Before Jiang Baige could come up with a better idea, Linlang appeared in the group.
But she did not respond to the recent controversy, and only sent a brief recruitment message: [Recently, I have a friend who needs a proofreader, paid. If there is anyone in the group who is good at proofreading or has experience, please feel free to contact me privately. 】
Today is a working day, and it is around 11 o'clock in the morning. There are not many people online in the group.
But Jiang Baige had no classes in the morning and read a novel in the dormitory for a while. He happened to turn on his phone and saw this message.
This is a good opportunity to get acquainted with Linlang, so you can’t let it go.
Besides - proofreading, she is familiar with it.
She also writes and edits, and proofreading is a basic skill for her.
Jiang Baige immediately sent a message to Linlang: [Me, me, me! I can do it! ]
Linlang also quickly replied: [Do you have proofreading experience? ]
Jiang Baige: [Yes! I have worked as an editor for newspapers, magazines and books. If you are worried, you can send me a sample draft. My email is...]
After a while, a prompt popped up in Jiang Baige's mailbox: You have a new email.
She simply replied "Received" and opened the document.
The article is not long, only one or two thousand words, but it is not a novel, but a piece of popular science content.
That’s the commercial draft.
But it shouldn’t be... Linlang’s articles are selling so well both online and offline. She is so busy updating and saving articles every day that she can’t take care of them. Why did she accept the manuscript?
Linlang’s career path is actually very clear.
I used to work in an advertising company and write online articles in my spare time.
Nowadays, there is basically no "guaranteed" for online articles. The main income is from subscriptions and publishing. So when she first started writing, she didn't quit her job.
By the time she resigned, she was already a writer-in-residence.
After writing online articles became her main job, except for some former colleagues and parties she had worked with who asked her to do the work because they were familiar with it, she did not specifically accept commercial manuscripts.
When Huayu.com closed down, she happened to buy a house and had to pay off the mortgage, so she began to receive a large number of business proposals.
But the current "progress" seems to be faster than in the previous life?
If this is really the case, then the most likely possibility is that the book, which is currently controversial, has indeed affected her income.
Or is Linlang really just asking for a friend?
Jiang Baige did not dare to draw any conclusions and could only wait and see.
In the chaos of my brain, the proofreading of the manuscript was completed. Jiang Baige sent the manuscript back to Linlang, and not long after, she received Linlang's friend application.
——It seems that her manuscript was passed.
In the group, Linlang bubbled again, saying that the proofreader had been found.
Still no mention of new articles.
Linlang: [I have read the manuscript you proofread. It is very detailed and fast! I've sent it to my friend. Expect a reply soon. I'll tell you the price after she confirms it. ]
Jiang Baige: [Okay, no problem, I believe my wife! ]
After posting this paragraph, Linlang's profile picture turned gray again.
Jiang Baige originally wanted to ask about the stopped novel, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. If you say too much, it will appear that you have ulterior motives.
Anyway, Linlang has been added as a friend.
Linlang's matter is already very complicated. Now that Huayu.com has not closed down, we can figure it out slowly.
***
Jiang Baige soon had no time to care about Linlang's new book.
Because her new book just passed the promotion period, the data began to plummet...
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
Jiang Baige sat in front of the computer, looking at the bleak collections, subscriptions and daily receipts, and sighed so much that even the other people in the dormitory couldn't stand it anymore.
"Xiaobai, what are you doing? Are you arguing with Lu Tian?"
Jiang Baige looked at the sky speechlessly, what does it have to do with Lu Tian?
The two have not seen each other since they last asked about Han Li.
She thought Wen Mian had forgotten this person a long time ago.
After all, there is so much new gossip to listen to in the department every day. Even if you don't have one around, you can turn on your phone and eat whatever you want.
At this time, Lin Xingran opened the door to the bedroom, wrapped in the cold air outside.
The temperature has dropped again in the past few days, and the humidity in the air has become heavier and heavier. Jiang Baige glanced out the window, I am afraid it will snow soon.
"Here, I brought the school newspaper back for you." Lin Xingran handed the newspaper to Jiang Baige, with a bit of confusion in his tone, "Aren't you already done? Why are you still so concerned? "
"Because my friend is a reporter for the school newspaper, I just want to see what she writes. "
Moreover, Song Siwen also sent a message to tell her.
In order to keep abreast of Song Siwen's ideological trends, Jiang Baige will log in to Tangsuan.com and mark the books and movies he has read on the website.
Occasionally, I will get some likes for my comments.
When she is in a good mood: [The happiest thing every day is writing articles, even though I can’t make any money. 】
When I am in a bad mood: [Always urging for updates, always saying it looks good, I like you so much that I should give two recommendation votes. 】
The latest oneIt is: [My psychological quality is not suitable for writing online articles... When the data is good, I can update 10,000 words a day. When the data is bad, I just want to abandon the article. ]
Someone liked this post. I wonder if they also write online articles.
She thought that her complaints must not be exposed, otherwise she would be ridiculed and withdrawn from the circle without having to fall in love with Xiao Xianrou.
But even if you don’t get trolled, there are a million times when you don’t want to write anymore in the process of writing online articles.
In her last life, she worked full-time. There were many times when she dug out her dusty resume and submitted it because the data was too poor and the manuscript fee was too high.
But when she heard back, she backed down again: she really didn’t want to go to work, she just wanted to write online articles.
If it hadn't been for this tortuous mental journey, she wouldn't have been able to do it all over again, but she still chose this path.
No wonder no matter how hard you make money by writing articles, there is no way for writers around the world to unite and hold a super strike——
Even if there is, it is just a break. Update in a day or two.
Or collectively "run away" and jump from platform A to platform B.
It turns out that it’s because I really want to write!
Or maybe she liked to talk about feelings in her former broken company, because it was really useful to use this trick when she didn’t want a salary increase!
Alas——
Jiang Baige’s sigh became a little louder.
Lin Xingran was a little curious: "What's wrong, your friend can't write well?"
After hearing this, Jiang Baige's attention returned to the newspaper in front of him.
To her surprise, Song Siwen's article actually occupied one-half of the page. Although it was on the third page, it was great for a new reporter.
Jiang Baige logged into Tangshuang.com and sent a message to Song Siwen: [I saw your article, it’s great! ]
Also attached is a photo from the newspaper.
Song Siwen was probably online too, and quickly replied: [So you still write online articles! (Star Eyes)]
Oh no.
She completely forgot that her "garlic friend" Song Siwen could also read her complaints about writing online articles!
