"Hey, isn't this our Editor-in-Chief Zhang? What? You knew you couldn't win, so you're just giving up? Haha!"
"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Zhang, although your department does not have much sales, it's not the end of the game yet. Maybe if you give it a try at the last minute, you can beat our team."
"Haha, Editor-in-Chief Li, look at what you're saying. Doesn't our Editor-in-Chief Zhang really want to win? It's obviously because you're not strong enough. You can't sell his publications at all.
Hey, look at the truth I’m telling you!
Editor Zhang, why don't you go tell the president right now that you don't want to participate in the competition? That way you won't lose too badly. Isn't that right?"
Listening to the laughter of his colleagues, Chief Editor Zhang couldn't help but tighten his hands at his sides.
Laugh, laugh, laugh as much as you can. The happier you laugh now, the more embarrassed you will be when you get slapped in the face later!
"The president is here!"
"Hello, President!"
"Okay, hello everyone! I've called you all here today mainly to inform you of something. As you all know, our children's book department has been facing the problem of poor sales.
Everyone has been very distressed about this. I know that everyone has always wanted to help the children's book department, but they have no good ideas.''
"Yes, we've always been very worried about the sales of the children's book department, but we just don't have any good ideas. Sigh! Editor-in-Chief Zhang, it's really hard for you!"
As they spoke, the chief editors of the departments around Editor-in-Chief Zhang tapped him on the shoulder. They looked sincere and seemed to be really worried about him!
Only Editor-in-Chief Zhang could see the mockery and indifference in the eyes of his colleagues!
"Okay, it's good that everyone has this idea, but there's no need to worry too much. Today I have good news for you all!"
“You may not have noticed that in the past two years, the newspapers in Lian City have developed very rapidly. I still remember that they came to our newspaper to learn three years ago!
Their newspaper has launched a number of new publications, and their sales in Heilongjiang Province are booming. This time, they want to expand their market, so they want to cooperate with our newspaper."
The president held a cup of old tea, drank it slowly, and spoke slowly.
The president seemed so calm, but the editors-in-chief of various underground departments could no longer sit still!
"President, we are not on the same level as Lian City's newspaper. Wouldn't cooperating with them lower our status?"
"Yes, President, we can buy out their new ideas. Why would we lower ourselves to become partners with them? Besides, they want to expand their market. Isn't that a threat to us?"
…
The underground editors were all very puzzled. Many of them held opposing views, with only a few holding neutral and supportive views. The two sides argued endlessly.
The president placed the cup heavily on the table with a thud, and the conference room instantly fell silent.
"Have you quarreled enough?" the president said with an astonishing aura.
"I just heard what you said. It seems that most of you don't want to cooperate, right? You also said that it will pose a threat to us. I shouldn't have heard it wrong!
Threat? You guys really opened my eyes.
Just because of this unknown threat, you've rejected this opportunity that could have allowed you to advance. I finally understand why the Taipei City newspaper's development has stagnated in the past two years. Humph!"
These words made many editors sitting below blush.
They want to refute, but they don't know how.
"Okay, I don't need your consent. I've already consulted the higher-ups about this matter a few weeks ago, and I'm just here to let you know today!"
Then why didn’t you make it clear just now? How do we know that the leader has agreed?
The editor below seemed to be saying something sticky in his mouth, but his voice was not loud, so the president and Editor-in-Chief Zhang pretended not to hear.
"Okay, that's all for today. I don't care if you continue to discuss and express your dissatisfaction, but
If I find out that you spread some bad things about me in private, you should think carefully about the consequences!"
The president's voice was very serious, and he stared at the people below with a warning look on his face.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, Deputy Editor Meng has mailed you this month's sales chart!"
"What? So soon! I thought I'd have to wait a day or two. Okay, bring it back. The president and the editors-in-chief are here too, so let them take a look!"
As Chief Editor Zhang was speaking, he "accidentally" turned to the last page of the form and "accidentally" dropped it on the table.
Now, the editors who were already angry saw the number specially marked in bright red.
"?"
"How is this possible?"
The editors looked dazed, as all their departments combined did not have such high sales volumes.
What's more, it's the unpopular children's book department, how could this be possible?
"Good, good! Haha, it seems that the situation in the children's book department can be improved! We really made the right move! Isn't it?" The president glanced at the editors-in-chief who looked listless and asked in a heavier tone.
The editors now feel their faces are red and hot, they have been hit too hard!
"Okay, all of you go out first. I want to talk to Editor-in-Chief Zhang alone!"
The president looked disgusted and didn't want these guys to continue to bother him, so he just dismissed them casually.
