Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 80

When they arrived at the publishing house, someone led Su Qingdai and Su Qingdai to an office, saying that the editor was busy and asked them to wait.

After sitting down, I waited for more than half an hour, and I didn't even serve a glass of water during the period.Su Qingdai frowned, looking at her nose and heart.

Soon, the door of the office opened.Su Qingdai looked up, and saw a woman holding a coffee cup, standing at the door and looking inside.

She answered the call from Su Mo'er, a girl with a sweet voice.Looking at the people sitting in the room now, it is obvious that the middle-aged man sitting on one side cannot be the author, but apart from the man, there is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl left in the room.

She froze for a moment, then asked, "Are you the author of that "Miracle"?"

Su Qingdai nodded, she could already recognize this woman's voice, it was the person who hung up her phone in the morning.

"Hmph, that guy is lucky! He finally got a deal!" The woman scrutinized Su Qingdai unequivocally, and then grinned, "How old are you, little girl?"

"13 years old." Su Qingdai replied honestly, with a meek look.

"13 years old, yo, it's amazing, you can write novels, what about the rest of the manuscript, show me." The woman made a gesture and was about to come up.

Su Qingdai stepped back casually to avoid her, with a distant and indifferent smile on her face, "Sorry, I can't show you my manuscript."

The woman's complexion suddenly became ugly, and she stared at Su Qingdai: "You damn girl, do you know what you are talking about?! Let me tell you, I want to read your manuscript to save face! Don't give me shame! Face!"

Su Qingdai saw that woman's face was torn apart all of a sudden, and she frowned and looked at her coldly.

"What's wrong?" A man suddenly broke in from outside the house, saw the scolding woman, and reprimanded unhappily, "Why did you come to my office?! Are you trying to grab the manuscript again?"

The woman was caught swearing, and was pointed out by this man, she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment: "Hmph, it's better for me to steal manuscripts than you to cheat manuscripts!"

The woman snorted coldly and rushed out as if no one else was there.Sheng Qi looked a little embarrassed when he heard the words of the cheating manuscript, and glanced at Su Qingdai in a panic, seeing that she didn't seem to have any reaction, he was relieved immediately.

"Your name is Su Mo'er?" Sheng Qi asked.

Su Qingdai nodded, watching an obscure play, combined with Sun Qiang's unnaturalness and the woman's words, she already guessed in her mind what the publishing house was doing.She didn't want to waste time here anymore, such a publishing house made it impossible for her to stay any longer.

"It's like this. We read your previous manuscript and thought it was very good. However, there are still some minor problems in publishing, so I want you to show us the manuscript. Although there are not many people in the editorial department, they are all capable people. , can help you revise the typesetting. Have you brought the manuscript?"

Sheng Qi looked at the little girl standing in front of him, and felt a little curious and shocked. Is this the author of "Miracle"?The author who can write such an excellent work is actually an underage cardamom girl.

I have to admit that he has been in the publishing house for several years, and this is the first time he has read a martial arts novel with a sense of unfinished business.The book is built on top of each other, and each chapter is fascinating, unconsciously guessing what the next plot will be.This novel is undoubtedly a very successful novel.

However, he does not intend to give up his previous plan. Even if it is an excellent work without fame, their publishing house does not dare to take risks.But it is different for works titled by famous artists. An excellent book like "Miracle", coupled with celebrity effects, will definitely achieve amazing results!He couldn't hide his excitement when he thought that the next month would be his breakthrough performance.

Su Qingdai sneered in her heart, the reason was really high-sounding.Since you want to modify the typesetting, why don't you just say copy it, and I have to bring the manuscript?Isn't this lying to children?If I hand over the manuscript to you, it is equivalent to giving up all the copyrights.If you change the name of the author to publish, even the royalties are not mine.

Seeing that Su Qingdai was silent, Sheng Qi thought she agreed, and couldn't help being overjoyed, and asked directly, "Did you bring the manuscript? Give it to me."

Su Qingdai looked at him coldly, Sheng Qi felt a little strange, thinking that the girl didn't understand, and saw that the cowhide book bag beside her seemed to be bulging, it should be those manuscripts, so he stretched out his hand and I'm going to fetch it.

Where can Su Qingdai let him get it?He held the bag in his arms before he even touched it.

"Mr. Sheng, I'm here to discuss the contract. If your publishing house doesn't even understand this, do you need me to remind you? Since it is going to be published, is there a proposed contract? I will hand over the manuscript to you, will you understand?" Guarantee my rights and interests? How will my royalties be calculated, how many copies of my book will be handprinted? You haven’t clarified these, so why do you ask for the manuscript?” Su Qingdai’s voice was cold, and she looked at the livid-faced man like a clown man.

"The matter of the contract is naturally to be discussed when it is published! If you don't hand over the manuscript to me, how will I know whether your book is written by yourself? And how will I know whether the later part of your book is suitable for publication?"

Sheng Qi saw that Su Qingdai talked about the copyright issue in every way, so it seemed that he was not a bully.Suddenly, I was startled, this little girl doesn't look very old, why is she so difficult?As soon as he opened his mouth, he hit the nail on the head. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get those manuscripts.

