This issue of "Contemporary" is very popular, and the discussion of spy and suspense themes has also reached a new level.
Apart from the extra royalties, it has nothing to do with Jiang Yulou for the time being.
Oh, I can’t say there aren’t any at all, but there are a few more red-eyed wolves in the dormitory.
Xu Xiangdong said angrily: "What a red-eyed wolf, don't think of us so badly, okay?"
Jiang Yulou glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "Oh, really, who is it that persuades me to treat guests to dinner these days?"
"We are happy for you and celebrating you. Don't think wrongly." Wei Guoping argued.
Jiang Yulou scoffed at what they said and didn't believe it. "If you really want to celebrate me, you should be the one to treat me."
Yu Min pushed up his glasses and smiled honestly, "Isn't it because we are poor? How can a great writer like you be rich?"
Jiang Yulou said sadly: "Lao Yu, you have fallen. Where did you go when you were innocent? I have told you long ago that you should be vigilant enough towards Lao Wei and Lao Xu. It's better now. You have been led astray." .”
Yu Min said: "Yes, yes, I am red if you are close to vermilion, and black if you are close to ink."
Jiang Yulou: "..."
Why does this sound awkward?
Jiang Yulou had no choice but to take out his wallet, looked at the balance, and said, "Okay, I will be merciful today and treat it as having fun with the people."
"Long live!"
After Jiang Yulou put on his clothes, he walked out of the dormitory. The rest of the people followed him closely, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
At first, Wei Guoping and the three of them were very happy. After all, they had killed a wealthy man again, which somewhat relieved the envy and jealousy in their hearts. But soon, they couldn't be happy anymore.
Wei Guoping couldn't help but said: "I mean Yulou, are we going the wrong way? This is not the way to go outside the school."
Jiang Yulou looked confused: "You're right, take this road to the canteen."
Xu Xiangdong was shocked and said: "You are talking about treating guests to the canteen?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Yulou asked.
Yu Min, who has always been honest, couldn't help but said: "A dog is still your dog."
"What? Everyone has lived a hard life. When did the food in the cafeteria stop being food?" Jiang Yulou said plausibly.
Several people were speechless. After all, what he said couldn't be said to be wrong, but... why eat in the canteen when you can have a big meal outside?
Wei Guoping looked at him fiercely, "Damn, even if we eat in the cafeteria, we will make you cry!"
Finally, the four people in the dormitory walked out of the cafeteria after eating. Except for Jiang Yulou, the other three people were rubbing their stomachs and looking uncomfortable.
As a result, even if they ordered all the meat and vegetables, Jiang Yulou only spent more than one yuan, which was a drizzle.
Xu Xiangdong said angrily: "Yulou, you are too stingy. After making so much money, you ended up inviting your brothers to eat in the canteen."
"The food in the cafeteria is good, affordable and plentiful. The most important thing is that it is healthy and tastes good." Jiang Yulou said disapprovingly.
Yu Min said quietly: "But we want to eat Dong Laishun, Lao Mo or Xin Qiao."
Jiang Yulou said: "You are not a householder and don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Even though I am rich, I still have to support a large family. Don't you think so, Lao Wei?"
"Hey, Lao Wei, what does Yulou mean?" Xu Xiangdong asked.
"Look at my memory." Wei Guoping patted his head and explained: "Didn't Yulou buy a courtyard house..."
He told the story again, and then Xu Xiangdong and Yu Min looked at him with even more resentful expressions.
Xu Xiangdong looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh, the sky is unfair."
Jiang Yulou, also a college student at Yan University and the proud son of heaven, has had a smooth journey. However, although he has a reputation as a genius in the class, he is far worse than Jiang Yulou.
"Bah!" Jiang Yulou spat, and then said proudly: "Obviously God has eyes."
Xu Xiangdong: "..."
Someone's shamelessness is amazing.
Yu Min squinted his eyes and suddenly realized the breakthrough, and said quickly: "This is considered a housewarming celebration for you, shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"
Wei Guoping's eyes lit up and he echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, it is unjustifiable not to invite you to this meal."
"Let's wait for a while, wait until I have settled down at home." Jiang Yulou did not refuse this time, but touched his chin and said.
With this promise, the three of them felt much more balanced, and their eyes communicated frequently, seeming to be hinting something to each other.
…
The contemporary editorial department was undoubtedly very accurate in judging that the first 150,000 copies printed could not last for a week, but their choice to print an additional 100,000 copies was still too conservative.
Because with the increasing number of reviews of "The Conspiracy", this novel has a tendency to break the circle. A mere 100,000 copies were sold out in less than a week.
As a result, the phone numbers of the Contemporary Editorial Department were being called again by bookstores and post offices.
Although the editors were bombarded with phone calls, nothing could be more wonderful than the first issue of "Contemporary" in 1980, which got off to a good start.
They prefer this feeling of pain and happiness compared to the slump in magazine sales.
What goes without saying is that customer needs must be met. Director Qin waved his hand and decided to print another 100,000 copies. In less than a month, there were two consecutive printings. I dare not say it is unique, but it is also very rare.
However, despite the surge in sales, there is still a small problem that bothers the editorial department.
To this end, the contemporary editorial department also specially attended the meeting to discuss.
The meeting was chaired by Qin Zhaoyang.
"Comrades, we have achieved very good results in the first issue of this year, and our superiors have also spoken highly of our achievements. Of course, these are all inseparable from the efforts of our comrades..."
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa."
The conference room burst into applause.
The editors all beamed when they heard the leader's praise. I am also proud of the good results achieved by the magazine.
"But, now we have a difficult problem before us." Qin Zhaoyang picked up a letter from the table and continued: "This letter is a letter from a reader. The letter praises our magazine, but it has a request. That is, I hope that the novel "The Conspiracy" will be published in a single book. Moreover, this is not an isolated case, on the contrary, it accounts for many letters."
The conference room fell silent instantly.
Publish a single volume. Currently, "Contemporary" has published many issues, and sales are increasing. However, there has never been a single issue where readers requested a single volume of a work.
You know, there have been many famous writers among them.
This, this, is Jiang Yulou setting a precedent?
It's just that it's not easy to set a precedent.
Although the magazine is selling well now, it seems unreasonable to say that it is all due to Jiang Yulou's novel.
Furthermore, the cost of issuing a single book is not small. If you do not do well, you will lose money.
