Genius writer

Of course Tan Si heard it.He had heard it long ago.While Zhuang Mo was arguing with Xu Wei on the second floor, he sneaked out the door.

When Zhuang Mo went upstairs, Tan Si was standing outside Ren Mingqing's bedroom door whistling.

Zhuang Mo's face darkened: "What are you doing here?" When he came up just now, there was no one on the third floor.

"There is a balcony here!" Tan Si stretched out his hand to draw, "It's very comfortable under the sun, let me sit down."

Zhuang Mo didn't believe his nonsense at all, so he called Lin Xiaoyao directly: "Tan Si stole the manuscript."

"Shen Congxin!!!" Tan Si finally broke out at this moment.Although he usually acts foolishly, he is not without a bottom line.The shooter is the consensus in the industry anyway, what the hell is stealing manuscripts? !Does he have no self-respect?Why should he be wronged like this? !Why is it that in Shen Congxin's heart, she is not at all well?

"You have no character." Zhuang Mo blocked Tan Si and called Ren Mingqing up. "Go in and see what's missing."

Ren Mingqing knew that stealing manuscripts was a very serious accusation for a writer, and the most important thing was to find out the facts right now, so he hurried in.

Xu Wei accused behind his back: "Shen Congxin, you are enough. We are also authors who have been invited to compare manuscripts seriously. You said that Tan Si stole manuscripts. What level of master is he who needs to steal your author's manuscripts? You This kind of slander is too much!"

"What level of author is he, I know better than you."

"It's not a matter of standard at all!" Tan Si pushed Zhuang Mo, "Shen Congxin, I have done bad things, but I have never been malicious to you, because you are my brother, I care about you! What about you? !"

"Don't mention this!" Zhuang Mo shook his hand, "We have nothing to do with each other now, I'm the manager of Duta Mountain, you can discuss the matter with me."

"Are you just talking about the facts?! Everything is nothing more than thinking the worst, as if I do everything to harm you and treat me as an enemy!" Tan Si admits that he has selfish intentions and strives to win, but he often comes out Due to his idle nature, he couldn't help but play some pranks.To Ren Mingqing, after so many days of getting along, he didn't have much hostility towards him, and even planned to tell Zhuang Mo about the conspiracy of double signatures from the very beginning.

"I regard you as an enemy? Do you regard me as a brother?" Zhuang Mo was annoyed, "You treat me as a brother, and you let Xu Wei do the film project of "The Paradise"?! I spent a lot of money on your case. How much effort and energy have been spent. Seeing that the business has finally blossomed after several years, I went to the United States to sign the contract for half a month. When I came back, you two stole my seal and handed over the project to others! Ask yourself, you are just like me Brother's?"

"That's because you didn't want me anymore at that time!" Tan Si pushed him against the wall again, "Do you think I'm doing it for money? Have you looked at me since Xiaomu's accident?!"

"Speak well if you have something to say." Xu Wei tried to persuade him from the side.

Zhuang Mo pushed Tan Si away, stroked his suit, his brows were full of gloomy hostility: "You'd better not mention this to me."

Tan Si has a fiery personality, and this matter has been on his mind for nearly a year and a half. At this time, he vented like a volcanic eruption: "You think I hurt your sister! It's all my fault from the beginning to the end! No matter how much I apologize, You have always been unwilling to forgive me in your heart. I just want to ask you, am I so unforgivable?! I am not the one who hurt her! I am not the only one who failed to take good care of her! Your brother is the same Dereliction of duty! Why do you push everything on my head!"

"How dare you say..." Zhuang Mo was so angry that his fingertips were shaking, and suddenly he punched him.

Tan Si did not show weakness, and grabbed his wrist vigorously, her eyes were fierce, but there was an imperceptible red circle hidden.

Xu Wei expected that a fight was about to start, so he quickly retreated to the second floor, not wanting to be affected by them.

Lin Xiaoyao entered the door and saw the scene of the two confronting each other: "What are you doing?"

Tan Si and Zhuang Mo still want to save face, and they are also famous people in the circle when they say it out, and they die in front of Party A.Zhuang Mo calmed down and said to Lin Xiaoyao, "Please adjust the monitoring."

Tan Si's heart skipped a beat, why is there surveillance in this building? !This is really yellow mud in the crotch, not shit or shit.

Although Lin Xiaoyao didn't know the ins and outs, after experiencing the gunman incident last time, her impression of Tan Si fell to the bottom.Since Zhuang Mo asked for an investigation, she used her authority to enter the smart home system and checked the monitoring of the corridors on the second and third floors.For privacy, there are no cameras in the house, but there are everywhere else.Surveillance showed that Tan Si entered Dutashan's room around 2 o'clock, and came out in a hurry after half an hour, and was caught by Zhuang Mo.

