those things in the editorial department

Chen Jiayao finished reading the last line, turned it over and covered the reviewed part, grabbed the whole stack of manuscripts and knocked them neatly on the table, then folded them in a cross direction on another stack of manuscripts, took a long breath, looked at the manuscripts still on the left The three who were waiting were stunned for a moment.

They have been working overtime for two consecutive months, and they are exhausted physically and mentally by now.

"Let's go." Du Junshan called her.

Chen Jiayao came to her senses and began to pack her things.

get off work.

They fixed it until 08:30, and since she only had a few pages left, she simply finished it and left.Du Junshan didn't know what he was dawdling about, and he dragged it until this time.Now there are only two of them left in the whole society.

After locking the door and coming out, the heat in the air had already dropped.It's been a long time since I've been off work and it's still daytime - oh, except last week when a group of people went to a barbecue.Eating barbecue in summer is also drunk.However, sometimes the accumulated pressure should be vented, and the editors have to complain about the manuscript from time to time.It's just that there is a big difference between teaching supplementary books and ordinary books, and I can't make complaints about it.

Du Junshan walked side by side with her, saw her in a daze, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Chen Jiayao looked like she was still sleepwalking, but she answered unambiguously: "How far is the day when I want to be free."

Du Junshan smiled, "There is still more than a week before temporary liberation, and there are still decades before permanent liberation."

"People don't tear themselves apart, brother." Chen Jiayao covered her face.

Du Junshan straightened his face, "1. Correct understanding of pressure, 2. Learn to mediate emotions, 3. Overcome setbacks, 4. Discover potential, 5. Life needs mutual love."

Chen Jiayao yelped in pain, and squinted at him, "Have you been brainwashed by the Sipin manuscript, don't infect me." She backed away in disgust as she spoke.

Du Junshan laughed again, "The Sipin textbooks are full of golden rules, and I'm here to pass on positive energy to you."

Chen Jiayao covered her ears and shook her head, "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen."

Du Junshan shook his head with a smile again, "July is almost over, will the holiday be far behind?"

The two of them walked to the bus stop while talking, just as the car Du Junshan was going to take came, Chen Jiayao saw that he was not moving, and reminded him: "Your car is here, get on it quickly."

Du Junshan still didn't move, "No rush, ladies first, we'll talk about it after you get in the car."

Chen Jiayao didn't argue with him, she paused, and told him about the listing. "What do you think about the cancellation of the catalog that Sister Chun said last week?"

Yuan Fang, how do you see?

Du Junshan thought for a while, and then slowly said: "The catalog of teaching aids originally meant local industrial protection. Canceling the catalog and high-quality teaching aids from outside the province will naturally hit the original companies in the province. The competition will be more intense. But for companies that are not on the catalog, it is also an opportunity to seize the market share that was originally on the catalog, and because they are more familiar with the provincial market, they can take more targeted measures.” He said Put your hands in your pockets, shift your weight to one foot, and relax your posture, "So this policy mainly hits products that were originally on the catalog, such as our own set."

Chen Jiayao looked at him, "Aren't you worried?"

Du Junshan raised his hands, raised his palms up in the air, and shrugged his shoulders, "Is it useful to worry?"

Chen Jiayao was silent.

Du Junshan laughed "Hey", "Jiayao, what do you think of the teaching aids on the market compared with our own?"

Chen Jiayao replied without thinking too much: "It's the same with minor differences."

Du Junshan nodded, "After all, it has been tested by the market for many years. The most suitable model is also the most common model. What else? Who is better?"

This time Chen Jiayao hesitated.

Du Junshan moved two steps and put his hands in his pockets again. "Many are not worse than ours, and even more distinctive than ours, right?"

Chen Jiayao thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing wrong, so she nodded, "Yes."

"Why?" He wasn't really asking a question, so he asked himself and answered, "Because they have done market research, exchanged product experience with school teachers, and tried innovative methods and added some new things, even if sometimes that It’s just a concept.” He has friends who work in other companies, and he has heard some of them talk about it.

Du Junshan pulled out his hands and put his arms around his chest, with a slightly more serious expression. "For example, inserting QR codes in books, adding micro-lecture videos, or experimental animations, and test bank programs, are being done by people, but we only follow after people are doing it everywhere. up.

"Because we don't have enough manpower. And because we have relatively guaranteed sales channels, we don't need to bother too much to compete for the market. Being on the catalog has made us, but also limited us. Now that the catalog is cancelled, our sales volume will inevitably drop sharply. , in order to recover sales, we have to compete with competing products in the market, and we have to change.

"Today's book market is actually weak. A new book that sells tens of thousands of copies is a very good sales volume, but the teaching supplementary book market is different. There are so many students in the province, it is impossible for them not to buy teaching supplements. The number of students is not large. decline, the market demand will not decline.

