Chapter 163: Ugly Face

Li Yiru's status in the entire family has been visibly improved.

"What does the eldest nephew like to eat, the uncle will cook it himself today. ”

"Yiru, give, eat oranges!"

"Our unit issued a shopping coupon, Li Yiru took it and used it, I don't have anything to buy recently. ”

......

The whole family basically revolves around Li Yiru, first, because Li Yiru came from the capital and is both a relative and a guest. Second, Li Yiru is also a celebrity, and he is still very popular.

The uncle asked: "This "Boya Cup", how many places can you get taken care of in the college entrance examination?"

Li Yiru: "As long as you win the award, you can be taken care of by the college entrance examination policy of Fudan University." "Boya Cup" has 1 special prize, 2 first prizes, 6 second prizes, 10 third prizes, and 20 winning prizes. ”

Uncle said happily: "Among the 100 contestants, a total of 39 people can win the award, then the probability is too high, you are sure to go to Fudan University." ”

"It's also unstable, my grades have been hovering around 10 points below the key line, and under the premise of winning the award, as long as I pass the key line, I can be unconditionally admitted to Fudan University. However, I still have to work this important line. ”

The family knew Li Yiru's shortcomings, so my aunt was particularly disappointed and said: "If you don't pass the key line, then what are you going to do?"

"Then I'll go to Sichuan University, and Sichuan University said that as long as I pass the undergraduate line, it will ask me. ”

Uncle said: "Sichuan University is also very good, 211 and 985 are first-class, and they are also good schools! ”

Li Yiru smiled, he really doesn't have to worry about going to school now, if he can't get into Fudan, he will go to Sichuan University, in short, he chooses between famous schools.

Of course, Sichuan University is not as good as Fudan University, but it is also very good.

Li Yiru has no special obsession with prestigious universities, of course he wants to go to a better university, but even if he can't pass the exam, it doesn't matter. After all, an associate professor has long passed the period of advocating prestigious schools when he was a student.

There is a slogan: I am proud of the school today, and the school will be proud of me tomorrow.

Li Yiru has entered the second spiritual level, no matter where he is examined, he will bring shocks to the school.

After Li Yiru finished eating, he decided to go to the bookstore to read books, and his ambitions should be high, but he can't accumulate steps to reach thousands of miles, and his own efforts are necessary.

Just as he got up to say goodbye, the old man suddenly said, "Why are you leaving so soon? I still have something to discuss with you." ”

Li Yiru was stunned: "Huh?"

"That's right, I have a college classmate who is now the deputy editor of Shanghai United Publishing House, and he is interested in publishing a book for you. ”

Li Yiru pointed at himself: "Me?!"

"Yes, you!"

Shen Zhilei planned to publish a book for him before, and he was very surprised at the time, but he knew that for example, the "New Concept Essay Competition", which is very influential in China, would indeed be targeted by many publishing houses, and then they would lock students, package and promote them, and distribute works for them.

In fact, this is the operation of capital, where there are interests, there is capital.

A few years ago, when the "New Concept Essay Contest" was popular, many students who participated in the competition published their own books, which is a very ridiculous thing.

A very small child, no matter how high the level of writing can be? A very small number of phenomenal geniuses are really rare, but in those years, the works of various students have emerged one after another.

In fact, most publishing houses still value interests, just like a few years ago, there was a peasant female poet, objectively speaking, Ma Jian's writing is better than her.

It's just that she has a lot of points that are easy to promote, both inspirational and sympathetic, otherwise how could she become popular?

If a college student in the national literature department takes out a single one, it will not be worse than her.

These publishing houses, Li Yiru didn't expect that he would also become a money printing machine in their eyes.

Li Yiru wanted to refuse, but he still gave his uncle a face. He and the publisher made an appointment to meet tonight.

In the evening, in the box of a teahouse, Li Yiru met the deputy editor-in-chief of Shanghai United Publishing House, as well as a beautiful female editor.

"Hello Editor-in-Chief Lin, who is this?"

"Hello Mr. Li, this is Wu Xue, a particularly talented newcomer in our club. ”

Li Yiru is well-known for his simplicity, and he really didn't think much about it.

After the two sides sat down, they naturally first shouted and asked for warmth, you praised him for the fame of the publishing house, and he praised you for the level of Chinese studies, which is rare in China.

In short, business blows to each other, and both sides don't take it seriously.

Editor-in-chief Lin is a chubby middle-aged man, I feel that he is very weak and weak, but this person is really powerful, there is one thing to say, he is indeed a particularly good editor-in-chief, with strong business ability, and he is also very talented, he is a top student who graduated from the Department of Literature of Beijing University.

