Zou Weijun still made an appointment with Wen Ying's family to meet at the bar opposite the unit.
It was true that Wen Ying's pseudonym could no longer be concealed, but there was no need to make a scene at work and let Editor Wan and the others laugh at her.
In addition to Zou Weijun, Zheng Zhihe, who had received the news, was also on his way.
When Wen Ying's family rushed over here, Zou Weijun and Xiao Niu were already waiting there, and Xiao Niu was a little dazed.
"Sister Zou, aren't you afraid?"
Zou Weijun glanced at the little salamander and said, "He's doing the right thing, so what's there to be afraid of?"
The publishing contract can withstand scrutiny. When Wen Ying was slandered by the magazine and Han Qin, Zou Weijun and Rongcheng Publishing Group were the first to defend Wen Ying's rights. Zou Weijun had no selfish motives when doing these two things, so he was naturally not afraid of being held accountable by Wen Ying's parents.
Zou Weijun's calmness infected Xiao Niu, and Xiao Niu couldn't help laughing: When I was working with Editor-in-Chief Han, there were many disagreements between them. If I had stayed in "Aige", I would either be assimilated by Editor-in-Chief Han, or break up with him. The job is obviously quite stable, but I always feel uneasy in my heart.
It’s different when I work with Sister Zou. Sister Zou is fair in her work. Although she hasn’t been promoted yet, she wants to stay in Chengdu to work.
A word popped up in the little salamander's mind: like-minded.
She and Sister Zou have the same interests!
Xiao Niu was laughing when there was a noise at the door. Zou Weijun stood up and Xiao Niu immediately stopped laughing.
Chen Ru is here.
Wen Ying was not allowed to come up, so Wen Dongrong and Deng Shangwei stayed in the car to guard Wen Ying and not allow her to inform the people from the publishing house. Chen Ru went to the meeting alone!
Chen Ru saw Zou Weijun, and Zou Weijun also saw Chen Ru.
Many years later, Wen Ying still felt that this was a historic meeting. Because she didn't see it in person, Wen Ying didn't know the details of the meeting. When she asked about it later, neither Chen Ru nor Zou Weijun elaborated, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.
When Chen Ru went upstairs, Wen Ying muttered in the car: "Aunt Zou has a gentle personality, but my mother has a bad temper..."
Wen Dongrong sneered, "You're still worried about others, why don't you worry about yourself?"
Wen Dongrong wanted to ask why you don’t worry about “your dad”, after all, you can’t lose face as the head of the family.
Wen Ying didn't want to talk to her father who was just a tool.
The tool has no loyalty and may betray her at any time, but Aunt Zou always protects her, so she must be worried about Aunt Zou!
…
In the water bar, the fiery scene that Wen Ying imagined did not appear. Chen Ru even took the initiative to extend her hand, "Ms. Zou, right? I've seen you before."
When the "Shrimp King" store opened, Zou Weijun went to show his support to Wen Ying and others.
Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong also went there, but the difference was that Zou Weijun showed up openly, while Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong watched secretly from across the street. Later, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were caught in the act by Wen Ying... Zou Weijun has an outstanding personal temperament, just like Xie Qian, people will remember him after meeting him once. Chen Ru just couldn't match the person with his identity before, but when she saw Zou Weijun in person, her memory came back.
Another memory also came with it: when going to Tianjiao Film and Television to review the loan qualifications, Li Zhentao took the initiative to reduce the loan amount, saying that Xie Qian's mother decided to invest, and Tianjiao's funding gap became smaller.
Li Zhentao reduced the loan amount by 3 million, which means that Zou Weijun invested 3 million.
...is a rich man.
However, Chen Ru never judges people by how much money they have. So what if Zou Weijun is rich? Rich people won’t cheat children, right?
Chen Ru's face was gloomy, and Zou Weijun shook hands with Chen Ru with a gentle expression. "What a coincidence! I've heard of you a long time ago, but I've never had the chance to meet you. You've taught Wen Ying so well, and I've always wanted to learn how you raise children."
In this environment where academic performance is generally used to measure whether a child is excellent, Xie Qian is undoubtedly the best child.
Logically, Zou Weijun should be complacent, but he is not.
Zou Weijun felt from the bottom of his heart that Wen Ying was so outstanding.
It's not just the writing talent that Wen Ying has demonstrated, but also her calm character in the face of danger, and her care and tolerance for her friends. In Zou Weijun's eyes, Wen Ying really has advantages everywhere!
Chen Ru can still distinguish between false flattery and sincere praise.
It is precisely because she can tell the difference that Chen Ru is in trouble.
As the saying goes, it is hard to hit a smiling person. Chen Ru came to settle the score with Zou Weijun. When her hot-tempered face met Zou Weijun, who was as gentle as a spring breeze, she had no chance to vent her anger.
Chen Ru put aside the polite greetings and asked to meet the person in charge of Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
Zou Weijun smiled and said, "As for me, I used to work in the publishing editorial department, and I'm about to be transferred to the Literature and Art Publishing House. If you want to meet the editor who signed the contract with Wen Ying, it's me. If you want to meet the person in charge of the Literature and Art Publishing House, it's also me."
Chen Ru: “……!”
This somewhat disrupted Chen Ru's thinking.
Zou Weijun was promoted as the person in charge of a publishing house under the group headquarters!
Zou Weijun’s promotion might be due to Wen Ying’s novel!
Without waiting for Chen Ru to question it, Zou Weijun admitted it very frankly and thanked Wen Ying on the spot for making his career possible - what Zou Weijun was actually talking about was not the publication of "Teenage Idol", but the fact that Wen Ying told her "nightmare" on the school playground earlier, which woke Zou Weijun from his confused state.
But Chen Ru didn’t know!
Chen Ru wanted to see the publishing contract more.
Today, Zou Weijun not only brought the original copy of the publishing contract, but also the sales data of "Teenage Idol".
"Since its nationwide simultaneous release on August 1st, 'Teen Idol' has been reporting strong sales. It's certainly the best-selling title in our province. We have real-time provincial sales data available almost every week. Statistics from other provinces are slower, and some data hasn't been transmitted yet. As of yesterday, all we can count is the number of copies of 'Teen Idol' sold nationwide."
This data is generally correct. The actual data is only slightly more than this, and it must have exceeded 170,000 copies.
"The success of 'Teen Idol' is partly due to effective promotion, but the biggest reason is that Wen Ying's book is well written and the market recognizes her talent!"
Zou Weijun did not hide his praise for Wen Ying at all.
Chen Ru is still looking at the publishing contract.
Based on actual sales volume and tiered royalties, according to the contract signed between Wen Ying and the publishing house, if the actual sales volume exceeds 150,000 copies but is less than 200,000 copies, Wen Ying can get 10% royalties.
A book is priced at 32 yuan, with a 10% royalty rate. Wen Ying can already get 540,000 yuan in royalty income?
This amount is too much.
Moreover, it will only be two days before the book is one month old, so 170,000 copies will definitely not be the final sales figure.
Chen Ru had calculated in her mind the royalties that Wen Ying could earn, but she didn't know how to speak the speech she had prepared on the way here.
Although Chen Ru is not a lawyer, she works in a bank after all and has to deal with various contracts every day. Judging from Chen Ru's level, this publishing contract really does not cheat Wen Ying. On the contrary, it is very generous - the publishing house bears all the publicity costs, and the more books are sold, the higher the personal royalty ratio of Wen Ying. This contract is simply too conscientious!
