    At this time, both trains and buses will be slightly slower, so even though the magazine office is not very far from Qiao Mu's home, Zhang Shumin and Wang Juanru still arrived at the county seat where Qiao Mu is located at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

    By half past five.

    Only then, carrying the fruit basket, did he find Qiao Mu¡¯s house.

    A formal knock on the door.

    Needless to say, the polite greetings in front are nothing more than saying good things to each other and wearing high hats.

    Qiao Mu, who was having dinner, saw that her parents were almost at a loss for words. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation that might result from running out of words, she immediately stood up, said hello, and led the two editors from the magazine to her  inside the house.

    And turned around to ask her mother to cut some fruit.

    Then he opened the door ajar and asked directly:

    ¡°You two are here with a mission, right?

    Tell me, what is it?  "

    "Ms. Qiao, we really didn't expect you to be so young. You are really young and promising!"

    Wang Juanru was really embarrassed to say that she came here to correct Qiao Mu¡¯s writing direction.

    So I can only continue to be polite.

    I plan to wait until everyone gets a little familiar with it.

    Let¡¯s get down to business.

    ¡°Don¡¯t use polite words, I don¡¯t like it.

    If you have something to say, just say it directly. Let¡¯s all be honest with each other. There is no need to be too roundabout.  "

    It¡¯s not like fighting in the harem in ancient times, or discussing business with others. There is really no need to discuss things in such a roundabout way. Qiao Mu didn¡¯t like it either, so she immediately asked directly.

    She spoke directly, which made Zhang Shumin and the others a little embarrassed, but they reacted quickly, laughed awkwardly twice, and then said: "You are really quick to talk.

    We will tell you directly without being polite.

    ??Actually, our visit this time is also at the request of our editor-in-chief to visit you.

    Not only to send over the royalties from the second and third editions of the previous books, but also to discuss some things with you and ask your thoughts.  "

    Having said this, Zhang Shumin opened her bag first and handed several remittance orders worth a total of seventy or eighty thousand to Qiao Mu, and then continued: "The royalties are all here, take a look.

    We, the editor-in-chief, just feel that the manuscripts you have submitted recently seem to deviate a little from the definition of martial arts. Some people's martial arts and some things in them seem too magical.

    You also know that our magazine is named after martial arts, and the content in it is better to be more direct martial arts or chivalrous content.

    If it is too biased, some readers may mistakenly think that our magazine has changed, or that it is not related to martial arts. Of course, we have not said that we want you to change your mind about the subsequent plot. We, the editor-in-chief, just want to ask, do you plan to continue to press the magazine in the future?  Will you write novels in the same genre as before, or will you write more and more powerful novels in the future, transitioning to the level of gods and monsters?

    We have no intention of blaming for the termination of the contract. We just ask, yes, just ask, so that we can be better prepared.  "

    Facing the cash cow of their magazine, Zhang Shumin's words were really polite and tactful. Some words had to be pondered several times in her mind before she could say them out, for fear of making Qiao Mu unhappy.

    Then submit the manuscript to other magazines.

    If that happens, although their magazine will not go bankrupt, its readers and sales will definitely drop. This is obviously a huge loss.

    So naturally, if you can¡¯t offend, you won¡¯t offend.

    "Understood, I understand what you mean.

    Your editor-in-chief is quite responsive. Indeed, I do have the idea of ????transitioning in other directions. It is not wrong to say that it is weird.

    In this case, what are you going to do?  "

    Qiao Mu had actually expected that the other party would come to talk to her about the change in the content and style of her article, but she didn¡¯t expect that they would send an editor over in person, but it was just the right time.

    It was just time for her to test whether this magazine had the courage to change and innovate.

    If so, then she can at least help this magazine continue to lead the innovation trend in the next twenty or thirty years, and expand their magazine from the beginning to only publish martial arts novels to all-round development, thereby achieving industry dominance.

    If not.

    Then the tree may have to choose another owner.

    It is even possible to start your own magazine.

     But she is quite lazy. There are too many things to worry about when running a magazine. She doesn't want to worry about this tedious task unless necessary.

    "If you insist, then we have no choice but to find a way to cooperate with you as much as possible."

    Zhang Shumin already knew the bottom line of their editor-in-chief, but even so, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said:

    ¡°But there is something else I want to ask of you.

    Our editor-in-chief hopes that the novel you are serializing can be a little more restrained, and it is best not to include gods and gods. We will try to collect some manuscripts of gods and monsters in the next period of time, and we may publish a supplement about gods and monsters by then.

    If you insist on writing supernatural novels.

    ? Then we will move your novel to the Monsters supplement, I hope you don¡¯t mind.

    The royalties are still the same as before.

    Twenty thousand words, this will not change.  "

    ¡°Mysterious supplement, that¡¯s no problem.¡±

    At this time, there was no precise definition of fairy tales and fantasy. Generally speaking, the literary world would define articles with too unbelievable content as supernatural novels. For example, novels such as The Legend of Shushan Strange Heroes and Journey to the West were all included in this category.  .

    However, this was still the heyday of martial arts. Although there was an audience for novels about gods and monsters, the audience would be relatively narrow. The relatively narrow audience meant that sales might decrease. This is why the magazine editor was reluctant to see the direction of Qiao Mu's novels.  The reason why the gods and monsters went in the same direction.

    But now Qiao Mu insists.

    Zhang Shumin and the others had no choice but to agree and issue a supplement to keep Qiao Mu.

    As long as Qiaomu can maintain the current update speed, it will still be popular among readers.

    ? Then they will never fall out.

    They will try their best to cooperate with any ideas that are not excessive. This is the importance of pillars.

    Here, Zhang Shumin and the others settled the matter with Qiao Mu, and also signed the publishing agreement for the current book. Only then did Fu Cheng cut some fruit and opened the door to invite them to eat.

    But at this time, Zhang Shumin and the others had already finished what they had to do, so they just symbolically picked out a piece with a toothpick, praised the delicious fruit, etc., and then left.

    They were on a business trip, so it was definitely impossible for them to stay at someone else's house. They had already booked a hotel in advance when they came over, so even if Fu Cheng persuaded them to stay, they still politely explained the specific situation and hurried back to the hotel.

    And prepare to go back the next morning.

    Not only to reassure the editor-in-chief, but also to apply for the corresponding issue number in a timely manner.
