Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Qin Shu felt a chill run down her spine, and her whole body suddenly tensed up.

She was deeply impressed by "The All-Round Artist," wasn't that the novel with the made-up lyrics?

Even the author left a deep impression on her. There are many authors who write books, but very few who would stubbornly refuse to revise their work when faced with a rare opportunity to sign a contract.

Qin Shu's impression of him was: stubborn, annoying, but his voice was quite nice.

However, she didn't understand why the editor-in-chief would suddenly bring up this book, and why he seemed so angry.

Just as she was struggling with whether or not to confess, a male colleague wearing glasses raised his hand.

"Boss, I've read that book, what's wrong?"

Qin Shu looked at him, thinking to herself, "The top salesperson is taking the blame, I'm saved, thank God for saving my life."

This colleague is the top-performing editor in the team, and he has many talented authors working under him, such as Dancing and Tang San...

With good performance comes confidence, and the editor-in-chief shouldn't make things difficult for him.

The next second, the editor-in-chief's expression softened slightly, and he asked:

"What was your reason for not signing with 'The All-Round Artist'? Do you remember?"

The male colleague nodded slightly:

"The reason I still remember the book's title is because it's so special. The writing is fluent, the premise is novel, and it's substantial. If the author had written it seriously, it could definitely have been successful, but he..."

The male colleague sighed helplessly: "He's really wasting his talent. I've been an editor for three years, what kind of books haven't I read? But I've never seen a novel with lyrics written by the author himself, so I didn't sign him."

The editor-in-chief nodded without saying anything, then looked at everyone again and asked, "Where are the others?"

When a new book enters the library of Qidian.com, it's impossible for only one editor to see it. To prevent excellent novels from slipping through the cracks, Qidian.com implemented a "cross-review by editors" mechanism a long time ago.

Qin Shu had no choice but to raise her hand as well.

Her reason for not signing the book was the same as her male colleague's. After she finished speaking, she saw the editor-in-chief's face darken again, so she quickly added:

"I called the author to try and persuade him, but he was unwilling to revise the text, so I didn't pay much attention to it after that."

"Have you contacted him?" the editor-in-chief asked.

"Um."

"I have a very important task for you: contact the author immediately and sign 'The All-Round Artist.' You must take this seriously; it concerns the future development of our website and could potentially expand our readership. Make sure you do it well."

Qin Shu blinked her clear eyes, paused for a moment, and then quickly accepted the task.

Although it's unclear why the editor-in-chief values ​​this novel so much, there must be a reason why the leader said that.

Qin Shu guessed that this was partly due to her having proactively contacted the book's author; otherwise, the matter should have been handled by the top seller.

The editor-in-chief walked up to Qin Shu's workstation, his expression grave:

"I'll give you a maximum of half an hour. Let me know when it's done. By the way, you'd better listen to his songs before you contact him."

After saying that, he turned and walked into his office.

The editors were left with a lot of questions.

Song?

What song is it?

After a brief moment of confusion, the editors' expressions quickly changed from surprise to astonishment.

Immediately afterwards, the office was filled with the sound of rapid keyboard typing, as everyone searched for "The All-Round Artist" in the Dian Niang library.

Qin Shu is different.

She vaguely remembered the song title in the book. She opened Kugou Music and typed in "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".

In the blink of an eye, the song popped up.

It actually exists?

Or rather, it was created by someone!

Singer: Shen Can

Composer: Shen Can

Edited by: Shen Can

After clicking on the song information, Qin Shu stared at the screen, her pupils seemingly contorted in a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Isn't Shen Can the real name of the author of "The All-Round Artist"?

Without thinking twice, Qin Shu quickly put on her headphones and pressed play to listen to music.

After listening to the song, Qin Shu's mood became even more complicated, and her head was buzzing.

She was already quite magnanimous, but due to the intense emotional shock, her chest heaved beautifully with each rapid breath.

"What did I do?! I asked him to change the song? What right do I have to ask him to change the song? That genius can write and sing songs himself. Even a pig isn't as stupid as me."

She opened the Dianniang backend and checked the data for "All-Round Artist".

Monthly tickets, favorites, tips, comments... every metric is growing rapidly.

Qin Shu couldn't help but clench her fists and bite her lower lip.

She recalled Shen Can's last words to her on the phone: "If you change your mind, you can call me anytime."

That boy is really confident.

When I made that call to him, he was already certain that I would go to him again.

—Completely manipulated and played with in the palm of one's hand.

Ironically, I even thought at the time that I should banish Shen Can's works to the cold palace and never look at them or care about them again.

Qin Shu felt it was time for her to become a mature woman; she needed to learn to be adaptable.

At this moment, her thoughts were: "I, Qin Shu, am going to do something amazing today, and this time I'm serious!"

She planned to call Shen Can, have a deep conversation, express her feelings, and try to win him over within ten minutes.

It's not shabby to earn money.

By signing Shen Can, she can ride on the coattails of this powerful figure and soar to great heights, earning a high salary and commission.

Just as she was about to take action, an editor in the office exclaimed in surprise, as if a music player had been turned on, and other editors followed suit.

"This is amazing! He actually composed two songs for the novel, and they're incredibly good."

"Have you guys seen the music video? Oh my god, he's so handsome! How can anyone in this world be this good-looking?"

"Outrageous."

The editors' expressions varied, but they could all be described with the same word—shocking!

The next second, the editors looked up at Qin Shu one after another, some even with tears in their eyes and a strong feeling of sadness in their hearts.

Everyone knows what it means to sign a book that's about to become a huge hit.

Moreover, "The All-Round Artist" is quite different from other books on the site. The author can actually create the songs in the novel. If nothing unexpected happens, the book should quickly become a hit.

You should know that there are far more people who listen to songs than people who read novels.

This is what the editor-in-chief meant when he said it "concerns the future development of the website".

The editors figured this out after listening to the song.

Qin Shu got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity simply because she had called Shen Can.

The top-performing male colleague walked up to Qin Shu and said:

"The boss is right, you really need to hurry."

Qin Shu narrowed her eyes: "Is the editor-in-chief worried that he'll be poached by another website?"

Since the digital website is willing to spend a lot of money to poach editors and top authors from Dianzai, they certainly won't sit idly by once they find out about Shen Can's situation.

This boy is a treasure.

"You're pretty smart," the male colleague praised.

Qin Shu gave a soft snort.

She may have big breasts, but she's not stupid.

Really.
