Having said that, it is actually not accurate to insist that Fries has not held the girl's hand... at least, he has held Xia Jun's hand.

But, in his opinion, this doesn't count.

"But..." Thinking of Xia Jun, he felt a headache again, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face, "I've obviously got a cold, but I still have to deal with it."

"You're just stubborn, you'll be stubborn to death! You've been like this since you were little!"

Fries gritted his teeth and stared straight ahead, but his thoughts had already wandered to nowhere.

The A4 paper in front of me has already been filled with countless names of Xia Jun...

——He wrote it all down unconsciously, every one of them is like a flying dragon and a phoenix. It has been tempered for thousands of times and is so strong that it penetrates the back of the paper!

"Otherwise, I'd better go visit her after get off work. After all, I promised her on the phone."

After thinking everything through, Fries felt as if a huge boulder had been lifted from his heart, and his face looked much better.

Just when he was getting ready and ready to open the mailbox to see if there were any potential new books, a surprised low voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the office.

"The list is announced!"

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

The entire office suddenly became noisy because of this news. Many people began to whisper among themselves in a hurry, and more people returned to their seats and quickly opened the website.

"List?"

Obviously, Fries still hadn't recovered from the previous chaos. He turned around and looked at Mustard beside him in confusion, as if seeking answers from him.

"Last month's online authoritative index list... has been released!" Mustard didn't even look back, staring at the screen in front of him.

"Published... Published?" Fries became excited and hurriedly opened the webpage.

…

Each website has its own list. Like Chicheng, there are more than ten lists such as monthly ticket list, subscription list, new book list, etc. However, these lists can basically only represent the internal operating conditions of their respective websites.

It lacks a certain authority.

Looking at the entire Internet literature world, the most important reference is the Internet Literature Authoritative Index released once this month.

Every writer is proud to be on the entire list.

Of course, there are editors.

If their writers can successfully log in to the main list, it basically means that this year's KPI assessment can be completed ahead of schedule. This is why, as soon as the news of the release of this list came out, all the editors seemed to be in a state of panic.

, swarmed up...

Not only is it authoritative, this list also has another nickname: Taobao in the online literary world.

Mainly refers to the two lists of new books and potential list.

Many new books, some of which have not even been signed yet, have miraculously appeared on the new book list or the potential list after comprehensive evaluation by various indexes... Then, the author of this book will be instantly promoted to a popular person.

It is sought after by major websites and editors.

Numerous facts have proved that these authors who have successfully made the list, regardless of whether they have previous experience in writing books, or have already written many books...but the book they made the list can still become a success after a small hit.

The rate is extremely high!

Even if it collapses in the future, there is a high probability that it was the author himself... at least, the lower limit is still there.

Therefore, the books on the potential list and the new book list are particularly concerned by editors. They are actually betting to see if they have the chance to find some potential writers and then turn around.

So are French fries.

When he returned to his seat, he skipped the previous lists of clicks, completions, etc., and jumped directly to the potential list.

The not-so-smooth contact in the morning made his need for a high-quality writer even more urgent. If there was no improvement this month, it would be obvious that he would be the one criticized again at the conference next month.

Although he was definitely not the only one who would be reviled by then, he still felt that his face was shameless when he was pulled out and publicly executed like this.

"more importantly……"

He raised his head blankly and looked absently in the distance, in the direction of the strawberry.

He didn't want to disappoint Strawberry...and he didn't want her to feel that choosing him was a mistake.

Although he is still not sure whether he has been chosen by her, at least judging from everything she has shown... his chances are still quite good!

Shaking his head to dispel the chaotic thoughts, Fries moved the mouse and frantically reviewed the list.

This list is actually quite comprehensive. At the back of each book there is the author's information and the editor and website it belongs to, which is clear at a glance... This also eliminates the pain of looking up the information. As long as there is no editor information at the back, that's it.

Those so-called legacy pearls that haven't been signed yet.

But the only bad thing is that this list only lists the top 100 people, and most of them have been signed long ago... But there are so many editors on major websites competing for the limited few.

There are a lot of quotas, not to mention that each editor has different permissions.

Like French fries, in fact, he is more hopeless. Because his authority is so small, it can basically be said to be better than nothing.

"Eh... eh..."

At this moment, Mustard on the side screamed for no reason, instantly attracting the French fries' attention.

There was a look of disgust on the French fries' face, and because of Mustard's urinary nature, he was probably going to start getting weird again.

