Chapter 118 Mom, I pick up garbage to support you 20

Jiang Fanyue didn't know that the editors of the publishing house were so optimistic about her work.

She is very nervous now.

Just yesterday, she received a letter from the publishing house.

In the letter, the editor asked her if she was free to go to the publishing house in the near future. If she was free, she hoped to communicate with her in person about the contract.

For this reason, Jiang Fanyue asked for a day off from school and came to the city with Yao Rong.

Changjin Publishing House is very famous, but the office is not big. It is located in a residential building. When you get closer, you can smell the faint scent of ink in the air, adding a bit of tranquility.

The guard was sitting in the pavilion sorting out letters. When he saw Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue, his eyes automatically fell on Yao Rong: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Yao Rong took a step back, making Jiang Fanyue's figure more conspicuous.

Jiang Fanyue pursed her lips and took out a letter from her bag: "Hello, I received a letter from editor Xiao Jianguo, who invited me to come to the publishing house."

The guard was a little surprised.

But the envelope in Jiang Fanyue's hand was indeed an envelope used exclusively by Changjin Publishing House.

"Then you can go in after registering. Editor Xiao's desk is on the third floor--"

As he was speaking, the security guard glanced and caught a glimpse of the young man jogging downstairs, and raised his voice slightly: "Xiao Lu, there's a little girl here, she said she's here to see Editor Xiao!"

Lu Junhao was going downstairs to throw away the garbage. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at Jiang Fanyue. He seemed to have thought of something, and he came forward with surprise and enthusiasm to the extreme: "Excuse me, are you Teacher Jiang Fanyue?"

Jiang Fanyue was flattered: "You can just call me by my name, or just call me Yueyue."

Lu Junhao also felt that it was a bit strange to call a little girl "teacher", so he followed her words and called her "Yueyue". After Jiang Fanyue finished registering, he took Jiang Fanyue and Yao Rong upstairs.

Xiao Jianguo was writing a manuscript. When he saw Jiang Fanyue, his attitude was not as enthusiastic as Lu Junhao's. It was more like the gentleness and friendliness of an elder to a younger person: "I guessed you were young at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be so young. Are you in junior high school?"

"Just in the first grade."

Jiang Fanyue respected Xiao Jianguo very much.

When she was writing "Wishing Mirror" before, Xiao Jianguo specially wrote a letter to her to guide her and correct many of her small problems.

It can be said that it was because Xiao Jianguo pointed her in a direction that she made such great progress in a short time.

"Children today are really amazing." Xiao Jianguo sighed, asked Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue to sit down, and chatted with them for a while before getting down to business. He asked about the basic situation of "The Dancing Elephant", "How long do you plan to write?"

Jiang Fanyue had thought about this question before coming.

She took out a handwritten outline and handed it to Xiao Jianguo.

"It's hard to say how long it is, but it's definitely not short."

Xiao Jianguo looked at her outline and said in surprise: "Then how many manuscripts can you write in a month? Can you guarantee 20,000 or 30,000 words?"

Jiang Fanyue nodded: "30,000 words a month is no problem."

Xiao Jianguo smiled and introduced his plan to Yao Rong and her daughter.

He wanted to serialize "The Dancing Elephant" without any gaps after "The Wishing Mirror" was finished. Jiang Fanyue would provide the publisher with a manuscript of about 30,000 words at the beginning of each month until it was finished.

Because Jiang Fanyue had already finished "The Wishing Mirror" and could no longer be considered a newcomer, her price per thousand words would be increased from 14 yuan to 18 yuan.

If "The Dancing Elephant" performed well in the future, the price would be adjusted again.

Of course, considering Jiang Fanyue's age, if she encountered any special circumstances in a certain month, she could communicate with the publisher to reduce the 30,000-word volume.

Jiang Fanyue listened carefully and was already slightly moved, but she did not respond immediately, but instead turned her inquiring eyes to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong suggested that she wanted to see the complete agreement first.

After reading the agreement in its entirety, Yao Rong nodded secretly.

Changjin Publishing House was indeed kind. Just as Xiao Jianguo had just said, this agreement not only had no pitfalls, but also appropriately relaxed some requirements in consideration of Jiang Fanyue's age.

Yao Rong said, "I have no objection."

Jiang Fanyue heard Yao Rong's words and said happily, "That's fine with me too."

After the two signed their names, Xiao Jianguo smiled and said, "I still have some work to do, so let Xiao Lu take you around the publishing house. If you have time in the future, Yueyue can come to the publishing house more often to play."

During the visit, the three also met other editors from the publishing house.

After learning about Jiang Fanyue's identity, many editors smiled and said that they were her book fans.

Even though she knew that there were many jokes in this statement, Jiang Fanyue was still very excited.

After touring the publishing house, Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue said goodbye and no longer disturbed Lu Junhao's work.

Lu Junhao gave Jiang Fanyue a few new books as gifts, and also gave Jiang Fanyue all the letters from readers that he had received during this period.

Compared to the last time, Jiang Fanyue received significantly more letters from readers this time.

