Both brothers were already drunk.

Lying at home and falling asleep, until the evening of twilight, I looked at the clock, and it was already more than 7 o'clock.

Zhang Shaojie got up violently, took out the big envelope in his pocket, opened the envelope, and saw a stack of banknotes inside, which calmed down.

Soon after, Shaohuai also woke up from drunkenness.

Seeing Zhang Shaojie counting the banknotes, the fifteen-year-old boy couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Brother, is this your manuscript fee?" A stack of large Hong Kong dollars spread on the table, for Shaohuai's impact, the impact is really amazing.

"Yes!" Zhang Shaojie's face was written with the happiness of counting money.

"How many?"

"Thirteen thousand dollars!"

Shaohuai gasped: "You can make so much money by writing manuscripts!" ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled, took 3,500 yuan in the banknote to Shaohuai, and said, "This is your tuition fee for the next semester." ”

Shaohuai didn't say much, and took it silently.

Then Zhang Shaojie took out another 5,000 yuan and said, "What about this one, you go to the bank to save it." If you need money urgently, take it out! ”

Shaohuai did not hesitate, nodded, and agreed to such an arrangement.

Finally, there is another 4,500 yuan.

Zhang Shaojie took 1,000 yuan and put it in his pocket, and pushed the rest to his younger brother, saying: "There is still 3,500 yuan, which is the pocket money that my brother gave you." I used to live hard, but now I have some money that I can use to improve my life. You go to the street to see if there are suitable clothes and supplies that you like, you can buy them. I was too torn to look up at school."

"Brother" Shaohuai's eyes were a little red, "This money is earned by you, you should buy something you like first, I really don't need it"

"Nonsense, how could it not be needed! People rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold! This is a money society, and snobbery in schools and society is always the majority! In the past, we were poor, and we were embarrassed enough! Now, you must not be looked down upon! Zhang Shaojie said toughly.

"But, brother, you've done so much for me. But what about yourself, have you thought about yourself? For the past few years, for me. You work hard to earn a little money, and you wear new clothes for me to wear, but you yourself wear only torn clothes. Do you know that as a younger brother, it is like to see your brother embarrassed and cold-eyed by outsiders in order to support his family? Shaohuai said loudly, "Brother, in my heart, in fact, you are the sky, you are the earth!" Without you, I wouldn't be where I am now! Without you, there would be no education! You know? The reason why I work hard is that I swear in my heart that I will become a master in the future, make money and honor you, and let you enjoy happiness."

The two brothers sighed for a while!

However, in the end, Zhang Shaojie still persuaded Shaohuai: "Shaohuai, who comes first and who comes second, it doesn't really matter!" Now, I'm serializing novels in magazines. 20,000 words per issue, 80,000 words a month! The monthly salary is 8000! In this way, this manuscript fee will be provided to you first, and after the next manuscript fee is in hand, I will consider myself. Who doesn't want to dress handsome and stylish? ”

"Brother! Come on! I hope that when you get the manuscript fee for the next issue, you will be handsome! Strive to get a beautiful sister-in-law as soon as possible! Shaohuai teased with a wicked smile.

"Stinky boy, your skin is itchy, you dare to joke with your brother don't run, see how I teach you"

――――――

With the official serialization of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the manuscript fee of 130,000 words for the first two volumes has been sent.

It's not 50 yuan for 1,000 words, but it's increased to 100 yuan for 1,000 words. Therefore, the remuneration of 130,000 words for the first two volumes of "Datang" adds up to 13,000 Hong Kong dollars!

This remuneration is like timely rain, which is not only enough to pay the tuition fee for the next semester.

It can also completely improve the financial plight of the family.

In fact, the authors of novels created in Chinese in the 80s could easily get a manuscript fee of 100 yuan per thousand words, at least in the category of first-line authors!

Even after 30 years, the author who can get a salary of 1,000 words and 100 yuan is an ordinary best-selling author!

Therefore, Zhang Shaojie decided to copy "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" more diligently, and he would cash out all the manuscript fees!

10,000 words, 20,000 words, 30,000 words

Although it was a copy, such a fast copying would also make his arms and wrists sore.

In fact, looking at the full text of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which is more than 5 million words long, sometimes Zhang Shaojie only hates that he is not an octopus monster that can be used flexibly with eight claws.

Only an octopus as a perverted octopus monster can complete the transcription of a novel of more than 5 million words in a short period of time!

I finally finished copying the third volume of "The Tang Dynasty".

"Whew!" Zhang Shaojie let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, Zhang Shaojie enthusiastically sent the copied text to the editorial office of "Ming Pao".

――――――――――

Zhang Shaojie's residence is only a few minutes' walk from the office building of Ming Pao.

Passing by the door of the Ming Pao Building again.

The front desk lady Cai Meiyun I saw last time had a much more sincere smile than the last time: "Zhang Shaojie? I didn't expect you to really become a great writer! ”

Zhang Shaojie said with a humble smile: "Thank you Miss Cai for your credit, at least without Miss Cai's help, my manuscript would not have been able to be sent to Editor Hu!" ”

Cai Meiyun smiled: "If you are really grateful to your sister Cai, you must have a sincere gift!" ”

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "What does my sister like?" ”

"Whatever, it depends on whether your intentions are really sincere," she smiled pleasantly.

"Hehe, Sister Cai is such a beautiful person, even if people take out their hearts and livers to prove their sincerity, the little brother is willing"

"I'm going to die, I actually molested Sister Cai"

After chatting with Cai Meiyun for a long time, the elevator opened.

Several people waiting for the elevator rushed in.

The editorial office of "Martial Arts and History" was on the sixth floor of the Ming Pao Industrial Building, Zhang Shaojie said goodbye to her, got on the elevator, and pressed the button on the 6th floor.

There was a slight feeling of weightlessness as the elevator slowly rose.

“12356！”

Finally, the elevator doors opened.

Zhang Shaojie walked into the sixth floor and found the editorial office of "Martial Arts and History".

"Sir, who are you looking for?" A staff member asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm Zhang Shaojie, the author of your magazine's serialized novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and I'm here to deliver the manuscript to Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hu today!" Zhang Shaojie said.

"What, you are the big celebrity Zhang Shaojie?" The whole magazine was a sensation!

Zhang Shaojie?!

The name was called, and the entire office fell silent.

Many editors and reporters stopped working and looked at Zhang Shaojie.

"Jie Shao, how did you come up with the idea of this novel of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"?"

"Kou Zhong or Xu Ziling, which one do you admire more?"

"Later in this novel, will Kou Zhong adapt the history of the Tang Dynasty?"

More people's curious inquiries made Zhang Shaojie feel at a loss and difficult to deal with this scene.
