Chapter 10 is quite tragic

However, Zhao Qiang did not realize that the moment she truly made others envious was just beginning

Editor-in-Chief Zheng Tianye suddenly appeared. After greeting a group of seasoned individuals, he looked at Zhao Qiang and said directly: "The Chief Editor just made a call, and the review from the publishing house has been approved. 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' can be published this month, just as it reaches a total of 250,000 words. The reader feedback has been extremely enthusiastic; the replies from the gatekeeper's office are all packed in burlap sacks. You need to contact the author as soon as possible and finalize the contract."

Editor, given that Xiao Zhao is still young, would you like me to assist?

Magic City, Zhangjiang District

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang endured and endured, but still could not help but raise the corners of her mouth into a smile. She repeatedly said, "Absolutely, absolutely, it is purely good luck to have come across such a good book. Jin Yong writes both quickly and excellently; I am truly fortunate"

Qi Juan said with a mischievous smile: "Are you still concerned about what my mother has to say?"

Zhang Li let out a cold laugh and said, "Naive. So what if he studies well? It's impressive to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but isn't university just a different kind of hardship? His family's situation... they are all sickly. After graduation, he might earn a thousand yuan a month. That thousand yuan will probably all have to be sent home for medicine."

The previously rude senior editor Huang Chao suddenly spoke warmly

Xiao Zhao

Zhao Qiang was momentarily taken aback upon hearing this. Generally speaking, only renowned martial arts masters or at least somewhat famous martial arts writers are able to publish books. Such writers are mostly under the control of the chief editor and the deputy chief editor. Among the eight editors in the editorial department, only Li Wei and another senior editor named Qiao Ming are responsible for one publishable writer each.

Zhang Qing is indeed a man from the Northwest. Hearing her speak to this extent, she did not feel shy, and nodded, saying: "When?"

Perhaps it is because she can see through it, Zhang Qing remains calm and clear-headed throughout

Zhang Li let out a sound of disdain and retorted, "What else could it be? Do you really think I could be interested in that country dog?"

Qi Juan smiled and said: "It is not that they believe, but that you reminded them. Boys at this age are truly impulsive; what can't they do? Yet you guide them in this direction, and they dare not act. My father praises you for your courage and wisdom."

She never expected, and had secretly fantasized, that she could actually have control over such an author.

Su Meng suddenly realized and exclaimed, "So you mean she is doing this to improve her grades..."

I heard that you are the one who settled things with Wang Lei and the others here

However, she has no choice; she is already quite low-key. She doesn't even wear makeup to work and keeps her eating, using, and dressing simple, yet she still draws people's attention.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly said: "No, no, I can manage. If there are any oversights, I can also consult the editor-in-chief. If the editor-in-chief is too busy, there is also Brother Li; Brother Li has experience as a book editor."

This blunt remark left Zhang Qing somewhat at a loss for words, as he looked at Qi Juan in silence

Qijuan looked at him and smiled, saying: "Don't overthink it, my mother would never want me to marry someone from the western frontier, so it's not about inviting a son-in-law"

Qi Juan laughed and said: "It is useless to talk to me; I will not relay your flattery. However, I must disappoint you, as my mother criticized you, saying that you should not have gone to the playground, but rather informed the teacher. Because while others may not be able to resolve this matter simply by reporting, you are different; you are a student involved in the Xinjiang Aid Program, which carries a certain political identity. Furthermore, your academic progress is remarkable, and you are considered a key candidate by the school, which will never stand by and watch you get into trouble. It was indeed reckless of you to go to the playground yourself."

Qi Juan asked with a smile.

Bright and beautiful big eyes, more lovely than the setting sun

Zhang Qingdao: "Over there by the bar?"

Zhang Qing explained: "Because I believe that my aunt is a very wise person, I hope to receive her opinion"

Qi Juan could no longer hold back and kicked Zhang Qing, saying: "I can't stand you! Who are you trying to please?"

Veteran editor Li Wei looked at last month's sales and reader feedback record and couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Zhao, you are once again the top performer this month, it's time to treat us."

