Chapter 516: Should I publish a poetry collection?! System chooses again!

Amidst the chaos, ah no, the incredibly lively free exchange, this awards ceremony also gradually came to an end.

"Mr. Ye, can I become a corpse in your address book?!"

"Me too, me too!"

"Listening to your words is better than reading books for ten years; it is truly an honor to receive your comments."

Those who wanted autographs got them, and those who wanted to exchange contact information also exchanged it.

If it weren't for the Chairman of the Writers Association stepping in, the crowd surrounding Ye Xuan so tightly might not have been willing to leave.

Watching the congested crowd slowly leave, one by one with looks of reluctance, Ye Xuan rubbed his sore wrist and subconsciously let out a long sigh.

I truly thank my mom and dad!

For giving his name such a short and punchy form!

If there were even one more character, or if it were a Chinese character with many strokes...

If it were based on the amount of autographs today, his wrist would be crippled if not destroyed!

Turning to look at the Chairman of the Writers Association beside him, Ye Xuan's voice carried a bit of gratitude.

"Thanks, Chairman Xiao."

While speaking, Ye Xuan's gaze noticed a strange middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses standing beside the Chairman of the Writers Association, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to ask.

"Who is this?!"

Hearing Ye Xuan's question, the Chairman of the Writers Association beside him smiled and introduced him.

"Let me introduce you; this is Editor-in-Chief Wang from the People's Literature Publishing House, who has just become a die-hard fan of Mr. Ye..."

As the Chairman of the Writers Association's voice fell, Editor-in-Chief Wang, who had been smiling the whole time, also took the initiative to reach out and shake hands.

"Mr. Ye's great name is like thunder to the ears; seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation..."

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Editor-in-Chief Wang quickly got straight to the point.

"I wonder if Mr. Ye has any plans to publish a poetry collection?!"

Editor-in-Chief Wang originally came to support the cooperative authors of his own publishing house.

After all, if a cooperative author under the publishing house wins the Mao Dun Literature Prize, it also adds to the reputation of the publishing house.

He didn't expect to be deeply attracted by the modern poems Ye Xuan blurted out.

He stands behind the People's Literature Publishing House, which has a series of the most influential poetry magazines in the industry, such as 'Chinese Poetry' and 'Poetry Periodical'.

Having seen the top poetry feasts in China, he has also trained an extremely critical eye.

But facing Ye Xuan's poems today, he couldn't find a single flaw!

Even, he had a vague premonition.

Ye Xuan's poems tonight have simply opened up a new world for modern imagery poetry!

And even opened a treasure trove of modern poetry that no one has ever seen before!

Such exquisite poetry must be seen by more people!

Hearing Editor-in-Chief Wang's words, Ye Xuan also fell into deep thought.

Publish a poetry collection?!

As soon as this idea popped up, the system's mechanical sound appeared in Ye Xuan's brain.

【Congratulations to the host for triggering a new choice; please choose the option you want from the following choices】

Soon, the crisp electronic sound rang out one after another.

【System Choice 1: Agree to publish a poetry collection, reward with the work 'Ordinary World'】

【System Choice 2: Refuse to publish a poetry collection, reward with the script 'Empresses in the Palace'】

As the two choices came out, Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

'Ordinary World' and 'Empresses in the Palace'?!

Curling his lips, Ye Xuan made a decision without hesitation.

"Naturally, I choose one."

As the system's voice fell, the complete 'Ordinary World' slowly appeared in his mind. Ye Xuan looked up at Editor-in-Chief Wang, who was waiting for his reply, and asked.

"What are the requirements for publishing a poetry collection?"

Hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Wang's eyes lit up.

If he didn't refuse, doesn't that mean there's hope?!

"If you are willing, Mr. Ye, all ten poems from tonight can be included in the poetry collection.

However, the length and volume are still a bit insufficient; at least thirty are needed..."

Regarding Editor-in-Chief Wang's meaning, Ye Xuan nodded slightly to show understanding.

Publishing a poetry collection is actually still publishing a book.

A poem can be as short as a few dozen characters or as long as several hundred characters.

If one wants to publish a poetry collection, there will naturally be certain requirements for the word count and length.

Noticing that Ye Xuan understood his meaning, Editor-in-Chief Wang adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued.

"Considering the creation time for thirty poems, do you think three months is enough?!"

Editor-in-Chief Wang had already calculated in his heart.

Although the word count of poetry is small, it also requires careful carving.

Is three months a bit too short?!

After all, for many poets who cooperate with the publishing house, it is common for them not to be able to write anything in three to five years.

Just as Editor-in-Chief Wang was thinking about whether to extend the cooperation time, he saw Ye Xuan shake his head.

See.

Even Mr. Ye thinks three months is too short.

Editor-in-Chief Wang was just about to suggest changing it to half a year when he saw Ye Xuan say lightly.

"I'll give it to you tomorrow."

As soon as these five short words came out, the words in Editor-in-Chief Wang's mouth could no longer be spoken.

To... morrow?!

Am I having tinnitus, or am I hallucinating?!

Just as Editor-in-Chief Wang was still doubting his ears, Ye Xuan had already left first after exchanging contact information.

That night, Editor-in-Chief Wang didn't sleep well at all.

Write a full thirty poems in one night?!

If anyone dared to be so boastful in front of him, he would guarantee to spray the other person with a face full of spit!

That's not how you daydream?!

But the person who said this is Ye Xuan!

Mr. Ye has always been a man of his word...

Just under this struggle of "can do it" and "cannot do it," Editor-in-Chief Wang magnificently... suffered from insomnia!

Until the morning sun shone through the window, Editor-in-Chief Wang had to climb out of bed with two deep dark circles under his eyes.

Opening his phone, he happened to see two little red dots pop up on the green chat software.

【Ye Xuan: 【Poetry Collection word】】
