Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu didn't gain Liu Chuan's trust, and they couldn't do many things in the important process of comic book work.
What they do are all marginal things, such as the design of the cover and typesetting. They have no access to the original manuscript of the painting in the early stage. The only time they can see the manuscript is after a large number of manuscripts go through the assembly line, and then they have the opportunity to get the complete manuscript. .
So the two have been waiting for this opportunity, but Jiang Lili's urging was urgent, and there was no chance to make a move here, and the time dragged on for more than half a month.
Both of them knew that the comic book will be on sale on the 6th of next month, and today is the 17th. If you don't do it, it will be considered a steal, and it will be too late for Wucheng Literature to copy it.
So Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu decided to do it tonight. For the good life and high salary that Jiang Lili promised them, they felt that it was necessary to fight once.
As for what Huayu Culture will become after losing the comic strips, whether it will be ruined or will go bankrupt, it has nothing to do with them.
Stealing the copies went smoothly, with few accidents.
It may also be because Xu Fuan and Zhang Shu are old employees of the publishing house. They have worked in Huayu Culture for more than ten years. Except for the bad relationship with Liu Chuan, other employees of the publishing house trust them very much. When they saw the two of them offering to help, they naturally readily agreed, so it was easy for them to know what they wanted to do.
The copies were obtained so quietly, only the first six copies.
After Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu got the six comic books, they couldn't wait to send them to Jiang Lili as agreed, hoping that the other party could fulfill their promise.
After the two succeeded, they rushed to Wucheng Literature Publishing House as soon as possible. The distance between the two publishing houses was not close, and it took 20 minutes by car. At this time, the employees of Wucheng Literature Publishing House had not left work.
But it was also a coincidence that after Xu Fuan and Zhang Shu came, the editor they met was Fang Cuiping, and they said, "I'm looking for your editor-in-chief Jiang."
"Is there anything you two want from her?" Fang Cuiping didn't know the two of them, so she felt that they were not clients of the publishing house, so she asked again.
Xu Fu'an said: "We are his friends, if you help us communicate something important, she will definitely agree to see us."
A little impatient in my heart, I continued to explain, who told them that they have not achieved their goal yet, so they can only be patient first.
Fang Cuiping didn't know why, but seeing these two people gave her a strange feeling, they didn't seem to be here to talk about serious work, and they didn't reveal their identities when they came, they just said that they were friends of the editor-in-chief and they should come to deal with private affairs.
Although she was a little puzzled, she still entered the office and communicated with Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili was very excited when she heard that Xu Fuan and Zhang Shu had come, so she hurriedly asked Fang Cuiping to invite them in, which made Fang Cuiping surprised. Not as enthusiastic as it is now.
Fang Cuiping felt more and more that what those two people came to do was absolutely unusual. During the conversation, because they were separated by the door, they couldn't hear what they said outside. After Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu both left.
Jiang Lili had just called all the editors in for a meeting. Fang Cuiping was still sitting in the first seat on the right. There were a dozen people in the office. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know why they were called in.
She clearly watched Jiang Lili take a stack of black and white copies from an envelope bag on the table, and said to everyone.
"I just received a submission, and you need to use the shortest possible time to type it out and release it on the 2nd of next month."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and wondered why they were in such a hurry for this manuscript. In the past, no matter how good the work was, it had to wait at least a month, and besides, it hadn't been reviewed yet, so how could it be hasty.
Editor-in-Chief Jiang became more and more domineering, and the subordinates were dissatisfied with her attitude, but almost all of them dared not speak up and swallowed their anger for the sake of this job.
Jiang Lili urged: "You read it first, I guarantee you will be surprised after reading it."
When Jiang Lili first saw this manuscript, she was also shocked by the bold content on it. No wonder Liu Chuan wanted to sign a contract with Chen Yuan again. Chen Yuan really has two brushes and can draw such novel things. The first one, in the current situation where people have hardly seen anything in the world, if it is released, it will definitely cause a sensation.
