After Jiang Lili finished speaking, everyone was speechless. The books of the publishing house are indeed aimed at sales, and there are targets for the number of books published each year and the cost. In addition to some step-by-step textbooks, there are also some extracurricular books that are helpful for learning.
The full name of Chen Yuan's English book is "How to Learn English". It is an extra-curricular book. The price of publishing an extra-curricular book is not cheap, and there are high copyright fees and printing fees, as well as promotion fees for subsequent sales.
After a series of expenses, the book may not be able to make money, and it may not be able to reach the sales volume of the publishing house. If it fails to reach the sales volume, the publishing house may have to bear the losses for such a large amount of expenses. Many publishing houses are Because the book was not easy to sell, it caused serious losses and closed down.
And for publishing houses, a book is considered a book if it can be sold to make money. If it cannot be sold, it is a pile of waste paper. It is not that there are no books that cannot be sold in their warehouses, and some books are even piled up there from the previous year. No one cares at all.
Their Wucheng Literature Publishing House is one of the largest in the city in terms of strength and scale, and the current good prospects are all carefully managed by the old leaders, so no one can casually ruin his life's hard work.
Jiang Lili is the new editor-in-chief, and now she is the one to take over and make the decision. Naturally, we have to listen to her. No one can afford the risk that the book will not be sold.
Looking at the silence of the employees around, Jiang Lili was very satisfied with this scene, saying that the new official took office three fires, and she didn't want to do this at first. The publishing house is doing very well, but it is too sticky to the rules, and the development is very slow, but this time he can agree to publish this book, which is really surprising.
However, Jiang Lili felt that Teacher Dong must have misread it, or she was deceived by the author of the book or someone under her command. In short, canceling the publication of this book was the most correct decision. , I haven't signed the contract yet. If I sign the contract, it will be too late to regret it, so I can only bite the bullet and continue.
She lowered her voice, issued an order, and said to everyone: "Since no one has any objections, then return the manuscript to the author."
"This...isn't very good."
Fang Cuiping felt very uncomfortable. The matter of whoever was in charge seemed to be a success, but she didn't expect things to go wrong now, and it would not be easy for anyone who was completely rejected and rejected.
"What's wrong, didn't you hear what I said? If you can't do it, you can't do it. There is no need to discuss this matter."
Jiang Lili's words belonged to an ultimatum. After she finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her. Fang Cuiping felt helpless. It was a pity that if this book could not be published, it could be said to be a great loss for the publishing house.
The old leader has a good vision, but it is a pity that his students are not very good and do not know the goods. At the beginning, the old leader said that this book will bring about a great change to the traditional learning method. If you agree with the content of this book, you will definitely give it a try. Children bring unexpected gains. Once you see the effect, it will become a hit book this year, and the sales will definitely be very good.
Fang Cuiping has the same idea as the old leader. She also thinks that this book will become popular. According to the above method, her children learn to start with the most basic English by playing games, and now they like English more and more. The grades have improved significantly, so she wants to publish this book as much as she can to benefit the public.
Moreover, when they learned that it could be published, many parents were also looking forward to it. They originally wanted to ask Chen Yuan to help their children with homework, but they were rejected by Chen Yuan, and they wanted Chen Yuan to publish a book. It's not easy to explain.
As soon as she thought of these things, she began to feel overwhelmed, not knowing how to deal with them.
At this time, after Jiang Lili rejected Chen Yuan's book, she took out a copy of another manuscript from her backpack and sent a copy to everyone present: "Now everyone, please read this. It is a book that is really suitable for our publishing house."
Fang Cuiping took it over and took a look. This manuscript was for teaching Chinese composition, but the content in it was very common, and there was no novel method at all. Compared with Chen Yuan's book, it was far worse. It can be said that although the two books Not the same type, but from a learning point of view, there is no comparison at all.
Besides, primary school students do not need very good writing skills at all. This book is a bit advanced for primary school students, but it is not enough for junior and high school students. Don't take it seriously, but publish this mediocre thing.
"Editor-in-chief, I think this is quite ordinary. Are you really not considering Chen Yuan's book?"
