Ex-boyfriend is writing to me again

Chapter 12

"Mr. An, the ending of "Left Knife" needs to be changed a little bit."

Mu Tong sent Qiu Lan's confession to Jiang Anqing, while sitting at the desk and staring at the phone with his chin resting, nervously waiting for Jiang Anqing's reply from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Anqing's new work, the suspenseful love story "Left Knife", has undergone its first revision and perfection in the past few days, but the ending he chose did not pass the publication review, and was finally beaten back by Qiu Lan.

Mu Tong waited and waited at the workstation but did not receive a reply from Jiang Anqing, as if this was expected, she carefully sent another message while pinching her phone.

Cold Water-Editor-Mu Tong: [Teacher An, the ending can actually be a little gentler... For example, Xiao Zuo actually faked his death, and finally hid with Chu Mingyue in a peaceful village and stayed together for the rest of his life. What do you think of something like this? What about? 】

The long speech was followed by a pitiful emoji.

"Left Knife" tells the story of a young assassin who chooses to rebel against the rich and powerful in Muchu City at that time for the girl he loves, even at the expense of being an enemy of the world.He assassinated countless tyrannical princes with a black scarf covering his face, but in the end he still could not escape the power of power, and was crucified alive in front of his beloved girl. He commemorated his love and his fate-based resistance with a tragic death.

Jiang Anqing is well-known for his seriousness and stubbornness in his works, and the stubbornness of a writer is also on the surface. If it weren't for the stalemate with Nancheng Publishing House, which he had been cooperating with, Jiang Anqing's new work would be published this time. Can't fall on 'cold water'.

So Mu Tong or Qiu Lan don't want to change any of the original plot unless it is absolutely necessary, but the ending this time is really different from the past. A work that fails to pass the review means that nothing is useless, which means that you cannot reach the public and readers. The front means zero.Only then did Qiu Lan make a special phone call to remind Mu Tong.

Mu Tong waited for a long time but did not get a reply from Jiang Anqing. He sighed and stood up, picked up a cup and walked into the tea room.When she was stretching, a person walked in behind her.

The woman wore bright lipstick and had curly hair. Ye Min smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Our energetic Xiaotong also started to sigh? Huh?"

Mu Tong took the coffee and shouted in a low mood: "Sister Ye."

Ye Min held the hot water cup and turned it around, leaning against the counter: "Is it related to the writer you are in charge of?"

Mu Tong pouted and nodded: "It's Teacher An. The work needs to be changed. I don't know how to communicate with him, and he hasn't responded to my messages."

Ye Min's eyes widened slightly in surprise: "Your team assigned you to take charge of Jiang Anqing?"

Jiang Anqing is one of the hottest young writers in recent years. To be able to work as his editor is an opportunity that many people want to get. Why did Qiu Lan give this sweet pastry to Mu Tong, who has not been in the publishing industry for long? Newcomer?

Ye Min and Qiu Lan are the team leaders of different teams, and they often visit the office, so Mu Tong is still relatively close to her.Mu Tong scratched his head in embarrassment and replied truthfully: "It's because when Mr. An came to our publishing house for the first time, everyone called him Mr. Jiang, but I suddenly called Mr. An out of my mind. I made a fool of myself, and felt very ashamed..."

"But Teacher An comforted me and said a few words to me. What I didn't expect was that shortly after he left, I received a notice from Editor-in-Chief Qiu and became Teacher An's proofreading editor!" Mu Tong was talking. A smile appeared on his face: "That was really my super lucky day."

Ye Min said meaningfully, and then smiled slightly: "Sure enough, he is still so willful."

Mu Tong was taken aback for a moment, and then he continued to read: "Sister Ye, do you think Teacher An is willful?"

This sentence was completely beyond Mu Tong's expectation. In her heart, Jiang Anqing has always been a gentle and cold and unpredictable image. All difficult things will become extremely simple under his hands. Jiang Anqing has been working with her for the past few months. Li not only taught her many skills, but also gave this rookie who is new to the publishing industry a great sense of security.

So now it happened that Ye Min used a few words to describe Jiang Anqing in a few words, and Mu Tong was somewhat overwhelmed.

Ye Min smiled mysteriously, raised his index finger slightly around his mouth, and said in a low voice as if he wanted to whisper to Mu Tong: "Although you have been in this business for a short time, you must know Nancheng Publishing House, right?"

