Eighties Housekeeper Little Wife

Jiang Lili said that everyone was speechless. The publishing house's books are indeed going to boost sales, and there are indicators for the number and cost of books published each year. In addition to some step-by-step textbooks, there are also some extracurricular books that are helpful for learning.

The full name of Chen Yuan's English book is "How to Learn English". It is an extracurricular book. The price of publishing an extracurricular book is not cheap, and it has to pay high copyright fees and printing fees. Subsequent sales will also require promotion fees.

After a series of expenses, the book may not be able to make money, and it may not be able to reach the sales volume of the publishing house. If it cannot be achieved, the huge cost may be borne by the publishing house itself. There are many publishing houses that are Because the book is not easy to sell, resulting in serious losses and bankruptcy.

And for publishers, books that can be sold to make money are considered books. If they cannot be sold, they are a pile of waste paper. It is not that there are no books that cannot be sold in their warehouses, and some of the books from the previous year are still piled up there. No one cares at all.

Their Wucheng Literary Publishing House is one of the best in the city in terms of strength and scale, and the current good prospects are all carefully managed by the old leaders, so no one can just waste his life's efforts.

Jiang Lili is the new editor-in-chief, and now she is the one who takes over and calls the shots. Naturally, she has to listen to her, and no one can afford the risk that the book will not be sold.

Looking at the silence of the surrounding employees, Jiang Lili was very satisfied with this scene, and said that the new officer's appointment was three fires. She didn't want to do this at first. The publishing house is doing well, it's just too rigid and too slow to develop, but it's really surprising that he agreed to publish this book this time.

However, Jiang Lili felt that Teacher Dong must have misunderstood, or she was deceived by the author of the book or his subordinates. In short, canceling the publication of this book was the most correct decision. She is also fortunate that she took over , I haven't signed the contract yet. If I sign the contract, it will be too late to regret it, so I can only bite the bullet and continue.

She whispered softly, issued an order, and said to everyone: "Since no one has any objection, then return the manuscript to the author."

"It's... not very good."

Fang Cuiping was very uncomfortable. Anyone who was in charge of the matter seemed to be successful, but I didn't expect things to go wrong now, and it would not feel good if the manuscript was completely rejected and rejected.

"What's wrong, didn't you hear what I said? No, no, no, this matter is not negotiable."

Jiang Lili's words belonged to an ultimatum. After speaking, everyone lowered their heads and dared not look at her. Fang Cuiping felt helpless. It's a pity that this book cannot be published.

The old leader's vision is very good, but unfortunately his students are not very good at all. The old leader said at the beginning that this book will make a big change to traditional learning methods. If you agree with the content of this book, you will definitely give The children bring unexpected gains. Once the effect is seen, it will become this year's best-selling book, and the sales will definitely be very good.

Fang Cuiping and the old leader have similar ideas. She also thinks that this book will be popular. Her children learn to start with the most basic English according to the above method and play games, and now they like English more and more. The performance has improved obviously, so she wants to publish this book as much as she can to benefit the public.

Moreover, when they learned that it could be published, many parents were also looking forward to it. They originally wanted to ask Chen Yuan to teach their children homework, but they were rejected by Chen Yuan, and they wanted Chen Yuan to publish a book. Now it can't be published. Not good to explain.

As soon as she thought of these things, she began to feel overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it.

At this time, after Jiang Lili rejected Chen Yuan's book, she took out a copy of another manuscript from her backpack and distributed a copy to everyone present: "Now everyone, please take a look at this, such a manuscript is the only one It's the right book for our publishing house."

Fang Cuiping took it over and took a look. This manuscript is for teaching Chinese composition, but the content in it is very common, and I can't see any novel methods at all. It is far from Chen Yuan's book. It can be said that although the two books are Not of the same type, but from a learning perspective, there is absolutely no comparison.

Besides, elementary school students don't need a good writing style at all. This book is a bit advanced for elementary school students, but not enough for middle and high school students. In short, it's neither good nor bad. Did Jiang Lili take the wrong medicine and store treasures? Don't take it seriously, but want to publish this unremarkable thing.

