Chapter 151151

The head teacher could not remember Jiang Xi's name for a moment.

Jiang Bai's student status had been transferred, so his head teacher regularly sent him study materials. Jiang Xi's student status had not been transferred yet. Although she was told that this class would accept her, since her student status had not been transferred, he did not need to send her study materials. As time went by, he had forgotten about the girl who had said that she wanted to transfer to their class.

However, the school director reminded him, "She is in the third year of high school now. If she wants to transfer, she should do it as soon as possible. Although it is okay to transfer before the college entrance examination, there is a difference between adapting to the Shanghai college entrance examination in advance and not adapting to the Shanghai college entrance examination." It

has been too long, and they have only met the girl once. At that time, she transferred to her brother's school. Although her brother only took the Shanghai University of Science and Technology, his college entrance examination score was more than 580 points, which was several points higher than East China University of Science and Technology. If he had not filled in his application form so conservatively, he could have entered a very good university.

I heard that his sister's grades were better than his, and she was the top student in the county. Although they didn't think much of her being the top student in a small county, if the school had one more student who could enter a key university, their high school admission rate would be higher, especially since they were not one of the best key high schools in Shanghai, so they were just average.

It was not possible for transfer students to enter a key high school.

When they remembered this, they called Wucheng No. 1 Middle School. When Jiang Qi left his phone number at Shanghai High School, he left the phone number of Teacher Wang in the English Department Office, so the contact person was Teacher Wang.

At Wucheng No. 1 Middle School, I heard that a high school in Shanghai called Teacher Wang and asked about a student who said that her enrollment was transferred but she didn’t ask when her enrollment would be transferred to their school. The teacher at No. 1 Middle School was surprised and said, “Wait a moment, I’ll call Director Xiao Wang.”

All the teachers at No. 1 Middle School knew Jiang Qing, but not every teacher at No. 1 Middle School knew that Jiang Qing’s enrollment would be transferred to a high school in Shanghai. So they went from the English Department Office to the Academic Affairs Office. The office called Teacher Wang, who was now the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, and said, "Little Director Wang, a high school in Shanghai called you and said that a student wanted to transfer his enrollment and asked when he would be transferred."

Teacher Wang was a little surprised, "Didn't you tell him that Jiang Xi had been admitted to Peking University in advance?"

Teacher Wang was a little confused. Jiang Xi's winning of the gold medal in the IMO competition was reported on the "News Network". There was no reason why the school in Shanghai didn't know about it.

Because Jiang Xi was too famous in Wucheng, Teacher Wang didn't think for a moment that the teachers in the school in Shanghai had forgotten Jiang Xi's name.

After receiving the call, Teacher Wang realized that the high school in Shanghai probably couldn't remember Jiang Gui's name, so he had to tell the school in Shanghai: "This student was admitted to Beijing University in advance. She entered the winter camp last year. Yes, she represented the national team in the IMO and won the gold medal. It was broadcast on the "News Network" two days ago. I don't know if you watched it."

When the principal of the high school in Shanghai saw the name "Jiang Gui" on the local news in Shanghai, he felt familiar with it, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. In fact, he heard too many names of students every year. Except for those who were particularly outstanding, it was difficult for him to remember the name of a student who had not yet transferred to their school.

But he never thought that his high school would miss a seedling from Beijing University.

After hearing what the teacher at Wucheng No. 1 Middle School said, he felt like he had missed out on 100 million.

A prospective Beijing University student who took the initiative to come to their school, a gold medalist in the IMO competition, was actually missed by them. The school director sighed and was heartbroken.

These two students were transferred from small places, or because of the real estate policy of Shanghai, buying a house gives a household registration. The high school they bought the house for was their high school, and their high school had to accept them, so they were passively accepted. Therefore, in the matter of transferring student status, it was always Jiang Xi and his friends who took the initiative, and the school was passive. Every period, Jiang Bai called the Shanghai High School, and the teachers there remembered to send him the information.

