Chapter 41: Prepare in advance

Zhang Qiuxi left, and Hongdou naturally followed, and the two walked out of the hotel door Hongdou said: "Little sister, you have no intention of making peace with others at all, and you eat someone else's meal with peace of mind, is this really good?" ”

"You don't have to spend money on me, so why don't you eat it." Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders, and Hongdou said speechlessly: "You can't be ignorant and don't know if you want to defend against people, you obviously know that Yang Cheng is not a good person, but you still accept the invitation in order to cheat and eat and drink, what do you think?" ”

"Cut, just that kind of goods, I can hit ten of them at a time." Zhang Qiuxi was full of disdain for Yang Cheng, and then said: "Also, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be too lazy to come, how could it be said the other way around?" Just now, Yang Cheng gave you a lot of looks, and honestly explained whether he promised you benefits? ”

"I'm here because of you." Hongdou also said so, and then said: "Yang Cheng did promise me a lot of benefits, as long as I help convince you that the position of editor-in-chief is mine, in fact, I am quite moved." ”

Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders again and said, "That's really a pity." ”

Hongdou said: "So I can only compensate you if you have a chance, but now I should worry about how Yang Cheng will deal with you, presumably you don't think that things will end like this." ”

Of course, things will not end like this, after the collapse of the conversation, Yang Cheng quickly took a heartbeat, and when the new issue of the magazine was released, not only ushered in the ending of "Life, the Universe and a Qiē", but also the original short story "I, Jiqì People" in each issue was also published all at once.

Naturally, the readers are the most happy about this, this issue of "Fantasy World" has unprecedentedly exceeded 250,000 copies of sales, on the other hand, "Science Fiction Sky", although it serializes the new works of world famous artists, the sales are still less than 90,000.

"After the fantasy world was acquired, it was different, I didn't expect to have a big deal right away, I really hope that I can see so many works in the autumn in every issue in the future."

While readers are hotly discussing the two novels, they are full of expectations for "Fantasy World" after being acquired, and after such a play, people think that Huaguang Publishing Group has fulfilled its original promise and will let readers see more wonderful content.

In the eyes of the masses who don't know the truth, publishing so much content at one time seems to be Zhang Qiuxi expressing his support for Huaguang Publishing Group's acquisition of magazines, so he is also full of expectations for the new issue of the magazine.

"Let's guess what story will be serialized in the next issue of the magazine, and will there be a sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Personally, I really don't want this series to end like this, and I'd better keep it going forever. ”

After knowing this, Zhang Qiuxi could only lament: "What a terrible misunderstanding." ”

"But why would they do it?" Li Yue said that she was puzzled, she didn't feel sorry that the school trip was forced to be canceled, and she enjoyed following Zhang Qiuxi every day.

Hongdou explained to her: "Xiaoqiu's contract before is one year, and it won't expire until October, according to the previous length, I, the machine is enough to support the serialization during this time, and now it will all be published at once, and if she doesn't contribute to the magazine in the next few months, it will be a breach of contract." ”

"It turns out that they want to use this as coercion, Ah Qiu, then what do you want to do?" Li Yue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked Zhang Qiuxi with a little worry.

"This has been decided before, and I would rather pay liquidated damages." Zhang Qiuxi stretched her waist, and said indifferently, "Sister Hongdou, what about the lawyer I asked you to find?" ”

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten Jì, I've already made an appointment with her, and the time is estimated to be almost up."

Hongdou's voice has already come, and Zhang Qiuxi, who is taller than 1.7 meters, has slender and straight legs, a long single ponytail, and even her chest is two sizes bigger than her, full of aura.

Liangji is not in the company of the horse, the beauty of the friend is really also a beauty, and at the same time there is a hot figure, Zhang Qiuxi for the first time has a feeling of shame, although the appearance is not lost, but the height and milk volume are obviously completely exploded.

Wait, why do you feel this way, you are a man's heart, why do you want to compare the body of other women?

"Let me introduce to you, this is my good sister Shangguan Jin, a top student majoring in law who just graduated this year."

Sure enough, the compound surname sounded different, Zhang Qiuxi hurriedly stood up and said, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Zhang Qiuxi." ”

"Hello Mr. Xiqiu, real people are even cuter than the photos circulating on the Internet." Shangguan Jin also followed to say hello.

When Li Yue laughs, both eyes will turn into crescents, which is very healing, but Shangguan Jin only squints one eye when he laughs, as if he is playing some bad idea, but it is also very charming, it is the adjective cute that makes Zhang Qiu speechless, so he said: "Don't use adjectives indiscriminately, okay, I'm already past the cute age, have you passed the judicial exam?" ”

"This is my legal professional qualification, please take a look." Shangguan Jin directly took out the certificate.

