Chapter 152 Monthly and Semi-monthly Publications
Shen Xuewei is very busy, busy making money, busy studying, busy exercising; every minute is precious.
During this time, she also made sure to argue with Feng Xuemei.
The magazine where Feng Xuemei works is not as large as the magazine where Yun Li works.
She was originally a colleague of Yun Li, and even joined Bieyang Magazine two years earlier than Yun Li, so she was more senior than Yun Li.
Before switching jobs, he had already reached the position of deputy editor-in-chief.
However, the addition of the title "Deputy" makes his status vastly different from that of the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief wasn't much older than her, and no matter how much she coveted the position, it would never become hers.
At this time, Lock Love Magazine extended an olive branch to her. Although she would remain as the deputy editor-in-chief, they promised her that if she performed well, she would become the editor-in-chief within two years.
Despite her reluctance to leave Bieyang Magazine, where she had worked for seven or eight years, Feng Xuemei still came to Suoai Magazine for the sake of her future.
Lock Love Magazine is not as large as Bieyang Magazine, but it is younger and can offer her more and bigger opportunities.
Everyone has witnessed her work ability, and she successfully became the new editor-in-chief after the previous one left.
A new broom sweeps clean, and with so many people watching her as the new editor-in-chief, she's bound to produce results to earn their respect.
However, although the magazine received one or two good submissions during this period.
However, when compared with the one in Shen Xuewei's hand, it always felt not good enough, lacking in many aspects. This was one of the reasons why she kept a close eye on the one in Shen Xuewei's hand, fearing that someone else would snatch it away.
The reason why it has taken so long to reach an agreement is mainly because Shen Xuewei is too greedy.
Feng Xuemei once offered Shen Xuewei a fee of 200 yuan per thousand words, but Shen Xuewei demanded an exorbitant 250 yuan per thousand words.
Not only that, she also wanted to publish it as a book.
Feng Xuemei spent a whole month negotiating with her, and finally the two sides compromised and agreed on a royalty of 230 yuan per thousand words, with Feng promising to help her contact a publisher to publish the book if it did well.
The fee of 230 yuan per thousand words is the highest fee ever paid by Lock Love Magazine, which is not a large magazine.
After sending out the contract, Feng Xuemei sighed heavily.
If this article doesn't become a bestseller as she imagined, and doesn't boost their magazine's reputation, then the chair she's just taken on might not be so stable.
Shen Xuewei sensed her worries from her text and gave her a bad idea.
That is, to have her advertise in the latest issue of Bieyang's novel magazine, and to place the advertisement specifically under Shen Xuewei's novel.
It doesn't need to take up a whole page; just a striking paragraph is enough to draw Shen Xuewei's loyal readers over.
At that time, a single-page advertisement in a novel magazine could cost anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.
It's just a one-sentence ad, not even a full page, Shen Xuewei thinks it shouldn't be too expensive.
Of course, Shen Xuewei wasn't sure if Bieyang would agree to such an obvious traffic-driving advertisement.
Feng Xuemei actually took her suggestion to heart.
She had come from Bieyang Magazine before, and although she had left, her connections remained. She actually went to talk to the people at Bieyang.
Shen Xuewei didn't know how much the advertising fee was.
However, after receiving the magazine from Yun Li and flipping through her latest novel, she smiled when she saw the bolded and large-print line below.
Not only does Feng Xuemei value this, but she also attaches great importance to the market performance of her first domineering CEO novel.
With the arrival of May, various magazines are vying to release their latest issues of magazine novels.
Fiction magazines are published at varying intervals, with monthly and bi-monthly publications being the most common.
Monthly magazines are published once a month, mostly at the beginning of the month, in an effort to capture the readership market as early as possible.
Of course, some companies choose to go public in the middle of the month to avoid the fierce competition at the beginning of the month.
Lock Love Magazine is a monthly publication.
With the arrival of May, many popular magazines and novels on the market are releasing their latest issues.
Love Lock magazine was mixed in with this pile of magazines and looked inconspicuous.
Wu Yuqiu is sixteen years old and a student. In her spare time from her heavy studies, she likes to read novels to relieve stress.
She is a loyal reader of Bie Yang, or more accurately, a loyal reader of Hua Yunbi.
After buying the latest issue of Bieyang Novel, she hid the book in her schoolbag and used her allowance for the day to buy two grilled sausages. She ate them while walking home with a friend who was going the same way.
When she got home, her parents called her to eat.
She finished her meal absentmindedly, washed up, said goodnight to her parents, and then eagerly closed her bedroom door to enjoy her own little world.
She took out Bieyang magazine from her schoolbag, skimmed through the novels, and quickly found the one written by Huayunbi.
The humble yet persistent young man would stand up for the girl when she was in danger, but when she asked his name, he dared not look directly at the girl as bright as the moon and could only leave in a hurry.
He had been protecting the girl for a long time, unaware that in a corner where no one was paying attention, the girl was also silently caring for him.
Despite having made up their minds to stay away, the two found themselves growing closer and closer, gradually becoming dependent on each other and unable to separate.
However, the opposition from their teachers and parents forced them to separate.
In order to be with the girl, the boy tried hard to prove himself, to become better, and to make himself more worthy of the girl.
The girl continued to improve herself, and although many people pursued her, she remained unmoved.
After overcoming numerous difficulties, the boy finally achieved something and was able to stand openly with the girl, no longer the one who could only hide in the shadows and silently watch her.
After reading the finale of "The Moon Enters My Embrace," Wu Yuqiu wiped away tears of joy for the male and female leads as they finally got together.
Immediately afterwards, I noticed the bold and large text in the next line.
"A masterpiece by Hua Yunbi, a noble and aloof CEO falls for love. A brand new story awaits you at Lock Love..."
She immediately perked up. "Hua Yunbi has published a novel in another magazine? And a different genre at that? What is this 'Love Locked'? I've never heard of it before... I have to go and see if it's good. Hua Yunbi's writing can't be bad..."
The next morning, she went out early and went to the newsstand. After searching for a while, she finally found the Lock Love magazine in a corner.
As class was about to start, she gave the money to the shopkeeper and hurriedly ran to school with her books in her arms.
I finally managed to sit down in my seat before the school bell rang.
Her deskmate, glancing at the teacher still lecturing, nudged her and whispered:
"Yuqiu, do you have any other novels here? I can borrow them and return them after class..."
Wu Qiuyu then casually handed her the love lock she had just bought, saying, "Remember to return it to me after class."
Her deskmate gave her an OK sign.
