At nine o'clock in the morning, the four translators arrived at the Talang Literature Publishing House and were warmly received.

After a warm welcome ceremony, the staff of Treading Wave placed the four authors in the same reception room.

Then I handed over a marketing report, a comparison of good and bad reviews, to Jonina and others.

This made the four translators who came from afar very happy, because the Talang Literature Club really achieved the "fairness and justice" and "readers are king" as promised.

And judging by the rows of data, Giannina ranks first in Europe.

The well-known writer Wood is the number one in the Americas, and the number one in Asia is Wu Jinyuan from the Lion City of Li Jiapo.

However, the data of these three regions is not too bad, and readers' comments are also different.

"Gentlemen, ladies, this is the result of several authoritative media statistics, so this time there are three first prizes, namely Mr. Wood, Ms. Jonina, and Ms. Wu Jinyuan, each of whom will receive a prize of 20,000 US dollars."

"But we now need three translators to continue translating three versions of the work and officially release it around the world.

So if you are interested in gentlemen and ladies, please wait a moment and we will discuss the formal terms of cooperation with you. ”

After listening to the results announced by Pei Wencong, the four authors present had different expressions, some were happy, some were calm, and some were frowning and pondering.

Qiao Nina and Lu Jingyao were very happy, after all, Qiao Nina had no confidence at all before, and she never thought that she would be the first.

The prize of 20,000 US dollars can completely get Jonina out of the predicament of life.

And if you can sign a cooperation agreement next, you will get another income, and that will change your fate.

Jeff, who finished second in the Americas, was a little frustrated, but No. 1 Wood didn't come, so there was some hope.

Wu Jinyuan in Asia is the most calm one, and when she was waiting for boredom, she even picked up the newspapers and magazines prepared for her by the publishing house and read them.

"Hi, you're Jonina. Walls? ”

Jonina was secretly happy when she suddenly heard someone next to her talking to her.

Jonina looked at the middle-aged man with sparse hair and said politely and solemnly, "Yes sir, who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at Gionina and said, "I'm Kibuda, I wrote to you, you should have an impression, right?" ”

Jonina's heart jumped, and her face suddenly became ugly.

Because this Kibuda is the one who wrote to her in the first place, spiked and fiercely criticized her for "ruining an epic" and writing historical fantasy as a big heroine.

"Looks like you've received my letter, right?" Kibuda smiled and said, "But why didn't you write me back?" As an author, you shouldn't lose basic politeness! ”

"I don't agree with you, I think"

"What do you think? Do you think a woman is all there is to a film? With so many bashing articles already pointing out your mistakes, how did you have the courage to keep writing? ”

"I'm doing well with my grades"

"That's your biased writing technique that attracted the votes of those female readers with low emotional intelligence, and such a work is destined not to circulate in the world"

Qiao Nina's stumbling appearance immediately aroused the vigilance of Lu Jingyao next to her.

She knew from the information at hand that this kibuda was the second in Europe and could be said to be Jonina's most direct competitor.

Lu Jingyao grabbed Qiao Nina's hand, and then said to Kibuda: "This gentleman, can you please stay away from Ms. Qiao Nina?" ”

Kibuda said coldly, "Who are you?" ”

Lu Jingyao also said indifferently: "I am Ms. Jonina's assistant, and you have already influenced Ms. Jonina, please pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

Kibuda said amusedly: "This lady, we are just a normal communication between authors, why are you so nervous?"

Oh. Jonina, why is your face so ugly? Did I just talk a few words affect your mood? Are you so emotionally unstable? ”

"I'm sorry, please let me go."

Lu Jingyao grabbed Johnina's arm and stood up, bypassing Kibuda and walking out of the reception room.

After going out, Jonina said nervously: "Lu, I'm fine, if we leave now, we may lose the right to translate, I don't want to get more paid, I just like to translate that book."

Lu Jingyao said as she walked: "No, let's go to the organizer to negotiate the translation contract now.

They put the four authors together just to put pressure on us to lower the conditions ourselves, which has an allusion in our flower planters."

