On Monday, Jiang Cong arrived at school on time and as soon as he entered the office, Teacher Nie asked him to go to the principal's office together.

When we arrived at the office, everyone was already there, including the dean of studies, and two math teachers from the second and third grades, the two teachers whose students had won places.

As soon as Jiang Cong came in, the principal praised him a lot.

"Teacher Jiang, you have brought honor to our school. You won two places in one go. Congratulations!"

"It's because the children are smart and work hard. It has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Cong did not take credit for it.

"Hey, that's not right. No matter how smart the students are, they still need guidance from you as a teacher. If the students can develop the right attitude towards learning, it means the teacher has done a good job. You and Teacher Nie have done a great job!"

The principal spoke Mandarin with an accent from some unknown place, which sounded quite funny.

"This is the red envelope that the school prepared for you meritorious teachers. The amount is not large, it is a kind of encouragement and support!"

The principal took out the red envelope that belonged to Jiang Cong and gave it to him.

Jiang Cong saw that other teachers had done the same, so he took it over without hesitation.

"Thank you, Principal!" Jiang Cong thanked.

"We have all seen your performance. You are a very responsible teacher. After you finish teaching this class of students, I may consider letting you teach a class of students alone as a homeroom teacher. What do you think?"

Jiang Cong was able to organize students to stay after class voluntarily, and the students had very good opinions about Teacher Jiang.

The principal also believes that young people should be given more opportunities to gain experience.

It's been less than a year now, and he thinks so highly of Jiang Cong, which shows that Jiang Cong's abilities are indeed outstanding.

"Thank you for your training, Principal!"

There are still two years left, so now is not the time to consider this, but the salary of being a class teacher will be higher, so he is willing to give it a try.

He likes teaching and passing on knowledge to more children.

There was thirty yuan in the red envelope, which was no small amount. Jiang Cong thought that he was taking advantage of the students, so he spent six yuan to buy a lot of food, such as fruit candies and other snacks for kids of that era, for everyone to share.

He set a good example, and the other two award-winning teachers followed suit, and the bond between teachers and students became even stronger.

Jiang Cong gave the remaining money to Qin Man. Except for his own living expenses, all the money was handed over to his wife.

Qin Man expressed her admiration for his act of buying food for the students. Her man was indeed a role model for others.

At the end of May, the publishing house called and told Jiang Cong that all 5,000 books had been printed and would be distributed to major bookstores across the city.

After waiting for a month to see the results, he will be able to get his first payment of royalties around the beginning of July, but only a part of it.

There will be a distribution every two months until all 5,000 copies are sold out. We will then see the distribution results within three months.

Then gradually promote it to other cities and regions. A good work can benefit you for a lifetime.

Jiang Cong thought about it and realized that Chinese Valentine's Day was just one month away. If he received a payment for his writings in early July, he should be able to buy Qin Man a decent gift.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cong couldn't help but feel a little excited. In their fifth year together, he had never given her anything nice.

In early June, Jiang Cong's "Records of Otherworldly Gods" was released and began to be available in major bookstores.

The first batch of 2,000 copies was launched in this city as a trial, priced at three yuan per copy, with a total profit of!

On Saturday, Qin Man and Jiang Cong went to a large bookstore nearby to see if anyone read the book written by Jiang Cong and how the sales were.

There are five bookstores in the city, and each store has invested 400 books.

In the 1980s, bookstores had a counter separating customers from bookshelves, so people who wanted to read books could only buy them when they went to the bookstore, and could not just hold a book and read it, which meant they could not get it for free.

Besides, you can’t finish a book in one day or a few hours! If you want to continue reading, you have to buy it.

However, the city is a big city, and there will be unsealed books on the counter for customers to try out, and those who like the book will buy one.

Actually, the free borrowing of books in bookstores was introduced from abroad. There is a foreign bookstore that not only allows free browsing, but also provides small beds for overnight stays, which is very thoughtful.

But in this day and age, when some people cannot even afford to go to school, it is another matter to understand how precious knowledge is.

People who don’t buy books in bookstores have unlimited desire for knowledge. Reading can broaden our horizons, enrich our hearts, and see the world.

Jiang Cong asked the bookstore manager which shelf his book was on.

The administrator pointed casually and said:

"Over there on the third floor!"

The bookshelf is in a relatively conspicuous position, thanks to the publishing house signed by Jiang Cong. They have good relationships with major bookstores, and each publication can occupy a good position.

There are many people who come here specifically for this kind of novel. When Jiang Cong walked over, there were two young boys who were reading Jiang Cong's book.

There are only two unsealed copies, both of which have been taken. It seems to be quite attractive.