Xu Wei was the first to speak: "Even if the surveillance camera captured Master Tan Si going in and out of Dutashan's bedroom, so what? Is there a rule that writers are not allowed to visit each other?"

Lin Xiaoyao said: "At that time, Teacher Du Tashan could code words at the bottom. This is not called visiting, this is called going to the empty door."

Xu Weiwei smiled: "I know, you doubt the motive of Master Tan Si entering the door, suspecting that he is stealing the manuscript of a competitor, but if you think about it carefully, what is the meaning of this? Didn’t he crash the car if he used it?”

When Lin Xiaoyao thought about it, he also felt that stealing the manuscript did not make sense.No matter how Tan Si couldn't write it, he couldn't just copy Du Tashan's manuscript, right?The backgrounds of their two stories are different, can the plot be copied?That's just too stupid.

Lin Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out, but Zhuang Mo did, and his heart sank: Tan Si must have come to steal those two hidden lines!

The outline provided by Ren Mingqing is short of these two dark lines.If Tan Si gets it, L4 may turn their backs and deny anyone, and hang Ren Mingqing's manuscript under Tan Si's name and announce it to the public!Anyway, there is already a full version of the outline, who can't write it?

So the key is... Did Tan Si steal it?

Ren Mingqing checked around and walked back to Zhuang Mo.

Zhuang Mo stared coldly at Tan Si who was completely empty: "Is there anything missing?"

Ren Mingqing also stared at Tan Si.

After a long time, he said, "No."

Tan Si came back to life and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhuang Mo refused to believe it: "Are you sure?"

Ren Mingqing hummed hard.

Zhuang Mo suspected that Ren Mingqing didn't understand what was going on at all, and continued to challenge Tan Si: "There is a computer inside, who knows what he copied, otherwise why would he sneak into the room?"

Unexpectedly, Ren Mingqing spoke again: "God Tan Si told me that he came to my room to check the information. He banned the Internet, so it is inconvenient for others to check."

Lin Xiaoyao intuited that there was something hidden behind this matter, but she was only a member of the reviewers, so she didn't get involved deeply, so she could only warn the two teachers: "There are still a few days left before the draft competition, please don't enter the other party's room casually."

Xu Wei remained calm.He only cares about whether he has stolen it.

Zhuang Mo glanced back and forth between Tan Si and Ren Mingqing, and he already realized that Ren Mingqing was deliberately helping Tan Si.How is this going?Ren Mingqing should know about the hidden thread. The two of them participated in the dismantling of the hidden thread. He also knew how important this matter was. He couldn't possibly lie about it.

Zhuang Mo finally stepped aside, and Tan Si followed Xu Wei downstairs.When he passed by, he took a peek at Ren Mingqing, and Ren Mingqing quickly lowered his head.

Tan Si smiled slightly and walked into her bedroom.

"Did you steal it?" Xu Weiwei asked anxiously after closing the door.

"I stole your mother!" Tan Si said angrily.

The cowhide notebook in his arms was hot on his chest.

-

"Are you sure he didn't steal it?" In the room above, Zhuang Mo couldn't wait to confirm to Ren Mingqing.

Ren Mingqing took out the outline notebook from his arms, and opened it to him: "Even the strands of your hair are there."

"Okay." Zhuang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, this was the only bargaining chip in his hand, and there was still something to talk about.

Zhuang Mo put on his coat and prepared to go out.

Although Ren Mingqing said that he didn't steal it, that's just that he didn't steal it. The other side has a villainous heart, and this is the most important thing.Xu Wei must have colluded with his superiors to make such a dirty trick. He had the approval of the high-level to do this, otherwise he would not have the guts!This shows that Party A has no intention of allowing Ren Mingqing to win this pitch and become the chief world architect of "Glory of Heroes"!

"Where are you going?" Ren Mingqing asked.

Zhuang Mo pulled him over, and asked Lin Xiaoyao who was beside him: "Help me take care of Teacher Du Tashan."

Lin Xiaoyao didn't understand what it meant, but still nodded.She has long been overwhelmed by Du Tashan's talent, and she is more inclined to Tan Si's intentional guidance of public opinion to suppress new authors for the events of the year.

After Zhuang Mo went out, he couldn't wait to see Mr. Mu.

Not long after, Xu Wei also received a call and went to Mr. Mu's office to discuss in detail.

Neither of them came back that night.

-

Early the next morning, Ren Mingqing went downstairs and found Xu Wei making coffee in the kitchen.When he saw Xu Wei, he took two steps back subconsciously. Xu Wei was still as gentle and refined as ever: "Mr. Dutashan, can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

"I still have to catch up on the manuscript."