So this manuscript is bound to be obtained by myself. Unfortunately, these manuscripts are not finished, which means that the follow-up will still be a long series
It should be impossible for Chen Yuan to paint a follow-up, unless he finds a painter himself and imitates Chen Yuan's painting style to come out, there is nothing to do in front of him, he can only do this.
After Jiang Lili received what she wanted, she promised Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu that she would not come to Wucheng Culture to work until the novel was published. Do not agree.
Xu and Zhang, of course, dare not tell the matter secretly. If such a big matter is leaked, the two of them will have to go around. If you wait until next month, if you can't find any evidence, then it will be a blessing in disguise.
Fang Cuiping and the others picked up the copied manuscript and checked it by themselves. When they saw it for the first time, they felt that the painting style was familiar no matter what they looked at, as if they had seen it somewhere before. Attracted by the content, I am curious who is the author? Being able to draw such a wonderful scene, and it is so real that one has to believe that this may really be the future world.
Looking out of the corner of her eyes, she accidentally discovered that there was an inconspicuous steel seal on the back of the envelope containing the copy. When she saw the pattern on the steel seal, Fang Cuiping's face changed instantly.
This turned out to be the steel seal of Huayu Culture Publishing House. She had bought English books from the other publishing house before, so she naturally remembered what the steel seal looked like. The manuscript of Arima Culture
Fang Cuiping has been in this business for many years, and it’s not that she has never seen malicious competition from her peers. Today’s matter is tricky to guess with her toes. How could it be such a coincidence? The envelope brought by the other party is the steel seal of Huayu Culture. The manuscript inside may be stolen. here.
And no wonder she felt that she had seen this painting style before. Now that she thinks about it and feels that the painting style of English books is so similar, she can find this detail because of her eyesight developed over the years as an editor, so Fang Cuiping guessed that the original manuscript The author may be Chen Yuan.
And now that this manuscript is in Jiang Lili's hands, she actually wants to publish it as soon as possible. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.
Fang Cuiping gambled 10,000 guesses that Jiang Lili wanted to sell the stolen artwork first, and seize the opportunity before the other party, so that the other party would have no way to continue to sell it, and even if it was barely released, she would have to face a lawsuit. It is shameless to put your own name on your works, which is plagiarism.
No, she was determined not to let this happen.
However, Jiang Lili's proud voice pulled back her reason again.
"How about the manuscript, isn't it very avant-garde, put down your other work first, and do this first, and then I will give you an extra month's bonus."
Fang Cuiping gritted her teeth angrily, but she couldn't say this in person. She was afraid that if she contradicted Jiang Lili now, it might make things worse. The top priority is to let Editor-in-Chief Liu and Chen Yuan know about this matter so that they can deal with it as soon as possible.
Fang Cuiping contacted Liu Chuan as soon as possible the next day and told him about the incident. After Liu Chuan received the news, he broke out in a cold sweat. Their publishing house has devoted all their efforts to create works. If Wucheng Culture sells it first, all previous work will be for naught. Chen Yuan's works have also made wedding dresses for others.
It was a mistake in his management, and this kind of mistake was simply too fatal.
There are also many loopholes within Huayu Culture's employees, and there have been ghosts among them, which is why this happened.
There is a saying that it is difficult to defend against house thieves by day and night. After this incident, Liu Chuan must carry out a thorough cleaning to sweep out all the traitors.
Chen Yuan and Shen Huai also knew about this matter, and they were both very angry, but Shen Huai was more angry than Chen Yuan. He witnessed how difficult it was for Chen Yuan to draw the comic strips. This is because she worked a lot This work, which was completed day and night, was plagiarized like this, and it was stolen silently. If it wasn't for the editor who knew Fang, and someone found out and reminded them, things would have gotten worse.
If he didn't find out, wouldn't he be defeated by the other party
So when I think of this, I feel a wave of fear.
