Fan Cheng was sitting in the driver's cab, staring at the window glass in front of her with a serious expression, but her eyes didn't fall on the actual place through the glass, she was immersed in thinking at this moment.

She is now sitting in her own car, and her car is parked in the parking lot of the office building where Xie Yunzhi's brokerage company - Yincheng is located.It was [-]:[-] in the morning, and she had just sent Xie Yunzhi and Lan Yiyi upstairs, but she was not in a hurry to leave at this moment, and was stranded in the parking lot.

What she was thinking about was a series of performances of Xie Yunzhi in bed last night.Last night, Xie Yunzhi bit her with dry vinegar, regretted crying, and her mood fluctuated violently. Fan Cheng's affectionate confession moved her so much that the two had a long and lingering deep kiss. During that time, Fan Cheng's desire soared, almost At one o'clock, he unbuttoned his clothes and took the last step.However, because of Xie Yunzhi's resistant reaction, she still held back with great self-control.After that, the two of them calmed down for a long time before embracing each other and falling asleep in a daze.

Fan Cheng felt that maybe Xie Yunzhi still couldn't get out of the shadow of some things back then.Fan Cheng could feel that she had an instinctive resistance to bed affairs, which was also the most important reason why she had to stop.When she lifted Xie Yunzhi's pajamas and tried to touch her chest, she was blocked.Xie Yunzhi said, "I'm sorry, I'm not ready yet." Fan Cheng immediately stopped.Perhaps that could also be interpreted as being too shy, but Fan Cheng read fear from Xie Yunzhi's involuntary trembling state.After the fear passed, apology and remorse followed, and Xie Yunzhi obviously did not expect her own behavior.At that moment, she must have had bad memories and realized something. Fan Cheng felt a kind of silent pain and resentment from her.

Fan Cheng didn't say anything, just comforted her, hugged her, murmured "it's okay" and "take your time", and finally let Xie Yunzhi fall asleep peacefully.

She once heard from Lan Yiyi that Xie Yunzhi was almost drugged by an actor a few years ago.At that time, if her assistant hadn't sacrificed his life to save her, Xie Yunzhi might have encountered a crush/rape.Afterwards, this matter was settled because of the actor's overshadowing, which caused profound harm to Xie Yunzhi.So far, the actor's identity has never been made public. Lan Yiyi was not by Xie Yunzhi's side at the time, and she didn't know the situation, and she didn't dare to ask Xie Yunzhi.Xie Yunzhi never mentioned that matter again.

Fan Cheng originally thought that Xie Yunzhi didn't care about those things anymore, but now it seems that this is not the case.The damage caused to Xie Yunzhi by that incident still exists. Although the scab on the surface has disappeared, the wound inside is still gradually eroding.Xie Yunzhi's insecurity about her relationship and her instinctive resistance to bed matters are all the effects of the scars left behind.

Fan Cheng felt that she couldn't let this matter pass by like this. Since this matter had become a knot in Xie Yunzhi's heart, she had to find a way to untie it.In any case, she wants Xie Yunzhi to have a sunny spiritual world and never be troubled by anything again.What's more, the nature of this matter was actually very serious back then, and it would not be too much to pursue it.When Fan Cheng heard about this, an evil fire burned in his heart.Up to now, the fire has reached the point where it is about to burst.She had to let justice be done. In order to dispel Xie Yunzhi's nightmare, she wanted him to repay what some people owed Xie Yunzhi.

With a stern look in her eyes, she picked up her phone and began to look it up.She remembered that Lan Yiyi mentioned it to her. That incident happened about three years ago, when Xie Yunzhi was 25 years old.In Xie Yunzhi's resume, there was no episode in which she was replaced, but all the episodes filmed and aired three years ago are available online. She searched and made a list, the shooting time, The name of the leading actor and the investor are all clear at a glance.

Then she began to search the Internet for news about Xie Yunzhi's replacement.But I don't know if it's because the actor spent money to launder the land. The news that reported this incident back then can no longer be found on the Internet.Fan Cheng searched for a long time but found nothing. After thinking about it, she found the name of an acquaintance from the phone list: Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong was her friend in college. He was a student of the journalism department. Because he and Fan Cheng belonged to the school's literary club, and they both loved traveling and often went out together, so the relationship was very close.Until recently, Fan Cheng was still in contact with him.After graduating, he joined a well-known entertainment news agency in Guangzhou and became an entertainment reporter. He has persisted until now, and he is a person who knows the circle very well.Fan Cheng was able to understand the current ecological environment and power distribution in the entertainment industry from a high-level perspective, and he provided a lot of help.

