In terms of the Internet, Qi Jie got the exact news from the foggy sky, and she will be arranged for an interview in the near future, as for the rest, Qi Jie can only find someone to discuss.

For things to evolve to this point, the great writer almost has no face to face Qi Jie.

The result of the final discussion between the two was that it was impossible to defeat Daxiang Publishing House in the form of an online article, and if they wanted to be upright, they had to send a physical book!

The ideal is plump, but the reality is reality after all.

The great writer contacted all the publishing houses he could contact, but none of them were willing to publish it.

This is obviously the ghost of Daxiang Publishing House.

Someone even secretly told them that in the listing, absolutely no publishing house would publish their book, and persuaded Qi Jie and the others to die as soon as possible.

After a busy day with nothing, Qi Jie was physically and mentally exhausted, and it was not until late at night that he finished updating the day's five watches.

"Today I made beef bibimbap, you can eat a little."

The fat-faced girl saw Qi Jie's listless appearance, and she was distressed.

"No, I'm tired, let me rest, please!"

Qi Jie smiled reluctantly, entered the door, and threw the whole person into the soft bed.

The fat-faced girl leaned against the door, looking at the delicious meal, but she didn't know what to eat.

"Qi Jie ......"

"Huh?"

"Do you remember when you promised me?"

"What?"

Qi Jie rubbed the pillow and turned her head, with tiredness between her eyebrows.

"Didn't we say okay, you can just write and I'll take care of the rest."

"That's it."

Qi Jie smiled. Very faint, slightly weak.

"Hmm."

After receiving the reply, the fat-faced girl walked out of Qi Jie's bedroom satisfied.

This night, Qi Jie's dream was extremely chaotic for the first time, and many pictures that he had seen and had never seen appeared in his dream, like a silent picture.

She was lying on the bed, and there seemed to be a force pressing her against the bed, unable to move.

Click, click!

In the dream, the bedroom door rang, and someone opened the door with a key outside the door, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get up.

Ha!!

Huhuhu!!

Qi Jie sat up from the bed abruptly, gasping for air.

"Original...... It's a dream. ”

The sky was already white, Qi Jie got up and just walked to the door, washed up, changed into sportswear and left the room.

No matter how busy Qi Jie is, she maintains the habit of running in the morning every day.

After a while, the door suddenly opened, Xiao Fang looked at the door that had been closed, and then opened the door of Qi Jie's bedroom.

On a piece of paper on the table are many phone numbers. Most of the numbers above have been crossed out with a gel pen, apparently those publishing houses and printers that have already been contacted.

Xiao Fang carefully put it away, then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and then went out with her bag.

"Hey, I'm the author of [Smiling Proud Jianghu]......"

Doodoooooo –

"Hello, is it Huangguang Publishing House, well, I am the author of [Smiling Proud Jianghu]...... yes, oh, okay, so do you have time tomorrow? And what about the day after tomorrow, what?? I didn't have time to ......."

"Hello, my name is Sun Xiaofang, well, I got your phone number from Tang Wen, what? Oh thanks, okay, goodbye. ”

……

……

Xiao Fang walked in front of every publishing house in the market, large and small, constantly dialing one phone call after another, but the voice on the phone was like the surrounding buildings, cold and ruthless.

The autumn sun was not as fierce as in summer, but people still gave it the nickname "Autumn Tiger", and her clothes were wet with sweat, and locks of hair stuck to her face, and the chubby girl looked embarrassed in the hurried crowd.

But she didn't see all this, her mouth was dry, she unscrewed the lid of the mineral water, poured a few large mouthfuls of water, and then wiped the sweat beads on her head with her cuffs, and then ran to the next destination.

The sun is like a punctual clock, it rises in the east and sets in the west.

In the dim night, the weather was slightly cold.

The faint light on the side of the road shrank for a moment, and then walked on the deserted road with her arms crossed and her stomach alone.

Bell Bell Bell –

The phone rang suddenly, and she scrambled to pull it out of her pocket.

When she saw that the caller ID showed the word "Qi Jie", she took a deep breath.