So this time, the other party must not be let go. If the other party dares to plagiarize Chen Yuan's work, the other party will have to pay a heavy price.
Chen Yuan suddenly felt that the technology was too backward now, and it was inconvenient to collect evidence when something happened, because the publishing house did not have a monitor, so the solution to the case depended on the confession of the suspect.
This will easily lead to many cases that cannot be filed at all. In this environment, if you want to protect your legal rights, you must be more careful.
Fortunately, she kept an eye out for the patent registration of both the comic book and the English book before handing over the manuscript to Liu Chuan. The patent registration can prove that the original author is Chen Yuan herself. It doesn't matter, after all, the copyright has not yet been issued, who can prove that she drew the manuscript after it is sold? It is impossible for Liu Chuan to trust him 100%.
Although it has been registered, if it is discovered late and someone else takes the lead, then the loss will be one's own interests, and it may be very troublesome to deal with it at that time.
Therefore, to ensure the safety of the manuscript, Liu Chuan asked him to step up precautions.
Shen Huai used his interpersonal relationship to ask his classmates in the Municipal Public Security Bureau to deal with this matter. He was really angry this time, and he insisted on a serious and thorough investigation to kill this matter in its infancy.
If Liu Chuan hadn't discussed with Shen Huai and wanted to collect evidence, he would have wished to catch the ghost right now. After many days of observation, he only discovered that there were indeed problems with two people.
These two people are Xu Fuan and Zhang Shu.
It was the two editors I reprimanded before, because of the conflicts caused by the publication of the English book, they were not convinced by my discipline at all. The original plan was that in the second half of the year, the publishing house regained some vitality and recruited some new blood, and then sent them replace.
I didn't expect that if I kept it, I would have long nights and dreams, and something big happened.
Xu Fuan and Zhang Shu have been living in fear these days. They always feel that the atmosphere in the unit seems to be very tense. Every time they see Editor-in-Chief Liu, they feel something is wrong. If nothing happened, they thought they were doing something was discovered by them.
Calculating that there are still five or six days before the next day, the time is getting closer, as long as Wucheng Culture Publishing House has a comic book, there is no need to continue to suffer in Huayu.
The two worked with trepidation, and one night when they got off work, two police officers with big hats came to the door of the unit.
"You are Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu. Now I suspect that you are related to a theft case. Please come with us."
When Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu saw the police, their faces turned pale. A thought flashed through their minds, that the matter must have been exposed, was it a theft? Why did it become so serious.
Jiang Lili has finished printing, and is starting to find channels to sell. There is a room full of comics, all of which are processed overnight. The quality is not particularly good, but the quantity has won.
While she was busy in the warehouse, someone from the court came to her door, just because of this batch of comic books, the other editors of Wucheng Literature were also shocked, not knowing what happened.
Jiang Lili's face was extremely ugly. She pretended to be calm and accepted the summons from the court staff.
When he saw the above content, he said with an ugly face. "What's going on, damn Liu Chuan."
Unexpectedly, Liu Chuan actually took her to court.
How dare he, how can he have evidence
Of course, Liu Chuan followed the instructions of someone with a heart, and reported to the police that the employees of the publishing house had stolen important manuscripts worth 30,000 yuan, which turned into a criminal case.
Although the value is not easy to define, its nature is completely different from civil litigation. After Xu Fuan and Zhang Shu were taken away by the police, they confessed to their theft of manuscripts.
As for whether Jiang Lili constituted the crime of illegal embezzlement or plagiarism, she will have to hand it over to the judge for judgment. Anyway, Liu Chuan has already done what he has to do.
However, this incident was a very serious lesson for Liu Chuan, and it also gave him a deep warning. Fortunately, there is a solution this time, but it is impossible to be so lucky every time. If the same mistake is made again, then There is really no way to recover, and it is impossible for myself to forgive myself.
