Chapter 85: resignation

  Wang Wenhong stayed up all night.

   After learning the sales of the two comics, Chen Zijiao's anger broke out completely.

   Facing such Chen Zijiao, Wang Wenhong felt tired from the bottom of his heart.

   At the time of parting, Wang Wenhong told Chen Zijiao, "Since I accepted the challenge at the beginning, I should be mentally prepared to lose to Shen Xin."

   "Nonsense, didn't you let me compete with him?" Chen Zijiao stiffened his neck and said.

   "Yes, because I can see that this is the only chance you can get the newcomer award." Wang Wenhong said patiently.

   "Go to the tmd newcomer award, now there is nothing! I became like this, dare you say you are not responsible?" Chen Zijiao said sharply.

  Wang Wenhong opened his mouth slightly and looked at Chen Zijiao in amazement. After about ten seconds, he nodded, "Yes, this is my responsibility. After all, I didn't play a good card. I'm sorry."

  Wang Wenhong bowed solemnly to Chen Zijiao.

   "Take care."

   "Fuck...Tmd to leave me! I will never post the Weibo that made me surrender, and I will never die!" Chen Zijiao smashed the G pen in his hand on Wang Wenhong's body.

  Wang Wenhong frowned, glanced at Chen Zijiao dissatisfiedly, did not speak, turned and left.

   After returning home, Wang Wenhong sat in a chair, not feeling sleepy, reflecting on his journey over the past six months.

   "Crumbling" is in his hands, step by step from the hot signature comics to this way, he has an inescapable responsibility, but he must figure out the reason for it.

   As dawn approached, Wang Wenhong took out his notebook and wrote his thoughts on the word one by one.

   This is the first time that Wang Wenhong is late for work. As soon as he entered the editorial department, he could clearly feel that everyone was looking at him.

   "That... Xiao Wang, President Luo is looking for you." The editor-in-chief coughed lightly, lowered his head, and did not look at Wang Wenhong.

"Got it."

  Wang Wenhong took out the documents printed in the morning from the document bag, turned around and left the editorial department.

   The moment he walked out of the editorial department, the editorial department immediately heard a deep discussion.

   Although Wang Wenhong couldn't hear exactly what they were talking about, he could guess that the content of the conversation was related to him and Chen Zijiao.

   When he arrived at the president's office, Wang Wenhong had just knocked on the door twice, and the voice of "please come in" came from the office.

   He pushed open the door, and a young man sitting behind his desk raised his head.

   "Sit down." The young man pointed to the opposite chair, "It's okay to ask you to come over. It's a shame to lose the matchup with "Y’s", but this is not the end of the world. There will be opportunities in the future."

  Wang Wenhong nodded, but did not sit down, "President, this incident was caused by my fault, and I am willing to take all responsibility."

   "There is no person who does not make mistakes. After all, I am also responsible. I was too impatient and gave you Chen Zijiao. If you ask the old editor to help, it might be much better."

   "Sorry, I let you down."

"Well, "Toggle" is about to end in one month. During this period of time, you should not be responsible for this comic. Just like this, you and Teacher Chen will be embarrassed when you meet. It would be better to separate the two of you. After a while, we will prepare for the next comic."

"President, I returned home from Teacher Chen, and I thought a lot and deeply realized my shortcomings in many aspects. So, I summarized the gains and losses since I became the editor in charge of "Shaken", including the changes in my mentality. And some fatal mistakes. In short, these are all written in the file. If you think you have time, you can take a look."

   "Yeah. I will." Luo Zhi took the document handed by Wang Wenhong and touched the thickness with his finger. There should be five or six pages, "Is there anything else?"

   "Yes." Wang Wenhong took a deep breath and looked up at Luo Zhi.

"Say."

  Wang Wenhong took out an envelope from the inner pocket of his suit, please put it on the desk, "President, this is my resignation."

   "Resign?" Luo Zhi frowned and looked at Wang Wenhong sharply, "Take it back, I don't accept it."

"I won't take it back." Wang Wenhong shook his head, "Today's situation is not exaggerated to say that I caused it all. Because of my arrogance, I missed Shen Xin, and then I was too conniving to Chen Zijiao. The results of "Toggle" have fallen step by step. Including this duel, I can also be considered as a single-handed contribution. It is estimated that someone in the magazine has said that I am a **** who eats inside and out. You also need to have an explanation to other people, right?"

   "Since you feel responsible, you should prove yourself again!" Luo Zhi knocked on the table twice.

   "President, I have made up my mind, I'm sorry." Wang Wenhong bowed deeply, "If there is nothing wrong with you, I will go back and pack things first."

   Luo Zhi watched Wang Wenhong leave the office, frowning, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table.

  ……

   "The total sales of "Y’s" surpassed that of "Crumbling", and the new book single-volume reached 180,000." Jian Xiaomei took off Ye Hexu's earphones and explained.

   "Huh? You just know it now? I have posted to Weibo to congratulate Teacher Shen." Ye Hexu raised his head and looked at Jian Xiaomei.

   "What? When?" Jian Xiaomei had a headache. What she worries most is that Ye Hexu privately posts Weibo without saying hello to her.

  Who knows what he will write?

   "Three or four in the morning, right?" Ye Hexu said.

   It's three or four in the morning at your house, right?

   Jian Xiaomei rolled his eyes depressed.

"Mr. Shen's painter is really amazing~lightnovelpub.net~ With only two assistants, he can draw two words in a week, which I can’t do. The storyboard is also very good, especially the last issue The color pages are of great quality, and many people have rated them right." Ye Hexu said.

   "Should you not comment too?" Jian Xiaomei immediately became alert.

"No. This is a fair duel, and I won't participate in it." Ye Hexu grinned, "A love comic can sell 180,000 copies in a week. It's really not easy. Teacher Su and Xiao Tiao Tiao’s "Crime" is also not bad, with 300,000 copies sold."

   Seeing Ye Hexu's spirit shimmering, Jian Xiaomei was also relieved. Ye Hexu's work is too casual, and she sometimes doesn't understand his style of work.

"The most recent questionnaire came out. In this issue, the ranking of "Hunting Abyss" finally surpassed "Punishment", which should be related to the protagonist's certification as a hunter. Readers are looking forward to the performance of the protagonist after entering the hunting area. "Jian Xiaomei took the name handed over by Ye Hexu, and summarized the suggestions on the questionnaire in a concise manner.

   "No problem, starting from this issue, I will be firmly seated in third place-by the way, Jian Xiaomei, the booklet of "Hunting Abyss" should have come out, right?"

   "It will be released in the first week after the new year. At that time, the students have the lucky money, which is good for the release of "Hunting Abyss"."

   "The first release of 400,000 copies——"

   "Impossible! The sales department has notified the first 150,000 copies." Jian Xiaomei tapped Ye Hexu's head with her name.

   "150,000 is 150,000, right? But, you will regret it." Ye Hexu put on the headphones again.

  Who are "you"? I am with you!

   Jian Xiao brows her cheeks and forcibly endures the urge to take off Ye Hexu's earphones.
