I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 322 Is This Your Friend?

There was a long silence,

On the opposite side of the video call, Zhang Mingguo's slightly opened mouth closed again.

Then looking at Ji Zhuo, he couldn't help but say,

"Mr. Ji, you look a little familiar."

Could it be that he is not familiar? He has also watched the video of the author of the dog accepting the award before, and he is still very impressed with the author of the dog.

While talking, Zhang Mingguo paused again,
"That's what you say, I have a friend?"

Ji Zhuo was still a little silent to Zhang Mingguo on the other end of the video call.

"...Mr. Ji, I really didn't expect that ABC is also you."

"At first, I thought that ABC was really Mr. Ji's friend... I didn't expect that you, Mr. Ji, are actually ABC."

"Two excellent and famous writers. When the works were released overseas, readers fought against each other and fought with each other... I didn't expect it to be the same writer!"

While talking, Zhang Mingguo became a little excited again,
Purely as a dog author and ABC reader, he couldn't help being a little excited,
repeatedly said,
"The dog author and ABC are the same person, the dog author and ABC are the same person!"

Zhang Mingguo said excitedly and excitedly,

"Cough...Mr. Zhang, can you please keep it a secret and don't tell others for now?"

Now that his identity was exposed in front of Zhang Mingguo, Ji Zhuo could only ask for this.

"Okay, okay...I'll keep it a secret for you. I won't tell the old Xu on the textbook editing team. Haha, when the time comes, when you announce it, I want to see what his expression will be."

Zhang Mingguo thought much more straightforwardly than Ji Zhuo, and agreed immediately.
He couldn't help laughing while talking.

This is also a fun person gene.

"...Don't worry, Mr. Ji, I won't tell anyone... Haha... I really didn't expect it to be the same person."

Hearing Zhang Mingguo's decisive agreement, Ji Zhuo was relieved.

This matter was barely resolved, and the ABC identity leak crisis was barely over.

As for how long we can hide it, we will talk about it at that time, at least pass the time of this new book release.

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang."

"No, no, it should be... I really thought of it, the two writers who are friends and rivals, the two writers who almost lost their minds after fighting, turned out to be the same person... Cough cough, I'm sorry, I lost my composure .”

After talking too much, Zhang Mingguo gave a dry cough and restrained his expression a little.

Seeing Zhang Mingguo's exaggerated reaction, Ji Zhuo could only remain silent.

"Mr. Ji, you know, before I saw the tit-for-tat confrontation between the 'dog author' and the readers of 'ABC' on the Internet, and I was still struggling with who to support. I don't know what your readers will be after they know about it. expression."

"Maybe you will be shocked? Haha..."

Zhang Mingguo couldn't help laughing,

Ji Zhuo was a little numb, his scalp was numb.

He watched Zhang Mingguo laugh for a while, and then Zhang Mingguo finally stopped his excitement.

"Mr. Ji, I'm bothering you this time. I'm sorry, I really lost my composure just now. It's your identity that surprised me."

"Don't worry, I will keep your identity secret until you reveal your identity. I will never let others know."

"Thank you."

"That one won't bother you, Mr. Ji."

Finished the phone call with Zhang Mingguo.

Ji Zhuo let out a long breath.

Paused.

well enough,
Although Zhang Mingguo of the cultural department knew his identity,
But at least this crisis has passed, and his identity information should not be exposed to others in a short time.

Ji Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief,

Throwing the phone aside, he got up from bed.I went to wash up.

……

On the other side, Zhang Mingguo, who finished talking with Ji Zhuo,

Still a little excited, people in their teens can't help being a little excited when they think that the author of the dog and ABC are the same person.

His impression of ABC's speculation before, just like most readers,
A friend of the dog author, maybe a friend of the dog author.

In the end, it turned out to be the same person.

Previously, the selection of the Goncourt Literary Prize was divided into two groups because of the works of these two writers.

From time to time, there are reviewers who support the author of the dog insisting not to recognize the Goncourt Literature Prize this time, discussing with each other,

Can't wait to duel offline.

If only they knew how the two writers they support are the same person, how would they think and react.

And those readers.

Domestically, the debate between the readers of the two writers is still not very intense.
Overseas, readers are fighting each other, you come and go.

Not giving in to each other, no one wants to be half a head lower than the other.

Yes, maybe the writers you support have good works, but the best ones are the works of my dog ​​author/ABC!
and also,

two publishers,
Do Delwin Publishing House and Burt Publishing House know the real identities of the two writers.

Bert Press does not know,

But there is a high probability that Delwin Publishing House does not know that the author of the dog is ABC.

The author's works were first published overseas, and he recommended them to the editor-in-chief Lou of Delwin Publishing House.
If you know, you will probably tell him.

Not sure, if it is the same as him, it must be kept secret.

Ok……

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingguo couldn't help showing some smiles on his face.

He really didn't expect,

But when I think about it now, I feel a little bit suddenly enlightened,

In fact, the dog author and ABC are the same person, which is quite obvious.

The same domestic writers, the same works are so excellent, but the two of them are still friends,

Actually it was a coincidence.

Just because ABC's works were published abroad from the very beginning,

Let readers subconsciously ignore this possibility.

Coupled with the tit-for-tat confrontation between the author of the dog behind and ABC, the readers on both sides make people even less likely to think about it.

but,

Now he knows.

Some smiles appeared on Zhang Mingguo's face.

No one else knew, but he did.

This feeling... seems to be pretty good.

Thinking about it, Zhang Mingguo turned his head again, thought for a while,
Send a message to that editor Xu.

"Zhang Mingguo: Old Xu, I have already contacted that ABC.

Editor Xu: Well, who is ABC?Is it a famous domestic writer?Any questions?

Zhang Mingguo: No problem, no problem at all, don't worry, there is no problem with ABC's identity.

Editor Xu: So the identity of ABC?
Zhang Minguo: Sorry, people asked me to keep it a secret, I agreed, and I must do what I said.

Editor Xu: ...

Zhang Mingguo: But don't worry, ABC's identity is absolutely fine. You can use the excerpts from "The Seven Sins" without worry.

Editor Xu: ...

Editor Xu: No, I really can’t disclose it... I’m also curious!

Zhang Mingguo: That won’t work, haha, guess what.

Editor Xu: ..."

Seeing the old friend's reaction, Zhang Minguo was very happy.

As for telling him, that is impossible, he knows the secret now,

How can you tell others indiscriminately, and you have promised to keep it secret, so you have to keep it completely secret.

"Zhang Mingguo: It's alright, it's alright, old Xu, go ahead, anyway, I've confirmed the identity of ABC for you, so it's all right.

Editor Xu: ..."

The exchange with Lao Xu ended.

Zhang Mingguo smiled again, then suddenly thought of something,

Paused,
The author of the dog is ABC, isn't it because he was selected into two works at the same time when the textbook was reedited?

But also very good.

Anyway, both works are excellent.

If it weren't for the limitation of the length of the textbook, he would still like to recommend more works.

Thinking about it, Zhang Mingguo smiled again.