She dialed Zhang Tong's number and waited for a long time for Zhang Tong to answer.

"Hello, Lao Fan? Why did you call me?" Zhang Tong asked straight to the point.

"I have something to ask you." Fan Cheng didn't greet him politely, and got straight to the point, "Do you still remember the TV series where Xie Yunzhi was replaced midway three years ago?"

"Hey, when you say that, it seems that there is such a thing... Hey... Well, I can't remember it right away, how about I check our report records for you and call back later."

"Okay, thank you, I'm really in a hurry here."

"No problem, talk back."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Cheng saw that it was getting late, so he started the car and drove to the post-production studio of "Shadow Chaser". "Shadow Chaser" was post-produced in the TV drama production center of Central Film, which is located in the Central Film Building.Fan Cheng, Zhang Ziming and Li Ziwan were all squatting there these days.Zhang Ziming and Li Ziwan didn't even return to stay there all night. At present, the preliminary cut is almost finished, and they are about to enter the stage of formal editing.In addition, there is another thing these two days, Fan Cheng was given the task of writing lyrics.Yangying invited a well-known film and television drama soundtrack composer to write the soundtrack for "Shadow Chaser". The theme song and ending song melody have been released, but the lyrics are still missing.Fan Cheng was given the important task of writing lyrics, and she has been thinking about writing lyrics for the past two days. When the song comes out, Yangying is going to find Xu Anning, the most popular TV drama theme song singer at the moment, to sing.Yangying has already contacted Xu Aning, and the other party expressed their interest and intention to cooperate.

The car was driving on the road when a phone call came. Fan Cheng glanced at it and saw that it was Chen Liu's call.She pressed the answer button on the Bluetooth headset and answered the call.

"Chengzi, where are you?"

"I just finished delivering Yunzhi, and I'm on my way to Yangying."

"Don't be in a hurry to go to Central Film, you go to the publishing house first."

"what happened?"

"Your book, are you going to publish it or not? I sent you the sample cover two days ago, but you haven't responded yet. Is it okay? Also, Lao Zheng has something to ask you Let’s talk about it when you come over. Old Zheng at Yangying has said hello, so don’t go today.”

"Okay, I see." Fan Cheng had no choice but to hang up the phone.

She accelerated all the way to the downstairs of the Chinese Publishing House.Locked the car and walked quickly to the building, clicked on WeChat while walking, and scrolled down the message interface for a long time before finding the dialog box with Chen Liu.A few days ago, when Fan Cheng had just returned to the capital, Chen Liu accompanied her to pick up the new car.Chen Liu's hands were itchy, and he drove Fan Cheng's new car for more than half of Beijing city, but he still didn't think it was enough, so he harassed Fan Cheng on WeChat every day, asking Fan Cheng to give him the spare car key.Fan Cheng couldn't bear the disturbance, so he simply blocked him.No matter what Chen Liu sent her in the past two days, she ignored them all, and soon Chen Liu was brushed to the bottom of the message list.

Open it now, and sure enough, Chen Liu sent her the sample cover of the new book "Shadow Chaser".The last sentence "Did you block me" is inexplicably funny, but also reveals a pitiful spirit.

Fan Cheng took the elevator upstairs and walked into the publishing house with long strides.After passing through the mountain of manuscripts in the editorial room, she finally reached the editor-in-chief's office.The shutters of the office were not closed, and the editor-in-chief Zheng Zhihe and Chen Liu could be seen sitting inside. They didn't know what they were talking about, and they both looked a little serious.

Fan Cheng knocked on the door, and upon hearing Old Zheng's answer "Come in", Fan Cheng pushed the door open and entered.As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Zhihe waved to her:

"Xiao Fan, come and sit down. I'll wait for you to come over."

"Uncle Zheng, what's the rush?"

"It's really an urgent matter. You know Random House." Zheng Zhihe said, and when he said this, he motioned Chen Liu to get up, went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water for Fan Cheng.

"That famous publishing house in Germany?" Fan Cheng took a sip from the water glass and raised his eyebrows.

