Chapter 570 You have to prove your ability to me
After Chief Editor Zhang reacted, he rubbed his eyes, and then he could clearly see that the person in front of him was Jiang Wan.
"Jiang, Jiang Wan? Why are you here?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang stood up and smiled awkwardly. He was completely confused.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang was able to recognize me, so it seems he wasn't drunk."
Jiang Wan smiled slightly and walked in from outside.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang was sitting at his desk drinking. Jiang Wan simply pulled up a stool and sat opposite him.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, I came here to ask you, didn't you think my manuscript was very good? Why hasn't it been published yet? And I haven't seen the royalties paid to me yet?"
Jiang Wan asked the question even though he knew the answer. Editor-in-Chief Zhang was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.
"me……"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang stammered a few words "I" and then immediately gave it his all.
"Your manuscript has been replaced by someone else. I tried my best but failed to resolve the issue. I am too embarrassed to see you now."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang first explained it in a frustrated manner, then seemed to remember something and asked immediately.
"Logically, you shouldn't know my home address. Now that you can find it, you should have looked for Xiaomei in advance, right?"
"Xiao Mei has a hot temper and cannot tolerate any grievance, even if it is someone else's grievance."
"If you go find her, she will definitely be unable to resist telling you the truth, so you must have known the reason for the incident by now."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang said this with certainty, but it was just a normal analysis and he didn't mean to blame her at all.
"Your manuscript has indeed been pushed down by someone with connections. I have discussed this with the higher-ups several times but have not been able to resolve it."
"You've seen the conditions of my family. In fact, I don't need to work at all."
"I go to work just to experience life and do what I want to do."
"I never thought that I, as just an editor, would see so many dark things."
"If some things hadn't happened to me, I might not have reacted as strongly as I do now."
"Now even if it's a manuscript I like, my boss will change it if he says so. This is really a huge blow to me."
“I started to doubt my job and I was tired of doing it.”
"I don't know if I can cheer up and go to work again."
"I can only say that if I go, unless the boss admits his mistake to me and removes that person's manuscript and replaces it with yours, I may not go to work in the future."
Editor-in-Chief Zhang expressed his true thoughts, and he felt very discouraged when he said these words.
He originally liked being an editor, but now because of this incident, he has begun to doubt his favorite career.
Jiang Wan listened carefully to what Chief Editor Zhang said. After listening to him, she hesitated for a moment before speaking seriously.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, you have the ability, why don't you start your own magazine?"
"Magazines are so popular now. As long as you can receive good works, with your ability and connections, are you still worried that the magazine will not be popular?"
"Now is the right time. If we don't work hard now, when will we have to wait?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang had thought about what Jiang Wan said.
But in the past, whenever he had any idea or any sign of it, people around him would try their best to dissuade him, hoping that he would give up the idea.
Everyone said that his current job was good and there was no need to bother.
Some people also say that starting a business is risky and that you may end up losing everything, so it’s better to stay and do your current job well.
As soon as Chief Editor Zhang's ideas had a chance to emerge, they were crushed to pieces.
Now Jiang Wan suddenly came over and told him to start his own business, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang's heart skipped a beat.
He had some thoughts in his mind, but he pretended to be calm.
"It's too risky to start my own magazine. Although my family has some money, we don't want to spend it on this."
"My family said that if I wanted to start a business, they would not give me a penny and told me to figure it out on my own."
"So, although I have thought about opening a magazine, it is still difficult to realize it with my own ability."
“Although I want to be the boss, I hope to have a capable partner by my side.”
"It would be best if this partner could provide me with manuscripts and give me advice."
"I have been investigating for many years, but I haven't met the right person yet, so I have to give up this idea for the time being."
Jiang Wan is an author admired by Editor-in-Chief Zhang, so he has the patience to talk to her so much.
This matter involves Jiang Wan himself, so Editor-in-Chief Zhang kept talking about it.
If it were someone else, he might not have said this in the first place.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, what do you think of me?"
Jiang Wan suddenly asked, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang was stunned when he heard this.
"You? What do you mean by that? Do you want to start a magazine with me?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang didn't react at first, but after he reacted, he immediately thought about the problem seriously.
Jiang Wan has strong writing skills and still has room for improvement. He is indeed a rare talent in writing.
In order to publish this article, Editor-in-Chief Zhang also paid attention to various articles written by Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan writes about a wide range of topics with deep meaning, and each of his articles receives very good responses.
If the two of them work together, he will first have tied up with a high-quality author.
In addition to the resources he has accumulated over the years and the excellent authors he has deliberately cultivated, he can poach them at any time if he needs them.
There is no doubt that there is no problem with Jiang Wan's writing ability, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang is also very satisfied with this aspect.
The only difficulty he thought of now was that he was looking for a partner who had the ability to start a company and could give him opinions and suggestions at work.
He and Jiang Wan have not known each other for long, so he doesn't know if Jiang Wan has this ability?
"Jiang Wan, what I'm looking for is a high-quality partner, not an author with strong writing skills."
"Unless you can prove to me that you have the management ability to start a magazine with me."
“Otherwise, if I’m relied on for advice in the future, and I have no one to discuss any problems with, I think there’s a good chance I won’t be able to carry on.”
Editor-in-Chief Zhang spoke the truth. He had no intention of deliberately making things difficult for the authors he admired, and he was just speaking the truth.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, I understand your thoughts. Let's have a good chat about the magazine."
"I will prove to you that choosing to cooperate with me is the right choice."
“I not only have writing skills, but also management skills!”
