"How's Ouyang doing lately? I've heard about you. I've always wanted to speak out, but the publishing house stopped me. You know people like us don't have much.

We have autonomy. Unlike you, most of our rights to speak have been controlled by publishing houses. It is indeed not that easy to be free."

Ouyang Tang himself was in a state of tangle and contradiction. While he was worryingly thinking about ways to break the situation, he also tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened in front of his girlfriend. This kind of mental and physical torture was really frustrating.

His whole body became very haggard at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The only thing I'm thankful for is that my girlfriend doesn't have many preferences in literature, or she doesn't have many channels or preferences for understanding. This makes my concealed plan go very smoothly. As long as the other party pays a little attention to her,

If you look at the literary news, you can immediately learn about the latest hot news that is making a lot of noise.

I was also racking my brains to think of a way to break the situation. Unexpectedly, I suddenly received a phone call one afternoon, and the content described in the phone call also made me feel a little confused. The person who made the call

He is a friend of yours in the poetry world that you had a good chat with before. That was how people interacted with each other at that time. Of course, with the gap in status between two people, the friendship they originally had may slowly become more serious.

Shallow, coupled with the passage of time and less and less contact, this good friendship naturally gradually turned dark.

The important thing is that both parties are in the same industry. If this kind of friendship is to be maintained, it needs to be evenly matched. For example, every work and collection of poems that I produce can be wildly recognized and sought after by publishing houses and social groups, and friends

Your submissions will be rejected over and over again, and you may even have to cut off your literary path at one point. In such a situation, no matter how open-minded the other person is, they may not have much intention to continue to maintain a relationship with you. Faced with this,

Because of your success, the other person will feel ashamed of themselves, and may even feel envy and jealousy unconsciously.

I thought that this friendship would slowly end without any problem as time and the gap widened. We maintained a relationship that was neither far nor close. When we met in the circle, we would unconsciously nod and exchange simple greetings12, but if we talk about two

It's basically impossible for the two of us to meet again in the future.

Unexpectedly, when I encountered a problem and was at a loss, the call from the other party actually explained the reason why I didn’t lend a helping hand immediately when I encountered difficulties. When communicating with adults, sometimes they pay more attention to the occasion and the situation.

Face, although Ouyang Tang knows that the things the other party said are nonsense, maybe between the writer and the publishing house, the publishing house certainly occupies a comparatively advantageous position, but if the writer maintains relatively clear ideas on certain issues

, the publishing house will not interfere too much with the other party's sense of autonomy. The two parties are just in an era when the cooperation contract is signed and it is not the previous contract of selling oneself. It is nothing at all and has no right to speak.

But since the other party gave an explanation, he just followed the flow and continued to communicate and chat up this level. Moreover, after the last incident, Ouyang Tang understood a truth. Sometimes in this circle, he wants to stay for a long time.

To gain a foothold or hang out, you must have some like-minded friends, so that you will not be so isolated and helpless when you encounter problems. The main reason why you are in the current situation may be that you are young and frivolous.

, I did a lot of things that were too personal, and when I really encountered a problem, no one would get involved more or less, and my friendship with the other person was not to the point where I could help.

"It's okay. I can understand it. It's good to have this intention. By the way, I don't know what's the reason for calling you?"

To be honest, even though he is in a depressed state now, Ouyang Tangyi just doesn't think highly of this good friend he met before, because after these years of analysis and thinking, he has already gained a better understanding of the characteristics and moral qualities between people.

A relatively clear analysis. When I became famous at a young age, I have not seen many people who flatter me with bad words. The obvious villain is not so annoying. On the contrary, these people have different thoughts and subconsciously want to gain benefits from you.

The disguised villains are the most hated ones.

Precisely because of this, he didn't have too many thoughts to continue chatting with the other party. Although he was in despair, he was not reduced to the point where a writer of the other party's level could laugh at him at will. Furthermore,

The main reason why I answered the phone was just to be polite, and I had no intention of renewing our friendship with the other party.

Even though I have changed my previous personality and become more mature, I still want to find some like-minded friends in this circle who can help and assist each other, but I still look down on the other party at this level, and the other party also

There is no ability and no possibility of appearing in the list of friends chosen by oneself.

"Don't you know? By the way, maybe the news from you is not that timely. I just got some news. Since you know Gu Cheng, why didn't you ask someone for help earlier? A casual limerick from the other party can directly change the direction of public opinion.

, your situation in the literary world is much better now. After he spoke out, more and more people are standing in the same position as you. Let me tell you, you will definitely not fall into despair easily.

, sooner or later we will be able to make a comeback."

The other party's words were full of envy and jealousy. Originally, he thought that the other party would fall into despair after encountering such a setback, or even slowly disappear from the public. However, he did not expect that some people's fortunes were so incredible, even if

When you encounter difficulties, you can also have a lot of appreciation or friends you have made before who are willing to help.

What's more important is to know that Gu Cheng's reputation in Wenpan at this moment is simply second to none. Anyone who gets a little closer to him will get crazy pursuit from fans and book lovers, along with the sales of previous works.

Performance will also improve.

The most important thing is that some rumors have spread in the literary world. According to the age and current achievements of the other party, he may even become the youngest literary giant in the nearly century-old history of the literary world. When I think that I can pass this roundabout way,
