Chapter 69
"Manager Yang, you can play anything when you go in for a while, but if you want to sign the contract, please show me first, okay?" I hope you don't get me wrong, it's just my job. ”
Before pushing the door, Zhang Po couldn't help but tell the Yang family's father and daughter again, worried that they would be coaxed away in a few words. If something like this happened under his nose, Zhang Po felt that he would definitely not be able to stay in the lawyer profession anymore.
Yang Qianxi turned her head to look to the side, and she didn't want to complain anymore about this lawyer who was nagging all the way and couldn't sign casually. She felt that this lawyer must have watched too many TV series, how could the kind of person who signed a contract casually with his head in water on TV appear in real life casually. However, after all, it was kind, and Yang Qianxi didn't want to sharply point out this person's "innocence", lest he couldn't accept the blow.
Compared with Yang Qianxi, Yang Guohua was very convinced of Zhang Po's words, and he was nervous holding Yang Qianxi's hand, and there was no appearance of Manager Yang as outsiders said, which made Yang Qianxi can't help but roll her eyes in her heart again.
The moment the three of them pushed the door in, Yang Jie was stunned, according to the information she knew, the person "Yang Qianxi" was a woman, but the person who came in was two men and a little girl. In an instant, Yang Jie had a feeling that she was being despised and had no expectations for the next negotiations below. came over early in the morning to drink tea, and then waited for this result, Yang Jie's mood was very unhappy.
"Hello, I am the manager of the Jincheng branch of the Beijing Publishing House, my name is Yang Jie, and this is my business card." Yang Jie still wanted to make the last struggle, "It's fate to be able to see here, please sit down." You also know the purpose of this appointment with three people, so I won't beat around the bush, I don't know which of the three is the author of "Under the Yellow Cypress Tree"? ”
The three of them were stunned, they didn't expect the manager opposite to be so straightforward. Zhang Po gave Yang Guohua a look and took a small step back, indicating that Yang Guohua was the leader here.
Yang Guohua smiled innocently, pointed at Yang Qianxi and said, "Hello Manager Yang, my surname is Yang, and I was a family five hundred years ago. This book was written by my daughter, and we are all very happy to be liked by the publishing house, and this time it is mainly to listen to my daughter's opinion, after all, she wrote the book. ”
Yang Jie looked at Yang Qianxi in a daze, and did not react for a long time.
She felt that Yang Guohua must be joking, the little girl in front of her was only a teenager, and she absolutely believed that this girl wrote an excellent essay, but said that this little girl wrote a love novel of hundreds of thousands of words...... Hehe, this kind of deceptive method of wanting to be famous is too rubbish, isn't it, is the other party treating himself as mentally retarded?
Yang Jie looked at Yang Guohua, dissatisfied in her heart, and there was a thick expression of "you liar" in her eyes. "This Mr. Yang, I think you should have seen the sincerity of me and our publishing house, so is this temptation a bit excessive." Although she was dissatisfied, Yang Jie still cared about the book "Under the Yellow Cypress Tree", and spoke a lot more tactfully.
The father and daughter of the Yang family were stunned, and they didn't understand why they came seriously to talk about cooperation, why did the other party say that they were not sincere, and obviously they didn't say anything, so where did this so-called "no sincerity, temptation" start? The father and daughter of the Yang family felt very aggrieved, and felt that the idea on the other side was too weird, and they didn't get each other's thoughts at all. So, how should this contract be negotiated? The two of them turned their heads to look at Zhang Po in unison, and now it was time to need this lawyer's advisor.
Receiving the innocent eyes of the two fathers and daughters, Zhang Po couldn't help but touch his nose. For Yang Jie's mood, the most understandable estimate is only Zhang Po, you must know that at the beginning when he knew that "Under the Yellow Cypress Tree" was written by twelve-year-old Yang Qianxi, his mood was also unbelievable, and he felt that it was a lie, but after contacting the Yang family, he also understood that this book could only be written by Yang Qianxi, because there is no need to deceive people.
"Ms. Yang, hello, I am the lawyer of the Yang family, my surname is Zhang, and this is my business card." Zhang Po said with a smile.
"Hello Mr. Zhang." Yang Jie nodded reservedly.
"I also had Ms. Yang's idea a few days ago, but after contacting Miss Yang Qianxi, I found that my idea was completely superfluous, and this book was indeed written by Miss Yang." Zhang Po said, "If Ms. Yang has any questions, I think you can communicate with each other, after all, you are all fuss-makers." I don't think Miss Yang will care about this. ”
After listening to Zhang Po's words, the father and daughter of the Yang family understood that the other party was wondering if they were really the author of this book. understood that the other party was suspicious of Yang Qianxi's age, and the two had no better way, so they could only follow what Zhang Po said, proving their ability was the most correct choice.
