For a smoker, when he is in a bad mood, he will smoke, and when he is in a good mood, he will subconsciously take out a cigarette to smoke.

At this time, Lu Yang, who was in a happy mood, subconsciously took out his cigarette case and popped out a cigarette to light it.

In the smoke rising from the cigarette, Lu Yang habitually narrowed his eyes, and his squinted eyes were still looking at the email on the screen.

Two publishers have already agreed to publish his new book.

Do you want to sign a contract with one of them?

Smoking a cigarette in his mouth, Lu Yang was already thinking about this in his mind.

As mentioned earlier, these two publishing houses are the two publishers that Lu Yang knows of have the fastest review speed in Taiwan.

At the same time, they are also the two with the lowest acceptance standards.

And the reason why they have the lowest standard for receiving manuscripts is naturally only one reason -- they can't grab excellent manuscripts, and they can't compete with a few other stronger publishing houses.

In other words, the strength of these two publishing houses in Taiwan's publishing industry is relatively weak.

A book can only be signed to one family.

Do you want to sign one of the two?

Lu Yang didn't think about it for long, and he made a decision in his heart.

Wait!

Lu Yang said to himself in his heart.

Although E Publishing House was the owner of his first work published before his rebirth. But its strength is relatively weak after all, and it will close its doors after a few years, so it is not a good choice.

The strength of F Publishing House is not far from E Publishing House, so Lu Yang plans to wait.

As early as a day or two after Lu Yang's five submission letters were sent, the five publishing houses gave a brief reply. The content of the reply has nothing to do with the review results, but only tells Lu Yang that they have received Lu Yang's submission, and they will reply within how long the review is over.

A Publishing House is a very powerful publishing house in Lu Yang's memory, but they generally only publish works by very famous writers.

The strength of B and C is also very strong, and there are many works by god-level authors who have published.

The review deadline for them and the reply to Lu Yang from Publishing House A is 15 working days, and Lu Yang has to wait almost 20 days except for the two weekends that are not working days in between.

Thinking that he would have to wait another week or so, Lu Yang was a little worried that if all three refused to publish it, E Publishing House and F Publishing House would change their minds because of the long waiting time, and they would no longer be willing to publish his work.

However, this worry did not make Lu Yang change his mind.

It is very likely that A publishing house will refuse, but Lu Yang feels that at least one of B publishing houses and C publishing houses should be able to take a fancy to his works.

After smoking a cigarette, Lu Yang turned off the computer, got up and left the Internet café.

Lu Yang did not give an answer to the signing requirements of E Publishing House and F Publishing House, when he had not read the two emails.

For the next week, Lu Yang's heart was a little worried and irritable.

I'm afraid that things that have been able to be published will be variable.

Every day after evening class, when Lu Yang was writing in the No. 3 teaching building, his mood was affected, and sometimes, he opened the manuscript paper and held a pencil, but because of his mental disorder, he could not enter the state of writing.

This situation, over time, becomes more and more severe.

Yan zhòng arrived, for a few moments, Lu Yang couldn't help but want to get up and go to the Xingyu Internet Cafe, reply to one of the two publishing houses, and agree to sign the contract.

Anyway, whichever publishing house the first work is signed at, the manuscript fee you can get is about the same.

However, the thought did not waver for a long time, and Lu Yang quickly calmed down his disordered mind again, continued to stick to the first decision, and continued to wait.

A week passed in such a state of mind.

In the past week, Lu Yang did not go to the Internet café once.

Even writing until more than 12 o'clock in the evening every night, obviously very hungry, Lu Yang endured to stop going to the back door of the school to buy food like he did a few days ago.

I took the written manuscript directly back to the dormitory to make instant noodles.

Because Lu Yang was afraid that when he walked to the back door of the school and approached the Internet café, he would shake his decision again, and he couldn't help but walk into the Internet café and agree to one of the publishing houses to sign a contract.

Once the contract is signed, it is almost impossible to change it.

After the last class on the afternoon of the seventh day, Lu Yang took a pen and paper as usual and came to the classroom where he stayed every day in the No. 3 teaching building, the position he was used to sitting.