Lu Jingyao took Qiao Nina to the innermost part of the Treading Wave Literature Club, the office layout of the flower planter's house is conventional, and the innermost office is the boss's office.

Amin stood in front of the two of them and said, "Do you need any help, two ladies?" ”

Lu Jingyao said: "Ms. Qiao Nina wants to talk to you about the issue of translation rights, and we don't want to fight with other people maliciously, so we want to be more direct and sincere." ”

Amin looked at the domineering Lu Jingyao and was stunned for a moment, and then asked Pei Wencong by phone, and quickly got a reply.

"Please come in! Our boss would love to talk to Miss Jonina. ”

Amin opened the office door and invited Jonina in, while Lu Jingyao also raised her heels and went in.

There are three people in Pei Wencong's office, one of them is Pei Wencong, who he just met, the other is lawyer Luo Runbo, and the last one is Li Ye.

Li Ye was very surprised, he came early today and had been discussing with Luo Runbo in the office about registering an offshore company and speculating in the foreign exchange market.

Originally, he also wanted to boil up the four translators and let them understand the truth that "if you don't do it, someone else will do it".

I never thought that the most optimistic Joyna would kill it directly, so I won't pretend, let's have a showdown!

If you want to completely hand over the copyright to Joyna, it will definitely not work, and you have to get most of the operation rights anyway.

In the future, the Xianxia text and the fantasy text of the flower planter will also be exported, and a suitable path must be summarized.

Cultural infiltration, we have to do it too!

But Li Ye never expected that Qiao Nina would be followed by a Lu Jingyao.

[How did these two get together? Odd. 】

But Li Ye's accident was not as good as Lu Jingyao's accident.

She was stupid when she walked in the door.

Just now, he was full of momentum, and he wanted to bargain with Pei Wencong, but at this moment, his brain was directly down, and he was at a loss.

[Why is Li Ye here? And how does it look bigger than Boss Pei's shelf? 】

As far as Li Yeda Lama sat on the sofa and said that he was Pei Wencong's boss, Lu Jingyao was not surprised at all.

"Mr. Li, is there any problem?"

Pei Wencong also realized the problem, and hurriedly cast an inquiring look at Li Ye.

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, let's start talking about the contract!" Explain it in detail. ”

Pei Wencong nodded, asked Luo Runbo to take the contract in Chinese and English, and began to explain to Qiao Nina one by one.

Lu Jingyao was stunned.

Since she went abroad, she has seen a lot of prosperity and arrogance outside, and she has never seen a boss who throws out tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses at will, treating a flower planter with such respect.

And this flower grower is still so young.

Qiao Nina hurriedly beckoned Lu Jingyao over and asked her to give her a staff officer.

Lu Jingyao was dizzy, listening to Luo Runbo's explanation, and finally only found a few places that needed to be negotiated, but the dispute was pale and weak.

"This lady, although Ms. Giannina does not have the right to operate, the copyright is still his, and all our operating profits will be distributed to Ms. Giannina in accordance with the contract.

And if the operation is not good, it will also provide Ms. Jonina with a fixed income, and Ms. Jonina will not be allowed to bear the loss."

Lu Jingyao was not a professional in the first place, and her mood was violently shaken, and the contract of treading waves highlighted a "guarantee" of drought and flood protection, which made Qiao Nina very satisfied.

Isn't it satisfying to be able to translate your favorite works and only make money without losing money?

After all, he is just a translator, and he is not original, where did he get so much confidence?

But in the end, Jonina whispered a request: "Hello, Mr. Pei, can I communicate with the original author?" ”

Pei Wencong looked at Li Ye.

Lu Jingyao also looked at Li Ye.

At this point, Lu Jingyao came back to her senses.

When the Chinese New Year was over, Li Zhongfa bragged about it in Qingshui County, and his grandson Li Ye was invited to Hong Kong Island for cultural exchange.

Now it seems that Li Ye is here to communicate, and now looking at Pei Wencong's eyes, "A Song of Ice and Fire" has nothing to do with him.

