Chapter 14: Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection!

Dressed in a white apron and simply tied her hair behind her head with a headband, she was not strong in the publishing house at all, only the virtuous person who disliked her good mother was left, and she didn't expect that Aunt Wang still had the potential to become a good wife and mother.

"Xiao Chen, just wait a while and buy the food." It was also said that Aunt Wang's food was much more delicious than Sister Zhao's, and she was happy to eat.

"Aunt, Zhao Xiangtang, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, is the mother of one of my classmates, I went to her house yesterday, she said that Yangcheng Daily is going to open up a novel section, so she asked me to write a manuscript, it just so happens that I have also written a new book recently, I want to try it, aunt, what do you think?"

"What kind of novel is suitable for publication?" Wang Ni.

"I also brought the manuscript, here you can take a look." Su Shichen handed the manuscript of "TheRed-HeadedLeague" to Wang Ni.

The article "The Red-HeadedLeague" is translated in Chinese as "The Red-HeadedLeague".

One of the fifty-six short stories in Sherlock Holmes.

"Mystery novels?"

"The Red Hair Club" is not long, and the full text is only more than 21,000 words, so I read it quickly according to Wang Ni's review speed.

"In recent years, due to the release of some detective movies and TV series, mystery novels have become popular, and many authors have picked up the pen to create their own mystery novels, but because of the logic and intensive thinking required by mystery novels, countless newcomers have hit the streets, so the classification of mystery novels is also known as the grave of mystery novels, and at least one hundred mystery novels submitted to our publishing house will not necessarily be published."

"Among them, reasoning short stories are even more so, because of the length, they must be described in extremely concise words, and the most important thing is to lay the foreshadowing, so it is very difficult to write a good short reasoning novel, but Xiao Chen, your reasoning novel is very well written, it is to use the first-person Watson tone to describe the case, this kind of writing is very novel, and Zuihou's reasoning as the protagonist of the case, Sherlock Holmes, is also very reasonable, in general, this is a very haode reasoning novel." Wang Ni's review is very professional.

"Xiao Chen, you're planning to write a series, the series of Sherlock Holmes solving crimes, right?" Sure enough, he is worthy of being the editor-in-chief, and he is right in his words.

"Yes, just like my aunt said, I plan to write a Sherlock Holmes detective collection, and I have already written two short stories and a novella, by the way, can my aunt's short stories be published on Yangcheng Daily?" Wang Ni pondered for a moment, "It's enough, although the protagonist and background of the story are both British, and there will be a lack of some sense of substitution, but the excellent quality of the work can completely make up for this loophole." ”

Hearing Wang Ni's words, Su Shichen breathed a sigh of relief, although he thought so in his heart, but listening to Wang Ni, the editor-in-chief of a professional publishing house, was tantamount to being more professional.

"Xiao Chen, if your next articles can maintain this level, this collection of mystery novels can definitely become a bestseller, and the results are definitely above "The Legend of Wukong", and it can even become your masterpiece." Wang Ni.

"Hello, I'll send the manuscript to the newspaper tomorrow."

"Xiao Chen, tomorrow you have to talk to the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily about this matter?"

"Yes" Wang Ni pinched her chin with her fingers, fell into deep thought, didn't know what she was thinking, he didn't dare to disturb, so she could only stay quietly aside.

"Xiao Chen, tomorrow my aunt will go with you to talk about the manuscript"

"Huh? Oh"

Speculative novels are different from the rest of the novels, each case is independent from each other, and it is not that the book cannot be published if it is published above the newspaper, plus the sales of Yangcheng Daily in Yangcheng are not low, and this new book will play a very good reputation accumulation, and after reaching a certain level, the short stories published in the newspaper will be collected and published, which is the most haode, and Wang Ni is afraid that Su Shichen will suffer a loss and sell the copyright to the newspaper together, so she asked to go together.

On Saturday, he stayed at home and coded 30,000 words in one day, of course, this is nothing compared to those great gods, but for Su Shichen, this has to be regarded as a great miracle.

