Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Chief Editor Wei’s Personal Visit Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Chief Editor Wei’s Personal Visit “I’ll take a look…” Chief Editor Wei picked up the manuscript and was immediately bewildered. He slammed it onto the table and exclaimed angrily, “What kind of joke is this? Is this supposed to be a comic?! Huh?! Is this what the character looks like? A big circle with ‘main character’ written on it?!”

“Chief Wei, please calm down. Look at the plot, the plot!” Li Wenfeng hurriedly explained, “Trust me, look at the plot!”

“The drawings are so terrible, how can there even be a good plot… ‘Detective Conan’?” Chief Editor Wei picked up the manuscript again half-skeptically; after all, he had to give some face to a colleague, right? But to his surprise, he was completely amazed after he started reading!

“This… this is…” Chief Editor Wei’s eyes widened like copper bells, and he exclaimed, “Damn, this plot, these murder methods, this case analysis, absolutely brilliant! Brilliant!”

His breathing grew heavy, and he shouted, “This is it! This is what I want! Absolutely awesome! Completely awesome! Li, call the printing room right now! We need to add pages to this issue of Comics World! These manuscripts total twenty-four pages; we need to bulk it up! It must be thicker!”

This time, Li Wenfeng was triumphant, “Chief Wei, the book is good, right?”

“Good, definitely good!” Chief Editor Wei laughed heartily and said, “Li, you call them… No, I’ll go myself! I’ll meet with the newly appointed Chairman Wang in person!”

…

Inside Golden Cloud Animation Technology Company.

Every member of the staff, all the senior managers, were currently gathered in the customer service department, their eyes fixed intently on the company’s customer service phone.

Whether the company could turn things around depended entirely on whether Chief Editor Wei from Comics World would make the decision!

“It’s really killing me, can it be done or not?”

“It can, it definitely can! I believe just the story Chairman Wang told is enough to touch people!”

“It’s been an hour already; I know Chairman Wang is impressive, but I can’t help feeling uneasy until this is settled…”

The staff were all anxious, and Lin Xiaoyun also stood by nervously.

Although she knew this comic was definitely impressive, nothing was settled yet, so no one dared to guarantee it would surely work.

After another anxious wait of more than ten minutes, finally, the phone rang!

“Ding-a-ling–”

The piercing ring made everyone’s heart race faster. Lin Xiaoyun grabbed the phone quickly and said anxiously, “Hello, is this Chief Li? Hello… yes… it’s me… yes… really? Okay… yes, I understand.”

Putting down the phone, Lin Xiaoyun took a deep breath.

“President Lin, how did it go? Did it pass?”

“It should have… passed, I guess?”

Everyone kept asking insistently, and Lin Xiaoyu, seeing her sister’s expression, felt a chill in her heart.

At that moment, Lin Xiaoyun looked grim, seemingly in a terrible mood, and after listening to everyone’s words, she finally took a deep breath.

Lin Xiaoyu’s heart sank, “Sister, it didn’t pass?”

Zhao Fei gasped, “No way? If it didn’t pass, are they blind?”

Everyone was looking at Lin Xiaoyun, but after keeping a straight face for quite a while, her expression suddenly shifted dramatically, and she screamed, “It passed! The book passed! And it was a huge pass! Chief Li just said, Chief Wei initially was as stiff as a stick and didn’t even want to read it, but once he started, he was dumbfounded! Hahaha!”

“Passed?!”

“Hahaha, I was scared to death. I thought it was blown over again!”

“Damn! Finally, it passed! Hahaha! Our company is finally turning around!”

The entire company erupted in jubilation, and Lin Xiaoyu was so excited she even tossed the documents she was holding into the air, absolutely thrilled. They finally passed! Now, they could finally sleep well without worrying about people resigning!

Three days and nights of sleeplessness!

“Hahaha, congratulations, President Lin!”

“So great, it finally passed!”

“Boss, are we treating everyone tonight?”

“Yes, we must!” Lin Xiaoyun exclaimed excitedly, “Tonight’s celebration party, everyone must attend!”

