Chapter 301: Literary Liar
The friend pretended.
"Not only am I signing a contract with the magazine, but I also want to publish a book of poetry, if you have a good relationship with me, you can consider inserting your text into it."
As soon as Xinyi heard that as long as she could show her face, it would be quite good, and she didn't think about making money at all, so she immediately said happily.
"That's great, but how can I have a good relationship with you!"
Xinyi is extremely serious about this matter, and she dreams that her words can be published publicly.
The friend continued.
"With such a big person, why is it not clear that the relationship is good! It's up to you to do it yourself. β
Xinyi was confused by this friend, although it is good to be able to show her face publicly, but if you really have to make certain sacrifices, it is not worth it.
Besides, the friend said that he signed a contract to sit at home, but the membership card was too simple, just like a general certificate, write his name with a carbon pen, and then paste a photo, except for a red stamp below, there is nothing special about it.
At that time, Xinyi didn't understand much, so she asked a special question.
"How can this membership card be made like a student card, I feel that it is not authoritative at all, and I have never heard of this magazine."
Later, the friend changed his words and said with a serious face.
"This ...... Let's not talk about the membership card, if you want to insert the text into my poetry collection, I may not be able to use this matter. β
Xinyi was also a little too naΓ―ve, that friend didn't even know the truth of the magazine she signed with, and even asked for a good relationship.
Xinyi thought of this time and began to murmur secretly in her heart.
"Isn't it just a sign for a magazine? What's the big deal, it's still selling with me, I just want to show my face, I didn't expect it to be so difficult. β
In fact, that friend was deceiving Xinyi, even if he really had a poetry collection to be published, it was impossible to let Xinyi's words be inserted into it, and that friend did not have that power.
Xinyi carefully considered the friend's suggestion, and told relatives and friends about it, saying that her text would soon be published in the magazine.
After Xinyi's relatives and friends heard the news, they kept complimenting Xinyi, saying that Xinyi was so powerful that she could publish words in the magazine media, and she really hadn't written in vain for so many years.
Xinyi waited for a month and a month, and she had to pat that friend every day, but she never saw that friend ask her for a manuscript.
Xinyi couldn't bear it, so she asked openly.
"When will my text be published in your work?"
The friend immediately boasted.
"My book of poems is in the printing press! It is estimated that there will be news in the second half of the year, and the author of the famous author will be signed on each book. β
As soon as Xinyi heard that this was really okay, she immediately began to flatter.
"Wow! You're amazing, aren't you? Not only published a poetry collection, but also signed by famous artists, I am really envious! Can I also sign my text with my real name?"
The friend said without thinking.
"Of course, if we have a close relationship, I will insert your text into it without even noticing."
As soon as Xinyi heard why she had to act in secret, and her words were not unsightly, she immediately asked with a puzzled face.
"It's better for my writing to be published publicly through the leadership, rather than unnoticed."
The friend immediately said with a serious face.
"You can do whatever you want, as long as I say a word, I guarantee that it will be fine."
Xinyi was suddenly a little puzzled in her heart, what role did her friend play, why did he do it so well in one sentence!
Xinyi was also embarrassed to expose the matter, so that her words would not have a chance to be published, she said tentatively.
"It's incredible that you can even participate in publishing this kind of thing, don't you even need to review it, as long as you can do it all with one sentence."
The friend continued to speak righteously.
"I'm the contractor, and I'm also in charge of some things, so I definitely have a say."
Xinyi didn't want to wait that long, she felt that this matter seemed to be a scam, but she wanted to show her face in his poetry collection, since there was still some hope for things, no matter what, Xinyi would stick to it, wouldn't it be a few months? Wait patiently for a while and it will pass.
Xinyi won't bother that friend for the time being, let's wait patiently!
Occasionally, Xinyi would go to the Internet to check for some news about this friend, but when she searched on the Internet, not only did she not find this magazine, but even the person he said was not found.
At this time, Xinyi felt a little panicked, this friend swore that he could help Xinyi, and several months passed in a blink of an eye, but there was no news at all.
After another few months, Xinyi couldn't bear it anymore, she thought about it and thought about it, and then said very sincerely.
"When will my text be inserted into your poetry collection, it's been more than half a year in the blink of an eye, and there is no news at all."
