Chapter 434: I'm His Best Friend
Some things are hard to refuse.
For example, in the current situation, Han Li opened her mouth for Le Chao at the beginning, and asked Sun Quan to help Le Chao's new book recommend it to the publishing house.
Did Sun Quanhao refuse?
Han Li is Yuan Shuiqing's cousin, and Yuan Shuiqing is his daughter-in-law, Le Chao is not only his high school classmate, but also Han Li's male ticket, maybe he will become his brother-in-law in the future.
Therefore, although Sun Quan felt a little embarrassed, he still nodded, "Okay, do you want me to help him submit the manuscript?" Or should I give him the publishing house's submission email and let him submit it himself?"
Han Li glanced at Le Chao and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I'm still bothering you......"
As soon as Han Li's sentence began, Le Chao, who was sitting next to her, interrupted her words, Le Chao smiled on his face, and said to Sun Quan: "Sun Quan, I still don't bother you, you give me the publishing house's submission email and the editor's contact information, and by the way, help tell the editor of the publishing house that I am your good friend, hehe, I'll do it myself!
Han Li frowned and looked at him suspiciously, and reminded in a low voice, "Are you stupid? Let Xiao Quanzi help you submit, the success rate is higher." ”
Le Chao didn't answer, just shook his head slightly, still looking at Sun Quan with a smile on his face, waiting for Sun Quan's reply.
Several possibilities flashed through Sun Quan's mind for a moment.
1. Le Chao, this kid doesn't worry about me, afraid that I will keep his new book manuscript as my own? This kid asked me to help him read the new book, and instead of sending me the manuscript through QQ, he directly brought the computer over for me to read, which may also be due to this consideration.
Second, maybe this kid is not worried about me, but wants to get the contact information of the editor of the publishing house, and wants to be close to the editor.
Third, it may also be that this kid is not afraid that I will take his manuscript for himself, but that I am afraid that I will not be dedicated to helping him submit his manuscript and not help him say good things to the editor of the publishing house.
......
After a few possibilities flashed in his mind, Sun Quan just smiled and didn't question Le Chao, he didn't want to make the scene ugly.
As for Le Chao's careful thinking, he was not interested in studying it in detail, anyway, it didn't take much effort on his grandson, since Le Chao asked for it, then let him do it!
"Okay, then I'll go back and use QQ to send you the QQ number of the editor who received the manuscript! When the time comes, you can just send the manuscript directly to her QQ mailbox. ”
Han Li: "Brother-in-law, don't forget to help Le Chao say a few beautiful words!"
Han Li saw the stitches and reminded her.
Sun Quan was slightly helpless and nodded with a smile.
The goal was achieved, Han Li and Le Chao sat for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, because it was not easy to take a taxi in Qinglongwan Villa Park, Sun Quan arranged for Cai Yanan to drive them back to the city.
The entrance to the villa.
Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing stood side by side at the door and watched the car go away, Yuan Shuiqing suddenly spoke, "Husband, were you a little embarrassed just now?"
Sun Quanguan'er raised his hand to put his arm around her shoulder, turned his face to look at her, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Han Li is your cousin! Even if I don't look at her face, I have to agree to her request, not to mention that she called me a lot of brother-in-law today!"
Yuan Shuiqing shook his head slightly, his expression was a little helpless, and he also turned his face to look at him, "I know you're embarrassed, Lili is a little ignorant, she and that Le Chao ...... Actually, I'm not very optimistic, but she brought Le Chao to make such a request to you today......"
After a pause, Yuan Shuiqing sighed lightly, "I'll talk about her when I look back, don't let her do this next time, she and that Le Chao don't know if they can get married in the future, so let you help him like this......"
With that, she shook her head again.
Sun Quan patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, don't think about it so much, you better don't talk about her, so as not to spoil the relationship between the two sisters, and it's not a big deal." ”
Yuan Shuiqing turned around and walked towards the courtyard, and said as he walked: "Don't worry about this, just now in front of Le Chao, I didn't stop you from agreeing to her, I already saved face for her, but this matter is not an example, if you say it, then she begs you, I have no opinion, but this is to let you help ask others, things are not done like this." ”
What is the experience of a daughter-in-law having her own mind and acting with her own principles?
Sun Quan felt it at this time, he said he didn't care, she didn't have to be more serious.
He was a little helpless, but he was also very happy.
Because his daughter-in-law was thinking about him and didn't want him to beg for help.
Does he need to ask for help?
Actually, no.
In the afternoon of the same day, when he returned to the Salted Fish Studio, he boarded QQ and sent the QQ number of Qinghe, the receiving editor of Pioneer Publishing House, to Le Chao.
Then he sent a private message to Qinghe, "Beauty, let me tell you something, I have a high school classmate who has also embarked on the road of no return to online writing, he knows that I have published a few books, so he asked me to introduce him to the editor of a publishing house, you are unlucky, I gave him your QQ number, and he should add you when I turn around."
