Chapter 49: Helplessness

Just as I was worried about this, I saw my business card on the computer table. This was left to me by the secretary. At that time, I agreed with her that I could contact her once I made a decision. It was time for me to tell her what I thought. 0

Sister Wang said that she wouldn't be able to handle this matter, so I' d be able to reach the result I wanted by contacting my secretary. After all, she was a direct contact with the President. I saw that she was very friendly to me that day. I think she should help me.

Thinking about it, I dialed the number on my business card.

"Hello. May I help you?" The secretary had expected that I would call. The President had just issued an order to update me immediately. She couldn't figure out what had happened.

Gu Yi thought about the scene when Han Anli hugged me and said it was my boyfriend, he actually felt extremely irritable. Although he knew that it was just a show, when he saw Han Anli eyes, he knew that he really liked me. He thought that if I were really with Han Anli in the future, he would not be able to work at ease. Just now, he even gave an unreasonable order to ask me to update my life.

"Hello, my editor just told me that I must hand in my manuscript now?" I carefully probed. After all, I have a request for help, so my attitude was very respectful. I think if I were to properly communicate with her, then it would be a very simple matter for me to put on a novel because I don't think they need to waste any time here.

"Yes." The secretary replied. At this time, the higher-ups of the novel website were discussing my book. They thought that my break had already caused losses to the novel website. They asked me to update it immediately.

"And you can't get off the shelf." She continued to add. The secretary looked at the contract that was kept in the computer and said," You should be clear. I believe your editor must have explained the situation to you."

"Why?" "I'm the author of this novel. Why do n' t I have the right to dispose of my work?" Right now, I was completely forced by their Overlord Clause. It was clearly me who had painstakingly written this novel, but now, I didn't even have the right to write it.

"Miss An Mo, I hope you can calm down a little. If you don't update the novel, it would already violate the agreement we signed earlier." The secretary frowned and said," Originally, our novel website was very human, but because of the popularity of your book, Miss An Mo, it is impossible for us to help you get this book off the shelves." After checking out the recent earnings of my novel, if this book were to be put on sale, the website would definitely lose a lot of traffic.

"But, didn't we already agree to respect my choice?" I remembered the conversation I had with my secretary. At that time, she had yet to come up with these treaties. At this moment, I felt that I had been completely deceived by the novel website, and I was also annoyed by my confusion.

"Miss An Mo, I really can't help you." The secretary was under a lot of pressure. She didn't expect the CEO to suddenly change his mind and ask me to update him. Moreover, the higher-ups of the company were also paying attention to the novel. Originally, the president had helped them deal with it, but now, even he didn't care about it. The pressure was obvious.

"Then how can I get off my novel?" I didn't give up and continued to ask. The rules were dead, and people were alive. It was impossible for a living person to be forced to death by the rules. I thought that with my persistence, there would be ways to solve it.

"Miss An Mo, there are two choices for you." The secretary paused for a moment, feeling that this was a little inappropriate but still said," You pay us three times the remuneration as liquidated damages. The other thing is to continue updating."

This was the third clause of the contract. It was rare for the author of their website to really implement it. The author of their website really cherished the opportunity to become famous in one shot. The first one to give up like this made the secretary panic.

"Three times the remuneration?" I was a little surprised by this number. I had always been a small writer who had no ambition. Where did I get so much money to pay for the penalty?

"That's right, because we' ve also paid some publicity costs for your novel. If you don't continue updating it, I' ll suffer a loss." The secretary took the data in her hand and continued to analyze it." You see, we've been discussing about the adaptation of your novel recently. If you do n' t update it now, we'll lose faith in others."

"Is there another choice?" I didn't give up. I felt that I should show my attitude." Even if I write something that disappoints the readers, do n' t you care?"

I think word of mouth and quality are the important criteria for judging whether a novel is good or not compared to the speed of updating. I continued," If I write a bad ending, do you think this is really beneficial to the novel website?"

"This..." The secretary seemed to be hesitant. She was also considering the pros and cons of this matter. Although it was a good thing that I could finish a novel, if the reader was full of expectations and had a bad ending, then it would definitely cause even more protests.

"I will finish this novel after I finish my rest." I also took a step back. After all, I was the one who made a mistake in this matter and shouldn't ask too much.

"How about this? Write a document explaining the situation. I'll report it to the President for you." At this moment, the secretary was extremely anxious. When she had just entered the Gu Yi office, Gu Yi face was frighteningly dark. If he had been in a good mood in the past, he might have helped me put in some good words. However, judging from his attitude, he seemed to feel that there was no room for manoeuvre.

"I've agreed with you. It depends on the President's intentions." The secretary kindly reminded me that she didn't want me to have too much hope for this. After all, handling this matter was really troublesome.

"Okay." I quickly wrote a document explaining my situation and carefully analyzed the pros and cons in it. I sent it to my secretary by email.

Soon, he received a reply from the company, but the result was the same as before. He couldn't get off the shelves, and it was specially marked that the president had read it. It was equivalent to giving me the death penalty for dropping the shelves of my novels.

I looked at the cold words on the email and was still thinking of a solution. Do I really want to finish this novel? Not only would the reader not accept a rotten ending, even I wouldn't allow myself to write such a book.

Suddenly, the phone rang and interrupted my thoughts.
