A week has passed since Ning Chunyan issued the strictest silence order to Lu Qingxuan, and the day for the postgraduate examination has arrived as scheduled.

The examination center of NTU is in the Chongwen Building of the school. Lu Qingxuan applied for the position of invigilator because of his status as the president of the student union (he can receive a 480 yuan subsidy for one day of invigilation).

But at this time she was worried about another thing.

Let’s not talk about that matter first, let’s talk about the so-called “strictest gag order”: Since they witnessed the tragic situation of contemporary novel authors when they were creating, in line with the principle that family scandals should not be made public, Ning Chunyan would like to warn all colleagues who are going with them.

Don't tell anyone about this, everyone should keep silent, and don't tell anyone else.

Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Qingluo to tell anyone, so this gag order was only directed at Lu Qingxuan. Naturally, Lu Qingxuan did not want to mention this matter. She even wanted time to wash away her memory like a waterfall.

However, when she dreamed about it at midnight, the image of a naked man wearing adult diapers still often appeared in front of her eyes. She would always get up and sit on the bed for a long time, and it was difficult to calm down.

However, her main headache at this time was another matter, a matter related to Du Kezhu.

Du Kezhu's popularity is quite high, and his popularity within the liberal arts academy is roughly between that of Haruki Murakami and Bob Dylan.

Her most famous deed is that she gave an outstanding student representative speech with pink hair on her head at the freshman opening ceremony. Since then, according to incomplete statistics, more than 26 boys have publicly confessed to her, and countless more have confessed privately.

Lu Qingxuan has always regarded her as her opponent.

This opponent is not a rival in love, nor does it involve any specific competition. "Considering someone as a rival" is Lu Qingxuan's way of survival.

She regards Du Kezhu as an opponent worthy of surpassing in the broad sense of "excellence". She has been pushing herself in this way since junior high school. In other words, Du Kezhu is her whetstone.

Her mentality towards her previous opponents is very subtle: she does not want her opponents to be too good, making it impossible for her to catch up; but she also does not want her opponents to collapse at the first touch, causing her to lose the fun of chasing. She always maintains a distant relationship with her opponents, such as Asuka Herring, Chun

Trees and dusk clouds.

The most important thing is: once you decide on your opponent, you cannot change it at will.

Changing the opponent is like cheating in the game. It will destroy all the rules and fun of the game and make her past persistence a meaningless obsession. She will only change the opponent after "defeating" the opponent.

As her eighth opponent, Du Kezhu had a tendency to disappoint her some time ago - first she lost her attitude towards learning, and then she took a long leave for unknown reasons. She was just thinking that this opponent's shelf life was too long.

There was not much left, and a bolt from the blue brought her game to the verge of collapse.

A few days ago, she met Duan Xiaosang under the introduction of Zhao Peilin.

Duan Xiaosang is a well-known book editor and planner and marketer. Her reputation is equally as infamous as her reputation. Her ability to create hot topics and provoke conflicts is equally amazing, and she has always maintained a good relationship with Lu Qingxuan's cousin.

When Zhao Peilin found her, he told her that Duan Xiaosang proposed something very tempting to him but he was unwilling to do it, so he recommended the person who had the ability to do it - her - to Duan Xiaosang.

Xiao Sang.

Lu Qingxuan was shocked after listening to Duan Xiaosang's opening remarks:

"Dukezhu is not the emperor?!"

She used to read Fei Tianzi's books with fascination, and imagined what kind of person the author was. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be her classmate, and he was also Du Kezhu.

"The key point is the last name." Duan Xiaosang tapped the table with his fingers, "Innocent Poet, this is the ID she uses in Wenwen."

Lu Qingxuan frowned: "Wen Yan? In my impression, isn't that a... chatting software?"

"Yes."

"Can girls do it too?"

"Why not?"

Lu Qingxuan nervously added: "This matter must not be known to classmates at school."

Duan Xiaosang smiled: "I'm not interested in ruining a student's reputation. What I care about is the person behind her, the little prince."

Lu Qingxuan showed a puzzled look, and Duan Xiaosang said: "The little prince is the script writer behind Wen Yan. In other words, Du Kezhu, as Wen Yan's head speech therapist, must know the little prince."

Lu Qingxuan asked: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to meet the little prince."

Lu Qingxuan tilted her head and thought about it, and said to herself, no wonder Zhao Peilin didn't want to get involved in this matter. It was very difficult just to confess to Du Kezhu about Wen Ming, let alone ask her to reveal the little prince.

"If you want to make an appointment with the little prince for an interview or something, you can contact our magazine. Our editor-in-chief Ning Chunyan knows him, and our magazine's editor Wang Zixu can also contact him."

Duan Xiaosang laughed at her naivety: "How could such a thing be revealed to your magazine? You are Xiao Mengyin's cousin. Let me be honest with you. I want to attract the little prince to our company and make him a

A new generation of best-selling authors.”

"Isn't this bad? The little prince himself is unwilling to reveal his true identity."

"It doesn't matter. This setting is very good. We can also create a number of hot spots around this setting. The key is that we have to connect with him, sign a contract, and make an agreement. As long as the cooperation is established, how to package it will be a matter later.

.”

Lu Qingxuan added: "Do we have to cooperate with the little prince? Why should we abandon the near and seek the far away? Why can't we directly cooperate with the non-emperor?"

