Linlang got straight to the point: [Do you know that Huayu.com can’t pay the manuscript fee? ]

Jiang Baige: [Well... our group has been discussing this very heatedly... although it is written by Nanlin.com... how are you doing? ]

Linlang: [Except for the fact that I may not get the royalties I owe you, everything else is fine.]

This was a bit ambiguous, so Jiang Baige could only ask based on her own guesswork: [Does this mean that editors from other websites have contacted you?]

Linlang: [You guessed it right! Not only Nanlin, there are several others, but Nanlin.com is the most famous, and you are also here... It's just that I haven't made up my mind yet. ]

Jiang Baige: [Are you worried about anything? About the manuscript fee? Or are you worried that you won’t be able to adapt to Nanlin.com?]

Linlang: [I think both... Hey, I bought a house at the end of last year, and now I am a house slave. I have to pay the mortgage regularly every month. If I start over on a website, what if it doesn't suit me... The income will definitely not be as stable as commercial manuscripts. ]

That’s really the problem.

But this time, Jiang Baige is no longer the female college student who could only comfort her by saying “It’s okay, take your time.”

In order to be able to extend a "helpful hand" to Linlang at this moment, she has been laying the groundwork for a year and a half.

Jiang Baige: [By the way, ma’am, have I ever told you that besides the account you saw, I also use a small account to write sweet stories, and the income is not bad.]

Linlang seemed to be surprised that Jiang Baige would suddenly change the subject, and said, "You didn't seem to have mentioned this to me before, but does this have anything to do with Huayu's bankruptcy?"

Jiang Baige: [It has nothing to do with Huayu.com, but it has something to do with Mrs. Linlang.]

Afterwards, Jiang Baige recounted her mental journey from the frustration of writing her first novel with a female protagonist, to her near switch to a male-oriented novel, to her later inspiration from another author and her decision to use a secondary account to write sweet stories to supplement her income.

Of course, she would not tell Linlang that she wanted to switch to the male channel because the same book that was a big hit in the male channel received mediocre response when she changed it to a female protagonist, which made her discouraged.

But at this point, Linlang had already guessed what she was going to say: [You mean, if I still want to write online articles, I can consider doing online articles and commercial articles at the same time? However, it might be very hard...]

Jiang Baige: [Indeed. Recently, the data of my sweet novel is good, and the editor has applied for several lists. Now I drink Chinese medicine every day and hang on for half my life. I write a little when I am awake...]

When Jiang Baige was doing this herself, she didn't actually feel that tired.

Because she likes to write, unlike in her previous life when she was working and doubted the meaning of life and work every day when she opened her eyes...

However, if you really say this, it's not easy to hear.

Linlang was a soft-hearted person, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Baige: [You are still working so hard even though you are sick, are you short of money? ]

Hmm? This direction is a little strange... But, it can be used.

Jiang Baige: [It’s not that I’m short of money, it’s just that I love writing, so I don’t want to give up easily… After all, only a few people can become a god with just one book, and most authors still need to accumulate many books. ]

These words really touched Linlang's heart: [Yes, it took me four or five years to gradually get better. I can't give up just like that...]

Jiang Baige strikes while the iron is hot: [Yes! And if I stop this time, I really don’t know when I will be able to do this again... And by then, I will have to start all over again. It is better to grit my teeth and hold on while the readers are still here...]

She couldn't just say she wouldn't help, she had to demonstrate her power as "Linlang's connection on Nanlin.com."

Jiang Baige: [By the way, Madam, I saw in the Nanlin author group that many editors want to sign the great writers from Huayu.com. Do you want me to ask them for you? This way you can compare the benefits from multiple angles...]

For great authors like Linlang, editors sign with a minimum guarantee of 1,000 words.

Therefore, different editors may give different guaranteed prices.

Linlang was really happy: [Okay, thank you then! ]

After finishing the conversation with Linlang, Jiang Baige immediately called her editor, Ah Q, and implicitly expressed that she knew a resident writer at Huayu.com and wondered if she would be interested.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhou said that she prefers the "cultivation system", which is to watch the young authors grow step by step, so she does not plan to participate in this battle for talent.

This surprised Jiang Baige a little. After all, anyone who has worked knows that KPI is directly linked to promotion and salary increase.

However, she thought again, Zhou Zhou just likes to cultivate young authors, but that doesn’t mean that young authors won’t become best-selling authors... To be able to say this with the confidence, he must have quite a few mature authors on hand.

She doesn't need to worry about others.

However, since her career as an editor was not feasible now, she could only try other methods.

Just when she was about to go to the author group to ask, Zhou Zhou gave her the names of several editors, saying that these editors wanted to sign new authors recently.

Jiang Baige immediately spotted one of the editors named "Xiao Cui".

Because this is the editor of Sun Sweet Egg.

Sunny Sweet Egg said that "Xiao Cui" was not originally called Xiao Cui, but "Xiao Cui". As long as the author saw her online, he knew it was time to write the manuscript...

Later, in order not to put too much pressure on the author, she changed the word "urge".

How could Jiang Baige not be impressed?

She said thank you to Zhou Zhou and went to look for Sun Sweet Egg.

Come to think of it, the two of them haven't been in touch for a while... Mainly because of her poor health. Going to classes and writing articles every day exhausts all her energy. How can she have time to go to A Q and keep in touch with everyone?

I don't even bother to reply to the comments below the novel...

But it’s better this way, she won’t have to worry about the data or be embarrassed by some comments that make her laugh and cry.

Sunny Sweet Egg saw her message and quickly replied: [Madam, how come you have time to look for me today? ]

keen!

Jiang Baige smiled and said: [Of course I want to ask you for a favor. ]

Sunny Sweet Egg: [What favor? Madam, please tell me! I just want a little spoiler in return...]

Jiang Baige first sent a laughing emoji, and then said: [I heard that your editor is taking in the sad people on Huayu.com... I have a great friend, can you help introduce him to someone? ]

SunnyDan: [How great is he? (starry eyes)]

Jiang Baige guessed that it was just her gossip, but she still said: [She is a resident writer, you can definitely find her in the top ten of various lists... I just don't know if you can come up with a starting price? ]

After listening to the introduction of Sun Sweet Egg, Xiao Cui was indeed attracted, so Jiang Baige sent Linlang's contact information.

What happened next was up to the two of them to discuss on their own.

What Sunny Sweet Egg cares about now is: [Madam, can you tell me when the heroine can find her mother? ]