"Editor-in-chief, I think this is quite ordinary. Are you really not considering Chen Yuan's book?"

"Don't mention the word Chen Yuan to me from now on, I remember that I answered you plainly and I won't publish that. As for the book in my hand, you can read it first, don't be in a hurry draw conclusions."

The first draft in Jiang Lili's hand was written by her relatives. After reading it, she felt that it was not bad. It was suitable for current students to study. Moreover, their publishing house has always had regular customers, so she only needs to give a little publicity to various bookstores. , I want to buy a better one is absolutely no problem, and no matter how much this book sells, it will be divided into five or five with relatives, and I have a way to do this without anyone knowing it, so that no one can see the problem. .

In the end, the publishing house returned the manuscript. Fang Cuiping and several parents went to Chen Yuan’s house after get off work. They felt very disappointed that Chen Yuan could not publish the book.

Fang Cuiping said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen, this matter was not done. Originally, our old leaders agreed, but because of a sudden illness, he couldn't work, and the new editor-in-chief didn't like the book, so he insisted on not publishing it. I There is really no way.”

Chen Yuan understands Fang Cuiping very well. After all, about publishing, she has run many times to help herself, so it doesn't matter if she can't publish, she should thank Fang Cuiping anyway.

"It's okay, Sister Fang, it's not a big deal if you can't publish it."

Fang Cuiping didn't say anything, but a parent beside her was a little unwilling: "How can you forget it? What kind of vision does your new editor-in-chief have? Even such a good English book can't be seen, how high her vision is."

Fang Cuiping was helpless: "I don't know, she took a first draft of teaching composition for elementary school and wanted us to publish it, but I've read all the content, and it's not as good as Teacher Chen's book. I think she really is Look away."

"What's wrong? I think she must be selfish. Isn't there a quota for extracurricular books from your publishing house every year? I think she just wants to use the books she recommends."

Fang Cuiping also knows this truth, but unfortunately she has to continue working in the publishing house, so she must not resist the leadership: "There's no way, she's the editor-in-chief, she's what she says, we're just ordinary employees who don't have the right to speak."

"Then let's take Teacher Chen's book and give it to the children for nothing? It's not impossible. I wish that my children would fall behind ours. Then my children can be admitted to key schools. A lot of competitors."

A parent surnamed Wang came out to stop everyone from arguing: "Don't be arguing, I think so, it's really a pity that this book can't be published, but it's too selfish for us to keep it by ourselves, and we can't take Teacher Chen's things for nothing, but Paying the book fee alone is too small compared to the copyright fee that was originally negotiated. Otherwise, none of us will teach our children to learn this book, or we will find another publishing house to submit the manuscript. This Wucheng is so big, it will definitely A discerning editor-in-chief appreciates this book.”

Fang Cuiping and other parents heard it and asked them to give up this book, how could it be possible if they didn't teach their children? And if she gave up this book, wouldn't that mean she gave up the chance to make friends with Chen Yuan? If she has any novel learning methods in the future, she won't be able to see it. Besides, these people have just tasted the sweetness. So easy to give up.

"It is absolutely impossible to give up. Let's find other publishing houses for publication. There must be suitable ones for a few more votes."

Everyone agreed with this decision, and expressed their willingness to contribute to the manuscript. In order to express their gratitude, Chen Yuan kept them in the Shen family for meals.

During dinner in the evening, Chen Yuan made a sumptuous table and just told Shen Huai to ask Shen Mingyuan to come over to eat too. Shen Huai went to find Shen Mingyuan. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Shen Mingyuan in the house, crying in a low voice. He held the rattan in one hand and the rattan frame that he used to sell melon seeds in the other hand. The original rattan was broken and it would definitely not be able to withstand the force of gravity, so he had to replace it with a new one.

Seeing that his brother was crying, Shen Huai knew that there must be an accident, and hurriedly asked: "Mingyuan, what happened? You must tell your brother if you have something to say, whoever bullies you, don't have a brother to support you. Afraid."

He wondered if the manager of that newspaper was bullying Shen Mingyuan again? Or what happened when the stall was set up?

