Chapter 153 They really dare to give that!

Finally, get out of class ended, and Wu Qiuyu immediately turned to her deskmate, "Jieling, it's time to return my novel."

Jieling was engrossed in reading and didn't want to return it. "Oh, Yuqiu, don't be stingy. I'll return it to you after I finish reading it."

Wu Yuqiu, hands on her hips, said angrily, "No way! You promised to give it back to me after class. You broke your promise, so I'm never lending it to you again."

She meant well; I was too afraid to look at it during class, so I lent it to her.

I promised to return it to her after class, why are you going back on your word?

Although Jieling still wanted to continue reading, she felt embarrassed to keep it any longer and reluctantly returned the novel to her.

"You stingy person... I'll just go buy one myself in a little while."

After returning the book to Wu Qiuyu, she could only crane her neck to look at the novel that Wu Qiuyu kept turning the pages of.

Thinking about the plot I haven't finished watching yet, I feel like a swarm of ants are crawling all over me, making me incredibly itchy.

Finally, school was over, and I rushed out of the school.

He actually bought a copy at the newsstand, and without even going home first, he stood next to the newsstand and continued reading from where he left off last time.

She finished reading the entire novel magazine in three days, and the one that impressed her the most was the novel called "The President Chases His Wife, the Sweet and Savage Secretary Can't Escape".

I've finished reading this 90,000-word installment. The rest of the content will be available in the next installment next month.

She was so anxious thinking about what would happen next that she cried out in frustration, "Ugh! Why do we have to wait another month?! That awful author, couldn't you just release it all at once?"

Not only her, but many other people share the same idea.

The underhanded trick Shen Xuewei gave Feng Xuemei actually worked quite well, attracting many of her loyal readers to Suoai.

In addition, Shen Xuewei's story is novel and her writing is vivid and engaging, which has attracted a large number of readers.

After the newsstand and bookstore owners sold the last copy of the "Love Locked" magazine, they noticed that this magazine was different from the previous ones when asked when they would be restocked.

She noted down the number of people who wanted the latest issue of "Love Lock," and after they left, she immediately called to order dozens more copies.

After the new orders arrived, many more were quickly sold out.

These days, many people have specifically asked for this book, I wonder what magic it possesses.

The bosses were suspicious, and in order to understand what was going on, they opened it up to see what was new and interesting.

After reading it... the bosses picked up the phone and ordered another hundred or so copies.

They had a feeling that "Love Lock" was going to be a hit.

Two weeks after the magazine went on sale, Feng Xuemei looked at the preliminary statistics and cheered with her editors.

"Three hundred thousand copies. According to preliminary estimates, our latest issue has already sold three hundred thousand copies. Based on current projections, we expect to sell four hundred thousand copies by the end of the month..."

Feng Xuemei said excitedly, "It seems we made the right move."

It was worth the time she spent communicating with Shen Xuewei over the past few months. The final result was satisfactory and even far exceeded her original goal, giving her a pleasant surprise.

A well-known domestic novel magazine like Bieyang sells around 550,000 copies per month.

While Lock Love's scale is less than half that of Bie Yang, it still managed to sell 400,000 copies, a truly remarkable achievement.

It's worth noting that Shen Xuewei's CEO romance novel has a total of 650,000 words and is expected to be serialized in seven installments over a total of seven months.

Even if Shen Xuewei stops submitting articles to them in the next seven months, they will have gained a new group of readers.

Even if some readers leave later, as long as one-tenth of them remain, it will be enough for Lock Love to survive for a long time.

During this time, Feng Xuemei believed that she would definitely be able to find novels with good content.

Of course, we can't give up on Shen Xuewei either.

This kid is just greedy... being greedy is good, the more greedy he is, the faster his brain works, the better his writing becomes, and the more readers he attracts.

After the preliminary statistics were released and she celebrated with her colleagues, the first thing Feng Xuemei did upon returning to her computer was to open her chat window with Shen Xuewei.

Xuexue is a pretty girl: Dear Huayunbi, are you interested in writing about this kind of topic for your next book? I'm accepting submissions long-term and can pay 250 yuan per thousand words. Do you think that's okay?

After sending that message, she looked at Yun Li's QQ avatar in her contact list and felt a pang of guilt.

Sorry, she's going to be competing with Yun Li for him from now on.

Yun Li suddenly sneezed, pulled her light jacket tighter around herself, and said with dissatisfaction, "Who turned the air conditioning down so low? Even if it's free, don't turn it up like an icebox."

Shen Xuewei certainly didn't reply to Feng Xuemei's message so quickly.

Although it was Monday, she wasn't at school; instead, she was bending over in the field harvesting rice.

The school gave students a three-day break for the busy farming season, allowing them to help harvest grain at home.

The early rice planted by the Chen family was harvested in mid-May.

This year, the Chen family planted ten mu of rice.

Shen Xuewei and the three elderly people in her family spent five whole days cutting and threshing the rice.

Chen Fanglan also took a special leave to go home and work for two days.

The five men set off to harvest rice before dawn and didn't return until dark.

They barely managed to harvest the rice from ten acres of land.

Some of the rice was dried on the rooftop, and some was laid out on tarpaulins in front of the door. It took seven or eight days to dry all the rice.

After working in the fields for five days, Shen Xuewei returned to school with a darker complexion than before, and her teeth looked even whiter when she smiled.

She was too tired, and she also had to memorize what the teacher taught, so she didn't go to the computer lab for the two days she returned to school.

She didn't sit down in front of the computer until she returned to school the following week and cleaned up the computer lab.

After seeing the message from Feng Xuemei, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

The sun must have risen in the west; it was Feng Xuemei joking with her.

I spent months pestering her to get the 250 yuan per thousand words fee!

Why did he change his attitude today and offer her 250 yuan per thousand words for her next book?

It's worth noting that the book she's currently writing is only at the beginning and is expected to be finished by the end of next month.

This is the third book she has started this semester, and she has no plans to start a fourth one, at least not before summer vacation.

After all, she is a person, and not only a person, but also a student. Being too diligent will exhaust her.

As for her next book, she never even considered submitting it to Feng Xuemei.

However, since they're being so generous...

She typed a line of text.

Become a rich woman soon: 270 yuan per thousand words.

Feng Xuemei, who was sitting in front of her computer, responded quickly.

Xuexue is a pretty girl: Deal.

Upon seeing those two words, Shen Xuewei's eyes widened instantly.

No, when did they become so generous?

It's worth noting that a fee of 270 yuan per thousand words is something only top authors in the industry can earn.

She's currently working at Bieyang, and her payment has increased to 190 yuan per thousand words, but it's still a full 80 yuan less than what Feng Xuemei pays!

She was bold enough to ask, and she didn't expect the other party to actually give it to her!