Xinyi said while thinking in her heart, this friend can't be a big liar! Why does this thing always feel weird.
As soon as the friend saw that the timing was just right, he linked to a website for Xinyi, and then pretended to be deep.
"This link is my published work, and if you want me to insert the text in the poetry collection, I will basically be rewarded."
Xinyi hurriedly opened the link sent by the friend, and then saw that it said beautiful film software, and she said with some puzzlement.
"Can these things still be rewarded? How much money does it cost? β
The friend pondered for a moment, then continued.
"This depends on your mood, there are thousands of tips, and there are hundreds of tips, everything is as you like."
Xinyi flipped the page up and down, she didn't feel that there was anything special about these words, but if she asked for help, of course she had to continue to flatter.
Xinyi pretended to savor the text and praised again and again.
"You write so well, it deserves to be signed at home, this shot is extraordinary, if my level can be half of yours, I will be satisfied."
When the friend heard Xinyi flattering him like this, he immediately laughed and said.
"Since my writing is so good, then give me a reward!"
After the friend finished speaking, he immediately sent a few screenshots of the reward to Xinyi.
Xinyi opened the picture and took a closer look, there were hundreds, dozens, but not thousands, Xinyi thought about it, then she would also reward! This price can't be too high or too low, or choose a mid-range price.
Xinyi's mind was hot, and she immediately rewarded 200 yuan, and the friend immediately said with a happy face when he saw that the reward had arrived in real time.
"Thank you for your support, I will definitely try to write well."
Xinyi regretted it a little after the reward, but she was embarrassed to ask for the money back, she said with some distress.
"If I download a piece of software here and then write an article, will someone tip me as well?"
The friend immediately said with a smile.
"Then it depends on the charm of your words, if you meet readers like you who like my words, you will definitely be able to make money."
This friend has used this method to deceive many people on the Internet, Xinyi and him have not known each other for a long time, and she is also eager to show her face, and she has no intention of thinking about these things at all.
Xinyi thought about it, she also had to download this software, and then send it to this friend, even if it was friendship support, that friend would be able to reward a hundred yuan! That way you won't lose too much.
Xinyi muttered quietly while downloading the software.
"What kind of routine is this friend! Other people write words to make money, but I didn't make a penny, I even posted two hundred, and there was no news about the insertion of his poetry collection. β
Xinyi downloaded the software as quickly as she could, then edited her own text, and sent the link to the friend.
When the friend looked at the link sent by Xinyi, he didn't even look at it, but just said with a compliment.
"Your writing skills are getting bigger! You write a few more, and then I insert your text into the collection of poems. β
Xinyi doesn't want to insert the poetry book for the time being, she just wants to get back the lost 200 yuan at present.
Xinyi also deliberately mobilized relatives and friends to reward her, and then she said to that friend.
"Look, everyone feels that this article is well written, and you also said that the level has improved a lot, so you can support me!"
When Xinyi said this, her heart was pounding, where is this writing to make money! It's like begging.
The friend opened the link again, read the article written by Xinyi, and then said with a natural expression.
"This reward is voluntary by the reader, not asked for everywhere, if someone likes it, they will naturally give you money, if you don't earn money, it means that no one appreciates your text at all."
Xinyi didn't mind whether anyone appreciated it at this time, she just wanted to get back the two hundred yuan, and when she saw that friend didn't mean anything about reciprocating courtesy, she immediately said eagerly.
"I didn't see how good your text was just now, so you can sponsor it in friendship, I'll give you a reward of two hundred, and you can give me a reward of one hundred."
That friend wasn't a signator to a magazine at all, he was just using false testimony to trick some text lovers who were eager to make a media appearance.
As soon as that friend heard that Xinyi was going to ask for money back, he had cheated all this money with great difficulty, how could he easily return it, and he was counting on this method to defraud more money!
Xinyi looked at the friend, neither rewarding nor speaking, just silent.
Xinyi is so angry in her heart! How did you meet such a friend, it turned out to be a cyber crook.
Xinyi waited for several days, but the friend still didn't give a penny, she took the initiative to find the friend again, and then asked with a displeased face.
"When will my words be published in your poetry collection?"
When the friend saw that Xinyi didn't mention the reward again, he said with a relieved face.
"It's coming, it's coming, you have to wait patiently for a few more months."
