This question is a bit complicated, because if even Lin Xingran doesn’t know how the “Cake Man” got in touch with Meng Ping, then she would know even less.

But whether you know it or not is not important.

They weren't even sure whether the cake man was the one causing trouble.

Everything is just their speculation, except for the fact that any online article that Dugu He likes will be reported.

The reason why I reminded Lin Xingran was to let her walk on more legs, and not be like in her previous life, where she lost confidence in work and hope in life because of the failure of passive "work" struggle, and fell into self-doubt and even gave up on herself.

At that time, Jiang Baige never imagined that the possibility of being "reported" would eventually fall on her.

And she would never allow this to happen.

The subject matter of her article was originally "sensitive" and it was once rejected by the topic selection committee because of the ending.

Although the ending was changed, Dugu He still took a fancy to it.

But the problem is that not long ago, she and Lin Xingran publicly stated their stance on the "colored hair" incident in their official account.

This matter is not a big problem, but because the public accounts are public, it is easy to "identify" them. If Meng Ping wants to take advantage of it, by inciting men to create opposition and deliberately attacking them...

Neither Jiang Baige's article nor Nanlin.com itself can withstand such a turmoil.

By that time, there was absolutely no way the platform would take the risk to support Jiang Baige—she wasn’t even a resident writer.

The most likely scenario is to lock up her novels to “calm public anger.”

She is the only unlucky one!

Not only did the novel fail to sell and make any money, the novel couldn't even be kept - that's the thing about online literature, which makes people feel powerless to complain but also helpless.

It would be better to stay like this. Although she can't make any money from the publishing rights, at least the book is still there.

Anyway, if it is not a bestseller with a large print run and many reprints, the royalties you get are only tens of thousands of yuan...

Expect it to make money?

Starve to death as soon as possible and put an end to it all!

And if she doesn't publish it and doesn't offend psychopaths like Meng Ping or Cake Man, then her book will still be there. It's a small matter that it can continue to attract readers to pay to read it. What's more important is that the book is still there.

This is probably similar to how a mother looks at her child: even if the child is not doing well, at least he is still alive.

Jiang Baige knew that this was a little unlike her.

But maybe this is just how she is: if it’s about saving lives, there’s no choice but to fight; if it doesn’t come to that, there’s no need to go to the extent of destroying both sides.

With these tens of thousands of dollars, she could write one more hit article without playing around with the media and it would become a success.

Lin Xingran didn't know all this. She didn't know that Jiang Baige had a way out and had other ideas. She even wanted to give up the online article that she had invested too much in but the returns were too slow... She just felt that it would be a pity to give up like this.

She continued to fight: "Actually, the reason why I called you today is because Teacher Dugu may go to Anjing on a business trip next week... She wants to see you..."

"Meet me? About this book?"

It is normal for the editor to meet the author.

But if Jiang Baige doesn’t want to be the author, that’s another matter.

Of course, Lin Xingran could also directly negotiate with Nanlin.com about copyright. The platform signed the agency agreement, which actually gave it certain powers of disposal.

But the good thing about Nanlin.com is that they don't force authors to sign contracts.

According to Lin Xingran, Dugu He has been deeply involved in online literature publishing for some time, so he must be familiar with Nanlin.com.

That's why he would ask Lin Xingran to find out what Jiang Baige was saying.

It's really... watertight.

If it weren't for the two rotten apples Meng Ping and Cake Man, Jiang Baige would have been very relieved to hand this patricidal book to Dugu He.

She hates it so much.

Although she has long known about the existence of "species diversity", every time she meets someone who is not focused on his own work and only thinks about how to ruin other people's work, she wants to kick him in the face.

Did she really surrender to these bastards?

Thinking of this, Jiang Baige felt a little reluctant.

"Bai Ge, please think about it again..." Lin Xingran's tone was very sincere, "Teacher Dugu is a very good editor."

She is not only standing from the perspective of an editor, but also from the perspective of someone who wants to do something for women's writing and does not want to give up any opportunity.

"it is good."

Jiang Baige was persuaded by her. After all, it was just a meeting and there was no need to go out.

Moreover, unlike the previous life, now they have seen through each other's conspiracy and taken the initiative.

Since Lin Xingran can change his miserable fate, why can't Dugu He?

If her book is an opportunity...why doesn't she give everyone a chance?

In fact, she also knew that among the "benefits" of publishing a book, the royalties were the least worth mentioning.

Once she has a published novel, many opportunities, attention, connections and readers will come, which is more important.

She really shouldn't have given up this opportunity so easily.

Soon, Jiang Baige and Dugu He added each other’s contact information and agreed on the time for the next meeting.

This matter should have come to an end for the time being.

But a new situation arose that surprised Jiang Baige - editor Zhou Zhou came to her as soon as she got to work and told her that a film and television company had also taken a fancy to her book about patricide.

Jiang Baige: This year the luck of killing one’s father is quite strong.

No, it’s not just the “father-killing luck”, but also the “copyright-selling luck”.

Could it be that God discovered that her love for writing was being shaken by money, so he wanted to use money to win her back?

Jiang Baige was ecstatic: Come on, come more.

Zhou Zhou didn't know what was going on in Jiang Baige's mind, so he continued to do things as usual, saying "ugly words" in advance: "I asked the copyright company, and they said that this company is not big, and they bought the copyright to make a short drama, about ten minutes per episode, and a total of ten episodes."

Jiang Baige: [So?]

Editor Zhou Zhou: [So the money won’t be that much… Although the copyright is still under discussion, the price they offered at the beginning was lower than your package sale.]

Jiang Baige felt disappointed.

But soon, she made a simple conversion between the price and the number of words, and her heart warmed up: The Emperor's article has 1.2 million words, and the patricide article has only 200,000 words. Even if the price is only one-sixth of that, it's worth it!

Just like before, Jiang Baige readily accepted the result.

And Zhou Zhou still did not bring up the issue of copyright, which means that Dugu He has not yet communicated with the copyright side, but instead prioritized respecting Jiang Baige's wishes.

This made Jiang Baige feel very comfortable.

Although she would be unhappy if no author sold the copyright, but now, if she sells the book copyright, it will affect her sale of film and television copyright...

It goes without saying which is more important.

She had to think carefully about how to discuss this matter with Dugu He: the best outcome would be to have the best of both worlds.
