House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 50 - Broken Qiang Zi

”Almost finished?”

”When will the book befinished?”

”Have you finished itall?”

The SNS jumped crazily and there wasa series of questions. Qiang Ziʼs excited look could be perceived through thescreen.

After thinking about the developmentof the plot, Yang Yi typed on the keyboard: ”Next week or so.”

Qiang Zi felt his heart twitching…Itʼs finish by next week? What the heck is this? So soon, no matter itʼs BossHuʼs side, or his homepage cover recommendation, it is too late to apply andarrange!

”Canʼt you write more?”Asked Qiang Zi weakly.

”No.” The same simple and despairingreply.

Qiang Zi counted. Yang Yiʼs novel hasabout 300,000 to 500,000 characters.

Qiang Ziʼs head was a little dizzy,but he still knows his priorities. He organized his words and continued to ask,”Yang Yi, what are you going to write about your next book? Will you stillwrite military novels?”

Being asked this question, Yang Yiactually hasnʼt made any plans for his new book.

However, if thereʼs no plans, just thinkof one now!

”Maybe about the army. I have ageneral idea.” Yang Yi replied.

For example, ”Drawing Sword”that he had considered before, and which he very much liked in his previouslife, especially the novel version (uncensored). He was not very interested inthe army or the war, but Li Yunlongʼs character was too pleasing. As anassassin with a chivalrous heart, Yang Yi particularly admired Li Yunlongʼs braveryand fearlessness to the enemy, how he treats his brothers with a sincere heart,and his strong tenderness to his lover.

The novel is also more than 450,000 words.Moreover, the chapter breaks are better than ”Soldier Assault”. Afterall, ”Drawing Sword” pioneered commercial military novels, and isbetter adapted to peopleʼs reading than TV dramas in all aspects.

However, it has more problems than”Soldier Assault”. After all, this worldʼs history is different from YangYiʼs previous life. The trend has not changed, but the details are verydifferent. If Yang Yi wants to ”carry” this novel over, he himselfhad to study this worldʼs modern history and war history, and then adapt thestory according to the history of this world.

Itʼs a lot of work!

However, a little challenge isinteresting!

Yang Yi felt that his literary accomplishmentwas not bad. To adapt a popular work in his previous life into his own work,and then make the people of this world also crazy about it, that would be agreat sense of achievement!

Yang Yi had a lot of ideas in hismind, but Qiang Zi didnʼt know that Yang Yi had just come up with it. When hesaw the reply from SNS, he was very happy and quickly typed: ”Then I wouldlike to ask you, Yang Yi, no matter what, to publish your work on ourwebsite!”

”?” Yang Yi returned apuzzled expression.

”If you choose our website tocontinue to publish your work, then I will arrange more recommended positionsfor you, so that your works can be well promoted. Although the company does nothave its own channels for physical publication, it will also help you get intouch. This can also increase your income!”

However, if Qiang Zi didnʼt mentionedthese things, after finishing the book, Yang Yi will definitely continue topublish his new works on the Qiyue Chinese Website. He doesnʼt have that muchtime to wrestle with the problem of changing boss.

But Yang Yi was not a fool. He gave ChenYijie a concession before, because he received Grandpa Huʼs favor!

But at other times, Yang Yi is not aselfless guy. He will not give up his own interests easily. Otherwise, whyshould he ”collect” commission when dealing with corrupt officials andacting for heaven?

When Qiang Zi was anxious to get himto stay, Yang Yi realized that he was not dispensable, or perhaps a fragrantsteamed bun! (TN: No idea on what steamed bun represent here.)

Whatʼs the situation?

Yang Yi soon found the answer. Infact, it was on his book review area. It was so late, and there were people whowanted Yang Yi to go to the Iron Blood Network! As it happened, many editors havegotten off work, and the speed of deleting posts has slowed down…

By the way, Yang Yi also glanced atthe posts that sprayed him. (TN: Sprayed - give bad/negative comments, swearing,and unreasonable accusations.)

Some people scolded his literarytalent? Called this story bullsh*t, called the protagonist loser, and even calledthe author is S13? Why are there so many sprays in the internet? And also blindlylooked for Yang Yi? (TN: S13 = SB. As for the meaning of SB, clicked here: andlooked for SB)

Yang Yiʼs eyes were cold. However,he just kept this matter in his mind, and then slowly settle this account later!There will always be a day to make them ”comfortable”!

”Thatʼs all? What better termsdo you have?” Yang Yiʼs reply came only after a long time.

Qiang Zi was stupefied. He didnʼtknow how to reply for a while.

But Yang Yiʼs second sentence came, andit made him almost jumped up: ”It seems that someone asked me to go to theIron Blood Network? What about the Iron Blood Network?”

”Donʼt go!”

”Why?”

Qiang Zi held it for a long timebefore he replied, ”Because the Iron Blood Network canʼt give you enoughreaders!”

This is actually not wrong. Afterall, Qiyue Chinese Website is the largest literary website in the country. Ithas a wide variety of columns, and a huge library, so that its audience hasbeen maintained in the industryʼs highest scale, even accounting for half ofthe country is not an overstatement!

And Iron Blood Network, because it wastoo specialized, will always attract only a handful of military enthusiasts andveterans.

However, Yang Yi was silent.

Qiang Zi was also poor at expressing,much less mention what conditions to give Yang Yi. He suddenly had an inspirationand replied: ”Yang Yi, is it convenient for you to leave your address? Ithink itʼs more convenient to talk about it face to face. You can talk about whateverconditions you feel are right!”

After a while, Yang Yi sent hisaddress, and also attached his contact information. This made Qiang Zi finallyrelieved. As long as he can see the real person, Qiang Zi felt that there washope to make Yang Yi stay!

Even if Qiang Zi doesnʼt have thisability, Qiyue Chinese Website still has experts who are good at negotiation!

However, the relationship with theauthor still has to be maintained. Qiang Zi drank a large mouthful of coffeethat has already turned cold, refreshed himself, and was ready to continue todeepen his relationship with Yang Yi: ”Yang Yi, there is a question that Iʼmcurious about. At the beginning. Xu Sanduo fell off the bridge. Later, did hedie?”

However, it was as if his words werelike a stone that had been dropped into the sea again. Just like his previousprivate message, there was no reply…

”Yang Yi, are you stillthere?”

”Hello?”

”???”

”……”

Where did Yang Yi go?

Turning back the time a few minutesago, Yang Yi had just finished sending his address, when very coincidentally,the phone rang!

Yang Yi thought it was the editorwho saw his number calling. When he picked it up, he didnʼt even look who it was.”Hello?”

His tone was still very casual, anda little indifferent.

”Hello, surnamed Yang. What areyou doing?” Mo Fei asked coldly. The Scorpio iceberg big sister seems to bein a terrible mode of suspicion again. (TN: Explanation of Scorpio at the endof chapter)

Why is he so indifferent to my calls?

He didnʼt sound like that yesterday!

Call him, care about him… hisdaughter, and heʼs still angry and unhappy? (TN: Angry and unhappy: Raw was ”throwinghis face”)

The fire spread all of a sudden.

Yang Yi was confused by Mo Feiʼstone of voice. What was the situation? Did she eat some gunpowder?

However, Yang Yi has improved sincethen. After reading some books about parenting, he has learned a valuable skill!
