In the end, it was Huangfu who coldly used the authority of the quasi-patriarch to obtain the approval of the publishing house.The person who signed the contract with Han Shuo at that time had another video meeting with Han Shuo on the optical brain.

Han Shuo activated the optical brain at the appointed time, turned on the communication and the screen, and he saw the young man who lied to him.At the same time, Huangfu beside him stared coldly at the screen, scolding him like a storm. "It's just a side branch of the family, who gave you the courage to frame the main family! How dare you deceive Han Shuo!"

Huangfu was used to the prestige of his master Leng Zao, and speaking was a very serious threat, but the young man's attitude was still sloppy, and he talked casually with a smile.

"Oh~ don't be so serious, I'm different from my dad, I don't really care about priority." He first used this sentence as an opening statement to express his attitude, and then said the follow-up in a clatter.

"I said you guys~ Do you understand the so-called commercial contract? I never lied to anyone when I signed the contract. I said that you have to cooperate unconditionally in everything you do during the promotion. This is a fair, just and open book publishing condition. As for what I want to do? Yes, you can ask me, and it's not like I can't answer, but you signed it without asking any more questions. Tell me yourself, so where did I lie to you?

Let me just say something from the bottom of my heart, I am even more unhappy here that you are still messing around. We have done all the publishing, publicity and printing. What do you think you are regretting at this time?Either you publish books at your own expense, or you abide by the contract with the publishing house. The contract is made to be followed. If you don’t want to keep you, don’t waste our publishing house’s time! "

The young man was too righteous, but his statement was also reasonable, and he never really took any action to deceive him from the beginning to the end.

Han Shuo himself understood that at the time he was indeed unable to find a partner, so he rashly agreed to the other party's contract, but he was not reconciled.The young man didn't lie to him, but he didn't make it clear to him. He must have known that he would not be willing to reveal his true identity, so he demanded "unconditional cooperation and no interference during the propaganda period." Gag him after the incident!

Han Shuo forced himself to calm down, trying to resolve the matter in a civilized manner with reason.

"I know that we have already signed a contract, but you maliciously concealed the disputed part of the contract. In fact, you are using a bait-and-switch technique to trap me into injustice. I am talking to you now, hoping to solve the problem in a rational way , to find a solution that everyone can accept. I think we may have misunderstood, in the past my book caused you to lose a lot of money, but that is not a part of my control, you can't just because of an accident, now It is immoral to use this kind of book selling method that maliciously destroys my privacy."

When the young man heard this, he suddenly laughed a few times, and Huangfu glared at him coldly.

"Sorry, sorry, because I heard you say immoral, but I couldn't help laughing when I saw you, oh, don't care~ As for the solution you said, I think there may be a misunderstanding between us, and I don't care about selling books and losing money. In fact, I have no opinion. In this business, who never loses money? Even if my father suffered from physical problems due to this tragic loss, and almost fell ill, it is also a matter of his wrong decision-making.

Huangfu Leng, you are willing to buy back the book, of course we are also grateful. After all, although you asked my dad to help publish the book, the printing volume and publicity methods are still my dad's own decision. We naturally thank you for your willingness to absorb the cost.So Han Shuo, do you understand that there is no misunderstanding between us, and I am not using the current propaganda methods to be unhappy?I'm not that boring. "

The young man said this to him with a smile, but Han Shuo was even more uneasy. He was completely confused by the other party's behavior. "What exactly are you trying to say? Do you want to deny your malicious concealment?" He said this, but the young man smiled brighter again.

"I just want to say that I am a businessman, so I will sell books like this because of market considerations. I know from my dad's experience that no matter what the reason is, publishing a book for you has a huge impact. Market risk. Think about it, how much publicity funds your man invested for you back then, and even this way you can lose it badly. This tells me how hard your book is to sell...I don’t mean that the quality is not good, or that it is not easy to sell Do you understand? But you came to us again, we are also under pressure, if we want to help you publish the book again, I can only use other means to make the book sell well~"

What the young man said made Han Shuo speechless. He made it clear that he was doing this to make money, but he didn't know where to start when he wanted to refute.Leng seemed very annoyed, but at this time, he couldn't let his man push him too much.Han Shuo was also in the literary circle in his previous life, and he was well aware of the situation in the circle. If he really let Huangfu Leng put pressure on him this time, he would not be able to publish books normally in this life.

On the surface, the publishing house is still in the circle of literati, but inside it is still business-oriented. They can tolerate poor literary and moral character, but they have a very low tolerance for commercial problems.If instead of convincing people with reasoning, he lets the cold pressure force the other party to change their strategy, then it is hard to guarantee that the other party will not reveal such news out of anger.

If the reputation that he would break the contract spread, it would be much more serious than a bad sale.After all, in the matter of publishing a book, the contract can be said to be a mutual guarantee for both parties. For those who cannot establish a guarantee, the publishing house will not consider cooperation at all. He does not want to be blacklisted in the publishing industry.

Because of Han Shuo's fearful tactics, he still didn't dare to do too much. Even if he didn't get the desired result, he didn't dare to continue.

