Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories

In just two months, Dayan Bookstore generated a net profit of 50,000 taels of silver!

The cost of text and paper is not high, so the net profit income is terribly high.

Jiang Zhili was greatly surprised when he heard this at home. He never thought that the bookstore's profit could reach such a level. And judging from the current situation, Dayan Bookstore's revenue still has huge room for growth!

Now he really believed that Jiang Xu had inherited his business skills and was even better than him. He was very pleased for a moment and even started to like Helan Jue.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, was what the master said actually true? Didn't Helan Jue know that they were going to Lingyin Temple and make arrangements in advance?

Only Helan Jue himself knows the answer.

……

As Dayan Bookstore's revenue increased, Jiang Xu also raised the salaries of his employees, and planned to give these employees and contracted authors some bonuses during the holidays.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it good grass.

Since the magazine received a good response after its publication, Jiang Xu extended an olive branch to the authors of those works that received a good response, asking them to sign contracts with Dayan Bookstore, with a 40% and 60% split of the text revenue, and the same applies to the revenue from rewards.

This move enabled many unsuccessful scholars from poor families to find jobs, and also helped many scholars who failed the imperial examinations find new ways out.

Many authors were stunned when they received their first royalties. In the past, they had to write for bookstores and stay up late to write in order to get some small change. But holding more than one hundred taels of silver in their hands was like a dream.

Even if I split the profit 40% to 60% with the bookstore, it would still be worth it!

This profit gradually encouraged those who had previously been afraid to take the step to sign a contract with Dayan Bookstore to do so boldly.

It is truly a win-win situation.

"Young Master, this is today's manuscript."

The bookstore manager was led into the mansion by Chunhua and handed the daily manuscripts to the boss for inspection.

Wang Changgui was the newly hired manager of the Dayan Bookstore branch. When he was first brought in to meet his boss, shock was written all over his face.

Who would have thought that the real owner behind such a new bookstore was actually this young master of the Duke's Mansion who was once unlearned and unreasonable?

Mr. Su is only the boss in name only...

To this day, Wang Changgui still feels like a dream when he comes to the Duke's Mansion to meet Jiang Xu. He has to admit that this young man, who is only nineteen years old, is full of momentum in his every move.

Jiang Xu was wearing a simple black long gown with a waistline today. The auspicious cloud patterns on the fabric made him look noble and made his fingertips look as white as jade.

He casually turned a page, then raised his hand to ask Chunhua to take Wang Changgui downstairs to rest. The specific matters could be discussed in detail after he had reviewed the manuscripts.

After the two left the study, Jiang Xu lost all his image, leaning lazily on the couch with a smile of great interest on his lips.

Ever since the news of his marriage to Helan Jue spread, the hot topics on the Big Eyes Forum have focused on this marriage.

At present, the paper version of the forum building is in his hand.

[What do you think of the marriage between the young master of the Duke's Mansion and the Prince of Dingbei? ]

How is your mother? [A good marriage is a gift from heaven.]

Two sleeves clean wind: [randomly match mandarin ducks. 】

[Is there really no author who continues this story? I am willing to reward you with 100 taels for your contribution.]

Entering my room in the middle of the night: [I don’t know whose young lady upstairs is, this nickname is very suitable for me. ]

[The bookstore administrator warns once: Do not speak frivolously to female users. If you do this three times, you will be blacklisted for life.]

Li Nu and I never go out: [Thinking back to the past, the Dingbei King was also a handsome man, the best in the capital, and I even dreamed of him... But if such a beauty can really live a long life as the master of Lingyin Temple said, this marriage must be a great one. But I heard that Young Master Jiang and the prince are not on good terms. If they really get married, wouldn't the Dingbei Palace be in turmoil in the future? ]

I only eat one bowl of rice today: [The scene must be very exciting, the mischievous young master Jiang is suppressed by the calm King Dingbei... Hehe. ]

The most beautiful lady in the capital: [Don't talk nonsense. How could the prince be interested in such an arrogant young master? I would rather the prince never marry than welcome such an ancestor into the palace. ]

Wanwan: [This is hilarious. If the prince doesn't marry the young master, will he marry you? What's the most beautiful woman in the capital? Are you Xiao Yumo, the princess of the Ruyang Wang family? ]

Why doesn't God send down thunder to kill you: [Many years ago, I heard that the princess had a one-sided love for the Dingbei King, but the Dingbei King was devoted to fighting for the country and guarding the borders, and he had no intention of marrying. Princess Xiao also said that she would not marry anyone other than the Dingbei King in this life, but after the Dingbei King was poisoned on the battlefield and his legs were crippled and returned to the capital, the infatuated princess never stepped into the palace to visit him. The promise of not marrying in this life seems like a joke now.]

