Chapter 19 It's Cheating to Be Born
After reading the contents of a test paper, the female proctor was still a little unfinished. If it weren't for her status as a proctor, she might have been unable to help but urge Ye Chen to write faster.

Fortunately, because Ye Chen didn't need to think, he wrote very fast, and he finished writing the second test paper in a short time. Just as Ye Chen put down the second test paper and was about to continue writing the third test paper, unexpectedly, a hand stretched out from the side to hold himself The second sheet just finished was taken away, Ye Chen raised his head in astonishment, only to see that the female invigilator beside him was holding the second sheet he had just written and looked at it intently, making Ye Chen I can't laugh or cry.

But Ye Chen didn't care, picked up the third one and started writing. This "Necklace" is about [-] words, and he can finish it quickly.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen finished writing the last word of "The Necklace". The female invigilator who watched Ye Chen finished writing also looked at Ye Chen with a complicated face. From the beginning to the end, Ye Chen didn't stop to think about it. There are only two possibilities for such a long novel to be written in one go.First, this novel was written by Ye Chen before, and now he just copied it.The second is that Ye Chen is a genius, and only a genius can do this.

And the composition topic of this exam is kept secret throughout the whole process. Before the exam papers are issued, even I, the invigilator, don't know. It is obviously impossible to leak the questions. Then there is only one possibility.

Ye Chen didn't know what the female invigilator at the side thought of him. He wrote the "Necklace" completely by hand and his arms were sore. He sat on the seat and rested for a while. He checked the time. It was still early before the end of the exam, so he sorted out the papers. As soon as I got up, I heard the female invigilator beside me asking softly:
"Are you going to hand in the paper? Just give it to me."

Ye Chen was startled, then nodded, and handed the test paper to the female invigilator. Shi Shiran walked out of the examination room, and the candidates were in an uproar again.

After Ye Chen left, the female invigilator took the test paper and walked to the podium. At this moment, one of the invigilators came over and asked in a low voice:
"What's the matter, seeing you standing in front of that candidate for so long, do you suspect that the candidate is cheating?"

The female invigilator was taken aback, looked at the direction where Ye Chen disappeared, and smiled:
"No, he doesn't need to cheat, he was born to cheat."

Immediately, the female invigilator stepped off the podium and began to inspect the examination room, as if looking for the next Ye Chen, leaving only the other invigilator confused.

No, for such a monstrous genius to be born is already cheating.

Ye Chen came out of the examination room and was about to go home, when he walked out of the school gate, the phone in his pocket rang. Ye Chen turned on the phone, and the caller ID showed Zheng Wei.

Ye Chen connected to the phone and said with a smile, "Hi, is that Brother Zheng?"

"Ye Chen, do you have time now? I couldn't get through to you just now. If you have time now, I hope you can come to the publishing house."

"I'm sorry, Brother Zheng, I was in the examination room just now, and my phone was turned off. I have time now. Just wait a moment, and I'll be right over."

"Well, okay, then I'll wait for you in the office."

Ye Chen hung up the phone with a thoughtful face. Judging from Zheng Wei's tone on the phone, there should be something urgent, and it should be related to the publication of his novel.

Ye Chen had a bad premonition in his heart, he stopped a taxi, got in the car and told the driver about Huayu Publishing House, half an hour later, the taxi stopped under an office building, Ye Chen paid, Say thank you.

Walking into the elevator, Ye Chen came to Huayu Publishing House very soon. It was still the female receptionist, but this time she may have recognized her own reason and brought Ye Chen directly to the door of Zheng Wei's office.

Ye Chen knocked on the door and walked into the office after hearing "Please come in".When Zheng Wei saw Ye Chen coming, he got up and said with a smile: "Ye Chen is here, I heard you said that you were in the examination room just now, how did you do?"

"It's okay." Ye Chen said modestly.

Zheng Wei smiled, didn't ask any more questions, picked up the landline and called the front desk, ordered a cup of tea, then turned to Ye Chen and said:
"Sit down, I've been here once, why are you still so polite."

Ye Chen took the opportunity to sit down, and asked with a puzzled look:
"Brother Zheng, you are in such a hurry to find me, is there something urgent?"

