"Okay, let's go to a restaurant for dinner first. A good mutton hotpot restaurant has recently opened near our company. Here we will have the first serving of mutton in autumn." A colleague stood up and said.

Other colleagues stopped their work and walked towards the elevator together, chatting and laughing.

In his later years, Lin went out to eat with his colleagues.

After eating and drinking, I followed them back to the company office and took a nap at the desk.

After the bell rings, continue to work.

Lin was busy until six o'clock in the evening. His body was exhausted and he was just about to leave.

The team leader came out on time and said, "I'll take ten minutes of your time to have a meeting."

After the team leader left, colleagues cried out in grief.

But during the meeting, I still brought my own notebook and pen.

Lin Wannian's group is ostensibly responsible for urban and fantasy-themed stories for men, but in reality the editors accept stories of all genres.

For example, stories about female CEOs, infinite flow, or science fiction, as long as the editor thinks the article has money potential, he will accept it, regardless of whether it is a vegetarian or not.

Some male editors in charge of male-oriented publications even accept BL novels, or the first author they accept writes romance novels, but the second author writes BL novels. What can the straight male editors do? They can only bite the bullet and accept the novels, after all, the authors are under their names.

The content of the meeting was to talk about the latest popular male-oriented urban and fantasy-themed novels.

Hongjin has been developing for so long and has occupied the first place in the free platform. With the high popularity and low threshold for free signing, more and more authors are pouring in, and the success or failure of the book is determined by the market.

But if this continues, the quality of books will not improve. When people hear the name Hongjin, they will know that it is a platform for amateur writers.

What they plan to do is to spend money to attract famous authors from other sites to publish books.

Through famous authors, the quality of books on the platform can be improved and the market can be avoided from sinking. Famous authors generally have a stable writing style.

So the reason why the team leader held the meeting was not only to say these things, but also to give them targets, which was to attract famous authors from other sites to join Hongjin this quarter, preferably well-known authors with an income of over one million.

There are many editors in the editorial department who have jumped from other platforms and have accumulated a lot of authors on their original platforms. This is not difficult for these editors.

Lin was worried in his later years, because the original owner took office in Hongjin right after graduation and there were no external authors.

Although he is not familiar with the route, he can also recruit online.

Some famous authors who submit their works via email want to sign a guarantee letter, and usually they will include their achievements. Some big guys come under a pseudonym and do not reveal their past achievements. For this kind of thing, it is the author's choice and there is nothing we can say.

The meeting was supposed to last ten minutes, but the team leader dragged it on for twenty minutes.

However, it doesn't affect his return home, it just prolongs his time without money and wastes his time after get off work.

After a long and dusty journey back, Lin Wannian turned on the navigation on his phone and went to a nearby food court. Eating takeout was not enough, so he had to eat some freshly made delicacies.

By this time, it was already dark, the streets were lit up, and there were bustling scenes and crowds of people everywhere.

Lin Wannian bypassed the green light and drove to the shared tram parking area in the square. He put down his helmet and took out a U-shaped lock to lock the tire.

Taking off his helmet, he walked towards the bustling crowd with a smile on his face.

There are a lot of people, so you should hold your phone tightly and keep an eye on your wallet to avoid pickpockets.

Lin always remembered this truth in his later years. He bought a bag of roast goose, and standing in front of the stall, he could smell the sweet meaty aroma, which made him salivate.

He took the food handed to him by the boss, walked to the stairs, and was about to eat.

"Catch the thief! He stole my cell phone!" a sharp female voice came.

Lin Wannian subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man wearing a black mask running towards him.

Without saying a word, he tied the things into a knot and put them on the ground, then stretched out his long legs the moment the man ran over.

The man was caught off guard by the kick and stopped subconsciously.

Lin Wannian grabbed his arm, twisted it ninety degrees, and kicked his calf with his foot.

"ah--"

The pain from his hands and feet made him scream, his legs went weak, and the things in his hands fell.

Lin Wannian grabbed his hands, crossed them behind his back, and kicked the man on the butt, forcing him to kneel down.

Following Lin Wannian's behavior, many passers-by gathered around him, and some of them even called the police.

The woman behind him ran up and saw that the man had been restrained. She gasped, tears in her eyes, and said with gratitude, "Thank you!"

The voice is a little hoarse.

"It's okay, just pick up your things." Lin Wannian waved his hand.

After a while, the police came.

After asking about the situation, he took out iron handcuffs and took the thief back to the police station.

After the police left, the passers-by surrounding Lin Wannian dispersed one after another. Lin Wannian looked at the place where he had just thrown the milk goose, and saw that the bag had been flattened by someone.

Lin Late Years: “…”

Emmm, twenty dollars are gone.

He stared at it with resentful eyes for a while, and had no choice but to go buy it again.

"That." The woman from before had not left yet and was looking at him cautiously.

Lin Late felt that she was a little sensitive to the people or things around her, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly to make himself more friendly: "What's wrong?"

The girl was wearing a white mask. She was originally anxious because the thief stole her things and her eyes were red. Now she is much better. She pointed her index finger at the place where Lin Wannian was looking and said, "I will buy you some new food. Don't refuse! Thank you for your enthusiastic help!"

When the other party praised him, Lin Wannian became modest: "How can I let you treat me? It's okay."

"How can that be!" The woman's eyes widened, and she lowered her head again: "If it weren't for you, my phone would have been taken. Don't worry, I have money."

Seeing the other party's firm tone, Lin Wannian couldn't refuse and could only nod: "Okay."

The woman walked to where Lin Wannian dropped the item and sniffed it: "Did you buy the suckling goose?"

"yes."

So the woman took Lin Wannian to the stall selling suckling goose: "Uncle, two servings of suckling goose, please."

"Okay!"

Lin Wannian listened to her speaking skillfully and originally thought that she was just sensitive to the surrounding environment, but in fact it was not very serious.

The woman seemed to have guessed what Lin was thinking and explained, "I often visit this stall and I am familiar with it."

"oh oh."

The woman stuffed the two copies into Lin Wannian's hands without questioning: "Thank you so much for your help today! Please accept them."

"Okay! Thank you." Lin Wannian did not refuse.

When she saw him take it, the woman's eyebrows curved and she seemed to be in a good mood.