Wanwan: [It seems that some things should not be said too early. Such love is really shallow. It is a good thing that the prince did not give in back then. ]

The Most Beautiful Lady in the Capital: [How did you know that Princess Xiao didn't go to visit? You made up a lie that was quite convincing! The courtesan of Yuchun Garden was named Qing Wan, so you are not that prostitute? How dare you leave a message on the bookstore forum? You really stained the paper and pen of Big Eye Bookstore! Don't reply to me again, I find it dirty to say one more word to you!]

Wanwan: [Are you anxious? Could it be that what I said is true? So what if I am, and so what if I am not? The bookstore owner said that everyone, regardless of their wealth, status or class, can participate in the discussion of the bookstore forum. I really don’t know where the nobility of you people lies. The Prince of Ruyang has set foot in Yuchun Garden. What the princess means is that your father is also dirty? Who is dirty, the man or the woman? ]

【well said! 】

[The so-called high and low are all divided by humans, but who knows the character of the people who make the distinction? Before you judge others, look at yourself first.]

[Alright, alright, what's wrong with this building? If you want to argue about the marriage between Prince Dingbei and Jiang Xu, go somewhere else and start a new topic.]

[Speaking of which, I have heard from a relative who worked for the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince that both the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were interested in the young master. Now that His Majesty has issued the decree of marriage, aren't both princes doomed? ]

[What's the point? Aren't those two obviously going for the Jiang family's power? If you want to use her like that, you might as well marry the King of Dingbei. Being a widow is better than being used by others! ]

【Please be careful with your words! 】

Jiang Xu smiled, then frowned hesitantly. Some comments against the royal family were indeed sensitive. If they were really spread through the forum of Dayan Bookstore, it might cause some trouble.

But being able to stir up a wave of public opinion against the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince was exactly what he wanted.

Jiang Xu thought for a moment, picked up the pen and made a few strokes on the paper, then replaced the word with a few words that made it clear who it was referring to, but did not specify the name.

For example, he replaced Prince Dingbei Helan Jue with He Jue, and Young Master Jiang Xu with Jiang You.

He replaced the Crown Prince as the second in command, and the Fourth Prince as the fourth in command.

This way, even if someone wants to cause trouble, they will have an excuse.

In fact, it is equivalent to the pinyin abbreviation of modern people's word "eating melon", and those who understand it will understand it.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched his series of operations and were all laughing in the barrage.

[Reborn: I was a civet jumping up and down in a melon field in ancient times. 】

[About the incident where I watched ancient people eating melons on the forum in a super modern live broadcast room. ]

[It should be said that the anchor is really good at playing. 】

[Haha! I really like this kind of imaginative plot! ]

After reviewing other documents, I looked out the window and found that a painting of sunset had been hung up without me noticing.

Jiang Xu asked Chun Hua to bring Wang Changgui to the study to explain the changes he had just made. Today's work was almost finished.

Wang Changgui hesitated to speak.

"Just say whatever you want to say," Jiang Xu said, his eyes tinged with fatigue and a sense of oppression. "Don't hesitate when it comes to official business."

"Yes," Wang Changgui nodded repeatedly, and said, "A new author, Mr. Absurd, who became popular in the bookstore a few days ago, asked us to change the contract, changing the four out of the 4:6 ratio to Big Eyes Bookstore and the six to him. If we don't agree, he will consider terminating the contract with us and take his latest serial, Mandarin Duck Luozhang, to another bookstore."

The books of this ridiculous young man have indeed achieved considerable success. He went from being an unknown author to a popular serial author, and even made it to the top ten of the bookstore's author list.

So Wang Changgui found it a bit difficult to handle, so he came to ask his boss for instructions.

I thought Jiang Xu would ask questions in detail, or feel troubled by the matter, or question his work ability.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu did not hesitate at all after hearing this, and said calmly: "Then let's terminate the contract. He can take the mandarin duck curtains away, but he has breached the contract. He must get back all the royalties that the bookstore paid him before the contract can be terminated."

Wang Changgui was puzzled and spoke hesitantly, "Boss, this ridiculous young man has made a lot of money, and the daily rewards received by the bookstore are also increasing. Do we really want to watch him go to another bookstore and attract business for others?"

Jiang Xu snorted and laughed softly, "Do I need him? An employee like this who changes sides will only be a trouble if he stays."

