Chapter 7, Fun Children's Publishing House

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Until one year ago, several authors from the Fun Children's Magazine suddenly announced that they would stop writing for the Fun Children's Magazine and instead join Sunshine Children's Publishing House

Li Fan is examining the changes in the tomatoes. Last night, he watered them again with spring water.

Hearing his daughter say this, Tang Quan felt a warmth in his heart. Regardless of the quality, he was content simply because his daughter had this intention.

Wonderful, daughter, wonderful, this fairy tale is wonderful. This will definitely be a classic. Daughter, where did you hear this from

Is that so? Then you say, Dad, listen.

The Fun Children was founded solely by Tang Quan and has experienced a period of brilliance.

... ...

Upon entering the space, the small dog in my arms emitted a joyful whimper, seemingly particularly fond of this place

Su Qing knew him, and they used to meet often. However, this girl recently went to the countryside to teach.

Thinking of this, Li Fan entered the space holding the puppy. His spiritual entity is capable of bringing animals inside.

Mom, let me take care of this dog," Li Fan said

Tang Quan took a sip of water, rubbed his brow, and felt somewhat fatigued, "Is it really impossible?"

Yang Jie did not pay any attention to the comments from the outside world and her peers

However, it is ultimately a drop in the bucket, which is simply too little for a publishing house

In the president's office, Tang Quan was reviewing the manuscript in his hands, "As expected, the quality is still quite mediocre"

Among them is the renowned "Little Fairy Tale King" Yang Jie, who has cultivated children's interest in literature.

Well, daughter, please thank that girl for me. If possible, I would like to visit that gentleman

His name is Liu Yun, and he has been with the magazine for two years

Alas! The young man sighed, "There are still no good works."

I heard that he is going into the mountains. Neither my father nor my mother opposed it; they only reminded him not to go to places that are not frequently visited by people, as the villagers no longer hunt, and the dangerous animals in the mountains have increased.

Having left the space, my mother is already preparing dinner, and my father has also returned

Tang Quanyue's eyes grew brighter as he listened; once his daughter finished speaking, he stood up excitedly

He hoped that the president could find a solution, preferably by locating an excellent children's story writer who could provide contributions on a long-term basis. Liu Yun thought this way, but he also knew that it was very difficult.

The president is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a square face that appears somewhat weary, thick black eyebrows, and a slight stubble.

He does not allow the magazine to decline. However, there are currently too few good fairy tale works, although occasionally one can find one or two excellent pieces among a large number of submissions

In the past, their Fun Children's Magazine Publishing House published "Fun Children," which was one of the magazines for children in the Southwest region with the largest circulation, with each issue exceeding 300,000 copies in circulation

Tomorrow, Li Fan primarily has two plans for entering the mountains. The first is to go up the mountain and transplant some wildflowers and wild fruit trees into the space, otherwise the space is bare and lacks vitality, which is quite unpleasant to look at

This left Tang Quan feeling very unwilling

Uh, in a moment of excitement, I actually forgot my current reputation points, and I still can't afford a Spirit Awakening Pill. " Li Fan looked at the puppy in his arms and sighed helplessly, "You little guy, for now, there's no way to take this.

By the way, isn't there a Spirit Awakening Pill in the mall system? I wonder what would happen if this guy took it

The comments from the media and netizens regarding this matter are mixed; some believe that such actions fundamentally violate the principles of being a person. Others strongly support Yang Jie, arguing that there is nothing wrong with her actions, and questioning whether one must remain with their old employer for a lifetime

He feels that there is no longer any need for him to compete with those "ordinary authors"

"Hehe, how is Dad? The story is great, right? It was Qinqing who told me, she said it was said by a student’s brother in her class," the daughter explained.

Since we cannot afford the Qi Ling Dan, let the little one stay in the space for a while

Unfortunately, as Yang Jie’s fame grew, no author was able to compete with her any longer

Yang Jie’s action was secretly scorned by her peers

He did not look at the young man, clearly lost in thought

"Alright, President, please take care to rest as well," the young man said before stepping out and gently closing the door

Secondly, this fellow intends to try his luck to see if he can find a wild ginseng plant. This is because he has realized that the more than 20,000 yuan he has saved is nearly depleted. In order to quickly earn his first sum of money, the first thing that comes to his mind is wild ginseng.

This sudden incident caught the Fun Children's program off guard

In the past, Sunshine Children's Publishing House and Fun Children's Publishing House were always fierce rivals, with both having similar distribution volumes, maintaining a long-term competitive relationship

Well, I trust Dad. However, Dad, I have a fairy tale here that I think is quite good. Let me tell it to you.

Dogs are truly sincere friends of humanity. He deeply agrees with this statement

In the tomato field in front of Li Fan's house in San Sheng Village

The circulation is increasingly poor

Just said: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Liu. It is already after work hours, you should go home and rest early."

Mom and Dad, I want to tell you something. I plan to go into the mountains for a while tomorrow. I haven't been there for a long time and would like to take a look.

Mother saw Li Fan from a distance and replied, "The puppy from the Wu family has turned one month old and is being given away. I noticed this little rascal was quite clever, so I brought one back."

