Afternoon.

I took a nap.

As soon as the dust settled, the blocking order on his head was withdrawn, and the conflict with several enemies was settled, and everything before came to a perfect end for Zhang Ye, so he slept very comfortably and soundly. From the moment he came down from document No. 43, Zhang Ye has never been idle, fighting this and that, busy with this and that, and there are endless scolding fights every day, but fortunately, he survived, and under the disbelieving gaze of everyone, he fought his way out alive, and he did not fall from beginning to end.

Willpower.

体lì.

Psycho zhì.

Wisdom...... Well, it doesn't seem to be that.

This is the biggest and most severe test for Zhang Ye since his debut, and Zhang Ye has done what no one can do, under such great pressure and oppression, he handed over a perfect answer sheet, for a while, Zhang Ye's heart is also very full, this is a sublimation of him, this is another critical step towards his goal of becoming an international celebrity, and he feels that he is "strong" again.

Squeak.

Knock, the sound of doors opening and closing.

Zhang Ye rubbed his eyes and turned over, he was woken up, it was already more than five o'clock when he looked at his watch, it was almost time for dinner, and when he was full, he stretched his waist and got up.

There was talk outside.

"Xiao Li, come in."

"Auntie, don't need it, I'll go back."

"Well, come inside, drink some water and go."

"That'...... Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, thank you, Auntie. ”

One of the voices inside was from my mother, and the other voice was a young female voice, Zhang Ye didn't know her, like a neighbor, but this voice was a little familiar.

Dad seems to have passed, "Who is this?" ”

I only heard the mother outside the door say: "This is Li Mei of the Oriental Publishing House, when I just came back downstairs from buying vegetables, the things in my hands were too heavy, and I almost fell down the steps, it was Xiao Li who supported me, look, I also brought the things up, and I knew that Xiao Li wanted to sign our son's new book, and I inquired about our address, and I was embarrassed to go upstairs after standing downstairs for a long time, hehe, you hurry, pour Xiao Li a cup of tea." ”

Li Mei said: "Auntie, you're welcome, I'm not thirsty." ”

"Drink some if you're not thirsty, sit down, I'll let Xiao Ye come out in a while." Mom said.

Li Mei said, "Teacher Zhang is also there?" ”

Mom smiled, "Yes, he takes a nap." ”

Li mei?

Oriental Press?

Oh, isn't this the lesbian who talked to her on the phone before? How did she know the address? It seems that it took a lot of thought.

When Zhang Ye heard the sound, he came out in his pajamas, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the person from this publishing house, twenty-two or three years old, younger than him, with an average appearance, dressed in professional clothes, a very simple tone, looking at the temperament, it should not be a long time to participate in the work.

"Hello." Zhang Ye said hello.

Li Mei hurriedly looked back, and immediately said, "Hello Teacher Zhang, am I disturbing your rest?" Seeing Zhang Ye, she was also very excited.

Zhang Ye smiled: "No, I just woke up, thank you, and help my mother bring the dishes, sit down." ”

Li Mei said: "I'm just a gesture." ”

The parents also politely asked her to sit down and drink water, the old couple are relatively kind, and they didn't take it for granted because they came with a purpose before, and they had to thank Li Mei for helping, this point of character, Zhang Ye also followed his parents, and it was a family education for children.

A little chat.

Mom and Dad and Zhang Ye didn't mention the version, and Li Mei didn't mention it, just chatted casually.

But after a while, my mother stood up and smiled: "You sit, Xiao Li, I'm going to cook." ”

Li Mei hurriedly got up as well, "I'll help you." ”

"Well, that's not going to work." Mom shook her hand.

Li Mei chased after her to the kitchen, "I've been in the capital for several years, and I've always cooked and eaten by myself, and my cooking skills are definitely not as good as you, but it's no problem to wash and cut vegetables, I'll come!" ”

"Look at this kid." My mother smiled helplessly: "Don't touch your hands, where can I let you help, you can stay and eat for a while." ”

Li Mei said very politely: "If you don't let me help, I'm embarrassed to eat." ”

In the end, after a long time, my mother finally said: "Alas, okay, then you can wash the vegetables, and don't care about anything else." ”

"Whoa." Li Mei is very happy, her hands are also very sharp, she has been busy with work in the past, her movements are very skilled, and she has done a lot of work at a glance.

