Chapter 13 Editing is numb

Shanghai City, Orange Reading Company office building, editorial office area.

""Zhu Xian" has topped the new book list!"

“It also entered the top twenty on the overall list!”

There was a scream, and the whole office exploded with a "boom".

"Holy shit, that's awesome!"

"This momentum is unstoppable. It will definitely be a hit this year..."

"Is this the vest of some great god? It's so awesome..."

While many editors were talking about it, many people turned their attention to a girl sitting on the desk near the door, with unconcealable envy in their eyes.

Shi Nuannuan was so excited that her face turned red and she was extremely excited.

As a top student in the Chinese Department who loves literature, she chose to join the online literature industry without hesitation after graduation, and successfully joined the largest literary website "Orange Reading" as an editor.

However, after working for more than a year, reality poured cold water on Shi Nuannuan, who was full of literary enthusiasm.

There were no resources, the results of the signed books were mediocre, and the repeated failures made Shi Nuannuan increasingly doubtful of his original decision.

Her family was also very dissatisfied with her decision to give up and return to be a primary school teacher. They thought that a girl would be stable and a teacher would help her find a good partner.

Shi Nuannuan gritted her teeth and did not give up. However, at her darkest moment, she encountered a book that made her eyes light up - "Zhu Xian".

At that time, "Zhu Xian" had only uploaded a few chapters. Although the beginning of the book was chased by enemies and the village was massacred, it was slightly new, but the name of the newcomer was completely unknown, so other editors had little interest in the book.

Shi Nuannuan was particularly optimistic about this book for some reason. Although she frowned at the pen name of this narcissistic author, she took the initiative to contact him and successfully signed the book to her name.

To everyone's surprise, the plot of this book "Zhu Xian" became more and more exciting. After the first round of recommendations, it almost immediately became popular.

Now it has officially landed at No. 1 on the new book list and in the top 20 of the overall list. Even Shi Nuannuan feels a little dreamlike and unreal.

"Nuan Nuan, the editor-in-chief is looking for you!"

A voice came, and everyone watched with envy as Shi Nuannuan ran into the editor-in-chief's office with slightly excited steps.

After carefully knocking on the open door, Shi Nuannuan walked into the office after receiving the answer.

The editor-in-chief, the devil, is so vicious!

The editor-in-chief, who was wearing highly myopic glasses and was slightly overweight, looked up and said kindly: "Nuan Nuan is here, sit down, sit down."

The flattered Shi Nuannuan sat on the sofa, her petite body sinking into the entire wide leather sofa.

It's so comfortable... Shi Nuannuan almost couldn't help moaning, but then she realized and straightened her back slightly to avoid making her sitting position look like she was enjoying herself too much.

The editor-in-chief didn't seem to notice Nuan Nuan's little move at all, and said with a smile: "Nuan Nuan, "Zhu Xian" has been ranked eighteenth on the overall list. This is a very good result. You signed this book very well!"

"The team has decided that you will be graded A in this year's year-end assessment, and your bonus will be based on the best grade."

"Thank you, editor-in-chief!"

Shi Nuannuan was overjoyed. Hearing such good news so early in the morning was like a double happiness.

You know, as a newcomer with little achievements, her year-end assessment rating last year was C, and her year-end bonus was pitifully small.

The book "Zhu Xian" is really his lucky star, Shi Nuannuan thought sweetly in his heart.

Seeing the joyful look on the face of the youngest member of the group in front of him, the editor-in-chief smiled and said: "This "Zhu Xian" now has more than 300,000 words, and the new book period is about to end."

“The team is very optimistic about this book and plans to give it a recommendation spot after the new book period ends.”

"Thank you, editor-in-chief!" Good news hit Shi Nuannuan one after another, and she was already a little dizzy.

You know, if a book wants to be successful, in addition to good writing, traffic and exposure are also very important.

In this day and age, the fragrance of wine is afraid of being in a dark alley!

As for promotion, it is to recommend books on the "Orange Reading" web page, the most prominent interface of the app. There are more than a million books being serialized on "Orange Reading". Those who have been able to get the opportunity to be promoted before are almost without exception.

It is an extremely excellent work by a great writer.

If "Zhu Xian" gets promoted and its traffic performance reaches a higher level, Shi Nuannuan's income will naturally experience a big explosion...

The editor-in-chief paused and asked: "Nuan Nuan, how much do you know about the author of "Zhu Xian", uh... the arsonist...?"

Shi Nuannuan was startled, then his face fell and he said: "...Not many."

"This Fang... the author usually talks very little. Except for a few words we exchanged on QQ when we signed the contract, he usually doesn't reply when I send messages at other times. At most, he just replies with the word 'hmm'."

How can this be called not a lot? It is simply ignorant.

The editor-in-chief pressed his temples with a headache. Apart from knowing from the ID card provided during the contract that the author of "Heart Arsonist" is only 21 years old and his real name is Ye Zhiqiu, he knows no other information.

What is the other person's occupation? Does he write online articles full-time or part-time? In fact, many editors in the group doubted whether a well-known traditional literary figure used his nephew's ID card to write online articles.

After all, if the other person is still studying, he has not graduated from college at the age of 21, right? The editor-in-chief does not believe that a 21-year-old student can write a text full of Taoist philosophy such as "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are treated as rotten dogs."

Shi Nuannuan looked at the editor-in-chief aggrievedly, shouting in her heart that she was helpless! She was an editor who almost turned into a dog-licker and greeted her every three days. This narcissistic author ignored her!

The editor-in-chief sighed and said helplessly: "His recent updates are a bit unstable, which sometimes affects readers' experience. You can try to contact the other party to find out the status of their manuscripts."

The editor-in-chief's face became serious: "The minimum requirement is that after being promoted, updates cannot be interrupted!"

"good!"

Shi Nuannuan was excited and answered subconsciously.

The editor-in-chief nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "I'll make arrangements, and the work of signing the remaining books can be temporarily handed over to other colleagues. During the period of banning, you must do your best to protect this... author, do you understand?"

Shi Nuannuan opened his mouth slightly, but nodded.

Dazedly walking out of the editor-in-chief's office door, Shi Nuannuan didn't care about the envious looks of others, and fell down on the seat with a "pop", and Shi Nuannuan's little face fell down.

It's over!

That guy sometimes has 10,000 words of updates, but on the lowest day, he only has more than 2,000 words! He is just testing like crazy on the edge of discontinuing updates, okay?! Maybe tomorrow...

Specifically for maintenance... After talking for a long time, the other party replied "Oh" five hours later. How could she maintain it? Did she crawl along the network cable and use a knife to force him to write?

Shi Nuannuan was about to cry but had no tears. Finally, she opened the Penguin interface on her computer with a trembling hand.
Chapter completed!
