I'm just sorry for plagiarism

It's too much...

A family of students, usually without a job to speak of, where did they get this huge sum of money?

Rich families are not so rich.

The two accompanying girls couldn't help being surprised when they saw it.

Especially Hu Meilan, who originally wanted to compete with Lixia, but now she was full of surprise, staring at those beautiful big eyes, slightly opening her small mouth, speechless for a long time.

She suddenly felt that her actions just now were simply childish.

What do you want to show off?Parents bought a booth on West Street?Arrogant?Big family?

With this little capital, perhaps, the other party didn't pay attention at all.

How bad can a family that can easily take out 10 yuan in pocket money...

Hu Meilan was stunned, and suddenly realized a fact that made her extremely depressed.

That is, whether it is family background, grades or social status, everything, I am completely inferior to this beautiful girl in front of me.

She suddenly lost interest.

In the haze, I only felt that I was being held by a hand, and I went back to the small private room.

Now that the bills have been paid, there must be a lot of eating and drinking next.

The atmosphere, which had been gone for a long time, was rare and joyful. Zhang Zhizhi and the others hooked their shoulders together, trying to figure out what was going on, their cheeks were slightly red, obviously drunk.

Seeing the pried open Lafite casually thrown in the corner like a cheap beer can, Hu Meilan was stunned, then came back to her senses, glanced at Li Xia quietly, and whispered: "That ,beginning of summer."

Li Xia turned his head and looked playful, "What's wrong?"

"That's right, I can't make up the [-] yuan for the meal for the time being... so can you give it a two-day extension, and I'll pay you back after I discuss it with my parents..."

He stumbled in one sentence. After all, as a former imaginary enemy, wanting Hu Meilan to bow his head was still too much of a setback for her.

When Li Xia heard the words, he smiled slightly and shook his head, "No, I treat this meal as if I invited you."

After all, he waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to mention this matter.

She has it all.

Not talking about the treat in front of the dinner table gave Hu Meilan a lot of face.

Perhaps in the eyes of other girls, this expensive meal was a treat for Hu Meilan, right?

"Hey, it doesn't taste good. What is this thing? It smells like wood and is bitter." After tasting the black ink drink, Zhang Zhizhi stuck out his tongue with a look of disdain. "I really don't know why adults like to blow wine."

It is too difficult for a girl who is not used to drinking beer to suddenly ask her to taste this kind of drink.

"Don't waste it, okay? The mouthful you spit out is worth hundreds of dollars." Chen Mujie shook her head, pointing out bitterly.

A group of girls didn't understand what Chen Mujie said. After taking the receipt and looking at it, they all took a deep breath and started bluffing.

"So expensive? Have you already paid for it?"

"Meilan, so you are so rich!"

"That's right, I paid more than 3 yuan, which is amazing!"

Hearing the compliments from others, Hu Meilan, who always liked to pretend to be a rich family, became more and more noisy and harsh.

It was as if all the emotions that were whitewashed were silently mocking himself.

She couldn't help but glanced at her old enemy Lixia who was sitting on a chair not far away.

But I saw that the real eldest lady didn't move at all. At this moment, the old lady was holding the chopsticks, putting a piece of pot-packed meat in her mouth, and chewing quietly. On her delicate cheeks, there was that indifferent and easy-going smile.

Like an expert outside the world, he has never paid much attention to the so-called competition.

Hu Meilan pursed her lips, the complexity in her heart was beyond words.

----

In fact, even though Li Xia's dress looks like a paradise, her heart is already in a panic.

Where did all this money come from?

To be honest, she herself transformed into a monk who was Zhang Er, so she couldn't figure it out.

Shuimunianhua himself did sign a contract, but shouldn't he?

I vaguely remember that the contract was linked to the number of words, about thirty thousand words, and the highest limit was only five thousand, where did such a generous remuneration come from?

Did it go to the wrong person?In other words, the finances over there were irregular, and the fraudulent accounting was done to her lixia's head.

With this confusion in his head, Li Xia planned to find a corner where no one was around as soon as he finished eating, and confronted the editor.

"Hey, Lixia, aren't you going to sing upstairs later?" The group of people who came out of the dining room still had something to say and planned to go to the ktv to continue the booth.