“Hahaha! Awesome!” Everyone cheered in unison, “Let’s get the celebration party started tonight!”

This time, everyone was genuinely happy!

The company had made such great progress, it was definitely a milestone that could be recorded in the company’s history! Not to mention, everyone’s spirits were so much higher than before!

Artist Zhang Zhengyang was drawing rapidly, Zhao Fei’s eyes were filled with inspiration, Lin Xiaoyu cried tears of excitement, and the others, needless to say, all huddled together, crying and laughing!

Just as everyone was enjoying the moment, suddenly the door of the company was pushed open, and two people walked in!

When Lin Xiaoyun saw these two people, she was immediately stunned.

“Chief Editor Wei! You actually came yourself!” Lin Xiaoyun hurried forward, her face full of shock, “Why didn’t you give me a heads up so I could prepare…”

When Lin Xiaoyun mentioned that this person was Chief Editor Wei from “Comics World,” all the employees there gasped in unison!

Chief Editor Wei came personally?!

“Isn’t it a nice surprise?” Chief Editor Wei warmly extended his hand as soon as he saw Lin Xiaoyun, “Oh, I read your comic, it’s simply fantastic! By the way, where’s Chairman Wang? Could you please ask him to come out so we can chat?”

“My brother is sleeping,” Lin Xiaoyun quickly sent Lin Xiaoyu to fetch Wang Hao, and then hurriedly ushered Chief Editor Wei and Lin Wenfeng into the meeting room, “The place is a bit shabby, please bear with us.” She said, as she brewed tea for them, even pulling out the best GZ Duyun Maojian tea that her father had left–such a luxury that she usually couldn’t bear to drink herself!

“Oh, don’t be so polite,” Chief Editor Wei drank the exorbitantly priced tea as if it was water, his mind wasn’t really on it; he was waiting for Wang Hao to come out to discuss the future collaboration plans.

“Who’s looking for me?” Shortly after, Wang Hao came in, rubbing his eyes, plopped onto the couch, and yawned longly, “I didn’t quite catch what was happening just now…”

With anyone else, Chief Editor Wei would have thought this to be disrespectful, but it felt totally natural with Wang Hao!

This is what you call the quirks of a genius!

With Wang Hao’s great talent, that attitude was just fitting! Otherwise, he would have felt embarrassed!

“Hello, you must be Chairman Wang,” Chief Editor Wei was the first to extend his hand, “I’m Wei Ningze, the chief editor of ‘Comics World.’ Nice to meet you for the first time, I’m looking forward to your care in the future!”

Lin Xiaoyun, watching from the side, had her mouth wide open–was this still the notoriously aloof and hard-to-please Chief Editor Wei?!

“Oh, hello,” Wang Hao sleepily shook hands with him and said, “You came in person for something? Couldn’t a phone call have sufficed…”

“I just felt that talking over the phone was too hasty,” Wei Ningze smiled, “You see, I’ve read your work and feel it has great potential, so I came today to propose a strategic cooperation agreement. Our ‘Comics World’ magazine is planning to serialize your company’s work in every issue going forward, what are your thoughts…”

“A serialization,” Wang Hao stroked his chin, “This, I really need to think about…”

Lin Xiaoyun gasped in shock–no way, little brother, this is a huge opportunity! Being able to serialize regularly in ‘Comics World’ would mean our company’s livelihood is secured from today!

And you still need to think about it?

“Terms can be discussed,” Chief Editor Wei said with a smile, “Whatever conditions you have, we can talk it over!”

“It’s not about the terms,” Wang Hao muttered, “I’m thinking about whether your company will last long enough!”

Upon hearing this, Li Wenfeng was totally stunned!

What do you mean? Will our company last long enough?

“Well, I don’t quite understand what you mean, Chairman Wang…” Wei Ningze was also a bit confused.

“I’m estimating this comic could run for about a thousand episodes,” Wang Hao said while yawning, “I’m just worried your company might not last that long…”

The three were totally bewildered!

A serialization for a thousand episodes! Holy shit! At the rate of one episode per week, and fifty-two episodes per year, that could last twenty years!
