"Editor Lu has such a good development prospect recently, so I want to ask you." Bai Yi'an continued to flatter, with a smile all over his face, if you look closely, you will know how fake the meaning of that smile is.

"First of all...... You have to have a good writer, you have to write a good article, and then you have to find a good publisher, and I have a place to recommend to you. Editor Lu opened the drawer of his desk, took a business card from it and handed it to him.

Bai Yi'an took a look: Xiangyue Publishing House.

He put it away quietly. "Thank you, Lu Edit."

"No, meeting a good author is an opportunity, but I can still help you with the choice of publishing house." Editor Lu smiled brightly.

Bai Yi'an exited the office and heard some people whispering.

"Why did he run to the editor's office?"

"I'm afraid it's also a wall grass, seeing the wind makes the rudder, and when I see others being useful, I go to meet them......"

"Alas...... At first, I wanted to say that his work was plagiarized, and I felt sorry for him. ”

"Maybe it's because I can't defend my rights, so I'll find another way."

“……”

One by one, there are noses and eyes, and Yiyu feels uncomfortable listening to it, although some people gossip about her, she just chose to turn a blind eye before. But the object of today's talk is Bai Yi'an, and how ugly and ugly the words are.

She was almost about to stand up and refute, but Bai Yi'an stopped her.

They went to a place that was as quiet as possible, "As long as you don't listen to this kind of thing, it's okay, there's no need to reason with them, it's very unobjective to say something about chasing after the wind and shadows." ”

"I just don't think I can stand it."

"When all the truth is revealed, all those who say one-sided things will shut up themselves."

They came to Xiangyue Publishing House again, but this time it was different, they came with a clearer mission.

When Editor Zhang saw them, he obviously recognized them, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Here we go again, this time we have to have a good talk." He led Yiyu and Bai Yi'an to a quiet conference room, where there was an antique tea set on the coffee table next to the sofa.

He skillfully operated it, scooped the tea leaves out of a wooden pot, looked very professional, and after a while, handed them a cup of tea.

"Drink, please...... Two, uh...... I don't know, it's inconvenient to know the names of the two. ”

"My surname is Bai, and her surname is Yi." Bai Yi'an introduced to him.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, Miss Yi, I see that you are all people who are interested in cooperating with us, if you have any questions, you can always tell me, and then, I take the liberty to ask, I also have some questions I want to ask, I don't know if you can answer?"

"Of course." Bai Yi'an picked up the tea and tasted it. "Editor Zhang's tea is good."

"Thanks for the compliment, I don't have anything else to do at my age, so I study this occasionally...... Actually, I only know a little bit about it. ”

Yiyu heard the two of them say this, and also took a sip of the teacup, the tea fragrance is indeed very strong, but because he once drank Grandma's tea, he felt that this tea was still not as good as Grandma's tea.

"What type of books do you write?" Editor Zhang asked.

"It's also like a travelogue.,It's that kind of travel strategy or something."

"Can you tell us what type it is?"

"It's a travel book." Yiyu spoke.

"I think you all know the recent best-selling "Travels of Youth", which is also the book you exhibited, so there will be new demand so soon?" Editor Zhang shook the teapot in front of him.

"yes, because I see the prospect. You see. Bai Yi'an took out the business card from his pocket, "This is what our company's road editor recommended to us." ”

Road Edit...... Road...... Somewhat familiar. Editor Zhang put down the teapot in his hand thoughtfully.

"That's right, it's Chen Zhan's road editor, do you have any impression?" Bai Yi'an then asked.

"Oh!" Editor Zhang patted his thigh, "I remember, "The Travels of Youth" was signed with him. At first, I was puzzled, because the name has the word youth in it, and the age of the editor doesn't look like writing about this kind of theme, but then I thought about it, writers, don't you just write anything? ”

"yes, writers don't divide these things."

"So you see, now I find that writers are so talented." He smiled.

Bai Yi'an echoed and smiled, but he didn't think so in his heart, Editor Lu was clearly not talented, but plagiarized.

"Do you have any specific requirements for art layout?"

"Not really, because we don't know much about these things, so when the time comes, you can see if you can design it for us first, and then we'll make adjustments and changes."

"Okay, remember to bring the manuscript of the book next time, so we can arrange it for you, and it takes a lot of effort to make art typesetting." Editor Zhang saw the empty teacup in front of them, and took the teapot to prepare to add tea.

"No need." Bai Yi'an stopped him, "We still have some things, so let's leave first, thank you for your hospitality." ”

"Okay, go slowly, Xiao Li, send Mr. Bai and Miss Yi."

They came out of the publishing house and walked to the parking lot, and Bai Yi'an suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yiyu asked.

"I think of a way to do it, it's a bit risky, forget it, let's talk about it in the car."