When Zheng Wei heard this, the smile on his face also slowly disappeared, and he said in a low voice: "Ye Chen, I'm sorry Brother Zheng this time, your novel may have to be published the day after tomorrow."

Zheng Wei was a little guilty, but he still looked at Ye Chen and said sincerely: "This is what the publishing house meant, but it's also what I mean. The reasons are a bit complicated, but I still hope you believe Brother Zheng once."

To be honest, Ye Chen just felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Zheng Wei said that he would publish it in advance. After all, a fool would know the concept of a novel published after publicity and without publicity, but Ye Chen quickly calmed down and considered the reason. After all, there is Wang Kong's relationship between me and Zheng Wei, and I was signed by Zheng Wei himself, so Zheng Wei can't harm himself.

After Ye Chen calmed down, he immediately analyzed the reason. In his previous life, he was also an editor of a publishing house, so he was very clear about this situation. The first possibility is that in the past two days, another newcomer contributed a book that was better than his own. After all, the resources of a publishing house are limited, and quality must be the priority out of profit considerations, but this situation is impossible, not because Ye Chen is arrogant, but because Ye Chen has confidence in this classic.The second is that a great god is going to publish a book at this time, which is equivalent to the ancient emperor going on a tour. The younger brothers along the way can only sing praises, and will not allow anyone to come out to fight in the ring.

"Brother Zheng, can I ask which great god is about to publish a book recently?" Ye Chen said lightly.

Zheng Wei was taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect Ye Chen to ask such a question. It seems that he still underestimated Ye Chen. Ye Chen is not only a genius in writing, but also a genius with high emotional intelligence. understand better.

Thinking of this, Zheng Wei said:
"You guessed it right, the deputy editor in the publishing house has signed a new book and plans to publish it in the near future."

"I don't know which famous writer it is?"

"Cheng Ji."

"You mean Cheng Ji, the suspenseful little prince of this city?"

"Yes, it's him."

Ye Chen nodded and recalled the information about Cheng Ji in his mind. From the memory, Cheng Ji was from Qingyang City just like Ye Chen. He even graduated from the same school as Qingshui High School. When he was 20 years old, he published his first novel "Ghost Eyes" and it became an instant hit. In the following years, he published several novels of the same type one after another. He is also a slightly famous writer in China, but this is only based on the national Generally speaking, as a native of Qingyang City, he is well-known in Qingyang City. The local media in Qingyang City call him the new generation suspense little prince of Qingyang City, and he is also the pride of Qingyang City.

Ye Chen has also read this "Ghost Eye". To be honest, judging from Ye Chen's experience in many classic novels in his previous life, this novel is very general, with an old-fashioned plot. It is more like a ghost novel than a suspense novel. A complete collection of stories.

However, hasn't Cheng Ji signed a contract with another large publishing house in recent years?Why are you cooperating with Huayu Publishing House now?Thinking of this, Marven Ye asked: "Brother Zheng, didn't this Cheng Ji sign a contract with another publishing house? How come?"

"It's like this. Cheng Ji published a new book a while ago, and his grades were a bit poor. I heard that he had a falling out with the publishing house. This time, he returned to Qingyang City to prepare for a comeback. It should not be underestimated."

The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched. It turned out that he was bullied and went back to his hometown. It happened that he happened to publish the book just in time. Is this planning to find a place for Ye Chen who is also a native of Qingyang City?
However, it is not certain who bullies whom!

"Brother Zheng, let's publish according to the original plan." Ye Chen looked at Zheng Wei and said seriously.

Seeing Ye Chen's insistence, Zheng Wei was afraid that Ye Chen would not understand the twists and turns, so he patiently explained: "Ye Chen, you don't know." Before he finished speaking, Ye Chen interrupted: "Brother Zheng! , I know you are doing it for my own good, and I am also very clear about what is going on here. It is nothing more than that Cheng Ji is the suspenseful little prince in the media of Qingyang City, and the pride of the locals in Qingyang City, but I am also from Qingyang City. I am also older than him, and the most important thing is that I believe in my novels, and I also believe in myself."

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Zheng Wei saw Ye Chen's confident face, but Zheng Wei is an adult after all, he has his own ideas, and while admiring Ye Chen, he still couldn't help persuading him: "Ye Chen, you are still young, and you are still young." There are a lot of opportunities, this time it is a little bit of luck, but we don't need to fight Cheng Ji, are you right?"