Li Mei did come with a task today, in fact, it is not a dead task, that is, when the publishing house held a meeting at noon, a few books were mentioned, and a few books were reviewed, and then when everyone discussed, the news of Zhang Ye's lifting of the ban also came, and suddenly, most of the editors of this publishing house have read and can't put down "The Legend of Wukong" was put on the agenda, and the leaders of several publishing houses are very eager to make this book, not only do they think that "The Legend of Wukong" is very good, in fact, just the name Zhang Ye is worth them spending a lot of money to do, sales? Money? They didn't think about it at all, because Zhang Ye's name is sales and a meaning to the publishing industry.

But what do they have in the Oriental Press?

In terms of scale, they are not the top batch of big publishing houses, and they are not at the forefront of the industry when it comes to funding. It is a medium-sized publishing house, which may be attractive to other authors, but for people at Zhang Ye's level, it is obviously almost zero attractive. They believe that as long as Zhang Ye releases the news that he wants to sell the copyright of "The Legend of Wukong", or wants to cooperate with the royalties of the publishing house, then at the moment when he has been lifted, there will definitely be countless large domestic publishing houses flocking to him, well, maybe even if Zhang Ye does not open his mouth and does not let go of the news, many publishing houses must have found him in advance. Therefore, their Oriental Publishing House knew that it was not competitive enough, so it did not have much hope, and after the meeting, they directly threw this task to a newcomer who had just come to the publishing house for more than a year.

This person is Li Mei.

The leader didn't hold out hope, but Li Mei was not, she was serious and attentive to this matter, and immediately found a college classmate who was now a reporter for herself, and spent a lot of effort owing a lot of meals, and repeatedly promised that it would be absolutely confidential, and then she had to get Zhang Ye's phone and the address of his parents' house, but the phone called, and she ate a closed door, Li Mei was still not discouraged, hesitated for a long time, or came here, waited stupidly downstairs, and was embarrassed to go upstairs directly, and the result was that she was extremely lucky today, She felt that God was taking special care of her, and after waiting for an hour, she actually saw Zhang Ye's mother, because of mathematical conjectures, Zhang Ye's parents had been on the news and showed their faces, and Li Mei had done her homework, so she naturally knew each other. That's where what just happened.

Li Mei thinks that since their publishing house is not the one that can give the most money, nor is it the largest, what can they fight? I can only fight sincerity!

"Auntie, I'm coming."

"Oh, didn't I just let you wash the vegetables?"

"I'll cut it easily, it's okay, don't be polite to me."

"This kid."

"Auntie, why don't you rest, the ground is slippery, be careful not to fall again."

"Okay, I'll look at it."

"Auntie, don't take so many things when you buy vegetables in the future, it's too heavy, next time you buy more, you can call me, I live not too far from here, you call me, I'll help you get it."

"Where do you live?"

"West Red Gate."

"Hey, that's Daxing District, it's not far away?"

"It's okay, the subway is fast, you can call me if you have something."

Li Mei rushed to work, her mouth was also sweet, and Zhang Ye's mother liked it, and her mother and Li Mei talked more, and the two chatted while cooking, and they didn't stop.

Finally.

The dish is ready.

Zhang Ye went over to serve the food, "Give it to me." ”

Li Mei took it herself, "Teacher Zhang, don't worry about it, it's hot, I'll serve it." ”

My mother smiled and said, "Those two dishes are fried by Xiao Li, I think they are better than my cooking skills, this kid, it's really good, and his heart is also careful." ”

"Thank you, Editor Li, this keeps you busy." Zhang Ye was not too embarrassed, "Let's sit and eat, I'm tired for a long time." ”

At the beginning of the meal, everyone sat down and ate together.

The mother tasted the food, and immediately praised Li Mei's craftsmanship, and then saw that Li Mei didn't mention anything about the novel, and the mother simply helped her ask, "Son, who did you sell the copyright of the book?" ”

Li Mei's eyes widened a little.

Zhang Ye ate the vegetables and said, "I didn't sell it." ”

My mother said: "Xiao Li's publishing house also wants to buy your copyright, who is not selling, you talk to Xiao Li to see if the price is suitable." Turning her head, she said, "Xiao Li, how many do you come up with?" ”

Li Mei hurriedly put down her chopsticks, didn't care about eating, and said: "Auntie, I won't tell you anything, the highest price given to me above, if "The Legend of Wukong" is bought out by copyright, it will be simplified copyright, and it can be given at most 1.5 million, and then, well, I heard that the simplified copyright of Mr. Zhang's original "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Zhang Ye's Anthology" were returned to Mr. Zhang in breach of contract, if this is possible, we also want to take it down, the reissue of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the sales will definitely not be bad, After all, the market was not completely saturated after the first version was released. ”

