As Liu Jingting expected, not long after the author on the side of Chang Youdao rejected the manuscript, there was also an author who was "unwell" on the side of Qingjiao, and Liu Jingting had to gather everyone for a meeting.

"I can't understand," Xu Qing said in disbelief with her left hand under her right arm and her chin in her right hand: "'Craftsman's Record' is the most famous, the manuscript fee is the most lucrative, even I think this is the most affordable magazine, what reason do they have to retreat?"

The executive editor-in-chief often has the same doubts, saying: "Even the Yellow River literature and art cannot be better than us." ”

"Could it be that someone offered the same price as Lin Tiange?" asked Kang Lingyue.

"Impossible, first of all, it turned out to be a wrong deal; secondly, we have a clear advantage now by pushing new people and new works; finally, Lin Tiange rebelled at the beginning because he was jealous of Lao Liu, plus the little middle two in the bones of young people, and wanted to perform a heroic and decisive performance for himself, which is different from today's form. ”

Chang Youdao explained.

"Then what's the problem this time?" asked Xu Qing with her hands outstretched.

Everyone is focused on Liu Jingting, the editorial department of "Craftsman Record", Xu Qing is the oldest, has the most experience, and has the most experience in life, so she usually dominates the office as a big sister;

Several other people, Xiao Qingyu is obsessed with design research, and every day he is silent in drawings and structures, and his desk is full of magazines and other crafts from all over the world.

Kang Lingyue, who was born in a professional class, although the sensitivity of the text market is not high. However, her vision, appreciation and learning ability are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and her background in studying abroad has made her more open and flexible in thinking. In addition, in addition to her editorial work, she is now also working on comics;

In addition to the outstanding professional ability, the green pepper can stand out from so many applicants, and it also has a valuable blunt sensibility, which gives people a sense of sincerity and credibility, which shows Xiàn in the communication with the author. Although he doesn't have the eloquence of an agent, a few words can make people feel that the spring breeze is blowing and it is just right. Her storage zài can balance the flamboyant atmosphere of the office to a certain extent;

As for Yang Lilu, she is currently not in much contact with business, mainly responsible for the translation of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection". and Liu Jingting became famous overseas.

In a word, stop there. Several editors of the editorial department of "Craftsman Record" have their own characteristics and strengths, and they are all a group of outstanding characters, who usually do their work, and they will also have their own unique ideas and dare to express them. Doing the job of editing, you can get started very quickly. Not a big problem.

Until this moment, when the real problem appeared in front of them, everyone cast their eyes on Liu Jingting, including Chang Youdao, and no one could accurately say the root of the problem.

That's what the core is about.

Liu Jingting looked at the desktop with low eyebrows, was thinking, didn't seem to notice everyone's gaze, and after a while, he looked up at Xu Qing and said, "Aunt Qing, do you remember the first meeting?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "But I don't think Wu Qiguang has this energy." ”

"He didn't, the one he was directly responsible for, I was not angry for a while that day, I must have offended some old people by confronting him in front of him and mocking him," Liu Jingting mocked slightly: "That's the case, those old people criticize the young people for not having momentum, lamenting that the successor is difficult to find, and at the same time they hold on to the stick tightly, who dares to show their heads, immediately give a head to drink." ”

After Liu Jingting said this, everyone gradually had a clue, but they still couldn't connect.

"So how does it work?"

Liu Jingting laughed out loud and said: "You don't need to operate specifically, as long as you express your spirit, someone will do a good job of comprehension." ”

Xu Qing is clear, Chang You is clear, Qingjiao is enlightened, Xiao Qingyu's attention is obviously not in the meeting, and Kang Lingyue is slightly confused.

Xu Qing further explained: "At the meeting that day, you openly beat Wu Qiguang, so some people thought that you were young and frivolous, arrogant and arrogant, and if you want to become a talent, you still need to carve, so some people led this spirit to do it to you. ”

Chang Youdao continued: "But they are soberly aware that there is no excuse for controlling you now, and there is no way to achieve any effective results, so they will take action against your magazine again, and punish you with a small punishment and a big commandment?"

Qingjiao said: "Gu Da has the influence of their scruples, but other authors do not, as long as two sentences are revealed in an ominous manner, everyone naturally does not want to be affected for no reason." ”

Kang Lingyue asked, "I didn't understand what you were talking about. ”

Liu Jingting said with a smile: "Some people want to deal with our magazine, and they want to pull out our authors at the bottom of the kettle. ”

"Why did the author agree?"

"They threatened the author that I had offended the big people above and that I might be punished, and that all the writers of the magazine would be convicted together. ”

"There's no evidence, it's not legal. Kang Lingyue was puzzled.

Liu Jingting said with a smile: "The United States has always prided itself on democracy and the rule of law, but their own TV dramas admit that these two things are actually overestimated. ”

Kang Lingyue was silent.

"How do you deal with that?"

