The lunch break is over when it's said to be over.

Yu Yao walked quickly to the back of the desk, without giving Lao Miao a chance to speak, and said to Chu Li with a smile: "Send me a copy of Jiang Yucheng's manuscript as well. A few years ago, when his "The Vanishing Zoo" was reprinted in hardcover, I went to the bookstore to queue up on the day of its release... I really miss it. At that time, I was still a senior student, and I was full of yearning for the publishing industry-"

Having said this, Yu Yao seemed to remember something and she suddenly shut up.

Lao Miao laughed and said, "Our boss is amazing. Just like Chu Li, she sold a best-selling book right after she graduated and entered the industry. Suo Heng's most popular book was written by her."

Yu Yao looked at Lao Miao, and an emotion flashed across her face that was so fast that it was hard to catch. She quickly returned to her normal smile and turned to Chu Li and continued, "What are you doing? Send it to me quickly. It's Jiang Yucheng's manuscript."

Chu Li didn't know why Suo Heng was suddenly mentioned at this time, and was a little surprised that Yu Yao actually knew Suo Heng... He responded and sent the document directly to Yu Yao.

——I have seen this short story when I was proofreading the text. It is a first-person description with "I" as the protagonist, saying that when "I" was young, I had a very good friend, and "I" used to go to the amusement park with her... In the whole story, the beginning describes "I" sitting in the yard playing with a doll; in the middle, I was called to the amusement park by my "good friend"; the funniest part is the ending, through "I"'s description of the "good friend's" appearance, it is revealed that this "good friend" looks exactly like the doll that appeared at the beginning...

This typical "Jiang Yucheng-style" way of telling jokes makes people feel confused. Looking back at the previous text, I found that the long description of the amusement park in the previous part was also full of various strange foreshadowings - for example, when buying popsicles, the vendor only spoke to "me"; when buying tickets, the ticket seller only quoted the price for one person; when riding the roller coaster, the staff looked at me strangely and whispered something like "such a young child comes to play alone"...

It was only 800 words long, and it took Yu Yao no more than five minutes to finish reading it. After finishing it, he sighed, "It's still so well written. It's just a small story, but I still feel unsatisfied after reading it... If the overall market for suspense and horror genres wasn't bad right now, how could Jiang Yucheng's popularity drop?"

At this time, Lao Miao had also finished reading Jiang Yucheng's manuscript. He looked up at Yu Yao and knew that if he said "Let's not use Jiang Yucheng's manuscript" at this time, he would definitely be asking for trouble. So he had to look up and say to Ah Xiang: "Ah Xiang, come here. Later, give half of the P (* page) that Nian Nian occupied to Jiang Yucheng..."

No words were spoken at the beginning of the ceremony.

She looked at Yu Yao.

As expected, Yu Yao spoke. She stood up and walked behind Ah Xiang. "Jiang Yucheng and Niannian share the same page? Wait, how did you divide it originally, Lao Miao?"

Lao Miao: "There are four authors in total, and three pages of space. Originally, Suo Heng occupied one page alone; Niannian occupied one page alone; the one called Guiwa and Hippo shared the last page... Now that Jiang Yucheng is here, let Niannian give up half of the space and let him in—"

Yu Yao raised his head and glanced at Lao Miao. The ridiculous look of "are you crazy?" successfully made Lao Miao choke and shut his mouth... Chu Li glanced at Xiao Niao, who also felt the tense atmosphere and stretched his neck to look over - the expressions of the master and apprentice were exactly the same...

Chu Li cleared his throat and raised the folder in his hand with a serious look to hide the unsuppressible curve at the corners of his lips.

Chu Li's eyes, which were exposed outside the folder, widened slightly: "Hey, Lao Miao, didn't you say before that the layout allocation is based on the popularity of the author? How can Teacher Jiang Yucheng use the same layout as Teacher Niannian? This..."

Chu Li drew out the last syllable of his words with a puzzled look on his face, then turned to look at Yu Yao again.

It was as if she had handed a pig-killing knife to her dear editor-in-chief.

And her dear editor-in-chief really took over the pig-killing knife——

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with what Chu Li said! Lao Miao, you should clear your mind once in a while. When an author of Jiang Yucheng's caliber submits to Moonlight, it's fine if you don't worship him, burn incense and kowtow to him, but you let him be suppressed by second-tier authors and squeezed out by third-tier authors?!" Yu Yao glared at Lao Miao and said unceremoniously, "Can you still be alright?!"

…………Tsk tsk tsk.

It's like sharpening a knife to attack pigs and sheep.

Chu Li sighed in his heart, and heard Lao Miao's powerless struggle in his ears: "No, Boss, think about it, Suo Heng and Niannian are old authors who have followed us for many issues, we have to give them some face..."

Yu Yao: "You refuse to use that donkey again..."

Chu Li hid behind the folder and reminded: "Cute donkey."

Yu Yao clapped his hands and said, "Yes! That's not what you said when you refused to accept Ms. Menglu's manuscript again! She was one of the authors of our first issue!"

Lao Miao: "But Suo Heng..."

Yu Yao said expressionlessly, "I know, but she is definitely not qualified to be compared with Jiang Yucheng."

Lao Miao looked at Yu Yao deeply. Yu Yao looked back at him, his tone becoming colder: "What are you looking at?"

At this time, Xiao Niao behind them seemed to finally not be able to bear it anymore and took the initiative to jump out to share the damage for her teammates: "Boss, I think what Lao Miao meant was that Teacher Jiang Yucheng had never worked with us before..."

Yu Yao paused, turned his head and looked at Xiao Niao expressionlessly and said, "Yes, if we really release it according to the layout you have arranged now, I promise that Jiang Yucheng will never cooperate with us again in the future."

