"So when are you planning to start?" Xiao Yun asked Li Yun curiously.
"In the next few days. Help me apply for the online novel website qualification and register the website trademark."
"What's it called?"
"Potato Novel Network."
"Ew, how tacky!"
Li Yun choked on his tea, taken aback by his sister's disdain. He coughed a couple of times, then smiled awkwardly, "It's called being down-to-earth, don't you understand? And help me recruit some talent, I'll personally interview them."
"Fine, just you wait," Xiao Yun rolled her eyes.
Then she called her secretary, gave some instructions, and left the office.
Li Yun returned to the parent company in the afternoon.
The business license for Potato Novel Network was obtained in no time.
The efficiency was shockingly fast.
No choice, who told him that this great Buddha's every move was now being watched by the leaders above.
Whatever he wanted to do, it was destined to be done on a grand scale.

Qin Huaidong, male, 40 years old.
Former editor of 17K Novel Network, I won't mention his previous editor code name.
He had been looking for a job for three days now.
Sitting in front of his laptop at home, he was idly browsing job sites.
At his awkward age, finding a stable job was not easy.
Although he had a wealth of editing experience, the current era was trending towards younger employees.
Therefore, after learning his age.
Many online novel companies rejected him.
For the sake of his family, he had to lower his requirements little by little.
Now, he was even willing to take a look at new websites.
Just then.
The hand moving his mouse paused.
He actually found a recruitment advertisement for a new online novel company.
"Potato Novel Network?" He didn't care that the novel website name was so down-to-earth.
He clicked in to browse the other party's recruitment information.
The parent company was Yuqing Weile Catering Co., Ltd.
"Huh? A catering company is crossing over to do online novels? Isn't this a joke?" But why does this name sound so familiar?
He scratched the Mediterranean on his head.
And continued to browse.
The recruitment content was as follows:
Need 5 chief editors with rich online novel editing experience, 30 editors, 4 operations staff, 5 customer service staff, 2 receptionists, and 1 cleaner.
"Cleaner?" Qin Huaidong twitched the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
What kind of fairy company is this, actually directly recruiting cleaners on this kind of recruitment website?
The treatment is quite good.
Adopting a base salary plus commission approach.
In the short few minutes he browsed, more than a hundred resumes had been submitted.
He immediately gasped.
"No way? It's just a new online novel website, and so many people are rushing to go there? What's the background of this company?"
Thinking of this, he checked it on Tianyan.
He didn't know until he checked, but he was shocked.
Parent company Yuqing Weile Catering Co., Ltd.
There are many subsidiaries, Simply Order takeaway platform, [Yunhai] short video platform, Simply Order Electronics Factory, Mountain City Noble Diamond Beer, etc.
All are under this company.
And this Potato Novel Network is a newly created branch.
He sat up straight.
This new website is actually a big crocodile, it seems the online literature world is going to change.
He quickly submitted his electronic resume.
Soon he received an interview invitation text message.
That was fast.
He was a little apprehensive, after all, his age was there, and he didn't know if the other party would reject him for this reason.

Early the next morning.
Qin Huaidong, amidst his wife's nagging, took his paper materials and went out.
The plane ticket was for 10:00 AM.
When he arrived in Chongqing, it was already past 3:00 PM.
The interview location was at the parent company of Yuqing Weile.
There were many people coming for the interview in the afternoon.
He stood out from the crowd of young editors.
As soon as Li Yun walked into the reception room, he focused his attention on him.
So he said with a smile: "This gentleman, can I have a private chat with you? I am one of today's interviewers."
"Okay, thank you," Qin Huaidong didn't know that the young man in front of him was the biggest boss of this company.
The others had never seen Li Yun either.
After all, Li Yun rarely showed his face outside, and most of the time Xiao Yun handled some major events.
So only internal employees knew that he was the real big boss.
After arriving at Li Yun's office.
Qin Huaidong handed his personal paper materials to Li Yun.
Seeing that the other party just casually glanced through them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the other party didn't care about the age issue.
"Mr. Qin, this is the thing, our Potato Novel Network is a newly established novel website. The position you applied for is chief editor. I have a few questions I want to test you on."
"Please, go ahead."
Qin Huaidong looked at Li Yun nervously.
Seeing that he quickly stabilized his emotions, Li Yun nodded with a smile. This is the attitude that a veteran in the workplace should have.
Those young editors in the reception room not far away still have a lot to learn.
"I would like to hear your opinion on 'cool' literature, or 'idiot' literature."
Idiot literature?
Qin Huaidong frowned slightly. This era is not very friendly to idiot literature.
Especially under the influence of the giant mountain of Qidian, although idiot literature also has a market, its development has not been very good in recent years.
Just look at Feilu to know.
The quality of the works varies, not to mention that it is also full of a lot of heretical things.
It is even jokingly called Feilu-style online literature by insiders.
"I think idiot literature is not without its merits. Even during my time in the industry, I would sometimes look at those strangely conceived 'cool' novels in my spare time. Sometimes I would be shocked by their active thinking..."
Qin Huaidong objectively stated some of his understanding and views on idiot literature.
And there was no hint of belittling in his words. On the contrary, he was quite optimistic about idiot literature, believing that readers need to break away from traditional literature and see more interesting stories.
Writing novels is not about sticking to old conventions.
Constantly innovating and constantly encouraging more online novel authors to create novel online novel styles is the future of the online literature world.
The good and bad of a work is defined by the readers.
Rather than being defined by a certain website and editor.
It can be said that Qin Huaidong's words completely spoke to Li Yun's heart.
Online literature should not stick to old conventions, but constantly innovate and constantly open up the active thinking of readers and authors.
Let everyone see more interesting stories, which is what their online novel industry people should do.
"Good! You are right, that's what I think too. Online literature should not be limited to inherent traditional thinking. So what if it's heretical? We should encourage authors to write more interesting stories."
"Instead of restricting their divergent thinking and restricting their innovation! You are hired!"
