Chapter 725: Mom, I Succeeded!(4/4, for the Ten Thousand Rewards of the Hermit in Chashan)
Like Yang Yi and Murphy, there are not many fathers and mothers who can participate in their children's parent-child activities, and many parents still need to go to work, at most they send one of them to attend. And if the scope is broadened to society, some people are so busy with work that they can only let elderly parents participate in their children's school activities!
Yu Ying is like this, she had already transferred to the class with the deputy foreman today, because the teacher arranged for Yu Xiaowei to participate in the poetry recitation competition held by the school, but the deputy foreman suddenly caught a cold and couldn't come, she could only come back to the top, and there was no way to go to the scene to cheer for her daughter.
Although she temporarily asked her mother to go instead of her, Yu Ying still felt very guilty, and she was looking forward to getting off work all day so that she could go home and apologize to her daughter.
Of course, Yu Ying did not bring her personal emotions to work, she still smiled enthusiastically, and commanded the waiters in the lobby, as always, the hotel maintained an orderly service state.
"Sister Ying, didn't you say that Yang Yi last month?" Finally, when it was time to get off work, Yu Ying was changing her shoes in the locker room, and a waiter girl came over and said.
"Well, what's wrong?" asked Yu Ying puzzled.
"No, my boyfriend saw that I mentioned him last time, and went to check, and is going to take me to see his movie tonight, which is said to be very good!"
"Are you showing affection in front of Sister Ying, who has been single for many years?" Yu Ying smiled and rubbed the other party's bangs and said angrily.
"No, we also heard that Yang Yi still has a book on the market today, but we don't like to read, but I don't know if you like it, Sister Ying, so I'll tell you!" The waiter ran away with a smile.
Yu Ying shook her head, took out her bag, and walked out quickly.
She has indeed been studying the fairy tales written by Yang Yi recently and learning how to write Yang Yi, but this does not mean that she is willing to spend a lot of money on books.
Now Yu Xiaowei hasn't finished reading the first part of "Xixi's Bedtime Story", so Yu Ying is not in a hurry to buy the second part.
......
When she got home, it was all brightly lit again, and before Yu Ying went to take a bath, she asked Yu Xiaowei with concern how she performed in today's poetry recitation competition.
"I just won the second prize. Yu Xiaowei turned around and went to the room to get a thin award certificate and a notebook as a reward, and whispered. She kept her head down, as if she felt a little sorry for her mother's expectations.
"The second prize is already very powerful! When my mother was studying, she hadn't won the prize yet!" Yu Ying was relieved and distressed, "Keep up the good work and continue to work hard!"
Yu Xiaowei nodded obediently.
At this time, Yu Ying's mother handed over a thick letter, looked at Yu Ying a little strangely, and said, "Ying'er, someone sent a letter from the post office today, who sent it to you?"
Although the signature is a publishing house, Yu Ying's mother feels some hope!
In the eyes of people of her time, letterhead was used to convey emotions! Why did she send a letter when she was in a city? Yu Ying didn't tell her mother that she was trying to submit a manuscript to a publishing house, so her mother decisively misunderstood, thinking that a man was sending love letters to Yu Ying......
Yu Xiaowei also looked curiously at the things her mother was holding.
Yu Ying didn't know her mother's misunderstanding, after she saw the sender's signature on the envelope, the whole person was stunned, and her right hand holding the letter was trembling gently.
Of course, Yu Ying doesn't know what this letter represents, whether it is a pass or a rejection?
Yu Ying is worried that the latter will be more likely, because how long has it been since she submitted? a week, two weeks? Doesn't it mean that these publishing houses are very inefficient?
"Mom, what is this?" Yu Xiaowei couldn't help but ask.
"It's a letter. Yu Ying came back to her senses at this time, and opened it while saying vaguely.
Always face it bravely, Yu Ying still has a little hope.
"Ms. Yu Ying, congratulations on your ......" Seeing the first few words, Yu Ying's head buzzed and became blank.
This is...... Was this a success?
Yu Ying was trembling all over, and even felt that her mouth was dry, and her thinking seemed to be stagnant.
"Ying'er, Ying'er, what's wrong with you?" the mother saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Did the bastard send it?"
Yu Ying came back to her senses quietly, looking at her mother's anxious face, and also looking at her daughter's worried eyes, her heart was warm, she focused again, and glanced at the letter just now.
That's right, the gist of the letter was to tell her that the outline and the work had been approved, and that ...... The support fund approved for her was not 10,000, not 20,000, not 30,000, 40,000, but a full 50,000 yuan!
Later, the main thing was to inform her to come to the publishing house to sign a contract, if she was not from Jiangcheng, she could contact the publishing house for reimbursement of travel expenses......
The other thick stack sent in the cover letter was a model of the contract, and Yu Ying finally understood why the other party wanted to send the letter! Of course, if she had a computer and provided an e-mail address, it was not necessary to send a letter.
