Honkai Impact: Join anti-entropy at the beginning to dominate the entertainment industry
Chapter 250 The power of words
Faced with Raven's tough request, Gray Snake was helpless and could only agree to help her call Night Owl over to scold her.
Night Owl has not gone back at this time. He is busy planning the New Year's special issue of the short story magazine "Spark".
Everything was going smoothly, but suddenly an author failed to submit a manuscript on time, and his work was originally intended to be placed on the front page.
This sudden change caught Ye Xiao off guard, and the magazine that was supposed to be ready two days ago was also forced to delay printing.
Just when he was anxious and worried, he suddenly thought of Qianjian, and then he contacted him with the intention of giving it a try.
But his little move was directly exposed to the raven because of Bai Qianqu's negligence.
He himself was called over by Gray Snake.
Before the two of them could say anything, the furious raven rushed in.
When the night owl saw the raven, he immediately knew that his affair was exposed, and secretly thought that something was wrong, but it was already too late to escape.
Raven blocked the door with his hands on his hips and said aggressively: "Editor Ye Xiao, are you being too unethical? How dare you poach my Thousand Swords?!"
Ye Xiao knew he was in the wrong and smiled.
"No, Editor Raven, I originally planned to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to know about it. Don't be so angry. I just had a casual chat with Qian Jian, and he didn't confirm that he wanted to write it."
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand!" Raven's voice was so loud that employees working overtime outside could hear it, "Qianjian is looking for inspiration for his next novel during this time! Don't tell me that you don't know about him. How successful is the novel! If you go to him now to ask for a manuscript, aren't you influencing his creation?! And he has already finished the work and sent it to me, but he just sent it to me by mistake!"
Night Owl pouted. Faced with Raven's aggressiveness, he was also a little unhappy: "Isn't this the last book that hasn't been finished yet? This period should be regarded as his hiatus, and his next work has not been determined yet. , he can write whatever he wants. Who said he has to write a novel? Besides, even if he writes a novel, it doesn’t necessarily have to be about e-sports.”
The raven stared angrily!
"He just writes short stories casually, but he will eventually develop into full-length novels! Besides, how can your magazine develop? How much royalties can you give people? Do you know how much he earned from "The Master"? Yours How can a magazine make him so much money? Even if you give someone 50,000 words of 1,000 words, it won’t be a fraction of what you can earn from a full-length novel!”
Night Owl was not to be outdone: "Can't I write a long novel if I write a short story? I can write whatever I like. Who are you to make decisions for Qian Jian?"
"Okay, it seems you sincerely want to steal someone from me?"
"So what? Everyone depends on their abilities!"
The two of them got more and more angry as they quarreled, looking like they were at war with each other.
Finally, Gray Snake couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the two of them.
"That's enough! It's not appropriate to argue like this! No matter what Qianjian writes, he is still a member of the Snake Library in our world!"
The two of them snorted at the same time and turned their heads away from each other.
Gray Snake also had a headache, so he had to change the topic temporarily.
"Um, Editor Raven, you said Qian Jian has already written a short story? Can you show it to me first?"
Raven took a deep breath, turned around, printed out "The Gift of the Magi" and handed it to Gray Snake.
This short story is not long, so Gray Snake finished it quickly.
But after reading it, Gray Snake suddenly fell into silence.
Raven and Night Owl, who were still confronting each other next to them, also noticed something was wrong. They stopped arguing and looked at Gray Snake, and found that he actually picked up a piece of paper, put it into the mask, and blew his nose hard.
The two looked at each other, both a little uneasy.
Could it be that their quarrel made Gray Snake sad?
Ye Xiao hurriedly said: "That editor-in-chief, that's not the case. We just have a little fight. What conflicts between colleagues can't be resolved?"
"That's it." Raven no longer hesitated, "It's just an appointment with Qian Jian for a manuscript. It's not really a big deal. I don't plan to pursue it anymore. Qian Jian will definitely adjust it by himself anyway."
Gray Snake didn't answer. He booked himself a nearest plane ticket, then simply packed up, picked up a briefcase and stood up.
"I'll go home in the afternoon. I won't work overtime during the Chinese New Year this year."
Raven and Night Owl were both stunned when they heard what Gray Snake said.
You must know that in the world's snake library, Gray Snake is a well-deserved overtime maniac. He works the longest overtime hours. He has even stayed at the company to work overtime during the Spring Festival for several consecutive years without going home. It seems to be the same this year, but now he actually says he wants to go back. ?
The two didn't understand what happened to make him change the habit he had maintained for several years.
Gray Snake saw the confusion in their eyes, and whispered: "You can never make enough money, but the time you spend with your family is getting shorter and shorter every day. After working outside for such a long time, it is time to go back and spend time with your family." They are.”
With that said, he took his bag and hurried out.
The raven looked at the Gray Snake leaving in a hurry and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The Night Owl was also full of confusion.
Although this is true, it feels very abnormal to say it from Gray Snake's mouth.
Both of them vaguely felt that things were not simple. Their eyes fell on the short story that was still on the desk. It was after reading this story that Gray Snake suddenly became like that.
They were all very curious as to what kind of story could make Gray Snake have such a big reaction.
Gray Snake and Night Owl reached out and grabbed the paper at the same time. After glaring at each other, they each took one side and read together.
The novel is indeed very short, and both of them are senior editors, so it seemed to be done very quickly.
The story seems to be very simple, it is just a plot about a poor couple giving gifts to each other. The two of them have watched this type of story for a long time, and their hearts have long been numb.
According to what the two people thought, the story must have ended with the two giving each other gifts, feeling each other's feelings, and then hugging each other tightly, showing the beauty of family.
They didn't understand how this story would react to Gray Snake?
They themselves feel nothing.
But when they saw the ending, they realized that they were completely wrong, and very wrong.
The two of them sucked in a breath of cold air and couldn't help but say in unison:
"Fuck!"
At this time, the two of them finally understood why the Gray Snake had been so touched just now, and they fully understood everything.
The appeal of literary works is very strong, especially when the content described in the text is very similar to one's own situation, it can resonate greatly. There is a saying that goes well: people are more willing to believe what they believe. s things.
