Wen Ying knew that Manager Chen would definitely talk to her about royalties.
She was a bit dawdling when she got home from school.
Xie Qian felt sorry for her and gave her a strategy: Don’t say what you can’t say, and be frank about what you should be frank about.
Wen Ying humbly asked, "What do you think cannot be said?"
"That's your mother. You know her better than I do. You have to control the degree and rhythm of the conversation yourself."
Chen Ru is a strong and stubborn mother. Xie Qian felt this deeply after dealing with her once.
He felt that the point of conflict between Wen Ying and her mother Chen Ru was not whether Wen Ying earned tens of millions from writing novels, but the fact that Wen Ying had concealed from Chen Ru her investment in Tianjiao, which would make Chen Ru feel that Wen Ying had completely escaped from her parents' control!
Can Chen Ru accept such an outcome?
Definitely not.
A truly open-minded mother will not force her child to study abroad against his or her will.
What Xie Qian really wanted to remind Wen Ying was that once her mother Chen Ru found out about her investment in Tianjiao, Chen Ru would use this to force Wen Ying to give in and agree to study abroad.
Unfortunately, Xie Qian couldn't say it clearly. He had promised not to tell Wen Ying about his private meeting with Chen Ru.
A man without integrity cannot stand, and Xie Qian has always been trustworthy.
He only reminded Wen Ying to "master the rhythm of the conversation": when it is time to admit defeat, do so quickly; when you cannot admit defeat, you must stick to the bottom line.
"you're right……"
She will have to take this blow sooner or later, and Xie Qian can't negotiate with Manager Chen on her behalf, so Wen Ying has to do it herself.
Wen Ying returned home with the mentality that she would be stabbed if she kept her head down.
Everything is peaceful at home.
Her father Wen Dongrong was concentrating on mopping the floor.
In the small area of the living room balcony, Wen Dongrong mopped the area repeatedly, as if he wanted to clean every crack between the bricks.
Is it that so?
Wen Ying was puzzled: "Dad, I remember you didn't have mysophobia before!"
Wen Dongrong laughed, "You don't understand."
This is not called mysophobia, it's called hygiene. After all, this is where you will sleep at night, so you have to clean the floor before laying out the bedding!
Wen Ying really didn't understand.
Middle-aged women experience menopause, and middle-aged men probably have similar problems.
Wen Ying poked her head out and looked around: "Where's my mom? Hasn't she finished get off work yet?"
Wen Dongrong didn't respond and continued to concentrate on cleaning the gaps between the tiles.
Wen Ying originally wanted to find Lao Wen to gather some information, but Lao Wen refused to cooperate, so she had no choice but to do her homework first.
When Wen Ying finished her homework and came out, she found Chen Ru sitting on the sofa in the living room with the TV on. The Chengdu local TV station was rebroadcasting "Star River and You". Chen Ru was staring at the TV with a very focused expression.
Lao Wen was still on the balcony. He opened the window a crack, stretched his hand out of the window to feel for a while, and murmured: "It's a bit cold..."
cold?
well enough.
Wen Ying, who lives in Chengdu, has become accustomed to magical attacks in winter, and now is not the coldest time in Chengdu.
Wen Ying always felt that Old Wen was a little weird today.
Chen Ru suddenly turned around and interrupted Wen Ying's thoughts, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Wen Ying scratched her head. "I don't know how to put it, it's just that list of richest writers in the newspaper..."
Wen Ying was still trying to organize her words when Chen Ru interrupted her: "Are the statistics on this list true? Did you really make 10 million from publishing novels?"
"There's a slight discrepancy. It calculates pre-tax income, and it's based on the number of novels printed. The publisher and I settle based on actual sales, so these aspects aren't entirely accurate. However, my royalties are slightly higher than their figures, so we break even. So there's a slight discrepancy, but it's not a big one!"
Wen Ying thought these were the parts that should be spoken honestly, so she didn't hide anything at all and was very straightforward.
Chen Ru was barely satisfied.
"You spent over a million yuan to buy a house in Shanghai. Even if you have to pay taxes, you still have at least a few million left, right?"
Wen Ying's heart skipped a beat.
There are no millions.
If Editor-in-Chief Bao continues to delay paying the royalties, Wen Ying will hardly have enough money to pay her mortgage.
Wen Ying's current way to make quick money is to write short stories for magazines. The royalties from "Xinghuo" are not managed by Bao Lixin. Wen Ying can be paid for each article she writes. With her current fame, she can get the maximum royalties for contributing to the magazine. If one of her articles is published in a month, she doesn't have to worry about Bao Lixin delaying the payment of royalties.
If Wen Ying could take the risk and contribute to several magazines at the same time, she could live a comfortable life by writing short stories!
Of course, there are still more than a hundred days before the college entrance examination, and Wen Ying does not have the energy to contribute to several magazines at the same time.
Thinking of this, Wen Ying felt a little annoyed with Bao Lixin, and for the first time she thought about leaving Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
Wen Ying's thoughts were as complicated as a galloping wild horse, but she managed to remain calm on the surface: "It's several million."
Chen Ru suddenly asked, "Which bank do you keep your money in?"
Well.
"CCB."
Wen Ying did not lie. The account where she received her manuscript fees and royalties was China Construction Bank.
Chen Ru nodded.
"I've told you before that I'll let you keep your money, whether it's tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. I won't go back on my word. I originally didn't want to control which bank you keep your money in, but our bank recently launched a wealth management product with a good annualized rate of return. I suggest you try buying some of it. Of course, this is just a suggestion from me, and you don't have to follow my advice. But as your money grows, sooner or later you'll have to learn to manage your own finances."
Deposits are the safest and you will not lose your principal.
The safest way can protect the principal but cannot generate more profits.
When the reform and opening up just started, some people thought that being a "ten thousand yuan household" was very impressive. At that time, bank deposit interest rates were very high, and some people with ten thousand yuan households thought they could live on the bank interest. However, it turned out that deposit interest rates could not keep up with inflation, and ten thousand yuan today is not a lot of money at all.