On the other hand, Huangfu Leng was very dissatisfied with the situation, but facing the young man on the opposite side of the video, he had no means to use.Threatening him, he said that he did not breach the contract, and he didn't care about the so-called main branch, and lured him, but now he became arrogant, saying that he earns well, and does not accept other income other than what he earns legitimately.

The young man's firm attitude directly caused Han Shuo and Huangfu Leng to feel angry for nothing after the video conference ended.

After this failed negotiation, the bookseller continued to promote his "beauty writer". Han Shuo knew from the money he received that the other party's strategy was successful, and his enthusiasm for buying books could be said to be quite strong.But in contrast, Han Shuo's situation at home has also worsened.

Leng's parents have always relied on their own status and valued the so-called family face in words and deeds, so they couldn't bear Han Shuo's status as a "beauty writer".

Writers are not the problem, the problem is "beauty writers", this kind of writers who sell their books on face, in their view, it is a way to sell their bodies in exchange for money.Han Shuo was irrefutable, because the facts were the same.

The reason why Han Shuo is unwilling to be regarded as a "beauty writer" is because "beauty writers" are not writers in the general sense. "Beauty writers" especially emphasize "beauties" rather than "writers".A writer who is not beautiful will be called a "beauty writer". In the literary circle, this title is actually a derogatory term, and this title only refers to a "writer" who has good looks but no talent.

Parents had already had a lot of prejudice against him before, and now that this kind of reputation spread, they thought he was not worthy of their Huangfu family.

Once, Han Shuo heard at home that they even planned to take Brother Leng's child home and directly raise him to be the next generation's Patriarch.They disdain their "disgraceful publicity" and feel that their existence "disgraces the family tradition", so even if they love Huangfu Leng again, they are unwilling to admit their children, but turn their minds to Brother Leng's child body.

This was undoubtedly a big blow to Han Shuo.

He was not from a wealthy family, so although he married into the Huangfu family, since Huangfu Leng has not officially inherited the family position, he cannot be said to have truly belonged to the Huangfu family before he was recognized by Leng's parents.Originally, if he could wait for Leng to succeed to the throne, he should have officially joined the Huangfu family.

But now if the parents decide to transfer the succession rights to Brother Leng's children, the situation will be different.At that time, even if Leng succeeds to the position of Patriarch in the end, he will have to face the fact that the next successor has been appointed.

Of course, Han Shuo believed that he would not let this situation continue, but Leng must not be too tough at that time.The side branches are still eyeing the main position covetously, transferring the inheritance rights indiscriminately, but it is just an excuse for them to make trouble.And no matter what the outcome of the situation is, he will not really be recognized by the family, and the wife of the head of the family who can't even establish the right of inheritance for his own children, will anyone take him seriously?

Han Shuo bit his lower lip tightly. He knew that he had to find a way to break the current situation, otherwise it would be too late when his parents really brought Brother Leng's child back.

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, the military sent people to the Huangfu's house, and their recruitment action gave Han Shuo a possible turning point.Accepting the recruitment is the last resort for Han Shuo to restore his status.

The status of the military in the country can be said to be quite high. If he can join the military and obtain a certain class, at least he can have a higher social status.Only with sufficient social status can he hope to be recognized by Huangfu's family.Not to mention anything else, as long as he has the approval of his parents and is willing to recognize his child as the next successor, the mother is more expensive than the child, and he can keep his position in the Huangfu family.

He immediately agreed to join the army, but he didn't expect that after Huangfu Leng came back, he would be very displeased with his actions. "Why do you want to join the army? Why can't you trust me, I, Huangfu Leng, do I still need my wife to join the army?"

"Leng, it's not like that, I just want to get my parents' approval..." Before Han Shuo finished speaking, Huangfu pushed him onto the bed again. "You don't need anyone's approval! You are mine, I will always protect you and take care of you, you don't need to do this kind of thing at all!" "But..." "Nothing else! You shouldn't just leave like this!"

The more Han Shuo wanted to talk, the more excited Huangfu Leng became. As a result, the two had a heated night, but they still couldn't reach a consensus.After that, he tried all kinds of methods, but he didn't get Leng's approval.Seeing that his parents had already taken action, he thought that procrastinating like this was not an option, so he made up his mind.

One morning, while he was out working in the cold, he entered the last message in the optical brain, sent a message to him, and at the same time went to participate in the recruitment.After he boarded the military aircraft, he turned on his optical brain again, allowing Leng Neng to contact him again.

The result of his desperate move can be said to be not a failure, but it is not very successful either.

Leng finally knew his worries from his message. He said that he had talked with his parents and told them to give up this idea. Han Shuo felt that this was his success in retreating.But at the same time, Cooling expressed his dissatisfaction. Han Shuo couldn't clearly know how dissatisfied he was, which made him feel uneasy, so it seemed like a failure in this regard.

With such additions and subtractions, Han Shuo couldn't be happier, because he was under a lot of pressure.His joining the army has been involved in too many things, and he did not hesitate to annoy Leng for joining the army, so he will have to live in fear every day in the future, he cannot fail, if he fails, he will really lose his wife and lose his army, everything will be in vain.
