During this time, Jiang Fanyue's life was very regular.

Every morning, she and Erniu ride their bikes to school together.

When I arrived at school, I didn't interfere with the river water with my classmates, and I treated each other as if they didn't exist.

Listen carefully in class, keep reading for about an hour at noon, write the day's after-school exercises before school, and then ride a bicycle home with Erniu.

After dinner, after taking a shower, I lay down at my desk and wrote until ten o'clock in the evening, and then put down my pen and went to sleep.

On weekends, instead of spending all her time writing, she went to the factory to look at the newly produced toys, observe the Gesang flower seeds in the pots, and tell stories to Yao Ruirui and Yao Miaomiao......

So it took more than a month for Jiang Fanyue to finish writing "Wishing Mirror".

The entire 50,000 words were written by her in neat handwriting.

Yao Rong is still Jiang Fanyue's first reader.

On a winter afternoon, the sun was slightly drunk, Yao Rong sat under the wind chimes, brewing a pot of tea in his hand, and slowly looked at the story of Jiang Fanyue.

The system also made a virtual pot of tea and accompanied Yao Rong to read together.

Reading and reading, it transforms the boring system space into a spring-like appearance, and soon after, it turns spring into a gentle autumn rain.

Thousands of forests rise from the ground, and fierce beasts and bee butterflies appear at the same time.

It wasn't until Yao Rong closed the last page of "Wishing Mirror" that the system "ding" and erased all illusions.

The system sighed, holding the teacup and taking a sip of tea, [I couldn't help but consume a little energy just now, and transformed the scenery I read between the lines]

Yao Rong agreed: "It is indeed very aura. ”

Five days later, Changjin Publishing House, Xiao Jianguo closed the notebook and also sighed: "In terms of skills, the author still has many deficiencies. But this natural spirituality is enough to make up for any shortcomings. ”

Lu Junhao has gone from being a trainee editor to a full-time employee.

Xiao Jianguo, as the senior editor of the publishing house, founded the new newspaper "Fairy Tale Monthly" by him, but he would definitely not be busy alone, so Lu Junhao was also transferred over and continued to work for Xiao Jianguo.

Hearing Xiao Jianguo's words, Lu Junhao smiled: "I also like this book. ”

Xiao Jianguo pushed his glasses with his index finger: "This book is divided into six short stories, and I plan to publish two short stories in each issue of the newspaper, a total of three issues." ”

Lu Junhao hurriedly wrote it down.

Xiao Jianguo thought for a while and added: "When you reply to this little writer, you tell her that if she still wants to write a medium-length story in the future, you can write the beginning and send it over." If the story is appropriate, you can serialize it in the newspaper and continue to create it at the same time. ”

But soon, Xiao Jianguo changed his mind again: "Forget it, I'll reply to her in person." ”

"Fairy Tale Monthly" has no regular contributors, and almost all of the articles in the first issue are contributed by the editors of the publishing house.

This little writer named Jiang Fanyue, if he is trained well, he should be able to provide more manuscripts for "Fairy Tale Monthly".

Therefore, when Xiao Jianguo replied to the letter, in addition to talking about business, he also put forward a lot of suggestions for improvement to Jiang Fanyue as a reader.

Soon, Jiang Fanyue received a reply.

The moment she pinched the envelope, Jiang Fanyue knew that she had passed the draft.

If it had been rejected, the envelope containing the notebook would not have been so thin.

Opening the envelope, Jiang Fanyue saw a remittance slip with a denomination of 700 yuan.

Although she knew that if she passed the manuscript, with the number of words in "Wishing Mirror", her manuscript fee would definitely not be low, but when she really saw this data, Jiang Fanyue's heart was still pounding.

It stands to reason that "Grandpa Big Tree" got 20 yuan for just 1,000 words, and "Wishing Mirror" only got 700 yuan for 50,000 words.

The price of a short story will definitely be slightly higher than that of a medium story.

The 1,000 words that a newcomer author can get are usually between 10 and 15 yuan, and the publisher has offered a price of 1,000 words and 14 words for "Wishing Mirror", which is already quite good.

At least Jiang Fanyue was satisfied.

She kept the remittance slip and opened the letter.

Looking at the revisions proposed in the letter, Jiang Fanyue was like a treasure, and she only felt that this was more surprising to her than the manuscript fee of 700 yuan.