Sitting in the car, the Doraemon pendant in the car was shaking, and Yiyu waited for Bai Yi'an to speak, but Bai Yi'an didn't move for a long time, silent as if he was thinking about something important.

Yiyu waited patiently, afraid to interrupt his train of thought. After waiting for a while, Bai Yi'an finally spoke: "Are you willing to fight?" ”

"Fight?" Yiyu was confused, not knowing what he was asking.

"When the time comes, we will go to the office in Lu Yuan, and I will say it directly, and then force him to tell the truth."

"If he resolutely doesn't say it, and if he persecutes, that's not right, if others know about it, we are coercing others."

"So I said give it a go, and if I'm right, the chances of success are greater. But if we fail, we may not get justice and we may lose our jobs. ”

"What needs to be done?"

Bai Yi'an told her for a long time, and Yiyu was ready to agree, but she still felt that she was inevitably a little impulsive. If you really fail, you won't have this income.

When she signed a contract with this literary department, she also spent a lot of pains and turns, writing, revising, and signing contracts...... I don't know how much effort it took to do this.

If she changes companies, she may have to toss for a while, or perhaps, it will be difficult to succeed at all. So she didn't have the capital to gamble, although she was deeply disgusted by this incident, and she also felt sad that the fruits of her hard work were plagiarized. She didn't dare to be so open-minded about this matter.

There is no job, no remuneration. I'm afraid her life is even worse.

"I'll think about it again and give you an answer another day." Yiyu's thoughts kept struggling in her mind, and she didn't know what to choose.

while urging her to let go of her so-called dignity and bottom line, and keep her only little remuneration; while urging her to fight bravely and fight for her rights.

Bai Yi'an didn't force her, just nodded, he also knew that it would be difficult to do so.

"When did you work at a convenience store?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening." Yi Yu replied to him.

"I'll take you home, it's still a few hours before that time, you go home and rest." He activates the throttle.

"No, no, no." Yiyu waved his hand vigorously.

"What's wrong? It feels like every time I mention sending you home, you're repulsed. ”

"My family...... My house is so broken, the house I rented is so broken, you won't want to go. ”

"It's okay, it's nothing, or if you mind, I'll send you downstairs and won't go to your house."

"You really don't need to, you can send me to the subway entrance. Thank you. ”

"Then I'll send you to the nearest subway entrance to your house, and you can walk back directly, and I can't see where you live." Bai Yi'an is very persistent.

"Well, I'm really bothering you." Yiyu felt that it was no longer good to postpone.

The publishing house was still some distance away from the rental house, and Yiyu stared at the gas gauge on the steering wheel, for fear that it would be reduced a lot.

After driving for nearly an hour, when she arrived at the subway entrance, Bai Yi'an put her down.

"Thanks, bye-bye-" Yiyu beckoned to him.

She hadn't rested for a long time, and on the way back, her legs were like lead, and she wanted to give up because they were heavy step by step.

When you get to the rental house, you have to go through a very narrow alley, which is like a dividing line. Outside the line, there is a glamorous and bustling city. Inside the line, there are dilapidated and simple slums.

Most of the residential buildings here are inhabited by elderly people, and there are very few young people like her. Yiyu sometimes feels very frustrated, perhaps because she is too defeated, so she lives so poor and boring.

She rubbed her sore shoulders, and her eyes were a little dry and she couldn't open them. She collapsed on the stiff bed, not feeling the slightest relief. Later, she still lay down on the sofa, which was softer than the bed.

I don't know when I can send my living expenses for this month. She is so busy these days that she feels that she can't squeeze out the time to go out to the bank to make money after thinking about it for a long time.

Especially now, her savings have never reached five figures, and every time she has worked hard to save three digits, she will be emptied in an instant when she sends it to her aunt. It's like she's never made any money.

She was already frugal enough, but the daily fare was a lot of money, and although she tried to eat the food that needed to be disposed of after the convenience store expired, she still couldn't save much money.

There was no one to share with her, just like the working women who came to the convenience store at that time said, they wanted to skip meals every day and save money like robots.

At a convenience store, even if there are no customers, they are tired, so they have to stand in front of the cash register all the time, pay attention to the movement by the door, and serve customers in a timely manner.

Zhao Ke seems to have been repairing more and more objects recently, and Yiyu was fiddling with electronic products such as mobile phones and computers when he passed.

"Is there so much going on lately?" Yiyu asked.

"You came here because you just did it, and no one knows. Now that I'm doing a good job, some people will recommend it to me, so more and more people have been looking for me recently. ”

"Very good." Yiyu smiled.

The whole world seems to be slowly getting better, as if she is the only one who is stagnant, and even desperately regressing.
