Chapter 18: Unhappy Breakup
Su Aijun's home is in the family area of Fengyuan Jiaotong University, and since it is not far away, the couple usually go home to cook at noon, and then they can rest at home. If you don't have anything to do in the afternoon, it's okay not to go to school. After all, they are all university teachers, and they generally don't need to sit in class. However, Su Aijun is now the head of the department, and this matter is much more than that of his wife.
Just when Su Aijun was about to go out, an uninvited guest came to the door.
Sun Lan stood at the door of Su Aijun's house with an angry face. In the morning, he racked his brains to make up a set of nonsense to stabilize Koizumi Keiji, and then deliberately drunk him at lunchtime, so he took the time to find Su Aijun's school, and asked Su Aijun's home address from the school, and really came to the door.
"Uh? It turned out to be Translator Sun, I think I made it very clear on the phone in the morning, do you have anything else?" Seeing that it was him, Su Aijun didn't even have a look to let him go to the door, so he stood at the door and asked.
"Comrade Su, Teacher Su, Director Su!" Sun Lan said with a strong pressure of anger in his heart, "If you don't sign that contract, Xiaoquanjun is a distinguished guest of our country when he comes from afar, and if you do this, you are really losing the face of the Chinese people, and you are not afraid of causing diplomatic disputes? When the time comes, not to mention that you are a small department head, even the president of Fengyuan Jiaotong University cannot afford it!" I warn you, sign the contract honestly, and go with me to apologize to Koizumi-kun, or I'll let you get out of this university!"
What about a university teacher in a small place, who can have some knowledge? Sun Lan believed that as long as he brought the matter to the level of the state and deducted a few big hats, Su Aijun would not be able to sign obediently. As long as he signs it, then things will be easy. With that piece of paper, Sun Lan believed that it would be useless for him to sue the Supreme Court! Up to now, he still didn't know who the real author of "Youyou Baishu" was, but because Su Aijun had always been in contact with them, he thought it was Su Aijun.
Su Aijun looked him up and down a few times with disdain, this kind of trick of the fox and the tiger actually came to his head. "Translator Sun, who has lost the face of the Chinese people, you and I know very well in our hearts. I made it very clear to you this morning that the terms of the contract were too harsh and the pay was too low, so we were not interested. As for any diplomatic disputes? Hmph, this is the first time I've heard that this kind of thing can be linked to foreign affairs. Since you want to hang it, hang it. If you want to sue somewhere, go there and sue there. Get out of the way, I'm going to school!"
Su Aijun's words made Sun Lan's heart tremble a little, seeing that his words did not scare Su Aijun, he said forcefully: "Director Su, what you said is not right, the monthly income of 1,600 yuan, how can it be called too low? ”
"Hmph......" Su Aijun sneered, "Yes, high income, such a high income, even the weekly salary of a temporary worker who washes toilets in Japan is not as good! If you want to please the Japanese, that is your freedom, but don't want to step on the shoulders of your compatriots and climb up! Sun Lan, don't think that just you are a smart person, everyone else is a fool! Do you understand what equal pay is for equal work? Do you understand the international practice of copyright trading? Do you know how many comic publishing houses there are in Japan? Do you understand what free choice is? Hmph, you have a good skin, but you are full of black hearts!
Sun Lan's face was a little unbearable, and he said inwardly: "Su Aijun, you have to be responsible for what you say." Who is black-hearted? Who is treating you as fools? If you can't tell me one, two, three, four, you are slandering me and insulting my reputation? You are undermining the friendly relations between China and Japan!"
Su Aijun smiled contemptuously and said, "Since you think so, then you can go to the court and sue me." See if the court will support you. Now, you get out of the way, I'm going to school. If you make any more trouble here, I'll call the police!" Saying that, Su Aijun slammed into the door, pushed away Sun Lan, who was blocking in front of him, and strode downstairs.
"Su Aijun, you have to think about it, "Weekly Shonen" is the largest manga magazine in Japan, if you offend them, your work will not want to land in Japan. There will be a time when you will regret it in the future!" Sun Lan caught up and said, "I advise you to take advantage of the fact that the matter has not yet made a big fuss, sign the contract and apologize to Koizumi-kun, and the manuscript fee can be discussed again." Everyone is an adult, so don't be so rash. At this time, Sun Lan's heart was already a little panicked, he didn't expect that his few axes did not frighten Su Aijun, but made Su Aijun's attitude even tougher.
From the conversation with Keiji Koizumi, he also understood that "Weekly Shonen" still attached great importance to this work this time, otherwise he would not have sent Keiji Koizumi to come to China on a special occasion to sign a contract with the author in person. If it was because of himself that "Weekly Boy" failed to sign Su Aijun, the consequences might be fatal to him who wanted to immigrate to Japan. If Koizumi Keiji runs away, he will definitely hold a grudge against himself. And in the past few years of studying in Japan, the person he has been with more closely is Keiji Koizumi, and others will definitely not vouch for him. As soon as she thought of this, Sun Lan's attitude couldn't help but soften.
"Acting rashly? There is nothing to talk about just because he used his salary, which is not even enough to hire temporary workers in Japan, in exchange for my hard work! This is an insult to my personality and my work! If I have the ability, "Weekly Shonen" will block my work, but I want to see what Japanese cartoonists will think of them when I take this paper contract and sue the Tokyo court in the future! Su Aijun waved his hand impatiently and said, "I have already made it very clear, you don't have to bother me here!"
Looking at the back of Su Aijun walking away, Sun Lan was almost crying without tears, only to know that it was such a result, why did he persuade Koizumi Keiji to revise the original contract. At least in that case, Su Aijun has no responsibility to sign or not, and now that it has reached this point, Koizumi Keiji will inevitably be extremely dissatisfied with himself.
"How can this be good?" Sun Lan was so anxious that he turned around in place, Su Aijun was so tough, it was really unexpected for him.
His heart suddenly moved, as if he remembered something, and he couldn't help but show a smug look on his face, and turned around and walked outside the school.
PS: Crying! I just wanted to take a break last night, but I fell asleep, and the computer was turned off, and I opened all night. I'm guilty! This chapter is late!
