On January 30, there are still 9 days before the Lunar New Year, the rivers and seas ushered in the first light snow. Before the ground could be whitened, it melted in a hurry...

The online complaints about the suspension of "Jinglu" are still continuing. Everyone is particularly dissatisfied with Liu Jingting's strategy for hunger marketing. The editorial department discussed countermeasures, but everyone's opinions were never unified.

Wang Jianshan and Chang Youdao suggested releasing the truth and trying to use the pressure of public opinion to reverse the situation. Several female editors' ideas were relatively calm and conservative, believing that the harm would outweigh the benefits if they really had an opposite effect.

"Of course I'm very angry, but public opinion pressure is really unreliable, because although public opinion can put pressure on it, it is easy to be suppressed. After all, we are doing business when doing magazines. Since we open the door to do business, of course, harmony will make money. The previous facts have also proved that harmony between officials and businessmen is the most ideal state."

Xu Qing held a white coffee cup and leaned against the table to analyze it with everyone. Of course, the main thing was to persuade Liu Jingting.

Liu Jingting, who had been listening to everyone's speech in silence, finally spoke: "Using public opinion is essentially abducting readers. This kind of thing cannot be the norm for solving problems. And as Aunt Qing said, those forces are not as strong as imagined, and they are easily out of control. I also think that I can return to the normal state in the past. Now it seems that the possibility is very small. It is not that I can't do it, but after doing it, I feel unhappy and uncomfortable, which is contrary to our original intention of doing magazines."

Xu Qing asked: "What did that Officer Chen say that day?"

"He asked me to make a choice, but in fact he gave me a choice. He asked me to deny some of my previous decisions, realize my ignorance, and make compensation as appropriate."

"How do you answer."

"Closed!"

Xu Qing smiled helplessly. She sighed softly and took a sip of coffee. After three years of travel, she should have known what this guy is.

Chang Youdao continued: "The key is that it has been delayed until the end of January. We can publish new issues as planned, but how should we make a preview in the next issue?"

Su Jin said: "I just announced the suspension of the publication. If a new magazine was announced suddenly, it would give people the illusion that we were a hasty little workshop."

Liu Jingting nodded and said, "So. We still merged the content of February with the special issue, forming a 'superbook' as usual, and the new content will still be submitted for review, and when will we give a reply. Then I just thought about Lao Chang and Jianshan's opinions, but I can mention the matter of the review of the content, without being too specific, statements, and unnecessary information, everyone can make up for it."

"Um."

"This should be the most appropriate response."

Wang Jianshan thought about it and expressed his approval. This was his first time to meet the editor-in-chief Liu Jingting to deal with the crisis. Overall, it was slightly beyond expectations, principled, able to listen to opinions, calm, confident, and mature beyond his age.

At this time, I suddenly heard Liu Jingting turn the subject, smiled and looked at Chang You, and said, "Old Chang, let's talk about your girlfriend, I can't help but want to gossip."

Three question marks immediately hung on Wang Jianshan's left head.

Chang Youdao also failed to turn his mind from the suppressed and serious topic just now. When he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he hesitated and said: "I'm still talking, but I haven't officially confirmed the relationship."

"It shouldn't be gone. With your charm, I was actually worried that you would develop with Green Pepper for a while, and now I feel relieved."

Green pepper turned red and she yelled in a low voice, "Editor-in-Chief~"

"Why are you relieved now?" Kang Lingyue asked.

"It is explicitly prohibited for colleagues to fall in love."

“Where is forbidden?”

"Isn't this an unspoken rule?"

Liu Jingting said as he looked around everyone, then his eyes fell on Xiao Qingyu and asked, "What are you talking about Lao Xiao?"

Xiao Qingyu stood there dumbfoundedly and subconsciously glanced at Green Pepper. Green Pepper's face changed slightly, and he was a little at a loss.

"What kind of inhumane regulations are this? Besides, Liu Jingting, you and Yang Lilu..."

"Ahem..." Liu Jingting glared at Kang Lingyue with dissatisfaction. Kang Lingyue said "Oh, hey", turned to look at Xu Qing, and asked for help, "Aunt Qing, you are talking."

Xu Qing laughed and said, "Okay, Boss Liu, don't joke about Qingyu and Qingjiao."

"Ah?!" Qingjiao's face showed a hint of shame, but Xiao Qingyu was even hirsute than her.

Liu Jingting looked at Xiao Qingyu and Qingjiao respectively, and smiled and said, "I have seen it a long time ago, haha..."

Wang Jianshan's understanding of Liu Jingting finally became three-dimensional.

...

On February 4, the original plan of the February issue of "Jinglu" was completed, and the magazine officially began its annual holiday. Before everyone went home, they gathered in the office. After dinner, they played cards, ate snacks, chatted, and watched TV together.

Now, whether it is entertainment programs, news or advertisements on TV, they are beginning to create a festive and lively atmosphere to a greater or lesser extent. Although it is deliberate, it is better than nothing in this era when the atmosphere of the New Year is gradually losing.

"Hey, Liu Jingting, come and take a look. The news says that the Queen of England will visit China after the New Year."

Xu Qing, who was telling the girls about the embarrassing traveling in Liu Jingting, saw the news broadcast on TV and turned to Liu Jingting who was playing cards.

