Chapter 76 If we are still single at thirty, let’s be together

The next day, Zhao Chunjia arranged for someone to go to the school with the contract to find Qian Quan to sign the contract.

After reading the contract, Qian Quan felt that the treatment Zhao Chunjia gave him was very conscientious.

Because the contract stipulates remuneration, it is not a fixed salary, but a 50-50 split with money and rights.

This means that half of the basketball class fees paid by each student taught by Qian Quan will be given to Qian Quan.

If a class costs 150 yuan, as long as Qian Quan has seven or eight students, he can earn tens of thousands of dollars a year.

It doesn't seem like too much if spread out every month, but the problem is that he only goes to class on weekends.

For a college student, this is a considerable amount of income.

Moreover, the more people sign up, the higher the income.

"We have invited a group of parents to bring their children over this weekend for a trial class. We may have to trouble you to come over and give a demonstration class."

The staff member arranged by Zhao Chunjia said.

"Well, no problem, I will prepare it."

When Qian Quan obtained "professional-level basketball skills", countless basketball knowledge and moves flashed through his mind, including basic, advanced, advanced, and finally professional-level...

In the last demonstration class, there wasn’t much of a problem.

After signing the contract, the staff sent by Zhao Chunjia left.

Qian Quan took stock of his part-time jobs:

Participated in senior Bai Yunzhi’s video team;

Joined the company run by brother and sister Li Zihe and Li Zhiyi;

Now he works part-time as a basketball coach.

Does this mean that with more ability, comes more responsibility?

Not long after Qian Quan made fun of himself, he received a reply from New Story Monthly:

"Dear Mr. Zhen Mingyin/Ms. Hello, your submission "Father's love is like a mountain, my father wants to take the blame for me after accidentally killing my mistress" has passed the preliminary review of the editor and is now entering the final review stage of the chief editor. Please add your editor Qingmo (WeChat

Same phone number: 131XXXXX) to communicate about follow-up matters."

Qian Quan casually added Qingmo editor.

The other party passed quickly, said hello first, and then said:

"Hello, Mr. Zhen Mingyin, your submission has passed my preliminary review and is now entering the final review by the editor. I would like to confirm with you that all the copyrights for your story belong to you and have never been published publicly, right?"

Qian Quan: "Yes."

Qing Mo: "Okay. Another question is, I see that you wrote at the end of the story that the old detective realized something was wrong again. Does this imply that he guessed the real truth?"

Qian Quan: "Yes, I left it blank here, mainly to enhance the aftertaste of the father's self-sacrifice for his son and highlight the appeal of father's love. The hidden plot is that the police finally figured out the truth."

I often hear Ding Linlang complaining about Qian Quan for review, so I naturally understand what editor Qing Mo means.

Qing Mo: "Okay, I don't have any more questions. I will leave you a message as soon as I have any follow-up news."

Qian Quan: "Okay."

It seems that the preliminary review went well. I wonder what will happen in the final review. If it passes, will it be able to compete with my father's article in the same publication?

…

"Arrange this "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" and that "Porcelain Wedding" in the same issue, and the catalog layout should also be together, "Porcelain Wedding" is at the top, and "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" is at the bottom."

"New Story Monthly" editorial department, editor-in-chief He Jue issued new instructions in the work group.

Qing Mo: "Got it, I also feel that these two articles are suitable to be put together. Reading them together gives a sense of caution. [Laughing]"

He Jue: "Well, it's quite a coincidence. The quality of both articles is good, and the themes and concepts are so connected, just like an eight o'clock TV series."

Qing Mo: "Haha, yes, boss, the standard fee for "Father's Love" is also set at 650?"

He Jue: "Okay."

…

In the blink of an eye, November 15th came.

There is one day left until Ding Linlang's birthday.

Qian Quan went to Poppy to buy a black women's windbreaker, ordered a cake, and then made an appointment with Ding Linlang to have dinner and sing together tomorrow night.

In fact, early this morning, Qian Quan received WeChat messages from his mother and Aunt Ye.