So after this matter was resolved, Liu Chuan installed monitoring devices inside and outside his publishing house. This set of monitoring cost more than 20,000 yuan, and all of them were imported electronic products, which were expensive and expensive on the market. It's rare, and most people probably can't afford even a fraction of it.
He has spent a lot of money, no matter how expensive the price is, he must install surveillance. The money is nothing compared to the value of the comic book.
But 20,000 yuan, usually the publishing house can't make it back for a year, which makes the company that is not rich in the first place even worse.
In addition, Liu Chuan also came up with a non-disclosure agreement. In the future, as long as he is an employee of his publishing house, he must sign the non-disclosure agreement before he can access the manuscript.
It was Monday morning again, and a huge scandal was exposed in the headlines of the newspaper this morning. Citizens who bought newspapers on the street were talking about it while pushing their bicycles.
"Wucheng Literature Publishing House plagiarized the comic strips that Huayu Culture Publishing House has not yet released. The comparison pictures are exactly the same, as if they were copied."
"With such a big publishing house, it would be shameless to plagiarize other people's works, so you don't have any works?"
"Can face be eaten? Now you can do anything for money. This matter has been exposed. If it has not been exposed, the original author has been plagiarized and there is no evidence. There are many such injustices."
"The original author is also miserable. He almost helped someone make a wedding dress. Fortunately, the heavens have the eyes to expose it."
"Wucheng Literature is really embarrassing this time. It's an old-fashioned publishing house, and this is the only way to do business? I will never buy books from their publishing house in the future. Maybe they are all plagiarized from others."
"I heard that not long after the editor-in-chief of the Wucheng Literature Publishing House was changed, so many moths came out. It's too embarrassing for the people of Wucheng. They named it, and now there is a scandal. If outsiders know, Then what do you think of us Wucheng people?"
"Boycott this publishing house in the future, nail it to the pillar of shame, and discredit this land."
"The name of the plagiarized original author looks familiar. The author of the English book my child bought before seems to be the same author."
"I remember it too, not to mention that this comic book is pretty good-looking, where can I buy it."
"It hasn't been published yet. Didn't the newspaper say number six?"
"Oh, I'll buy a copy and have a look."
I don't know who suddenly brought the matter to the news daily. Because it was published in the newspaper, Huayu Culture and Chen Yuan's comics became popular before they were released. They showed their faces in front of everyone and left behind. had a profound impact.
This matter caused a lot of trouble, so it was regarded as a typical case, and the relevant departments attached great importance to it.
Although Jiang Lili's case has not yet been tried, the publishing house has been closed down by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and all employees are facing unemployment and layoffs. Many people have not received their wages and will face finding new jobs.
Fang Cuiping was lucky to receive an invitation from Liu Chuan. In order to repay Fang Cuiping's help, Liu Chuan specially arranged a high-paying job for her. Moreover, Fang Cuiping's working ability is very good, which is exactly what Huayu Culture needs.
Xu Fu'an and Zhang Shu were expelled by Liu Chuan, and they are still in the detention center. They need to wait until the case is heard before they can be convicted. But at this moment, they don't want this comic book to become popular.
If it is more popular, the value may be higher. If it is really worth 30,000 yuan, the sentence will start at ten years, and the rest of your life may be in jail.
Jiang Lili also thought the same thing. If she really loses the lawsuit, the comic book will be worth more, and Wucheng Literature will pay more. So I really don't want this comic book to become a hit. The more popular it is, the worse it will be for her.
As the day drew closer, it would soon be the 6th of next month. The day when the comic book was released by the publishing house was also because it was published in newspapers, and many people paid attention to the trend of this comic book.
In fact, if the comic book plagiarism case was not fueled by others, it would be impossible to make the headlines of the newspaper, let alone cause the whole city to know about it, and no one would link Wucheng literature and Wucheng place names together.