The next day, Sunday, that is, the day when he made an appointment with Zhao Tangtang to read the manuscript, Su Shichen took Wang Ni's car and came to Tang Lingyu's house together.

"Chenchen is finally here, Sister Zhao has been waiting for a long time." Zhao Tangtang's eyes turned to Wang Ni, "Who is this?" ”

"Wang Ni, deputy editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, is in charge of the negotiation of Xiao Chen's new book." After a pause, he continued: "Xiao Chen's new book this time is a mystery novel, and he has already created several short stories and several novellas, and the number of words has reached more than 200,000 words, which is more than the total number of words in "The Legend of Wukong", so in order to show the importance of our publishing house to Xiao Chen, I will act as an agent for the negotiation of this new book. ”

Su Shichen on the side couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, worthy of being the editor-in-chief of the publishing house who really didn't blink when he talked nonsense, and there were a few short stories and a few novellas, and more than 200,000 words, feeling that Yali Mountain was big.

"Since Ms. Wang Ni is the editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, you naturally know that mystery novels are known as the grave of new writers, and although Chenchen's first book "The Legend of Wukong" has achieved good results, there is no commonality between "The Legend of Wukong" and mystery novels."

The person who can be the editor-in-chief is not a simple character, Fang Cai Wang Ni's words are actually a meaning, a writer that Su Shichen Publishing House values very much, don't want to poach people, let alone just offer a price to make his new work serialized in newspapers and magazines.

And the meaning of Zhao Tangtang's words is also obvious, speculative novels are a very difficult subject, and although Su Shichen's first novel "The Legend of Wukong" sold well, he is still a newcomer in the final analysis, and "The Legend of Wukong" is 108,000 miles different from speculative novels, and it may not sell well.

"What is the quality of Xiao Chen's novels, Editor-in-Chief Zhao, you can read it yourself, this is one of the short stories."

"The Red Hair Club" was reviewed in a few minutes, and it is undeniable that the quality of this novel is indeed very good, when he heard that Su Shichen's new book was a speculative novel, Zhao Tangtang felt a little resistant in his heart, thinking that Su Shichen was a little proud of his success.

However, now it seems that this mature narrative method and meticulous logic all show that the mystery novels written by Su Shichen are high-quality, and even more exciting than which mystery novels are being serialized by Fang Mi, a first-class writer who came to the "Morning Talks", I have to say that Su Shichen is indeed a real genius young writer.

Rough outline of "The Redheads": [In the fall of 1890, Dr. Watson visited Sherlock Holmes and learned of a strange incident that had happened to Jebate Wilson, a red-haired pawnshop merchant.

Two months ago, Vincent Spaulding, a guy at Jebez's pawnshop, told him about the Redheads, which, according to Vincent, were set up according to the will of a red-haired millionaire in the United States, and the interest on the estate was used to give red-haired men a comfortable errand.

So as long as you are selected, you can do very little work, and you can pay £4 a week. However, two months later, he suddenly learns that the Redhead will go out of business, so he asks Sherlock Holmes for help.

Holmes immediately suspected that the half-new fellow had a conspiracy. After reasoning and verification, Jones, the head of the bank near the pawnshop and the police officer of Scotland Yard, waited in the bank's underground vault late at night, and when Vincent (actually the repeat offender John Clay) appeared from the pawnshop to the bank's tunnel, he and his red-haired accomplice, the head of the Red-haired Society, were arrested.

Sherlock Holmes reasoned that the Redhead's purpose was to get the boss out of the store for a few hours so that he could dig a tunnel to the basement of the bank, and his investigation with Watson in the morning supported this reasoning, and he caught the culprit. 】

The story is novel, please let the mystery novel just be a homicide pattern, and the ending is ingenious.

"Ms. Zhao Tang, since you are the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, your vision is naturally not low, I believe that Xiao Chen has a certain understanding of the insights and level of mystery novels." Wang Ni.

"Yo yo, Chenchen didn't expect you to be so good at writing mystery novels, why don't you tell Sister Zhao." Zhao Tang.

