genius editor

Tian Tian panicked immediately, and quickly called Brother Liehuo to take a picture of the cover for him.When brother Lihuo heard the news, he felt a heartache from the bottom of his heart.He just asked for a day off, who knew that the cover design would make such a low-level mistake: "Didn't the printing factory send a proof? Why didn't you check it?"

"I did not see……"

"You didn't see the proof document, why did you sign it?"

"I saw it was the printing confirmation form from the printing factory, so I signed it for fear of delay..." Tian Tian felt very aggrieved. In order to wait for the printing confirmation form, he stayed at the company until 9 o'clock, so naturally he didn't dare to dawdle any longer.

Hearing Tian Tian's low tone, brother Liehuo knew that the child was also working hard, so he restrained his anger and did not speak for a long time.He stared at the magazine cover on the screen over and over again, and said distractedly: "There is also a problem with the color scale..." This cover is very different from the effect they want to present.

"There are problems everywhere, and the printing factory should also take responsibility together?" Tian Tian glared at the manager of the printing factory.

The manager of the printing factory patted the samples and signed the confirmation letter, and said confidently: "This is not our problem, the quality inspection is the responsibility of your editorial department. The source documents you sent yourself and confirmed by yourself, what does it matter to us?"

"Then let us bear all the cost of reprinting?" Tian Tian felt desperate from the bottom of his heart, he had already determined that there was no other way but reprinting.

The manager of the printing factory yelled angrily: "We have cooperated with Jingyu for 6 years, and we have never made any mistakes. Jingyu has not paid the printing factory for half a year, and the printing volume has also dropped. Only my family still cares about favors with you. cooperate."

The printing factory is the one who knows Jingyu's print volume best. He knows how serious Jingyu's sales have fallen, and he also knows about the editor-in-chief's divorce and hospitalization.Although the cost of [-] copies of the magazine is not high, Jingyu still owes this part of the money that is being published every month in addition to the magazine.The future of Jingyu is not clear, and the printing factory did not dare to take risks: "If you want to reprint now, you should settle the arrears as soon as possible."

Brother Li Huo is in a dilemma: "At this time, the money is settled..." There is a disadvantage of running a magazine, that is, the return of funds is very slow, and the sales of this season's magazine have not yet arrived. It is really hard to say whether there is so much money in the company's account that can be transferred. . "Wait a minute, I want to ask the leader for instructions."

Tian Tian vaguely sensed that the company was going to close down, so he saved as much as he could: "The words used on the Internet are not typos; as for the color, readers don't know what the final version is, so they might think it is this color! Or... Why don't we just forget about it? Look, the printing is finished..." One hundred thousand copies, that's one hundred thousand copies!If you don't want it, you don't want it, even for the sake of pulp, he can't bear it.

Brother Riehuo was furious: "What's your attitude?! We have to be responsible to the distributors and readers. The wording and color of the cover are different from the order form sent out. This is a major printing accident. How can we be satisfied? Just a fluke? Xiao Tianer, let me put it bluntly, this month your performance salary and bonus are all gone."

Although Tian Tian was wronged, he had never seen Brother Liehuo get angry.Brother Riehuo usually works hard and never complains. Even if he does something wrong, he always encourages him with inspirational chicken soup. This makes him have no time to think about his grievances, and instead panics.He re-realized the seriousness of the matter through brother Lihuo's anger, and couldn't help correcting his attitude.

"Make a decision quickly!" the manager of the printing factory urged.Once the machine stops, the price will be recalculated when it is started again.

Brother Li Huo said: "I have never encountered such a bad situation, I will discuss the solution with the editor-in-chief first."

"Then hurry up." Tian Tian was burning with anxiety.

As soon as Tian Tian put down the phone, he complained to the manager: "Did you not read the final edition when you got it? Didn't your workers notice it when they printed the book?"

The manager smoked a cigarette calmly: "They are illiterate."

Tian Tian: "..."

"Then this color! This color is also different from the document we gave you! This is not the effect we want, and you have to take responsibility." Tian Tian hopes to raise the color to the main conflict, then he can still talk to the printing factory Arguing over who's to blame, ask the boss to at least help cover some of the damage, or make a discount so they're a little less burdened.