The attitude of Shanghai High School towards these two students has always been dispensable and not positive.

This is also very normal.

Even though they knew that Jiang Bai was the top scorer in Wucheng County, they did not care about it. In fact, Wucheng was too small in their eyes. They did not know whether a small top scorer in a county could adapt to the college entrance examination in Shanghai. Therefore, they really did not take it seriously. They sent information to Jiang Bai regularly, but it was only based on the teacher's sense of responsibility for the students of their school.

Who knew that this top scorer in a small county was so amazing. Not only was he admitted to Beijing University in advance in his second year of high school, but he also won the IMO gold medal!

In the afternoon, the Shanghai News was replayed. The principal took several leaders to watch the interview video about IMO again. Although there were more than 30 seconds of content in the news, more than 20 seconds of which were interviews with students from Shanghai Middle School, when Jiang Xi's name appeared, the principal of Shanghai Middle School still clapped his legs and shouted, pointing at Jiang Xi in the last three seconds of the photo and said: "That's her! She is Jiang Xi! I thought the name was familiar at the time, as if I had heard it somewhere, and I didn't think of her at all!" He sighed loudly: "Oh!"

Several other school leaders also said regretfully: "If I had known earlier, I would have let her and her brother transfer their enrollment together."

"Yes, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come to school to attend classes or attends classes in the original school, the enrollment must be transferred first."

"Who wants to know?"

However, this incident also reminded them that there are students who will transfer their enrollment in the future, so they should transfer their enrollment first.

After Teacher Wang hung up the phone, he told Director Wang and the director of the Political Education Department about this matter. Director Wang squeezed his teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "Director Zhang is still foresighted. He said before that if Jiang Yu can be recommended through the competition, then the enrollment quota will be counted in the No. 1 Middle School. This is a Peking University student. Our No. 1 Middle School has produced such a unique Peking University student in many years. Fortunately, he didn't transfer out."

If Director Zhang hadn't talked to Jiang Yu at that time, Jiang Yu might have transferred out, and this Peking University student and the IMO gold medal would have nothing to do with No. 1 Middle School.

Teacher Wang was also drinking tea. He blew the tea foam on it and said comfortably: "Either way, is ginger more spicy than old?" The fact

that Jiang Ning, the first lieutenant general, won the gold medal with a perfect score in the IMO competition was not only surrounded by people on the banner. The school made a circle, and even used large photos on the cover and inside pages of this year's enrollment brochure to focus on publicity. Now, all the middle schools in Wucheng knew about Jiang Ning's international gold medal.

These days, everyone attaches great importance to competition. Even the small mountain villages below know how many gold medals the country has won, where the overall score is, etc. During this time, the whole Wucheng has been discussing this matter.

No. 1 Middle School has become the most popular school in this year's enrollment. The top students from No. 1 Middle School, who used to only consider Wu Middle School but not No. 1 Middle School, have chosen No. 1 Middle School instead of Wu Middle School.

Obviously, there is a student from National Tsing Hua University in Wu Middle School, but it's a pity that their publicity didn't keep up.

In Guangzhou, Wang Yong had just gone to work early in the morning when Director Li Ang called him to his office. The director handed him a copy of the People's Daily and pointed to the photo on it and said, "Look carefully, is this Jiang Xi the Xi Meng we signed a contract with?"

In the entire Wuxia magazine, Wang Yong was the only one who had seen Xi Meng in person, except for Editor-in-Chief Qian of the Shanghai branch. Director Li Ang and his colleagues had only heard of her name but never seen her in person.

Wang Yong was preparing for Jiang Xi's new work "The Commander of the Imperial Guards" during this period. After the completion of "White Snake's Cultivation of Immortality", "The Commander of the Imperial Guards" took over. There was no posting and no updates for a while in the middle. The effect of the follow-up was not as good as that of "White Snake's Cultivation of Immortality". He did not watch CCTV's "News Network" or their provincial TV news programs.