That's the way it is, that's what it is.
Well, I don't mean anything else, can his manuscript be passed, you just follow your process, I wish you a successful cooperation!"
At the end of the text message, he attached a smiley emoji.
A few minutes later, Qinghe replied to him - "Understood, hehe, this kind of thing is inevitable, there are often old authors who introduce their friends to me, it's okay, I won't be too much to contribute, thank you!"
Sun Quan sent her another smiley face.
For him, that's all he can do to help Le Chao.
Therefore, Yuan Shuiqing's worries are unnecessary.
Is this a plea?
In fact, the longer he has been in this industry, the more Sun Quan knows a reality: in this industry, it is useless to ask for help.
He himself has experienced it before, there has been no recommendation for a long time, and he begged the editor to give one, but the editor pretended not to be there and did not reply at all.
The book hit the street, and he wanted a little more monthly ticket to support the scene, and a single chapter asking for tickets was sent out, and the monthly ticket barely rose, and then he felt ashamed and silently deleted the single chapter asking for tickets.
There is also the example of others, he once knew a new author, and every time he released a new book, he wrote "ask for collection" at the end of the title of each chapter.
The result?
When there are 10,000 or 20,000 words, the collection is in the single digits, and when there are more than 100,000 words, the number of collectors is only a few dozen.
Therefore, Sun Quan didn't say to Qinghe: For my sake, give my classmate's book a draft!
Because he knew that even if he said so, if the quality of Le Chao's manuscript failed to impress the review editor, the final result would still not pass the draft.
Publishing houses are not charitable, they don't look at anyone's face, and they can easily give people manuscripts.
......
In the evening of the same day, Sun Quan wrote the manuscript of the second chapter in the afternoon and habitually appeared on QQ.
received a few private messages from Qinghe more than three hours ago.
The content of the first private message is a screenshot of her chatting with Le Chao QQ.
In this screenshot, Le Chao said: "Hello, I am the best friend of Salted Fish and My Old Sun, he should have told you about me, right? I wrote not much shorter than him, I often communicate with him, for example, my recent new book, in the subject matter and outline part, I asked him to help revise it several times, the content part, he also gave me a lot of opinions, by the way, if I give you a contribution, what do you need to do? Submit your QQ mailbox? I heard that the submission is about 60,000 words? The outline is also wanted, right?"
The content of the second private message was written by Qing He himself: "This is really your best friend?
The third private message was written by Qing He: "Hehe, if what he said is true, then I must make a note with my colleagues who review the manuscript, and the probability of passing the manuscript will definitely be much higher." ”
The fourth is just a smiley face.
Sun Quan looked a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that Le Chao would receive the editor's QQ, and he would have this idea.
When did he become my best friend?
When did I help him revise the subject matter and outline several times?
I've also given a lot of comments on the content part?
Shaking his head speechlessly, at this moment, Sun Quan's understanding of Le Chao was refreshed, is this the way smart people do things?
Sure enough, it's smart enough.
But he was so smart, when he said this, he didn't think that Qinghe might come to me for verification?
Or is he sure that I am looking at Han Li and Yuan Shuiqing's face, even if Qinghe comes to verify with me, I will definitely help him fulfill this lie?
Is this going to kill me?
Pouting slightly, Sun Quan replied to Qinghe, "This guy is usually humorous and likes to joke, just get used to it." ”
Unexpectedly, Qinghe was still online at this time.
Qinghe: "......"
Qinghe: "So what he told me is all fake?"
Salted fish and my grandson: "Let's put it this way, he did show me at the beginning of this new book, there are still new ideas, maybe you can really publish it, but I didn't participate in the theme, outline and body part of the book, you just follow the normal process to review him." ”
After about two minutes, Qinghe: "Okay! I see, thank you for your reply, and thank you again for introducing me to the author." ”
Sun Quan replied with a smile.
He didn't help Le Chao lie, but he didn't deliberately belittle Le Chao's "God of Fighting", he told the truth.
principle, not only his daughter-in-law Yuan Shuiqing has, but also his grandson.
His principles do not allow him to help others lie.
Because that consumes the trust of others in his grandson.
One day, when Qing He learned that he had lied to Le Chao today, what his Sun Quan said in the future, how much would Qing He dare to trust?
Le Chao is his classmate, and he is Han Li's male ticket, that's right!
But Qinghe has been dealing with him for two or three years, not to mention friendship, how can he be regarded as a partner who works happily together, can he help Le Chao pit Qinghe?
The most important thing is because of Le Chao's move, which makes him unhappy.
Behind his back, under the banner of Sun Quan, you Le Chao has increased the success rate of the draft, but have you ever thought that you are cheating me?
I don't expect you to thank me when I introduce you to the editor of the publishing house, but at least you can't fool me, right?
