But I don't think I've met Teacher Ling before, so why did I recognize her at first sight? This made Xiaoxiao a little confused.
"Hello, are you Mr. Zero, the author of 'Put on Your Daughter's Panties and Become a Magical Girl'?" Xiaoxiao walked over excitedly and said to Ling Ling.
Ling Ling nodded: "Just call me Ling Ling."
Ling Ling looked at Xiao Xiao's reaction. She didn't seem to recognize him. But that was true. He had changed a lot now, even his gender had changed. How could she recognize him? However, judging from her performance, it was unlikely that Xiao Xiao in front of him was a time traveler.
Because if it was the Xiao Xiao from the previous life, she could be recognized just by looking at her writing style and some small habits in the novels. And the Xiao Xiao in front of him, as his editor-in-chief, there is no way she could not be recognized, so the Xiao Xiao in front of him should not be a time traveler.
"Finally I found you. I'm your editor-in-chief, Xiaoxiao. Because I couldn't contact you on my phone, and you didn't respond to my messages via QQ or email, my boss sent me from headquarters to look for you. Fortunately, I found you."
After hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Ling Ling remembered that she lost her original mobile phone after the human trafficking incident. After changing her mobile phone, she forgot to update her information on Wuke. Also, due to her heavy academic workload recently, she hasn't been on QQ much. Her email address is QQ email, so she didn't pay attention to these things either.
To be honest, as soon as she went on QQ, readers in the book club started urging her to update her books and asked for photos of her wearing women's clothes, so she rarely goes on QQ.
"Um... I'm really sorry. I'm in my third year of high school and have been busy with schoolwork lately, so I haven't been paying much attention to QQ and my email. By the way, let's sit down and talk." Ling Ling said as he asked Xiaoxiao to sit down, and then he made Xiaoxiao a cup of hot cocoa from the bar, which is one of Xiaoxiao's favorite drinks.
After Xiaoxiao saw the hot cocoa, she became cheerful. She didn't know why, but even though it was the first time she met Ling Ling, she felt like she had known him for many years. It was really strange.
"By the way! Teacher Ling Ling, have we met before?" Xiaoxiao remembered the call from Ling Ling when she just entered the door, and asked with some confusion.
Ling Ling shook her head: "This is the first time we meet. It's just that I have a friend who looks a bit like you, and her name is also Xiao Xiao, so I subconsciously called her out. I'm really embarrassed."
"Oh~" Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully. After listening to Ling Ling's explanation, she wondered if she had a long-lost sister or something, but soon, she threw these unrealistic ideas out of her mind.
"Excuse me, Mr. Editor, for coming all the way here. Is there something wrong?" Ling Ling asked curiously. After all, it was impossible for an editor to come all the way to find the author for such a small matter, so it must be something big.
Xiaoxiao nodded, and then said, "I am here this time because I have something to discuss with you, which is about the physical publication of your novel."

Chapter 221: The Almighty Witch
"Oh! I see. I was wondering why the editor came all the way to S City to see me~"
After Xiaoxiao's explanation, Ling Ling finally understood what was going on. However, she really didn't expect that her novel could actually be materialized. This was really beyond her expectations.
"However, you also know the contents of the novels I wrote. Is there really no problem with the physical publication of this type of novel?" Ling Ling said after thinking for a while.
After hearing Ling Ling's words, Xiao Xiao waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. The connotation jokes in your novel are nothing. There are many physical books that are better than these. So don't worry about these small details. At most, it's just a few minor modifications."
"Oh~" Ling Ling nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask: "Although the performance of my novel is quite good, there should be many books that perform better than mine, but why... why did they choose my book?"
"I'll tell you the truth. We have recently been planning to move towards physical publication, and the subject matter of your novel is very good and has achieved good results. So after a series of meetings and consultations, your novel will be one of the first physical novels. This is a trade secret. Although it's not a big secret, I still hope you can keep it confidential."
"It's just a little white mouse~ I understand." Ling Ling nodded to show her understanding. After all, she was also a physical person in her previous life, so she still understood this.
Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly: "Teacher Ling Ling's words are still as sharp as ever~"
"You are worthy of being the fifth apostle under my command, the almighty witch. Is your Chaos Code about to become true?" She walked over with an evil and arrogant look on her face, then said while posing in that difficult yet shameless posture.
Just now, she had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Ling Ling and the others with her ears perked up. After learning that the novel written by Ling Ling was about to be published in physical form, she walked over with uncontrollable excitement.
To be honest, she is a loyal fan of Ling Ling's novel. She originally read it with the intention of supporting her employees, but she became so obsessed with it later. Luo Xiaoning said that as long as the physical version of Ling Ling's novel comes out, she will definitely buy six copies.
He and Chu Mengyao each had three sets, one for collection, one for viewing, and one for preaching.
I forgot to mention that Chu Mengyao was also dragged into Ling Ling's novel by Luo Xiaoning. Now every day when she has time, she habitually opens her phone to see if Ling Ling has updated anything. There were several times when she even wanted to call him directly to urge him to submit his manuscript.
"Hey, please don't do such shameful things in front of the guests. Also, the name of my novel is 'Put on your daughter's panties and become a magical girl', not 'Chaos Code'. I would never give a book a title that sounds so second-rate!" Ling Ling said with a little excitement.
As for why she was so excited, it was because Qian Shi had indeed written "Chaos Code" when she was in her middle school years, but now she has long regarded it as a black history and the ID has been permanently sealed by her. Not many people knew that she wrote this kind of novel in her previous life, so as for the content, it is better not to mention it.
Otherwise, how could she match Luo Xiaoning's radio waves.
"This... who is this person?" Xiaoxiao looked at Luo Xiaoning, who had a very middle school-like aura, with surprise, and said to Ling Ling in confusion.
Ling Ling smiled slightly: "Don't pay attention to this idiot, she is the owner of this cafe... Mom, please don't mistake her for an elementary school student or a junior high school student, she is a legal loli."
After hearing Ling Ling's explanation, Xiaoxiao was even more surprised. It turned out that legal loli really did exist.
Just when Luo Xiaoning wanted to say something, a snow-white hand stretched out from behind her and grabbed Luo Xiaoning's collar. The owner of that hand was undoubtedly Chu Mengyao.
"I'm really sorry for interrupting your conversation with this idiot. You guys continue. I'll take her in to talk about life." Chu Mengyao said as she dragged Luo Xiaoning into the room. There was no sound from her anymore.
After this episode, Xiaoxiao took out a thick A4 paper from her bag. It was printed with densely packed words, which made people feel like they had no desire to read on.
"What is this?" Ling Ling asked doubtfully as he looked at the contract in front of him.
"This is your latest contract. Because the physical publication is imminent, the content of the contract has changed and needs to be re-signed." Xiaoxiao explained.
After listening to Xiaoxiao's explanation, Ling Ling picked up the contract and began to read it carefully. With something like a contract, one must always be extremely careful and make sure to read everything on it clearly.
Looking at the contents of the contract, Ling Ling found that the treatment given to her by the other party was quite good. Even from her perspective of her previous life, it was very good.
After a long time, Ling Ling finished reading the contract. After confirming that there were no problems, she signed the contract.
“Thank you very much for your support. As long as there is the latest news, we will contact you via mobile phone, QQ and email. We hope you can pay more attention to these places.
After Ling Ling signed the contract, Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved. Moreover, she could take advantage of this business trip to stroll around S City. You know, the boss gave her three days, and it only took her less than a day to complete the task. Now it's time to go out and have some fun.
"Oh, right!" Xiaoxiao seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said to Ling Ling, "Can I ask you something? Is the author of "My Daily Life with Mommy" the smurf account you created?"
"Eh!? Why do you ask that?"
"Because the contract for that novel used your name and ID card, and the writing style is also very similar, so~" Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course.
After hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Ling Ling finally understood why his underage daughter was able to sign the contract, because it turned out that the contract was signed using her ID card.
"This was really not written by me. It was written by my...sister. But she is not yet an adult, so she used my ID card." Ling Ling explained.
"It's really amazing that a minor can write such a good novel."
"Of course, you know, she's my...sister!"
Ling Ling would accept all the compliments others said about her daughter. If she knew her daughter was still in elementary school, she would probably be even more surprised.
