Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 207: A Smile to Forget All Grudges
Jingwenxue.com mainly features novels written by women, including some by male authors.

For example, Cheng Xi.

I wrote the female-oriented novel "My Love from the Star" first, and then "The Beginning".

They are also very popular.

It’s just that male readers rarely come to read books.

In addition to the fact that there are few male-oriented novels, there is another important reason.

Jing's UI is a mess.

Even after more than ten years, when you click on it, it feels like you’ve returned to the Stone Age.

When you enter the web page, it is only reduced to one-third of the interface.

Reading novels, searching novels, rankings, etc. can be confusing for people who have just entered the site.

Can't find it, can't find it at all.

Not to mention there are many anti-human designs.

You find a book, but there isn't even a start-reading button. If you want to read, you have to think for a long time before you can open it.

The mobile APP is also the latest novel website to be released.

This is something that can discourage people from using it, but it is also the best and largest Chinese website for women.

It's outrageous!

If it hadn't started early, and there were indeed many excellent novels in it, readers would have had to endure it with a pinch of their noses and would have been eliminated long ago.

It can be seen that content is indeed king in this field.

But now these copyrights, the future gold mines, all belong to Cheng Xi.

Since he has bought it, Cheng Xi must make some improvements.

He couldn't stand this big lump.

At that time, the new UI interface and mobile APP will be launched simultaneously, so that readers who read female-oriented novels can also have something good to offer.

The direction of rectification is also very simple, UI design and APP directly move Singularity, etc., let’s combine them together.

Learn from others and then modify it slightly.

If you retain some of the original characteristics, it will become your own.

Anyway, everyone carries things for each other.

Don't tell anyone.

Zuibai Entertainment Conference Room.

The 2012th office meeting in June 6.

Managers of all departments and above attended the meeting, and Assistant to the Chairman Deng Jie was in attendance.

"Wentao, have you contacted the former editor-in-chief of Jingwenxue City?"

"Huo Qingmei accepted the invitation, but Liu Na declined."

Jingwenxue.com was previously run by its two founders, Huang Mingyan and Liu Xudong.

Editor-in-Chief Huo Qingmei and Liu Na were both promoted by Liu Xudong, but were eventually defeated by Huang Mingyan.

Therefore, the opinions between Huang and Liu eventually became so divergent that they were irreconcilable.

"So, Huo Qingmei will continue to serve as editor-in-chief, mainly responsible for the content of Wenxue City."

"Min Liang, the original department manager, has been transferred to the position of deputy editor-in-chief to assist Huo Qingmei."

Min Liang is the editor Min who previously worked with Cheng Xi to write "Diaosi Men", and he and Cheng Xi were signed as co-screenwriters.

Now he is considered a veteran of Zuibai Entertainment.

I am also familiar with writing work, so I can learn from Huo Qingmei of Jingwenxue.com.

If Huo Qingmei is useful, keep her; if not, Min Liang will be your backup.

When Min Liang heard what his boss said, he immediately made a brief statement.

Because Li Wentao had already discussed this with him beforehand, he was prepared.

After Min Liang finished expressing his opinion, Cheng Xi encouraged him:
"You've just arrived, so you need to learn more about your major and talk less. Cooperate with the editor-in-chief, okay?"

"Okay, Chairman, I will learn more humbly according to your requirements."

Cheng Xi nodded and continued to arrange personnel work:

"Wentao, you will be the general manager of Wenxue City. Zhao Qiang, the company's human resources manager, will be transferred to the position of deputy general manager, responsible for daily administrative work."

When Zhao Qiang heard this, his face turned red, even though he had been mentally prepared for this.

But when the appointment was really spoken from Cheng Xi's mouth, excitement in his heart was inevitable.

Because Jingwenxue City was acquired in the name of Zuibai Entertainment Co., Ltd., it is considered a subsidiary.

Li Wentao is the nominal general manager, and Zhao Qiang is the deputy general manager, which is more than just a promotion compared to Min Liang.

He also became the de facto leader of the literary network and a high-ranking official.

The head of a subsidiary with a valuation of 4 million.

So he immediately stated:

"Thank you, Chairman, for your trust. Thank you, Mr. Li and the company, for your cultivation of me."

"I will definitely forge ahead, live up to expectations, do a good job in all aspects of Wenxue City, and serve the company's development and my boss wholeheartedly!"

When Cheng Xi heard that the statement was for the development of the company and to serve the boss, he nodded, finally finding his place.

It depends on how you do.

Li Wentao recommended 3-4 managers, and Cheng Xi finally selected the candidate.