Shen Mingyuan kept shaking, choked and said, "Brother, my dad knew I was back, he went to the stall to find me, and asked me why I didn't say hello to him in advance when I came back, and didn't let me set up a stall outside, he said I was It's not good at learning."

Hearing this, Shen Huai became furious, and his face was extremely ugly. Shen Chang'an was really too much. What kind of skill is it to bully his younger brother? As for that face, is he trying to get it back from the third child?

"Mingyuan, don't cry, you're right, it's him who's wrong, he's not qualified to be a father at all, it's okay if he doesn't support you, and he's making trouble for you. Did he also make this cane? The stall is broken"

When Shen Mingyuan heard this, he was even more sad, and his tears were even bigger: "More than ten catties of melon seeds were spilled on the ground, and they couldn't be sold. Before a deal was made, he was disturbed by him, and the frame was also damaged. Now, I just bought this new one not long ago, I can't bear to throw it away, and it can still be used for replenishment."

Shen Huai took a deep breath: "Don't make up this frame. I'll buy you a new one when I come back later. Let's calculate how much you lost."

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"We can't let him bully in vain. I'll find him to settle accounts later. You can rest assured to set up a stall in the future. I promise that he won't dare to bully you again."

Shen Mingyuan snorted, and hurriedly counted how many kilograms of melon seeds he lost, "There are fifteen kilograms of melon seeds in total, and the price is less than 5 yuan, and there are two baskets of twenty-five cents. The total is..."

Shen Huai shook his head: "It's 20 yuan in total."

Shen Mingyuan froze for a moment and explained, "Not so much."

"If I say yes, there is. Since he dares to smash your booth, he must be prepared to lose money. Besides, it is only right and proper for us to ask him for a loss."

"Isn't that too much?"

"Not much, this is what he owes you."

After Shen Huai finished speaking, he went to the Shen family's old house. Shen Changan was watching TV and drinking tea leisurely on the sofa. He didn't call when he saw it. The third child was going to deliver newspapers during the day and cook melon seeds at night. Selling melon seeds, getting up early every day and being greedy for the dark, unable to sleep for a few hours a day, Shen Changan works comfortably in his unit, how could such a person understand his hard work?

But he can disapprove, he can sit on the sidelines, but he can't destroy it, this is really infuriating.

Shen Huai asked when he entered the door: "The third child is already suffering, do you still have any conscience? He is your own son after all, but you treat him like this, I sometimes really doubt us. The brother was adopted from outside, why are you so kind to your stepmother's son and daughter? You are so mean to us."

"You son of a bitch, I'm dad, do you just talk to your elders like this? I worked so hard to bring you up, and that's what you think of me? If I were really mean to you, I would have kicked you out of the house long ago. ."

"What's the difference between you doing this to the third child and being kicked out of the house? Don't think I don't know the little Jiujiu in your heart. You send him to the wood factory, just because you want to be out of sight and out of mind, and stay away from home. Don't get in the way. In fact, you have long disliked him as a disabled person in your heart, but have you ever thought about it, and he doesn't want it. And what's wrong with him setting up the stall? Totally negative."

Shen Chang'an's face was also very ugly when he heard it: "The third child set up a stall such an unprofessional errand, it can't be the solution that your husband and wife thought of it, I will say that the third child is so honest, how could it be possible to think of speculation, it turns out that you are doing it behind your back. Come out and say I deny it, I am doing this for his own good, if I don’t learn the technique well, I will definitely be useless in the future, you think it is for his own good, but it will actually hurt him.”

Shen Huai didn't want to continue to entangle with Shen Changan on this matter, because the damage he caused to the third child has already been formed, no matter how much he says, it can't be undone.

"I don't want to talk to you today. You smashed the third child more than 10 catties of melon seeds. You will pay as much money as you need. If you don't pay, I will call the police, or let everyone in your unit know."

As soon as Shen Chang'an's weakness is taken for granted, he is a person who loves face, and hates to be known about his scandal. Of course, it is really a failure to live like this.

