Chen Zhe likes people who are straightforward and speak straightforwardly without trampling around the bush, which can save each other a lot of time.

In fact, after learning about his identity, Chen Zhe guessed his intention - an editor-in-chief of an online novel platform came to him, which must be to sign a contract with the novel "Fighting the Universe".

After thinking about it, this book "Fighting the Universe" has been published on Haokan Novel Network for several days. It has been published for more than 30 chapters, almost more than 100,000 words, but it has not signed the contract for a long time, which means that the editor of Haokan Novel Network does not seem to be optimistic about this book.

In this way, choosing another platform seems to be a good way out.

However, he did not express his intention to change jobs too hasty, but said: "Sorry, I have published this book on the Haokan Novel Platform, and it is currently ranked first on the Haokan Novel Network's new book list. It can be seen that there are many readers who love reading this book here."

Editor-in-chief Zhu Yeqing immediately gave feedback, and four small words "Entering" were displayed on the chat software screen...

Soon his reply was sent:

"But as far as I know, it seems that Haokan Novel Network has not signed a contract with you yet? Your grades are obviously very good, but the editors there have not signed a contract with you. I seriously doubt whether they have the vision to appreciate your novel.

To be honest, the writing style of this book "Fighting the Universe" is very different from that of traditional novels. It can be said to be an innovation. Many people who have relatively conservative ideas and lack developmental vision cannot see the advantages of this novel.

If you publish this novel on a website that no one appreciates, aren’t you afraid that this masterpiece will be buried?”

Zhu Yeqing's words resonated strongly with Chen Zhe.

That's right, his novels have been published on Haokan Novel Network for a long time, but there has never been an editor to contact him. There is no doubt that this is enough to show that the editors of Haokan Novel Network do not recognize his works.

But Zhu Yeqing was different. He keenly realized the advantages of this book and took the initiative to explore Chen Zhe from outside the station.

At this time, Zhu Yeqing said again:

"I know that our Yuewen Novel Network's popularity and traffic are far less famous than Haokan Novel Network, but we have enough sincerity.

As long as you decide to take the "Fighting the Universe" that has not yet been signed to our novel website to publish, I promise you that I will give you the best recommendation position on the entire website, and the royalty share can also be improved!

What is the share ratio of Haokan Novel Network? It’s 55%? I’ll give you 37%! You get 70% and our website only get 30%! As long as you write, I will definitely satisfy you with the treatment!"

Seeing this, Chen Zhe was really moved by Zhu Yeqing's sincerity.

As the editor-in-chief of a website, Chen Zhe was able to discover talents with such respect and kindness and give such sincere treatment.

Since this is the case, Chen Zhe no longer bargained with Zhu Yeqing. The editor-in-chief gave this to this point with sincerity. If Chen Zhe uses any other mental methods, it would be a bit too unauthentic.

"Okay! Since that's the case, I'll go to Yuewen Novels website to publish this book "Fighting the World"!" Chen Zhe replied smoothly.

"That's great!" Editor-in-chief Zhu Yeqing excitedly sent several happy expressions, and then said, "When you finish sending, I will prepare for you to sign a contract immediately. After the contract is signed, I will start to arrange recommendations for you immediately!"

"That's thank you." Chen Zhe also responded politely.

The chat ends.

Chen Zhe opened the website of Yuewen Novel Network and published the written "Fighting the Universe" on Yuewen Novel Network.

Because the contract has not been signed on Haokan Novel Network, Chen Zhe can completely post the article to another novel website.

As for Haokan Novel Network, he naturally no longer updated it. Although there are still a large number of readers who vote for recommendations and leave messages to urge updates every day, the editor has never signed a contract, so this book cannot get recommendations and manuscripts. The author also has to live, so it is definitely impossible to serialize for free.

...

Three more days passed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Zhe's "Fighting the Universe" has been serialized on Yuewen Novel Network for three days, because the editor-in-chief Zhu Yeqing has given many good recommendations. Now "Fighting the Universe" has also become popular on Yuewen Novel website, and even reached the top of the new book list in one fell swoop!

On the other hand, Haokan Novel Network.

"Fighting the Universe" has been out for three days, and there are no new chapters in three days, so many readers are going crazy.

All the books are left with messages:

"Where is the author?"

"Why haven't you updated yet?"

"Where did the author die?"

"I'm going to send the author a blade!"

"Come out and update, I'm almost in a hurry!"

“…”

What’s amazing is that although Chen Zhe has been out of the process for three days, there are still many recommendation votes for the book "Fighting the Universe" every day. This book is still the first on the new book list, and it is as stable as Mount Tai!

Even the editors, Sister Su, Xiao Wang and the others were surprised. Why do so many people like to read this book?

It was noon that day.

Just as the editors just returned to the office to rest after dinner, Yitian Jian, the editor-in-chief of Haokan Novel Network, suddenly frowned and came in from outside.

As soon as he saw the editor-in-chief come in, editors such as Su Jie, Xiao Wang, and Alu quickly sat up nervously, waiting for the leader's instructions.

Editor-in-chief Yitian Jian walked straight to the office and said in a deep voice: "What, I recently noticed that there is a very interesting new book on our website called "Fighting the Universe". Have you all seen it?"

