In the following days, several editors from publishing houses contacted Zhao Yan one after another. Some offered 60 thousand words, some offered 70 thousand words, or 80 thousand words. Perhaps their upper limit was about 100 thousand words, but Zhao Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense to them. Every time he told the other party that his new book had been signed to Jiuzhou Reading.

On the fourth day, Editor Tian from the Inscription Book Club finally called and said to Zhao Yan with a smile: "Student Shi Jian! Congratulations! Your new book has passed the review of our editorial team and you can sign the contract!"

After receiving this call, Zhao Yan thought of the priority clause of the new book in the contract of "Full Moon Scimitar". Although this priority may not be legally binding, it is better to have less of one thing.

So, Zhao Yan asked: "How is the royalty fee?"

Editor Tian: "Well, I told you the royalties last time, 60,000 words! Don't worry! What I said counts. If you say 60, you won't lose a penny!"

Zhao Yan cursed in his heart: Don’t want Bilian!

But he said, "Oh, can't you be taller?"

Editor Tian: "Haha, Shi Jian classmate! Don't be impatient! The future is long, you are only 17 years old, right? You still have many opportunities to publish new books in the future. As long as each of your books can maintain the level, we can give you a little bit of royal reward every time! Think about it yourself, according to this growth rate, in a few years, when you are in your early 20s, you will be a writer with a thousand words of more than 100,000 words, and most of your classmates will earn more. What do you think?"

Zhao Yan curled his lips, lowered his head and picked up an orange peel beside the desk and threw it into the trash can. He laughed dryly and said, "Since you can't give higher royalties, I can only say sorry! Goodbye!"

After saying that, Zhao Yan hung up the call, threw his phone on the desk, and spit out two words: "Bangmao!"

Jiuzhou study gave him 150 thousand words, and they gave him 60 thousand words, as if he had given him how much favor Zhao Yan was. In fact, as early as when he signed them with "The Full Moon Scimitar", Zhao Yan was dissatisfied with the manuscript fee of 50 thousand words.

However, at that time, Huang Yiqing said that he would give him a college admission quota, which was a first-tier university in China. For the sake of the admission quota and to prevent his parents from disappointing, Zhao Yan pinched his nose and signed the contract.

This new book "Rebirth: The Great Sword of Soldiers" died and many of his brain cells were tormented. Thousands of words were signed with the inscription 60. Zhao Yan's brain was almost the same.

"Full Moon Scimitar" is on the list of new newcomers and new works in the Mingwen Bookstore during the same period. It has been ranked first recently. With such a result, only 10 yuan will be added to the new book with a thousand words?

What is the future of staying in such a publishing house?

As for what kind of gratitude should be done, you should know how to be grateful, Zhao Yan asked himself that he was worthy of the Inscription Bookstore. In "The Moon Scimitar", they gave the quota of 50 thousand words and Huang Yiqing, which was just a best-selling novel.

The sales of "Full Moon Scimitar" are far ahead of the newcomers' works during the same period, and the inscriptions have already been obtained.

If the price of the new book they gave to Zhao Yan is not much lower than that of other publishing houses, Zhao Yan would be willing to stay there. After all, he was also grateful to Huang Yiqing for giving him the opportunity to go to college. There were also some fans of his book on the inscription, but the other party gave too little royalties this time.

It’s not as much as Jiuzhou’s study.

The phone rang again, and Zhao Yan glanced at the caller ID, and it was still Editor Tian.

Zhao Yan didn't want to answer, but was also a little curious about what the other party wanted to say.

"Hello?"

Editor Tian: "Shi Jian classmate! I asked you what happened to you? You just hung up my phone if you said you hang up my phone? It's rude! I think the manuscript fee is low, right? Then I will add a little more to you! 65 thousand words! Is it OK?"

Zhao Yan didn't speak.

Editor Tian: "It's not okay? Thousand words 70? I tell you! This is the highest price! No matter how high it is, it will definitely be gone! Thousand words 70 is not enough, right? You touch your conscience and say that it's too much less?"

