At the thought of this, she called the chief editor immediately. The chief editor happened to be reading at this moment.
He would read novels on Tieba every day and choose some outstanding ones. Then, he would dig them into the "Banyan Tree Hole". This was a very effective way.
Just as he read the exciting part, the cell phone on the table rang.
He was about to hang up, but when he saw that it was Annie, he picked it up impatiently.
"Yes?"
"Chief Editor Yang, I saw an especially good book and want to sign it!"
Annie was concise.
She had been in this industry for 10 years and had rich experience. It was definitely a pity to miss such an author.
After all, she didn't have the only publishing house. There were all kinds of literary clubs. These were all their competitors.
Chief Editor Yang was stunned.
"Coincidentally, I have a book that I think is very good. Why don't you tell me yours first?"
"Candle in the Tomb!"
Chief Editor Yang's face lit up.
What a coincidence!
He happened to like this book. The plot was so exciting!
Moreover, he had a feeling that it was definitely a long story with this writing method!
These days, web novels were not very common. Everyone was still buying paper books.
However, most of the traditional literature was short and medium-length, with very few long stories.
It was good, but it could not earn a lot of money. If there was a popular long book series, it would be good news for the entire publishing house.
Moreover, it was a historic progress!
Because of his excitement, Chief Editor Yang's tone became much higher. "To be honest, I'm also reading this book!!!"
"I was about to tell you about this tomorrow morning. I didn't expect you to bring it up to me now!"
Annie suppressed her excitement. "Then it's settled. I'll be in charge of contacting this author tomorrow morning and strive to sign him over to our publishing house!"
"Alright, it's settled then!"
"Alright, Chief Editor, go to bed early."
"You should rest early too."
After hanging up, no one really slept.
Especially Chief Editor Yang.
He read the book again from the beginning.
Although it was only 35,000 words, this plot was really too good!
It was as if the author had personally experienced it. There was no obvious exaggeration, nor was there any cliché plot of pretending to be pretentious and slapping people's faces.
It was completely one climax after another, making one unable to stop watching!
No matter what, he had to sign this book with his publishing house!
***
10 o'clock.
Ding Hong only just went home after drinking.
Hearing the door open, Ding Suiwan hurriedly walked out of her bedroom.
She was wearing a set of home clothes with a pink half-sleeve.
She was wearing a pair of shorts of the same color. Her figure looked extremely good.
The warm yellow light made her fair skin look even more moist.
It had to be said that Ding Suiwan's legs were really good-looking. They were fair and slender, her thighs were tight, and her calves were well-proportioned, as if she had walked out of a comic.
However, that little bit of calf added a real and natural feeling.
Looking down, the touch of her ankle was even more beautiful. It was fair and tender with a hint of bone.
Her toes were long and small, the insteps were beautiful, and her nails were neatly trimmed with a healthy and lustrous color.
The girl looked at Ding Hong, her beautiful eyes filled with concern. "Dad, did you drink? Did you only come back now?"
"Yes, I drank a little. Where's your mother?" Ding Hong burped.
Li You had already called him to explain what had happened to her daughter today.
Ding Hong was in a good mood after clearing up the misunderstanding. Unknowingly, he drank more.
At this moment, his face was rosy. Because he had drunk alcohol, he felt inexplicably excited.
Ding Suiwan walked to the dining table and thoughtfully poured a glass of water for her father before walking over obediently.
"Mom is in her room. She should be resting."
Seeing how sensible his daughter was, Ding Hong couldn't help but dote on her.
"Suiwan, what happened during the day? Daddy misunderstood you. Daddy is apologizing to you. Daddy is also worried about you. I hope you can understand Daddy."
After saying that, he took the glass of water from Ding Suiwan.
He raised his head and took a sip.
He was really worried that his daughter would fall in love at a young age. The college entrance examination was coming soon, and he had been waiting for this for more than 10 years.
"I know. I'll study hard." After saying that, the girl glanced at her mother. "Um, Daddy, it's getting late. You should rest first. I'll revise for a while."
Her mother had said that she would speak up for Xiao Ran today. She could not waste her mother's time!
Her mother had to start this talk quickly!
It would be best if she could see the effect tomorrow!
Ding Hong nodded. He had indeed drunk a lot today. There were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with tomorrow. He had to rest early.
"Alright, Dad won't say anything else. Don't stay up too late."
"Mmm-hmm."
Ding Suiwan watched Ding Hong enter the bedroom before hurriedly walking into her bedroom.
Then, she leaned against the wall in the middle and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.
On the other hand, Li You was actually not asleep. After all, she could not sleep when her husband wasn't back. When she heard the bedroom door open, she sat up and looked at Ding Hong with concern.
"You're back."
"Yeah."
"How's Old Lu? Did your work go smoothly?"
"Same old thing."
Ding Hong replied as he took off his clothes.
There were no lights in the room, only dim starlight passing through the curtains.
Li You moved to the side. "Let me tell you something. Do you still remember the Xiao Family that used to live with us? It's Wu Cuifen's family!"
To be honest, Li You had a much deeper impression of Wu Cuifen than she did of Xiao Ran's father, Xiao Yuan.
After all, Wu Cuifen was really a capable person when she was young.
She had even helped her when she was busy.
Ding Hong lay down and found a comfortable position before saying, "Isn't it just Xiao Ran's family? Didn't they say that Little Wan was sent back by Xiao Ran today?"
At the mention of this, Ding Hong still felt a lingering fear.
To be honest, he was still in a doubtful state and still had a 40% disbelief attitude.
After all, he had seen them with his own eyes.
His Little Wan was grabbing Xiao Ran's clothes. No matter how he looked at it, they looked like a couple in love.
"That's right. It's their family. For some reason, Xiao Yuan got addicted to gambling and his family lost a lot of money. In the end, he ran away, making life difficult for the mother and son!"
At this point, Li You couldn't help but feel indignant for Wu Cuifen. "Do you think it's easy for a woman to help her husband pay his debts and raise her child at the same time?"
She was also someone who had given birth and naturally knew Wu Cuifen's hardships.