In fact, Yu Ying only watched the latter later, and when she saw the amount of support she received, Yu Ying had already hugged her daughter excitedly.
"Ying'er, what's wrong with you, don't scare Mom!" the mother asked anxiously.
Yu Ying raised her head, she was already in tears, she reached out to hold her mother, hugged her mother and her daughter together, and choked up uncontrollably: "Mom, I succeeded! I really succeeded!"
......
Of course, the money was not in hand, Yu Ying was not at ease, she was excited all night, and the next day she called her deputy foreman who had pigeon yesterday and asked her to help replace the shift.
Nervously, she got on the bus and went to the Sahara Publishing House in Tingshan District to sign a contract.
The one who received her was still edited by Wen Xuefeng. Before signing the contract, Wen Xuefeng carefully explained to Yu Ying the details of the contract, the authority and responsibilities of both parties. After signing the contract, Yu Ying was taken to the finance office by Wen Xuefeng, and the financial staff arranged for the foundation account to transfer money to her bank card directly through online banking.
50,000 yuan, Yu Ying, who opened the SMS notification, received the arrival information, and the big stone in her heart fell.
"Our editor-in-chief wants to meet you, is it convenient for Ms. Yu?" Wen Xuefeng asked with a smile as he watched Yu Ying's eyebrows, which had been tense for a day, loosen his eyebrows.
The one who wants to see Yu Ying is Lu Benjie, of course, before he met Yu Ying, he didn't know who this name represented.
"It's actually you!" Lu Benjie was a little surprised when he saw Yu Ying.
Subsequently, Lu Benjie commented on the outline and synopsis of Ying's work, and he spoke highly of Ying's story: "You use a rag doll as a writing perspective to describe a series of adventures after it escaped from its little master, and its growth in the process, this idea is very novel and interesting! In the opinion of our editorial department, if it can be written and written well, it will be a very wonderful children's book!" (Note 1)
Yu Ying was a little flattered and asked, "Does Mr. Yang Yi think so too?"
"Mr. Yang Yi?" Lu Benjie was a little surprised, smiled, and said, "Not to mention where he has time to come to the publishing house to participate in the review, and didn't Mr. Yang already tell you that he will not interfere with the selection of the foundation?"
"I thought it was just talking. Yu Ying said with some embarrassment.
"Of course not, Mr. Yang has always been true to his word!" Lu Benjie said seriously.
Of course, Lu Benjie called Yu Ying over, not to praise her, he pointed out that when Yu Ying submitted, the first three chapters were not well written, and there were big flaws in the writing.
"These three chapters are definitely needed, but I hope that you don't rush to rewrite, but listen to a few more writing lessons from our experienced old editors, and study more of Mr. Yang Yi's or other people's works, and it's not too late to write again!" Lu Benjie said excitedly, and got up from the cabinet and took out a complete collection of Yang Yi's works, but he only picked out the fairy tales written by Yang Yi and handed them to Yu Ying, "These books are given to you, I hope they will be helpful to you!"
Yu Ying didn't expect that she didn't have to buy it to have Yang Yi's works, and what Lu Benjie gave her was a hardcover book that Yu Ying was reluctant to buy! Yu Ying bought it herself, just a simple paperback book.
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Lu!" Yu Ying was really moved by the concern of the Sahara Publishing House this time, not only gave her support, but also let her go to class, and also gave her books for her to study, how can a publishing house be so thoughtful?
"Don't thank me, if you can create a wonderful work, our publishing house will be proud of you!" said Lu Benjie.
However, he straightened down again and said seriously: "Ms. Yu, in the end, I still hope you can understand that the original intention of our support fund is to hope that more wonderful children's literature works and more excellent children's literature writers will emerge in the Chinese literary circle!"
Yu Ying was stunned for a moment and listened carefully.
"Although the support money given to you may be a lot of income for your current life. But I hope you have a long-term vision, and work hard to write and write your works well, our publishing house has a complete industry chain waiting to support the release of your works, picture book adaptations, and even future animation adaptations, it is possible, as long as your works are wonderful enough!" Lu Benjie said slowly, "This 50,000 yuan support fund is really too small and too little compared to your possible future income!"
Lu Benjie will have such a conversation with every winner of the 50,000 support fund, and the purpose is also obvious. Yang Yi didn't think it through, he thought that he could realize his idea by giving money, but in this world, after all, there are still many short-sighted people!
It is inevitable that there will be authors who will disappear after taking the money! Although the publishing house can still take back their ideas as compensation, this is completely different from Yang Yi's purpose! Lu Benjie talked to them one by one, hoping not to see such an unpleasant phenomenon happen!
Yu Ying understood, she was not stupid, she nodded seriously, and said, "Editor-in-Chief Lu, please rest assured, I will work hard, and I will not pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons." ”
