Chapter 29: Change of Plan
After listening to Su Wei's story, Shen Zhe smiled.
"Sister Su, what do you mean by the magazine, my book will be published first, and then continue to be serialized?"
"That's what it means!"
Shen Zhe was puzzled: "My manuscript fee and publication share remain the same?"
Su Wei tilted her head: "Uh-huh." β
"It's nothing to do with me, it seems that your publishing house is the one who suffers?"
"Heh," Su Wei smiled and said with interest: "You and the editor-in-chief really have a good heart, he guessed when I came, you don't care if you serialize or publish first......"
Shen Zhe took the book under his arm in his hand and said with a smile: "Does it have nothing to do with me?" β
Lin Yuhan was waiting for Shen Zhe five or six meters away, his eyes glancing over from time to time.
When a male classmate saw Lin Yuhan, his eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly and shouted, "Lin Yuhan......"
It was Shen Zhe who received the signal faster, and immediately turned his head and drank: "Get out!"
Then beckoned Sister Lin to come over.
Lin Yuhan glanced at him, but still walked over.
The male classmate and Shen Zhe looked at each other, and saw that Lin Yuhan ignored him and walked away with his schoolbag.
Su Wei giggled: "Your little girlfriend?"
Shen Zhe proudly wanted to grab Lin Yuhan's little watch, but Lin Yuhan avoided it in shame.
Su Wei didn't laugh too much at the pair of teenagers, remembered one thing, and said: "By the way, after you submitted your card number yesterday, the editor-in-chief explained that the finance immediately called you the manuscript fee, and it should be in the account today, so I have time to check." β
Shen Zhe nodded, muttering in his heart.
β¦β¦
After breaking up with the editor, Lin Yuhan was curious: "Ah Zhe, have you earned the manuscript fee?"
Shen Zhe looked at Sister Lin's pretty face with fine fluff in the light, and crooked the corners of his mouth: "Yuhan, do you want to help me take care of the accounts?"
"I don't care!" walked in the direction of the crape myrtle community first.
The little girl doesn't seem to have much desire for money, and she doesn't even ask about the amount of the manuscript fee, which is not like Aunt Huang at all.
Shen Zhe was really worried about the manuscript fee.
According to his mother's temperament, it is a task that must be completed for him to be admitted to college, and he published a book just after his third year of high school, and his specific attitude has not yet been figured out. In case of messing up, her mother is unwilling to distract him, and the computer is confiscated and hidden, which is definitely the first means she thinks of.
Shen Zhe couldn't do without that thing, the problems brought by the original time and space.
Lin Yuhan suddenly turned around and asked seriously, "Ah Zhe, does Aunt Yang know about your submission?"
"Oh, I haven't told her yet. Shen Zhe whispered.
Lin Yuhan frowned: "Why don't you tell Aunt Yang, I'm afraid that she will talk about you?"
Sure enough, Lin Yuhan is a good student, and I am a bad student.
Shen Zhe sighed, the most annoying thing for the little girl was just being whispered in Aunt Huang's ear.
But don't be like that in the future.
The state of the Shen Lin family is very strange, obviously they live in opposite doors, and there is almost no contact between adults, but the next generation is inseparable.
They are all a family of three, Shen Zhe's father goes to work, and his mother does housework. The Lin family is that both parents participate in the work, and the salary of the husband and wife will catch up with Shen Mingcheng's salary alone, and the family living conditions will be pulled to the same level.
At the gate of Ziwei Community, the two people who were out of school happened to meet Shen Mingcheng who was off work.
As for Lin Yuhan's father, Lin Yuanzhi, he often works overtime until dark, and he has to continue to read the manuscript when he goes home.
Shen Zhe originally thought that he was forced by reality, and once wanted to disrupt the plan and carry a martial arts novel to help him, but later found that it was not like that. Lin Yuanzhi's busyness is all a matter of personal hobbies, and he is purely self-inflicted.
"Uncle Shen is good. Lin Yuhan obediently went up to greet Shen Zhe's father.
Shen Mingcheng turned his head and said with a smile: "It's Yuhan, it's out of school?"
Seeing Shen Zhe behind Lin Yuhan, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say much. It is estimated that if Shen Zhe's grades declined, he would not be so calm.
"Dad, why are you rarely seen working overtime?"
Shen Mingcheng said unhappily: "Don't you want to see me, hmph, I want to work overtime, and the person who takes over must be willing!"
"Yes, Dad, when I didn't say it...... Dad, tell you something!"
β¦β¦
A small press conference was held in the editor-in-chief's office.
After notifying the security office, more than a dozen reporters and several representatives of the readers in front of them were invited in.
Zhongli asked people to arrange the details in the editor-in-chief's room that were not suitable for publication, and stood behind the desk for an interview.
"Your magazine has too little content in each issue, right?"
"Who is the author of Sue SΓΉ, is it not Chinese, but Western?" asked one reader.
Zhongli calmed the reader's affection and asked the staff to bring tea and chairs to silence the noisy editor-in-chief's room.
The purpose of the reporter's interview is to help the magazine publicize, and it is still free.
"May I ask Editor-in-Chief Zhong, is the article "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" original?" a reporter asked first.
Zhongli maintained his demeanor and smiled, "Of course it's original, has any of you ever read it?"
The reporter asked: "So, who is the author?"
"Lord of Peach Blossom Island. β
The reporter rolled his eyes: "Of course we know that he is the owner of Peach Blossom Island, but we want to know the specific identity of the author, who is from which country? What is the profession he is engaged in now? Is he a star of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles? Is he a newcomer?"
Zhongli thought for a moment and looked apologetic.
"This lady still has a lot of problems, we do know the author's true information, but without his consent, we can't publish it at will, please forgive me. β
Another male reporter wearing glasses immediately interjected: "I am a reporter from the China Overseas Daily, may I ask Editor-in-Chief Zhong, has this author named Peach Blossom Island Master written an article -- "A QiΔ History is Contemporary History", published in the "Literature and History Weekly"?"
Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and his sense of smell of the reporter was really breathtaking.
Shen Zhe's article was only published after he introduced it, and of course he knew what was going on.
The old classmate also called to thank him, saying that he was the one who owed the favor this time, and Zhongli specially found the article and read it.
The post I read about Journey to the West is very interesting, and the subversive attitude to interpret "Journey to the West", conspiracy and thick black theory, has the flavor of officialdom.
From his point of view, it is not difficult to see that Shen Zhe should also have a set of officialdom essays, which is greatly admired.
This one is even more incredible, it actually expresses a historical point of view from the perspective of a historical researcher. Zhongli is not a deep researcher of history, but he is sensitive to readers' reactions, and the power of the article can also be detected from the call of the professor at Yenching Normal University.
At that time, I really wanted to see Shen Zhe again and ask him what path he wanted to take.
When he began to receive Helen's manuscript, Zhongli was very excited, thinking that Shen Zhe was another youth literary writer.
The brave and optimistic feelings in the article are very consistent with the positioning of the magazine.
Suddenly, an article that looked like an old pedant popped up, and Zhongli began to wonder if the boy he saw that night was real.
But then he hesitated and handed over the task to Su Wei.
