The entire Story Publishing House occupies two floors.
Shi Qinglan introduced each department to Jiang Shi one by one.
"Here is the art designer, responsible for some patterns and illustrations of the journal."
"This is the proofreader, responsible for checking and correcting errors before printing."
"This is the editorial department, which is also the department I work in."
Jiang Shi followed Sister Qinglan like a little tail.
She looked at the workers coming and going with interest.
Because it was still working hours, most people were busy working, but some employees who noticed Jiang Shi also cast curious eyes towards her.
"This is classmate Jiang Shi, hello!" A man in a slim suit walked towards her.
Shi Qinglan introduced on the side: "This is our editor-in-chief of Story, Xiang Yuan."
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Xiang!" Jiang Shi smiled and stretched out his hand.
The editor-in-chief is the second in command of Story magazine, the first person under the president of the publishing house.
Seeing Jiang Shi's calm and composed manner, Xiang Yuan also said in his heart: He is indeed a great man.
The two hands were clasped together, although it seemed a bit strange to outsiders.
"Hey, who is this little girl? Even the editor-in-chief greeted her with a smile?"
The onlookers on both sides were also extremely shocked when they saw this scene.
"Could she be the daughter of an investor? She looks about 17 or 18 years old."
"No, a little girl of this age, unless she is the granddaughter of the president."
"What's there to guess? Wait until Sister Qinglan comes back and ask her."
"Disperse, disperse, do what you should do..."
Jiang Shi followed the editor-in-chief Xiang into the reception room, and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
The onlookers in the office also dispersed.
The sofa in the reception room was very soft, which reminded Jiang Shi of the one in Ranran's house.
Shi Qinglan took out a teapot from the side and brewed tea.
Xiang Yuan asked with a smile: "Is Jiang Shi used to drinking tea? There are also milk drinks here."
Although he knew that the other party was "Jiang Lai", from the appearance, he always regarded the other party as a young child.
"It doesn't matter, I can drink it." Jiang Shi picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.
The tea was very hot, but it was this heat that made Jiang Shi feel that the coldness in his body was dispelled.
And this tea must be expensive, and it has a slight sweetness after tasting, not sour.
"That's good, is Jiang Shi here to travel in Yanjing this time?"
Xiang Yuan did not talk about business at the beginning, but chatted casually like chatting about family matters.
"Not completely, mainly to participate in the national essay competition."
"Yanjing's is the finals, right? Is Jiang Shi here for the first place in the country?"
In Xiang Yuan's eyes, this kind of essay competition is not easy for Jiang Shi to win.
This little girl can write a work like "Chess Master". Her writing skills are so profound that even the judges may not be able to outperform her.
"That's still a bit difficult. After all, she has to face masters from all over the country."
Jiang Shi smiled modestly and didn't say too much. After all, it's easy to be struck by lightning if you show off!
After chatting for a while, Xiang Yuan also pulled the topic to cooperation.
"While Jiang Shi has time to come to our editorial office, there are two things we can talk about."
Jiang Shi became a little more serious. From the other party's tone, the next thing is likely to be related to her wallet.
"The first thing is about "Chess Master". The publishing house is going to put this novel on the nomination list for the Youth Literature Award. We also need to ask for your opinion."
"Youth Literature Award?" Jiang Shi was slightly stunned. She really didn't expect this.
She always felt that literary awards were very far away, and such awards generally require not only outstanding works.
It also depends on the author's status and popularity in the literary world.
If you give the award to a little Karami who no one knows, there will definitely be people who will not accept it.
I don’t have many works under my name. Although I have some fame, I can’t compare with those truly famous writers!
“The Youth Literature Award is an award jointly established by more than a dozen literary magazines, including our Story, to honor young writers.”
Shi Qinglan explained on the side.
Jiang Shi also reacted at this time. Just giving a nomination does not necessarily mean winning the award.
However, this also shows that Story attaches great importance to her novel, and it is more like an olive branch.
Xiang Yuan looked at the little girl thinking, and smiled and added: “This award is mainly for young writers under 30 years old.The competition is much smaller than other awards."
"After all, we have to give the younger generation some opportunities to be on stage."
In the literary world, except for a handful of geniuses among geniuses, fame and level are mostly linked to age.
Without time to settle, it is often difficult to achieve results.
This also makes it difficult for some outstanding young writers to have the opportunity to show themselves.
Xiang Yuan's implication here is that Jiang Shi's works are not completely without the opportunity to win awards.
After all, the age limit has screened out many well-known writers who have long been famous.
"But the popularity of the work will still have some impact, so I hope that Jiang Shi can submit more manuscripts to us before the award selection."
Jiang Shi narrowed his eyes and waited for her here, meaning that she should publish more works to increase the popularity of the pen name "Jiang Lai".
The problem is that good works are not leeks, and there will be another crop after cutting one crop.
She has to type them out word by word.
"For the manuscript fee, we can directly give half a point share for the current period. "Xiang Yuan threw out another very sincere cooperation condition.
Although it is only half a point, the sales volume of "Story" is here.
According to the sales of 3.5 million copies of the long special issue in the first month, minus the cost of the printing factory, there are also tens of millions of profits.
Half a point can also be divided into nearly 100,000 royalties, which is much more than the royalties calculated by the number of words.
Hearing this, Jiang Shi also felt excited. Writing a manuscript can make a lot of net money.
This is also the first time she has experienced the feeling of money flowing like water. It is impossible not to be tempted.
"When the sales and popularity of the work are up, we can also publish your novel collection, Jiang, separately. "
Xiang Yuan threw another big pie, but this big pie was indeed in his plan.
He had to focus on magazines, and he couldn't let go of physical book publishing. He wanted to use Jiang Shi to make the business scope of "Story" no longer limited to magazines.
He also wanted to get a piece of the pie of physical book publishing.
And the starting point of this idea was Jiang Shi's "Lamb".
Jiang Shi was not overwhelmed by the benefits one after another. She needed time to think.
The premise of such a generous reward naturally requires more conditions.
She turned to ask the second thing.
"Editor-in-Chief Xiang, what is the other thing you mentioned?"
