"What did you just say?"

Zhou Xiaoyun settled down and asked Zhou Yun. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Yun's tone softened slightly: "Auntie! I ask you, have you received any submissions for Iwami's new book? Is there any? ”

"Iwami's new book submission?"

Zhou Xiaoyun frowned slightly: "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" How? Did he publish a new book? Isn't "Smiling Proud Jianghu" still being published? It's not the last episode! Right? ”

There is no need to ask anymore, my aunt's expression and answer gave Zhou Yun an answer, which made Zhou Yun shatter all the luck that was beneficial to Kyushu's reading, leaving only the last possibility she least wanted to appear - Zhao Yan submitted the manuscript of the new book to other publishing houses.

Zhou Yun was a little disappointed and a little frustrated, and explained to Zhou Xiaoyun depressedly: "Auntie! Iwami's new book has been published on his own website, the book is called "Tianlong Babu", which was released last night, I just asked Sister Xia and Xiang Bin about them, and they both said that they did not receive Iwami's new book submission, and you did not receive his contribution here, aunt! You know what that means, right? Iwami's new book is likely to have been signed to another publisher! Otherwise, if his new book hasn't been published yet, how could it be posted on the website first? How much money can I make on the site? Alas! I don't know if someone else gave him a high price, or if he himself was not satisfied with our previous cooperation, and he voted for another website himself! ”

Zhou Xiaoyun frowned and listened to all of Zhou Yun's words, and after listening, she didn't speak immediately, but frowned, her eyes rolled slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Auntie! Why don't you call him yourself? What if he has only submitted to another publishing house and has not signed a contract yet! ”

Seeing that her aunt could still calm down, Zhou Yun was a little anxious again.

Zhou Xiaoyun groaned slightly, reached out to get the phone on the desk, and said, "It's okay!" I asked. ”

Zhou Xiaoyun took out a phone book from the drawer, and while looking through Zhao Yan's contact information, she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun was able to find out that Iwami's new book was published in such a timely manner, which made her feel a little surprised, and she also praised it, Zhou Yun's work attitude is worthy of affirmation.

According to the number on the phone book, Zhou Xiaoyun skillfully dialed out.

The phone rang only twice, and then it was hung up.

"Don't pick up?"

Zhou Xiaoyun's brows furrowed again, and she directly refused to answer her call, which surprised her, and her heart sank, guessing whether Iwami had already signed a contract with another publishing house, so he didn't want to answer her call.

"Don't pick up?"

Zhou Yun was stunned at first, then thought about it, and hesitated to guess: "Auntie!" Is it because he is in class, so it is inconvenient to answer your call? ”

Zhou Xiaoyun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, nodded slightly, and smiled: "Maybe!" You don't say it, I almost forgot that he was still a student, and he should be in class at this time! ”

After a pause, Zhou Xiaoyun looked at Zhou Yun and said, "That's it!" I'll write you his mobile phone number, and at noon, you call him to try it, probe his tone, and find out the current situation of his new book, whether it has been signed with another publishing house, or has it not been signed yet, or what other situation, if it has signed with another company, you can find out the reason why he signed it with another company, is it unpleasant when you cooperate with us? Or did someone else offer a price he couldn't refuse? Or for some other reason, if you haven't signed it yet, then tell him that we Kyushu Reading hope to continue to cooperate with him, as for the specific price...... We will give us sincerity based on the quality of his new book manuscript! ”

Zhou Yun hurriedly nodded: "Okay!" I see, Auntie! Anyway, I'll be sure to call him until he answers the phone today! ”

Zhou Xiaoyun nodded approvingly, and even picked up the signature pen at hand, copied Zhao Yan's mobile phone number on the notepad, and then tore off the sticky note paper and handed it to Zhou Yun.

When Zhou Yun immediately stepped forward to take it with both hands, Zhou Xiaoyun advised: "Remember! Whatever the situation, let me know as soon as possible! This Iwami has a lot of potential! With the fame accumulated from the previous few books, the sales of his new books will not be bad! ”

Zhou Yun: "I know! Aunt! I'll definitely do my best! ”

"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”

"Good!"

……

Zhou Yun guessed one thing, that is, when Zhou Xiaoyun called just now, Zhao Yan was indeed in class, and it was the tutor Weng Zhijian's class, as soon as the mobile phone rang, many people in the class looked at him, including Weng Zhijian on the podium.