"He has achieved some success today and he is so arrogant that he wants to change the contract. Who knows what stupid things he will do in the future. I hope this troublemaker will go and cause trouble for others as soon as possible."

He paused, then raised the corners of his lips, "Since he has such an idea, there must be someone trying to poach him from behind, but he is worried that he may not achieve such results in the new bookstore, so he is threatening us. Let him go to the bookstore that is poaching people secretly."

Combined with the news from the person who had been keeping an eye on Zhong Chaoci's movements recently, how could he not react to who was behind this?

Someone is trying hard to challenge him.

Jiang Xu sighed and said earnestly: "Manager Wang, we can't let this little rotten apple spoil the whole pot of porridge. If he wants to leave, let him go."

To be able to target such a stupid thing, I guess Zhong Chaoci must have encountered many setbacks on his way to digging people before he was able to dig up this one.

There are some things that I probably didn't have time to check in detail, or I didn't even think about checking them out.

Jiang Xu only discovered the clues recently. Even if Zhong Chaoci did not poach people, he planned to terminate the contract with this ridiculous young man.

Now that someone has taken away this trouble for him, he will want to say thank you to Zhong Chaoci when he sees him again.

After this enlightenment, Wang Changgui finally understood the principle of not losing the big picture for the sake of small gains, and he understood Jiang Xu's meaning and went to reply to the ridiculous young master.

The ridiculous young man's real name was Xu Jieshi.

When he proposed to Wang Changgui to modify the contract, he was also hesitant. The next day, the bookstore clerk came to his door and told him to go to the bookstore. He was delighted, thinking that there was a way.

If Dayan Bookstore is willing to offer him a higher price for his manuscripts, he would naturally be willing to continue writing here. Although the newly opened Chaoyun Bookstore offers a high price, it is still unknown what the future will be like.

The Mandarin Duck Tent became popular only last month, and the royalties he received were just over 100 taels. He had his eyes on a house, so he was tempted by the 500 taels of silver offered by Chaoyun Bookstore. He also knew that he had made his mark on the platform of Dayan Bookstore.

If I continue to stay at Dayan Bookstore, the future benefits will definitely be more than this, but it is unknown if I go to the newly opened bookstore.

After Xu Jieshi discussed it with both sides, he came up with the idea of ​​asking Dayan Bookstore to increase his royalties. After all, he is now an author on Dayan Bookstore's author list, and he has a lot of readers praising him.

Only one fifth of the book has been published, and Big Eye Bookstore will not let him go, so his plan will definitely work!

All the way to the bookstore, Xu Jieshi was complacent about his plan, little knowing that it was a stupid idea.

Being led into the backyard by the waiter, Xu Jieshi saw two cups of steaming tea in the reception room as soon as he entered the door. He became even more certain that he had succeeded. He smiled and went straight to Manager Wang who was sitting in the main seat.

"Manager Wang, do you want to discuss the contract with me?"

Xu Jieshi was about to sit down on the main seat on the right, but suddenly he heard a lukewarm voice in his ears -

"What else is there to discuss? Hasn't Mr. Absurd already made the decision to leave?"

The voice was clear and sounded very young. Xu Jieshi was stunned for a moment: "When did I decide to..."

Before he finished speaking, a young man with a noble air in blue clothes appeared in front of Xu Jieshi. The white jade tassel on his waist swayed with his slow steps. The young man calmly sat down in the main seat, opened the tea bowl and took a sip.

Xu Jieshi was wondering who this young man was and why he was so arrogant. He raised his eyes to look at Manager Wang and saw that he had stood up from the main seat on the other side at some point, slightly bowed his waist, and looked at the young man with a very respectful expression.

"Boss, I'm going to go out and get busy now."

Jiang Xu closed the lid of the cup to scrape off the foam, revealing his delicate features. A look with a hint of oppression swept over him, causing Xu Jieshi to forget what he was going to say. After a while, he pointed at Jiang Xu in disbelief and said:

"You are the boss? You haven't even won the title yet, how can you be the boss?"

Before Jiang Xu could speak, Xu Jieshi felt a pain in his hand. A man dressed in black, nine feet tall, with a cold and fierce face, appeared from somewhere.

The thing that hurt him just now was the black scabbard of the long sword in the man's hand.

This man was filled with murderous aura, and the way his eagle eyes stared at people with a hint of displeasure was truly terrifying!

"Move your hand away." The man said coldly.

"You, you, you—I just casually said that I wanted to go to another bookstore, are you trying to silence me and kill me?!"