Zhang Qing shook his head and smiled, saying: "Not at all, they actually know that I am bluffing, but they do not dare to take the risk. Because they always believe that their lives are more valuable than mine, and that is enough."

... ...

Jiangjing City No. 1 High School

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Are you free this Saturday afternoon?"

During the break, on the playground

... ...

Zheng Tianye smiled and said: "Good, it's great to have this kind of determination. You should go quickly and return quickly, waiting for your good news. Additionally, be sure to pay attention to your safety"

However, after the laughter and commotion, I said: "By the way, my mother would like to invite you to dinner, as I have indeed made significant progress with your help"

Zheng Tianye smiled and said, "Lao Huang, you should tighten up your review work and strive to produce a paper as well." He then said to Zhao Qiang, "You should contact the authors as soon as possible."

As the two individuals walked into the classroom one after the other, Su Meng quietly asked her deskmate Zhang Li in the corner, "Do you think there is really something going on between them?"

Zhang Qing and Qi Juan, who had spent the entire day solving problems, came out to get some fresh air and took a walk along the track

The sunlight hanging in the western sky spills warmly and obliquely over the campus, even the edges of the green grass have been tinged with a pale yellow hue

Seeing his awkward appearance, Qi Juan laughed heartily and said, "You are not the only one; there are also Liu Shanshan and my friend Chu Tiantian, who study at No. 3 Middle School. In fact, it was Tiantian who, after hearing about your remarkable character, became immensely curious and insisted on meeting you. Can you give her a chance?"

Hearing her tone was off, Su Meng's voice lowered further as she asked, "What do you mean, what kind of person?"

Zhang Li shook her head and said, "I only say this to you, not to others... It's the last year of high school, who would waste time during this period? Especially someone like Qi Juan..."

Ding ding ding ... ...

Editorial Office of "Contemporary and Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Collection"

Su Meng exclaimed, "Aren't you being too realistic?"

Qi Juan smiled and said, "How big can the school be? However, you indeed scared them."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "There is no need for that, right? You have already helped me a lot, please convey my thanks to your aunt for her kindness."

Zhao Qiang nodded and said: "I understand. Editor-in-Chief, Jin Yong has not left a phone number, so I plan to personally go to Jiangjing City."

Qijuan joked, "Look at you, wanting to go to the bar when you want, and wanting to come home with me when you want"

Zhang Li softly said: "With a family background like hers, and being so intelligent, she approaches her work with a strong sense of purpose"

Zhang Li scoffed at the words, saying: "Do you think that is possible?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "It was done out of necessity. What did your mother say?"

Zhao Qiang urgently asked: "Editor-in-chief, how much is the royalty?"

San Zhong is also a key secondary school, located not far from Yi Zhong, and the competition between the two schools is intense

An old man beside me chuckled and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are still young and do not understand that being fast does not necessarily mean it is good. It seems you have yet to experience true happiness"

Su Meng retorted: "I know that Zhang Qing's family conditions are very poor, and many people in the grade look down on those from Xijiang, thinking they are rustic and unsophisticated, lacking experience yet being loud... But Zhang Qing is different, right? At least he almost ranked first in the grade, and don't you think he is actually quite handsome, just a bit too tanned, and his clothes..."

Zhang Qing exclaimed, "You already know about this?"

Zheng Tianye stated: "Newcomers generally score between 4 and 8 points, you may use your discretion."

As the class bell rang, the two returned to the teaching building

Zhang Qing shook her head helplessly; this proud daughter of heaven, confident and sincere, simply loves to joke around

A burst of cheerful laughter echoed in the editing room, and regarding this office disturbance, Zhao Qiang could only endure in silence. She knew that she had indeed aroused envy in others.

It is ! ''

Upon hearing this, Su Meng suddenly felt a twinge of sympathy for Zhang Qing, he is so miserable

Huang Chao did not expect that Zhao Qiang, who had always been as timid as a cat and never dared to retort, would actually show her claws at this moment, using Li Wei to slap him in the face and put him in a difficult position.

Zhang Qing nodded repeatedly and said: "What you said makes sense, I have learned from it."