Many people's brows are furrowed, and the disgust is obvious.

This is also a normal situation, under normal circumstances, during class, everyone's mobile phone is turned off, in class, no matter whose mobile phone rings, it will directly affect the atmosphere of the classroom, and the coherence of the lecture, even if the teacher's mobile phone rings in the classroom, under normal circumstances, the teacher will apologize, and directly turn off the mobile phone.

Zhao Yan used his mobile phone to log in with his sword qi during class today, and looked at the situation of "Dragon Babu", so he forgot to turn off his mobile phone during class.

When the mobile phone rang, Zhao Yan's first reaction was to frown in disgust, and then he found that it was his own mobile phone ringing, and when he saw the counselor Weng Zhijian's uncertain gaze, Zhao Yan smiled, quickly took out his mobile phone and refused to answer the call first, and then directly turned off the mobile phone.

He didn't even have time to pay attention to who was calling, only that it was a landline number.

"Again! Before class, turn off your phone! Alright, let's move on to class! Seeing Zhao Yan's quick response, Weng Zhijian withdrew his gaze, reiterated the classroom rules, and continued to lecture.

Zhao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the mobile phone rang in the counselor's class, which made him nervous, especially now that he was about to take the final exam.

Zhang Peng next to him quietly gave Zhao Yan a thumbs up, pursed his lips and snickered.

The eldest grandson Xia Qiu and Xi Fang at the front table also quietly glanced back at Zhao Yan one after another, the eldest grandson Xia Qiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, Xi Fang was cold-eyed, for the smile of the eldest grandson Xia Qiu, Zhao Yan smiled back, Xi Fang's cold eyes, Zhao Yan glared back directly, he was not used to her stinky problem, and he was not his person.

While eating in the cafeteria at noon, Zhao Yan received a call from Zhou Yun.

At that time, Zhang Peng, Xing Zheng, Li Yan, Nian Xiaobai and others next to Zhao Yan were talking about the latest current affairs news - South Korean sticks held a sit-in demonstration in Seoul, strongly demanding the restoration of the motherland.

Zhang Peng and others are talking about it as a joke, South Korea has long been conquered by the Ming Dynasty, and the original South Korea has already become a Korean nationality and a nation of the Ming Dynasty, but almost every year, there are some undead sticks calling for the reconstruction of the homeland, which was rejected by the Ming Emperor again and again, but he always did not give up.

When the mobile phone rang, Zhao Yan raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet first, and then connected to the call.

"Who?"

Zhao Yan chewed a piece of back pot meat in his mouth and asked casually.

Zhao Yan heard the sound of a deep breath on his phone, and then heard a young woman's voice introduce herself: "Ah, hello! My name is Zhou Yun, uh, that's it! I'm the editor of Kyushu Reading, are you Iwami himself? ”

Zhao Yan noticed that Nian Xiaobai and the others were looking at him curiously, listening attentively one by one.

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows at them, reached out and rubbed Zhang Peng's head beside him, a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Oh, hello! Yes! I'm Iwami! Is there anything wrong? ”

Unlike before, every time he talked to the editor of the publishing house on the phone, Zhao Yan would always feel a little nervous unconsciously, but now! Now it's different from the past, he has successfully published several books, and has achieved outstanding sales, and has sold the film and television adaptation rights of three works, so now when he talks to the editor of the publishing house, Zhao Yan is already very relaxed, he is confident that even if he inadvertently offends a publishing house, with his current fame and the quality of the new book, there must be other publishing houses willing to pay a good price to sign his new book.

This is the confidence brought by success again and again!

Self-confidence does not mean that you can be confident if you want to be confident, but it needs to be successfully cultivated again and again.

Zhou Yun: "Oh, hello, hello! Iwami, Mr. Iwami! That's right, we noticed that your new book "Dragon Babu" has been published on your personal website, right? ”

Hearing this, the corners of Zhao Yan's mouth curled slightly, and he said secretly: Not bad! I didn't expect the news of Kyushu reading to be so well-informed, and as soon as Lao Tzu's new book was published in three chapters, they noticed it! These guys aren't going to be following me all the time, are they? Values me so much?

Pay attention to it!

Zhao Yan's eyes rolled, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker, and he realized that the opportunity for his new book to increase in price again had come! Kyushu Reading pays so much attention to his dynamics, as soon as his new book is released, the other party will know about it the next day, obviously wanting to continue to cooperate with him, even for a long time.

