A young man in his twenties walked in. He looked like a college student. Chu Li looked at Zhu Chuan. Zhu Chuan glanced at the door and said calmly, "When Jiang Yucheng moved next door to my house at the age of six, I had just learned to walk. That was Jiang Yucheng. The one sitting in front of you now is Zhu Chuan, a high school student and genius writer."
Chu Li: "You and Teacher Jiang Yucheng are childhood sweethearts."
Zhao Chuan: "Yeah, I don't know what sin I committed."
Chu Li: "..."
…
After playing this game for more than ten times, Chu Li’s eyes were about to fall out of their sockets. She finally got bored. After she once again randomly guessed that a pretty girl was Teacher Jiang Yucheng in cross-dressing, she finally announced that she would give up the game.
However, at this moment, a tall, handsome, mature man with tan skin and wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt walked in from the door. He was still wearing the disposable slippers in the club room. He stood at the door and looked around. Finally, he stopped at Chu Li and the others.
Chu Li: "..."
Chu Li kicked Zhuochuan under the table reflexively!
Zhao Chuan raised his head with a hiss, and when he looked closely, he found someone standing at the door with his neck stretched out, looking around like a meerkat. He called out "Hey" and waved his hand. When Jiang Yucheng came over, he felt a gust of wind beside him. He turned around and saw the person standing there straight as a stick...
Zhuchuan: “…”
Jiang Yucheng approached, quickly sized up the nervous little girl, and smiled amiably, "Chuli, huh? Zhuchuan just told me about your situation. Sit down and talk."
Chu Li sat down, following the instructions step by step, but his mind was blank, filled with colorful bullet screens quickly passing through his mind -
This is Jiang Yucheng, ah Jiang Yucheng, ah Jiang Yucheng, ah my white lotus, the bright moon in my heart, and the hometown in my dreams!
When I saw him in person, all the remaining resentment suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Yucheng is as gentle and handsome as imagined!
Why didn’t he do book signings in the past? It must be because he was afraid that people would love him more than his books! ! ! ! ! !
Chu Li took a deep breath and tried to sound calm: "Teacher, I came here this time to talk to you about the serialization rights of "The Lost Amusement Park". You previously planned to publish "Moonlight" at the beginning of the volume -"
"…Regarding this matter, I didn't think too much about whether this would cause you any trouble. I just thought that this topic was in line with my style and the topic you wanted at the time, so I sorted it out for you," Jiang Yucheng smiled sincerely, "and then I found out that you had a lot of trouble because of this. I'm sorry for that."
look!
A proper apology!
Teacher Xizi, watch carefully! Learn well!
And, it doesn’t matter. What does it matter? It’s all my fault that I didn’t explain it to you clearly or ask you clearly before I used it. As long as you are willing to sign this book for me now, everything will be fine. There’s no need to say sorry. Maybe I should even say thank you to you! ! ! !
Chu Li was in a brainstorm, but on the surface he was calm and composed. He smiled and nodded, "What does it matter? I am also a fan of the teacher. I have read the teacher's Weibo. There are many people in the comments who are looking forward to seeing the teacher's new work just like me. As long as the teacher is willing to give our Moonlight magazine a chance next time..."
If a book is signed to a magazine for serialization rights, it is actually implicitly signing the publishing rights of the book to the company - and Chu Li guessed it correctly. After the prologue was released yesterday, no less than seven publishing houses and book planning companies of all sizes have come to us seeking cooperation...
Everyone knows that this is Jiang Yucheng's return to the literary world after more than a year. We also know that after so many years, he suddenly wrote a series of articles on "The Disappearing Zoo", one of his representative works, which means that he is not satisfied with the current state of silence and wants to give it another try...
Chu Li stared at Jiang Yucheng nervously, thinking that no matter what he asked, he should agree to it and go back to talk to Yuanyue Society.
However, what she never expected was that Jiang Yucheng said, "If I agree to you, then I want the first print run of Luohe Divine Book to be more than twice the actual first print run when it is finally published."
The old cadre, who was drinking tea and watching the excitement, put his cup on the table with a "Duang" sound and his expression suddenly turned unpleasant: "What did you say?"
The man turned his head and looked at Chu Li again: "Do you dare to say 'yes'?"
Chu Li: "..."
Under the piercing gaze of the opera teacher, Chu Li froze for a second, lowered his head silently and muttered: "If I don't speak, I won't notice me."
