I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 268 Mr. A, do you know "The Bird in the Cage"?

"sough……"

In the living room, the open window blows the wind into the house,
It was already evening outside, Ji Zhuo lay on the sofa and paralyzed for a while,
I started to feel sleepy, and then simply took a nap.

Now that he woke up, because of the hot weather, Ji Zhuo turned over and sat up, facing the cool evening wind outside the window.

just fell asleep

He actually had a dream in broad daylight,

In the dream, I dreamed of a little girl who was squatting on the ground and folding stars, and then the stars were hung up by her in the sky... The dream is probably so absurd,

Afterwards, Ji Zhuo forgot about it, and now that he woke up, he just felt...why don't we update it every day?

Look at what I think in Japanese, I have dreams at night, this dream reflects my diligence!
"Ah~"

Ji Zhuo's thoughts drifted wildly, and he yawned again.

"Gollum..."

The rumbling hunger urged him to get up again, he probably woke up from hunger.

But he had to wait a little longer, and made an appointment with logistics to come to the door.
The two thousand copies of the "Epic of the Empire" autographed books were sent out... Well, he finally signed the two thousand copies of the "Epic of the Empire" last night.

For a period of time, he didn't want to sign anymore, and he couldn't say anything!

"Dong dong..."

"Mr. Ji, logistics. Come pick up the goods."

Ji Zhuo opened the door.

"...Eh... You really have a lot of things..."

Several logistics guys went back and forth several times before moving the twenty boxes of books down.

After moving out, the whole house seemed empty.

……

"His...hiss..."

"Ji Zhuo! Tell me why every time I order something spicy, it's me who suffers in the end!"

For dinner, Ji Zhuo ate with Yun Qingmu as usual.

I made an appointment at a hot pot restaurant.

Probably to retaliate against Ji Zhuo for stuffing a knife in the book and ordered a very spicy pot bottom.

But Ji Zhuo was eating normally, but his forehead was a little sweaty,

On the contrary, Yun Qingmu hissed once, gasping for breath non-stop,
"...Haven't you noticed? I can eat spicy food, but you are the one who can't eat spicy food."

While talking, Ji Zhuo picked up the meat from the pot with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"...huh...huchi,huchi...you..."

"...If it's too spicy, why don't you add a clear soup pot?"

"Need not!"

Yun Qingmu's snot was about to come out, and she kept breathing.

But he firmly rejected Ji Zhuo's proposal.

This damn stubbornness, this damn desire to win.

Ji Zhuo took a look and his mouth felt hot as if he had put on lipstick again.
I didn't say anything more,

He lowered his head and picked up his phone, continuing to send messages.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Editor-in-Chief Lou, I have already negotiated with Shiyue Novel on the issue of copyright.

Clumsy and extraordinary: I can authorize the overseas publishing rights of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" to your publishing house.

Editor-in-Chief Lou of Delwin Publishing House: Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your trust in our publishing house, thank you.

Editor-in-Chief Lou: We will definitely not disappoint your work. "

the other side,
Editor Lou, who is still working overtime at the publishing house,
Seeing the news of Ji Zhuo's return,

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

I waited almost two days for Ji Zhuo's reply, during which time I was afraid that Ji Zhuo's novels would be cut off by other publishers.

Editor-in-Chief Lou felt a little anxious.

As a result, I was a little excited when I received Ji Zhuo's affirmative reply.

"Editor-in-chief Lou: We will try our best to promote your work worldwide, so that your work can achieve the same excellent results overseas, just like the previous "Caged Bird".

Editor-in-Chief Lou: In addition, if Mr. Ji intends to publish overseas editions of other works, I also hope that Mr. Ji will give more consideration to our publishing house.

Clumsy and extraordinary: definitely. "

After a few polite sentences with Editor-in-Chief Lou, Ji Zhuo ended his communication with Editor-in-Chief Lou.

As for the specific royalty sharing of the licensing contract, we have to discuss it again.

