For a smoker, he will smoke when he is in a bad mood; when he is in a good mood, he will subconsciously take out a cigarette to smoke.

At this time, Lu Yang, who was in a happy mood, subconsciously took out the cigarette box and popped out a cigarette to light it.

In the smoke rising, Lu Yang habitually narrowed his eyes, and his squinting eyes were still looking at the email address on the screen.

Two publishing houses have agreed to publish his new book.

Do you want to sign a contract with one of them?

Lu Yang was already thinking about this issue while smoking a cigarette in his mouth.

As mentioned earlier, these two publishers are the two publishers that Lu Yang knows that the fastest review speed in Taiwan.

At the same time, it is also the two companies with the lowest receiving standards.

The reason why they receive manuscripts is the lowest is naturally only one reason - to grab excellent manuscripts, they cannot grab several other stronger publishers.

In other words, these two publishing houses are relatively weak in the publishing industry in Taiwan.

A book can only be signed to one person.

Should I sign it to one of these two companies?

Lu Yang didn't think about it for long, and he made a decision in his heart.

Wait a little longer!

Lu Yang said this to himself in his heart.

Although e Publishing House was the owner of his first work before his rebirth, its strength was relatively weak after all, and it closed down a few years later, so it was not a good choice.

The strength of f Publishing House is not far from that of e Publishing House, so Lu Yang plans to wait.

A day or two after Lu Yang sent out his five submission letters, the five publishing houses successively sent a brief reply. The content of the reply letter was not related to the review result, but just told Lu Yang that after receiving Lu Yang's submission, they would reply to it within how long they would be completed after the review was completed.

a Publishing House is a large publishing house with very strong strength in Lu Yang's memory, but they generally only publish works of very famous writers.

B Publishing House and C Publishing House are also very strong, and there are many works of great authors published.

The review period for them and the one Publishing House to Lu Yang's reply was 15 working days. Except for the two weekends that were not working days in the middle, Lu Yang had to wait about 20 days.

Thinking of waiting for another week, Lu Yang was a little worried that if all three companies refused to publish, e-Publishing House and f Publishing House changed their minds because they waited too long and were no longer willing to publish his work.

However, this concern did not change Lu Yang's mind.

A publisher is very likely to reject it, but Lu Yang thinks that at least one of the publisher b and c publisher should be able to like his works.

After smoking a cigarette, Lu Yang turned off the computer and got up and left the Internet cafe.

Lu Yang did not give an answer to the signing requirements of e-Publishing House and f Publishing House, as if he had not read the two emails.

The next week, Lu Yang's heart was a little worried and irritable.

I am afraid that there will be variables in the matter of publishing houses.

After evening class every day, Lu Yang's mood was affected when he was writing in the teaching building No. 3. Sometimes, he opened the manuscript paper and held a pencil, but because of his mood, he was unable to get into the state of writing.

This situation becomes more and more serious as time goes by.

It was so serious that for a few moments, Lu Yang couldn't help but want to get up and go to Xingyu Internet Cafe, and wrote back to one of the two publishing houses and agreed to sign the contract.

Anyway, the manuscript fee you can get is almost the same when you sign your first work.

However, the thoughts didn't shake for a long time, and Lu Yang quickly calmed down his disordered mood, continued to stick to the first decision, and continued to wait.

A week passed in such an emotional state.

During this week, Lu Yang did not go to the Internet cafe once.

Even when he wrote the article until late at night until 12 o'clock in the evening, Lu Yang was obviously very hungry, so he refused to go to the back door of the school to buy food like he did a few days ago.

They all took the written manuscript back to the dormitory and soaked instant noodles.

Because Lu Yang was afraid that he would walk to the back door of the school and approach the Internet cafe, he would shake his decision again, so he couldn't help but walk into the Internet cafe and agreed to sign a contract with one of the publishing houses.

Once the contract is signed, it will be almost impossible to change it.

After the last class on the afternoon of the seventh day, Lu Yang brought paper and pen as usual to the classroom where he stayed every day in the teaching building No. 3, where he was used to sitting.

I spread out the snow-white manuscript paper and held the pencil I had just cut, but I was unable to start writing for a long time.

