Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

"Row."

Zhao Xiyan agreed immediately, "But I have one small condition..."

"You say." Jin Youwei said seriously.

"You are not allowed to reveal my identity to anyone."

Zhao Xiyan said sternly, "It doesn't matter if it's the leader of your unit or anyone else. If anyone knows my identity, I will immediately quit... No, I will stop writing immediately."

"No, what if Mr. Lou and the others tell others?" Jin Youwei said dissatisfiedly.

"No matter what, I blame it all on you." Zhao Xiyan said calmly.

"you……"

Jin Youwei was furious and turned his head to look at Lou Bancheng.

"Old Jin, we have been friends for many years, why are you still not trusting me?" Lou Bancheng joked.

"If you can show me other people's manuscripts, I can trust you." Jin Youwei sighed.

"Old Jin, you don't know what's good for you, do you?" Lou Bancheng glared.

"Okay, okay, I owe you a favor this time, okay?" Jin Youwei said helplessly, "Xiao Zhao, I promise, I won't tell anyone your identity... You can sign the contract with a pen name."

"Row."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile.

"By the way, how many words can you write in this copy of "Swordsman"? "

Jin Youwei asked a crucial question.

"About 1.2 million words." Zhao Xiyan said lightly.

"How many?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

"What's wrong with 1.2 million words? Is it that surprising?" Zhao Xiyan curled his lips.

"Two hundred for ten thousand words, twenty thousand for one hundred thousand words, twenty thousand for one million words... You can get twenty-four thousand just for the royalties from this book?" Lou Xiao'e said with admiration on her face.

"That's not good."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "What if Editor-in-Chief Jin is not satisfied?"

"As long as you write at your current level, I guarantee you 20 yuan per thousand words."

Jin Youwei looked at Lou Xiao'e and said, "Xiao'e, don't think that 24,000 is a lot. Who among the famous writers is not a millionaire?"

Zhao Xiyan listened to his words and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Being a writer is a business where you either die of drought or flood.

Not to mention writing books, even if you write good articles, there are many people who earn tens of thousands of dollars a year these days. The only thing is that if you are not in this field, you generally don’t know about it.

"Xiao Zhao, I'll take today's manuscript first. Please give me a pen name." Jin Youwei said seriously, "I'll bring the contract and other things to you to sign in the afternoon..."

"You can't take the manuscript away now. We're still broadcasting this at noon." Zhao Xiyan shook his head. "As for the pen name, how about 'Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng'?"

"Nonsense."

Jin Youwei said with a smile, "Who doesn't know Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Jin Ping Mei"? The name you gave it is not appropriate..."

"Yeah, that's a shame."

Zhao Xiyan sighed and said, "In that case, let's call him 'Jianghu Baixuesheng'."

“It’s a good name.”

Lou Bancheng's eyes lit up.

"I think it's good too."

Jin Youwei nodded with a smile, "In that case... I'll go back and prepare the contract and the money. You can finish writing some more manuscripts today, and I'll send it out this time."

"Excuse me, how many words do you publish in each issue?" Zhao Xiyan asked curiously.

"This issue will be published with 10,000 words first."

Jin Youwei chuckled and said, "If sales are good, I will change the monthly magazine to a bimonthly magazine, and publish 5,000 words per issue."

"Also."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile.

Five thousand words in half a month, less than a thousand words a day, this workload is acceptable.

"Okay then, I'll go back and prepare."

After Jin Youwei shook hands with him, he walked out quickly.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm so sorry..." Lou Bancheng blushed and said, "I didn't know you and Lao Jin had such a connection."

"It's okay. Come to think of it, I should thank you." Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "Now I have made a lot of money. I am so happy."

"Hey."

Lou Bancheng laughed dryly and said seriously, "Xiao Zhao, I heard from Xiao E that you want to borrow my car?"

"Correct."

Zhao Xiyan nodded and said, "I'm going to Changping... Don't worry, I'll pay for the gas and the damage to the car myself. How about I give you 500 yuan?"

"Ouch."

Mrs. Lou looked shocked.

She originally thought that Zhao Xiyan was borrowing her car for free, but she didn't expect that he was willing to pay 500 yuan.

"No money is needed."

Lou Bancheng said helplessly, "Can you take Xiao E with you..."

"What the hell?"

Zhao Xiyan's eyes widened. "Boss Lou, do you know why I went to Changping?"

"I know."

Lou Bancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao E told me everything... But she has never left the city, so she wants to go to the countryside this time. I think that's fine."

If Lou Xiao'e hadn't pestered him all night yesterday, he would never have agreed to such a ridiculous request.

Of course, if Qin Huairu wasn’t there.

Not to mention a night together, he wouldn't even nod even if Lou Xiao'e knelt on the ground.

"I say... Mr. Lou, is it appropriate for a grown woman like her to follow me to Changping?" Zhao Xiyan sighed.

"Isn't this just like going out with friends for two days? Why not agree to that..."

Madam Lou smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, to be honest, I only have this one daughter in my family. Even if he wants the stars in the sky, I will find a way to get him."

Zhao Xiyan fell silent.

They have come to this point, what else can he say?

"Xi Yan, please take me there."

Lou Xiao'e held his hand and said, "I promise that I will never cause you any trouble..."

Xi Yan?

Lou Bancheng and Mrs. Lou looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

How long have they known each other? And they're already calling each other so intimately?

"Don't shake it. I'll ask Qin Huairu later. If she agrees, I'll take you there." Zhao Xiyan said helplessly, "If she doesn't agree, I won't lend you the car."

He just didn't want to take the bus, but he didn't expect it to cause so much trouble.

"I'll go talk to her..."

After saying this, Lou Xiao'e ran out the door.

"return……"

Zhao Xiyan and Lou Bancheng and his wife all shouted.

He even rushed out, but where was the trace of Lou Xiao'e?

"Boss Lou, how did you teach Lou Xiao'e?"

Zhao Xiyan took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"you ask me?"

Lou Bancheng snorted coldly and looked at Mrs. Lou.

"Why are you looking at me? Didn't you spoil your daughter's temper?" Mrs. Lou said dissatisfiedly.

"What am I used to?"

Lou Bancheng was furious. "If you and your daughter hadn't agreed yesterday, would I have agreed?"

"Ouch."

Madam Lou glared and said, "Did I ask you to agree? I already said it's not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be together... What did you say? Didn't you say that Qin Huairu was still there?"

"Isn't what I said the truth?" Lou Bancheng said confidently.

"What is the truth? Look at your daughter. She wants to dig out her heart and feed it to Zhao Xiyan..."

"I don't know who took the manuscript yesterday and read it over and over again..."

……

Zhao Xiyan sat obediently on the stool, watching the two people arguing with each other. He didn't dare to breathe, for fear of getting into trouble.
