Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui left the office, and Bao Lixin's suppressed roar could be heard behind them.
Bao Lixin went crazy.
Yuan Fenghui pointed to his head and said, "There's something wrong with him."
Wen Ying chuckled, "Perhaps it's his smooth work history that has given Editor-in-Chief Bao such extraordinary confidence."
The confident Bao Lixin felt that everything would develop as he expected, and he could manipulate the author at will.
Wen Ying suspected that Bao Lixin's long resume was a bit exaggerated. He had never successfully created a best-selling author on Wen Ying's level, and he was confident that he could use his past methods on Wen Ying. Little did he know that a best-selling author of Wen Ying's caliber could easily break Bao Lixin's so-called rules - why bother competing with someone like Bao Lixin? Neither Wen Ying nor Yuan Fenghui chose to waste their time with such a person.
The time of both of them is precious!
The only person Wen Ying is worried about is Xiao Niu. If she wants to cooperate with another publishing house, she has to give an explanation to Xiao Niu!
"Do you think Editor-in-Chief Ni doesn't know?"
Yuan Fenghui chuckled. "You trust Editor Ni, and Editor Ni understands you. Small Chengdu can't hold you back. Sooner or later, you'll reach a bigger stage. Farewell will always come. True friends won't let their emotions bind each other. True friends will support and bless you."
Earlier at Yuan Fenghui's house, Yuan Fenghui said that she would help Wen Ying find a more suitable publishing house as soon as possible.
Xiao Niu, Song Foxiang and Editor Wan decided to work together to bring down Bao Lixin so that Wen Ying could continue to cooperate with Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
The two sides agreed to proceed with the two lines simultaneously, and the plan of whichever one made progress first would be implemented.
Yuan Fenghui obviously has the advantage in this agreement. Too many publishing houses want to poach Wen Ying, and there must be one that can offer conditions that satisfy Yuan Fenghui!
Sure enough, after Yuan Fenghui found a suitable publishing house, Bao Lixin was still the editor-in-chief. Yuan Fenghui won the two-line plan, and Wen Ying signed the termination documents.
But Wen Ying has not yet signed the new publishing contract for "Xun Yong", and she needs to say goodbye to Xiao Niu.
"Teacher Yuan, you also said that true friends won't use emotions to bind each other. I have my own choices, and I accept that Xiao Niu has different opinions."
Wen Ying waited until the afternoon before she saw the little salamander again.
Xiao Niu exposed the scandal of the Literature and Art Publishing House, reported Bao Lixin's violations at work by real name, and forced away the publishing house's most profitable best-selling author. Bao Lixin was so upset that he wanted to tear Xiao Niu into pieces.
Of course, the leaders above were reluctant to let Wen Ying go and expressed their desire to talk to Wen Ying, but they were stopped by Yuan Fenghui in her capacity as an agent.
Wen Ying stood up when she saw Xiao Niu walk into the office.
"Little salamander..."
Xiao Niu took the initiative to hug Wen Ying, interrupted her, and asked with a smile: "Which publishing house did Director Yuan choose for you to cooperate with?"
"Modu Literature and Art Publishing House."
Xiao Niu was very satisfied with this answer. "This is a very good publishing house. You will be going to Shanghai to attend university in six months. Director Yuan is sincerely planning for you. By the way, what are the conditions offered by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House?"
Xiao Niu was very calm and composed, but Wen Ying felt a little embarrassed. "The royalties are still 15%, the first print run is 600,000 copies, and the price is 36 yuan. They are willing to advance 5 million yuan in royalties."
The first print run is 600,000 copies, priced at 36 yuan, with a royalty of 15%.
Normally, Wen Ying can get royalties of 3.24 million before tax from the publishing house.
Modu Literature and Art Publishing House is willing to pay an advance of 5 million, which means that the publishing house is very optimistic about the sales of "Xun Yong" and believes that "Xun Yong" will be at least a million-level bestseller.
This is also normal.
Look at the two books Wen Ying has already published, from "Teenage Idol" to "Galaxy and You", and their sales results are there.
Unless "Xun Yong" is written particularly badly, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House will make a profit.
The conditions offered by the Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House were very generous, but Xiao Niu was not so excited as to shout.
The publishing contract that ordinary young authors envy to death just happens to match Wen Ying's status. The fact that Modu Literature and Art Publishing House can stand out from a group of competitors is probably more because of its geographical advantage, or the publishing house and Yuan Fenghui have other agreements. Xiao Niu did not ask further.
"You deserve a publishing deal like this."
There was light in Xiao Niu's eyes. "You are so talented. Your energy and time should not be wasted on garbage. Changing yourself to cater to others is a compromise that ordinary people need. You should always stick to being yourself!"
Xiao Niu not only supports Wen Ying in terminating the contract and changing publishing houses, but even encourages Wen Ying to do so. If Wen Ying and Modu Literature and Art Publishing House have disagreements one day, there is no need to indulge each other.
As long as Wen Ying can maintain her current creative passion and quality, the initiative to select a publishing house will always be in Wen Ying's hands!
Xiao Niu was truly Wen Ying's most loyal fan. Wen Ying, moved by his sentiment, couldn't help but feel cheerful. "It doesn't matter which publishing house you work for. I just can't bear to leave you. I know you and Aunt Zou founded Spark. Now that Aunt Zou has resigned and returned to Beijing, there's no way you'll give up Spark and leave Chengdu..."
Wen Ying thought about inviting Xiao Niu to develop in Shanghai together, but considering the reality, she finally gave up the idea.
Xiao Niu's feelings for "Xinghuo" are deeper than Wen Ying's.
Zou Weijun is gone, and Xiao Niu feels that he has the responsibility to protect "Spark".
Moreover, Xiao Niu already has ties in Rongcheng.
Wen Ying cannot ask Xiao Niu to give up "Spark" just because of her own selfishness, give up the sweetness of working together with her boyfriend Zheng Zhihe, and run to the Magic City alone to start working hard again!
Xiao Niu blinked. "You're right. I won't give up Spark and leave. I don't think you need to either. Unless Director Yuan not only negotiates a publishing contract for Xun Yong for you, but also grants exclusive rights to all your short and medium-length works to other magazines... then I can still ask you to write for me as the editor-in-chief of Spark, right?"
