Su's father, who is known for his love of work, unexpectedly skipped half a day of work the next day, because he really didn't have the energy to get up and go to work again because he read too late yesterday.

"Alas, the novel is wrong!"

Su's father, who didn't get up until noon to wash, shook his head and sighed while washing.

Yesterday, he just wanted to roughly flip through this novel, and he unconsciously spent one night reading the entire novel, and then saw the ending, and found that the heroine was stupid and waited for ten years, and the result was that Yu Huai was already pregnant, and the child was about to be born! It's really for the sake of good Xiang, and he's still uncomfortable!

That's right, the ending that Yan Luo accidentally sent over is her magic version, the ending of the novel is not only not a lover who eventually becomes a family, but also a naked satire of the so-called lovers, in the face of time, in the face of temptation, the so-called feelings are just a layer of green yarn, and the wind blows lightly and breaks, and then what you see is this realistic and fucked up society!

Although he was not lightly stimulated by Yan Luo's ending, Su's father still recommended the novel to his friends with his words.

"Yo, Qinghe! I'm flattered that a big banker like you deigned to call me! ”

As soon as the phone was connected, Dad Su's phone came with Li Baohua's joking joke.

That's right, Su's father's so-called old friend is Li Baohua of Liunian Publishing House.

"Lao Li, you are an old man who is not repairing, how can you still be like this, can you die if you don't damage me?"

"I can die!"

"Then I'll see if you die?"

……

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they finally got to the point.

"That's right, Lao Li. I have a novel here that I want to publish, I spent one night reading it yesterday, and it is really well written, and it even reminds me of my own student days, so I want to ask you to help me publish it! ”

"I'm curious about the novels you said they were good!"

Li Baohua is really curious, you must know that Su Qinghe in his impression is a workaholic, a career-oriented man who has no interest in one look, so even the novels that this kind of man thinks are good are probably really good.

"The name of the novel is the best of us, I have already sent it to your mailbox, you will see it later!"

After hanging up the phone, the more Li Baohua pondered, the more he felt that the name of this novel was very familiar, and when he opened the computer and saw the email, he realized why he felt familiar, because the novels recommended to him by Su Qinghe and Zhang Liming were called the best of us!

"It's kind of interesting!"

Li Baohua chuckled, then opened the two documents at the same time, and then compared them and found that the two novels were indeed the same!

Two people who can't beat him actually recommend the same novel to him, either the author is well-connected, or the novel is really well written, or both!

Li Baohua naturally won't read the novel from the beginning to the end like Su's father, what he sees is the plot, that is, the direction, just grasp the center and ten lines at a glance!

"It's a good novel!"

Two hours later, Li Baohua had already roughly finished reading the novel, and then he had to admit that this was a very good novel, different from the bloody early love, abortion and terminal illness of youth novels at this stage, this novel is very clean, clean to the point that it makes people feel a little monotonous and boring, but isn't this the real youth like this, maybe that's what makes Su Qinghe resonate, after all, they are all people who grew up on the same path.

However, the ending of the novel is a bit too cruel, too realistic, and incompatible with the mood and atmosphere of the whole novel, giving him the feeling that all the warmth and joy of the whole novel are all prepared to make the ending more unexpected, which reminds him of a writer who died young - like water sadness, and the same is true of her novels, happy in the early stage, twists and turns in the middle stage, and naked tragedy in the later stage, and now this best book has a very sad charm like water!

Hey, wait!

After Li Baohua turned off the document sent to him by Su Qinghe, he found that the word count of the two documents was different, and even the number of pages was not the same! That said, there are definitely changes in the two novels.

As an old editor who has been working on the front line for a long time, Li Baohua has extremely rich review experience, so he discovered the truth in less than half an hour, and it turned out that the ending was different!

Of course, it is different, one is to practice Mr. Lu Xun's oath of "tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for people to see", and the other is to follow the public opinion to the ending of joy!

But now the question is, which version should be used if the novel is published?

If it was Li Baohua when he was young, then he would definitely choose tragedy, but as long as people are old, they will be soft-hearted and conservative, and they will start to like it, and everyone will be happy!

Forget it, what do you want to do so much, this kind of thing should respect the author's wishes!

Li Baohua shook his head and pulled himself out of the multiple-choice question, the work is like a writer's child, even if he has to compromise for various reasons, but it is always reluctant, so he might as well give the author a chance to choose now, and see how he will choose.

In the document sent by Su Qinghe, the author's name is written Yan Luo, presumably this is the author's real name, and the novel sent by Zhang Liming has the author's pen name: Yanran Yanluo.

Looking at these two names, Li Baohua suddenly felt a sense of trance, Yan Luo corresponds to Yan Luo, so doesn't Yan Ran correspond to Yan Ran? He didn't know how he suddenly had such a speculation, maybe it was just because the author's surname was Yan that reminded him of some of the past.

Picking up the phone on the table, Li Baohua asked the secretary to inform Wang Xuejun, after all, he was already a half-retired person, so Wang Xuejun still needed to publish this kind of thing.

"Mr. Li, are you looking for me?"

Wang Xuejun, who entered the door, asked respectfully.

"Xiao Wang, I have a novel sent by Zhang Liming here, called the best of us! I think the novel is good enough to be published, so it's up to you! ”

Listening to Li Baohua's words, Wang Xuejun couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that Zhang Liming actually had the ability to hand over the novel to Li Baohua, and he wanted to use Li Baohua to suppress me, naïve!

"Mr. Li, you are already a person who has been nursing for a long time, just leave this kind of trivial matter to the people below us to do, you can help us check it above!"

"Smack!"

Li Baohua patted the table and stood up, Wang Xuejun's words really made him very angry, and people almost pointed to his head and said: As soon as you retire the old man obediently watch from the sidelines, don't meddle in our affairs! ”

"Wang Xuejun, let me tell you, Lao Tzu hasn't retired yet!"

"Even if I retire, I can't allow you to make waves in front of me!"

The aging tiger is also a tiger, not to mention that the tiger is still there, so Li Baohua's anger successfully frightened Wang Xuejun, and he began to apologize with sincere fear:

"Mr. Li, you misunderstood me, I'm really just worried about your body!"

"Okay, in that case, you should hurry up and do the publication of this novel!"

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll do it right away!"

promised Wang Xuejun in person, and changed his appearance after leaving the door of Li Baohua's office.

"Hmph, old thing, don't you know that there is a method in this world called dragging? I'm going to put it off until you retire! ”