Shen Changan's face turned green in an instant: "If I knew you were like this, I shouldn't have given birth to you, I can't afford to offend you, I will give you money, don't ask me for anything in the future, I will not have you two children. ."

"Okay, it's a deal. We can't ask for it. We lose a total of 20 yuan. Let's pay."

Shen Changan looked at Shen Huai suspiciously: "Who are you fooling, why so many?"

"Not much, this is what you owe the third child, I don't care how much you want, I will be ashamed for you to be like you as a father, the fathers of other families treat their children with sincerity, and you are raised by your own flesh and blood and your stepmother. The treatment has been transferred over, but that's fine, just let your stepson serve you when you're older, don't come and beg us."

"Okay, I will be disabled in the future, and I will never trouble you. I'll give you the money and leave quickly."

After Shen Changan finished speaking, he threw down a handful of change and angrily drove people away.

Shen Huai put the money in his pocket and finally left a sentence: "You better remember what you said. If you still go to Shen Mingyuan to trouble you, I will never let you go."

"Come on, go, I really don't want to see you for a minute longer."

Shen Changan felt that he had raised this son in vain. The second son was more promising than the third son, but what was the use of that? Isn't he a wolf-hearted man? .

Shen Huai went back and bought a new frame for Shen Mingyuan, and gave him the 20 yuan in compensation.

Shen Mingyuan got the compensation money, and his face improved a lot, but he was still depressed, and he didn't go to Shen Huai's house for dinner at night.

Chen Yuan hadn't seen Shen Mingyuan in the past few days, but on her own data panel, the other party's happiness index once again broke a new low. Before, it had finally risen a little because of selling melon seeds to make money, but now it has returned to its original position.

When I came back and heard Shen Huai say that Shen Changan was looking for trouble, I was really helpless. It is not so easy to help Shen Mingyuan.

Moreover, if the index that has fallen down wants to rise again, it will not be easy. In short, don't be too impatient. Maybe Shen Mingyuan's mental pressure is too great these days and he needs to relax.

"Ah, are you going to the movies tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow you tell Shen Mingyuan not to rush out of the stall after get off work, let's go to the cinema."

"good."

Shen Huai thought that Chen Yuan was really considerate. Knowing that Shen Mingyuan was in a bad mood, he bought a movie ticket to comfort him, but he felt that Chen Yuan was too good to Shen Mingyuan, which made him a little tasteful. When would he be treated like this? Enough.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, when Shen Mingyuan heard the news that he was going to the cinema, his first reaction was to refuse, because it was a waste of money, and he didn't set up a stall yesterday, so he wanted to sell more today.

Shen Huai knew what Shen Mingyuan was thinking at a glance, and persuaded: "Mingyuan, no matter how tired you are, you can't make enough money, but life still needs to go on, and do you know what you make money for? Making money is for making money. To live a better life, in order to enjoy some things that you have not done, if you only make money and do not spend it, you will feel a lot of pressure, very hard, very hard, and even a little thing can crush you. This is all of us. Unwanted to see."

Shen Mingyuan must save everything he does, and he is reluctant to spend money on everything. Although money is very important, Shen Huai does not want to become a straw that crushes Shen Mingyuan. He should know how to manage his money rationally and relieve his pressure, so that he can live a good life. As it gets better and better, Shen Mingyuan will become more and more cheerful.

Shen Mingyuan was finally persuaded by Shen Huai and agreed to go to the movie. He suddenly felt that the second brother was right, he was indeed a little too weak, and the second brother had already asked his father for the money back, so he should be happy no matter what, and Even if my father doesn't support it, what can I do? If I really give up setting up a stall, it is definitely impossible.

After he figured it out, Shen Mingyuan used the money from the compensation to buy movie tickets and invite his second brother and second sister-in-law to watch the movie.

The title of the movie is "When the Mountains Are Full of Red Leaves".

Except for Shen Huai, Shen Mingyuan and Chen Yuan both walked into a cinema in the 1980s for the first time. In fact, the facilities in the cinema at this time were very simple. In front of the center, the current movie screen is not particularly clear, but the atmosphere and experience are still okay.

