Chenghai City.

A three-story office building with the sign of the editorial department of the Final Novel Network. As the largest original novel website in China, there are nearly 100 people in the entire editorial department.

Although I just arrived at work, the editors in the office had already started a busy day of work.

Li Yizhi is a college student who graduated last year. After graduation, he had his dreams and hobbies for online novels and successfully applied for the editor-in-chief of the Final Novel Network.

His job is to sign a contract every day from countless manuscripts like the sea, select novels that meet the market needs of readers and can be sold well.

As a newcomer who has just arrived for a while, Li Yizhi is under a lot of pressure.

The team leader told him a long time ago that as a newcomer, he usually does not have too high assessment pressure in the first year of his job, but if he fails to dig out a hot book in the next year, it may affect his leader's evaluation of him.

Although it will not be dismissed, it is likely that the subsequent promotion and salary increase will have a serious impact.

Li Yizhi was very nervous because in the past year, he also signed a lot of books, including some books with some achievements, but he was always missing a book that could really sell.

There is not much time left for him.

So Li Yizhi is now working very seriously and is searching in the vast library more carefully and harder, but he is not the only editor.

Many good books have actually been signed away by his colleagues, and the only ones left for him as a newcomer to be screened were the remaining leftovers that had been searched by others once.

Li Yizhi still did not give up and continued to search in these remaining books.

In fact, during this period, he has found several books that he thinks have some potential. As a newcomer, he does not have the right to sign a contract directly. He needs to send the books he wants to sign a contract to his team leader and let the team leader review it again.

Today is the third time that he has submitted the list of books he needs to sign. He is waiting for a reply nervously. Before that, he has been rejected several times in a row.

The main reason is that he did not sign any high-quality books last year, which caused the team leader's evaluation of him to decline, which in turn affected the review success rate of new book signing, which was simply a vicious cycle.

About an hour passed.

The team leader's QQ avatar finally jumped, and Li Yizhi couldn't wait to open it.

Team Leader: I have read roughly the five books you mentioned, but it still doesn’t work.

A word made Li Yizhi's heart sink to the bottom. He was a little unwilling to give up and quickly typed on the keyboard and replied: "[Chilling.jpg] Team leader, can't you sign a single one?"

Team leader: Oh, Xiao Li, I know that you work hard and serious, but the books you choose are contrary to the mainstream best-selling books on our website, and these books have no contract value.

Li Yizhi: Yes, I admit that it does not match the mainstream type of the website, but I think these books are still valuable. The value of these books can only be gradually revealed after the number of words gradually increases and the world view structure is more perfect.

Team Leader: Are you questioning my vision?

Li Yizhi: No, no, I just said my own point of view. It may be wrong. Team leader, please give me some advice.

Team Leader: Forget it, there are five books in total. I’ll sign one for you. Which one do you think is more suitable.

Although it is far from his goal, the team leader lets him relax and still makes Li Yizhi feel like he is a treasure. After thinking for a moment, he typed again: "Hell Girl: I Can Sneak into a Dream", this one is it.

Team leader:...

Li Yizhi: Uh, what's wrong?

Team Leader: Among these books, this one is the one I am the one who starts with a slow pace and a bit immature text. I guess I am a novice. And after reading the beginning, it is easy to fall into a cycle of routines.

Li Yizhi: Yes, I agree with your statement, the group leader, I have actually paid attention to this book since last week. Although it may be a bit unsatisfactory for the time being, I think the book has the greatest potential, which may test the author's ability a bit. In short, what I want to bet on is the future.

Team leader: OK, then it depends on you. I will ask the legal department to send a contract invitation to the author later. Please pay attention to the author.

Li Yizhi: Thank you very much, team leader!

...

A whole month after Chirulian's novel was released, she finally received an invitation to sign from the official website of the Final Novel.

"Sign up?" Chirulian was a little stunned.

Tang Yi was also quite surprised. He had been publishing books for a month and had written a 100,000-word manuscript. He had already had no hope of signing the contract.

Objectively speaking, Tang Yi can understand that he roughly swept the best-selling novels of this era and is indeed incompatible with the type of the book Chirulian.

Unexpectedly, the invitation to sign the contract was late.

Because he was not expected to sign the contract, Tang Yi would spend more than half a day to explain to Chirulian what the signing was.

Tang Yi said a lot, and the girl only noticed the most critical part: "That is, you can really make money after signing the contract, right?"

"Uh, I can't say that. If the novel has poor grades and I can't make much money, I have to buy it and pay it, and I will subscribe and reward your book."

"Well, these readers are so good, they will definitely subscribe." Chirulian's eyes shone with a slightly anticipated light.

During this period, more people read books and commented.

Of course, there were also trolls, which were relatively fewer, and they were all dealt with by the girl who deleted the post and banned the comments.

Humph, the girl is very skillful in operating now.

Tang Yi was actually not sure how much subscription this book can be, but he nodded: "That's right, Chirulian is so beautiful, everyone will definitely subscribe."

The girl was unhappy: "They didn't know that it was written by me, and I didn't write books based on my appearance!"

Tang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my Chirulian is a powerful author."

Because Tang Yi used real-name authentication, he naturally continued to do it for him when signing the contract.

"It doesn't matter. If there is a royalty fee to my card, I will save it for you first." Tang Yi patted his chest to pack the bill.

Because the bonuses earned during the selection competition are basically 50% off, Chirulian is relieved to Tang Yi when it comes to money.

"Actually, you have given me a lot of guidance. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have the courage to upload novels. Thank you, really!" Chirulian's eyes fluctuated, a little sincere.

Tang Yi rubbed his hands and was looking forward to it: "Then, how do we share the manuscript fee we obtained? How about 300 cents?"

The girl was excited: "Ah, I'll get 70! It's not good."

"Ahem, I mean, I'm seven and you three."
Chapter completed!
