章)Last night, a drizzling rain had just passed, and this morning the sky was gloomy, the light half-bright and half-hidden, flickering uncertainly.
An autumn rain brings a chill, and overnight, Sophia Bookman felt thecold seeping in, penetrating. Following the meridians and bones, it crawled up her spine, almost seeping into her bones.
This years autumn came earlier and was much colder than in previous years.
In the community, the osmanthus trees, full of rainwater, had lush green branches and leaves, full of vitality. Yellow-white flowers hid behind the verdant leaves, appearing and disappearing.
Driving out of the garage and passing by these osmanthus trees, Sophia couldnt help but take a few extra glances.
A breeze passed, and a few wisps of fragrance drifted into the car. She inhaled greedily, and her internal organs were all comfortable.
While waiting for the red light, she received a WeChat message from her best friend, Yvonne Dreamstream.
Yvonne Dreamstream: "Fish, are you going to the class reunion tonight?"
Sophia tightened her grip on her phone, her fingers pausing slightly, as she fell into contemplation because of this message.
Should she go or not?
To be honest, she was quite entangled!
A week ago, the class monitor, Lucas Smart, announced in the WeChat group that there would be a high school class reunion on Friday night, which is today.
Afraid that everyone wouldnt go, the class monitor also privately sent a message to every classmate, emphasizing that the class 17 teacher and subject teachers would attend, and everyone must attend on time.
Logically, Sophia has never liked this kind of class reunion. Those who are doing well boast, and those who are not well-off hide in the corner, drinking alone, and occasionally have to smile and accompany.
Its quite boring!
Therefore, she has never participated in any class reunions before, and has pushed them all away. However, this time she hesitated. Because the class monitor said that the head teacher, Jason Xingping, would attend.
Sophia was a top student and Jasons most proud student. When she was studying, Mr. Jason took care of her a lot. After graduating from high school, she went straight to Vancouver for study abroad, and then she has never found a suitable time to visit her teacher. She has always felt guilty about this.
This time, Mr. Jason is coming to the class reunion, and she should show up for a while.
Soon, the green light on the opposite side lit up, and the cars behind kept honking to urge.
Sophia quickly put down her phone and started the car.
The white car quickly merged into the traffic, and the buildings on both sides rushed past, leaving only a mottled silhouette.
She vaguely replied to her friend with a voice message, "Go!"
The road was a bit congested, and Sophia arrived at the publishing house on time after driving for more than ten minutes.
After parking the car, she quickly packed a cup of bubble tea at a milk tea shop across from the publishing house, medium cup, hot drink, half sugar.
She has liked to drink bubble tea, medium cup, hot drink, half sugar since she was in junior high school, and this habit has not changed for so many years. Nowadays, there are all kinds of flavors of milk tea, but she has always loved the simplest bubble tea.
People always stick to what they like at first glance. What she liked at first glance was bubble tea. She has never changed her preferences for so many years.
Carrying the milk tea, Sophia took the elevator to the 19th floor. As soon as she entered the publishing house, the editors greeted her enthusiastically, one by one: "Chief Editor, good morning!"
"Good morning!" She replied with a smile, her high heels clacking.
Sophia is the current chief editor of Thunderhearst Publishing. Thunderhearst Publishing is a subsidiary of Shengshi Media, founded by her cousin, Merchant Liheng.
Shengshi is the largest film and television media company in the southwest region at present, mainly focusing on film production and literary publishing. In addition to big-name artists such as Xu Musen and Ji Xiang, there are also big-name writers like Lemon Chu and Soft Winter.
Together with Yunmos Storm Media, they each occupy half of the market, one in the south and one in the north.
In the past two years, as paper media has declined, many publishing houses have not been able to withstand the pressure and have closed down one after another. However, Thunderhearst Publishing, backed by Shengshi, has a strong financial position and has always stood firm.
Sophia went to Vancouver as soon as she graduated from high school and has been drifting there for eight years. Later, she really couldnt stand her parents urging and finally returned to the country at the end of last year. At that time, Merchant Lihengs company was short of people, and as soon as she returned to the country, she was caught to manage Thunderhearst Publishing, and she served as the chief editor.
Her cousin really trusted her. He handed over such a large publishing house to her as soon as she came up. She was very frightened for this.
Who knew that the big boss waved his hand, and with great wealth and power, he said, "Its a sideline business, and it doesnt matter whether it makes money or not. Just treat it as a practice for you."
Sophia: "..."
Fortunately, Sophia majored in editing and publishing in university, and her major is exactly the same. She also has a few years of editing experience. Besides, there are several old editors in the publishing house who help her, and she quickly got started as the chief editor.
In one year, the results are not remarkable, but she has not dragged the publishing house down.
She took off her windbreaker, put away her bag, and leaned on the chair to drink milk tea.
Half sugar is just right, a little sweet, but not greasy. A large cup is not enough, and a small cup is a bit less, and a medium cup is moderate. The pearls are soft, glutinous, and chewy.
Sophia drank half of the milk tea and casually put it on the desk. She picked up her notebook and walked to the meeting room.
Its time, its time for the meeting.
The weekly meeting, unlike other companies, is held on Friday instead of Monday.
Thunderhearst Publishing is full of fresh blood, and the editors are generally under the age of thirty. The two old editors, Shen Nian and Qiao Qi, are only twenty-eight years old. The other editors are even younger.
Now that paper media is declining and the publishing industry is becoming less and less prosperous, being an editor requires sentiment. Without some sentiment and love, young people generally cant do it. Thunderhearst is a fresh team composed of young people with sentiment.
"Nian Nian, how many times have In This Life and Cicada Singing been reprinted this time?"
"Where is Three Joys going? Have you passed the second school?"
"Qi Qi, how is your talk with Ming Hu? How many words are you willing to sign?"
"Lin Lin, when will the new issue go to the printing factory?"
...
These are all things that have piled up in the publishing house last week. Sophia is meticulous and has to ask about them personally.
After the meeting, the editors work on their own, proofreading, reviewing, drawing, orderly, and harmonious.
Sophia went back to the office and finished the remaining half cup of milk tea. With a cup of milk tea, breakfast is completely saved.
Shen Nian Nian pushed open the office door and saw Sophia throwing an empty milk tea box into the trash can. She suddenly smiled, "Fish, you drink milk tea again, be careful of getting fat!"
Sophia shrugged her shoulders, not caring at all, "Fat is fat, anyway, I cant quit."
Shen Nian Nian: "..."
Their chief editor is really casual!
Shen Nian Nian got straight to the point and said, "Something happened with the soft goddess."
Sophias eyelids tightened, and she quickly asked, "Whats wrong with her?"
Shen Nian Nian: "Shes pregnant with her second child, and she vomited severely in the first three months. She cant touch the computer, and shes
