Chapter 14 Publish Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection!

She wore a white apron and simply tied her hair behind her head with a hairband. She was not as strong as a publishing house at all. She was only the virtuous person who despised her good mother. Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang still had the potential to become a virtuous wife and mother.

"Xiaochen just needs to buy the meal after a while." It was also said that the food made by Aunt Wang was much better than that of Sister Zhao, and she had a happy meal.

"Auntie, Zhao Dandan, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, is the mother of a classmate of mine. When she went to her house yesterday, she said that Yangcheng Daily was going to open a novel section, so she asked me for an article. I happened to have written a new book recently, so I wanted to try it. Auntie, what do you think?"

"What novel is suitable for publishing?" Wang Ni.

"I have brought the manuscript too, please take a look here." Su Shichen handed the manuscript of "The Red-HeadedLeague" to Wang Ni.

The article "TheRed-HeadedLeague" was translated as "Red-Hair Club" in China.

One of the fifty-six short stories of "The Sherlock Holmes Detectives".

"Missue novel?"

"Red Hair Club" is not long and has only more than 21,000 words, so it was quickly finished according to the speed of Wang Ni's review.

"In recent years, due to the release of some detective movies and TV series, mystery novels have become popular. Many authors have picked up pens to create their own mystery novels. However, because the logic and thinking required by mystery novels have caused countless newcomers to fail, the category of mystery novels is also called the grave of mystery novels. At least one hundred mystery novels submitted to our publishing house may not necessarily publish one."

"There is even more so in the mystery short story. Due to the length, it must be described in extremely concise text. The most important thing is to lay the groundwork. Therefore, it is very difficult to write a short mystery novel well. However, Xiaochen, your mystery novel is very well written. It describes the case in the tone of the first person Watson. This writing method is very novel. In the end, the reasoning of Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of the case, is also very reasonable. In general, this is a very good mystery novel." Wang Ni's comments are very professional.

"Xiaochen, you are planning to write a series. Is the series that Sherlock Holmes solved the case? " Sure enough, he deserves to be the editor-in-chief, and he is right.

"I just imagine what my aunt said. I plan to write a Sherlock Holmes case collection. I have written two short stories and one novella. By the way, can I publish the short stories on Yangcheng Daily?" Wang Ni pondered for a moment, "It's enough. Although the protagonist and background of the story are both in the UK, there will be some sense of substitution, but the quality of the excellent works can completely make up for this loophole."

Su Shichen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Ni's words. Although he thought so in his heart, he was no different from listening to Wang Ni's professional editor-in-chief.

"If Xiaochen can maintain this level in your next articles, this collection of mystery novels can definitely become a bestseller, and its results will definitely be above "The Legend of Wukong", and it can even become your representative work." Wang Ni.

"Hello, I will give the manuscript to the newspaper tomorrow."

"Xiaochen, tomorrow you will talk about this matter with the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily?"

"Yes" Wang Ni pinched her chin with her fingers, fell into deep thought and didn't know what she was thinking. He didn't dare to disturb her and could only stay quietly.

"Xiaochen, my aunt will go with you tomorrow to discuss the appointment with you."

"Ah? Oh"

Mystery novels are different from other novels. Each case is independent, and it is not impossible to publish a book if published in a newspaper. In addition, Yangcheng Daily's sales in Yangcheng are not low, which will have a good reputation for this new book. After reaching a certain level, the short stories published in the newspaper will be collected and published. This is the best. Wang Ni was afraid that Su Shichen would suffer a loss and sold the copyright to the newspaper, so she asked to go together.

On Saturday, he stayed at home and typing crazy, and even wrote 30,000 words in one day. Of course, this is nothing compared to those great gods, but for Su Shichen, it has to be a great miracle.

The next Sunday was the day when I made an appointment with Zhao Dandan to read the manuscript. Su Shichen took Wang Ni's car and came to Tang Lingyu's home together.

"Chenchen is finally here, Sister Zhao has been waiting for a long time." Zhao Dandan turned his eyes to Wang Ni, "Who is this?"

"Wang Ni, deputy editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, is responsible for the negotiation of Xiaochen's new book." After a pause, she continued, "Xiaochen's new book this time is a mystery novel, and she has created several short stories and several middle-class articles. The number of words is more than 200,000 words, which is even higher than the total number of words in "The Legend of Wukong". Therefore, in order to show our publishing house's attention to Xiaochen, the negotiation work for this new book is only represented by me."

Su Shichen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but feel cold sweat. He was worthy of being the editor-in-chief of the publishing house and told lies without blinking. He also had a few short stories, a few middle-class stories, and more than 200,000 words. He felt that Yalishan was a big one.

"Since Ms. Wang Ni, you are the editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, you naturally know that mystery novels are called the grave of new writers. Although Chenchen's first book, "The Legend of Wukong", has achieved good results, there is no common point between "The Legend of Wukong" and mystery novels."

Those who can become editor-in-chief are not simple characters. Wang Ni's words just now actually mean something. A writer that Su Shichen Publishing House values ​​very much. Don't want to poach people, and don't want to pay a price to allow his new work to be serialized in newspapers and magazines.

The meaning in Zhao Dandan's words is also very obvious. Mystery novels are a very difficult subject. Although Su Shichen's first novel "The Legend of Wukong" sold well, he was still a newcomer after all. Moreover, the difference between "The Legend of Wukong" and mystery novels is 100,000 miles apart, so it may not be sold well.

"You can read the quality of Xiaochen's novels by editor Zhao yourself. This is one of the short stories."

The review of "Red Hair Club" was completed in a few minutes. It is undeniable that the quality of this novel is indeed very good. When Zhao Dandan heard that Su Shichen's new book was a mystery novel, he felt a little resistant and believed that Su Shichen was a little proud of his success.

