In the office area of the fifth editorial team, Hairtail handles various tasks with a calm expression. From time to time, he replies to private messages from his authors. After replying, he continues to review the new book submissions in his mailbox, and takes the time to return a sentence or two to the editor next to him.
The problem.
She is skilled in her business and her work efficiency is acceptable, but her expression is a bit too dull. She looks like she has given up hope in the world and no longer cares about food and vegetables...
It turns out she was not like this.
She has only become like this in the past month and a half.
As for the reason?
Not to mention a few editors in the same group, most of the editors in the entire editorial department knew it clearly.
It is said that her popular, popular and platinum master, Xianyu An Laosun, is likely to stop writing new books in the future because the company's revenue exceeded 100 million last month.
Colleagues who are more familiar with the inside story also know that Haiyu sent a private message to Xianyu Sun, and it has been more than half a month since he received a reply.
For more than half a month, Hairtail sent one or two private messages to Xianyu Sun, every now and then, but he didn't even receive a single reply.
Question: Is this normal?
Under normal circumstances, which author would dare to ignore his own private message from his editor?
Even a platinum master, even the top platinum master, such as the Third Young Master, would not be able to ignore the private messages of his editor, right?
yes!
The editor's salary and net worth may be far behind those of those platinum greats, but the editor often controls the placement of recommendations for the works of those greats!
This is related to the future of each author's work.
With such power in hand, even if you are a platinum master, even if you don't support your editor, you will never ignore the private message of your editor.
Unless...the author wants to stop writing or wants to change jobs.
Other than that, it may be explained by serious illness or disconnection from the Internet.
Xianyu, has my grandson been seriously ill or disconnected from the Internet recently?
This possibility is too small, no one has heard any rumors, and combined with the recent rumors on the author forum, everyone in the Qidian editorial department is more inclined to say that Xianyu An Laosun is going to close the book and stop writing.
They all understand this.
With such a rich net worth, it is normal to close the book.
Everyone in the editorial department has different ideas about this.
Some people feel pity because they are editors who like to read Xianyu Anlao Sun's works; some people secretly rejoice because they are gloating about others' misfortune; others are more indifferent and have no feeling in their hearts, because they are too nervous or have no ambition...
…
As for hairtail?
She was very lost, almost feeling lovelorn, or even divorced. Xianyu An Lao Sun was her most popular figure, an oiran-level master.
Her performance in the past two years has been very good, mainly due to the fact that she has such a capable platinum master. She knows very well that if Xianyu An Laosun really puts the pen to paper, her performance will soon recover.
The previous state was unremarkable.
There is no need to expect a promotion or salary increase.
Even when I talk to other colleagues, I feel less confident.
And all the current signs indicate that Xianyu An Lao Sun seems to be really going to put pen to paper.
Colleagues only knew that she sent him private messages and he didn't reply. In fact, she had called him several times, and his assistant always answered the phone. And his assistant always said that he was busy and if he had anything to do with her,
Just say it and she will convey it.
The results of it?
She didn't know whether the assistant had conveyed it to her. Anyway, she had never received a reply from him, nor had he even called her back.
If this is a love affair, then it's obvious that he doesn't love her anymore.
A burst of footsteps came closer and closer, and they stopped next to Hairtail's desk. Hairtail took a casual glance and saw a round-faced young man. The hairy mole on the left cheek made her feel disgusted every time she saw it.
.
She knew that this guy was the editor of the review team. Although he was ugly, he still felt good about himself. Not long after he joined the job, he frequently harassed her and even said he liked her.
Hairtail was very disgusted with this.
There is a humiliating and humiliating feeling - even you, who is so ugly, have the confidence to pursue me? Am I only worthy of a man like you?
"Hi! Uchiha Hairtail, I have great news for you. If you agree to treat me to lunch, I'll tell you now. How about it? It's a deal?"
The round-faced young man talked to her with a smile.
Great news?
Have you finally decided not to chase me?
These two thoughts flashed through Hairtail's mind, without even raising his eyelids, he said casually: "The transaction failed, you can go back and forth wherever you want!"
The tone is quite bland.
She didn't want to give him a chance, she didn't want to give him any room for fantasy. She wanted him to be sensible.
However, the round-faced young man didn't seem to understand what she meant. He still had a smile on his face, put an arm on the partition of her desk, and raised his eyebrows confidently, "Don't be so anxious! It's about salty
News from Yuanlaosun! Are you sure the transaction really wants to fail? Huh?"
Salted fish, my grandson?
As soon as the name hit his ears, Hairtail frowned, and the work on his hands stopped for an instant, and he finally raised his eyes to look at the round-faced young man.
Another editor next to him also looked over curiously and said in surprise: "Hey! Is it true or false? What's the news? Tell me!"
