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

Chapter 13 Chapter 013 Who says the extraterritorial demon can’t be considered a newcomer?

Yang Shuman is not a veteran editor and has a limited number of contracted authors under her.

She only has twelve authors and works that meet the requirements for the Star Cup.

Of these twelve books, only six were reviewed by the editor-in-chief and finally handed over to the chief editor.

Editor-in-Chief Susan looked up at Yang Shuman and said in her usual calm tone:

“Three books passed the final review.”

An editor who has worked at Xingtian for a year and a half, not to mention winning any awards, has only a few contracted authors who are eligible to participate in the Xingyao Cup.

There are only three of them in total?

It has to be said that Yang Shuman did fail as an editor.

You know, other editors-in-charge have to review and approve the signing list reported to the editor-in-chief Susan.

Not everyone has two or three hundred books, but at least—

There are probably fifty or sixty copies.

After working for more than a year, I only have these few contracted authors. It can be seen that——

Yang Shuman's editing work is indeed not very good.

As if she knew her own shortcomings, Yang Shuman nodded to the editor-in-chief Susan with a guilty conscience:

"Okay, editor-in-chief, I understand!"

"I will contact the contracted authors who have passed the final review."

Just as Yang Shuman turned around and was about to leave the office, Susan flipped through the registration form in her hand and spoke to her softly without raising her head:
"Shuman, you know that if your performance is at the bottom again this month, the Assessment Department will issue you a dismissal notice, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Shuman was stunned for a moment.
The slender hand that was originally intended to reach out to open the door also froze in mid-air.

The expression on her face was a little embarrassed.

Obviously, she was very clear that she would be fired if her performance did not meet the standards.

"Editor, the most important thing is to do your job well. For chores like serving tea and receiving and sending parcels, the editors-in-chief can just ask an aunt to do it. You don't need to do everything yourself. This is not part of your job responsibilities." Editor-in-chief Susan's tone was very light, and at the same time, her words contained absolute unquestionable. "I have some new authors on my desk who have potential. Take the list and contact them one by one."

"As long as three of your contracted authors rank among the top 100 in this Xingyao Cup, your performance review for this month will be considered up to standard."

Hearing what Chief Editor Susan said, Yang Shuman's eyes became moist and she was slightly moved.

She didn't expect that the editor-in-chief, who was always demanding, would actually use her own resources to help her achieve her performance goals?

"Editor-in-Chief, I..." Yang Shuman's eyes flickered slightly, and she was about to thank Susan, "I really..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Susan interrupted her with a casual remark:

"Okay, let's get busy first."

Chenghai Drama Academy, literary theory tutorial class.

Jiang Hai was sitting by the window, typing on the tablet in his hand with great concentration.

College classes are different from high school classes. As long as you don't smoke or drink in class to disrupt the order of the class, then generally -

There is no teacher to take care of you.

Although Jiang Hai did not attend four courses in the university classroom.

No professional courses, no required courses, no elective courses, and no general education courses.

However, he cannot be too presumptuous.

There is nothing wrong with skipping classes every other day. After all, Jiang Hai is a poor student and not many teachers care about him.

But I kept skipping classes, not going to class once a week.
This is more or less a bit too much.

In order to keep my credits and avoid being expelled from school, I wanted to go to the library to find a quiet place to write, but due to the relationship, I ended up -

He still came to the classroom with the tablet.

Since receiving the signing information from the backstage last night, Jiang Hai has started to sort out the general outline of "The Poor Ghost's Two Thousand Years" in his mind. Although this is a traditional online novel, its writing is quite delicate, its IQ and logic are online, and its unique narrative style makes it a unique historical novel.

In addition to the ups and downs of the plot of this book itself,

Jiang Hai reflected on it.

If he were to start serializing online novels, he would have one biggest advantage -

That's fast!

He can update 30,000 words a day while ensuring the quality of his articles.

While other writers of the same period were only writing 4,000 to 6,000 words a day, he could write 20,000 to 30,000 words a day with his incredibly fast brain and hand speed.

Although this is the second day of the serialization of the historical article "The Poor Ghost's Two Thousand Years", this book——

The serialized word count has exceeded 70,000!

In fact, for Jiang Hai, whether to participate in the Xingyao Cup or any other competitions -

It doesn't matter at all!
What he wanted to do most was to have his novels read by more people, and then use the exposure of the novels to collect a considerable amount of depression points for him, so that he could exchange them for other novels in the system.

Just when Jiang Hai was concentrating on his own creation.

Chu Tianjiao and Yang Wei, who were not far away, seemed to be discussing something in a low voice with students from other classes in the classroom.

"Have you heard that the Xingyao Cup is about to start! Many students in our Chinese department are planning to go and try their luck!"

"Xingyao Cup? Is it the online literature competition held by Xingtian Chinese Network?"

"No way, with the likes of us in the department, how can anyone write a good novel?"

"Don't blame others for your inability if you can't do it! We still have many talented students in the Chinese department! Besides, who says you can't write a book if you can't write a novel? Even if you don't get any ranking, it's good to participate in the competition and broaden your horizons!"

"Hey, do you know? I heard a few days ago that Shen Yue was asked by the editor-in-chief of Xingtian Chinese website to write an article! Now the first draft has been approved, and it seems that Shen Yue will also participate in this Xingyao Cup competition!"

"Shen Yue? Didn't she write physical books before? How come she, who wrote physical books, suddenly started writing online novels?"

"Who said that people who write physical books can't write online articles?"

Originally, the entertainment industry in this country is relatively developed.

It cannot be said that Xingtian Chinese website is known to everyone, but at least, anyone who has read novels related to this field should know it.

In addition, these students are from the Chinese Department, so it is normal for them to know about the competitions on these literary websites.

Chu Tianjiao couldn't believe the news he heard:

"Shen Yue, was actually asked by the editor-in-chief of Xingtian Chinese website to write an article? Is she that amazing?"

"What do you think?" Shen Yue's roommate Mu Tingting looked at Chu Tianjiao with a smug look on her face. "Yueyue stayed up all night talking to the editor-in-chief on the phone to revise the manuscript! That's why she didn't get up to attend class today. Didn't you see that she didn't come to class today?"

"Yueyue said that her goal for the Starry Cup this time is to be in the top 50! As long as she can get a place in the top 50 of the Starry Cup, it will be considered a success!"

Although I don't have much interaction with this cool classmate Shen Yue,
However, Chu Tianjiao was very clear about Shen Yue's strength.

This Shen Yue is a big name who published modern books when she was a freshman in college, with sales of hundreds of thousands of copies!
Although she is only a sophomore now, Shen Yue is already considered a talented newcomer in the literary world!

Even someone as proud as Shen Yue, when participating in the Xingyao Cup organized by Xingtian Chinese Network, her goal is only to be in the top 50?
The authors above the top fifty.
How terrifying is this strength?
The more Chu Tianjiao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong:

"The prerequisite for participating in the Xingyao Cup is that the author himself must be a newcomer in the field of online literature and have never signed an online novel before."

"But to be fair, can a writer like Shen Yue, who has already published a book, also participate in the Xingyao Cup?"

"Can she be considered a newcomer?"

Facing Chu Tianjiao's questioning, Mu Tingting directly revealed the secret:
"Although Shen Yue is a relatively well-known published writer in the traditional publishing industry, who says that in the online literature industry—"

"She's not really a newbie, is she?"

"Don't forget, Shen Yue has never had any contracted works in the field of online literature."