In Guangzhou, because there was also a person from Guangdong Province who entered IMO and won a gold medal this year, the provincial TV station there naturally also interviewed and broadcasted.

For veteran media people like Director Li Ang who are engaged in the media and magazine industry, programs like "News Network" are a must-watch every night if nothing unexpected happens.

Li Ang was also too busy to watch the "News Network" during this period because of the completion of "White Snake" and a lot of things that needed to be reorganized at the magazine. However, he watched the news on their provincial TV station.

Wang Yong has always been in charge of the line of Xing Meng. Li Ang is not familiar with Xing Meng, but he has heard Wang Yong talk about Xing Meng's training in the winter camp and knows that she is participating in the competition. However, because the two are far away from each other, the competition is very unfamiliar to Li Ang, who is of his age. He actually does not have much sense of reality until he heard Jiang Xing's name in the news, saw the photo of Jiang Xing and others at the airport, and saw the gold medals on them. He suddenly realized that the real name of Xing Meng, who signed the contract with their magazine, seems to be Jiang Xing.

Early in the morning, he bought a newspaper, brought it to the office, called Wang Yong up, and pointed it out to Wang Yong.

Wang Yong, who had taken care of Jiang Meng closely in Wucheng for two months, recognized Meng Meng in the photo at a glance, even though he hadn't seen Meng Meng for nearly two years and Meng Meng had changed a lot. He nodded and said, "It's Meng Meng."

He picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

They didn't expect Meng Meng to be so amazing.

Director Li Ang said, "The newspaper said that all the people who went to the IMO competition this time were admitted by Beijing University and Tsinghua University. You call Meng Meng to ask if she was admitted."

In fact, they had already confirmed that Meng Meng was admitted, but they didn't know which school she was admitted to, and they also planned to confirm it in person.

Wang Yong did not hesitate and immediately called the training team where Jiang Xi stayed. The security guard of the training team said that they had all left.

He then quickly called the Shanghai phone number she left.

Not only was Wang Yong there, but Director Li Ang was also there.

Jiang Xi asked him what was going on. Wang Yong asked her if she was the one who won the gold medal in the IMO international competition in the news these two days, and if she had been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University in advance.

Jiang Xi said yes.

Director Li Ang immediately answered the phone and asked her, "Xingmeng, I remember you are only in the second year of high school, and you will be in the third year in the second half of the year, right? Since you have been admitted to Peking University in advance, did you go to Peking University to enroll in September?"

Jiang Xi said, "No, I am only an auditor, and I will not be able to enroll until September 1st next year with the freshmen of the same year."

Director Li Ang said, "Your "White Snake" has been completed. You said before that you wanted to take a break. In addition, considering that you are in the training team and have no time to write, your new work has not been announced. Chuan, now that your competition is over, you have time to write. This is what I am thinking... "Director Li Ang still spoke with some institutional characteristics, "We will save the manuscript first, and wait until August, when you should be able to receive acceptance letters from major universities one after another. We will then fully promote your new work "The Imperial Guards". By then, we will restore the previous price of 21,000 per issue, and use all promotion channels to announce the news of your admission to Peking University. How about it?"

This is actually using the influence of Peking University to promote Jiang Qi's new work.

I have to say that Director Li Ang is worthy of being the founder of "Wu Xia" and a senior media person. Even though he is already fifty years old, his brain's reaction speed is still not comparable to that of a young person like Wang Yong. Yesterday, after seeing the news that Jiang Meng won the IMO gold medal and was admitted in advance, he immediately asked someone to ask about the high school student's admission to a university in advance. Although he has not confirmed it with Meng Meng himself, he already has a way to promote Meng Meng's new work "The Imperial Guard".

It is best to promote it together with the publishing company. Their serialized magazines and physical books have always complemented each other.

