At three o'clock in the morning, Baijia Library.

Since going to work last night, after hearing a colleague talk about Lu Yuan's report that "the other party is arrogant and unwilling to sign a contract", Wang Quan has some more certain guesses in his heart, of course, he will definitely not say anything.

But for "The Legend of the Army God of the Three Kingdoms", a novel that has passed the trial from his hands and caused a series of twists and turns, he also has a complex and incomprehensible sigh.

"The other party chooses to post on the site, so it will definitely not be a family that comes out of the 'trial', otherwise he will not understand the rules, then he will not hesitate to refuse us, it is likely that the other party has contacted and even signed a contract with the rest of the website, but I don't know which small website it is, or brilliant."

Wang Quan excluded Shengshi without thinking about it, as an old man in the circle, he couldn't understand Shengshi's style of acting well.

There wasn't much to do on the night shift, and Wang Quan was a little bored looking through the new books in the library.

"Huh? Why is this "Legend of the Three Kingdoms Army" suddenly on the new book click and recommendation list on the homepage? That's right! Yesterday was the weekend and the list just changed, could it be that this Mu Yi broke some little hand? ”

"No, no, no! People have made it clear that they won't sign with us, how can they come back to make small moves after a day? ”

"Could it be that something has happened, I have to go and see!"

Wang Quan, who thought like this, suddenly raised his spirit, clicked on the page of "The Legend of the Military Gods of the Three Kingdoms", and just glanced at the book review area, and he understood-

"'Xinghuo' rewarded Mu Yi with 100,000 reading coins (I learned about this book from my son, I was very excited after reading it, and it is not enough to talk about my heart without rewarding, Mr. Author, come on!) Looking forward to more exciting follow-up)"

More than 100 comments on the back:

"The 'Old Bird Concentration Camp' organizes a group visit +1, and the poor should be careful with their money, and they will subscribe and reward after the book is on the shelves."

"'Old Bird Concentration Camp' group visit +2, can't be compared to 'Spark', but be careful, 100 reading coins leave my footprints"

"'Old Bird Concentration Camp' Group Visits ......"

"Onlookers 1: Those who were attracted by the list are worthy of being senior book lovers, 'Xinghuo' is good, and I recommended a good book."

"Onlookers 2: Leave a post as evidence, this book will be popular! If you don't believe you, you'll lose. ”

……

"Big trouble!"

Seeing these more active old book fans, and then looking at the unstoppable momentum of "Legend of the God of War" after clicking and recommending the list, Wang Quan had a headache.

"No, if it goes on like this, it will attract the attention of the company's senior management sooner or later, and I can't hesitate, lest as the old saying goes, 'the city gate is on fire and the pond fish will be affected', Lu Yuan's second goods are unlucky, I'm afraid that I will be easily pulled by this cautious guy."

After Wang Quan thought of this, he decisively dialed a communication number on his personal terminal.

"Editor-in-Chief Wu, that's the situation, look ......"

After Wang Quan carefully organized the language and reported what he had discovered, his angry voice, which had been disturbed in his sleep, was silent for a moment.

"I'll come to the company right away, you inform Lu Yuan that idiot to get over immediately!"

Under the deep voice, there was an irrepressible annoyance and anger.

The other side.

Editor-in-Chief Wu's voice woke up his wife.

"Old Wu, did Xiao Yuan make anything wrong? As a brother-in-law, you have to help him take care of it......"

After hearing the word "Lu Yuan", she instructed in a bit of confusion.

"Treat? I'll take a basket! It's all your fault for being a loser, I'm used to it, I'll have to let you toss these two hundred pounds sooner or later! ”

Hearing that his wife favored her younger brother without understanding the situation as before, the anger that Editor-in-Chief Wu had been accumulating for a long time exploded instantly.

"Good! The surname Wu has hardened your wings, and you want to rebel, right? You don't want to think that if it weren't for the support of our Lu family, you could sit in your current position with the bear-like appearance of the Wu family? ”

"You also know that my foundation is unstable, and I don't know how to manage that straw bale brother well, I have to worry about Lao Tzu to fall, right?"

"Good! Good! Good! It seems that it has recently given you a few points of color, making you think that the old lady is a bully, isn't it! ”

"Ahh You shrew! Stop it! If you don't stop, I'll turn my face! ”

"The surname is Wu, don't run! You don't need to turn it over, the old lady will come over and see what it looks like! ”

……

When Wang Quan saw Editor-in-Chief Wu with a few scratches on his face and trying to maintain his usual majestic appearance, Rao knew that the situation was urgent, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, so it was easy to pretend that he hadn't seen anything, and went into the office to point out the situation directly and let Editor-in-Chief Wu see it himself.

