Rebirth: Recovering My Treasure Girl

Chen Yang and Gu Mei talked for more than an hour. The topic not only revolved around the amount of royalties, but also Chen Yang's new book "Chang'an Rebellion".

At this time, Gu Mei looked at the time and said, "Chen Yang, it's already noon. Let's go have lunch together. I just want to talk to you about the content of your new book."

"Okay." Chen Yang smiled and nodded, agreeing.

Afterwards, the two left the dessert shop and had a meal at a nearby small restaurant.

After eating, Chen Yang sent Gu Mei to the pit entrance.

Before entering the station, Gu Mei said to Chen Yang: "As for the tiered royalties, I will discuss it carefully with the leaders after I get back, and I will definitely give you an answer as soon as possible."

Chen Yang nodded and expressed his thanks.

Gu Mei added: "In addition, I am very interested in your new book "Chang'an Rebellion". I think it is a very interesting story. If it can be published and put on the market, the market response should be very good!"

"It's a pity that my business trip is too tight, otherwise I would want to go to your house to read your new book now."

Speaking of this, Gu Mei couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Yang also laughed and said: "Editor-in-Chief Gu, my book "Chang'an Rebellion" is still being revised and fine-tuned. I guess it will have to wait until the royalty contract is finalized before it can be completed."

"But don't worry, when the novel is officially completed, I can send it to you online."

Gu Mei smiled and said: "Okay! Then you must send it to me as soon as possible. I'm looking forward to it!"

"Definitely!" Chen Yang nodded and affirmed.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words before Gu Mei pushed her suitcase into the station.

Chen Yang waved to Gu Mei, then turned and left.

.......................................

To Chen Yang's surprise, Gu Mei's work efficiency was very high, and she called Chen Yang back two days later.

Gu Mei told Chen Yang on the phone that after their discussions and deliberations, "My Internet Love" decided to use a tiered royalty rate. The specific tiers are:

If the total sales volume is less than 5 copies, a 5% royalty rate will be calculated.

Between 5 and 10 volumes, the calculation is 7%.

From 10 to 15 copies, 10% will be calculated.

If the total sales exceed 20 copies, a uniform royalty rate of 12% will be calculated.

If the book is priced at 26 yuan and the total sales volume is less than 5 copies, Chen Yang personally will receive a royalty of 26 yuan x 5% for each copy sold, which is 1.3 yuan.

7% is 1.82 yuan, and 10% is 2.6 yuan.

If it can exceed 20 copies, personal royalties can reach 3.12 yuan per copy.

Chen Yang is still very confident in "My Internet Love". Although he doesn't know whether it can sell more than 20 copies, there is absolutely no problem in exceeding 10 copies.

Even if it is only calculated based on the 10% royalty rate for more than 10 copies, I will still be able to get 26 by then.

Chen Yang had already calculated this amount in his mind, so when Gu Mei came up with the specific plan for tiered royalties, Chen Yang immediately agreed.

After receiving Chen Yang's affirmative reply, Gu Mei was also very happy and said that she would send someone over to sign the royalty contract as soon as possible.

-----------------------

September 9st is the first day of school.

When Chen Yang reported to school, he also got the transcript of the HKCEE.

Chen Yang’s results are as follows:

Chinese: 115, Mathematics: 103, English: 89;

Physics: 88, Chemistry: 90, History: 85,

Geography: 95, Politics: 75, Biology: 80.

Total score: 820 points.

Chen Yang was quite satisfied with the results and had a smile on his face when he got the results.

The first place in the class and grade is still Ye Shiqi. Except for the three subjects of Chinese, Politics, and Biology, she received full marks in all other subjects.

Jenny Wu’s results were not bad, with an average score of over 80.

As for He Jianjun, it was a bit miserable. He actually failed chemistry, politics, and biology. He was also named and criticized by Liu Changsheng in the class.

After reporting, Chen Yang was about to go home, but Jenny Wu stopped him at this time.

"Chen Yang, have you forgotten something?" Jenny Wu smiled.

Chen Yang was a little confused, looked at Jenny Wu and said, "What's going on?"

When Jenny Wu saw Chen Yang's expression, she immediately became a little unhappy: "Hey! You don't really forget, do you?"

Chen Yang thought hard again, but still couldn't think of it, so he could only shake his head with a smile.

Jenny Wu couldn’t help but rolled her eyes, and then said: “I made a bet with you during the high school entrance examination. Think about it carefully, is this the case?”

With such a reminder, Chen Yang immediately remembered that this really happened!

On the day of the geography test, Jenny Wu made a bet with Chen Yang.

If Jenny Wu can get a score of 90 or above in the geography test, including 90 points, Chen Yang will have to agree to Jenny Wu unconditionally!

Seeing that Chen Yang finally remembered, Jenny Wu showed her transcript in front of him.

Jenny Wu pointed to the geography score and said, "Did you see it? My geography score is 91!"

"Do you know what this means? It means I win, and you have to promise me one thing unconditionally!"

Jenny Wu felt a little proud as she spoke.

Chen Yang smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay, you're lucky, you win this time!"

"What do you mean I'm lucky? I'm the winner?" Jenny Wu said dissatisfied: "This is my strength. I won openly and without any dispute!"

Chen Yang had no choice but to nod again, confirming what Jenny Wu said.

Only then did the dissatisfied look on Jenny Wu’s face disappear.

"Then tell me, what do you want me to promise you?" Chen Yang asked.

Jenny Wu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: “I haven’t thought about it yet, so I’ll owe it to you now, and I’ll tell you when I think about it later!”

"That's not possible. You have to say it quickly, otherwise it will be invalidated!" Chen Yang said.

Jenny Wu immediately became anxious and said: “Why is it expired and invalidated? You never said that when we made the bet, you are not allowed to cheat!”

Chen Yang immediately laughed: "Okay, okay, it's fine if it's not expired and invalidated!"

“That’s pretty much it!” Jenny Wu raised her eyebrows proudly.

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Anyway, think about it quickly, otherwise you will forget it as time goes by, and I won't remind you!"

"Don't worry! My memory is very good, and I will never forget it in this life!" Jenny Wu said confidently.

There were no classes on the day of the report, so Chen Yang went home early.

After returning home, Chen Yang called Zhou Lin.

About twenty minutes later, Zhou Lin called back.

Chen Yang didn't have anything else to do, he just wanted to ask about Zhou Lin's HKCEE results.

After hearing this, Zhou Lin immediately read out her scores in each subject to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang secretly compared while listening. He found that except for geography, which was 2 points higher than Zhou Lin's, the scores in the other eight subjects were lower than Zhou Lin's.

The biggest gap is in English. Zhou Lin scored 100 points, a full 11 points higher than Chen Yang.

After Zhou Lin read out her scores, she asked about Chen Yang's scores.

Chen Yang naturally did not hide anything and truthfully told his score.

Zhou Lin was very happy after hearing this, because she found that Chen Yang's grades had improved a lot.

But Chen Yang felt that it was not enough, so he secretly made up his mind to work harder in his senior year of high school.