What I thought about in my heart was no longer the plot of the novel.

All in my mind were reply from the remaining three publishing houses.

They should have all replied today, right?

Will all three companies refuse to publish?

As long as one agrees!

All in my mind are similar thoughts.

After more than half an hour, Lu Yang found that his heart could not enter the ethereal state of writing. In anger, with a "bang", he slapped the pencil in his hand heavily on the desk in front of him.

A good pencil was instantly taken into three pieces.

"Damn it! Don't write it anymore! Let's see the results now!"

Lu Yang suddenly stood up, grabbed the manuscript paper and tea cup, and then walked downstairs.

Lu Yang originally planned to write two chapters today like he did a few days ago, and then go to the Internet cafe to check the reply.

But he overestimated his concentration.

Thinking that those three publishing houses might have sent a reply, his heart was always worried about gains and losses, and he could not enter the state of writing at all.

When he found that it was impossible for him to continue writing tonight, Lu Yang made up his mind and decided to make an exception to not write tonight!

If all the three publishers refused to publish and those two had changed their minds before, then no matter how well they wrote the novel, it would not make much sense.

And if it can be published smoothly, it doesn’t matter if you don’t write it all night.

Not long after, Lu Yang came to Xingyu Internet Cafe.

Proficiently swipe your card, turn on the computer, and log in to NetEase Email.

Lu Yang finished a few things quickly.

Lu Yang saw that there were 7 new emails in the email inbox location.

7 letters...

This number completely exceeded Lu Yang's expectations.

Shouldn't it be 3 letters?

Lu Yang didn't know why there were 4 more shots, and this situation completely exceeded his expectations.

For a moment, I couldn't help but wonder: Did e Press and f Press change my mind and cancel my intention to sign the contract because I didn't agree to sign for so long?

As soon as this thought came out, Lu Yang's heart couldn't help but sink.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yang gritted his teeth and tried to calm himself down. He took out the cigarette box in his arms, popped up a cigarette and lit it. After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down his mind and clicked on the inbox with the computer mouse.

After the inbox was opened, 4 of the 7 new emails were displayed. Sure enough, 4 were sent by e-Publishing House and f Publishing House, and each company sent 2.

The other three letters, as he expected, were replies from the other three publishing houses.

Lu Yang hesitated slightly which email to click first.

After only two seconds of hesitation, Lu Yang clicked on the reply from a Publishing House.

"Hello, Wen Chou! I'm sorry to inform you that your work "Doom Wasteland" has not met the standards of publishing by our company. I hope you have better works. Welcome to submit it again at that time. - Seraphite"

Without Lu Yang's expectations, A-Publishing House, which has always adhered to the famous line, rejected his manuscript.

My heart feels cold.

Although I had expected such a reply, Lu Yang could not help but feel disappointed when he saw the rejected text.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yang clicked on the reply from b Publishing House again.

"To Wen Choujun: The manuscript has been collectively reviewed by our editorial department. I am sorry that it has failed to meet the standards of publishing in our company. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. - Reflection of the Starry Sky."

Seeing this reply, Lu Yang felt even more cold.

At this time, Lu Yang felt a sense of regret in his heart.

I regret why I have to be so confident and have to wait for the reply from these three publishers. Wouldn’t it be better to sign a contract with one of the first two publishers? Anyway, if the manuscript fee for the first book is similar, no matter whether the publisher is strong or weak?

There are also replies from C Publishing House...

With last hope, Lu Yang clicked on the reply from C Publishing House.

If C Publishing House also refuses, even if it can be published in one of the first two Publishing Houses in the end, Lu Yang's confidence will be greatly hit.

Because, such a result means that he was reborn 10 years ago, his novel writing level could only reach the minimum publishing standards of ordinary small publishing houses in Taiwan.

He is not as good as he thought.

"Hello, Wen Chou! Your work "Doom Wasteland" has been strictly reviewed for 15 working days and has passed the final review of our editorial department. Is the traditional Chinese publishing house of "Doom Wasteland" still in the hands of Wen Chou? If it is still in your hands, is Wen Chou willing to cooperate with our company to sign a traditional Chinese publishing contract? - Salmon"
