"Previously, you collaborated with De Yun Publishing House to publish The Legend of Wukong, which sold over 100,000 copies. However, according to the information I received, at that time De Yun Publishing House only spent 5,000 yuan to purchase this book. Was it because you couldnt reach an agreement on royalties with De Yun Publishing House, so you switched to Yangcheng Evening News for your new work?"

  "Hmm, how to put it, I didnt have such thoughts in my heart at all. In fact, we can change direction. If it werent for the publication of De Yun Press, I wouldnt even get a single penny now, nor would I have had the opportunity to be invited by Yangcheng Evening News. That is to say, De Yun Press played the role of Bo Le for me. Now I not only have a big name but also got my first bucket of gold, 5,000 yuan. What reason do I still have to fall out with De Yun Press?"

  "The Sherlock Holmes series" has been serialized in the Yangcheng Evening News, do you have any expectations for the new book or hope it will achieve a certain level of success?

  "Ive said before that my ambition is for the characters I write to be debated, and ideally to spark social debate." Next it was the readers turn to ask questions, and Zhao Dan gave the right to choose the questioner to Su Xichen. After five questions, Zhao Dan stood up on the podium again, where she announced the big news she had mentioned earlier.

  "The following announcement was made: last night, the Ministry of Education sent a message that the article Come out written by Su Rui Chen has been selected as the textbook for next years junior high school. Zhao Dan Dans words were like dropping a depth charge into calm waters, causing an uproar in the room."

  "May I ask Editor Zhao if this news is true?"

  "Its true, the article Feed - Out may not be known to some people, so Ill briefly explain it. This is a micro-science fiction about environmental protection. When this article was first published in Experimental Middle School, it caused a huge sensation, and then it was reprinted by various major newspapers and magazines. Later, it was submitted by the Yangcheng Environmental Protection Bureau and passed the review of the Yangcheng Education Bureau, and then submitted to the Ministry of Education for review. Just yesterday, news came that the review had been passed."

  Whoosh!

  Confirmed by Zhao Dan, the scene was in an uproar.

  It has been confirmed that Su Shiwen did not plagiarize. These reporters didnt know what to write and were racking their brains, but now they completely understand. They are like people who have gone hungry for a few days and see a table of delicious food. This article was selected as teaching material, you know this honor is something even some top writers havent achieved, let alone first-rate writers.

  Dont underestimate this article being selected as a textbook, although it wont bring in any money. The Ministry of Education wont pay you for having your article published in the textbook. However, the benefits that can be gained are not something that can be bought with money. Firstly, theres fame - think about how many junior high school students across the country will learn about this article "Come out" during class, and naturally, many of them will search online for background information on the article and its author, thereby expanding their influence in an intangible way. And isnt it a matter of pride to have ones work selected as a textbook?

  It used to be me learning from others articles, but now its finally others learning from mine.

  Imagine your own article being studied by others, read aloud in class, and the teacher asking to highlight key points and repeatedly explaining the meaning behind some words and sentences. This feeling is really great!!

  The benefits of fame are just superficial, being selected as a middle school textbook can bring far more benefits than that, now Su Rui Chen is like having a get-out-of-jail-free card.

  Think about it, if an article is selected as a textbook, to a large extent, it represents that the author himself has been recognized by the government. A tree takes ten years to grow, but a person takes a hundred years to cultivate. Education is fundamental, and without recognition, the Ministry of Education would not have passed the audit.

  There is a problem that published authors fear the most, undoubtedly it is the General Administration of Press and Publication. Books are like movies, they must apply for a publication number in order to be published. If your work touches on the nerves of some big shot at the General Administration of Press and Publication or if you have differing opinions with them, then you will be banned from publishing.

  But now Su Rui Chen is no longer worried about this matter, as long as his works are not too radical or excessive, the General Administration of Press and Publication will probably not intervene, because after all, his works have also been recognized by the Ministry of Education. Although the relationship between the Ministry of Education and the General Administration of Press and Publication is not close, in the humanistic society of China, there are many things to consider.

  Cant the Ministry of Education have just selected Su Rongchens article into the textbook, and then the News and Publication Bureau shut it down? Isnt this a slap in the face for the Ministry of Education? From this, we can see that the weight of this get-out-of-jail-free card is not light.

  "What are your thoughts on the article being selected by the Ministry of Education as a textbook?"

  "Right, let Su Rui Chen think for a moment, is there anything youd like to say at this time?"

  "May I ask if you thought it would become a junior high school textbook when writing Feed - Out?"

  ……

  The long guns and short cannons, more than 20 reporters on the scene burst out with extremely powerful force.

