016. One step away
"What is this?" Gu Yuanzhen snatched the manuscript paper in Qin Yunchu's hand.
He Shiying's head also went up, and the two of them took the manuscript paper to read together.
After looking at it for a while, both of their hands trembled.
"Judging from what I just read, this is a rejection letter from "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword"." Qin Yunchu said, "I don't need to look at the back to know that it must be the manuscript of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword". ”
Although Gu Yuanzhen was very unwilling, she did say it well.
After turning the page, attached to the yellowed manuscript paper at the back was written in a few large characters in a black water-based pen:
"Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword"
Ancient cage
He Shiying picked up a piece of paper attached to the back and made a new discovery:
"Look at you! Look at this! ”
On the manuscript paper in her hand, a passage was written:
"Jianghai Publishing House, hello!
"I'm a writer of martial arts novels, and Gu Cage is my pen name.
"At present, this manuscript is only a quarter of the overall content, and I am not very good at writing with pen and paper, at most I can only write so much, my hands are too tired.
"I have heard the name of your society for a long time, and I hope that after reading this manuscript, you can advance the royalties in advance, or you can pay a sum of more than 5,000 yuan in the name of a deposit.
"10,000 is better if you can.
"I'm in dire need of money right now, and I'd appreciate it if I could make it easier."
Below the whole paragraph, the word "ancient cage" is written, as well as personal contact address and contact information.
"What kind of publishing house is Jianghai Publishing House? Why haven't I heard of it? Gu Yuanzhen looked up and asked.
He Shiying said: "This publishing house is quite famous, right? It used to be a leader in the industry, but then it slowly declined, and now only some reference books, teaching aids and the like are published. ”
Gu Yuanzhen glanced at this passage again, and suddenly laughed with a "poof".
"You see, he spoke in such a tone, as if Jianghai Publishing House must have come up with his book, and he even thought about paying the deposit in advance, which is crazy."
Qin Yunchu pulled his sideburns: "Judging from the later explosion of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", he does have the qualifications to be crazy. ”
"However, he was rejected." Gu Yuanzhen couldn't help laughing, "If you want to say this, it will definitely be on the hot search, 'Ancient cage black history, confident submission but rejection, and ruthless criticism', hahaha......"
He Shiying glared at him and said, "Whose black history is not known yet!" Isn't it that the publishing house has no eyes? ”
"Indeed." Qin Yunchu took the manuscript and said, "Later, I changed publishers, and this book exploded directly, and it also set off a ten-year martial arts boom. ”
Gu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, and then sighed heavily.
Although he is unwilling to face it, he has found crucial evidence, and no matter how he escapes, he can't escape it.
"That's ...... Real hammer, right? ”
The crowd stood still for a moment.
Not far away, Xiao Yingying, who was quietly reading the picture book, suddenly closed the number, picked up the book, stepped on the wooden floor with her little feet, and ran to the bookcase.
She stood on tiptoe and put the picture book back in its place, and then, taking out a new picture book, holding it in her arms, and running back to the place where she was lying on her stomach, like a lamb on the prairie, nesting back into the warm grass nest, and sighed with satisfaction.
Liu Ruyan turned around and hugged Xiao Yingying and said, "Don't read all the time, hurt your eyes, go out to bask in the sun more." ”
After sending Xiao Yingying out, Liu Ruyan came back and brought the door.
She was also very curious about Chen Ya's true identity.
When this manuscript was exposed, it was basically equivalent to that Chen Ya was an ancient cage.
Qin Yunchu, He Shiying and the others looked at each other.
"No, no, it doesn't make sense." Gu Yuanzhen said in a firm tone, "This is not a real hammer. ”
He Shiying looked at him in surprise: "This is not a real hammer?" ”
"Isn't the one who took out the manuscript before also suspected of being ghostwritten?" Gu Yuanzhen said, "Manuscripts can't say anything, because they can be forged. It must be admitted by the relevant people themselves before it can be considered a complete hammer. ”
There is also a reason why he cannot accept it.
After all, it is said that a 13-year-old child wrote "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", and no one can accept it.
The most important thing is that he has not only written "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword"!
If Gu Cage is really Chen Ya, it means that he wrote "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Peerless Double Pride", "Martial Arts History", "The Legend of the Banner Heroes" and "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" at the age of 13.
At the age of 14, he wrote "Happy Hero", "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword", "Tianya, Bright Moon, Knife", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Xiao Shiyi Lang".
At the age of 15, he wrote "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Big Man", "White Jade Tiger", "Seven Weapons" and "The Prodigal Son of the Border City".
At the age of 16, he wrote "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountain", "Four Famous Catches", "Xun Qin Ji" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!
Not to mention a teenager, even if you are an adult, you can be called a living fairy if you can have such a high yield!
Qin Yunchu said: "I have someone I know in the publishing industry, I ask her, maybe I can find some clues. ”
Gu Yuanzhen asked, "Who?" ”
"Xiao Qing." Qin Yunchu said.
"Xiao Qing?!" He Shiying suddenly shouted loudly, "Do you still know Xiao Qing?" ”
"Hmm."
There's a reason she's so excited.
Xiao Qing, a well-known "beautiful girl writer" in China, is best at writing romance novels and can be called a "romance girl".
Many of her novels have been remade into movies and TV series, and she is a well-known writer among the Chinese people.
Of course, it was said that it was a "beautiful girl writer", and that was ten years ago.
Now, this "beautiful girl" is 35 years old and can be regarded as a "beautiful young woman".
She is also currently living in Jiangcheng, living a chic life without worrying about food and clothing, and rarely writes books anymore.
Qin Yunchu dialed the phone and said with some apprehension: "Hey? ”
"Hey Yunchu, how can you have the strength to call me?"
"Sister Xiao, I'm sorry to disturb you," Qin Yunchu said politely, "I have a question for you." ”
"Ask, you are the one I brought to play, let's not be so polite."
Qin Yunchu relaxed a little and said, "Do you know the Ancient Words Publishing House? ”
"You know, many of my books are published by the Ancient Words Publishing House."
Qin Yunchu was overjoyed and said, "Then do you know, Xi Wendian? ”
The voice from over there came: "Hey, Lao Xi, he was my editor back then, and now I heard that he is the editor-in-chief." As soon as you say I'm thinking of him, it's time to call and ask what's going on. ”
Qin Yunchu's small fists clenched even tighter, and said, "Then do you know, the ancient cage?" ”
The voice paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I've met him once." Back then, he and I were both writers in charge of Xi Wendian. ”
Qin Yunchu looked at He Shiying and Gu Yuanzhen excitedly.
They held their breath silent, but their hands waved wildly in the air.
To find out the true face of the ancient cage, it is only one step away!
Qin Yunchu asked, "Then, that, Gu Cage him, is he very young?" ”
Xiao Qing's voice suddenly calmed down: "What are you asking him for?" ”
Qin Yunchu whispered: "I just found the manuscript of the ancient cage, and I suspect that one of my current employees is the ancient cage himself......"
Xiao Qing immediately said, "Where are you?" ”
"...... in Jiangcheng"
"I know you're in Jiangcheng, where are you in Jiangcheng?"
"At a friend's house, ...... on Nanwangqiao East Road"
"Coincidentally, I'm also in Nanwangqiao," Xiao Qing said, "You send me a location, and I'll come to you." ”