But for this matter, it was Editor-in-Chief Lou who was anxious, not Ji Zhuo.

"...Ji Zhuo, who are you talking about?"

It may be that the bottom of the pot is too spicy, or it may be that Ji Zhuo seems to be sending a message,

Yun Qingmu, who was sitting across from her, finally stopped her chopsticks, raised her head and asked Ji Zhuo curiously,
"The editors of Delwin Publishing House are the publishing houses that published the overseas edition of "The Caged Bird". They want to publish the overseas editions of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand."

"The Hour Hand and Seven Days of Hell will also be released overseas?"

Yun Qingmu's eyes lit up.

"Yes, but the overseas version, what are you surprised about?"

"I'm glad the dog author's book has more readers, isn't it?"

Yun Qingmu snorted and said.

"Okay, okay... so happy, I won't eat two more slices of meat to celebrate."

"I want to change the bottom of the clear soup pot now...can't I?"

"……also……"

……

After dinner with Yun Qingmu, there was no other arrangement.

They each went home.

Ji Zhuo walked along the side of the street,

I happened to pass by the place where the owner of the barbecue stall set up his stall.
The original owner of the barbecue stall opened his shop, and it was vacant for a few days, and now a new stall has taken up the place, a snack seller.

Ji Zhuo also glanced at the stall owner, he was probably a young man.

Turn around again, and keep going.

……

Arrived in the district.

I didn’t see Xiaopangdun today. I don’t know if he followed his grandma out to do square dancing.

It's still too late, I've already gone back.

Ji Zhuo reckoned it should be the latter, after all, Xiaopangdun doesn't seem like a person who likes sports.

"Ding dong."

Ji Zhuo received another message.

"Squid: Boss is amazing! Boss is now a shareholder of Feimo Novel, which makes me want to go to Feimo Novel."

Squid sent a message,
Maybe you saw the news?

I looked at the congratulations sent by several people.

Probably.

Although Ji Zhuo found it troublesome, he didn't hold the signing ceremony in the end.

But related news reports and publicity, there must be no shortage of non-ink novels.

This Ji Zhuo has no objection, after all, Fei Mo Novels gave him shares, isn't it for this reason.

"Clumsy and uncommon: You're welcome, you're welcome. Boss, come here, and the editor-in-chief of the novel I started to read must not be torn in two by me.

Squid: Then how dare he, the boss is much more important than me. "

After exchanging a few business words, Ji Zhuo was about to put down his phone,

But another message came,

I have to go back.

"Carol: Mr. A, the winning works and winners of the Europa Prize for Literature have been announced! Mr. A, have you noticed!

Carol: You officially won the Europa Prize for Best Novel!Same as we knew before! "

Winners announced?
Ji Zhuo really didn't know.

Looking at the news, I can feel Carol's excitement,
"carol: The publishing house also took advantage of the opportunity to announce the release time of various language versions including the Chinese version. Just after the awards ceremony.

Carol: Mr. A, this is your first award for this work, but believe me, believe in your work, this is just the beginning!
Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you Mr. Carroll for the compliment. "

Regarding Carol's words, Ji Zhuo's mood did not fluctuate, and he replied politely,

Then I received a bunch of fanatical praise from Carol.

But after the frenzy ended,

At the end of the exchange, Carol casually asked about Ji Zhuo,

Ji Zhuo was stunned by some questions.

"Carol: Mr. A, do you know "The Bird in the Cage"? Its author is also a Chinese writer like you.

carol: His works have also set off a lot of waves overseas.do you know him

Clumsy and Uncommon: Hmm...you also want to publish his works?
Carol: Mr. A, don't misunderstand me. Of course, our publishing house mainly publishes your works, and the works of this author are not as good as yours... We just want to publish some other works in our spare time.

Carol: Damn it, the bastards at Delwin Publishing kept the author's identity a secret, and they didn't want to reveal any information to us colleagues..."

Ji Zhuo looked at Carol's news,

A little silent... I feel that my vest is not far from being exposed.
