"Editor-in-Chief Xiang, long time no see."
"President Ye, the last time we met was at the annual literary conference, right? You had just taken over Juvenile Writings at that time."
Seeing who was coming, Xiang Yuan raised his glass and clinked glasses with a smile.
Ye Qiuyu also sighed: "How can he compare to our editor-in-chief Xiang, who is young and handsome."
Both of them were saying something with hidden meanings, secretly stabbing.
"Story" was determined to make a long novel before, but it made many people in the industry sweat."
"There is no way, the times are changing, and we can't always rely on our old capital, we have to keep up with the changes."
Xiang Yuan thought of the long special issue with a huge increase in sales. He hesitated for a long time at the beginning.
But fortunately, the final result was very good.
"I read your serialized "The Silence of the Lambs" before. It is indeed a very good novel. I don't know where you dug such a newcomer from?"
Ye Qiuyu asked curiously, of course with some other thoughts.
Xiang Yuan shook his wine glass and said lightly, "It's just luck."
"In terms of vision, I'm still far behind you, President Ye. Speaking of the recent national essay competition, didn't you catch some good seedlings?"
"To be honest with Editor-in-Chief Xiang, this time, you really found one for me."
Ye Qiuyu squinted his eyes. It seemed that if he didn't come up with something good, he wouldn't be able to pry some information out of this old man.
"Oh, from your tone, you're not ordinary." Xiang Yuan also became interested and took the phone handed over by Ye Qiuyu.
There was a photo in it, and the handwriting looked a little sloppy.
"The last ivy leaf?" Xiang Yuan read it softly.
The name looked ordinary, like a middle school student's essay.
He continued to read, and the story was very short.
It tells the story of a young female painter suffering from pneumonia.
In despair, she counted the ivy leaves that kept falling on the opposite wall.
The female painter thought that the last leaf falling would also represent her own death.
But an impoverished old painter, after knowing her idea, sneered at it.
As time passed, the girl opened the window on time every day, but there was always a leaf.
Although it was withered and yellow, it stood for a whole winter.
After the girl recovered from her illness, her friend told him.
It was the old painter who climbed up the ladder in the cold winter wind and painted this last vine leaf on the wall.
This was also his last work, and the old painter slept forever in that winter...
The story is short and exquisite, with small twists and surprises, depicting the most sincere emotions in the depths of people's hearts.
The stories of several small characters cleverly capture the highlights of the characters' souls.
Whether it is character portrayal or the depth of intention, it is impeccable.
"According to the requirements of short stories, this is also a top-notch work."
Although the two are half competitors, Xiang Yuan has to agree that this manuscript is perfect.
What a pity, this guy found it first.
He looked at the author column on the side.
"Jiangcheng No. 4 Middle School, Jiang Shi..."
This name sounds a bit familiar...
Xiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
There were some contracts sent by the editor below.
He flipped out the contract of "Lamb" and found that the signature column had the same name written on it - Jiang Shi!
Is this the same person?
"President Ye, I didn't expect that we would have a collision this time." Xiang Yuan showed the name in his mobile phone.
Ye Qiuyu's smug smile did not last long before it froze on his face.
He asked in disbelief: "Is "Lamb" also the work of this student?"
The two looked at each other and saw deep shock in each other's eyes.
Then the smell of gunpowder gradually arose.
"President Ye, this person was first discovered by our Story, so we have to follow the principle of first come first served!"
"We certainly respect this student's own ideas, but Youth Text is definitely more suitable for young people like her!"
"Director He Gaoyang has agreed to cooperate with us to adapt The Lamb into a movie. What can you Youth Text bring out? And we have already prepared a nomination for her other work for the Youth Literature Award!"
"Isn't it just a nomination for a literature award? I just need to say a word!!"
...
The leaders of other publishing houses not far away looked at the two people who were about to fight and were a little confused.
"What are Editor-in-Chief Xiang and President Ye doing? Why is it so tense in a good exchange meeting?"
"Don't worry, they are old rivals. We just need to stay away from the confrontation."
Others pretended not to see it and said,Averted his eyes.
If they knew that these two industry giants had fought just because of a high school student who was busy going to school, they would probably be shocked.
…
But at this time, at the starting point of the vortex, Miss Jiang was holding her mobile phone and laughing foolishly.
The royalties for "Youth Words" and "Stories" were all in hand.
Her savings also successfully exceeded 100,000.
Finally, she could solve the money-saving task that had occupied the task bar for a long time.
And this money was finally no longer a string of numbers in the bank card that she could only look at but not spend.
The 5 attribute points awarded by the system also had to be planned well.
"Jiang Shi, come out and have breakfast quickly, you will be late for school soon."
"Okay!"
Although she became rich overnight, she still had to go to school...
Miss Jiang came to the classroom on time as usual.
Just after taking two steps, she found that there were many palm-sized boxes piled on her seat.
After opening it, she found that it was full of apples.
Some were well packaged and even had small greeting cards inside.
One of them was different. It was made of building blocks. No one knew who gave it to her.
Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment before he remembered that today seemed to be Christmas, and it was also the day when Ning Yuxi was going to release "The Lute Player".
However, this was too much!
She looked at the apples on the table and couldn't help but complained with a headache.
After counting, there were more than a dozen. Even if they were two a day, they would be enough for a week.
"Jiang Jiang, you are still the most popular, a big celebrity in No. 4 Middle School!"
Huang Qiqi teased with a smile behind her.
Mi Wanqing stretched out her hand and smiled secretly: "Jiang Jiang, there are also gifts from me in it. You didn't prepare any for us, did you?"
Uh, Jiang Shi scratched his head and took out an apple from the pile in front of him, "How about I share these with you?"
"No sincerity at all, woo woo." Mi Wanqing pretended to be aggrieved.
"Hiss, wait!" Jiang Shi ran out of the classroom.
Not long after, Jiang Shi came back with three bottles of apple juice in front of the three people's surprised eyes.
Huang Qiqi couldn't help laughing: "Jiang Jiang, your apples are very unique in shape!"
Jiang Shi replied confidently: "Apples are sent back and forth, and they may not be eaten. What a waste. Look at this apple juice, it tastes good and is convenient!"
He handed a bottle to each person.
Mi Wanqing looked at the apple juice in her hand and couldn't help laughing, but it tasted pretty good.
Bai Jingran next to her also took it with a smile.
Jiang Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead and was glad that he was resourceful.
