It's obvious that this is a deliberate plan. They don't even want to leave any readers for the start.

At this time, all major forums were in an uproar because of the collective job-hopping of Qidian writers.

Almost all of the most popular posts are about the news that Qidian’s home was robbed.

"Is this starting point going to disappear? After all, all the writers have been poached."

"What a shame! I quite like Qidian's books."

"Looks like we need to change the website."

"I'm curious why the author of 'Ghost Lights Up' hasn't left. Is the money he was paid not enough?"

While everyone was discussing, the editor-in-chief, Lao Xuan, appeared in the editorial office in a hurry. In the past, everyone might be surprised, after all, the editor-in-chief might not show up for several days, let alone so early in the morning. But today, no one was surprised.

With such a big thing happening, it would be strange if the editor-in-chief didn't come.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief."

Everyone saw Lao Xuan running straight to the editor-in-chief's office without even raising his head.

Only then did everyone realize that the editor-in-chief didn't seem to be here today.

Won't……

Everyone looked at each other.

A bad thought arose in everyone's mind.

The entire editorial department stared at the direction of the editor-in-chief's office.

You may not know whether the editor-in-chief came early today and no one saw him, or... he changed jobs.

Soon, everyone saw Lao Xuan walking out with a gloomy face and holding something that looked like a resignation letter. Needless to say, everyone knew the result from the editor-in-chief's expression.

When they saw the editor-in-chief coming, everyone stood up to greet him. They were very cautious and no one dared to make any noise, for fear of bringing bad luck to the editor-in-chief.

Everyone saw the editor-in-chief with a gloomy face. At this moment, everyone was on the verge of exploding. Everyone felt that the editor-in-chief was gritting his teeth when he spoke.

"Have you all read it? How many authors have switched websites?"

“Raise your hand if you have an author who has switched jobs.”

As soon as Lao Xuan finished speaking, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ding Yuan came running in, sweating profusely.

Seeing that the editor-in-chief Lao Xuan had arrived, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

Although the editor-in-chief, Lao Xuan, has already given up his powers, everyone thinks that he is just waiting to retire.

But in the eyes of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Ding Yuan, Editor-in-Chief Lao Xuan is his teacher and the company's mainstay.

Before online literature became popular, Lao Xuan worked as the editor-in-chief of a provincial publishing house until he was in his fifties. He originally wanted to work there until retirement, but was poached by Boss Qian with a high salary.

At that time, Lao Xuan had agreed with his boss that he would retire and go home to take care of his grandchildren after the company was on track. However, after that incident, the company had no money to operate and had to be transferred and sold.

After changing the boss, Lao Xuan had to stay for a few more years in order to stabilize the morale of the troops.

After the company got on track, Lao Xuan had been thinking about retirement recently, but who would have thought that he would encounter something like this again.

At this time, Zhuang Yuan was so anxious that he forgot about this matter. He quickly clicked into "Ghost Lights Up" and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that there was no transfer announcement.

I was scared to death.

This show of hands showed the number of people who responded. Almost all of the more than 20 editors raised their hands.

"I've got three gone."

"I have four"

"Two of me."

As the numbers came out, Editor-in-Chief Lao Xuan's expression became increasingly grim.

This is just the number of authors who have left the male-centered genre. How many more will there be if the female-centered genre is included?

Zhuang Yuan found that everyone except him raised their hands.

At this time, at least one author has jumped ship.

Except for one very popular author in Ningxia, all other authors under Zhuang Yuan are newcomers. Although some of them have achieved good results, they are still newcomers after all, and they are lucky to have survived this war of poaching.

Seeing all these hands raised in unison, Lao Xuan felt his blood pressure was about to rise.

Seeing Zhuang Yuan raise his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not a complete annihilation.

He never expected this to happen, because he thought that after changing the boss, the benefits of his website would be the best among novel websites.

"Six editors didn't show up today, and the writers we had were probably... taken away as well."

At this time, Zhuang Yuan looked at the empty workstation and spoke.

This was another critical blow to the editor-in-chief, Lao Xuan.

"Zhuang Yuan."

Hearing the editor-in-chief calling him, Zhuang Yuan thought to himself that something was wrong. He thought his reminder had angered the editor-in-chief.

"Starting today, Zhuang Yuan will serve as acting editor-in-chief."

"The appointment letter will be provided later."

Hearing the editor-in-chief's words, everyone looked at Zhuang Yuan, their eyes full of envy.

Unexpectedly, the editor-in-chief and his competitors left, which gave Zhuang Yuan a great advantage.

If editor-in-chief Qian Kai had not left, even if Zhuang Yuan was promoted, he would at most be deputy editor-in-chief.

Nor would he be promoted to editor-in-chief overnight, which would save him three to five years in the workplace.

This is really bad luck.

At this moment, Zhuang Yuan had only one thought in his mind: Ningxia is really a lucky star.

His sister became a shareholder of the company thanks to Ningxia, and he became the editor-in-chief because of Ningxia.

"Meeting."

Of course, Zhuang Yuan, the acting editor-in-chief, had to attend this meeting. He followed the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief towards the meeting. It seemed that the leaders from the women's section would also come.

As soon as the meeting ended, the first thing Zhuang Yuan did was to call Ningxia.

He didn't expect that this large-scale job-hopping incident was much more serious than he thought. Not only did the pillars and countless well-known people jump ship, but even one-third of the senior executives of Qiidian's founding team suddenly resigned.

This is going to wipe out the whole thing. Even though many authors were poached last time, they were just authors. This time, even their nest was wiped out.
