"Chu Li, you should talk to the Ministry of Law and ask them to get the contract out as soon as possible," Liang Chonglang shouted at the door, "to avoid any more trouble."

Chu Li: "..."

Chu Li withdrew his gaze from Xiao Niao who was walking past Liang Chonglang and said, "Don't worry, doesn't Teacher Zhuochuan have a second condition?"

The second condition is to find out who is behind this conspiracy.

Liang Chonglang made a gesture: "I will contact the people at Weibo again, you stabilize Zhechuan first."

Chu Li was thinking, "Maybe I can kill two birds with one stone." She was full of joy and anticipation for this Easter egg. She was in such a good mood that she even smiled at Liang Chonglang and said with a cheerful face, "Okay."

When the chair turned back, Chu Li realized that while she was leisurely waiting to watch the show, her QQ and WeChat were all buzzing—from the author to the editors of other publishing houses to the printing factory partners, everyone was asking her whether Zhuo Chuan's new book had been signed by Yuanyue Publishing House;

Is the first print run the legendary 700,000?

Have you found a manufacturer that you are interested in cooperating with? What do you think of us...

Chu Li: "..."

As mentioned before, in this era when the physical publishing industry is gradually declining and the first print run of an ordinary small author is only about 81 million, 700,000 is an astronomical number. Even if we look at the entire physical publishing circle, it will take about two to three years for a super IP to appear with an actual first print run of about one million.

This is a top priority in the physical publishing world.

So the first printing of "The Love Story and the Sword" and the publishing company must have been ordered. It was unclear where the news came from, but within half an hour almost the entire circle knew that the book had sold 700,000 copies, a 9 point increase...

Zhechuan was no exception. All the people he knew in the industry congratulated him. Even Gu Baizhi, who had "lost the bid", said "Congratulations, teacher" with a mouthful of blood. At the end, he added with resentment: "You stopped bidding just because Yuanyue Society raised the price. This is too biased. How could they have done this?"

Zhuo Chuan couldn't tell Gu Baizhi that he surrendered so easily only because Yuanyue Society held his lower body and the happiness of the rest of his life hostage.

——At this moment, everything seemed to have settled.

Only Chuan himself still felt as if he was living in a dream.

After all, when Chu Li first proposed the "500,000" first print run, even Chu Chuan himself thought, "Are you crazy? This broken thing is not worth this price" -

[Teacher Xizi: This crappy thing has only sold 700,000 copies... Have you calculated how much royalties you can give me? More than 2 million. So, are you planning to ask Tiandi Bank to open a bank card for me and burn it for me during the Qingming Festival?]

[The trolls hired by Monkey: You only know how to complain about your first work because it’s not good here or there... Why are you so much like your dad? 】

【Actor teacher: ????????????】

——Ten consecutive “Black Question Mark Face” emoticons from “Actor Teacher”.

[The naval forces hired by the monkey: But as an editor of a book publishing company, I have to look at your "junk" from a commercial perspective - please open Weibo and take a look at the hot search topic list. #命犯桃花与劍# has already climbed to such a high position, and its popularity is comparable to #吳彥祖出門#. How could this thing not sell well? Passersby will come to buy a set just to join in the fun.]

【Actor teacher: ??? Wu Yanzu became a monk?!】

[The navy hired by the monkey: …]

【Actor Teacher: Oh, I almost thought that the title of the most handsome man in the world was mine.】

[The water army hired by Monkey: You are so arrogant that you have lost your mind... Well, our legal department has already started working on the contract. The boss just sent me a private message and asked me if it was smooth sailing after work. He asked me to deliver the contract to your house after work. I can't delay for a second, for fear of a long sleep. ]

[The monkey's hired navy: ...I think it's going pretty smoothly.]

【Actor teacher: ……】

【Teacher Xizi: Don’t rush to give me the contract. We should settle accounts clearly as husband and wife. You have to find out those idiots who are slandering me before this contract will be valid. Have you remembered this?】

[The Monkey's hired navy: You are so petty and vindictive, you must be a Scorpio.]

【Actor Teacher: Don’t be so stupid, there are not only twelve kinds of people in the world—although I am one.】

[The navy hired by the monkey: What is it? ]

【Actor teacher:. 】

【Actor teacher: Scorpio.】

[The navy hired by the monkey: Haha ...! ]

[The trolls hired by Monkey: Yes, yes, I was just about to tell you about this. Lao Liang went to the Ministry of Law to urge the Weibo issue and then called the platform... Uh, although I think the platform is indeed pushing this matter forward, guess what, Xiaoniao just received a call and immediately turned pale.]

[The navy hired by the monkey: This time we might be able to kill two birds with one stone——]

[The Monkey’s hired navy: Wow, Lao Miao really hates me, even you are the one being messed with.]

【Actor Teacher: Then why doesn’t he mess with Ah Gui? 】

[The navy hired by the monkey: There is a big mountain ahead, who will go around and shovel the small mound of earth that the ants have piled up first... After you knock down the next one, it will be her turn naturally.]

【Actor Teacher: Take a screenshot and show it to Ah Gui.】

[The navy hired by the monkey: …]

【Actor Teacher: Call me daddy and I’ll let you go.】

[The navy hired by the monkey: Dad. ]

【Actor teacher:. 】

[The navy hired by the monkey:. ]

…

Xiaoniao went out to make a phone call and came back shortly afterwards. When she came back, she certainly didn't look very happy - to be precise, it wouldn't be ugly. It seems more appropriate and fitting to use "the sky is falling" to describe it.

