"Focus on training? This... Editor-in-Chief... I actually think 'Pen Xiao Longshe' writes very well. I'm completely obsessed with 'Taisha Slayer'. I have to read every update as soon as it's published. But... but the problem is... I still haven't contacted him... How can I focus on training him?"
In the content department of Tomato Novel, Cao Guoguo stood in the editor-in-chief's office, looking like a child who had done something wrong, with his hands entangled with each other, not knowing where to put them, and he lowered his head and spoke softly.
The head of the content department is the editor-in-chief of Tomato Novel.
Although the content department is relatively weak among all the departments of Tomato Novel and does not have much power, and is subject to the constraints of various departments both internally and externally, the editor-in-chief is still a senior executive position in Tomato Novel.
Just like authors have pen names and editors have nicknames, the editor-in-chief of Tomato Novel also has his own nickname.
Eight, four, one, and six, each number is one less than nine, five, two, and seven.
It can be regarded as a tribute to Stephen Chow.
Hearing Cao Guoguo admit that he had not been able to contact the author under his name, 8416 couldn't help but have a lot of questions in his mind.
"What do you mean by 'I can't get in touch'? Isn't this author under your editor account? It's been over a month since the book was published, and the data has exploded in the first month. I've never seen anything like this before. And that author was the number one on the entire site last month in terms of both updates and income. Have you never spoken to him?"
8416 asked in confusion.
Cao Guoguo was almost in tears, and said rather aggrievedly, "He's an author under my name, but he didn't submit his manuscript to me internally. He sent it directly to Xixi for signature. I just arrived, and I was allowed to pick some authors under Xixi who I thought had potential, so I got him under my name."
But what I didn't expect was that I haven't been able to contact him since I got him into my own name. My friend request on chat apps has gone unanswered. He finally got approved a while ago, but when I sent him a message, he never replied.
Even when I called him, he was always out of service, as if he had blocked me! But the problem is, he couldn't have known my phone number in advance, so how could he have blocked me? If it weren't for the fact that our website requires real-name phone numbers for signing contracts, I would have thought I had misremembered the phone number!
8416 was stunned and asked, "It's still out of service area? How many calls did you make?"
Cao Guoguo was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously counted on her fingers: "I haven't counted, but there must be about ten or eight. Could it be that he has set it to not answer calls from strangers? But... that's not right... If it automatically rejects calls from strangers, the prompt tone should be 'The number you dialed cannot be connected', right?"
8416 thought for a moment and said helplessly, "Try to get in touch. 'Taisha Demon Slayer' is not only updated quickly and attracts a lot of attention, but the content is also very profound. Compared to other books on the platform, it has enormous adaptation value. Whether it's a film or television adaptation, comics, or game adaptation, this book has the potential to become a benchmark work on the platform!"
We absolutely have to invite him to the annual author conference next year. As long as he can maintain his current momentum, the IP license for his book will sell very well. The only challenge is how much it can fetch. We can't expect to sell all the IP licenses and still not be able to attend the event. That would be embarrassing.
Cao Guoguo bit her lip and suddenly clenched her fists, saying, "Don't worry, Editor-in-Chief! I'll definitely contact him! Since I've gotten him under my name and become his editor, I must do my job well! Maintaining relationships with authors is my responsibility! I absolutely won't delay anything!"
Ba Si Yi Liu nodded and said, "Determination is a good thing. Go get busy. The more talented the author, the more individual they may be. This is very normal. As editors, we must be patient with key authors."
"Yes! Editor-in-Chief!"
Cao Guoguo left the editor-in-chief's office and returned to his workstation. He looked at the time and then at the dialog box on his computer which still had no reply. Suddenly, a bold decision emerged in his mind.
Since the phone call couldn't get through and there was no reply to the message on the chat app, she might as well run to the author's city and go to his door to meet him offline!
Compared with other websites, Tomato Novel has the most stringent requirements for registering author information.
Due to the requirements of the parent company, the author account of Tomato Novel implements the rules of special account.
One ID card can only register one author account. Whether it is a bank card or mobile phone number, it must be consistent with the registered ID card.
In this case, relying on the author information recorded in the background, it is definitely not difficult to go to the local area to find the author himself!
After sorting out the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind, Cao Guoguo instinctively became excited.
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed!
As long as I can meet the author of "Taixia Demon Slayer" offline, I will be able to find out the real reason why he ignores me!
Compared to the current situation where she is always waiting indefinitely and has no idea what the other party's situation is, if she can really figure everything out, it will be easier for her to carry out her work next, right?
The editor-in-chief has already said that "Taixia Demon Slayer" will become a benchmark work of the company, and the subsequent IP licensing must be vigorously developed.
In this case, as the author's editor, if she fails to keep abreast of the author's movements, she can definitely be said to be derelict in her duty!
They should be honest with each other and communicate with each other, and it would be best if they could become friends. Then, if she needs his cooperation in work in the future, would he still have the nerve to pretend to be dead and refuse like he is now?
Thinking of this, Cao Guoguo became a little excited.
His two big eyes sparkled with excitement, and he immediately took out his cell phone and began searching for prices for round-trip air tickets and hotel accommodation.
She knew that the author of "Taixia Demon Slayer" lived on Qin Island!
For Cao Guoguo, Qindao is undoubtedly a beautiful city full of attraction.
Although she has never been there, it does not prevent her from having a good impression of the place.
Red tiles and green trees, blue sea and sky, golden beaches and breathtaking European-style buildings!
Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit the author and establish a good personal relationship with him, she can also take the chance to have a good time in Qindao City for a few days. It's perfect!
