"Am I really going to be a writer?"

After hanging up Mr. Lan's phone, Lin Weidong's head was still a little trance, and he felt that everything was so illusory.

In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Weidong went to the bank and found that there was an extra 4,000 yuan in the account, so he was sure that Mr. Lan was telling the truth.

As the saying goes, money is a person's courage, looking at the sudden extra 4,000 yuan on the account, Lin Weidong felt that his waist was much straighter in an instant, and even his walking posture became elegant and rich.

You must know that at the end of the nineties, 4,000 yuan was not a small amount, and with this 4,000 yuan manuscript fee, Lin Weidong now wants to take Wang Sijia what to eat and buy for her, as long as it is not too expensive, he will hardly hesitate because of the price.

On the other hand, Lin Weidong also knows very well that he has no gas on the treasure island, and he is not qualified to bargain with the publishing house for his first work, and it is already very good to get a manuscript fee of 4,000 yuan at one time.

Moreover, the novel "e-Net Love" was just Lin Weidong's test of the waters at the beginning, and he had the luxury of publishing simplified Chinese in the mainland, but he did not expect it to be published in traditional Chinese on Treasure Island.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Lin Weidong printed out the electronic document of the contract issued to him by Xinchang Publishing House at the typing and copying agency outside the school that night, and signed his pen name and real name.

Early the next morning, Lin Weidong ate a soy milk fritters in the dining hall, then went to the local post office and sent the contract.

According to the editor of Xinchang Publishing House, they will arrange the publishing house of "e-Net Love" as soon as possible after receiving the contract, and the initial plan is to print 10,000 copies for the first time, and send a sample book to Lin Weidong before the traditional physical book is launched.

For these, Lin Weidong is looking forward to it.

Whether it is the follow-up royalties of "e-Net Love", or a sample book sent to him.

However, after the contract was sent, there was nothing to do with Lin Weidong, not only did he not have to run an Internet café all night every night, but he also had more free time with Wang Sijia Qingqing and me, and the rest was to wait for news from the publishing house.

On Thursday, just after the end of the first class in the afternoon, Chen Liling, the secretary of the Youth League branch, took a thick registered letter from a drawer and walked to Lin Weidong's seat.

"Weidong! ”

When Chen Liling smiled and handed the thick registered letter to Lin Weidong, Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment, and then said thank you.

Seeing that the registered letter was written with the address on the treasure island, Lin Weidong's heartbeat suddenly increased a lot, and he had vaguely guessed in his heart that nine times out of ten it was the contract and sample book sent by Xinchang Publishing House.

After handing over the registered letter to Lin Weidong, Chen Liling asked casually: "Weidong, are you doing pen pals with Taiwanese compatriots?"

The Taiwan address on the envelope is very conspicuous, and the letter was taken by Chen Liling, the secretary of the Youth League, so naturally she had already noticed the address on the envelope, and she was inevitably curious.

Looking at Chen Liling, who was dressed conservatively and looked beautiful, Lin Weidong suddenly remembered that he had dated her for a period of time when he was interning in a rural elementary school in his previous life.

However, Lin Weidong and Chen Liling have not been together for a long time, only three or two months, at most it can be regarded as a dewy relationship between male and female classmates, far less impressive than the relationship with Wu Shan.

If Chen Liling hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him this time, after so many years, Lin Weidong would probably have forgotten about her a long time ago.

However, when the dusty memories came to his mind again, what came to Lin Weidong's mind was the picture of carrying her beautiful legs on her shoulders and sweating on the simple wooden bed in the staff dormitory in the hot summer of that year......

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong couldn't help but shudder, smiled at her and shook his head: "No, what age is it, who still has a pen pal?"

"Then ...... your letter" Chen Liling said halfway through her words, and then didn't ask any more, after all, it involves personal privacy.

Lin Weidong didn't hide it, and told her directly: "This registered letter was sent to me by a publishing house in Taiwan. ”

"Taiwan Publishing House?" Chen Liling looked at Lin Weidong with a stunned expression.

Lin Weidong smiled and nodded: "Yes, the novel I wrote was published in Taiwan." ”

Before Chen Liling could open her mouth to express her admiration and surprise, Lin Weidong smiled and made a "shhh" gesture at her.

Chen Liling saw that Lin Weidong didn't mean anything further, so she smiled knowingly and nodded, and left.

After Chen Liling left, Lin Weidong originally wanted to open the envelope immediately and look at the contract and the first sample book inside.

But at this time, there were other students in the classroom, and Lin Weidong didn't want the news of his own novel to spread and affect his current peaceful life, so he pressed the eagerness in his heart and put the thick registered letter into his drawer.

And Chen Liling, the secretary of the Youth League, Lin Weidong understands her personality and looks at her again, there should be no problem.

Even if Chen Liling really spread the word about this, Lin Weidong would definitely not blame her, after all, she was a woman who lived in her previous life, and he would not be angry with her for this little thing.

However, because of this registered letter, Chen Lili was more curious about Lin Weidong.

finally stayed up until the end of the second class in the afternoon, Lin Weidong ruthlessly left Wang Taoxin and went to the school's self-study room alone.

Lin Weidong will tell Wang Taoxin about the publication of "e-Net Love" in Taiwan, but now he just wants to enjoy this happiness quietly alone.

Since it was not a weekend, there were not many people in the study hall, only a few students were reading, and the atmosphere was quiet.

Lin Weidong walked lightly to the corner by the window at the back of the study room, and after sitting down at the last table, he tore open the envelope with a smile and took out the contents of the envelope little by little.

As Lin Weidong expected, what was sent inside was indeed a contract sent back by Xinchang Publishing House, and a sample book of "e-Net Love".

On the contract sent back, the name of the editor-in-chief of Xinchang Publishing House has been signed and the official seal of Xinchang Publishing House has been stamped.

After Lin Weidong casually glanced at it, he put the contract aside, and then the whole person's attention shifted to the sample book.

I have to admit that the sample book production of "e-Net Love" is indeed very exquisite, and it can be seen from here that Xinchang Publishing House is dedicated to publishing books.

Moreover, the cover paper is very thick, and the cover is in a comic style with blue tones, and a thin and tall teenager sits in front of a computer, followed by a slender and beautiful girl.

e network affection, four purple and red characters, printed on the far right of the cover, under these four words, there are also a few small characters written - night lonely orange.

It is worth mentioning that these texts are all printed in traditional characters.

The first time Lin Weidong saw the traditional Chinese books published in Taiwan in reality, he inevitably felt novel, this is still a book written by himself, and the satisfaction and happiness he gets from it are difficult to explain clearly in one or two sentences.

ps. Happy New Year to all of you on the first day of the Lunar New Year!