Cheng Xi has always attached great importance to personnel and publicity work, one focusing on people and the other on ideology.

It is also about learning from leaders the essence of managing people.

If you grasp both of them, it's like holding the bull by the nose.

So Zhao Qiang is considered a middle-level cadre who appears more frequently on Cheng Xi's side, and is also in charge of personnel.

When I went to a new company, human resources work was of course the top priority.

So Cheng Xiqin appointed him.

No wonder it is said that personnel cadres are easy to promote and the Organization Department is evergreen within the system.

Managers from other departments were envious and jealous when they saw both of them being promoted.

Smart people also saw that the company's development was booming.

I can't help but feel full of energy.

After all, Zuibai Studio has only been around for two years, and Zuibai Entertainment has only been around for a year, yet they have developed so rapidly.

As long as you work hard and the company continues to expand, it will definitely be a time to hire people.

Your own future is indispensable.

"The two vacant manager positions will be taken over by the deputy managers first, on a six-month probationary basis."

"Good boss."

The first and most important personnel agenda was thus passed.

In fact, the decision has already been made. The meeting was just a notification. In the company, Cheng Xi's word is final.

"After the meeting, notify the relevant personnel to depart at 8: AM tomorrow. Together, we will go to the Chaoyang District headquarters to formally take over Jingwenxue City and announce the new personnel appointments."

"In addition, the company has established an IT department, which is mainly responsible for the development of the company website, the new Wenxue City website, and the Wenxue City app."

"We've sent headhunters to sites like Qidian to recruit experienced people with relevant experience, so we can quickly build a capable team."

"We will strive to complete the website optimization and launch the Android app 8 by August 1st, the tenth anniversary of Wenxue City."

Li Wentao nodded frequently upon hearing this and recorded all of Cheng Xi's requirements in the meeting book.

After the meeting, Cheng Xi specifically called Li Wentao to his office and gave him some instructions.

"Now that the company is growing, you have more and more things to look after. You have to keep an eye on the new IT department, because the future is all about the internet."

"I will, boss."

"Also, Gao Chunyang's work arrangements have been moved from the studio to Zuibai Entertainment's IT department. Please complete the formalities as soon as possible."

"If he has a good classmate who recommends him, you can also consider it."

My childhood friend Gao Chunyang was originally studying computer science at Yenching Normal University, and this department has been established.

It would be good to let him learn and gain some experience, so that he won't have to work part-time in the studio.

His classmates are all top students from 985 universities, so there is no problem in cultivating reserve forces for the company.

This was a personal matter, so he handed it over to Li Wentao after the meeting. Li Wentao knew the relationship between Gao Chunyang and Cheng Xi. Before he came, Gao Chunyang was the second employee of Zuibai Studio.

The elder among the elders.

He had already started thinking about how to promote Gao Chunyang.

Of course Cheng Xi didn't know what Li Wentao was thinking.

Cheng Xi felt that he and Gao Chunyang were as close as brothers in their previous life, and it always felt a bit awkward to work in the same company with one being superior and the other being inferior.

His idea was to wait until his childhood friend had enough technical and management experience, and then support him in starting his own business.

After all, the Internet still has great potential.

Early the next morning.

Cheng Xi brought the company's team and Huo Qingmei to the headquarters of Jingwen Literature City in Chaoyang District.

Who would have thought that apart from the green logo downstairs it looks like an internet company.

The office space inside actually looks like an old-fashioned editorial office.

There are only fairies in there.

There were a few men there, probably in their forties or fifties.

No wonder.
Even if you can’t do UI design well, you can understand it even if you can’t write code.

With their barely-there financial resources, they probably can't afford a dedicated UI department.

The design must have been outsourced to an amateur in online literature, which is why such inhumane website interaction came about.

Seeing that the number of users is increasing instead of leaving, they will definitely be too lazy to maintain the interface.

At this time, Huang Mingyan had already been waiting for her and her group, and was standing guard for the last time as agreed upon when negotiating the contract.

But when she saw Huo Qingmei standing not far behind Cheng Xi, her face turned ugly.

Huo Qingmei is supported by fellow founder Liu Xudong, and the two can be said to be fighting fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Xi invited her back.

But now, it doesn't make any sense anymore.

The company is no longer yours.

And when the fairies in Wenxue City saw that the familiar yet unfamiliar teacher Zuibai really acquired Jing.

I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

The reason I say I am familiar with him is, of course, because Zuibai is a contracted author of Jingwang.

It can be said that he took off from here, and the pen name Zuibai was first used on Jingwang.

