Jiang Fanyue didn't know that the editors of the publishing house were so optimistic about her work.

She's nervous right now.

Just yesterday, she received a letter from the publishing house.

In the letter, the editor asked her if she was free to go to the publishing house in the near future, and if she was free, she hoped to communicate with her in person about signing the contract.

For this reason, Jiang Fanyue asked the school for a day off and came to the city with Yao Rong.

Changjin Publishing House is very famous, but the office is not large, located in a residential building, and when you get closer, you can smell the faint fragrance of ink in the air, adding a bit of seclusion.

The doorman was sitting in the pavilion sorting out the letters, and when he saw Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue, his eyes automatically fell on Yao Rong: "Hello, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yao Rong took a step back, making Jiang Fanyue's figure more conspicuous.

Jiang Fanyue pursed her lips and took out the letter from her bag: "Hello, I received a letter from editor Xiao Jianguo, and he invited me to come to the publishing house. ”

The doorman was a little surprised.

But the envelope in Jiang Fanyue's hand is indeed an envelope dedicated to Changjin Publishing House.

"Then you can register and you can go in. Editor Xiao's desk is on the third floor—"

As he was talking, the doorman swept his eyes and caught a glimpse of the young man trotting downstairs, and raised his voice slightly: "Xiao Lu, there is a little girl here, who said that she came to find Editor Xiao!" ”

Lu Junhao went downstairs to throw away the garbage, turned around when he heard the words, looked at Jiang Fanyue, seemed to think of something, and stepped forward in surprise, with extreme enthusiasm: "Is it Teacher Jiang Fanyue?" ”

Jiang Fanyue was flattered: "You can call me by my name directly, or call me Yueyue." ”

Lu Junhao also felt that it was a little strange to call a little girl "teacher", so he called "Yueyue" according to her words, and when Jiang Fanyue was registered, he took Jiang Fanyue and Yao Rong upstairs.

Xiao Jianguo was writing a manuscript, and after meeting Jiang Fanyue, his attitude was not as enthusiastic as Lu Junhao, but more like the gentleness and friendliness of the elders to the juniors: "I guessed at the beginning that you are not old, but I didn't expect you to be so young, are you in junior high school?" ”

"I've just entered my first year of junior high school."

Jiang Fanyue respects Xiao Jianguo very much.

When writing "Wishing Mirror" before, Xiao Jianguo specially wrote a letter to her to guide her and correct many of her minor problems.

It can be said that it is precisely because Xiao Jianguo pointed her in a direction that she has made so much progress in a short period of time.

"Children are really good nowadays." Xiao Jianguo sighed with emotion, asked Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue to sit down, chatted with them for a while, and then cut to the chase and asked about the basic situation of "Little Elephant Who Loves to Dance", "How long do you plan to write?" ”

Jiang Fanyue had already thought about this question before she came.

She took out a handwritten outline and handed it to Xiao Jianguo.

"It's hard to say how long it is, but it's definitely not short."

Xiao Jianguo read her outline and was pleasantly surprised: "Then how many drafts can you write in a month?" Can 20,000 or 30,000 words be guaranteed? ”

Jiang Fanyue nodded: "30,000 words a month is no problem." ”

Xiao Jianguo smiled and introduced his plans to Yao Rong's mother and daughter.

He wanted to directly and seamlessly serialize "The Little Elephant Who Loves to Dance" after the end of "Wishing Mirror", and at the beginning of each month, Jiang Fanyue provided the publishing house with a manuscript of about 30,000 words until the end.

Because Jiang Fanyue has already finished a copy of "Wishing Mirror", she can no longer be considered a newcomer, and the price of her thousand words will increase from fourteen to eighteen.

In the future, if "Dancing Little Elephant" has outstanding results, this price will also be adjusted.

Of course, considering Jiang Fanyue's age, if she encounters any special circumstances in a certain month, she can communicate with the publishing house and reduce the amount of 30,000 words a little.

Jiang Fanyue listened carefully, and was already faintly moved, but she didn't reply immediately, but turned her inquiring gaze to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong asked to see the full agreement first.

After flipping through the agreement in its entirety, Yao Rong nodded secretly in his heart.

Changjin Publishing House is indeed kind, just like Xiao Jianguo just said, this agreement not only has no pitfalls, but depending on Jiang Fanyue's age, some requirements have been appropriately relaxed.

Yao Rong said: "I have no opinion. ”

Jiang Fanyue heard Yao Rong's words and said happily: "Then I'm fine." ”

After the two signed their names, Xiao Jianguo smiled and said, "I still have some work at hand, so let Xiao Lu take you around the publishing house." In the future, if you have time, you can come to the publishing house more often. ”

During the tour, the trio also met other editors of the publishing house.

Knowing Jiang Fanyue's identity, many editors laughed and said that they were her book fans.

Even though she knew that there were a lot of jokes in her words, Jiang Fanyue was still very excited.

After walking around the publishing house, Yao Rong and Jiang Fanyue said goodbye and no longer disturbed Lu Junhao's work.

Lu Junhao sent Jiang Fanyue a few new books as gifts, and also gave Jiang Fanyue all the letters he received from readers during this time.

Compared with last time, Jiang Fanyue has received significantly more letters from readers this time.

