Chapter 400 "This Is a Golden Chicken that Can Lay Eggs."
"Xue Mili?!"
Tian Yanning was speechless.
Isn't this the name of a female author? How can a Bashu man like me come up with such a sexy name?
Tian Yanning's attitude was expected by Zhao Hongjun. He said calmly: "Writer Tian, this is the conclusion drawn by our company after comprehensive evaluation and analysis of your book. This pen name is very sexy and fashionable. Look at Xue Mili, just like Jin Yong, Gu Long, Qiong Yao, and Cen Kailun, it sounds like Hong Kong and Taiwan, which attracts people's attention."
"This"
"Writer Tian, the pen name is also one of the contents of the contract." Zhao Hongjun put away his smile and his face became serious.
Tian Yanning understood.
If you want to publish your book, you must accept this condition!
After hesitating for a while, Tian Yanning gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I agree with you, let's call it Xue Mili!"
Even if you write such a book, you still want a chastity arch!
"Well, Mr. Tian, you can take a rest for a night. Tomorrow morning we will formally sign the contract and give you the royalties immediately! I, Zhao Hongjun, do business and keep my word. I will never delay paying royalties!"
"Yes, thank you."
Tian Yanning said, and suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Zhao, a good brother of mine and my unit also wrote a book called "From Female Star to Death Row Prisoner". Can you see if it can be published?"
Tian Yanning took out a stack of manuscripts from her bag and handed them to the other party.
Zhao Hongjun roughly flipped through it. The style was very similar to that of "Female Housekeeper", but the content was more erotic.
Zhao Hongjun did not agree immediately: "How about this, I'll take a look first and give you a reply tomorrow, how about it?"
"Yes."
"Have you stayed? Or should I contact a hotel for you?" Zhao Hongjun became enthusiastic again.
"No, no, I'll stay at the Chunfeng Hotel opposite your company." Tian Yanning declined.
I muttered to myself, the place you introduced to me is too expensive for me to live in.
After sending Tian Yanning away, Zhao Hongjun picked up the phone and called Fang Minghua.
On the phone, Zhao Hongjun told the story of Tian Yanning's visit to the company: "Minghua, Tian Yanning brought another book, do you want to take a look?"
"Okay, I'll take a look when I go back tonight."
"Okay, I'll ask Tangtang to bring it back to you, hanging up."
"Wait. Otherwise, Hongjun, you can treat Tian Yanning to dinner tonight, I also want to meet him." Fang Minghua suddenly said.
"Invite him to dinner?"
"Don't underestimate this Xue Mili, she is a goose that can lay golden eggs. Of course, it doesn't need to be too grand, just a simple dinner."
"OK, I understand, I'll call you after I arrange it."
After Zhao Hongjun hung up the phone, he pondered for a while, and then picked up the phone again: "Xiao Liu, come over."
Soon a young girl in a black OL uniform walked in. This is Zhao Hongjun's newly recruited secretary, named Liu Xue.
"Boss Zhao, what's up?"
"The writer named Tian Yanning is staying at the Chunfeng Hotel across the street. Go and tell him that I'll treat him to dinner tonight. Tell him to wait at the hotel and don't run around."
"Okay. Boss Zhao, where are you going to meet us? Do you need me to book it?" Liu Xue asked.
"Well, let's arrange it at Xijing Restaurant. Book a private room. I'll go and order the dishes."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The sound of Liu Xue's high heels gradually faded from near to far.
"Well, it's good that Tangtang has all employees wear uniforms. Men wear suits and leather shoes, and women wear suits and skirts like those in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. They look classy." Zhao Hongjun was very satisfied with this.
"What? Boss Zhao is treating me to dinner tonight?" At Chunfeng Hotel, Liu Xue saw Tian Yanning and told her about this, and the other party was a little surprised.
"Yes, the location is at the very famous Xijing Restaurant in Xijing. When the time comes, our Boss Zhao will drive to pick you up."
"Okay, okay." Tian Yanning quickly agreed.
"Goodbye!" Liu Xue glanced at the other party.
I don't know why Mr. Zhao would value this plain-looking man. She has been in the company for less than three months, but Mr. Zhao invites all government officials or some corporate leaders to dinner, and rarely invites unknown writers.
Of course, as a secretary, you just need to do what the leader arranges, and don't ask too much about other things.
Liu Xue graduated from high school and didn't get into college. She stayed at home for more than a year. She applied for the job. She is beautiful and smart, so she was arranged to be the secretary of the general manager. She cherishes this job very much.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Hongjun called home and said that he had a social event. After get off work, he drove Tian Yanning from the hotel to Xi'an Restaurant and entered the reserved private room.
"Writer Tian, there is no one else today. In addition to you and me, I have a friend." Zhao Hongjun said.
Tian Yanning originally thought that they were the two of them, but she didn't expect Zhao Hongjun to have another friend coming, and she was a little uneasy.
When writing this book, he always felt a little like a thief, sneaking around and hiding from the light.
After a long time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a young man in a suit walked in.
"Sorry, I'm a little late."
Tian Yanning looked at him and felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He took a closer look.
Isn't this Fang Minghua, vice chairman of the Qin Province Writers Association and editor-in-chief of Yanhe Magazine? !
Last winter, Fang Minghua was invited to participate in the poetry festival held by the Chengdu Xingxing Poetry Society and appeared in the Sichuan Daily. Tian Yanning saw his photo in the newspaper.
I didn't expect that Zhao Hongjun's friend turned out to be him!
"Let me introduce you to each other." Zhao Hongjun said with a smile: "This is Fang Minghua, vice chairman of the Qin Province Writers Association and editor-in-chief of Yanhe Magazine."
"This is Tian Yanning, a writer from the Daxian District Federation of Literary and Art Circles in Shu Province."
"Hello, Writer Tian." Fang Minghua took the initiative to shake hands with the other party.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Fang." Tian Yanning hurriedly greeted him.
"Writer Tian, I think you are a writer, and Minghua happens to be my friend, so I asked him to accompany me." Zhao Hongjun hurriedly explained the situation.
In front of Minghua, what kind of writer am I.
Tian Yanning muttered in his heart.
But think about it, it is really an honor to have a great writer like Minghua accompany me, but the stuff I wrote
Alas, it is a bit embarrassing to see people.
There are only three people, so there are not many dishes, and the wine is ordinary Xifeng wine. Zhao Hongjun is not good at drinking and he has to drive, so basically Fang Minghua and Tian Yanning are the only ones drinking.
People in Shu Province are also good at drinking, especially people like Tian Yanning who have lived in Daba Mountain. Like Jia Pingwa's hometown Shangluo, they also like to drink corn wine in the morning, so the two are a perfect match.
Once he drank the wine, Tian Yanning's initial restraint disappeared and he started to talk more.
"Writer Tian, I heard that you and Mr. Zhao's company are cooperating to publish a literary work. What's the name?" Fang Minghua asked with pretended concern.
"Hey, Editor Fang, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. It belongs to popular literature and is not worth mentioning at all." Tian Yanning was still a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
Unexpectedly, Fang Minghua's attitude was beyond his expectations.
"Writer Tian, what you said is wrong. Who said popular literature is not literature?!"
