As this year's fresh graduate, Chu Li came to Shanghai for the first time, which was also her dream place, Yuan Yue Publishing House. At the same time, the newly popular great author Zhou Chuan also came to Yuan Yue Publishing House, and was called by fans "Gentle and Elegant Young Master Chuan".
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Lao Miao hoped Zhou Chuan would publish his new book with Yuan Yue Publishing House, after all, back then the late Mr. Zhou had very good results.
Chu Li came to the Yuan Yue Publishing House interview location, she was not on the interview list, and her major didn't match the requirements, but Yuan Yue Publishing House was her dream in her heart, so she sincerely hoped the other party would give her a chance, because becoming a good editor was her dream.
However, Chu Li's major didn't match, and she didn't meet the interview requirements, Chu Li could only hand some materials she had prepared to Editor-in-Chief Yu Yao, hoping she would take a serious look. Lao Miao showed the utmost sincerity to discuss publishing with Zhou Chuan, Chu Li curiously looked around Yuan Yue Publishing House, and encountered Zhou Chuan leaving in anger, Chu Li looked at his back and wondered who exactly was this person.
The conditions Lao Miao offered made Zhou Chuan feel that he wasn't respected, in anger, he posted on Weibo. Zhou Chuan left Yuan Yue Publishing House and went to a bookstore, the reference materials he had requested last time had arrived, since the owner wasn't there, Zhou Chuan went to look for them himself.
Chu Li subsequently came to this bookstore to look for Natsume Soseki, because the items were placed high up, she stepped on a stool, just as she was about to fall, Zhou Chuan came to support her, and then went up to get the book himself. Zhou Chuan took Natsume Soseki to the checkout, Chu Li mistakenly thought he had gotten it for her, unexpectedly, Zhou Chuan said whoever got it first owned it.
Facing Zhou Chuan who changed expression faster than turning a page, Chu Li was completely speechless. The two were actually online friends who had shared thoughts for many years, as soon as Zhou Chuan left, he sent a message to "Monkey Jun" Chu Li, Chu Li complained that her interview had been a complete failure and a drama queen had snatched Natsume Soseki away, and her mood was very bad.
Just as Chu Li was about to get on the bus, she received a phone call from Yu Yao. Yu Yao returned Chu Li's materials to her, advised her to pack up and go home, Chu Li was very disappointed. Gu Baizhi had transferred back to Shanghai, Lao Miao and Yu Yao's expressions changed upon seeing her, they were old rivals.
Gu Baizhi had poached the author Kou Wei, Chu Li seeing this, raised an objection regarding the copyright expiration time, and also reminded Yu Yao that this book would not expire for more than another year. Gu Baizhi was about to leave in displeasure, but specifically came back to ask for Chu Li's name, Yu Yao was the first to speak, stating that she was part of Yuan Yue Publishing House.
Gu Baizhi was a little disappointed, gave Chu Li a business card and left. Yu Yao told Chu Li to report to Yuan Yue Publishing House next week, for a three-month internship, Chu Li was very happy, even though she would have to compete with another intern. Chu Li's mother was a little displeased upon hearing about her successful interview, she who studied finance insisted on going into something related to literature.
However, Chu Li made up her mind, before achieving her dream, she would absolutely not give up easily! Chu Li rented a house, and carefully decorated her little home. Zhou Chuan and the bookstore owner Jiang Yucheng spoke on the phone, there would be a Zhou Chuan fan meeting at the bookstore tomorrow, but Zhou Chuan didn't want to go.
After returning home, Zhou Chuan received a message from Monkey Jun saying that she was already part of Yuan Yue Publishing House, and was another step closer to the dream of publishing books for her idol Jiang Yucheng.
Chu Li found that Jiang Yucheng had posted an update from the Corner Bookstore, so she rushed over, Zhou Chuan, who said he didn't want to come to the fan meeting, also came, Chu Li mistakenly thought he was a Zhou Chuan fan. Jiang Yucheng smiled when he saw Zhou Chuan hiding here listening to the fans talk, Chu Li quietly leaned over to ask him if he was a Zhou Chuan fan, Zhou Chuan did not deny it.
Chu Li showered Zhou Chuan with praise, her goal was to get the Natsume Soseki book from yesterday, but instead, she accidentally spilled coffee on Zhou Chuan.
- After it ended, Zhou Chuan was absent-minded, thinking that Chu Li said his book was a bit long-winded, and she was actually a fan of Jiang Yucheng, Jiang Yucheng had also seen Chu Li today, she said she had liked him for seven years, but Jiang Yucheng did not reveal his identity, seeing Chu Li was helping him arrange books, he said no one would buy a faded author's books.
Jiang Yucheng was a little disappointed, Chu Li however, kept defending her idol. A new day began, Chu Li full of energy came to Yuan Yue Publishing House to report, she would be responsible for the manuscript compilation work for "Moonlight". Li Xianyu chased after Yu Yao begging for her to approve leave, the other intern Du Niaoniao bought coffee for everyone.
Today was the publishing house's open visiting day, Chu Li was arranged by Lao Miao to receive visitors, Du Niaoniao was a little curious, but Lao Miao told her not to worry about it, saying that people who could truly write good things wouldn't come. Chu Li full of energy, received visitors, and encountered many eccentric individuals.
Lao Miao was preparing to take Du Niaoniao to meet several authors, the reason he was looking at Du Niaoniao like that was because her uncle was also a great author. Chu Li felt extremely frustrated, and complained to Fox Jun about the gap between dreams and reality. Chu Li met an old man mopping the floor, kindly reminded him that he could clean after work, unexpectedly, he was Editor-in-Chief Xia.
Editor-in-Chief Xia thought Zhou Chuan was very good, Chu Li cautiously recommended Jiang Yucheng, Lao Miao was dismissive, saying that ever since he stopped working with Gu Baizhi, he had already failed with one or two works. Editor-in-Chief Xia thought that Jiang Yucheng had been discovered by Yuan Yue Publishing House back then, and should also be given a chance.
Lao Miao called Du Niaoniao and Chu Li, saying that whoever successfully signed an author first would become a permanent employee, with the mindset of not letting Chu Li easily get Jiang Yucheng, Chu Li was arranged to contact Zhou Chuan. After work, Chu Li came to buy Zhou Chuan's book, Zhou Chuan seeing this, stepped forward and said a few words.
Chu Li saw him holding Zhou Guxuan's book and thought he was a fan of the father-son duo, Zhou Chuan was instead unhappy, and deliberately moved Zhou Guxuan's book far away. Chu Li followed the address to Zhou Chuan's house, Zhou Chuan seeing it was her, felt a little puzzled in his heart.
