At this time, Ningxia still wanted to know whether it would appear on the monthly ticket list. If it really appeared in February, her income would soar significantly.
This depends on your own income.
Ningxia has to pay attention to this.
"It's confirmed. The website will post the announcement on February 1st within the next two days."
When hearing Ningxia mention the monthly ticket list, Zhuang Yuan kept saying that Ningxia should strive for the top few places in the monthly ticket list, but Zhuang Yuan knew better than anyone that it was unlikely.
After all, there are not just one or two novels with millions of pages on the website, and there are so many lesser-known writers and several top bosses ahead of them, so the chances are really slim.
Although Ningxia's book broke the first-order record, it cannot compare with the number of fans of those big guys.
It's going to be released on February 1st? Are you in such a hurry?
"It's only five days until the first day of February. Don't you need to promote it in advance?"
Is this something Zhuang Yuan can decide?
He leaned close to Ningxia and whispered, "It seems the higher-ups are not optimistic about the monthly ticket rankings, so..."
Ningxia understood instantly without him having to finish speaking.
Ningxia thought, just wait and see, the monthly ticket list will be a must-fight place for many writers in the future.
Huge potential.
Actually, Ningxia isn't very interested in the monthly ticket rankings right now. After all, there are so many big shots out there, how could it be her turn? "What about the reward share?"
Zhuang Yuan knew it.
"Don't worry, the profit sharing will be based on the contract."
Ningxia is relieved now.
Zhuang Yuan suddenly remembered what Ningxia said, that the first part of "Ghost Lighting the Lamp" only had 250,000 to 260,000 words. After deducting the parts that had already been released and the parts that were to be released in the next few days, there would only be tens of thousands of words left.
It seems that "Ghost Lights Up the Lamp" has no chance of making it to the monthly ticket list. After all, the remaining words in "Ghost Lights Up the Lamp" will not last until the end of the month.
When Ningxia looked up, she saw an elegant woman in her thirties walking towards her.
Although there are some signs of aging on her face, she is a mature and capable beauty.
Ningxia didn't know who this person was, but Zhuang Yuan definitely knew him. His face suddenly turned cold, and he rushed forward before Ningxia could stop the person, saying with a grim expression, "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Yao, what can I do for you?"
Ningxia could certainly hear the gritted teeth in Zhuang Yuan's voice when he said this.
Zhuang Yuan never expected that this person would be so arrogant. In order to find the author of "Ghost Lighting the Lamp", he was willing to gamble directly downstairs of his own company. This person is really not afraid of being beaten.
"I heard that the author of 'Ghost Lighting' is coming to your company today, so I came to visit you."
Although Yao Yuncai was talking to Zhuang Yuan, her eyes were always on the beautiful girl behind Zhuang Yuan. There were previous rumors that the author of "Ghost Lights the Lamp" was a girl of some age. She thought it was a smokescreen released by Qidian.com and did not take it seriously at all.
But now it seems that the news is true.
Yao Yuncai directly opened up Zhuangyuan and headed straight towards Ningxia.
Ningxia looked at the person who came, and combined with Zhuang Yuan's address and tone, she guessed most of the information.
"Hello, you must be Ningxia, the author of 'Ghost Lights Up the Lantern'. I'm Yao Yuncai, deputy editor-in-chief of 'Liunian Novels Network'."
Ningxia gave a smile that met social expectations: "Hello."
Yao Yuncai didn't delay, knowing that time was tight.
Straight to the point: "Submissions to the Elite List will be open on February 1st, and I'm here to invite you to participate in this event."
"The writing fee is 100,000, plus a bonus of 100,000 for first place, 80,000 for second place, and 50,000 for third place. Furthermore, the top three winners can have their books published in physical form, and the commissions can be calculated according to your current contract."
"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Yao, this is really unkind. You've poached people from our company. I'm sorry..."
"Brother Yuan."
When Zhuang Yuan heard Ningxia's voice, his heart skipped a beat. This man loved money like his life.
You don’t really plan to change jobs, do you?
Zhuang Yuan looked at Ningxia with a pitiful expression.
As for publishing, Ningxia is indeed a little tempted. For him, it doesn't matter where he writes the book, and who can refuse to have his book published?
But when Ningxia saw Zhuang Yuan's resentful look, she still felt a little guilty.
Yao Yuncai, a shrewd man, could tell Ningxia was moved. He glanced at Zhuang Yuan and said, "I'm leaving you a business card with my phone number and UU on it. We'll be in touch later."
After shaking hands with Ningxia, Yao Yuncai got into the car in a leisurely manner.
Zhuang Yuan saw that Ningxia was really concerned and suddenly became anxious.
"Ningxia, Sister Xia, ancestor, you are not really going to switch jobs to Liunian, are you?"
Ningxia already had an idea and said with a smile, "Go make some extra money."
"Isn't 'Ghost Lighting' going to be finished in a few days?"
Zhuang Yuan: “…”
One second he was encouraging Ningxia to enter the entertainment industry for his sister, and the next second he was poached. He was so miserable.
"No, that's what... Xia Xia, are you really going?"
Ningxia saw that Zhuang Yuan was really anxious, and quickly comforted him:
"Now that it's over, I need to take a break for a while. Don't worry, I can just open two new accounts at most."
Zhuang Yuan thought Ningxia was going to change jobs, but when he heard that he was expelled from the party and fired, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Ningxia had a good impression of Zhuang Yuan; she didn't hide it from him at this time. She knew that she couldn't hide it at all, so she might as well tell it openly.
Seeing that Ningxia was determined, Zhuang Yuan knew that no matter how he tried to persuade her, it would be useless, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I comforted myself by thinking that it was just a dual opening, and anything would be fine as long as I didn't change jobs directly. Besides, Ningxia types so fast that it wouldn't have any impact.
If it weren't for this, Zhuang Yuan wouldn't have asked Ningxia if she was willing to try her hand in the entertainment industry.
Ningxia’s contract clearly states that the pen name "Be a Landlady" can only be used to write books on Qidian. I wonder what Ningxia plans to do.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Yuan instantly came to his senses and carefully leaned close to Ningxia's ear and asked, "If you can't use the pen name Landlady, are you planning to go into battle under a pseudonym?"
