After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

At first, Dugu He thought he had misheard, but seeing Jiang Baige's serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke.

Jiang Baige said another thing.

"I think that with Xingran's nice personality, he definitely didn't tell you how perverted Meng Ping is."

"abnormal?"

It seems that Lin Xingran really didn't say anything.

But just because Lin Xingran has a good personality doesn’t mean Jiang Baige does too.

She "artistically processed" Meng Ping's abnormal behavior towards Lin Xingran, which was like a stalker and a dog-skin plaster, and which Lin Xingran could not get rid of.

Dugu He opened his mouth unconsciously and made a reasonable association: "So, he came to our publishing house..."

Jiang Baige nodded.

"Do you think he wants to chase Xing Ran..."

"If it were me, I wouldn't try to guess what a pervert is thinking."

Jiang Baige actually has always hated this: when talking about men hurting women, the first thing people think of is emotional factors.

But is this really the case? She doubted it.

"I am more inclined to believe that Meng Ping's character is flawed."

This is why she wants to dig up the "past": "Having such a time bomb around is definitely not a good thing. Now, he has not yet established a solid foundation, but he has already caused trouble. If he really gains a firm foothold in the future, what will happen?"

Having said that, if Dugu He still believes that Meng Ping will not have any influence on her, and only wants to discuss Jiang Baige's novel "based on facts", then Jiang Baige can only say that she has done her best.

Dugu He said after a while: "You are much more mature than I thought."

Jiang Baige thought to himself: I am already 35 or 36 years old, and I have been a corporate slave for several years. How can I not be mature?

But she just drank water to cover up her expression: "I am an adult after all... and people who write articles think a lot."

"I will consider what you said. But you should also know that it's not that easy to kick someone out." Dugu He also took a sip of water. "If he is really like you said, with evil intentions but carefulness, then we should be more cautious."

"It's appropriate to be cautious... because this book may be adapted into a TV series, and I don't want any problems to arise before that."

“You’re going to make a TV series out of this book?”

Dugu He's eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Baige knew that if Dugu He knew that this book would be adapted into a TV series, he would be even more reluctant to give up this book.

Just like “a dog is a dog and a Border Collie is a Border Collie”, “a book is a book and a bestseller is a bestseller”, these are completely different concepts.

The editor of a best-selling book that can sell hundreds of thousands of copies can get a lot of commissions. At this time, the conclusions such as "publishing is a sunset industry" and "editor depends on emotion" are completely non-existent.

Dugu He is an experienced editor who has worked on many best-selling books. She knows the value of these three words.

"So, please understand that I absolutely cannot let the internal struggles of your publishing house affect the sale of the copyright of my novel..."

Jiang Baige now behaved like a businessman rather than a student or author: "And you should know better than me that as long as the film and television rights of this book can be sold, it is only a matter of time before the book rights can be sold."

Dugu He certainly understood.

So now, it's her turn to play the emotional card: "I have a preference for the gender of the author. I just like books by female authors because I can easily resonate with them and then read on. But when it comes to books by male authors, even if they are world-famous works, I will feel like I'm being scolded while reading..."

Jiang Baige laughed. She understood: "So?"

“Where are the most female writers…online.”

When she started paying attention to online publishing, her career was at a bottleneck.

She has written many good books and knows many writers, but she is not interested in being promoted to a leadership position to manage people. Her interest lies in writing books.

But as she said, there are too few female writers in the field she once worked in. It’s not that there are good or bad female writers, but that there are too few of them, both good and bad.

She took a long vacation to get away from work, but she was still bored every day, so she followed her daughter's example and started reading novels online.

Once you see it, you'll be addicted.

She likes the unrestrained themes and free imagination in online articles. More importantly, there is a natural and unrestrained vitality beneath those words that lack skill and embellishment.

Out of professional habit as an editor, she checked the information of the authors of the books she loved to read. Without exception, all of them were female authors.

But it is easy to imagine that female authors are the majority in female-oriented works.

She couldn't stand watching male-oriented works because she had already seen too many narratives from a male perspective at work, and when she read online works written by male authors, she couldn't help but feel that the work was shoddy.

——Of course, this is just her own preference.

After the holiday, she began to think about publishing online articles.

This was not only out of her selfish desire, but more importantly, she saw something in online articles that was not found in traditional publishing: fresh, bold, and full of vitality.

In terms of depth, perhaps many online novels cannot compare with those of classic masters, especially many romance novels. Although they are "female-oriented", they always spend a lot of effort to create a more perfect male protagonist.

But what editors do is to sift through the ocean of books. At least, online literature is in an upward development state.

The authors themselves are also growing and improving.

At the beginning, I thought that the happy ending was that the heroine had love or was saved by the hero. Later, slowly, the heroine could change her own life. Some stories did not have a hero, and some stories started from leaving the hero...

They may not be the most mainstream yet, but they exist.

It was at this moment that Lin Xingran came into her sight, holding Jiang Baige's book about patricide.

This gesture of "declaring war" immediately caught Dugu He's attention.

Unfortunately, the ending of the book was opposed by some diehard editors. However, Jiang Baige was not persistent and revised it again. But when they were preparing to connect with the website's copyright, Lin Xingran resigned and went to study.

The matter has been put on hold.

until……

"I heard from Xingran that you and Teacher Jingchai... are also friends?"

Jiang Baige nodded and thought to herself: I didn’t know until I heard it. Now that I hear it, I actually feel like I have quite a wide network of contacts.

Jingchai's novel about a girl's revenge was reprinted three times right after it was released. Based on the current momentum, it will surely be on this year's annual bestseller novel list.

Dugu He once again had an idea and wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation to publish Jiang Baige's novel.

In fact, in addition to Jiang Baige's book, she also selected several other female suspense novels and wanted to make them into a series.

At this time, Jiang Baige dropped another bombshell.

"Teacher Dugu, you follow my and Xingran's public account, right? Then you should also know that we clearly stood up and spoke out about the "colored hair" incident that caused a big stir before, right?"
