[The trolls hired by Monkey: @喵喵Aren’t you discussing a solution now? No one is saying anything, just stating the facts and the problem that needs to be solved…]
[The monkey's hired navy: What are you doing here? ]
【Meow meow: I'm rolling around?】
[Meow Meow: Chu Li, you are going too far. I am your senior after all. How can you talk to your senior like this?]
Chu Li: "..."
Zhuchuan's head was on Chuli's shoulder at this moment. After watching for a while, he gave him some advice in a very excited tone: "Tell him that only capable seniors are called seniors, and those without are called seniors who take advantage of their age. Type faster and with more momentum... Hey, why are you typing so slowly?"
Chu Li: "..."
Zhuochuan: "How about I come?"
Chu Li finally came back to his senses from Lao Miao's bombardment and realized that there was an author watching the core gossip from a close distance!
She twisted her head and was about to tell him to leave quickly, but the two of them were too close. Chu Chuan was bending his head next to her face. Chu Li turned her head and her lips brushed the man's cheek. They were both stunned. Chu Chuan jumped back like a frightened cat: "Why are you rubbing against me? You look so ferocious... Normally, if you can't help but get close to someone, shouldn't you blush and be shy? What's with that expression? Are you a woman... Forget it, are you a human?"
Chu Li reached out and pushed the chattering face away: "Don't look at me. Family disgrace should not be made public."
Zhuo Chuan was pushed so hard that his face turned upside down, and his voice became strange: "Oh, you see, she gave the manuscript to Suo Heng - there is nothing we can do. She just started writing, and there are people with such a little text and storytelling at the bottom, how can she expect people to submit? Why don't we stop her and let her write like this..."
Chu Li took his hand away from Zhuo Chuan and looked at him in slight surprise - he had not expected him to speak out the truth so easily, without any hint of ridicule in his words, he was just calmly stating the facts.
Chu Li: "Do you think so too?"
Zhuchuan raised his hand and rubbed his face, then glanced at her: "I'm not stupid."
Chu Li immediately typed——
[The trolls hired by Monkey: How did I go too far? There are more outrageous words to come. As a senior, shouldn’t you know more about the age group of the magazine’s readers than I do? Not many readers can follow the beginning of Suo Heng’s story, and you didn’t even bother to ask her to revise it—Zhu Chuan knew to write a silly and innocent cliché for the readers to write more…]
Chu Chuan: "What do you mean by 'Chu Chuan knows everything'... your tone, I mean knowing how to cater to the market."
"Okay, okay, you're the smartest, stop making noise."
Chu Li grabbed her phone and walked towards the living room. The man followed her like a little tail without thinking... Chu Li continued typing——
[The naval forces hired by Monkey: There are still more than two months before your issue is due, so there is plenty of time for the author to adjust the manuscript... Why did you accept the manuscript in such a hurry? ]
Zhuo Chuan: "To step on you to get to the top."
【Meow Meow: Why? If you couldn't collect the manuscript back then, shouldn't I be ready to clean up your mess at any time?】
Chu Li sneered loudly, and Zhuo Chuan fanned the flames: "Go!"
Chu Li glared at him: "As a member of Togashi Yoshihiro's team who didn't submit his manuscript, what are you so proud of? The reason why Lao Miao is trying to cover up for me is because you didn't submit your manuscript!"
"………………I asked you to confront him," the man patted her head, "Why are you confronting me?"
Chu Li rubbed his forehead with a headache and sighed, "I'm so angry."
"I forgive you this time, but if you talk to me like this again, I'll let you sleep under the east side of the bridge." The man pointed at the phone in Chu Li's hand, "Go on, he's still chattering away."
