"Is it too late to write, how much is it going to be?"

"Less than 30,000 words. The sooner the better. ”

"That's long...... How long is it?can't you write?" Yue Qingyan scratched his head, writing is not fun. Although he is free to find a suitable story to fill in, thinking of that story and being able to write it completely by himself are completely different things.

"Say it in the conference room. Ah Yue took Yue Qingyan into the full conference room. And the stunned is still arguing in the conference room;

"I told you, I really don't know about copyright. Besides, isn't everyone printing books like this? You say that the quality of the two new articles is not good, but I think the writing is okay. You're just editors, why don't you think about the reader from the perspective of the market?"

Seeing Ah Yue sitting down in the corner of the conference room with a young man, he immediately pointed at Yue Qingyan and said, "This is the young author you found? So fast? If you want to praise people, you can just say it, and now the newcomer dares to take it out and step on my face?

The boss of Mingqian Company sat in the conference room without brushing his sleeves because he was waiting for Yue Qingyan. He had already read Yue Qingyan's three manuscripts, so he agreed to bring him directly and ask him to help save the scene as much as possible. Now, how can you let Jing Zhen disregard Yue Qingyan's face so much? Moreover, Jing Zhen's words make it clear that he is already relying on his qualifications and popularity to question the professional level of the entire Ming Qian Company.

Lian Xingjie snorted and said in a low voice: "How are you writing, I don't know what to do? If it weren't for the special circumstances, I would have paid a penalty for this book." You take out Director Dong to press me, and I will give this face. Director Dong is probably reading your book now, but he doesn't know what it is? In my opinion, Xiao Yue's manuscripts, as far as I have seen, are better than yours. ”

Stunned, he was angry: "Then you just let me be this puppet? If the newcomer doesn't work, I'll take the blame, and you will pick up the cheap when you come out?"

Even Xingjie laughed happily: "Do you want to be ashamed? You are stuck in this time to deliver the manuscript, aren't you just betting that we can't do anything about it? I can only follow the manuscript you gave, and finish the three reviews and three proofreadings as soon as possible and go directly to the factory? It's too late, I won't print, and I will pay liquidated damages at the printing factory and reschedule. ”

When Yue Qingyan heard this, the two sides were going to quarrel? This attitude of the sting made him very unhappy, it is true that he is a newcomer, but at least a newcomer is an individual first, and he should be respected. He originally had a very ordinary perception of the sting, but when he was told like this, he was even more unhappy. This stunning, this kind of dead-skinned face, where does he have the demeanor of a senior in the circle?

Yue Qingyan asked aloud: "Director Ah Yue didn't have time to say just now, I just heard that I was asked to provide the manuscript, and the time is tight. Can you ask what the hell is going on?"

Yue Qingyan looked at Ah Yue, and Ah Yue looked at Lian Xingjie. Lian Xingjie sighed and said, "Not only is time tight, but it is also very troublesome to write." After 11 days, the factory will start printing, even if there are three shifts here, it will take at least 7 days to review and proofread three times. That's only four days, and it's up to four and a half days at the latest. The gap in our manuscript is about 35,000. ”

Yue Qingyan did the math, 35,000 in four days...... Well, if it's at the speed of the web article, it's actually fine. But this is a real way to publish, and short stories are difficult, really hard. In terms of length, it is said that he was given less than 30,000 words, but in fact, it is estimated that he can write more than 10,000 words. After all, Ah Yue and Xu Yingying both knew the speed at which he wrote those two articles before. They'll have to look for other authors. But four days, it's really hanging.

"This ...... It's really difficult. Four and a half days. What if the time is given two to three more days, and the review is carried out while writing?" Yue Qingyan asked. "Maybe I'll be more relaxed that way. Thirty-five thousand, leave it all to me. ”

There was an uproar in the conference room. This newcomer is crazy. Three and a half days in 35,000 is already an unimaginably high speed for traditional publishing, and it is still necessary to maintain extremely high-quality short stories. It is true that the process of reviewing while writing is not impossible, but it means that what is written down cannot be changed. This pressure is so explosive that I don't know where it is.

However, even so, even the festival did not feel impossible. He stopped the people in the other departments who were about to retort and said, "Really? It's no joke." ”

Shocked and angry, he shouted, "That's how you humiliated me." Okay, I got it. ”

Lian Xingjie glanced sideways, and said lightly: "Write the preface and send it over, and I will ask for it the day after tomorrow." Leave the rest alone. ”

"Okay, okay! The sting flicked away.

Yue Qingyan knew that this time with this shock, the knot was not small. He supported the scene for Ming Qian, and he really needs to show enough level. Even, come up with enough levels to shock everyone.

