Chapter 6, The Initial Clash of the Dragon and Tiger

How could I possibly have the face to do that

Someone recommended this book on Renren! another female editor exclaimed

The subsequent comments are either flattery or teasing from the writers, or messages from newcomers seeking to submit their works. Ultimately, the topic takes a turn, reverting to the state of youth literature from two years ago, and then shifts to the disputes between Xue Muliang and Han Shuo, as well as the rivalry between "Ding Fiction" and "The Great Jianghu"

... ...

What Liu Jingteng referred to was indeed his plan for the second novel—"Seven Swords Descend on Tianshan"

So let's leave it at that for today, "Mi Hu waved his hand gracefully and said, 'Goodbye.'"

Mi Hu glanced at Tang Nan apologetically and said, "It was purely an accidental injury; I will try to straighten the building."

The first post in the forum appears, discussing "The Dragon and the Tiger in the Capital": "Is the heavily anticipated new work 'The Dragon and the Tiger in the Capital' by 'The Great Jianghu' really the work of a middle school student, given its mature writing style?"

Someone posted on Weibo, highly recommending "Dragon and Tiger"! "Tang Nan called out.

The cobra is very interesting, looking forward to Liu's new work

Liu Jingteng, your mother is calling you to come home and write fairy tales

In just one hour, there were already nearly 2,000 comments. Mi Hu took the opportunity to post with her main account: Having read the manuscript, I believe it will not disappoint everyone. It is a brand new form of martial arts story, worth looking forward to.

The ID of the original poster seems familiar; which editor of "The Great Jianghu" is it?

Habitually, I first enter the official website of the magazine, then open the "Jianghu Ren Forum." The homepage has about a dozen posts regarding "Dragon and Tiger Chronicles," featuring various analyses and speculations. Among them, a post titled "Explosive Insider: Internal Operations of 'The Great Jianghu,' Genius Youth's Lies Exposed" by the user ID "Dian Xiao Er" prominently appears at the top of the forum.

Zhou Daoran looked at the pitifully beautiful young girl, his heart softened, and he said: "The outline of the new book? Did he mention the outline of the new book?"

Goodbye

You are my editor, right? Temporarily act as my agent, and when the time comes, we will share the profits.

The spring breeze caressed her face, the sunlight was pleasant, and Mi Hu in the pavilion looked at the smiling Liu Jingting, noticing the sincerity and trust in his eyes. The girl's latent maternal qualities suddenly surged, giving rise to a strong determination to clear the path for this younger brother. She readily replied, "Alright, I will help you with the contract and ensure that you suffer no losses."

Ah! Mi Hu looked at Liu Jingting in disbelief

With the appearance of the notice "Mihu Dada Appears" downstairs, this building has since tilted.

At 7 PM, all the editors of "The Great Jianghu" are mobilized. The last time the chief editor treated everyone was because the new book from Beihe Tang sold over 500,000 copies, and it has been almost ten months since then

Sitting in front of the screen, Mi Hu rubbed his temples. Tang Nan leisurely walked over and said, "Mi Hu, congratulations on successfully dismantling the building"

In a state of confusion, Mi Hu unexpectedly signed an author without any contract or agreement, and inexplicably became a manager. This was perhaps the most unconventional contract she had signed since becoming an editor. However, when this news reached Zhou Daoran's ears, the situation took a sudden turn for the worse

Does a middle school student know what the Jianghu is? Can they devise intricate schemes? This raises doubts

By the way, I noticed that the last submission you sent was handwritten. Are you able to type using a computer

At the age of fourteen, the young genius Liu Jingting sparked nationwide discussions with his fairy tale "Mang Mang and Ti Ti". Recently, under the pen name "Gu Yongsheng", he has created a new martial arts masterpiece titled "Long Hu Zhi Jing Hua", which will make a significant debut in "Da Jiang Hu". Following the success of "Cobra", let us see how this young boy navigates a different world of martial arts.

After finishing the hot pot, Mi Hu returned to her rented apartment, took an apple from the refrigerator, poured a glass of orange juice, and then opened her white laptop

I wonder if Mi Hu has a boyfriend

Mi Hu Man smiled nonchalantly and said, "I am in my second year of high school this year, but I took a year off. The magazine is in a special period, and I want to do something for it. Oh, regarding the contract issue, you can have your parents act as agents. I, I just met you, um..."

... ...

Well, can it be confirmed that this is indeed his own creation

Editor-in-Chief Zhou, speechless, said: "You know you are confused, right? You are aware that we are currently living in a society governed by the rule of law, correct? You understand that a society governed by the rule of law requires a spirit of contract, don't you? You make a promise without any basis, and when you create a contract, who will be responsible if issues arise? When it escalates to the court, our company will be accused of defrauding minors."

"No, Chief Editor," Mi Hu smiled brightly, "It's fine, I will go out to work first."

No problem

"I will talk to him again the next time I go to get the outline, and have his parents sign on his behalf. I apologize for the trouble, Editor-in-Chief," Mi Hu said timidly.

Liu Jingting smiled as he bid farewell, and suddenly a phrase emerged in his mind: "It is best to meet at the beginning of a friendship." This was Liu Jingting's intuitive feeling towards Mi Hu, reminiscent of Jia Baoyu's first encounter with Lin Daiyu, saying, "I have seen this sister before." He just did not know whether Mi Hu felt the same way about him, wondering why he seemed so familiar.

