340, embarrassment

At table 36 at the top of the Paradise Cafe on Earth, there was already a girl wearing black glasses, with mushroom hair cut and a round face, some baby fat, medium build, and she looked like she was only in her twenties, and she was wearing a denim suit, especially her elbows and pants that had been worn yellow.

Zeng Juan deliberately made a domineering and very defensive look and stared at the cowboy girl in front of her: "Excuse me, are you Liu Yacai of Shengwen website?" ”

Liu Yacai was sorting out notes in the bag, thinking about how to talk to the author of "The Wisher" for a while, when he suddenly heard a somewhat arrogant voice, quickly put down the bag and stood up, and handed it to Zeng Juan: "Hello, I am your future editor, my name is Liu Yacai, nicknamed Caicai, I am very happy to meet you." ”

Zeng Juan still looked domineering, and did not shake hands with her, but pulled Chen Yuezhi to sit down and said: "I am not 'willing to take the bait'." ”

Liu Yacai was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes immediately lit up, locking Chen Yuezhi, who was as cute as a Barbie doll, and was dumbfounded: "Could it be that you are Ah Yuanda?" Oh my God, how can you be so beautiful and cute, oh my God, like Snow White, are your eyelashes glued? ”

Chen Yuezhi was strange in his heart, why is this woman a little out of tune? However, she did not show Xiàn on her face, and still maintained the cutest smile.

"Sister Acai, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am the author of this book." Chen Yuezhi had an innocent and fresh expression on his face, and he stretched out his hand happily.

It's only halfway through it, and it was pulled back impatiently by Zeng Juan, and then the lesson fell: "Daughter, how many times have I told you, and it is indispensable to guard against people." There are so many bad people out there recently, who knows if she's good or bad. If you want me to say, our family is not short of money to spend, what kind of contract to sign, don't bother about that, let's go home with my mother. ”

Zeng Juan portrayed a worried and wary mother very vividly, but her words embarrassed Liu Yacai. She scratched her hair innocently. The mushroom bangs that had been neatly cut were all made like a chicken coop by her.

"This lady, I know there are some rumors on the Internet about some kind of crossing curse or something. But we are all atheists, how can we believe that nonsense? And your daughter's work is really good, she really has potential, and we want to make your daughter a rising star in the world of fiction. Although only one chapter was posted. But it has accumulated a large number of readers, and many people like to read it. Want to know what will happen next? Our editor-in-chief also values it very much, and she has already handed over the first 5,000 words to the editor of the publishing house to read, and the other party is very interested and has great hopes that it will be published. Liu Yacai disagreed with Zeng Juan's words. immediately refuted it, but the confidence was a little lacking, so the voice was a little small. While speaking, he looked at Zeng Juan pleadingly, hoping that she would not take Chen Yuezhi away.

Zeng Juan glanced at Liu Yacai with disdain. He pouted and said, "What's the benefit of that new star you are talking about?" ”

Liu Yacai thought that the other party was moved by herself, so she immediately crossed her fingers and began to talk, saying that she was crazy, although she was suspected of exaggeration, but in order to be able to win the author, she also fought hard.

God knows, how difficult it is for her to find a job in the sea market, but her personality is too straight, her speech is not good, she was assigned to the backwater area to cross this group, the Internet is turned upside down, what kind of time travel novel curse is circulating, and it is said that through the novel, whoever writes will die, you say that she is the editor of the group of crossing novels, you say that there is no author to write, where does she have a book to recommend, so a good editor is treated as a handyman, it is really all tears.

She stared at the backstage of the computer every day, and finally found one, but she didn't catch it quickly. Because of the rumors, even if the boss of the website came forward in person and invited a few old writers to write a few time-traveling novels together to support the scenes of the website, they would not be able to.

And readers too, you can read any novel, knowing that you can't write a novel through a novel, but you still want to read it, and threaten the website that you don't have a novel to read, so you just give up the station.

The publishing house is also urging very tightly, and the requirements for the review of the manuscript of the crossing novel have been lowered again and again, as long as there are no typos, as long as the plot is so-so and can be seen, they are willing to ask for it, they are willing to publish, and they are willing to give a high price.