Although I don’t know what he is capable of, it is obvious that the French fries sitting next to him will definitely become the first person to be affected by him.

However, it wasn't just Mustard. Soon, the entire office was plunged into a sea of ​​strange screams.

This is a bit abnormal.

Fries raised his head blankly and looked at Mustard who was sitting at the workstation next to him. He had a strange look on his face, moving the mouse quickly, and his brows were furrowed in disbelief.

He could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart, dragged the stool to his side, and patted his shoulder.

"What's the name of the monster? Did you find a treasure?"

"Damn it!" Mustard's tone was full of impatience, "Have you seen the list?"

"Still reading." Fries replied: "But I hear you yelling weirdly here, how can I still read it? What, or is it that one of your writers has made the list again?"

Apart from Taobao, the biggest excitement for editors is that one of their own writers is on the list.

After all, this is a big list recognized by the entire network.

If its authors can be listed on the main list, it represents the kip of the year; then the small lists at the back mean the editor's future kpi.

The premise is that the author does not seek death.

So when I heard Mustard making a weird roar, French fries instinctively felt that there were only two possibilities.

"Fuck you!" Mustard's expression was still weird, "You will know it when you see it. For some reason, there is not even an unsigned writer on this month's list."

"What?" Fries also looked shocked.

"There really aren't any unsigned writers... Those who were unsigned on last month's list were all signed away." Wasabi slid the mouse and began to compare the names recorded in the notebook.

"Well... most of them go to the Chinese website of Dingmin. After all, the family has a big business and the benefits are good!" Mustard said with emotion.

"..." French fries were also speechless for a while. This was the first time in history that such a situation had occurred.

However, this also shows in disguise that the genre of online writing has basically been exhausted, and it is increasingly difficult for new writers to get ahead.

It is not a good thing for editors when the market is flooded with similar imitations.

"well……"

Mustard let out a long sigh, "Let's be more practical and see if there are any good submissions in the mailbox. It's just something for nothing. It's so delicious!"

Fries nodded numbly.

It really tastes good to get something for nothing.

He also knew who Mustard was talking about. There was once such an editor in Chicheng's second editorial team, and he was lucky enough to sign an author who had not been signed yet on the potential list.

I didn't have high expectations at first, but I didn't expect that person to be so ambitious that he became a god in one book. That work is still on the completion list to this day...

And the editor also used this writer as a stepping stone to successfully jump to the Chinese website of Terminal.

It is said that he is now a well-known editor. And the writer has been working under him. Although the subsequent books are not as popular as the previous one, the results are also very good.

It can be seen that authors and editors also achieve mutual success. In addition to the editor's excellent vision, the author also needs to have considerable strength.

"I just don't know...whether Zhuo Jiu can bring me another surprise."

Fries secretly thought, if it is true as Zhuo Jiu said, what he is going to write is a new genre that subverts the ecology of the online literary world, then he will definitely have a place in the new book list.

And his French fries will also take advantage of this east wind to officially rise!

However, although he does have high expectations for Zhuo Jiu, it seems that Zhuo Jiu cannot help him get out of his current predicament at all...

Then, the only thing that can be done is to find another potential star or a powerful star.

But, how easy is this?

As we all know, the great masters under each editor either rely on editors to tap the potential of their writers, and after years of accumulation, they finally explode; or the websites poach each other and give the masters an offer they cannot refuse, like Chicheng, which is jokingly called "

The Nursing Home of the Great Gods"... Because there are indeed many great gods in Chicheng, not to mention how the subsequent works are written, but the gods who come down the mountain are still gods after all!

Taking a step back, even if a great master is willing to switch to Chicheng, it seems that it has nothing to do with a small editor like him, right?

"What should we do?" Fries was a little anxious.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a list - the cheating list.

Although the name of this list may seem quite random, in fact, it is the list that attracts the most attention from readers and editors besides the main list.

The reason is... This list brings together the 100 most deceptive books on the Internet last month.

If a book is accidentally included on this list, it will usually be like a crazy roller coaster ride. At least, the included book will most likely be hopeless!

Therefore, this list is also jokingly called by many people - the cemetery of gods.

What’s even more frightening is that this influence will continue... There once was a great master who accidentally stepped on the reader’s thunder and topped the list... As a result, the speed of light is approaching, and the results of the basic books behind are also getting better and better.

Poor, completely wiped out in the sea of ​​​​people.

For readers, this list is like a lightning rod.

For editors, it is usually a reprint of typical examples to educate their writers not to touch those red flags.
Chapter completed!