My mother asked, "How much is this?" ”

Li Mei said: ""Ghost Blowing the Lamp", one million, in the case of anthologies, 300,000, but to add some of Mr. Zhang's recent new poetry works, well, a few fairy tales from the previous children's publishing house, the copyright seems to have been returned? Their children's publishing house has no right to publish anymore, if Mr. Zhang can trust us, we can also do fairy tales, but we haven't done much in the children's literature market before, so the readership has not opened, and the sales are not guaranteed. ”

Mom nodded slightly, "In total?" ”

"All combined, it's three million." Li Mei said nervously, and then began to pay attention to Zhang Ye's face and expression.

Zhang Ye didn't speak and continued to eat.

The mother rolled her eyes and kicked her son under the table, "Talk?" Okay? ”

Zhang Ye said indifferently: "Okay." ”

"The Legend of Wukong" is very famous, but in Zhang Ye's world, the sales of "The Legend of Wukong" must be incomparable with "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", much worse, and not to mention the problem of the number of words, the number of words of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is many times that of "The Legend of Wukong", of course, it is more expensive than "The Legend of Wukong", even if it has been sold once, it can be sold for 1 million, considering various factors, the other party gave 1.5 million for "The Legend of Wukong", which is actually not low, Especially since the novel is already available for free reading on the blog. There are pros and cons to reading free online, the advantage is that you can get a sneak peek and strengthen publicity to promote physical sales, and the disadvantage is that many people have already read it all from beginning to end, and they think that if they are average, they may not buy physical novels.

Million?

It's ok.

When Li Mei heard Zhang Ye say okay, the whole person was stunned, and her hands trembled excitedly, "Huh? What do you mean ......"

"These copyrights will be handed over to your publishing house to operate, and you can send me a contract when you go back, list the terms, and sign the contract." Zhang Ye said.

It's done?

Really becoming??

Li Meiden felt hit by a big pie and was a little dizzy, "Teacher Zhang, I, I thank you for your trust, thank you!" Then he hurriedly said to Zhang Ye's mother: "Auntie, thank you!" ”

Mom smiled, "Let's eat." ”

Li Mei stood up, "I'll go get the contract first!" ”

"This kid, what are you anxious about?" The old mother grabbed her, "Xiao Ye has agreed to you, I definitely won't sign it to others, it's the same in the morning and in the evening, you sit down to eat first, if you don't finish eating, I won't let my son sign the contract, hurry up." ”

Li Mei could only hold back her urgency, "Okay, Auntie, I'll listen to you." Then he had a great appetite and sent chopsticks into his stomach one by one.

My mother snorted, "Seeing that your body is not big, you can really eat." ”

When Li Mei heard this, her face flushed.

After the meal, Li Mei didn't care about Zhang Ye's parents' obstruction, so she took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen without saying anything, and brushed them, and then left Zhang Ye's house.

Outside.

It's getting dark.

Li Mei walked out of the community and trotted to catch up with a taxi in front of her, and after getting in, she hurriedly dialed the phone number of one of the team leaders of the publishing house with her.

Beep, the phone went through.

"Xiao Li, what's the matter?" The middle-aged man over there is humane.

Li Mei clenched her small fists and said, "Team leader! It's done! ”

The team leader was confused, "What has it become?" What has become of it? ”

"What you gave me at noon." Li Mei's heart was pounding, and now, she still didn't dare to believe it, "I, I, I've done it!" ”

The team leader over there was taken aback, "You mean Zhang Ye's publication?" ”

Li Mei said: "Yes! ”

"The copyright of "The Legend of Wukong"?" The team leader asked.

Li Mei added: "'Ghost Blows the Lantern' and other copyright ...... I took them all too! Mr. Zhang gave us the publishing house, let's get the contract, and he signed it! That's three million in total! ”

Bang, there was a sound of thigh slapping on the phone, "Great! Good for you, Xiao Li! Well done! Well done so beautifully! You're waiting for me to report back to the editor-in-chief! The contract will be printed immediately! Xiao Li, you have made a great contribution to our publishing house this time, and you have taken down such a difficult task? Good! Good! Good! "Issuing this task, their publishing house didn't have any hope at all, otherwise it wouldn't have been handed over to a newcomer to do, Zhang Ye has such a high literary talent, such a big wrist, why don't so many big publishing houses give it and give the copyright to a medium-sized publishing house like them? It doesn't make sense, they may not even be able to see Zhang Ye's face when they think about it!

