The prank designed by Li Dong was very punctual and was approved by Zhang Tan.

It's just that the results are a bit biased.

"I knew that 'girls would fall into the arms of boys because they were afraid' would only happen in movies!" After turning off the electric switch, Li Dong complained in annoyance.

None of them.

Gao Jie and Zhu Dandan were not frightened at all, on the contrary, they felt very good watching horror movies.

It was Cao Yuchuan who was frightened by the tall man, a scream could puncture the eardrum, it was hard to imagine that a tall man with one meter and eight heads was so frightened by horror movies that he screamed, and even after pushing the electric switch again, he didn't dare to watch horror movies. The whole person was a little frightened.

Naturally, Li Dong's dream came to naught.

All in all, this night is destined to be unforgettable.

The next day, Zhang Tan gave Gao Jie a big cake with the words "Happy 17th birthday to Gao Jie". Gao Jie is seventeen years old, she is one year older than Zhang Tan, in fact, it is rare for Zhang Tan to study at the age of seven, and many rural children only go to school at the age of eight or nine.

Make a wish and blow out the candles.

The green years of the first year of high school ended in Gao Jie's birthday wish.

"Remember to make up classes during the summer vacation."

Before saying goodbye, Gao Jie and Zhu Dandan did not forget to tell Zhang Tan to study hard and strive to be admitted to the liberal arts fast class.

Their cognition of the people around them is still at the level of judging heroes by their academic performance, and they don't know, or don't know how developed Zhang Tan's books are now, and they have all been crowned by magazines as the leaders of mainland martial arts.

In fact, in this era, mobile phones are not popular, computers are rarer, and counseling is extremely underdeveloped, so students rely on the radio to listen to the news to understand the outside world. Zhang Tan deliberately kept a low profile, and did not spread the news that he had published a few books, and now everyone still thinks that Zhang Tan just published a book of "The Four Famous Capture of the Kanto", which is still a traditional version.

It is not clear how much money Zhang Tan earned by writing books, which seems to be quite a lot, but this concept of "more" is completely blank.

This is the limitation of the horizon, they have not experienced society, they have no idea where the money comes from.

watched Gao Jie, Zhu Dandan, and Cao Yuchuan get on the bus and leave.

Zhang Tan turned around and kicked Li Dong lightly: "You still don't want to go back?" ”

"I'll go back in the evening."

"So what are you doing now?"

"What about you?"

"I write books."

"Let's rest, let's go play billiards."

"I'm really going to write a book."

"Then why don't you go home and write?"

"I'll go back in a few days, and when I come home, there is no one to come home, my parents are working outside." Zhang Tan is telling the truth, his parents have to take care of the Internet café in Dayang Town, especially during the summer vacation, the Internet café is full, and it is inseparable from people for a moment.

Li Dong couldn't find anyone to be chic with, so he had to say, "Okay, I'll go home." ”

After Li Dong left, Zhang Tan cleaned up the house.

Sit back down in front of your laptop and type the keyword. It is true that he wants to stay here for a few more days, but not all because there is no one at home, in fact, there is no one at home, and there is no one here. He stayed here to interview for an assistant, and the advertisement in the "Ancient Legends: Martial Arts Edition" attracted many applicants.

After communicating by phone, I made an appointment with a few good Anwei applicants to meet in Heqi in the next few days. And Zhang Tan's father, Zhang Quanshun, will also rush over to help with the interview. came with Zhang Quanshun, and there was another person, who was a distant cousin of Tan Mingxia, named Tan Yingzhong.

Zhang Tan had to call Tan Yingzhong his cousin, he studied law and worked in a law firm.

This recruitment involved Zhang Tan handing over the publication of the novel to the assistant, the copyright was too important, Zhang Quanshun and Tan Mingxia were not at ease, so they contacted Tan Yingzhong and asked him to stare at Zhang Tan's contract with the assistant, and he must not be deceived. It just so happens that Zhang Tan also needs a law-related person to help check and fill in the gaps.

……

The application process starts the following week.

I met two or three people a day, then compared them, and finally chose a woman named Li Yan as an assistant.

Li Yan, Chinese New Year's Eve, graduated from Anshi University, currently works in the distribution department of Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House, has five years of experience in the publishing industry, and has handled the publishing of many literary books. She is not applying for a full-time assistant, but a part-time job, and she has no plans to quit her job at Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House.

Zhang Tan doesn't care whether the other party is full-time or part-time, after all, his current publishing business is not much, his works are scarce, there is no movement in various adaptations, and there is still little work. Recruit a part-time assistant to cope with the current workload. In fact, it is more appropriate to recruit an assistant than to recruit an agent.

Zhang Tan entrusted his publishing and other work to Li Yan's agent, which is regarded as an administrative assistant, similar to an agent, rather than a life assistant.

Since it is a part-time job, the basic salary is exempted, and the remuneration is calculated according to the commission.

After summing up, Li Yan was given a commission of three percentage points, which means that Zhang Tan's royalty income was divided into three percent as Li Yan's remuneration. This price is calculated according to the general publishing royalty rate, which is not high, on the contrary, it is a bit low, but there is room for maneuverability, that is, the more royalties, the more commissions.

If Li Yan will come and get more royalty tax share for Zhang Tan, then her own share will naturally be greatly increased. As long as Zhang Tan is satisfied with the royalties he strives for, he will be rewarded additionally.

In short, after the contract was signed, both parties were satisfied.

"Sister Li, please take care of me in the future." Putting away the contract, Zhang Tan stood up and shook hands with Li Yan.

Li Yan also smiled and said, "It should be that I thank Zhang Tan for your care." ”

At this time, Zhang Quanshun also said: "Li Yan, in the future, my son will publish his works, please leave it to you." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, I read Zhang Tan's novels before I applied for the job, the quality of his works is very high, and he is still young, and his future prospects are limitless, I will work hard to maximize the benefits of his works."

Zhang Quanshun said politely again: "Thank you, thank you." ”

The contract was signed.

Li Yan's first business followed, and Zhang Tan handed over the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to her to discuss with major publishing houses in detail. In the past, many publishing houses and booksellers approached Zhang Tan to buy the publishing rights, but Zhang Tan didn't agree to it, just to let professionals help him negotiate.

Professionals understand the various twists and turns in the publishing industry, tap into the maximum profits, and avoid all kinds of copyright barriers.

Stretching, Zhang Tan felt relaxed.

He doesn't have to worry about the publishing business, and can concentrate more on creation: "Now, the business chores that are full of copper smell should be handed over to someone to take care of." My goal should be to become an artist, to go out of the field and bargain with people, to buy and sell Chinese cabbage, too vulgar, too cheap, too low! ”

Improving his own style has always been Zhang Tan's unswerving goal.

Before being reborn, he was a layman, and after he was reborn, he couldn't repeat the old way, at least he had to use a literary fan to package himself. In this world, everyone is constantly improving their qualifications, all kinds of strength pretending to be forced, and not having the strength to pretend to be forced, if he Zhang Tan can't keep up with the pace, what kind of chic and comfortable can he talk about.

Live happily.

And Zhang Tan's happiness is to strive to improve his style and increase the interest of life, which is a meaningful thing for him.