The round-faced young man looked a little proud, but he shook his head, looked at the hairtail with a smile, and said: "The transaction is successful? If it is successful, I will tell you!"
Hairtail frowned and looked at him, a little hesitant and suspicious, wondering if this was a trick deliberately set by this guy, who just wanted to eat with her.
"Are you sure this is great news?"
"Absolutely, definitely!" The round-faced young man looked confident and confident.
The editor next to me repeatedly encouraged Hairtail to agree.
The hairtail hesitated for another two seconds, looked at the hairy mole on the round-faced young man's face with a troubled expression, suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then tell me quickly!"
"yeah!"
The round-faced young man clenched his fist with his right hand and made a celebratory gesture, and then finally said the great news he had brought, "Xianyu, my old man, Sun, just uploaded a new book. Really, you know, I am responsible for the review of new books.
, I just passed the review for him, but you shouldn’t be able to search for his new book yet. You can only see his new book by clicking on his pen name. I..."
The round-faced young man was still chattering about the introduction. The stunned hairtail quickly lowered his head to search for Sun Quan's pen name, and then decisively clicked on his pen name.
In the author space of his pen name, she saw that he had a newly released book under his pen name - "The Last Wish of the Dead"...
At that moment, her expression was extremely complicated.
She felt that she should cry with joy, but looking at such an unconventional title, she was worried that the book would not be popular.
This title doesn't look like the title of an online book. It's too unconventional.
"Hey, how's it going? Did you find it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Hairtail, let me tell you, there is absolutely no way I would lie to you on this kind of thing..."
The round-faced young man was still asking for credit.
Hairtail turned a deaf ear and suddenly sighed, with a relaxed smile finally appearing on her face because she suddenly figured it out.
It is better to publish a new book than to close it.
Besides, although this title is a bit out of the mainstream, after all, this is a new book by Xianyu Anlaosun. Even with his pen name, there are bound to be readers who want to read it.
So the popularity of this book is almost the same no matter how bad it is.
Moreover, if the quality of this book is online, there is a possibility that it will become popular. The titles of the new books by the great masters can be more arbitrary.
"Okay, thank you for telling me the news. Let's have lunch together at the restaurant! My treat!"
Feeling relaxed and happy, the happy hairtail raised his head and gave the round-faced young man a smile and a promise.
The round-faced young man was surprised and delighted, "Dinner, restaurant? Our company's restaurant? How about we go out to eat? How about I treat you? I treat you to a big dinner!"
Hairtail shook his head and declined: "No, I've agreed to do it, how can I make you spend money? Okay, I've decided happily. You go back to work! The boss will scold you if he sees it."
The round-faced young man: “…”
…
at the same time.
On a cargo ship sailing smoothly on the sea, Zhang Shun, a sailor, was sitting at the door of the cockpit, leaning against the door frame, looking at the endless sea breeze and scrolling through his mobile phone boredly.
, and yawned boredly.
A few years ago, because he heard from his uncle that being a sailor was a high-paying job and that his work was relatively leisurely, he was young and ignorant, so he followed his uncle to this freighter and became a new sailor.
Before coming, he deliberately reviewed the classic "Sailor" and learned to sing: "While half asleep and half awake, I seemed to hear the sailor saying: Hey, what's the pain? Wipe away your tears, don't be afraid,
At least we still have dreams..."
He thought that by becoming a sailor, he would slowly become a real man.
But when he actually got on the freighter, he slowly realized that a real man is very lonely. After the freighter sailed into the sea, he soon lost sight of the coastline. Looking around, he saw nothing but sea water.
And such a boring life often lasts for more than half a month before the freighter docks.
There are no young and beautiful girls on the freighter, and even the aunt who cooks is over fifty.
What a sad day!
In these sad days, he learned to read novels on his mobile phone.
He just finished reading the book "The Sword of Gods Killing in the Clouds" a few days ago and has been waiting for the author of this book to publish a new book.
Can……
What did he expect?
In the past few days, people in the book review section have said that this author has made a fortune and will not write any more new books?
Reading a novel, you can encounter such a fucking thing, he is also drunk.
Why don't the authors that other people follow get rich? The author that I follow is so perverted, with a monthly income of over 100 million? Are you sure you are talking about RMB?
He was unwilling to give in, especially when he didn't like the other books he had looked for in the past few days. He couldn't help but browse the page of "The Sword of the Gods in the Clouds" again. Just like this time, he couldn't help it.
He clicked on the pen name of Xianyu An Lao Sun. The next second, his eyes lit up, and his upper body, which had been leaning crookedly on the door frame, suddenly sat upright.
""The Last Wish of the Dead"? Damn! Finally a new book?"