Mu Tong took a sip of the coffee in his hand and nodded quickly: "Of course I know, Mr. An's Alley Trilogy was published by Nancheng Publishing House." She went to the interview with the mood of a small fan, but there is no doubt Was brushed down.

Ye Min raised his eyebrows: "Jiang Anqing and Nancheng Publishing have always cooperated very well, but he suddenly chose our 'Cold Water' for this year's transitional new work. You must have heard some rumors from other people."

Mu Tong set up the alarm line: "Sister Ye! I firmly refuse to gossip about Teacher An! I will not go inquire into Teacher An's private life!"

Hearing her straightforward words, Ye Min couldn't help laughing: "Look, it scares you. This is not gossip, it's the truth. It's just telling you to prepare yourself mentally."

The moment Mu Tong hesitated, Ye Min had already opened his mouth to continue: "Jiang Anqing's state fell to the bottom after the end of the "The End of the Lane" series. In fact, I don't know his specific situation at that time. I can't write anything."

Can't write anything?Mu Tong tightly squeezed the cup in his hand, and his heart suddenly lifted.

"But it's all in the past. Didn't Jiang Anqing write it out again?" Ye Min said with a trace of rejoicing in her tone, she gently lowered her head and looked at the floor: "But who could let go of the cruel words at that time, Jiang Anqing would definitely Can you continue to write? No one..." Ye Min shook his head.

"It happened that Jiang Anqing went on a trip at that time, so he wrote a few travel notes." Ye Min said with a smile, "It's the ones from yesterday's signing."

Mu Tong suddenly felt a slap in the face: "So Teacher An directly took the opportunity to cooperate with the 'Pursuing' magazine?"

Ye Min shook his head and denied: "It's not that easy. Although 'Pursuit' has high commercial value, it is not a big name in the publishing industry. It also happens that Jiang Anqing wrote travel notes, so Li Xiaoshan was able to let him publish it. On 'The Pursuit'."

"The main reason why he and Nancheng collapsed is because the publishing house in Nancheng asked Jiang Anqing to change his works." Ye Min had a bit of disgust hidden in his eyes: "And it's a big change."

Mu Tong's heart tightened, Sister Ye was reminding herself!

Ye Min didn't care about Mu Tong's expression, and said to himself: "At that time, although Jiang Anqing wrote a series of trilogy, but he hadn't won any awards, Nancheng regarded him as a soft persimmon, and even touched him. Jiang Anqing's Ni Lin still doesn't know it."

"You also know that Jiang Anqing usually doesn't like to talk or socialize. It seems that the situation has become a little more serious over the years, so he didn't tell anyone about being nominated for the Silverstone Award at that time. No one knew."

Ye Min raised her head again at this moment, her red nails brushed through her curly hair, her beautiful face carried a smile that couldn't be concealed: "The next thing is that Jiang Anqing won the award of the most potential author of 'Silver Stone'." On the afternoon of the trophy, I informed Nancheng that he refused to cooperate with them in his next work."

Mu Tong was stunned in the tea room. She didn't know how to react when she heard these things for the first time, so she could only instinctively said: "This, this is too handsome..."

Ye Min nodded: "Of course, he is Jiang Anqing."

After Mu Tong digested all this, he realized something, and said, "Sister Ye, do you know Teacher An?" She is not a fool, she could hear Ye Min's admiration and familiarity with Jiang Anqing both inside and out.

Ye Min smiled and put his index finger to his mouth: "Shh, secret."

-

A'hua was playing by herself by jumping up and down on the cat climbing frame. There was only a slight gap in the door of the study, and A'hua, who usually likes to slip in, obediently didn't bother his master today.

Jiang Anqing was sitting in front of the desk with her mobile phone in her hands, her expression was unclear, her slender and pale neck was looming on the collar, and she saw a large message from Mu Tong dangling on the brightly lit phone screen.

He casually turned the phone upside down on the table and stopped looking at it, expressing Jiang Anqing's displeasure arrogantly with his tensed jawline.

On the computer screen glowing with blue light was the ending of the original version of "Zuo Dao" written by Jiang Anqing: Zuo Dao was crucified in front of Chu Mingyue, and the blood stained Mu Chu City red.

Zuo Dao is a cold-hearted person. He spent half his life lurking in the dark night with the moon as his companion. The moon is his last trace of humanity and tenderness. On the night he was crucified, what Zuo Dao saw was the moon covered by dark clouds. He no longer had any hope of reaching his moon.