"In that case, I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng." Su Qingdai stood up, not wanting to entangle her any longer, and walked directly to the door, "Uncle Sun, let's go."

Seeing that Su Qingdai was leaving, Sheng Qi might lose the manuscript, and his boast about Haikou would become the laughing stock of the office.In a moment of impatience, he rushed forward and grabbed Su Qingdai's arm: "You can't go! The manuscript hasn't been handed over yet!"

Su Qingdai was staggered by him, feeling angry, she dodged Sheng Qi's hand, and said angrily: "Mr. Sheng! How to deal with my manuscript is my freedom, please respect yourself!"

"You... If you don't hand in your manuscript today, don't even think about leaving this door!" The man was also anxious, and he stretched his head towards the door and snapped his fingers, and several men in the office surrounded him and blocked the door. .

Sheng Qi looked at Su Qingdai and Sun Qiang with a distorted expression, Su Qingdai was also surprised by the hideous look.It seems that this person is ready to come for real!Su Qingdai couldn't help but feel a little worried, this publishing house is simply a den of wolves, and they actually want to force people to hand over the manuscript!

When Sun Qiang saw the few people blocking the door, he immediately became furious. This is simply too deceiving!This publishing house turned out to be such a fraudulent manuscript!When he thought about Su Yatou coming by herself, he couldn't help feeling a little scared.Even if he couldn't deal with it alone, if Su Yatou was blocked by this man, wouldn't she suffer a dark loss?

Without further ado, he took out his big brother from his bag and made a phone call.

"I said Li Chunjiang! What's going on with your publishing house! I'm blocked by your employees!"

Sheng Qi originally thought that those manuscripts were already in his pocket, but unexpectedly, there were side effects.He stared blankly at Sun Qiang taking out the phone, and then angrily cursed at the other end of the phone, and the person being scolded seemed to be called Li Chunjiang.

Li Chunjiang? !Sheng Qi was horrified and looked at Sun Qiang in disbelief. This person actually knew the boss? !And that tone is very familiar!
How could this be?Sheng Qi's face turned blue and pale for a while, looking at Su Qingdai and Sun Qiang standing in the room, a little at a loss.This matter has exceeded his expectations, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

The manuscripts he lied to new writers were well known in the office, but he had never been encountered by the boss.So he doesn't know how the boss thinks about this matter.

But now it's obvious that he doesn't need to mess around anymore. He put his idea on the boss' friend. Although the boss has bad conduct, he treats his friend very proudly.

He was thinking about what to do when the phone in the office rang, and he answered it tremblingly. Li Chunjiang's loud voice had already started to curse on the other end: "I heard you blocked people in the office?! Did you fucking Brain! Why do you dare to mess with anyone?! You treated me well, and I will be here soon..."

Before the voice finished, the phone was hung up.Sheng Qi broke out in a cold sweat, and smiled awkwardly: "This...Su Moer, you... so you know our boss?"

Su Qingdai was also a little surprised, unexpectedly, Sun Qiang knew the owner of Chunjiang Publishing House.Originally, she thought that today's matter might not be good, but seeing the series of actions of Sun Qiang picking up the phone and cursing people, and then seeing Sheng Qi's grandson looking as embarrassed, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Mr. Sheng, you'd better let us go out! This office is too small, it makes people panic!" Su Qingdai didn't have a good face.If anyone who has encountered such a thing can still have a good mood, then he is really calm.

Sheng Qi also felt that the current situation was very strange, and immediately signaled the people blocking the door to get out of the way, and hurriedly invited Su Qingdai and Sun Qiang out.

Several editors in the office saw that Sheng Qi led Su Qingdai and Sun Qiang to the reception room tremblingly, and called the little sister to put on a handicap.That respectful look surprised everyone, even the woman who entered the office looked at him inexplicably.

"What's wrong with Sheng Qi?" Several women got together and started gossiping.

"I heard from the people who blocked the door that he kicked the iron plate this time! That little girl seems to have a lot of background, and it is said that she knows our boss. The boss heard that he was blocking people in the office, so he got angry. He said he would come in a while!"

"Hmph, it deserves it, I just can't stand his arrogant and domineering appearance! Isn't he just a softie? After hooking up with the editor-in-chief, I thought he was a real charmer! What a jerk! Now the boss is coming, I'll see what he does!"

"What can I do, I can't eat it! I think the boss is serious this time, you all be careful, don't get caught!"

"..."

People outside the door were talking about it, but Su Qingdai couldn't help it, she ate and drank tea slowly, and she felt angry when she saw Sheng Qi carefully apologizing beside her.

If Sun Qiang hadn't recognized the boss of the publishing house, they might not know what they would be like now.She is a little girl with no strength to restrain a chicken, and Sun Qiangyou is a fat man who can't move very quickly. If those few people forcibly snatch the manuscript, she may really just sit back and watch the manuscript being snatched away.

Thinking of this, Su Qingdai made up her mind, even if that Li Chunjiang came later, she would not choose to publish her novels in this publishing house!
