"Very good, just prepare a bit and come to work directly tomorrow!" Wang Yi and Bai Yujing stood up, shook hands with Xu Ying, and saw Xu Ying smiling as she walked out of the office with her bag.
Wang Yi immediately turned to Bai Yujing: "Look at you, the red flag at home is still standing, while the colorful flags are flying outside. Who was it that said they wouldn't need any contact methods? In the blink of an eye, you've hooked up with someone. What do you call this? Pretending to be innocent, you know? Old Bai, your little reserved nature has been completely exposed in front of me."
Bai Yujing quickly replied: "It was purely a coincidence that I ran into her, and I just happened to know she studies Administrative Management. I thought, isn't it just right that we need someone in that area? So I let her come and give it a try. Didn't you just say she was very professional?"
"How can there be so many coincidences? Why don't you say it's a fateful encounter? Do you think you're the male lead in a movie? But I have to admit, Xu Ying is indeed very professional; having her as our administrative staff would be a waste!" Wang Yi glanced disdainfully at Bai Yujing before saying seriously.
Bai Yujing nodded: "Yeah, it really is a waste. You should give her more responsibilities; as part of the exploiting class, how can we tolerate such waste!"
"You are the exploiting class!"
Wang Yi suddenly remembered something: "Old Bai, your novel seems to be selling quite well recently. I've been out shopping a few times and couldn't buy one; they're all sold out!"
Bai Yujing immediately scoffed: "Hmph, the first print run was only 80,000 copies. My editor told me it was intentionally created to give a false impression of scarcity, and then used as a gimmick for promotion. They call this what? Business operation."
"Regardless, that's impressive; you're a well-known author now. Sounds quite prestigious!" Wang Yi filled Bai Yujing's cup with tea and then said, "But I've pre-ordered a hundred copies online; I still don't know when they'll arrive!"
Bai Yujing looked up: "Why are you buying so many? Didn't I give you a set?"
Wang Yi shook his head: "One set isn't enough; everyone in the company needs their own copy. You're our company's symbol, and we need to keep some for future visitors or VIPs; each one should get two sets."
Bai Yujing said: "You're thinking quite far ahead!"
Sitting on the sofa, seeing Wang Yi take a few more phone calls, Bai Yujing quickly signed a pile of documents on the table and arranged for someone to send them out via express delivery. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Bai Yujing realized he hadn’t done much work and had been keeping Wang Yi busy all day. After a long time, Wang Yi finally sat down and said, "I heard you on the phone yesterday saying you’re preparing to go out again? Where are you planning to go this time?"
Bai Yujing smiled and replied, "I haven't decided yet, but it should be to Japan, the capital we've both dreamed of since childhood, the paradise of adult films. Finally, I'm going to visit the filming location and properly critique this capital that has corrupted several generations of our youth!"
Wang Yi immediately dropped his mouth open and put down his cup. "Wow, Old Bai, you're really asking for trouble! I see you're not going there to critique; you're going to join them, right? Honestly confess, have you been seduced by Little Devil's sweet talk or fallen for some female spy's beauty trap?"
"I'm clearly going there to bring glory to our country!"
"No way, I can't accept this! Why should I work myself to death here in the country, running around like a dog while you’re abroad enjoying yourself with beautiful women, eating turkey and smoking cigars? And now you're going to see our enlightening teacher—what gives?"
After some playful banter, Bai Yujing went downstairs. The shops on the first floor had already been cleared out. After renovation and decoration, this place would become the first brand experience store for the Hunter brand.
Bai Yujing strolled around, satisfied with his vision for the future before driving away. Just as he returned home, he noticed Xu Keke standing outside the community gate. "Editor Xu, what brings you here?"
Bai Yujing stopped the car, never expecting Xu Keke would come to his doorstep. Upon seeing Bai Yujing, Xu Keke rushed over. "Oh my gosh, Little Bai, you’re finally back! I almost got sunburned waiting here."
Having gotten used to Xu Keke's somewhat effeminate way of speaking, Bai Yujing felt no discomfort and took Xu Keke back home. "Editor Xu, why did you come looking for me today without even sending a message? If I had known you were coming over, I would have picked you up!"
"I tried calling your phone but couldn’t get through. When I found out you weren’t home either, I had no choice but to wait at your door. I'm here to share some good news: the first print run of 80,000 copies sold out completely! The pre-order numbers on all major websites have now reached 300,000 copies. We expect sales in the first week could reach 500,000 copies. Little Bai, you're famous!" Xu Keke exclaimed excitedly.
However, Bai Yujing felt that the term "you've become popular" had been used quite a lot and didn't hold much meaning anymore. Bai Yujing had heard this phrase dozens of times, spoken by different people. With fifty thousand copies sold in the first week, it indeed seemed like a considerable achievement. Bai Yujing wasn't very familiar with this market but understood that it should be a very good result; otherwise, Xu Keke wouldn't have personally come to deliver this good news.
In fact, Bai Yujing had already become a top-tier writer under Rihsi Publishing House, and the influence was not something an ordinary author could compare to. Previously, the travel monthly magazine "Travel the World" had a monthly sales volume of three hundred thousand. After featuring an issue of Bai Yujing's gx Journey, which included a wealth of exclusive images and information, the sales doubled, greatly uplifting Rihsi Publishing House. As Bai Yujing's editor, Xu Keke's status within the publishing house also rose accordingly, making it impossible for her not to take it seriously.
"The publishing house has decided to release an overseas edition as soon as possible. Xiao Bai, your English is quite good, so the magazine wants you to do the translation yourself. This way, we can maximize the preservation of the original author's style. Your writing skills are also very impressive; all the editors in the office have high hopes for you!" Xu Keke said.
Bai Yujing nodded, "Sure, but I have some things to take care of these next few days. I'll get it done as soon as possible!"
"Also, regarding the story for this issue of gx Journey, as the second volume of Treasure Hunter, you need to write it out quickly!" Xu Keke then threw out another reminder for submission.
"Ah! That's too many things! I haven't even started on the second volume yet!"
"This volume isn't too urgent; just make sure to hand it over to us before the end of the year. However, we need to prepare for promotion and other arrangements in advance..."
Bai Yujing sent the chattering Xu Keke out the door and finally let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Yujing ran upstairs and opened the door to the study. There were still some tasks left unfinished. However, at the moment Bai Yujing pushed open the study door, he was suddenly startled—someone had opened his study door; someone had been here!
There were many important pieces of information in the study. Although Bai Yujing had memorized some key details without writing them down, the information contained within absolutely could not be leaked. Bai Yujing cautiously pushed open the door and carefully looked inside!
