In the tall building, Yuki was looking for inspiration and material by playing games. On a larger screen, two characters were fighting fiercely.
With the last slash, Xue Jian managed to control his protagonist and cut the Pope down. Then, the tablet beside him displayed a notification of a document.
"Playing a game isn't very peaceful. It was hard to imagine a weekend like this. Yes, this is!" Picking up the computer, Xue Jian began to check the copies of the documents that had been sent over. In fact, it had already been solved by the secretary, and the ones sent over were the initial results. He only let Xue Jian take a symbolic look. Of course, there was nothing wrong with not looking at it. After all, Skaha would never make a mistake.
However, this time, he saw some problems in the order of the documents. Xue Jian stared at the question that wasn't considered a problem for a while before slowly speaking.
"Skaha shouldn't have made such a mistake. In that case, did something happen? Looks like I have to go there myself." Putting down the game in his hands, Xue Jian prepared to go to Skaha.
Although it was just a mistake in placing it, compared to this mistake. Xue Jian guessed that something must have happened over there, so he had to go.
After putting on everything, he walked out of his room. Not long after, a black sports car drove out from below the building.
As they drove, Xue Jian finally arrived at the place where Skaha would be today. During this time, he also learned about Skaha's situation through his acquaintances, but the answer he received was no different from usual. This normal answer only deepened his worry.
Stopping the car, Xue Jian walked straight into a building. This time, his destination was not the company headquarters. It was the floor where the library under his name was located.
And the name of the library under his name was 'Tianma'. Yes, out of some kind of evil interest, he changed the original name to the current one. Although the older employees would more or less complain about the taste of the name, they did not say much. Moreover, they had no idea why their boss had given them this name.
When the elevator door opened, he finally saw the library office that he hadn't been to for a long time. He remembered that the last time he came here was about half a year ago.
However, just as he was about to make his way to Skaha's studio quietly, he met an acquaintance on the way.
In front of him, a beautiful lady was instructing a few editors around her about work matters. However, when she saw Xue Jian, her eyes lit up. After she quickly dismissed the editors around her, she gestured for Xue Jian to go to the living room next door.
Xue Jian thought for a moment. He couldn't reject her suggestion. After all, the lady in front of him was his former editor and was now the editor-in-chief of this place. Basically, she was second only to Skaha here.
Sitting at the guest table, Xue Jian watched as the lady made two cups of tea. She walked up to Xue Jian and put down the teacup.
"You're finally here!" She smiled as she sat down beside Xue Jian.
Looking at this familiar scene, Xue Jian naturally called out her name.
"Why, did you know I was coming, Mari?”
This was the name of this black-haired lady, Masi Fukuoka.
"When you called me to ask about Sikaha's situation, I guessed that you would come.”Ma Li happily voiced out his guess.
When Xue Jian had called her from her car, she had thought that Xue Jian would probably come over. It was indeed the case now.
"You really understand me."
"After all, I'm still your editor until now. Speaking of which, after you sent me your new volume, why haven't I heard anything from you? I thought you were going to play the lottery again.”After the initial greeting, Mari began to focus on work.
In a sense, she was similar to Skaha. She was the kind of workaholic who would forget time, place, and people when she started working.
"How did you know that I wanted to play the bouncing ticket?”
Looking at the snow in front of him, Ma Li couldn't tell what he was thinking. After all, Xue Jian had a very bad record, and this record made Ma Li not dare to treat it as a joke.
She took a closer look and realized that Xue Jian didn't seem to be lying.
"Do you still think so? Please have a little bit of spirit as a writer, you always do this. It will put us in a difficult position, especially me. As your editor, I feel very pressured.”Ma Li said as she covered her swollen forehead.
Previously, the news that Xue Jian was preparing a new work had already been released. She could not imagine what some crazy fans would do. For example, jumping off a building, self-harm,'terrorist attacks', and so on...
Fortunately, Xue Jian solved the problem for her after seeing her distressed look. Although he was the one who created this problem.
"Don't worry! How could I make things difficult for you? This is the second volume I brought today.”As she spoke, Xue Jian placed a small USB drive on the table.
Ma Mai was stunned. From heaven to hell, and from hell to heaven. This was probably the most realistic description of what she had just seen.
"Did you bring it directly?" She couldn't believe that her author had such integrity.
"Yes, because I thought you might want to take a look. You always urge me to update something. I think this is more direct and convenient, and there won't be any subsequent trouble.”Xue Jian explained the reason.
This editor seemed to be a fan of Xue Jian. Furthermore, he wasn't as evil as Scarha.
"So, were you playing with me just now?”It was only now that Ma Li realized this fact. She looked at Xue Jian angrily.
"Don't use this angry expression. It's not my first time anyway.”Xue Jian was very calm at this moment. In the past, teasing his editor was one of his daily activities. Although he was now an editor, this habit had not changed.
"For the sake of your new book, I'll forgive your bad behavior for now.”
"I think you'll forgive me too. After all, you are my first reader. This is only the first draft. If there's anything that needs to be changed, you can contact me later.”
"I understand. Oh right, can you reveal it in advance? I don't want to spoil anything, but I really want to know what the main theme of this story is. Was it like F/Z, filled with helplessness and despair? Or was it the hope of FTN after despair?”Ma Li looked at Xue Jian expectantly. At this moment, she was still holding onto the USB drive tightly.
"You'll know when you see for yourself. The Steel Land at the end of the world."
"Steel Earth?"
"I went to Skaha. If there's anything, come and find me!" After saying this, Xue Jian stood up and left. He did not come here mainly for Mari.
"I will."
After leaving the living room, Xue Jian started walking towards the room where Skaha was. Although she was Xue Jian's secretary in name, due to Xue Jian's personality, the members here now subconsciously treated Skaha as the president.