Chu Li picked up the phone——
【Meow Meow: This is weird. Aren’t Nian Nian the authors that I supervise? Why are you meddling in their work? If you were simply stating a fact and needed to announce it in the group, why didn’t you tell me in private?】
【Meow meow: Why are you pretending to be a good person?】
[The water army hired by Monkey: ...The entire January issue front matter plan will be vacant. When that happens, we will all be scolded by Teacher Xia and have our wages deducted. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope. How can we call it pretending to be a good person? ]
[The monkey’s hired navy: I pretended to be a good person, so why don’t you say thank you to me? ]
[The water army hired by Monkey: Yes, Suo Heng is the author you are leading! But they are essentially the authors of Yuanyue Publishing House, right? Isn't it Yuanyue Publishing House that pays the royalties every month? ]
[The water army hired by the monkey: Zhuochuan and Jiang Yucheng are indeed much more popular than Suoheng and the others. Anyone with eyes knows it - but do you have the fun of using this to mock me? What does their popularity have to do with me? ]
[The Monkey’s hired navy: The author is like a giant Buddha, coming and going as he pleases. Moonlight magazine and us editors are just one of the countless temples under their control. If you want to privatize the author, you are just dreaming.]
【Meow Meow: I won’t tell you. For every word I say, you have ten words waiting for me.】
[The Monkey's hired navy: Then forget about it, let's solve the problem as soon as possible so that everyone can go to sleep peacefully. ]
[Yu Yao: Have you had enough of the quarrel? If you have, just shut up - Lao Miao, you are getting angry out of shame.]
【Yu Yao: Don’t inform the author yet. We still have time. Tomorrow, let’s go find a trustworthy and tight-lipped author to see if he can help write a sequel. Chu Li, go ask Guiwa; Lao Miao, ask Hippo. Suo Heng should also inform her to write a sequel. We can modify the wording and style and use it directly. Then I will ask others. Oh, by the way, whether it’s Suo Heng or other authors, when you ask, don’t say that the manuscripts are not enough, just say that the quality is not good.】
[The navy hired by the monkey: Got it. ]
[Meow Meow: I still prefer to cancel this project. Anyway, these three authors have given way to others since Jiang Yucheng and Guiwa came, and their manuscript submission rate is not good. I might as well take this opportunity to completely replace them...]
[The monkey’s hired navy: Just forget it. ]
Finally, amid Chu Li's undisguised disgust, it was decided to find someone to ghostwrite for Suo Heng... Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, and when she put down her phone, she realized that her palms were full of sweat. At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: if anyone suddenly came up with the idea of organizing such an activity that required the author's strength and popularity to compete, she would be the first to stand up and firmly oppose it even at the risk of her life.
Chu Li: "How did Lao Miao, who is so stupid, become the deputy editor-in-chief?"
"He's already very old, he entered the industry early, and he had a lot of authors under him. I mean, before other magazines suddenly appeared in Moonlight——"
"Can an editor like him attract many authors?"
"What kind of editor will gather what kind of authors under him? Do you think that everyone enters this industry for the dream in their hearts? Most people just want to have a full meal."
"…warm and full? The price of the bag that Lao Miao is carrying is enough for me to eat for three months."
"He's one of those people who eats a lot."
…
Chu Li went to bed early that night, and before falling asleep he had a vague feeling that something might happen.
And women's sixth sense is always accurate.
The next day, she arrived at the editorial department early. As soon as she pushed open the door, she heard the faint sound of a girl crying... Chu Li quietly pushed the door open and looked out. Then, she saw an unfamiliar girl sitting in her seat - which was between Yu Yao and Lao Miao's seats - and she was wiping her tears with her head down.
Lao Miao had her back to the door, so Chu Li couldn't see her expression clearly. Instead, Yu Yao looked embarrassed. Chu Li had been working at the Moonlight editorial office for half a year, but she had never seen Yu Yao look like this before...
Chu Li shuddered and quickly retracted his head!
[The navy hired by the monkey: It seems something happened. ]
[The monkey’s hired soldiers: There is an unfamiliar girl sitting on my chair and crying. I don’t know who she is.]
[The Monkey's hired Marines: Would it be awkward for me to go in now? ]
【Zhuchuan: I heard that Suo Heng is also from G City.】
【Zhouchuan: Now you know who is inside. 】
【Zhuchuan: Ask for leave and go home. 】
【Zhu Chuan: Bring me some BBQ pork intestines rice noodles when you come back. I suddenly want to eat it.】
