Chapter 74: Selling the Last Two Manuscripts
From the third day of the 6th Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the 10th Lunar New Year, Chen Wen wrote unhurriedly and completed all of "She Slept with Me on the Eve of Going Abroad", which is the same as "Actual Record", which is also a total of 10 stories, divided into two volumes.
The first storyline, which fits the title of the book, is about the love experience of a male and female college students, who work together to study in the United States, and finally the girl gets a visa and the boy is unfortunately denied a visa.
On the night of the day the girl received her visa, the girl offered her blood to the boy. After the girl went abroad, she chose to marry a local in order to stay in the United States, and her relationship with her domestic boyfriend naturally broke up.
The second story is more bloody, about a female teacher at a university in Shanghai, who went on a blind date to fulfill her dream of going abroad, and the other party was an old Chinese man with a U.S. green card.
Under the unequal personality treatment, this female teacher was toyed with. In the end, the blind date failed as planned, and the old Chinese man with a U.S. green card continued to meet a Chinese woman who dreamed of staying in the United States.
The third story is more sighing, about a left-behind woman, she is a 27-year-old white-collar beauty, and her husband went to the United States to study two years ago. During the stay-at-home period, the female white-collar worker was tricked into sleeping by her boss, and since then, the female white-collar worker has been slept with by her boss many times in the case of half-push and half-push.
In the end, the female white-collar worker got rid of the entanglement of her boss and went to the United States to meet her husband, but the psychological shadow led to the emotional breakdown between herself and her husband, and then divorced.
"Going Abroad", like the previous two novels, is written explicitly and heartily, and it is simply the seventy-two changes of Monkey King. The first time I read it, it makes people have a strong physiological reaction.
But reading it a few more times can make people feel pity for the characters in the book, feel sorry for their choices, and sigh at what happened to them and how they ended.
Every time Chen Wen finished writing a story, he gave it to Su Qianqian for appreciation. Without exception, every story made Su Qianqian sigh. There are a few stories in which Su Qianqian even cried with sadness.
Su Qianqian said, Chen Wen, why do you write them so miserable. Chen Wen said that there are many worse things that are not suitable for writing.
Su Qianqian said, is this world really so gloomy? Chen Wen said, I'm just writing novels to make money, put those gray things together to make a collection, this world is actually quite beautiful and sunny, and I will take you to many places in the world to experience the beautiful life of sunshine in the future.
On the night of the seventh day of the 10th, before going to bed, Su Qianqian took the initiative to hug Chen Wen and hugged her tightly, she felt that she had embraced a sunny and beautiful life. Chen Wen kissed Su Qianqian's forehead and left the room.
Chen Wen felt that the relationship between himself and Su Qianqian was becoming more and more harmonious and tacit. Although there is no sudden last line of defense, living with Su Qianqian every day, reading and chatting together every night, makes him feel extremely happy.
---------------------------------
Tuesday, February 11, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Chen Wen called Boss Wang, a book printing workshop, saying that he had finished writing two more novels, a total of four volumes, and asked Boss Wang if he was interested in buying the manuscript. Boss Wang asked Chen Wen to come over immediately.
Chen Wen came to the workshop with the manuscript.
Boss Wang took the manuscript and opened the "Actual Record: Volume I", and was quickly attracted by the battle scenes inside. It took more than an hour for Boss Wang to roughly browse through the four volumes.
"Oh, brother, this is so beautifully written! and foreigners!" Boss Wang smiled from ear to ear.
"Boss Wang, you can do it if you think it's good. Chen Wen said lightly.
"You don't know, 'Miss Su's masterpiece' is very popular now. These books must be selling well. Boss Wang said.
Chen Wen nodded.
"Still. Boss Wang's words changed, "We haven't started to do the previous volumes of "President" here, and I'm afraid we will have to wait for a while to do these new books." ”
"Boss Wang, do you mean not to buy these four manuscripts for the time being?" asked Chen Wen.
"These four manuscripts, even if I buy them now, will have to press them for a long time. Besides, I don't have that much cash now, and recently for the Chinese New Year, I have been on vacation and there is no running water. Boss Wang said.
"Then I won't bother Boss Wang. Chen Wen took back the manuscript and prepared to leave.
"Wait, brother. Boss Wang hurriedly said. "It's not that I don't want to buy your manuscript, I still have to rely on you for my future masterpieces of 'Miss Su'. ”
Chen Wen sat down again.
"I don't have much cash here, maybe 12,000 yuan, if you agree, take the money now. Or after a while, when all the books of "The President" are up and running, I will buy these four manuscripts. Boss Wang said.
Chen Wen understood that Boss Wang was bargaining.
In the previous "President" series, the price of the fourth volume rose to 4,500, and at this price, it would cost Boss Wang 18,000 to buy today's four manuscripts. Just now, he made a big circle and bargained for 12,000.
Chen Wen thought to himself, he didn't plan to write this kind of little emperor uncle in the future, as long as he could make a fortune, 12,000 was also acceptable.
Thinking about this, Chen Wen said: "Okay, Boss Wang, just listen to you, ten thousand or two." ”
"Brother is a happy person, wait a minute, I'll give you the money!" Boss Wang was very happy, returned to the workshop, returned in a moment, and handed over 12,000 yuan in cash to Chen Wen.
Chen Wen finished counting, 120 blue version of 100 yuan bills.
Of these twelve thousand yuan, Chen Wen does not plan to divide it equally with Su Kangkang. I have a lot of things to do, and I have to travel from city to city, so I need to set aside enough funds.
The previous 2,000 yuan of activity funds were spent more than 200 on these days during the Chinese New Year, and Chen Wen now has 13,007 yuan in cash.
---------------------------------
Chen Wen plans to take Su Qianqian and Su Kangkang to Zhouzhuang for a few days in the next few days, and return to Hongcheng after the Lantern Festival.
Chen Wen thought about it for a while, and he promised Xu Meiyun to see her, and he should fulfill his promise. On the last day of the subscription warrant sale on January 28, Xu Meiyun did not go to work, and Chen Wen failed to see this beauty at ICBC.
Chen Wen felt that except for today, he would not have time to visit Xu Meiyun before leaving. Now that I have a lot of money in my pocket, I just went to invite Xu Meiyun to have a good meal.
Thinking of this, Chen Wen rushed to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
