"Editor-in-chief!!! Something's happened!!!!"
It was exactly eight o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Si Jin entered the company office, she heard her editors calling her in a frantic, demanding manner.
He took off his metal-framed glasses, rubbed his ears, and then said in a deep voice, "Come in and talk."
"Oh, oh." Xu Ying, a newly hired junior editor, ran over with a blue folder in her arms and tears in her eyes, and placed it on Si Jin's desk.
"This, this, this novel called 'Slaughtering Evil' has been signed for a film and television adaptation, and the copyright has been sold for 60 million."
Si Jin: "Isn't this a good thing?"
“Yes, it was supposed to be a good thing.” The young editor looked worried. “But the author ‘abyss’ has stopped updating now. No, to be precise, he has stopped updating for a month.”
"Readers are eagerly awaiting the manuscript, and the production team is still urging us to write the script. Now the pressure is on our editorial department, and they're asking us to chase up the manuscript."
Si Jin closed the contract: "Did you follow up with them?"
"I urged him," Xu Ying sighed in relief, "but I couldn't get him to move on! Look at my chat history with him."
As she spoke, she found the chat history on WeChat related to work and presented it to Si Jin.
Author's note: A God.
Editor's Note: [A-God, you haven't updated in a long time.]
A God: [Hmm.]
Editor: [Have you been busy lately? Readers are waiting. If you're not too busy, write a little something; it's okay to write fewer chapters.]
A God: [Not busy, don't want to write.]
Editor: [...But, not submitting the manuscript will result in a deduction in pay...]
God A: [I don't need the money.]
Editor: [What if the TV series adaptation breaches the contract?]
God A: [I have the money to pay the penalty for breach of contract.]
Editor: [But this might affect future book recommendations. Would you like to reconsider?]
There was no reply from the other end.
Then, Xu Ying sent messages for several days like a devoted admirer, but there was still no reply.
The chat history up to yesterday already showed red exclamation marks.
"..."
"See, editor-in-chief, there's nothing I can do! He blocked me."
Si Jin handed the phone back to Xu Ying: "What's his real name?"
"Qu Linyuan".
Si Jin's eyes lit up: "So you didn't go to his house to urge him to finish the manuscript?"
“I went there.” Xu Ying complained bitterly, “But the address he filled in wasn’t his current residence at all, so I returned empty-handed.”
"Editor-in-chief, please help me! My internship isn't over yet! If he keeps dragging this out, I'll lose my job!"
“Then you can put him under my name.” Si Jingtao’s eyes curved slightly, full of interest: “I’ll take charge personally.”
Xu Ying left the office with gratitude, and Si Jin turned on her computer and began searching for Qu Linyuan's real address using the location where he posted the article.
Deep within his consciousness, Xiao Yao, who had been preparing to report the address, fell silent.
How could it forget that adults are very skilled hackers and have no need for it?
Another day of slacking off (*'▽'*)
Si Jin operated the computer for a while, and in less than five minutes, she located Qu Linyuan's exact location through his post ID.
Then, he straightened his tie and drove away.
… …
Ding-dong—
Si Jin rang the doorbell, and soon the door of the detached apartment opened, and a young man in his mid-twenties walked out.
He was dressed in neatly tailored trousers, and his white shirt was covered with mathematical symbols and formulas, which made one's head spin at first glance.
But ironically, that face was gentle, quiet, and beautiful.
He had medium-length, soft, black hair that hung down, making him look somewhat well-behaved.
His eyebrows were like swords reaching his temples, and his phoenix eyes were bright and piercing.
Her thin lips were slightly pursed, which made people feel a sense of pity for her.
Si Jin took the initiative to greet her: "Hello, I'm Yu Si Jin, the editor-in-chief of Changning Novels..."
But before he could finish speaking, Qu Linyuan took two steps back and reached out to close the door.