"I don't know. I have a short story in my head, a few thousand words. Or try it first. ”

"You write it here, and when you're done, you go straight to the review. If this one is fine, it's fine. I'll bet on you with the remaining 30,000 words. Lian Xingjie didn't hesitate much, and immediately made a decision. "Everyone go out, Xu Yingying, Ah Yue, you prepare an environment for him to write. ”

Ah Yue and Xu Yingying were still in a state of confusion, who would have thought that their boss would really dare to agree to such a thing, and say something like that to the stunned. Sting this big mouth, go out and definitely tell the situation out. If Yue Qingyan's manuscript can't hold down the scene, then Mingqian's reputation will be over.

"Boss, it's a bit big. Ah Yue smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, everyone has no way out." ”

"The publishing industry is already like this, it's either big or die, and I don't have time to accompany these guys to stay on the bandwagon. Lian Xingjie said and went out: "It's time to start." ”

The conference room was immediately emptied.

"What do you need?" Ah Yue turned to Yue Qingyan: "The computer and monitor will be moved over and installed, and the network cable will also be pulled." What do you want for a keyboard or mouse? Headphones or stereos, what about a chair, what do you drink?"

Yue Qingyan was stunned, at this time, he couldn't do it without pretending to be forced. Ah Yue's questions are all necessary elements for a professional writer to maintain his state and creation, and if he doesn't ask for anything, he will be more worried, worried about his professionalism and ability.

"The computer screen should be big enough, preferably dual-screen. Do you have an electrostatic capacitive keyboard here?"

"Yes, the owner used it himself. Realforce. I'm going to tear it down. After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she really ran to dismantle it.

"I didn't ask for a mouse, find me a wireless one. If there's a table mat that's big enough, give me one. The working surface of the keyboard and mouse is the same. As for chairs, the swivel chair in your conference room is very good, better than mine, so that's it. Find me a lumbar cushion. ”

"Okay. ”

"The sound is not too demanding, just be able to make a sound. Headphones for a few days can't stand it. Well...... Drink, just water. It's better to be lukewarm, and it's even better if you can have something to eat. Yue Qingyan said.

"How many days?" Ah Yue suddenly reacted, "You want to finish writing in front of us in the company." ”

Yue Qingyan was also stunned: "That's what you mean?"

Ah Yue didn't know how to react. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's all." Don't worry about the problems in life. The company has everything. I'll get you a sleeping bag and put it in that corner. Well done, little guy, make two decent ones, and this is your battle for fame. ”

After saying that, Ah Yue ran out, and Yue Qingyan reacted at this time, Lian Xingjie just asked him to write one, and if the quality was good, he could go back and continue to work. He was completely wrong. Now, it's like a public execution in the code line, okay? It's not impossible to write in front of everyone, but it's a bit stressful.

However, these words have been said, whether it is for the image of Ming Qian, or in order to make the rumors that the sting may spread in the circle end without a problem, it is impossible for him to go home and slowly work on these two novels.

Forget it, resign yourself to your fate. Faced with the scene of a group of people having a meeting, it can be fatal to say the wrong thing.

However, what to write? Yue Qingyan fell into this question again. If it's just two short stories that add up to thirty-five thousand, then this job is easy to do. But now, this kind of scene, not only must the quality of the novel be guaranteed, but also the public must say that it is good, and a good work can be recognized. It is a work that can make the stunned speechless.

This short article, although it is a few thousand words, must be a work that allows the company to have full confidence in the subsequent way of working. What to do?

Yue Qingyan sat down, his mind racing through various choices, weighing whether he could write it, whether he could complete such a story efficiently, and how to control the specific writing. All kinds of novels, remembering stories is really not enough, especially short stories, often rely on words and structure.

A pair of warm hands covered Yue Qingyan's shoulders: "Okay, let's start." The time has come to witness the miracle. ”

Xu Yingying gently encouraged him.

In less than 10 minutes, it was all ready. The host connects two screens and is already powered on. Two 24-inch HD monitors, in which Word has been opened on the main interface and the browser is opened on the secondary screen. Dual screen For authors, if the auxiliary screen is not used to put a video or TV series to relieve stress and distract the spirit, it must be used to check information. The keyboard, mouse, water, and snacks are all within easy reach of the surroundings. The snacks prepared by the company are also luxurious and sumptuous: bread, cakes, jerky, sweets, chocolates...... Although Yue Qingyan did not ask for the variety of water, there were Nongfu Spring, 5100, Kunlun Mountain, San Pellegrino, Perrier, and Bao Saike on the table. Obviously, the people in Mingqian Company have super execution. Although he didn't have much to ask for chairs, except for the chair in the office, the other chairs on the computer side were emptied and replaced with several ergonomic chairs with different principles and structures. There were several different cushions on the chairs, a few of which were obviously asking the female employees of the company, and they were very gorgeous. The floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall of the conference room facing the office area outside has been draped with blinds, so that he does not feel too aggressive.

"Our company is just very good to the authors. Don't let us down. Xu Yingying said.

"No, it won't. Feel relieved. Yue Qingyan had this measure in his heart. He sat down in the chair in the middle and took a deep breath into the screen.

The moment Xu Yingying walked out, Yue Qingyan's fingers were already flicking on the keyboard.