Once it sits together, this kind of enterprise is undoubtedly a shameful enterprise for the local people, and it must be punished severely. It can be said that Wucheng literature is absolutely cool this time.
Chen Yuan recovered from her daze and looked at Shen Huai. There are so many unreasonable things in this world. There must be someone behind your back to help you. Although some people don't say anything, they can Knowing that he must be working hard behind the scenes, the matter was resolved perfectly, and he also helped them publicize their reputation by the way.
She patted Shen Huai's tall shoulder: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll cook."
Shen Huai's eyes lit up: "As long as you cook, I want to eat."
Chen Yuan touched her chin and thought: "It seems like I haven't eaten fish for a long time, so let's make sweet and sour fish tonight."
Just as she was about to get up, Shen Huai suddenly grabbed her arm and pointed at the tip of Chen Yuan's nose: "Wait a minute, your face is dirty, I'll wipe it off for you."
Chen Yuan wondered: "Is there?"
Shen Huai approached quickly, looked carefully at her face, and suddenly smiled.
"I lied to you!"
Chen Yuan's expression instantly turned awkward, and the paused little expression was very cute: "It's too bad."
Forget it, ignore him and concentrate on making fish.
Shen Huai couldn't help his own laughter behind him, for some reason, he felt very happy just looking at Chen Yuan, but after laughing for a while, he got up and went to the kitchen to help cook.
The atmosphere in the kitchen is also very warm.
The name of the new comic book released by Huayu Culture Publishing House is "Future World"
It caused an uproar due to media attention as soon as it was released.
Many people are like Liu Chuan when he read the comic for the first time. After turning over the first page of the comic, they couldn't help being shocked.
Because many people don't know what science fiction works are at all, and their understanding of technology is still limited to ordinary electrical appliances, equipment in factories, or what they see on TV.
They never dared to imagine the high-tech era that they have never encountered before. Although no one believes that the future world will really become like this, roads are built in the sky, cars are flying in the sky, and no one is needed The factory is all done by machines. Machines can do things that humans can't. Every robot is very versatile.
Moreover, there is knowledge in the book that they have never understood, and each chapter touches their blind spots, so they can't stop reading it until they read the last chapter, the last picture, and still feel regretful.
When I came back to my senses, I found that a total of six copies of this comic book were sold, the comics for the common people, five copies for one piece, black and white colors without coloring, just paperback packaging.
A little better is the hardcover color version, which costs three yuan a piece of plain paper, and there is also a better collection of color paintings, with more exquisite graphics, using playing card paper, which is thicker and stronger. broken.
But the collector's edition costs 6 yuan, and the price is also the most expensive. Although it is expensive, the quality is really good. You get what you pay for. Some people are not short of money, so naturally they choose the best.
In fact, just like human nature, some people think that the collector's edition is in line with their identity, so they naturally buy the collector's edition, or because the painting style is too exquisite, they can't put it down and collect it.
I have to say that the collector's edition looks more comfortable than the black and white style of the public, and the hardcover color edition is between the two, and it also has an audience.
The popular version sold the fastest, and the sales volume was very good. On the first day, 700 copies were sold, not counting the wholesale quantity of bookstores, newsstands, and various small speaker stores.
At first, Liu Chuan thought that the audience should be mostly children, but he didn’t expect that many of them would be bought by adults. It was because Chen Yuan’s works could be read by both young and old, they were high-tech and easy to understand, and the pictures were fresh, which are generally not popular. The things I have seen are very strange.
The cheapest one is RMB 500, and most people can afford it.
Moreover, after these people bought the first book in the morning, they would come to buy the plot of "Future World 2" or "Future 3" in the afternoon, so the accumulated sales in a day add up to an astonishing amount.
The main force of buying comic books is still the children in schools, most of them spend in bookstores, audio-visual stores, and small bookstalls.
Liu Chuan was overwhelmed with work in the publishing house. Seeing the books of comic books being emptied, his nervousness gradually relaxed. Wait a few more days and see, maybe soon we can confirm "Future 7" to "Future 12" "'s release date.