"From now on, don't mention the word Chen Yuan to me anymore. I remember that I answered you clearly that I won't publish that. As for the book in my hand, you can read it first, don't be in a hurry Draw conclusions."
The first draft Jiang Lili held in her hand was written by her relatives. After reading it, she thought it was not bad, and it was very suitable for current students to study. Moreover, their publishing house has always had regular customers. It only needs to promote it to various bookstores. , if you want to buy a better one, there is absolutely no problem, and no matter how much this book sells, it will be divided equally with relatives, and I also have a way to do this without anyone noticing, so that no one can see the problem .
In the end, the publishing house returned the manuscript. Fang Cuiping went to Chen Yuan's home with some parents after get off work. They felt very disappointed that Chen Yuan could not publish the book.
Fang Cuiping said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen, this matter has not been completed. Originally, our old leaders agreed, but because of a sudden illness, we couldn't work, and the new editor-in-chief didn't like this book, so we insisted not to publish it. There is really no other way.”
Chen Yuan understands Fang Cuiping very well. After all, she has been busy with publishing many times because of helping herself, so it doesn't matter if she can't publish it. She should thank Fang Cuiping anyway.
"It's okay, Sister Fang. It's fine if you can't publish it. It's no big deal."
Before Fang Cuiping said anything, a parent next to her felt a little reconciled: "How can you let it go like this? What kind of vision does your new editor-in-chief have? She doesn't even like such a good English book. How high is her vision."
Fang Cuiping was helpless: "I don't know, she took a first draft of an elementary school composition and wanted us to publish it, but I've read the contents, and it's not as good as Teacher Chen's book. I think she is really Look away."
"What's wrong? I think she must have selfish intentions. Doesn't your publishing house have quotas for extra-curricular books every year? I think she just wants to use the books she recommended."
Fang Cuiping also knows this truth, but it is a pity that she has to continue working in the publishing house, so she will definitely not resist the leader: "That can't be helped, she is the editor-in-chief, she has the final say, we are just ordinary employees without the right to speak,"
"Then let's take Teacher Chen's book for nothing and use it for the children? It's actually not impossible. I wish it would be like this, so that my children can be admitted to key schools. Lots of competitors."
A parent surnamed Wang came out to stop everyone from arguing: "Stop arguing, I think so, it's a pity that this book can't be published, but it's too selfish for us to keep it for ourselves, besides, we can't take things from Mr. Chen for nothing, but Paying the book fee alone is too little compared to the originally negotiated copyright fee. Either none of us should learn this book for our children, or we will find another publishing house to contribute. Wucheng is so big, it will definitely An editor with good vision appreciates this book."
When Fang Cuiping and other parents heard it, they asked them to give up this book, so how could they not learn it for their children? And giving up this book, wouldn't that mean giving up the opportunity to make friends with Chen Yuan? If she had any novel learning methods in the future, wouldn't she not be able to see them? So easy to give up.
"It's absolutely impossible to give up. Let's find other publishing houses to publish. There must be more suitable ones."
Everyone agreed with this decision, and expressed their willingness to help contribute. Chen Yuan, in order to express her gratitude, kept them in Shen's family for dinner.
When eating in the evening, Chen Yuan cooked a sumptuous table, and just told Shen Huai to let Shen Mingyuan come over for dinner, so Shen Huai went to find Shen Mingyuan, and when he entered the house, he heard Shen Mingyuan crying softly. He held the rattan in one hand, and the rattan box used to sell melon seeds in the other. If the original rattan was broken, it would definitely not be able to bear the gravity, so a new rattan would have to be added.
Seeing that his younger brother was crying, Shen Huai knew something must have happened. He hurriedly asked, "Ming Yuan, what happened? You must tell my brother if you have something to do. Whoever bullies you, I have my brother to back you up. Afraid."
He thought to himself, could it be that the manager of the newspaper office bullied Shen Mingyuan again? Or did something happen while setting up the stall
Shen Mingyuan kept trembling, choked up and said: "Brother, my dad knew I was back, he went to the stall to look for me, and asked me why I didn't say hello to him in advance when I came back, and didn't let me set up a stall outside, he said that I It's because you don't learn well."
