Chapter 48: Stress

When I got home, I turned on my computer and fell into deep thought about my novel. When I saw Zhang Shiyang shameless and disgusting face, I had already decided to listen to Han Anli suggestion and put the novel on the shelf. 1

I was brewing my emotions. After countless simulations and explaining the situation to Sister Wang, I still gave Sister Wang a call.

"Sister Wang, what's the situation with my novel?" I opened my mouth. I thought that I had already asked for a week's leave with the company, but why did they urge me to hand in the manuscript after only two days?

"Xiaoxi, how's your father's health?" Sister Wang was first concerned about my father's situation." Can you hand in your manuscript recently?" She had been urged by her boss countless times recently, and she heard that she had attracted the attention of the President.

"My father's condition is very good. I thank Sister Wang for her concern.

"I can't write anymore." I bit my lower lip and still spoke the truth. After my father's hospitalization this time, I had already decided to give up my previous novel. I wanted to write a novel that I was satisfied with.

"What?" Sister Wang cried out in alarm. She had thought that I was in bad health before I broke it. She had never thought that I would give up on novels. Thinking of the twists and turns and tribulations I've been through all this time, she really hoped that I could continue to update it.

"I'm really sorry." I couldn't do anything but apologize.

I knew that my sudden abandonment of the novel had caused a lot of trouble for her and the website that nurtured me, so I could only continue apologizing, hoping to get their understanding.

"Are you really going to give up?" Sister Wang continued to ask. She only felt sorry at this moment, but when she thought about my recent situation, she also understood. However, in the current situation, it was nothing more than a sentence from the upper echelon. It was also more important to say it too. After all, I was already one of the top new writers on the website. If I said that I wouldn't update this work, it would n' t be a good solution to leave the readers alone.

"Yes, can I get my book off the shelf?" I had planned to spend more time with my parents recently, so I probably didn't have much time to write novels. After so many days, my book was still at the top of the list. This made me feel proud and filled with guilt. After all, I couldn't finish this novel anymore.

I also had some savings from that novel. I wanted to spend some time on my savings and go to the country to relax.

"Xiaoxi, you can't do this. I do n' t care about this." Sister Wang said regretfully. Although she really wanted to respect my thoughts, as an editor, she had to abide by the company's rules. If such a popular novel was to be listed on the rankings, a small editor like her would not be able to make it.

"But when I signed the contract, didn't it say that I could do it freely?" I remembered my contract when I signed it. It was because of the good treatment and freedom of the novel website that I chose this website to write.

"Xiaoxi, let me tell you, you're a signing author and the contract you wrote before is different." Sister Wang helplessly explained," Didn't you look carefully?"

If a novel was to be listed on the rankings and get more recommendations, it would be necessary to sign a contract for the copyright of the novel. This would make it easier for the website to discuss the subsequent adaptation and publication of the novel. This would also bring more benefits to the website. Sister Wang remembered that she had sent the contract to me at that time, but now, she was in a dilemma.

If my novel was just a mediocre one, and there weren't so many people chasing after it, then she still had a way to help me cancel my contract. However, in this situation, she had no way at all.

"I seem to have signed two contracts." I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be two contracts when I signed. At that time, I signed my name without looking closely. At that time, I was completely occupied by the joy of signing. If I knew that I would give up this novel in the future, I would never sign this contract.

"Then you have to continue updating." Sister Wang said that she also wanted to help me, but her boss had just sent a message saying that the President had personally instructed her to do so. Sister Wang's hair stood on end when she thought of the usual cold look on the President's face. She heard that the President was very strict and did what he said. Then it seemed that it was impossible for my novel to get off the shelves.

She remembered that when she had just entered the novel website, she had personally witnessed a senior being expelled because he didn't finish what the president had planned. Ever since that time, she had always felt a sense of reverence towards him.

"Sister Wang, can you do anything?" I asked. From her tone, a bad premonition appeared in my heart. I felt that my novel would have to undergo quite a lot of twists and turns before it could be launched.

"I don't think there's much room for redemption." Sister Wang sighed and said," This isn't going to the market to buy food. We can bargain."

"Then..." I was silent. This matter had indeed come to this extent because of my willfulness. But now, if I was forced to write it, I would not be able to write anything. If I were to write an imperfect ending, I felt that it would be best if I kept it from updating.

"You should be aware of the popularity of your book as well. The entire company is paying close attention to this book. It's planned to launch a film adaptation when you' re done, but I will try my best to report it to your superiors." Sister Wang hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell me," It seems that the President really appreciates you recently. It's his intention to update you."

"Huh?" Just as I wanted to continue asking about the reason, Sister Wang hung up because she was going to a meeting.

I sat in front of the computer and thought about it. I knew that my current popularity might have caught the President's attention, but I did n' t expect it. I wrote a womanly novel. If he was obsessed with my novel and wanted to see the follow-up, that would be impossible. It was said that he was a well-known workaholic who was addicted to work every day. He probably didn't have time to waste on novels.

He also heard that the president wasn't just running a website. He was involved in all walks of life. Even if I was already a famous author on a novel website. But based on the personality of the workaholic who had business to talk about every day, how could he have noticed me, the little author?

In addition, my books were all at a loss. The merchants paid attention to profits. The time wasted on my side could be doubled in other fields. I was curious about what the President was thinking.
