Chapter 38 Contracted Publishing House
Since receiving the approval of the Li family, Wang Guizhi has been very happy, and even walks a little lightly.
is different from himself who was disliked everywhere in his previous life, in this life, Wang Guizhi is sure that he can be Li Yongchang's daughter-in-law nine times out of ten, and he doesn't have to have conflicts with his mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
This week, Wang Guizhi plans to go to the school library next door to check materials. When she went out, she was stopped by the doorman's aunt.
"Gui Zhi, here is your letter!" The doorman's aunt has changed from the title of "classmate Wang" to "Gui Zhi", you can imagine how often Wang Guizhi receives letters.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll get it right away!" Wang Guizhi walked into the doorman's office, and the aunt took out the letter to her directly.
This aunt of the doorman, since Principal Zhao praised Wang Guizhi fiercely before, she admired this female student very much. It's only been a few days since school started, and their school is about to produce a big writer!
The doorman aunt is very proud, out of the school of a great writer, it is not an ordinary school, she is also a doorman with a very bright face, chatting with the doorman of the school next door, and even faintly has a sense of superiority.
She saw Wang Guizhi stretching out her hand to take it, and was about to open the envelope, so she leaned in and asked gossipily: "Guizhi, do you have a new book to be published?"
Wang Guizhi couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Auntie, you overestimate me, I'll just write a few short stories, and it's not to the point of publication." ”
"Isn't that different?" said the doorman, puzzled.
This is not to blame the doorman aunt, she is not highly educated, and she can only read and write, and she can't tell what publishing is. For her, when an article can be published in newspapers and magazines, it is publishing.
"Auntie, publishing is a lot of stories, or long stories in a book, and I can publish articles at most. Not to mention, I have to be approached by a publishing house. Wang Guizhi explained to the doorman aunt with a smile.
This aunt of the doorman, I couldn't figure out what publishing meant, but now when I heard Wang Guizhi say "story", "long" and "publishing house", she was even more dizzy, she waved her hand and said: "Oh, I can't tell what is published by the publishing house, and here I am publishing." ”
After speaking, she gave a thumbs up and praised: "Guizhi, you kid, you are really very promising! You study hard every day, and you also publish articles in books, you are a little writer! How are you like some students in our school who eat, drink, and have fun all day long and know how to mess around?"
The doorman aunt has also been working here for a long time, and every time she sees the kind of students who don't learn all day long, she shakes her head. She couldn't understand why she finally came into this school, these students spent their parents' money without feeling distressed at all, and they were getting more and more mixed day by day.
Wang Guizhi smiled and glanced at the opened letter slightly. But after only a few lines, a surprised expression appeared on her face.
"What's going on?" the doorman stretched out her head to see what was written in the letter, "Is there another manuscript fee? How much is it? This time it's two hundred." ”
After reading the letter, Wang Guizhi's hands were trembling, and her words were also a little trembling: "Ah, auntie, I, my book is about to be published!"
And the doorman was still confused: "What? Didn't you publish it earlier?"
It turned out that the publishing house had read what she had written and agreed to sign a contract with her! This meant that Wang Guizhi was really going to become a writer, and her books could be shown to others.
She poured out the envelope, and there were three bright red hundred-dollar bills and one green fifty-dollar bill. That's a total of three hundred and five! That's more than she earned from her previous submissions!
There is also a signed contract in the letter, which also says that the publishing house hopes to cooperate with Wang Guizhi for a long time.
Wang Guizhi was overjoyed, and she told the doorman aunt the news. She weighed the manuscript fee in her hand, looked at the happy look on the face of the doorman, and thought that this aunt usually cares and takes care of herself, so she went to the restaurant and bought her a hearty lunch.
And Principal Zhao happened to be passing by, and when he saw Wang Guizhi's excited appearance, he asked her what had happened. Wang Guizhi told President Zhao about the signing of the contract with the publishing house.
"This is amazing!" Principal Zhao was very excited when he heard this, "I must invite you to dinner this time!"
Principal Zhao's attitude was very resolute, and in desperation, Wang Guizhi had no choice but to go out to dinner with Principal Zhao. During dinner, Wang Guizhi saw the liquor on the table, perhaps because she was even more excited about signing a publishing house today, and she insisted on taking a big sip despite the principal's obstruction.
Wang Guizhi drank a lot of liquor, and when he went back, he was all crooked. She finally returned to the dormitory, and as soon as she got to bed, she immediately fell asleep.
She woke up only to find that Lin Yanmei was the only one in the dormitory.
"Meimei, why are you the only one in the dormitory?" Wang Guizhi's voice was a little hoarse.
"Today is the last day of the year, there are activities in the school, and they have all gone over to play," Lin Yanmei's voice was inexplicably a little annoyed, "Guizhi, I know your family is not very good." But when something happens, you can't hide it, you smell the smell of wine on you!
Her last words were shouted!
Wang Guizhi listened to Lin Yanmei's words, and then found that the towel on her head was wet, and the bed was wet, so she understood that Lin Yanmei had dealt with it.
"Meimei, you misunderstood me," Hearing Lin Yanmei say this, Wang Guizhi couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, "I'm just too excited today." ”
"Hmph, don't try to lie to me, what's so exciting?" Lin Yanmei didn't believe it.
Wang Guizhi saw that Lin Yanmei was busy with herself, and she was embarrassed to hide the secret of her writing anymore: "It's me who is not good, I am not good, I didn't tell you." I used to make a lot of pocket money by writing manuscripts. When I received the letter today, the publisher agreed to sign a contract with me and gave me a lot of manuscript fees! I was dragged to dinner by the principal, and I was so excited that I drank a few sips of liquor and got drunk like this. ”
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"So that's the case," Lin Yanmei realized that she had misunderstood Wang Guizhi, and she was embarrassed, "Actually, I have already guessed what you are writing." I overheard the aunt of the doorman say that you make money by writing manuscripts, and I thought it was the same name and surname. Later, I saw it on "The Story King", and found that the words used to write articles were similar to those you usually use, so I knew that your manuscript was published!"
"But you've been hiding from me for so long, it's too boring, at least invite me to a meal!" Lin Yanmei said angrily.
Wang Guizhi hurriedly agreed: "Okay! I'll invite you to a big dinner tomorrow!"
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and began to laugh.
These two little girls didn't expect that from this moment on, they would become best friends who talked about everything, and they had experienced a lot of things together, and they were in the same boat, and the years made their friendship stronger.
That night, everyone in the dormitory was woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
Hearing the shouting "Happy New Year" outside, Wang Guizhi and Lin Yanmei both tacitly said "Happy New Year" to each other in their hearts.