At the same time, Yao Rong was in the city.

The factory can mass-produce 40 toys a day, so every five days, Yao Rong personally delivers the 200 toys to the city and gives them to Zhao Palm, who then transports them to other stores.

After handing over the goods, Zhao Brown said: "Sister Yao, two stores have greeted me, saying that they want to buy more goods to sell, do you think we should recruit more employees to make toys." ”

Yao Rong inquired carefully about the situation, and then heard Zhao Brown pat his chest and promise: "I still have some ways here, even if the number of toys doubles, I can sell them all." ”

Yao Rong pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course I believe in your ability. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen you to help in the first place. ”

Zhao Brown was warm when he heard this, but in the next second, Yao Rong's words changed: "But in a short period of time, the factory is not suitable for expansion." ”

Zhao Brown looked puzzled.

He is a clever person who can do things, but because he does not have enough experience, he can only see the current profits and lack long-term consideration.

Yao Rong sat on the bench and spread it out to teach him: "Has it only been a month since the factory was established? ”

"The old employees have not completely run in, and the rules and regulations of the factory are still in the trial stage.

"So this year, we just need to go step by step. Then in the spring of next year, I will rent a store and a warehouse in the department store to further promote our brand reputation, and then I will think about expanding the staff and expanding the production. ”

"If the foundation is not stable, even if we run the fastest at the beginning, it is easy to be overtaken by the laggard."

"So every step of the way is not rushed, and there is no need to rush. Think about it, in the short term, can any other toy brand compete with us? ”

Zhao Brown groaned.

Since he became a member of the "fairy tale world", he has become more and more concerned about the toy market.

The products of "Fairy Tale World" are not necessarily the most beautiful and playable, but they must be the cheapest of the same quality.

First, because other toys are shipped from the south, the cost of travel must be included in the cost of toys.

The second reason is that the materials used in the "fairy tale world" are all local wood in Changjin City, and the price is cheap, and the cost is naturally reduced.

Zhao Brown was completely convinced: "Sister Yao, you're right, it's me who is too anxious." ”

He sighed in his heart that he really had a lot to learn.

You can't be complacent just because of a small achievement.

Yao Rongwaner: "It's a good thing that young people are motivated. If you still have the strength to spare, you can look for more helpers, and when the factory expands next year, you will become the head of the marketing department, and you can't have no one under your hands. ”

As a self-made boss, you must have a deep grasp of the skills of pie drawing.

Especially in such an era of hard work and simple atmosphere, painting cakes is even more invincible.

For example, at this time, Zhao Palm, who was already very convinced of Yao Rong, was directly moved to tears, and he couldn't wait to work overtime and discover talents for the factory all year round.

"I will definitely work hard to let the children of the whole city, no, the whole province, play with the toys of the fairy tale world!"

In this regard, Yao Rong can only sigh, young people, they are full of passion.

Saying goodbye to Zhao Brown, Yao Rong returned home.

The weather was getting colder and colder, but charcoal was burning in the house, and Yao Rong took off his scarf as soon as he entered the house.

Jiang Fanyue was lying on the edge of the bed reading a book, and when she saw Yao Rong coming back, she shook her calves happily and announced, "Mom, I got seven hundred yuan for the manuscript!" That's a whole 700 dollars! ”

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows lightly: "Aren't you suddenly a little rich woman." ”

Jiang Fanyue looked like a miser: "I want to save it well and spend nothing." ”

"No, it's still going to cost money. Tao Tao left me almost all the fairy tale books, I want to go to the bookstore to buy some domestic and foreign classics to read. ”

From the letter written to her by Editor Xiao, Jiang Fanyue thought clearly about how she should improve.

In addition to writing more, it is also important to read more classics.

Yao Rong laughed: "I'll give you this money." ”

It's a good thing for a daughter to be independent, but to buy books to enrich herself, she must raise her hands and feet in favor.

Jiang Fanyue thought for a while and hugged Yao Rong's arm: "Then it's still Mom, you can help me pay for it." ”

The money she saved will be used to buy new clothes for her mother.

Qi Yingyi and his wife are both from Changjin City, and after graduating from a top university in China, in order to take care of their elderly parents, they both accepted the invitation of Changjin Machinery Factory to become technical consultants of the machinery factory.

