Volume 2 The willows move and the cicadas chirp, the sun sets, and I can't help myself Chapter 37 Signing the Universe

The warm sunlight softly wrapped the pedestrians on the road, and a breeze blew by, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground, and suddenly felt that time flies.

It's been a little past a little since I came back from the cemetery. An Yushuo changed into casual clothes, didn't have time to eat, and hurried to the offline office of Huanyu Chinese Network, to be precise, this is a publishing house under Huanyu Chinese Network. It just so happened that this publishing house was in Jiangcheng, not far from the small apartment, half an hour's drive, and everything was in An Yushuo's plan.

Fortunately, it was noon, and there were not many people traveling, so An Yushuo could easily get a taxi. The young driver was a bit talkative, and his accent was a little heavy, and An Yushuo had a little trouble listening, but he was in a very good mood at this time, so he chatted all the way to the destination. An Yushuo got out of the car, walked to a small three-story building on the corner of the street, and walked in.

At the front desk was a young girl in her 20s, dressed in a professional shirt that was a little out of place with her slightly immature face, and Ms. An was chatting with another slightly older woman when she walked in. Seeing someone enter the door, the little girl immediately put a professional smile on her face, "Hello, how can I help you?" ”

"I have an appointment with you, Mr. Zhang Yidongzhang." An Yushuo expressed his intention.

"Okay, Mr. Ann, right? Manager Zhang should be in the editor's office on the second floor now, you can wait for me to contact you. "The girl is very polite, it should be because she is new to the workplace, although the professional smile is a little fake, but An Yushuo feels sincere from it, unlike the woman next to her, who is already comfortable with this." Mr. An, Manager Zhang is already waiting for you in the conference room on the second floor, and the second room on the left side of the upstairs from here is. ”

"Yes, little girl, thank you. By the way, what's your name? ”

"Huh? Oh, my name is Ding Ning. Ding Ning was a little unresponsive, after all, no one had ever asked her name.

"Quite a good name", An Yushuo nodded, and continued as he walked to the staircase, "Actually, you don't have to laugh so hard, it will look better naturally." ”

An Yushuo ignored Ding Ning and went straight to the second floor. It's not easy for young people nowadays, and it's even more difficult to be polite, at least they don't like to ignore An Yushuo's ordinary clothes, there are many people like this, such as the woman next to him. Ding Ning aroused his interest, and he could pull a hand when he had the opportunity in the future, but that's all. Ding Ning, who was downstairs, didn't know An Yushuo's thoughts, and her heart was a little deer at this time.

Editor's office on the second floor. An Yushuo knocked on the door, pushed the door and walked in. Knocking on the door is self-cultivation, even if the people inside are waiting for him.

"Is it Mr. Ann?"

An Yushuo nodded, "Hello, editor in charge." ”

"Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk. What would Mr. Ann want to drink? As he spoke, he made a gesture to stand up.

"No, no, you're so polite!" An Yushuo hurriedly waved his hand and changed the topic, "Editor Zhang, don't you want to introduce the person next to you?" When An Yushuo entered the door, he found a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa opposite, about forty, some Mediterranean, wearing a plaid shirt and dark slacks, staying calm and sophisticated.

"Oh, this is the editor-in-chief of our science fiction group, Peng Lishan."

"Mr. An, I'm glad to see you." Saying that, Peng Lishan stretched out his hand and invited, "We appreciate Mr. An's book very much, unlike the mecha science fiction that is flying all over the book now, and discusses some in-depth things in the interstellar background. ”

"You've overrated! It's just that if you have an occasional idea, you can write it casually. An Yushuo modestly returned the salute and looked at Peng Lishan. An Yushuo understood that this meeting should basically be led by Editor-in-Chief Peng, and Zhang Yidong should be because he discovered this book.

"Mr. An, I won't delay your precious time, the conditions are just like what Xiaozhang said to you yesterday, two agreements, 0.2 buyout or 0.1 manuscript fee 0.1 share, I personally recommend that you choose the second one." After a pause, Editor-in-Chief Peng continued, "We have carefully analyzed your works, using interstellar as a frame, romance as a medium, and memory as a line to explore race, life and death, and choices These in-depth topics, the plot is full of twists and turns, and the writing is even more beautiful. So, we hope you can trust us, and we will definitely do a good job of publicity and post-publishing. ”

An Yushuo smiled and nodded, "Of course, I only voted for Huanyu Chinese Network, so I naturally believe in your ability." ”

"Okay, let's take a look at the contract. This is a contract of two agreements, you can take a look first, and if there is something unsuitable, we can talk about it. ”

An Yushuo took the document handed over by Editor-in-Chief Peng and read it carefully several times, "Let's divide the mode, the others are acceptable, but this share should be mentioned as 20%. ”

Editor-in-Chief Peng was stunned and frowned, "This, 20% is indeed a bit high, and I won't tell you that the 10% share is already the share ratio of our great gods here." See if this can be lowered......"

"I have confidence in my work, and I can do without the manuscript fee, this is my sincerity." An Yushuo sat calmly on the sofa and did not urge Peng Lishan.

Peng Lishan revisited the plot in his mind, recalled a few memory points, and checked the background data. After a long time, I made up my mind, "Okay, just do as you say!" I'm going to redraft the contract. ”

After printing a copy of the ID card, signing the contract, and a few more polite words with An Yushuo, Editor-in-Chief Peng went back to the office. He has to manage not only the sci-fi sector, but also the subsequent work, or Zhang Yidong to dock. As for the pen name of the subsequent publications, according to An Yushuo's meaning, he continued to use "ink rain and embers".

"The little girl named Ding Ning at the front desk of yours can try to cultivate it, I think she is a good seedling." After finishing the business, An Yushuo casually mentioned it.

"Oh, okay, she's okay, she's serious about her work." Zhang Yidong half-jokingly, "Got an idea? ”

"I'm married."

"Well, when I didn't say it." Manager Zhang sent An Yushuo to the door, "The songwriter An Yushuo of "Later" is also you, right?" ”

"It's me." An Yushuo nodded.

"Then why did you suddenly think of writing a novel?" Thinking of An Yushuo's recent fame, people who have even been on the hot search should not be to make money.

"It's kind of pleasing someone."

The mouthful of dog food of "......" made Zhang Yidong feel full directly.