Spread out the snow-white manuscript paper, holding the freshly sharpened pencil, but he couldn't put down the pen for a long time.

What I thought in my heart was no longer the plot of a novel.

What I have in my head is the replies of the remaining 3 publishers.

They should all reply today, right?

You won't all three refuse to publish it, right?

As long as one agrees!

All I have in my head are similar thoughts.

After this situation lasted for more than half an hour, Lu Yang found that his heart still couldn't enter the ethereal state of writing, and in a fit of anger, he slapped the pencil in his hand on the desk in front of him with a "snap".

A good pencil was shot into three pieces at once.

"Damn! I'm not going to write it! I'll see the results now!"

Lu Yang suddenly got up, grabbed the manuscript paper and teacup casually, and strode downstairs.

Lu Yang originally planned to write two chapters of the manuscript today like a few days ago, and then go to the Internet café to check the reply.

But he overestimated his concentration.

Thinking that the three publishing houses might have replied, his heart was always in a state of gain and loss, and he couldn't enter the state of writing at all.

When he found that it was impossible for him to continue writing tonight, Lu Yang's heart was crossed and he decided not to write tonight!

If all three publishers refuse to publish it, and the two publishers change their minds, then no matter how much he writes this novel in the future, it will not make much sense.

And if it can be published smoothly, then it doesn't matter if you don't write it tonight.

It didn't take long for Lu Yang to come to the Xingyu Internet Cafe.

Skillfully swipe the card, turn on the phone, and log in to NetEase Mail.

A few things, Lu Yang quickly finished.

Lu Yang saw that there were 7 new emails displayed in the inbox of the mailbox.

7 ......

This amount completely exceeded Lu Yang's expectations.

Shouldn't it be 3 letters?

Lu Yang didn't know why there were 4 more letters, and this situation completely exceeded his expectations.

For a while, I couldn't help but wonder: Did E Publishing House and F Publishing House change their minds and cancel their intention to sign because I didn't agree to sign the contract for so long?

As soon as this thought came out, Lu Yang's heart couldn't help but sink downward.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yang secretly gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, took out the cigarette box in his arms, popped out a cigarette and lit it, and after taking two deep breaths, he stabilized his mind and clicked on the inbox with a computer mouse.

When the inbox opened, there were 7 new emails displayed, and sure enough, 4 were sent by E and F publishers, and 2 were sent from each house.

The other three, as he expected, were replies from three other publishers.

Lu Yang hesitated slightly, which email to click first.

After only two seconds of hesitation, Lu Yang clicked on the reply of A Publishing House first.

I regret to inform you that your work "Doomsday Wasteland" has not met the standards of our publication, and I look forward to your better works, and you are welcome to submit them again. - Seraph"

As Lu Yang expected, Publishing House A, which has always adhered to the famous line, rejected his manuscript.

My heart was cold.

Although he had expected such a reply for a long time, when he really saw the rejected text, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yang clicked on the reply of B Publishing House again.

"To Wen Choujun: The manuscript has been collectively reviewed by the editorial department of our agency, and it is a pity that it does not meet the standards of our publication, and I hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. - Starry sky reflection. ”

Seeing this reply, Lu Yang's heart was even more cold.

At this time, Lu Yang could not contain a feeling of remorse in his heart.

Why do you regret that you are so confident, and you have to wait for the reply from these three publishing houses, wouldn't it be better to sign a contract with one of the first two publishing houses? Anyway, whoever you sign it to, the manuscript fee for the first book is about the same, regardless of whether the strength of the publishing house is strong or weak?

There is also a reply from C Press......

With the last hope, Lu Yang clicked on the reply letter from C Publishing House.

If C Publishing House also refuses, even if it can be published in one of the first two publishing houses in the end, Lu Yang's confidence will be greatly hit.

Because, that result means that he was reborn 10 years ago, and his level of writing novels can only meet the minimum publishing standards of ordinary small publishing houses in Taiwan.

He's not as good as he thinks.

"Hello Wen Choujun! Your work "Doomsday Wasteland" has been strictly reviewed for a period of 15 working days, and has been approved by the editorial department of our agency.
