Chapter 184 - The Misunderstanding of the Publishing House’s Employees! (2/2)

“There’s no need, Teacher Zhang. We won’t be staying long. Take a look at the compilation first. If it’s okay, then it’s set. We will not bother you two from resting.” The male editor also smiled ambiguously.

Our rest?

Rest, my a.s.s!

Zhang Ye could not argue. He flipped open “Zhang Ye’s Compilation”. The cover was simple. It looked elegant in a conventional way. Upon opening it, Zhang Ye’s age and resume was written on the first page on the left. The first page on the right was the preface — “Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves.”

Flipping to the next pages.

A page of poetry, a page of ill.u.s.tration, followed by a page or two of notes.

After reading it all, Zhang Ye nodded in satisfaction, “Okay, I’m done reading it. It’s all good.”

Usually when a book was published, the author would be the one begging the publis.h.i.+ng house to quickly release the book. But for a person of Zhang Ye’s level, it had become the publis.h.i.+ng house who had to beg him. Otherwise, for normal authors, which chief editor of a publis.h.i.+ng house would bring his team to send the first print to the doorstep? There was no need to mention how widespread Zhang Ye’s poems were on the internet. Each one of them was a miracle. Any one of his works would easily gain at least a million clicks. On Weibo, it would have thousands of forwards and a few thousand comments. In addition, Zhang Ye’s “Ghost Blows Out the Light” and his fairy tales had all acc.u.mulated several millions of Yuan in sales, so he was already a well-established author in this field. He had even been a radio host and television host before, so he already had a level of fame in Beijing. Although his number of fans was not extremely high, the number of hardcore fans was enough. If each bought a book, they would not have to incur any losses. So on the matter of publication, the publication house was very polite to Zhang Ye.

Zhang Lu stood up and smiled while shaking Zhang Ye’s hands, “Okay then. The first edition is settled. I will rush the printing press tomorrow.”

Zhang Ye said, “Let’s work together happily.”

“To good cooperation.” Zhang Lu said.

The female editor said, “Teacher Zhang, then we will be leaving now.”

“Let me see you out,” Zhang Ye took a coat to wear.

“There’s no need.” said the male editor, “You must be tired from rus.h.i.+ng out the notes these few days. You must not have slept much. Editor Zhang’s car is just downstairs. There’s no need to come out.”

The female editor giggled, “Right, you should keep sister-in-law company.”

Sister-in-law?

What sister-in-law!

Zhang Ye nearly fainted and said, “She’s really my friend, just ordinary friends. You’ve misunderstood.”

The female editor just smiled. The three of them then opened the door and left.

Zhang Ye walked them to the corridor as a gesture.

At this moment, Zhang Lu also laughed. He patted Zhang Ye on the shoulder, “Alright, go in and coax your partner. Your partner must really have a temper, just like my wife. My wife is the same; she won’t care at all when she’s angry. Doesn’t even leave any face for me. Being experienced in this, let me give you a few pointers. You know women; they all need to be coaxed. Give in when you need to give in. When she is over it, you can go back to being the man.”

Zhang Ye, “…”

He wanted to explain, but they had already taken the lift down.

Turning around, he saw that Zhang Yuanqi was still in the same position, reading the book and not looking behind.

Zhang Ye looked at her for a while, and then puckered his mouth. Hng, this Zhang Yuanqi has too many shortcomings.

1st, she puts on a false front!

2nd, her att.i.tude was really poor!

3rd, her survival skills were low!

4th, she doesn’t take into consideration how others feel!

And so on and so forth. It numbered so much that it was uncountable!

As for her strong points, she had one — She was pretty.

And then, is there any need to go on? No, there’s nothing more to say. Then….. All the shortcomings from before no longer mattered!