But who would have thought that in just one afternoon, Li Mei would do it!?

With Zhang Ye's copyrights, their publishing house can not only make a fortune, but with Zhang Ye's golden signboard, their reputation in the circle will definitely go to a higher level!

Oriental Press.

"It's done!"

"What has it become?"

"Zhang Ye has signed it!"

"Huh?"

"Really?"

"I'll go! Mr. Zhang is a writer in our publishing house? ”

"Wouldn't it? Can this be done? Who did this? That's awesome, right? Can Zhang Ye sign such a big publishing god? ”

"It was Li Mei who did it!"

"Xiao Li?"

"What? Was it taken down by a newcomer? ”

"Li Mei, this is the rhythm of going up! Ha ha! ”

The contract was quickly completed, and Li Mei took it to Zhang Ye's parents' house, this time it was not Li Mei who came alone, there were three or four people from the publishing house, including legal affairs, copyright editors, and the editor-in-chief personally came to the door and was personally responsible for the signing of this meaningful agreement, which was very grand, and Oriental Publishing House gave Zhang Ye the highest standard treatment. In the end, the two parties signed, and the editor-in-chief went out to make a phone call, and then a minute later, the money was transferred to Zhang Ye's account, which can be described as extremely fast, and the money was given without even blinking an eye!

Zhang Ye was also quite surprised, he had never gotten money so quickly, after the tax deduction of three million, there were more than two million, and the income from manuscript fees and personal income tax were different, and the deduction was relatively small, so such a sum of money into the account also just solved Zhang Ye's urgent need for a shortage of funds, just right.

The editor-in-chief communicated with Li Mei alone, he didn't even know that there was such a newcomer in the publishing house before, he didn't pay attention to it and didn't pay attention to it, after getting the news, he knew that there was such a capable young lesbian in the publishing house, and after chatting for a while, he felt that this newcomer was very right, there were almost no hands that their publishing house could take out, what do you rely on? What do you rely on to fight with others? You can only rely on sincerity! So they not only paid the manuscript fee quickly, but also paid it in full in advance, and even the compensation for breach of contract in the contract, except for a few necessary clauses, did not list some other conventional compensation clauses at all, yes, they didn't even write it, which showed their sincerity to the maximum, and they knew that the thing that the Beijing Education Press did before made Zhang Ye very annoying.

It's magically settled!

That night, the news of Zhang Ye's signing with Oriental Publishing House also spread rapidly in the industry!

"Huh?"

"Oriental Press? What is this place? ”

"I haven't heard of it either?"

"I know that a medium-sized publishing house in the capital is not large."

"How could it be, why did Zhang Ye sign them?"

"I don't know, I heard a friend of mine say that it also includes the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Zhang Ye's Anthology" and those fairy tales! It's all done to the Oriental Publishing House! Alas, your mother is really envious of them, this time did she pull a big tree over, or a cash cow, the boss of our publishing house also let a few of us get a team to prepare to conquer Mr. Zhang Ye, but the team hasn't gone out yet, and there is no play! ”

"Our publishing house is also bound to win Zhang Ye's copyright, but unfortunately, let Oriental Publishing House take the lead, this is really a dark horse, no one expected the result!"

"Who took it?"

"It is said to be a man named Li Mei."

"Li Mei? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

"Where is this sacred?"

"It's a newcomer."

"Khan, isn't it?"

"The old editors of so many big publishing houses have all lost to a newcomer?"

"Li Mei?"

Slowly, Li Mei's name spread in the publishing circle!

In fact, only Li Mei herself knows that signing Teacher Zhang Ye this time is really not as difficult as everyone thinks, people who have not seen Zhang Ye, because of the impact of some news reports and scolding incidents, many people will subconsciously think that Zhang Ye has a bad temper and is very difficult to speak and communicate, so they also see the signing of his new book as extremely difficult, as an impossible task, but Li Mei has contacted Zhang Ye, it is the kind of real face-to-face contact, she knows that Teacher Zhang is not as "terrible" as everyone thinks, On the contrary, he is a very kind, reasonable, no star frame, and a very filial person.

My dad is hospitalized, cirrhosis, jaundice, not eating, the situation is very bad, these days I update may not be guaranteed, there are too many things at home recently, and my mind is not on writing books, forgive me.

…… It hit Zhang Ye's account, which can be described as extremely fast, and he gave the money without even blinking an eye!
