Chapter 10: Fired Squid

Before Luo Chao, the author of "365 Days to Love You", came to Singularity, he was writing in Longkong, this website is not as professional and intimate as Singularity, publishing a novel is a post, clicking, replying or something, it is all a post. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The singularity is very professional, with a writer's backstage, a novel page, a book review area, a classified channel, a homepage channel, and a clear hierarchy of recommended positions for novels.

Of course, the most important thing is to sign a contract with the author, who can still make money writing online!

It's the most incredible thing.

In the year 2000, almost no one would have thought of posting their work online and still being able to make money.

Although Luo Chao doesn't earn much in a month now, that is, about 1,000 yuan, you must know that his salary is 2,200 yuan, and writing for four or five hours a day is equivalent to half of his salary!

This is still his electronic manuscript fee, the royalty of traditional Chinese publishing in Baodao, one episode is 5,000 yuan, and now he has published 2 episodes, and he has earned 10,000 yuan!

It can be said that Luo Chao has rarely become the first generation of great god writers of online articles.

Singularity has also established a group of contracted authors, among which 360 contracted authors are on the site, and the number of publication-level "great god writers" like Luo Chao has reached 16, and most of the other authors have not met the publication qualifications.

The reason is very simple, Luo Chao is the first batch of people to try the VIP charging model on the shelves, he is the first to eat crabs, and eat delicious people, the follow-up 360 signed authors, will be selected to be on the VIP shelves after New Year's Day next year.

Of course, not all authors will be on the shelves, some authors are not writing to make money, the majority of the current online literature industry is interested in writing, after all, most of the people who can surf the Internet in 2000 are post-70s groups, the universality of this group is to have jobs, everyone is writing in their spare time, no one really thinks that "Internet writers" and "Internet writers" will become a profession in the future.

However, when there are strengths and opportunities, professional writers will inevitably be born.

When Luo Chao was writing secretly in front of the computer, his old demon boss quietly came behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "What are you doing at work?" ”

"Ahh

Luo Chao was taken aback, he was too serious in writing, he didn't find that the old witch came behind him, he just wanted to close the document, but he was pushed away by the old witch with his hand, she carefully stared at the content of the document on the computer screen for a while, only to realize that this employee actually wrote some romance articles when he was at work.

"You! Come with me to the office! The old witch pinched his waist and scolded him angrily.

At this moment, all the colleagues in the entire office area where Luo Chao was staring at him.

"What's wrong with Luo Chao, being yelled at so loudly by the old witch?"

"Hey...... The old witch is finding fault again! ”

"Luo Chao is unlucky, now in the global Internet financial crisis, many companies have gone bankrupt, and I heard that our company is going to lay off employees."

"Hehe, I estimate that Luo Chao will leave in less than two days."

"Yes, in the past two days, the old witch has tried her best to lay us off!"

Luo Chao's colleagues are all in danger, Internet companies are going bankrupt, they are a contracted software development company, under the premise of the collapse of upstream Internet companies, many companies like them have closed down one after another, Internet companies are laying off employees, everyone is worried about what to do if they lose their jobs!

Everyone is working carefully, everyone is protecting themselves, watching Luo Chao being taken to the office by the old witch to talk privately, they all expected Luo Chao's fate.

Sure enough, ten minutes later, Luo Chao walked out with his head drooping, he looked at the sympathetic eyes of his colleagues, shook his head, and said, "Goodbye, my brothers!" ”

In addition to the old witch and a few clerks who are women, 74 of the more than 80 employees in this company are men.

No way, IT man, IT man, since the birth of computers, this industry has been destined to be the world of single dogs.

Luo Chao began to pack his things.

He also had nothing to pack, a cardboard box, loaded with all his personal belongings.

The computer is not his, and he can't afford it.

Coming out of the company's gate, Luo Chao looked up to the sky and looked at it, and said in his heart, in this bustling metropolis, there is no place for him Luo Chao?

What's next, do you want to find another IT company?

His technology is just average, the technology he learned when he was in school was the DOS system, and after graduation, Microsoft's XP operating system became popular all over the world, and the backwardness of the programming language meant that if Luo Chao did not learn and progress every day, he would eventually be eliminated from the industry!

The programmer ape is so sad, if you don't learn to improve, you will regress, and you have to practice coding every day.

Is this kind of life really what Luo Chao wants?

After taking the bus back to the rental house, Luo Chao found that his life in the magic capital was very simple and boring, and he had worked hard for two years, but he did not save a penny, but instead wrote a novel on the Internet and earned more than 10,000 yuan.

"Xiao Luo is back!" As soon as he entered the corridor, he met the landlord of the apartment, and the aunt came down to greet him with a smile.

Luo Chao reluctantly responded with a smile, and then didn't say anything.

After all, he was fired today.

Push open the door of the apartment, this is a two-bedroom apartment, his community was originally called Longyan Community, but I don't know what's wrong, the property changed the name to a very strange name like Love Apartment.

"Love Apartment...... Hehe, I've been single for 23 years, and I'm still a virgin. Male one! ”

"What a!"

Luo Chao slapped his face angrily.

He slumped on the couch, staring at the ceiling, thinking about his life, when Ericsson's mobile phone rang and rang.

"Hey, who's that?" Luo Chao asked in a low voice, he was in a bad mood today, it was best not to receive any calls to promote insurance, otherwise he was really ready to scold.

"Thirty, I'm your editor-in-charge, Winnie." There was a cute girl voice on the other end of the phone, after hearing the identity of the caller clearly, Luo Chao was shocked, this was the first time he received a call from a beautiful editor, I remember that every night I would chat with Winnie on Tencent buttons, but I didn't expect her voice to be so sweet, the same as the cartoon girl voice of Japanese anime, which makes people think about it.

"Ahem, the editor in charge is big, what are you looking for thirty to do." Luo Chao immediately came back to his senses and said poorly.

"Good errand! The company wants you to write a custom essay once. Winnie smiled straight to the point.

Luo Chao was stunned when he heard this.

Custom text, what is it?

He didn't understand, and Winnie immediately explained on the phone.

Soon, Luo Chao understood that he was writing a novel like an essay and writing it according to the company's requirements.

Well, wouldn't writing be too boring in that case.

Luo Chao hurriedly told Winnie such an idea.

As soon as Winnie heard it, she criticized: "What's boring, let me tell you, this story is interesting, the name of the novel is "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant"......"

So, Winnie told the story of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" on the phone.

When Luo Chao heard this, he still shook his head and said: "The story is good, but I haven't finished writing my own 365 days of love for you, how can I write two books at the same time!" ”

Winnie got angry, and she said, "Thirty, do you know who came up with this story outline?" ”

"Who?"

"Our Chairman Lin Yuhang!"

“…… I was a little shocked......"

Luo Chao muttered to himself, he was stunned and confused.