Zhuchuan: “…”
Jiang Yucheng: "Otherwise, I really can't find any reason to tempt me to serialize in "Moonlight". You know, the small money from serializing..."
……reason?
Chu Li looked down at her phone subconsciously, but she held back her words - but this small action could not escape Zhu Chuan's eyes, and he knew what she was up to as soon as she did this. With a sneer, the man took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Jiang Yucheng, please open your Weibo and take a look at what the forwarding rate of your new article prologue is after a wave of free advertising in the front of the Yuanyue Society; and compare it with the forwarding rate of your previous whining things..."
Jiang Yucheng picked up his phone and took a look——
Well, not much, just the difference between five digits and three digits.
Many of his followers on Weibo followed him after reading the front matter of Moonlight magazine...
In fact, strictly speaking, "Moonlight" is indeed a good publishing platform. If it is serialized, it means that his new works will have nearly six-digit hard advertising promotion every month for no reason - this is a treatment that he would not get if he signed directly with other publishing houses or companies. After all, "Moonlight" is one of the best-selling magazines. In terms of promotion platform alone, it is indeed better than other options.
Jiang Yucheng was a little hesitant.
On the contrary, Chu Li was relieved at this moment because of the harsh words spoken by Zhuchuan. Everything she wanted to say but was worried about offending Jiang Yucheng was said by Zhuchuan - it seems that Jiang Yucheng is quite moved at the moment... it seems there is hope.
Chu Li stared at Jiang Yucheng until the man raised his head and looked at her, then smiled and said, "If I give it to you, will you promise to treat this article well?"
I can.
I will personally proofread it for you eight times, word by word and sentence by sentence;
I will go over mountains and ridges to find the best and most suitable illustrator;
I would put a knife to Ah Xiang's neck and demand that she put the three words "Jiang Yucheng" in the middle of the cover of Moonlight;
I will fight Lao Miao and Yu Yao for 800 rounds to get you the best remuneration for the serialization period of 1,000 words...
The first ceremony was almost kneeling down to Jiang Yucheng——
Just as the man smiled and took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, put it on the table and pushed it to her.
…
on Monday.
On this day, Yu Yao was the first to come to work.
Because she had to organize the documents before the morning meeting in order to deal with the questions and accusations from her superiors at the Monday meeting: Regarding Jiang Yucheng and the frontispiece plan, she waited for a whole weekend, but Chu Li did not give her an answer as she promised.
To be honest, Yao was a little disappointed, but it was just disappointment.
After all, Chu Li is just a newcomer who has just graduated from college and entered the society. She knows nothing and we can’t expect her to do her best in everything, right?
Besides, when Jiang Yucheng sent the manuscript, she did not carefully consider the source and be more careful, which was her responsibility as the editor-in-chief...
Thinking of this, my heart became quite calm.
Yu Yao came to her desk. Before she bent over to turn on her computer and began to copy the self-review she had made during her weekend break, she saw four things on her desk:
A note that read, "Boss, your phone is out of service due to unpaid bills and I can't contact you."
Round-trip train ticket from City G to City B;
One-night accommodation invoice for a youth hostel near the train station in City B;
And a USB flash drive pressed on top of these two things.
Yu Yao: “?”
Yu Yao glanced at his phone. He really didn't know when it was disconnected from the Internet... He picked up the USB drive and connected it to the computer. He opened it and found that there was nothing in the USB drive except three document manuscripts. The titles were "The Lost Amusement Park 1", "The Lost Amusement Park 2", and "The Lost Amusement Park 3"...
Staring at these documents, Yu Yao was stunned.
At this time, Lao Miao, the second person to arrive at the office, yawned as he walked in. He glanced at Yu Yao, who was staring blankly at his computer, and then glanced at the empty seat next to his own with a monkey pillow on it… He said in a gloating tone, “Boss, are you prepared to be criticized soon… Hey, the person who said he would give us a satisfactory answer hasn’t come yet. Is he hiding from his crime and is too embarrassed to come?”
Yu Yao ignored Lao Miao, because after coming to her senses at this moment, she finally realized the origin of the invoices on the table with the words "I am very poor and need reimbursement" written in capital letters. She smiled -
She actually underestimated Chu Li's perseverance and ability to take action.
At this moment, as if remembering something, Yu Yao raised his head and glanced at Lao Miao again——
Such a child...
In time, how could Lao Miao be her match?
