Chapter 725 Mom, I Succeeded! (4/4, to Add More Rewards to Chashan Hermits)
Chapter 725 Mom, I succeeded! (44, to add more rewards to Chashan Hermits)
Like Yang Yi and Murphy, not many fathers and mothers can participate in their children's parent-child activities. Many parents still need to go to work, and at most they send one of them to attend. And if the scope is expanded to the society, some people are so busy at work that they can only let elderly parents participate in the activities of their children at school!
Yu Ying is like this. She had already adjusted the class with the deputy foreman today, because the teacher arranged for Yu Xiaowei to participate in the poetry reading competition held by the school, but the deputy foreman suddenly caught a cold and couldn't come. She had to come back to the top, and there was no way to get there. Cheering on the scene for my daughter.
Although she temporarily asked her mother to go there instead of her, Yu Ying still felt very guilty and had been looking forward to leaving get off work all day so that she could go home and apologize to her daughter.
Of course, Yu Ying did not bring her personal emotions to her work, but with a warm smile on her face, she directed the waiters in the lobby. As always, the hotel maintained an orderly service state.
"Sister Ying, didn't you say that Yang Yi last month?" Finally, when it was time to get off work, Yu Ying was changing shoes in the locker room, and a waitress came over and said.
"Well, what's wrong?" Yu Ying asked in confusion.
"No, my boyfriend saw that I mentioned him last time, and went to check it. He is going to take me to see his movie tonight. It is said to be very good!" The waitress smiled.
"Are you showing your love in front of Sister Ying, who has been single for many years?" Yu Ying smiled and rubbed the other's bangs and said angrily.
"No, we also heard that Yang Yi has a book on the market today, but we don't like reading, but I don't know if you like it, Sister Ying, so let me tell you!" The waitress ran away with a smile.
Yu Ying shook her head, took out her bag, and walked out quickly.
She is indeed studying the fairy tales written by Yang Yi recently and learning Yang Yi's writing style, but this does not mean that she is willing to spend money on books.
Now Yu Xiaowei has not finished the first part of "Xixi's Bedtime Story", so Yu Ying is not in a hurry to buy the second part.
...
When I got home, the lights were bright again. Before Yu Ying went to take a bath, she asked Yu Xiaowei how she was doing in the poetry reading competition today.
"Just won the second prize." Yu Xiaowei turned around and went to the room to get a thin certificate and a notebook as a reward, and whispered. She lowered her head and seemed to feel that she was a little sorry for her mother's expectations.
"The second prize is already very powerful! When my mother was studying, she hadn't won the prize yet!" Yu Ying was pleased and comforted, "Keep up the good work and keep working hard!"
Yu Xiaowei nodded obediently.
At this time, Yu Ying's mother handed over a thick letter, looked at Yu Ying strangely, and said, "Ying Er, someone sent a letter from the post office today, who sent it to you?"
Although it was signed by a publishing house, Yu Ying's mother felt a little hopeful!
In the eyes of people of her day, letterhead was used to convey emotions! Obviously in a city, why send a letter? Yu Ying didn't tell her mother that she was trying to submit a manuscript to the publishing house, so her mother misunderstood decisively and felt that a man was sending a love letter to Yu Ying...
Yu Xiaowei also looked curiously at what her mother was holding.
Yu Ying didn't know her mother's misunderstanding. After she saw the sender's signature on the envelope, she was stunned, her right hand holding the letter trembled slightly.
Of course, Yu Ying doesn't know now, what does this letter represent, is it passed? Or a rejection letter?
Yu Ying worries that the latter is more likely, because how long has it been since she submitted the manuscript? One week? two weeks? Doesn't it mean that these publishing houses are inefficient? Rejection will have an echo so soon, right?
"Mom, what is this?" Yu Xiaowei couldn't help asking.
"It's a letter." Yu Ying finally came to her senses and opened it while saying vaguely.
Always face it bravely, and Yu Ying still holds a little hope.
"Ms. Yu Ying, congratulations..." Seeing the first few words, Yu Ying's head buzzed and became blank.
This is... is this a success?
Yu Ying was trembling all over, and even felt dry mouth, as if her thinking had stagnated.
"Ying Er, Ying Er, what's wrong with you?" The mother saw that something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Is it from that bastard?"
Yu Ying calmly returned to her senses, looking at her mother's anxious face and her daughter's worried eyes, with a warm heart, she focused again and glanced at the letter just now.
That's right, the main idea of the letter is to tell her that the outline and works have been approved, and... the support fund granted to her is not 10,000, not 20,000, not 30,000, 40,000, but a full 50,000!
The main thing is to inform her to go to the publishing house to sign a contract. If she is not from Jiangcheng, she can contact the publishing house to reimburse the travel expenses...
The other thick stack sent in the cover letter was a sample contract. Yu Ying finally understood why the other party wanted to send the letter! Of course, if she has a computer and provides an e-mail address, there is no need to send a letter.
In fact, Yu Ying only watched the latter ones later. Seeing the amount of support she received, Yu Ying hugged her daughter excitedly.
