It's a pretty unfamiliar phone number, and it connects.

  "Hey, Su Xichen, you should now know the strength of our De Yun Publishing House, right? I heard that you joined Shan Sei Cultural Transmission Co., Ltd. I said how a new company can fully demonstrate the potential of 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection', now you know, not one book has been sold out, so you'd better sign with us De Yun Publishing House, 1.5 yuan per thousand words or 12% royalty, this is already very high."

  The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit unfamiliar, but Su Xichen still remembered it clearly. It was Gou Xi, the deputy editor-in-chief of De Yun Publishing House, who had now been promoted to a regular position.

  One thousand words for 150 yuan, divided into 12 installments, this price made Su Rui Chen so angry that he couldn't contain himself!

  "So it was you guys from DeYun Publishing who were behind this"

  "You can't say that, I'm just reminding you, giving the book to a newly opened publishing company is a very unwise choice. So this time I called just to remind you, do things carefully and think thrice before acting..." Hearing Gou Xi's complacent tone, Su Xuan Chen's temper flared up, and he directly hung up the phone.

  "Who is it?" Wang Ni asked as she saw Su Xichen panting heavily.

  "This is Deyun Publishing's doing" Su Xichen's face looked ugly, he didn't expect that Deyun Publishing could be so shameless.

  But Wang Ni nodded calmly "Aunt had also guessed it was De Yun Press, but wasn't sure, now it's confirmed."

  Su Xianchen's current reputation is comparable to that of a first-rate writer, but the strength of Shan Se Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. is really too weak, and it does not have the strength to compete with De Yun Publishing House at all. The publishing capacity of Shan Se Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. is limited only within Yangcheng area.

  If it were published by another publishing house, the situation with Su Lei Chen's "Sherlock Holmes Collection" would not have occurred, after all, Su Lei Chen's current fame is only higher than that of a first-rate writer.

  But think about it, De Yun Publishing House is one of the top publishing houses in Yang City, and the number of classic bestsellers they publish every year is not small. So, which would a bookstore owner rather offend, De Yun Publishing House or a newly opened publishing company? The answer is obvious.

  "Hey Yu Dao, sorry about this, but I might not be able to come back tomorrow. Things haven't been settled yet and there are still some issues with the new book release."

  "No need, I can handle it myself, but it's just that returning to the crew might have to wait another two days"

  "Alright, alright, no problem." Su Xichen made a phone call to Yu Qiyuan. In this situation, it's definitely impossible for him to return to the crew tomorrow.

  The book was banned by the De Yun Publishing House, how can this situation be calm and return to the crew? Fortunately, Yu Qiyuan is quite good at talking, Su Xichen said that he had trouble publishing his book, and Yu Qiyuan even asked if he needed help.

  But Su Xichen refused, but in fact, there was no way out. Wang Ni was the same, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she didn't have the mood to review the script anymore. The two of them thought about it all the way back home.

  "Mom, you're back! Oh, Su Tiancai, why are you here too?" Wang Xuan saw Su Rui Chen and looked very surprised.

  Su Zhenchen and Wang Ni entered the house, both looking very silent. Wang Shan asked to liven up the atmosphere, "Su Tiancai, how's your book 'Sherlock Holmes' selling? Is it a hot seller?"

  Wang Shan said to herself, not noticing Su Xianchen's awkward expression at all. "I think so too. I've read 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection', it's so wonderful, Holmes' absolute calmness, and the ups and downs of the case, must be a bestseller..." As Wang Shan spoke, she seemed to have also discovered the awkward atmosphere, her tone becoming softer and softer. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

  "I'm going to cook." Wang Ni's face was icy cold, as if it could freeze frost.

  Su Shilei slowly recounted the whole thing, and Wang Shan shut her mouth, knowing that she couldn't mention one pot without opening another.

  Wang Shan's eyes rolled around and suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something, extremely excited "Su Tiancai, Su Tiancai I've thought of a way."

  "What's the plan?" Su Xichen looked at Wang Shan with a skeptical gaze. To be honest, he and Wang Ni had both thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any solution, what good plan could Wang Shan possibly have?

  "Hmph" Wang Shan was very dissatisfied with Su Shuai Chen's disdainful tone, opening the computer "Su Tiancai you come and see for yourself"

  "What's this" Su Rui Chen's gaze gathered over, but discovered a familiar name.

  "What is the Holmes Forum?" An article below caught Su Yuechen's attention.

  Reasons for liking Holmes: Holmes is not only calm and collected, with keen observational skills and strong reasoning abilities, but his swordsmanship, boxing skills, and violin playing are also exceptionally high.

  At leisure times, he would stay in his apartment at 221B Baker Street, smoking pipes and waiting for clients or doing chemical experiments. However, once a case was taken, Holmes would become like a hunting dog (please forgive me for using this metaphor, but Holmes really resembles a hunting dog when he gets into the state), dissecting the entire incident layer by layer until the truth is revealed. Often holding his pipe and cane, he likes to dramatize the plot, and often wears a black top hat when going out...

  The netizen who posted this article is called Anyang Jun. Apart from this article, Su Xianchen discovered that all the discussions in this forum are about Sherlock Holmes, and some people have already nominated it as the best mystery novel of the year. They even boldly predicted that this year's Huayi Award will definitely go to "Sherlock Holmes", and Su Xianchen will become a legend in the history of the Huayi Award, because a 14-year-old winner is believed to be unprecedented and unmatched.

  "Who set up this forum?" Su Xichen asked.

  "It was established by Anyang Jun, who is a big tycoon. He not only bought a forum with decent traffic to establish this website but also acquired three Tieba forums, which are now merged into the Sherlock Holmes Union." Wang Shan explained.