Although Hu Meilan didn't bring that much money with her, the private rooms were still very well-regulated, and the asking price couldn't be sky-high, even with her financial resources, she could easily handle it.

"Don't go." Li Xia waved his hand, went down the stairs, and ran straight to the corner where no one was around.

However, what she didn't know was that she left in a hurry. Seeing that the backbone of the party was gone, the rest of the girls didn't have much fun. canceled.

Each goes back to his own house, each find his own mother.

When she came to the outside of the road, the eldest lady first called Lu Xu, but the other party seemed to be busy, and she didn't answer the three calls in a row. In desperation, she had to turn her attention to the call record.

On the screen, Qi Guodong's number was clearly in sight.

For this snobbish little man, Li Xia looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he didn't even save his number, and if he wanted to find him, he could only look through the previous records based on his memory.

At the thought of communicating with that mouse face, Li Xia inevitably resisted in his heart, but after hesitating for a moment, he lightly pressed the dial button.

It's already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and the editorial department got off work early. Although the other party has a private number, once the working hours were over, even if Qi Guodong himself was standing in front of the phone, he would hang up without saying a word. There is not even half a reason, it has to be said that that arrogant attitude has always annoyed Li Xia.

Perhaps at that time, Qi Guodong just regarded Lixia as someone who had no strength and could not be praised. He only knew how to eat rice bugs guaranteed by the company, so his attitude would not be so good.After all, when Lixia entered the station, she also specifically told Lu Xu not to tell her about being Chow Yun-fat.

It's just that with the public opinion of Shuimunianhua, after "Zhaomu" became popular, everything is different.

It didn't take more than ten seconds for the bell to ring, and there was a snap on the other side, with a sincere tone, like a younger brother who is always looking forward to the horse.

The attitude of swearing and ingratiating is simply not the same as that of the high-ranking editor Qi half a year ago.

"Teacher Lixia, you still called at such a late hour, what's the matter?"

Li Xia squinted her eyes, although she said that she would not hit the smiling face with her hand, but hearing that greasy tone, she still couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you about my manuscript fee."

concise.

As a result, before she could finish her sentence, she hurriedly replied: "The manuscript fee should have been sent to you, right? The amount is relatively large, and you need to sign for it yourself. If you don't have an ID card, a student ID card is also acceptable."

"My question is this, why is there so much money sent over?"

Li Xia frowned, unable to stop his curiosity.

Unexpectedly, when this question was mentioned, Qi Guodong grinned lightly, "Here, did you read the contract?"

contract?

Li Xia raised his eyebrows.

I have been a novel author for many years. During this period, I signed not only a dozen or twenty contracts, but seven or eight contracts. It is precisely because the content is so different that I have long been tired of reading it, but she did not. How do you care about this aspect.

"Is there any omission in the contract?"

There was no talking over there, and I didn’t know what keyboard was crackling. After a while, Qi Guodong picked up the microphone with his arm again, and said respectfully, “I have sent the relevant regulations to your Email address, I suggest you check it out, but don’t worry, it’s all terms that are beneficial to you.”

After all, he didn't dare to hang up the phone like before, but waited for Li Xia to express his position.

The eldest lady couldn't help but sighed, and then used her mobile phone to log in to Penguin Mailbox.

After a while, I found the warm file that Qi Guodong sent just now in the mailbox.

It's a very small file, only a few kilobytes. When I opened it, I found that the screenshots inside were just a series of general legal provisions.

The general meaning of the translation is that, contracted works, whoever can make a huge contribution to the platform during the update period, will be given a generous after-tax subsidy of 5.00% of monthly sales profit.

Among them, the contracted work refers to "Dawn and Twilight".

The sales of books and periodicals is the Shuimunianhua physical magazine that publishes "Day and Night".

Although the scale of Shuimunianhua was considered the top brand in Ye City before, it is a tourist city after all, and culture is not the main output. The poverty level has only improved in recent years, and there are not many competitors. Naturally, this so-called top brand It is hydrated.

It's just that now, if the extra remuneration of nearly 200 is reversed, it is enough to get the net sales of Shuimunianhua last month between 220 million and [-] million after excluding a series of costs such as labor costs?

