John is a senior editor at Bantam Press. His daily job is to find promising ones from the large number of submissions and publish them.

Because he has to review countless manuscripts every day, he needs enough sleep time to replenish his energy, so he will definitely go to bed after twelve o'clock every night.

It's just that today, it's two o'clock in the middle of the night, but he still hasn't fallen asleep.

He's waiting for a phone call. A call from the other side of the world.

It wasn't until nearly three o'clock in the morning that the phone rang at his bedside.

John quickly turned on the bedside lamp, picked up the phone, and sat up from the bed as he answered.

"Editor-in-chief, it's me Jack." The slightly excited voice of rookie editor Jack came over the phone.

"Jack, have you seen the author?" John heard Jack's voice, and a trace of anxiety on his face quickly dissipated.

"After seeing it, the contract was basically negotiated, and the requirements put forward by the other party were basically within our expectations. The remaining ones that need to be slightly modified and supplemented have been sent back to China for the legal department to revise, and when the qiē is completed, the contract can be officially signed. ”

Jack skillfully skipped Chen Xueqian's request that there must be a Chinese version of the contract. There will definitely be something that needs to be supplemented by negotiation, so why bother to expose your own negligence.

Listening to Jack's words, John immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was quite optimistic about this book, and now that he was sure that he could sign a contract, he could finally put his heart back in his stomach.

"Is the other party really a Chinese?" After chatting about business, John couldn't help but ask curiously about the identity of the author. For a Chinese to write such a work, he has always been a little hesitant, even unbelievable.

However, Jack was silent when he heard this.

"What? Is the identity of the author unexpected? John sensed there was a story in it.

Jack hesitated for a moment but said honestly: "The other party is a fourteen-year-old Chinese teenager. ”

"Fourteen・・・・・・ wait, what did you just say?" John's voice suddenly rose up, and a pair of brass bells widened to the limit. Completely frightened.

"The other party is a fourteen-year-old Chinese teenager?" Jack repeated it.

"Are you sure you're not kidding? Or have you been scammed? John was a little annoyed, was this subordinate laughing at his own intelligence? actually said such a ridiculous crazy thing to him.

Jack was about to cry. Who did he recruit and provoke whom? It's just that in the face of his immediate boss, he can only explain patiently.

"Editor-in-chief, I'm not kidding, and they did come up with the full manuscript of The Hunger Games. And the other party also revealed that there are two more parts in the future. ”

For a while, there was suddenly no sound on the phone, and only some heavy breathing could be heard from John.

After a long time, John's voice sounded again: "You just said that there are two more in the back?" ”

Jack was stunned, "That's what Sam said. ”

He was a little surprised that the editor-in-chief didn't exclaim, in fact, he was still looking forward to seeing his boss lose his temper.

"Let's find a way to see if we can sign the other two books together!" John issued a new directive.

"Yes."

"Okay, that's it, I'm getting late here, I'll talk about the rest tomorrow." John said another sentence and was about to hang up.

It's just that he put the hand back into the microphone, and he hasn't been able to put the microphone away several times.

"Fourteen? Is this Chinese a monster? In the end, John didn't hold back and yelled. He couldn't sleep that night.

=========

Outside the Phoenix Terrace Hotel, Chen Xueqian looked at Bai Feifei, who was smiling and trembling, and felt distressed in his heart.

Do you want to take the opportunity to care about each other? She will scare children by laughing like this, even if she can't scare children and scare flowers and plants, right? It was obligated to go over and remind her, and then stabilize the other person's body that was trembling with laughter. Well, that's all. I guess it must feel good.

Ahh What doesn't feel like a hand? We just care about our friends!

was in a dilemma in his heart, but Chen Xueqian's feet couldn't help but move closer to the other party little by little. Although it may make people misunderstand his intentions, he is willing to bear the infamy for the sake of his friends. We are such a good young man who sacrifices himself for others!

It's just that the eyes of this good young man are always staring directly at Bai Feifei's two white rabbits hidden in his jacket.

Just as Chen Xueqian was getting closer and closer, Bai Feifei suddenly stopped laughing, stood up, and glanced at him with some coquettishness.

"Little brother, you're a little unbehaved!"

The voice seemed to be coquettish, and Chen Xueqian's heart fluttered when he heard it. He felt that Bai Feifei seemed to be a little different from before.

It's just that before he could figure out what the difference was, Bai Feifei laughed evilly again as if he had succeeded in his pranks. His eyes seemed to be looking at Chen Xueqian somewhere.