Both are in their thirties and have a daughter, Qi Yaning, who is in the fourth grade of primary school.

It's just that her daughter Qi Yaning has not inherited her parents' learning ability at all, and her grades have been at the bottom of the class since she was a child, and the combined scores of Chinese and mathematics have just exceeded 100.

Qi Yingyi and his wife often quarreled over their daughter's education, and the two tried to find time to make up for their daughter's lessons, but with little success.

Last night, her daughter got back a forty-point math paper, Qi Yingyi and his wife couldn't help but quarrel again, they didn't sleep very well at night, woke up early, went out to buy breakfast for their wife and daughter, and went to the newsstand at the corner of the street to buy newspapers. The newsstand owner and Qi Yingyi are acquaintances, and they greeted Qi Yingyi with a smile.

Qi Yingyi squeezed out a smile on his face: "Have a copy of "Changjin Weekly". ”

The boss quickly handed him the "Changjin Weekly", and enthusiastically promoted it: "Consultant Qi, Changjin Publishing House has recently published a new newspaper called "Fairy Tale Monthly", which is very suitable for your daughter's age, can you see if there is anything needed?" ”

The quality of the newspapers made by Changjin Publishing House is guaranteed, and Qi Yingyi also wants a copy.

When I returned home, my daughter Qi Yaning had woken up and was sitting in the living room in a daze.

Qi Yingyi said: "Yaning, breakfast is here, and Dad bought you a newspaper." ”

Qi Yaning didn't say anything, just picked up breakfast and ate it silently.

Twenty minutes later, Qi Yingyi and his wife went out to work together, and before leaving, they did not forget to advise: "Yaning, you must complete the homework assigned by the teacher at home." ”

Qi Yaning silently unzipped his schoolbag, took out his homework, and stared at a calculation problem for a long time, trying to write something, but his brain was blank.

She put down her pen and wanted to go back to her room to sleep, but when she passed by the coffee table, she caught a glimpse of the four big characters "Fairy Tale Monthly".

Qi Yaning blinked, picked up the somewhat thin newspaper, and slowly looked down.

Lion, grass, sun, moon......

The world depicted in the newspaper is full of innocence and imagination, which makes people temporarily away from the distress of reality.

Until Qi Yaning saw an article called "Wishing Mirror"-

The first protagonist of the wishing mirror is called Ayi.

He was stupid since he was a child, but his father was known as the smartest scientist in the world.

Everyone who knows his background has a complicated gaze at him.

Ayi worked hard to break into the holy land of the elves and made a wish to the wishing mirror in exchange for a smart brain.

The wishing mirror made his dream come true.

&

nbsp; He succeeded in outperforming his peers, achieving perfect marks in every subject and being the first in his grade every time.

The price of variable intelligence is the loss of a father's love.

His father no longer eats with him every day, no longer walks with him after dinner, and no longer takes time out of his busy schedule to accompany him to the amusement park......

At the end of the story, Ayi returns to the wishing mirror and asks the wishing mirror to return the father who loved him.

"I want to be smart because I'm afraid my dad will be disappointed in me, and I'm afraid my dad won't like me."

"If the price of being smart is the loss of his love for me, then all this will mean nothing to me."

"I'd rather still be a happy stupid kid."

After making a wish, Ayi hurried back home.

His father stood behind the door with a handmade cake and smiled and wished him a happy birthday.

Ayi finally asked this question that had been bothering him for a long, long time: "Dad, if I can only fail the exam forever, will you still like me?" ”

The father seemed a little surprised that he would ask such a question, but soon, he squatted lightly in front of Ayi: "There are many smart children in this world, but you are the only one who is my child. I will always love Ayi. ”

……

Bean-sized tears poured down from his eyes and dripped onto the newspaper, blurring his handwriting.

Qi Yaning held the newspaper and cried loudly.

She felt that she was the Ayi in the story.

She has the best mom and dad in the world, but she behaves very badly.

Every time her parents quarreled over her grades, she was upset, so she started to study harder.

But she has tried her best, why her grades have not improved, why are her parents still quarrelling.

Mom and Dad must have been disappointed in her.

Would they have ever thought that it would be nice if their children weren't her.

