Chapter 61

As Christmas approached, sales of "Y's" continued to soar, locking in 200,000 copies on Christmas Day. And the serialization of "Y's" has also entered a plateau, the conflict is not as fierce as the previous words, and the results have also stabilized.

On Christmas Day, Shen Xin is ready to invite people he knows to have a meal with him, and wait until New Year's Day to rest for another day.

Long hours of high-intensity work can also make people feel tired.

Qiao Yu was a little afraid to look at Shen Xin, so she politely declined, and Ruan Ying couldn't participate because she had to take care of the children.

So, Shen Xin could only invite Sister Yan, Ji Yinxuan, Yang Bo, and Xi Muhan to have a meal at Huaxia Restaurant together.

When she first saw Ji Yinxuan, Yan Fei was also confused, but after being introduced, Yan Fei immediately showed enthusiasm.

After a brief greeting, everyone sat down around the round table.

"First of all, congratulations to Y's for reaching 200,000 copies." Yan Fei said to Shen Xin.

"It's been three weeks." Shen Xin waved his hand.

"What's wrong with three weeks? The single book of "Crumbling" was released a month earlier than "Y's", and after two rounds of publicity, it has now sold only 200,000 copies. Yan Fei was dissatisfied.

Shen Xin scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Sister Yan also paid a lot for "Y's", and the senior sister asked Yuzhen Technology to help forward Weibo, Ye Hexu and Su Han also helped, Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu also worked hard...... This achievement should not be my own credit. ”

It was only after Yuzhen Technology posted on Weibo that he learned that Ji Yinxuan's father was the chairman of Yuzhen Technology, and Yuzhen Technology is one of the largest game companies in China.

"These are all small things, you have helped me a lot, and changing Weibo is just a hands-on thing." Ji Yinxuan drank a cup of black tea.

Xi Muhan frowned slightly when he heard that he didn't have his own name, and Shen Xin hurriedly added: "Xiao Han also worked hard and helped me a lot." Anyway, thank you very much. I'm going to paint tomorrow, and I'm going to replace wine with tea today, thank you. ”

Xi Muhan nodded immediately, she still has some value.

"How many pages of art are left unfinished with this statement?" Yan Fei asked.

"Three pages, tomorrow night, it should be about the same, right?" Shen Xin explained after the tea was drunk.

"That's good...... I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. Yan Fei nodded.

"By the way, Sister Yan, let me ask you one thing, when will the royalties be settled. Ruan Ying and Qiao Yu have paid a lot for "Y's", and I want to take out a sum of money first and give them as a bonus. Shen Xin said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm also urging, but this process is relatively slow, it has to go through the sales department and the finance department, and it will take next month at the earliest...... How much money do you need? I'll see if I can pad it first. Yan Fei asked.

"40,000, right?" Shen Xin said.

Yang Bo swallowed his saliva when he heard this, "Old Shen, I'll mess with you next time, okay?" ”

", your game." Shen Xin scolded with a smile.

"I ...... You're really willing to do that. 8% of the royalty, you will get more than 100,000 yuan, and then deduct personal taxes, it will be more than 100,000 yuan. Yan Fei complained.

"If you don't have it, do you want to earn more? Besides, don't you still have a manuscript fee? Shen Xin laughed.

"If there is a shortage of money, I can pay it." Ji Yinxuan, who had been silent for a long time, said.

"No, if the magazine is really inconvenient, I can also pay for it myself." Shen Xin scratched his head.

"Isn't it just 40,000? I'll apply to the magazine tomorrow. Yan Fei sighed and looked back at Xi Muhan, "You don't care about your brother." ”

"He's measured, and I think he's doing the right thing." Xi Muhan narrowed his eyes.

"You're really brother and sister." Yan Fei shook her head helplessly.

This time, everyone just had a good time, and Shen Xin didn't drink, just hoping to leave enough energy for tomorrow to complete the original manuscript as soon as possible.

