When Yu Yao came in, he saw Chu Li alone in the living room. Her computer was placed on the sofa, and there were half-typed manuscripts on it... A thick stack of handwritten manuscripts was scattered beside the computer. Yu Yao pointed to the manuscripts and asked :"what is this?"
"Ms. Hiukawa's true debut novel." Holding a glass of milk and a sandwich, Chuli opened the door of Hiukawa's room with his arm, and after sending breakfast in, he turned around and walked out. He was curiously picking up a piece of paper to read Yu Yao said, "Do you know why Mr. Zhou Chuan swore not to write romance, because this book is romance; do you know why Mr. Zhou Chuan is the male lead of this book is white, because the male lead of this book is black …”
Yu Yao put down the manuscript paper with a look of surprise.
"It's like being thrown off by a girl with long curly hair when you fell in love for the first time. From then on, all lovers have short hair..." Chu Li sat down beside Yao, patted his chest, "The pain hidden in my heart that I don't want to admit."
As soon as I finished speaking, I found that the heroine of this book really has long curly hair.
Chu Li frowned and touched his short hair.
Yu Yao paused, as if he didn't care about her small movements: "...is this bookmarked?"
Chu Li: "Not yet, the manuscript needs to be revised, after all, there are gaps... I'll do everything I can to input it into the computer for him."
Yu Yao: "Did you know that the discussion on the topic of Zhou Chuan on the Internet has reached an unprecedented height—everyone—attention, everyone is discussing the debut novel by Zhou Chuan mentioned by Mr. Zhou Guxuan..."
Chu Li's eyelids trembled: "I just checked the Internet, and it seems to be like this."
Yu Yao squeezed the manuscript paper in his hand: "'Ri Chuan never writes the mystery of emotional drama', 'Ri Chuan's male protagonist is always a mystery of white clothes'... It's all in this book, readers will go crazy if they know it It's like Mr. Hikawa is playing a big game of chess, using the whole writing career to manipulate the setting of this book... ”
Yu Yao's tone made Chu Li couldn't help raising his head to look at her.
Yu Yao was silent for a while: "Chu Li, I decided to resign soon."
Chuli: "Huh?"
Yu Yao: "I will probably develop in another related field in the future, at least I will not touch the physical publishing industry again—take this book down as a gift for me, and I will give you back the position of editor-in-chief. Pay back."
"..." Chu Li was a little dazed, not wanting to understand why Yu Yao suddenly didn't want to do this job... She looked at Yu Yao, all the questions were written in her eyes, and she just answered slowly, "I'll try my best, you I also know that at present, Hiukawa's relationship with Yuanyue Society... Speaking of which, why do you think of resigning?"
Yu Yao smiled: "Your mobile phone has been turned off for the past two days, and you don't know what's going on outside—the company boss ignored our proposal of 'should you stand up and take responsibility for the author' the night before, and advocated 'don't make trouble for nothing? 'Liang Surf called his brothers and brothers, stay out of the matter and gossip about whether he is dead or alive after daybreak; Scolding the top management for 'not doing anything until things are under control', the ghost knows what we have experienced this weekend... If Teacher Xia is still here, at least things will not be what they are today."
Yu Yao thought for a while, and said slowly: "That's why I chose to resign. I'm already quite tired of trying to fix things for those in the marketing department..."
Chu Li sneered.
The people in the marketing department are not actually low in IQ.
They just have a too commercial vision and treat the whole world as a fool—
Whether it is the author or the author's book, in their eyes, it is only the difference between "can buy" and "can't sell". The statement of Liang Surf mentioned before is very representative: Give me Herman and his resources, and I can sell well.
The people in the marketing department will never think about why they give it to you, if they can take it back casually, and ask you to fuck—anyway, feelings, humanity, etc., in their opinion, this kind of thing is never Neither is the point.
