A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 12 Online Literature Competition, the Star Cup begins!
"Shu Man, I still have some work to do here, please go downstairs and buy me a cup of coffee~"

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Xingtian Chinese Network Building, in front of Starbucks.

Editor Yang Shuman was standing in the crowd. Although it was a bright morning, her eyes were filled with sadness.

She is tall and wears a standard professional outfit, a black silk miniskirt paired with high heels that show off her legs, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her round oval face, which makes her whole temperament highlight an intellectual elegance.

Although the attire is that of a workplace elite, the reality is not so.

As a marginal person in the 19th editorial team, when her colleagues were busy preparing for the Xingyao Cup, she was the only one who was busy.

The editor-in-chief sent him downstairs with just one sentence.

Ask her to buy coffee for colleagues.

Let her do the odd jobs for her colleagues.

Although she is also an editor, Yang Shuman feels as if she has never fulfilled her editorial duties. In this team, she is more like a marginal person doing odd jobs in the editing group. Her job responsibilities are not to review manuscripts and guide authors. Her daily work is -

Rather, it is more like a nanny set up to allow the editorial team to work with peace of mind?

Xingtian Chinese website has a total of twenty editorial teams.

From the first group to the twentieth group, each group is equipped with an editor-in-chief, two chief editors, and twenty responsible editors.

These editing teams have a large number of authors under them. No matter they are old masters from other sites or new authors with great potential, there are dedicated contracted editors who are responsible for communicating with them.

Yang Shuman also wanted to be like the other editors in charge of Group 19—

Communicate with the author.

Communicate with the author.

Discuss the outline with the author and sort out the subsequent plot and writing methods for them.
How she wished that she could be like her other colleagues and use her own abilities to train a few talented new writers or even great authors!
However, the result was exactly the opposite.

Since I joined Xingtian and the editorial department of Group 19 over a year ago——

As an editor, Yang Shuman's performance has always been at the bottom.

When other editors communicate with authors.
Yang Shuman is just there to make some cameo appearances.

When other editors were discussing the subsequent plot with the author.
Yang Shuman is just there to make some cameo appearances.

While other editors are training new people, hoping to have a few more great writers under their command to increase their performance.
Yang Shuman is still just playing a supporting role.

It’s not that Yang Shuman doesn’t want to cultivate authors, communicate with them about new books and make achievements.
Whenever Yang Shuman wanted to discover some new authors, she would always encounter various trivial matters that would interfere with or disrupt her plans.

For example, the Xingyao Cup started this time——

Just as the editors in the same group were busy contacting their potential authors, hoping that these authors would publish books at this critical time of the Star Cup to make achievements for them,
Yang Shuman was immediately driven downstairs by the editor-in-chief:

"That. Shuman!"

"Everyone has been very busy during this period. Please go downstairs and buy two cups of coffee for everyone to reward them and wake them up."

In fact, when the editor-in-chief gave her the order, Yang Shuman really wanted to shout to him:
'Others are working, but am I not working?'

'Why should I sacrifice my time to serve them when they are all work?'

"I am also an editor, and I also need to make achievements!"

Even though I really wanted to say this, I swallowed the words back when they came to my lips.

After all, the will is there but the strength is not enough.

For an editor:

If you have great writers under your command and can sign good books, then you will have enough say in the editorial department and no one will dare to bully you.

But if, as an editor——

You don't have any famous or talented writers under your command.

Second, I can’t sign any decent works.

Without achievements, you won’t be able to stand up straight. If you don’t have a straight backbone, you will be easily bullied.

Obviously, Yang Shuman at this time——

We were stuck in a situation that was almost a dead end!
“I can be the last one, but I can’t always be the last one!”

Although she had always been regarded as an insignificant marginal person by the editorial department, Yang Shuman did not give up on herself. After the Xingyao Cup selection competition started, Yang Shuman almost immediately submitted all the works and author information that met the competition requirements.

All submitted to the editor-in-chief for review!

"Others may look down on me, but I must never look down on myself!" As if to cheer herself up, Yang Shuman took a big bite of the bun in her hand, then picked up a dozen cups of coffee packed at the Starbucks counter, took a long step and started walking into the Starbucks Building, "Yang Shuman, believe in yourself, don't be discouraged!"

“You must be the best!”

"Go, go, go, go for me"

The Xingyao Cup is a competition specially set up by Xingtian Chinese Network for potential new writers.

In the entire online literature industry, there has been a saying:

The Xingyao Cup brings together the most promising new writers in the field of online literature.

"Please compile a list of all the books that have been registered by the editors and send it to my email. In addition, I also need a detailed list of the authors. I must confirm that the authors participating in the Xingyao Cup do not have other online works under their names."

Xingtian Chinese website, 19th editorial department.

Editor-in-Chief Susan is expediting the review of the contracted works and author list participating in this Star Cup.

Whether an online literary work can participate in the Xingyao Cup depends on two factors:

First, whether this online writing work is the first book under the name of the participating author.

Second, whether the quality of this online literary work is up to standard or not.

Since the Star Cup is a competition specially held for new authors——

Naturally, any author who has other contracted online works under his or her ID card name is not eligible to participate in this competition.

In addition, on this basis, editors are also needed to control the quality of the article content.

The reason why online literature is called literature is that the subject matter of the novel cannot be too monotonous or vulgar.

Traditionally cool themes like "Ultraman's Son-in-law" and "The Return of the God of War" will never pass the review.

Online works participating in the Xingyao Cup——

They must have their own unique literary qualities!
The 19th Editorial Department has a total of 20 editors, and each editor has a subordinate -

They all have thousands or even tens of thousands of contracted authors.

As the editor-in-chief of the 19th group's screenwriting department, Susan is responsible for reviewing the list of authors submitted by each editor for the Star Cup.

The amount of this task is indeed quite huge.

"Editor-in-Chief, your coffee." Yang Shuman placed a cup of American latte next to Editor-in-Chief Susan, and then stood quietly by the side waiting.

"Thank you." Editor-in-chief Susan didn't even raise her head, and was busy reviewing the list of authors submitted by other editors.

As if hesitant, he wandered for a while.

Yang Shuman mustered up her courage and asked the editor-in-chief Susan:

"Editor-in-Chief, have you reviewed the list of participating authors that I submitted this morning?"
