Chapter 282 Damn it, this is a pirated copy!
As the author of this novel, Shen Xuewei lowered her head and silently defended herself.
...The books she writes aren't trash; they're her money-making treasures.
Of course, she could only say these words to herself.
If she dared to argue in front of Teacher Miao, Teacher Miao would definitely call her into her office and lecture her for hours without stopping.
After I finish scolding her, I'll probably have to call her parents over.
After she signed a contract with the publisher, the novel was finally published and put on the market in July.
It sold extremely well after publication.
According to the publisher's statistics, sales from July to October have reached nearly 900,000 copies, and it may reach one million copies by the end of the year.
Another book, "A Worthy Opponent: The Cunning Young Lady's Exclusive CEO," while not selling as well as this one, has still sold over 500,000 copies.
Both books are priced at 29.8 yuan, with a royalty rate of 10%. After deducting the 10% commission to be paid to Suoai, Shen Xuewei will receive at least four million yuan by the time the payment is settled in January.
In this way, her tens of millions of dollars will soon become a four-figure sum.
Having already amassed a considerable sum of money, Shen Xuewei recently calculated her finances and couldn't resist updating a chapter of "The Record of the Demon King of the World," much to the readers' anger, who both cursed and read it.
The author, who was being urged to update by a group of readers, was sitting hunched over in his seat, not daring to look back at all.
Teacher Miao said angrily, realizing that the classroom was not a good place to educate students.
She suppressed her anger and said, "Wei Yuxiu, come to my office."
Wei Yuxiu gripped the zipper of her school uniform, nodded silently, and followed her to the office.
Before leaving with Wei Yuxiu, Teacher Miao reminded the students in the class to review their lessons carefully.
After the two left one after the other, the classroom remained quiet, and both seemed to be very focused.
However, compared to before, quite a few people have already started to slack off.
As the bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, students from both teaching buildings rushed back to their dormitories.
In the experimental classes on this side of the experimental building, people didn't leave the classroom until several minutes after the bell rang.
Shen Xuewei rubbed her eyes, stood up and stretched, then lightly tapped Ren Qinan's table.
"Sister Ren, let's go back to the dormitory."
Ren Qinan glanced at the few remaining classmates and nodded.
I closed the book in my hand and went downstairs with Shen Xuewei, heading towards the dormitory.
On the way, the two talked, and inevitably Wei Yuxiu was mentioned again.
“Yuxiu’s grades have been declining in recent monthly exams, and her ranking in the grade has dropped from 35th to 67th.”
"If she doesn't get back into the top 50 by the time the midterm exam results come out... she'll be kicked out of the experimental class."
At this point, Shen Xuewei and the other woman exchanged a glance and sighed simultaneously.
Ren Qinan scratched his head, annoyed, and said, "Sigh, I don't understand her. She was fine before, we were even in the same dorm, how come I had no idea when she became obsessed with novels?"
Shen Xuewei recalled the scene she had witnessed a few days ago and thought to herself: Perhaps, her declining grades are not entirely due to the novel.
Back in the dormitory, I saw Wei Yuxiu with the blanket pulled over her head, hiding under the covers.
The others in the dormitory knew she was upset, so they just whispered among themselves and didn't bother her.
The next day, Teacher Miao invited Wei Yuxiu's mother to the school.
The geography class representative took the test papers to the office, and after returning to the classroom, he started discussing them with several close classmates.
"Hey, I was in the office just now, and besides Wei Yuxiu and her mother, there was another person there with Lao Miao. Can you guess who it was?"
"Who could guess that? Just tell us directly, it's so boring to make us guess. Tell us already, stop keeping us in suspense."
"You guys are really... never mind, it's fine if we don't guess."
"I'm telling you, I saw a boy at Lao Miao's place, but he's not from our class."
"From what Lao Miao said, Wei Yuxiu has been getting very close to that boy lately, and it seems like they're in that kind of relationship..."
The people around her immediately erupted in an uproar, "No way, we haven't heard of that before?"
The geography class representative raised her chin. "Anyway, this is what I overheard. Whether it's true or false, you can judge for yourselves. But..."
"The midterm exam results are out, and Wei Yuxiu's score probably won't get her back into the top fifty."
Another girl standing nearby finished speaking for her.
"So, she's transferring to another class?"
The crowd nodded sympathetically.
The school rules are in place, and there will be no exceptions just for her.
The experimental class had a total of forty students. From the first year of high school to the third year, the number of students remained the same, and the faces were also the same.
Everyone thought they could keep going like this until high school graduation, but they never expected that one person would be gone so soon.
Even if their grades decline, as long as they remain in the top 50 of their grade, they will not be kicked out of the experimental class.
Wei Yuxiu's grades had always hovered around 30th or 40th in her grade.
Unexpectedly, in her senior year of high school, her grades plummeted, eventually dropping to the sixties.
As the school bell rang, the test papers for each subject were handed out.
Except for a few people, the rankings of the students in the class remained basically unchanged.
Ren Qinan remains the undisputed number one, while Shen Xuewei remains the ever-present number two.
The third place in the grade was taken over by the original fourth place.
There are more girls than boys in the humanities. The third place was previously a boy, but after the fourth place came in, the top three in the humanities grade are all girls.
And this pattern remained unchanged until the final exams, with the top three students in the grade all being girls.
After class, Shen Xuewei took her test paper to the teacher's office.
As I passed by Teacher Miao's desk, I happened to see the novel that Teacher Miao had confiscated from Wei Yuxiu.
Looking at the few lines of small print on the novel's cover, she suddenly felt something was amiss.
She paused for a moment, flipped through a few pages, and quickly walked away, cursing under her breath.
Damn it, this is a pirated copy!
Almost any book that sells well on the market is likely to be pirated.
She never expected that this pirated book would appear in front of her like this.
After Wei Yuxiu received her midterm exam results, she packed her things, left the experimental class, and transferred to a regular class.
Teacher Miao inquired about the boy class that Wei Yuxiu was close to and specially transferred her to a class far away from that boy class, hoping to keep the two of them at a distance.
Winters without Xu Yue bringing breakfast and hot water are too unbearable.
Shen Xuewei and Xu Yue chatted, complaining about the school cafeteria and water room, which became a recurring topic.
Xu Yue, who lived in a dark and damp basement, burst into laughter when she saw the message from Shen Xuewei.
Bright Moon in the Clouds: Although I can't bring you anything, I have a friend at school. I'll ask him to bring it for you.
Becoming a rich woman as soon as possible: No, that's too much trouble. I don't want to owe anyone favors.
Becoming a rich woman soon: Anyway, it's been so long, I've gotten used to it. Breakfast may be awful, but it won't kill me; hot water may be hard to get, but cold showers are good for my health, making me feel great.
Become a rich woman soon: By the way, how are things on your end? Are you eating on time? Do you have any money left? If you're out of money, remember to tell me, I have money.
Become a rich woman soon: ...I've asked for your card number dozens of times, but you still won't send it to me. Do you think I'm going to eat you up?!
