Yu Shu was preparing for class this day, and suddenly WeChat reminded that there was new news, she hurriedly took a look, it turned out that someone applied to be added as a friend, since Huang Xi's death, she rarely agreed to add friends, but, this person's screen name is "Flying Fish", and the addition prompt shows "Mr. Huang Xi's old friend", she thought that since she was Huang Xi's old friend, she agreed.

Soon, "Flying Fish" sent a message: "Ms. Song: I am Mr. Huang's book-writing partner before his death, and I need to discuss some specific matters with you, and I really hope to meet with you." ”

Yu Shu replied: "I'm sorry, my husband didn't mention you before his death, can you introduce yourself?" ”

Soon the other party sent a photo over, Yu Shu clicked on it and saw that it was an ID photo, a middle-aged man, named Yan Dong, from Beijing.

The other party sent a message: "I am a non-famous writer, I am Mr. Huang's writing partner, and now, Mr. Huang is gone, we are halfway through writing, should we continue to write, or give up?" ”

Yu Shu thought for a while and replied: "Sir, I'm really sorry, I rarely intervened in my husband's affairs when he was alive, and I didn't hear him say that he also had a book partner, let alone mention you, do you have any evidence to provide me?" ”

Soon the other party sent a picture of the contract for the partnership to write a book, Yu Shu took a general look, and she felt that it was true.

She thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, you can let me think about the meeting and answer you in the afternoon." The other party replied: "Yes, wait for your news." ”

Yu Shu called Zihao to tell him about the situation, and Zihao said: "Since he has a contract, it is estimated that it is true, but we don't know anything about writing a book, so I can accompany you to meet him." ”

Yu Shu said: "Qingmei has published a collection of poems, and I guess I know some about writing and publishing books, so I asked her to go with me." Zihao thinks it's okay.

Yu Shu told Qingmei about the situation again, and asked Qingmei to help meet this Yan Dong, and Qingmei agreed.

She sent a message to the flying fish and asked him to meet at the Red Capital Bar at 7 o'clock in the evening, and the other party quickly replied OK.

Yu Shu, Zihao and Qingmei went to see Yan Dong together, they arrived first, and after a while, Yan Dong sent a message that he was at the door of the hotel, Yu Shu and Zihao went over to see that a tall middle-aged man was wearing a very old jacket and a pair of sneakers with unclear colors, and he looked like a down-and-out literati.

Zihao went over and asked him, "Are you Mr. Yan Dong?" The man hurriedly replied yes, and Zihao invited him into the box. Zihao introduced him to Yushu and Qingmei. Yan Dong definitely didn't expect that there were two beauties, so he seemed a little restrained.

He handed Yu Shu his ID card and a contract to write a book together, and Yu Shu invited him to sit down, and then said, "Didn't you write the book alone?" I don't know much about your business. ”

Yan Dong said: "Generally speaking, many writers' early works are created alone, some writers will set up a studio when they become famous, everyone creates together, and the division of labor cooperates to write books, some people do not set up a studio, and a few friends with similar writing styles and interests write books together, which is also headed by a famous writer, and we are the latter case, so I have a contract with Mr. Huang, and when the book has income, we will share it proportionally. There are two reasons why I am looking for you today: one is that he did not give me the manuscript fee I was entitled to seven months before and after his death; Second, I want to ask if the book is still written. ”

Yu Shu said: "How do you know how much to pay?" ”

Yan Dong said: "Our manuscript fee is settled on a monthly basis, and it is very likely that Mr. Huang did not settle the account after he became ill, so he did not transfer money to me." ”

Yu Shu took a look at the contract, there were two books with cooperation contracts, Yu Shu took out all the information and withdrawal methods of all the book platforms left by Huang Xi, found the two books, and asked Zihao to open the laptop left by Huang Xi, these platforms were all collected in the favorites, Zihao opened it, and sure enough, there had been no withdrawal for a long time, Zihao withdrew the income of the two books into the bank card at one time, and then calculated that Yan Dong had an income of 4,500 yuan according to the proportion of the contract. Yu Shu asked him if he wanted cash or a transfer, Yan Dong said it was better to give cash, Yu Shu gave him 4,500 yuan in cash, Yan Dong thanked him a thousand times, saying that he had no money to pay the rent.

Yu Shu smiled and didn't say anything, Yan Dong asked, "Ms. Song, are these two books still written down?" ”

Yu Shu said: "I don't understand this matter, I want to ask Miss Bai Qingmei to discuss this matter with you." My idea is that the continuation of these two books and the right to distribute income will be handed over to Qingmei, and you should discuss whether to continue writing or wait for the money if you don't write them. ”

Yan Dong said: "These two books are only half completed, it is a pity to give up, and the amount of reading is also very good, I think I should continue to write." ”

Qingmei said: "I used to write poetry, but I have never written a novel, so I am afraid that I will not be able to continue writing. ”

Yan Dong said: "I won't hide it from you, Mr. Huang's health became worse and worse later, these two books are mainly written by me, if you agree to continue writing, I will discuss with Miss Bai to continue writing, and the income will be distributed in this way: divide the manuscript fee into four, I will take one, Miss Bai will take one, and Miss Song will take two." What do you think? If we agree, we will sign a contract. ”

Qingmei said: "Okay, I'll learn to write with you first, and I mainly rely on you." Yu Shu looks at this is okay? ”

Yu Shu smiled and said, "I don't know anything about writing novels, so the two of you will discuss it." ”

Yan Dong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have already written a part during this time, as long as you agree, we can upload it to the platform, of course, this requires Miss Bai's cooperation, because I can't log in to the platform." ”

Yu Shu said gently: "It doesn't matter, I will soon give Qingmei the platform URL, user name, login password and corresponding bank number of these two books, and I will entrust these two books to you."

Yu Shu let the food and wine be served, and they had a meal together, which was the beginning of cooperation. Qingmei took the initiative to drink two glasses of wine with Yan Dong, and asked Yan Dong for more advice, Yan Dong nodded again and again and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I believe that Miss Bai will definitely write a splendid article."

After returning to Yushu's house, Zihao told Qingmei that she must keep the platform account information and not let Yan Dong know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, because, after all, we don't know him. In addition, try to contact him through WeChat, or QQ, do not meet with him, if you meet, you must be accompanied by someone, in a public environment. Yu Shu thought that what Zihao said was right, and Qingmei expressed her gratitude to Zihao, saying that she would be careful.