Shen Mingyuan was more nervous, he came to his seat at the back, sat on the bench without moving for a bit, or Shen Huai handed him a handful of melon seeds, and he came back to his senses, holding the melon seeds while waiting for the movie Playing it, I thought a few days ago that he was thinking about whether he would have the opportunity to watch the movie, but now it has actually come true.

And eating their own fried melon seeds, watching movies on the big screen, not to mention so comfortable, no wonder many customers like to bring a handful of melon seeds in and eat and watch, really enjoy life.

Shen Mingyuan suddenly had a thought in his heart, it's really good, can life be better, as long as you make more money, you can enjoy a better life.

In order to be able to come to the cinema more often in the future, I have to work harder.

Chen Yuan wasn't interested in movies. She was interested in Shen Mingyuan and Shen Huai. Both seemed to be in a good mood. Watching movies was indeed the right choice.

Just thinking about it, Shen Huai suddenly turned his head to look at her, not knowing what he was going to do, he paused for a second, then turned back secretly.

But it didn't take long, he glanced at Chen Yuan again, and was discovered by Chen Yuan again.

Chen Yuan was silent on the side, the movie had already started at this time, there was no sound around, and it seemed that the sound of Shen Huai's breathing could be heard next to him.

She measured her head, attracted by the sound of his breathing.

In fact, she sometimes suspects that human beings are really magical creatures. Before, they had no body temperature, no heartbeat, and no breathing. They were completely two-class existences like humans.

But he has now become a human, and he has a human husband who is still looking at him.

Chen Yuan also wanted to see why human husbands look at themselves, because it is difficult for human minds to guess. She also has a lot of experience to make basic judgments, but she still can't understand more profound things.

For example, why should Shen Huai watch a good movie if he doesn't watch it?

Doesn't he see his face every day? Are you still tired of seeing

Chen Yuan turned her head sideways, looked at Shen Huai's profile, and saw his long and narrow eyelashes, wheat-colored skin, slightly quivering Adam's apple, and angular outline.

This kind of appearance should be considered a very handsome type in people.

Shen Huai started knocking melon seeds.

Ok...

When I was eating melon seeds, my appearance decreased a little bit.

It seems to be induced, and the appearance of eating melon seeds will decrease. Shen Huai plucks the seeds of the melon seeds with his hands, so that it will not affect his image.

However, to Chen Yuan's surprise, a melon seed kernel was placed in her palm like a dragonfly, which Shen Huai had just peeled.

Well, his appearance is even more handsome this time.

The melon seeds taste good too.

Shen Huai saw Chen Yuan eating the melon seeds that he had peeled. Although there was no expression, the curvature of the corners of his lips betrayed him.

Chen Yuan was shocked, and the index rose.

She looked at Shen Huai quietly and found that he was really silly.

"This?"

Shen Huai suddenly became serious for a second and looked at her as if nothing had happened.

"Ok?"

"It's okay~."

Not long after, another small melon seed kernel was handed over.

When Chen Yuan took it this time, she deliberately swiped his finger with her hand. It didn't matter when she touched it, she instantly felt a lot of energy, and she was so comfortable.

Because the energy coming from Shen Huai is much more than the other Shen family members, the power on his body is very good, and Chen Yuan feels that the hairs on his body are about to open.

Shen Huai gave Chen Yuan the sunflower seeds again, and she could always touch Shen Huai's fingers. Although she didn't understand why Shen Huai was so happy, as long as she could absorb energy, it didn't matter.

The two touched their fingers, feeling each other's body temperature.

One after another, the kernels of sunflower seeds entered Chen Yuan's mouth, and she ate them happily. Where did the sunflower kernels eat, it was simply energy.

Shen Huai saw that Chen Yuan liked to eat, and the speed of peeling melon seeds sped up a bit.

Sunflower seeds are sweet, and so is his heart.

Unknowingly, the three of them were still at the end of the movie theater, but their thoughts were completely different.

Shen Mingyuan continued to work the next day. He had been working in this newspaper for a month and a half, and the process was bumpy, but it was always the first job he had found, and he still cherished it in his heart.