When Shen Huai heard this, he became furious, and his face immediately became extremely ugly. Shen Chang'an really went too far, what kind of skill is bullying his younger brother, is he trying to get back that little face from the third child
"Mingyuan, don't cry. You are right about this matter. He is wrong. He is not qualified to be a father at all. It's fine if he doesn't support you. He's still causing trouble for you. Did he make this rattan? He made you The stall is broken”
Shen Mingyuan became even more sad when he heard this, and the tears fell even bigger: "More than ten catties of melon seeds were spilled on the ground, and they can't be sold. Before a deal was made, they were disturbed by him, and the frame was also damaged. Yes, I just bought this one not too long ago, so I can’t bear to throw it away, but it can still be used after repairing it.”
Shen Huai took a deep breath: "Don't mend this frame, I will buy you a new one when I come back later, go and calculate how much money was lost."
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"We can't let him bully you for nothing. I'll settle the score with him later. You can rest assured to set up a stall in the future. I guarantee that he won't dare to bully you again."
Shen Mingyuan snorted, and hurried to count how many catties of melon seeds were lost, "There are fifteen catties of melon seeds in total, the price is less than 5 yuan, and there are two baskets of twenty-five cents, the total is..."
Shen Huai shook his head: "It's 20 yuan in total."
Shen Mingyuan was stunned for a moment and explained, "Not that many."
"I said yes. Since he dared to smash your business, he must be prepared to lose money. Besides, it's only natural for us to seek losses from him."
"Isn't that too much?"
"Not much, this is what he owes you."
After Shen Huai finished speaking, he went to the Shen family's old house. Shen Chang'an was leisurely watching TV and drinking tea on the sofa. He didn't call when he saw it. The third son had to deliver newspapers during the day and cook melon seeds at night. Selling melon seeds, getting up early and being greedy every day, unable to sleep for a few hours a day, Shen Changan works comfortably in the unit, how could this kind of person understand his hard work
But he can not support it, he can stand on the sidelines, but he can't destroy it. This incident is really infuriating.
Shen Huai asked when he entered the door: "The third child has already suffered a lot. Do you still have any conscience? He is your own son after all, and you treat him like this. Sometimes I really doubt us. Was the brother adopted from outside? Why are you so kind to your stepmother's son and daughter? You are so mean to us."
"You son of a bitch, I'm a dad, do you just talk like that to your elders? I worked so hard to raise you, and that's how you miss me? If I were really mean to you, I would have kicked you out of the house long ago .”
"What's the difference between you treating the third child like this and being kicked out of the house? Don't think that I don't know the little tricks in your heart. You send him to the wood factory because you want to be out of sight and out of mind, and far away from home. Don't get in the way, in fact, you have long hated him as a disabled person in your heart, but have you ever thought that he doesn't want to be like this. And what's wrong with him setting up a stall? It's all made by him with hard work, why do you Completely deny it."
Shen Chang'an's face was also very ugly when he heard it: "The third child set up a stall for such an unscrupulous errand, wouldn't it be the idea of your husband and wife? I said that the third child is so honest, how could he think of speculation? It turns out that you are behind the scenes Come out, and say that I deny it, I am doing this for his own good, if you don’t learn skills well, you will definitely be useless in the future, you think this is for his own good, but in fact it will harm him.”
Shen Huai doesn't want to continue to entangle with Shen Chang'an on this matter, right, because the damage he caused to the third child has already been formed, no matter how much he says, it will be irreparable, and the rest are all false, and it is worth losing money.
"I don't want to break up with you today. You smashed more than 10 catties of melon seeds for the third child. You can pay as much as you need. If you don't pay, I will call the police, or let everyone in your unit know."
Shen Chang'an's weakness is accurate, he is a person who cares about face, and hates his scandals to be known by others, of course, it is really a failure to live like this.
Shen Changan's face turned green in an instant: "If I knew you were like this back then, I shouldn't have given birth to you. I can't afford to mess with you. I'll give you money. Don't ask me for anything in the future. I will treat you as if I didn't have you two children. .”
