Chapter 570
When Lin Miao and Zhang Youwei walked into the office, Lao Di, who had just been promoted to the second idler in the school, was playing backgammon with Shayang, who had always been the most idle in the school. The reason why I say "Rongsheng" is because Anna was drinking heavily during the day for N consecutive days, which led to misremembering the time, and even missed the only speaking class once a month, so she was finally expelled by the evil capitalist Wu Ningxiang half a month ago.
At that time, Anna was quite emotional when she learned that she had been expelled from school, after all, she only needed to come to class three times a week, and only one class a month - in fact, she could get a $1,500 job for nothing, and it was a pity to lose it in such a mess. So she argued on the basis of reason, and even made a phone call to recruit all the people from the city's foreign affairs office. However, this time Wu Ningxiang behaved extremely tough in the face of the people of the yamen, uncompromising, with Song Jiaqian's extreme example in front, the angry Wu Fatzi's attitude towards the "sand sculpture teacher" seems to be zero tolerance, what foreign-related principle of no trivial matter, in the face of the school's reputation, economic interests and work discipline, all are bullshit!
In the end, the people from the Foreign Affairs Office negotiated with Lao Wu for a long time, and almost knelt down when he said it, Wu Ningxiang scolded and spent tens of thousands of dollars in "compensation", and asked God to terminate the employment agreement with Anna.
And Wu Fatzi passively killed chickens and monkeys once, and it was not completely without gain.
The working atmosphere of teachers in foreign Chinese junior high schools was not very serious, but because of the fat boss's feat of firing foreigners, it changed its appearance overnight. In the past, many teachers who didn't come to school at all until they were in class had more than their own class time, but since Anna was fired, they immediately learned to be obedient in minutes, even if they didn't have a job, they had to come to school to show their faces, and they were no longer free and casual.
Especially Shayang, this guy originally arrived at school at about 10 o'clock in the morning every day, and then spent more than an hour with Lin Miao, who escaped Zhang Youwei's English class, and then waited for the school's delicious lunch, either went home directly, or if Lin Miao escaped from the English class in the afternoon, he would stay in the school for a while, and when the school overlord was served, by the way, he would drink the oriental afternoon tea provided by the school and then go back- From this point of view, Sha Yang is obviously much more sensible than Anna, at least he understands that the monthly salary of $1,500 is not taken for nothing, and he also knows how to borrow Lin Miao to brush up his sense of existence.
But since last week, Shayang has not dared to be so chic and freehand anymore.
In Shayang's unbreakable concept of maritime case law, Anna, as a foreign teacher, as a valuable resource introduced to the outside world by a closed Eastern country, was still miserably fired by her boss despite the intervention of the government, which is a rather terrible precedent to follow, and her situation is no longer absolutely safe. Sha Yang, who is not confused, understands that if he continues to treat work discipline like nothing every day, it may not take long for him to follow in Anna's footsteps.
You know, he brought his family to China to retire this time. After coming to Dongou City for three months, he was quite satisfied with the living environment and consumption environment of Dongou City, except for not receiving foreign programs and not seeing his favorite ice hockey games, he didn't have to pick other aspects at all. If he lost such an easy and comfortable job, he would never forgive himself in his life.
With such a firm and upright attitude, after Anna left school, Shayang got up at 6 o'clock and arrived at school at 7 o'clock from the next day, and then quit drinking, and did not go to the bar in Jiangxinyu for two days on the weekend.
"An international friend who has come to China thousands of miles to support China's English education, under the glorious light of the socialist market economic system, has changed the decadent capitalist way of life, such a gratifying change, is it not worthy of a worthless little red flower?" Lao Di thought in his heart, the five sunspots were connected into a line, and then he harvested a series of "no no no" in Shayang.
Lin Miao saw that Lao Di and Sha Yang were playing "give-me-five" again - this was translated by him casually without knowing the formal English language of backgammon, and as a result, he was unexpectedly praised by Zhang Youwei and Sha Yang - he stepped forward and asked Sha Yang: "Morning, Lao Sha, have you eaten breakfast?"
"Eat. Lin Miao spoke English, but Lao Sha returned to Chinese, and his pronunciation became more and more standard.
Lao Di turned his head to see Zhang Youwei, his heart was as uncalm as ever, he smiled shyly at her, and when she and Lin Miao came to find Shayang, she silently bowed her head and packed up her chess pieces, completely losing the usual conversation and laughter with Lin Miao and them in class, pointing out the country, from the Western Zhou civilization to the momentum of last week's news. As a result, as soon as he lowered his head and picked up a few black and white seeds, he suddenly heard Lin Miao ask him, "Teacher Di, have you watched "Seeking Immortals"?"
Lao Di was slightly stunned when he heard this, he raised his head, stared at Lin Miao, who looked well-behaved, for a moment, and suddenly showed a smile: "If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, Brother Miao, don't you usually call me Lao Di?"
Lin Miao climbed up directly along the pole: "Between brothers, how can there be such rules." It's just that I have a special psychological need to respect my teacher today, and if you don't feel used to it, then I'm welcome!"
"Talk to Teacher Di well. Zhang Youwei pressed her palm on Lin Miao's head and said with a straight face. It seems that since she was deceived by Jiang Yang and became Lin Miao's aunt, she has become more and more strict with Lin Miao......