Rao is like this, and no one is willing to risk their lives to write, the previous month she struggled to fool more than 20 people in some remote areas, promising a bunch of benefits, but writing and writing, she was also a eunuch.

The most hateful thing is that those authors were afraid of her urging the manuscript, so they all changed their mobile phones, so that she couldn't find anyone.

So this time, she used a method, she decided, for the sake of her work performance, she decided to move next to the author's house and be a neighbor with the author, so that she could urge the manuscript while protecting the author.

Liu Yacai felt that she was too smart.

"Okay, okay, I understand, what you mean is nothing more than fame and fortune, right? But our family is not short of money, and I don't want my daughter to show up, and if I can come today, this child has to beg me to come, and now that you have said what you should say, we should go. Zeng Juan said that she was going to pull Chen Yuezhi.

Liu Yacai was anxious, how could this be, she would never allow a good seedling to fold in her hands, and she was right in front of her, did she still have to watch it?

She immediately ran to Zeng Juan's front, stretched out her hands, blocking their way, and all the previous self-esteem was left behind, and she almost knelt down towards Zeng Juan and Chen Yuezhi, tears and snot flowed all over her face.

"Ah Yuanda, help, please, it's okay, just sign a contract with us?" Liu Yacai's sudden change in painting style really made Chen Yuezhi unacceptable.

The fake mother-daughter duo exchanged glances with each other.

Zeng Juan: Is this a new trick of criminals who want to win our sympathy?

Chen Yuezhi: I don't think so, otherwise let's listen to what she has to say, right?

Zeng Juan: Every point of staying here is dangerous, what do you listen to, your personal safety is the most important, anyway, everyone is lying in ambush around, just wait for someone to arrest her and get her into the bureau. I'm sure I'll be able to pry my mouth open.

Chen Yuezhi: What if, I said, what if she is really an editor?

Zeng Juan: How can there be such a coincidence, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to slip through the net, or let's go, in case she is a delaying tactic. Drag us. When the accomplices come, it will be troublesome.

Chen Yuezhi thought about it, but nodded and agreed.

Such an exchange. It's just a blink of an eye, Liu Yacai is still holding the corner of Chen Yuezhi's skirt and howling there.

Zeng Juan wanted to tear her away, but she didn't want to let go even if she died, Zeng Juan was annoyed. threatened: "Miss Liu, you won't let go again." I called the police. ”

"For the sake of work, for the sake of next month's rent, for the sake of the children in the family, you can call the police. I can't let you go! Ah Yuanda, now on the Internet because of the crossing curse, almost no one is willing to write a travel novel. But the website gave me this task, can I keep this job? Whether I have a salary this month, whether I can pay the rent next month or not, whether I have food or not, it all depends on your book. ”

"Before our editor-in-chief came, he gave me a death order, and if I could sign your bookmarks and send them to the publishing house, I would be given a prize of five hundred this month. Maybe in your eyes, 500 is nothing, but it can save me from living on the streets for a month, without starving and cold. Ah Yuanda, you are so beautiful, just like an angel, you can have pity on me. ”

Chen Yuezhi didn't expect Liu Yacai to look at her small figure, but her strength was so big, she hugged her legs while crying, if she didn't use her true qi, she wouldn't be able to get her away at all.

could only glance at Zeng Juan helplessly, and promised to listen to Liu Yacai's next words.

Liu Yacai hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve, because there was ash on the ground on her sleeve just now, so she made it look like a flower-faced cat, which made Chen Yuezhi laugh out loud, and handed her a white handkerchief.

She was a little embarrassed to take the handkerchief, wiped her face clean, and then took out the contract that had been prepared from her backpack.

Alas, she was misled by those seniors, and when she left the office, the seniors also told her that the editor is high, and the author has to be low, so she has to hold the shelf, only in this way can the conditions be discussed, and the author can take the editor seriously.

In this way, if the author wants to get a recommended position from the editor, he has to give the editor a benefit fee, and they can also earn more extra income.

Although the editor's additional commission depends on whether the author publishes or not, whether he or she is film and television, but among so many authors, how many of them can really publish and make TV series? Instead of waiting for those unreliable commissions, it is better to make good use of the authority in your hands to seek some benefits.

