Chapter 21: The Debut

Su Yan's novel was 200,000 words long, and she thought that she could submit it, so she looked for the contact information of several publishing houses, and finally chose one called Aoki Book Publishing House to send the manuscript over.

Aoki was not a very famous publishing house not long after it was established at that time, but Su Yan knew that this publishing house had developed very well since then, and it had made many bestsellers.

Moreover, the subject matter of Su Yan's novel was not common at the time, she wrote the story of a group of happy characters in ancient times to solve the case, and Aoki, as a new publishing house, would be more receptive to new themes.

Half a month later, sure enough, there was a response from Aoki's side, and an editor called to talk to Su Yan about the publication of the novel.

"Hello. I'm Luo Kai. A young male voice said.

"Hello!" Su Yan knew this person, and he would be a very famous publisher in the future.

"Let's talk about the publication of novels." After saying hello, Luo Kai got straight to the point.

"Please." Su Yan also put on a posture to talk about things.

"Your manuscript has been reviewed, I just want to have a preliminary communication with you and understand the basic situation of this novel." Luo Kai chuckled, "Don't be so strict......"

Su Yan also smiled, and said in her heart that the rumors were true, and this publisher should be very easy to get along with.

"Have you finished the novel at the moment?" Luo Kai asked.

"Not yet!" Su Yan replied in an orderly manner, "I just wrote four cases, and there will be twenty cases according to the outline." โ€

"That's good. I wanted to make this novel a series of essays, so that one volume would be published for every four cases, and then there would be five volumes in total. Your subject matter is very new, and I would like to warm up by launching a 100,000-word serial in our magazine first. โ€

"Okay." Su Yan couldn't be wrong if she wanted to hear him.

"That's it! Tomorrow I will send the contract to your mailbox, you will find me if you have any questions after reading it, if there is no problem, print it in duplicate, sign it and send it to me. I'll give you the address tomorrow. Luo Kai thought for a moment, "Are you really only 13 years old?" โ€

Su Yan smiled: "Don't you think it's like it?" โ€

"The scenes of your novel are very magnificent, the imagination is rich, and the writing is mature, it really doesn't look like a little girl can write it." It's not at all like the well-behaved it is now.

"Why don't you see you another day?" Su Yan was also quite interested in him, after all, he was an editor who had been fascinated for a long time in his previous life.

"Okay." Over there, Luo Kai immediately patted the board, "Tomorrow, after you see that the two of you are fine, after I print the seal here, I will fly over to you with the contract." โ€

The next day, Su Yan carefully read the contract text sent by Luo Kai, and felt that the conditions were acceptable, Su Yan was not too concerned about the remuneration, and the only clause she cared about was that she required Aoki to have the right of priority to sign the contract in the future, which was no problem for Luo Kai's sake. immediately replied to Luo Kai.

Two days later, on Friday night, Luo Kai went to Haicheng and made an appointment with Su Yan to meet at the hotel where he was staying the next day.

The next morning, Dad Su personally sent Su Yan to the living room of Luo Kai's room, Dad Su looked at Luo Kai's body, and felt that this white and tender scholar was not his daughter's opponent, and then nodded and left with confidence.

Su Yan had heard many legends about Luo Kai before, and one of them was that Luo Kai loved baking, so she brought the tiramisu and macarons she made the night before to the door for advice.

The tiramisu is for Rokai for breakfast, and the macarons are prepared for dessert after lunch.

After Su's father left, Luo Kai ate the cake, and Su Yan read the contract again before signing her name on the contract in duplicate.

"You really don't act like a 13-year-old girl." Luo Kai carefully put the contract into the text jiร n folder.

Su Yan blinked: "You always have to be cautious when signing a contract, right?" โ€

Luo Kai nodded and continued to eat the cake: "This cake tastes really good!" โ€

"Really? I did it! โ€

"Ahem!" Luo Kai couldn't get a bite of cake stuck in his throat, and Su Yan hurriedly handed him black tea.

Luo Kai hurriedly took a sip and went down the cake: "You're also amazing, aren't you?" Even cakes can be made?! Just now, before Su's father left, he "casually" mentioned that his daughter has been the top student in Haicheng's exam since elementary school, and he thought that her writing ability was so strong that she should not be able to take care of her life ability, but he didn't expect that-

Su Yan pointed to the crisper box on the side: "And this, Mr. Luo will have to taste it later!" โ€

Luo Kai opened the crisper box casually, the box was a five-color macaron, as fresh as Su Yan's words, he couldn't help but twist a piece to try it, and then he was really dumbfounded: "This is also what you did?" I don't think I bought it, and it's not right, I haven't seen a dessert shop selling this outside. I've tried it a few times without success! How did you make it? โ€

Su Yan sรจ: "Talent! โ€

Su Yan shared her recipe with Luo Kai, and Luo Kai immediately tried it as soon as he went home, but he didn't believe that it would not be successful.

The two chatted about food until almost noon, when Su's father called and said that he had left a table at Su Ji Oyster, and asked them to go downstairs in five minutes, and he would pick them up.

Also participating in the lunch were Su Ma and Su Kai, every time Luo Kai ate a piece of food during the banquet, Su Dad would introduce the source, when he knew that part of it was from Su Yan's handwriting, Luo Kai was unexpectedly numb later: "Su Yan, is there anything else you won't have?" โ€

Su Yan grinned, thought about it seriously, but didn't come up with it......

A marketing plan gradually took shape in Luo Kai's heart, but he still had to ask Su Yan's opinion: "Are you willing to fully cooperate with the publicity?" With your resume and age as selling points, plus your writing skills, it's very easy to become famous in one fell swoop. โ€

Su Yan shook her head: "I don't want to expose it yet, it will affect my study and life." I'm not going to attend any book signings or anything else, I want the reader's focus to be on my work, not on how I look and how I live. โ€

Luo Kai nodded, who doesn't want to become famous at a young age, but Su Yan is sober-minded. In fact, the thoughts in his heart are the same as Su Yan's, but what he thinks is that Su Yan is too young after all, and it may be difficult to maintain a peaceful mind to write after being hit by huge fame and fortune.

In the afternoon of the same day, Luo Kai flew back to the capital with macarons.

Half a month later, Su Yan's novel officially debuted in Aoki Magazine, and its lively prose and cheerful atmosphere were really popular with readers......

Luo Kai couriered the thick letter from the reader to Su Yan, and as a return gift, Su Yan sent him two large boxes of almond cookies.

After receiving it, Luo Kai offered the treasure in the office, which naturally caused some amazement.
