613, polish your life for you

After giving Cheng Wenjin his "great achievements" in the magic capital, Wang Bo planned to enter the theme and show his intention to the other party.

"By the way, Aunt Cheng, this time in the magic capital, many publishing houses want the copyright of the novella I am writing, and I am a little unsure of which one to choose. I have only contributed to "Science Fiction World", and I am completely unfamiliar with the matter of book publishing, Aunt Cheng, can you give me some advice?" Wang Bo said to Cheng Wenjin in front of him, his gaze casually swept over the other party's lips, and there was a wonderful arc bent there. This arc reminded Wang Bo of his girlfriend Liang Ya's appearance when she smiled, light, elegant, and occasionally showed a hint of playfulness.

I have to say that there are too many similarities between girlfriend Liang Ya and her mother Cheng Wenjin.

Cheng Wenjin raised her eyebrows, very surprised, she didn't expect that Wang Bo's novel had not been finished yet, and so many publishing houses would compete for it.

But when I think about it, the other party won the special prize of the "New Concept Essay Contest", which will definitely cause a sensation among primary and secondary school students across the country, and become famous and famous, which is almost a sure thing. If he can launch his novel at this time, with the huge base of more than 100 million primary and secondary school students in the country, even if one out of 100 people can sell one, it will be a great sales. Cheng Wenjin, who is often in contact with publishers, knows very well that in this era, what books are the best to sell and the best to sell, must be the best books for primary and secondary school students, for example, Zheng Yuanjie, a fairy tale writer who wrote "Shuke and Beta" and "Pipiru and Luxisi", is at the top of the writer's rich list almost every year.

"Well, what publishers are there?"

"Several. There are writers' publishing houses, Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House, Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House......" Wang Bo said a few casually.

"Oh, yes? These are all well-known publishing houses in the country? What do they talk to you?" Cheng Wenjin tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and pressed the hair on the side of his ear, as if combing. But the hair ornament on her head has always been neat and tidy, so it's actually just the other party's subconscious action. And it is such a small action, in Wang Bo's eyes, but it is all pleasing to the eye, comfortable and beautiful, with an extremely rare and unique feminine charm.

Or femininity.

"Didn't talk much. I told them that my novel wasn't finished yet. Even if it is completed, it will be serialized in a magazine before it will be assembled and published. ”

"Are you going to serialize it in a magazine first?" Science Fiction World?"

"Yes. After all, I'm from Science Fiction. Wang Bo smiled, "And this novella is also science fiction." However, the editor-in-chief of "Sprout" magazine was very eager for me to take this novella to "Sprout" to serialize, and said that if I agreed, I could not assemble the copyright and reprint rights. So it made me very hesitant. I didn't say no, I just said I needed to think about it. Wang Bo put the situation when Zhao Changtian, the editor-in-chief of "Sprout", met him with Cheng Wenjin.

Cheng Wenjin, who was sitting in a chair, crossed her legs and changed her position. The hands on the brown desk moved their fingertips like playing a piano, and they tapped on the tabletop, as if they were thinking, as if they were thinking about the wording of the exit. Wang Bo, who was sitting opposite Cheng Wenjin, was attracted by the percussion sound of the other party's fingertips, and his eyes immediately fell, and a pair of soft and slender, slightly curved, and ten fingers that could not feel the traces of time at all appeared in his sight. On the ring finger on the left is a small ring, a silver ring with an ordinary texture and simple shape.

Could it be Cheng Wenjin's wedding ring back then? Wang Bo couldn't help but think.

Cheng Wenjin, who knocked on the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Wang Bo, I personally think that in fact, for you now, the choice of the magazine is actually not so important. There are so many newspapers, magazines, radio and television interviews and reports on you, and you will soon become a national celebrity, just like last year's cold. At this time, no matter what you write, it will be a big seller, and it is very likely that you will become a bestseller that year and even many years to come. Therefore, compared with other writers who are not famous or not very famous, have little bargaining power in front of the publishing house, and want to burn high incense as long as they can publish, you are already in a very advantageous position, and you are fully qualified to bargain with major publishing houses, including magazines, to fight for the best and most favorable conditions for yourself. ”

"That's what I think too, Aunt Cheng. However, I have no experience in dealing with publishers and magazines, and I am not familiar with copyrights and copyrights, so I don't know exactly what rights I should fight for myself or how to bargain with others. Aunt Cheng, if a publishing house or magazine comes to me in the future, can you help me talk about it?" Wang Bo looked at Cheng Wenjin and said pleadingly.