Chu Li glanced at her, and became even more curious, almost going up to her and asking, "Who is calling?" Just at this moment, Chu Li's acquaintance in the Legal Department sent a message -

[A-Tui: Feedback has been given on Weibo, and the person involved has been notified. You will never guess who that person is! ! ! ! Wow! ! ! Our boss was so shocked that he was speechless. He even wanted to print out a copy of "Eight Honors and Eight Shames" and send it to your editorial department...]

[The Monkey's hired soldier: No, I think I can guess who that person is.]

Chu Li informed Yu Yao on the spot under the pretext of "discussing the details of Zhuchuan's contract" and fled the cafe with his lackey. The two sat face to face, pushed Zhuchuan's contract aside, and started gossiping.

Chu Li slammed the table, looking extremely excited: "It's a little bird, it's a little bird, it's a little bird, right, right, right, right, right - nod your head quickly and say: Yes!"

The little dog nodded and said in surprise: "Hey, how do you know? I have the latest news here!"

"After the meeting in the morning, when she heard that we were going to take legal action to protect ourselves, Xiao Niao ran to the bathroom and called someone to have a big fight, as if she was going to tear each other apart. She was trying to pass the buck between the lines..." Chu Li leaned back and crossed her legs. "I was in the last cubicle in the bathroom at the time. I was holding back my words and waited for her to finish her call."

Little dog legs: "..."

Chu Li sat up straight, leaning forward slightly: "Now you know that the person doing the interview is Xiao Niao, but what about the person being interviewed?"

Little Dog Legs: "It all depends on whether the little bird will respond or not."

"She will definitely confess," Chu Li chuckled. "I heard her say at the end that if anything goes wrong, she will definitely confess and give that person away. Do you think she is threatening the person on the other end of the phone? She must be serious when she is gritting her teeth!"

"How do you know they won't pay her to keep her quiet?"

"If that person had money, why would he do things so secretly? He could have hired trolls, set the tone, and pushed #晝川鬼寫# to the top of the hot searches and hot topics for three days and three nights, to discredit him and make him unable to recover?" Chu Li sneered, "In the end, nothing was achieved, and he was humiliated and helped晝川 to ascend to the throne of 700,000 copies of the book - it is undoubtedly the number one best-selling Chinese book in the country in the past two years, right?"

After the war, people only remembered the brilliant results.

And the sufferings were all glossed over lightly.

This can highlight the protagonist's complete victory.

...As for those grudges that should be remembered, I will naturally keep them in mind and repay them bit by bit.

"What did you decide to do with the bird?"

"No matter what she said or did, she will definitely be expelled from the sect - she caused Yuanyue Society to suffer such a great crime for no reason. The boss has no place to put this account and this anger."

Chu Li raised his chin when he heard this and said, "Give me this opportunity. When Lao Miao submitted his resignation report, I didn't even have time to say goodbye to him formally. I can't miss this opportunity again as he's a good henchman."

As soon as Chu Li finished speaking, the girl from the legal department laughed and said, "Whatever you want, whatever you want. You've dealt with Zhuo Chuan. Now you're a god in front of everyone in the company and the boss."

Chu Li nodded and said, "Tell your boss that I look forward to the "Eight Honors and Eight Shames" you sent me. I will place it on Xiao Niao's tombstone for three months as a token of respect, with great care and respect."

Chu Li didn't care whether he looked like a smug villain or not.

That's who she is anyway.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

…

He used the next bit of time to finalize the publishing contract for Hikawa's "Fated with Peach Blossoms and Swords" with the girl from the legal department. About an hour before the end of get off work, Chu Li hurried back to Yuanyue Society, the editorial department of "Moonlight" magazine.

I passed by the tank at the door with my eyes fixed on the fish that were fighting with each other and were covered with scales, with only two or three fish left. The garbage fish lying on the wall of the tank was leisurely blowing bubbles... The fish in the tank were replaced two or three times like cutting leeks throughout the year, but it was the only one that was still alive, and it seemed to be immortal.

After entering the editorial department, Chu Li didn't even have time to put down the contract. He went straight to Xiao Niao and said to the person sitting there, "Xiao Niao, you are the one who slandered Zhechuan online, saying that he falsified the print volume and leaked Yuanyueshe's internal secrets to do an interview in order to suppress Zhechuan. Aren't you?"

As soon as the first words of the ceremony came out.

The entire editorial department was shocked.

Ah Xiang said "eh" without any disguising, then realized that his voice was too loud and covered his mouth;

Yu Yao raised his head from his seat, looking confused and surprised;

Another art editor, Lao Wang, who usually turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, turned his chair and looked over curiously.

Xiaoniao paused in clicking the mouse, raised her head and looked at Chuli - her makeup was still delicate, but her eyes were gradually widening with panic that could not be concealed. After staring at Chuli in silence for a moment, Xiaoniao said in a daze: "Chuli? I don't understand what you are talking about..."

“Literally—” Chu Li’s voice sounded as if she had just been soaked in ice water. “Did you do that interview?!”

This decisive question made Xiaoniao completely panic: "Don't slander me..."

Chu Li didn't continue to talk nonsense with her. He just took out his cell phone, entered the audio list, pressed a music, and slapped it in front of the bird.

A vague sound with a toilet echo began to sound——

[That Chu Li didn’t look for anyone but the person who did the video interview…]

[You think she wouldn't know something? ]

[Anyway, if something goes wrong, I will definitely expose you. I don’t want to be sued…]

The little bird's face immediately turned very ugly.

"I didn't have time to record the previous part where you questioned others about how such a big commotion could happen during an interview, but this is enough," Chu Li said expressionlessly, "I'm sending you a message from the CEO and the HR department: Congratulations, you're fired."
