As a well-known large enterprise, Jinwu is very busy every day.

Although the work schedule is 9:00 a.m., people usually clock in to work around 8:30 a.m.

Everyone has to complete a series of fixed processes such as making coffee, eating breakfast, going to the toilet, checking emails, etc. before the regular meeting at 10:00

a.m. At around 10:00 a.m., each department starts the meeting according to their own habits. The time varies from half an hour to more than an hour. If you encounter a particularly demanding leader, the meeting may last until lunch and then start work in the afternoon.

In the private group of employees, similar complaints can often be seen:

[Boss X is really annoying. Every meeting lasts two hours and then he has to work overtime]

[Yes, even if there is overtime compensation, it is still very unpleasant]

[Boss Y is okay. Our department is more efficient]

[Envy. There is nothing wrong with Boss Y except that he is a little strict]

[Why is Diane silent? Let's have Japanese food together at noon? ]

[Boss Kang just assigned a job, so I won't go]

[Bring you a lunch box? ]

[Thank you, love you]

Diane turned off her phone and started to work attentively.

Her position is the CEO's secretary, which is a very romantic job. In the romantic novels published by Morning Star next door, at least three out of ten books contain the keyword "secretary".

However, in real life, being a secretary to a CEO means doing boring and tedious work.

Arranging meetings, ordering meals, replying to emails, and answering phone calls require patience, meticulousness, and caution. A confused little girl will be fired within three days.

Diane graduated from a prestigious university and started her internship in her junior year. She got this job right after graduation. Her current salary has exceeded that of most of her classmates. Except for the fact that she has no time to rest when she is busy, everything else is good.

Back to the point, she suddenly had to do more work this afternoon, which was to organize a meeting document.

In the afternoon, President Kang had a meeting with the head of a newspaper. It was an old newspaper. The original owner had retired, and his daughter took over. He was preparing to make major changes in the near future.

This female president is a great beauty.

"President Yan, welcome." Kang Mucheng extended his hand.

"Boss Kang." Boss Yan has short hair, but it doesn't look androgynous. Instead, it looks gorgeous with her red lips. She shook hands politely, "Nice to meet you again."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries while entering the conference room to discuss cooperation.

Diane made tea and coffee, finished her work, and immediately went to the tea room to gossip with her colleagues.

"The atmosphere is great." She said excitedly, "I wonder if they will ask me to order dinner so we can have further contact."

A colleague held a coffee cup and peeked through the glass partition of the conference room: "Hey, she's really beautiful, how old is she?"

"Thirty, just came back from the United States. We have cooperated with their newspaper many times, and I heard that her father is an old friend of the president."

"An old acquaintance and a good match, very much like the character of a fiancée in a novel."

"Aren't they all villains?"

"You're out of date. Now it's popular for beautiful, rich and female supporting characters to make a comeback."

"Aren't these female bosses usually supporting movie stars?"

"Qiangqiang is also very attractive... uh, Teacher Jian?" The colleague realized belatedly that the voice was not Diane's. He turned his head and was immediately embarrassed.

Jian Jing was unaware and even peeked: "Have they just started? When will it end?"

Diane: "Boss Kang has other plans this afternoon, why don't you go to the lounge and wait?"

Jian Jing nodded and went to the lounge with familiarity.

Diane asked her colleague: "Which five-star hotel's internet-famous afternoon tea was it that you mentioned the other day?"

The colleague was shocked: "You want to order this? It's very expensive, and it costs more than 800 even if you buy it in a group."

"Every time Teacher Jian comes, Boss Kang asks me to order afternoon tea." Diane gave her a look that said "you know what I mean." "Don't worry, he won't blink an eye no matter how expensive it is."

The colleague couldn't help laughing and lowered his voice: "Little princess..."

When you gossip about others, others are also gossiping about you.

Jian Jing actually heard a few words, but didn't take it to heart. She found a book in the lounge, which was the winner of a certain literary award.

The writing is beautiful and the flow of ideas makes people sleepy.

"Squeak--", the door opened.

Kang Mucheng called her: "Come and have a snack."

Jian Jing yawned and strolled to his office. The layout was as simple as ever. All the books were arranged in alphabetical order, and the shelves were displayed with photos of various writers receiving awards.

She glanced at it and was not very happy: "Why is mine at the very end?"

"It's arranged by age." Kang Mucheng asked, "Where do you want to put it?"

Jian Jing picked up the photo frame and put the photo of herself wearing a rose wedding dress and receiving the Dream Pen Award in the middle.

Kang Mucheng looked at it for several times, frowning slightly.

"Is it not possible?"

He walked over and rearranged the photos of other people in alphabetical order, so that the one starting with J was right in the middle.

Jian Jing: "..." The editor's occupational disease is really unbearable.

Diane brought coffee and afternoon tea sets, filling the entire tea table. Jian

Jing picked up a piece of cake and tasted it, it tasted good: "Are you busy?"

"Not bad."

Diane thought to herself: Yes, she turned down a meeting, so she is indeed not busy.

Kang Mucheng asked: "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"Why else would I meet the boss?" she asked back.

Kang Mucheng: "No money? What do you want? I'll pay for you first."

Diane pondered: Is it okay to advance the salary to buy a suite?

"Of course it's to make money." Jian Jing threw the manuscript in front of him, "New story, 10,000 words, take a look."

Diane glanced at the clock and felt relieved: I'll check the restaurant later, I can get off work at five o'clock today.

As expected, Kang Mucheng flipped through the manuscript and immediately said, "Diane, please make a reservation - what do you want to eat?"