Jiang Fanyue flipped through it and found Qi Yaning's reply, but did not find Kuang Zimo's reply.

After taking some time to process the letters, Jiang Fanyue fell into a busy final week.

The final papers used in middle schools all over the city are the same

set, most of the questions are very basic, but there will also be a few questions that are used to increase the difficulty.

Jiang Fanyue's previous grades were not outstanding, and he was in the middle of the class, and he was even less conspicuous in the whole city. But after this semester's hard work, she can basically solve even those difficult questions.

Soon it was the last day of the final week.

Early in the morning, the sky outside the house was covered with frost and snow.

Yao Rong got up early and cleared the snow in the yard.

When sweeping to the kitchen, Yao Rong casually put the broom by the door, walked into the kitchen near the stove, and checked the growth of Gesang flowers.

Gesang flowers love the sun and are afraid of the cold, plus it is an annual plant, which will basically wither in autumn, and few people will plant this flower in winter. In order to allow it to survive this cold winter, Yao Rong moved it indoors early.

Removing the straw covering it, a verdant seedling came into Yao Rong's eyes.

This verdant and bright color is very rare in the northern winter.

Yao Rong carefully covered the straw, ate some breakfast, and went to the factory.

It's not time to start work yet, so I don't see the four employees, but Rui Rui's mother is here, holding a broom to sweep the snow at the door.

And Rui Rui's father, who hasn't been seen for many days, is actually there.

Yao Rong said hello to Rui Rui's father, who he hadn't seen for a long time: "Have you finished taking the driver's license?" ”

Before opening the factory, Yao Rong once told Rui Rui's father that if Rui Rui's father believed her, he would go to get a truck driver's license, and when he got his driver's license, he would deliver goods to the fairy tale world factory in the future.

The day after Yao Rong said this, Rui Rui's father went to the city to learn to drive.

Because it was inconvenient to go back and forth, he stayed in the city for several months, doing odd jobs and taking a driver's license test.

Counting the time, it should be about the same.

Sure enough, hearing Yao Rong's words, Rui Rui's father showed some expectation and apprehension on his face: "Yes...... Yesterday the driver's license came down......"

Yao Rong smiled and nodded: "That's great, I'm thinking about going to the city in two days to find a second-hand pickup truck, and then we'll go together." Then the employment contract has already been drawn up, and I will take you in to sign it in a while. ”

After three or four months of running-in, the factory was ready to expand.

Before the New Year, arrange all the manpower and everything, and immediately do a big job after the New Year.

Rui Rui's father and Rui Rui's mother glanced at each other, their faces were full of joy, and they thanked Yao Rong repeatedly.

Yao Rong waved his hand and said as a matter of course: "What's so thankful for this, you are the only one in the village who has taken the driver's license, who else can I invite if I don't invite you?" ”

Rui Rui's father knew that this was not the case. If Yao Rong hadn't mentioned him and asked him to take the driver's license test early, this opportunity would never have fallen into his hands, so to put it bluntly, Yao Rong was taking care of him.

On the other side, Fei Shuyun got up late, and if her father hadn't dragged her out of bed, she would definitely have to be late.

Fei Shuyun hurriedly got dressed, put on her schoolbag and was about to go out, when she suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked her father: "Dad, is the third issue of "Fairy Tale Monthly" coming out today?" ”

Father Fei answered in the kitchen: "Yes, I'll put it on the table for you, and I'll look at it after you finish the exam." ”

Fei Shuyun didn't hear the second half of the sentence, picked up the newspaper on the table and rushed to the school.

When I arrived at the school gate, I happened to collide with Yao Liangcai.

"Why are you so late today?" Fei Shuyun raised his eyebrows.

Yao Liangcai gasped, so tired that he couldn't say a word, and only waved the newspaper in his hand.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the classroom, the bell rang for the morning reading on the back foot, Fei Shuyun sat on the chair, looked at the textbook in front of him for a while, and looked at the newspaper in the drawer for a while, hesitated for a long time, but quietly pulled out the newspaper and opened the story of "Wishing Mirror".

Yao Liangcai sat diagonally behind Fei Shuyun, saw her movements, and silently took out the newspaper.

And Zhou Feng, who was sitting in the front row, read it early.

Review or something, it's not bad for this early self-study time.

Instead of waiting for the exam to memorize the newspaper, it is better to hurry up and read it now.

The story is still in the style of making people laugh and cry, Zhou Feng watched it for a long time and found that "Wishing Mirror" was over!

What!

It's only been serialized for just three issues, and this is over!

Isn't it possible to lengthen a story like this!!

Zhou Feng's face was shocked, but he caught a glimpse of another copy under the "Wishing Mirror".

The author of this book is still Jiang Fanyue.

And the name turned out to be ......

"Dancing Baby Elephants"?

The dusty memories emerged from the deepest depths, all the speculations overlapped and intertwined in an instant, and the teasing and ridicule were like invisible slaps in the face, hitting Zhou Feng's face hard.

He jerked to his feet.

The corners of the table make a sharp sound that attracts the attention of the class.

Fei Shuyun also saw the preface of "The Little Elephant Who Loves to Dance" at this time:

[I would like to dedicate this article to the children who lack courage all over the world, and to the adults who were once children.] - Jiang Fanyue]
