Chapter 28 Double Happiness
Before the phone could be hung up, the knock on the door rang.
Lin Han held the phone in one hand and twisted the door handle in the other hand to open the security door. Chen Jiaxuan, wearing a beige sweater and gray tights, looks very mature and generous. Her outfit looks simple and fashionable, but also has a gentle and intellectual side. A long scarf on her neck that is in the same color as the sweater hangs down casually, which not only adds warmth, but also looks younger, interpreting the elegance of a mature woman.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if this agent Chen Da is compared with the female stars under her command, it is not a small difference.
“It started to get cold outside, and the heated room is still warm.”
Chen Jiaxuan was not polite at all. She quickly took off the scarf, then threw the expensive handbag directly on the sofa, ran to the edge of the radiator and started blowing.
Lin Han closed the door, and he frowned and asked, "I haven't seen your figure in the past two days. Is there anything wrong with it?"
"I went on a business trip in Hunan. I didn't plan to go there, so I just asked Maruko to accompany Zhao Liang to record it. But when there was a problem with the station there, Zhao Liang stopped recording. I hurried over and wiped her ass. Nowadays, it's not easy to be an agent!"
Chen Jiaxuan leaned on the sofa without any image. She hammered her neck with her hand, and then smelled the smell of braised beef floating in the kitchen, and saliva was about to flow out.
Only then did Lin Han remember that there was something in the pot, braised beef was to reward himself, and chicken breast was the food needed for fitness exercise.
"You probably haven't eaten yet. I have extra money here. Do you want to eat?"
"Are you inviting me? Although I nibbled a loaf of bread on the plane, I was still a little hungry. The smell smelled so good. How did you do it?"
Picking up the packaging bag on the kitchen chopping board, Lin Han waved at Chen Jiaxuan, "Did you see, you have prepared all seasonings on the market for you now, you just need to put the meat into the pot."
After watching Lin Han busy in the kitchen for a while, Chen Jiaxuan suddenly felt that the picture seemed very warm, just like home, and Lin Han's back seemed to be softer under the light.
She didn't want to break the atmosphere, but reason told her not to be addicted to it, so she struggled and said, "Just tell me what is it, let me hear it?"
"I am thinking about a new book today. Now I have written the introduction. You can read it first before you have eaten. I plan to publish this book while serializing it. It will be available for sale in the bookstore when it is serialized until the third or fourth issue."
Chen Jiaxuan is not a science fiction fan. After seeing many things in the entertainment industry, she does not have a wonderful life, but for Lin Han's science fiction path, she insists on learning in this regard.
Sitting in front of the computer and looking at the document, the Chinese and English title of "I, Robot", Chen Jiaxuan was stunned. She never expected that Lin Han's ambition was so great that she actually focused on the English version.
But she did not rush to ask, but carefully read the introduction. She almost beat the content of thousands of words, and even wrote down the location of one of the typos, which was simply free proofreading.
After a while, Lin Han stuck his head out of the kitchen, "Have you finished reading it? Is it okay? Let me give you some advice!"
"I think it's pretty good, but I'm not a science fiction expert. I can only say a few words from the perspective of an outsider. The three rules at the beginning are a bit unsightly, but this shouldn't be a big hit novel? At least I seem to be a little curious about the stories of the robots behind it, but the attraction is not enough."
Lin Han nodded. The sales volume of this novel may not be particularly good, but its significance and future status cannot be erased by anyone. There are many best-selling science fiction books, but this is the only one that can lay the foundation for robots.
"Okay, OK, let's eat and chat. You haven't told me yet, what's your good news?"
Chen Jiaxuan smiled, she patted her breasts, and the Wei'an covered by the sweater trembled, "Hasn't you a fiscal deficit recently? In order not to let you swipe your credit card, I have found a magazine for you these two days. They intend to reprint your novel "Rural Teacher". The reprinted manuscript fee income belongs to you. I will not take commissions from the income below 100,000 yuan."
This is really timely. A magazine will reprint this novel so soon, but its reputation has not yet been fully fermented. If it were not for Chen Jiaxuan's help, it would definitely not be completed.
He was worried about how to resolve the financial crisis, but he immediately gained income. He felt relieved. At least he didn't have to worry too much about handing over "I, Robot" to the magazine. He had to go to the copyright office to register first.
"Don't be too happy too early. My friend started writing the recommendation today and asked their editor to agree before publishing it. As for the price, it was much higher than "Science Fiction World". It costs a thousand words and one thousand yuan at a time. The "Novel Selection" with a big business is different."
Usually, she received millions of endorsements and millions of pay for films, but Chen Jiaxuan felt that it was very exciting to have a thousand words and one thousand yuan. The pre-tax income was only 20,000 yuan, which was not enough for her to buy a bag, but the joy that helped Lin Han was particularly strong.
""Fiction Selection"? This magazine is amazing. If you really want to be on this magazine, it's fine, even if it's free." Lin Han even put down his chopsticks with excitement. He didn't know how Chen Jiaxuan did it, even if it was not a sure thing, it was already shocking.
Chen Jiaxuan was not afraid of gaining weight. She picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully. It melted in her mouth and was fat but not greasy, which was no different from the dishes in the restaurant.
But she couldn't understand Lin Han's expression and asked strangely: "Isn't it just "Selected Novels"? The highest circulation is only more than 5 million copies, and now it can only rank eight or nine per month on average. It would be great if you can have two million copies."
"Sister Xuan, the most powerful thing about "Novel Selection" is not sales, but status. Do you know? It is the only national-level large-scale literature selection under the supervision of the Chinese Writers Association. Many excellent works start from here and are known by more readers and the public. They are regarded as the barometer and vane of contemporary Chinese literature!"
"I'm so amazing! I thought it was just an ordinary magazine. If you didn't say it, I wouldn't know at all." Chen Jiaxuan suddenly realized that she had only been engaged in culture for a short time. She just read a magazine from sales, and did not look at it from a deeper position or influence.
Lin Han picked up the pineapple beer on the table and said to Chen Jiaxuan: "Sister Xuan, you really have it. You can do such a big thing quietly. If you can really get on, I'm afraid that mosquitoes will envy me."
"Mosquito, who?"
