Chapter 41: Editor-in-Chief Cao meets the strange husband
It was the first batch of guests that the strange man received, and after that, he and Xinrong received several more groups of guests one after another, almost every time there was a considerable profit, and the strange man had money on hand to turnover, so he took out some of it and sent it to the winter.
In winter, the strange husband sent 20,000 yuan, happy tears, she held the stack of money in both hands, choked and said: "You came too timely, I have contacted the rehabilitation hospital, just wait for the money to send him over, this Lele is angry enough, I asked him to contact me about selling the house, to this day he didn't give me a reply, I was saying that I want to go to you, I want you to transfer the store quickly, now it seems that there is no need for that, I think you are a businessman, you have made so much money in just a few days, you are there to support, why do you transfer it?" Just do it your way. β
The strange man joked: "Aren't you afraid that I will embezzle public funds?" β
Winter said: "This is a conscience account, I won't care about you, you can pay me back the money I put in, I will be content, and if I make money in the future, it will have nothing to do with me, if you want to give me something, I will take it, and if you don't want to give it to me, I won't ask you." β
The strange man said: "What do you think of me, how can I do such a thing that lacks morality, say that I will take care of it for you, that is, the escrow, that shop is yours, I will not overstep my bounds." β
The strange man stayed in the hospital for less than half an hour before returning to the store, and when he saw him in winter, he asked, "How is Shi Song's recovery?" Is it better? β
The strange man said, "The body is conscious, and the urine and urine are also known to speakβ"
Xinrong interrupted him: "Can he speak?" β
The strange man said: "I can't say the whole thing, I can say it out, and it takes me a long time to say a half word-"
Xinrong's mobile phone rang, she went out to answer a call, and when she came back, she diverted the topic, "Chen Liru came with a call in the morning, asking you to turn on your phone, she said she had something to tell you." β
The strange man asked, "She didn't say anything, did she?" β
Xinrong said: "She asked me if you had anything to do at night." I said a group of friends were coming over in the eveningβ"
"Did you tell her about my business model?"
Xinrong said: "I said, she doesn't seem to be willing to let you do business, I persuaded her a few words, she was still anxious with me, saying that I forced you to be a prostitute, when did I force you to do business?" Isn't it all your idea, and I advise you to transfer itβ"
"Okay, I'll charge my phone first, and I'll call her to explain it later." The strange man took out his phone and walked into the back room.
The weirdo charged his phone, and it didn't take long for him to do so. Chen Liru's phone called, and she said on her mobile phone: "I recommended your novel to the editor-in-chief of a magazine, he wants to meet you, I made an appointment with him to meet at the door of the Chongwenmen Hotel at half past five in the afternoon, you come early, I still have something to explain to you." β
The strange man should have gone early, and just as he was about to leave, someone came to the store, and he couldn't get out of it for a while. Half an hour late. When he rushed over, Chen Liru was no longer at the scene. He called Chen Liru on his mobile phone, and Chen Liru asked him to go inside and told him, "We are in Maxim's restaurant." When you come in, you see us. β
The strange man walked in and saw Chen Liru sitting with an old man in a suit and leather shoes. He walked over, Chen Liru stood up and said, "This is Editor-in-Chief Cao." Editor-in-Chief Cao also stood up, and Chen Liru introduced the strange husband to Editor-in-Chief Cao. The two shook hands. Take your seats.
Chen Liru instructed the waiter, "It's time to serve." β
The strange man saw that the waiter brought a lot of dishes he didn't know, and brought a bottle of foreign red wine, and couldn't help but think about it secretly. How much should this table cost? Just thinking about it, I heard Chen Liru say: "Editor-in-chief Cao wants to publish your work, and you still don't respect editor-in-chief Cao." β
The strange man raised his glass and touched the cup with Editor-in-Chief Cao, and said, "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Cao." And he drained the wine.
Chen Liru glared at him and said, "Why don't you understand the rules at all?" Drinking red wine is not the same as drinking white wine, you have to drink it in small sips, how can you drink so much, people look at it and laugh at it. β
Editor-in-chief Cao smiled: "It can be seen that you are used to drinking white wine, and you don't like to drink red bars?" In fact, I don't like to drink red wine, today you are the host, I am the guest, Xiaoru ordered red wine for you, and I only have the guest to follow the host. β
The strange man said, "Why don't I go out and buy a bottle of liquor, and let's drink it white?" β
Editor-in-Chief Cao waved his hand and said, "No, just drink this, do you follow the customs." Editor-in-chief Cao put a snail in his mouth and chewed it, and said, "Xiaoru told you about the book, right?" That's the case, I can give you the book number, and I will be responsible for the printing, but you have to bear part of the cost, and in the future, the book will be published, and you will have to hold press conferences, sign and sell books, etc., I can help you operate, but the premise is that you have to pay for the expenses, as for whether you can recover the cost in the future, it depends on the market, you and I can't control the market, whether the reader buys your account, it depends on the influence of your work, the hype is on the one hand, whether your work can capture the hearts of readers, this is very importantββ"
Editor-in-Chief Cao talked a lot, the strange man only listened to the first few sentences, and then he said something, the strange man didn't listen to a word, he was distracted, and secretly blamed Chen Liru in his heart, he felt that she had hurt him, he knew that he wouldn't come like this, how could he cooperate with Editor-in-Chief Cao, it costs a lot of money to publish a book, not to mention that he can't take out so much money to operate, even if he can take it out, he won't let Editor-in-Chief Cao operate for him so much, the gains outweigh the losses; These are all later words, and what he is most worried about at the moment is how to settle this account? Chen Liru called him here without asking him how much money he had in his pocket, didn't this make him show his timidity, "No, I have to call Xinrong and ask her to send some money." Thinking that she had guests to entertain, he dispelled this idea again, he thought of Qu Ting, and if he couldn't do it, he asked Qu Ting to send money.
In order to know what to do, the strange man took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and ask the cashier to show the cost of table 8. The cashier's reply was, "The account for table 8 has been settled." The strange man asked, "Who got it?" The cashier said, "The lady got it." "The strange man is now steady.
Back in his seat, the strange man picked up a piece of steak and nibbled on it, and Chen Liru asked him, "Do you understand what Editor-in-Chief Cao said?" β
The strange man said, "I understand, I'll go back and think about it again." β
Chen Liru said: "What else to consider, it's decided, you can revise your novel again when you go back, and then I will take it to Editor-in-Chief Cao and let him operate it for you." β
Some things are not easy for the strange man to say on the table, so he agrees with him.
Editor-in-Chief Cao seemed to see something, and after sitting for less than an hour, he said, "I still have a meeting to rush back to participate, and I won't accompany you when you sit." With that, he hurried away. (To be continued......)
