Chapter Twenty-Four: The Boss Runs Away
"In my absence, something happened to the website......"
"Our dog-called boss ran away...... I heard that I owe usury......"
"The website is estimated to be yellow, and our editors' salaries have not been paid this month, and now the website technology department is out of order...... The book was also deleted......"
"In the absence of the absence of the absence of the ......"
……
Xiaodao flicked a lot of messages, and in the end, he basically sent a message every few minutes, and the last time was five minutes ago.
Tong Yao was about to cry at the moment.
In the past month, in addition to attending classes, eating, going to the toilet and sleeping, she has spent all the rest of her time writing "Southern Sword and Northern Sword......
240,000 words were posted on the website, and she still had 360,000 words in her hand, which she had worked hard for a month!!
But now, all the hard work of a month has been in vain, in addition to the 600 yuan of full attendance, there are more than 1,400 rewards from readers on the website, and there are also manuscript fees shared by these paying readers......
It's all gone......
"Tong Yao, it's okay, life is so long, who hasn't met a few liars, maybe this is a good thing?"
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jia said it at the beginning!
Promising to comfort in a whisper, Tong Yao was silent, but clicked on the dialog box with both hands and typed two words for the knife.
"I'm here!"
As soon as Tong Yao's message was replied, Xiaodao over there immediately sent a new message.
"Thank goodness you're finally here. ”
"What's going on?"
"Oh, we're all messed up here, haven't you seen the website yet......? I heard that Li Xiyao, a bastard, owes a lot of money outside, and now everyone is missing, and we haven't paid our wages yet. ”
"Then my manuscript fee ......"
"Your manuscript fee is probably out of play, and I'm still asking for a salary. ”
"You're waiting for me for a long time just to tell me this?"
"I ......"
Knife was irritated and began to tear his hair again, and after a long time, he sighed and told the truth.
"This month, the website only owes you the manuscript fee, and the other authors have not yet reached the number of words to get the manuscript fee, you are the author under my hands, no matter what, I have to say sorry to you. ”
"What is my total fee for this month?"
"Oh, no matter how much it's gone, why are you still asking this!"
"Then what else can I ask? Or will you pay me for the manuscript?"
The knife tore the hair again......
"Okay, I've been paying attention to your manuscript fee for a long time, it's 711 yuan for rewarding, 600 yuan for full attendance, and 4800 yuan for subscription!
"So much?"
"What a fart, it's even a hundred million, and now it's gone!!"
Xiaodao seemed to feel that what he said was a little unrestrained, and immediately said sorry again.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, to be honest, I've only been working for two months, but I didn't expect to be unemployed again, and I worked for nothing. ”
Tong Yao was about to reply to a message, but saw that the other party's news came again.
"Don't talk about it, the editors here are grabbing the computer to pay for their salary, and I have to grab some points and run away with the computer. ”
After speaking, Tong Yao saw that the other party's QQ was really dark.
Xu Nuo, who was watching from the side, gritted his teeth and scolded.
"Phew, liar!!"
After scolding, he looked at Tong Yao's face again, and just as he didn't know what to say, the landline in the dormitory rang.
Although there were mobile phones in this era, almost no one could afford them, and students usually used IC phones and IP phones.
A magnetic card, with a face value of 10, 20, 50, 100, the school is equipped with a phone booth, and you can make a call by plugging it in.
Students buy an IP phone card, dial 17951, and then enter the card number and password of the IP phone card according to the prompts, and then enter the phone number to be dialed.
Of course, Tong Yao has never used such a luxury as a telephone, and she can't use it, their village has now promised to install landlines with the other three, if she wants to call, she has to ask her mother to go to her house to call someone, and then call again in a few minutes.
But if you don't call, it doesn't mean it's useless, you can answer the phone if you don't call.
So, the phone will ring.
In this era, there was basically no telecom fraud and advertising promotion, so almost all of the people who could reach the dormitory were the family members of the dormitory students.
And if you are in such a hurry to hit the dormitory, it must be a very big thing at home.
At least this phone has been installed until now, and Tong Yao has only heard it ring three times.
The first time I made a promise, my mother called, saying that I wanted to make a promise......
The second time was when Xu Xu's mother called and asked her if she had enough money......
The third time, I promised my mother to call and told her to wear more clothes when she went back for the New Year......
Thus, the number of calls also shows the economic strength of the promise family in the dormitory.
And when the bell rang this time, Tong Yao and Zheng Jia unconsciously looked at Xu Yue, and both of them thought that this must be another call from Xu Xu's mother.
Xu Promise also walked to the phone very consciously and picked up the microphone.
"Mom, what are you going to do......
"Mommy, giggle...... I'm not your mother......"
On the other end of the phone, a familiar voice came from everyone, and Xu Promise asked with wide eyes on his face full of astonishment.
"Are you...... Meng Xue?"
Meng Xue's giggling sound came from the phone again, and the voice was so exaggerated that even Tong Yao could hear it.
Xu Promise looked down at the number on the landline and asked in surprise.
"Is this a mobile phone number? Whose mobile phone did you call from?"
Meng Xue didn't answer, but just asked the three of them to go to Xiao Pepper to meet.
Little Pepper, a Sichuan restaurant outside the school, has just opened after the New Year, and it will only be a month to be full.
The three of them hung up the phone, looked at each other curiously, and then immediately went downstairs to Pepper.
When it passed, Meng Xue was standing at the door of Little Pepper and waiting.
Seeing Meng Xue's dress, the three of them were stunned again.
At this moment, Meng Xue is dressed more fashionably, more avant-garde, and bolder, which even makes Zheng Jia feel that she and the other party are like people from two time and space, and she is even more ashamed to stand next to Meng Xue.
And Xu Xu, in her heart, she vaguely felt that Meng Xue seemed to have slowly moved away from them and walked towards another world that she was very unfamiliar with......
"Come on, let's go in, there's air conditioning inside. ”
Air conditioning is still a rarity at this time, and water heating is generally used in northern winters, even if it is plumbing, most places do not provide it, after all, this thing costs money, and it is not cheap.
Being able to afford air conditioning in the store is a testament to the true strength of this store.
Meng Xue smiled and waved at the three of them, and smiled and opened the transparent plastic curtain and entered the store.
As soon as she entered, Tong Yao felt warm all over her body, accompanied by the fragrance of vegetables in the room.
Looking at the store again, the shops are not big, but they are basically full, and it is clear that the business is very good.
