Chapter 82 The Substituted Contract



Pei Tiantian frowned.

It would be fine if she didn't know about this, but now that she knew, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Editor-in-Chief Xing was able to support his work despite so many protests, allowing his work to continue to be published in the magazine.

Then no matter what, she had to do something to repay him.

As long as the copyright has not been sold, everything can be salvaged.

In this way, Xing Weigang would not have to fight for his rights for more than ten years, only to end up in vain.

But how should I tell Editor-in-Chief Xing?

Pei Tiantian pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She took out the manuscript she was about to send out and quickly added some content to it.

Then, as usual, I handed this month's manuscript to my uncles and asked them to send it to the magazine.

By the way, I also asked them to buy Xing Weigang's personal works from the bookstore.

Pei Zhiwen and Pei Zhiqiang quickly brought back Xing Weigang's works.

Xing Weigang has published three books so far, the other two are short stories, and the only novel is "Jinghong".

After Pei Tiantian got the book, she finished reading all three works by Xing Weigang.

Xing Weigang's works are mainly local literature and documentary literature. The deep meaning implied behind the novels makes people feel emotional and unable to calm down for a long time.

After Pei Tiantian finished reading the book, she suddenly felt a little inferior.

Compared with Xing Weigang's works, her novels are so superficial, they are indeed fast food literature.

However, Editor-in-Chief Xing not only did not discriminate against his novels, but was very supportive. This also shows that he has a broad literary mind and is willing to embrace all literary themes.

Not as dull and conservative as some traditional writers.

I think this is probably one of the reasons why Xing Weigang was able to become the editor-in-chief of "Story Collection" in his thirties.

After Pei Tiantian sent out the manuscript, it soon arrived at the magazine.

When Xing Weigang was reviewing all the manuscripts that were to be published in next month's publication, he naturally saw Pei Tiantian's new manuscript.

Xing Weigang picked up the manuscript and read it quickly. He couldn't help laughing.

I don’t know who this anonymous person is, but he has such a wild imagination.

It's always a surprise for him.

But when he was about to put down the manuscript, he suddenly realized something.

He opened the manuscript again and finally found a plot in it.

This article reveals another alias of the heroine: a genius writer.

It mentioned that a leading film and television company in the industry planned to purchase the copyright of the heroine's novel. Thinking that the heroine knew nothing, they planned to tamper with the contract to defraud the copyright, but were slapped in the face after being discovered by the heroine.

When Xing Weigang saw this, he unconsciously remembered the novel copyright sales contract he had obtained from a company two days ago.

His wife had been diagnosed with a strange disease half a year ago and had not been cured in the hospital, so he had spent almost all of his savings. He was already extremely strapped for cash when he suddenly received a letter from this company, saying that they wanted to purchase the copyright of his novel for five years for 100,000 yuan.

Xing Weigang has put a lot of effort into the novel "Jinghong". He is reluctant to sell it from the bottom of his heart, but 100,000 yuan can solve his urgent need.

So he finally agreed.

Xing Weigang took out a file bag from the drawer. He opened the sealed file bag and took out the contract inside.

His name has been signed in the signature column on the last page of the contract.

Xing Weigang has been running between the magazine and the hospital for the past six months and has been very busy.

After a few months, I lost a lot of weight.

Therefore, he authorized his lawyer classmate Jiang Qi to negotiate with the company for the signing of this contract.

Although he had read the contents of the contract before, influenced by the plot of Pei Tiantian's novel, Xing Weigang unconsciously opened the terms written on the front of the contract again and read it carefully.

Suddenly, the word "buyout" written in the most inconspicuous corner at the bottom of the document caught his attention.

Xing Weigang's pupils shrank.

Even if he didn't understand the law, he knew what buyout meant.

This means that after the copyright of his novel "Jinghong" is sold, it has nothing to do with him anymore.

There was a hint of astonishment in Xing Weigang's eyes.

Because this version of the contract was obviously different from the contract that Jiang Qi showed him at the beginning.

He hadn't even noticed before that the contract had been swapped.

Xing Weigang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

He almost sent the document package out.

Fortunately, fortunately he just took it out and took a look.

Xing Weigang quickly calmed down. He immediately realized that his old classmate Jiang Qi must have colluded with the company in private in order to take away the permanent copyright of his book.

Xing Weigang was extremely angry. He quickly tore the contract into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

His eyes unconsciously stayed on the anonymous manuscript, and Xing Weigang felt an inexplicable sense of wonder.

How could it be such a coincidence?

The events in the novel coincided with his real life.

Is he overthinking it?

Xing Weigang found the address left by the anonymous person.

"Huangsha Village..."

Xing Weigang's eyes darkened and he murmured.

He suddenly had an urge to meet the anonymous writer in person.

Pei Tiantian didn’t know what happened to Xing Weigang, she was just betting that Xing Weigang could find the connection.

At the same time, the Pei family also completed the admission procedures for her and Gu Rong.

Tao Jing also bought a new backpack for herself and Gu Rong in the city, both of which were cartoon-themed bags.

Gu Rong’s bag is slightly bigger, with a white background and Astro Boy painted on it.

Pei Tiantian’s backpack is smaller, similar to the small floral bag she usually carries, with a red background and a pattern of Sailor Moon on it.

Pei Tiantian touched the Sailor Moon painted on her schoolbag, and then looked at Astro Boy painted on Gu Rong's schoolbag.

I sigh silently, what tears of an era.

She raised her little face and said to Tao Jing: "Thank you, godmother! The schoolbag is so beautiful! Tiantian likes it very much!"

Even Gu Rong, who was usually as calm as a little adult, had a gleam in his eyes when he looked at the schoolbag.

"Brother Gu Rong, do you really like Astro Boy?"

Pei Tiantian asked when she saw Gu Rong also holding his small schoolbag tightly.

After hearing what Pei Tiantian said, Gu Rong shook his head.

He had heard of this anime character and had seen trading cards and comic books of this kind for sale outside the school gate before, but he didn't have the spare money to buy them.

So as for Astro Boy, he had no idea what it was about, let alone liking it.

He was just happy that he had a schoolbag of his own.

When he went to school, he used Gu Yang's worn-out canvas bag to carry his books. Every time on the way to school, the strap of the bag would always fall off.
