Xiao Bai nodded and did not speak.It's just that I still sighed in my heart, Liu Xiaoling, this girl seems to be destined to be the life of hard work, I just met this thing when I arrived at BOD Electronics, and it is estimated that she is busy again!
End of August.Xiao Bai personally sent his grandmother and aunt's family back to Star City.This time, everyone didn't take a plane, Xiao Bai took Han Weiguo and others and drove two cars back to Xintun first.I stayed in Xintun for two days, accompanied my grandmother to visit relatives, and then returned to Star City.That night, Xiao Bai had a meal with Wei Feng and others.During the dinner, Wei Feng talked about the current book publishing market and lamented that business is becoming more and more difficult."
The main thing is that there is a lack of competitive works!
Xiaowei, you haven't written novels in the past two years?
And the old guard, it's really not okay for you to write one yourself. ”Xiao Bai felt that Wei Feng and the others seemed to be becoming more and more conservative, and the books published and distributed were also trying to be safe, so the other party would have the emotion just now."
Brother Xiao, martial arts books are slowly becoming less popular now, I really don't know what everyone likes to read.Last year, the studio published Lao Jia's "Waste Capital", and it has been selling very well until this year.It's a pity that it's banned now. ”Jiang Wei pouted, he was not interested in writing novels now, he was just waiting for Xiao Bai to transfer him to Shencheng.Xiao Bai turned his head to look at Wei Feng when he heard this, and asked, "Your idea?"
I mean to publish Lao Jia's book, omitting 10,000 words here at every turn?
”"What?"
Wei Feng didn't understand too much, and after a pause, he continued: "It was my idea, that book sold very well, and it also made a lot of money for the studio." ”"Do you have any stock left?""
It's gone!
I didn't feel right at the time, there was a change in public opinion, so I didn't print it.Later, the book was banned, and the matter came to an end. ”Xiao Bai nodded and ended the topic."
Lao Wei, Aunt Zhang, the future book publishing and distribution will not be as easy as in previous years.I'm going to make a transition and end the studio next year. ”Xiao Bai finally made up his mind to quit book publishing and distribution, and in fact, the last scenery of Huangni Street was in the past two years.With the beginning of the rectification of the book market, the gradual popularization of personal computers, and the change of access to information and entertainment, it is inevitable that paper books will gradually decline.Zhang Xuemei smiled and said, "I'm also old, so let's stand on this last shift."
When the studio closes, I can retire and go home to enjoy the blessings. ”Wei Feng's mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say anything in the end.Jiang Wei was happy when he heard it, he had long wanted to go to the Special Economic Zone anyway, and it seemed that the opportunity was coming soon."
Old Wei, don't be so depressed, there are still many things that can be done in the future.Don't worry, when the studio is over, I'll find a way to settle all the people. ”Xiao Bai reiterated his promise, but did not give them the concept of the Internet.In the future, whether it is new media or e-books, it is too early to talk about these things."
Hehe, I knew the boss wouldn't leave us alone.Come, I toast you, I will stick to my job for the past two years. ”Wei Feng had a bottom in his heart, and his laughter became hearty.After eating, Xiao Bai returned to his small courtyard by car.came with him, as well as Jiang Wei."
Xiaowei, have you been in contact with Xiaotong recently?"
Sitting in the familiar room, Xiao Bai remembered his former tablemate Yue Tong."
Well, I had a phone call with him some time ago.I felt like he was in good shape, and we chatted for about ten minutes. ”Jiang Wei didn't actually understand Yue Tong's thoughts, and the other party didn't say much."
Xiaowei, you prepare here, come to the deep city with me this time.When we go back, I will take a look at Xiaotong, and I would like to know how he is doing. ”Xiao Bai smiled slightly and said what Jiang Wei wanted to hear the most."
Really?
That's great!
Xiao Dong, I don't have anything to prepare here, but do you have to find someone to take over my job when I'm gone?
”Happy to happy, Jiang Wei still hasn't forgotten his duty.Xiao Bai would definitely not be negligent in this matter, and the next day he went to Liang Yuqi and asked the other party to help him find a financial officer."
Aunt Man, I'm already planning to end the studio in the next year or two.Are you still going to do it here at the bookstore?
”In fact, Liang Yuqi has always been hesitant.At present, Xue Gang is developing well in Dongguan City, and it seems unlikely that he will come back in the past few years, and it is not a matter for the family to be separated from the two places for such a long time.Xiao Bai's grandmother is reluctant to leave her hometown, and this matter is not without a solution.As long as she does her job as an old man, she will definitely agree.It was the Spring Rain Bookstore that made it difficult for her to give up, after all, she developed it little by little.Although it doesn't seem to make much money now, there are still profits of about five or six hundred thousand a year."
