"The ending? Which ending?"

Hearing Liu Jingting's words, he was as calm as Yi Shui'an was a little helpless.

"The manuscript I gave you is the whole of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and the 'full text' should be marked later."

"But-but, that knife has not been slashed yet, do you still remember the plot? The manuscript you gave only says that Hu Fei raised his knife to slash, my god!" Yi Shuian, who was also the author, quickly realized something and screamed in surprise, "You mean..."

"Yes." Liu Jingting knew that Yi Shuian had already known it, so he replied calmly.

Yi Shuian calmed down for a while and said, "You mean an open ending?"

"Yes." Liu Jingting was ready to be questioned, repeatedly asked, or even scolded in person, so his tone was calm and firm, which was a foregone conclusion.

"This is so open... amazing. Will you be scolded to death? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Thinking about it, oh," Liu Jingting also thought of another thing and said in annoyance, "I guess I'm going to cause trouble for you again this time."

Yi Shuian smiled bitterly and said, "If you stick to this ending, the troubles of other families will be nothing except yourself in the next half year. Believe me."

"Haha, you're right, I know this better than you."

After the ending of "Snow Mountain Fox" in that world came out, the whole of Hong Kong was infuriated, and readers almost kidnapped the author.

"Actually, you can easily give a perfect ending. Why did you make this choice?"

"Don't you think this is also a kind of fun? Different people continue their own endings based on their worldview and values. This is also a way for text readers to interact."

"That's true, but readers will always only recognize the original author's ending, and you will drive readers with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy. Are you sure?"

"Confirm," Liu Jingting replied without hesitation, "You don't have to worry about me at this time. No matter how readers comment or scold you, let them go. If it involves you, just push it on me."

"The most urgent task is to tell readers the news of the ending of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox". I'll go to Mr. Lu and Mr. Wei to discuss it, you - take care of it."

“Each one another.”

After Yi Shui'an talked with Liu Jingting, he immediately went to the president's office. Lu Yichou was filling out a document, and Yi Shui'an was a little surprised to see this expression.

"What happened?"

After all, my colleagues have been so long and know each other's personalities, there are not many things that can make Yishui confused. Lu Yichou asked with a black pen.

"Is the ending of "Snow Mountain Fox"?"

"Oh. Has the manuscript been sent?"

"No, what we serialized in January is the ending," Yi Shuian adjusted his tone, "I just called Liu Jingting and confirmed that this was an open ending."

The pen in Lu Yichou almost fell down, and his expression seemed to have eaten half a fly. He did not respond to Yi Shui'an's words and quickly pulled out the January issue of "The Great Rivers and Lakes" from his desk. He quickly turned to the chapter of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" and pointed to the last paragraph, "Will he slash this knife or not?" asked Yi Shui'an: "You mean. Is this the ending?"

"Well, he replied to me like this."

"This..." Lu Yicong's face changed a few times. "This" didn't show any content, so he took his cell phone and dialed Liu Jingting's phone number.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, do you understand?" Liu Jingting took the initiative to surrender without waiting for Lu Yichou to ask.

"So it's true?"

"Really, the ending of "Snow Mountain Fox" is a suspense, and there is no certain ending, and this has been decided long ago."

"and you……"

"I didn't think so much about the manuscript when I handed over it. If there were any problems, I would just push them to me."

"It's not a problem, it's true, there will be problems, but it's not necessary. There can be countless endings."

"Yes, so let the readers think about it."

Lu Yichou also knew Gu Yongsheng's personality. Since he said that, it means that there is no possibility of any adaptation.

"Then can we try to write a finale?" Lu Yichou asked tentatively.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Liu Jingting said seriously: "This book is the ending. I hope I can understand it, and I will bear all the consequences."

Now that I have said this, there is no room for change.

Lu Yichou was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, then do this first." After hung up the phone quickly, he looked up at Yi Shui'an and said, "Notify all editors of the magazine department to have a meeting!"

