“Last Week’s Antique.”

Youyou, with a smile playing on her lips, quickly opened the ‘Last Week’s Antique.doc’ file, voraciously ‘reading with reverence’.

The opening had a total of 50,000 words, and Youyou read it repeatedly for over an hour.

Then, she meticulously formatted the 50,000 words and, walking down the corridor, headed toward the office of the chief editor, Zhang Yixing.

Perhaps she was riding on Lin Chuan’s coattails.

Stepping lightly in her white flat shoes, Youyou straightened her back a bit, walking steadily down the hallway; her carefully arranged high ponytail swayed gently with each step, a few soft strands of hair gently falling beside her ears, like a spring breeze drifting over the lake, causing ripples to spread.

Knock, knock-knock.

Youyou tapped lightly on the door of Chief Editor Zhang Yixing’s office.

Looking up and seeing her, Zhang Yixing smiled and said, “Youyou, you seem in high spirits. Is something good happening?”

Walking into the chief editor’s office with a beaming smile, Youyou said, “Of course, I’ve come to ask you for a recommendation for a film and television adaptation!”

Zhang Yixing’s smile quickly froze on his face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, “Youyou, didn’t Lin Chuan, your writer, just win first place in the anti-fraud writing contest and get a film and television adaptation? And now you’re asking me for another recommendation?”

Within Sailing Novel, the routine derivation and development of novel IPs all need to go through multiple layers of selection and audit, confirming their market value, before proceeding with the corresponding copyright development filing process.

The chief editor holds a precious recommendation slip.

This recommendation slip is important; it can ‘fast-track’ a work into the selection scope of copyright merchants for adaptation, possibly securing an adaptation opportunity.

Of course, this recommendation authority isn’t used lightly.

Subscription average is the most basic requirement, and the chief editor also needs to conduct a multi-dimensional review before deciding whether to give the recommendation.

“Chief editor, I admit I was a little rash, but of course, I should strongly recommend a great work,” Youyou said with an upturned smile.

“Whose great work is it?” Chief Editor Zhang Yixing asked with a smile.

“A work by Lin Chuan,” Youyou answered.

Zhang Yixing’s expression shifted slightly, “Didn’t his ‘All-In’ just get a film adaptation?”

“He’s about to launch a new book.”

Youyou then sent the meticulously formatted 50,000 words to Zhang Yixing.

Before even receiving the file, Zhang Yixing looked up at Youyou, “How can you recommend it if it hasn’t been published yet?”

With a cheerful grin, Youyou replied, “I’m just laying the groundwork for him now, so that when he publishes it and the performance is there, I can immediately get him recommended for adaptation, cutting out the middleman.”

Chief Editor Zhang Yixing shook his head with a hidden smile, thinking that Youyou was still somewhat naive.

Many authors with real talent sometimes have higher expectations for their next book following one big success.