I'll think about it again and come back to it.If you're looking for a finance person, I have someone to recommend to you," Liang Yuqi plans to finish this year and then think about the future.As for Xiao Bai wanting to find a reliable financial officer, this matter is not difficult.After all, she has been in Huangni Street for so many years, and she usually deals with them a lot.The new accountant of the studio soon arrived, and Jiang Wei handed over to the other party.Xiao Bai took the time to go to the school to see Pang Xianchu and the others, and had a reunion with the old classmates who could be contacted, and then left Star City with Jiang Wei."
Brother Xiao, it's so remote here!"
The two cars drove slowly between the mountains, but fortunately there was a low-grade road, otherwise they didn't know how to get to this place.In the afternoon, Xiao Bai and others saw a small station where Yue Tong worked, Wudaoling Station.This small station does not handle passenger traffic, and freight trains generally make short stops here to do some simple supplies.In addition, the station is also responsible for the maintenance and inspection of a nearby section of the railway.Xiao Bai and the others got off the train in the open space in front of the small station, Han Weiguo ran in and asked, there were only two attendants in the station."
Hello!
Are you looking for Stationmaster Yue?
He took people to patrol the line, and he should be back before dark. ”The attendant invited them in, poured hot water for everyone, and told Yue Tong's whereabouts."
Oh, then we'll wait for him."
Xiao Bai saw that the other party had no intention of being embarrassed, so he decided to wait here for a while.Wait until the sun sets.Yue Tong walked in from outside with a few workers."
Brother Xiao, Xiaowei, why are you here?""
Haha, Xiao Tongzi, I can't bear you if you don't speak.I said, why are you so dark now?
Catch up with the coal diggers. ”Xiao Bai and Jiang Wei stood up and stepped forward, neither of them could believe that the person in front of them was Yue Tong.At this time, Yue Tong's whole person looked black and not slippery, and his beard had grown, thinking that he was handsome back then, but now he has become a rough man."
Can you patrol the line all day without getting dark?
Brother Xiao, you sit down for a while, I'll ask someone to buy two chickens and come back, let's have a few drinks in the evening." ”As Yue Tong spoke, he took out a handful of change from his body and gave it to his colleague, asking the other party to go to the cottage ten miles away to buy two chickens and some other food.He still had a few bottles of liquor in his cabinet, enough for them to drink at night.Xiao Bai didn't stop Yue Tong either, and waited until it was dark and the people who went out to buy food came back.The man was carrying two chickens in his hand, and some dried bamboo shoots and bacon.As soon as he returned, everyone in the small station started to work together, and soon there was a table of wine and food that was not sumptuous."
Weiguo, you go and bring the two bottles of wine in the trunk of the car, as well as cigarettes."
The small station also has a special place to eat, and Xiao Bai asked Yue Tong to call everyone over for a drink.He didn't bring anything with him this time, only a few bottles of Moutai and a few hibiscus cigarettes.When chatting just now, Xiao Bai noticed that Yue Tong's two fingers were slightly yellow, and at first glance he was a person who smoked often."
Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
Yue Tong grinned when he saw Moutai.His colleague's eyes lit up as he looked at the wine and cigarettes.Han Weiguo hurriedly opened a cigarette and scattered it for everyone."
That's all you talk about!
Thank you, thank you.Come on, come on, fill up the wine and have a toast together!
”Xiao Bai is used to controlling the field, and he is not polite to these people at the moment, and goes straight to work.In addition to the people on duty at night, Yue Tong is in this wilderness, and they usually have nothing to do, and drinking is one of the few entertainment activities.So everyone loves to take a few sips, regardless of whether the amount of alcohol is good or not."

How's it going, you're used to it here?"
After three rounds of drinking, the rest of the station evacuated the table one after another.Although they are not on duty, they still can't get drunk, what if there is some emergency?
Xiao Bai, Yue Tong, and Jiang Wei did not continue to drink, but sat here and chatted casually."
I've long been used to it, and life can still get by.You have also seen that there are only a few people in our small station, and there are a lot of things, and it is the norm to do work with stars and moons.As for me, I have nothing to complain about, after all, I chose to take the path I chose.However, according to the original statement, I should be able to transfer back to the city after this year. ”Yue Tong babbled about his situation in the past few years, although it was more fragmented, but it still sounded a little sad."
Xiao Tongzi, are you sure to return to Star City?
Don't let people get stuck and won't let you go. ”Jiang Wei never listened to what he said, but he was loyal to his words."
Then let's talk about it then, anyway, my legs are on me, and no one can stop me if I want to go."
Yue Tong smiled slightly, and didn't take Jiang Wei's words seriously.Xiao Bai heard a little different taste from the other party's words, and he estimated that Yue Tong might not be able to work in the unit for long.Yue Tong is a serious undergraduate graduate, but he has been working in such a remote station for a few years, where can he be transferred back to the city?
It doesn't always go well.
