Chapter 521 We Don’t Bully Others, and We Can’t Allow Others to Bully Us
"Did you make the deal?" Hong Zicheng looked at Cheng Xuyuan and asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled at Hong Zicheng and said, "Teacher Hong, the way he left, do you think we have reached an agreement?"
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Hong Zicheng's expression change.
In fact, when Sasuke Ichiro left just now, he had a bad feeling.
The reason why he asked the three words "deal done" was that he was really looking forward to making the deal happen from the bottom of his heart.
But Cheng Xuyuan's words gave him a firm response, that is, he was overthinking.
The deal was not concluded! Hong Zicheng hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
"The reason is very simple. This editor from Yihe Publishing House wants to get something for nothing and treat me like a fool. Naturally, I cannot agree to his contract."
Cheng Xuyuan said calmly: "There is no shortage of publishers for my works."
"Even if this one doesn't work, there will be other publishers."
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's confident words, Hong Zicheng sighed and said, "Xuyuan, from what you said, that Zuo Chengyilang is indeed not a good partner."
"But if your work can be published there, it's actually a victory."
"After all, your works will let more readers know us."
"If you do this, people will..."
Hong Zicheng did not say what happened to him, but Cheng Xuyuan understood what Hong Zicheng meant.
However, even though he understood the situation, Cheng Xuyuan was unwilling to be seen as a sucker in the eyes of some people.
He smiled and said, "Teacher Hong, if there is a decision from above regarding this cooperation, I will resolutely obey it."
"But if you let me talk about it myself, then that's all I can say."
Looking at the confident Cheng Xuyuan, Hong Zicheng wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it.
At this point, there was no point in him saying anything, because he was not the one who could ultimately decide the outcome of the matter.
So he sighed and said, "Xuyuan, let's talk about this later."
"Let's go take a break first."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Hong Zicheng and smiled, "Teacher Hong, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. The sky won't fall."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan comforting himself, Hong Zicheng was speechless.
But in the end, he just sighed and said no more.
After returning to school, Cheng Xuyuan had just sat down in Professor Li's office and had not had time to get some water when Fang Yuqing quickly came over and asked, "Did you make the deal?"
"No, the talks didn't go well." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "The people from Yihe Publishing House only wanted to take advantage, so I had no choice but to refuse the cooperation with them this time."
When Fang Yuqing heard Cheng Xuyuan say that he refused this cooperation, her expression suddenly became serious.
Influenced by everything at home, and the fact that Fang Yuqing herself was extremely intelligent, when she heard Cheng Xuyuan's words, she immediately thought of the consequences of this matter.
"Xuyuan, I think we should try to salvage this matter."
"Although the conditions of that publishing house are a bit harsh, the fact that your work can be published and distributed there has extraordinary significance in itself."
"There are some things we should consider comprehensively."
Looking at Fang Yuqing who looked serious, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Yuqing, I know everything you said."
"Don't worry, there is more than one publishing house in Xiaorizi. Even if we fail to reach an agreement with Yihe Publishing House, there are still other publishing houses."
"What's more, if Yihe Publishing House wants to make more money, it should think of mutual benefit and win-win results."
"Instead of trying to take advantage of everything like we are doing now."
Fang Yuqing looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who was smiling confidently, and sighed, "Xuyuan, although your judgment is good, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about this matter and say that you are not considering the overall situation."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing's frown and knew what she was worried about.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on with this matter."
Fang Yuqing didn't let go of her worries because of Cheng Xuyuan's words, but she didn't say anything else. She sighed and said, "I hope everything is as you expected."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The news that Cheng Xuyuan refused to cooperate with Yihe Publishing House spread within half a day.
Some people who heard about this were worried about Cheng Xuyuan, while others were sarcastic and felt that Cheng Xuyuan was making things difficult for himself.
However, most of these people are outsiders.
Li Yufei is also very concerned about this matter.
Although she knew in her heart that there was no hope for her and Cheng Xuyuan, she still didn't want anything to happen to Cheng Xuyuan.
She still hopes that Cheng Xuyuan can live a good life.
However, although she cared about him, she couldn't find Cheng Xuyuan in school and could only hear some news from hearsay. So, she, who seldom went home on weekdays, came home early after class that afternoon.
At home, my mother was cooking, while my second sister-in-law, Zhao Li, was reading a book.
Li Yufei and Zhao Li have a good relationship. Seeing her second sister-in-law was reading very attentively, she quietly walked over and wanted to see what she was reading.
The book was wrapped in a book cover with "Les Miserables" written on it.