The manager is well-informed and has already seen through his mischief: "This is not a problem of color difference. You have a typo, I heard it all, hehe."

Hey Nima!

Tian Tian was ashamed and angry: "How can you be so irresponsible! I will never cooperate with you again!"

The manager took another drag on his cigarette, showing his yellow teeth: "It's up to your editor-in-chief to decide." He made it clear that he didn't take him seriously. "The printing is almost finished, so hurry up and ask your leaders what to do. In order to catch up with your release date, we have already stayed up all night. Otherwise, you can just take it to the logistics and delivery; or you can send money in , Hurry up and reprint—I can’t guarantee whether I can catch up tomorrow. You can figure it out.”

Tian Tian was urged, so he called Brother Liehuo to remind him.However, Brother Riehuo was busy, probably discussing with the editor-in-chief.Tian Tian called Ye Shun again, but no one answered after twenty rings.He immediately lost his mind.He was bullied by others, and none of these uncles could point them out, and no one made up their minds. Now that such a big matter and such a heavy pressure are all on him, he had no choice but to call Zhuang Mo. On the phone, hold your breath, as if pulling at the last straw.

After three rings, Zhuang Mo picked it up.

Tian Tian didn't care whether he was fit to answer the phone or not, he talked about the matter emotionally, and then began to complain endlessly about Brother Lie Huo for not checking carefully, complaining that the factory manager was a profiteer, and complaining that Zhuang Mo thought money could solve everything and threw things away. Give him nothing.They were the culprits who left him in the wilderness at ten o'clock in the evening to manage a mess.Tian Tian poured out his negative emotions at Zhuang Mo with crackling sparks, and felt that he had found support, so he had to have a good time first.

Zhuang Mo: "..."

He was having dinner with Song Peng, discussing the structure of the applet, Tian Tian yelled so loudly that the whole table could hear him, so naturally he couldn't finish the meal.Zhuang Mo asked him to throw in an address, then hung up the phone, apologized to the person, and said that there was still something to be done in the company, so let's go first.

15 minutes later, he appeared in the printing factory.

When Tian Tian saw Zhuang Mo, his anxiety was swept away: The person who solves the problem is here!Out of awe and trust in Zhuang Mo, he subconsciously felt that Zhuang Mo could solve everything.He had a backbone, and immediately glanced at the manager of the imprint factory arrogantly: "What's your ability to bully me, now, someone we can fight is here, let's see how he will deal with you!"

In the end, Zhuang Mo had no intention of negotiating with the manager at all. He walked to a place where no one was around, and beckoned him to follow: "How is the matter going?"

"That's it. They haven't called me yet, haven't you contacted them?" Tian Tian thought that having reported to Zhuang Mo, it was equivalent to handing over the matter to Zhuang Mo, isn't it so?

"So you didn't do anything in these 15 minutes?" Zhuang Mo asked sternly.

Tian Tian shrank his neck in fear, why did he feel that Zhuang Mo was going to deal with him?

When he was criticized, he was wronged and angry, and he argued loudly: "I don't know anything! I just went to work, and my words don't count..."

"There are four people in the office, and you represent half of them. You don't count, but who counts? The editor-in-chief is lying on the hospital bed, and the executive editor is also lying on the hospital bed. It's your turn after the queue, but you still count on them? Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you took double wages?"

"I'm working overtime seriously! It's just that I didn't expect unexpected situations..."

"If there is an emergency, then go to solve it."

"I just graduated and I don't know anything!" Tian Tian felt that he was unreasonable, but he had no one to rely on, so he reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "...then what do you think?"

Zhuang Mo gave him a condescending look: "What are you asking me for? What does this have to do with me?"

"What do you mean it's none of your business?!" Tian Tian originally thought he was one of his own, but he suddenly rebelled at a critical moment, and his eyes widened, "This is a magazine we made, why it has nothing to do with you? You know I don’t know if this issue can’t be printed, the company is likely to collapse?!”

"I don't read this magazine, and I don't take the company's money. It doesn't matter to me whether the company goes bankrupt or not. On the contrary, you come to me when something happens. Why, do you want to bury yourself in my arms and cry?"

