“…… That's all I can do, and what the future holds, I still need your books to be of excellent quality. ”

Mr. An entered the carriage, and after the glass fell, he spoke in a gentle tone.

Qi Jie nodded slightly.

Seeing that the other party fell from the glass, she hurriedly bent down, and did not forget to cover the placket of her chest with her right hand.

“…… Cherish it well, it is not easy for a person to have a friend who can make a heart in his life. What do you say now, oh, it's girlfriends. To tell you the truth, if she had begged me like that, I would never have published your book. But don't worry, after all, the publishing house and the bookstore are connected, so naturally no one will publish your book by saying hello, but as long as you are famous, this kind of ban will not exist. ”

"In business, it's all about making money, no one will push money out, and you have no way to publish in the first place, just because you are not famous."

Qi Jie smiled at him gratefully.

"That's it."

Mr. An waved his hand, and the car started slowly, and then blended into the traffic.

Qi Jie straightened up and looked at the car walking away.

Turning her head to look at the fat-faced girl who was busy in the distance, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Indeed, friendship is rare.

When you come into contact with someone like Mr. An, you can always learn something, as he said, if she had the fame of pen and ink Chunqiu, would the publishing house still refuse to publish her novels?

However, she will never engage in business, because Qi Jie thinks that she can't be in business like Mr. An.

Today, Monday, after the payment, the first batch of finished products will soon leave the factory under the full printing of Chenda Printing.

Because it was at his own expense, Qi Jie only printed 100,000 copies.

The family already knew about writing to make money, and her mother refused to come to the market for fear of delaying her, but she was transferred to a municipal tertiary hospital.

Therefore, although Qi Jie's current monthly remuneration is 100,000 Chinese yuan, she is still a little stretched, but fortunately, there is a half-year bonus at the starting point, and the extra money can be scraped together to cover the publication costs.

[Because the mother is set to be the old school, it is almost impossible to see the mother and daughter in the text, here it is said because some people may ask, as long as you know that Qi Jie and her mother have a harmonious relationship. 】

Since she had the finished book, the fat-faced girl really took on the role of an agent, and she personally checked everything, although she didn't know anything, but there was no mistake.

Qi Jie couldn't call her back after calling her several times, so she simply dragged her away.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, why are you pulling me away, these guys don't put your novels in a conspicuous place, no one can see how anyone can buy them!"

Qi Jie glanced at her with disgust.

"Some things are just in place, and people will be disgusted if they say too much."

"You're not afraid that they won't help."

Qi Jie smiled and didn't speak.

Mr. An came in person, how could he not do his best as a subordinate.

Be a man and take a step, if you force people to talk about it, there will still be complaints in your heart.

December 12th.

It was slightly cold, and it happened to be Friday.

Of course, the winter vacation is not yet over, but the heavy study has been temporarily over, and you can feel the relaxed atmosphere of the upcoming holiday when you walk on the road.

Qi Jie added a cashmere sweater, a soft dark gown wrapped around her round buttocks, and a tight good-colored trousers underneath, which set off the X-shaped Miaoman's figure straight, and a seat of long black hair scattered on her shoulders at will, and her hair was extremely smooth and soft after just straightening.

On December 12th, the first distribution was to be listed in the major bookstores in the city center, and then the publisher decided whether to continue printing or not, depending on the sales.

Of course, if the sales are good, naturally there is no need for Qi Jie to pay for it. Under the efficient operation, in just one day, Qi Jie's first published book was put on the shelves of major bookstores and video stores, but unfortunately due to cost restrictions, only three or four percent, and some small bookstores could not see the figure of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] at all.

On this day, Qi Jie bought thirty copies in one go!

She felt that it was normal for herself, the fat-faced girl and the garden that didn't know where it was, and ten copies per person.

She's not so pretentious, and if she could, she'd rather spend all her money on it, but it's useless.

In any case, your work should be supported!

"Qi Jie, look, they all put your books in this corner, the ghost can find it, it's too bullying!"

Qi Jie and the fat-faced girl took the car to another video store, and finally found a shelf to put [Xiao Ao Jianghu], if it wasn't for the fact that this book just arrived today, the staff in the video store might not have remembered such a book at all.

After reading the situation of his book, Qi Jie sighed secretly.