And the boss happens to be a businessman, so he always has the same taste as the marketing department; on the contrary, those things that the editors care about are superfluous in their eyes. The editors only need to be responsible for receiving manuscripts, ordering manuscripts, proofreading, and communicating with the printing factory. up.
After Teacher Xia left, with the marketing department firmly established in the East Palace, Yuanyue Society went further and further on the wrong path.
"When I'm fine, I always think about why so many editors are needed. If it weren't for the listing evaluation, I would like to drive us all away," Yu Yao said. He is also an editor, pushing us to the front line to find out the author's tone... "
When Yu Yao said this, Zhou Chuan yawned and came out with the finished breakfast plate on the head of the chicken nest.
Er Gou jumped off the sofa and followed him with a "da da" sound, hoping to have a bite of the leftover bread and toast.
Chu Li followed the man into the kitchen with his eyes—
After a while, there was the sound of rushing water in the kitchen, and after a while, a man's unhurried voice came from the kitchen: "In this case, if you don't take this opportunity to teach the marketing department a lesson, what are you waiting for?"
Chu Li and Yu Yao looked at each other.
"From a purely businessman's point of view, this book has become a hot topic before it was published. Liang Surf should also want this "Desperate Peach Blossom and Sword"," Zhou Chuan poked his head out from the kitchen, "Then use this to blackmail him, what do you do, how about kowtowing and admitting your mistakes?"
"..." Chu Li picked up the manuscript paper, looked left and right, "When did this book have a name?"
Hiukawa remained expressionless: "I just took it."
First ceremony: "..."
Hiukawa: "It can't always be called the first novel, that book, this book, right?"
Chu Li: "You promised to give this book to Yuan Yue Society?"
Hiukawa: "I haven't agreed yet, but you can use the excuse of pleasing me to go surfing all the time... Anyway, judging from what you said now, even if you let him go to the live broadcast platform to do pole dancing, he will go."
"..." Chu Li was silent for a while, "When I met you, you weren't such an old bastard."
It's just a mentally retarded person who can yell "I'm a beggar".
"I learned from you." After washing the breakfast plate, Hiukawa came out shaking the water in his hands, leaning against the kitchen door with a carefree appearance, "'The author is the weapon in the hands of the editor' - you said this sentence , I was deeply impressed. And I, unlike Jiang Yucheng's rags and irons, I am the 'Shangfang Sword', seeing this sword is like seeing the emperor, and you and other marketing department civilians quickly kneel down."
As he spoke, the ten fingers and middle fingers of one hand were brought together, making sword-like gestures and thrusting out, and at the same time, one foot was raised to stand alone like a golden rooster.
Yu Yao: "..."
Chu Li had no expression on his face: "There are a lot of lowly insiders, just laugh at me."
…
noon.
Reluctantly looking at Chu Li's face, Zhou Chuan's attitude was not so resolute in boycotting Yuanyue Club, Yu Yao was relieved, and hurried home to rest without staying for lunch.
Chu Li dragged Hiukawa, who had been staying at home for dozens of days, to go shopping in the supermarket to buy ingredients for lunch and dinner. The community security saw Hiukawa with a surprised expression, similar to "you are still alive"...
As soon as he entered the supermarket, Liang Surf's call came.
Chu Li answered the phone, with a "thank you" tone, trying to discuss with Chu Li to see if they could issue a joint statement with Hiukawa to clarify the matters of these days together, because it might be possible if Hiukawa came forward After a little relief from Zhou Guxuan's serial attacks, the Internet has not been formally forgiven by Zhou Chuan, and the farts who are full of aggrieved and have nowhere to rest are overwhelmingly crusading against Yuanyue Society—
People always subconsciously blame animals.
These people who have not been forgiven and always feel that something is wrong easily found Yuanyueshe as the backer, and gave Yuanyueshe the rhythm and slaps they were taken these days.
The fate of Yuanyue Society being scolded bloody is that Liang Surfing was scolded bloody.
