Just as I was thinking about it, Shi Xiangrong and a middle-aged man wearing glasses hurried out of the house.
The middle-aged man with glasses walked up to Chen Jun and extended his hand enthusiastically.
"Hello, Comrade Chen Jun. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"I just took a look at your manuscript, it's excellent. Our 49th Literary and Art Newspaper is willing to sign a contract for the publication rights of this book, 'Drawing Sword,' at a price of two yuan per thousand words. If the subsequent response is good, we can also publish the book. The profits will be split 50-50. What do you think?"
Two yuan per thousand words, and the profits are split in half?
Chen Jun calculated that if the book "Bright Sword" was completed until the liberation, it would be about 200,000 words, and the royalties for the newspaper publication rights alone would be 400 yuan.
This is basically the annual income of an ordinary worker.
"No problem." Chen Jun nodded with a smile and shook hands with the middle-aged man with glasses.
"Thank you!" The middle-aged man with glasses seemed a little excited.
In his opinion, this book is a very good masterpiece, and it may even be adapted into a movie in the future.
Having worked in newspapers for several years, he had a hunch that this book would be a hit, and a very big hit.
As an editor, he will also see a salary increase and even increased visibility.
After discussing the price, the two parties simply went through the signing process, and Chen Jun left Sijiu Literature and Art.
As for Shi Xiangrong, after Chen Jun left, he began to busy himself with the typeset work for Liang Jian. This article can be seen in the newspaper the day after tomorrow.
After slacking off in the cafeteria director's office until the end of the day, Chen Jun leisurely rode his bicycle home.
Although there were receptions today, they were much fewer than when the class started, so Chen Jun naturally had some free time. Apart from being busy for a while in the morning, he basically had nothing to do in the afternoon.
A few minutes later, when Chen Jun passed by the street office, he was suddenly stopped by two aunts.
Looking closely, isn’t this Aunt Wei who organized the blind date?
"Oh, Auntie, I really don't go on blind dates."
Chen Jun now feels a bit of a headache seeing these two people. Who introduced the blind date to him like a sticky candy, and still came after being rejected twice?
And this time he was stopped halfway. If Chen Xueru happened to see him and misunderstood him, it would be funny.
Sister Wei acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She grabbed the handlebars of the bicycle and said with a smile, "Auntie, how can I harm you?"
"I know you're worried about people in the courtyard gossiping, so I just brought him out. You two can chat first, just like getting to know a friend."
After saying that, he winked at his companions, and then a girl in a camel-yellow woolen coat walked out of the street office.
The girl first glanced at Chen Jun, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.
So handsome!
My unreliable father, the factory director, is actually reliable for once.
Ma Fangfang fell in love with Chen Jun at first sight, but she was not as direct as she was during their last blind date. Instead, she lowered her head shyly.
"Hey, Fangfang, why are you shy? You two are just chatting, but we have things to do."
Then Sister Wei pushed Ma Fangfang towards Chen Jun and went back to the street office.
Chen Jun was speechless.
This is just forcing a blind date on you, even though you already have a partner.
"Hello, my name is Ma Fangfang, and I work in a textile factory."
Ma Fangfang quietly looked at Chen Jun and greeted him in a low voice.
So handsome!
Ma Fangfang felt like there was a little deer in her heart, jumping up and down and refusing to calm down.
"Comrade, I already have a partner." Chen Jun didn't want to say anything more to Ma Fangfang, but he felt that Ma Fangfang was innocent and that Sister Wei and the others were to blame.
Oh, his personality is so straightforward!
Ma Fangfang, who was used to being flattered by other blind date candidates, met someone who was cold to her for the first time.
But she didn't feel angry at all. Instead, she felt that Chen Jun was a man of character.
"Are you married then?"
Ma Fangfang pursed her lips and asked a little embarrassedly.
Chen Jun shook his head: "But we're getting married soon."
"Oh, I work as an accountant in a textile factory, and my father is..."
Before Ma Fangfang could finish her words, Chen Jun interrupted: "I know Aunt Wei also pushed you to come here for a blind date, so let's not waste each other's time. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Chen Jun got on his bicycle, pedaled hard, and left in a flash.
"ah?"
Ma Fangfang, who had not yet reacted, stared at Chen Jun's back for a few seconds.
No, you're leaving now?
Ma Fangfang, who was treated like this for the first time, suddenly felt a little wronged.
He didn't even bother to listen to his own self-introduction!
Am I really that terrible?
Ma Fangfang looked at her outfit today with some self-doubt. It was obviously very fashionable, and her hair was also specially styled.
Is it because my face is not pretty enough?
No, when she was on blind dates before, all the blind dates praised her for being beautiful.
As she thought about it, the somewhat arrogant Ma Fangfang felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry out of grievance.
But just when tears were about to fall, Ma Fangfang suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and a figure appeared in front of her.
Um?
Is Chen Jun back?
Ma Fangfang was delighted and looked up quickly, but what she saw was Liu Guangqi's face.
"Ma Fangfang, why are your eyes red? Did someone bully you?"
Liu Guangqi felt that he and Ma Fangfang were really destined to be together. They had just gone on a blind date a few days ago, and now they met today.
But Ma Fangfang's red eyes made him feel a little worried.
"I'm fine, go ahead."
Ma Fangfang shook her head and didn't want to say too much to Liu Guangqi.
"Hey, who bullied you? I, Liu Guangqi, will help you beat him back!"
Liu Guangqi, who had taken a fancy to Ma Fangfang, naturally would not miss this opportunity. He also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Ma Fangfang.
What’s wrong if you don’t like her? You can pursue her yourself.
Isn’t it said that good women are afraid of being clingy? After a long time, Ma Fangfang will definitely see her own advantages.
Do you still want to beat Chen Jun?
Ma Fangfang didn't want to bother with Liu Guangqi. She waved her hand and said impatiently, "Liu Guangqi, right? Please go away. I'm really fine."
"Why are you being so polite to me!" Liu Guangqi's main point is the word "entanglement"!
have to!
If you don’t leave, I will leave!
Ma Fangfang said nothing more, turned around and walked into the street office.
Liu Guangqi wanted to chase in, but suddenly heard Aunt Wei's voice coming from inside.
"Hey, Fangfang, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Guangqi saw Aunt Wei coming out in a hurry. She first looked around, as if she was looking for something.
But when he didn't find what he wanted to see, he turned his attention to Liu Guangqi.
"Alright, alright, Liu Guangqi, you're too bold! You actually dared to bully my Fangfang! I'll twist you to death!"