The next day, Shen Xin came to the studio as usual and drew ink lines on the original.

Qiao Yu quit her job as a cartoonist and is now rejected, so she has to find a new job. And Ruan Ying also quit another job in order to take care of the children. As a result, they came to the studio at a slightly different time than before, but they still came in the afternoon on Thursdays.

This time it was supposed to be the same, but by two o'clock, the two of them still hadn't arrived.

At first, Shen Xin thought that there was a traffic jam on the road, but then remembered that Qiao Yu commuted by bicycle and rarely got stuck in traffic; And Ruan Ying is also a very time-sensitive person, if there is really a traffic jam on the road, she should be able to call.

Nothing will happen on the way, right?

Shen Xin dialed the mobile phones of the two people, but no one answered.

He waited patiently, and when it was three o'clock, the two of them were still nowhere to be seen.

He had a faint bad premonition, and he just wanted to call Yan Fei.

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

Shen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a fire in his heart, "Why did you come so late today?" Sister Yan is coming soon? ”

The door opened, and the person standing at the door was Yan Fei.

"Huh? How are you? Shen Xin frowned slightly, the person he wanted to see the most was not Yan Fei, but two assistants.

"Receive the manuscript, and then it's ...... Send money. Yan Fei patted the satchel, "Thank me, the president didn't want to give it at first, but I made it hard and hard." ”

Yan Fei entered the room and looked at the empty studio, a little surprised, "It's Thursday, right?" What about the two of them? ”

"I don't know." Shen Xin shook his head, "I can't contact them." ”

"What are they doing? Don't know if you want to receive the manuscript today? Yan Fei's brows furrowed, and when she saw Shen Xin with a warm and angry face, she hurriedly comforted, "Don't worry, I'll contact them now." ”

Yan Fei just turned on her phone, her face was happy, "They sent a text message." ”

"What do they mean?" Shen Xin asked.

"They said......" Yan Fei's face turned pale after reading the text message, and she confirmed the content of the text message again before muttering, "They ...... No more. ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Xin was surprised, looking dazed.

"They said they resigned...... Just 10 minutes ago, blame me, just now I was so busy walking that I forgot to look at my phone. Yan Fei clenched her fists, frowned, and hurriedly dialed the mobile phones of the two people, and there was a "down" prompt sound, "These two bastards...... It turned off! ”

Yan Fei gritted her teeth, the flush crawled from her neck to the root of her ears, and sweat oozed from her forehead.

The assistant did not have a contract with the cartoonist and the magazine, and often a phone call was made and there was a risk of resignation.

It's not very common, but it may happen when.

"Why quit? I didn't treat them badly, did I? Shen Xin couldn't figure it out.

Yan Fei shook her head again and again, unable to figure out the reason, "How is the manuscript?" Can you catch up? ”

"There are still three pages, if you don't sleep, you can barely survive tomorrow afternoon, right?"

The most time-consuming part of the draft is the background, which is usually Ruan Ying's responsibility, and Shen Xin has to paint it himself, and the completion time has to be doubled.

"Where's the finished manuscript?" Yan Fei was also a little anxious, thinking about how to mention this matter to the editor-in-chief.

"In a paper bag." Shen Xin's mind was very confused, he sat back in his seat, looked at the original manuscript on the drawing board, and held the G pen, but he couldn't put down the pen for a long time.

"Teacher Shen, this manuscript ......" Yan Fei counted the manuscript and looked up and asked.

"It should be 17 pages, right? Counted well yesterday. ”

"It's 17 pages, but it looks like there's a page...... It's a bit of a problem. Yan Fei was surprised.

"What?" Shen Xin hurriedly got up, took the manuscript from Yan Fei's hand, and took a closer look at the manuscript, but found that the last two pages were put together because they were not dried, causing the two manuscripts to stick to each other, and the ink lines and blackened parts also became blurred.

[Hatred seems to be pulling harder, so I changed it]
