Qian Yi sat alone in the teahouse for an afternoon, and read a few books over and over again, Yao Yi's revised edition, and a few other high-selling textbooks.

He has to consolidate his confidence, and at the same time, he has to think about how to overcome difficulties and get things done.

He didn't even dare to tell Yao Yi about the predicament he was facing now.

Because he was afraid that Yao Yi would question his ability and eventually lose this "dragon slaying knife".

He could feel that Yao Yi was extremely confident, he knew very well the level of "Word Deduction", and Yao Yi was definitely not the only one he could rely on.

People like Yao Yi will be extremely efficient and definitely don't like to waste time in mud.

Yao Yi made it very clear that he would not look for someone else until he clarified it on his side.

The subtext of this sentence is, "If you don't know what you do, then I can't blame you." ”

In the next few days, he was busy improving the revised version with excellence, and he kept meeting with Yao Yi to come up with the third, fourth and final editions together.

At the same time, he grinded Liu Wende and Xiang Wannan almost every day, trying to persuade these two people, at least to read the manuscript first.

There were indeed more and more rumors about him in the unit, but he didn't care so much.

Qian Yi knew that this was an extremely important opportunity in his life.

If you miss it, you will regret it for life!

Huang Xiaoqin may be right, he does have blood burning in his heart.

He insisted on doing something that seemed almost meaningless to others, even contrary to common sense.

He even gambled on his career.

Everyone didn't understand what was wrong with him.

Even if you're determined to publish this book, why can't you give in?

Why can't you put pressure on the author himself in reverse?

You have to put the pressure on yourself and challenge the conventions of the industry like Don Quixote.

Can't you take it easy?

You are the editor-in-chief who holds the power of life and death of the author, you can't do it!

Qian Yi looked at the cold eyes of others, and listened to the rumors outside in his ears.

But he wanted to say that it was easy to say the word slow, but you don't know what a terrible chronic poison it is.

Many people who live a mediocre life lose all their lives to the bad problem of slowing down trouble!

Qian Yi held the final printout in his hand, stood in front of Liu Wende's office door, and took a deep breath.

In the office hall behind him, countless pairs of eyes were quietly watching him.

There is confusion, schadenfreude, sympathy, and gnashing of teeth in these eyes.

No one thought that Qian Yi would fight to this point.

"Brother Liu, I changed it with the author for a few more days, this is the final version, you can take a look. ”

Qian Yi pushed the door in and put the booklet, which was not a heavy booklet, with a few hundred pages, on Liu Wende's desk.

Liu Wende withdrew his gaze from his computer and became angry, "What are you doing! You have to go to the capital the day after tomorrow, you don't make preparations for Yueran's side first, and you are still making trouble here! Qian Yi, Qian Yi, it's not me talking about you, you're too confused." ”

Editor-in-chief Liu scolded with hatred, he was really disappointed in Qian Yi's old man for many years, and suddenly he broke the shaft inexplicably.

Qian Yi's face did not change, "Brother Liu, how many years have we known each other?"

Editor-in-Chief Liu was stunned for a moment, and then fell into memory, "It's been almost ten years." At that time, I was a newly promoted editor-in-chief, and you were my intern editor-in-chief. Let's get up early and touch the dark together, and it's not easy to get to today, so you have to cherish the present even more. You don't know that Huang Xiaoqin has been jumping up and down all day long recently, she wants to take advantage of your illness and kill you, and she has to arch you down. ”

After speaking, Liu Wende lowered his voice.

Qian Yi nodded, "I know all this." But I still have to say that if we miss this opportunity, our society will lose another ten years! And we will never be able to turn over, and we can only get more and more difficult to endure in the general environment of shrinking physical publishing! Brother Liu, after so many years, I have been unreliable in doing things, don't you know? Take a look at this manuscript? This time I studed, and I bet all on this book. ”

Liu Wende's eyes widened, and he finally slowly stretched out his hand, and he couldn't believe it, "This book is really worth the first printing of 100,000 copies?"

He muttered, not knowing whether he was asking Qian Yi or himself.

Liu Wende finally put the book in front of him, and looked at his watch again, "There are still four hours before getting off work, and I will give you all these four hours." But I have to go to the train station to pick up my dad after work, and I don't have to work overtime today. ”

"I've seen my uncle, Brother Liu, I'll help you pick up your uncle and go back to your house, you read. Sister-in-law at home, right?"

"Uh...... Damn, I've got you. At home, don't be late for the train at 5:40. ”

"Gotcha!"

At ten o'clock that night, Liu Wende knocked on the door of Xiang Wannan, the general manager of the same community.

Xiang Wannan, who was wearing pajamas, yawned, "Lao Liu, what kind of plane are you doing?" I'm going to sleep after watching this episode. ”

Liu Wende's face was flushed, "Sleep, you are paralyzed!"

"Fuck, how do you scold people!"

"Damn, I'm too excited to control it! I'm telling you, we're both bad pens! I'm so paralyzed, it's really a big bad pen!"

"you, you don't even let yourself go!

Liu Wende was already trembling and squeezed into Xiang Wannan's living room, and was watching the ending song of "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" on TV.

"his grandma, I don't know what to do when I have time to watch this mentally handicapped drama. ”

Xiang Wannan was also angry, "You have something to say, I'm doing something right! I don't want to analyze what young people like nowadays when I watch this drama? I can't stand watching this drama, but you can't stand it!"