"It's originally an online article, and bookstores have this kind of unwritten rule, and people don't do it on purpose." From the very beginning, she knew that online publishing generally had to reward the "black market" label, and unless someone specified that they wanted to buy it, or if it was on fire, the eye-catching shelves would only display traditional literary publishing books.

The fat-faced girl was indignant for her, and Qi Jie could only comfort her a little.

The two of them came to the really good restaurant by car with heavy books, and Qi Jie was not embarrassed, first ordered some dishes, and then sent the books out.

There are a total of 30 copies, and there are less than 10 people in the really good hotel, so in the end, there are more than 20 books left in the bag.

"Is this a novel you wrote?"

Qi Jie nodded.

Xiaoya lay on the table, flipped through a few pages, and then put it on the table.

"I don't know much, but it looks very good, by the way, how is it lately, ICQ you sometimes don't reply to me until the next day, I'll be a freshman next year, and I'll be your seniors in the future."

"I was a little busy, I wanted to celebrate, but the restaurant happened to be closed on those days."

"Oh, you said that in the past few days, didn't I get admitted to college, and my mother had to go back to my hometown to give me a banquet."

Qi Jie was stunned, no wonder.

"Here comes the food!"

Uncle Chef smiled with an oily face and placed a bowl of noodles in front of Qi Jie.

Qi Jie hurriedly stretched out his hand.

Speaking of which, when she was delivering takeaways, the chef helped her a lot, and sometimes he was the only one who dared to speak up.

"I'll invite you to eat more of this bowl of noodles, I haven't been here for a long time, and now I can't call you a little expert in food delivery, I should call you a big writer."

Qi Jie grinned, and then ate the noodles without any image.

She is not very reserved per se.

If you look at it from the outside, Qi Jie is the kind of person who seems to be crystal clear from afar.

The actual contact is actually a very manly woman.

"Delicious!"

"It's delicious, you eat more."

"Hmm."

Qi Jie bared his teeth, and then showed a happy smile.

All the sorrow before seems to be eased with the warm atmosphere of the hotel.

After spending a little time in the really good hotel, Qi Jie and the two returned home.

Fortunately, she saved a lot of manuscripts in order to protect herself when she redeemed the junior diligence card, otherwise she would not have been able to take a break during this time.

After returning home, the chubby-faced girl still remembered the physical book.

Worriedly asked Qi Jie: "What if I can't sell it!" ”

Qi Jie pretended to be calm and said: "Then it's cold!" ”

In fact, she was also nervous.

Early the next morning, Qi Jie came to the video store again.

After a day of research and feedback, the news from Chenda was very bad, saying that the sales of [Xiaoao Jianghu] in various stores were very bad, so she was prepared to lose money.

New book launches will always be in a relatively conspicuous position in each store.

But if they don't sell, sorry, no store will do charity, and they will mercilessly remove the books and DVDs that don't sell to make room for other bestsellers.

Prior to this, the Spring and Autumn Period of Pen and Ink had already relied on laughing at the rivers and lakes to make a small fire, so compared to laughing at the rivers and lakes, [Laughing Proud Rivers and Lakes] was too far behind.

Qi Jie stayed in the video store for half a day, and when she received a call from Chenda, her heart was cold.

She walked towards the door with some loss, and the sunlight outside the door seemed to be sad for her and dimmed.

"Boss, do you have a novel in your store called [Smiling Proud Jianghu]?"

"Smiling proudly? You're wrong, do you want to laugh at the rivers and lakes again? ”

"Don't laugh at the rivers and lakes anymore, you have to roll up the [laughing proud rivers and lakes]!"

"That'...... No impression, you wait for me to find out. ”

"No, boss! You don't have a big book in the store, the big book is so good, why don't you go in? ”

Qi Jie turned her head to look, and standing at the cash register was a young man who was about twenty years old, looking anxious.

"Is this the one you are talking about?"

"yes, it's just a big book, boss, you still don't say you have it!"

"Maybe it was the book that just arrived yesterday, and the staff received it, and I didn't pay attention to it. One is 25 Chinese dollars. ”

"What a book! We are simple and rude ICQ in a lot of people can't buy it, the boss directly comes to thirty copies, a total of seven hundred and five, the transfer bank? ”

As soon as she walked out of the door of the image store, Qi Jie's nose was sour, but she wanted to jump up happily!
