Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 631 Humanized Work Environment
The visiting group stayed in the hotel for two days, and Yang Fengxia took care of everything in the group, and Zhang Zhong, the deputy head of the group, had a high degree of freedom.

On the first day, the family adjusted in the hotel for a day, and they didn't go out for a walk until the second day.

Although New York is bustling, there is nothing interesting to do, and Peng Peng and the others have been here before, and there is nothing special about it except for shopping.

After shopping with his family during the day, Zhang Zhong leaned in front of the computer at night and started writing a new book.

This time, Zhang Zhong's signing tour in the United States has two stops in the United States, namely Los Angeles and Chicago, and New York is not included, so he is not busy these days.

When the New York side ends and the delegation arrives in Los Angeles, he will be busy.

……

"Literary News" is a worldwide newspaper, with editions in more than 60 languages ​​around the world.

They have their own separate building.

When Zhang Zhong and the others arrived, Gosling, the president of the "Literary News", led a dozen people to welcome him at the door.

"Welcome to the Literary News."

Gosling is more than 50 years old, but his face is not old, and there are no wrinkles on his face.

As for his silver hair, it is said that it has always been like this, and it is probably juvenile white.

Yang Fengxia shook hands with Gosling, "President Gosling, we have come to trouble you this time."

The English that Gosling spoke just now was very simple, and Yang Fengxia could understand it without a translator, but at this time, Gosling could only roughly understand her own name when Yang Fengxia said it.

The translator next to him translated Yang Fengxia's words, and Gosling smiled, "You are welcome, Chairman Yang. This is what we should do. I hope we are not rude this time."

As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Zhang Zhong again, "Hello, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Zhong shook hands with him, "Hello, President Gosling."

Gosling wanted to chat with Zhang Zhong, but the occasion was not right. On the one hand, the visiting group was headed by Yang Fengxia;

"The two regiment leaders, and all the envoys, the one next to me is Mr. Carlisle..."

Gosling probably briefly introduced the people next to him, and everyone walked into the building together.

At this time, Gosling took the opportunity to approach Zhang Zhong, "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you will hold a book signing in Los Angeles in a few days?"

Zhang Chong didn't know what Gosling was talking about at this time, but he still replied, "Well, according to the schedule, we will go directly to Los Angeles after leaving Columbia University, and I will hold my personal signing event by the way."

"Then I would like to congratulate you in advance on the successful signing. Our main office area is on the second floor, and we will be there soon..."

Gosling's words made Zhang Chong a little confused. He suddenly asked what he said just now, and then congratulated him in a flat manner, making people unable to understand what he wanted to say.

In fact, Zhang Zhong wanted to ask Gosling why Yang Xiao, who picked them up the day before yesterday, didn't come today, but now they have gone up the spiral staircase to the second floor, and Gosling also started to introduce their office location, so these words are not inappropriate. It is convenient to ask.

A work unit like "Literary News" is not a labor-intensive place.

From the outside, the whole building can hold a lot of employees, but when they actually entered, they found that the inside was a little more empty than they imagined.

The main office area on the second floor is okay, but there is basically nothing on the third and fourth floors.

Moreover, there are too many leisure areas in the newspaper office. Basically, every time you walk for a while, you can see a place similar to a tea room.

Some floors are also equipped with gymnasiums, game rooms, sleeping rooms...

If they hadn't known that this was the office of the "Literary News", Zhang Zhong and the others might have thought it was a leisure shopping mall.

Looks like there are more coffee machines than printers here.

The layout here reminded Zhang Zhong of the scene when he visited Lin Lin's newspaper office. At that time, Lin Lin's newspaper office was just a start-up, and most of the employees were not in place, but all the entertainment facilities in the newspaper office were in place.

After walking around in a circle, the Writers Association delegation was invited into a conference room.

This meeting room is big enough, but there are too many people on both sides, there is no way but to let some people sit in the back with a chair.

Fortunately, the arrangement of the newspaper office is very good, and the additional chairs are placed together, with a small square table in the middle.

As soon as they entered the meeting room, a staff member gave each of them a headset. In order to facilitate communication, the newspaper office arranged simultaneous translation.

After the two sides sat down, Gosling said with a smile: "On behalf of the local writers that all the members of the "Literary News" have invited, I welcome all friends from the Huaxia Writers Association to come to the United States and come to our newspaper."

"As early as ten years ago, our newspaper office had already had contact with the Huaxia Writers Association. In the past ten years, we have also received several visiting groups, but obviously this time the scale is the largest in ten years, which makes us feel Very honorable."

"In the past few years, Huaxia Literature has always attracted the attention of literature lovers all over the world. Last year, our newspaper office conducted a data survey. In the first half of last year, American readers had the most contact with literature from Huaxia. work."

When he said this, Gosling glanced at Zhang Zhong intentionally or unintentionally.

The meaning is obvious, in the past two years, Zhang Zhong's commerciality is unquestionable.

Although it was simultaneous interpretation, it still lagged behind, so many people in Huaxia reacted a little slower.

When the translation was over, the people on Huaxia's side also looked at Zhang Zhong.

In fact, Zhang Zhong's influence in traditional literature is not as great as that in popular literature.

Otherwise, Carlisle would not have only commented on Zhang Zhong's "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" and "Border Town".

So far, Zhang Zhong's most influential traditional literary works in the world are "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" and "Sophie's World", followed by "Ordinary World".

Moreover, "Sophie's World" also took advantage of the history of philosophy, but in fact it is a little less literary.

Gosling talked for a long time, but he was just being polite.

After he finished speaking, Yang Fengxia took over.

"Since I became the chairman of the Huaxia Writers Association, I have organized more than a dozen visiting groups to the United States, and two of them were received by the "Literary News". Therefore, we have special feelings for your company. I believe that after During these few exchanges, the friendship between the Huaxia Writers Association and your society will deepen day by day, and will last forever. This visit is also the largest since I took office..."

Gosling talked for a long time as being polite, and Yang Fengxia didn't give in. She talked about the relationship between the two families for a long time, and finally praised the "Literary News".

Zhang Zhong was bored, but he also understood that if he really came up to attack Huanglong directly, he would not be used to it.