"Shhhhh ”

Xiang Wannan hammered him on the shoulder, "Then don't you give me a loud voice first? Why don't you tell me clearly today, believe it or not, I will let you go to the red tour on behalf of our company next time?"

Liu Wende trembled, and then hurriedly dragged Xiang Wannan into his study, "Don't, brother, I was wrong." ”

After speaking, Editor-in-Chief Liu slapped the book on the table and spread out the final version of "Word Deduction".

His eyes were shining, and his hands grabbed Xiang Wannan's shoulders uncontrollably, "Damn, Lao Xiang, we have dug up the treasure this time! No, it was Qian Yi, the immortal, who picked up a big leak!"

Xiang Wannan looked suspiciously at the "Word Deduction Method" printed in bold Song script on the cover, "What do you mean?

Liu Wende took a deep breath, "The tiger is going to turn the sky upside down! If we are the Chinese team, this book will be Milu, and it can bring us into the World Cup! If it weren't for Qian Yi's insistence this time, we would have to smoke ourselves every day in the future!"

Yao Yi is really poisonous, he first let Qian Yi work all night with this book, and only a few days later, and the two old men planted it in his book.

But Qian Yi was very nervous that night, although Liu Wende was very excited, he didn't call Qian Yi too excitedly before going to Xiang Wannan's house.

So, the two old men stayed up late, and the night of tossing and turning passed like this.

Early the next morning, Qian Yi received a call and entered the unit as quickly as possible.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he arrived at Xiang Wannan's office, when other colleagues had barely arrived.

The two big leaders were sitting in the office, and Qian Yi suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Liu Wende wanted to speak and stopped, but he still coughed lightly to the general manager of Wannan and said: "Xiao Qian, Lao Liu read the manuscript yesterday, and he also thinks that this book is good and can be published." But I personally think that after all, he Yao Yi is a fledgling rookie author, and he gave 100,000 first prints and 18 royalties at once, which is a bit out of line. ”

Qian Yi swallowed, "What do you mean by Manager Xiang?"

"You talk to him, I personally think that 50,000 copies of the first printing is enough to be interesting, and if he insists on it, then reduce his royalties to twelve. In our business, isn't it just a business to negotiate with the author, bargaining is a matter of course, and he can't do whatever he wants. ”

Qian Yi was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly, "Well, this, Yao Yi's situation is a bit special, I'm afraid it's not easy to talk about." ”

"What can be special? The king of heaven and Lao Tzu also have to be reasonable, right, if you really can't talk about it. Then I'll read his book and forget it. ”

Xiang Wannan patted the final bound book on the table.

Qian Yi keenly found that the staple on it had been replaced, and it was not the square needle he used before.

This means that the book has been photocopied.

Xiang Wannan suddenly turned his head and asked Liu Wende beside him, "By the way, Lao Liu, aren't you quite familiar with Teacher Ouyang from the English Department of Shangjing Normal School, I see that you will go back and ask someone out for dinner." Recently, domestic English textbooks have been a bit lacking, and we can make a fuss about it. By the way, Qian Yi, if you're okay, go out, you communicate with the other party first, if it doesn't work, forget it. ”

Qian Yi's back was cold, he felt cold sweat dripping, and his feet were weak when he walked out holding the booklet.

After closing the door, Liu Wende hesitated a little and said, "Wouldn't this be too ruthless?" ”

Xiang Wannan shrugged, "I'll scare him, lest he forget his position and patronize the author." This kind of thing has a super bad reputation, of course we can't really do it. ”

"Well, look at it. ”

Liu Wende sighed.

Xiang Wannan patted the old man's shoulder, "So we have different divisions of labor and different positions." Otherwise, why are you a cultural person, and you are the editor-in-chief? I'm the general manager, I'm a businessman, so I'll be the bad guy, and you'll be the good guy. Go back and appease him, I personally think it's better to keep the royalties down, after all, the more you sell, the bigger the amount of money involved!"

The two old slippery heads didn't know that Qian Yi was really frightened, and after going out, he went straight to the stairwell and called Yao Yi.

"Yao Yi, you have to come to my club, something is wrong. You, the author, have to come forward and talk to my boss in person. ”

Yao Yi, who was wandering around the IT building pretending to be a salesman, nodded, "Cheng, I'm very close to your club, wait for me for twenty minutes." ”

Hanging up the phone, Qian Yi leaned against the wall of the stairwell, slowly slid down, and squatted on the ground.

can only do this, I hope that Yao Yi, the original author, can come forward so that Manager Xiang and Lao Liu will not be so frustrated, and they are a little jealous.

He held Yao Yi's manuscript with both hands, biting his lips tightly, and his eyes were a little rosy.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, Qian Yi has endured so many days under great pressure, but he didn't expect to crash into this situation.

Xiang Wannan and Liu Wende don't know that it is taboo?

Of course they do!

But if it really turns out to be that kind of result, find someone to imitate and borrow Yao Yi's writing book from Chinese to steal creative things.

It's hard for others to say, but he Qian Yi must have a bad reputation, and his friends won't have to do it in the future.

With the straight nature of my wife Chen Yiyue, I'm afraid she will be extremely disappointed in me.

The burden on his shoulders suddenly overloaded, and Qian Yi only felt so aggrieved and tired.

This is a world-shattering way!

It's obviously a good thing, why is it so bullshit?
