Ke Xue mourner

Chapter 181 Conan: The vest almost fell off, scared to death...

Conan, who was studying the puzzle, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Mao Lilan. Why did he suddenly start shouting his name?

"Excuse me, Ms. Mori... What is your relationship with that high school student detective Kudo Shinichi...?"

The editor obviously heard that Mao Lilan mentioned being a friend, but he still expected to hear some unusual answers, that would be great.

boom--

Mori Kogoro snorted coldly, clapped his hands on the coffee table, and said unhappily: "My daughter has nothing to do with that kid!"

Suzuki Sonoko reacted differently from him this time, and nodded with a smile, "That's right, that's right, I haven't reached that kind of relationship yet, and it's almost ready."

The editor looked at Suzuki Sonoko with interest, with a clear look on his face, which made Mao Lilan blushed and didn't know how to react, mainly because he was a little guilty.

Mori Kogoro was so angry that he grabbed the editor's collar and sprayed his saliva on the other's face, "My daughter is innocent and has nothing to do with that brat, can't you just scribble and understand?!"

The editor was frightened by him. He has never encountered such a submission site before. What is this all about...

The commotion here was too great, and it had already attracted the attention of others. The president of the publishing house couldn't sit still and came out to check the situation.

Of course, it was enough to let the editor-in-chief come over to deal with it, and the president came out because he heard the name of Mori Kogoro.

"Mr. Maori, I am the president of this publishing house. I am so negligent. I wonder if my employees did something wrong and made you angry? I apologize to you on his behalf."

Kogoro Mori saw the president bowing, and finally let go of his hand in embarrassment, letting go of the poor editor.

"Ah, no, no, it's just a misunderstanding. I was too reckless just now."

"Ah, by the way, here is a business card..."

Mori Kogoro's beer-filled mind finally remembered that someone had given him a business card before, and he could go directly to the president. Bai and the editor spent a long time drooling.

The president seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He took the business card and glanced at it before putting it in his pocket. Then he took out his own business card and offered it with both hands.

The other party was polite and kind, and Mori Kogoro chatted with him a little cautiously, and then he was dragged to the reception room for a detailed discussion by the other party.

"I'm sorry, my father was too impulsive to cause you trouble." Mao Lilan quickly apologized to the editor.

The editor waved his hand, not angry at all, "It's okay, it's about my daughter's reputation, it's normal for a father to have this kind of reaction, I can understand it."

"Innocent~" Suzuki Sonoko teased as he bumped Mao Lilan's leg with his leg.

Mao Lilan looked ashamed, but she couldn't get angry on this occasion, so she could only get it back from Yuanzi in private.

"Cough, then... let's get on with the business." The editor said, "I wonder if Ms. Mao Li has any special requirements for the manuscript? For example, can't change a single word?"

"Your manuscript generally meets the requirements of our magazine, but the details may need to be slightly polished. We will have a dedicated editor responsible for this..."

The editor cautiously asked tentatively, the attitude of the president was obvious just now, and he also knew what to do. If the author has any problems, he can help to correct them, or even help to write.

Mao Lilan shook her head, "There are no special requirements. I am indeed a newcomer in this industry. There are many things I don't understand. I hope you can give me some advice."

The editor, Lao Huai, was relieved. Fortunately, he was not a stubborn newcomer, so it would be much easier to handle.

"Then I will ask someone to polish this manuscript later. Of course, I will consult Ms. Mori's opinion after I finish it, and then I will start the serialization."

"It's really rare to find a reasonable writer like Ms. Maori. Some writers' requests are very troublesome."

"For example, in the works of Mr. Ren Taro, who is currently being serialized, he asked us not to change a single word of his manuscript, even if there are typos, and even the typesetting is not allowed to be changed. It is really difficult, alas... ..."

Conan's attention was instantly diverted, can't change a word?Typesetting can not be changed?
Wait, 1/2 vertices?
Conan hurriedly lowered his head to look at the magazine in his hand, and soon found out that the numbers in the novel were a mixture of numbers and words, and he specifically requested that the typesetting not be moved...

Lightning flashed across his mind, and Conan understood instantly, and then looked at the novel, and quickly deciphered the hidden information in the first episode.

【Please save me quickly】

"!!!" Conan's eyes widened in an instant, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Hanyu Qingan, so, he had already seen it?
"Brother Hanyu, the remaining magazines..."

Before Conan finished speaking, the editor over there suddenly said: "I wonder if Ms. Mori has the contact information of that Kudo Shinichi? If you want to serialize, it's best to confirm with the other party and sign the other party's name, so as not to be caught People misunderstand."

Mao Lilan nodded, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, "I have his phone number, just wait a moment, I'll call him right away..."

Conan quickly covered his chest, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

After getting the mobile phone, he did exchange phone numbers with Xiaolan, but because they were used to chatting online via email, they still prefer to communicate in text, so they never called.

The text chat is more relaxing, but if it is changed to the phone, both of them are a bit cramped, but they don't know what to talk about.

Conan hurriedly clutched the pocket where the phone was hidden, rushed out the door, and ran to the corridor outside. Before he could find the toilet, the phone started vibrating.

Looking around, Conan was a little impatient. He didn't know where the toilet was in this place, so he had to find a stairwell that looked abandoned, and ran in to answer the phone.

This building is also old and has gone through a special period, so the planned traffic routes are also intricate. Like the previous TV station building, there are several stairs alone, some of which have been abandoned for many years.

"Moxi, Moxi, Xiaolan, what's the matter?"

……

Ten minutes later, Conan put down the phone and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He almost died of fright, and spent a long time trying to persuade the editor not to sign his name.

However, the editor's attitude was very firm, and he kept talking about the law, trying to persuade him, which made Conan very tired.

In the end, he had an idea and said that he could sign a pseudonym, and at the same time requested that no personal information about him be published in the magazine.

This request is reasonable, reasonable and legal, and no matter how unwilling the editor is, he has no choice but to agree.

As for the pen name... Conan chuckled, he chose "Sleeping Detective" for himself, deliberately drawing readers' thinking to Uncle Maori, perfect~

This is also the place where the editor chokes the most.

The signing of the final contract was carried out later by fax. Conan let out a sigh of relief and finally got through today's small crisis.

"Little brother, are you lost? Why did you come here?"

A female voice sounded, which surprised Conan. He was so absorbed in it just now that he didn't realize that someone had walked behind him, and the other party was wearing high heels!
Conan quickly put on the child's appearance, "I'm playing hide-and-seek~ big sister, why did you come up from here? Isn't the staircase here already abandoned?"

"Ah, I'm just... used to it."