"Okay, it's a deal. We can't ask for it. The loss is a total of 20 yuan. Let's pay for it."
Shen Changan looked at Shen Huai suspiciously: "Who are you fooling, why are there so many?"
"Not much, this is what you owe the third child. I don't care how much you want. I'm ashamed of you when I treat you like a father. Other fathers treat their children sincerely. You, your own flesh and blood, are raised by your stepmother. The salary has been transferred, but this is fine, let your stepson serve you when you are old, don't come to beg us."
"Okay, I will be disabled in the future, and I will never trouble you, I will leave as soon as I give you the money."
After Shen Changan finished speaking, he threw down a handful of change and chased away angrily.
Shen Huai put the money in his pocket and finally said: "You better remember what you said, if you still trouble Shen Mingyuan, I will never let you go."
"Go, go, I really don't want to see you for another minute."
Shen Changan felt that he had raised this son for nothing. The second son is more promising than the third son, but what's the use? Isn't he a wolf-hearted man? His health has always been good, and he will definitely not count on them when he gets old. .
Shen Huai went back and bought a new Teng frame for Shen Mingyuan, and compensated him the twenty yuan.
After receiving the compensation money, Shen Mingyuan's complexion improved a lot, but he was still depressed, and he didn't go to Shen Huai's house for dinner at night.
Chen Yuan hasn't seen Shen Mingyuan in the past few days, but on her own data panel, the happiness index of the other party has once again broken through a new low. It had finally risen a little because of making money selling melon seeds, and now it has returned to the original position.
When I came back and heard Shen Huai say that Shen Changan was looking for trouble, I was really helpless, it was not so easy to help Shen Mingyuan.
Moreover, it would not be easy to raise the index that has fallen. In short, don't be too impatient. Maybe Shen Mingyuan's mental pressure is too great these days, and he needs to relax.
"Ah, do you want to go to the movies tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow you tell Shen Mingyuan not to rush out of the booth after get off work, let's go to the cinema."
"good."
Shen Huai thought that Chen Yuan was really considerate, knowing that Shen Mingyuan was in a bad mood, he specially bought movie tickets to comfort him, but he felt that Chen Yuan was too kind to Shen Mingyuan, which made him feel a little bit uncomfortable, when would he have this kind of treatment Enough.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, when Shen Mingyuan heard the news that he was going to the cinema, his first reaction was to refuse, because it would be too much of a waste of money, and he didn't set up a stall yesterday, so he wanted to sell more today.
Shen Huai knew what Shen Mingyuan was thinking at a glance, and persuaded: "Mingyuan, no matter how tired you are, you can't make money, but life still needs to go on, and do you know what the money is for? Making money is to let To live a better life by yourself, in order to enjoy some things that you have not done, if you only earn money without spending it, you will feel a lot of pressure, very bitter, and even a little thing can overwhelm you. This is what we all do. Unwanted to see."
Shen Mingyuan saves everything, and is reluctant to spend money on everything. Although money is very important, Shen Huai does not want to become a straw that crushes Shen Mingyuan. He should know how to manage his money reasonably and relieve his pressure. As it gets better and better, Shen Mingyuan will become more and more cheerful.
In the end, Shen Mingyuan was moved by Shen Huai and agreed to go to the movies. He suddenly felt that what the second brother said made sense, he was indeed a little too weak, and the second brother had asked his father for the money back, so he should be happier no matter what, and Even if my father doesn't support it, so what, if I really give up setting up a stall, it must be impossible.
After figuring it out, Shen Mingyuan wanted to use the money from the compensation to buy movie tickets for his second brother and second sister-in-law to watch a movie.
The name of the movie is "Wait until the mountain is full of red leaves".
Except for Shen Huai, it was the first time for Shen Mingyuan and Chen Yuan to enter a movie theater in the 1980s. In fact, the facilities in the movie theater at that time were very simple. In front of the center, the current movie screen is not particularly clear, but the atmosphere and experience are still acceptable.