Jian Jing: "Home-cooked food."

She was tired of all the delicacies from land and sea and had a headache when she saw the hotel. She just wanted to go to his house and learn the cooking skills of the housekeeper. The food was ordinary and satisfying.

"Call Aunt Wang and ask her to make more." Kang Mucheng ordered without raising his head.

Diane: "Okay, Mr. Kang."

She closed the door tactfully, leaving a quiet space.

Kang Mucheng immediately started reading the new chapter. Jian Jing ate afternoon tea without hesitation. The cake was good, not too sweet, the sandwich was standard, and the jam pie was a little sweet.

The length of 10,000 words is not long, and it also leads to the beginning of the story.

Kang Mucheng finished reading it quickly and pondered: "A high school girl who sleepwalks often appears at the crime scene inexplicably? What's the meaning of this setting?"

Jian Jing said: "She relies on dreaming to trace and reconstruct the case in her dreams, and finally finds the murderer."

Kang Mucheng asked: "Is it a bit fancy?"

"I don't like stories that are too realistic." She sat on the armrest of the sofa, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, and the golden sunlight fell on her body, like a layer of golden sleeves. "Murder is cruel enough, and it's not bad to have something surreal."

Kang Mucheng didn't have any objection: "Jingjing, I will always support your decision. However, I also want to remind you that the love part should not take up too much space."

Jian Jing blinked: "Why do you think so?"

"The neighbor who lives opposite is a classmate." He said, "I think you won't just randomly assign a character."

Jian Jing pinched out a little distance: "That's all."

Kang Mucheng said: "You don't have to be so specific, just don't make a scene and steal the show."

"No, it's a personal preference." She looked into the distance and smiled softly, "I think love is like walking on a path in the woods, with a hidden path ahead, hazy morning mist, and a call from the other end. Although it's unpredictable, it's also the most interesting. Once you pass through the entire woods and reach the end, the story ends."

Jian Jing said: "At this point, the reader has been satisfied and begins to lose the desire to explore. Then won't my book be sold?"

"Nonsense." Kang Mucheng shook his head. "According to you, Morning Star's inventory is all rotten in the warehouse."

She said, "That's what I said. What do you think?"

He put away the manuscript and replied, "As long as you are happy, you can write whatever you want."

"Then I feel relieved." She jumped off the sofa. "Are you off work?"

"Four fifteen, what off work?" Kang Mucheng said, "Put the manuscript aside for now. I have something to tell you."

He went to the desk and took out a stack of English newspapers: "I wanted to mention it to you next month. Since you are here, take a look at this first."

Jian Jing picked up the newspaper, but it was a news report from the United States, with a special section for introducing best-selling books.

In the past six months, the name of "Devil Doctor" has always been on the list, the difference is just a few places up and down. There are even professional book critics who write reviews for her.

She was surprised: "Why is it so popular?"

"The setting suits their taste very well."

Although the title of "devil" is used in the book, it has nothing to do with Satan. Rather than being the incarnation of the devil, it is more like a collection of the evil of human nature.

Jian Jing never thought of adding any religious elements, and hunters and God have never been involved.

But in the translation process, the translator naturally translated it into Devil, which is more familiar to foreigners, and its image is also very similar to the familiar devil.

Foreigners accept it without any pressure.

Without cultural barriers, a best-selling book that is popular in China will naturally be loved abroad. After "Devil Doctor 1" was translated overseas, it quickly topped the recommendation list. Later, 2 and 3 were published successively, and overseas book fans have become addicted to it.

Recently, "Devil Doctor 3" was almost simultaneously released overseas, and the sales volume has been rising steadily, which is very impressive.

With high sales, various awards will naturally favor it.

Kang Mucheng turned to the latest issue: "You won the annual best overseas novel award. The award ceremony will be next month, do you want to go?"

"Then it's summer vacation, of course I will go." Jian Jing asked, "You don't have to buy a dress specially this time, right?"

Kang Mucheng looked up at her.

Jian Jing: "?"

Kang Mucheng: "Unless you get married, I don't want to give you any white dresses anymore."

She laughed.

Outside the conference room, the employees exchanged glances with each other.

In a private chat group:

One of the employees quietly opened the gossip page of the forum and found the collected post - "818 Jinwu President and his little princess".

Three months after the post was published, there have been nearly a hundred pages of replies, and it is still a hot topic in the forum.

LZ: I finally made up my mind to resign. In the last post, I wrote about some of my experiences and inside stories in the publishing industry, and received support from many colleagues. This time I decided to write something lighthearted and expose a piece of gossip that I have been following for a long time.

As usual, the author of the post has already resigned and is no longer in the publishing industry. I have no competitive relationship with my colleagues. I just posted for entertainment. I am not exaggerating or slandering. You can say that I am making up stories or that my performance is poor. Haha.

Well, let me talk to you about the talented writer Jian Jing. She is called the Little Princess of the Golden Crow. It is not her jealous colleagues who are blackening her. It is the sweet heroine herself. She is much better than the novels of Chen Xing next door (I hope Mr. Tao next door will not be angry hahaha)

...

The employee pulled the post to the end and chose to post anonymously, replying:

Today the little princess came to the company, and it was another day of rampant in the president's office!

In the office.

Jian Jing: "A-choo!"

Kang Mucheng: "Is the air conditioning too low?"

"It shouldn't be." She is very confident in her physical fitness. After thinking about it, she can only say, "Could it be that the readers are urging you to finish your manuscripts behind your back?"

Kang Mucheng smiled: "Then write quickly."

Jian Jing: Oh, it's really hard to make money.