This profit...

It seems that for such a medium-sized publishing company, it is already considered a good place, right?

Looking at the contract, Li Xia blinked and suddenly realized something.

Chapter 256 Chapter 253

This clause in the contract is not a special discount set by the editorial department for Lixia, but one of the benefits that every author who signs a contract with Shuimunianhua has to sign.

After all, Shuimunianhua is different from those three domestic giants in that its scale is quite small, so it is natural to have more gimmicks if it wants to attract authors with a slightly larger tonnage to settle in.

It's just that in the years since the contract was signed, very few people have actually received this welfare payment.

why?

Naturally, due to the physical media, it is really difficult to distinguish what exactly is a work that is considered to be very popular and selling well.

Completely different from those online articles, physical magazines do not have a substantive system to record the data of your book. You say your book is popular, why is it popular, what evidence is there, and how should you describe it?The twists and turns in this are really hard to define.

Even the popularity on the Shuimunianhua forum is nothing more than some general definitions such as likes or comment areas. It is vague and can only be seen as a general idea.

After coming and going, the so-called dividends have become a sign-like existence, which is pleasing to the eye, but hard to reach.

The site has been open for more than ten years, but almost no one can get this money.

But "Day and Night" is different.

If we say that the enthusiasm that was aroused on the forums and webpages before, and even the wave of waves that almost wiped out their Shuimu forums, is not considered to have aroused repercussions, then what kind of rhythm is obvious, and what kind of tone is the most obvious. Can it be regarded as having a deep influence?

Of course, if it only brings about negative effects, it is impossible for the top leaders to foolishly give the author of "Dawn and Twilight" a 5.00% welfare discount.

It's just that with the broadcast of the apology video, the controversy gradually shifted to another tone. Gradually, the traffic of the webpage is increasing day by day, and the sales volume of the physical magazine has jumped from the mediocre tens of thousands of copies in January to 10,000+. It even vaguely exceeded 20 sales.

Although the monthly sales volume is 20, which is a level that Youth Digest broke through a few years ago, it is not a small milestone for Shuimunianhua.

enough to commemorate.

If that's not making a huge contribution, what exactly is a contribution?

And say something off topic.

In fact, the leader of this welfare payment had planned to give a second share to the author of the "Disciplinary Committee". After all, as one of the old club's signs, Shuimu Forum spent a lot of money to hire it. It is really unreasonable to give some welfare bundles.

It's just that in the past two months, with the rhythm of suppression by many navy bands, the reputation there has been stink early. I don't know about the physical magazines, but the comments on "Disciplinary Committee" on this forum have been overwhelming. Heinous.

Not only did the traffic drop sharply, but the comment area was also smeared in various ways. The income was simply unsightly. The leadership seemed to be afraid of losing money again.

The author was also aggrieved, writing the book inexplicably, the only black spot was just job hopping, and as a result, he was bombarded in various ways for no reason.

It is precisely because the author who bought it at a high price can no longer be praised, the leadership is even more eager to please Li Xia, the author of her "Day and Night", and try to tie it into their Shuimianhua.

Not to mention the sharp increase in sales last month, the sales trend of Shuimunianhua is now showing a sharp ups and downs. I heard that this month has just passed halfway, and its sales have already reached nearly 20W. If this momentum continues , Will the total sales of this month exceed 40W, or even more?

It is really imaginative.

Physical media is different from the Internet, and the span will not be so large. Generally, an improvement of 20.00% to [-]% is enough for a publishing house to spend a year to realize it, not to mention the trend of doubling every other month.

terror.

It's terrifying.

Wouldn't it be unreasonable for such an author not to win over?

So with this kind of mind in mind, this generous welfare manuscript fee must naturally be given.

And not only last month, this month's manuscript fee is also counted, as a huge contributor, Li Xia can still get an extra 5.00% remuneration.

According to Qi Guodong, if the momentum of this month's income remains unchanged, it will be twice that of the previous month, and it may even exceed three times.

In other words, after another 30 days, Li Xia's manuscript fee will exceed 20, or even [-].

Well, although this amount of money is indeed insignificant compared to the string of numbers in Lixia's bank card.

But at least it represents a trend, doesn't it?