When I say I'm unfamiliar with him, I really have only seen him in real life in TV interviews and Weibo news.

Now the real person is here, he looks really young and full of energy.

There was a large group of people following behind him, which made him look like a big boss even when he walked.

Jing's time was indeed turbulent, starting with the battle between the founder and the editor-in-chief.

Then there was a heated debate among the founders.

Unexpectedly, the last two founders both belonged to Teacher Zuibai.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Xi held a meeting for everyone at the Jingwenxue City headquarters in the lobby.

They don't have a conference room that big.

The fairies breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that everyone's salary and jobs would be retained.

Everyone was also surprised when they heard that they needed to re-optimize the UI and develop a reading app.

These two points are Jingwang's weaknesses, and everyone knows them.

Basically, there are readers’ feedback and complaints every day, but no changes are made.

I didn’t expect that Teacher Zuibai could identify the pain points as soon as he arrived and solve them immediately.

This administrative speed is many times faster than that of the previous manager.

When Cheng Xi introduced the new personnel arrangements, he mentioned that Huo Qingmei would be appointed editor-in-chief again.

Everyone's eyes turned to Huang Mingyan and Huo Qingmei.

Everyone in Jingwen Literature City knew about the grievances between the two, but unexpectedly, Qingmei won in the end.

The fairies who had stood on the wrong side before are now feeling a little uncomfortable.

"I'll just briefly say this for now. Actually, I've been colleagues with you all for a long time, so there's a sense of familiarity."

"Today I just have one more identity. By the way, who is my editor Qinghu?"

When everyone heard that the new boss went to find Qinghu as soon as he arrived, they couldn't help but feel envious.

I guess the Green Fox is about to take off.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xi saw a short and thin girl with a clever look in her eyes stand up.

"Boss Zuibai, I'm Qinghu."

Cheng Xi smiled at this time and comforted:
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Qinghu. It's like this. I'm planning to open a men's group in Wenxue City."

"You have experience. I'm going to make you the editor-in-chief of this group. What do you think?"

Now everyone looked at the green fox with even more envy.

The green fox was a little stunned, pointing at his nose and hesitantly said:

"me?"

When Cheng Xi saw the stupid look of the green fox, he couldn't help but think of an emoticon package from later generations.

But he still said with certainty:

"Yes, it's you."

Qinghu really didn't expect that the high school student who had just graduated at that time was a new author under his control.

The person called Qinghu Dadada on QQ has become so famous in just two years.

Now he has even acquired Jingwen Literature City and become his own boss.

She still remembered that he asked her about putting his work on the shelves, and asked her how much royalties he could get in a crying and poor manner.

The young and drunk man said he bought oranges for himself, and when asked for recommendations, he said, "Surprise! Aliens actually do that with humans on Earth."

But there was no change in myself, except that I got a little more bonus because I brought out Zuibai.

There was no further improvement in my career and I was still just a small editor.

I never thought that I could become the editor-in-chief of a new group!
I have thought many times about the day when I could become the editor-in-chief, but I never imagined it would be so dramatic.

At this time, Huo Qingmei said:
"Qinghu, I've always felt that you have this ability. The boss is asking you a question, please agree to it."

At this time, Qinghu woke up from his memories and said:
"Okay, I agree. I dream of being the editor-in-chief."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed with goodwill and envy.

Of course Cheng Xi also laughed. How could this kid accidentally say what was really in his heart?
"Then Editor-in-Chief Qinghu, I should be considered your number one author now."

"I should be publishing a book soon. I hope the editor-in-chief can give me some recommendations."

When Qinghu heard this, his face turned red again.

The acceptance of Jingwang is progressing in an orderly manner.

Cheng Xi and Li Wentao left first.

They are here to influence Huo Qingmei and Zhao Qiang to start their new work.

At this time, Cheng Xi said to Huang Mingyan:
"Mr. Huang, shall we go down together?"

"Well, Director Cheng, wait for me for a moment."

Huang Mingyan came to the side of Huo Qingmei who was busy at this time.

He took the initiative to shake her hand and said:
"Qingmei, it's good that you're here. You're most familiar with the website, and I feel relieved to leave Jing to you."

"I was in a position to benefit you, and I apologize to you for many things I have done wrong."

"Let's put aside our past grudges. I'm leaving China tomorrow and probably won't be coming back."

Huo Qingmei's eyes flickered at this moment, and she exerted a little force on her hands and said:
"Mr. Huang, thank you. I wish you a safe journey."

Then, the two of them laughed and put aside their grudges.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi also smiled not far away.

Maybe, this is life.

You never know when the best arrangement will come.