Shen Mingyuan was quite nervous, he followed to his place at the end, sat on the bench without moving a bit, it was Shen Huai who handed him a handful of melon seeds, and he came back to his senses, holding the melon seeds while waiting for the movie Playing it, I thought to myself that a few days ago he was thinking about whether he would have a chance to watch a movie, but now it has really come true.
And eating my own fried melon seeds and watching movies on the big screen is not to mention how comfortable it is. No wonder many customers like to come in with a handful of melon seeds to eat and watch. It is really an enjoyable life.
Shen Mingyuan suddenly had a thought in his heart, it's really good, can life get better, as long as he earns more money, he can enjoy a better life.
In order to be able to come to the cinema more often in the future, I have to work harder.
Chen Yuan is not interested in movies, she is interested in Shen Mingyuan and Shen Huai, both of them seem to be in a good mood, watching movies is indeed the right choice.
Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Huai suddenly turned his head to look at her, not knowing what he was going to do, so he paused for a second, then turned back secretly.
But not long after, he glanced at Chen Yuan again, and was discovered by Chen Yuan again.
Chen Yuan stood silently at the side. At this time, the movie had already started, and the surroundings were completely silent. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of Shen Huai's breathing next to her.
She over-tested, attracted by the sound of his breathing.
In fact, she sometimes suspects that human beings are really magical creatures. In the past, she had no body temperature, no heartbeat, and no breathing. She was completely a different class from human beings.
But now I have become a human being, and I have a human husband, and the human husband is still looking at me.
Chen Yuan also wants to see why a human husband looks at her, because it is difficult to guess the human mind, and she has a lot of experience to make a basic judgment, but she still can't understand the more profound.
For example, if Shen Huai has a good movie, why should he watch it if he doesn't watch it.
Doesn't he look at his face every day? Don't you get tired of watching
Chen Yuan turned her head to the side, looked at Shen Huai's side face, saw his narrow and thick eyelashes, wheat-colored skin, slightly trembling Adam's apple, and sharp-edged outline, the judgment was over.
This kind of appearance should be regarded as a very handsome type in people.
Shen Huai started cracking melon seeds.
Um...
When eating sunflower seeds, his face value dropped a little.
It seemed that he had sensed that the appearance of eating melon seeds would decrease, and Shen Huai poked the melon seeds with his hands, so that the image would not be affected.
But to Chen Yuan's surprise, a melon seed kernel was put into her palm like a superficial touch, which Shen Huai had just peeled.
Well, his looks are even more handsome this time.
The taste of melon seeds is also good.
When Shen Huai saw Chen Yuan eat the melon seeds he had peeled, although he didn't show any expression, the curvature of his lower lip betrayed him.
Chen Yuan was startled, and the index rose.
She looked at Shen Huai quietly, and found that he was really having fun.
"this?"
Shen Huai suddenly became serious for a second, and looked at her as if nothing had happened.
"Um?"
"It's okay~."
Not long after, another small melon seed was handed over.
When Chen Yuan took it this time, she deliberately ran across his fingers with her hand. It didn't matter if she touched it, she felt a lot of energy in an instant, and she was so comfortable.
Because the energy coming from Shen Huai is far more numerous than the other Shen family members, the strength on his body is very good, and Chen Yuan feels like all the hairs on her body are about to spread out.
Shen Huai picked the melon seeds for Chen Yuan again, and she could always touch Shen Huai's fingers. Although she didn't understand why Shen Huai was so happy, as long as it could absorb energy, it didn't matter.
The two touched each other's fingers, feeling each other's warmth.
One after another, the melon seeds entered Chen Yuan's mouth, and she ate them happily. The melon seeds she ate were simply energy.
Seeing that Chen Yuan liked to eat it, Shen Huai sped up the speed of peeling melon seeds.
Melon seeds are sweet, so is his heart.
Unknowingly, they went to the movie theater to end, and the three of them still had a lot to say, but they thought about completely different things.
The next day Shen Mingyuan continued to go to work. He had been working in this newspaper for a month and a half, and he had bumps in the process, but it was still the first job he found, and he still cherished it in his heart.
