Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty-Four: Can't Stand High
For a moment, Lu Li was very anxious.
She looked at the tens of thousands of words of follow-up in her manuscript box that had not yet been sent out, and at the moment she felt ashamed, angry, and full of hatred.
Including the slight ambiguity and emotion about the male god in the dream that still remained between the lines, at this moment, under the tremendous pressure, all disappeared.
When others come to ask for money, who still remembers the person they have a crush on?
So what to do now?
This website won’t sue itself, will it?
Lu Li sat there. It was obviously warm in the dormitory, but she only felt that her hands and feet were cold.
…
And that post.
She just took a walk along the source and found that it was being moved everywhere.
Who knows what he knows so clearly? Can he still take photos of his cell phone and computer?
Are they students from the dormitory next door?
Or Ding Wei and the others?
No.
Impossible.
They haven't lived in the dormitory this semester.
Then who is displeased with them? Are they aware of their high income and jealous, so they do this on purpose?
But she has never told anyone about her family.
How do you know this?
…
Chen Siyu has deep merit and fame.
To put it bluntly, there are many people in school who dislike Lu Li.
But we are all high-quality students, and no one will deliberately go online to expose someone else’s background for no reason. This is just to create hatred.
Only Chen Siyu can't wait to fill her up with hatred.
How could you miss such an opportunity?
The anger I had to swallow in order to ensure my own safety in those years is now being vented twice as much.
Those photos were not taken intentionally, but as a little communicator, many selfies or other photos of students appear in the space every day.
If you search carefully, you can always find some things that have slipped through the net and captured some key points.
If we ask Zheng Minghe, Xiao Du and the others for help, won't everything that should be shown be revealed?
After all, Lu Li is not a low-key person.
If computers could be brought to the classroom naturally without looking ostentatious, her new laptop would have been shown off 10,000 times.
Including the constant forwarding of this post, how can a little social master be worthy of the title of little master if he doesn’t post a few [shocked] comments in the student group?
…
Lu Li was filled with fear.
She never thought that such a big website would care so much about an author.
And he also blocked his own backstage, which shows no sense of courage at all.
And so shameless!
Throughout December, I don’t plan to give myself half of the income!
Although the data is collapsed, there is still 5,000 or 6,000, right?
What's more, I still have 80,000 words of manuscripts in my manuscript box that have not been sent out.
Is there no one to crusade against this website?
Isn’t it a malicious act of delaying wages?
…
Yes, her money is many times more than what college students earn today, and the more she earns, the more she spends.
Now I only have two to three thousand yuan left in my body. With this little money, whether I can survive the winter vacation is another matter.
After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Anger and panic overwhelmed her, so much so that she actually went online to confront her editor!
"Who are you to terminate the contract just by saying it is terminated?"
"Isn't what I said the truth?"
"What's more, the income for December has not been settled to me yet. Do you still want to be greedy for this small amount of money? For such a big website, you should have some dignity when doing things."
…
The editor's reply is gentle and gentle:
"On this point, dear, I suggest you take a good look at the contract to see if it states anything about the author's responsibilities."
"If you still don't understand, you are welcome to contact our company's legal department. We will answer your questions online 24 hours a day."
"And to be honest, by not suing you, we have done our best to be kind and kind."
"If there is anything else you can't accept, you are welcome to sue our company at any time. Our legal department is waiting for you."
The editor had never spoken to her in such a sweet tone, but the sweeter the tone, the harsher the content.
It's almost like falling into an abyss.
…
Lu Li hurriedly dug out the thick contract, which was twenty-seven pages long, from her precious folder.
After searching for a long time, I saw this article among a few lines of small characters that made people dizzy:
"If the author arbitrarily discredits the image of the website without communication due to his own reasons, our company has the right..."
Her vision went dark.
…
But Lu Li's nature is not such that she can give up easily.
There is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay!
After all, she was the author of a female channel that topped the charts for several months, so she didn’t believe that there weren’t outside stations with a discerning eye.
At this moment, I did not hesitate to search for information on several website editors I had previously invited to write. After hesitating for a while, I still sent a message to ask:
"If I go to your website, what price can you give me?"
In her original thought, even if she changed sites, she must have been compensated by Dreamweaver Literature Network.
