Since I have two apprentices to take care of the company's affairs, I have a lot of free time.
Lin Yuan thought about it and simply handed the completed "The Mystery of Roger" to Jinmu and asked him to contact the Silver Blue Library.
“You actually wrote a reasoning?”
Jinmu looked at the document of "The Mystery of Roger" sent by Lin Yuan with some surprise.
He remembered that Lin Yuan had previously talked to him about the topic of what subjects were popular in the book market, and inadvertently mentioned the popular topic of mystery.
As a result, Kaneki didn't expect that his boss would actually write a mystery novel.
Just because this subject is popular
Although the reason sounds fine at first glance, Kaneki always feels that something is wrong...
However, when he thought about the fact that Lin Yuan had three aliases and each of them had made outstanding achievements in different fields, he did not even have a moment of doubt in his heart.
"Can I look back?"
As a mystery enthusiast, Kaneki felt that he had a say this time.
"Can."
Lin Yuan spoke.
Jinmu smiled and didn't rush to read. Instead, he called Yang Feng.
"Is this Teacher Chu Kuang's new book?!"
At that time, Yang Feng was working in the company.
After receiving Jin Mu's call, Yang Feng immediately became excited and couldn't help shouting out loud in the office.
"Chu Kuang's new book?"
These four words seemed to have some kind of magical power, instantly making the entire fantasy department of the Silver Blue Library quiet.
Then everyone silently put down what they were doing and looked at Yang Feng.
Ever since the completion of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the fantasy department of Silver Blue Book Library has been privately looking forward to Chu Kuang's new book.
Everyone was discussing with great interest what genre Chu Kuang would write this time.
Guess what
As we all know, Chu Kuang never writes novels of the same type. He is a unique pioneer!
"What type is this time?"
Yang Feng swallowed and asked calmly. This was the issue that concerned everyone in the department.
Having been Chu Kuang's editor for such a long time, the experienced Yang Feng has made sufficient mental preparations.
He would not be surprised no matter what type of book Chu Kuang wrote this time.
"After all, I've been trained for so long."
Yang Feng thought proudly.
Kaneki said in a slightly odd tone, "Mystery novel."
"… "
Yang Feng's smug expression gradually turned into astonishment. He asked as if to confirm, "Reasoning?"
Kaneki answered seriously, "Yes."
Yang Feng's eyes went dark, his mentality collapsed, and his face was a little disappointed as he said: "Reasoning..."
He had made all the mental preparations. It was normal for Chu Kuang to write about any subject matter, but when he learned about the type of the new book, Yang Feng couldn't help but lose his composure.
Not only Yang Feng couldn't help but be stunned, all the editors in the Fantasy Department were stunned.
"reasoning?"
"What kind of book is Chu Kuang's new book?"
"The problem is..."
"Reasoning is not our business!"
"The company has a reasoning department..."
"Chu Kuang's new book has nothing to do with our Fantasy Department?"
“Why did he suddenly want to write mystery?”
"… "
Yes, if "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can barely be considered as fantasy literature, then reasoning really cannot be considered as such.
This is a separate category.
The company has a dedicated mystery fiction department.
So what made Yang Feng depressed at the moment was not Chu Kuang's new mystery book. The genre was not important to Chu Kuang. What was important was...
Chu Kuang’s next book is not considered an achievement in the fantasy department!
"Okay, I'll let someone from the reasoning department contact you." Yang Feng's voice was filled with deep disappointment.
"Well, the novel has been sent first, please pay attention to receive it."
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, the whole department was somewhat silent.
After a while, someone asked, "Do you really want to write a mystery?"
Yang Feng nodded resignedly.
Everyone's mood became a little heavy.
"Chu Kuang abandoned our fantasy department..."
"The problem is that even if he goes to the reasoning department, they may not take him seriously."
“Is reasoning so easy to write?”
"I guessed a lot of topics, but I didn't guess he was going to write a mystery."
"… "
At this time, Lao Xiong also came out with an excited smile on his face: "I seem to hear you talking about Chu Kuang's new book. Is he ready?"