"Ying Er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare mom!" The mother asked anxiously.
Yu Ying raised her head, tears were already streaming down her face, she stretched out her arms to embrace her mother and hugged her and her daughter together, choked with embarrassment: "Mom, I succeeded! I really succeeded!"
...
Of course, Yu Ying was not at ease when she didn't get the money. After a whole night of excitement, she called yesterday's deputy foreman and asked her to help replace the shift.
She got on the bus nervously and went to the Sahara Press in Tingshan District to sign a contract.
It was editor Wen Xuefeng who received her. Before signing the contract, Wen Xuefeng carefully explained to Yu Ying the details of the contract, the rights and responsibilities of both parties. After signing the contract, Yu Ying was taken to the finance office by Wen Xuefeng, and the finance staff arranged for the foundation account to remit money to her bank card directly through online banking.
With 50,000 yuan, Yu Ying, who opened the SMS notification, received the account information, and the big stone in her heart fell.
"Our editor-in-chief wants to see you, is it convenient for Ms. Yu?" Wen Xuefeng asked with a smile as he watched Yu Ying's brows loosen after a day of tension.
It was Lu Benjie who wanted to meet Yu Ying. Of course, before meeting Yu Ying, he didn't know who the name represented.
"It's you!" Lu Benjie was a little surprised when he saw Yu Ying.
Afterwards, Lu Benjie commented on the outline of Ying's work and the outline of the story, and he gave a high evaluation of Ying's story: "You use a rag doll as the writing point of view to describe the series of adventures it has experienced after escaping from the little master. , and the growth in the process, this idea is very novel and interesting! In our editorial opinion, if it can be written and written well, it will be a very wonderful children's book!" (Note 1)
Yu Ying asked flattered, "Does Mr. Yang Yi think so too?"
"Mr. Yang Yi?" Lu Benjie was a little surprised, smiled, and said, "Not to mention where he has time to come to the publishing house to participate in the review, and Mr. Yang already told you that he would not interfere in the selection of the foundation? ?"
"I thought it was just talking." Yu Ying said a little embarrassedly.
"Of course not, Mr. Yang has always kept his word!" Lu Benjie said seriously.
Of course, Lu Benjie called Yu Ying over, not to praise her. He pointed out that when Yu Ying submitted the manuscript, the first three chapters were not well written, and there were big flaws in the writing.
"These three chapters are definitely required to be rewritten, but I hope you don't rush to rewrite them, but listen to a few more writing classes given by our experienced old editors, and study more about Mr. Yang Yi or others. Works, it’s not too late to write!” Lu Benjie said excitedly, he got up and took out a complete collection of Yang Yi’s works from the cabinet, but he only picked out the fairy tales written by Yang Yi and handed them to Yu Ying, “These books Give it to you, I hope it can help you!"
Yu Ying never thought that she could own Yang Yi's works without having to buy them, and what Lu Benjie gave her was a hardcover book that Yu Ying was reluctant to buy! What Yu Ying bought by herself was just a simple paperback version of the book.
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Lu!" Yu Ying was really moved by the concern of Sahara Publishing House this time. She not only gave support money, but also asked her to go to class and gave her books to study. How could a publishing house do that? Get so thoughtful?
"Don't thank me, if you can create wonderful works, our publishing house will be proud of you!" Lu Benjie laughed.
However, he turned serious and said seriously: "Ms. Yu, finally, I still hope you can understand that the original intention of our support fund is to hope that more wonderful children's literature works will emerge in the Chinese literary world, and more Excellent children's literature writer!"
Yu Ying froze for a moment and listened carefully.
"Although the support fund given to you may be a lot of income for your current life. But I hope you will take a long-term perspective and work hard to write and write your works well. Our publishing house has The complete industry chain is waiting to support the release of your works, the adaptation of picture books, and even the adaptation of future animations, as long as your works are exciting enough!" Lu Benjie said slowly, "This 50,000 yuan support fund is compared to your future. In terms of possible income, it is really too little!"
Lu Benjie will go through such a conversation with every recipient of the 50,000 support fund, and the purpose is also obvious. Yang Yi didn't think much about it, he thought he could realize his idea by giving money, but after all, there are still many short-sighted people in this world!
It is inevitable that there will be authors who disappear after taking the money! Although the publishing house can still take back their creativity as compensation, this is completely different from Yang Yi's purpose! Lu Benjie talked to them one by one, hoping not to see this unpleasant phenomenon happen!
Yu Ying understood, she was not stupid, she nodded earnestly and said, "Editor Lu, please rest assured, I will work hard, I will not pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon."
(Note 1: The outline of the story comes from "The Adventures of Little Butou". Many book friends may not know this book, but the author, Mr. Sun Youjun, was nominated for the International Andersen Award in 1990, and this work also won an honorary award... ...But the real winner of this International Hans Christian Andersen Award is Mr. Cao Wenxuan in 2016. - Xiaohan checked.) PS: Regarding the progress of the plot, after this paragraph, it will soon become that Xiaohan doesn't like the same plot of water, So almost at the same time, a few years have passed, and it will be the finale.