Chen Xueqian's face suddenly turned red.

Bai Feifei stopped teasing him, turned around and stepped on a pair of high heels, and walked towards the parking lot first.

Chen Xueqian followed behind in a daze. Some are not sure what the other person means.

Looking at the bewitching back in front of him, Chen Xueqian finally took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed a certain restlessness that had been accumulating since his rebirth.

"This goblin, sooner or later, will either die on her or at her feet." Chen Xueqian thought with hatred in his heart.

"Where next?" In the car, Bai Feifei asked Chen Xueqian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly became reserved, and twisted his head and didn't dare to look at himself.

Chen Xueqian had a momentary impulse when he heard this, and blurted out that he wanted to say, "Go and see Teacher Gu." ”

However, when the words came to his lips, they eventually became: "Find a place to have a cup of tea!" ”

Bai Feifei glanced at him meaningfully, didn't speak, and drove straight to a teahouse.

"Is it the book you have that they want to sign?" After the car started, Bai Feifei turned his head and looked at the manuscript of the book in Chen Xueqian's hand.

"Oh, there's nothing here, how can I bring the manuscript with me!" Chen Xueqian said as a matter of course.

Bai Feifei was speechless for a while, not knowing whether to praise the other party for being thoughtful, or scolding him for being too cunning. The little man on the side was not in line with his age except for his body.

"I don't care, you're going to show me the manuscript when you get back! I'm curious now, what the hell did you write to make them take such a fancy to it. ”

Just sighed for a moment, Bai Feifei regained her fairy nature. began to spoil a boy who was eight years younger than himself without any burden.

"Don't be like this, I'm scared. Just show you. Chen Xueqian was coquettishly covered in goosebumps by her, knowing that he couldn't eat it, he was not interested in tossing himself plainly.

Seeing him like that, Bai Feifei decisively gave him a roll of the eyes. It's just that the unintentional style made Chen Xueqian, a little man who can't stand being teased now, his heart beat faster.

"I want to laugh at the thought of those two foreigners being so scared of your age. It's so funny. ”

Bai Feifei had no idea about his charm at all, and was still chatting casually. She just laughed out loud about this outside the hotel.

"By the way, you haven't said what to do with the impostor in Japan." After chatting a few words, Bai Feifei remembered the business again.

"Don't do anything!" Chen Xueqian replied when he heard this.

"Nothing?" Bai Feifei was surprised, "Then watch them use you to hype and sell books?" ”

"Selling books? You're exalting them too much. Since they are impersonating us, if they don't want to be exposed, they have to publish their books in the Shogakukan. The publication of novels is contracted, the first book is successful, and the second book is published by elementary school students. So will their books be published at the Shogakukan? ”

Bai Feifei suddenly found that this was really the case, if they were published in another publishing house, and the style of writing was completely different from Chen Xueqian's. Their lies are simply self-defeating.

"They don't always avoid topics now, and they never admit positively that they are the authors of "My Youth Love Story Really Has a Problem". Then we can't sue him. But as long as we don't come forward to prosecute, there will always be a day when he can't dodge. Once he has no way to avoid it, admit or deny it head-on, then he is finished. ”

Chen Xueqian continued to analyze. Bai Feifei was stunned when he heard it.

"I see! But in this way, if they are exposed in the future, will readers blame you for not standing up and accusing them in time, allowing scammers to play with their feelings? ”

"So we want to send a lawyer's letter to the other party in the name of Chen Xueqian's special lawyer. It's just that the other party who received the lawyer's letter will definitely ignore it completely, and even provoke us even more fiercely. Because their purpose is to quarrel with me and even go to court. Only then will they have the opportunity to portray themselves as a victim and pretend to be aggrieved. But I won't give him a chance! As long as we don't do anything and wait for him to expose himself, then he can only be a liar and have nothing to do. ”

"When you say this, how do I feel that doing nothing is more ruthless than fighting with the other party!" Bai Feifei couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his words.

This is called: not to fight is to fight. That's what the Taoists mean by doing nothing. "Chen Xueqian sè.

Bai Feifei glanced at him several times after hearing this: "How does your head grow?" If Qingqing hadn't repeatedly assured you that you were a junior high school student, I would have thought you were an adult in disguise. ”

"Are you trying to call me a cunning man?" Chen Xueqian rolled his eyes.

"You know the feelings!" Bai Feifei's angry people's admission! ――
