Chapter 16 016. One step away

"What is this?" Gu Yuanzhen snatched the manuscript from Qin Yunchu's hand.

He Shiying also moved her head together, and the two of them read the manuscript paper together.

After watching for a while, both hands trembled.

"From what I read just now, this is the rejection letter of "The Swordsman of Passionate Swordsman"." Qin Yunchu said, "I don't need to read the back to know that it must be the manuscript of "The Swordsman of Passionate Swordsman."

Although Gu Yuanzhen was very unwilling, she did say a good thing.

After turning over that page, on the yellowed manuscript paper attached to the back, there were several large characters written in black water-based pen on it:

"Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword"

ancient cage

He Shiying picked up the attached piece of paper and made a new discovery:

"Look, look! Look at this!"

On the manuscript paper in her hand, there was a passage:

"Jianghai Publishing House, hello!
"I am a writer of martial arts novels, and Gu Long is my pen name.

"At present, this manuscript is only a quarter of the overall content. I am not very good at creating with paper and pen, and I can only write so much at most. My hands are too tired.

"I have heard about your company for a long time, I hope that after reading this manuscript, you can advance the royalties in advance, or you can pay a sum of more than 5000 yuan in advance in the name of a deposit.

"If you can, 1 is better.

"I am in urgent need of money at the moment. If it is convenient, I would be very grateful."

At the bottom of the whole sentence, there are two words "Ancient Cage", as well as personal contact address and contact information.

"What kind of publishing house is Jianghai Publishing House? Why haven't I heard of it?" Gu Yuanzhen raised her head and asked.

He Shiying said: "This publishing house is quite famous, right? It used to be a leader in the industry, but then it gradually declined. Now it only publishes some reference books and teaching aids."

Gu Yuanzhen glanced at this passage again, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Look, he speaks in such a tone as if Jianghai Publishing House will definitely get his book, and he has even thought about paying the deposit in advance. It's crazy."

Qin Yunchu rolled his temples: "Judging from the popularity of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" later, he is indeed qualified to be crazy."

"However, he was rejected." Gu Yuanzhen couldn't help laughing, "If you talk about this, it will definitely be on the top of the trending list, 'Gu Cage Black History, Confident Submission was rejected, and it was ruthlessly criticized ',Ha ha ha ha……"

He Shiying glared at him and said, "I don't know whose black history it is! Could it be that the publishing house has blind eyes?"

"Indeed." Qin Yunchu took the manuscript and said, "Later, he changed his publishing house, and this book immediately became a hit, and even set off a ten-year martial arts craze. If Jianghai Publishing House had accepted this book, it would not It will fall to the point where we can only publish supplementary books.”

Gu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, then sighed heavily.

Although he was unwilling to face it, he had already found key evidence, and no matter how he tried to avoid it, he couldn't escape it.

"This is... a real hammer, right?"

Everyone stood there for a moment.

Not far away, Xiao Yingying, who was quietly reading the picture book, suddenly closed the book, picked up the book, stepped on the wooden floor with her little feet, and ran to the side of the bookcase.

She stood on tiptoe and put the picture book back to its original place. Then, she took out a new picture book, held it in her arms, and ran back to the place where she was lying on her stomach just now, like a lamb on the prairie, nestling back into a warm grass nest , sighed contentedly.

Liu Ruyan turned around and hugged Xiao Yingying, saying: "Don't keep reading, it hurts your eyes, go out and bask in the sun more often."

After sending Xiao Yingying out, Liu Ruyan came back and closed the door behind her.

She was also curious about Chen Ya's real identity.

The exposure of this manuscript is basically equivalent to the fact that Chen Ya is an ancient cage.

Qin Yunchu, He Shiying and the others looked at each other in blank dismay.

"No, no, it's unreasonable." Gu Yuanzhen said firmly, "It's not a solid shot."

He Shiying looked at him with some surprise: "Isn't this considered solid?"

"The one who took out the manuscript before was still suspected of being a ghostwriter?" Gu Yuanzhen said, "The manuscript can't explain anything, because it can be forged. It must be admitted by the relevant people to be considered a complete hammer."

There are reasons why he can't accept it.

After all, no one can accept that a 13-year-old child has written "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

The most important thing is that he has not only written "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword"!

If Gu Long is really Chen Ya, it means that at the age of 13, he wrote "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Peerless Double Pride", "Wulin Outer History", "Biography of Great Banner Heroes" and "Huanhua Washing Sword Record".

At the age of 14, he wrote "Happy Heroes", "Meteor · Butterfly · Sword", "End of the World · Bright Moon · Sword", "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Xiao Shishilang".

At the age of 15, he wrote "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Big Man", "White Jade Tiger", "Seven Weapons" and "The Prodigal Son of the Border Town".

At the age of 16, he wrote "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains", "Four Famous Captures", "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" and "The Legend of Double Dragons in the Tang Dynasty"!
Let alone a child in his teens, even an adult can be called a living god if he can produce such a high yield!

Qin Yunchu said: "I have someone I know in the publishing industry. If I ask her, maybe I can find some clues."

Gu Yuanzhen asked, "Who?"

"Xiao Qing." Qin Yunchu said.

"Xiao Qing?!" He Shiying suddenly called out loudly, "You still know Xiao Qing?"

"Ah."

She was so excited for a reason.

Xiao Qing, a well-known "beautiful girl writer" in Huaguo, is best at writing romance novels, and can be called a "romance goddess".

Many of her novels have been remade into movies and TV series, and she is a well-known writer in China.

Of course, it was ten years ago when it was said that it was a "beautiful girl writer".

Now, this "beautiful girl" is 35 years old, and she is already considered a "beautiful young woman".

She is also currently living in Jiangcheng, living a chic life without worrying about food and clothing, and rarely writes books anymore.

Qin Yunchu dialed the phone and said nervously, "Hello?"

"Hey Yunchu, why do you have the time to call me?"

"Sister Xiao, I'm sorry to bother you," Qin Yunchu said politely, "I have a question to ask you."

"Ask, I took you with me to play, so don't be so polite."

Qin Yunchu relaxed a little, and said, "Do you know the Ancient Ci Publishing House?"

"You know, many of my books are published by Guci Publishing House."

Qin Yunchu was overjoyed and said, "Then do you know about Xi Wendian?"

A voice came from over there: "Hey, Lao Xi, he was my editor back then, and now I heard that he is the editor-in-chief. Once you say that I think of him, it's time to call and ask what's going on."

Qin Yunchu clenched his small fist even tighter, and said, "Then you know, Gu Long?"

The voice over there paused for a while, and then said: "Yes, I met him once. He was the writer Xi Wendian was in charge of with me back then."

Qin Yunchu looked at He Shiying and Gu Yuanzhen excitedly.

They were silent, but waved their hands in the air.

It is only one step away to find out the true face of the ancient cage!

Qin Yunchu asked: "Then, that, Gu Long, isn't he very young?"

Xiao Qing's voice suddenly calmed down: "What are you asking him for?"

Qin Yunchu whispered: "I found Gu Long's manuscript just now, and I suspect that one of my current employees is Gu Long himself..."

Xiao Qing immediately said, "Where are you?"

"In Jiangcheng..."

"I know you are in Jiangcheng, where is your location in Jiangcheng?"

"At a friend's house, Nanwangqiao East Road..."

"Coincidentally, I'm also at Nanwang Bridge," Xiao Qing said, "You send me a location, and I'll come and find you."