Li Ye looked at Qiao Nina and said in English: "It's not convenient for the author to communicate with you now, but if you have any doubts, you can tell me, and I will let him communicate with you." ”

Jonina said stiffly: "Okay, I mainly want to ask about the direction and style of the plot of the book, so that it will be easier for me to translate and write." ”

Li Ye smiled and said: "Just use your imagination and keep your current style, your translation is very good, if you have to know a little direction, then it is a betrayal." ”

"A Song of Ice and Fire" is full of betrayal, and the final ending of Dragon Mother is also due to betrayal.

But Li Ye's truth was like a thunderbolt struck Lu Jingyao's head.

Treachery.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Wen Leyu awe-inspiring accused Lu Jingyao of betraying Li Ye.

Jonina was also stunned for a long time, and then said with moist eyes in the corners of her eyes: "Yes, I guessed the same way, I will write this story well"

Only those who have experienced betrayal will appreciate the taste, and Jonina's marriage and experience just gave her a better creative foundation.

With the help of Luo Runbo, Jonina began to sign.

Pei Wencong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he signed the first one, it would be easy to do it later, the copyright awareness in the West is not ordinarily strong, and today it was unexpectedly smooth.

And Lu Jingyao looked at Li Ye fixedly, and finally couldn't help but ask in Qingshui dialect: "Do you think I am a betrayal?" ”

Li Ye looked at Lu Jingyao and said lightly: "It's all in the past, forget it!" ”

Lu Jingyao bit her lip and asked again, "This is very important to me, and I need an answer." ”

Li Ye directly asked, "Then don't you think it's a betrayal?" ”

Lu Jingyao: "."

Li Ye can ignore it, after all, things have already happened when he came to this world.

But if you want to say, "Yes, you were right to dump your boyfriend", then you can't say it to death.

Others can forgive you and take it lightly, but you can't kick your nose in the face and ask others to think you're "right".

Lu Jingyao's lips were bitten.

In the end, she smiled and asked calmly, "Is "A Song of Ice and Fire" a work by Mr. Ke, right?" ”

When Lu Jingyao tried to translate "A Song of Ice and Fire", she felt that the grammar and wording habits were very familiar, and now she understands that it is the work of her own teacher.

Li Ye frowned and said, "You asked too much, you'd better pretend not to know me in the future, otherwise it will make other authors think it is unfair and affect Ms. Jonina." ”

“.”

Lu Jingyao lowered her head and was silent for a long time, until Qiao Nina finished signing and pulled her to leave with her, and then looked at Li Ye again.

"Okay, we don't know each other in the future."

This time, she was finally sure that Li Ye was serious.

Because he is already far ahead of himself.

。。。。。。

Lu Jingyao walked out of the Talang Literature Publishing House, took a deep breath, and felt as if she was not so uncomfortable, but the faint tearing feeling hurt into the bone marrow.

Betrayal, I turned out to be a traitor.

The experience of the past few years has made Lu Jingyao's heart more tenacious and stronger, but when Li Ye put the word betrayal on her head, the intensity of the damage is something she can't dissolve.

Suddenly, Qiao Nina stood opposite Lu Jingyao and hugged her gently.

"Forget the past! I used to be just like you, but now, let's forget those pent-up memories together, okay? ”

Lu Jingyao looked at Qiao Nina in shock, speechless.

Jonina smiled and said, "Although I don't understand your words, your eyes betray your heart. ”

Lu Jingyao sighed: "I'm sorry, I didn't help you just now." ”

"No, no, no, you've already helped me, and I'm going to need your continued help in the future."

Qiao Nina took Lu Jingyao's hand and said, "I have a stable income now, but I need a real assistant to take care of my children and take care of my life, how about it, are you willing to take this job?" ”

Lu Jingyao looked at Qiao Nina for ten seconds in a daze, and then smiled slowly: "Then what is my salary?" Generous Ms. Jonina? ”

"The minimum is three hundred pounds per month, and if you need a broker in the future, you will press ten percent, Lu believes me, I will not be stingy."

"Deal!"
