"What's wrong with you?" Yang Cai'e looked suspicious.
"Who asked you to go to a brothel? If you want to go, I won't let you go!!"
Yang Cai'e wondered: "Then what other job can I have?"
Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "Aren't you a fan of Daxia Jin? Do you want to meet him?"
Yang Cai'e was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Cheng and Dong Hua alternately, and asked, "Can I see Da Xia Jin?"
Zhao Cheng did not answer directly, but winked at Dong Hua and said boldly: "Take it away!"
evening.
In the largest room of the bookstore, a lean man was leaning on his desk and writing furiously. At the tables on both sides were two young people who were copying quickly, a middle-aged man was reviewing manuscripts, and a little girl was responsible for serving tea.
water, and occasionally feed them fruits and snacks.
Zhao Cheng and the others had been standing outside the window for a while. Yang Cai'e looked at the lean man and asked in a low voice: "Is he Da Xia Jin?"
Seeing that Yang Cai'e was dubious, Zhao Cheng walked inside: "Go in and have a look."
Following Zhao Cheng and walking behind the lean man, Yang Cai'e stared at the manuscript written by him. The more she read, the more frightened she became. The names of the characters and the plot were clearly from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
"It's really..."
The lean man was disturbed by Yang Cai'e's voice, so he turned around and shouted: "I'm working on a manuscript, don't make any noise!! Where did the little girl come from...ah, boss!"
The lean man stood up immediately.
Zhao Cheng had a kind attitude, patted the lean man's arm, and said with a smile: "Hero, you are busy with your business, I will come over and take a look."
"You're neglecting me!" Jin Daxia cupped his hands, flicked his sleeves, sat down and continued working. His movements were really a bit heroic.
After watching Jin Da Xia, Zhao Cheng took Yang Cai'e to several other rooms. Basically, the configurations were similar. There were writers, proofreaders, transcribers, reviewers, and daily service staff.
Yang Cai'e counted silently on her fingers, so excited that she could hear her own heartbeat.
All I saw tonight were celebrities!
Lao Xu who serialized "The List of Gods"...
Yi Shen from "Xunjing Ji"...
Mr. Pu from "A Chinese Ghost Story"...
And the wine master from "Xiao Zhao Fei Dao"...
Yang Cai'e returned to the courtyard almost fainted. At first, she thought Zhao Cheng only brought her to meet Jin Daxia alone, but she didn't expect to see so many at once!
But the question is... why do these famous people live together?
"How do you feel?" Zhao Cheng took in Yang Cai'e's expression and guessed her mood at this time.
"Why...why do they call you boss?"
This actually surprised Zhao Cheng. Unexpectedly, Yang Cai'e was not shocked and confused, but directly asked the key points.
"Because I am their boss!"
"Everyone of them is so powerful..."
The implication of Yang Cai'e's words is very clear. They are all such powerful people, why should they treat you as their boss?
"Sister, our master is so powerful!" Dong Hua explained: "The stories they wrote were told to them by the master, and even their pen names were given by the master!"
"Ah?!" Yang Cai'e was even more shocked now.
"Sister, don't believe it. Didn't you see everything just now?"
Dong Hua approached Yang Cai'e and said, "Sister likes to read and read serialized novels. Then think about it carefully, have serialized novels and these famous novelists only appeared in the past two or three years?"
Yang Cai'e nodded.
"That's right! Master, this bookstore just opened three years ago!"
Zhao Cheng added, which can be regarded as a reminder: "The bookstore is not open to the public, it is where writers work. In the eyes of readers, famous writers such as Jin Daxia and Mr. Pu are all figures like wandering clouds and wild cranes, but in fact they are all coders of our bookstore.
Farmers. This is their privacy and the bookstore’s business secret.”
"Coder..." Yang Cai'e chewed the word.
Zhao Cheng said: "The job I want to give you is that of a coder."
Yang Cai'e gradually got used to the surprise, her face flushed with excitement, and she asked: "Can I...?"
"Have you seen "Butterfly Lovers"?"
Yang Cai'e nodded: "It's a very poignant story. There are many people who like to read it."
"Cao Bichang, the serial author of "Butterfly Lovers", can no longer write. If you are willing to do this job, you will be Cao Bichang from now on."
“Is this still possible??”
"Except for the people in this courtyard, no one knows who Cao Bichang is or what she looks like. They only know that she wrote a book called "Butterfly Lovers"."
Zhao Cheng said seriously: "I said you are, then you are."
Dong Hua pinched Yang Cai'e hard, signaling her to agree quickly.
Yang Cai'e still had doubts and said: "I have never written like this before, and my literary talent is not as good as..."
Zhao Cheng interrupted her and said, "I'm just going to ask you two questions. Do you want to? Do you dare? You don't have to worry about the rest. I'm here."
"Then after I agree, I can have an office room like them?"
"Of course! The staffing is the same as them, and wages are paid once a month."
"And the wages?"
Dong Hua interjected: "It's quite a lot!"
"I want to!!" Yang Cai'e blurted out: "I...I, I dare too!"
Yang Cai'e was so excited that her ears turned red.
Just kidding, she was just a little confused at first, but not stupid!
Becoming Cao Bichang, you can have your own independent space by writing and make money. This is the best way out right now!
Otherwise... no matter whether he stays with Wang Yufeng, is bought by Xu An, or stays in the Youxiang Mansion, he will only be destined to be a maid and a concubine!
My sheep, Abi, doesn’t want that!
My sister is still young and can’t remember much of what happened at home, but I remember everything!
I am a sister. As long as there is a chance, as long as it is possible, I will definitely seek justice for my family in the future!!!
After becoming a serial writer like Cao Bichang, you can accumulate popularity and influence!!!
After thinking about this, Yang Cai'e made up her mind and her eyes became determined.
"Okay, let's try it first. I'll use Jin Ping Mei... No, a slip of the tongue! Let me tell you the story of the Seven Fairies first."
Zhao Cheng turned around and walked towards the room at the end, saying, "Come here, Mr. Cao."
Dong Hua gently pushed Yang Cai'e and reminded: "Sister, go quickly, I'm calling you!"
"Call me?" Yang Cai'e pointed at her face.
"Your pen name is Cao Bichang, and my master calls you Cao Dada."
"What a strange title!" Yang Cai'e ran towards Zhao Cheng in confusion.
It was pitch dark in the room, and I couldn't see my fingers.
As soon as Yang Cai'e entered the small dark room, she felt her shoulders tighten and she was pushed down on the chair by a pair of hands and sat down.
Then, he noticed that the hands reached to his collar and were unbuttoning his clothes.
Yang Cai'e was shocked: "What are you doing?"
"Relax."
Zhao Cheng's voice came from the darkness: "This is a ritual. When can you relax and listen to the story I tell..."