Think about what the predecessors said, and then take a look at the environment of the predecessors, they are not in charge of the youth campus, or urban romance, or classical Xianxia, those novels are now in full swing, each editor has to manage more than 100 people, and the wolf has more meat and less meat, so it is natural to fight for it.

But she doesn't even have a fly in the romance column, and even if there is meat, no one will eat it, so if she still uses the trick of the old-timer editor, it is estimated that even the last fly will be scared away by her.

"Ah Yuanda, you see, this is the contract given by the publishing house, and the other party is willing to buy out the copyright of your book at a price of 100 words." Seeing the 10,000 words, Liu Yacai's eyes straightened, she works as a handyman every day, and she can only earn 1,000 yuan a month when she is tired and tired, but as long as the author writes 10,000 words, she can get a thousand yuan.

Although Zeng Juan is a forensic doctor, she also has some understanding of these related contracts, so she took a look at the contract and found that it was not a paste, but real, and the payment on the last page was actually Xinghai Publishing House.

She knows that this publishing house is the largest literary publishing house in Huaxia, one of the deputy editors, or her classmates?

Chen Yuezhi saw Zeng Juan nodding invisibly at her, indicating that there was no problem with the contract, she pretended to call again, stood up and walked aside, but in fact she dialed her old classmate and asked about it.

I didn't expect the old classmate to be very excited when he mentioned it, and said that he was also chasing the article, but there were too few authors, and their club was also in contact with the website, planning to publish the entity of the book, and then asked her how she cared about this, do you also believe in the words of the curse?

As soon as Liu Yacai saw Chen Yuezhi's "mother" walking away, she felt that the opportunity had come, so she hurriedly got close to Chen Yuezhi, pretending to be pitiful and selling cuteness at the same time.

In fact, it's not pretending to be pitiful, most of what she says is the truth, but it's just a little false on the street.

Liu Yacai's own family conditions are not bad, but the family has to arrange for her to get married, she doesn't like the man, so she ran out, the family cut off her financial resources, and told her that if she has the ability, she will live outside, if she doesn't have the ability, she can only go back and listen to the family's arrangement to marry.

"A hundred words? Buyout? Chen Yuezhi just read these words, and then he still looked at Liu Yacai with an innocent and innocent expression, and asked softly: "Sister Ah Cai, do you think this price is reasonable?" ”

Chen Yueyi asked, while tidying up his skirt, when Liu Yacai saw the Su embroidery logo next to the skirt, her eyes widened suddenly, this seems to be a famous Italian master, hand-formulated, one piece costs tens of thousands, no wonder people don't look down on this money.

She immediately took out her mobile phone: "Ah Yuanda, I also think that you have such a good novel, and such a small amount of money is really not cost-effective, so I will help you tell them immediately." ”

Liu Yacai called the boss of their website, and when the other party heard this, he discussed it with the publishing house again, and then relayed it to Liu Yacai.

"I got a reply, Ah Yuanda, the other party said that although there is a shortage of time-traveling novels on the market now, it also depends on the plot and quality of your work, if the plot and quality are excellent, they are willing to pay a buyout price of up to 600 words."

Chen Yuezhi originally just wanted to tease this stupid editor, but she didn't expect her to think like this, and she also called all aspects of the phone on her own, uh, this result is not bad.

When I heard the price of 600 words per 1,000, I was really surprised, and it can also be known that in the domestic market, there should be a hunger for time-traveling novels.

"The novel I wrote is naturally not bad, didn't you also say that it is only one chapter, and it has already accumulated many readers?" Chen Yuezhi cleverly used what Liu Yacai had said before to block her, which immediately made her choke.

She smirked, didn't she just say it casually, although the first chapter is indeed very exciting, and the writing method is also very novel, the key is that this kind of genre is scarce now, everyone likes it very much, but it's only 5,000 words, what can you see?

"I don't want 600 words, I don't want to buy out, I want 60 percent royalties." Chen Yuezhi suddenly opened his mouth, scaring Liu Yacai and knocking over the coffee, she quickly wiped the coffee on the table with a paper towel.

Liu Yacai swallowed desperately: "Ah Yuanda, have you really thought about it?" 600 words per 1,000 words, not 60,000 yuan per 1,000 words, you just need to move your little finger and write 10,000 or 20,000 words casually, you can get 10,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan, it's no different from robbing, you don't want it, why is this?