"It's related to your rush to draft."

"My contract is in the hands of Mr. Zhuang. If you have anything to talk to him about."

"It's also related to your contract." Xu Wei gestured and walked forward first.

Ren Mingqing thought of Zhuang Mo's failure to return all night last night, and sat down opposite him.

Xu Wei made him a cappuccino.

"Mr. Du, I'm here today on behalf of Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu is the general manager of our Penguin Entertainment section. He admires Mr. Du's talent. It's like this. I mentioned to you a few days ago that "Glory of Heroes" It is impossible for us to write this project for outside authors. At that time, it was also because your book fit well with our project, Mr. Du, so we thought about whether we could try it first, and the effect was indeed very good. I agree. Now the only thing left is your contract issue, and Mr. Mu asked me to ask you what you mean."

"That is to say, if I am not the person who watches the text, the cooperation will be terminated?"

"Yes."

Ren Mingqing got up and left: "Then stop."

Xu Wei hurriedly grabbed his wrist: "Teacher Du, don't be so impatient. You should think about it carefully. After all, it is a matter of your life."

"I have nothing to think about, I will not terminate the contract with Mr. Zhuang."

"The opportunity is rare. Now that you have cooperated with L4 to such an extent, wouldn't it be a pity to give up? Once you become the world architect of "Glory of Heroes" in the future, Penguin can give you more resources than Mr. Shen. And Shen He always praises you for selfish reasons, and you may not know what he is doing in Guanwen."

Seeing that Ren Mingqing frowned, Xu Wei immediately stopped talking: "Of course I didn't intend to deliberately provoke the relationship between you two. As a messenger, I do a thankless job. After meeting with you, I will not stop Going upstairs to coax God Tan Si. The reason why I said this is that we and Shen are always old acquaintances. You have just met him not long ago, and you may not know his character very well, but we worked with him for a while. It is more fair and objective to judge him from the outside. He is very powerful, and I think you must feel it, but his strength is not always selfless. If he feels the need, he will use your authorship To promote something, regardless of whether you will be hurt by it. That is to say, he will regard the author as his own accessory. It was because of this that Master Tan Si broke up with him. I know You have a very good relationship with him, but sometimes you need to listen and listen."

He spoke very beautifully, punching with his heart and pointing to the end, but Ren Mingqing was a master who went to the Pacific Ocean with his butt crooked, and his tone became more and more cold: "I am very happy to cooperate with Mr. Zhuang, and I am also very satisfied with him personally. Any comments, don't bother you."

Xu Wei was embarrassed for a moment, but immediately accompanied by a decent smile: "Then let's go back to the contract issue. Your personal cooperation with Mr. Shen may affect the future development because of the relationship between the two of you. There will be no such problem. If you are an individual to a company, it must be more fair and transparent than an individual to an individual.”

Ren Mingqing still said the same thing: "You can talk to Mr. Zhuang about the contract."

"That's what Mr. Shen meant. You can call him now to ask him." Xu Wei said politely.

Ren Mingqing was stunned, then said "Sorry" and stood up to make a phone call.

Xu Wei put down his coffee and left politely.

Last night, Xu Wei tortured Tan Si repeatedly, only to find that Tan Si was indeed not there to steal the manuscript. Tan Si never said what he was doing in Dutashan's room, which made Xu Wei very happy.

However, Tan Si's bewildering operation made Shen Congxin mistakenly think that Penguin's executives had ideas about Du Tashan's draft, fearing that the follow-up would be delayed, and neither the person nor the text could be kept. Shan's manuscript was preserved.

Taking advantage of his psychological weakness, Mr. Mu locked him in his office, called the lawyer to him, and forced him to reveal Du Tashan's brokerage contract.

Shen Congxin had to deal with it all night, physically unable to keep up, and emotionally he was about to collapse. When Xu Wei came out, he already showed signs of letting go.

Xu Wei kindly came to pay a visit to his future new author in advance.

Xu Wei didn't want Shen Congxin to make a comeback.Shen Congxin put his treasure on Duta Mountain, either press Duta Mountain to death, or take Duta Mountain back, in short, Shen Congxin can't let Duta Mountain fly up together.The editor and the author are one, Dutashan has risen, and Shen Congxin is a big boss in the circle.This person is too troublesome, Xu Wei can't let this happen in public or private.

This is the best way to get rid of Du Tashan and Shen Congxin.

-

Ren Mingqing avoided Xu Wei, walked into the garden, and hung up on the phone for Zhuang Mo.Zhuang Mo didn't sleep all night last night, his voice haggard, Ren Mingqing's call finally made him come to the corridor to breathe.