Jiang Xi chuckled and asked Director Li Ang, "Director Li, aren't you afraid that my identity will be leaked and someone will poach me?"

Jiang Xi knew that Director Li Ang was very cautious about her real identity. She didn't want anyone to know her real identity, so she always cooperated with the "Martial Arts" magazine. Director Li Ang

said, "Don't you have to wait until next year to officially enroll?" Director Li Ang laughed heartily, "Then who would know that you are actually a freshman in the next class, not this class?"

This is just a smokescreen.

Moreover, when the time comes, the fact that Ximeng's real identity is not a "old policeman in the system" but a young college student admitted to Beijing University this year will inevitably cause discussion among readers on the Internet. Although the Internet in this era is not as developed as in later generations, with the increasing number of Internet cafes, the number of people going online is also showing a spurting growth.

Not only the discussion of age, but also the discussion about "Ximeng's" gender will inevitably overturn the past speculation on the Internet that Ximeng is a "male old policeman in the system" because Ximeng is a freshman, and enter a new round of discussion and speculation.

While they were congratulating "Xing Meng" for being admitted to Kyoto University, they also launched her new work "Kim Eun-seo Commander". In particular, the protagonist of her new work is still from a "female" perspective.

This point seems to be another side proof that "Xing Meng" is a woman.

Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, what Director Li Ang wants is for them to discuss "Xing Meng" so as to bring up the popularity of her new work and then boost the sales of "Wu Xia".

After the completion of "White Snake Cultivation", the first print run of "Wu Xia" is only one million. Because this article has just been completed, there are still a large number of readers who still keep the habit of buying a copy of "Wu Xia" every issue. For example, Wu Gongan and others in Jiang Xi's province do not buy every issue, but directly set a year-round quantity. Each issue of the magazine will be directly delivered to their unit, and they are used to reading every issue.

The article "The Great Song" written by Xi Meng has been studied over and over again by them, and it is almost broken. What's more, they actually got some inspiration from this book and solved two major cases, one of which was a case a few years ago.

They also found inspiration from "The Great Song Dynasty" and became loyal readers of "White Snake Cultivation" with great devotion.

However, there are also a large number of readers who bought a copy of Wuxia after the completion of White Snake's immortal cultivation. After buying two issues, they found no new works. Some readers who were still following the works of other authors in Wuxia continued to buy and follow. However, a large number of female readers who mainly read male perspectives in other magazines have lost interest in Wuxia and have stopped buying it.

This has caused the sales of Wuxia to decrease during this period, and there is a trend of continued decline. This decline is not just a small drop, but a cliff-like drop.

This also shows how big the market of female readers is.

Director Li Ang couldn't wait to release Jiang Meng's new work "The Guards".

Let's not talk about her original male reader market. Anyway, the male reader market of "Wu Xia" is maintained by other serialized works. The huge female reader market brought by Jiang Meng is the source of the juice from the QQ group. More juice sources can be sorted out in the 52nd issue.

Director Li Ang, who already has this huge market, can't give it up at all.

He was in a hurry to call Jiang Meng, and this promotional strategy must first be approved by Jiang Meng herself.

It has to be said that professional matters should be left to professionals.

Jiang Meng herself, all her energy was on the competition before. The competition is over, and now she just wants to buy another suite and then concentrate on writing.

She has bought too many houses, and now the monthly mortgage of over 10,000 yuan is a huge pressure, so she has to keep an income at all times.

The publishing fee is deposited in one lump sum, and in order to pay off the mortgage, it would be better to have a stable income like when she was serializing "Wu Xia".

However, thinking of her friend in her previous life who said that his fee for "Zhi Yin" in 1998 had reached 600 yuan per thousand words, and now it is mid-1997, she couldn't help but ask Director Li Ang: "Director Li, do you think my fee... should it also be increased?"

Director Li Ang was stunned.

