Chapter 173 The book is about to be published
When Lin Anan is in a good mood, Chu Mingzhou is the most beautiful one.
He found that his young wife was surprisingly easy to talk tonight, and she was quite cooperative even when he urged her to take further action.
He is like two completely different people, so well-behaved and sweet.
"Chu Mingzhou, you can't do it!" Lin Anan frowned and pushed away his mouth.
You’ve already kissed halfway and your lips are almost numb, why don’t you get to the point?
Chu Mingzhou was obviously stunned. He was also scared after losing control last time. Lin Anan's physical condition was too poor, so he could only be gentle.
But this little woman in front of me...
A bit provocative.
"Hmm~"
Lin Anan was grabbed by the neck and pulled closer. Chu Mingzhou's eyes were filled with dark thoughts. "I'm very capable, but I don't want to hurt you."
He is so shameless!
Lin Anan's next words were all muted by his tongue, leaving only broken sobs that lasted for half the night.
Lin Anan was so tired that she started to hide, cry, and tremble.
Chu Mingzhou, however, remained calm and composed. His physical strength was hopelessly good, and his strong waist did not even feel the slightest bit of soreness or numbness.
In the end, because I really felt sorry for her, I changed to a gentle kiss and put her to sleep.
…
Lin Anan feels that human limits can really be developed.
Like this time, hey, I was much more successful, I only lay in bed for two days...
Still very resistant.
After the weekend on Saturday, Chu Mingzhou received a mission and had to go out for five days.
Lin Anan patted her chest and assured, "I'm at home, so you can go without worry."
"Well, I've already told Sister Lan that she will come back on time to cook every day. You just need to rest at home."
Chu Mingzhou was still a little worried and reluctant. After all, this was her first time to go on a big mission since she joined the army.
This journey will take five days.
Lin Anan helped him pack his luggage. It was just a small package, so little.
"Xiao Lan and Xiao Yu are both studying. It's very convenient. I don't have to worry about anything."
"Um."
Before leaving, Chu Mingzhou hugged the man in his arms for a long time, "Remember to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit on Thursday. I have asked Lu Qing to give Zihuai half a day off and let him accompany you."
"Okay, got it."
After hesitating for a long time, one looked back every three steps, while the other took two steps at a time.
Finally, when she saw her neighbors laughing not far away, Lin Anan ran back home with a red face.
The news came from Yuanying Publishing House on Tuesday: it’s done!
Liu Weidong's attitude was even more impeccable. He personally went to the door to invite people, "Comrade Lin, good news! Our publishing house has conducted a detailed review of your two books and has fully finalized them."
"Editor Liu, please come in."
Lin Anan welcomed the guest in, took out some good tea and immediately made some for him.
"I have negotiated a royalty rate for you, which is 5%. As for the print run, our president originally planned to order 5,000 copies to see how the market reacts. After all, you are still a new author."
Liu Weidong was really thirsty. He blew on the tea and took several sips. “But I am very optimistic about your work. After all, it is bilingual and you can’t find it easily! So I applied for 20,000 copies each.”
Lin Anan is not very clear about the number of publications in this era, but from 5,000 to 20,000, it is conceivable...
"Editor Liu, thank you so much."
Liu Weidong smiled and shook his head. "You're welcome. Print 20,000 copies to test the market. If it's good, I will do my best to get it for you."
"Thanks."
Liu Weidong went into more details.
At the very least, Lin Anan felt that the pie he drew was very sincere, with fillings in it, making it comfortable to eat.
After finishing what needed to be discussed, Lin Anan changed her coat and the two went out.
"I mean to publish it quickly. For example, "Spring Letter" is very suitable for the current time period. Once it is released in the spring..."
As they talked, the two walked out of the military compound.
As luck would have it, I ran into Aunt Wang and Aunt Hu.
Aunt Wang glanced at Liu Weidong several times, moved her lips twice, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Aunt Hu's eyes rolled around.
With just one glance, Lin Anan saw through her evil intentions.
Lin Anan remembered her. She had seen her in a public toilet some time ago.
"Aunt Wang, what a coincidence!"
"Comrade Lin..."
After what happened to Chu Mingzhou on the bus last time, Lin Anan had had enough. She didn’t want to get pregnant every time!
You can't just keep silent about everything and wait until things come to a head before letting Chu Mingzhou solve them.
So what she wants now is to take the initiative!
Since they love to gossip and love to eat melons, just feed the melons to them.
Lin Anan smiled and nodded to Aunt Wang, her smile was decent and gentle, "Look, my book is about to be published, and now I have to sign the contract."
"What? Publishing a book? You?"
Aunt Hu was stunned!
She had a bad impression of Lin Anan. No, it was very bad.
A girl, wiping people's mouths after they had eaten in a public toilet, has no manners at all. How can such a person publish a book?
Lin Anan raised her hand and smoothed her hair. "Yes, the editor has come to invite me. I will go to the publishing house now! When the book is published, I will bring a copy for you aunts to read."
Aunt Hu frowned and asked without thinking, "Big editor? Him?"
Liu Weidong raised his glasses and looked at Aunt Hu. He was not sure. After all, this was a military compound. He did not dare to say anything for fear of offending the powerful military family.
"This is Editor Liu from Yuanying Publishing House, which is the largest publishing house in Northwest China."
"ah?"
Aunt Hu wanted to say something but was pulled back by Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang smiled awkwardly, "Comrade Lin, congratulations, you've even published a book, that's amazing."
Lin Anan waved her hand and said, "Okay, we'll leave first, you guys get busy."
Liu Weidong nodded and continued to walk out with Lin Anan, ignoring the changing expressions of Aunt Wang and the others.
The two went to the publishing house, and Lin Anan carefully read the terms of the contract. After confirming that they were correct, she signed it.
Liu Weidong extended his hand to Lin Anan, "Comrade Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you! Next, we will proceed with the publication as planned as soon as possible."
Lin Anan shook his hand gently and said, "Thank you."
Liu Weidong called two young comrades over, saying they were from the Propaganda Department.
"The advance exposure will definitely be in newspapers. Our publishing house has abundant paper media resources. When the first batch of books goes on sale, if they meet expectations, we will arrange a book signing event to increase exposure for the books and Comrade Lin.
In addition, for books like Firefly, I think we can hold some small book sharing sessions in schools and libraries to attract more readers. Moreover, now everyone is paying attention to cultural exchanges. Our book is a bilingual version, and under necessary conditions, we have the opportunity to enter..."
After everything was settled, Lin Anan said goodbye.
The sky was gradually getting dark.
On a winter evening, the wind was so cold that Lin Anan could not help but wrap herself in her coat tightly.
The street lamps on both sides of the street lit up one after another. The dim lights cast circles of soft halos, which contrasted with the lingering sunset glow on the horizon.
Lin Anan got on the bus back to the military compound, feeling particularly happy.
Recalling today's communication with Liu Weidong and the publicity plan made by the publishing house for her book, she felt hopeful and full of expectations for the future.
When the bus passed a small square, it braked suddenly and many people squeezed into the bus.
Lin Anan accidentally looked out the window and saw a very familiar figure...
