Chapter 190: Get rich accidentally (please subscribe)
After the last class in the afternoon, Lin Lu put on his backpack and left the school on a small electric donkey.
It takes about 20 minutes to ride an electric scooter from Soochow University to Huajiang Building, where Li Xingruo works. It was exactly 5:40 when we arrived here, and she got off work on time and came out of the company on time.
"You arrived so soon! Did you miss class?"
"Alright, go at normal speed. Sister Xingruo, get in the car quickly!"
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
"The weather is starting to get cold. How about we have hot pot together tonight?"
"Oh! It seems like I haven't had hot pot for a long time!"
Li Xingruo sat astride the car and hugged his waist as usual. Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, the sister and brother rode their electric scooters leisurely on the road home.
Come to think of it, I haven't cooked together at home for a long time. From the Mid-Autumn Festival last month to now, I either ate at Aunt Zou's place or brought food to eat with him in the cafeteria during military training. But it's fine now.
Life is gradually getting back on track, and Lin Lu can go home to eat and sleep every day.
Compared with the hot summer days, now sitting in the back seat and hugging him intimately, there is no longer the sultry feeling surrounded by the heat. The sky gradually becomes higher and higher, and the street trees on the street are also secretly dotted with a few trees.
It's golden, autumn has arrived.
Seasonal changes are always difficult to notice, and by the time you notice them, you are often already in a certain season.
This is a bit like the relationship between the two. Until now, Li Xingruo can't tell exactly when she started to like him so much. Maybe it was during a break during tutoring when he went to help her with a water glass.
Pour water, sit down next to her, and look at the water glasses of the two of them side by side, which is very beautiful; or maybe I had a long, long dream about him, and woke up and saw him next to me; or maybe I had a long, long dream about him, and woke up and saw him next to me; or
On a backlit afternoon, he was wearing a white shirt, and at a certain moment he made her smile happily...
I like this thing. It sounds complicated, but it is actually so simple that it makes no sense.
The same goes for being happy. The older I get, the more I realize that it is not easy to be happy. But when I am with him, my happy mood is like candies scattered in a fruit plate, which I can easily get.
"hey-hey……"
Li Xingruo laughed secretly and tapped his blue helmet with her pink helmet.
"What's wrong? Sister Xingruo seems to be in a good mood today?"
"Eh? Did you notice it?"
"Of course. Sister Xingruo raised her eyebrows and I knew you wanted to..."
"Change an adjective!!"
"Okay, so why is Sister Xingruo so happy today?"
"Guess~"
"Because you want to sleep naked in bed with me tonight!"
"……roll!"
"That's because you want to take a shower with me tonight!"
"Bah! What the hell are you guessing!"
Li Xingruo pinched him a few times in embarrassment. This bad guy was always scheming. She had never thought that he could transfer his shameless wishes to her in this way. If she said congratulations, you guessed it right.
, then he would be extremely happy!
"It's so hard to guess. Sister Xingruo looks happy every day when we are together. If I were asked to guess why sister Xingruo is unhappy, I will definitely guess it right away."
"Huh? Are you still unhappy with your guess?"
"This is not simple. If Sister Xingruo is unhappy, she must be not with me and missing me."
"Bah, bah, bah!"
"Did Sister Xingruo find the money?"
"Haha! Half and half!"
Li Xingruo became happy, hugged his waist, and whispered in his ear: "Tell you, tell you, my book is going to be published!"
"Publishing?! Is it confirmed?!"
"Hehe, that's right! After you finish shopping for groceries, come with me to print out the contract!"
Starting last month, the copyright department at Haitang began to manage the publishing of her book. I originally thought that it would be postponed until the completion, but I didn’t expect that the matter would be confirmed on the first day back from vacation.
Come down.
In the afternoon, the editor in charge of copyright contacted her, communicated with her about the publishing situation, and sent her an electronic contract for her review.
It is a large publishing house in China. It directly signed the physical copyright of her book in simplified and traditional Chinese, and the royalties were also given to 12 points. Excluding the website's share, she could get about 10 points of royalties.
"Is ten points considered too much or too little?"
"That's a lot! He's not a well-known master, but a newcomer can get ten points of royalties from publishing, which is amazing!"
"Sister Xingruo is astonished! She throws herself to the ground invincible!!"
"Hahaha~"
Sure enough, having someone to share your happiness will double your happiness. After learning that her book was going to be published in the afternoon, Li Xingruo almost suffocated in the company. After all, no one among her colleagues knew that she had gone to Haitang to write a book, so naturally the matter of publishing could not be solved either. I wanted to let my colleagues know, but I really wanted to tell someone! The old sister pretended to be calm at work for a long time, and finally waited until she saw Lin Lu after get off work before telling him. The feeling of blooming in this mood was so elated. Already.
"How much money can Sister Xingruo get?"
"It's linked to the first seal~"
“What does the first seal mean?”
"That's the first printing quantity, idiot~"
"I don't understand. Sister Xingruo, please figure it out for me!"