"Is this sister not believing me because of my age?" Yang Qianxi raised her head and asked.
was pierced by someone, Yang Jie was not angry, and smiled at Yang Qianxi: "It's not that my sister doesn't believe in your ability." My sister believes that you can write a good essay and write a short story with meaning, but when it comes to writing a youth romance novel of hundreds of thousands of words. This...... I'm sorry, my sister really can't believe this, not only me, I think many people can't believe that a primary school student can write a little red romance novel. This is not that we judge people by their appearance, but the precipitation of the time it takes to experience and see this thing, and the author's article needs experience and emotion to be moving. ”
"Sister, I want to correct it, I'm going to be a high school student soon, not an elementary school student!" Yang Qianxi understood Yang Jie's thoughts in her heart, if it weren't for her, she would think the same way. However, the age of her soul must not be told to others, so Yang Qianxi has to think of other ways to explain.
"Sister, you can't deny that there are geniuses in the world, and I am that genius!" Yang Qianxi said proudly, "I like to read books the most, all kinds of books, and my favorite are those popular youth romance novels." At my age, I can't understand why those people love so dead and heartbroken, and of course, I don't think even when I grow up can understand this kind of love that is obviously not a normal person's feelings. I don't understand, but that doesn't stop me from using the classics! ”
"I've studied the most popular novels and know what kind of situations are most popular and what kind of content will most touch the hearts of readers. Just like we usually do exam papers, knowing the answers and knowing what style the marking teacher likes, of course I can write what everyone likes according to the requirements, and this is the case for the exam. Perhaps, sister, you will think that such an article has no connotation, and is more of a thing written to cater to readers, but if it is not good, and the author who can't even write what the reader likes, how is he qualified to publish his own work. ”
"I think I'm a genius, I like to fantasize about all kinds of stories when I'm fine, and then write them in words that readers like and are willing to accept, and overlap my dreams with the readers' dreams and resonate with everyone. I don't know what a writer is, and I don't understand either, but I want to be a storyteller and make my stories like for everyone. My sister can go to the website to see my backstage, the book "Under the Yellow Cypress Tree" is finished, and then I am going to write another book, which is a novel that travels through time, and I think everyone will like it, because I like this theme. ”
Yang Qianxi scratched her head and said, "It doesn't matter if my sister doesn't believe me, and it doesn't matter if I don't sign a contract for publication." I went to the Chinese Internet to publish articles so that more people could see my story, as long as someone can like my story, it is fine, as for the rest, I don't care, after all, I am also very busy, and I can't write books every day like many people who write books. Dad, what do you think? ”
Yang Guohua touched Yang Qianxi's head and said with a pampered face: "Dad thinks what you said is very right, as long as someone likes your story, nothing else matters." Of course, if you really want to publish, Dad can also find a way to help you print the book for you to give to your friends. ”
"Ms. Yang, we didn't mean to lie to you, this book is indeed my daughter's work." Yang Guohua said to Yang Jie, "The reason why we are here is not for money, but more because the publishing house can publish my daughter's book." My daughter wants her story to be seen by more people, and we certainly want her to be happy. As for fame, we are not what we are after, if your publishing house wants to publish, we can only provide you with the right to publish in paper, and at the same time, my daughter will not cooperate with your publicity, and you cannot use her age and photo as publicity. ”
Hearing Yang Qianxi's clear thoughts, Yang Jie already had some belief in Yang Qianxi that she was the author of this book. After all, among the twelve-year-old girls she knew, there was no such genius.
Yang Jie thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yang, your conditions are a bit harsh. We publish this book in order to make money, and Miss Yang's age is the best gimmick to promote this book, and it would be too much for us not to use this publicity. I know that Mr. Yang is worried about the impact on Miss Yang's life after her exposure, so we can not release the photos, but only some information about Miss Yang. 'Twelve-year-old genius author', this is really the best publicity. ”
Yang Guohua did not compromise, "I'm sorry, neither my family nor I can agree to this matter." My child is still in school, and she doesn't know which direction she will go from here. To put it mildly, she wrote a very good book that made the publishing house take a fancy to it, but her next book is estimated to be so bad that no one can read it at all. This book held her high, and the next book was not cared for, and I was worried that my children would not be able to stand it. So, we still think it's better to be safe. Her mother and I don't want her to be famous, we want her to be steady and steady, and her life is ordinary and unaffected by strong winds and waves. ”
