The old professor has a temperament that modern people have gradually lost: black is black, white is white, and even if he wants to compromise for some reason, he has his own moral bottom line.

For such a person, life will be very difficult when the social status does not reach a certain height. This difficulty does not mean that you can't afford to eat and wear, but that you don't have a soulmate. There is no one around you who can understand you and understand you, and everyone treats you like a monster. When everyone goes with the flow, you become a rock in the river. Most people would praise the quality of the stone, but not many would like to be such a person.

Chen Xin can't either.

She couldn't do it herself, but she respected the old man who could do it. Professor Ye regards her as his junior, and teaches her very seriously, from the principles of life to academic difficulties, as long as he feels that students should know, he will pass it on without reservation.

After the exchange meeting, Chen Xin stayed to help Ye Lao sort out his memoirs and some essays that he had written one after another in the past few decades.

Chen Xin has experience in publishing, and the communication with the publishing house is smoother than Ye Lao's assistant, and more importantly, she can understand from the bottom of her heart what Ye Lao wants to achieve by publishing these two books, which can also be said to be her wish.

The educational publishing house that Ye Lao contacted before was not very interested in these two books, but because he had cooperated with Ye Lao a few times when he published educational books before, he planned to pinch his brows and send a favor to Ye Lao. But Chen Xin suggested that Ye Lao change a publishing house.

"Professional matters are best handled by professionals. If you publish academic books, it would be better to hand them over to the Education Press, because this is their area of expertise. But don't memoirs and essays, which are a summary and remembrance of your personal life over the past decades, and these essays, which are your children, deserve to be treated better?"

Ye Lao closed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively let go of Chen Xin to deal with it, and let his assistant assist her, just provide what she needs directly.

Chen Xin took Ye Lao's two books very seriously, and it took her three days to read them word by word, and make appropriate revisions. Except for a few typos, there is basically no polishing in the content, and try to maintain the style of Ye Lao himself.

In addition, after contacting the editors of two publishing houses in China that she knew and were relatively good for this kind of publications, she also planned to find a few old professors who were equal to or not far from Ye Lao's status to write prefaces and epilogies for Ye Lao.

The determination of these candidates is best to ask his own teacher, Professor Cao, to be in charge, he has followed Ye Lao for more than 20 years, knows Ye Lao's life and friends well, and is also the least likely to make mistakes.

As soon as Professor Cao heard that his teacher was going to publish a memoir and a collection of essays, he was even more excited than he was to write a book himself, and immediately said that the matter of the contact person writing the preface would be handed over to him, and then if he needed other help, he would call her Senior Brother Han.

turned his head and began to criticize Senior Brother Han, saying that Chen Xin had done his master a great favor when he had just passed, and he had followed his master for 20 years to know how to play and know how to play, and he was simply not in shape. Anyway, after Senior Brother Han complained about being split on his head and covered his face, he obediently called Chen Xin and asked for the task of contacting publicity.

Senior Brother Han's family doesn't know what it does, but it should have something to do with the publishing house, and the Southern Publishing House, which was still relatively upright, took the initiative to contact Chen Xin a day later, and it was the editor-in-chief who came to find her.

Chen Xin's heart also pays more attention to the Southern Publishing House, after all, this publishing house has a lot of experience in making this kind of emotional books because of its geographical location and the surrounding cultural environment, and the art of their publishing house is quite good. But the time is not right, and I don't know if her later editor is here, or if there is still this emotional, delicate and gentle publishing editor.

After confirming the content and related matters with the editor-in-chief Brother Nan, Chen Xin pretended to ask casually, Brother Nan thought about it and told her that her publishing house did not have the person she said, it should be someone else who told her that it was wrong, and said that the other editors of her publishing house were also very good, but the author of this publication was Ye Lao, and he respected Ye Lao very much, so he personally negotiated with her.

The credibility of these words can only be discounted, but Chen Xin will not debunk it, but is very grateful to Brother Nan for his overture. The two chatted about something else, and it was obvious that Brother Nan's attitude towards Chen Xin had progressed from being polite but slightly polite before to being casual and easy-going now.

Another publishing house also contacted Chen Xin later in the afternoon, but this publishing house is estimated to be still in the early stage of transformation, from a state unit to a market economy as the leading, the editor who came to contact her was very blunt and not mild, as if they felt that it was a shameless thing for them to publish books for individuals.

Chen Xin didn't want to offend the other party too much, but said that everyone didn't agree with the concept of publicity, forget it this time, and find a chance to cooperate next time. Before she finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone, and before hanging up, Chen Xin seemed to hear the other party scolding in a low voice, meaning that she was wasting the other party's time or something.

For this kind of person, Chen Xin didn't bother to care, and blacklisted him in minutes.

It didn't take much time to sort out the book, Ye Lao's assistant had already proofread it before, Chen Xin proofread it again, and sorted out the manuscript again according to the publication requirements, and then packaged it and sent it to Brother Nan.

Publishing is a relatively long process, but fortunately, because Ye Lao's book is not an educational material, the review is not so strict, and it is estimated that it will be delivered for printing in half a month to a month. After it was printed, Chen Xin and Senior Brother Han thought about doing a roll-up banner promotion in the bookstore, and it was better to leave it to Professor Cao to be responsible for such a difficult thing as designing the slogan!

There are also a lot of personal memoirs in China, but most of them will be published with a certain social fame, and old scholars like Ye Lao have no doubt in the academic circle, but in the social environment, not many people know his old man's name, so how to publicize, how to make readers want to understand the old man's life experience, it needs a good slogan to mobilize the curiosity of readers.

Even a scholar who has been abroad for seven or eight years and settled abroad called Chen Xin, saying that he wanted money to give money, and he wanted support to support, and he just hoped that the teacher would be satisfied, and then said that when the book came out, he would give away fifty copies and hope to get a few signed books from the teacher.
