Chapter 138 Five-year contract
Xiao Hongwen accepted the fact in front of him with difficulty, and talked seriously about the signing.
"In the past five years, your work has been contracted by our Hengrui Publishing House, if published, I hope you will consider Hengrui first, this is the only condition for us to sign a contract." Xiao Hongwen said the good words he had talked to his father earlier.
After the father and son learned that Ye Jinglan was going to write a series of stories, the two were very excited, a series can lead to countless stories, as long as the author is willing, he can write countless stories.
And as long as the quality of these stories is as good as this first book, then they will not worry about selling, and for a good publishing house, what is missing is a good author.
As soon as Ye Jinglan heard this request, she gladly accepted it, an author can get the strong help of the publishing house, and the publishing house can get all kinds of profits brought by the author, naturally everyone is happy, plus there is a relationship between her master Wang Xuemin, which can be regarded as fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Then Ye Jinglan asked her mother to sign a five-year contract with Hengrui Publishing House, and the first 100,000 words of manuscript were handed over to the chief editor of the publishing house in the form of electronic files, and he would correct and typeset.
"If it can be finished by the end of March as you said, we will print it in April and strive to put it on the shelves on the first Friday." As soon as Xiao Hongwen thought of the future possibilities of this book, he longed that the day it would be on the shelves would be tomorrow.
"It should be fine, but I hope that the publishing house will not reveal my identity for the time being, after all, I am still a student, and I mainly focus on my studies." Like writing songs, Ye Jinglan doesn't want to be famous too early and attract too much attention.
"Okay, let's take the mysterious route first." Xiao Hongwen also felt that Ye Jinglan's age was too young, although he could also use this to hype, but he was not a black-hearted businessman after all, and he knew that hype could only be temporary, and it would cause a lot of controversy, so it was better to keep a low profile and be ready to give everyone a big surprise.
The day when the ice and snow gradually melted arrived, signaling that the day of school had also arrived, and the person who said that he would rush back before the joy did not come back, and I heard that he had transferred to Hong Kong Island and would not be able to return for another week.
"How about it, this week, do you want to follow my brother and me?" Fang Hao said with a charming smile.
"Hehe, where am I embarrassed to delay your date with a beautiful woman!" Ye Jinglan had already seen Wu Tingyuan who was walking towards her, she raised her eyebrows, and gave Fang Hao a look of self-begging.
"It's okay, I'll have lunch with you, anyway, this is not on campus now, and I won't see you at noon." Fang Hao smiled indifferently and said as if Wu Tingyuan didn't exist.
Ye Jinglan read the trace of helplessness from Fang Hao's indifferent smile, so she nodded in agreement, anyway, now she doesn't like to eat on the complicated first floor, and it is a bit of a waste to eat alone on the second floor.
"Ye Jinglan, I have something to do with Fang Hao, you go eat by yourself." Wu Tingyuan naturally heard the conversation between the two, so she ordered so unceremoniously.
"Yes! You let him choose for himself, whether he wants to talk to you or eat with me! Ye Jinglan naturally wouldn't obey such a non-threatening order, shrugged her shoulders and handed over the decision to Fang Hao.
"Of course, it's a meal! Let's go, I'm so hungry! Fang Hao gave Ye Jinglan a satisfied look, and then directly crossed the angry Wu Tingyuan and said.
"Fang Hao" Wu Tingyuan couldn't say anything more angrily, so she could only watch Fang Hao's back walk upstairs.
But Ye Jinglan didn't leave immediately, she thought for a while, and still said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with accepting fate, let your self-esteem and ambition not be willing to sit down around the table together, shake hands, smile, in order not to be in pain anymore." ”
"Hmph, it's best that when Xiang Shaofan leaves you one day, you can say this to yourself." Wu Tingyuan naturally didn't think that the two of them could go to the end, and she waited to see if the woman would come out with a smile on that day.
"Even if he leaves, our situation is different from yours, at least we loved and were together." Ye Jinglan knew that it still didn't make sense, so she didn't waste her tongue, followed the flow of people, and also walked upstairs.
"Yuanyuan, let's go eat too!" Wu Tingyuan's female classmate came over and said distressedly, in their opinion, Fang Hao was in the midst of happiness and did not know the blessing.
"I heard that Wu Tingyuan is chasing Fang Hao, alas, haven't you dealt with Fang Hao? How about it, he didn't mention it? "The cafeteria is always the place where the gossip is fullest.
"Cut, she is a young lady, Fang Hao's kind of person doesn't like it the most, how can she agree, you see, they can't be together." A girl who had dated Fang Hao smiled coldly.
"That's hard to say! I know that the relationship between the two parents is very good, and it is very likely that they will get married! Not to be outdone, the other girl broke the news she knew.
Fang Hao and Ye Jinglan, who ate too much fish and meat during the Chinese New Year, chose the same vegetarian cuisine very tacitly.
"I thought you'd persuade me to obey." Fang Hao was still surprised by Ye Jinglan's attitude just now, after all, most of the people around him would persuade him to be with Wu Tingyuan, and the reason was nothing more than that he had a good family background, was beautiful, and most importantly, he loved him.
"Why do you want to persuade you, whether you want to be together or not, that's your own business, what does it have to do with me?" Ye Jinglan deliberately said very coldly, because saying words that understood him would only make the atmosphere awkward.
"That's right, let's eat!" Fang Hao nodded, returning to his previous playful attitude.
Then the two did not eat together the next day, because He Jiamei said that she wanted to go to the second floor to eat, and Ye Jinglan was the one who invited the guests.
He Jiamei helped her a lot last semester, and inviting her to dinner was regarded as a reward.
"Wow, pure French food, I've been hungry for a long time, it's interesting." He Jiamei raised her thumbs while eating the appetizer.
"Actually, it can continue to be interesting tomorrow, but it depends on whether you have any news that I am paying attention to." Although Ye Jinglan said this, she actually really wanted to invite the other party to eat something else, but she was really not good at expressing her meaning well.
"Actually, there is really one thing, but everyone doesn't take it seriously, some people say that there is a song in Zhang Tianwang's latest album that you created." He Jiamei looked at Ye Jinglan's eyes seriously, and said word by word, she didn't believe the news, but she couldn't help but say it at this time.
Ye Jinglan frowned, and didn't ask the other party where she heard about it, because she was thinking about who the news would come from, although some Hong Kong Island media reported that he was a creator in the mainland, but it was impossible to talk about himself because of this, the only possibility could only be internal, such as Li Haochen, who gradually moved away from them.
"Really?" Seeing that the other party did not refute, He Jiamei opened her eyes wide and asked excitedly. (To be continued.) )