And the two waited for another twenty minutes, and Lu Yuan, who lived far away, arrived without waking up.

"Brother-in-law, if you can't wait until you go to work, you have to call me in the middle of the night."

When Lu Yuan saw Yan Sù's two people, he first glared at Wang Quan, and then asked a little depressedly.

"Entering the office area, who is your brother-in-law?"

Editor-in-Chief Wu raised his head, and the stern tone made Lu Yuan, who was a little hanging, nod his head reluctantly.

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Wu, is there anything important?"

Lu Yuan spoke casually, not half nervous - just kidding, he hasn't messed around recently, what's the big deal?

"You were responsible for signing this "Legend of the Army God of the Three Kingdoms" the day before yesterday, right?"

"Yes! When I was at work yesterday, I reported the results to the editor-in-chief, and the other party opened his mouth and couldn't negotiate with our contract requirements at all. ”

"Are you sure so? It's not that you say something you shouldn't say, or that your unreasonable demands anger the other person. ”

"Editor-in-chief! You can doubt my abilities, but you can't question my character. That's right! I am asking the other party to pay a part of the 'newcomer training fee', but this is the industry practice of signing a 'newcomer contract', can I look down on that amount of money? ”

Lu Yuan responded with some indignation, and when he thought of what happened to him later, his tone became even more angry:

"But before I could report the number of 100,000 credits, the other side scolded me very unceremoniously and hung up the communication, asking me to say that it was not me who was arrogant, but the Mu Yi who didn't know what to do!"

"Really?"

Although Editor-in-Chief Wu asked so, he actually believed Lu Yuan's words in his heart - his brother-in-law may have concealed some of the situation that he spoke high-mindedly and was not very polite, but the general result should not be bad.

didn't look at Lu Yuan, who was busy nodding his head, and Editor-in-Chief Wu suddenly became entangled in his heart.

In this era, the balance of power between the three major online literary portals is basically determined, and it is generally difficult for their main writers to undergo major changes, so the addition of a newcomer with enough potential is likely to bring about a chain reaction, more than 30 years ago, Liu Ziming failed to sign a contract from Baijia Library, and left the ambitious Shengshi at that time, and it took only 20 years to become a world-class legendary writer, and Shengshi has also achieved explosive development, and even has a part of the stable overseas market.

This has made the hundred schools and the glory of the establishment of the new year red-eyed, in the first examination department has not been valued for a long time to increase the tilt of resources, but unfortunately thirty years have passed, the excavation is not the hidden identity of the children of the family, or the achievements of small fish and shrimp, so everyone in recent years has gradually returned to the previous style, some "laissez-faire" meaning.

And now the editor-in-chief Wu is a little depressed to find that this accident happened at the moment when he has been "accustomed to nature", judging from the current situation, although this "Legend of the God of War" should not be able to compare with Master Liu Ziming's debut masterpiece "Ascending the Peak", but it surpasses all the small shrimps and even most of the children of the family This ending can be basically certain.

Then, if the current direct competitor Brilliant gets it, there is no doubt that Baijia Library will become a laughing stock in the eyes of its peers for the second time, and such a result is unacceptable to Editor-in-Chief Wu, the Preliminary Review Department and the entire Baijia Library website.

Therefore, after Wang Quan realized this possibility, he would wake up Editor-in-Chief Wu in the middle of the night in a hurry.

"Lu Yuan, you go and contact Mu Yi now, and tell him that we are willing to provide a contract based on the preparation of a formal writer, and strive to implement the matter before going to work!"

And now the editor-in-chief Wu finally sighed after thinking for a long time, stared at Lu Yuan, who finally understood the whole situation, and said in a deep voice.

"Ahh Editor-in-chief, that kid is so arrogant, he scolded me in front of me in the video for being 'stupid X', why did we have to compromise with him in the end? ”

Lu Yuan, whose face was pale and pale, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, and he couldn't care much in shock, and shouted directly at Editor-in-Chief Wu.

"I want to scold you for being 'stupid X' now, don't use your pig brain to think about it. Coax him back first, and when the time comes, it's not easy to think about how to give him 'little shoes' after signing the contract, you are still struggling with the temporary loss of face, it's really stupid! ”

Editor-in-Chief Wu's heart was full of evil fire, and he scolded bitterly with hatred.

……

From the time the book was issued, Yang Lin saw on the first day that the number of his works on the two websites was pitiful, and no one spoke in the comment area, and he understood that this was a normal table of newcomers' works that had not been recommended, so in the next few days, except for normal updates, he didn't take another look.

