Chapter 488 Harvest
In the next week, Lin Anan was relaxed. Except for going to the hospital to cooperate with the customized treatment plan, she stayed at home with her family.
During this period, I started working on the new book "Dawn", which happened to be seen by Editor Liu who came to my house.
Editor Liu didn't even need to read the manuscript, he just patted his chest and wanted to discuss the contract terms, which made Lin Anan very happy.
The main purpose of his visit was to report the results of his recent efforts. Although the cooperation with the Provincial Department of Culture has come to an end and Lin Anan is no longer a literary consultant, "Spine" is still shining.
As for Yingyuan Publishing House’s promotion of Lin Zihuai, he had to let Lin Anan know that favors were one thing, and doing things beautifully as people asked them to do was another.
Through the promotion of Yingyuan Publishing House during this period, not only did Lin Zihuai become the biggest beneficiary, but even the Northwestern Theater Army Avant-garde Art Troupe became a big hit.
Things are different now. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the most influential art troupes in China.
"Thank you so much, Editor Liu."
Lin Anan is really grateful to him. To Lin Anan, Editor Liu is not only a good friend, but also a mentor.
Editor Liu didn't dare to thank her, "Teacher Lin, I won't dare to come here again after you said that. I should be the one thanking you!
These publicity programs were so successful because you gave us the opportunity. The Art Troupe, the Northwest Military Region, and the Provincial Department of Culture all worked together, and we pushed forward one by one..."
Editor Liu said it quite bluntly. Throughout this period of progress, they have always had first-hand information, and exclusive filming and interview rights, etc. The profits brought to their publishing house really cannot be measured in money.
"It's our duty to help each other."
Editor Liu took out a stack of reports from his briefcase. The papers were a little wrinkled, and it was obvious that he had read them over many times before coming.
"Teacher Lin, you see, the sales of "Spine" broke a new record last month! The Northwest Film Studio also contacted us and said that they wanted to make "Spine" the subject of their next movie..."
His fingers slid quickly across the report, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "And Comrade Xiao Lin, he is quite influential now, many people want to go to the art troupe to watch his performance, but it's hard to get a seat."
Lin Anan took the report and looked at the densely packed data on it, feeling very relieved.
The money in her pocket kept coming in and out, and she could never keep it. Editor Liu came to do the calculation today, and the share of the royalties can be settled.
"I didn't expect it to have such a good effect. Zihuai must be very happy."
"That's right!" Editor Liu slapped his thigh, "Now, everyone knows that our Yingyuan Publishing House has a unique vision and can dig out so many good seedlings. That's right!"
He suddenly remembered something and took out a small exquisite box from his bag. "This is a souvenir specially made for you by the publishing house. Thank you for your support during this period."
In the box was a commemorative medal engraved with the title of the book "Spine". The pure silver material glowed softly in the sunlight.
Lin Anan picked it up gently and stroked the convex and concave characters with her fingertips, feeling that it was of great commemorative value. "You are so thoughtful. Thank you."
Editor Liu had just finished his talk when Lu Qing arrived right after he left.
"sister in law."
"Editor Liu just left. If you had come earlier, you would have thanked him."
"Oh~ What a coincidence! But don't worry, I will go to their publishing house in a couple of days and I will definitely thank them in person.
They really helped our art troupe this time, and the articles and reports they wrote were very good.”
Lu Qing is a very slick person. Just like coming here at this time, he wants to have a meal for free. It’s not that he is taking advantage of others, but because Lin’s mother’s cooking is delicious.
However, his next move surprised Lin Anan. He actually took out three thousand yuan and handed it to Lin Anan, saying that he had specially approved it from the troupe and it was the copyright fee for "Blood Plum in the Pit".
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Sister-in-law, don't be polite to me. This is what you deserve."
"Blood Plum in the Pit" has now become the main original program of the art troupe, with good response and a wide audience.
"This time Tang City has such a big problem, our art troupe was temporarily recalled and had to change the schedule to perform charity shows. We have to raise more supplies for our compatriots in the disaster area."
"Thank you for your hard work."
“It should be.”
As Lu Qing was talking, Li Ran came over with a basket, "An An! I brought you some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it's delicious. Hey... Instructor Lu is here too!"
Lu Qing had met Li Ran a few days ago, because this girl went to the art troupe to find Lin Zihuai, saying that she was delivering a message for his sister to let him know that she was safe.
"Li the translator."
The serious business here has been discussed and Lin's mother's meal is ready.
Naturally, the two of them stayed to eat.
We ate and talked, and the more we talked, the more familiar we became.
"Mingzhou called the regiment yesterday and said he would be back in the next two days. The military region will definitely hold a commendation meeting after he comes back, and we will have a good meal then."
"That's a must."
Seeing some half-made new clothes on the sewing machine not far away, Lu Qing sighed, "Sister-in-law is so virtuous. Mingzhou has never lacked clothes since you came into the family. And look at Zhuangzhuang, what a cute boy. Now he has a wife and children, and he lives a good life."
Lin's mother immediately responded by teasing him, "Xiao Lu, you are not young anymore, hurry up and find a wife. You are so handsome, the child you give birth to cannot be worse than Zhuangzhuang."
Lu Qing, who was so thick-skinned, suddenly blushed, "Aunt, please stop teasing me. I am fully focused on the art troupe and don't have time."
"You and Dr. Gu are both excellent young people, but you are too picky."
"I'm not picky, it's just that fate hasn't arrived yet."
Li Ran bit his chopsticks and smiled.
Lin's mother also said to her, "Xiao Ran, don't laugh. You are not young anymore. It's time to find a partner."
Not knowing which sentence was wrong, Lin Anan saw that Lu Qing and Li Ran suddenly fell silent.
Mother Lin wanted to speak, but Lin Anan interrupted her, "Mom, give me another bowl of soup. It's delicious."
"Okay."
Lin Anan knew her mother too well, so her next sentence would definitely be: Xiao Lu, take a look at Xiao Ran...
We can't just match them up randomly. If it really becomes awkward for them, they won't dare to come again.
After finishing the meal, Lu Qing and Li Ran were about to return to the army.
The two of them went out together, but Lin Anan wasn't sure whether they left together.
She also had to take care of the children and make a few sets of autumn clothes. There were not only clothes for Chu Mingzhou, but also for other people in the family.