"Dad, I want to buy a comic book!"
"Mom, I want to buy a comic book."
A boy at school saw a comic book called "Future World" in the hands of a classmate, and couldn't help but stepped forward to watch it curiously. As soon as the classmate took out the comic book in the class, other students took it as the focus, and everyone looked at it. I can't put it down with this comic strip, and I have never seen the content inside. I can't even look away.
Among the children, some people kept exclaiming: "This is a robot, it's amazing, it's amazing, I want to be a scientist when I grow up, and develop such a robot."
The boy was squeezed out and couldn't see the comics, but looking at the envious eyes of everyone and the complacent expressions of his classmates, he thought that if he had a comic book like this, he would definitely make others envy him. The video store at the door sells this kind of comic strips.
So as soon as the child came home, he asked his parents to buy comic books with money.
After listening to the parents, they sternly refused: "That thing can't be eaten or drunk, what's the use, don't buy it."
"I want comics, I want comics!" The boy cried when his parents refused to buy them.
Parents: "You just need to be beaten, if you cry again, I will beat you."
The boy felt uncomfortable. He just wanted a comic book. His brother pulled him aside and quietly handed him three yuan, which was the New Year's money saved earlier.
"Go buy it for you, but remember to bring me a copy too."
The boy nodded and smiled.
Not long after, buying comic books became popular in all major campuses. The power and charm of comic books are huge, and the children who are attracted don’t know why they are attracted. A teacher discovered this situation and began to think that the children Not doing business properly, but she didn't know the reason until she opened the comic book.
I can’t blame the children, it’s actually human’s instinct to explore unknown fields and be curious about new things. The author’s control of human nature is very good, that is, he just knows what they like to watch, and knows where the upper limit of acceptance is. The knowledge in it is endless. To challenge the upper limit and make people accept it is not something that ordinary people can do.
After the teacher finished reading this painting, he gave it back to the students, and he secretly bought a copy of "Future 2".
However, although it is popular, not every child can afford a five-one comic book, but if you have a comic book in your hand, it is guaranteed to be the envy of everyone.
Some children couldn't afford the comics, so they borrowed a copy of "Future World" and used pencils to imitate the drawings on the draft book, and scribbled on the little robots in the comics. They loved it very much.
The sales of comic books are also getting better and better. Liu Chuan even has an illusion that he can sell as many prints as possible. This month's profit may be doubled. He looked at the orders that kept coming in and quickly drank a cup of tea. To suppress the shock, I thought this is the rhythm of getting rich.
***
There were many small vendors at the gate of a junior high school. Since Shen Mingyuan encountered the urban management incident last time, he had never set up a stall at the gate of Wucheng Primary School. After a while, it's not as good as the school's sales.
When he came, it was already late, and there was still half an hour before school, and all the small vendors were waiting in line to welcome the children to review after school.
Fortunately, Shen Mingyuan's stall didn't occupy a lot of space, so he just set it up when he found a place, but he didn't expect to see the girl surnamed Zhao who was hiding from the city management for help last time.
This girl also came to set up a stall at the gate of the school. This time Shen Mingyuan noticed that the girl's stall this time took a box and a tricycle. It seems that because of the last incident, she also changed the packaging for herself. It wouldn't be so dangerous if the same thing happened to him.
This time the girl's stall not only has small toys, but also a lot of "Future World" comic strips neatly arranged, it seems that she is planning to sell this.
Shen Mingyuan didn't know that this comic book was actually the work of his second sister-in-law, because he hadn't been to Shen's house for a long time, so he didn't know about it.
But when I saw Ms. Zhao again, I was very happy in my heart. It may be fate to see each other, especially Ms. Zhao seems to have listened to everything she said.
Miss Zhao seemed to have seen Shen Mingyuan too, and waved her hand to greet him.