"Well, to be precise, Penguin Random House has merged with the British Penguin Publishing House for some years, and now Penguin Random House is the largest behemoth in the English publishing industry. Their vice president, George Bellus, recently came to China for a business trip , and Mr. An Jiaqi from the China Copyright Agency Corporation here in the capital have been visiting major publishing houses. They are planning to negotiate with 5 publishing houses across the country about the copyright of nearly [-] English translations. Among them are Twenty books are to be the top priority of their annual sales, and among these twenty books, there is your "Fence", and it ranks third."

Fan Cheng was a little confused and didn't answer for a while.

Zheng Zhihe's words continued: "Just yesterday, Beluth and An Jiaqi came to Guowen, and we received them. They expressed their liking for your "Fence". Beluth thinks this book has an international reputation. Popular and best-selling potential, if we can agree to give him the copyright of the English publication, he will push "Fence" to overseas markets, and let more foreigners know the existence of Jin Rulian, a new reasoning writer. At that time, the so-called " The name of "Little Agatha of the East" is no longer just a gimmick for our own bragging, but will become truly worthy of the name.

Xiao Fan, this opportunity is once in a thousand years. You can only be regarded as a minor celebrity in China. This is your best opportunity to become famous overseas. You can let go of the "Shadow Chaser" thing, and don't forget your own job, you are a writer.If your career can reach a new level, it will be a kind of encouragement to our publishing house and even the entire Chinese literary world. "

"Hey, my Boss Zheng, look at what you said, it's too exaggerated, and the horoscope has not been written yet." Chen stayed next to him, gagging, because he saw that something was wrong with Fan Cheng's state at this time.

"While you're going, I'm talking to Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan, did you hear that?" Zheng Zhihe stared at Fan Cheng.

"It's a bit sudden, why did you...follow my book?" Fan Cheng was unprepared.In fact, it was not the first time that someone came to discuss the English translation of her book and published it abroad, but Penguin Langdon actually took a fancy to her, which was really unexpected.

Zheng Zhihe pushed the reading glasses on his nose, looked at Fan Cheng from above the lenses and said:

"Someone strongly recommended your book to Bellus, and this person personally translated "Fences". Bellows read her translation."

"Who?"

"You must have never imagined that it is the very famous hostess of the talk show on CCTV Variety Channel, Wan Jing. She seems to be a college classmate with you. You should know her."

"Crack", something seemed to break in Fan Cheng's mind, and now she was completely stunned.Chen Liu, who was at the side, saw her reaction, sighed silently, and scratched the back of his head.

"Oh, this Wan Jing is really a talented woman. You know she has the experience of studying in the United States, and her English is very good. I didn't expect her to have such strong literary skills, and she can write in both Chinese and English. The old grandson of the translation group sees I took a look at the translation she made by herself, and praised it very much. He said that this translation is very close to your text, and the translation of many sentences is really wonderful. This is what she translated in her spare time. It is really wonderful. We will directly omit the request The translation is troublesome, and Bellus said that this version of the translation can be used directly."

"Wan Jing...why is he in contact with Beluth?" Fan Cheng asked, frowning.

"It is said that she and Beluth met at an American university. Didn't Wan Jing study for a master's degree at Yale? Beluth went to their school to hold a book fair, and Wan Jing gave a speech as a representative of outstanding Chinese students. I know it. I think this Beluth is pursuing Wan Jing, and he has some kind of meaning for Wan Jing. But Wan Jing probably hasn’t agreed to him yet, because this Beluth is almost 50 years old, and he had a marriage before. There is also a teenage daughter, and her career is abroad, if it really becomes a transnational marriage, it will be a bit of a sacrifice." Zheng Zhihe showed a meaningful smile.

Fan Cheng had mixed feelings in his heart, and remained silent with a sullen face.

Seeing her ambiguous attitude, Zheng Zhihe tried to persuade her, "Xiao Fan, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Bellus will be returning to China in two days, so you have to make a decision as soon as possible. I don't think you have anything to hesitate, just Agreed, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for you. Filming TV dramas is not your main job after all. Among the new generation of writers in China, you are the one with the most potential to develop internationally. Don’t be delayed by your amateur work. .”

Fan Cheng pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "Let me think about it, I... will give you an answer tomorrow."
