The dead of night when you are alone is a great time for thinking.
Although Xie Qian despised Zhao Dong's behavior, some of Zhao Dong's characteristics were still worth learning from.
It has been two or three years since Zhao Dong returned to China. He has been hitting a wall all the time, but he never gave up. He persisted and finally got the person he wanted.
Before falling asleep, Xie Qian was still thinking, what a coincidence, the people from the magazine chose to go to Chengdu for negotiations tomorrow. He wondered if Wen Ying could negotiate the publication of "Teenage Idol" alone.
…
Wen Ying left home at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Xiao Niu and the editor-in-chief will arrive at Zou Weijun's office at two o'clock, and Wen Ying chose to take a taxi in order to be on time.
Zou Weijun was waiting for Wen Ying at the entrance of the office. Wen Ying got out of the car and jogged a few steps.
"Aunt Zou!"
"Slow down, there's no rush."
Zou Weijun was a little surprised to see that Wen Ying was the only one who came.
She can discuss the preliminary matters with Wen Ying, but don’t Wen Ying’s parents need to be present for the publishing contract?
Wen Ying had already explained this, "I'm already sixteen years old, and the contract I signed is legally binding. My parents said I can make my own decisions about writing novels."
——In fact, Manager Chen doesn’t want to pay any attention to Wen Ying at all now, and Wen Ying forcibly interprets it as "making her own decision".
Zou Weijun didn't know much about Wen Ying's family situation, but he knew that Wen Ying had invested 500,000 yuan in Tianjiao's TV series. Wen Ying could have the final say on such a large sum of money, so it didn't seem strange to let Wen Ying sign the publishing contract herself.
Are people who are at least sixteen years old but under eighteen years old qualified to sign a contract?
If her main source of livelihood is her own labor income, she can be regarded as a person with full civil capacity when she is over 16 years old - that is, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong will not care about Wen Ying at all and will not support her. She needs to work to support herself, so she is old enough to sign a labor contract.
Even if one's main source of livelihood is not his or her own labor income, but the actions taken are appropriate to his or her age and intelligence, the contract is still valid.
Wen Ying felt that she was not satisfied with the first requirement, but she was satisfied with the second one.
Being of the same age, Wen Ying had no problem signing a publishing contract, but it would be very problematic for Li Mengjiao to sign a contract with an entertainment company.
The former is for the publication of a single book, while the latter may trick Li Mengjiao into signing an unequal "indenture"!
It is actually not easy to trick Wen Ying in the contract, because she can understand the contract traps.
Of course, in order to reassure Zou Weijun, Wen Ying still assured Zou Weijun that even if "Aige" offered her better conditions today, she would control herself and not sign the contract on the spot.
"I'll ask a lawyer to take a look first and only sign if there's no problem."
Wen Ying knew what was going on, so Zou Weijun felt relieved.
Smart kids know what they are doing.
Besides, Zou Weijun is watching here.
Today is Saturday, and there are not many people in Zou Weijun's unit. Zou Weijun took Wen Ying to the office to wait, but an hour later, the editor-in-chief of "Aige" finally arrived.
The editor-in-chief of "Aige" is named Han. She is a tall woman with slightly dark skin and looks very serious.
Editor-in-Chief Han was followed by a young girl with a ponytail and glasses.
As soon as Editor-in-Chief Han arrived, he set his eyes on Zou Weijun, but the young girl was looking at Wen Ying.
"Little Salamander."
"...You are Xiaoyu?"
Wen Ying's pen name is "Fish Against the Current" and her editor is Xiao Niu. They both feel that they are destined to be together.
We have been in contact online for a long time, but this is the first time we meet in person. Xiao Niu is just as Wen Ying thought, still a bit childish, definitely a new editor.
The little salamander looked at Wen Ying and thought that Wen Ying looked so small.
Although he knew Wen Ying's age, it still took Xiao Niu some time to digest the feeling after actually meeting her.
After confirming that Wen Ying was not joking, Xiao Niu became excited.
Such a young new author.
If I can win over "Aige", I will write many good works for "Aige" in the future.
The first novel is at the level of "Teenage Idol". Xiao Niu is really optimistic about Wen Ying's future. On the way to Chengdu, Xiao Niu kept "giving advice" to Editor-in-Chief Han, and finally convinced Editor-in-Chief Han.
Editor-in-Chief Han is willing to increase the manuscript fee for the serialization of "Teenage Idol" in the magazine from 180 yuan per thousand words to 240 yuan per thousand words.
The manuscript fee increased twice after five issues were serialized. For a new author, it is definitely a sign of the magazine's attention.
The quality of Wen Ying's next book is still unknown. If it is not as popular as "Teenage Idol", Chief Editor Han will be reluctant to pay her the 240 yuan per thousand words fee.
After all, it is difficult to lower the royalties once they go up, so it is okay to increase the royalties, provided that "Teenage Idol" is handed over to the magazine for operation and publication!
Editor-in-Chief Han believes that he came with full sincerity.
If Zou Weijun hadn't intervened, a new author like Wen Ying wouldn't have had to make Editor-in-Chief Han make such a special trip.
While Wen Ying and Xiao Niu were meeting like family, sparks were flying between Editor-in-Chief Han and Zou Weijun.
"Han Qin."
"Zou Weijun."
The two shook hands. Zou Weijun did not mention Han Qin's lateness, and Han Qin herself did not mention it either.
As soon as both parties sat down, Han Qin finally shifted most of her attention from Zou Weijun to Wen Ying.
What kind of image does Wen Ying have?
She is a little girl with a round face.
He doesn't look threatening at all.
A girl like this must be so excited to have her work published in "Aige", right?
Aside from a small number of full-time contributors, most are part-time. Some are students, others are office workers, but as far as Han Qin knows, most choose this line of work out of interest, and earning royalties is a great way to generate income.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
