Chapter 561: What’s wrong with the physical examination?
After returning from the office, Lin Weimin chased after Cheng Zaochun and entered his office.
"What should we do about Old Cheng? I'm too embarrassed to ask him!" Lin Weimin said.
Cheng Zaochun glanced at him and said, "You don't have to tell him. I'll tell him."
"Can you convince him?" Lin Weimin looked doubtful.
Cheng Zaochun felt that he was underestimated by Lin Weimin, and snorted coldly, "I am a president and editor-in-chief, don't I have this little face?"
Lin Weimin felt that Cheng Zaochun might have received some kind of stimulation from his leader.
Old Cheng, you are a little too blindly confident in yourself now!
"Okay, okay, go and tell it yourself."
After Lin Weimin finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Cheng Zaochun stopped him, "Weimin, wait a moment."
"Anything else?" Lin Weimin stopped.
Cheng Zaochun asked him to sit down, with a smile on his face, "I have something good to tell you!"
Lin Weimin was curious. He went to the office to cause trouble for his leader. Was there anything good coming?
Facing his curious gaze, Cheng Zaochun showed a bit of satisfaction, "You, it's really a blessing to have a leader like me."
Lin Weimin stood up and said, "It's okay, I'm leaving!"
Did I sit down to listen to you bragging about yourself?
"Hey, don't be anxious!" Cheng Zaochun grabbed him.
Lin Weimin said impatiently: "Do you have anything to do? I'm busy over there!"
Cheng Zaochun gnashed his teeth inwardly. Who is the leader? It's Tiangang!
If it weren't for the Xiangjiang Sanlian incident, Cheng Zaochun would have cursed loudly long ago.
Hold on, you must hold on, a little impatience will ruin a big plan!
He forced a smile and said, "Weimin, it's been more than two years since you were promoted to deputy editor-in-chief, right?"
Lin Weimin's face changed when he heard this, and he smiled brightly, "That's right! It's almost been three years!"
Cheng Zaochun nodded and sighed, "Such a long time has passed in a flash. You are over 30, right?"
"Of course I am. I am thirty-one."
"You have done a good job in the past two years. Your work achievements are obvious to all, and your colleagues have praised you highly!"
Lin Weimin became excited when he heard this. Is he going to be promoted?
Deputy editor-in-chief, the next level is editor-in-chief. Old lady Wei was at this level back then. Thinking back to how powerful the old lady was back then, Lin Weimin couldn't help but be fascinated.
Although he rejected Pan Yaoming's olive branch without hesitation, he had no resistance to the meaning revealed by Cheng Zaochun.
Guowen Society, this is where Teacher Lin spent his youth.
Besides, the two companies look similar.
But the Guowen Society, with the word "national" in its name, has an extraordinary political status and influence.
In domestic literary circles, it is often jokingly called the "Royal Publishing House", which is evident from the name.
Becoming the highest leader of the editorial department of the company can be regarded as a reward and report on his work achievements over the years.
While Lin Weimin was thinking, Cheng Zaochun said, "The commune is planning to give you more responsibilities. I have reported this to the leader, and the leader has no objection."
Lin Weimin said happily: "Really? Did you just tell the leader? I didn't realize that the leader is a cold-faced person with a warm heart."
Cheng Zaochun cursed in his heart, thinking, have you forgotten about the time when you were fooling around with others in the office just now?
Dog temper!
"Mr. Zhou will retire after the New Year..."
Before Cheng Zaochun could finish his words, Lin Weimin, who had been so happy just now, immediately changed his expression.
"What do you mean? Want me to do Lao Zhou's job?"
Zhou Zhaoyun is the vice president of Guowen Publishing House in charge of book distribution, and his work achievements are hard to describe in a few words.
Especially in the past two years, the market has begun to be sluggish, and his work has been criticized even more by his colleagues in the company.
Besides, distribution work sometimes requires traveling all over the country. When Lin Weimin heard what Cheng Zaochun said, he immediately showed his reluctance.
