After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Jiang Baige did not answer directly, but took out a book from the bookshelf: "This is published by her, right?"

Lin Xingran took the book and understood what Jiang Baige meant - this was a feminist book written by an Italian scholar.

The publishing house and the content of the book both match her description, so it is not surprising that Jiang Baige would have such a guess.

"What a coincidence." She was a little surprised.

Only Jiang Baige knew that they had had a similar conversation in their previous life. It was just that Lin Xingran saw Jiang Baige reading this book and said excitedly that the editor-in-charge of this book was the editor who supervised her.

Jiang Baige just noticed the editor's name - Dugu He. Because it was very special, she had some impression of it.

But other than that, they didn't talk in depth, so Lin Xingran had never mentioned Meng Ping's name before.

But she knew what happened next.

Because they met again after graduating from college.

Lin Xingran came to Anjing on a business trip for work reasons.

At that time, Jiang Baige was not satisfied with her work because what she really liked was writing, but she did not dare to try it full-time easily.

She thought that Lin Xingran would have a better life after graduation because he chose a job he liked and followed his favorite editor. However, she didn't expect that Lin Xingran would complain to her.

"Teacher Dugu left the company half a year ago."

Because their company had undergone a major business adjustment, it wanted to shift the focus of books from importing copyrights to independently developing topics.

Dugu He saw that online literature had a rich variety of themes and a large number of authors, and he believed that this market had great potential. At that time, the copyright fees for online literature were also very cheap, and there were even discounts for "package purchases"... So he decided to start in this area.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning. She even sold the film and television rights to several of the novels she signed.

After the TV series was released, it also boosted the secondary sales and reprinting of the book, and she became extremely popular for a while.

Because of this reason, their department needed new staff. The leader was also afraid that Dugu He's "achievements were greater than his own", so he placed one of his confidants in their department.

Lin Xingran did not say the man's name, but just kept referring to him as "that man".

When the man first came to their department, he didn't behave in a strange way, and Dugu He and Lin Xingran were busy with work and had no time to care about him.

Dugu He is very smart. Although he has done well in this field in China, he has not given up on copyright to introduce books.

She knew that Lin Xingran had a good eye, was good at foreign languages, and liked to work on copyrighted books, so she gave all the books in the department to Lin Xingran. Lin Xingran did not disappoint her expectations and did produce several best-selling books with good reputations.

But at the same time, Lin Xingran didn’t pay much attention to online literature and thought it was developing well.

Until one day, their department was called in for a talk by the leader, who said that because their department had caused huge losses to the company, Dugu He should resign. Lin Xingran was still in shock.

After get off work that evening, Dugu He had a deep talk with Lin Xingran.

It turned out that in the past year or so, the books she signed were all fine when the topics were selected, but as soon as the contract was signed, or even the entire process was completed, except for assigning the book number and printing, the book would suddenly be maliciously reported on the Internet.

In the mildest case, the online article will be removed from the shelves, affecting sales. In the worst case, the book number cannot be obtained, and all previous efforts will be wasted. In the most serious case, even the author was invited to have tea.

At first she thought it was a coincidence, but as the coincidences became more and more frequent, it attracted her attention, and finally she found out that it was the man arranged by the leader who set up a trap for her in secret - if that was the case, it must have been arranged intentionally by the leader, and it was useless for her to argue.

She was disheartened and wanted to quit, but then another publishing house offered her an olive branch, so she decided to resign and leave.

Hearing this, Jiang Baige was a little puzzled: "Since she values ​​you so much, why don't you leave with her?"

"She said at the time that if I was willing and she was doing well there, she could take me over. But at the time I just thought it was probably a struggle among their upper echelons and it didn't really have much impact on me. Of course, I didn't refuse directly, just like she didn't say she wanted to take me away right away."

The adult world is not black and white, and Jiang Baige could fully understand what she said.

But things did not develop as Lin Xingran expected.

After Dugu He left, she was quickly transferred to another department and never had the opportunity to work on her favorite topics.

Even the topics she reported would be forcibly assigned to that man.

No matter how hard she fought, it was useless - just like Dugu He said, if the leader intended to make her a stepping stone for others to get promoted, then no matter how she resisted, it would be useless.

So she changed her mind.

She observed how the man tried to curry favor with his boss and wanted to "copy" his success, but soon gave up.

"His idea was not to please the boss and then write the book he wanted to write, but to manage upward and please the boss - that was really like working like a slave. He picked up and dropped off the boss's children, and even went to cram school on weekends. If the boss had a headache or fever, he would get up in the middle of the night to deliver medicine..."

Lin Xingran brought the topic back to the topic: "He flatters the leaders just to avoid having to produce books. If I have a good topic, he grabs it. After grabbing it, he assigns it to the editors and interns below, and then asks the marketing department to spend the most effort to promote it. Anyway, the leaders will approve the funding... Some time ago, he was promoted to deputy director."

At this point, Lin Xingran gritted his teeth and said, "Although we both started working in the company as interns, he came later than me. Now he makes me look like his control group. Every time someone mentions that we are alumni, I... Oh, I won't say anymore."

Later, Lin Xingran seemed not to want to talk about these unpleasant things anymore, and the topic ended there.

But her last words made Jiang Baige in this life connect "that man" from the previous life and Meng Ping in this life together.

Jiang Baige certainly wouldn't let Lin Xingran make the same mistake again.

Because at the end of that conversation, although Lin Xingran said that she would continue to work hard to explore new areas, Jiang Baige never saw any new books edited by her on the market again...

Jiang Baige cleared her throat and asked, "Xingran, I know you like this job, but Meng Ping's existence is like... like a time bomb. After all, this is not the first time he has ruined your business..."

Wen Mian also chimed in, saying that there are so many publishing houses in the world, and this one is not the only one that can do it.

But Lin Xingran just remained silent, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, she looked at Jiang Baige: "Baige, do you remember? You asked me - what kind of female stories you wanted? You also said that you would write more in the future and let me publish them for you..."
