the longest dream

Chapter 13 It's Worth It
"Nine points of royalties, [-] guaranteed copies, and [-] copies. It is estimated that the money you get should be [-]."

Zhao Qiang called on the phone for a full hour and a half, and finally the conversation ended. After putting down the phone, she said to Yang Fengmei and Zhang Qing: "Generally speaking, the maximum royalties for newcomers is only [-]%. Only Situ Wentian and the others can get ten to fifteen points in royalties. However, Zhang Qing's situation is really special, so the agency decided to break through [-] percent."

Yang Fengmei was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Just one point higher is considered a breakthrough...I'm not talking about you, Xiao Zhao, I'm talking about your company, really..."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, it's really rare. Moreover, our agency can advance Zhang Qing's royalties of [-] yuan in advance with a guaranteed print run of [-] copies."

"Ouch, really?"

Yang Fengmei turned from anger to joy, and said happily.

Zhao Qiang nodded and smiled: "It's true. In fact, with this book, Zhang Qing's fate will definitely change. Because from the current point of view, it will never only publish [-] copies, and will definitely print again! Our " "Ancient and Modern Strange Tales" has a history of more than ten years. It has a wide audience and many readers. Every day, the replies to the agency are packed in sacks, and a large part of them are written to Zhang Qing. There is a special person in the publishing department According to statistics, there are more than [-] letters in this part alone. Therefore, we are very confident.

In addition, Zhang Qing, this volume of [-] words is not even half of the novel, right? "

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "No, about a quarter."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "So, this book can at least bring Zhang Qing hundreds of thousands of income!"

Zhang Qing pursed his lips and said, "I checked, and the hospital over there in Shanghai can replace kidneys for uremia patients, and they may be cured after doing so. The cost seems to be [-] yuan."

He looked at Zhao Qiang with flickering eyes, as if he wanted to get an accurate answer.

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "Based on what I know, it is very likely to reach or even exceed this number!"

Zhang Qing suddenly smiled, stood up and bowed to Zhao Qiang, saying, "Thank you, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Qiang was caught off guard, she got up hurriedly and laughed dryly, "Don't be like this, I'm just an editor, it's..." She didn't know how to persuade her, so she went in the opposite direction and said aggressively: "Zhang Qing, "Shooting the Condor" "Once it comes out, you will have status in the world of martial arts in the future, and there will definitely be many other publishing houses looking for you, so don't..."

She wanted to divert the conversation, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Zhang Qing looked at Zhao Qiang and said word by word: "As long as my father's illness is cured, "Shooting the Condor" has a trilogy, and I will authorize you all for free. In front of Teacher Yang, I will never tell lies." .”

Yang Fengmei patted Zhang Qing's tightly clenched hands, and said to Zhao Qiang, "Although this kid is poor, he is good-natured and ambitious. All our teachers like him. I hope you can take care of him more, thank you."

Zhao Qiang nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Yang, the word chivalry is the most important thing in martial arts. If I didn't have these two words, I wouldn't work in the club. Don't worry, we will never let down your trust."

……

After sending Zhao Qiang away, Zhang Qing followed Yang Fengmei's instructions and returned to Yang's house.

After entering the door, Yang Fengmei pulled Zhang Qing and smiled proudly at Wang Zhi, who is also a teacher: "Did you see it? Did you see it? What is a proud student? Do you have such a student?"

Wang Zhi shook his head and smiled, "How can I compare you to such a student? He is better than the teacher."

Yang Fengmei didn't bother to talk to him, let Zhang Qing sit down, but said to him: "Zhang Qing, the teacher knows that you are in urgent need of money and need to make money, but, after all, it is the third year of high school, you can't... delay your studies Do you understand what the teacher means? You are so gifted and talented, the teacher does not want you to regret it in the future." She was afraid that Zhang Qing would drop out of school in order to make money for the family.Or concentrate on writing and neglect their studies.

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Teacher, I understand, I still want to go to college. This is my wish, and it is also the wish of our whole family."

Yang Fengmei smiled relieved when she heard the words, but then said: "When you talk about kidney replacement, it just so happens that your husband just watched a popular science program, saying that kidneys can't be replaced casually even if you have money, and you need a matching type. Kidney source. Even if it is the fastest, it may take a year or two. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about making a lot of money now. The family is on dialysis first, and then find a way to find out about the situation of the big hospital in Shanghai. Learn more carefully ,is not it?"