His mother reminded him not to forget to celebrate Linlang's birthday, and Aunt Ye directly sent him a red envelope of 188 yuan and asked him to order a cake.

Naturally, Qian Quan couldn't accept the red envelope, so he copied the reply to his mother and sent it to Aunt Ye:

"Mom, don't worry. We've got all the cakes and gifts. We have an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow night."

After posting it, I found that the title had not been changed, so I quickly withdrew it and changed "Mom" to "Aunt Lan".

Unexpectedly, Aunt Lan actually saw it and replied: "You don't have to worry about Shitou. It will happen sooner or later if you can't change it."

Qian Quan responded with a crying-laughing expression.

Aunt Lan: "Shitou, you have to promise me that you will keep an eye on Linlang for me. Unless she finds someone who is more handsome, better, and treats her better than you, otherwise you will get rid of them all. Do you hear me?"

Qian Quan: "Okay Aunt Lan..."

In the evening, Qian Quan deliberately kept watch for a while, and after midnight, he sent the birthday message he had prepared in advance:

"In the summer of 2012, we agreed to listen to each other on the local telephone. We heard the whispers of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the burning stars and the sea, the golden wind blowing the jade dew, the buffalo rolling in the world, ten thousand magpies flying across the Milky Way, the tender red pomegranate, and we were in the middle of the night.

Across time and space, echoing with the chirping of cicadas and tides, we decided to extend the summer of 2012 to winter...

"Happy birthday, Ding Linlang, welcome to the adult world."

Five or six minutes after Qian Quan's message was sent, Ding Linlang replied: "Qian Quan, you are so disgusting..."

Then he replied: "But I like it very much, referring to this poem."

Qian Quan replied with a sunglasses expression.

Ding Linlang: "Just now, my new book has been put on the shelves."

Qian Quan: "Believe in yourself, and putting it on the shelf is also a coming-of-age ceremony for a book."

Ding Linlang: "Actually, after uploading the first VIP chapter, my mood has calmed down. I have no intention of turning back, just let it go."

Qian Quan: “This is the right mentality.”

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and Qian Quan said: "Go to bed early, see you tomorrow."

Ding Linlang: "See you tomorrow."

The next day, November 16, Qian Quan and Ding Linlang finished their afternoon classes and went to Wan'an Plaza not far from Fudan University for dinner. They chose a charcoal grill buffet restaurant.

After the two met, Qian Quan first gave the gift to Ding Linlang.

Ding Linlang tried on the windbreaker on the spot and it fit just right.

Black not only flatters the figure but also shows the skin. It also matches her thin and cold temperament.

"You're quite good at choosing." Ding Linlang obviously liked this gift very much.

"It's okay." Qian Quan said lightly proudly.

After trying on clothes, the two entered the restaurant.

Find a seat first and then choose your own dishes.

"By the way, how about the new books being put on the shelves last night?" Qian Quan asked while holding a tray and picking up beef.

"We can eat this three times a day from now on." Ding Linlang was never modest in front of money and power.

"Lang Lang is so powerful! But in this case, why do you still eat this three times a day? Michelin tires don't taste good?"

"Go ahead and eat the tires yourself."

The two of them chatted and laughed, after ordering the first round of dishes, they went back to their seats to bake.

"Let's get back to the subject, apart from the big hit of your new book, do you have any other wishes as an 18-year-old?" Qian Quan asked.

Ding Linlang looked at Qian Quan and suddenly smiled: "I hope you don't get out of singles before me?"

"Forget it, it is a wish anyway, and it may not always come true." Qian Quan said.

Qian Quan glared at Qian Quan and said: "There is another one, not a wish, but a promise, the kind of promise made by many friends in movies and TV series——

"If we are still single from the age of 2 to 30, let's be together. After all..."

"Okay." Qian Quan agreed readily.

Ding Linlang's smile did not diminish and she continued: "At the same time, we must adhere to the principle of mutual checks and balances for twelve years without wavering."

"no problem."

The two of them were silent in a tacit understanding, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up.