Next, Wang Ni, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, and Wang Ni, editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, had a heated discussion, and the main content of the discussion was the price of his new work "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" serialized on Yangcheng Daily.

Su Shichen had some happiness in his heart, fortunately he brought Wang Ni here, otherwise he would definitely be eaten to death by Zhao Tangtang.

Needless to say, Wang Ni, the editor-in-chief of Iceberg, is very strong both in work and in life, but Zhao Tangtang is not left behind at all, don't think that Zhao Tangtang is really a very cute and cute young lady Lori, and the person who can be the deputy editor-in-chief of a first-class newspaper like Yangcheng Daily is definitely not a simple character.

I used to be more cute than Lori when I was eating.,But now it's completely a strong woman.,Sure enough, women are fickle.。

I don't know how long the discussion lasted, Zhao Tangtang and Wang Ni got up and shook hands, which means that the negotiation is over.

"Chenchen, do you want to have a light meal at Sister Zhao's house to celebrate our happy cooperation?" Zhao Tangtang took Su Shichen's hand very kindly.

Eating, just thinking about it, he couldn't help but shudder, just as he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, Wang Ni spoke first.

She said, "Xiexie Zhao is kind to editor-in-chief, but today is my birthday, Xiao Chen said that he would go to my house for his birthday, so I'm sorry." ”

Aunt Wang's birthday? Is it Aunt Wang's birthday today? And when to say haode?

Su Shichen looked at Wang Ni with a puzzled gaze, but was ignored by Wang Ni.

"Today turned out to be Editor-in-Chief Wang's birthday, happy birthday."

"Chenchen, next time I go to Sister Zhao's house, Sister Zhao will get you French Western food." Saying that, Zhao Tang also winked at Su Shichen.

Get! After the negotiation is over, she will become a young lady again.

"It's my aunt's birthday today, why didn't you tell me earlier, I haven't prepared a gift yet."

"No, my aunt misremembered, today is not my aunt's birthday."

Misremembered? What's going on?

Aunt Wang did this completely because she didn't want him to be a guest at Tang Lingyu's house, but weishenme didn't want to? Could it be that Aunt Wang has a grudge against Sister Zhao? It shouldn't be according to the scene where the two met today, it should be the first time to meet, is it possible, is it possible that Sister Zhao called me Chenchen to look very affectionate, and Aunt Wang was jealous?

Su Shichen was also taken aback by his whimsical idea.

How is it possible, although he has a heart, but this body is only fourteen years old, and Aunt Wang also said that she is the same age as her daughter, how can she eat his jealousy.

"Xiao Chen"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Editor-in-chief Zhao is very shrewd, it's best not to contact except for official business, if there is official business, tell your aunt, and your aunt will accompany you." Is it best not to touch it except for business? Could it be that Aunt Wang is really jealous?

At two o'clock in the afternoon, he came to the Bada Shanren Training Institution on time, the first painting training, but the painting is quite difficult, the first class is more than three hours, he only learned the method of writing, and a little bit of sketching knowledge, there is still a big gap from being able to draw comics by himself, but this is already a good beginning.

The next day, Monday.

Monday's flag-raising ceremony, the experimental junior high school has an interesting habit, generally speaking, the school's opening ceremony is held on the first day of school, but the experimental junior high school is not like this, the opening ceremony of each semester is held on the first Monday of the semester and the flag-raising ceremony, it is said that the purpose of this is to let students go to school for a few days to recover their minds, and then hold the opening ceremony is more effective.

The experimental junior high school is also one of the most Haode junior high schools in Yangcheng, so officials from the Education Bureau are invited to every opening ceremony, but this time it is Feng Xilan, the deputy director of the Education Bureau, who is invited.

"Teachers, students, as the principal of the experimental junior high school, I am very happy to stand on this stage again to give you a speech, in the past year, our experimental junior high school admission rate ranked in the top three in Yangcheng, this result is very good, there are so many excellent junior high schools in Yangcheng, and we can be ranked in the top three......"
