Sitting on the cross-border trading group, the country is chasing after it

Chapter 471 Extra: The Time Traveler - Sweet Lies

Shen Xiaoxuan loves writing very much. She has been a representative of the Chinese class since she was a child. The poems she wrote in junior high school were not only included in a book published by a publishing house, but also posted on the Internet by her teacher, receiving hundreds of thousands of likes. Netizens said that her poems are full of spirit and imagination.

From then on, Shen Xiaoxuan began to try writing novels.

Shen Xiaoxuan is very lucky to have open-minded parents who never think she is not doing her job properly, but support her writing. Because of this, Shen Xiaoxuan dare not slack off in her studies, and her grades have always been above average.

When Shen Xiaoxuan was seventeen years old, she wrote an inspirational story about a group of protagonists’ adventure in another world, and then tried to submit it to a publishing house.

Several publishing houses rejected her submission on the grounds that she was not famous, her story did not conform to market trends, and that the story was a long one and therefore too risky to publish.

It was not until her submission was selected by the editor of Dream Elephant Publishing House that she had the opportunity to be published.

When Shen Xiaoxuan met with her editor-in-chief, she repeatedly thanked the editor for appreciating her. Unexpectedly, her editor said, "You shouldn't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank my colleague Ying Wenhai instead."

"Originally, due to market considerations, we were not in favor of publishing your story, but he strongly recommended you and believed that your book would be a big seller."

"From the perspective of the story, your novel is a little immature in terms of writing style, but it is indeed very interesting. So after an internal vote, we decided to give it a try."

"Originally he was supposed to be your editor-in-chief, but he's been busy with the publication of several authors recently and can't spare the time. So he assigned you to me."

"Come on, little one."

At that time, Ying Wenhai's name was firmly remembered by Shen Xiaoxuan, and she was completely grateful to him.

Later, when they had the chance to meet at the publishing house, Shen Xiaoxuan was deeply impressed by his gentle appearance and elegant conversation.

Two months later, before her book was officially published, the original editor-in-chief resigned and her work was assigned to Ying Wenhai.

Ying Wenhai was completely different from the previous editor who only talked about work and nothing else. He was very enthusiastic towards Shen Xiaoxuan.

"I never thought that after all these twists and turns, we would end up together. Haha, this is fate."

"When it comes to assigning authors, I'll choose you."

"Xiaoxuan, you have to work hard and write the rest of the story well. Make sure each book is more popular than the last one, to prove that I didn't make a mistake in choosing you. Give those people a good slap in the face!"

These words gave Shen Xiaoxuan great confidence at the time.

Ying Wenhai contacts Shen Xiaoxuan almost every day. In addition to daily greetings and concern, he occasionally says that he is working overtime on Shen Xiaoxuan's book.

For example, Ying Wenhai would tell Shen Xiaoxuan that he was not satisfied with the several versions of the cover produced by the artist and designer, and he was now arguing with them.

Shen Xiaoxuan has a softer personality, so she advised Ying Wenhai softly: "Why not leave the cover like this? I think they both look good."

"How can that be? This is your first book. For you, I must make it the best it can be. It can't just be pretty good, it has to be the best."

"Don't worry, I'll be there to check for you, there will be absolutely no problem."

When Shen Xiaoxuan saw this, how could she not be moved? She excitedly typed in response: "Thank you Editor Ying!"

"Just call me Brother Hai, it seems closer."

"Okay, thank you Brother Hai."

Jiang Ruochu couldn't help but frown slightly as he listened to Shen Xiaoxuan's narration of the past.

Rather than saying that Ying Wenhai was encouraging Shen Xiaoxuan, it would be more accurate to say that he was mentally controlling her.

Things like "fate", "I want you", "I've been working overtime for you and had an argument with others" all gave Shen Xiaoxuan the illusion that she was the only one and you were so good to me, which made Shen Xiaoxuan feel grateful.

His move was indeed successful.

The young and inexperienced Shen Xiaoxuan thinks Ying Wenhai is the best person in the world.

In fact, the relationship between authors and editors complements each other.

If the author's work sells well, the editor can also get a high bonus, so it is completely wrong for Ying Wenhai to say that he has a hard time.

Even if he was having troubles, he shouldn't tell Shen Xiaoxuan who was still in high school. Instead, he should talk to his family and friends. What kind of thing was it to transfer his stress to a high school student?

Shen Xiaoxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw Jiang Ruochu's analysis.

Shen Xiaoxuan (Adventure World): If I had seen through things as clearly as you did, I wouldn't have been deceived.

Yuan Tangtang (Ancient Palace Fighting): So he was doing PUA? Oh, if I hadn't known in advance that he was a liar, I would have thought he was nice to Xiaoxuan after hearing this, but later on, maybe people's hearts change and their feelings faded. Haha, what a scheming man!

Cui Xuehui started working early and had seen all kinds of men, so she had seen through them.

Cui Xuehui (The End of the World): You young girls who have not experienced much of society are particularly easy to be deceived by scumbag men. Xiaoxuan, please continue. What happened later?

Half a year later, Shen Xiaoxuan's first novel was successfully published. It actually sold well and even won an award. Readers were urging for the second part.

Before long, overseas publishers contacted them and bought the overseas distribution rights. Soon after, the copyrights of animation, film and television were also sold.

When editors from other publishing houses discovered that this sudden hit was actually the manuscript they had rejected, they would beat themselves up in the middle of the night.

Among them, a publishing house secretly contacted Shen Xiaoxuan, hoping to sign her future works, but Shen Xiaoxuan decisively refused.

She plans to work only with Dream Elephant Publishing House in the future.

The success of the novel made Ying Wenhai feel very proud and confident during that period, and he was able to have his say in the publishing house.

After the second part was published, the sales of the novel even exceeded that of the first part, and Ying Wenhai, who discovered Shen Xiaoxuan, was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief.

As time went by, and Ying Wenhai was always concerned about her, Shen Xiaoxuan gradually developed a crush on the older and gentle Ying Wenhai, but she was too shy to express it.

It was not until her sophomore year that Ying Wenhai confessed his love to her.

Shen Xiaoxuan, who already liked Ying Wenhai, quickly fell in love with him and the two officially started dating.

Shen Xiaoxuan had just graduated from college, and Ying Wenhai proposed to her immediately, and she sweetly agreed.

This was the first time that Shen Xiaoxuan's parents opposed their daughter's behavior. They had already been quite dissatisfied with Ying Wenhai, an editor, dating their daughter, but they couldn't help but feel that their daughter was in love with him and plunged into it headfirst.