"I heard from a friend that their company made a set of papers for the unified examination in middle schools across the province, then aggregated the results, analyzed them from the perspective of big data, and fed back the results to the school teachers, and designed a set of papers based on the results. A set of targeted training manuals is very popular with teachers and students. I think we can also try in this direction. There is also the need to add new technologies. Isn’t Internet+ very popular now? Internet thinking is very important in this era. I I feel that if we want to change, there can be many directions, so canceling the listing may not be a good thing for us. It’s a blessing in disguise.”

Although Chen Jiayao thought he was a bit whimsical, it was undeniable that he was a little cute in such a radiant look.Because Du Junshan rarely showed this side, Chen Jiayao looked at him with a little novelty in his eyes.The man is still confident and looks comfortable.

After Du Junshan finished his long speech, the bus waiting for Chen Jiayao just arrived, and the conversation came to an abrupt end.

At this time, most of the seats on the bus were empty, so Chen Jiayao chose a seat by the window and watched the neon lights pass by outside the bus.It turned out that Du Junshan thought so, what about her?

To be honest, after two or three years in the field of teaching assistants, she was actually a little tired.The textbooks and exam syllabus remain the same, and teaching aids will come and go with those contents.Is she going to keep doing this?

She looked out the window in a daze, as if she didn't have an answer yet, and she seemed to have an answer in her deeper consciousness.

The Shura field in the last week was finally over, and the editorial room shouted "Liberation", and all of a sudden it was scattered.After working overtime for more than two months, they will have ten days of vacation, which is not available in the other three editing rooms.Professionals, except for teachers who have winter and summer vacations, generally do not have such a long vacation, although the price is also high.

The other three rooms were envious and envious, but at the same time could not accept such a long period of high-intensity overtime work.Every position has its own characteristics, there are advantages and disadvantages, if you are comfortable with it, you can continue to work, if you are not suitable, just change jobs.

Ten days of vacation is enough for crazy fun, but there is one problem - no company!Others don't have such a long vacation to accompany them.

Although it's a holiday, it can't be completely deserted. As the team leader, Liu Yangchun stayed behind. He didn't have to work from [-] to [-], and only showed his face when the printing factory had blue samples.Lin Linglong had already made up her mind to go home with her parents.

Chen Jiayao had already planned to go to Yunnan alone to "heal her body and mind", but before she left, she brought Du Junshan with her.He said that he had made an appointment with a friend to go to Dunhuang to ride a camel, but the friend could not ask for leave and released his pigeons. He was traumatized and planned to go to the south from Chen Jiayao to "heal his body and mind".

Four overtime dogs were lost in the office at once, and I feel that the popularity has dropped a lot.As a result, they just had a few words of emotion, and at night Chen Jiayao posted Tula hatred in the circle of friends.Chen Jiayao is fair-skinned and beautiful, petite and cute, with a good camera angle, coupled with her beauty, the people in "Photo Deception" instantly rose to N levels.

While gnashing their teeth, everyone found Du Junshan's circle of friends. Unlike Chen Jiayao's single photos, he only posted a group photo of two people boating back to back on the lake.However, this photo with the goddess properly pulled everyone's hatred away.The low comments were all about "Xiu Enai dies quickly", Du Junshan regarded it as envy and hatred, and ignored it.

Although there was a long crusade in the editorial group last night, when I arrived at the company in the morning, people who did not have a holiday continued to criticize angrily.

"I really want to travel too." Lu Chen said with a sour breath, pouted.

Wu Chunjun lightly raised his eyelids to give her a glance, "Yes, please take a few days off, anyway, your boyfriend can afford you."

When Lu Minghong heard it, he stared at him, his slightly smiling expression seemed to say, "The rotten girl actually has a boyfriend, what kind of creature is this legendary, curious, curious, curious."

Wu Chunjun pretended to be serious and nodded to him, then shook his head with a sigh.

Lu Chen had been staring at him and preparing to fight back, but when he saw their tacit and silent communication, he changed the subject, leaned beside him and said eccentrically, "Yeah, my boyfriend is great, do you want to find a boyfriend too?" My friend raised you." While talking to Wu Chunjun, his eyes drifted to Lu Minghong's side.

Lu Minghong didn't flinch, still smiling brightly, pretending to be a fool with understanding.

Wu Chunjun was even more unmoved, and simply changed the topic, smiled at Zheng Huamiao and said, "Sister Hua, didn't your children go out to play during the summer vacation?"

There are two children in Zheng Huamiao's family, one is 7 years old and the other is 11 years old. They are both in elementary school.

"Why not, my husband took them to the beach a while ago, and when I came back to see, the three of them were all black, and I took pictures for their grandparents, and everyone died laughing." Zheng Huamiao said While laughing, the whole body is filled with a kind of family atmosphere.