Li Xingruo is too happy to forget about this. Because the book is still being serialized, it is currently decided to print three volumes. The three volumes are about 500,000 words in length. She will print the last volume after her book is completed with 600,000 words.
Because the electronic subscription results are very good, and the current average is 9,000, the first printing quantity given by the publisher has also been determined, 50,000 simplified Chinese volumes, 20,000 traditional Chinese volumes, divided into three parts, that is, 210,000 copies will be printed.
Physical books are priced at 36 yuan each. Based on her ten-point royalty, she can get 756,000 yuan at a time. Even after tax is deducted, she will get more than 600,000 yuan.
The royalties for the first printing are paid out in one go. If the sales of subsequent physical books are good, additional printings will be made. The royalties for additional printings can be negotiated to be increased. As long as the market responds enthusiastically, the sales volume of physical best-sellers will be considerable in the future.
It is not a problem to print an additional 100,000 copies, 200,000 copies, or even a million copies.
This is probably the belief that every creator relies on to survive. Physical books are printed and film and television copyrights are sold. Just one book can last a lifetime, which makes people's eyes bristle with envy.
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!! That's just the money for the first printing!! Sister Xingruo!! My superman!!"
"Hahaha……"
"If hundreds of thousands more copies are printed and the film and television rights are sold, Sister Xingruo will really become a rich little woman!!"
"It's low-key and low-key. It can't be that simple. If it's printed and doesn't sell well, there won't be more prints in the future."
"Sister Xingruo, you have to believe in the vision of the publishing house! If you weren't optimistic about it, how could you dare to print so many first prints!"
"Hahaha, stop talking, my tail will be raised to the sky in a moment!"
"Sister Xingruo!"
"Well?"
"You have really become a great writer! You have fulfilled your dream! It's really amazing!"
"There are no great writers..."
"Yes, in my heart, Sister Xingruo is the most powerful writer! Sister, the great writer~my girlfriend, the great writer~~"
Lin Lu frequently triggered her shy keywords, and her sister couldn't help but praise her. She was speechless, laughing and burying her face in his back.
She felt more and more that Lin Lu was really here to repay his kindness. Ever since she met him, her life had gone smoothly and sweetly, and her work performance had also been booming. Not only had the book she wrote signed a contract, but it had also been published. She barely had the nerve to tell others that she was a writer.
She is full of energy every day and full of confidence in the future. The positive attitude brought by his presence makes everything smooth for her. Perhaps this is what is called meeting a good person!
"I'm very happy today, so I want to reward you tonight!"
"Does the great writer Xiao He want to take a shower with me?"
"Get out of here~!"
It's rare to make a fortune, so the standard of food tonight has to be naturally improved. Even if it's hot pot, it's still a high standard hot pot.
I bought oysters, sea cucumbers, abalone, scallops, prawns and other nutritious and delicious seafood. I will have seafood hot pot tonight. The siblings and the little fat cat at home like it.
After buying the groceries, Lin Lu went to the printing shop with her to print out the contract.
In the past, he had a headache when he saw these dense words. Now he was holding her contract and reading it carefully, not missing every word.
After all, she is a new author and has no decision-making power on copyright. The contract is negotiated between the website and the publisher. She only needs to review and sign it, and the royalties will be credited to her account along with the royalties next month.
"Damn capitalists! Come on, Sister Xingruo, one day you will become the pillar of Haitang, like Zhen Xiaoyue, and you will have the power to negotiate with the website!"
"Does my sister have enough money to take care of you now?"
"I want to buy a Mercedes-Benz!"
"... I'll buy you! I have no money! Eat your buns!"
Although I made six or seven hundred thousand at once, which seems like a lot, in the long-term future, it is still not enough. I need to earn more. After all, I will have to buy a house, get married, and have children in the future.
Very expensive.
"If you eat steamed buns, just eat steamed buns. I won't get tired of them anyway~"
Sister Xingruo always means what she says. Recalling when we first met, she said she would treat him to the most delicious steamed buns in the world. Now he has eaten it too. He really never gets tired of it and will eat it again tonight.
.
"Don't rush to buy a car. When my sister gets rich, she will drive you the best car in the world!"
Listening to her words, Lin Lu began to yearn for her again.
When they got home, the two of them were busy in the kitchen together. The little fat cat didn't know what day it was, but he knew that there would be something delicious today.
Not to mention Xiaoman, such a sumptuous seafood hotpot will leave endless aftertaste for everyone, such as oysters, sea cucumbers, etc., which not only taste fresh and sweet, but also nourish the body, and are good for both men and women.
The two of them had the petty bourgeoisie hot pot meal until eight o'clock in the evening. Even the little fat cat was full and felt very satisfied physically and mentally.
After the meal, Lin Lu was responsible for cleaning up the kitchen. Li Xingruo also took out the contract and checked it again, then signed his name, packed it in a document bag, placed an order on the mini program, and soon a Fengshun courier came to pick up the package.
.
