The first bold confession failed, which was a "major" blow to Stephen Zhao.

Of course, for the traversal, this blow is nothing, so after walking out of a hundred meters, although it is still not a taste in his heart, Zhao Xingchi still cheered up, and he focused his attention on the publication of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and used the method of diverting attention to alleviate the negative shadow in his heart.

With a "crunch", a white Audi suddenly stopped beside him.

"Xingchi, why did you come to Changnan? Get in the car. Wang Dezhong showed his face from behind the rolling window and shouted at him.

Zhao Xingchi was stunned, opened the car door with a smile, sat in, and said, "I'm here to submit a manuscript and prepare to publish a book." Uncle Wang, are you here to discuss business? ”

"Contributions? Publish a book? Wang Dezhong glanced at him in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Amazing, Xingchi, you have actually started to publish books, why didn't you find out that Xingchi still has this talent before." I didn't expect that your Uncle Wang also looked away, but he didn't notice that you are a great talent. ”

Wang Dezhong's joy is from the heart, and Stephen Zhao can hear and feel it.

However, when it came to publishing the book, Zhao Xingchi could only reply with a wry smile: "Uncle Wang, don't be too happy, it's a problem whether my book is published or not." ”

Fan Xiaoyue's concerns, Zhao Xingchi saw it, so when he walked out of the Xijiang branch of the People's Publishing House, he actually didn't hold out the hope that the People's Publishing House would be able to publish "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", although he wanted to. Because in the whole of China, the People's Publishing House is a state-owned enterprise, the No. 1 publishing house, with a sales network all over the country, and recently it has spread overseas, with strong capital and strength. If the People's Publishing House can publish "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", there is no doubt that with the strength of the People's Publishing House, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can easily be listed in the whole country.

More importantly, the publication of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" by the People's Publishing House means that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can be supported by the state, and it will undoubtedly play an immeasurable positive role in the reputation of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and there will be fewer opportunities to be attacked.

Lin Baoyi has several classmates who work in the publishing house, and introduced Fan Xiaoyue to him first, mainly considering this problem.

But now it seems that his wish is going to be frustrated.

"Making a lot of money in a muffled voice is the king, let other publishing houses operate this book, and when the time comes, it will be in an uproar, I XXXX" Zhao Xingchi was depressed when he thought of this.

Wang Dezhong didn't know what happened to him, so he didn't believe his words, but thought that he was being humble, and looked at him more and more appreciatively: "You kid, you are still modest in front of Uncle Wang." ”

Stephen Zhao: "......"

Wang Dezhong sent him directly to his door before leaving.

Zhao Xingchi turned around and entered the door, his mother Lin Baoyi was cleaning the room, and when he saw him coming back, he immediately asked, "What is the result, what did your Aunt Xiaoyue say?" ”

"I don't know what the result is, but I see Aunt Xiaoyue's attitude, and she should have concerns." Zhao Xingchi told the truth, and then smiled: "But it doesn't matter, I can also find other publishing houses." Cast a few more casts, cast nets to fish, and there will always be publishers who will dare to publish my book. ”

Although Lin Baoyi was a little worried, he also knew that what he said was good, so he nodded and responded: "What you said is also true." Your book is fully qualified for publication, but because of concerns, there should be publishers who have enough courage. ”

I went upstairs and went back to my room.

Zhao Xingchi quickly opened the laptop, and then found the contact information of several well-known publishing houses in China, and sent the electronic version of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to the other party's mailbox.

In addition to the People's Publishing House, there are many well-known publishing houses in China, such as famous universities and provincial publishers, provincial and municipal publishing houses, and several private publishing houses, publishing houses set up by foreign capital in China, and publishing houses of major state-owned enterprises......

Among these, Stephen Zhao chose one publishing house in each category, and the last one was voted for fourteen.

Among these publishing houses, Stephen Zhao values two the most, one is Silian Publishing House and the other is Youth Publishing House.

Silian Publishing House is a large publishing house located in the magic capital, taking the route of catering to the public, positive and healthy image, and most of the books published are in line with the aesthetics and reading interests of modern youth, which is relatively fashionable. Of course, it is obviously a bit false to say this, but let's talk about the series of books published by Silian Publishing House over the years, from Tianhe Sanren's "Nine Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain", "Dragon and Tiger Yao Kyoto" by Jin Gu Tan, to He Changzai's "Fairy Sword", and "Lingshan" by Fish and Dragon Dance...... And so on, you can know how bold the style of exploration of Silian Publishing House is.

Tianhe Sanren, Modern and Ancient Talks, He Changzai, Fish and Dragon Dance, ......, these are all martial arts masters, and the books they write are all martial arts novels.

Silian Publishing House even dared to publish martial arts novels that were despised by the traditional cultural circle in the past, and it has been smooth sailing, so what is it to publish "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?

Youth Publishing House, just look at the name and know the positioning of this publishing house.

Zhao Xingchi also read the series of books published by the Youth Publishing House over the years, and saw "Li Zicheng" and "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" in them, which are obviously three points false and seven points true.

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" writes history in the style of a novel, which seems absurd, but it is better than historical novels like "Li Zicheng". Since Youth Publishing House, a state-owned publishing house, is not afraid that novels like "Li Zicheng" will affect young people, it is naturally not afraid that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will affect young people.

After finishing the submission, Stephen Zhao put aside those worries and began to think about what to write in the next book.

The content of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is all in his head, and he is not afraid of being urged, so he can wait until the publishing contract is finalized before starting to code out all the content.

On the other side, after Wang Dezhong drove home.

As soon as he saw his wife Li Xuelan, Wang Dezhong couldn't help but start gossiping: "Xuelan, do you know who I saw in Changnan today?" It's Stephen Zhao's kid. However, you would never have thought of what Zhao Xingchi went to Changnan City to do. ”

"What is he doing in Changnan City?" Li Xuelan asked curiously at the right time.

There is no doubt that if you want to ask who knows Wang Dezhong best, it can only be Li Xuelan. Wang Dezhong's gossip psychology is very serious, so she has to satisfy him well.

And seeing his wife like this, Wang Dezhong's gossip was suddenly gone, although he used to do it often.

"Stephen Zhao, this kid is actually engaged in literary creation, and now he is beginning to seek publication." Wang Dezhong then replied lightly.

"Oh." Li Xuelan responded calmly, and then went about her own work.

Wang Dezhong smiled and touched his nose awkwardly.

It just so happened that at this time, Wang Meixia was coming down from upstairs, carrying an LV bag on her shoulder, dressed up beautifully and ready to go out.

Wang Dezhong immediately became angry: "What? Going out again? Don't you know that Lu Dao is working hard for himself? Look at Stephen Zhao, the books he wrote have begun to be published; Look at you again? Aren't you shy? ”

"Stephen Zhao wants to publish a book?" Wang Meixia was stunned for a moment, a little surprised in her heart, but when she heard her father's words, she immediately lowered her face, "cut", and said disdainfully: "Dad, not everyone can publish a book." It's not that I look down on him, he doesn't have the talent to publish a book at all, who knows if Lu Dao was ghostwritten by Aunt Lin. ”

"You ......" Wang Dezhong was so angry that he couldn't speak.
