Chapter 149 Publishing House Manager



Even if the Women's Federation intervened, what could it do? Calling all the people in the Liu family to criticize them, or even calling the police to arrest them and lock them up for a few days, it would not solve her situation.

Second uncle's house was not far from the hospital, and the two of them arrived there leisurely in twenty minutes.

They borrowed the large conference room of the Second Hospital, and after being divided into groups, those who had no relevant experience would attend the lectures here.

The room was much warmer without the draft. There were several fireplaces built along the wall, and they were now burning, making the room much warmer.

The windows in the hospital are all made of glass, and when winter comes, they will be sealed from the outside to ensure that no wind leaks in.

Even the front and back doors were covered with thick curtains.

If it is an ordinary resident's home, the windows may still be paper-covered, and the light transmittance is not as good as glass.

Jiang Mengxue also relaxed and took off her equipment. Now she didn't feel cold even though she was only wearing a loose sweater.

She sat in the last row with several doctors.

"Doctor Jiang, come and sit down.

The booklet you wrote is extremely useful.

When I took it home, my daughter saw it and said that she realized there were so many things to pay attention to in life, and she said that I had never told her before.

Jiang Mengxue comforted her, "That can't be helped. Doctors are always busy. They have to rush back to the hospital whenever the patient needs them. She will understand."

That being said, if you are absent when your child needs your company the most, then don't blame your child for not being close to you when he or she doesn't tell you about something in the future.

She understands parents wanting to give their children a good life, or working hard for their own careers.

But she can better understand the loss of children when they want to share anything with their parents first, but get no response.

Maybe it's because I've experienced it myself, so I care more about it.

When she was a child, she could only contact her parents through the phone. She wanted to share with them that she was awarded the title of "Three Good Students", scored 100 points in the exam, and which event she signed up for in the sports meet, but she could only get a calm "great" and then be told to take care of herself and her grandfather at home.

A child who grew up on his own has never been taught by anyone how to get along with his parents. When he grows up, he is told that he is a good kid and is not close to his parents at all. No wonder he was left at home since childhood and is not as filial as his younger siblings.

Perhaps the only thing Jiang Mengxue can be thankful for is that she has no younger brothers or sisters.

Dr. Liu sighed, "I'm truly ashamed. As a doctor, I'm so busy with work every day that I rarely pay attention to my family. My daughter's menstruation was always handled by my mother-in-law. As a mother, I've been so derelict in my duty."

Jiang Mengxue didn't say anything else. It didn't matter if a person could reflect on himself. What mattered was whether he could change.

Jiang Mengxue was not interested in telling these things to others. She just needed to know what she should do in the future.

"Doctor Liu, is it you or Doctor Yang who is teaching the morning class? I don't think Doctor Yang is here yet."

"Doctor Yang, I have something to do with a patient. Come back this afternoon." He turned to look at the people sitting on the other side. "Almost everyone has arrived. I'm going to class. It's my first time as a teacher, and I'm quite nervous."

Jiang Mengxue nodded and prepared to look through the book she brought.

She had already torn a notebook to pieces, and it was really annoying to read what she had written over and over again, so she simply found something else to do.

She has recently become very interested in various pills. She grinds all the medicinal materials into powder, adds spiritual spring water, and rolls them into small pills. It is convenient and interesting.

Even digestive hawthorn pills that the child may need in the future were prepared.

Whenever she sees something interesting or necessary, she will write it down, and the outside noise cannot disturb her at all.

"Doctor Jiang, Doctor Jiang?"

Wu Shuke outside the door called out several times but Jiang Mengxue didn't hear him.

Wu Shuke had no choice but to look at everyone apologetically, trotted in, walked to Jiang Mengxue and pushed her.

"Doctor Jiang, please come out. Someone is looking for you."

Jiang Mengxue was startled by her sudden appearance and looked up to find that many people were looking at her.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing that there were so many people around, Wu Shuke didn't say much.

He whispered, "Come to the office. Someone from the publishing house wants to see you."

Jiang Mengxue suddenly realized that Wu Shuke had mentioned it once before, but she didn't expect him to come so soon.

Putting on a cotton jacket, Jiang Mengxue came to her previous office.

A middle-aged man was sitting at the office desk, and next to him was a lesbian who looked to be in her twenties.

"Sorry, I'm late."

The two stood up and smiled as they reached out to shake hands with Jiang Mengxue.

"We came too suddenly and disturbed Dr. Jiang's work. We should be the ones to apologize."

"Don't bother me, it's my pleasure. Please take a seat."

Jiang Mengxue picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for each of them.

"Thanks."

Jiang Mengxue sat down opposite the two of them, and Wu Shuke also sat aside. She was actually afraid that Jiang Mengxue, being young, would be fooled by the old fox, so she wanted to stay and keep an eye on her.

"Hello, Comrade Jiang. I'm Xia Houliang, the person in charge of your contact at Linjiang Publishing House. This is my assistant, Chen Lixiu."

Chen Lixiu smiled at Jiang Mengxue, and Jiang Mengxue also smiled and nodded.

"We're here to discuss the distribution of your hygiene brochure. We've created two versions of the contract, either for a buyout or profit sharing. You can take a look at them first."

Jiang Mengxue took the two contracts handed to her by the other party and took a quick look at them.

The buyout fee is two thousand yuan, or a certain amount per thousand words.

The profit sharing is 13% of the royalties.

That is, the book's list price multiplied by sales volume, multiplied by the royalty rate.

If the booklet is priced at one cent and 100,000 copies are sold, Jiang Mengxue will get 1,300 yuan.

Jiang Mengxue actually doesn’t know much about prices, and doesn’t quite understand the profit sharing and book pricing.

Thinking that my second uncle works in the Education Bureau and must know a lot about this, I plan to go back and ask him tonight.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Xia, I don't really understand any of this. I want to go back and discuss it with my family."

Xiahou Liang was also prepared for the possibility that the negotiations would fail, so he was not disappointed.

"Of course, you can take both contracts back with you. I'll come back in a few days. Or you can go to our publishing house and have a look. We will also repackage the books. We rushed them before, so they are a bit rough."

Jiang Mengxue nodded: "Okay, I will give you a reply as soon as possible. I'm sorry to make you make this trip."

After seeing the two off, Wu Shuke no longer sat there reservedly, but instead picked up the contract and started looking at it.

"Team Leader Wu, do you know anything about this? I don't know if the price they offered is appropriate."

Wu Shuke had never encountered such a thing before. She stayed only because she was worried that Jiang Mengxue would suffer a loss.