"Anyway, there is still a period of time before the next issue of the magazine comes out, so let's see how many authors are unwell. If my judgment is correct, this news has already been put on the network in disguise. ”

Chang Youdao subconsciously logged in to the Huashan Sword Forum, and then sure enough, he saw the titles of several posts, and broke the news that "Craftsman Record" offended the above in a cryptic tone, and he would soon be sanctioned, and the author might even be connected.

According to insiders, some authors have quit "Craftsman", and in the next issue, don't be surprised if you see some old authors disappearing. ”

"Serial scheme?" Chang Youdao, who is well versed in the urine nature of the forum, immediately found that connection.

Public opinion is like this, its original intention has never been to target people who understand, but to audiences who do not know the truth.

"Whose hand?" Chang Youdao asked, looking at Liu Jingting.

"What waters come from heaven?"

"Yellow River Literature and Art!" Xu Qing, Chang Youdao, and Qingjiao replied in unison.

……

It was worse than anyone could have imagined, and within the next week. Five fixed and irregular authors expressed their inability to continue to cooperate for various reasons, including Luo Chengan, who also regretted that he broke off the serialization on the grounds of "being busy with new films".

Because none of these authors have any contracts. So they go to stay at will.

At the same time, the rumors on the Internet are also intensifying, and it seems that "Craftsman's Record" is about to close, and even the most determined readers are beginning to worry about Gu Yongsheng.

The office of "Craftsman" is filled with unprecedented worry and confusion.

Why did you suddenly encounter this incident when you were on the rise and tomorrow was obviously better?

Liu Jingting now has no time to concentrate on this matter, after returning from the crew in a circle. Received an invitation from the United States, the World Cup finals are about to start, as the top seed. Naturally, you have to be there in person.

Liu Jingting unexpectedly did not refuse, he first gave everyone a holiday, and explained, "If someone asks about related matters, they will say that they are on vacation." Don't worry too much". Then he and Yang Lilu prepared to leave for the United States.

After all, it is different from the real World Cup, that game is not until the last moment, and it is difficult to predict the outcome of the game, and this reasoning World Cup is as early as the semi-finals, and the champion is already about to come out.

As the competition continued, the short stories of the Sherlock Holmes series were published one by one, and with requests from other magazines, the twelve stories of The History of Adventure came to an end. The powerful charm of Sherlock Holmes is like a beacon fire. Swept the entire Western world, "The Red-Haired Club", "Five Orange Cores", "Man with Crooked Lips" and other stories set off one frenzy after another in these countries, countless people began to believe that Sherlock Holmes was a real person, that the open American girl had openly shouted her wish to have a child for Sherlock Holmes, and that 221B Baker Street quickly became a world-famous attraction, and tourists from different countries came here in an attempt to meet the weirdo who went crazy without handling the case.

While lamenting the incredible magic of the Chinese boy, the British media directly joked with the headline: "Who will win the runner-up in this mystery novel World Cup, which is exciting!"

Obviously, they have regarded Liu Jingting as their own, because Sherlock Holmes was originally British.

So, to be precise, Liu Jingting and Yang Lilu came to the United States this time to attend the award ceremony.

……

"No amount of praise is superfluous, I just remind you of one thing, if you want to temporarily improve your IQ, I recommend that you immediately watch "Man with Crooked Lips", if you want to make this IQ last a little, finish reading the Sherlock Holmes series. Great Mr. Liu Jingting, I see you!"

The host looked at Liu Jingting's position seriously, bowed down, straightened his back, and pretended to be decisive to tear the envelope in his hand to pieces, and said: "So, I am going to tear up this inexplicable and pretentious final mystery in my hand now, because I saw hello and deduced the final truth - since it is a reasoning competition, since Liu Jingting participated in the competition, the champion cannot be someone else, gentlemen, ladies, I know you are confused and puzzled, don't worry, let me reveal the truth ......"

When the host was selling guanzi, the audience was already laughing, and shouted at the stage: "It's really enough!

"Who needs you to reveal?"

Because, of course, the champion is Liu Jingting.

About this, the whole world knew about it a long time ago.

When some people in China are actively campaigning to erase Liu Jingting's magazine, Liu Jingting is receiving the championship trophy abroad and winning glory for the country in the World Cup!

Therefore, when Liu Jingting delivered his acceptance speech, he seemed a little helpless and angry, he confessed: "I am very happy to get this cup, and I am even happier that everyone can be happy because of the story of Sherlock Holmes, and the happiest thing is that the story of Sherlock Holmes is far from over, and it will accompany everyone for a long time (thunderous applause and cheers)." ”

"However, today is not all happy, because my magazine is in some trouble, and I don't know the reason yet, so this makes me unhappy and even a little angry!"

There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and media reporters from more than a dozen countries immediately recorded the key word "anger".

……

This is the first time that Liu Jingting has publicly expressed his anger, and the world knows that he is angry. (To be continued......)