Talent and conduct are really not proportional, many people think that students from prestigious schools should be, but in fact, high-IQ crimes abound.

Of course, Editor-in-Chief Lin is not a criminal, but he is definitely an old fritter.

Wu Xue poured tea for the two of them on the side, but Li Yiru was very embarrassed, he didn't like to drink it!

He doesn't like to drink tea, but he doesn't enjoy it, he is not old-fashioned, and he can't learn the ancients to taste tea because he loves ancient poetry and Chinese culture.

He always felt that this was not as enjoyable as a cold Pepsi, or a rock sugar pear, no matter how bad it was, drinking mineral water would be enough.

The tea is very delicious, this Li Yiru admitted, but Li Yiru likes the feeling of taking a bottle of water and drinking it all when he is thirsty.

Li Yiru is a scholar who is not like a scholar, but because of this, many people do not think that Li Yiru is fake.

Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Lin's ingenious arrangement this time was messed up.

Editor-in-chief Lin, a greasy old man who is nearly 40 years old, keenly discovered that Li Yiru didn't like to drink tea, and seemed to be a little resistant, and he couldn't let his sincerity go down the drain.

So, he didn't persuade Li Yiru to drink tea, but only introduced the history of this teahouse and how difficult it was to book a private room.

All in all, it shows how much thought he has put into the place of this meeting.

Li Yiru understands that he can not drink it, but he must appreciate it!

Editor-in-Chief Lin said: "Teacher Li-"

Li Yiru interrupted again: "Don't call me teacher anymore! You and my uncle are friends, and you are also the editor-in-chief, you call me teacher, I can't afford it in any way! You still call me Yiru!"

Editor-in-Chief Lin said: "Okay, Yiru, I-"

"Huh!"

Editor-in-Chief Lin: "......"

Wu Xue: "Poof!"

Li Yiru hurriedly said: "You go on." ”

Editor-in-Chief Lin: "Xiao Li has already told you, we are going to publish a book for you, that is, to sort out your daily work, and then edit it into a book and publish it." ”

Li Yiru smiled, he didn't talk nonsense, took out his mobile phone and forwarded all the previous essays to Editor-in-Chief Lin, he said: "You and Sister Wu Xue will take a look first, and then make a new decision after reading it." ”

Editor-in-chief Lin shared the composition with Wu Xue again, and the two of them lowered their heads and read it carefully, Li Yiru could see from their lowered cheeks that the smile was gradually disappearing, and the brows were getting tighter and tighter......

Li Yiru said in his heart: Now I see if you still can't beat meism, if this essay appears in the bestseller book in the bookstore, see if you can hit the face of the publishing house!

20 minutes later, Editor-in-Chief Lin silently put down his phone, and a professional smirk appeared on his face again: "I think it's good." ”

Li Yiru: "???"

Wu Xue hadn't finished reading it all, but she also raised her head and said, "I think it's done!"

Li Yiru: "Huh?"

"But, frankly, there are some areas that need to be polished by the editors. ”

Editor-in-chief Lin said very implicitly, but Li Yiru had been in contact with the publishing industry in his previous life, in fact, this is a tactful way of ghostwriting.

He bluntly said, "You mean, ghostwriting?"

"Haha, it's rare to live so transparently at such a young age. In fact, ghostwriting is very normal in this industry, even if it is Master Jin, there is also a place for ghostwriting!"

Li Yiru's face darkened in an instant, and he felt that this elegant tea room was full of the smell of capitalist copper!

If it weren't for my uncle's friend, he might have turned around and left.

Making money is understandable, everyone wants to make more money, but at least the moral bottom line must be kept, and the ghostwriting is something Li Yiru can't tolerate.

At this time, Zhou Nannan, who was beside him, suddenly covered his mobile phone and silently retreated.

Li Yiru maintained basic politeness and said: "Editor-in-chief Lin, I will definitely publish a book, but if a book is published, every word in it will be coded out by me seriously! This is my most basic respect for readers." ”

Editor-in-Chief Lin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Haha, sure enough, it's really like Xiao Lizi, his nephew, is really upright." We really didn't misunderstand you, and with a little temptation, we can see a person's temperament.

Don't worry, we will publish a book for you, and naturally we will keep your original flavor. Your assignment, we'll keep it as it is!"

Li Yiru is also an old fox, he thinks that Editor-in-Chief Lin should be the next best thing, seeing that his attitude is resolute, he just takes the opportunity to play.

Shanghai Hezhong Publishing House is a small publishing house, and it has no bottom line, Li Yiru has no interest in talking about it at all.