...

"Ah?!! How is this possible?"

"That's the ending? There's no ending. Miao Ruolan is still waiting for them!"

"Did Hu Fei just hold the knife up?"

After learning the news, Qianhong's editors were in an uproar and the conference room was suddenly in chaos.

At this time, Lu Yichou had recovered from his impetuousness and quickly planned more than a dozen countermeasures in his heart, and even began to appreciate and understand Gu Yongsheng's arrangement, because in the foreseeable future, #Snow Mountain Flying Fox Ending# will be the hottest topic in the publishing industry. If you cannot properly seek profit and avoid harm and obtain the greatest benefits for the magazine and the company, it is simply a shameful waste.

"Don't continue to worry about whether there is an ending. Our classmate Gu Yongsheng has confirmed with me and Editor An in person that this is the ending. What we are going to discuss now is how to reasonably let readers accept this ending."

"The magazine did not explain it." Team leader Kuang Heng continued.

“This is also one of our tasks.”

"The contract with Gu Yongsheng has arrived, and the serialization ends here." An editor suggested.

Lu Yichou's face changed slightly, he knocked on the table and said, "I would like to emphasize again that in the future, we Qianhong people can not stand up to help Gu Yongsheng speak, but we must never stand up to attack him. Everyone must remember this. Once discovered, we will be punished severely and do not say that we are not prepared."

"I understand, Mr. Lu."

The editor who proposed that the contract ended was frightened and the other editors nodded.

"Just as Mr. Lu said, we don't have to be against Gu Yongsheng, but we can keep silent appropriately. No matter what the purpose of this Snow Mountain Flying Fox ending incident has existed, we must show a positive attitude. I suggest that after announcing this ending, an event similar to the ending of the nation will be held immediately to divert attention."

Editor-in-chief Wei Wuzhi said expressionlessly.

"I don't think he has any purpose," Yi Shui'an suddenly answered, "In fact, after this matter is announced, he will be under greater pressure. In addition to facing the doubts and questions of readers, he also has to face the possible public condemnation that President Wei just said, such as deliberately framing his opponent."

Yi Shui'an has a clear personality and often confronts the two bosses in person. However, Mr. Wei didn't know what happened today, and he was in a very unhappy mood. He was not as gentle as usual. He said with a slightly cold tone: "We cannot bring personal emotions to work. Gu Yongsheng gave us such an ending, which is equivalent to letting us share the pressure for him."

"I analyze it truthfully and don't have personal emotions," Yi Shuian replied calmly. "And, because of his serialization, our magazine sales have been doubled."

"We paid him the best manuscript for the industry. If he really had no purpose, why didn't he put this novel in his own magazine?"

"When we made an appointment for the draft, we wanted a novella, and Mr. Wei should have known this."

"Why should we leave the ending to announce it? He can explain it to the readers first."

Yishui sighed, sighed and insisted: "I don't think he would have any purpose. He is not the first one with an open-ended work, and it may not be all bad things for us."

The battle between the two senior executives made the atmosphere at the conference terrible depression. The editors were all impatient, and they did not exhale, and Lu Yichou did not stop him. He sat aside and listened quietly, and from time to time lowered his head and stroked the screen of his mobile phone with his hands.

"He has announced the news on his personal microblog." As soon as Yi Shui'an finished speaking, Lu Yichou suddenly picked up his phone and looked at the screen and said.

Wei Wuzhi's face changed again. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the Tiaoge microblog. The first message was from Gu Yongsheng:

"The "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" serialized in "The Great Rivers and Lakes" has ended. Yes, this is a story with no affirmative ending, that is, the open ending, countless possibilities are left to readers to answer. Because of my previous communication mistakes, "The Great Rivers and Lakes" have just received news. I am sorry here. After that, there may be a legend of the protagonist Hu Fei, but the story of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" can only stay with the raised knife forever, because I don't know if he will chop it. Of course, I know that many people must have wanted to chop me now."
