Gao Xiang stood up excitedly. Compared with the multiple reversals of "Chameleon", the ending of "The Necklace" was even more unexpected for him.

That sentence "It's missing." Gao Xiang said it truly.

When Jia Zhexuan saw Gao Xiang's reaction, he knew that this short story must have moved Gao Xiang.

"Chief Editor, do you think three hundred thousand is worth it?" Jia Zhexuan asked specifically for Meng Haiyang's ears.

"It's less." Gao Xiang slowly sat down and said.

When Meng Haiyang saw Gao Xiang's reaction, he knew that the editor-in-chief recognized this short story. But he still didn't believe that the same person could write another novel of the same level as "Chameleon" in such a short period of time.

When he contacted Aimang before, Aimang also said that he had no new works, so he would not consider cooperating with the magazine for the time being. He believed that Aimang was not lying to him at that time and that he really had no new works.

Meng Haiyang clearly remembered that when he called Ai Mang, the other party said that he didn't even have an idea. How could he suddenly go from having no idea to writing a book comparable to "Chameleon" in just two days?

short stories.

This is very unreasonable.

Even Aimang can't do it.

After all, a new writer who has only written one short story will inevitably not be a flash in the pan. Meng Haiyang and Aimang did not put too much of a bargaining chip when discussing cooperation.

"I want to read it." Meng Haiyang walked to the desk and asked to read the novel.

This was not an unreasonable request. He was the internal editor-in-chief of the magazine. Gao Xiang turned his computer screen to Meng Haiyang.

Meng Haiyang pulled up a chair and sat down.

A minute passed and the office was very quiet. Although Gao Xiang and Jia Zhexuan had both watched "The Necklace", they did not disturb Meng Haiyang.

Originally, Meng Haiyang read ten lines at a glance. Everyone started out as an editor and had a very strong scanning ability. However, in Aimang's novels, he did not show his ability to read ten lines at a glance for fear of missing a detail.

The last movie "Chameleon" is an example. If you show ten lines at a glance, you may miss a certain color change in the mid-term and miss the exciting part.

Meng Haiyang frowned. The word count of this short story is longer than "Chameleon". The title "Necklace" must be related to the necklace, and the plot doesn't even have any drama.

Meng Haiyang has been speculating.

Although the writing style is sophisticated, it is also Aimang's usual rhetorical description technique, which is very characteristic of his style.

Aimang's writing style is very different from other authors. It's hard to tell what's different, but as long as you read one sentence, you can tell that it was written by Aimang. He once predicted that many authors will imitate the writing of "Chameleon" in the future.

keynote.

Although Meng Haiyang admires Aimang in his heart and feels that his "Chameleon" is definitely a textbook in the field of short stories, he does not agree that every work of Aimang will be a masterpiece.

When Meng Haiyang saw half of it, his originally tight eyebrows gradually relaxed and he adjusted his sitting posture.

Gao Xiang curled his lips at the side. He could tell through Meng Haiyang's expression which part of the novel he was reading now.

To be precise, I had the same idea as Meng Haiyang at the beginning. How could such a novel be worth 300,000?

But halfway through watching it, his thoughts began to change slightly.

At the end...

Meng Haiyang browsed quickly, and suddenly he opened his mouth wide and held the edge of the screen with his incredible hands, as if he was confirming the text he just saw.

"Fake?!" Meng Haiyang said in shock.

He simply couldn't believe that Aimang gave such an ending at the end.

Irony? It’s so ironic!

Meng Haiyang turned the computer screen back to its original direction, stood up and took a deep breath.

"I accept it."

Jia Zhexuan also laughed. He knew that Gao Xiang and Meng Haiyang would have such expressions after watching it, because he had the same expression.

Meng Haiyang let out a long breath, "Our ceiling is 300,000. If we can give you another 10,000, I will call Aimang immediately and win him over."

"There is no way. Aimang himself does not want to sign a long-term contract with our magazine, and can only have a cooperative relationship. Last time, your group was destined to have a relationship with "Chameleon", and this time it is our group's turn to have a relationship with "The Necklace."" Jia Zhexuan said.

Meng Haiyang was still very sad, but there was nothing wrong with what Jia Zhexuan said.

Jia Zhexuan did not contact Aimang before he did, but after he contacted her.

Moreover, when he and Zhang Xiaochu contacted Aimang, it was true that they had not written it down, and they did not even have an idea.

But it happened to happen two days later, and it happened that Jia Zhexuan called at that time, so I had no choice but to take advantage of the guy from the second group.

The only thing to blame is that I didn't pay close attention and made one phone call every day.

Although Meng Haiyang felt unhappy, he couldn't fault Jia Zhexuan on the face of it, so he could only endure it.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Aimang has not cooperated with me for a long time, and he has not cooperated with you for a long time. This "Necklace" was taken advantage of by your team, and the next work may not necessarily belong to whose name it is!" Meng

After Haiyang finished speaking, he hummed softly and walked out of the editor-in-chief's office.

Jia Zhexuan is in a good mood now and doesn't care about Meng Haiyang's provocation at all. Anyway, the next work will not be written all at once. It is enough that this work was written by them, and as long as he keeps an eye on it, he can't protect Qi Aimang's next work.

Will the work still be composed by them?

"Editor-in-Chief, did I publish "The Necklace" today?" Jia Zhexuan asked.

"Publish it, the sooner the better. Publish it directly in the electronic journal." Gao Xiang said decisively.

Jia Zhexuan had already had this intention, but the editor-in-chief still had the final say on the publication of the magazine. After all, he was added temporarily. Now that the editor-in-chief has spoken, he can do it with confidence and boldness.

Meng Haiyang and Jia Zhexuan both left the office, and Gao Xiang fell into deep thought.

What Meng Haiyang just said seemed to be addressed to Jia Zhexuan. Aimang did not sign a long-term co-tenancy agreement with Jia Zhexuan, nor did he sign a long-term cooperation agreement with Meng Haiyang.

The first time "Chameleon" was submitted to a submission competition, the prize money in that competition was very high, so Aimang submitted it in a low-key manner.

The second time "The Necklace" happened to be finished by Aimang, and Jia Zhexuan called him. It was such a coincidence, and the price was also very high, so Aimang directly sent "The Necklace" to him.

But what about the third time?

Gao Xiang dares to say responsibly that the influence of "The Necklace" will not be less than that of "Chameleon". With the popularity of the two works, there will definitely be many magazines swarming in to cooperate with Aimang.

Aimang did not agree to a long-term cooperation between Meng Jia and Meng Jia, nor did he agree to a long-term cooperation with Yuedu Magazine.