  "I didn't think I still had such a wealthy reader, but what does this have to do with DeYun Publishing's ban?" Su Xichen asked in surprise, but suddenly his expression changed and he asked excitedly, "Could it be that you want to bring 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' online for sale?"

  Wang Shanlu revealed an expression that was quite clever.

  Su Release thought for a moment about this possibility. Faced with the strong ban of De Yun Publishing House in Yangcheng, selling online is undoubtedly the best way out.

  "This proposal is highly feasible, but I still need to ask Aunt first."

  Go to the kitchen, Wang Ni is chopping vegetables "Deng Deng" The sound of the knife on the cutting board is crisp and clear, which also proves that Wang Ni is chopping very hard to vent her emotions.

  "Auntie, Xianxian just thought of a way to break the current deadlock, and I think this method is quite good."

  "Hmm?" Wang Ni put down the knife, went to the living room, and the three of them sat on the sofa. Su Xichen recounted Wang Shan's thoughts from earlier one by one, and finally asked "Aunt, what do you think of this plan?"

  "Selling directly online saves the cost of newspaper distribution, which can be used as courier fees. If we cooperate with a courier company in depth, we may make more money than bookstores do from marketing. However, it is quite difficult to operate, and building a website that allows for timely sales, clear statistics, and no loopholes is a challenging task."

  At a glance, Wang Ni's idea is more comprehensive, and one sentence reveals the biggest loophole in this idea.

  "Hey, no problem, let's ask this local tyrant first." Wang Shan quickly posted a message on the website forum: "To Station Master An Yangjun, author Su Shicheng has some things to discuss with you, please add Q if you see the message."

  Wang Shan then posted Su Rui Chen's IQ number and verification code above the main text.

  ID Number: 1557495455

  Verification question: Are you Estonian?

  Question and answer: man

  Before Su Shi could stop him, it had already been sent out.

  "Wait a minute""What's wrong?" Wang Shan looked at Su Shicun with big eyes blinking, full of doubt."Ah" Su Shicun sighed helplessly. Sure enough, what he was worried about happened in just a few seconds."Ding dong" "Ding dong"... Endless IQ friend verification messages poured in.

  [Night Shadow Scar requests to add you as a friend [Verification message: I am the station owner Anyang Jun, add me]]

  How dare you say I'm not cute? Requesting to add you as a friend [Verification message: Su Shichen? I am Anyang Jun, what's the matter?]

  Guo Guo principal requests to add you as a friend [Verification message: I know there must be many people impersonating, but I want to tell you that I am the real Anyang Jun, and Guo Guo principal never cheats]

  "Grandma requests to add you as a friend [Verification message: Su Shicheng, I'm here! I'm the Anyang Jun you're looking for, hurry up and add me!]

  ……

  A string of verification messages

  "This is what you've done" Now how can we distinguish who is the real Anyang Jun and who is fake, why would someone directly post this information online, shouldn't it be sent through private messages to the webmaster instead!!

  "Haha, I don't know why it's like this either, sorry" Wang Shan stuck out her pink little tongue, also unsure if it was intentional or unintentional.

  In just a short while, Wang Shan's post was followed by numerous comments.

  "Wow, I'm shocked by the author's greatness, is this a real person?" —— The Emperor of Rushing for the Top Floor

  "Rubbing the great god's head at close range, getting a glimpse of the great god's magic, please bless my girlfriend to be a virgin" - A pervert on the side of the road.

  "Is this IQ really that of the genius writer Su Xincheng? I have an idea, could it be that the owner of this post is using Su Xincheng's name to deceive people into giving them experience!!!" —— Analysis Emperor

  "Haha, the upstairs is correct, who added it? Give me a screenshot" —— Top Post Emperor

  "No need to look, this is the standard fifteen characters." — Emperor of Water

  ……

  Su Xichen would never use such a clumsy method, adding everyone as friends and then asking one by one. Su Xichen set the IQ permission to not allow anyone to add at the first time.

  Wang Shan hurriedly said, "Hey, Su Tiancai, you've set it so that no one can add you, how is the real Anyang Jun supposed to add you?"

  "After 'this doesn't need you to worry about it, I have a way', Su Xichen sent a private message to the stationmaster using Wang Shan's account registered on the forum."

  Hello Anyang Jun, I am Su Yicen, the author of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection". I'm delighted to have a fan like you and that you've established this forum for the book. Also, I'd like to discuss something with you, could you please send me your IQ number via private message?

  That's clever, no one is allowed to add, then let An Yang Jun give out IQ number, Su Rui Chen directly adds him.

  Wang Shan coldly snorted and turned her head away, but her goal had already been achieved.

  Soon after, the station master An Yang Jun really sent his IQ number. In fact, this was also certain, even if it wasn't certain whether it was true or not, but there's a possibility of adding your favorite author's IQ, and such an opportunity wouldn't be missed.

  It's like you know your favorite celebrity's IQ score, but don't know if it's true or false. However, most people will probably take a wait-and-see attitude.

  Su Shichen added Anyang Jun's IQ, and as soon as he added Anyang Jun, a message came "Is it really Su Shichen, the author of 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection'?"

  "Yes, I have something to discuss with you." Su Xichen confirmed his identity first, then spoke directly.

  "What's going on?" Su Xichen roughly told Anyang Jun about how his book was banned by the De Yun Publishing House and their current predicament.

  "Your meaning is, wanting to directly hang 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Stories' on the 'Holmes Forum' for sale?"

  "Okay, can I?" Su Xichen typed out these few words, feeling a bit apprehensive. If Anyang Jun refused, then he would have to go through the trouble of setting up his own website again.

  Su Shi waited for the reply of Anyang Jun, and finally Anyang Jun's reply was...
