Chapter 43: Dreams Come True

After a few days of absence, Scarlett lazily leaned on Lin Weidong's arms, looked up at the stars in the sky, and sighed softly: "The night sky is so beautiful tonight......"

Lin Weidong couldn't help but raise his head, accompanied by unknown insects, admiring the bright and pure night.

Soon after Scarlett took a shower, her hair was still a little wet, and the air had the faint scent of shampoo and the unique scent of Scarlett.

Smelling the faint fragrance on Scarlett's body, and the inexplicable feelings rippling on his body, Lin Weidong opened his mouth and asked, "Scarlett, shall we find a time to sleep in the hotel outside?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to do anything bad, I just want to sleep in the same bed with you, without any distractions, and I will never do anything to you. ”

Wang Sijia knew the meaning of the song when she heard it, of course she could hear Lin Weidong's rhetoric, but she still pretended to be ignorant, and asked knowingly: "Why do you have to sleep in the same bed?"

Lin Weidong paused and said seriously: "Do you remember the TV series "The Legend of the New Year's Lady"? The theme song "Crossing Love" has a lyric that impresses me very deeply. ”

People like Wang Sijia's generation must have watched "The Legend of the New White Lady" when they were young, so they asked with interest: "Which lyrics?"

Lin Weidong muttered: "Ten years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can be slept together." ”

Without waiting for Wang Sijia to answer, Lin Weidong continued: "So I'm always thinking, if the two of us can sleep in the same bed in this life, does it mean that we have cultivated a hundred years of fate in our previous life?"

"Scarlett, don't think I'm lying to you, what I said is really from my heart, I admit that I do want to sleep with you, but I just sleep with you........."

Although she knew that Lin Weidong had other plans, Scarlett saw that he was sincere, and her heart was inevitably a little touched, she held Lin Weidong's hand tightly, leaned her face on his broad shoulder, and whispered shyly: "What if...... If you really want to...... Maybe...... I'll promise you...... However, it depends on how well you perform......"

Lin Weidong was overjoyed and said, "How do you want me to behave?"

Scarlett buried her face in Lin Weidong's arms and said shyly, "I don't know, you think for yourself." ”

Lin Weidong nodded understandingly, paused, and then said, "By the way, Scarlett, I'm going to Shanghai next month." ”

Hearing this, she raised her head and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing in Shanghai?"

Lin Weidong said with a straight face: "Do you remember what I mentioned to you under the banyan tree? The editor-in-chief under the banyan tree invited me to participate in the first online article original competition, and I want to go." ”

Wang Sijiacai said: "Although there is a chance to earn money by writing novels, it is worth the loss if you delay your studies because of participating in competitions. ”

In fact, Wang Sijia is worried, and it is normal for people to be worried, after all, in these years, not everyone can become a writer, and it is even rarer to be able to support themselves through writing.

In order to take care of Lin Weidong's face and emotions, Scarlett tried his best to slow down his tone and said, "My dear, if you want to be a people's teacher in the future, you must study hard." ”

"Moreover, there is no conflict between writing and being a teacher, and when you get your teaching certificate, you will have time to create. ”

Lin Weidong swore and said: "Don't worry, I won't affect my studies, I have my own measure." ”

Scarlett nodded and said, "What I'm talking about is just a proposal, and it's up to you to decide." ”

In order to allow "e-Net Love" to be published in traditional Chinese on Baodao as soon as possible, in the next two days, Lin Weidong would go to the Red Ant Internet Café every night to revise the novel wholeheartedly according to the requirements of Xinchang Publishing House.

However, the strictness of Baodao Xinchang Publishing House completely exceeded Lin Weidong's expectations.

After the third revision of "e-Net Love", the other party quickly gave a fourth round of opinions and asked Lin Weidong to continue to revise.

What Lin Weidong didn't expect was that the fourth and fifth times followed......

"I'm sorry, I really don't want to change it anymore. ”

When Lin Weidong said this to the editor of Xinchang Publishing House on the phone, he was really about to hold on.

In the past few days, he has even been in a trance for revision, attending classes in the classroom during the day, going on a date with Scarlett at night, and after the date, he has to make time to go to the Red Ant Internet Café to revise the novel all night, and he is busy almost all the time.

Now I can't stay up all night, and before one o'clock in the morning every day, Lin Weidong must have fallen asleep on the cash register.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that when I was dating Wang Sijia, while chatting, Lin Weidong actually fell asleep in the chair and snored.

"Weidong, I have never objected to you writing novels, this is your hobby, but you can't affect your health because of writing novels!"

"Look at how tired you are now, you can even doze off on a date with me......"

Scarlett's worried words and her worried eyes prompted Lin Weidong to make up his mind and make this call to the editor of Xinchang Publishing House.

He was a little unwilling in his heart, after all, he had revised it so many times and paid so much hard work, and he would inevitably have regrets if he gave up like this.

The editor's response, however, was simple: "Oh, okay then. ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Weidong had a feeling of loss, but he was also a little relaxed, and finally he didn't have to continue to change.

If you just write the stories you want to write every day, it is actually a very happy thing for a person who loves writing, but repeating and revising every day is really torture for Lin Weidong.

However, Lin Weidong thought about it, but he still didn't want to give up halfway, so he called Mr. Lan, the owner of Xinchang Publishing House, to ask for his opinion, and by the way, asked him if there was really no hope for the publication.

"Lone Orange, that's right, we have carefully studied your book, you have revised it well, we have already begun to prepare for publication, I will tell you now, the remuneration of our publishing house. ”

Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment, the good news came a little too suddenly, so that he couldn't react for a while.

"Oh, well, you say. Lin Weidong hurriedly responded.

Mr. Lan on the other end of the phone said: "Because it is the first time for you to publish with us, I can only give you the price of a newcomer, and our newcomer price is floating, generally between three thousand yuan and four thousand yuan." ”

"We have comprehensively evaluated and think that your book has great potential, so we decided to give you the highest price for a newcomer, which is 4,000 yuan for a book, can you accept it?"

"Accept, accept!"

For Lin Weidong now, it doesn't matter how much money the novel can sell, the most important thing is to satisfy his desire to publish, which can be regarded as the end of his heart, so he almost agreed without hesitation.

What's more, Xinchang Publishing House is not only willing to help publish, but also willing to spend 4,000 yuan to buy the traditional Chinese copyright, Lin Weidong has no reason to refuse.

Mr. Lan said: "Okay, that's it, I'll ask the editor to send you the contract later, you tell me an account, and the manuscript fee can be sent to you now." ”

"Can you pay for the manuscript if you haven't published it or signed a contract?" asked Lin Weidong incredulously.

Mr. Lan smiled and said: "Yes, this is the principle of our Xinchang work, we decide to cooperate with whichever author, we will believe him, and we also hope that in this way, we will lay a foundation of trust for our next cooperation." ”

"You may not know that our Hsin Cheong Publishing House is the largest publishing house in Taiwan's book rental market, publishing thousands of books every year, so you don't need to worry about the manuscript fee at all. ”

"That's how the manuscript fee is paid, as long as we verbally agree on the cooperation, we don't need to wait for the publication, and we don't need to sign a contract, and we will pay you the manuscript fee immediately. ”

"Mr. Lan, thank you, thank you so much!" At this moment, Lin Weidong only felt that he was stunned by the sudden huge sense of happiness.

ps. Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you all good health and family happiness in the new year.
