Chapter 417 Newspaper Reform
Seeing that Li Qin understood her, the woman's gaze towards him immediately softened.
However, the necessary tasks cannot be skipped.
The woman nodded to Li Qin, then went to contact Manager Huang.
In fact, Li Qin had not made any arrangements with this Manager Huang.
However, Li Qin believed that as long as the woman mentioned his name, she would definitely be willing to meet him.
Because he has already incorporated his identity into the other person's memory.
Sure enough, the woman from before soon returned to Li Qin's presence, though her expression remained largely unchanged this time.
But his eyes were no longer as wary as before, and his tone of voice had become much more amiable.
"Mr. Li, I have already contacted Manager Huang, and he is waiting for you in his office."
Li Qin nodded to indicate that he understood.
At this moment, the woman spoke again:
"Mr. Li, would you like me to take you upstairs?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Qin immediately nodded:
"Then I'll have to trouble you. This is my first time visiting your newspaper office, and I'm not very familiar with it. I really don't know where Manager Huang's office is."
After hearing this, the woman first gently shook her head, then pointed towards the elevator.
"Mr. Li, this way please!"
Li Qin nodded and then walked forward in the direction the other person pointed.
With the woman leading the way, Li Qin quickly arrived outside Manager Huang's office:
"This is Manager Huang's office, Mr. Li. Please go in. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
The woman nodded to Li Qin again, then turned and left.
Li Qin glanced at the other person's back, then looked away and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
A voice came from inside the office the next second.
Since the other party had given their permission, Li Qin naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony any longer, and he immediately pushed open the door and entered the office.
After entering, he casually closed the office door again.
"Mr. Li, you've arrived! Please have a seat!"
Upon seeing Li Qin, Manager Huang, who had never met him before, immediately stood up from his desk and walked out from behind it.
He greeted Li Qin with a smile.
Li Qin smiled and nodded to the other party.
He then sat down on the sofa where guests were being entertained.
"Mr. Li, is there anything I can do for you today?"
Manager Huang poured Li Qin a cup of tea, then went straight to the point and asked Li Qin why he had come.
"I've come here primarily to discuss cooperation with your newspaper."
Li Qin didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:
"I've written a novel during my free time and I'd like to publish it serially in Ta Kung Pao."
Upon hearing this, Manager Huang's smile faded slightly. He glanced at Li Qin with some embarrassment, then said softly:
"Mr. Li may not know that our Ta Kung Pao is a bit special; we don't have a fiction column, but our subsidiary newspaper, Xin Wan Bao, does."
If Mr. Li needs assistance, I can help him make the contact.
Li Qin naturally knew that the Xinwanbao newspaper could publish novels, and he was very confident that once he sent his copy of the novel to the editorial department of the Xinwanbao newspaper...
It will definitely be able to be published smoothly.
But doing so would be tantamount to robbing Jin Yong.
Li Qin felt a little embarrassed about copying the other person's novel; how could he possibly be willing to do such a thing?
So after hearing what Manager Huang said, Li Qin shook his head directly:
"No need, I just want to publish it in Ta Kung Pao."
Manager Huang's face immediately showed a troubled expression.
Because his memories had been altered, he dared not, and did not even want to, refuse and offend Li Qin.
However, it is also a fact that Ta Kung Pao does not have a fiction column.
This put Manager Huang in a difficult position.
Li Qin also noticed this, and then spoke again:
"If Manager Huang can't make the decision about publishing the novel, then why don't you find someone who can? Just say that I, Li Qiu, want to publish the novel."
I think they all know what to do.
Upon hearing Li Qin's confident words, Manager Huang's pupils constricted.
After a brief moment of thought, his reluctance to offend Li Qin prevailed, and he immediately said to Li Qin:
"Then please have a seat for a while, Mr. Li. I'll go and report this to the president."
Manager Huang cannot make the decision on this matter; he can only report it to higher authorities. The final decision rests with the higher-ups.
That's beyond his control.
Li Qin nodded slightly, then waved to Manager Huang, indicating that he could do as he pleased.
Upon seeing this, Manager Huang disregarded everything else and hurriedly left the office to find the president.
The president, or many other members of the newspaper's management team, are often absent.
However, since Li Qin had already decided yesterday to come to the newspaper office today to finalize the publication of his novel, he visited these people last night.
They used some suggestive tactics to get all these leaders to come to the newspaper office today.
Compared to Manager Huang's predicament, Li Qin appeared quite calm and composed.
Or rather, quite confident.
It seems that when he announced his intention to publish the novel, he knew that Ta Kung Pao would definitely agree.
In fact it is.
Last night, when interfering with the memories of high-ranking leaders, Li Qin not only added his own existence to their memories.
It also directly incorporated the fact that he would publish novels.
At the same time, he also hinted at a solution to these people.
That would mean making some changes to the current Ta Kung Pao newspaper and adding a small fiction column.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to reform a long-established newspaper like Ta Kung Pao, which has been in circulation for decades.
However, because of Li Qin, all the higher-ups would agree to this.
That's why he wasn't worried at all.
And the events unfolded exactly as Li Qin had predicted.
After Manager Huang reported Li Qin's situation, the president immediately convened a discussion meeting.
There were no objections at the meeting regarding Li Qin's plan to publish his novel in the Ta Kung Pao newspaper;
The proposal to launch a fiction column in Ta Kung Pao was also unanimously approved.
And so, the publication of the novel was settled in a strange atmosphere.
When Manager Huang returned from the conference room, he still had a bewildered look on his face.
When he saw Li Qin, his expression changed slightly.
A hint of awe flashed in his eyes.
He never imagined that Li Qin's desire to publish a novel in Ta Kung Pao would actually drive reforms at the newspaper.
Although it was just a small reform, it was still quite remarkable.
Most importantly, on this matter, not a single person, from top to bottom, held an opposing opinion.
It was as if it had been agreed upon in advance.
However, Manager Huang has no time to think about those things now.
Now that the matter of launching the novel column has been finalized, the next step is to finalize the details of the novel's publication with Li Qin.
Manager Huang composed himself, then smiled and said to Li Qin:
"Mr. Li, the leadership has approved the publication of your novel in Ta Kung Pao. Now let's discuss the details."
Because he already knew that Ta Kung Pao would agree, Li Qin was not surprised at all when he heard the information brought back by Manager Huang.
