Chapter 508 The work of the publishing house
Wien, who was leaning against the window casually, took his eyes back from the people with different expressions in the selection room.
In fact, in many ways, Chris did not coincide with her own ideas.
No, it should be said that her life is purer and more indulgent than herself.
Like herself, she is also devoted to making herself live happier. In fact, she has indeed implemented her goals smoothly. But she still has various concerns and cannot appear in front of her as a truly honest person.
And what makes people feel most helpless is that those pains and worries are mostly caused by oneself.
With a secret sigh, Van turned his head and looked out the window.
Although he didn't want any accidents to happen in the future, he made some preparations. However, if the truth came out on the day when the truth was revealed, Chris found that the beautiful life she had always thought was just an illusion, wouldn't she be able to accept it at all?
A little girl thought that she would become a winner in life as long as she traveled through time, but in the end she had to become a forbidden body for scumbags in the harem. No matter how she thought about this plot, she was full of malice.
Wien rubbed the Jingming acupoint between his eyebrows in distress.
After full discussion among the crowd, the final ranking was decided, and I just waited to choose a suitable time to announce it.
“——Please arrange it before school starts.”
Chris made the final decision.
...
The so-called holidays often come very slowly and go very early.
Seeing those students who were either happy or reluctant because of the start of school, Lena fell into remembrance of the green years.
At that time, she never thought that she would become such a boring adult in the future.
"Miss Lina!" A warm greeting came from beside him.
"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
Lina turned her face and saw a young man in high spirits.
"Hello." She also hurriedly stood up and began socializing remarks with restraint. "No, no... I've just arrived not long ago."
This is a well-known restaurant in the capital.
If she were to be in normal times, she would never have stepped into such a high-end consumption place, but this time it was different.
"Your contributions are very good for the first time! Congratulations." The young man smiled, "I am the editor-in-chief of Wangdu Morning News, Barto."
"Actually, I was going to find some time to talk to you, but I didn't expect Miss Lina to invite me first. Today I happened to have time, so I deliberately took ten minutes to get late, but I didn't expect you to come earlier."
Lina could only smile with a little awkwardly.
Because she was too excited, she even went out for half an hour in advance and sat over the seat for too long. Even the waiter made several rounds in front of her intentionally or unintentionally, and came to continue the tea from time to time, and greeted her if she needed help.
God knows what kind of torment this time has passed.
Fortunately, Barto did not continue to worry about this topic. After taking the lead in introducing himself, he quickly got to the point.
"According to the share specified in the contract, I have already brought your first royalty." He took out a waxed letter from his briefcase and placed it on the table and pushed it over.
Lina wiped her hands nervously and picked it up.
The seal is intact, and there is also the seal of the leaf publisher in the middle of the fire lacquer - a leaf with a distinct outline.
"Please check the amount in person."
Perhaps seeing her unnaturalness, Barto blinked playfully. "I guaranteed with my personal reputation that I have never taken it apart privately! But if there is a mistake in the work on the finance side, I will help you complain to them."
After being interrupted by him, Lina suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Mr. Barto, it seems that you have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the finance department..." She also smiled and said, "My job is also a financial accountant?"
Barto's eyes widened in surprise and looked at her outfit.
"This...is really surprised me, finances are usually very busy..."
As soon as he said that, he immediately realized that he had lost his words and quickly remedyed: "Ah, I'm not saying that your work is free, but I'm just surprised by your ability."
After counting it and finding that the amount is correct, Lina was in a much happier mood.
The money is already comparable to her usual salary for several months.
"Actually, my usual job is not easy." She opened the conversation.
"But there is a power in the dark that tells me that I must write this story, so I unknowingly entered a state of forgetting to eat and sleep..."
Speaking of this, her expression became a little shy. "I know I still have many shortcomings. Thank you for your willingness to publish my work."
Barto shook his head: "It is your strength that proves yourself."
The food that was ordered in advance was delivered to the table one by one, and the two of them were having a meal and talking, which was very comfortable.
After Barto's inquiry, Lina quickly revealed the source of her inspiration and the settings of the subsequent plot.
But as Lina tells, Barto's expression becomes a little bit serious. "...Pig Man Case?"
He didn't expect that there was actually a prototype behind this fantasy love story.
"Didn't you tell the city guards about his existence?" Barto couldn't help asking.
Lina bit her lower lip, "I had already found the guards of the city guards and reported everything, but... they didn't believe me."
Upon hearing this, Barto couldn't help but nod, "It's true that when you hear such a thing, it's hard to believe it."
"Uh, of course I'm not saying you're lying..."
Barto felt that his words suddenly lost their standards today, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Lina wasn't angry about this.
"Most people won't believe it." She breathed a deep breath, "So, I must write his story."
After learning about these behind-the-scenes stories, Barto probably understands her thoughts.
After experiencing such an experience, it is not difficult to say that you will fantasize about falling in love with an innocent hero who saves the innocent hero in the dark.
"These words have nothing to do with me, but please don't tell others the subsequent content, especially other publishers in the same industry." Barto solemnly reminded.
It’s not that he is too suspicious, but that Shuye Publishing House has encountered similar things.
Lina suddenly panicked, "Ah, can't you tell me?"
"Hahaha, don't be too nervous."
Seeing that she was a completely newbie reaction, Barto smiled and comforted, "It's just in case."
After the meal, Barto left first on the pretext of having something important and settled the account.