  "At first, I wrote the article Feed - Come out just to complete a composition competition organized by my school. I just wanted to write something fancy, so I chose this micro-topic."

  "When I was writing, I didnt think that much, just wanted to write a little better. As for the article being selected as a teaching material for junior high school peoples education edition, personally, it is very honorable, and at the same time, I will take this honor as a driving force to supervise me to move forward, strive to write even better articles."

  Su Release said on the stage, while some reporters below were even shaking with excitement. Big news, really big news! The title of this news was already being calculated in his mind: "Genius Writers Work Selected as Teaching Material". No, no, no, this is too ordinary and lacks explosive power. Lets come up with a more shocking title, such as "14-year-old Writer Surpasses Countless First-rate Writers". Hmm, this still lacks a bit of explosiveness. Then how about this title: "14-year-old Writers Achievement Makes Countless First-rate Writers Ashamed!"... Exciting!

  Big news! A salary increase is not a dream, now in the minds of these newspaper reporters, Su Rui Chen is truly considered an ancestor. Its really fortunate to have this genius author around, just recently there was a plagiarism storm, and today such big news has come out again. As expected, today will be a whirlwind, after the press conference ends, the news will be released, and thats when it will really explode.

  At that time, it wont be just Yangcheng city, the whole Huaxia may fall into madness. After all, a 14-year-old authors article being selected for Renjiao teaching materials is too crazy. At that time, Su Rixings influence will also rise to another level, and "Wukong Biography" will usher in a sales frenzy, and "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" will attract more peoples attention.

  "Zao Tan Bao" and "Independent Edition" are two newspapers that can be said to have shot themselves in the foot. After the press conference ended, many reporters wanted to rush to write and publish their articles in front of everyone, so they all bid farewell one after another. Su Xichen stayed behind, still signing books for sale for those 400 readers.

  The book sold is naturally "Journey to the West", "Sherlock Holmes" has not been published yet, although its a bit tiring, but this time publishing can add several hundred sales to "Journey to the West", adding icing on the cake.

  "Chen Chen, today Zhao Jie invited us to dinner. Zhao Jie just learned how to make Sichuan cuisine yesterday, what do you think about going to her place for dinner?" After signing the book, Zhao Dan Dan sent out an invitation to Su Xian Chen.

  Uh... just learned Sichuan cuisine yesterday and dare to serve it to guests today?

  Sweat, he doesnt want to be poisoned!

  "What was that, I promised my mom to go home for dinner today, so Zhao Jie is still..." Su Rui Chens words hadnt finished yet, when he saw Zhao Dan Dans mouth already pouting, and the tears in her eyes were welling up, as if they would fall at any moment. Now this appearance was completely different from the deputy editor of Yangcheng Daily who had just been on the podium.

  "Morning, have you started disliking Zhao Jie?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at him, looking like a discarded little loli, making Su Ruo Chens heart skip a beat. A young woman using such a tone and gaze on him, wasnt it terrifying enough?

  "Thats really not it, because for some reason I havent been back home to have dinner with my family for several days already, so today I promised myself that I must go back home for dinner, next time, definitely next time."

  Tears still lingered on Zhaos eyelashes "You said so."

  "Inwardly I was cursing, but outwardly I kept nodding in agreement."

  "Alright, this is what you promised Zhao Jie, I didnt force you." The look of grievance instantly disappeared, and a smile emerged at the corner of her mouth, with an air of satisfaction. As expected, women are all born actresses, Su Xichen knew he had been deceived again.

  Got cheated, but todays mood is still okay. The plagiarism incident has finally been resolved. Since Im on leave, dont waste time and just stay at home to write.

  In the evening, a family of three gathered around the table, watching TV and enjoying their meal.

  Su Zhens father Su Jian liked watching news and would switch to a news channel as soon as he came home.

  Central News is too far away, so I watch Yangcheng Evening News. Su Jianping is enjoyable to watch, but Su Ruiqun just lowers his head and eats the white rice in his bowl.

  "Yangcheng genius writer Su Shichen held a press conference today to clarify the plagiarism incident, and also released big news at the press conference that the article "Feed - Come Out" by genius writer Su Shichen has been selected as a textbook for junior high school second semester peoples education edition."

  "Husband, husband, quickly look, our son is on TV!" Su Rui Chens mom Wei Xin was overjoyed and shook Su Jian excitedly.

  "I know what I saw." Su Jing and Wei Xin stared straight at the TV.

  "It is reported that Su Renshans Wukong Biography is selling hot, and his new book Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection is also being serialized in the Yangcheng Daily. The following is a recording of the reporters return... On TV, he appeared standing on the podium, refuting independent magazine reporters with great momentum..."