Yesterday, after watching the movie, I went home and went to bed early. Today, I feel that I have a lot of strength. There just happened to be a truckload of ink outside, and the manager told them to unload the goods.

The raincoat man's name is Sun Qiang, and he is the only colleague who has communicated with him these days.

Shen Mingyuan and Sun Qiang went out to carry ink together. He walked at the back and moved relatively quickly. He carried two boxes of ink out by himself.

This truck has to be carried back and forth four or five times. After Shen Mingyuan carried the box three times, when he carried the box for the fourth time, he just picked it up and found that the bottom was full of ink, and his face changed instantly, and he quickly put the box back. in place.

But it was too late, and my colleague just happened to stare at it, and shouted in surprise: "Aiya, Shen Mingyuan, why did the ink leak from your box?"

"I don't know what's going on, but I found it out as soon as I saw it." Shen Mingyuan was a little at a loss, his colleague didn't listen to his explanation, he turned around and hurried to tell the manager.

The manager was angry when he heard it. He had always looked down on Shen Mingyuan, and after the last time the newspaper got wet in the rain, he hated him even more. This time, when he heard that the ink was leaking again, he preconceived that he must have broken it.

Immediately, he was furious: "Shen Mingyuan, can you do anything better? Do you know how much a barrel of ink costs? Is your monthly salary enough to pay for it?"

Sun Qiang just sent a box back, but unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened, so he helped Shen Mingyuan to speak: "Manager, is there a misunderstanding? You should listen to Shen Mingyuan's explanation first, it should not be caused by him."

Shen Mingyuan calmed down a little this time before saying: "It's really not that I broke it, but it was leaked when I found it, and it should have been scattered during the transportation."

"How dare you quibble. With so many barrels of ink, why is the one you touched leaked? Last time, the newspapers of other people were all intact, but yours was completely soaked."

The manager saw that Shen Mingyuan would sometimes tremble uncontrollably, as if suffering from this neurological disease, his limbs must not be as flexible as a normal person, so don't even think about it, he must have broken it.

Shen Mingyuan was a little aggrieved at first, but he felt that he was really wronged this time, and he felt that there was no need to endure: "I said it, it's not me, how can you believe it."

"Compensate for the ink, or give me a bastard."

These words instantly aroused Shen Mingyuan's anger. After working here for a month, he was so angry that he was scolded almost every day. Moreover, the job was not easy. He only earned 5 yuan after a month of exhaustion. He didn't make as much money selling melon seeds for a few days at all. The manager couldn't get used to it, so he found fault with him.

If it wasn't for the lack of money, who would want to be cowardly? After going to the cinema yesterday, Shen Mingyuan realized something. He couldn't be a slave to money or a manager, just because he earned five yuan a month? Working here, wanting to spend free money to go to the movies in the future is a fool's dream, so he doesn't want to endure it anymore, he wants to change a comfortable way of living.

Shen Mingyuan suddenly shouted loudly: "You will threaten me with these two words, what else will you say? Do you think I can't live without you? Tell you a big mistake, just get out of here, I don't do it. already."

These words not only shocked the boss, but also shocked several other colleagues. Sun Qiang opened his eyes wide, seeing that Shen Mingyuan, who has always been a bit of a coward, actually dared to say his resignation.

They all knew that Shen Mingyuan was a disabled person, and he had to find a relationship to get this job. The relationship wasn't that good, but they wouldn't bully him madly.

In Shen Mingyuan's situation, it was not easy to find a job, so he finally arranged to come in. If he lost his job, how would he live in the future.

Several people admired his courage, but they really felt that what he said was too impulsive. The manager is someone who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he originally wanted to drive Shen Mingyuan away. Now, doesn't this give him a chance?

The manager sneered, "Okay, it's really strong, everyone listens, Shen Mingyuan said no, it's not that I want to drive him away, don't cry and beg me to come back then."

"Don't worry, I won't come back. When will my salary be given this month?"