She couldn't wait until tomorrow to send it out. If she didn't send it out for a minute, she wouldn't be able to settle down for a minute. If Haitang Company was also in southern Jiangsu, she could send the contract there in person.
Ordinary delivery costs 18 yuan, and express delivery costs 23 yuan. Although there is not much difference in speed, Li Xingruo chose the most expensive one without hesitation.
As soon as the courier picked up the package, she couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone to refresh the shipment information. Haitang's headquarters was in Yanjing, and it would be delivered at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest.
After doing this, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and lay down lazily on the sofa.
I'm so excited today that I can't calm down while typing. Although I'm in a hurry to save my manuscript, I can still work on it for two more days, so I'll give myself another day off.
"Has the contract been sent?"
"Hmm~"
Fu Nuan was thinking about what he was doing. When he saw Lin Lu coming out of the kitchen after cleaning up, Li Xingruo climbed up on the sofa and clung to him like a koala.
Since returning from the trip, it has become more and more obvious that this neighbor sister with a cold face comes over to act coquettishly towards him.
Lin Lu was so angry and funny. Thinking about the time he tried to hold her little hand, he refused.
"Sister Xingruo, won't you be writing tonight?"
"If you don't code, you won't be calm. I'll write tomorrow. How is your up account doing?"
"The avatar has been drawn, and I'm about to edit the video."
Lin Lu put the computer on the dining table. He opened the dining table chair and sat down. Li Xingruo, who was holding behind him, let go. He thought she would sit down on the chair next to him, but she pulled away his hand and held Jiao Jiao.
Her pretty and soft body curled up into a ball, turned over and sat on his lap, as if placed in its proper position, her movements were so natural and smooth.
Sister Xingruo, who was rubbing against his legs like a coquettish kitten, had no part of her body that was not warm and soft. Lin Lu opened the laptop and put it in front of him, and put his hands around her waist, letting the two of them
Their bodies were closer together. Li Xingruo put her delicate arms around his neck, her pretty face pressed against his heart, and then she raised her chin slightly to rub the Adam's apple on his neck.
"Tichi, sister Xingruo, stop making trouble, I have to work."
"Then just work, I won't talk to you."
Although he didn’t talk to me, who was it that kept teasing me?
God knows how much perseverance Lin Lu had to edit the first video uploaded to his account.
The moment her hands left the mouse and keyboard, they were about to slip in from the hem of her clothes. But Sister Xingruo, who had been naughty for a long time, moved quickly. Seeing that Lin Lu couldn't hold it in any longer, she slapped him away with a smirk.
His hand slipped out of his arms like a small loach.
"Bye! I'm going to take a shower! You should go take a shower too, it stinks like hell!"
"Together!"
"Get out of here!"
She took a change of clothes and hid in the bathroom of his room. When Lin Lu went to open the door, she was so evil that she actually locked the door.
"Sister Xingruo, please open the door!"
"Go away!"
"Then I won't sleep with you tonight."
"Who cares! Bye!"
Lin Lu was so angry that he took a shower in the bathroom outside, and then went to sleep in her room.
When Li Xingruo returned to the room after taking a shower, Lin Lu was pretending to sleep on her bed, and she pretended not to see him.
Just turn on the hair dryer, and when the sound of the hair dryer sounds, her hair dryer will come over to dry her hair.
"Who said you won't sleep with me tonight?" Li Xingruo tilted his head and thought.
"I'm sleeping in sister Xingruo's room. Sister Xingruo can sleep in my room. Sister Xingruo even came over, so it's sister Xingruo who wants to be with me." Lin Lu was blow-drying her hair while admiring her shorts.
The round and slender legs extend out.
"I see! Then I'll go over there and sleep!"
"Don't, don't..."
Lin Lu quickly wrapped his legs around her to prevent her from escaping, and Li Xingruo viciously pulled out the hair on his legs.
The sound of the hair dryer stopped. Lin Lu stretched out his hand behind her and started to play the game of catching polar bears. Li Xingruo coyly showed his resistance, then there was no movement. He closed his eyes and his eyelashes trembled.
of.
"Sister Xingruo."
"Well……?"
"You are so happy today, do you want to do something else?"
"What?"
"It won't hurt your health anyway..."
The two of them lay down together. Lin Lu reached out to turn off the light in the room, and the bedroom fell into darkness.
A rustling sound came from the darkness, and the two figures under the fluorescent light of the night light hugged each other tighter and tighter.
"Okay, it's time to go to bed..."
"I slept well, but Sister Xingruo can't seem to sleep."
"Huh, no."
"Sister Xingruo is dishonest."
"ah……!"
At a certain moment, Lin Lu slipped under the quilt, and her little hand pushing his head covered her mouth at some point, but even so, the shame and sweetness in her soft voice could not be hidden.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Lu finally came out of the quilt.
Li Xingruo, who was already satisfied, finally fell asleep. With hazy and charming eyes, he curled up into a small ball and hid shyly in his arms, looking like a little bird clinging to someone.
"It's better to sleep now."
"Um……"
The pretty sister bit him and forbade him to mention it again.