Ye Chen nodded, smiled at Zheng Wei, and said, "Brother Zheng, do you still remember yesterday when you said that I believed in you? I still believe in you now, but I also hope that you believe in me, your own vision, and For my novels, ambition is not based on age, believe me, I, Ye Chen, will not lose to others!"

Zheng Wei looked at Ye Chen with a determined face, and his heart was a little shaken. Yes, Ye Chen believed in himself, and he should also believe in Ye Chen. What's more, when he thought of "The Da Vinci Code" he had seen yesterday, he thought of himself. The new genre that has been pursuing hard, so why not fight it once?Ye Chen didn't lose to others, did he lose to Zhu Jin?
Thinking of this, Zheng Wei took a deep breath and smiled at Ye Chen: "Then let's talk about how to promote your novel in these two weeks."

Ye Chen smiled brightly, nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"

When it came to business, Zheng Wei turned serious, as if he had changed in an instant, and said with a serious face: "Since we have already planned to confront Zhu Jin head-on, we must first analyze the pros and cons of both parties." Maybe it was seeing Ye Chen With puzzled eyes, Zheng Wei explained: "Zhu Jin is the deputy editor-in-chief of our publishing house. He was the one who talked about Cheng Ji publishing a new book in our publishing house this time. He even competed for the position of editor-in-chief a while ago."

Ye Chen suddenly understood what Zheng Wei meant. The accident this time should be caused by Zhu Jin. The relationship between the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief in the publishing house has always been delicate. It was only then that the editor-in-chief recruited Cheng Ji, and it succeeded, but at this time Zheng Wei signed a contract with himself at this time, and the publishing time was about the same. It would be funny if the deputy editor-in-chief got down, and the position of the editor-in-chief might not be guaranteed at that time. Thinking of this, Ye Chen also understood the pressure on Zheng Wei, and admired Zheng Wei's courage.

After all, not every editor-in-chief dares to bet his career on a fledgling newcomer writer to compete with an already well-known writer.

Ye Chen nodded towards Zheng Wei, feeling a little grateful in his heart.

Seeing that Ye Chen understood what he meant, Zheng Wei also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that Zheng Wei was afraid of losing, but Zheng Wei hoped that Ye Chen would pay attention to this matter. To be honest, if it wasn't for Ye Chen Chen's novel is confident, even if it is Wang Kong's student, Zheng Wei will not place such a big bet.

But now that it’s decided, it’s useless to talk about it, Zheng Wei continued: “First of all, our biggest advantage, and the only advantage here, is the quality of the novel “The Da Vinci Code”. Just a newcomer without any name recognition, which is inherently inadequate in publishing."

Ye Chen nodded, expressing his approval.

Seeing this, Zheng Wei continued: "The second is publicity. Although I am the editor-in-chief of the publishing house, I can only try my best to get some resources, but no matter what, the publicity is definitely not as good as Zhu Jin's. This point I want you to be mentally prepared, this is also our biggest shortcoming."

Ye Chen nodded to express his understanding. Seeing Zheng Wei's face of deep thought, Ye Chen couldn't help saying:

"Since our own publishing house won't make too much publicity, can we let other newspapers and magazines do it for us?"

Zheng Wei was taken aback for a moment, then his face was a little unhappy and he said:
"Ye Chen, although I'm on your side now, I'm still the editor-in-chief of Huayu Publishing House first."

Ye Chen was startled after hearing this, and then realized that Zheng Wei had misunderstood. He also appreciated Zheng Wei's professional attitude a little more in his heart, but he still explained:

"Brother Zheng, you misunderstood. I don't want to break the contract and sign a contract with another publishing house, but I want to use other methods to let other media promote my novel."

After hearing this, Zheng Wei realized that he had misunderstood Ye Chen, and apologized to Ye Chen: "I'm sorry, Brother Zheng misunderstood you, don't blame it, don't blame it."

Ye Chen shook his head to show that he didn't care, then put his head into Zheng Wei's ear and whispered a few words.

"It's feasible, this method is good, but are you sure?" Zheng Wei nodded after hearing Ye Chen's method, and then asked.

"Brother Zheng, trust me, you can rest assured and wait for my good news."

"Success, Brother Zheng will wait."