Shen Mingyuan put the stall next to Miss Zhao and smiled: "Hello."
Miss Zhao nodded to him, and also showed a very sweet smile. She still remembered that this little brother helped her last time.
Shen Mingyuan blinked, pointed curiously at the extra "Future World" on the stall and asked, "What book is this?"
Ms. Zhao just wanted to make gestures with her hands, but she put it down quickly, because she remembered that the other party could not understand what she said, so she took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote on the paper.
"It's a comic book. It's very popular in schools recently, so I bought some in wholesale."
The font is very elegant, neat and beautiful, the characters are just like the person, they are all so delicate.
Shen Mingyuan was very happy to see the content on the paper, and he was finally able to communicate. He asked the question that had troubled him for many days: "Sorry, I asked your name last time, but I didn't understand your mouth shape. I know your surname is Zhao, but I don’t understand the last two characters.”
After listening, the girl covered her lips and smiled lightly, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "My name is Zhao Xueyan, I remember your name is Shen Mingyuan, right?"
Shen Mingyuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, my name is Shen Mingyuan. Your name sounds really nice." The name is really similar to hers, with fair skin and elegant temperament. The name Xueyan is good.
Zhao Xueyan wrote on the paper again: "Thank you, you too."
After Zhao Xueyan finished speaking, she stopped talking and looked at Shen Mingyuan quietly. Her eyes were very bright, and she was very quiet. She also had a special bookish air about her, which made people feel very soft and comfortable.
Shen Mingyuan was a little embarrassed to always look at Zhao Xueyan, but sometimes he couldn't help looking at her, and noticed that the other's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, so he knew that she must have been outside for a long time. The weather is really hot and very hot. torture.
Zhao Xueyan couldn't speak, so she could only bear it lightly, sometimes she would take a handkerchief and gently wipe her forehead.
Without hesitation, Shen Mingyuan took out a bag of cold and delicious orange-flavored ice water from his cold drink box, and handed it to Zhao Xueyan.
Zhao Xueyan couldn't help waving her hands and shaking her head to refuse, how could she want the other party's things.
Shen Mingyuan said: "You're welcome, because the weather is too hot, if it gets hotter, you will definitely suffer from heat stroke."
Zhao Xueyan hesitated for a while, and then wrote on the paper: "How much is it, I will buy you."
"Of course it's free, drink it quickly, it tastes good."
As Shen Mingyuan spoke, he held up a big umbrella to help Zhao Xueyan block the sun. Seeing that Shen Mingyuan treated her so well, Zhao Xueyan felt a little embarrassed, and continued to write: "Then I will treat you to buns after the stall closes."
"OK."
Shen Mingyuan smiled and agreed, and the two sat side by side under the big umbrella, the stuffy feeling disappeared instantly, Zhao Xueyan was holding a bag of ice water, feeling the coldness above, feeling much more comfortable, she took a small bite , instantly moistens the mouth with sweetness, the orange-flavored ice water is sweet with a little sourness, and the cold temperature improves its taste and makes it extra delicious.
Zhao Xueyan thought to herself, no wonder Shen Mingyuan's ice water stall has such a good business, because the taste is really delicious, and in this kind of weather, it is very suitable.
The two were in a daze for a while, and it didn't take long to greet the students after school. This time, Shen Mingyuan's stall was also very popular. As long as the weather was hot enough, he wouldn't have a pack of ice water left.
Many people bought comic books at Zhao Xueyan's stall, especially two students who looked at each other, nodded firmly, and walked towards her stall.
I heard the two children discussing: "We are seventy-five cents each, so we can buy one book together. I will read it after you finish reading. This will save some money. I will buy another one when the pocket money is distributed at home." Book."
After the discussion, he said to Zhao Xueyan: "We want "Future World 3"."