"Ah, let me help you talk?" Cheng Wenjin didn't expect Wang Bo to make this request to him, and was very surprised, "Frankly speaking, although I have dealt with publishing houses and magazines a lot, I have never been in contact with each other as an author or an author's agent. If your novel becomes a bestseller, even 0.5 pips less royalty than the publisher will be a huge amount. So, I can't afford this kind of heavy responsibility!" Cheng Wenjin shook his head with a smile and said.

"You can afford it, Aunt Cheng. In the future, I will leave the copyright matters of all my articles and novels to Aunt Cheng to take care of for me. As for the broker's commission, you can say it yourself, and I will never return it. Wang Bo looked at Cheng Wenjin and said eagerly.

"Ah, let me be your agent? With your current fame, you are likely to be a hot best-selling author in the future, where am I qualified to be your economic person? Besides, I have never done this kind of work, I have no experience, and I can't be a person if I want to! Not suitable, Wang Bo, this is not suitable at all!" Cheng Wenjin waved his hand again and again.

"Suitable, Aunt Cheng, you're suitable! For me, I can't find a more suitable person than you. Aunt Cheng, you can help me, okay? Even if you don't look at my face, you have to look at Xiaoya's face? Can you bear to see those profiteers from publishing houses cheating you...... Do you want to pit me?" Wang Bo saw Cheng Wenjin waving his hand and refusing, afraid that the other party would not agree, so in his eagerness, he directly reached out and grabbed Cheng Wenjin's hand wearing a small silver watch in his hand, and kept shaking it, praying with a face.

His hand was suddenly grabbed by Wang Bo, Cheng Wenjin was taken aback, and his heart jumped, and his pretty face with light makeup suddenly flashed a trace of redness visible to the naked eye. Cheng Wenjin quietly pulled his hand out of Wang Bo's hand, raised it, took it to his ear and habitually combed his hair that was not messy, and said after a while: "Wang Bo, don't talk about any agent, what commission." I'm really not suitable, and I'm not up to the task. In the future, if a publisher comes to you, I ...... I'll see you with me. I don't dare to make a decisive decision for you, so I'll help you beat the side drum. ”

Wang Bo also knew that it was too much, as long as he could let the other party help him, it would be a victory. Later, as his fame grew, the more time he had contact with Cheng Wenjin, he talked more, begged more, "coerced and enticed", and the other party would always agree and be "pulled into the water" by him one day.

In addition to wanting to find a trustworthy person to help him, Wang Bo actually also wants to help the "future mother-in-law" in front of him who he has a good impression of. Cheng Wenjin is generous and elegant, virtuous and dignified, and is the most temperamental and educated woman he has ever seen in his previous life and in this life. He felt that with Cheng Wenjin's talent and ability, he deserved a bigger stage and bloomed with more brilliant and dazzling brilliance, instead of wasting time and life in the lifeless, stagnant water and no development prospects of the Sifang Library.

From the point of view of a person in his thirties, in the past ten years, a beautiful and elegant woman like Cheng Wenjin must have encountered countless opportunities and temptations in her career. As long as she is a little willing to sacrifice a little, or even don't have to sacrifice, even if she lowers her voice a little and welcomes her intentions, the current Cheng Wenjin is probably not just an assistant to Qingshui Yamen.

It's a very unfair society, and in some places it's "fair." Cheng Wenjin is neither willing to "serve people with Israel", but also unwilling to condescend to meet her, why should the male boss who did not get any benefits promote her?

Needless to say, the reason why she is like this must be due to her character, not the kind of character who is willing to exchange hue for benefits, and secondly, it must be out of responsibility to her family, and even loyalty to Liang Jingquan, which made her give up a lot of opportunities to enrich her life.

"Aunt Cheng, it's not suitable for you to stay in this small collapse (place) of the Sifang Library all the time, and I don't want you to waste your life so much for the rest of your life, son-in-law. You have paid enough for your children and your husband in this life, but you have never lived a good life for yourself. Before, you were worried, worried, and reluctant to exchange, but now you don't have to worry about anything. The son-in-law has nothing else to ask for you, but to ask you to be happy and wonderful.

"A splendid person deserves a splendid life. Aunt Cheng, you are a pearl that is secretly cast in the dust, let your son-in-law polish it for you......" Looking at the fleeting blush on Cheng Wenjin's face, he gently pulled his hand without a trace - even the small action of pulling his hand was so elegant, it made people feel refreshed, and took care of his face, Wang Bo's heart secretly made up his mind.