He himself naturally had no idea about the two-day watch of his books on the Baijia Library, and when he was awakened by the continuous prompt sound and vibration sound of the personal terminal in his hand, he saw that the familiar number that was requesting a call was the day before yesterday, and he immediately frowned and clicked to pull this number into the blacklist.

"I'm sorry, the other party uses the citizen LV1 permission, you must force a call that is not less than ten minutes long, or the other party actively hangs up before you can do this."

Seeing this prompt, Yang Lin patted his forehead speechlessly.

After a minute, when his mind was completely clear, he chose to accept the call.

"Hello, Mr. Mu Yi, after our careful research, we have finally decided to give you a contract that is comparable to the status of an official writer......"

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. 'Arrogant' you're late, I signed a contract with Brilliant last night, and the physical contract is on the way, please just hang up, I need enough time to rest."

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was trying to squeeze out a little smile on the other side, Yang Lin tilted his head thoughtfully, and unceremoniously interrupted the other party's next words.

"Young man, I am Wu Ming, the editor-in-chief of the preliminary review department, I have a general understanding of your affairs, I apologize for some inappropriate words and behaviors of Lu Yuan's editor, and I will deal with it strictly in the future!"

Editor-in-Chief Wu pushed Lu Yuan away, came to the video projection, put on an amiable appearance, and gently persuaded:

"After careful review, I personally appreciate Mr. Mu Yi's works very much, since you are from our southwest, I can also make the decision to give you more generous treatment. Come and sign a contract with our Baijia Library, we will negotiate with us on the brilliant side, you don't have to worry about anything. ”

"Oh? If you said that the day before yesterday, I would definitely sign a contract without saying a word, and now, it's right to make amends, but it's pointless if the time is too late......"

Yang Lin looked at Wu Wu who looked surprised on the other side with some amusement, and continued softly:

"I'm sorry, I have a lot of shortcomings, but trustworthiness happens to be one of the few advantages, and that's all."

After finishing speaking, Yang Lin stopped talking, and then ignored Wu Ming's words that he was a little anxious about, like an old monk closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Young people! Finally, give you a chance, don't be angry, you don't understand that in this world, some things are irreparable if they are done, and some people you can't afford to offend! ”

Wu Ming's mouth was dry, and under the reminder of Lu Yuan, who was itching with hatred, he began to write an ultimatum in anger after finding that there was not much time left in ten minutes.

"Oh? I forgot to mention that never being afraid of challenges is also one of my few strengths, and the time has finally come, no see! ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Lin happily hung up the communication, pulled into the blacklist, and the whole action was done in one go, and then as if he had done a trivial thing, he continued to make up for sleep.

And Wu Ming, who hung up the call directly, had a face that could already open a dyeing workshop.

"Brother-in-law, look, I'll just say that this kid doesn't know how to lift, you really can't blame me."

Lu Yuan continued to fan the wind with some hatred.

"This kid!"

Wu Ming didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he simply called a number on his personal terminal.

"Hey! Senior Wu's disturbing dreams in the middle of the night is not a happy practice, right? ”

A somewhat confused middle-aged voice came.

"Xiao Nie, did you just sign a novel called "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms Army God", count me as a personal favor to you, and push it away, how about it."

Wu Ming asked confidently.

"What? Senior Wu is now on a business trip to Goryeo, so I don't know what's going on? Wait until I get back, how about it? ”

The other side seemed to spend a moment thinking about Wu Ming's proposal, and finally replied apologetically.

"Xiao Nie, you didn't lie to me, I didn't say too much to disturb your rest, and said it directly: Give me a face, everyone will have a win-win opportunity for cooperation in the future, what do you say?"

The confidence on Wu Ming's face was a little unbearable.

"Oh, what did Senior Wu say, I didn't mean to shirk it, it's really outside, and now the company's affairs are being taken care of by another new deputy editor-in-chief, I'm not in front of me, it's not easy to meddle directly! Oh? I'm sorry, my friend is complaining, I hung up first, and I'll talk about it later. ”

"Wait! You! ”

Seeing the reason for hanging up the call, Wu Ming's face was so black that he could drip water, and when he saw Lu Yuan, who seemed to be "gloating" just now, he immediately kicked it over, and scolded:

"It's all you idiot, and now I finally understand what it means to 'not have enough to achieve, but more than to fail'! Now I don't want to see you, disappear before my eyes right away! ”

"Wang Quan, you go and contact Manager Yu of the website management department for me, and block this book immediately......