When he rarely hesitated like a bereaved dog and asked Chu Li if he could persuade Hiukawa to stand up and save the reputation of Yuanyue Society, Chu Li and Hiukawa were picking yogurt hand in hand...with their shoulders and heads sandwiched On the mobile phone, Chu Li bent down to pick up a box of yogurt and looked at it, and replied absent-mindedly: "Yes, yes, I also know that Yuanyue Club has been scolded badly these past two days, Yu Yao told me about it in the morning, um, Let me just say, Zhou Chuan is not dead yet, Lao Liang, you are just too anxious..."
Hiukawa lowered his head and took a look at Chu Li, who grinned at him.
He looked cheerful, without the slightest look of regret in his tone of "Oh, I said it a long time ago".
"Hiukawa hasn't contacted me yet. I'm just his editor at Yuanyue Club, not someone of his." Chu Li turned to look at Hiukawa, and then watched the "nobody" with her. The man in the relationship bent down and kissed her on the lips, Chu Li turned around and continued on the phone, "If he is angry with Yuanyue Society, he probably won't want to talk to me."
Liang Surfing on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said quietly in a tone of "You are fucking playing with me, I know I can't expose your anger": I heard that you and Hiukawa are in a relationship.
"We broke up a long time ago." Chu Li put down the yogurt, looked at the man pushing the supermarket cart in front, and looked back at her when he heard her words, "After you reminded me, maybe my being dumped is also related to Yuan Yue. about…”
Liang Surf became silent on the phone.
At this time, the trolley walked to the side of the family planning * safety product * condom.
Hikawa stopped.
Chu Li glanced at it: Condoms, there used to be a box of rice bought from the supermarket in Zhou Chuan's house, the quality was not good, but yesterday I didn't have to choose, so I just made do and used it up.
I was about to say, let’s buy a box, when I saw the man pushing the cart and said to the saleswoman with a serious face, “Here’s a box.”
First ceremony: "..."
The little saleswoman was probably a summer job, and seeing that she was not as old as Chuli, her face suddenly glowed.
Chu Li stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, covered Riu Chuan's mouth with his hands and pushed him back, while at the same time wrangling with Lao Liang in a serious manner—
"If you want to please Hiukawa, you don't have to prescribe the right medicine. Find out who the person who interviewed on the Internet was, and ask him to apologize publicly... You don't know who it is? Well, I didn't say you knew. You have to know, right? Well, this thing is weird—hahaha, yes, yes, I’m kidding, don’t be nervous—I mean how long has it been since the legal department of Yuanyue Society has not done anything serious other than printing contracts? You let them send Send a lawyer's letter and ask the PO who posted the video to sell off his teammate."
Chu Li squeezed the phone, picked up a box of condoms made in Japan, and took a look, but was snatched away before he could understand it.
Chuli: "?"
Hirakawa: "Japanese ones are too small to fit."
First ceremony: "..."
The saleswoman standing next to the shelf covered her mouth with a "poof" and laughed.
Hiukawa picked up a box of large European and American models, and glanced at it: "Is there any extra size?"
Chu Li hastily said to Liang Surfing, "Okay, you should do this first, and then look after Zhou Chuan when you look beautiful." After that, he hung up the phone, and snatched the condom back from the man's hand: "What a plus size! You have to pretend to buy this thing, vanity is a piece of shit, is that how it works?"
"What's the difference between buying a dress in size XXS and hanging it in the closet when you go home and saying 'wear it when you lose weight'?"
"I can lose weight, but you can get bigger with more use of that thing?"
"Why not?"
"When I was a three-year-old child, it's not that I have never seen or used it—"
"I don't want to quarrel with you," Hiukawa clasped Chu Li's face with his big hands, and pushed her back, "Can you be more civilized when discussing your boyfriend's size in public?"
Chu Li glared at him, grabbed the supermarket trolley and walked away with his head held high, leaving Riu Chuan standing there alone. After a while, he turned his head and said to the saleswoman, "Large size, I want a box."