I don't know how long I cried, but suddenly there was a sound of a key inserted into the lock hole at the door.

After that, Qi Yingyi and his wife walked in with lunch packed from the cafeteria.

Hearing Qi Yaning's cry, the husband and wife were startled, and hurriedly ran to Qi Yaning's side and asked her if she was uncomfortable.

Under the patient questioning of the husband and wife, Qi Yaning sobbed and told them his thoughts incoherently.

The husband and wife looked at each other with a look of shame on their faces.

Mother wiped Qi Yaning's tears with a tissue, and when she saw Qi Yaning crying, she couldn't help crying: "Yaning, I'm sorry, it's not your problem, it's what Mom and Dad did wrong." ”

Qi Yingyi also introspected: "We always forget that you are an independent child, not an accessory of your parents. We desperately wanted you to be what we wanted you to be, but we never thought about your feelings......"

This is a rare opportunity to communicate, Qi Yingyi poured Qi Yaning a glass of water and chatted with Qi Yaning for a long time.

Knowing that Qi Yaning had read an article in "Fairy Tale Monthly" and had the courage to tell them what was in his heart, Qi Yingyi said happily: "This newspaper is too worth buying." In the future, we will buy one every month, and then Mom and Dad will watch it with you, okay? ”

Qi Yaning pursed her lips and nodded shyly.

Kuang Zimo was born in a cadre family, suffered from congenital disabilities, and usually couldn't see anything when he walked, but as long as he walked faster or ran, his physical defects would be completely exposed.

A smart child also tends to have stronger self-esteem than his peers.

Kuang Zimo hated seeing sympathy in the eyes of others, so he disliked going out more and more.

When his peers were playing wildly outside, he always sat silently by the second-floor windowsill and read.

Although he is only ten years old, Kuang Zimo reads a lot.

Every morning, the nanny would deliver breakfast to his room along with the newly bought newspapers.

Kuang Zimo finished breakfast and read the newspaper as usual.

"Fairy Tale Monthly?"

Kuang Zimo glanced at the name of the new newspaper, frowned, and put it aside.

It's just that by the time I saw the afternoon, the other two newspapers had finished reading.

Kuang Zimo was a little bored, leaning against the wall, his eyes empty, looking at the children who were running around the yard and laughing loudly.

"It's noisy."

He snorted unhappily, hid a trace of envy in his eyes, and picked up the copy of "Fairy Tale Monthly" that he had thrown aside.

"Forget it, I've bought it all back, just take a look at it to pass the time."

Kuang Zimo scolded "boring" while watching, and then looked at it, and turned "Fairy Tale Monthly" to the end.

For the first story of "Wishing Mirror", Kuang Zimo didn't have much feelings.

It's the second story-

The protagonist of the second story, Little Ear, was unable to stand up again because of an accident before he learned to walk.

His parents, grandparents, and grandparents loved him very much, but Little Ear still felt inferior to his disability.

He wanted to see the colorful world outside on his own, not in a wheelchair and being pushed by his family.

Then one day, Little Ears meets a winged, flying elf.

He looked at the elf with envy and said, "I wish I had the same wings as you." ”

But what he didn't know was that the elf had the magic of the wishing mirror, and the sincere words he said were fulfilled by the wishing mirror.

When Little Ear wakes up from the bed again, he finds himself transformed into a swallow.

Frightened at first, then slowly rejoicing, he stumbled and flapped his wings, and soon learned to fly.

He walked through the layers of foliage, through the rows of houses, and the world presented to him in a different light.

He cheered for seeing the world.

But soon, Little Ear was hungry, and he had to catch insects and eat them himself.

As a halfway monk, he tossed for a long time, but he didn't find a single bug.

When he stood on a branch in despair, a bird, a stray cat under the tree, and a zhizhi in the tree all began to talk to him.

He told these little animals about his past, saying that he envied the little animals for living freely, but the little animals said that they envied him for having a place to shelter from the wind and rain every day, and that he could eat and dress himself every day.

At this moment, the sky suddenly overcast, and a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the stray cat was so frightened that its hair stood on end and ran to find shelter from the rain.

Little Ear fled with the bird to a house.

But there was only one nest in that house, which was enough for the birds to hide on their own.