"Ahhh... I saw it." Sister Su nodded quickly, "This book is now on the first place in the new book list..."

"That's right." Yitian Jian said in a deep voice, "According to my observation, this book has achieved great results since the first day of publishing, and it reached the forefront of the new book list the next day. From the third day, it has always occupied the first place in the new book list..."

Several editors nodded repeatedly, and the editor-in-chief said it was right.

This book is indeed so powerful, and the data is so good-looking.

At this time, Yitian Jian's tone suddenly became serious and he asked, "But why did this book be interrupted? I just took a look and found that this book has not been updated for three days. What's going on?"

"This..." Sister Su said timidly, "I don't know this either. After all, I don't have the author's contact information. Maybe something urgent happened to his family."

"Yes, the reasons for the author to make a break are always strange, and we don't know..." Xiao Wang also said vaguely.

However, Yitian Jian snorted coldly and said, "Don't you know? Then I tell you, the reason why the author stopped updating is that you are reluctant to sign a contract with him! This is the reason! This book "Fighting the Universe" has been serialized on our website for many days? The new book list has been on almost a week. Why don't you sign a contract with him? Keep this good book quickly?"

Facing the editor-in-chief's questioning, Sister Su and the others were all panicked.

But calm down, Sister Su still said bluntly: "Editor-in-chief, I don't know if you have read this novel. Although this novel has good data and is quite good-looking, his writing style is really a bit...not quite satisfactory.

His narrative and description are dry, with no vocabulary at all, and the logic in many places is not smooth, which means forcing conflicts to advance the plot.

Moreover, the creation of other characters is too simple and has serious stereotypes. From my personal professional perspective, it is not recommended to sign a contract."

After hearing this, the editor-in-chief smiled disdainfully and said, "It is not recommended to sign a contract from your personal professional perspective? So Xiao Su, this only means that your personal professional quality needs to be improved!

Because the market has proved the success of this novel, this fast-paced, simple, easy, and short-simple novel, just happens to be the trend of the moment!"

"What, what?" Sister Su was stunned by the words, but she was still a little dissatisfied and argued, "But this novel has no literary nature at all! It's like an essay written by a primary school student!"

The editor-in-chief smiled again and shook his head and said, "That means you got the meaning of the novel, Xiao Su.

I ask you, what is the purpose of people reading novels? What is the meaning of people reading novels?"

"This..." Sister Su frowned and said, "It is to pursue the happiness of words and to wander in the illusory world created by others."

After hearing this, the editor-in-chief shook his head and said, "What I said is too fake and empty, what is pursuing the happiness of words, what is wandering in the illusory world created by others. To put it bluntly, people read novels for entertainment, and relaxation.

Novels are different from other serious literature. The essence of it is an entertaining style, just like food. Serious literature is equivalent to nutritional vegetables, fruits and health products, while novels are equivalent to snacks.

The purpose of our snacks is to taste delicious, to satisfy our cravings, to enjoy, not to intake nutrition.

You are now criticizing the novel "Fighting the World" for not having literary nature, with dry language, stereotyped characters, and illogical... You are like pointing to a bag of potato chips and saying that it is not nutritious, not conducive to digestion, and not full!

Please, please make sure you know, is it for eating potato chips to get nutrition? Is it to fill your stomach? Is it for reading novels to explore what literary nature and to improve your literary literacy?

You were all wrong! You were completely wrong!"

Hearing the criticism of the Yitian Sword, Sister Su and Xiao Wang both lowered their heads in shame.

They had been struggling in this industry for several years, and thought they had mastered the context of the market and had figured out the true meaning of the novel, but now that they were told by the editor-in-chief, they suddenly realized their shallowness.

Because of their inherent prejudices and their self-righteous judgments, they missed a stunning novel and a potential masterpiece that could become a masterpiece.

Only then did they realize that their "literary style" or "literary nature" that they had always been famous for were not the most important factor in the novel. Just like when people eat snacks, they would never consider which snack is the most nutritious, because eating snacks itself is not for the sake of nutrition.

At this time, the editor-in-chief Yitian Jian slapped the table and said loudly: "Give you a day, find the author of this book immediately, and get the contract signing for me.

I will give this book the biggest recommendation tomorrow, and this book is likely to be the most popular book on the website in recent years!”

"clear!"

"I know, boss."

"receive!"

The three editors nodded repeatedly, and then immediately contacted Chen Zhe through the author's backstage.

But they didn't know that Chen Zhe had signed a contract with their partner, Yuewen Novel Network, and had already won the top spot in Yuewen Novel Network's new book list.

All afternoon.

Chen Zhe can always receive friends applications from the editor on his mobile phone.

"Hello, I am Su Wei, the editor of Haokan Novel Network."

"Hello, I am Wang Le, the editor of Haokan Novel Network."

"Hello, I am the editor of Haokan Novel Network - Alu."

However, since he had signed a contract with other websites, Chen Zhe did not go to He Haokan Novels to talk too much. He politely rejected each editor who added him, and filled in the reason for his rejection: "Sorry, "Fighting Po Qiankun" has no intention of signing a contract with your website."

This makes the editors of Haokan Novel Network feel uncomfortable.

In the past, they ignored Chen Zheai, but now Chen Zhe makes them unable to reach the top.