The manager is now eager for Shen Mingyuan to leave quickly, so he doesn't want to rely on the salary of the three melons: "The salary can be paid to you, but if you smashed a few barrels of ink, you will have to compensate according to the price."

"good."

Shen Mingyuan just wanted to leave the newspaper office as soon as possible and leave this suffocating environment. He definitely did not make this decision on impulse, but after careful consideration.

Sometimes the second sister-in-law often says that the rewards of certain jobs are far less than the energy you put in. On the contrary, you can get equal or even several times more income by paying for some things.

He finally understands now that the job of the newspaper office is the first type. It is a waste of time and energy, and if it is not profitable, it is better to resign and concentrate on selling melon seeds.

It is also because now that I have a choice, I am more confident. If it was replaced by a newspaper, I would not have dared to resign like this.

When Shen Mingyuan walked out of the gate, and Sun Qiang caught up behind him, he was a little anxious: "Why are you so impulsive this time, what will you do if you really resign? Although I am not happy here, but I have children and a wife. It's not easy to get a job if you want to change it for a while, you just endure the job and endure the calm for a while, otherwise you should admit your mistake to the manager, it's better than losing your job."

Shen Mingyuan shook his head and refused Sun Qiang's suggestion: "I have a way. As long as people can use their hands and feet well, they can live anywhere. I really can't do it anymore, so I will never go back."

Shen Mingyuan had always kept the stalls a secret. He had never told his colleagues, let alone been discovered by them. Of course, Sun Qiang didn't know that Shen Mingyuan could still sell melon seeds to make money.

"Hey, why are you so troubled? If you lose this job, what will you do in the future? Although this job is less paid, you can barely survive."

At this moment, a motorcycle happened to pass by, and it was none other than Shen Chunfu and Zhou Qingmei, their eyes just met Shen Mingyuan who was standing on the side of the road.

I don't know if they heard what Sun Qiang said.

Anyway, at this moment, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Qingmei. Her appearance did not change much from before. She didn't show any special expression when she looked at Shen Mingyuan. She just stayed on him for a while, then turned to look elsewhere.

Shen Mingyuan was not too disappointed, but a little embarrassed, embarrassed that he didn't get along well enough, others had motorcycles, but he didn't, others were rich, but he was poor. This is the gap, but Zhou Qingmei's last impression disappeared with the moment she turned her head just now.

He felt that he should let go of this matter, laughing at himself that he had just lost his job, and now is not the time to think about long-term relationships.

"Sun Qiang, I'm leaving, I'll see you again later."

Sun Qiang looked at Shen Mingyuan's back, and always felt a little regretful. After watching for a while, he reluctantly continued to report back to the company.

***

Chen Yuan's English book was submitted to various publishing houses in Wucheng. After half a month, one of them finally expressed interest in her book.

However, the scale of this newspaper is relatively small, and I heard that the benefits are not very good. In general, its strength is not comparable to the previous Wucheng Literature Publishing House.

The name of this publishing house is Huayu Culture. They are willing to publish English books by Chen Yuan, but they can only print 500 copies.

Fang Cuiping and a few parents felt that this number was a bit small, especially when Cuiping was also in this business. Five hundred volumes was the minimum number, and it was simply not enough to read in the stack of books.

But right now there is no other way but to choose this publishing house.

What Chen Yuan asked for was a sharing contract. Although it may seem risky, if you buy it well, it will be very profitable.

The editor-in-chief of Huayu Culture has read Chen Yuan's book and thinks that there is a market prospect, but this kind of book has never been seen before, and it has never been in the category before, so I can only test the water with less printing first. If the investment is too much, they will publish it. The benefits of the club are not good in the first place, and it will be worse if it can't sell at that time.

Jiang Lili of Wucheng Culture learned that Chen Yuan's book had been published by Huayu Culture, and only printed 500 copies of such a shabby figure, she was going to laugh crazy. The new book "Happy Writing Essay" she was in charge of publishing was also recently finalized. 3,000 copies will be printed, which is not an order of magnitude in comparison.

However, the other party will lose money sooner or later with these five hundred books, so Huayu Culture is really mindless.
