"How do you know?" Zheng Xiaoyun was stunned.
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I was just guessing. Beautiful girl, you must have countless suitors at school. How could you not have a boyfriend?"
Zheng Xiaoyun blushed slightly and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you've become much sweeter than before! But you guessed wrong, he's not my college classmate. He's two years older than me, and his family is in business..."
It is true.
Liu Fusheng nodded slightly. In this way, all the information from his previous life matched up. This boyfriend was a rich second-generation scumbag.
"Xiao Yun, I'm here to submit my work. Can you take a look at it for me?"
Liu Fusheng changed the subject and decided to take a long-term view. After all, some things had not happened yet, and Zheng Xiaoyun would not believe it even if he told her.
Zheng Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Okay, today I will let this trainee editor appreciate your literary talent!"
After she took the manuscript from Liu Fusheng, she didn't even go back to the office, but started reading it directly in the hall.
At first, Zheng Xiaoyun was a bit nonchalant, looking at the title and jokingly saying, "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty? My old classmate, that title is way too random!"
Liu Fusheng smiled slightly and motioned her to continue reading.
Soon after, Zheng Xiaoyun stopped talking, and her pretty face gradually became serious...
After more than ten minutes, she finally finished reading the manuscript and said to Liu Fusheng with a feeling of being unsatisfied, "Is that all? What else?"
Liu Fusheng said: "I just started writing. Is the word count not enough? Or is the quality not good enough?"
Zheng Xiaoyun exclaimed, "The quality is absolutely impeccable! My dear classmate, it's no exaggeration to say that this is the most grounded and innovative manuscript I've ever seen! You're amazing! I think this book will definitely be a hit!"
"How come I didn't realize your writing is so good before? No, to be exact, it's not your writing, but your imagination. Your narrative style is just like chatting, but what you say is all practical information! If the appeal of a history textbook is millet and a rifle, then your book is as attractive as an intercontinental missile! You are so far ahead!"
Hearing such praise, Liu Fusheng did not show any emotion.
Because "Things about the Ming Dynasty" was an excellent bestseller that became popular all over the country several years later, it was reasonable that it was praised by visionary editors.
"Then can I sign the contract? Old classmate, you are just a trainee editor. Do you want to show it to your editor-in-chief?" Liu Fusheng asked with a smile.
"It will definitely be signed, no need for the editor-in-chief to see it!"
Zheng Xiaoyun was full of confidence. Then, somewhat embarrassedly, she said to Liu Fusheng, "Old classmate, can you sign your book with me? Although I'm just a trainee editor, the editor-in-chief is very caring towards me. I will do my best to get you the best contract terms!"
An editor's performance is the sales of the books they sign!
If you find a best-selling book, no matter the editor or publisher, they will fight to get it!
Zheng Xiaoyun got this job through the introduction of her relatives, who have some connections in the publishing house. However, when it comes down to it, work still depends on performance!
Facing Zheng Xiaoyun's anxious gaze, Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Of course, we are old classmates. I feel relieved to leave my book to you!"
"That's great!" Zheng Xiaoyun clenched her fists excitedly. As long as this book becomes popular, she will definitely be able to get a permanent position, and maybe even quickly become the editor-in-chief!
At this moment, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them: "Who the hell are you? You dare to pick up my girl, do you want to die?"
Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows.
Zheng Xiaoyun's face changed, and she quickly turned around and said, "Chen Jian, don't talk nonsense, this is my classmate!"
The person speaking behind him was a young man of similar height to Liu Fusheng, with slicked-back hair and powdered face. Liu Fusheng confirmed the identity of this man through the conversation between Zheng Xiaoyun and him - Zheng Xiaoyun's rich second-generation boyfriend, the scumbag who caused her depression and suicide!
Chen Jian looked Liu Fusheng up and down and said, "Classmate?"
"Hello, my name is Liu Fusheng, Zheng Xiaoyun's high school classmate." Liu Fusheng said lightly.
Chen Jian curled his lips and said, "Old lover, huh? A poor bastard like you, you want to pick up my girl?"
Zheng Xiaoyun stamped her foot in anger: "Don't talk nonsense! We are talking about work! Liu Fusheng is here to submit an article!"
Liu Fusheng thought to himself: Good guy, I already disliked you and was thinking of finding fault with you, but you just scolded me directly, I'm so sorry!
"People like you are not worthy of Zheng Xiaoyun." Liu Fusheng stared at Chen Jian and decided to play the straight ball.
