Chapter 105 Era: Rough Leader Coaxes 18 Every Night

The jeep passed by Xia Xizhi in a second. Xia Xizhi glanced at the back of the jeep from the side of the road, thought for a moment, crossed the road and headed straight for Guangming Magazine.

There were so many people like her in the world that she didn't think much about it.

As soon as you enter Guangming Magazine, you can clearly see the atmosphere of decadence and lethargy in the entire office.

Because there were no sales, all the hard work might have been in vain. Everyone in the office was in a state of disarray, and even when Xia Xizhi came in, no one greeted him.

It turns out that the magazine is facing rectification and dissolution...

"Hello, where is your director's office?"

Xia Xizhi walked over to the staff who were knitting sweaters, twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked.

"Ah? Oh, over there." The curly-haired woman pointed behind her and continued to knit.

Following the direction the woman pointed, Xia Xizhi went straight to the office.

After knocking on the door, a deep male voice came from inside, "Come in."

Xia Xizhi pushed the door open and entered. What caught his eye was a tall, simply dressed, well-proportioned man sorting documents on the bookshelf.

Seeing Xia Xizhi coming in, he was stunned for a moment, put down the documents in his hand, limped over, and asked in confusion, "Hello, who are you?"

Xia Xizhi knew about Guangming Magazine. The director of this magazine was a veteran named Gao Ping, who had his leg blown off while on a mission.

He was very educated and capable, so after the bombing, he was sent to Yingcheng to be the director of a magazine.

However, the magazine was unable to make ends meet due to various reasons and faced bankruptcy.

"I'm here to submit my work. This is my work," Xia Xizhi said directly.

Hand over the manuscript to Gaoping.

Gao Ping was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and flipped through the book, frowning slightly.

He said politely, "The novel serialized in Lianzhong Evening News seems a bit similar to yours..."

"This is the novel published by Lianzhong Evening News, but I have just terminated the contract. Here is the termination letter."

Xia Xizhi handed the contract and termination documents to him.

Gao Ping paused, puzzled, his eyes more inquiring. "Your novel should have received good reviews, so why did you suddenly terminate the contract?"

"The reasons can't be explained in a few words, but it's not a problem with my work. Just look at my work. If you think it's good, we can discuss cooperation. If you think it's not, we won't cooperate."

Gao Ping was a little hesitant.

This novel has proven its market value and is indeed very good, but Lianzhong Evening News' termination of the contract may have some unknown hidden dangers, which makes him a little hesitant.

Xia Xizhi saw his hesitation and said,

"If Guangming Magazine doesn't make money anymore, it will face restructuring or even disbandment, right?

By then, more than 20 people in the entire magazine may face unemployment. You have read my novel, and it will definitely boost the sales of our magazine.

Well, you can think about it for a few days.

But whether I will still cooperate with you at that time, that remains to be seen."

Xia Xizhi pretended to take the manuscript back, but Gao Ping steeled himself and said with a determined look, "Don't think about it, I'll cooperate!"

Then, he suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Ahem, how much salary do you want...? The current situation of the magazine is indeed a bit..."

Xia Xizhi smiled immediately.

"I told you, I'm here to discuss cooperation. My novel is in collaboration with your magazine, so you don't need to mention the salary for now."

Gao Ping was surprised, then suddenly delighted. "Cooperation? If you're willing to cooperate, once the magazine's sales increase, I can apply for the highest salary for you. What do you think?"

Xia Xizhi shook his head, "I don't want a salary."

Gao Ping was puzzled, "Then what do you want?"

"The position of magazine director."

Gao Ping: ? ?

What does she want??

Xia Xizhi did this because after the reform in two years, this magazine company would definitely be converted from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise, and she could directly pocket it...

Gao Ping's eyelids twitched in disbelief. "What do you want?"

"I want the position of director. If you give it to me, I can sign a contract with Guangming Magazine for my novel. I guarantee that Guangming Magazine will not only be able to support its current employees, but also create several times, or even dozens of times, more value!"

After Xia Xizhi had made a big promise, he noticed Gao Ping's distrustful look, put away the manuscript in his hand, and coughed lightly.

"It seems that you still don't trust me. How about this, I'll give you some time to think about it, and I'll think about it too..."

Xia Xizhi turned around and pretended to leave, but Gao Ping pursed his lips and stepped forward to stop him.

"Don't think about it, it's settled. I'll file a report explaining the situation, and once it's handled, I'll pack up and leave."

A notice has been issued from above that if the magazine fails to make money within two months, it will be disbanded and all of the more than 23 employees in the magazine will be unemployed.

He can sacrifice himself for so many people.

He had never thought about the several times or even dozens of times the profit. If she could bring so much profit to the magazine, the position of director could indeed be given to her... But if he left the magazine, he had no skills and his leg was lame, so it might be difficult for him to find a job.

Xia Xizhi chuckled and explained to him that she was only the director and could give him the position of deputy director and continue to be in charge of the magazine's affairs, but she was not going to replace him.

As a veteran, he is decisive and dedicated.

She felt much more at ease using such people in the future.

Gao Ping was surprised, then happy, but then he felt a little at a loss, "Ahem, are you sure?"

Xia Xizhi smiled and nodded, "Sure, my purpose is not here, you just need to do your job well."

Gao Ping nodded excitedly and quickly signed the contract with Xia Xizhi.

.......

In the alley of Yingcheng North Street, Ye Yun walked out of a small courtyard with a very bad look on his face.

Finally, they found Zhao Xiangzhi, the obstetrician and gynecologist who delivered the baby that year, and he hurried over.

We thought there would be some progress, but Zhao Xiangzhi was old and had suffered brain damage, so she had no memory of what happened back then.

After leaving the yard, Ye Yun lit a cigarette and remained silent.

Wang Quan asked tentatively, "Master, what should we do next? Where should we go now?"

"Mother's illness can't be delayed any longer. Let Zhongzi find someone who looks similar to her and trick her. Let's drive to the outskirts of Beijing to meet a friend." Ye Yun sighed and opened the car door.

"Let's go."

"Yes." Wang Quan nodded and sat in the driver's seat.

.......

As soon as Xia Xizhi finished her business and returned home, Xia Jie suddenly came out from next door and walked to her side.

"Is there something wrong?" Xia Xizhi frowned slightly.

Xia Jie warned, "You'd better behave yourself. Since you've married Lu Xiao, live a good life with him. Don't think about changing your mind. Those male educated youth who went to the countryside may not be as good as you think. They might be scamming you."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Xizhi interrupted him directly.

"Stop, stop, stop. Which eye of yours saw me changing my mind so quickly?"

"Also, I remember you said that you only recognized Meng Lingling as your sister. So, in what capacity are you educating me now?"

Xia Xizhi gave him an impatient look, went straight into the yard, closed the door, and didn't even look back.

Xia Jie paused, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing. After standing for a moment, he turned and left.

His mind is in a mess.

This afternoon, he saw the female educated youth who went to the countryside secretly discussing with a male educated youth on the tree-lined path. They seemed to be talking about hooking up with Xia Xizhi. It was obvious that the two of them had bad intentions.

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but suddenly his mind flashed back to the day when Lu Xiao held Xia Xizhi above his head. In the midday sun, Xia Xizhi's smile was particularly bright.

It's so beautiful, probably they don't want her to go astray and wither.

So when he saw Xia Xizhi coming back, he followed him for no apparent reason...

But when he thought about how vicious she was, he didn't want to talk to her nicely.

Xia Jie's mind was in a mess. He didn't know what he was thinking or why he came to remind Xia Xizhi.
