Chapter 799 You are so despicable

Chapter 799 You are so despicable

Editor-in-Chief Zhang hung up the phone, immediately dropped everything he was doing, bought a ticket and rushed back without stopping.

In order to raise funds, he couldn't eat or sleep every day.

After a few days, the dark circles under his eyes are bigger than before, and he looks exhausted.

Because he was in a hurry to come back, he simply packed his luggage and didn't have time to dress himself up.

However, he didn't expect that when he came back, he would see his old boss, Boss Wu, downstairs.

Boss Wu was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he looked very handsome.

The moment he saw Editor-in-Chief Zhang, Boss Wu couldn't help but call him.

"Eh? Isn't this Editor-in-Chief Zhang who started his own business after we resigned?"

"I heard that your magazine is about to collapse, and now you are looking for investment everywhere?"

"You look so haggard and in such a hurry. I guess you didn't succeed in getting the investment, did you?"

There was sarcasm in Boss Wu's words and contempt in his eyes.

He has been paying close attention to Editor-in-Chief Zhang's every move, waiting for the day when he would suffer a defeat.

He wanted everyone to know that those who left him would not have a good ending.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang's high-profile resignation was a slap in his face.

If he were to become something successful, where would he put his old self-respect?

Boss Wu first stopped Editor-in-Chief Zhang from buying an office building. Later, when he heard that Editor-in-Chief Zhang was going to solicit investment, he resorted to some tricks.

He called the people that Editor-in-Chief Zhang was about to visit in advance and had them all reject him mercilessly.

Of course he knew that Editor-in-Chief Zhang had run into a lot of setbacks outside during this period, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.

He originally thought that things would go badly if Editor-in-Chief Zhang left him, but he didn't expect that the magazine he opened would run smoothly, and the first issue printed tens of thousands of copies.

If he is allowed to continue like this, their magazine will be completely overshadowed.

You have to know that they are an old magazine company with a foundation of more than ten years, and their monthly sales are only hundreds of thousands of copies.

How could Chief Editor Zhang, a newly established magazine with no reputation at all, achieve such horrific sales solely based on its content?

If they are allowed to continue like this, everyone will buy their magazines. Who will buy the magazines printed by their magazine company?

If you want to blame someone, blame Chief Editor Zhang because he used to be his subordinate; if you want to blame someone, blame him for building the office building opposite him.

Isn't his behavior a provocation? How could he let him have his way?

Editor-in-Chief Zhang was sucking away his luck, so how could he not kill him?

As a veteran, Boss Wu naturally knows the importance of starting capital for a newly opened magazine.

Even if the first print run sells well, it will be difficult to get the money back in a short period of time.

This period of time is the most difficult. If there is not sufficient funds, there will be no way to print more even if the sales are good.

In addition, the collection and printing of manuscripts for the second edition will require another considerable amount of funds.

Under the layers of pressure, few people can withstand it.

However, the new magazine opened by Chief Editor Zhang was able to sell 50,000 copies at the very beginning, which in itself is a symbol of strength.

As long as he can get through these few months and get through the most difficult period, and if their magazine continues to maintain high standards for accepting manuscripts, their future will be limitless.

In order to increase their workload, Boss Wu also contacted some previous authors and asked them to submit all their rejected manuscripts to Editor-in-Chief Zhang's magazine.

In this way, although it seems that there are a lot of manuscripts on the surface, they are actually all rubbish.

Boss Wu had heard that they were short-staffed, so this would definitely increase their workload.

With these two measures in place, Chief Editor Zhang’s magazine will soon be unable to bear it.

Boss Wu's original idea was to do these things secretly behind the scenes.

But seeing Editor-in-Chief Zhang looking so haggard, he couldn't help but call him.

He admitted that he just wanted to show his presence in front of him, so that he would appear more wise and powerful.

He just wanted everyone to know that nothing good would happen if Editor-in-Chief Zhang left him.

Even after his magazine became the editor-in-chief Zhang, he had to do everything by himself because he didn't have such a capable person, which was really stressful for him.

What's even more painful is that because there is no high standard of review like Editor-in-Chief Zhang, many manuscripts from people they are familiar with have been added to the recent manuscripts, which has greatly affected the reputation of their magazine.

When Editor-in-Chief Zhang was there, all 18 copies printed each month were sold out.

After Editor-in-Chief Zhang left, only 14 copies were printed and they were not sold out.

On the surface, the sales volume seems to be over 18, but when it reached 20, it was about to hit .

It’s 14 now, and if it drops further, soon all 10 will be gone.

If it falls below 10, their magazine will go from a mid-rate magazine to a bottom-rate magazine.

This is a result that Boss Wu does not want to see. He urgently wants to make a change, but due to his limited ability, he is powerless in many things.

Now he takes the initiative to provoke Editor-in-Chief Zhang and keeps making moves behind his back, actually just wanting to force him to come back.

He was too embarrassed to bring it up, so he had to resort to other means.

Now he was looking down at Editor-in-Chief Zhang, and only he knew in his heart that he had already been extremely anxious.

He now regrets treating Editor-in-Chief Zhang in the same way.

If he hadn't insisted on stuffing his manuscript into the typeset page and squeezing out other people's manuscripts, things wouldn't have ended up like this.

Now he was stuck in mid-air, unable to move up or down. The only chance for him to turn the tide was to call Editor-in-Chief Zhang back.

If they can't force him to come back, their magazine will only go downhill.

Although he is the boss, he also has some of the boss's authority.

But compared to money, that little bit of prestige is nothing.

He couldn't wait to use some means to force Editor-in-Chief Zhang to go back.

Now that we finally see him coming back, how could he give up before he achieves his goal?

"What does this have to do with you? And how did you know that I was looking for investment?"

"I went to solicit investment this time, and the deal almost went through several times but ended up falling through. Could it be you who did that?"

Editor-in-Chief Zhang is a smart man. He guessed Boss Wu's dirty thoughts based on just a few words from him.

He didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, and he couldn't help but be angry after knowing the truth.

He has met with several people to discuss investment matters in the past few days. Everything was agreed at first, but then the other party received a phone call and said it was no longer possible.

He was puzzled at first and thought he had said something wrong.

Now after hearing what Boss Wu said, is there anything else he doesn't understand?

Boss Wu didn't say anything, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang just pointed at his nose and spat.

"Wu Hongcai, you are so despicable!"

"I really regret having worked under you for so many years. Not only was it a waste of time, it even made me feel sick!"
