"Don't make trouble, let me sleep some more."

Early in the morning, Du Shuangling, who was in a daze, stretched out her hand to press the big hand that was causing trouble under the quilt, and said angrily.

"You go to sleep and leave me alone. I'll give you a massage." Zhang Xuantian was shameless.

Du Shuangling glanced at him: "Feeding you like that last night wasn't enough."

Zhang Xuan straightened her up, turned over and pressed her over.

Just then, the phone in the living room rang.

Jingle bells. Jingle bells..

Kill someone.

Hearing the call, Du Shuanglingyan smiled and pressed his hand again, urging:

"If you call a landline so early, it's either from abroad or someone is calling you in an emergency. Go and answer it."

Also, everyone around me knows that they already use mobile phones, and they will basically never make landline calls again.

Thinking this, Zhang Xuan got off her and reluctantly went to the living room.

I glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was not a domestic number.

Picking up the receiver, before he could speak, a voice came from over there.

Tao Ge asked: "With such ink stains, did I disturb you and the two actors just now?"

Zhang Xuan looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

Tao Ge smiled: "Look, I knew I guessed it right."

Zhang Xuan was speechless: "You did it on purpose, right?"

Tao Ge said: "Are the two actors by your side?"

Zhang Xuan replied: "Not here."

Tao Ge asked: "Waiting for you in bed?"

Zhang Xuan said angrily: "You are so interested in your private life, just get yourself married as soon as possible. Don't stare at me every day."

Tao Ge said leisurely: "I don't envy you, I solved it myself last night."

Zhang Xuan: "."

These ladies are getting more and more outrageous.

Hey, the older leftover girl really can’t afford to be hurt!

Seeing that he was choked to silence, Tao Ge happily talked about the business:

"Do you know what I've been through these two days?"

Zhang Xuan asked curiously: "What?"

Tao Ge seemed to be in a particularly good mood today and recounted what happened in the past two days in great detail.

The morning before yesterday, when Tao Ge was lying on the bed and preparing to take a nap, a phone call woke her up.

The call was from Cambridge Press.

The other person asked: "Is the author of "The Wind-up Girl" really March?"

Tao Ge yawned, "Didn't you ask before? Why do you ask again?"

The other person asked in surprise: "You haven't paid attention to the market sales of "Harry Potter"?"

Tao Ge said: "I didn't pay attention. My grandmother passed away and I just came back from China last night."

"No wonder..."

The other person asked: "How old is your grandma?"

Tao Ge joked: "94 years old, what? You want to go back and help mourn?"

The other side was speechless.

Tao Ge patted his cheek and said, "If you have something to say, hang up the phone if nothing else happens."

The person on the other side didn't mince words this time: "My editor-in-chief asked me to contact you just now. I want to see "Clockwork Girl" again."

"Huh?" Tao Ge was very surprised.

How did a big publishing house like Cambridge become so spineless?

Do you still want to read a book that has been rejected?

"Uh-huh???"

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Tao Ge naughtily hummed twice, which immediately made the other party lose his temper.

The other person had a headache, but he still said: "Harry Potter is popular! It's completely popular!"

The names JK Rowling and March have also become popular, didn’t you know? "

Tao Ge was shocked, put aside his casualness, and asked tightly: "What's going on? Please tell me carefully."

The other person told her: "Go and watch last night's TV interview, and you will know.

Or you can buy this morning's newspaper. "

Tao Ge turned around and subconsciously called Xie Qi. After calling out, he realized that Xie Qi had something to do at home and had returned to China with him. He would not be able to come over until tomorrow.

Tao Ge hung up the phone and went downstairs.

Then I jogged to a newsstand and bought a copy of The Times.

She didn't even have to look for it, she saw Rowling's photo on the front page.

In the photo, Rowling is holding a copy of Harry Potter and smiling at the camera.

Tao Ge stared at the photo for three seconds, and then eagerly started reading the news.

The news report was very long and it took a full 8 minutes to read it.

The report is divided into three paragraphs.

The first paragraph is to introduce how Harry Potter went from obscurity to becoming popular now?

Harry Potter has sold 450,000 copies in the UK in just over three months since it was published in March.

It wouldn't be surprising if it was only popular in the UK.

But this month, Harry Potter is taking the continent by storm.

There was a buying frenzy in more than 20 European countries.

So far, in addition to 450,000 copies in the UK, sales in Europe have reached an incredible 3.1 million copies!

And this madness is just the beginning. Half a month ago, Harry Potter began to be sold in more than 20 countries including the Americas, Australia, and South Africa.

In half a month, it only took half a month to sell 1.7 million copies outside Europe.

Seeing this, Tao Ge was stunned!

I am really confused!

Others don’t know, so doesn’t she know?

According to the agreement, for every copy of Harry Potter sold, Zhang Xuan will receive 1.72 pounds, which is after-tax income.

For this sales data of 5.35 million copies, he can get a royalties of 9.2 million pounds.

The current exchange rate of pound to renminbi is 12, which is 110 million yuan when converted into renminbi.

110 million?

110 million! ! !

After Tao Ge reacted, he suddenly fell into a trance and almost lost his balance.

Not paying attention!

In just the blink of an eye, "Harry Potter", which he and Xie Qihun didn't care about, had generated an income of 110 million for Zhang Xuan!

Tao Ge, who had always been as calm as water, covered his heart with his right hand and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Thinking of 110 million, that good-looking face that often behaves erratically with me comes to mind involuntarily.

Tao Ge felt a little hot in the face. He had never been slapped in the face like this until he was 30 years old.

She paused, calmed down and continued reading.

The second paragraph of the report mainly talks about Rowling’s life experiences.

Here, Rowling talks about not being valued by her parents and not receiving much love since she was a child.

Rowling also talked about her schooling experience and marriage and love.

She then focused on describing an encounter she had with her teacher in the library in March.

Yes, when interviewed by the media, Luo Lin respected Zhang Xuan and affectionately called him teacher.

She also admitted that if she had not met March in the city hall library, she would not have been able to write Harry Potter, and she would not have been able to gain spiritual comfort.

Rowling said: It was March that affirmed and inspired myself. Let her learn to face society, strengthen her confidence, and give her expectations for life.

Seeing this, Tao Ge couldn't help but smile!

The third paragraph of the report:

Rowling described in detail how March taught her writing, how to teach her divergent thinking, and how to lead her into the vast magical world.

Rowling said bluntly: The story logic and structure of Harry Potter were all created by March, she just filled in the details.

Tao Ge felt excited when he saw it, and he somewhat recognized Luo Lin's aboveboardness.

At the end of the report, the interview host suddenly asked Rowling if she had fallen in love with her teacher March?

Luo Lin lowered her head shyly and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Yes."

"Such a naughty hooves." Tao Ge muttered with a smile and put the newspaper away with a smile.
