Don't be too bad

Chapter 718

Chapter 718

Lu Shiyao couldn't help cursing silently in her heart.

Look for her as soon as you get to work!
Everyone else is just talking about idleness, no one is looking for her, just look for her!

The editor-in-chief of the publishing house is a greasy man in his early 50s, with a standard bald head and a smell of cigarettes all over his body. When he smiles, his eyes are narrowed. He doesn't look like a cultural person.

In fact, this publishing house is considered a public institution, and there are really not many people who come in with real skills, and they all come in by virtue of connections.

In the past few years, the publishing industry has become more and more sluggish, and there are very few people who want to take the exam here.

Lu Shiyao knocked listlessly on the door of the editor-in-chief's office, "Editor-in-chief, are you looking for me?"

"Little Lu! Come, come, sit down!"

The editor-in-chief was smoking, and when he saw Lu Shiyao coming in, his eyes narrowed.

Lu Shiyao sat opposite the editor-in-chief, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Our agency is preparing a cookbook. This is not an ordinary recipe. This is a recipe compiled by a chef who has won an international award. We have already contacted the chef. We need to send someone In the past, I see that you are more researched on food, so I will give you such a good job!"

The editor-in-chief looked at how nice I was to you.

It's really disgusting to Lu Shiyao!

Such a good job?

Is this errand okay?
Ghosts know what people are doing every day. They do have publishing tasks every month, but with the downturn in the publishing industry, these tasks are getting less and less, so their wages are getting lower and lower.

Everyone is so idle, this sends her out?

Is this a bad thing?
Lu Shiyao smiled mischievously, "Editor-in-Chief, I like to eat, but I'm really not interested in recipes or anything like that!"

She is telling the truth, the essence of being a foodie is inherited from her mother Xia Xiaoxi, but the difference between the two is that Xia Xiaoxi is the top level of foodie, that is, she can eat and cook, but Lu Shiyao is different Yes, she is lazy.

I don't know anything about cooking, so I like to eat ready-made ones.

"Young people, learn more. You are the most relaxed in our agency. You don't have a family, you don't have to take care of the elderly and children, you don't have a relationship, you don't need to date, and you just go out to see more of the world."

Ten thousand mud horses galloped past Lu Shiyao's head!

Co-author, she does not fall in love or get married, just to serve the people!
What a stupid reason!

"The editor-in-chief..."

"Okay, Xiao Lu, this matter is settled like this. This is the contact information of the other party. You can contact me later and make an appointment to meet. This thing will give you a longer time, maybe two months."

"..."

Two months is a long time?

"This is the key book in our club, you have to seize the opportunity, maybe it will give you a promotion or something!"

Coming out of the editor-in-chief's office, Lu Shiyao felt aggrieved!

Also promoted?
Every time the editor-in-chief gives her such a thankless job, he will coax her like this. If she wants to get promoted, she can just call her father and get it done. Does he still need him?
It's a pity that after she entered the publishing house, she didn't want to bother her family any more, and she could eat as long as she was full and not hungry.

Returning to her seat, Lu Shiyao held the piece of paper.

The words on it were handwritten, and at first glance, the broken characters were written by the assistant of the editor-in-chief, and the whole publishing house could recognize the broken characters.

"Cheng Che? Fuck me! There are still people with this name these days?"

Lu Shiyao looked helplessly at the phone number above.

It may be that she has been working as an editor for a long time, so she is not used to contacting strangers. She usually communicates with authors through QQ or WeChat.

She really couldn't pronounce Cheng Che's name, so she tried to add that mobile phone number to see if there was WeChat.

The result is really there.

The other party quickly approved the request to add friends.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng, I'm from Chunjiang Publishing House. Our company has contacted you before and wants to publish half of your recipes. When do you think I can meet when I have time?"

"Tomorrow at 02:30 pm."

The other party is also refreshing.

"Okay, then we'll see you then."

Sister Meng at the desk next door poked her head over, "Xiao Lu, what task has the editor-in-chief arranged for you?"

"Hey, don't mention it, it's about to come up with some recipes, let me talk to the chef, it's so annoying!" Lu Shiyao couldn't help complaining.

Sister Meng, named Meng Zihui, is almost 40 years old this year. She was one of the few who entered the publishing house with a literary dream, but who knew that after she came in, the publishing industry started Went downhill.

"Produce a recipe? Isn't this just to your liking? Don't complain, this editor is just like that, talk to the other party, and let them provide more comprehensive materials, so you can save a few trips."

"Well, that's the only way to go, I hope the other party can cooperate a little bit."

Lu Shiyao can only pray that this man with a weird name can treat her a little more tenderly, because she is so cute.

After lunch, Lu Shiyao didn't take much rest, so she drove out directly. The other party made an appointment at the Royal Hotel, and he was the chef of the Royal Hotel.

As soon as she came here, Lu Shiyao thought of her sister's wedding, and thought of that chicken leg!
She went in holding the computer and camera in her arms.

Of course, photos are indispensable for making recipe books. Originally, this job should not be hers, but there is no one in the publishing house.

Not to mention the work of taking pictures, even the camera is her own, the publishing house naturally has a camera, but the pixels are not good enough, it is too old, every time the photos taken are not up to standard, and they don’t know how to equip a new one if they are not up to standard.

So she had no choice but to buy a camera out of her own pocket.

"Grandma has legs, and a cookbook is too big, don't you know how to come out to meet her?"

Lu Shiyao was almost exhausted holding these two things!

Fortunately, it's not summer anymore, otherwise she would have passed out.

"Hello, may I ask if Mr. Cheng Chegan is here?" Lu Shiyao was very polite and asked a little brother in a chef's uniform.

"Who?"

"Cheng Chegan." Lu Shiyao repeated the strange name.

The other party laughed and asked again: "Who are you talking about?"

"Cheng! Car! Do it!" Lu Shiyao really felt that this name was really unsuitable to pronounce, and she happened to meet such a fool.

The other party laughed even harder, clutching his stomach and laughing wildly.

"Do you know or not? If you don't know, I'll ask someone else!" Lu Shiyao turned around and bumped into a big man, her head was dizzy for a while.

As soon as she looked up, the man asked with a dark face, "What do you want from him?"

The little brother who laughed just now laughed even harder, pointed at the big man and said, "He's Cheng, pfft...Cheng Che!"
