Ling Jingsu seems to be Wang Defu's female boss and financier, but in fact, she is also one of the female fans who admire him the most, and she has not even left any of his works behind.

She has always felt that Wang Defu's talent in the field of literature and his ability to control words are incomparable, and the best proof of her point of view is, of course, those prose and poetry full of the beauty of words.

It is precisely because she continues to pay attention to Wang Defu's movements in the literary world, so she knows that Wang Defu's own fame has increased very rapidly, as long as she is an insider who knows a little about literary and artistic creation, she has to obey Wang Defu's literary talent shown in his beautiful writings.

Therefore, of course, Ling Jingsu hopes that Wang Defu will use his own fame to promote "Red Rose" again, at least let "Red Rose" become the only one in Suzhou, which is not a big magazine.

Now that Ling Jingsu heard the news of Wang Defu's new work, she couldn't help but have a strong sense of curiosity, if she could, of course she hoped that the other party's new work could be serialized in her magazine!

As for short stories, she actually dislikes them a little, and always feels that short stories will definitely not be as popular as long stories, and they won't be able to make a huge impact.

"What's the new feature, is it the same style as your previous one?" Ling Jingsu didn't shy away from anything, she felt that with her current close relationship with Wang Defu, it was not abrupt to ask him about the news of the new work.

"The style will definitely be different, it will be popular, the content will be something that no other writer has ever written, it will open up a new genre." Wang Defu smiled lightly.

"Since it is popular, wouldn't it be the most appropriate to put it on "Red Rose" serialized, don't you want "Red Rose" to have higher sales and greater influence?" Ling Jingsu seemed to have become the editor-in-chief who was dedicated to the sake of the magazine at this time, and he was devoting himself to the development of the magazine.

Wang Defu doesn't think that his next "Dragon's Head", which will open the underworld stream, is suitable for serialization on "Red Rose", but because of the influence of "Red Rose", it is still limited to Suzhou, and his new, natural readership, is in the magic capital.

After all, this is a work written with a very good atmosphere of the magic city in the background of the magic city xia district, and for the readers of the magic city, there is naturally a sense of substitution.

"Dragon's Head" was published on "Red Rose", and the risk was too great, and maybe his new pen name "Mo Xi" would be ruined.

And this time, since he decided to publish the physical book directly after writing it, he will not change such a decision, and the book is indeed suitable for reading in one sitting, rather than serializing it in a magazine one issue at a time.

Therefore, even if Ling Jingsu very much hopes that his new work can be published in "Red Rose", he will not agree.

Wang Defu was honest with Ling Jingsu about his thoughts, and he believed that the other party would not be unreasonable.

Ling Jingsu really didn't disappoint Wang Defu, she didn't bother with Wang Defu's new novel, in fact, she just heard that Wang Defu was going to challenge the underworld theme, she was a little unoptimistic in her heart.

Just because this is indeed a subject that other authors have never touched, and the underworld, a social cancer that is not a good thing at first hearing, will there really be readers willing to read works on this theme?

Ling Jingsu always felt that Wang Defu was relying on his own talent, so he dared to die like this, what is not good to write, he actually writes about the underworld, it is better to write about how to pick up girls in the scumbag protagonist!

Ling Jingsu could only retreat and asked, "Okay, then I don't expect your long story anymore, if it's short, can you give it to me before the next issue of "Red Rose" goes on sale?" ”

Ling Jingsu's tone was full of suspicion, because she felt more and more that Wang Defu had the potential to become a procrastination maniac, not because he was not fast in writing, but because he had obsessive-compulsive disorder in writing, and after writing, he always had to revise the article to perfection, which made his delivery very slow.

Wang Defu did not disappoint Ling Jingsu this time, he seemed to have already made up his mind about this short story, and said: "I will deliver the manuscript in three days, and it will always be in time to publish it in the next issue of "Red Rose", right?" ”

"As long as you say you do it, you can do it. But I have to order it tomorrow, since the next issue of "Red Rose" has a short debut novel like yours in the literary world, I will definitely make a special feature for you and promote it for you. And the remuneration I give you will be 10 silver dollars per thousand words, is this price very sincere and worthy of your reputation? ”

I have to say that Ling Jingsu is indeed very courageous, and she also trusts Wang Defu's strength very much, and the gimmick of Wang Defu's short debut must be very attractive to those loyal readers who pay attention to him.

Many of these loyal readers may be campus students, and perhaps "Red Rose" can greatly expand its market among students through this wave of operations.

"Jingsu, you're still too polite, but since you trust me so much, my short story won't disappoint you, it's about more than six thousand words, but I didn't expect it to bring a lot of extra money, you are much more powerful than those prose magazines here."

"It's good that you know...... So, when are you going to start writing, I think I'll have to supervise you well, or you'll definitely have to procrastinate. ”

"It's not early today, I'll rest first, and I'll start writing tomorrow."

……

Wang Defu wanted to write this short story, which was inspired by the birthday dinner he had attended before, and one of the gorgeous noblewomen attracted his attention, especially the very shiny and expensive diamond necklace around her neck, which couldn't help but remind him of a short story from his world-famous short story writer Maupassant.

The name of this short story is "The Necklace", and the story tells the story of Mathilde, the wife of a young civil servant, who borrows a diamond necklace from a friend to show off her beauty in order to attend a party. Unexpectedly, the necklace was accidentally lost on the way home. She had to borrow money to buy a new necklace and return it to her friend. In order to pay off her debts, she cut back on food and clothing, worked for others for a short time, and worked hard for ten years. Eventually, it was revealed that the necklace he had borrowed was a fake diamond necklace.

Wang Defu decided to write a short story, that is, the Chinese version of "Necklace", because he thought this story was very interesting, and he could also use this article to satirize some things, which was quite in-depth and could arouse readers' thinking.