"What? Say it again if you've got the guts!" Chen Jian suddenly widened his eyes, as if he was ready to attack at any time.
Zheng Xiaoyun was also shocked by Liu Fusheng's words. She looked at the two men in front of her in surprise because of their tit-for-tat attitude.
Liu Fusheng twitched his lips and said, "Are you sure?"
Zheng Xiaoyun hurriedly pulled Chen Jian: "Stop it! This is my unit!"
Chen Jian glanced around, pointed at Liu Fusheng and said, "Poor bastard, do you know what my family does? You're dressed so shabbily, and you still have the nerve to say I'm unworthy? If Xiaoyun hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten you to death in a minute!"
Liu Fusheng chuckled and said, "About three minutes."
Three minutes?
Zheng Xiaoyun and Chen Jianquan were both stunned.
Liu Fusheng strode to the door of the publishing house, turned his head to look at Chen Jian and said, "In three minutes, I will teach you how to be a human being!"
Chen Jian was originally a rich second-generation who was always fighting and making trouble. How could he stand such provocation? He immediately shook off Zheng Xiaoyun, took a big step, and rushed out!
"You little bastard, you're looking for death..."
Bang!
Before Chen Jian could finish his words, Liu Fusheng kicked him in the stomach, and then he was hit in the face with a series of punches!
Liu Fusheng's work and living environment in his previous life determined that he had to bear great mental pressure!
In order to relieve stress, he learned combat training. Although it did not change his tragic fate, he engraved those movements and techniques firmly in his mind!
Now that he has been reborn, his physical fitness has returned to its peak, and his skills are very sophisticated and adept. Isn't it more than enough for him to defeat Chen Jian?
A minute later, Chen Jian's head was blown off with both hands and he lay on the ground, feeling extremely confused!
He never dreamed that Liu Fusheng was such a good fighter!
In front of the publishing house.
Liu Fusheng stared at Chen Jian's chest with his knees, raised his fist, and was about to hit him in the face, but Chen Jian suddenly begged for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong, please stop, I surrender!"
At this time, many people were watching nearby, and Zheng Xiaoyun was also pulling Liu Fusheng's arm from behind...
After hearing this, she was stunned!
Zheng Xiaoyun knew that Chen Jian was usually very arrogant and domineering. He would curse and hit anyone he disliked. But she didn't expect that when facing Liu Fusheng, he couldn't even hold on for three minutes and just gave in.
Liu Fusheng didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he stood up and said, "Get lost."
Chen Jian quickly got up, ignoring Zheng Xiaoyun who was trying to support him. He quickly ran into a nearby car. After the car started, he rolled down the window and yelled, "You little bastard, just wait for me! I'm going to get someone to kill you!"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away!
Liu Fusheng walked back into the publishing house. Under the surprised gazes of the people around him, he walked up to Zheng Xiaoyun and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it!"
Zheng Xiaoyun was stunned. She glanced at the direction where Chen Jian fled in embarrassment and sighed, "It doesn't matter. Let's continue discussing the manuscript!"
"Aren't you mad at me?"
Zheng Xiaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "He was too arrogant. He deserved to be beaten. Besides, why should I be angry at a man who abandoned me and ran away after a disagreement?"
"…"
Liu Fusheng followed Zheng Xiaoyun to her desk. Seeing her preparing the contract with an expressionless face, he said thoughtfully, "Your relationship isn't going well, is it?"
"Are feelings important?" Zheng Xiaoyun shook her head and said, "I just thought he could protect me and that I could rely on him, and that was enough... But I didn't expect this man to be unreliable... Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's sign a license agreement first. Here's the template. Is it okay with you?"
When signing a contract with a publishing house, it is usually a standard contract. If the author is particularly outstanding or the book is particularly good, the terms can be negotiated individually.
Liu Fusheng flipped through the agreement and said, "No problem."
Zheng Xiaoyun smiled and said, "You are so generous. Leave the manuscript with me first. I will try my best to get the best conditions for you. We can communicate at any time..."
"Okay." Liu Fusheng picked up the pen and signed his name on the authorization agreement.
Zheng Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Liu Fusheng deeply and said, "I haven't seen you for many years. You have changed a lot."
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "If you keep improving, you will improve every day."
Just then, his cell phone suddenly rang. The caller was Zhang Wenwen.
"Liu Fusheng, I want to talk to you." Zhang Wenwen's tone was very stiff.
"good."
Liu Fusheng curled his lips, hung up the phone, and said to Zheng Xiaoyun, "I'll treat you to dinner another day."