Lin Miao said helplessly: "Teacher Di, the sand sculpture that ghostwrote "Looking for Immortals" for me is about to change jobs, I want to think about it, I feel that you are quite suitable, and I want to ask you to help me in the rivers and lakes." ”
As soon as Sha Yang heard Lin Miao call his Chinese name, he immediately asked a little nervously, "Meow, are you talking about me?"
"No, it's the same name. Lin Miao casually switched to English and relieved Shayang's doubts.
But I heard Lao Di laugh and said: "Your request is too sudden! I didn't prepare at all......
"Then can you give it a try?" Lin Miao pointed to the "Dongou Daily" placed on Lao Di's desk, "I see that you usually read the newspaper every day, you should have read "Seeking Immortals", right?"
"Well, I did. Lao Di nodded, and commented casually, "The day before yesterday and yesterday were quite good, but today I don't know if I'm writing a fart with these two thousand words." This He Shengming can't think of it, what kind of slot is it to jump to. ”
"Really?" Lin Miao heard this, hurriedly walked to Lao Di's desk, picked up the newspaper and flipped to the eighth page, quickly glanced at He Shengming's work results after returning yesterday afternoon, and saw that it was really nonsense from beginning to end, and the water was like an ocean, and couldn't help scolding, "I just dragged him yesterday and let him last until the end of the month, and this dog's day was actually scrapped before the 24 hours were over." Lao Di, time is running out! Are you out of class this afternoon? Can you take the time to write a thousand words for me?"
Lao Di couldn't help laughing and said, "Your request is too inexplicable, why do you have to look for me?"
Lin Miao said with a straight face: "Teacher Di, looking at the foreign Chinese junior high school, I think only your personal temperament is most consistent with me. I, Lin Sanshui, are handsome and talented, and your Lao Di is talented and talented, who else can I hand over such a difficult task to you if I don't hand it over to you?"
Lao Di was silent for a moment and said, "Regarding the description of my personal temperament, I will give you another chance to change your words." ”
Lin Miao said: "On the issue of right and wrong, I can't speak with a clear conscience!"
Zhang Youwei was amused by these two living treasures.
Lao Di couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw this, but he didn't want to take the trouble on himself, so he clearly rejected Lin Miao and said: "Forget it, I can't take this task from you, and I haven't written it......"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Miao suddenly shouted: "A hundred words for a thousand!"
Lao Di was stunned when he heard this: "What thousand words and a hundred?"
Lin Miao quickly drew a big pie and said: "As long as you can write to the level of 60 points, we will sign the contract immediately." The manuscript fee is 100 words, write 2,000 words a day, and the book will be published next month, and I will sign it! This book will be serialized in Dongou Daily for at least 24 months, as long as you can keep the capital, the next book will look for you, and we will be partners when you become popular. I'll find a way to sell "Seeking Immortals" abroad, in case of a foreigner's appetite, you will fly to the sky with me in a few minutes and become an internationally renowned writer!"
Lao Lin's monthly salary is 5,000, just calculate it, the part-time job that Lin Miao provided him with a monthly income of only 6,000 yuan, is not particularly worth working hard, but he still has some thoughts about the big cake of "internationally renowned writer", and he opened his mouth and smiled: "Where is it so easy to sell abroad?"
"Hold the curry offering! It's that simple!" Lin Miao shouted, pointing at Zhang Youwei and said, "I've decided to let my aunt take the time to translate "Xun Xian", my aunt translates 4,000 words a day just like playing! Uncle Lao Sha has a publishing house in Canada that is about to go bankrupt, and I have inquired about it! We will give him the book to sell for free, as long as the first part can make a little money, someone will naturally find it." When the copyright is in our hands, we will let them pose whatever posture we want! What are you still hesitating about, if this thing is done well, it will be a big business of millions every year! A bright future is already beckoning to you, don't you want to hurry up and save money and marry a wife as beautiful and moving as my aunt?!"
Lao Di looked at Zhang Youwei.
Zhang Youwei pressed another palm on Lin Miao's head, turned her head and asked Sha Yang, "Teacher Sha, can you contact a foreign publishing house?"
Sha Yang looked strange, but replied very honestly: "Yes, my uncle has a publishing house, do you need anything?"
Zhang Youwei asked, "If we want to publish our own, can you help us get in touch?"
Shayang said: "Of course I can help you send your works, but whether to publish it depends on the decision of my uncle and the shareholders of the publishing house, and my uncle's publishing house has a very high commission, and only gives 30% of the sales share for the works that are actively submitted." ”
After listening to this, Zhang Youwei lowered her head and asked Lin Miao: "Miao Miao, do you accept the 30% sales share?"
Lin Miao didn't think about it and agreed: "Damn! The first step to go abroad, as long as it can be sold, 3% is fine! You tell Lao Sha, I can let him be an agent, and share 10% of him!"
Zhang Youwei turned her head and translated with Sha Yangyi.
Sha Yang paused slightly, and immediately bowed his head: "Boss, when can I serve you?"
"Damn, people who come out of the capitalist world are really undisciplined. Lin Miao spit out, turned her head and asked Lao Di again, "Teacher Di, Lao Sha is already kneeling, tell me quickly, do you want this money or not?"
Lao Di smiled coldly: "What is money, I Di Wei agreed to this matter today, the key is to make a little contribution to the cultural export of the motherland." Let's get the outline out!"
Lin Miao raised her finger to Lao Di in respect.
Zhang Youwei felt more tired than watching Jiang Yang and Lin Miao talk about it.