Cheng Zaochun said angrily: "I gave you a promotion and yet you are so picky!"
"What's the difference between a vice president and a deputy editor-in-chief? I don't want to do two different jobs for one salary!"
Cheng Zaochun pointed at him angrily, "How can you be so picky when doing your job? The leader is right, you really have no organization or discipline at all!"
Seeing Cheng Zaochun's angry face, Lin Weimin softened his tone a little, "Boss, I'm not picky. You know me well. I just like to be an editor. Being a vice president has so many administrative affairs to deal with..."
“Does your editorial department have less administrative work?”
"How can it be the same? How much work does our editorial department have? Anyway, I love editing. Why don't you let me edit more books?"
Lin Weimin felt that he should not offend his leader too much. After all, he was going to add more responsibilities to him and his intentions were good.
Cheng Zaochun was just testing Lin Weimin just now. If a vice president retires, it would be good for Lin Weimin to take the position first. After another year or two, he can be promoted to editor-in-chief, and then take the position of president. He can take on two positions at the same time, just like he does now. It is legitimate and reasonable!
What a pity, this bastard doesn't know how to appreciate a good person.
Cheng Zaochun sighed again, I don’t even know my own son this well.
He knew that Lin Weimin would most likely refuse the position of vice president, so he proposed to his superiors the position of editor-in-chief.
Cheng Zaochun said nothing, staring at Lin Weimin with a serious expression. After a long while, he sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, then go edit the book, and the position of editor-in-chief will be given to you."
When Lin Weimin heard this, his face was slightly surprised, then he showed a hint of joy, and then he showed a bit of worry. The speed of his expression changing was comparable to that of Stephen Chow in "The King of Comedy". It must be a unique skill inherited from his ancestors.
"Leader, what's wrong with the physical examination?"
Just one sentence was enough to make Cheng Zaochun so angry that he couldn't find anyone else like him in the Chinese Literature Society.
Cheng Zaochun was furious and pointed at the office door, "Get out of here!"
Lin Weimin didn't care. "Look at you. You asked me to be the editor-in-chief. I'm worried about your health!"
Cheng Zaochun restrained himself for a long time, and finally managed to suppress his anger, "Hong Kong Joint Publishing Company has contacted you, right?"
Lin Weimin was a little surprised. "Leader, you are well-informed, right?"
"Stop smiling at me! Why didn't you tell me about this? Did you intend to run over there?"
"Look at what you said. I was trained by our Chinese Literature Society. I have a heart that is always looking up to the sun and I have absolutely no second thoughts. As soon as they told me about it, I immediately rejected it without any hesitation."
Lin Weimin held his head high and chest puffed out when he spoke. If this had happened in wartime, he would not even blink if he was shackled and taken to the execution ground.
Cheng Zaochun didn't believe it and asked, "How did the call from Hong Kong get to the leader?"
"The call was made to the leader?" Lin Weimin was surprised again, "I didn't know! When Pan Yaoming found me, I rejected him on the spot."
Lin Weimin thought about it and said proudly, "Maybe he is eager to recruit talents and thinks too highly of me!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, Cheng Zaochun thought about it and felt that this possibility seemed very high.
"Alright, alright!" He waved his hands and said, "Do you have any objections to the editor-in-chief position? If you have no objection, it's settled!"
Lin Weimin smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, leader. Without your cultivation, I, Xiaolin..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Cheng Zaochun interrupted Lin Weimin's hypocritical show of loyalty with a look of disgust on his face.
"Leader, after I become the editor-in-chief, Contemporary..."
Before Lin Weimin could finish his words, Cheng Zaochun said impatiently, "You are the editor-in-chief now. Don't always think about one publication. Consider the overall situation of the company. Can you have a sense of the overall situation? Besides, can you give your subordinates some room for development?"