"Hello? I'm in the city, and I met a friend I hadn't seen for a long time on the road today, and we played with it for a while. What, eating? I've eaten, I've eaten early, and my stomach is still swollen, well, I may not go back today, I'll ask them to go to karaoke with me in a while, no need, no need to wait for me, don't worry, who dares to mess with our eldest sister's head trio, put your heart in your stomach, good, that's it, no, they called me, I'll go first, ah, bye. ”

She gasped for a few breaths at her phone and hung up.

A gust of wind blew, and she shivered coldly.

"It's so cold, I already knew to wear more clothes."

The road was deserted, she was alone, the mountains in the distance turned into black ink, the trees seemed to be turned into ghosts, constantly waving their branches, and gusts of wind were blowing, just like the scene before the heavy snow.

"To tell you the truth, if no one publishes it for you, you will die, if you can pay for it yourself, I can tell you a way, if you want to say that Daxiang has said hello to everyone, but there is one person he will definitely not eat this set, but the people in this printing house are very strange, whether you can do it can only depend on yourself."

"The name of the printing house is Chenda, which is a relatively large manufacturer engaged in printing on our list, why not give Daxiang face, because there is no need, Chenda itself even operates several bookstores, the scale of the bookstore is not large, but it is also considered to be at the upper middle level, so I said, get Chenda, you are half of the matter!"

Xiao Fang's mind came to mind what a kind boss told her.

——

——

……

Hujiang Bookstore.

A middle-aged man with a stern countenance, he looked around at the clean and tidy bookstore, and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand.

"Boss, the printing house called and said that the girl who was guarding the factory gate had left a few days ago."

"Have you found out?"

"Not at the moment, it looks like he should be a student, but he just said what book he wants us to publish, and the details are not clear."

"In fact, the girl has been following us for the past few days, but every time she was stopped by the security guards, they don't have a good way to follow this kind of close tracking, not to mention that the other party is still a little girl."

The middle-aged man was about to speak, when suddenly the secretary raised the phone in his hand.

"Let's go back to the headquarters, this matter has been watched by the factory, try not to do anything, if she is entangled again...... You can give her some money to let her go. ”。

"This may not require ......"

"Huh?"

"Actually, we've tried this method, no matter how much money she gives her, she doesn't want it, she just wants to meet you, and it should be related to publishing."

The middle-aged man didn't care, and waved his hand and said: "Let her be, young people like to take shortcuts, it is understandable, the final decision is still up to us." ”

A group of company employees in suits and leather shoes followed behind the middle-aged man, and a group of nearly ten people walked out of the bookstore.

As soon as the sensor door at the door opened, a cool breeze mixed with the night and enveloped the person.

The middle-aged man was unmoved, and his expression was extremely serious from beginning to end.

If anyone knows Qi Jie and this middle-aged man, if you look closely, you will find that the two of them are similar in expression, temperament and style.

Just like the proprietress of a really good hotel said, there is a kind of person who will invisibly exude a kind of breath. Often this kind of person is very serious and focused on anything, and will go all out to devote himself to any career!

Out of the bookstore, there is a staircase with twenty or thirty steps, Hujiang Bookstore is located in a corner of the downtown park, looking at night, it seems to be a loft in the sky, beautiful.

At night, many people choose to play here to relax after a long day.

On the steps, there are people sitting in each other's arms, some people are walking side by side with a family of three, and some people are jumping on the steps, sometimes flashing with bright lights, and printing their own images on the photos......

In a corner, a chubby girl gobbled up, stuffed the bread in her hand into her mouth in three or two bites, and then drank all the bottles of mineral water in one go.

"An Xianseng, you wait a minute."

The girl didn't bother to wipe the crumbs off her face, and ran away at the middle-aged man, her mouth slurred because she was still chewing.

The middle-aged man just turned his head to look at it, and then walked straight down the steps, but the girl was stopped by two security guards.

"Mr. An, please listen to me, give me five minutes, just five minutes, Mr. An!"

"Miss, please don't harass our boss, if you have anything, you can call the front desk of Chenda Group, if Mr. An is willing to see you, he will make an appointment, ah!"

Xiao Fang was in a hurry, opened her mouth and bit the hand of the chattering security personnel, and then she rushed out of the other party's block.

"Mr. An, Mr. An, listen to me, this matter is really important to me, please."