In the end, the little ears could only shrink under the eaves and listen to the roar of the thunderstorm all night.

When the rainstorm cleared, he was found by the elves in hunger and cold.

The elf apologizes to him and asks him if he wants to undo the magic of the wishing mirror, and Little Ear nods seriously and tells the elf, "I have found that with wings comes other troubles." Every life is not easy. ”

"Instead of envying what other people have, it's better to find ways to make your life more exciting."

The elf asked, "How do you want to live a more wonderful life?" ”

Little Ear flapped his wings: "I want to learn how to build an airplane and fly into the blue sky in another form." ”

……

"Childish!"

Kuang Zimo scolded fiercely, but there was a faint cry in his voice: "This child called Little Ear is too naïve in his thoughts!" ”

He flipped back to see if he had learned to build an airplane behind his little ears, only to find the story......

It's over!!

Ahhhh

Kuang Zimo was crazy: "What's the matter with this author, writing fairy tales, shouldn't the ending be a little more satisfying." ”

"Little Ear was admitted to a prestigious university, successfully realized his dream, and traveled around the world in a plane he built...... Shouldn't it be written like that!! ”

He flipped through the newspaper back and forth, making sure that it had the address and contact information on it, and quickly took out the pen and paper from the drawer, intending to write a letter to the author in protest.

Most new newspapers have a print run of about 10,000 copies when they first come out.

But at Xiao Jianguo's strong suggestion, a total of 20,000 copies were printed in the first issue of Fairy Tale Monthly.

On the day the newspaper was released, Lu Junhao was so nervous that he couldn't sit still.

Xiao Jianguo on the side was still enjoying himself and making tea.

Lu Junhao leaned over: "Editor Xiao, aren't you nervous?" ”

In case the sales on the first day are not good, the newspaper that Xiao Jianguo has put so much effort into will basically be cool.

"What are you nervous about, only 20,000 copies were printed, and with the popularity of "Changjin Weekly", "Fairy Tale Monthly" will definitely sell out."

Xiao Jianguo couldn't get used to the frizziness of young people, but he also understood Lu Junhao, patted Lu Junhao on the shoulder, and explained: "Besides, don't you think that almost all the newspapers published on the market are for people in government agencies and units. ”

"If a child wants to read a story, he has to buy a whole storybook, but a storybook is not cheap. In contrast, a newspaper can be afforded by the vast majority of households. ”

Lu Junhao's emotions were calmed.

He asked, "Editor Xiao, what do you predict how many newspapers "Fairy Tale Monthly" will sell on the first day?" ”

Xiao Jianguo said: "About 5,000 copies." ”

As for the specific data, we can only wait.

I waited until I got off work in the afternoon.

"Old Xiao, haven't you gone back yet?" The editor-in-chief walked out of the office, saw Xiao Jianguo still sitting there, and said with a smile, "Aren't you very optimistic about this newspaper, so what else is there to worry about." ”

Xiao Jianguo just wanted to speak, but Lu Junhao's body directly slammed into the office door, and an excited and loud voice came from the door all the way to the end of the room: "Editor Xiao, it's done, it's done-"

The eyes of everyone in the publishing house converged on Lu Junhao.

Lu Junhao gasped: "On the first day of "Fairy Tale Monthly", a total of 16,000 copies were sold! ”

"The newsstand asked us to print more, and they said that in the afternoon, some parents went to the newsstand to buy this newspaper!"

The editors of the publishing house were shocked.

They all know that "Fairy Tale Monthly" is bundled with the popularity of "Changjin Weekly" for sale.

With the size of "Changjin Weekly", the results of "Fairy Tale Monthly" will definitely not be bad.

But Lu Junhao's words clearly mean that many people did not buy "Fairy Tale Monthly" because of "Changjin Weekly", but because of "Fairy Tale Monthly".

Is it reasonable that this kind of thing, which usually happens in a newspaper with a fixed readership, is now happening in a new newspaper?

Plausible!

It's so reasonable!

When the postman sent boxes of letters from readers, looking at the immature handwriting on the letters, which were obviously from children, Xiao Jianguo was sure that the newspaper "Fairy Tale Monthly" was much more popular than he expected.

Lu Junhao classified all the readers' letters, and finally counted them, and found that one-third of the readers' letters were written to Jiang Fanyue.