Zhang Qing understood, he smiled and said, "Teacher, I only spend less than two hours a day on writing. Moreover, if my monthly test scores drop, I will definitely reflect on it and shorten my writing time."

Yang Fengmei sighed when she heard the words, and said: "It's a pity that the teacher's family doesn't have that much money, otherwise I'll give it to you first... Seeing that the money is in front of you, it's unrealistic, and it shouldn't be, to prevent you from earning it to treat your parents. Well, you have grown up, and you are much more mature and stronger than the teacher imagined, so you can make your own decision. Let’s not talk about this, I will ask your husband to buy fish, and I will celebrate it for you today.”

Hearing this, Zhang Qing said with embarrassment: "Mr. Yang, although I really want to stay, I have agreed in advance that I have to go out in the afternoon..."

Yang Fengmei frowned and said, "Where are you going? You don't know the place where you live, so don't run around. Why didn't you tell me about Wang Lei in Class [-] last time? If you didn't tell me, I only found out afterwards. Wang Lei called to the office and severely criticized him. Next time something like this happens, I will clean up with you too!"

Zhang Qing hurriedly explained: "It's not Wang Lei...it's Qi Juan's parents. Because Qi Juan's grades have improved a lot, they thought it was my credit and insisted on treating me to a meal. Qi Juan said several times , I really can't evade it, so I agreed."

Yang Fengmei's face turned cloudy when she heard the words, and she said, "Oh, it's her house. Her mother is okay, she is the leader of the Education Department, she is a nice person, knowledgeable and cultivated, just... Forget it, since you agreed to others, you Go first, no one can be untrustworthy."

After Zhang Qing thanked them again, he bid farewell to the two of them, went out and returned to the dormitory, changed back to his school uniform hastily, and took a bus to Hanzheng Street Tomorrow Bar.

After he left, Wang Zhi said to Yang Fengmei: "You are an amazing student."

Yang Fengmei smiled and said, "Nonsense, you were able to write such a novel when you were in your third year of high school? It's really strange, such a thing really happened around me. I thought it was something that only happened in the story collection, it's a lifesaver. "

Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "You don't understand. He used his family affairs to negotiate with the people from the magazine, which inevitably left people with the impression of selling miserable profits. Not so good. Cultural people, even if you love money, you should get it properly."

Yang Fengmei was immediately upset when she heard that, and she stared and said, "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk! In your situation, try to get it right!!"

Wang Zhi, who was scolded, couldn't laugh or cry: "Listen to me... But later, when he said that as long as his father's illness is cured, the rest will be authorized for free. I can see that he really said that. Even if it is just a thought at the moment, it is a real thought. In this way, people are rare."

Yang Fengmei laughed and scolded: "It's a godsend, the person who talks about it will go up and down, and it's your reason." But she still asked: "Where is the difficulty?"

Wang Zhi is not only a teacher at the school, but also a member of the party committee. He is in charge of publicity and the Youth League branch.

So I still trust his eyesight...

Wang Zhidao: "Generally, people who come from poor backgrounds, especially people who are so poor like him, usually pay extra attention to money and compare pennies and bahts. The most corrupt officials are usually from poor families. This is the reason. The poverty will affect their psychology and even distort it.”

Yang Fengmei was taken aback when she heard the words. After thinking about it again, she immediately said happily: "Yes, you are right. Zhang Qing doesn't take money that seriously! When he wanted to donate money to him earlier, he insisted not to."

Wang Zhi said with a smile: "Whether it is that heavy or not is hard to say in the future. Maybe he will know the beauty of money when he really gets the money, and it's not sure if it will change. But at least for now, his mentality is very good, unexpectedly I expected it. So I think it's rare, and most people can't do it, including adults."

Yang Fengmei smiled triumphantly: "That's right, you don't even know whose student it is! No matter how hard and tiring it is to be a teacher, it's all worth it to have this time!"

She looked at the sofa Zhang Qing had just sat on, and let out a sigh of relief.

It was originally a tragedy in the world, but now seeing the miracle happen with her own eyes, she felt much better in her heart.
