Chapter Forty-Six: A Good Bird Should Choose a Tree to Perch On

As soon as the first class on the second day of school ended, Lin Na fulfilled the promise she made to Zhang Jiaming yesterday.

Lin Na took out a rectangular paper bag from her schoolbag, "Zhang Jiaming, this is an eight-hundred-and-fifty yuan foreign exchange volume, you can count it." ”

"No need, your character is completely trustworthy!" Zhang Jiaming directly stuffed it into his schoolbag, and at the same time took out another paper bag from his schoolbag and handed it to Lin Na, "This is eight hundred and fifty yuan, and you have also done it." ”

Lin Na also stuffed it directly into her school bag, "Although your character is problematic, but this time I will trust you for the time being." ”

Zhang Jiaming almost didn't catch it in one breath, and he didn't come and be rude, I praised you before, why do you have to praise it back?

Only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise, and the ancients did not deceive me! For the sake of the face of the 850 yuan foreign exchange volume, I put up with it.

The second class was supposed to be a Chinese class, but after the class bell rang, it was Teacher Chen, who taught music, who walked in, and she explained to her classmates: "Teacher Zhou and I have changed the class, this class is a music class, Zhang Jiaming, you go to the office, Teacher Zhou has something to do with you." ”

"Teacher Chen, I see." Zhang Jiaming agreed, and when he left, he subconsciously pushed his schoolbag into the hole.

Zhang Jiaming pushed the door into the third-grade office and saw Mr. Zhou talking to two middle-aged men with a pleasant face, one of the men was wearing a gray woolen cap, and the other man was wearing a woolen octagonal hat on his head, and there was a small tail at the top of the hat.

Seeing Zhang Jiaming push the door in, Teacher Zhou smiled and beckoned to him, "Zhang Jiaming is here!" ”

The two cultural people had already stood up from their seats with smiles on their faces, and they both stretched out their hands, looking at the situation, they all wanted to compete for the first time to shake hands with Zhang Jiaming, Zhang Jiaming was not offended, and at the same time raised his hands and stretched out his front while walking, Zhang Jiaming felt that his posture was a bit like a zombie!

Zhang Jiaming's two small hands were tightly held by two pairs of big hands, and the cap took the lead in introducing himself, "I am the editor of the "Juvenile Literature and Art" Publishing House in Suzhou Province, my surname is Niu, you can call me Niu. ”

Well, if your surname is Lu, the price in the health care product market must be at least doubled!

"Hello Bullwhip!" Zhang Jiaming said politely.

The cultural hat also introduced himself with a southern accent, "Even the editor of Huhai's "Juvenile Literature and Art" Publishing House, even surnamed Hu, you can call it even Hu." ”

"Hello nonsense!" What's going on? How did two "Juvenile Literature and Art" publishing houses come out of nowhere?

Zhang Jiaming sped up his brain, oh! I have the impression that there are two different publishing houses for "Juvenile Literature and Art", but I am not sure, and now the two Niu Bian and Hu Bian in front of him confirmed to him that this is indeed the case.

Niu Bian said: "I was entrusted by our editor-in-chief to come here to discuss the next step of development with you. Zhang Jiaming, your unbridled imagination has deeply impressed those of us who have been editors all our lives, and your writing is also older than your actual age, even compared with some adult authors! Zhang Jiaming, your last article was published in our journal, I hope you can continue to submit to us, the manuscript fee refers to the standard of first-line old authors, five points per word, what do you think? ”

"Thank you! I'll seriously consider it! Zhang Jiaming replied ambiguously, not nodding, not refusing.

Hu Bian from Huhai couldn't hold back his anger, "Zhang Jiaming, good birds should choose trees to perch on!" The publishing house is in the largest and most developed city in the motherland, Huhai! We can provide you with a better development prospect, if you are willing to vote for the next article, the publisher will give you six points per word, you should think about it! ”

Before Zhang Jiaming could express his position, Niu Bian was already unhappy with this colleague, "Old Hu, how can you talk?" What do you mean by a good bird choosing a tree to perch on? The circulation of our publishing house last month was 8 million copies, and you only had more than 5 million copies, which is much less than ours. ”

"Oh, old cow! The puppets are all cultural people, why are you so vulgar and pinched? Niang Xipi! What a humiliation! ”

Two cultural people representing different interest groups, a disagreement in the office quarreled, the side of the check Zhou saw that things were not good, quickly became a peacemaker, after some persuasion, the two cultural talents temporarily silenced.

