Chapter 54, the first pot of gold

Chen Qian's cold came and went quickly, and she was already much better the next morning, except for a few dozes from time to time and a little blocked nose, she was able to go to school normally.

This morning, she finished breakfast early, deliberately chose her favorite hairpin, dressed up very beautifully, and just waited for Chen Xueqian to come over and go to school together.

After a while, Chen Xueqian came from the thick fog of winter, Chen Qian looked happy, and greeted her with a little shyness, but Chen Xueqian only nodded to her lightly.

Chen Qian suddenly seemed to be poured a basin of cold water on her head, and her enthusiasm cooled down. She looked at Chen Xueqian, who was absent-minded, and felt a sense of grievance in her heart.

It turns out that last night's qiē was just his own delusion, was it just his own wishful thinking?

For a while, Chen Qianqing was a little depressed, and walked silently beside Chen Xueqian.

And Chen Xueqian was still thinking about the strange memories that suddenly appeared in his mind. This kind of thing that is completely contrary to common sense makes him very burdened. He didn't know exactly what this qiē meant to him.

Thinking about things in his heart, he didn't notice at all, because of his attitude, Chen Qian mistakenly thought that he was going to regret it. It was a deliberate attempt to snub her.

Walking silently all the way, he walked nearly halfway through the journey, and when he came to an arched bridge, the phone in Chen Xueqian's pocket suddenly rang.

Chen Xueqian, who was in a trance, was taken aback, and it took him a while before he realized that his mobile phone was ringing. Hurriedly took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID.

There are only a few people who know his number, and they don't usually call themselves. Someone called him early in the morning, there must be something.

The call was from Jack. Chen Xueqian was slightly surprised, and immediately heard the other party shouting excitedly: "Dear sam, I have good news for you, your first week's manuscript fee has come down." Guess how many? ”

Chen Xueqian was stunned, the Japanese manuscript fee could not be settled until half a year later, so he habitually thought that the United States was the same, but he didn't expect the other party to settle it every week.

"Five million?" Chen Xueqian still welcomes this news. No one is afraid of a lot of money!

The cost of manuscripts in the United States is similar to that in Japan, and is divided into 10 to 20 percent of the retail price of a single copy. A paperback version of a novel retails for about $20, and a hardcover version for about $40.

The Hunger Games sold a staggering 1.5 million copies in its first week, including 50 copies in hardcover. Chen Xueqian guessed that the manuscript fee was carefully calculated by him.

However, he is not a professional after all, and there will inevitably be mistakes and omissions in his calculations.

Sure enough, Jack laughed out loud after listening to the figures he gave: "Sam, it's not just that, your manuscript fee this time is a full 6 million US dollars." Don't ask me how I figured it out, Fanny did it for you and the publisher. Now she's your number one fan! ”

Chen Xueqian was happy when he heard this, "Have you already called?" Chen Xueqian asked.

"Of course, dear sam, you're a millionaire now!" Jack's exaggerated American accent made Chen Xueqian laugh.

"I'm afraid Jack, you didn't make any less, did you?" Chen Xueqian happily ridiculed.

The joy in Jack's voice couldn't be hidden. "TOEFL TOEFL!"

After chatting a few more words, Chen Xueqian hung up the phone. When I turned my head, I found that Chen Qian on the side was looking at me with a strange expression.

Chen Xueqian smiled at her, thought about it, and didn't shy away from her, and directly dialed Bai Feifei's phone.

The manuscript fee was received, but there were many follow-up things, he had to file a tax return, and this tax return was because it involved tax issues in the United States. So Chen Xueqian decisively threw this trouble to Bai Feifei.

The identity of the other party is more suitable than him, and the other party can also save him a lot of trouble when he goes out. With such a convenient way, how could he let it go.

It took a while for the phone to ring.

Bai Feifei on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little out of breath. It's just that Chen Xueqian didn't think much about it. Straight to the point.

"Big sister, there's something I want to trouble you."

Bai Feifei is still the same demon personality. Meat and vegetarian smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Can I help you find a parent-in-law teacher? Do you want to send her a love letter or a flower? ”

Chen Xueqian didn't pick up her stubble, and said to himself: "My manuscript fee from the United States has been called." As you know, the money will definitely go through the tax authorities. I'm not familiar with this area, and it's not appropriate for me to come forward. ”

Before Chen Xueqian finished speaking, Bai Feifei interjected with courtesy: "So you want me to help you run the formalities?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Xueqian is not dragging mud and water, it should be directly.