Duan Xiaosang said: "She is indeed a talent worth exploring, but I have contacted her personally. The copyrights of her past works are all in the hands of the platform, and her writing style is not suitable for physical publishing. Her potential is limited. Really big

The fish is still a little prince."

Lu Qingxuan's heart rate accelerated a little, and she asked cautiously: "I heard that the copyright of a book by Fei Tianzi sold for 800,000 yuan. Is it true?"

Duan Xiaosang smiled: "What's 800,000? If the little prince signs a contract with our company, it won't be a problem to sell the copyright for 8 million. Have you seen his "Missing Kong Zhan"? There are already no less than three producers following him.

I asked about the copyright."

Lu Qingxuan said: "The copyright of "Missing Kong Zhan" belongs to the little prince himself, and our magazine is only responsible for publishing it."

"I know. Otherwise, the person sitting in your seat should be Ning Chun Yan." Duan Xiaosang finished speaking and lowered his voice, "We judge that the copyright of "Missing Kong Zhan" can be sold for 1.5 million."

"That's just a short story of less than 30,000 words!"

"That's right, it's just this short story. That's how someone bid it."

Lu Qingxuan suddenly had the feeling of looking up at a high mountain.

Duan Xiaosang added: "I heard from Xiao Meng that you also want to take the publishing route?"

Lu Qingxuan's expression was a little sad and angry. Who studied literature and didn't have a dream of publishing? Of course she wanted to. But after learning that Du Kezhu was not the emperor, she suddenly felt that her dream was a joke.

Her opponents have already become famous and have a family through writing, while her dream is still just a dream. Duan Xiaosang's question is nothing short of humiliating to her.

Duan Xiaosang knew something from her expression and smiled slightly: "If you help me this time, I can help you recommend your future works to magazines for publication."

A figure wearing adult diapers flashed in Lu Qingxuan's mind: "Really? We have an editor at the magazine. Shi Tonghe helped him recommend magazines, but all of them were rejected."

Duan Xiaosang smiled: "Are you talking about the author named Wang? He was tricked and offended people he shouldn't have offended. The guarantee I give you is to ensure that you will not be in such an embarrassing situation. You see

, how hurtful is it to have your manuscript rejected twice? It directly leads to the loss of hope for this year’s Feishi, and you can’t even find a magazine to publish it.”

Out of the principle of protecting her own people, Lu Qingxuan said stiffly: "That's not necessarily the case."

Duan Xiaosang added: "Sister Sang, I still have certain connections in the industry, and my guarantee is very valuable. As long as you can help me with this, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I can guarantee that you can be in the core

If you publish a manuscript in a journal, if I contact the little prince, I can ensure that you publish the manuscript in a first-class core journal."

After saying that, she winked at her again: "Besides, are you really not curious at all about the identity of the little prince?"

Lu Qingxuan was silent.

The answer to that question is curiosity. She was very curious.

Although she has always behaved as cold as an ice plum, as cold as the moon over frost and snow, and as unchanging as the jade dragon on the top of Kilimanjaro, the curiosity in her heart is like a burning fire.

When people talk about her work, they often ask with envy, "If you work at "New Appreciation" magazine, you must be able to meet the little prince, right?"

She always answered with a slight smile, no. Not only could she not, she couldn't even speak.

"But at least you have a chance to communicate with the other party about the manuscript." People say.

People envied her for working in the place closest to the little prince in the world, and admired her calmness about this privilege. In fact, how could she not be curious at all?

As the student president of NTU's Faculty of Arts, she could easily get internship opportunities at September and Modern magazines, but she chose New Awards partly because of the Little Prince.

Lu Qingxuan promised Duan Xiaosang to think about it, but Duan Xiaosang asked her to think about it quickly, otherwise she would have to find someone else.

This decision was very difficult for Lu Qingxuan.

She always felt that she felt sorry for Ning Chunyan by leaking the information about the little prince. After all, the little prince was our top author. If someone poached him, he might have less energy to contribute to our society.

Duan Xiaosang also knew this, so he would rather bypass the Ningchun Banquet and start with Du Kezhu.

But she finally convinced herself: if she succeeded, she could contact the little prince harmlessly. She could tell the little prince that Duan Xiaosang offered him an olive branch, and it was up to him to decide whether he was willing to accept it.

If he doesn't want to, she will never give out his contact information.

After waiting for a few days, she got a good opportunity. Postgraduate examinations are usually held in our school. There are three examiners in one classroom. There are not enough faculty and staff in our school to apply. Students also have the opportunity to take the exam, so she has a few places in hand.

She lobbied for an opportunity to invigilate the exam for Du Kezhu in the academy (this was not easy, after all, the teachers still remembered the pink color on her head), and in the name of the academy, she forced Du Kezhu to participate in the invigilation exam (this was

It’s not easy either, after all, she has a super deviant personality).

After some operation, it turned out to be the case. She specially arranged Du Kezhu to be in the same examination room as herself. This created an opportunity to be alone, and she was more confident in getting something out of her mouth.

The day before the exam, Diao Yiwen called her:

"Xiao Lu, are you at school? Can you help me look at the examination room?"

Lu Qingxuan responded enthusiastically: "Okay, I'll take a look at it for you and Brother Zixu."

Diao Yiwen said: "Sorry to trouble you. But can you contact Wang Zixu?"

"Uh..." Lu Qingxuan was speechless.