Before, the fee for Xi Meng was 280 yuan per thousand words, which was indeed not low, but compared with the huge profits that Xi Meng brought to "Wu Xia", this fee was just a drop in the bucket.

Compared with other writers of Wuxia at the same time, or even with the salary in the market, her royalties are indeed very high, but compared with the amount of profit she personally brings to Wuxia, it is indeed very low.

The first two books they signed with Xi Meng were all single works.

Now that they have seen Xi Meng's great potential, Director Li Ang considered whether he could sign Xi Meng directly.

He asked Wang Yong to go to Shanghai again and have Wang Yong talk to Jiang Xi in person.

At the end of July, Wang Yong came to Shanghai.

The magazine "Martial Arts" now has sufficient funds on its books. Not to mention the huge cash flow brought by the sales of the magazine itself, even if it is a gg on "Martial Arts", although it is not as much as the gg fee on the prime time of the provincial TV satellite channel, the gg fee on "Martial Arts" is still considered a sky-high price among other paper media. "Martial Arts" is very careful about its feathers and rarely accepts messy gg. Its main source of gg is the promotion of film and television dramas.

Especially the martial arts TV dramas in the 1990s, which are themselves a well-flowing type. If a drama is shot in Hong Kong and wants to be broadcast in the mainland, the best way to gg is not to promote it on various variety shows like 20 years later, but to warm up on "Martial Arts" first.

With sufficient funds, Wang Yong did not choose to take the green train this time when he came to Shanghai, but took a plane.

This was Wang Yong's first time to take a plane.

He had not seen Jiang Xi for two years. Even though he had seen her on TV news before, it was only a few seconds. Now seeing this girl who is over 1.65 meters tall, long-legged, slender and strong, with a short ponytail, revealing a full and smooth forehead, full of relaxation, he really couldn't recognize her.

At that time, Jiang Xi was at most as tall as his shoulders, with a mature and childish look. Now she has become a graceful young lady, standing in the crowd, dazzling and eye-catching.

Jiang Xi was much more familiar than him. When she saw him, she was almost enthusiastic with a brilliant smile. She held his hand affectionately, patted his upper arm, and called him "Brother Yong."

Jiang Xi did not let Wang Yong stay in a hotel, but took him to an apartment that she had already delivered and renovated.

Jiang Xi did not decorate this apartment like the first one, but renovated it into two floors, suitable for renting out single rooms.

She took Wang Yong to live in one of the single rooms.

Although it is a single room, Jiang Gui's decoration is not bad. It is based on the decoration style of one bedroom and one bathroom in 20 years. There is a whole wall of cabinets for storage, a dry and wet separated bathroom, a water heater, an air conditioner, and a washing machine. The only difference is that there is no kitchen.

Because the apartment has no natural gas.

Each room is more than 30 square meters. The rooms facing southeast have a whole soundproof glass wall, which is very bright. The rooms with balconies were fully sealed at her request. Manager Qian made bookshelves on the walls on both sides, which can be used as a study or a drying room.

After the house was renovated, it was always ventilated. Jiang Xi took him to live in a one-bedroom, one-bathroom room with a balcony. The original 20-square-meter balcony was divided into two parts with the next room, and this balcony was about 10 square meters.

It was no different from the hotel rooms outside, because no one had lived there before, and it was more urgent.

In the past two years, Wang Yong helped her a lot. Just the clothes that his uncle sent to her regularly, which were of good quality and at a good price, and the shoes that he sent to her from the factory next door, made Jiang Xi earn a lot of money. More importantly, having such a source of income could make his grandfather and second brother feel at ease.

Wang Yong was not surprised that Jiang Xi could buy such a large apartment in Shanghai. In recent years, Jiang Xi has received more than 20,000 yuan in royalties from her "Martial Arts" alone, not to mention her nearly 10 million sales of physical books and film and television copyright fees.

He was surprised that she turned this apartment building into a hotel-style apartment for easy rental.