Tian Tian never imagined that Zhuang Mofei not only did not support him, but also blamed and humiliated him, and was so angry that he was about to cry: "You...you...since you don't care about your business and you don't intend to help, then you What are you doing here?!"

Zhuang Mo picked up the chair and kicked it in front of him leisurely, Shi Shiran sat down: "I'll just sit here today and see what you do."

Tian Tian: "..."

Tian Tian was scolded by Zhuang Mo, and was furious: He regarded Zhuang Mo as someone he could rely on, but Zhuang Mo ignored their common cause and watched him make a fool of himself——Zhuang Mo still looked down on him!

"I'll wipe you and wait..." He pressed in a low voice, and walked up to the manager of the printing factory again, vowing not to let Zhuang Mo underestimate him.

Although the manager couldn't hear what they were talking about, he knew that he had been cut, and there was a bit of banter on his face.

"You guys reprinted [-] copies, how much?" Although Zhuang Mo was just sitting there, Tian Tian also subconsciously gained confidence, at least he was not fighting alone - he also had a spectator.

"Are you going to pay?" The manager's eyes were full of distrust.

Tian Tian often goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, so he is very good at bargaining: "You first charge me the money for the reprint."

The manager finally restrained his contemptuous posture, leaned back on the table to write, draw, press the computer, and finally quoted a price.

Tian Tian's heart aches: So expensive...

Next, he would like to ask the finance, how much money is left on the company's books.But when he turned on his phone, he found that he had no financial phone number at all.Fortunately, brother Lihuo had passed the contact form of various departments to the group before, and before it expired, he quickly downloaded one and successfully found the contact person he wanted.

The result of contacting the financial department is that there is no money: "But Brother Liehuo has already asked about this matter just now, and he should be thinking of a way."

Tian Tian felt sad and happy.

The sad thing is that the company is really poor; the happy thing is that Brother Lie Huo is also thinking the same way, maybe he is raising money now.

But he remembered Zhuang Mo's phrase "The executive editor is also lying on the bed, you still count on him", and shook his head again: No, if Brother Liehuo can handle this matter, then he will really be looked down upon by Zhuang Mo up!There must be a better way!

He brought the book in front of the manager: "Can this typo be patched up? For example, with a sticker or something?" He used to read books and often saw typos covered with small pieces of paper.

The manager rolled his eyes: "There is no money for manual work, right? One by one, they are all handmade, so what if the stickers are crooked? And this is the cover, isn't it ugly?"

Tian Tian clicked his tongue, held the book and looked at it for a while, the cover, the cover... He suddenly had an idea, picked up the spine of the book to have a look, it was glue bound!

He immediately peeled off the cover, and there was nothing wrong with the book inside.This printing factory has a big temper, but the quality is really good.

He slapped the separated book and cover on the table: "The cover is reprinted, and the old one is replaced with a new one!"

The manager's face turned pale: "The cover is torn, and the inside may all fall apart!"

"If you're afraid of damage, just use a knife to cut it. Don't be careful?" Tian Tian's eyes lit up, and he spoke angrily, "It doesn't matter if you leave a small piece of the spine, and glue it on for a new cover. , I can’t see it at all, so it’s settled!”

With [-] coated paper covers, it is much cheaper than reprinting all of them!

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaosong walked into the printing factory with his laptop in his arms, and he was ready to help: "After cutting off the spine and removing the cover, the size of the new cover needs to be adjusted, and there is a gap of 1-2mm. And the color number needs to be adjusted again. CMYK format." He skillfully connected to the Internet cable, pushed down his glasses, and opened the output file.

Tian Tian saw that half of the editorial department had arrived, and was greatly encouraged: "Just do it!"

The manager shook his head and said no: "This can only be done by the workers by hand. It is a fantasy to replace the covers of [-] books before noon tomorrow. Even if all the workers here are in battle, it is impossible to complete it. It is too late, too late. .”

Tian Tian was wilted again.But he thought to himself that he had found the best solution, and he never wanted to give up when he was just a step away from the goal. After tangling and tangling, he made up his mind: "Then tell me, how many people are enough?"

"Give me at least ten more."