Liu Jingting interrupted, saying: "Could you help me with the contract issue? I am still young this year, I don't even have an ID card, and I have to take the high school entrance examination. By the way, aren't you going to school?"

No need, the post is already pinned, the advertising effect has been achieved, so let them discuss it

Everyone is looking at the Wuxia forum, where someone has written a lengthy book review

The March issue of "The Great Jianghu" has finally been released, and the editorial department is quiet. Everyone is sitting in front of their computers, waiting to see the reactions from all sides, as this is a critical moment concerning the magazine's survival, and the sense of tension is greater than ever before

As the editor of this book, Mi Hu immediately replied: "I am Mi Hu, the editor of this book. After reviewing the manuscript, I personally met with the author Gu Yongsheng. I can personally vouch for the fact that the author is indeed a fourteen-year-old middle school student and is also the author of 'Mang Mang and Ti Ti'"

Zhou Daoran shot a glare at Mi Hu and said, "Of course I know I took the wrong one," pausing for a moment before continuing, "because I am currently feeling extremely happy." As soon as he finished speaking, the table erupted in uproarious laughter

The host is the esteemed Tang Nan, identification complete

Liu Jingting laughed heartily and said, "I believe you, Sister Mi Hu. If you also believe in me, then allow me to write with peace of mind. Together, we shall achieve great things."

Zhou Daoran hung up the phone, calmly put his phone into his pocket, glanced around at everyone, and said with an air of indifference: "What are you all looking at me for? It's nothing special; Boss Bo personally called to praise us, so there's no need to make a fuss about it." After saying this, he nonchalantly picked up the menu to order.

Yes, it was his own request. I found him quite sincere, so I agreed somewhat muddle-headedly

I prefer a bit of freedom and do not like to be bound by contracts or agreements. If you wish to collaborate, I can sign a book agreement with you, but I do not want to sign a personal contract

"Do not let your company suffer losses, and even more so, do not let yourself suffer losses," Liu Jingting said innocently as he looked at Mi Hu. "Thank you so much, Mi Hu."

Dear Mi Hu, I really like your "Migratory Birds"

Mi Hu nodded a few times quickly

... ...

This simple advertisement appeared on the "Jianghu Ren Forum" for just five minutes, and there were already over two hundred replies below, with some criticizing, some praising, but mostly teasing.

Editor-in-Chief, you have the menu upside down," Mi Hu reminded softly

Liu Jingting smiled and said, "It seems to be the case. Then in the future, I will send you a new one when I have the manuscript fee."

Well, the magazine is set to be listed today. Pay attention to the reactions from all parties and maintain the enthusiasm of the forum discussions. Particularly focus on "Longhu Jinghua." Go ahead.

Good! Mi Hu readily agreed, as this outcome is most acceptable to the company. After all, hiring a newcomer always carries risks. Mi Hu is quite confident in Liu Jingting, but others may not share the same sentiment. "Next, a contract editor will reach out to discuss the signing process. At that time..."

... ...

"Tonight, all the editors at Amber Hot Pot City, it's on me." Zhou Daoran called out to the editorial department with a beaming smile, eliciting a round of cheers.

Well then, additionally, my recent criticism of you was from the company's perspective and was intended for your benefit. It is commendable that you were able to establish a good relationship with the author in such a short time, so do not harbor any negative thoughts.

Absurd, truly absurd in this grand Tang dynasty. Mi Hu, oh Mi Hu, do you go by Mi Hu or by Mi Hu?" Zhou Daoran looked at Mi Hu and scolded repeatedly

Liu Jingteng scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "I am preparing to use the manuscript fee to buy a laptop"

After all, I am your agent when it comes to books. Is it not possible for me to give you a computer?

The flying snow of Tianshan, the Seven Swords come from the West

Hello, President Xu," Zhou Daoran had just settled into his seat when he unexpectedly received a call from the chairman. He gestured for everyone to be quiet, "I am at Amber City, treating the editors to a meal today. Yes, very good, haha, thank you, President Xu. Alright, we will work even harder. Yes, goodbye.

At this moment, Mi Hu also regained his rationality, realizing that his promise to sign a contract on behalf of Liu Jingting was overly fanciful. However, when he looked at Liu, the sentiment of kindred spirits meeting in the world of rivers and lakes completely took precedence. The scene at that time, combined with the line "A gentleman values his word, even the Five Mountains could topple," perfectly matched the aesthetic of those youthful dreamers who are always lost in their fantasies. Where was the spirit of contract?

Oh, it turns out to be Lord Mi Hu. I trust you; the story is very engaging, and I look forward to the upcoming chapters

"No need, I will give you one." Mi Hu quickly immersed herself in the role of a manager and said in a grand manner

Mi Hu, feeling a sense of tranquility and longing, said: "To be frank with you, I have come to inform you that we have decided to serialize your book 'The Dragon and the Tiger in the Capital' in a significant manner. Additionally, I would like to discuss future collaborations with you."

Alright, see you next time. Could you show me the outline of the new story?

In which year was Mi Hu born

Six hours after the release of "The Great Jianghu," information about "The Dragon and Tiger Chronicles" appeared across forums, message boards, Weibo, and dating websites. Although the book did not reach the level of universal acclaim, this small-scale discussion wave swept away the despondency that had surrounded the release of "The Great Jianghu," thereby stabilizing the morale of the editorial team to some extent

"Two hundred percent is him himself." Mi Hu was full of confidence
