Chapter XXXIV

"Auntie, this is the final version after the revision. Leave it to Uncle Tao. Zhu Ziqing put a black USB flash drive on the coffee table and said. This was the second day after the novel was revised, and Zhu Ziqing hurried over to please his mother-in-law.

Don't look at Lin Bao'er in front of him, one by one, our uncle, and when he lent him ten guts in front of Lin's mother, he didn't dare to shout like this. Lin Baoer's uncle's surname is Tao, so he called Uncle Tao after him.

"You deleted it on my computer?" Tao Hong didn't answer, and asked in a playful tone.

"How can it, it's still there. Zhu Ziqing hurriedly replied.

"Then what kind of USB flash drive, I won't go to the computer to find it myself. Pretending. Tao Hong said angrily.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Zhu Ziqing's head was about to fall to the ground.

has such a pungent mother-in-law, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Fortunately, Bao'er didn't inherit her personality, otherwise he would have cried.

"Alright, don't pretend. What the hell is going on? ”

"Hehe, you're so sharp-eyed. No, I wrote another book, and I want Lin Baoer to continue to help revise it. So let's ask for your opinion. ”

"Wrote another book?" Tao Hong said in surprise.

"Yes, the background of this book is also the Republic of China. So ...... "So I need your daughter's help to revise it."

Zhu Ziqing has been planning this for a long time, to be precise, he began to prepare a new book on the night of his love. There is only one purpose, to occupy Lin Baoer's evening self-study time.

However, he didn't count with Lin Bao'er about this, and he had to ask for parental consent. This is also the reason why Lin Baoer's family has a manuscript, and he also makes a special trip.

"Oh......" Tao Hong deliberately lengthened her voice and looked at him meaningfully: "It turns out that I wrote another book." ”

Zhu Ziqing was embarrassed for a while. He knew that his little caution couldn't hide it from Tao Hong at all, and he didn't plan to hide it. Another reason for coming this time is to spy on her reaction. If she agrees to revise the book when she guesses, it means that she is optimistic about herself. If he refuses, then he will suffer later.

"It's no problem to fix the book, but Bao'er is so helpful to you. How are you going to repay her? You can't just help you for free all the time. ”

He only dared to think about this in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it: "I don't know much about this, Auntie, I will do whatever you say." ”

"Really, then I said that the book is written with Bao'er's name, and you agree?"

"Agreed, no problem at all. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Ziqing knew that it was bad. Sure enough......

Tao Hong's onion-like fingers appeared on his ears like lightning, and he twisted vigorously: "I knew that you stinky boy didn't have a good heart." This time the fox's tail is exposed. ”

I'll it, this mother-in-law's skill in digging pits is really too high. Before you know it, you fell into it. How will I live in the future? Zhu Ziqing saw his bleak future.

"That, Auntie, you light, it hurts. Zhu Ziqing could only let out a miserable scream.

"Look at your unproductive appearance. Tao Hong finally couldn't stand his pig-like scream, and let go of his hand: "Are you going to use the name of Qiye in this book or start a new one?"

"Just seven nights. Zhu Ziqing said while rubbing his hot ears.

The name Seven Nights is now a signboard. If the new book uses this name, it will become popular all over the world without much publicity. can help Lin Bao'er's uncle leave a lot of trouble.

"Recently, many people have been spreading rumors about you on the Internet, and publishing a book under this pen name at this time will not have a good impact on you. Or just change it. Tao Hong put away the pungent language for the first time and said softly.

"Isn't it just a name, running a famous vest is used for it, and I'm afraid of some wind and waves. After a pause, Zhu Ziqing raised his head and said, "Even if there is really a wind and waves, then 'let the storm come more violently'." ”

Zhu Ziqing's confident voice and the proud look on his face made Tao Hong's eyes can't help but show appreciation.

Recently, a lot of rumors about Seven Nights have begun to appear on the Internet. Most of them say that Seven Nights is too famous, but it is just hyped up and popular. Zhu Ziqing, who has been paying attention to the Internet recently, discovered this situation for the first time. After communicating with Zhao Mingyuan and others, it was determined that the competitors used the method of killing to make it work.

The so-called praise and killing, to put it bluntly, is to achieve the purpose of the praised person's weak heart or incurring the disgust of others through excessive praise and praise. But is Zhu Ziqing afraid of this? All he needs to do is to use one excellent work after another to turn other people's praise into a veritable name.

"Okay, ambitious. Then Auntie won't say much. The contract has been drawn up, and the 14 percent share will be shared. As long as the publisher has the right to distribute a single book, all other rights belong to you. After a while, you can copy it on the computer, print it out, sign it, and give it to me. ”

"Fourteen percent? That's too high. Aren't all newcomers between three and seven percent? ”

Although he has never published a single book, he knows that sooner or later there will be such a day. I asked this question specifically when I was in contact with Wei Zhixing. This is not a secret, and Wei Zhixing also answered them for him one by one.

