The ending is unexpected, but reasonable.

I believe many people have heard this sentence more than once from their teachers when they were in school.

And the shock that this writing technique brings to readers is unparalleled, and it can be called a pearl in the writing world.

Countless works of art, novels, films, games, etc. have all used this narrative technique to a greater or lesser extent.

It can be said that the "O. Henry" ending has brought profound influence to the art world and continues to this day.

Bai Qianqu also discovered a long time ago that there is no such writing technique in this world.

It’s time to initiate a revolution! Let people in this world also feel the charm of the ultimate reversal!

According to the memory in his mind, Bai Qianqu quickly wrote "The Gift of the Magi". The full text is about 3500 words, which for him only takes a few minutes.

After finishing the novel, Bai Qianqu directly chose to send it by email. Later, he received a message from "Qianzhiwu" saying that his clothes had been customized, so he hurried out to pick up the clothes.

But he didn't notice that he had sent the email to the wrong person in a hurry, and the email that was supposed to be sent to Ye Xiao was now sent to Raven's mailbox.

At this time, Raven was communicating with her group of authors in the office. Although she was on vacation, she did not go back to her villa, but chose to work overtime at the company.

She plans to go back until New Year's Eve. After all, the overtime pay for these few days of overtime is still considerable.

Although her year-end bonus has increased a lot thanks to "The Master" this time, the pressure on her mortgage still exists, which makes her dare not relax at all.

At this time, she noticed the email sent by Qian Jian, quickly put down what she was doing, and quickly opened the email.

As long as it is a Qianjian matter, it must be dealt with immediately. This is the highest principle she has set within the entire department.

"What good thing did Teacher Qianjian send over again? Huh? A document? There is another sentence on it?"

Raven looked at the words in the email and read them word by word.

"I'm going to have dinner. Editor Ye Xiao, please take a look at this short story first. After reading it, you can finalize the manuscript fee..."

Raven's entire brow furrowed, and she immediately understood what had happened.

Qianjian sent the wrong email!

This email was originally intended to be sent to Ye Xiao, but it was sent to him instead!

But that's not important!

The raven suddenly stood up! I just feel angry!

"Ye Xiao contacted my Thousand Swords privately and made an appointment for a manuscript?!"

"Isn't this poaching me right under my nose?!"

Can this be tolerated? !

Raven clenched her teeth tightly and dialed Gray Snake's number without caring about the situation.

At this time, Gray Snake didn't go home either. He was also working overtime at the company... reading comics.

Recently, he was addicted to Zhiyin's "Initial D" and enjoyed reading it. He even bought a manual car.

At this time, he was watching the exciting part, and suddenly a phone rang, startling him.

After picking it up and looking at it, he realized that the call was from Raven, and Gray Snake pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Editor Raven, what's wrong?"

Raven's tone was still full of anger: "Chief Editor! Something big has happened! You can't just ignore it!"

problem occurs? !

Gray Snake's eyes immediately became sharp, he straightened his back, and his tone was very calm.

"Editor Raven, don't worry, tell me what happened first."

Raven was furious: "Someone is poaching my corner!"

"Poaching?" Gray Snake breathed a sigh of relief. Poaching is unavoidable for any company, especially for World Snake Library. Their company's outstanding authors often receive invitations from other companies, and they themselves often It is normal to invite people from other companies to poach each other.

Gray Snake said in a relaxed tone: "This kind of thing is normal. Just follow the previous steps to handle it. Test the author first. If he really wants to leave, he will go through the liquidated damages process."

The raven was anxious: "But this time it's Thousand Swords that are being hunted!"

Gray Snake trembled and stood up.

"What?! Who dares to dig out Thousand Swords? Who dares to reach out to our company after eating a bear's heart?"

"What did Qian Jian say? Did he agree? What conditions did the other party offer? Tell Qian Jian, no matter what conditions the other party offered, we will pay double! We must keep him!"

Gray Snake knows very well that Qianjian is now a real hot commodity, and countless companies outside want to poach him.

It was precisely because of this that he hid Qianjian's information for fear of being found by others.

Although I know that paper cannot cover the fire, Qianjian's information will be known to others sooner or later, but it can be delayed for one day.

The last thing he wanted to see was for Thousand Swords to be poached, which would be a huge loss to the World Snake Library.

Raven: "It wasn't someone from outside who dug it, it was someone from within us! Ye Xiao contacted Qianjian privately and made an appointment with him!"

Gray Snake:..........

He was complaining wildly in his heart.

This raven was breathing heavily, and he thought it was another company coming to rob people, which frightened him to death.

He regained his composure: "Isn't Ye Xiao managing a short story magazine? Why is he trying to steal Thousand Swords from you?"

"Qian Jian can also write short stories. You forgot, he also won the Short Story Award before!"

"Oh, that seems to be the case." Gray Snake thought for a while and said, "Although the same company stipulates that editors cannot poach each other, after all, your two departments are not in the same track, short stories and novels. Since there is no conflict in the novel, it is not impossible for him to write short stories."

Raven said anxiously: "But an author's energy and time are limited! What if he writes short stories but has no time to write novels in the future? Or if he develops in the field of short stories and gives up novels, it will It’s not impossible!”

"This..." Gray Snake is also a little confused. Logically speaking, which field the author wants to develop in is their own business and they can't control it. However, selfishly, they still hope that Qian Jian will continue to stay in the long novel. After all, long novels have a large audience and a wide range of influence, and can bring more profits and fame to the company.

Finally, Gray Snake sighed and said, "This matter still depends on Qian Jian's own wishes. We can't force him to only write novels."

Raven was still unconvinced: "But Night Owl's behavior is very bad! You must give me an explanation!"

She didn't dare to deal with Qianjian, but she wasn't afraid of Ye Xiao anymore!

The current Raven is the first sister of the World Snake Library!