Jiang Fanyue flipped through them and found Qi Yaning's reply, but not Kuang Zimo's.

After taking some time to deal with the letters, Jiang Fanyue fell into the busy final week.

The final exam papers used by all middle schools in the city are the same. Most of the questions are very basic, but there are also a few questions that increase the difficulty.

Jiang Fanyue's grades were not outstanding before. She was at the middle level in the class, and even less prominent in the whole city. But after working hard this semester, she can basically answer even those more difficult questions.

Soon it was the last day of the finals week.

Early in the morning, the sky outside was covered with frost and snow.

Yao Rong got up early and swept the snow in the yard.

When she came to the kitchen, Yao Rong put the broom by the door and walked into the kitchen near the stove to check the growth of the Gesang flower.

Gesang flowers like sunlight and fear severe cold. In addition, they are annual plants and basically wither in autumn. Few people will plant this flower in winter. In order to let it survive this cold winter, Yao Rong moved it indoors early.

After removing the straw covering it, a green seedling came into Yao Rong's eyes.

This kind of green and bright color is extremely rare in the winter in the north.

Yao Rong carefully covered the straw, ate some breakfast, and went to the factory.

It was not time to start work yet, so the four employees were not seen. Instead, Ruirui's mother came and was sweeping the snow at the door with a broom.

Ruirui's father, who had not been seen for many days, was also there.

Yao Rong greeted Ruirui's father, who had not been seen for a long time,

and said, "Have you finished your driver's license test?" Before the factory was opened, Yao Rong had told Ruirui's father that if Ruirui's father believed her, he would go to take a truck driver's license test, and after passing the driver's license, he would specialize in delivering goods to the Fairy Tale World Factory.

The day after Yao Rong said this, Ruirui's father went to the city to learn how to drive.

Because it is inconvenient to go back and forth, he has stayed in the city for the past few months, doing odd jobs while taking the driver's license test.

Calculating the time, it should be about time.

Sure enough, after hearing Yao Rong's words, Ruirui's father showed some expectation and uneasiness on his face: "Yes... the driver's license came yesterday..."

Yao Rong smiled and nodded: "That's great, I was thinking of going to the city to buy a second-hand truck in two days, and we will go together then. And then the employment contract has been drafted a long time ago, I will take you in for the interview later."

After three or four months of running-in, the factory can start to expand.

Arrange all the staff before the New Year, and start a big business immediately after the New Year.

Ruirui's father and Ruirui's mother looked at each other, their faces full of joy, and thanked Yao Rong repeatedly.

Yao Rong waved his hands and said as a matter of course: "What is there to thank you for? You are the only one in the village who has passed the driving test. Who else can I invite if not you?"

Ruirui's father knew that this was not the case. If Yao Rong hadn't reminded him and asked him to take the driving test early, this opportunity would never have fallen into his hands. So to put it bluntly, Yao Rong was still taking care of him.

On the other hand, Fei Shuyun stayed in bed late and got up late. If her father hadn't dragged her out of bed, she would definitely be late.

Fei Shuyun hurriedly got dressed and was about to go out with her schoolbag on her back when she suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask her father, "Dad, is the third issue of "Fairy Tale Monthly" out today?"

Fei's father replied in the kitchen, "Yes, I put it on the table for you. Read it after you finish your exam."

Fei Shuyun pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence, picked up the newspaper on the table and rushed to school.

When she arrived at the school gate, she bumped into Yao Liangcai.

"Why are you so late today?" Fei Shuyun raised her eyebrows.

Yao Liangcai was panting heavily, too tired to say a word, and just waved the newspaper in his hand.

As soon as she stepped into the classroom, the bell for morning reading rang. Fei Shuyun sat on the chair, looking at the textbook in front of her, then at the newspaper in the drawer. After hesitating for a long time, she quietly took out the newspaper and opened the story "Wishing Mirror".

Yao Liangcai sat diagonally behind Fei Shuyun. Seeing her action,

he also took out the newspaper silently. Zhou Feng, who was sitting in the front row, started reading even earlier.

Reviewing or something, it doesn't matter if you have this morning self-study time.

Instead of thinking about the newspaper when waiting for the exam, it is better to seize the time to finish reading it now.

The story is still a style that makes people laugh and cry. Zhou Feng read for a long time and found that "Wishing Mirror" was actually finished!

What!

The novel was finished after only three issues!

Can't a novel in this story form be extended appropriately? ! !

Zhou Feng was shocked, but he saw that there was another novel below "The Wishing Mirror".

The author of this novel was still Jiang Fanyue.

And the name of the novel was...

"The Dancing Elephant"?

Dust-sealed memories emerged from the deepest part, and all the speculations overlapped and intertwined in an instant. The teasing and ridicule were like invisible slaps, hitting Zhou Feng's face hard.

He stood up suddenly.

The corner of the table made a sharp sound, attracting the attention of the whole class.

Fei Shuyun also saw the preface of "The Dancing Elephant" at this time:

[This article is dedicated to the courageless children in the world, and the adults who were once children. ——Jiang Fanyue】