A young man pushed open the door and placed the A4 paper on the desk in front of the president

Now, being so overwhelmingly crushed by a once evenly matched opponent, the other party still relies on authors who were cultivated and made famous by one's own magazine

There is a slight issue, but you need not worry about these matters; Dad will take care of it

A magazine issue must feature at least one or two outstanding works as its highlights

Although I have a publishing house, I am unable to offer much assistance

The brother of the student, Qingtian? He is both a student and a brother, which left Tang Quan somewhat puzzled

"Master, the space contains a special spiritual energy that is beneficial for the growth of animals; they will instinctively be drawn to this place," Xiao Zhou explained, looking at the puppy in Li Fan's arms.

Wild ginseng generally grows in pristine forests at altitudes of 1,000 to 2,000 meters, and has very strict environmental requirements. Li Fan did not hold much hope, treating it as a chance encounter, because he had heard from the village elders that someone had previously discovered wild ginseng on Baiyun Mountain

"Mom, what are you holding?" Li Fan asked

Is that so? No wonder this fellow seems to really like it here. If it were to grow up in this environment, I wonder if any mutations would occur. Spiritual energy, it sounds quite sophisticated.

Eventually, those authors gradually stopped contributing to the magazine.

"Please come in." A deep voice from inside belonged to a middle-aged man

In three days, it will be the release date of the next issue, and we have yet to finalize the manuscript.

A young man wearing glasses, holding a stack of printed A4 papers, knocked on the door of the president's office

Today's tomatoes have not changed significantly compared to yesterday, which instead relieved Li Fan

After some thought, Li Fan said to Xiao Zhou: "Xiao Zhou, I will place this little fellow here for a while, please keep an eye on it for me"

Yangguang Children's Publishing House has seen an unstoppable rise due to the joining of Yang Jie and others. The circulation has been increasing, with the last issue surpassing 800,000 copies, and the distribution has expanded to all parts of the country. It has become the largest publisher of children's magazines in terms of circulation in the nation

He feels a sense of guilt towards his daughter, as he was previously preoccupied with work and paid little attention to her. Now that his daughter has grown up and enjoys singing, she still finds it difficult to stand out.

Li Fan returned home with the dog, and the more he looked at this little fellow, the cuter he found it

As for how the outside world perceives him, he has never cared.

Li Fan stood up and was about to go back when he suddenly noticed that his mother was holding something in her arms, coming back from the pond.

President, this is a selection of the more outstanding works we have chosen for your review

Yang Jie rose to fame with Fun Children, but after achieving success, he abandoned his former employer to join the archrival Sunshine Children. The reasons for this decision, aside from the high salary offered by Sunshine Children, seem to also include past grievances from Fun Children.

The former competitors have been completely crushed, leaving no trace behind.

Over the past year, he and the chief editor, Xie Peng, have utilized all their connections and have indeed contacted several fairy tale authors willing to contribute, which has sustained them for a period of time

"Alright, Master, please rest assured." The little spell also appeared very happy. Having a puppy around is certainly better than being alone.

In the provincial capital, within a certain office building

When Tang Quan was suffering from a headache, his phone suddenly rang. Upon checking, he saw it was a call from his daughter, and he quickly answered it

The puppy lay in Li Fan's arms, happily whimpering a sound.

Alright, Dad will be back soon

Well, however, I am not very clear about the specific situation. I have already asked Su Qing to inquire, and I will provide you with more details later.

Currently, children's interests can only find works for publication among a large number of submissions

With the absence of quality fairy tale works, we can only select a few relatively better pieces from a large number of submissions for publication

The Spirit Awakening Pill requires 50 points of reputation

The "excellent" works he just submitted are merely considered so in comparison to other works, even though they meet the minimum requirements for publication. However, if every issue of the magazine contains such works, readers are certainly unlikely to be pleased

The little one has just turned one month old, with a round and plump body. Its head and tail are deep brown, while its body is white, resembling a white coat. Its eyes are pitch black, indeed giving a very elfin impression

It seems that although the spatial spring water is miraculous, it is not excessively extraordinary. It will not transform these mundane fruits into true celestial fruits. Henceforth, it can be used with confidence

The fairy tale is titled "The Tortoise and the Hare" ... ... '' The voice of my daughter came through the phone

I know, Dad, please come back soon, we are still waiting for you to have dinner.

Unfortunately, the circulation has been decreasing over the past year, with the last issue's circulation falling below 20,000

Tang Quan did not expect that his daughter would tell him about such a classic work

Li Fan felt a surge of joy upon hearing this. He has always had a fondness for dogs

The main reason is that several authors who have long been contributing to the magazine were lured away by Sunshine Children's Publishing House with high offers

"Hehe, Dad, are you still troubled by the matter of your work?" A tall girl said into the phone in a certain community

Certainly, most of those who support her are fans of Yang Jie. After being crowned the "Little Fairy Tale King," Yang Jie has also gained a considerable number of fans

"Yingying, is there something you need to call your father about?" Tang Quan inquired

This may be the magazine's last chance, and I must seize it

Let me take a look. Li Fan hurriedly approached and took the puppy from his mother's hands

Mother knew that her son had always liked dogs, so she said: "Alright, you can raise one. It can also help guard the house in the future"