But Miss Chu can, Zuo Dao can't reach the moon by himself, so he hopes that Miss Chu still has a chance to reach the moon.He left to Chu Mingyue what he thought was the best and most perfect thing, and died alone.

There was no obvious emotional fluctuation in Jiang Anqing's quiet eyes, protecting his lover and maintaining his dignity, this is the best ending he can give Zuo Dao, Jiang Anqing certainly thinks so.

"Crack..." Jiang Anqing bit amitriptyline in his mouth, which slightly relieved his uncontrollable irritability.

"Meow~" Ah Hua obviously also noticed that Jiang Anqing's mood was not right today, it walked to the door of the study and sat there crying softly, trying to make Jiang Anqing feel better.

Jiang Anqing froze for a moment when he heard Ah Hua's voice, he walked over and opened the door, Ah Hua skillfully jumped into Jiang Anqing's arms as he had done countless times before, and nestled up, flicking his tail comfortably.

Jiang Anqing stroked A'hua's soft hair, a rare smile appeared in his eyes, but the irritability he had erupted again for a long time did not seem to completely dissipate, Jiang Anqing closed his eyes and sighed.

The phone on the desk rang, and another message came in.

Jiang Anqing hugged A'hua and walked over to pick up the phone. It was a voice from Mu Tong, rubbing A'hua's head Jiang Anqing hesitated for a while, and finally clicked on the voice.

Different from Jiang Anqing's evasive words, Mu Tong just asked when the two of Sanqing's performances will meet tonight, and the little girl's excitement can be heard from her voice.

Jiang Anqing breathed a sigh of relief, and rarely turned on the voice to send, "Come and pick me up later."

With a ding dong, Mu Tong sent a song by Sanqing.

dumb.

Jiang Anqing had only heard this song a few times, but the lyrics were already familiar to her.

He clicked on the song, and Shen Shucheng's deep voice came out all of a sudden. What Mu Tong sent was still the live version, so Shen Shucheng said a few words at the beginning, and the scene was a bit noisy.

"Thank you everyone for coming to our performance today, and the next song is dumb, and I give it to you."

Jiang Anqing froze while pinching the phone, and slowed down the movement of biting the pills in her mouth. Poor Ah Hua was thrown out of the study after a long while.

It fell lightly on the floor. A'hua's eyes were full of bewilderment, as if she didn't know why she fell out of favor all of a sudden. "Meow~" Isn't it a little cutie to appease the owner?

Jiang Anqing spat out the pills in his mouth, he listened carefully to the voice belonging to Shen Shucheng in his ear, the drum in the rhythm seemed to be beating on his heartbeat.

After listening to the whole song, Jiang Anqing sat on the ground in silence for a while.

Not long after, Mu Tong, who was wearing a thin coat in the office, received a text message just before getting off work to pick up Jiang Anqing to watch the show together.

Teacher An: [I will change the ending. 】

Mu Tong was taken aback for a moment, and then shouted out in the office, "Teacher An actually agreed to change the ending!!"

The colleagues around her couldn't help but be surprised, that's Jiang Anqing, how could it be so simple and easy to change the plot? !

Holding the phone in his hand, Mu Tong let out a heavy breath, tears welled up in his eyes because of surprise, and the others congratulated in a low voice.

-

People have some habits or principles that they stick to. They take this as the bottom line and will not be broken by exceptions and privileges, just like a knight holding a spear outside the city gate, guarding the narrow utopia in his heart.

Jiang Anqing raised his hand and threw the white medicine bottle into the depths of the desk cabinet expressionlessly.

But fierce and sharp knights may also encounter some accidents, such as the accident that someone who came by gently put a bunch of flowers on the spear.

Shen Shucheng is Jiang Anqing's privilege and exception, the only one.

Jiang Anqing opened all the city gates for him without any scruples, and even welcomed him to live in.

He put on a slim long gown, and stood in front of the mirror for a long time like a young man on an appointment for the first time. He didn't recover until Ah Hua, who was wandering around Jiang Anqing's feet, couldn't help but walk away.

It just so happened that Mu Tong called and asked him to go downstairs.

Ah Hua meowed behind her, meaning she was asking him what he was doing.

Jiang Anqing squatted down and rubbed the kitten's belly while laughing. He went to see the exclusive exception who made him abandon the bottom line and principles.
