Lin Han sat in front of the computer, his eyes seemed to be out of focus, looking blankly ahead, thoughts in his mind were flying. Now that he has written his first short story, the manuscript fee of more than 8,000 yuan is not enough for him to sit back and relax, and he has to continue writing.

Then you have to write a long novel, put it in a magazine for serialization for a period of time to accumulate popularity, and then take the publishing route, this steady way can lay a good foundation.

There are thousands of science fiction novels I've read, and it's still a question of which one to write about, and there's so much to choose from, and each one is so good that it's hard to choose.

"Is this a happy annoyance?" Lin Han smiled self-deprecatingly, he used the right mouse button to create a new folder on the desktop, but he couldn't decide what to write.

"Forget it, I'll talk to someone later, and ask what others think. ”

In fact, Lin Han is still in a period of confusion, and if he throws out so many classic novels, it seems that they are too wasteful and do not play their due role.

Open the chatter and find the friend list, Lin Han clicked on Li Wenyuan's name, ready to ask this big man in the science fiction industry and talk about his thoughts on the next book.

But just when he was about to enter his question, the phone call from the editorial department of the note came, and this was the phone number that notified him of the manuscript before.

"Hello, is it Mr. Lin Han?" Wang Yifan lowered his voice, he didn't want everyone in the office to hear it.

"Yes, it's me. ”

Wang Yifan knew that he was offending people by saying this, but in order to get "The Country Teacher" published, he had to speak: "That's right, after discussion in our editorial department, I think that the quality of your book is very good, but in order to avoid being maliciously slandered by some people, we hope that you can publish this novel under a pen name." ”

After Lin Han heard this, he immediately understood that the people in the editorial department of "Science Fiction World" were afraid that after their identities were exposed, they would make others suspect all kinds of things.

Since you are afraid of trouble, then solve it from the root, and it is indeed a better choice to publish a book through a pen name that no one knows, and then consider whether to take off the vest later.

So Lin Han replied and said, "No problem, I understand your concerns, I will cooperate." ”

"Have you figured out a pen name, we'll be handing over the sample to the art team in a moment, so please hurry up. ”

"Let's call them aliens. ”

"Aliens?Okay, thank you for your understanding, the manuscript fee is already being processed, and it is estimated that it will arrive in two hours, goodbye. ”

Wang Yifan didn't know what the pen name alien meant, but for Lin Han, it was to commemorate himself, he was not from this place, but another parallel time and space.

After getting Lin Han's pen name, Wang Yifan quickly fed back the information, and the people in the art department were waiting here, and as soon as they added it, they directly took it to Tan Lin for review.

This issue has a lot of 20,000 words because Lin Han's "Country Teacher" has a lot more pages, and they originally thought about dividing the novel into two parts, but after separating it, they found that they lost all its charm.

The first half of the novel is about the last lesson of the rural teacher, like a realistic novel. The second half tells the story of interstellar warfare and the students' efforts to save the earth, which is closely related to the previous article.

Generally speaking, only well-known writers have this right to publish a novel of 20,000 or 30,000 words. The pages of a magazine are limited, and after Lin Han occupies so much, he can only cancel another one, which is also a matter of no choice.

"So, send this document to the printing house and start printing and binding, and see if there will be any change in sales next month. Tan Lin did not have any doubts about the final draft, and he quickly gave instructions.

……

Lin Han was not in the mood to think about the new book at this time, and after his little nostalgia was hooked, the whole person seemed uneasy.

At this time, you can't let yourself think too much, just sweat a little and get tired, and cover yourself with the tiredness of your body.

The dumbbells that had been put on hold for a long time finally came in handy again, and the body that had been hollowed out by alcohol soon began to sweat like rain, and the muscles all over his body were sore, but Lin Han did not stop, he wanted to break through the limit.

Tired and paralyzed on the ground, Lin Han felt that he didn't want to move his fingers, his clothes were wet and clinging to his body, and it was very uncomfortable, so in order not to catch a cold, he struggled to stand up and went to take a hot shower.

Hot water poured out of the showerhead and fell on his hair and shoulders, dispelling the chill and exhaustion, and the bathroom was filled with mist, and the sound of rushing water drowned out the ringing of his mobile phone.

After drying his hair slowly and changing into clean clothes, Lin Han walked to the edge of the sofa with a cup of hot water, he felt that the negative emotions in his body flowed out with sweat, and now he was refreshed and full of energy.

took out his mobile phone and was about to check the time, but a few missed calls from Chen Jiaxuan gave him a headache, and he didn't know what urgency this woman had to find herself.

After dialing back, Lin Han asked familiarly: "Sister Xuan, I was exercising just now, and I didn't hear the phone ringing, is there something wrong?"

"I thought you were drinking again, you should exercise more and get your six-pack back early. Chen Jiaxuan said jokingly, she was worried that Lin Han would return to normal after regaining his strength, and now she realized that it was unnecessary to worry.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business. Lin Han has a headache, how does she know if she has abdominal muscles, this is very scary!

Chen Jiaxuan heard the dodge in Lin Han's words, she didn't care, one day when this person turned around, she would find that she had been with her, "It's also about you, or bad news." According to a person familiar with the matter, you wrote a science fiction novel under the pseudonym Alien, which will be published next month, and your name is Country Teacher?"

"It's "Country Teacher", the content shouldn't have been leaked, right?" Lin Han asked with concern, he only confirmed the pen name on the phone with the editorial department more than an hour ago, and now it has been exposed, if there is no ghost in the editorial department, he won't believe it.

"The content hasn't been leaked, it's just attracted some attention, after all, you're just an outdated little director, and even your black fans don't care much about it. I'm afraid that in their opinion, as long as you don't go back to the male gods and goddesses who plague them, you can toss the novel at will. ”

Chen Jiaxuan's tone was full of lightheartedness, as if this was not something worth mentioning.

But Lin Han knew that things would not be so simple, otherwise Chen Jiaxuan, who was busy with work, would not have made a few phone calls in a row, he didn't ask anything, and he would find out by himself later.

He opened his mouth and said: "I have never been popular, but unfortunately it has become a stain on your brokerage career, the only person under your command who is not popular, and he was forced to quit the entertainment industry." ”

"I didn't think of it that way, I'm so glad I met you. ”

This is almost a naked tone, Lin Han really didn't know how to reply to this stupid woman, he opened his mouth, thinking of Chen Jiaxuan's concern and rushing to his house, thinking of the way she used various methods to cheer herself up, if she refused, wouldn't it be too cruel?

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, "I'm lucky to have met you. ”
