Crazy host sweet temptation, cold licking the main god and acting coquettish

Zou Yanzhi curled his lips, but finally obediently took out another version of the manuscript. While Si Mo was reading it, he went to the kitchen to try to make breakfast.

For some reason, Zou Yanzhi found that he had a talent for cooking. He used to hire a nanny because he thought it was troublesome to live alone. The desire for food was not worth mentioning to him. Even when he had stomach problems, he never went to the hospital.

But now it’s different, he is no longer alone. It was not until then that Zou Yanzhi discovered that his lovely partner would smile sincerely because of a sumptuous dinner and a piece of cake, and happiness is contagious.

Watching the single thing at home become doubled little by little, at the same time, Zou Yanzhi's long-desolate heart was also filled.

He turned his head and stared at the round head next to the sofa for a while, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

—

Obviously, Zou Yanzhi's level is still very good when he is working normally. Although the content of this first draft is not much, it is not difficult to see that the subject matter is the micro-horror suspense that he is good at: the story takes place in a prosperous village in Denmark, where a famous and mysterious painter dies mysteriously.

The police found his last painting in his studio, which showed a strange black shadow. It looked like a human, with a clear head and upper limbs, but it also looked like an object, with no facial features and a blurry image below the waist.

The only clear part is the two names tattooed on his arms. It is said that one is his lover in the previous life, and the other is the murderer who killed him.

……

The manuscript ends here. This is a completely different story from the last draft that Zou Yanzhi provided to Mu Yun.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zou Yanzhi probably doesn't intend to fill the careless pit he made last time.

Although this behavior was somewhat irresponsible, it was indeed Mu Yun who acted first and reported later, and Zou Yanzhi was willing to compensate for all expenses, with the exception of some loss of reputation.

Thinking of this, Si Mo felt much more at ease. His cell phone rang, and he picked it up. Soon, Yan Wenzhong's experienced voice came from the other end of the line:

"Editor-in-Chief, how are you doing recently? I haven't seen you in the company for a long time. To be honest, I miss you a little bit."

"How's it going? Has your great writer Zou written anything recently?"

On the other end of the phone, Lao Yan still had his shiny bald hair, and was holding a cup of hot water soaked with wolfberries in one hand and blowing away the foam.

Ever since the last time the two of them parted on bad terms, the editor-in-charge had threatened that he would only be responsible for Zou Yanzhi, and would resign if he failed to submit the manuscript on time.

Yan Wenzhong only knew that Si Mo had invested heavily in Zou Yanzhi. He heard that he had even rented a house near the great writer's house so that he could be closer to him and urge him to update his works.

But he didn't believe that Si Mo could succeed. There were precedents before. What was the result? Mu Yun had changed so many editors several times, but they were rejected by Zou Yanzhi one by one.

Yan Wenzhong's words "your family" were full of sarcasm.

"In fact, I wanted to keep you when you left last time, Editor-in-Chief Si, why do you have to do this? Mu Yun has always recognized your ability to lead authors. There is really no need to give up so many potential writers just because of Zou Yanzhi."

"Besides, where can you go after you leave?"

Si Mo sneered and said, "Then don't bother with that, Chief Editor. You might as well spend more time managing the editorial department under you."

"..." Yan Wenzhong clenched his fists, his face looked extremely ugly. He was silent for a while before continuing: "Editor, I still hope you can reconsider it anyway. Don't hang yourself on a tree."

"I don't want to lose such a capable subordinate like you. Let's take a step back."

"I'll assign another author to you. You can take good care of him. He is the dark horse leader recently. His future is even brighter than Zou Yanzhi's back then."

Si Mo's first reaction was, which unlucky author has no one willing to take over and is being packaged for him as a trouble? How could Old Yan, who is so cunning, possibly -

Just as I was about to refuse, I suddenly heard him say:

"Li Yan, you are familiar with this name, right? He is a very popular figure in the online literary world right now."

"Him?" Hearing this name, Si Mo subconsciously remembered the information card Benben gave him. This person is not a stranger: "Didn't he sign a five-year contract in Shanyu? Why did he come to Muyun?"

Li Yan released his first famous work on a certain website three years ago. Fortunately, he became famous without any praise and won the Newcomer Award in the same year. He created a huge splash in the suspense genre, which had not seen any masterpieces for a long time.

It's no wonder that Yan Wenzhong is so optimistic about him and even compares him with Zou Yanzhi. The types of things they are good at are not much different. Although Zou Yanzhi's former glory is difficult to surpass, Li Yanzhi's victory lies in the proportionality between quality and quantity. He has been publishing books steadily in recent years.

Shanyu Literary Society and Mu Yun are in a tit-for-tat relationship. Because they both have great authors as bargaining chips, the competition has been very fierce, especially in the past two years.

The trump cards in Mu Yun's hand are Zou Yanzhi and another writer named Song who is a member of the Writers Association. In the past two years, the trend of Mingzhu being covered in dust has become more and more serious.

As for Shanyu, it has become famous recently because it signed Li Yan and Bai Yu.

Si Mo couldn't help but narrow his eyes. In a sense, he and this Mr. Li were colleagues?

"This... don't worry about it. In a word, this author is given to you, you must take good care of him and try to make him the second great god in his glory days. This way you can keep your job! This is an opportunity Mu Yun gave you specially! Seize it well."

Feeling guilty, Yan Wenzhong didn't know what he said at the end and quickly hung up the phone.

If Si Mo asked further, he would not admit that it was Mu Yun who spent a huge amount of money to poach Li Yan.

This kind of behavior of tripping up the rival company and poaching employees is not honorable in any way.

Digging deep into an author's golden period is often crucial. Mu Yun was willing to pay Li Yan's breach of contract fee to get him here, which means he is sure that his value is much more precious than this money. He will definitely earn it back for them in the future.

Si Mo couldn't guess what Yan Wenzhong was thinking, and he didn't bother to guess. Giving Li Yan to him, was it really because he couldn't bear to part with his abilities and didn't want to see him leave like this? No one would believe that.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Zou Yanzhi finished making breakfast. He handed the freshly squeezed soy milk to Si Mo and asked casually, "Who called just now? Is that your editor-in-chief?"

Si Mo hummed and took a bite of the sandwich.

"Who is 'he'? You sound surprised."

Si Mo sorted out Lao Yan's words again and told Zou Yanzhi in a concise manner.

Unexpectedly, when he heard Li Yan's name, his movements paused and were noticed by Si Mo.

"...Do you know each other?"