Edited Niu said to Zhang Jiaming: "Zhang Jiaming, I will now increase your remuneration to eight cents per word on behalf of our publishing house!" ”

Hu Bian rolled his eyes in anger, pointed to the phone on the desk and asked Mr. Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, can this phone call be a long-distance call?" ”

Teacher Zhou shook his head, "No, this phone can only call local numbers, and only the phone in the principal's office in our school can make long-distance calls." ”

"Got it!" Hu Bian hurriedly walked out of the office with his briefcase, and did not forget to tell him before going out, "Classmate Zhang Jiaming, come here if you go evenly, you are waiting for a puppet." ”

Zhang Jiaming guessed that the remuneration of eight cents per word that Niu Bian had just given himself was beyond the authority of Hu Bian, and he must have called his editor-in-chief to report the situation here.

Seeing that his competitors went out, Niu Bian hurriedly seized the time to do Zhang Jiaming's ideological work, Zhang Jiaming still did not nod, did not refuse, he held in his heart the purpose of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, good birds should choose trees and perch! Even if he is a shrewd businessman in the middle of the word!

Hu Bian went for five minutes, and then came back in a hurry, looking at the look on his face, he must have received the holy decree and returned.

Sure enough, before this Hu editor's ass touched the chair, he began to announce the decree, "Zhang Jiaming, I just talked to the editor-in-chief of the puppets on the phone, and the editor-in-chief of the puppets gave you a dime per word, how about Zhang Jiaming, you should be satisfied with this price, right?" ”

Zhang Jiaming still has an ambiguous attitude, a good bird must choose a tree and perch on it!

"Zhang Jiaming, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, wait for me, I'll go back!" Niu Bian also hurriedly left the office with his briefcase.

Niu Bian knocked on the door of the principal's office and heard the shouting inside, "Please come in!" So he pushed the door in, "Hello Comrade Headmaster! I am the editor of the "Juvenile Literature and Art" publishing house, my surname is Niu, I want to borrow your office phone to make a long-distance call, sorry, I bother you. ”

"Didn't an editor surnamed Hu from a juvenile literary publishing house call just now? Aren't you all in one piece? The principal also showed great enthusiasm and respect for the staff of the publishing house, which is very well-known throughout the country, and asked in a very kind manner.

Niu Bian explained: "I am from the "Juvenile Literature and Art" Publishing House in Suzhou Province, and the editor Hu just now is from the Huhai "Juvenile Literature and Art" Publishing House, not one, not one. ”

"Did your publishing house also come to talk to the classmate named Zhang Jiaming in the third and second classes about the manuscript?" The principal asked.

"It's a drop!" Niu Bian nodded, sat down next to the telephone and began to dial the telephone dial.

Although the principal's face is calm, but his heart is turbulent, whether it is this one in Suzhou Province or the one in Shanghai, it is a large publishing house with a high reputation in the country, but today it is gathered in his own primary school, and it is just to catch up with a student named Zhang Jiaming to make an appointment, hey! Why is the name Zhang Jiaming a little familiar?

The principal was still wondering where Zhang Jiaming's child was, and Niu Bian had already reported what happened here to his immediate boss, "What? Editor-in-chief, you mean to give Zhang Jiaming a dime and two cents per word! Are you sure? Oh, okay, do as you instructed, but this price is already on an equal footing with Ba Jin and the great writers who contradict them. Well, well, I'll report back to you anytime if there's a problem. ”

Niu Bian put down the phone and said to the stunned principal: "Thank you, principal, I have to say goodbye in advance, if you have time to go to Jinling to play, you must remember to call me, I will come to receive you in person." ”

Seeing Niu Bian hurriedly push the door out, the principal also stretched his brows and followed out of his office, he became extremely interested in Zhang Jiaming, who was comparable to the great writer.