Lao Miao: “…”

Little Bird: “…”

Seeing Lao Miao dumbfounded and Xiao Niao blushing in embarrassment, Chu Li hid behind the folder with her mouth almost grinning from ear to ear - she sat quietly on the side, watching Yu Yao fiercely and unyieldingly overturn all the layouts that Lao Miao had arranged before... In the end, the layout plan handed over to Ah Xiang was: Jiang Yucheng each occupied one P, Suo Heng and Nian Nian, Guiwa and Hippo occupied the remaining two Ps in pairs.

Yu Yao stood behind Ah Xiang, watching him arrange the matters planned at the beginning of the volume one by one, and finally stood up and glanced at Lao Miao who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lao Miao: "Suo Heng is different from the other three. You are putting her on the same level as Niannian and Hippo..."

Yu Yao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I know what you are thinking."

Try hard to find a place for the authors you have. The author's position in the entire magazine determines the editor-in-chief's position in the editorial department.

Lao Miao: “…”

Yu Yao casually said, "We have to know the importance of this matter. Jiang Yucheng is not someone you can joke with or offend." He reached out and patted Lao Miao on the shoulder, then returned to his seat.

...The big drama ended like this.

Chu Li put down the folder covering her face, regained her normal expression, turned her hips and faced the computer.

Work work.

I opened the dialogue box with Jiang Yucheng and reiterated that everything has been arranged. As a reader, I would like to thank you for your kindness and for saving me from a dire situation. As an editor, I look forward to the next formal cooperation with the teacher.

Jiang Yucheng replied with a bunch of "hahaha" and left a sentence that made Chu Li very happy -

【Jiang Yucheng: You’re welcome. We have a long way to go :)】

Chu Li: "..."

Staring at the screen on the computer, Chu Li's mind was filled with "Oh my God", "My Jade Emperor", "The sun shines on the earth, I stand in the center of the world, spinning and jumping like a little swan", "How can Jiang Yucheng be so good, so good, so good", etc. Colorful bullet screens exploded and flew across... When she first entered the industry, the feeling of expectation, anxiety, and excitement returned to her body again——

She felt empowered.

The girl's heart was pounding.

Her round fingertips tapped on the keyboard, she smiled, her black eyes sparkling——

[The monkey's hired navy: You must not know what happened. ]

[The navy hired by the monkey: The white lotus in my heart has already bloomed. ]

[The navy hired by the monkey: Its name is Jiang Yucheng. 】

【The disappeared Mr. L:? 】

[Disappearing Mr. L: Wait a minute, let me turn on a background music: "Green Light"]

[The disappeared Mr. L: ……………………What’s with that disgusting tone? Who do you want to piss off to death?]

【The disappeared Mr. L: Think before you speak, or I will block you. 】

[The disappeared Mr. L: This time it wasn’t my junior brother who accidentally blocked me, it was me who personally took action to kill my own brother for the sake of justice. ]

[The navy hired by the monkey: What are you jealous about? Hahahaha! ]

[The Monkey’s hired army: Didn’t we break up? ! ! ! ]

[The Monkey’s hired naval officer: Hey, let’s be serious. I was just worrying about the foreword project, and Jiang Yucheng suddenly showed up like a surprise soldier and asked me if I could help... Oh, you don’t know, when I handed in the manuscript, the expression on the face of that green tea bird in the office was so funny, hahahahahaha!!]

[The navy hired by the monkey: Chew! ]

…

Chu Li was happily drinking water from the banana man cup in one hand while waving one paw and typing with a smile on her face. She didn't know that on the other side, the man sitting in front of the computer had a vein twitching on his forehead when he saw the word "啾咪".

The hand that was originally caressing the big dog's head gently suddenly stopped, and grabbed the big dog's ears and turned them into rabbit ears.

When the big dog shook off his hand with a wheeze and walked away in disgust, the man sneered at the computer, then he pushed away the keyboard in front of him, stood up, and walked towards the bathroom: his back looked like a soldier about to step onto the battlefield.

…

Here, Chu Li waited for a while, but did not get any response from Mr. L.

But not long after, she waited for Zhuchuan while holding the cup. The familiar avatar lit up again. Chu Li narrowed her eyes slightly and thought that this great god was of no value. When she clicked it, there was only one word -

【Zhuchuan: In? 】

At this time, Yu Yao behind him called out "Lao Miao", Chu Li didn't care and replied casually -

[The navy hired by the monkey: Here, teacher, what’s up? ]

Zhuochuan said nothing.

The moment Lao Miao stood up, Chu Li stared at the dialogue box in the center of the computer screen. A pair of clean, clean panties with a banana pattern on them appeared on the hanger in the bathroom, occupying the entire screen.

Chu Li spat out all the water back into the cup.

【Zhuchuan: Your panties. 】

【Zhechuan: Company address.】

【Zhaochuan: SF Express cash on delivery. 】

then.

When Lao Miao stood up and walked towards Yu Yao...

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the person next to him suddenly jumping up as if he had a seizure, opening his arms, covering his own monitor, and blocking most of the content on the screen with his entire body!

Lao Miao: “?”

Chu Li, who looked like a patient and was holding his computer monitor like an octopus—

Lao Miao: “What are you doing?”

Lao Miao: "Are you having a seizure?"

Chu Li: "..."

Just like when you are watching porn at home and your mother suddenly walks in, most people choose to unplug the power cord instead of calmly shutting down the playback software...

The same thing happened to Chu Li. She chose to use the simplest and crudest method to protect her dignity with her not-so-strong body.