Xiao Fang rushed down the steps, and when she saw that the middle-aged man was about to get into the car, she grabbed the other party's arm in a hurry and pleaded.

The middle-aged man turned around, and only then did the security guard come, one of whom was still holding the bitten hand.

Under his disgruntled gaze, the two security personnel bowed their heads guiltily.

"I didn't mean to, Mr. An, I really have something to tell you."

The middle-aged man looked at her solemnly, and she had been in the upper position for a long time, and ordinary people often flinched under the gaze of the middle-aged man, especially on this occasion.

But the girl in front of him was still holding his arm tightly.

"Mr. An, please, I only delay your work for a short time, okay?" A few days of sleeping in the open made her look like a crazy woman, with her hair disheveled.

"This young lady, let's let go of our hands first, okay?" The assistant next to her tried to break her hand away, but the slender fingers seemed to take root.

"Mr. An, do you promise me, promise me?"

The middle-aged man frowned, his face showing impatience.

Eventually, he nodded.

Only then did the chubby-faced girl let go of her hand, which was white from the exertion, and she touched the hair that was sticking to her face.

"That's right, Mr. An, a friend of mine wants to publish a novel, and it's at his own expense......"

"I refuse."

Xiao Fang's voice stopped abruptly, as if all hope had been cut off at once.

"I've finished listening, is there anything else? If not, I can go now. ”

The middle-aged man didn't even look at her, bent over and sat in the car, and the security guard hurriedly stopped in the middle of the car to prevent her from rushing up again.

The black Mercedes starts slowly, and the red taillights light up, dyeing the exhaust fumes from the exhaust pipe red.

Xiao Fang stood for a long time, and an inexplicable coldness penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Bentley walked farther and farther, and an inexplicable look appeared on Xiaofang's slightly chubby face, and then he took a step to chase after him.

Inside the car, the driver looked in the rearview mirror, and then told the middle-aged man what was going on behind the car, and the middle-aged man just raised his hand, and Bentley instantly sped up.

In the rearview mirror, the fat-faced girl ran desperately in the crowded traffic, the light passed over her face, and she could clearly see the dense beads of sweat the size of soybeans.

"It's a red light."

The Bentley stopped at the intersection and the driver spoke.

The middle-aged man closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Bang bang bang

He sighed and opened his eyes.

"Mr. An, you open the window, this matter is really important to me, you can do well, just pity me and help me."

The car window slowly fell, Xiao Fang wiped her face with a smile, and soon there were tears and sweat beads under her eyes.

"You have been guarding the gates of my printing house for a week, and then you have been following me for almost a week, should I admire your perseverance, or should I call the police to arrest you and accuse you of harassment?"

The middle-aged man said in a serious tone.

"As long as you agree, I'm willing to be locked up, please, you will give me a chance, just once, okay?"

"You said that this matter is very important to you, okay, show me your sincerity, how far can you do for this? Show me proof of action. ”

Night.

The lights are flashing and the neon lights are colorful.

The road is full of traffic, headlights, horns, shouting, laughing...... Converge into a landscape that can only be found in the city.

Crossroads, in front of traffic lights.

The black Bentley was slightly fluttering by the motor, and the exhaust fumes escaped down the exhaust pipe. Before the rain had dried, a slightly chubby girl knelt on the ground in embarrassment.

The crimson light covers the stars in the sky, and the high-rise buildings stand between heaven and earth like giant pillars.

It's a cold and unforgiving steel city, but it's still there: friendship, affection, love......

[It is estimated that some people will say this, here is an explanation, do not copy the process of domestic publishing, and set China as a developed country in the world, not only leading the world in science and technology, but also the legal system is extremely sound. If there is a problem with a book, then the publisher, the printer, and the bookstore are jointly and severally liable. 】

[Another one is, this chapter is scheduled for three chapters, mainly highlighting the fat-faced girl, but the plot is more abusive, so it is condensed into one chapter. The author of this kind of plot knows that it is not written well, but like the garden, although the collection has been dropped, I still haven't changed it, I hope this is a world, I hope she can have bones and flesh, not characters with only faces. Nearly 7,000 words of content have been reduced to nearly 4,000, regardless of chapters, and can only be done here. 】