"Xu Wei came to look for me." Ren Mingqing cut to the chase, "What's going on with you?"

"It's nothing, it's just a contract." Zhuang Mo pretended to be relaxed.

"You want to give me to someone else?" Ren Mingqing was very sad when he said that, as an author, he did not have the power to decide his own destiny.

Zhuang Mo said gently: "Don't worry, we are still the same as before. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. I will do the same wherever your contract is."

Zhuang Mo was fine on the surface, but his voice was deeper than usual. Ren Mingqing could understand his tiny emotional language, and he was very lost at the moment.

But Zhuang Mo didn't allow himself to show any strangeness in front of Ren Mingqing.Whether he is a manager or a partner, he regards himself as the stronger party, and if something happens, he will protect Ren Mingqing from the wind and rain.Just like this time, the higher-ups took action against Ren Mingqing. Instead of having the manuscript written by Ren Mingqing stolen and labeled with someone else's name, it is better for him to withdraw. At least let Ren Mingqing get this honor and let him sign the title page of the story he wrote .

"Listen to me. The reason we've been at war for the past two months is to win this case. This is the most important step in your career as a writer. You have to go. Now you have conquered the whole world with words. L4, take your text content out, Tan Si can't compete with you, and even L4 has started a new version of the update plan according to your idea, this is all obtained by your ability, you should be "Hero The Chief World Architect of Glory. We also dismantled two hidden lines and held them in our hands. If they don’t give you the corresponding treatment, you won’t get the full draft. This position belongs to you.”

When Zhuang Mo said this, his heart ached, but he still gently enlightened Ren Mingqing: "It's only natural for them to want your contract. You have been involved so deeply, and they hope that you can cooperate with them for a long time. I will help you fight for it." best interest."

"What about you? What do you do?"

"It's true that I'm no longer your editor, your writer's agent, but what's the relationship between us, huh? We're still connected, and I'm not leaving you. They want you full-time, and I'm sure not." I will agree, I am working with them for a long time every year, and the rest of the time you can freely create as before. I guess your other works will be handed over to Guanwen for operation. What is Xu Wei's attitude towards you? , I don't know yet, Tan Si will definitely target you. But it doesn't matter, I will still help you. I used to represent your works directly, but now I just go to Guanwen to buy them. It's just a little troublesome. Let's Do it secretly, just follow their procedures, who can say that we are not?"

"I don't understand." Ren Mingqing choked up and said, "We clearly signed the contract in black and white. We are upright and justified. Why do we have to do it secretly now?"

Zhuang Mo's heart was broken when he asked in a crying voice.He raised Ren Mingqing so much, holding it like a pearl in his palm, and suddenly someone snatched it away, and he felt even more reluctant.He is more dependent on him than Ren Mingqing imagined.How hard is it to find top authors?Ren Mingqing is not a one-in-a-thousand or one-in-a-thousand author at all. He is the kind of genius who has a very small chance of losing. Zhuang Mo's entire career is betting on Ren Mingqing.As soon as he let go, Ren Mingqing just changed his employer, but he... has nothing left.

But Zhuang Mo is very sensible.This case must be accepted, after this village there is no such shop.It doesn't matter who the person behind Ren Mingqing is, the important thing is that he must tear this resource for him.Ren Mingqing should take this step right now, and we will talk about it later, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.Now Penguin is very tough and refuses to give in. If he took Ren Mingqing home because of his grievances and reluctance, what kind of person would he be?Ren Mingqing will hate him in the future.

"Don't sign it yet." Ren Mingqing told him.

"Don't panic, wait at least another two weeks." In such a hurry, and still putting him under house arrest, it is absolutely impossible for Zhuang Mo to sign any documents at this kind of stall.Not only did he not sign, but he even slipped away while calling Ren Mingqing.There were clauses in the contract that were not negotiated, so Zhuang Mo went to the airport as soon as he left home, planning to return to City B and move his team of lawyers back to fight again.

"What about in two weeks? The signing will still be signed, right?" Ren Mingqing asked.

Zhuang Mo didn't say anything, it was his acquiescence.

Ren Mingqing sighed, and said softly to him: "Then you should have a good sleep first, your health is important." After asking for a while, she hung up the phone.

He knew that Zhuang Mo was doing it for his own good, Zhuang Mo always wanted to give him the best, even if he was sacrificed, he would send him to the sky.

-

However, although Ren Mingqing has a gentle temperament, he is very stubborn on certain issues of principle.

Just like this time, what Zhuang Mo said made sense, but Ren Mingqing decided not to listen.

He is the author of Zhuang Mo, he was in the past, he is now, and he will be in the future.If they force Zhuang Mo away, he won't write a single word for them.