"Yes."
Yang Feng said: "Write a reasoning."
The old bear's smile disappeared instantly: "Reasoning?"
Yang Feng shrugged.
Lao Xiong was stunned for a few seconds, waved his hand and said, "Send me the novel, I'll go to the mystery department."
"OK."
Five minutes later, Old Bear arrived at the reasoning department.
It is not surprising that mystery novels, as a major genre that is as popular as fantasy novels, have their own independent section.
However, the reasoning department of the Silver Blue Library has always been lukewarm.
In terms of performance, it is incomparable to the Fantasy Department. The Fantasy Department is the most profitable department of the Silver Blue Library!
So Lao Xiong used to be quite disdainful of the reasoning department, it was just a small department.
But today, it was this small department that snatched Chu Kuang away.
All right.
It might not be appropriate to say "robbed", after all, this was Chu Kuang's own choice, and they were all from the same company, no matter which department Chu Kuang handed over the interests to, the interests would belong to the Silver Blue Library...
"Brother Bear."
The editor-in-chief of the mystery department is Cao Dezhi. He seemed a little surprised to see Lao Xiong coming to the mystery department: "What brings you here?"
"Chu Kuang's new book is about reasoning."
Lao Xiong curled his lips and said, "According to company rules, your department is responsible for the connection."
"Chu Kuang?"
Cao Dezhi was stunned for a moment.
Chu Kuang is very famous in the Silver and Blue Library, so Cao Dezhi is naturally familiar with him. However, he was not too excited when he heard the news.
Because Chu Kuang is not a writer in the mystery circle at all.
Since Chu Kuang is not a mystery writer, his mystery novels are unlikely to be of high quality.
"Is he just playing around?" Cao Dezhi asked.
"Dezhi, Chu Kuang is the mainstay of our publishing house after all. No matter if he is just playing around or not, don't get in the way of his novel."
This was the reason why Lao Xiong made a special trip. He was worried that Cao Dezhi would neglect Chu Kuang, which would cause disaster to the entire Silver and Blue Library.
"Of course I understand this."
Cao Dezhi chuckled and said, "Brother Xiong, I'm sorry for your loss."
One of the top stars in the fantasy department is writing a mystery. I guess all the editors in the fantasy department are going to shut themselves up.
"Save your head."
Lao Xiong said unhappily: "When Chu Kuang gets tired of reasoning, he will come back. It would be a waste of talent to keep him in your reasoning department."
Cao Dezhi was helpless: "You don't have to disparage our reasoning department like that."
Old Bear sneered, "Isn't that a shame? Among the top five companies in the publishing industry, our Silver Blue Library's reasoning is the worst."
Cao Dezhi smiled bitterly.
What Lao Xiong said was the truth. The ability of the writers in the mystery department of Blue Silver Bookstore is seriously inconsistent with the status of Blue Silver Bookstore. It is about the same level as the mystery departments of some second-rate publishing houses.
It is indeed a waste of talent for Chu Kuang to come here.
Lao Xiong waved his hand and said, "I have sent the book to your email, please remember to check it. I have also sent you a message, please contact Chu Kuang's agent later."
"good."
Cao Dezhi nodded.
After the old bear left, Cao Dezhi sighed.
What should we do with the current situation of the reasoning department? If the performance doesn't improve, the editor-in-chief will probably remove himself and replace him with someone else as chief editor.
I feel a little upset.
Cao Dezhi returned to his office, opened his email, and clicked on the novel titled "The Mystery of Roger".
After all, this is Chu Kuang’s new book.
Although Cao Dezhi did not hold out much hope, but considering Chu Kuang's great reputation in the book world, he believed that even if his reasoning was mediocre, there would be fans who would buy it.
This made Cao Dezhi a little excited about the sales of the novel.
Yes.
With Chu Kuang's current fame, the sales of any novel he writes on any subject will not be particularly bad.
Because his fame has risen.
With such a small expectation.
Cao Dezhi read the novel slowly.
