The middle-aged man helped the old man into the president's office, and then made two more cups of tea, one for the old man and one for himself.

In fact, the old man has a strong body, is not deaf or blind, and even his hair rarely turns gray, so he does not need support.

It was just that the middle-aged man felt an inexplicable desolation in the old man, so he stepped forward to help him.

The old man is the old friend Zheng Jie mentioned, his name is Liang Yuan, and he is also the president of Xiaojianghu Magazine.

The middle-aged man's name is Gu Wei, and he is the editor-in-chief of Xiaojianghu Magazine. I have been in Xiaojianghu for more than 10 years, and I have witnessed the glory of Xiaojianghu, but also the loneliness at this time.

Now, apart from him, the editor-in-chief of Xiaojianghu Magazine, there are only two editors left.

The remaining two editors actually want to leave, but they are both old editors of Xiaojianghu and have feelings for Xiaojianghu. In addition, the president and editor-in-chief treat them very well, so it is hard for them to leave now. .

However, they also knew that Xiao Jianghu would not last long. The president has decided to transfer Xiaojianghu. If the transfer fails, the only option is to close down.

Judging from the current situation, most of them will have to close their doors.

The two editors could only sigh in their hearts, and there was no other way.

Of course, if there are slightly better submissions, their magazine may still have a chance of survival. It’s just that their sales volume is between 20,000 and 30,000 copies per issue, and they are also published bimonthly, which is obviously not attractive to those better martial arts authors.

The submissions to them are usually the works of newcomers practicing their skills. If you cannot receive good manuscripts, your sales will naturally become lower and lower.

If this vicious cycle continues, there will be no other option but to close the door.

According to the estimates of the two editors, of the current sales of 20,000 to 30,000 copies, it is estimated that more than half of them are purchased by some old readers who have become emotionally attached to the magazine.

It’s hard to say whether I will read the above story after I buy it.

This is one of the reasons why president Liang Yuan decided to transfer or close the magazine. The old president didn't want people to buy his magazine just because he had feelings for the magazine, not because he liked the stories in it.

…

In the president's office.

Editor-in-Chief Gu Wei took a sip of tea, considered it for a while, and said: "President, several major magazines headed by "Martial Arts" have organized a competition between various martial arts newspapers and magazines. Do you want us to... …”

President Liang Yuan gave a wry smile and said: "Xiao Gu, if we have a good piece of work and submit it to the competition, it will indeed be a good publicity effect. But if we randomly take a piece of work to compete, it will just be It’s just a matter of humiliation.”

Gu Wei sighed after hearing this. Why didn't he know this?

Moreover, this should be the main purpose of those magazines to hold such competitions.

However, this may be their only chance at the moment. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have it again.

After a long time, Liang Yuan sighed and said: "Xiao Gu, I have announced the news of the transfer of the magazine. It would be best if someone takes over. If not, then, just publish the last two issues. After two issues, you, Xiao Liu, Xiao Lin and the others should move to another place. You are very capable, and I know that many magazines have been poaching you recently. "

After saying that, Liang Yuan sighed heavily again, suddenly seeming to have aged a lot.

Finally, it has finally come to this point.

Gu Wei felt sad in his heart and said softly: "President, Xiaojianghu did not drag us down. It is we who regard Xiaojianghu as our home, and we stay here voluntarily."

After hearing this, Liang Yuan suddenly smiled with relief and said only two words "good" and nothing else.

…

It was almost 9:30 in the morning when Li Fan arrived at the bus station in the provincial capital. After walking out of the station, I called a taxi and went straight to Wuyi Lane.

An hour later, Li Fan stood at the entrance of Wuyi Lane. First, I took a strange look at the very different buildings on both sides of the alley. Then he fixed his gaze on a very conspicuous sign in front of him.

Li Fan nodded with satisfaction. This sign had a rather chilling air. If you want to be proud of the world, it should be like this.

Immediately, Li Fan walked over and stepped into the door of Xiaojianghu Magazine.

There was a very listless girl at the front desk. She was slightly stunned when she saw Li Fan coming in. She didn't seem to expect that a strange young man would walk in at this time.

It was probably a long time since a stranger had walked in from here.

After Li Fan entered the door, he saw the slightly dazed expression of the girl at the front desk. He was a little confused and frowned slightly.

Only then did the girl at the front desk react and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, sir, what can I do for you? It's been so long since no one else has come, so I was a little confused just now. I'm really sorry."

Well, the girl said it so frankly, which made Li Fan smile a little. She is such a cute girl.

"I'm looking for your president, is he here?" Li Fan said with a slight smile.

"Yes, yes, sir, please come with me." The girl walked out of the front desk as she spoke, leading Li Fan inside.

Li Fan chuckled and followed the girl inside. Well, the figure is still good.

Arriving at an office, the girl knocked on the door and said, "President, a gentleman is looking for you."

"Someone is looking for it?" Liang Yuan was stunned, "Could it be that... Oh! Whatever, it's better to transfer it than to close it down."

Liang Yuan suppressed his complicated emotions and said, "Please come in!"

The girl pushed open the door of the president's office and motioned to Li Fan to invite him. Li Fan nodded slightly and then walked into Liang Yuan's president's office.

Seeing the person coming in, Liang Yuan was startled again, "Why is he so young? Isn't he here to transfer magazines? What is he here to do?"

Although there were so many thoughts running through his mind, Liang Yuan quickly stood up, walked outside the desk, shook hands with Li Fan and said, "I am the president here, Liang Yuan."

Then he motioned to Gu Wei and continued: "This is our editor-in-chief, Gu Wei. Little brother, please sit down!"

Li Fan first shook my hand with Liang Yuan, then shook my hand with Gu Wei, and then sat down on the sofa.

At this time, the girl at the front desk also brought a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Li Fan.

Li Fan smiled and thanked him. The girl at the front desk blushed slightly and then left.

Liang Yuan sat back on the chair behind the desk, looked at Li Fan, and said, "I wonder what I call this little brother? What's the reason for coming here?"

Li Fan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "President Liang, you're welcome. My surname is Li. I heard that President Liang intends to transfer Xiaojianghu Magazine. I wonder if this is the case?"

When Liang Yuan heard that the other party was indeed here for the magazine, he felt reluctance, relief, regret, etc. for a while. After a short while, he sighed softly and said, "This is the case. Matter, does Li Xiaoyou intend to take over?"

Li Fan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I wonder what President Liang is planning to do?"

Before Liang Yuan could answer, Gu Wei stood up and said, "President, Mr. Li, you have something important to discuss, so I'll go out first."

Liang Yuan nodded, and Li Fan nodded as well.

Immediately, Gu Wei nodded slightly to Liang Yuan and Li Fan, and then exited the president's office.

Gu Wei, who left the president's office, wondered, "Doesn't this young man know the current operating conditions of the magazine?"