After watching the movie yesterday, I went home and went to bed early, and today I feel particularly strong. A truckload of ink happened to come outside, and the manager asked them to unload the goods.
The man in the raincoat was named Sun Qiang, and he was the only colleague who had communicated with him these days.
Shen Mingyuan and Sun Qiang went out to carry the ink together. He walked at the end, and his movements were relatively nimble. He carried two boxes of ink out by himself.
This cart has to be carried back and forth four or five times. After Shen Mingyuan carried it three times, when he carried the box for the fourth time, he just picked it up and found that the bottom was full of ink. His expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly put the box back. in place.
But it was too late, and a colleague happened to look at him, and shouted in surprise: "Oh, Shen Mingyuan, why is the ink in your box leaking?"
"I don't know what's going on, I just realized it when I saw it." Shen Mingyuan was a little at a loss, his colleagues didn't listen to his explanation, and turned around to tell the manager.
The manager got angry when he heard it. He looked down on Shen Mingyuan in the first place, and he hated him even more after the newspaper got wet in the rain last time. Hearing that the ink leaked again this time, he preconceived that he must have broken it.
Immediately, he became furious: "Shen Mingyuan, can you do anything else well? Do you know how much a barrel of ink costs? Is your monthly salary enough to compensate?"
Just as Sun Qiang sent a box back, this kind of thing happened unexpectedly, so he helped Shen Mingyuan speak up: "Manager, is there a misunderstanding? You should listen to Shen Mingyuan's explanation first, he probably didn't do it."
Shen Mingyuan calmed down a little this time and said calmly: "It's really not that I broke it, but it was leaked when I found it. It should have been spilled during transportation."
"You still dare to quibble, there are so many barrels of ink, why is the box you touched leaking? Last time, other people's newspapers were intact, but yours was completely soaked."
The manager saw that Shen Mingyuan would tremble uncontrollably sometimes, as if suffering from such a neurological disease, his limbs must not be as flexible as normal people, so don't even think about it, he must have broken it.
Shen Mingyuan was a little aggrieved at first, but he felt that he was really wronged this time, and he felt that there was no need to be patient: "I said, it's not me, how can you believe it?"
"Compensate for the ink money, or give me the bastard."
These words aroused Shen Mingyuan's anger in an instant. He worked here for a month, and he was so angry that he was scolded almost every day. Moreover, the job was not easy, and he only earned 5 yuan after a month of exhaustion. There is no such thing as selling melon seeds for a few days to make a lot of money. The manager is not used to finding fault with him when he has nothing to do. It is very difficult to swallow his anger.
If it wasn't for lack of money, who would be willing to be useless? After going to the cinema yesterday, Shen Mingyuan figured out something. He can't be a slave to money, nor can he be a slave to the manager, just because he earns five yuan a month? Working here, wanting to freely spend money to watch movies in the future is simply a dream, so he doesn't want to endure it anymore, he wants to change to a more comfortable way of life.
Shen Mingyuan suddenly shouted loudly: "You will use these two words to threaten me, what else will you say? Do you think I can't live without you? Tell you that you are wrong, get out, get out, I won't do it gone."
These words not only shocked the boss, but also shocked several other colleagues. Sun Qiang opened his eyes wide, seeing that Shen Mingyuan, who had always been a bit of a wimp, actually dared to resign.
They all knew that Shen Mingyuan was disabled, and he got this job only by finding connections. The relationship was not very good, but they would not bully him frantically.
In Shen Mingyuan's situation, it was difficult to find a job, and it was difficult for him to get in. If he lost his job, how would he live in the future.
Several people admired his courage, but they really felt that what he said was too impulsive. The manager is a person who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he originally wanted to drive Shen Mingyuan away. Isn't this giving him a chance now
The manager sneered, "Okay, you really have backbone. Listen up, everyone. If Shen Mingyuan said he quit, it's not that I want to drive him away. Don't cry and beg me to come back."
"Don't worry, I won't come back again. When will I get my salary this month?"
