In order to express his gratitude, Ponytail insisted on inviting Lin Zhihui to dinner, but Lin Zhihui couldn't refuse, so he had to follow her to the dining area on the top floor of the supermarket.

"When I work overtime, I often come here to eat, and it tastes very good. The two chose a position by the window, pulled out a chair with a ponytail, and said to Lin Zhihui.

Ponytail is obviously a regular here, and without the need for a waiter, he walks to the corner buffet area and brings two glasses of water and a few complimentary side dishes on a tray.

The menu is a piece of paper pressed under the table, Lin Zhihui took the water cup, looked down seriously, as a 10,000-year-old single dog and dead house, he basically has no experience with soft girls alone, and he doesn't know what to say to liven up the atmosphere.

Ordering a good meal under the recommendation of the ponytail, watching her talk to the waiter, Lin Zhihui breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, just thinking about it after a while.

"If I didn't have you today, I'd be miserable. Ponytail looked at Lin Zhihui and said solemnly: "Thank you for speaking out." ”

Lin Zhihui waved his hand, signaling that she didn't have to be polite, his help was not a hero to save the beauty, but he couldn't see that a good person would not end well.

"It was really dangerous just now, if you hadn't seen through their conspiracy and acted in time, I guess I would have been arrested as a thief. The ponytail recalled the previous picture, his face couldn't help but turn slightly pale, and he still had palpitations.

Lin Zhihui took advantage of his quick hand to put the mobile phone in the ponytail bag back into the flat-headed man's bag, and in order to ensure that the stolen goods were captured, he collected several wallets and mobile phones from the onlookers, and quietly stuffed them into the paper bag in the hands of the middle-aged woman.

However, he didn't explain the ponytail like this, but only said that when he saw that the middle-aged woman wanted to frame the blame, he knew that the ponytail was innocent.

"Speaking of which, that person's movements are so big that most people will pay attention to them, but you don't notice them at all. Of course, Lin Zhihui couldn't say that he was from the beginning to the end, so he had to change the topic.

"I was so nervous that I didn't notice anything else. Ponytail touched the broken hair next to his ear, and smiled a little shyly: "And it may be that I am too tired to work overtime to read the manuscript, and I am already a little mentally weak." ”

"Then it's no wonder. Lin Zhihui nodded, and said with a little curiosity: "But you said to read the manuscript? Are you an editor?"

Ponytail didn't deny it, and nodded with both hands on the cup.

"Editing is a good career. Lin Zhihui said with a smile: "The daily task is to read the manuscript, leisurely, how happy." ”

"How can it be laid-back. Ponytail widened his eyes and said with a bitter expression: "How many books do you have to review every day, but there are tasks, and if you can't reach the specified amount of contract every month, you will have to deduct bonuses, and there will be no overtime pay for overtime." ”

Lin Zhihui blinked, the amount of the contract? Could it be that the ponytail is the editor of the website? But after all, this is people's privacy, and he is naturally not good at asking at will.

"But it's not hard, it's the same for everyone. The ponytail showed a bored look, and his fingers unconsciously circled the rim of the cup: "The most depressing thing is that you obviously see a good book and want to recommend it, but you can't get the approval from above." ”

"No matter how good it is, if the leader is not satisfied, it is better to let it go first. Lin Zhihui looked at the ponytail that suddenly fell down, and he didn't know how to answer, after all, the two met in Pingshui, and after eating this meal, they went their separate ways, which can basically be regarded as old and dead, and he has no right to dictate other people's work.

"I understand the reasoning. The ponytail's ruddy lips pursed slightly, and he said with some annoyance: "But that book is really well written, and now it is also very popular, and all the values meet the conditions for signing the contract, just because the editor-in-chief is not optimistic, he will abandon it, and it is not too unfair to writers who write seriously." ”

Lin Zhihui shrugged, this situation is common in the online literature circle, how many writers don't understand anything, only with the enthusiasm of a codeword, hard work to write tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of words, due to various reasons such as not conforming to the trend or not being favored by the editor, in the end they can't sign the contract, wasting a lot of energy and time in vain. Therefore, many mature writers and gods will seek the opinions of editors before opening a new book, so as not to be busy.

With his understanding of online articles, those who can generally be the editor-in-chief are experienced, and the chance of seeing them is very small, if he thinks it is worthless, it can basically be regarded as the conclusion of this book, and the persistence of the ponytail is actually meaningless, it is better to persuade that guy to give up as soon as possible and start anew, which is serious.

Of course, Lin Zhihui doesn't know each other anymore, and he won't say it in front of his ponytail, and he just said about her complaints: "Maybe it's because the content of the book is too niche and doesn't conform to the mainstream aesthetics, no matter what, since your top boss has already spoken, it's better not to do it." ”

"Alas. Ponytail also sighed, poked the side dish in front of him with chopsticks, and said without any spirit: "I'm just unhappy for the author, the book is obviously well written, and several chapters are updated every day, if you can sign a contract, you will definitely have a good result, people write so hard, and they believe in our website so much, it is really unreasonable to give up so hastily." ”

"There are so many websites now, he can't wait for the notice of signing a contract here, so he will naturally change places, and if he really writes well, he will definitely have a bright future. Lin Zhihui said that he thought of himself, and there was no hope of signing a contract, not that there were still a lot of people rewarding, and there were gods who did not chase after him for a day, and now his reward reviews and other values have been on the list of Chuangdian websites, and they are still attracting much attention, and there is nothing wrong with it, looking at the ponytail or sullen, Lin Zhihui then explained: "You are an editor, you have to pay attention to adjusting your state, don't be affected by these little things in the work relationship, offending the leader will outweigh the loss." ”

"Well, you have a point. Ponytail nodded, cheering up: "Actually, it's not that I don't understand, but I can't figure it out for a while." But you're right, there are so many good books now, there's really no need to hang yourself on a tree, and it's not cost-effective to offend the boss for this. Saying that, she straightened her chest and took a deep breath, and looked at Lin Zhihui with a smile: "I feel much more comfortable when I say it all, thank you for being willing to listen to me nag about these boring things." ”

"Why, listening to beautiful women is a pleasure. Lin Zhihui joked: "It won't be annoying to listen to it for a long time." ”

At this time, the set meal ordered by the two was also delivered, the ponytail picked up the chopsticks, and ate it not so ladylikely, Lin Zhihui had already had an empty stomach, picked up a chopstick beef and sent it to his mouth, and asked casually: "By the way, after talking for a long time, what is the name of that book?"

"The Divine Emperor rises. "Ponytail grabbed a piece of chicken wings and said simply.

Lin Zhihui's raised chopsticks stopped in mid-air.
