Gu Xiaobei asked the doorman and found the small building where Jiang Jiahua worked, the small building was a wooden structure, an imitation E building, and the stairs and floors were paved with thick pine wood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Jiahua was sitting in the office thinking about it, Gu Xiaobei didn't come this afternoon, he should come tomorrow. I was thinking about the knock at the door.

Gu Xiaobei heard a mellow baritone coming: "Please come in." Pushing the door in response, I was stunned, Nima, the world is so small, a wonderful brother.

Jiang Jiahua was also stunned when he saw that it was the petite woman he met at the train station in the morning, and immediately understood that this was Gu Xiaobei.

Jiang Jiahua stood up and said with a gentle smile: "Comrade Gu Xiaobei, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Gu Xiaobei also came back to his senses, and said with a polite smile: "Hello Editor-in-Chief Jiang! ”

Jiang Jiahua invited Gu Xiaobei to sit down at the desk, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry for the morning, my sister has been spoiled since she was a child." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to go back tomorrow, so this time the time is tight, let's talk about work directly." Gu Xiaobei sat down and opened the file bag, took out part of his manuscript and handed it over.

"I'm in such a hurry, since I'm here, stay a few more days and go around the provincial capital." Jiang Jiahua took the manuscript and said enthusiastically.

"No need, there's something going on at home." Gu Xiaobei opened his mouth lightly.

Jiang Jiahua was silent, looking down at Gu Xiaobei's manuscript, he couldn't help but admire in his heart, he was so talented. Hurriedly glanced at it and said, "What do you think?" ”

"I wanted to make a children's book, in the form of a monthly magazine, with 10 short stories in each issue. Focus on twenty words. Gu Xiaobei said clearly.

"That's a good idea, so how do you want to cooperate with the publishing house?" Jiang Jiahua didn't drag the mud and water, and said bluntly.

"I want to sell the copyright directly to the publisher!" Gu Xiaobei knew that only in this way could the money come quickly, and perhaps it would be much less than the money obtained from the cooperative issuance.

Jiang Jiahua raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever thought about how much it will cost to sell?" ”

"Thirty thousand!" Gu Xiaobei said without hesitation.

Jiang Jiahua was also shocked, this woman really dared to ask for it: "Thirty thousand? There are too many, it's a completely unknown market. ”

With the development of society, education will be more and more valued, and English will be widely promoted, you look at the current Beijing, Shanghai and these cities to go abroad, you know how important English will be in the future. Moreover, starting from children, cultivating English will become a mainstream of education in the future. Now they are all one child, and parents will spare no effort in nurturing their children. Gu Xiaobei calmly analyzed.

Jiang Jiahua couldn't help but admire, this woman looked young, looked like a baby face, delicate and weak, but she didn't expect to say that it was words, the head was the Tao, and the words were reasonable.

"Your analysis is very correct, but none of us can guarantee that what you write will be recognized when it goes public." Jiang Jiahua retorted.

Gu Xiaobei smiled confidently: "If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't ask for 30,000." Most of the books sold in bookstores now are jerky and difficult to understand original books, and those popular English nursery rhymes cannot be close to the actual life of children in our country. We need some traditional story-based English textbooks, don't we? ”

"Do you have any good ideas?" Jiang Jiahua had to succumb to Gu Xiaobei's eloquence.

"At the beginning, you can use the 12 zodiac signs as cartoon prototypes to tell stories related to each zodiac, such as the dragon, the East China Sea Dragon Palace treasure exploration, and the dragon pride nine days to find friends." Gu Xiaobei gave a simple example, anyway, he watched more cartoons, and small stories came easily.

"Thirty thousand is not a small amount, wait for us to meet and study it, and then I will write to you." Jiang Jiahua was a little moved, but after all, he was not the only one who could call the shots.

"Yes." Gu Xiaobei had expected such a result, but she thought about it, her bottom line was fifteen thousand, if she couldn't meet it, then she would submit it to another publishing house.

Jiang Jiahua asked curiously: "Your English is so good, how did you learn it?" ”

"Does it matter how you learn? As long as I can't. Gu Xiaobei didn't like to gossip about his private affairs with strangers, so he said lightly.

Jiang Jiahua was stunned for a moment, looking at this slightly immature face with incommensurate composure, calmness and wisdom, he couldn't help but be interested: "In the evening, can I have an honor to invite you to dinner?" ”

"I'm sorry, I have something, I'm afraid I can't." Gu Xiaobei decisively refused, she has always been able to distinguish between life and work.

"Okay, you go back and wait for me to believe it, and I'll let you know if it works out or not." Jiang Jiahua was not annoyed, and said with a smile.

"Then it's troublesome for Editor-in-Chief Jiang." Gu Xiaobei said politely, the attitude is not humble and not flattering. If you are too humble, you will make the other party think that you are in a hurry and deliberately lower your demands.

Jiang Jiahua sent Gu Xiaobei downstairs and was at the door of the publishing house: "Have you bought the train ticket?" ”

"Bought it." In fact, Gu Xiaobei hasn't told Liu Hongbing to buy tomorrow's tickets.

"Then I'll send one tomorrow, there are a lot of people, it's not good to squeeze into the car." Jiang Jiahua said politely.

"No, my lover asked his comrades to send me." Gu Xiaobei politely refused.

Jiang Jiahua was stunned, and almost forgot that Gu Xiaobei was married, and such a young and beautiful girl was already someone else's.

Jiang Jiahua was a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "Okay, next time I come to the provincial capital, I must give me a chance, please have a meal, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

"Okay, next time." Gu Xiaobei felt that the next time he could come, he could sign a contract, and it would be reasonable to have a meal together.

Gu Xiaobei said goodbye to Jiang Jiahua, thinking about going back to the guest house first, calling Liu Hongbing, and telling her that he would go back tomorrow, if he didn't think that it would not be easy to come to the provincial capital, he really wanted to go back tonight.

At this time, the department store closed at 6 p.m., so it's past four o'clock now, and there is no time to turn around. I can only go shopping for a good day tomorrow and catch the evening train back.

Jiang Jiahua looked at Gu Xiaobei's distant back, who was wearing a plain cloth skirt and his hair was pulled back at will, and he felt moved.

Jiang Jiahua, who is almost 30 years old this year, has always been arrogant, wants to pursue the so-called platonic love, and is reluctant to find an ordinary girl to marry. Today I finally met a girl who was excited, but unfortunately she was married.

Gu Xiaobei arrived at the guest house and called Liu Hongbing on the guest house phone, telling him that he wanted to buy a train ticket for tomorrow night.

hung up the phone and tried to call Lu Zhanguo's office again, but I didn't know if he was in the office.

When the phone was connected, and Lu Zhanguo's sexy and deep voice came, Gu Xiaobei giggled: "Are you waiting for my call?" ”

"Well, I'm afraid you're not used to it alone." For the first time, Lu Zhan Guo realized that it was so uncomfortable to wait for someone in place, how did Gu Xiaobei survive after he had been gone for so long before, and there was no news. (To be continued.) )