"I'm asking who will take over my job!" Lin Weimin really wanted to ask if he could continue to work part-time for Contemporary Magazine, but Cheng Zaochun rejected his request outright, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Who do you like?" Cheng Zaochun asked.
Lin Weimin hesitated for a moment and said, "Old He!"
Cheng Zaochun nodded and said, "Old He has both the ability and experience. He has been the deputy editor-in-chief for many years. It's time for him to be promoted."
After that, he instructed: "Don't make this public yet, wait until it's confirmed after the New Year!"
Lin Weimin gave him a look and said, "Don't worry!"
Cheng Zaochun stared into his eyes, and the more he looked, the more worried he became. Lin Weimin said firmly, "I promise!"
Cheng Zaochun shook his hand, "Okay, that's it, let's go."
Chasing Lin Weimin out of the office, he walked to the door of the office and suddenly turned back and asked, "Is there really nothing wrong with you?"
Cheng Zaochun couldn't hold back his anger and grabbed a book on the table and pretended to throw it, which scared Lin Weimin so much that he ran away.
After Lin Weimin ran away in panic, Cheng Zaochun smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
I really don’t know when this brat will mature!
After a while, thinking about what he had promised his leader, he called the Shaanxi Literary Association.
After waiting for a while, the phone was picked up.
"Hello, Comrade Zhongshi, I'm Cheng Zaochun!"
Cheng Zhongshi didn't expect to receive a call from Cheng Zaochun.
He published his works several times in Guowen Publishing House, but the people he interacted with most were several editors of "Contemporary". He only met the president Cheng Zaochun once at the symposium on "White Deer Plain".
He held the receiver and listened for a long time, and after Cheng Zaochun explained the situation, he fell silent.
Cheng Zaochun naturally heard his protest from the silent silence.
"Comrade Zhongshi, this call was originally meant for Weimin.
But he was also very angry because your novel was banned. Today, he took me to the office to ask the leader for an explanation, and the conversation with the leader was not very pleasant.
I know how much he cares for you fellow writers, and I think you should be aware of that too.
To be honest, it was my idea to delete and modify the novel.
Now the issue of yellow S and F movements is no longer mentioned, but it is still not allowed to be printed, and there are many concerns.
He has good intentions in protecting you for the sake of the people, but I don’t want him to offend too many people. He is going to be promoted to editor-in-chief soon. If he gets into a bad rap with his superiors, it will be difficult for him to carry out his work in the future, don’t you think? "
Cheng Zaochun brought up Lin Weimin, and Cheng Zhongshi could no longer remain silent, especially when he heard that Lin Weimin had even found the highest leader of the Publishing Administration regarding the novel. Cheng Zhongshi was moved but also filled with guilt.
President Cheng said that Weimin would be promoted to editor-in-chief soon, and at this critical juncture his bright future could not be ruined because of his affairs.
"President Cheng, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter. But..."
When Cheng Zaochun heard the "but", he felt a little nervous, thinking that Cheng Zhongshi would still be stubborn. Fortunately, he continued, "White Deer Plain is my masterpiece. If I am asked to revise it, I am afraid that I will feel bad. Hesitation and hesitation will only waste time. I think we should entrust this matter to the editors of Contemporary. I am familiar with them and we have good communication. After you revise the proof, let me see it."
Cheng Zaochun felt relieved when he heard this, and said gratefully: "Comrade Zhongshi, thank you for your understanding."
"President Cheng, don't say that. This matter was caused by White Deer Plain. I have heard some rumors in Shaanxi, and I know the work you have done. I should be the one thanking you."
At this point, Cheng Zhongshi said humbly, "There is just one thing..."
"you say."
"In the future, if there is a suitable opportunity, can you publish the complete version of this novel?"
Cheng Zaochun's heart ached, and he blurted out, "No problem! I promise you, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, this novel will be shown in its complete version. And, it won't take too long!"
After receiving his promise, Cheng Zhongshi felt relieved. "Thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Zaochun sighed helplessly.
