Chapter 441: Imposter

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Wen first read the introduction letter. After confirming its authenticity, she immediately invited Zhou Yan to sit down and personally poured a cup of floral tea for her.

“I’m really sorry to have made you wait for so long.”

Su Wen’s attitude was natural and magnanimous, with a sense of balance between advance and retreat. After learning about Zhou Yan’s identity, she became a little more enthusiastic, but there was no hint of flattery. This made Zhou Yan have a better impression of her.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries. Su Wen introduced Su Xiu and Su Qing to Zhou Yan, and then they each took their seats to begin their discussion.

“What do you mean when you say the negotiation for the fee didn’t go well?” Su Wen was filled with questions when she heard that.

Zhou Yan raised her eyebrows. ‘We replied to your letter about a month ago. At the same time, we informed you of our publication decision for your submission. You replied, agreeing to the preliminary terms, but we couldn’t sign the contract due to the fee issue. However, our 10,000 volumes of books have already been printed. We can’t delay it any longer, so I came personally.”

The scumbag’s handbook was the last hope of the publishing house. After she saw it, she immediately arranged for it to be published. She had sent the registered letter on the same day. She had thought that it would go smoothly, but she didn’t expect it to take so long to sign the contract.

Before she came, she thought that the author was simply being too greedy, but now it seemed otherwise.

Su Wen’s expression became more serious as she listened.

“You’re saying that you received the registered letter from me immediately after my submission, and I replied to you, yet I asked for an exorbitant fee?” She asked again.

Zhou Yan nodded.

Su Wen slowly exhaled, and her petal-like lips slowly curled into a cold smile.

She thought, “This was getting interesting! Fortunately, they hadn’t agreed on the fee. Otherwise, it would have been impersonated by someone else. Unaware of the situation, I would only think that the submission was unqualified if I didn’t receive a reply. Perhaps I would find out in the future, but it would be too late by then. Su Wen’s name would only be known as a pseudonym for “someone else”. If the book sold well and she became a best-selling author under the name Su Wen, those who knew the truth would find it ironic, like an unsuccessful author using a successful author’s name.”

Su Wen had sorted out the situation in her heart, and it was difficult for her not to sneer. It didn’t take much to figure out who was behind this. No wonder Sun Yunyun looked at her with that expression outside the convenience store.

Her intuition was spot on. Sun Yunyun’s scheme was quite devious.

“Is there something wrong?” Zhou Yan had already realized that something was amiss. She had been running a publishing house for many years and had encountered various issues such as plagiarism and forged submissions. She immediately guessed where the problem lay.

As expected, Su Wen’s words confirmed her guess.

“I haven’t received a single reply from you since I submitted my manuscript. Your replies were definitely intercepted and replaced with someone using my name.” Su Wen did not waste any time and asked Zhou Yan to wait for a moment. She then returned to her room and took the original manuscript to verify her identity.

It was impossible to write a script in one go. There was no computer to edit and correct at any time, so there were a lot of changes and doodles on the original manuscript. Some were corrections of typos, while others were comments on plot elements and insightful critiques.

The words used were also more cutting and ingenious. Therefore, after Su Wen finished writing, she spent a few days rewriting it again. Her hands were sore from writing.. If it wasn’t for the lack of money and the fear that Su Xiu would be cheated by He Changming, she wouldn’t have worked overtime to write the manuscript!