Liu Chengying also has a family, but his wife and children are all in his hometown, and he can't see each other several times a year, so he can only chat often through video. "There is a river in my hometown. Boys often fish in the river during the summer vacation. The day before yesterday they sent me a video to show me the fish they caught. Heh, it was much smaller than what we caught back then, but it was fun. Still happy."

Cheng Xifeng rarely resented him: "Well, it sounds pretty good, it's not like we don't have anything there."

Lu Shen returned to his station, and Lu Minghong whispered to Wu Chunjun, "If we have time, we can also go on a trip together."

Wu Chunjun shook his head slightly, "It's difficult." There are only two people in the fourth room, and it is difficult to approve leave at the same time.He can't run far on weekends, and there are people everywhere on statutory holidays. He doesn't want to waste his good vacation by queuing and crowding.

Lu Minghong smiled and ignored it for now.

Chen Jiayao and Du Junshan spent several days in Yunnan, and visited several famous scenic spots one by one. After bombarding the crowd with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beauties in the group, they were finally willing to return.

Tired on the return journey, Chen Jiayao sat on the window seat of the train, staring at the golden sunset sky in a daze.

I saw a lot of beautiful scenery and ate a lot of food during the trip, but the most impressive thing is a quiet bookstore, located in the depths of a certain alley, there is no decoration to cater to tourists from afar, and some only face "locals" " at will.

That afternoon, she just wanted to visit the bookstore temporarily, but she couldn't find it after searching for a long time. After asking an old man, she found the small bookstore after nine turns and eighteen turns. It was hidden among the group of houses, separated from the world outside.This experience itself is a bit dramatic and a bit mysterious, which makes people yearn for it as soon as they hear it.

Walking into the bookstore, there is a display shelf on the left and right near the door, with relatively new books on the right, teaching aids on the left, other books, and behind the display shelf on the left is the cashier. He was reading the newspaper with reading glasses, and he didn't even look up when someone came in.

Affected by their occupations, they always go to the bookstore to visit the teaching and auxiliary area. In the past, when they went to the bookstore or Xinhua Bookstore, they would always be dazzled by the dazzling array of tutorial books. There is a feeling of "the books in the bookstore are the loudest, and I try to shout for fear that I will not be noticed".

There are not many types of teaching aids in this bookstore, and they are just arranged and displayed in an ordinary way.They picked up a few books and flipped through them, only to find that they were all produced in this province.There is no sign of the "famous brand" teaching aids in Guangdong Province here, let alone the two sets they made up themselves.The new books on the left have a little more variety, and most of them are about humanities and social sciences.

Walking inside, there are several rows of large bookshelves, not many new books, and there is even a side dedicated to second-hand books.Chen Jiayao skimmed row after row from the bookshelf, "Fu Lei's Family Letter", "Family Spring and Autumn", "Collected Morning Flowers at Evening", "Selected Poems of Xi Murong", "If You Give Me Three Days of Light", "The Merchant of Venice", "One Hundred Years of Solitude" "Reminiscence of Things Past"... There are many familiar names, and of course there are four indispensable masterpieces.There are also some things she doesn't know, such as "Sandalwood Punishment", "Ordinance", "Tea Man Trilogy"...

Chen Jiayao read along the way and picked out some at random to look at the cover, catalog, and binding.It can be seen whether a book is made with care or not. Now the covers of new books on the market are mostly gaudy and uncreative, and the face of the book has been made into a billboard.What is especially unbearable is that there is a girdle at every turn, "xxx strongly/grandly/heavily recommended", "another stunning masterpiece after xxx", readers are already unable to complain about this pile of exclamation points.

The next scene can be described as "love at the corner". When Chen Jiayao walked around the edge of the bookshelf and turned to the other side, she saw the dark blue curved spine at a glance. She pulled it out and looked at the cover. , the surface of the hard cover is soft, with the texture of cloth, the design is simple and simple, the thickness of the printed sheets and paper is moderate, it feels comfortable to the touch, and it looks like a handsome uncle full of mature masculine charm.

There were not many people in the store, and they were all reading their books as if no one else was there. No one noticed the slightly surprised expression and passionate mood of a little girl, and no one knew what this moment meant to the little girl.Until many years later, when Chen Jiayao thought of this moment, she could only describe it as "stunning". Although she had seen many more exquisite and addictive books than that one in the later time, the touch was never overwhelmed. replace.

In the end, Chen Jiayao still did not take the book away.

When she came out, someone who looked like an old teacher came to pick up the reserved books from the owner. From their conversation, Chen Jiayao vaguely guessed the grand occasion of this bookstore in the past. It's deserted in front of the door, but there are still some regular customers who come here to pass the time.

Chen Jiayao looked back at the rows of bookshelves. Every book was tied to a publishing house and a responsible editor. If one day, the book she edited was placed on it, what would it be like?

The author has something to say:

As a teaching assistant, the daily state before the start of school (for books such as classes) is to work overtime, overtime, and overtime.This is a sad topic~
