Chapter 441: Impostor
Su Wen read the letter of introduction first, and after confirming that it was true, she immediately beckoned Zhou Yan to sit down, and asked her to pour Zhou Yan a cup of flower tea in front of her.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long."
Su Wen's attitude is down-to-earth and generous, and she advances and retreats in a measured manner. After learning Zhou Yan's identity, he was enthusiastic, but he didn't flatter at all. This made Zhou Yan have a better impression of her.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Su Wenyou called Su Xiu and Su Qing over to introduce each other, and then sat down separately and began to discuss.
"What do you mean by talking about a lot of manuscript fees?" Su Wen had a stomach full of questions just now.
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows, "We replied to you about a month ago, and at the same time informed you of our decision to publish your submission." You wrote back to us, and although you agreed to the initial intention, you were unable to sign the contract because of the issue of manuscript fees. But our 10,000 copies of the book have already been printed, and we can't delay it, so I came here in person. ”
"The Scumbag Handbook" is the last hope of the publishing house, and she immediately arranged for publication after seeing it. I sent the registered mail on the same day, and I thought it would go smoothly, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long in the signing process.
Before she came, she thought that the author was too greedy, but now it seems that it should not be.
The more Su Wen listened, the more serious her expression became.
"You said that you sent me a registered mail back immediately after receiving the submission, and I also wrote back to you? Or the lion opened his mouth? She asked again.
Zhou Yan nodded.
Su Wen exhaled slowly, and her petal-like delicate lips slowly evoked a sneer.
It's a lot of fun!
Fortunately, the manuscript fee was not negotiated, otherwise it would have been impersonated by "someone".
And when she didn't know it, she couldn't receive a reply, and she would only think that the submission was unqualified. Maybe you will find out later, but when it is too late, the word Su Wen will only become a pen name for "someone".
If the book sells well and becomes a best-selling author, and her real name is Su Wen, it will become a coincidental joke when people who know it.
For example, there is no life of a best-selling author, but there is an irony such as imagining the name of the writer.
Su Wen sorted things out in her heart, and it was difficult not to sneer. Whoever does this kind of thing can think of it with his knees. No wonder at the entrance of the commissary just now, Sun Yunyun would look at herself with that kind of eyes.
Her intuition was really right, Sun Yunyun's big move was ruthless enough.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Yan had already realized that something was wrong. She has opened a publishing house for so many years, and things like cheating and plagiarism are not uncommon. Almost immediately, I guessed what the problem was.
Sure enough, Su Wen's words confirmed her guess.
"I haven't heard back from you once since I submitted my article. Your reply must have been taken and impersonated in my name. Su Wen didn't talk nonsense, asked Zhou Yan to settle down for a while, and went back to the room to take the manuscript at that time to confirm her identity.
When writing a manuscript, it is impossible to do it all at once. There is no computer that can delete and modify at any time, so there are a lot of modifications and scribbles on the original manuscript, some are corrected typos, some are written settings, some words have some experience and point-to-point complaints.
The words are also more spicy and ingenious. So when Su Wen finished writing, it took several days to re-copy, and her writing hands were sore, if she wasn't short of money, and she was afraid that Su Xiu would be deceived by He Changming, she wouldn't have been able to work overtime to write the manuscript!
