Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

Chapter 80



"Okay."

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

"You say." Jin Youwei said seriously.

"Don't tell anyone my identity."

Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "No 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 others tell it?" Jin Youwei said dissatisfiedly.

"No matter, I blame you." Zhao Xiyan said calmly.

"You..."

Jin Youwei was furious and looked at Lou Bancheng sideways.

"Old Jin, we have been friends for many years, and you still don't trust me?" Lou Bancheng joked.

"Can I trust you if you can show me other people's manuscripts?" Jin Youwei sighed.

"Old Jin, you don't know what's good for you, right?" 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."

"Okay."

Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile.

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

Jin Youwei asked a key 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 rare?" Zhao Xiyan pouted.

"200 for 10,000 words, 2,000 for 100,000 words, 20,000 for 1 million words... You can get 24,000 for the royalties of this book alone?" Lou Xiaoe said with admiration.

"It's hard to say."

Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "What if Editor 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 yuan is a lot. Who among the famous writers is not a millionaire?"

Zhao Xiyan listened to him and shook his head secretly.

The writer's profession is really dry and dry.

Let alone writing books, even if the articles are well written, there are many people who earn tens of thousands of yuan a year these days. It's just that if you are not in this industry, you generally don't know it.

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

"You can't take the manuscript 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"? It's not appropriate for you to give it this name..."

"Really? That's a pity."

Zhao Xiyan sighed, "In that case, let's call it 'Jianghu Baixiaosheng'."

"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... Then I'll go back to prepare the contract and money. You should rush to finish more manuscripts today, and I'll send it out this time."

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

"This issue will start with 10,000 words."

Jin Youwei chuckled, "If sales are good, I will change the monthly issue to a biweekly issue, and publish 5,000 words each time."

"That's fine."

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, I'll go back and prepare first."

Jin Youwei shook hands with him and walked out quickly.

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

"It's okay, I have to thank you." Zhao Xiyan chuckled, "Now I've made a lot of money, I can't wait to be happy."

"Hey."

After a dry laugh, Lou Bancheng said seriously, "Xiao Zhao, I heard from Xiao'e that you want to borrow my car?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xiyan nodded and said, "I'm going to Changping... Don't worry, I will bear the fuel cost of the car damage myself, how about I give you 500 yuan?"

"Wow."

Mrs. Lou was shocked.

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

"No need for money."

Lou Bancheng said helplessly, "But can you take Xiao'e with you..."

"What the hell?"

Zhao Xiyan widened his eyes, "Boss Lou, do you know why I'm going to Changping?"

"I know."

Lou Bancheng smiled bitterly, "Xiao'e told me... But she has never left the city, and this time she wants to go to the countryside, I think it's okay."

IfIf 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 hadn't been there.

Let alone a night, he wouldn't have nodded even if Lou Xiao'e knelt on the ground.

"I say... Mr. Lou, she's a grown-up girl, is it appropriate for her to follow me to Changping?" Zhao Xiyan sighed.

"Isn't this just like going out with friends for two days? What's wrong with agreeing to it..."

Mrs. 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."

Zhao Xiyan was silent immediately.

They had already talked to this point, what else could he say?

"Xiyan, take me with you."

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

Xiyan?

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

How long have these two known each other? They are so intimate?

"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 tell her..."

After leaving a sentence, Lou Xiao'e ran out the door.

"Come back..."

Zhao Xiyan, Lou Bancheng and his wife all shouted.

They even rushed out, but where was Lou Xiao'e?

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

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

"Are you asking 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 do you mean I spoil you?"

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

"Wow."

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

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

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

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

...

Zhao Xiyan sat obediently on the stool, watching the two people's verbal battle, and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of getting into trouble.