"Ten people are ten people!" Tian Tian took out his mobile phone and contacted the college classmates who had dinner together a few days ago one by one.

Regardless of his appearance, he used to be able to get along quite well in school. After all, there is no need to work in school, and the communication between classmates is relatively simple.Tian Tian has a wide range of interests and hobbies, and he is a cheerful person. He has a lot of friends who play football, literature clubs, cosplay, and play games. Now he has been dug out of bed by a phone call in the middle of the night. Although there are many complaints, but because Tian Tian He promised all kinds of benefits according to his own preferences: joining the team to play football on weekends, helping to publish books, making clothes together, helping the king with hero glory, etc., and so on, he reluctantly agreed to help.Within an hour, boys in their early twenties, sloppily dressed, and sleeping soundly came from all directions of City B to the printing factory.Zhuang Mo couldn't help sighing that it's good to be young, and the ability to act is high.

Just as Tian Tian was busy here, Brother Lie Huo called and said that the matter had been resolved.

After Zhuang Mo learned that there was a problem in the printing factory, he pushed a list of acquaintances to Brother Liehuo, which was a new autobiographical book by a certain artist, with a starting price of 80 copies: "Take this list and talk to the boss of the printing factory, saying that this entertainment company I don’t know much about publishing, but I’m very picky about craftsmanship and have extremely high requirements for paper quality, so I haven’t been able to find a suitable manufacturer. Jingyu can help the printing factory get this order, on the condition that the magazine problem can be solved for us.”

"They will definitely not agree. The cost of reprinting 10 copies is too high."

"You are a glue-bound book. I took off the cover and reprinted it. Is it expensive?" Zhuang Mo asked.

Brother Liehuo also thought about this method: "The main reason is that I can't find a laborer in the middle of the night."

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhuang Mo acted mysteriously.

Brother Liehuo negotiated with the printing factory according to his instructions.The other side deliberated for a while, and agreed not to make any further payment.

After finishing it, Brother Lie Huo wanted to inform Tian Tian, ​​but before he said anything, Tian Tian stepped forward and said: "I've finished everything here too!" Talk about your great plans.

Lie Huo almost burst into tears.Zhuang Mo's arrangement saves time and money, but the labor cost is too high.Now Tian Tian has made up for the free labor force, and it is a perfect combination of two swords: "I didn't expect Tian Tian that you are so capable!"

In normal times, Tian Tian's tail would be up to the sky, but in view of his problem with such a major printing accident, now that the Long March has just taken the first step, he is still nervous and lively: "Not much to say I'm working here, you should have a good rest, I'll be watching, the magazine will be out of the warehouse on time at noon tomorrow!"

Putting down the phone, Tian Tian noticed Zhuang Mo's gaze, and raised his chin at him arrogantly: "Don't look down on me!"

Zhuang Mo laughed.

This is the case with the little fart child, if he is not thrown directly off the cliff, he will always think that his wings are just a decoration, and he will just nest in the nest and wait for food.

When Tian Tian worked ecstatically for two hours and looked up again, Zhuang Mo had already left, replaced by a table of KFC for them to spend the long night.And this whole night, people came to the printing factory one after another, and continued to join the team of printing workers.

The third young master of the Song family was picking up books while smoking a cigarette: "I've been writing books for so many years, but I haven't seen how books are printed. It's really interesting."

Ling next to him yawned: "How long will this work... If you can't get up tomorrow, what should you do with the update?"

Onion poohed him: "You change three thousand a week, what's your name?"

Butterfly repeated his actions mechanically: "The last time I came to the printing factory was when I signed [-] copies..."

Everyone: "Wow, [-] copies? Who is so heartless?"

"Who else……"

Several red-dot masters looked at each other, and secretly scolded the capitalist in their hearts that they really had no conscience, and vowed to let that fellow treat them next time.

"Who are those people?" Tian Tian, ​​who had read red-dotted articles for half his life, felt that these old men in pajamas looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen them.

Later, when they were eating supper together, they learned that Zhuang Mo had left the dinner table and asked them to come over to help pick up the books, and then thinking of Xiao Song who suddenly appeared at the printing factory, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth: This old fox!He had already planned it!And scare him!It's not a thing!