Kyushu Reading should have tasted the sweetness on his "Smiling Proud Jianghu", since the other party wants his new book so much, if you don't take this opportunity to raise the price more, I'm sorry that Kyushu Reading attaches so much importance to him!

Zhao Yan: "Well, yes! Published yesterday! What's wrong? ”

Zhou Yun: "Well, our editor-in-chief called you this morning, but you may not have been able to answer at that time, so the editor-in-chief gave me the task of contacting you, so I must be sure to contact you!" ”

Zhou Yun, who was slightly nervous, inadvertently exposed their situation further.

Zhao Yan almost laughed.

Holding back a smile, Zhao Yan continued to pretend to be stupid: "Oh, that's it!" Right! I did see a phone call this morning, I was in class at the time, so I didn't answer, I didn't expect it to be the editor-in-chief of your publishing house, what a faux pas! ”

said rudeness, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, Nian Xiaobai rolled his eyes next to him, and whispered to Zhang Peng: "Hypocrisy! What a hypocrisy! ”

Zhang Peng and Li Yan nodded approvingly, and Xing Zheng also echoed: "And it's shameless!" ”

Zhao Yan heard the whispers of contempt from a few of them, but Zhao Yan didn't feel that this was an insult at all, his mood was even better, he glanced at them with smiling eyes, Zhao Yan tilted his chin slightly, and his pride was undoubted, which made Zhang Peng, Nian Xiaobai and others even more angry.

Zhou Yun: "Uh, it's okay! Our editor-in-chief also guessed that you might not be able to answer the phone at that time, so I gave me the task of contacting you as soon as possible, Mr. Iwami! Has your new book, "Dragon Babu", been signed by another publisher? ”

"Hmm......"

Zhao Yan groaned slightly, and said, "Not yet!" ”

"Huh? Are you sure? ”

In Zhou Yun's exclamation, the surprise could be directly felt by Zhao Yan through his mobile phone.

With a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhao Yan gave an affirmative answer: "Yes!" It's true. ”

Zhou Yun: "Then, why haven't you submitted a manuscript to our publishing house?" Don't you want to get your new book on the market as soon as possible and meet your book lovers? ”

Zhao Yan: "Hehe, don't worry! No hurry! I'll think again. ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Yun: "You, Mr. Iwami!" What else do you have to think about? Is there anything you didn't like about our previous cooperation? Or are you, you've already submitted to other publishers? Is that so? Mr. Iwami? ”

Zhao Yan suddenly felt that this woman named Zhou Yun was still very tender, Zhao Yan had never seen her, nor had he seen her photos, Zhao Yan felt that she was still very tender at this time, naturally not referring to her appearance, but her mind and business ability.

There is a green atmosphere in almost every sentence, if he is a senior editor, Zhao Yan believes that the other party's speech cannot be so unlevel, even if he wants to probe his thoughts, it will not be so direct, which makes Zhao Yan have a sense of superiority in IQ.

Smiling and shaking his head, Zhao Yan lost the interest of continuing to circle with her, and asked directly: "Miss Zhou!" Have you read my new book? ”

The topic suddenly turned here, Zhou Yun's voice was stagnant, and then he replied: "Well, the editor-in-chief hasn't read it yet, only I have read it at present, but the number of words you have published now is still small, and I only read one beginning......"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yun's voice was a little hesitant, probably not knowing what to say later.

Since Zhao Yan had lost the interest of continuing to circle with her, he went straight to the point: "Then what price can you give?" How much is a thousand words? ”

How much is a thousand words?

When Zhang Peng, Nian Xiaobai and others heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all subconsciously stared at the mobile phone in Zhao Yan's ear, they were absolutely curious about the price of Zhao Yan's new book!

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they all want to roughly judge how big the gap between them and Zhao Yan is now from the price of Zhao Yan's new book.

Zhao Yan is now the best writer in their class, at least in terms of popularity and market response, representing the highest level of their 44th writing class.

It's a pity that Zhou Yun's answer disappointed them.

Zhou Yun: "Uh, this...... Excuse me! I am only the preliminary editor, I have no right to give you a quotation, but our editor-in-chief asked me to tell you, she said that the specific price, you need to read your new book manuscript to decide, she promised to show the sincerity of our publishing house to let you see! Uh, do you think that's going to work? You send us tens of thousands of words of text, and when our review is over, we will give you a quotation, do you think this is okay? (To be continued.) )