At the same time, I can continue to earn money from this book.
When you are not short of money, work hard to create a good beginning and send it to editors to see which one offers a higher price.
But now...
She was in a panic and couldn't calm down to rewrite the beginning of the new book. She couldn't find any inspiration.
After I posted that article, the whole world seemed to be out of control.
…
At this moment, the computer issued a prompt that someone on her penguin had replied.
"Dear, please ask me here, who are you?"
This disgusting "dear" title!
Lu Li couldn't help but punch the table.
Originally there was no such thing, but since the opening of Chen Siyu's online store, the customer service has been the same, which made the students in the class scream and come and visit in person.
Nowadays, it’s become popular on the Internet, and it’s really disgusting to watch.
What’s even more annoying is that the chat she had with this editor last month is still there.
Previously, the other party offered a price of 60 per thousand words, but she dismissed it. Now when he sent a message again, she asked herself who it was...
It’s only been a month!
What she didn't know was that the other editor sneered and said to the colleague next to her:
"Look, as for the Dream Tears of Butterfly Shang, the last time I sent her a message, she ignored her."
"Now that my website has been exposed, I'm thinking of finding a way out."
“When we use our website, we accept all kinds of cats and dogs.”
They are also a very famous website, okay?
…
Although colleagues in the industry may not like their peers, the essential work of editors is the same.
Authors like Lu Li are usually just fine with their work, and they can only make such big mistakes. Websites should be careful even if they accept them, so as not to be stabbed in the back again.
After all, their welfare is not as good as that of Dreamweaver Literature Network. Now the other party's traffic is even getting higher and higher. If the author switches over and his income drops, he will be blamed for the shady plot...
Wait a minute!
The editor's eyes lit up and he hurried to the editor-in-chief's office.
…
And after Lu Li swallowed her anger and sent out her pen name, it took a long time before the other party's reply came.
"Ah, it turns out it's you. I'm really sorry. The workload was too heavy and I forgot a little bit."
"We sincerely welcome you to join us. Would you mind changing your pen name?"
You're a bastard who doesn't make money.
Lu Li's books can sell well on the Dreamweaver Literature Network, so they will definitely do the same here.
However, now that the hatred level of her pen name has been reached, she no longer cares about the old readers who may still stay, so she can only find another way and put on her vest again.
Lu Li's face turned red and white.
"Actually, it's not necessary. Many readers have said that no matter what happens, they will follow me wherever I go, and maybe I can even bring a wave of readers with me."
…
She also has her own plans.
If there is no such advantage, she can sign an ordinary sharing contract on the new website. She has inquired about it, and it will be a 50-50 split, and the bonuses and benefits will not be that much.
In this case, wouldn't it mean that I have to start from scratch again, and my results may not be as good as before?
The editor sneered on the other end.
——What good things are you thinking about?
Can what readers say be taken seriously?
Even if you can take it seriously, you have to see if the author deserves to be taken seriously.
This is the same as being a fan of a celebrity.
Celebrities can do whatever they say is right, but if they make an unforgivable political mistake, even gods can't save them.
If you keep dreaming here, will any readers follow you?
Which reader is willing to devote love to an author who deceives himself and creates a false persona?
…
But she was too lazy to say so much. Anyway, she was a potential author now.
What the future holds remains to be seen.
This author is good at writing books, but really not good at dealing with people.
Internet literature has been developing for several years, but this is the first time she has seen such an extraordinary thing done just because of data collapse.
She replied politely:
"I don't recommend it, otherwise if other readers come to write negative reviews, it will be difficult for us to help you control the reviews."
Lu Li bit her lower lip and asked unwillingly:
"Then if it's a split buyout, what price will you offer?"
After thinking for a while, he added: "My monthly income here is about 30,000 yuan."
But I don’t see you cherishing 30,000 yuan.
After a while, someone on the other side of the screen replied:
"Dear, do you think the price of thirty-five thousand words here is suitable?"
…
Thousand Words 35.
Lu Li almost fainted in an instant.
——According to my income from Dream Weaver Literature, my real royalties can be considered as 100 per thousand words.
Even if the data collapses, we can barely get to 50.