Zhao Xueyan took the change and handed over a comic book to the other party. She felt that it was convenient to sell comic books. There was no need to demonstrate how to play the comic books. In the past, children who bought toys saw her silent and thought she had a bad attitude, so they didn't want to buy it.
Nowadays, comic books are something that children all know, and they don't need to explain them at all. They can't wait to buy them.
The price of a popular comic book is 1.5 yuan, and the wholesale price is 1.3 yuan. Each book can earn 20 cents. It is really easy to earn, and it is more profitable than buying toys.
After those toys were cleared, Zhao Xueyan decided to buy more comic books to sell.
Shen Mingyuan saw that every time a comic book was sold, a smile appeared on Zhao Xueyan's face. Her smile was so beautiful and beautiful that he was stunned.
The business of both of them is very good, and they didn't meet the city management when they set up a stall today.
After closing the stall, Zhao Xueyan did not forget to invite Shen Mingyuan to eat buns, and the two rode to a nearby bun shop.
Having entered the shop, Shen Mingyuan saw Zhao Xueyan wrote on the paper: "Eat whatever you want, today I will treat you."
Shen Mingyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm afraid I'll make you poor."
Zhao Xueyan wrote on the paper: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, eat with confidence."
The two ordered a total of seven steamed buns, probably because they were really hungry, Shen Mingyuan ate five, Zhao Xueyan ate two, poured a cup of tea after the meal, and felt very satisfied after the meal.
Shen Mingyuan didn't want Zhao Xueyan to pay, so he rushed to pay the bill. Zhao Xueyan didn't grab him, stomped her feet angrily, and finally sniffed the paper and wrote: "Then I won't treat you to eat again next time." gone."
Shen Mingyuan nodded: "If you don't treat me, then I will treat you to eat."
Zhao Xueyan had nothing to do with Shen Mingyuan this time, and she didn't want to owe him favors, so before she left, she sighed and gave Shen Mingyuan a comic book worth one yuan and five, which was worth the bun money. They are cheap, not to mention that they have helped themselves, let alone push forward.
Shen Mingyuan took the comic book and put it on his face. Looking at the back of Zhao Xueyan leaving, he thought that it would be great if she came back to set up a stall tomorrow.
Chen Yuan made a large table of dishes, and Shen Huai asked Shen Mingyuan to come and have dinner. This table cooked a lot of big dishes such as sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, etc., as well as refreshing side dishes such as hot and sour red radish shreds, and beautiful colors. Skinned green peppers, and a casserole made of chicken in the middle, a total of eight dishes were made, which made people drool.
And there are guests at home, including Fang Cuiping, who helped them a lot, and editor-in-chief Liu Chuan, because the total sales volume of the comic book has sold more than 3,000 copies, and it is only a few days. Wanben is not a dream.
This time, the situation of comic strips and English books cannot be compared at all. English books have a small audience, and it is a good achievement to sell thousands of copies. What's more, the book How to Learn English is still on sale now, and wait until the second book comes out. , in order to increase some sales.
Comic comics are completely different. As an entertainment product, something to pass the time and relieve boredom, the content is more addictive, and there is no pressure to buy it, so this thing sells fast. Liu Chuan has begged Chen Yuan to continue drawing, and he has already run out of books for a long time.
Dabao and Erbao will never get tired of their aunt's craftsmanship. Before the two children serve the table, the first thing they do is take Niuniu and the three children wash their hands together.
"The comic strip said that there are actually many small bugs in the air that we can't see. These bugs are called bacteria. If you don't wash your hands, you will easily eat all the bacteria in your mouth when you eat, so you must wash your hands well. Wash it with soap several times."
As soon as the children finished speaking, the adults and guests in the family also washed their hands very diligently. There was a kind of effect called comic strips in the family.
Only Shen Mingyuan was confused, looked at Dabao and the others and asked, "What kind of comics are you looking at?"
"Second Aunt's new work "Future World"."
"!!!"
Shen Mingyuan was shocked by Chen Yuan again.