"The newcomer is at this price, but is Qiye a newcomer?"

"But ......"

"Nothing. I know fourteen percent is a bit high for Seven Nights. However, your Uncle Tao's publishing house is about to go out of business, and you are still willing to hand over your works to him to operate, which is your benevolence. But we can't just take it easy, this price is a little bit of our care. Don't refuse, or you'd better take back this book. Auntie doesn't want to suffer from her conscience. ”

"Well, well. I listen to you, Auntie. ”

In the end, Zhu Ziqing still agreed to this share, after all, who would not be happy to share some more money. Later, there were many of his works. If nothing else, it will definitely be put in Lin Bao'er's uncle's publishing house to operate. This time the division is a reticle. At that time, Lin Baoer's uncle can pull his lower face and open a lower share than this?

………………………………………………………………………

Coming out of Lin Baoer's house, Zhu Ziqing went straight to the hotel to find Chen Yunqi and the others. Although there are still some problems with the two of them, after all, he already has ready-made works in his mind.

He only needed to describe the situation of each picture, and then Chen Yunqi and the others drew it according to the requirements. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as in memory, as long as it's the same, the artistic conception is enough. So the progress of the comic can be described as rapid.

"OK, this one passes. Looking at the finished product on the drawing board, Zhu Ziqing nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Oh yes. Another pair of works was completed, and Chen Yunqi and Dai Zhicheng happily stretched out their hands and high-fived each other.

"Mr. Zhu, the fourth episode is ready. Tomorrow the two of us want to take a leave of absence and go out for a walk. After a while, Chen Yunqi walked over and said.

"No excuses. Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.

"Huh? this ...... This ......" Chen Yunqi's face froze, she didn't expect Zhu Ziqing to refuse so simply. Dai Zhicheng's face also became ugly.

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. This big pause Zhu Ziqing was deliberate, and when he saw that the two of them were in a hurry, he said with a smile:

"We drew four words, enough for two months. So I'm going to stop working for a while. I have already told Wei Zhixing about this. By the way, each of you took three days off, and you can go back to the company directly after the holiday. ”

"Ah, Mr. Zhu, are you dissatisfied with the work of the two of us? If there is anything we have done badly, you can directly say that we must change it. ”

Chen Yunqi was not only not happy, but even more anxious. Dai Zhicheng couldn't sit still, got up and walked to the easel. I opened my mouth but didn't know what to say.

"You're mistaken again. It's not your problem. I have something to go to Pearl City in a few days, and I guess I will stay there for a long time. You go back first, and when I get to Mingzhu City, we'll start work there." Zhu Ziqing explained.

"Really? That's great. Chen Yunqi said excitedly with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zhu is going to Mingzhu City?" Dai Zhicheng grasped the point.

"yes, next month. I guess I won't come back until the Chinese New Year. ”

Dai Zhicheng didn't continue to ask, no matter what Zhu Ziqing did, it wasn't something he should worry about. All he had to do was confirm the news. And relay it to those who need to know.

Zhu Ziqing went to prepare to go to Mingzhu City, not to deceive people, nor to play. Rather, it is to participate in the competition - the Essay Contest for Interpreting Words.

After deciding to participate in this contest, he carried an article and submitted it. The results of the first round of the tournament will be announced in a few days, followed by the second round. With this article, he believes that there were no problems at all in the first round of the tournament. So I have started to prepare for going to Pearl City.

Just when Zhu Ziqing was preparing to go to Mingzhu City, the praise on the Internet about Qiye's one-sided reputation finally began to rebound. Negative news is pouring in, and there is a big stick to knock him down.

First appeared on the Cape Forum, a post titled: "The Business Miracle of Children's Literature".

As an insider, the poster 'inadvertently' revealed a little bit of "hype", "packaging" and the like. And praised it as the most perfect and successful business method of the early 21st century, enough to be in the textbooks.

The post did not say anything critical, but kept praising the mastery of 'children's literature'. But those who understand can see at a glance that the poster could not be the most vicious. Giving all the results to the hype completely negates the role of "Shuck and Beta" and "Thumbelina".

Netizens are not stupid, how can they not see the intention of the poster. But anyone who regularly surfs the Internet knows that netizens have a habit of finding pleasure in denying classics or authority.

As soon as everyone saw someone pointing their guns at the seven nights that were now half the sky, it was like a cat smelling fish, not to mention how excited they were.

In addition, the poster pretends to be an 'insider' everywhere, and his speech stops at the point, which makes many netizens itch.

Soon, similar voices appeared in the scarf and major forums. But at this time, praise still accounts for the majority. Everyone just thought that this post was just a very isolated phenomenon and would soon disappear into the sea of people.

But what I didn't expect was that not only did this post not disappear. On the contrary, it is like a spark in the prairie fire, burning more and more. It soon spread throughout the network.