"Little sister, don't deliberately find fault just because Shangguan's boobs are bigger than yours." Hongdou snatched the certificate from Shangguan Jin's hand and said, "You don't need to look at this, let's get down to business." ”

"That's not the reason." Zhang Qiuxi defended, but in the eyes of others, her expression at this time was obviously arrogant, and even Li Yue had such a smile on her face.

Zhang Qiuxi sighed, she now understood what an explanation was to cover up, and said with a forehead: "Okay, let's get down to business." Sister Hongdou, you should have already told Shangguan about the matter, right? ”

"Red beans? Well, that's actually a good name too. It seems that Shangguan Jin doesn't know much about this name, and when Hongdou glared at her, he said: "Teacher Xiqiu, she Hongdou did tell me about you and Fantasy World Magazine, and she also has a general understanding of the original intention of looking for me, but I still hope that you will explain what I should do." ”

"You still call me by my name, I haven't been polite to you, so you won't see outside." Zhang Qiuxi said: "Actually, it's very simple, I know that since you want to liquidate the damages, you will definitely not be able to escape, so I don't ask you to win the lawsuit, as long as you try to drag it out, let them make more trouble as much as possible." ”

"It's easy, but I don't think you will necessarily lose a lawsuit."

"Ale, I'm going to break the contract and still win?" Zhang Qiu was stunned for a moment, it was naturally good to win.

Shangguan Jin said: "I mean there is this possibility, it depends on whether your previous contract has a requirement for the number of words in the serial, and whether there is an approximate number of words for each issue?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi and Hongdou glanced at each other, shook their heads very firmly and said: "This is absolutely none, not only in the fantasy world, generally magazines will only require columnists to contribute regularly, and there will be few hard requirements for the number of words." ”

"That's easy, when the time comes, we just need to bite me, this novel is already a draft of the contract period, then it is possible that we will not be sentenced to breach of contract."

"But there is no word count requirement, and it is not a violation of the agreement for the magazine to publish the manuscript at one time?" Li Yue pointed out the problem, but she was still not at ease.

Shangguan Jin said: "That's why I said it's possible, although it is not illegal to do this in the fantasy world, and there is also the right to ask Xiaoqiu to contribute, but the number of words serialized has obviously exceeded the general level, so there is still a glimmer of hope." ”

In addition to short stories, the novels serialized in magazines are about 10,000 words per issue, and sometimes the author wants to increase the number of words, and the magazine is not happy, not only for long-term interests, but also because of the limited space of a magazine.

Take "Jianghu Night Talk" as an example, there are so many works that need to be published in each issue, and there is no mercy in cutting it in half, and an increase in the length of one work will inevitably squeeze out the position of other works, and "Fantasy World" will publish so many words, mainly relying on Zhang Qiuxi's works to support, it doesn't matter how many words there are.

"That's pretty good." Zhang Qiuxi nodded with satisfaction, and Shangguan Jin smiled: "That is, if it can not be determined as a breach of contract, it is a surprise, even if it is still determined that it is a breach of contract, we have made trouble for the magazine, and the original purpose has been achieved." ”

"Hey, hey." Zhang Qiuxi laughed twice, the more she looked at Shangguan Jin now, the more pleasing she looked, and said, "Shangguan, are you interested in being my personal lawyer?" ”

A private lawyer is a lawyer who is hired by a personal entrustment and provides legal assistance to the client for a long time, Zhang Qiuxi made such a request, in addition to Shangguan Jin's ability to show Xiàn, in fact, the more important reason is that she is beautiful enough, who makes her heart still a thorough man, and she is still full of desire for beautiful women.

"It's not easy for fresh graduates to find a job, and I'm happy to be able to be supported just after stepping out of campus, so please give me more advice in the future." Shangguan Jin showed his trademark smile again, and the word "bao" made Zhang Qiuxi's heart excited, and he felt indescribably happy, but no matter how he looked at it, he was a little self-deceiving.

"Then now we just have to wait for the Fantasy World to make a move, let's go to the sauna and find a place to eat." The red bean moved his body for a moment.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Qiuxi immediately responded, although she would be very entangled every time she was honest with other women, but at the same time, she also had evil expectations, and she had always been extremely contradictory, and it was still like this.

On the side of "Fantasy World", at least after the next issue of the magazine is released, it will not take action, because in this way it can be determined that Zhang Qiuxi is in breach of contract, there is still a time before this, and it is not certain how things will develop, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the court is certain, so Zhang Qiuxi prepared in advance.