If you pay 35 yuan for a thousand words here, are you sending a beggar?
But among the editors she had sent messages to, only this one had replied to her. She swallowed her anger and repeated it:
"The lowest I can say here is a hundred words per thousand words."
After all, novels continue to generate income. If the performance does not collapse, this data will continue to rise.
A line of words quickly appeared on the other end:
"Then I'm sorry to kiss you, otherwise you can think about it again."
…
consider?
The result of bargaining is to let yourself think about it? This is obviously not a sincere cooperation.
Lu Li smashed the mouse off the table.
Is this the case of a tiger being bullied by a dog?
Nowadays, a website with poor welfare policies dares to look down on itself like this.
She was furious and refused to reply at this moment. She just waited patiently for the call from other editors.
At the same time, I continued to search the website to see if there were any other websites with guarantees and potential.
Hard work paid off, and after a night of struggle, she finally found another family.
The price given by the website is forty per thousand words. Although I am still not satisfied with it, this is the peak price I can get after contacting several websites.
Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief.
——This is the place.
I am still a newcomer, and the traffic of these websites is not as good as that of the previous Dream Weaver Literature Network. I first use buyouts to quickly earn a wave of money and gain fame, and then take the profit-sharing route.
This is the safest way.
When buying out, in order to protect its own interests, the website will not just watch its vest being ripped off.
——From this point of view, she still has some self-awareness and brains.
…
Lu Li had a perfect idea.
When the performance of their novels improves, they will naturally find ways to improve their salary and retain their own.
However, just in case, I was smart this time and did not reject other offers first. Instead, I waited until the contract was sent to the mailbox and checked it carefully.
However, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became.
"What does it mean?"
She typed the content for the editor to see.
"The author must ensure that he updates at least 10,000 words per day. If he fails to complete the task, the payment of the manuscript fee will be postponed for one month..."
Can the manuscript fee be deferred for one month before settlement?
This nightmare-like history reminded her of her dark experience of being deceived when she submitted articles to magazines.
After she became complacent, she rarely recalled the past because it was a dark history in which she had no experience and suffered losses.
But now, the new contract has made me think about it again.
…
And this sentence:
"During the contract period, the ownership rights of any written works under the author's and the author's name will permanently belong to the website..."
Is this also a contract for the author?
Lu Li was furious.
However, a website that can offer her such a price at this time without changing the vest is not a regular website in itself.
When the other party saw her discovery, he didn't feel panic at all. Instead, he said calmly:
"It's okay. Once the contract is signed, when it's actually written, if you ask for leave in an emergency, we won't say anything..."
"As for this ownership, if you want to write a thesis, we will not go to any ownership lawsuit specifically for your paper..."
The words are quite beautiful.
But Lu Li has suffered losses several times now, and she clearly heard the implication.
I won’t say anything, but the royalties should be delayed.
If the paper is worthless, it won't lead to a lawsuit, but if you write something else...
…
The more the other party downplayed, the more wary Lu Li became.
She gritted her teeth and looked at the editors of those websites in the chat history. At this moment, she secretly made up her mind to give up the buyout, stop thinking about anything, and directly sign an exclusive contract to increase her reputation.
Instead, I tried to calm down and think about it again, which website to go to and just write down the share.
One day, I will become a master of the Internet and make Dreamweaver Literature Network pay the price!
Today you are ignoring me, but tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to reach high!

The following is the free word count.
I was asked for my address and phone number when giving gifts before. If I didn't receive them, there was no need to check the courier. Flowers don't last that long.
Send me a private message and I will send you another one that will last longer (some things take time to make freshly, and I am still in the queue, so the delivery may be slower).
If you asked me for your address and didn't receive a gift, please click here again.
The shipment will be a few days late, because the specialties I brought were sent back by mail, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to bring them back, there were too many.
It's really a huge investment.
If someone actually gave me an address and I still haven’t received it half a month later, it’s possible that there are too many addresses and I can’t remember them clearly...
Poke me again.
Forgive me, I have sent dozens of copies, and the gifts are random, and the orders are all random by express delivery. I can’t find out even if I want to check.
The top ten fans on Qidian.com and the top three fans on other genuine platforms can all send me their addresses through private messages in the group.
