Haidu, a hundred-story building.

In the huge office, people come and go, and it is very lively.

Li Hu's face was filled with excitement.

When he was in college, he dreamed of becoming an editor of this literary website, and now he has finally succeeded in the interview and has become an editor.

Today is the first day of work, and looking at the lively office in front of him, he clenched his fists.

My dream has finally come true!

"Du Ming, come here!"

The editor-in-chief who brought Li Hu to the office shouted loudly, and a young man walked over quickly.

"Du Ming, his name is Li Hu, the new urban editor, you take him and help him get familiar with the business as soon as possible and work normally. The editor-in-chief said.

"Okay. Du Mingchao Li Hu nodded and said to him, "Come with me." ”

Li Hu's desk is next to Du Ming, so it is convenient for Du Ming to take him.

"You have to choose an editor name first, you know?" Du Ming said.

"Brother Du, what should I choose?" Li Hu nodded, and then asked.

Du Ming said: "We urban editors are used to using food as names, such as me, called green beans, you can just take one." ”

Li Hu nodded silently, opened his personal homepage, logged in to CC chat, thought about it, and entered the word Pidou.

"Take a good name, start reading the manuscript, generally the author is put in the mailbox, you have just joined, definitely not, so you go to the homepage of the website to find, find those who have not signed a contract, but you think it is okay, just write down the name, and then I will help you analyze, which can be signed, which can not be signed, remember, more than 100,000 words, basically cross-reviewed many times, unqualified, no need to read. ”

"Thank you, Dugo, I see. ”

Li Hu said gratefully, and began to browse the books that had not yet been signed.

The so-called Maxima is common, Bole is not common, Li Hu feels that he is not suitable for writing books, because he can't write it, but he feels that he can find an author who is suitable for writing a book and cultivate him into a god-level author.

With this dream in mind, he began a very boring review work.

I read it one by one, and some of the first chapters didn't finish it, and he felt that it was not good, so he passed it directly.

And some books he thinks he can, so he will read a few more to see the ideas and brains of the author in the follow-up.

When he turned to a book called "I Suddenly Opened the Hang", Li Hu was stunned for a moment.

300,000 words, but you haven't signed a contract yet, and you still have the perseverance to write it down?

Generally speaking, the author writes more than 100,000 words, and if he can't sign a contract, he will not continue to write, but reopen the book.

There are very few who can write 300,000 words and have not signed a contract, but still have the perseverance to write.

Thinking of what Du Ming said, Li Hu planned to click the fork and not look at it.

But at this moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the name of the protagonist: Xu Chen.

"Xu Chen, is it a coincidence?"

With a hint of curiosity, Li Hu clicked on the book.

It doesn't waste much time to take a look, does it?

"Well, this opening is actually okay, the author's writing is okay......" Li Hu read the first chapter and couldn't help but read the second chapter.

After reading the first three chapters, Li Hu was surprised.

The first three chapters of this book are still well written, how can they not meet the signing requirements?

Li Hu continued to watch.

This look, it's almost an afternoon.

The author's brain hole is very good, the writing is okay, dare to think and dare to write, but why, can't you sign a contract?

"Brother Du, can you help me read this book?I think it's well written, why can't you sign a contract?" Li Hu called out to Du Ming, who was stretching his waist.

Du Ming tilted his head and looked, and then snorted: "This author can't do it." ”

"What do you mean?" Du Ming blinked, becoming more and more puzzled.

Du Ming said: "He used to be my editor, using an author's name other than the name, but the identity information in the background is the same, four years, four books, no improvement at all, miserable, I used to look at him He had a lot of perseverance, so he signed a contract, and then saw that it was really unproductive, so he gave up, he couldn't write any hit books, don't bother with him." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, you're a newcomer, you don't know much about this industry, the editor-in-chief asked me to take you, and I will do my duty, if you don't listen to me, then you can love what you like." With that, Du Ming turned his head and ignored Li Hu again.

Li Hu hesitated.

He felt that this book still had potential, and he had just arrived, so he should make some achievements.

Du Ming, on the other hand, felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and couldn't help but recall the nightmare he had more than a month ago.

In the dream, there was a blue-haired young man who couldn't see clearly, holding a huge scythe, and said viciously that he couldn't sign Xu Chen's book in the future, otherwise he would be killed.

After waking up, Du Ming found that his hair was broken and spread on the pillow, which was very scary.

Anyway, Xu Chen is also a useless thing, and no one reads the book he wrote, so he can't make himself uncomfortable for such a street.

So, in Du Ming's heart, Xu Chen was completely blacklisted.

And other urban editors, who once laughed at Du Ming because of Xu Chen, naturally did not sign Xu Chen.

Therefore, it is very sad that Xu Chen's book has not been edited at all, so it went directly into the cold palace.

Xu Chen didn't want to write on other websites, but he felt that where he fell, he should get up from there.

So he's going to die.

It is not easy for people who admit death to give up, but once they give up, they are really disheartened.

In fact, Xu Chen is not far from being disheartened now.

300,000 words have not yet been signed, and he has become a joke in the chat group where some authors gather, and people give him the nickname Emperor of Perseverance.

This is not a compliment, but a belittlement and ridicule.

Internet writers have no human rights, but among online writers, the authors who hit the street look down on even their peers.

Xu Chen, in this industry, is the kind that is completely at the bottom!

"I want to try. Li Hu took a deep breath and said to Du Ming seriously.

Du Ming's face changed slightly, and he sneered: "Newcomer, don't blame me for not telling you, if you want to sign this book, you have to be mentally prepared, newcomers have an assessment period, if you can't pass the assessment, you will still be fired, do you understand?"

"I understand, but ......" Li Hu clenched his fists: "I think this book can be signed!"

"Hehe, whatever you want, is it worth it to fight the street and gamble on your own job for a death?" Du Ming got up with his coffee cup and left.

Li Hu could see that the direction he was going in was the editor-in-chief's office!

His face turned slightly pale, and Li Hu asked himself: "Is it worth it?" For the sake of an irrelevant person, I finally joined the company, so should I be dismissed?"

Looking at those words over and over again, Li Hu exhaled and showed a lazy smile: "Forget it, it's just work, I believe in my vision, and I believe in the name Xu Chen!"