"I'm not going to run in vain!" Bai Feifei finally revealed the reason why she was suddenly attentive.

"Of course, I'll pay you five percent of the total!" Chen Xueqian also expected it.

In many cases, doing business with friends is far less convenient and reliable than doing business with friends in the business field.

So from the very beginning, Chen Xueqian set the relationship between the two of them as a cooperative relationship. He asked the other party to do a thing, and he should pay the corresponding reward.

"Five percent, little man, how much do you pay for your manuscript? Won't let me run once is not enough to pay off, right? Bai Feifei did not agree immediately, but instead asked about Chen Xueqian's manuscript fee.

"I'll tell you that for every book I sell in the United States, I earn more than $4 after taxes. My novel sold 1.5 million copies in the first week, how much do you think I was paid? ”

Bai Feifei on the other end of the phone was completely stunned, and there was only the sound of stabbing and stabbing electricity on the phone for a while.

"Wow, you're getting rich overnight, no, does the little man still lack a warm bed and a quilt? Otherwise, I'll be your concubine!" Hmm~" Bai Feifei said halfway, and suddenly let out a muffled snort.

Chen Xueqian didn't care, he continued: "Not only this matter, but also the second volume of "My Youth Love Story" is really problematic, when you go back and get the book signing contract in the United States, bring back the translation together." It will be released almost after the Chinese New Year! ”

Bai Feifei was pleasantly surprised, "Really? It's so good that I've been looking forward to the follow-up for a long time, but I'm looking forward to it. ”

Bai Feifei's words made no secret of his love for this book, which satisfied Chen Xueqian's vanity.

"When are you free to teach me Japanese?" Chen Xueqian suddenly said again after explaining the matter.

"Hey, why did you suddenly want to learn Japanese?" Bai Feifei was surprised when he heard this.

"Isn't that going to Japan after all? I thought that when someone interviewed me and scolded me in Japanese, I wouldn't understand it, and that would be stupid. That's why I wanted to learn Japanese for my own use. ”

Chen Xueqian explained slightly, but Bai Feifei instantly grasped the point.

"You're finally willing to go to Japan? That's great. Today is really good news. Bai Feifei was excited, and kissed wildly on the phone.

Chen Xueqian was furious by her somewhat seductive kiss, and couldn't help but scold: "Goblin! Then he hung up the phone directly, he really didn't want to listen to the other party tossing him anymore.

After hanging up the phone this time, Chen Qian on the side stared at him with a shocked face, as if he was looking at a stranger he didn't know at all.

Countless questions swirled in Chen Qian's heart.

How could he have a cell phone? Just listened to what he said on the phone, he wrote a novel in the United States? Even Japan has a relationship?

This qiē came so suddenly, Chen Qian couldn't accept it at all, and she even felt that these were all stories made up by Chen Xueqian.

But looking at Chen Xueqian, who was calm on the side, she faintly felt that the other party was probably not making it up.

For a while, Chen Qian was stunned by this completely unexpected news, and couldn't move on the spot.

On the other side, Bai Feifei just hung up the phone, and her round and straight ass was slapped by someone.

"Ah, you still say that you are not interesting to others, and you are not interesting to him, why don't you allow me to tease him?" Bai Feifei was full of grievances.

Turning her head, she was with Gu Qingying, who she hadn't seen for many days.

"He's still a kid!" Gu Qingying said indifferently. Recently, her temperament has become more and more ethereal, and it always makes people feel that she doesn't seem to have any love.

Bai Feifei looked at her in disbelief and said, "Then he is also a child worth millions." ”

"Do you really lack this money?" Gu Qingying asked helplessly.

"Why is there no shortage, there is no surplus grain in the landlord's family these years. And he can make money so much at such a young age, his future is simply limitless, how can such a good high-quality stock be missed? ”

Bai Feifei said with a straight face.

Gu Qingying couldn't help but break the fairy aura by her friend, and rolled her eyes: "You just want to hear me say that you are not allowed to beat him, right?" ”

Bai Feifei smiled when he heard this, "I just don't believe it, you really have no thoughts and feelings for him?" Are you really ready not to communicate again? ”

Gu Qingying looked at her friend and sighed.

"It's impossible for us!" ――