Especially his daily compositions, if they are really published, he will be ashamed! The publishing house is shameless, he has to ask for it!

So let Editor-in-Chief Lin talk about it, Li Yiru just maintained enough restraint.

Soon, Zhou Nannan, who had just gone out not long ago, returned to the box, she said: "Yiru, other dinners are urging us, it's not good if we don't go, people say we don't go, people will send a car to pick us up!"

Li Yiru was stunned, got up and said, "Manager Lin, this publication matter is not something that can be decided in a short period of time, let's talk about it in detail another day." ”

Editor-in-Chief Lin: "Thisβ€”"

Li Yiru said again: "You have also seen that there is indeed something wrong with me." Let's talk another day, talk another day. ”

Li Yiru hurriedly got up and left, and followed Zhou Nannan to leave the box quickly.

Downstairs, Li Yiru whispered: "You are really clever! If it weren't for you, I would really not be able to get out!"

Zhou Nannan said with a smile: "Then look, don't I just eat this bowl of rice! If I don't know the level of my eyebrows, how can I let you willingly give me a salary increase when you are old!"

Li Yiru glanced at her, this girl, she is Qu Cai as an assistant for herself!

She was very observant of her words, and in the scene just now, she made up a lie, left the multiple-choice questions to herself, and said that talking about publishing was a serious matter, and it was okay if she didn't go to dinner there, and there was nothing wrong. He, Li Yiru, is completely free to advance and retreat.

And just saying this sentence is also beautiful, she may be joking, or she may remind the boss to give a salary increase in the future, this ambiguous joke, the scale is just right, and it is not embarrassing.

This girl is indeed a talent, and Mama Li's vision is really good.

As for the salary increase, everyone wants to earn more, this is a reasonable demand, go to work, make money to support the family, and the same is true for women, Zhou Nannan is not one of those girls who worship Li Yiru after all.

The salary will not rise, Li Yiru did not think of raising Zhou Nannan's salary, but everything will be reflected in the year-end bonus.

Zhou Nannan also plays the role of half an agent, not to mention, although she has never been a professional agent, she handles affairs quite well.

Li Yiru is very satisfied with Zhou Nannan's assistant.

As soon as the two walked to the door, they saw four men and women discussing anxiously at the door, and when they saw Li Yiru, they immediately waved to Li Yiru with a smile on their faces.

"Hello Mr. Li, we are from Fanglin Publishing House!"

"Mr. Li, why did I call you and it shows that the phone is turned off, your uncle said that you have this number!"

"Get in the car, let's talk in detail. ”

......

Li Yiru glanced at Zhou Nannan, what is the situation? Why is there really a car to pick it up?

Zhou Nannan was also puzzled, how did he do it, how could he say anything with his own mouth!

At this time, Editor-in-Chief Lin, who hurriedly followed, saw that Li Yiru was sitting in the car, and he hurriedly said: "Teacher Li, drink less and pay attention to your body!"

Li Yiru waved his hand: "Don't worry, they are all friends, and they won't fight for wine." ”

The car drove away, and Editor-in-Chief Lin said in surprise: "What kind of friend does this have to be, so that I can drive to pick it up in person! I also want to have such a friend!"

Wu Xue, who had just finished paying the bill, also nodded and said: "Indeed, everyone wants to have such a particular friend." With that, she took the editor-in-chief's arm.

......

Li Yiru followed the group into the car in a daze, fortunately it is a harmonious society now, otherwise Li Yiru was honestly worried about being kidnapped.

As soon as the car drove out a few dozen meters, a young man in the car said: "Mr. Li, don't cooperate with this publishing house, this publishing house has a very bad reputation in the industry, and it is also a very small publishing house." ”

Editor-in-chief Wang glared: "Shut up! Don't evaluate your peers!"

Li Yiru only now roughly understands what happened.

My uncle is the leader of the Copyright Bureau, so I know a lot of people from the publishing house, tonight, Fang Lin Publishing House contacted my uncle again, when they knew that Li Yiru had gone to the teahouse, they were very flustered, but Li Yiru's phone could not get through, in a hurry, they came directly to the teahouse, ready to contact Li Yiru in person at the right opportunity.

Li Yiru said at this time: "I'm really sorry, my phone will be automatically turned off when it is out of power." Why do you all want to publish my book, then...... Then you can take a look at my usual compositions!"

Li Yiru said that, and forwarded the composition to them, and did not forget to instruct: "Don't leak out, I have intellectual copyright!"

A few people in the car looked down at the composition again, and Li Yiru quietly observed their facial expressions, just like the previous editor-in-chief Lin and them, part-time jobs!

What a shame on this!
