August Ren and Zheng Long stopped a taxi and hurried to the Shanghai People's Literature Publishing House. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was the height of summer, and the streets were full of people and cars.

Looking at the long queue on the street, the August man sighed slightly and said:

"You shouldn't have had such a direct conflict with Zhang Xue just now, you're still too young."

Zheng Long nodded.

"Well, now that I think about it, I was a little impulsive just now."

Of course, in his heart, Zheng Long actually didn't regret it at all. As the saying goes, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, Zhang Xue, a dregs of the literary world who dumps the younger generations, even if he doesn't stand up to clean him up, someone else will naturally take care of him.

I can't bear it, I don't need to endure it anymore.

It can even be said that people like Zhang Xue who are jealous of their juniors are only because there are countless juniors who swallow their anger, which will fuel his arrogance even more.

While enjoying the domineering scenery of the sea market, Zheng Long suddenly received a phone call.

"Zheng Long, I'm Cheng Daren!"

"Oh, Brother Da Ren! How's it going over there? ”

"It's going relatively well! It's just that we found a few jokers, rehearsed a little, and some audience members are here, I don't know when you have time to come and see our rehearsal? ”

"Oh, that's right, I'm having something to do now, can I go over later?"

"Okay, no problem, then call me when you're done!"

"Well, okay!"

As soon as Zheng Long hung up the phone, the August people looked at him in surprise and said:

"Do you still know Cheng Daren?"

Even the driver in front of him turned his head and said:

"Oh? Cheng Daren, isn't that the TV host! ”

Zheng Long seemed very calm:

"Well, they came to me and said I could help plan a show..."

"You're going to do this..."

August didn't ask what the show was, because he couldn't understand Zheng Long anymore. Indeed, this country kid who just came to Haishi is really a character who caused so many disasters and alarmed so many people as soon as he came.

And this country kid really seems to have two brushes, and he is not like other children who have just arrived in the sea, but as if he has lived here for a long time.

Along the way, the curious driver chatted with Zheng Long about a lot of topics about literature, and Zheng Long found out that the driver used to be a literary youth, but later found that he had no talent, so he gave up his literary dream and concentrated on doing something to support his family.

"Young man, you must write well!"

"Hmm!"

Zheng Long answered.

The car finally arrived at the door of the Shanghai People's Publishing House, and after paying the master, the two got out of the car and went straight to the building.

They were greeted by a middle-aged man with a solemn face.

"Editor-in-Chief Li!"

"Ah, August!"

The editor-in-chief, named Li Xiangyang, is the editor-in-chief of the Shanghai People's Publishing House, and used to be a well-known writer, but now he has taken a back seat and is mainly engaged in some administrative matters.

When August contacted Li Xiangyang about publishing matters before, he was still very enthusiastic; After reading Zheng Long's manuscript, he was even more excited, saying that he must sign a contract for publication under the best conditions and make it a key publicity work this year.

But now I don't know why, Editor-in-Chief Li's face is cloudy.

"Editor-in-Chief Li, what's going on?"

After all, the August people are also in their thirties, and they can easily detect Li Xiangyang's worries.

"Hey!" Li Xiangyang let out a long sigh and said:

"I said that you Xiao Zheng, you offended so many people as soon as you came to the sea market! To tell you the truth, your work is really good, and if we publish it, it will definitely sell well! However, several groups of people have just greeted us and said that you must not publish your work, otherwise, they will not cooperate with our publishing house in the future. You said you, what did you do with such a big basket..."

Zheng Long looked at Editor-in-Chief Li thoughtfully.

Looking at the editor-in-chief Li in front of me, I feel that the person is not bad, and it doesn't look like he was lying to him.

"Editor-in-Chief Li, can I ask who exactly said this, is it Zhang Xue?"

Li Xiangyang is not shy about it, after all, the literary world is not big, even if he doesn't tell Zheng Long, he will ask other people and come out.

Zhang Xue said that she would try her best to organize Zheng Long to publish works in any publishing house listed in the sea, if any publishing house dares to risk the world's disapproval, don't think about cooperating with him in the future. Of course, the same is true for several writers who are close to Zhang Xue, and their works will not be published in our publishing house. Of course, there are others, I don't think I need to say you know who they are! ”

Zheng Long nodded and said:

"I see, you don't have to say any more."

The August people seemed to want to do something about it, so they said:

"Editor-in-Chief Li, Zheng Long and Zhang Xue are both authors of our magazine, I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings between them, our magazine society coordinates these relationships, and the matter of publishing, can you continue to think about it?"

Li Xiangyang showed an embarrassed face and said:

"Hey, why don't I want to publish this book?! Our publishing house has been losing money for many years, and I finally have a book that sells well and is well written, and I am also reluctant! However, Zhang Xue's power in the maritime literary world should not be underestimated, and our publishing house does not dare to offend him! After all, he still has a few books that are negotiating with our publishing house for copyright, and if the talks collapse, the loss of our publishing house is not small! ”

What Li Xiangyang said was true, and Zheng Long had no room for maneuver. To be honest, at this time, his mood was really a little low to the bottom.

After all, the most important turning point after rebirth, it seems that he is about to succeed, but he is going to be plotted by this kind of villain, which is really infuriating!

But what can be done? In the world, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is no place to avoid such a hidden arrow to hurt people.

After a few more greetings with Li Xiangyang, August Renhe and Zheng Long left the Shanghai People's Publishing House with a sad face, and they didn't even sit down for a cup of tea.

They went to several other publishing houses in a row, such as October Publishing House, Shencheng Publishing House, Sucheng People's Publishing House, etc., and they also got the same answer!

"It seems that Zhang Xue is going to completely block me!"

Zheng Long said with a smile to the August man beside him.

"Zheng Long, don't worry too much, there will always be a publishing house willing to publish, the strength of your manuscript is there, and it will make a lot of money if it is published! However, I advise you to keep a low profile for a while, and when Zhang Xue's anger disappears, go over and apologize, after all, they are all mixed in the literary world, and you can't see anyone who looks up and looks down, don't make the relationship so tense, just talk about it. ”

Zheng Long shook his head very refreshingly and said:

"Hehe, I don't apologize."

August people are speechless... Hey, writers have tempers...

The scorching sun in the sea market in midsummer is like fire, scorching the two of them weakly...

Zheng Long saw that the gang couldn't open the situation for a while, so it was better to go to Cheng Daren's side to get things done first, after all, his time to go public in the sea is also limited, since he can't get the publishing thing done for a while, then it's not bad to get the program planning of "Tonight's Post-80s" done first!