Seeing the name on the book cover, Li Yufei smiled gently and wondered when her second sister-in-law started reading famous books.
But the moment she looked at the opening pages of the book, she immediately understood.
On the page of the book she was turning, she saw a sentence that she was very familiar with: ... I couldn't help but sigh again. What if the convoy was really stopped by me? ...
Li Yufei knew very well what these contents were.
No wonder the schoolbag has a book cover? So that's how it is! Seeing Li Yufei with a strange look on her face, Zhao Li also understood what was going on.
She bowed to Li Yufei, and then said in a deep voice: "Yufei, this book is really well written, and I don't dare to read it in front of my parents..."
Zhao Li didn't say the rest, but Li Yufei understood it in her heart.
While she was feeling the influence of Cheng Xuyuan's book, she said to Zhao Li, "Sister-in-law, I actually like this book very much, too."
"If you want to see it, just take it out and see it. My dad and mom won't say anything."
Zhao Li nodded and said, "Yufei, I know our parents' personalities. They won't care about this kind of thing."
"But I still won't cause trouble for them."
Li Yufei smiled and stopped talking.
It was at this time that people who went to work started to come back, and the last one to come back was Shen Yunliang.
As he promoted the introduction of Mr. Cha's works, his work took a step forward and he became busier than ever before.
"Dad, why did you come back so early today?" Shen Yulin asked with a smile as he poured a glass of water for Shen Yunliang.
Shen Yunliang said: "There is less work at work today, so I came back early."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yushu and said, "Yushu, come here. I want to ask you something."
In the past six months, Shen Yushu has performed well at work and his superiors value him very much. They have given him more responsibilities and now he seems very stable.
Hearing Shen Yunliang's words, he came to Shen Yunliang with a smile and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"
"Let me ask you, do you have any comment on Cheng Xuyuan's refusal to cooperate with Yihe Publishing House?" When talking to his son, Shen Yunliang did not beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Shen Yushu hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, we don't have any explanation here."
"But my colleagues have talked a lot about this matter."
"Many people say that Cheng Xuyuan is a bit too proud of himself and dares to act recklessly in any matter. I'm afraid he will be taught a lesson."
When the two people were talking, Shen Yulin and Li Yufei tilted their ears and listened carefully.
After hearing their brother's words, both of them looked serious.
Both of them have very special feelings towards Cheng Xuyuan.
Although they didn't want to see Cheng Xuyuan being successful, they also didn't want to see Cheng Xuyuan being in trouble.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan is Xiao Anan's father.
Shen Yunliang hesitated for a moment and said, "Is there no other explanation?"
"Dad, there are also a few people who speak up for Cheng Xuyuan and think that the publishing cooperation is something that both of us are willing to do."
"Cheng Xuyuan doesn't want to, that's his freedom."
Shen Yushu paused and said, "However, this statement was opposed by everyone, who believed that this was not Cheng Xuyuan's own business."
"Some even say that Cheng Xuyuan is losing the big picture for the small."
At this point, he asked Shen Yunliang, "Dad, what should we do about this?"
Shen Yunliang glanced at Shen Yushu and said, "Just don't talk about this matter or express your opinion."
"As for how to solve it, the higher-ups will make their own decisions."
Shen Yushu nodded. His father's answer was almost what he thought.
"Dad, is Cheng... Cheng Xuyuan in big trouble this time?" Shen Yulin asked bravely.
Shen Yunliang sighed and said, "This is the first time many people have encountered this, so there is no conclusion yet."
"However, Cheng Xuyuan is not an ordinary person. No matter who it is, they should consider him in this matter."
At this point, Shen Yunliang looked towards Li Yufei and said, "Yufei, if any of your classmates talk about Cheng Xuyuan, just listen and don't say anything more."
"We have a special relationship with Cheng Xuyuan, so don't let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of it."
When Li Yufei heard the words "unusual relationship", her heart trembled.
She instinctively thought that the secret between her and Shen Yulin had been discovered by others, but then she realized that her father was talking about the divorce between Shen Yumo and Cheng Xuyuan.
So she took a breath and said, "Dad, I know, don't worry."
Shen Yunliang sighed and said, "Some things should not be calculated too much, otherwise, it is easy to lose the big picture because of the small details."
Shen Yunliang didn't mention anyone when he said this, but Shen Yulin knew very well that he was talking about Cheng Xuyuan.
Shen Yulin agreed a little with what his father said, but more than that, he disagreed.
Why should we let those guys who are obviously cheating people make money for nothing?