However, it seems that this mature narrative method and meticulous logic all show that the mystery novel written by Su Shichen is a fine product, and is even more exciting than the mystery novel that Fang Mi, a top-notch writer who came to "Zhao Tanbao" for a lot of money, is being serialized. It has to be said that Su Shichen is indeed a truly talented young writer.

The general content of "Red-Hair Society": [In the fall of 1890, Dr. Watson visited Sherlock Holmes, and learned about the strange incident encountered by Jebez Wilson, a pawnshop merchant with a red hair.

Two months ago, Jebetz's pawn shop guy Vincent Spolding told him about the Redheads. According to Vincent, the Redheads were set up according to the will of a redhead millionaire in the United States, using the interest on the estate to give the redheaded man a comfortable job.

So as long as you are selected, you can only do very little work, with a salary of £4 a week. However, two months later, I suddenly learned that Red Hair would go bankrupt, so I asked Holmes for help.

Sherlock Holmes immediately suspected that the man who only took the old new was a conspiracy. After reasoning and verification, with the bank leader near the pawnshop and the Scotland Yard police officer Jones, he was waiting late at night in the underground vault in the bank. When Vincent (actually a habitual criminal John Clay) appeared from the pawnshop to the bank tunnel, he grabbed him and his red-haired accomplice, the person in charge of the Red Hair Society.

The purpose of the Holmes Reasoning Redheads was to let the boss leave the store for a few hours so as to dig a tunnel leading to the bank's basement. In the morning, the investigation with Watson supported this reasoning, so he caught the criminal.]

The story is novel, and the mystery novel is just a murder case, and the ending is clever.

"Ms. Zhao Dandan, since you are the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, you have a good vision. I believe Xiaochen has a certain understanding of the insights and level of mystery novels." Wang Ni.

"Yoyo, Chenchen didn't expect that you were so good at writing mystery novels, why didn't you tell Sister Zhao?" Zhao Dandan.

Next, Wang Ni, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, had a heated discussion with Wang Ni, editor-in-chief of Deyun Publishing House, and the main content of the discussion was the price issue of his new work "Shelmes Detectives" serialized on Yangcheng Daily.

Su Shichen felt a little glad, but fortunately, he would have been eaten by Zhao Dandan if he brought Wang Ni.

Needless to say, Wang Ni, editor-in-chief of Bingshan is very strong both in work and in life, but Zhao Dandan is not at all inferior. Don’t think that Zhao Dandan is really a very cute and cute young woman. People who can be deputy editors in first-class newspapers like Yangcheng Daily are definitely not simple characters.

When I was having a meal, I was even more cute than a loli, but now I look like a strong woman. As expected, women are fickle.

I don’t know how long it took to discuss, but Zhao Dandan and Wang Ni stood up and shook hands, which meant that the negotiation was completed.

"Chenchen, do you want to have a meal at Sister Zhao's house to celebrate the happy cooperation of us?" Zhao Dandan took Su Shichen's hand affectionately.

When he was having a meal, he couldn't help but shivered just by thinking about it. Just as he wanted to refuse, Wang Ni spoke first.

She said, "Thank you for your kindness in Editor-in-Chief Zhao, but today is my birthday. Xiaochen agreed to go to my house for a birthday, so I'm sorry."

Aunt Wang’s birthday? Today is Aunt Wang’s birthday? And when did you agree?

Su Shichen looked at Wang Ni with confusion, but was ignored by Wang Ni.

"Today turned out to be Editor-in-Chief Wang's birthday, happy birthday."

"Chenchen, next time I go to Sister Zhao's house and get you French Western food." Zhao Dandan also blinked at Su Shichen.

OK! After the negotiations, it turned into a loli young woman.

"Today is my aunt's birthday. Why didn't I tell me earlier? I haven't prepared a gift yet?"

"No, Auntie remembers it wrongly, today is not my birthday."

Remember wrong? What's the situation?

Aunt Wang did this so completely because he didn't want him to be a guest at Tang Lingyu's house, but why didn't he want to? Does Aunt Wang have a grudge with Sister Zhao? It shouldn't be the first time they met today. Could it be that Sister Zhao called me Chenchen and Aunt Wang seemed very intimate?

Su Shichen was also shocked by his whimsical idea.

How could it be? Although he was determined, his body was only fourteen years old. Aunt Wang also said that she was as old as her daughter, so how could she be jealous of him?

"Xiaochen"

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Editor Zhao is very smart. It is best not to contact us except for business. If you have any business, tell me, and I will accompany you." It is best not to contact us except for business. Could it be that Aunt Wang is really jealous?

At 2:00 p.m., he came to Bada Shanren Training Institution on time for the first time. He was in the painting training, but painting was quite difficult. In the first class for more than three hours, he only learned how to write and a little bit of sketching knowledge. There was still a big gap between being able to draw comics by himself, but this was already a good start.

The next day, Monday.

On Monday's flag-raising ceremony, Experimental Junior High School has an interesting habit. Generally speaking, the school's opening ceremony is held on the day of the school start, but Experimental Junior High School is not like this. The opening ceremony of each semester is held together with the flag-raising ceremony on the first Monday of the semester. It is said that the purpose of this is to let students go to school for a few days first, and then hold the opening ceremony better.

Experimental Junior High School is also one of the best junior high schools in Yangcheng. Therefore, every opening ceremony, officials from the Education Bureau will be invited, but this time it is Feng Xilan, the deputy director of the Education Bureau, who was invited.

"Teachers and classmates, as the principals of Experimental Junior High School, are very happy to stand on this stage again to give speeches to everyone. In the past year, our Experimental Junior High School has ranked among the top three in Yangcheng. This grade is very good. There are so many excellent junior high schools in Yangcheng, but we can rank among the top three..."