Now the manager is eager for Shen Mingyuan to leave quickly, so he doesn't want to rely on his salary: "The salary can be given to you, but you have smashed a few barrels of ink, and you have to compensate according to the price."
"good."
Shen Mingyuan just wanted to leave the newspaper office quickly and leave this suffocating environment. He definitely did not make this decision on impulse, but after careful consideration.
Sometimes the second sister-in-law often said that the rewards of certain jobs are far less than the energy you put in. On the contrary, you can get equal or even several times more income if you pay for some things.
He finally understands now that the job of a newspaper office is the first type. It is a waste of time and energy, and if it doesn't make money, it is better to quit and focus on selling melon seeds.
It is also because I have a choice now, so I am more confident. If it were replaced by a newspaper and rained, I would never dare to resign like this.
When Shen Mingyuan walked out of the gate, Sun Qiang chased after him. He was a little anxious: "Why are you so impulsive this time? What will you do if you really resign? Although I am not happy working here, I have children and wives , It’s not easy to change to another job for a while, I just endure the work and endure the calm for a while, or you can admit your mistake to the manager, it’s better than losing your job.”
Shen Mingyuan shook his head and rejected Sun Qiang's suggestion: "I have a way. As long as people are good at their hands and feet, they can live anywhere. I really can't do it anymore, so I am determined not to go back."
Shen Mingyuan has always kept the matter of setting up a stall a secret. He never told his colleagues, let alone discovered by them. Of course, Sun Qiang didn't know that Shen Mingyuan could still sell melon seeds to make money.
"Hey, why are you bothering? If you lose this job, what will you do in the future? Although this job pays less, you can barely survive."
At this time, a motorcycle happened to be passing by, and it was none other than Shen Chunfu and Zhou Qingmei who were sitting in this car. Their eyes happened to meet Shen Mingyuan who was standing by the road.
I don't know if they heard what Sun Qiang said.
Anyway, at this moment, her gaze was fixed on Zhou Qingmei, her appearance remained the same as before, she didn't show any special expression when she looked at Shen Mingyuan, she just stayed on him for a while, then turned her head to look at Shen Mingyuan. elsewhere.
Shen Mingyuan wasn't too disappointed, but a little embarrassed, embarrassed that he didn't mix well enough, others had motorcycles, but he didn't, and others were rich, but he was poor. This is the gap, but it was Zhou Qingmei's last impression, and it disappeared with the moment she turned her head just now.
He felt that he should let go of this matter, and laughed at himself that he just lost his job, and now is not the time to think about his children.
"Sun Qiang, I'm leaving, see you later."
Looking at Shen Mingyuan's back, Sun Qiang always felt a little regretful, and continued to return to work helplessly after watching for a while.
***
Chen Yuan's English book was submitted to various publishing houses in Wucheng. After half a month, one of them finally expressed interest in her book.
However, the scale of this newspaper is relatively small, and it is said that the benefits are not very good. Generally speaking, its strength is not as good as that of the previous Wucheng Literature Publishing House.
The name of this publishing house is Huayu Culture, and they are willing for Chen Yuan to publish English books, but they can only print 500 copies, and they may not be able to sell if they print too many.
Fang Cuiping and a few parents felt that this number was a bit small, especially since Fang Cuiping was also in the business, and 500 volumes was the minimum amount, and it was not enough to read in the pile of books.
But right now there is no other way but to choose this publishing house.
What Chen Yuan asked for was a sharing contract. Although it may seem risky, if the purchase is good, it will be very profitable.
The editor-in-chief of Huayu Culture has read Chen Yuan's book and thinks it has market prospects, but this kind of book has never been seen before, and it has never been seen before, so I can only print less to test the water. If there is too much investment, they will publish it The efficiency of the society is not good, and it will be worse if it cannot be sold.
Jiang Lili of Wucheng Culture learned that Chen Yuan's book had been published by Huayu Culture, and she had only printed such a shabby number of 500 copies. Three thousand copies will be printed, which is not an order of magnitude in comparison.
But the other party will lose money sooner or later for the five hundred copies, so Huayu Culture is really clueless.