Zhao Yan sighed, said again: "Goodbye!", and hung up the phone again.

In the editorial department of the Inscription Bookstore, Tian Rong once again took the phone away from his ears and looked at the blind voice in his hand in surprise. He thought that Zhao Yan, a 17-year-old boy, would offer him a price of 70 thousand words to his new book, which would definitely be reduced. Unexpectedly, the other party sighed and hung up.

That sigh seemed to say: "Snack!"

Tian Rong's face was a little hot, shy and annoyed. After thinking about it, he called Huang Yiqing. Huang Yiqing was a teacher from Shijian High School and had recommended "Full Moon Scimitar" for Shijian. Tian Rong believed that Huang Yiqing should be able to convince Shijian.

After the phone was connected, Tian Rong told Huang Yiqing something angrily. After that, he found that there was no sound coming from Huang Yiqing and couldn't help but ask: "Yiqing! Yiqing? Are you listening to me?"

"well!"

Huang Yiqing also sighed and said, "Is the quality of Zhao Yan's new book good?"

Tian Rong: "Zhao Yan? Oh, you are talking about Shi Jian's name, right?"

Huang Yiqing: "Well, you answer my question just now!"

Tian Rong: "What do you think! His new book is still average, but his creativity is very good! The plot is also good, so I hope to sign that book here!"

Huang Yiqing: "Oh, I understand! Tell me a brief! How much can you write to that book with the inscription? Leave the bottom to me and I will call you to ask Zhao Yan."

Tian Rong: "Uh, this...80...no, 85! It can be as high as 85 thousand words!"

Huang Yiqing: “…”

After a while of speechlessness, Huang Yiqing took a deep breath, endured the urge to curse, and said, "5, what 5? I'm going to make the decision for you! Thousand words 90! I'll just ask you one thing now. If Zhao Yan agrees Thousand words 90, do you have any problems?"

Tian Rong hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

"Okay! 90 is 90! That guy is cheap! But don't show the bottom line first! Let's see if his thousand words are 80 or not!"

Huang Yiqing did not respond to him again and hung up the phone directly.

Tian Rong listened to the blind voice on the phone, curled his lips and muttered: "It's still this bad temper! I know who I learned from that boy's bad habit of hanging up people's phone calls!"

The "boy" in this sentence naturally refers to Zhao Yan, who just now hung up his phone twice.

...

Zhao Yan received a call from Huang Yiqing and looked a little helpless. He thought to himself that what Huang Yiqing called at this time was because of the fact that he had done.

It was nothing more than urging him to give the new bookmark to the inscription.

"Hello, Teacher Huang!"

After answering the phone, Zhao Yan greeted him politely.

Huang Yiqing opened the point and said, "Zhao Yan! Teacher, congratulations first, for writing a new book. I guess you have guessed it when I made this call. It's not bad! I was called by Mingwen Bookstore. The teacher wants to ask you now, if Mingwen gives you a new book of 90, would you like to give them a new bookmark?"

Zhao Yan pinched his temple with a headache and said to Huang Yiqing with a wry smile: "Teacher Huang! It's not that I don't give you face. I'll give me 150 thousand words to study in Jiuzhou. If you are me, would you sign for the inscription or Jiuzhou study?"

Huang Yiqing: “…”

After a moment of silence, Huang Yiqing sighed and said with some emotion: "Thousand Characters 150... Jiuzhou Reading... Whether it is royalties or publishing houses, the inscriptions are really unparalleled! OK! The teacher understands your choice! He also agrees with your choice! Don't think too much! The teacher didn't force you to sign the inscription! Haha, after the new book is launched, remember to give the teacher a copy!"

Zhao Yan hurriedly said, "Well, thank you for your understanding! When I get the new book sample book, I will definitely give you one to the teacher!"

Huang Yiqing hung up the phone, but Zhao Yan changed his mind about Huang Yiqing a little. This teacher is not bad!