"I need the King of Big and Big now, not the Queen."

"After saying that, you are an acquaintance. As a local snake, you have no expression. You are really not polite."

"She didn't come to see me."

Su Jin raised his cell phone and said, "Report to the boss, there are really people online saying that the Queen is visiting China and is going to see you by name."

"This kind of rumor is too technical. How can they know whose name the queen ordered? Did she eavesdrop on the White Han Golden Palace?" Liu Jingting replied while looking at the card market.

"Some people said before that the US president was rejected when he wanted to meet Han Shuo." Chang Youdao said.

Wang Jianshan continued: "I think this message can be guided. Maybe it will have any unexpected effect on our current dilemma. The so-called stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade."

"It's just a big banner to make a tiger skin - it's a good idea."

Liu Jingting didn't mind self-deprecating, so everyone was not afraid to complain actively. When it came to the excitement, he simply closed the card and arranged the "Stories of the Queen's Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage". They were all people who did writing. It might be difficult to actually write, and it was still difficult for these young people to fabricate a turbulent story.

At the end of the story, the male protagonist "Liu Jingting" has become the focus of the news. After the scene of chatting and laughing with the queen is projected onto the TV screen, the relevant personnel and their friends were stunned and reviewed the stuck magazine in minutes.

However, after the story ended, everyone had to return to reality. The Queen of England awarded Liu Jingting a merit. But that was just an experience in her work, an inappropriate example, as if you couldn't ask a McDonald's waiter to take responsibility for eating pancakes for you.

"At the same time, if you have the opportunity to attend any event this time, don't refuse it anymore. Just treat it as a magazine."

Xu Qing reminded.

"I see."

"Oh, it's just a talk. As the highest honorary representative of Britain, the Queen's visit to China is naturally a national event. The world is in turmoil. I guess she has no time to come to our magazine office to sit there."

Everyone will not be discouraged by this. After all, this reality is just a story background. Liu Jingting has made other plans. There is no burden or extravagant hope for it.

The new content was submitted for review, and the reply I received was indeed: "The year is approaching. The result may take some time."

Everyone was mentally prepared, and they made some jokes and went home for the New Year.

...

Liu Jingting received the invitation to the state banquet on the second day of the Chinese New Year. He was having lunch at his grandmother's house. Yang Lilu called, but after answering, she heard Yang Guozheng's voice.

"It's late February. The British side submitted a letter of nationality. One is specially listed to invite you to the audience. I'll tell you in advance so that you won't be prepared. The formal invitation letter will probably be sent to your Jianghai magazine office later."

"Thank you, Uncle Yang, I will be ready."

"No need to thank me," Yang Guozheng paused and said, "It's Lulu."

"Well. When I go back to the Chinese New Year, I will thank her in person again."

"When I say this, I'll ask more. She doesn't want to go to work now and says she has a job with you. What's going on?"

"Oh, this is such an uncle. When I was in college, I founded a small company called Yingri Culture, and then I ran a magazine called "Jinglu". At that time, I specially invited half of it... Yang Lilu came to be responsible for the external copyright. Now more than 90% of my English version of works are translated by her."

"I know what you are doing, just confirm that, and young people know that starting a business is a good thing, but remember to abide by the law, pay taxes in a timely manner, and in accordance with the law."

“This is certain.”

"That's OK, have you eaten?"

"Have lunch at my grandma's house."

"Oh, then go quickly, just be sure what I told you."

"Okay, you'll go have a meal, and wish you and your aunt a happy new year."

Liu Jingting returned to the dining table and his mother asked, "Whose phone number?"

My aunt smiled and said, "It must be my girlfriend..."

"It's her dad."

When Liu's father heard that the other father took action, he immediately continued: "Is there anything wrong?"

Liu Jingting blurted out: "He notified me to go to Yanjing to attend a banquet at the end of February."

"Do you want me to go with your mother?" Liu's father naturally thought of the meeting of his parents.

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "No need this time."

An uncle asked: "What kind of work does your future father-in-law do?"

"Diplomatician." Liu Jingting answered without wanting to explain too much.

The table of relatives was shocked by Liu Jingting's answer. Everyone knew that he was a famous writer, but they didn't know that he had such a relationship. In addition to being surprised, he couldn't help but secretly glad that if he had such a relationship, would he not rely on things in the future?

It was the first time that Liu’s father and mother Liu heard this news. After being as surprised as everyone else, the rest was pride. During festivals, relatives gathered together, even if they were brothers and sisters, they would occasionally compete in their hearts and compete with their children to compete with each other.

Although Liu Jingting has remained ahead of the world since entering Wanxiang, occasionally adding some new amazing achievements will still make parents happy and proud, because in the end, they are still good at teaching their children.

After staying at home for a week, he returned to Jianghai on the fifth day of the day. Other colleagues had sent text messages saying that the sixth day of the day would be here. Instead, Yang Lilu, who was away from the formal establishment, rushed over on the evening of the fifth day of the day.

"I'll report on my work."

Yang Lilu stood in front of Liu Jingting, raised her head and said seriously: "I haven't been fired yet, are you?"

Liu Jingting said: "It's still in the probation period, continue to work hard."

As they spoke, the two walked along the street side by side. Under the cold winter night, the dim street lights and colorful billboards intertwined with warm colors.
