"Dad, I've told you before that my cousin is unreliable. If you expect him to find a job for you, it's better for me to work hard on my own." Xiang Nan said again.
"Then if you stay in the city, what will happen to you?" Pi Changshan asked.
Hearing his question, Xie Guangkun's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Xiang Nan angrily.
Just now, his son's two questions made him speechless and breathless. Now, he was finally able to get back into the game.
"Yes, just living in a shabby house, eating steamed buns and pickles, do you think you have struggled?" He also asked.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly and took out a contract from the computer bag he carried, "This is the contract I just signed with Hujiang Culture Publishing House. My "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will be distributed by them. I have now got it Three hundred thousand yuan in advance royalties.”
"What?!" Xie Guangkun and Pi Changshan were all shocked when they heard what he said.
Xiang Nan smiled even happier when he saw it.
…
He went out today to discuss cooperation with people from Hujiang Culture Publishing House.
Since his "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was serialized in Tianya Forum and Lianpeng Ghost Stories section, it has attracted the attention of a large number of readers with its wonderful story, magnificent imagination, and distinctive characters.
Now the click rate has reached five million, and the number of replies has reached more than 200,000. All of them are urged by book friends to make updates and speculate on the plot below. In short, it is very popular.
Therefore, this book attracted the attention of many publishers and booksellers, who all contacted Xiang Nan to obtain its publishing rights.
After Xiang Nan went through the screening process, he selected Hujiang Culture Publishing House.
Firstly, this is a regular publishing house with a good reputation in the industry; secondly, the terms of its offer are also very good, with an advance royalty of 300,000 yuan.
Moreover, Xiang Nan will also receive 10% royalties after future releases. This is already a very good ratio for a new writer like him.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he signed the contract and received the first royalties, Xie Guangkun and Pi Changshan came to his door.
…
"Yongqiang, can you still write?" Pi Changshan asked in surprise.
"Earned three hundred thousand?!" Xie Guangkun also looked in disbelief.
"That's right." Xiang Nan nodded and took out the passbook, "If you don't believe it, take a look, the money has already been transferred to my card."
Xie Guangkun and Pi Changshan curiously took the passbook and took a look at it. They saw that the passbook was indeed in Yongqiang's name, and there was indeed a deposit of 300,000 yuan on it.
"..." Seeing so much money, Xie Guangkun and Pi Changshan were breathing heavily for a while.
"This is real?!"
"That's so much money!"
Both of them couldn't help but murmur to themselves.
"You must believe me now," Xiang Nan said with a smile, "If I went home as soon as I graduated, I wouldn't have such a quiet creative environment. Just work and blind dates would bore me to death.
Moreover, the article hates life. I have good food and good accommodation at home, but my fighting spirit has been drained away. How can it be compared to working hard and working hard here. "
"That makes sense." Pi Changshan nodded after hearing this.
"Oh, Yongqiang, dad will be relieved knowing that you are not a bad learner." Xie Guangkun smiled, "Okay, I will put this passbook away for you and keep it for you to marry your wife in the future."
"Okay, just keep it." Xiang Nan said nonchalantly.
He was holding a passbook, and without the password, he couldn't withdraw the money at all. And I have a bank card in my hand, and I can withdraw money at any time.
"Hey." Upon hearing this, Xie Guangkun happily put away his bankbook.
Three hundred thousand, enough for him to sell a lot of mountain goods. He worked hard all his life and only saved tens of thousands of yuan. What a great son, he made three hundred thousand in just over a month.
This is really the wave behind the Yangtze River urging the wave ahead, and it is very promising.
Pi Changshan saw him put away the bankbook eagerly, and his eyes almost burst with envy.
…
"Yongqiang, since you have made money now, then come back with us." Pi Changshan said again.
"Okay, I originally wanted to go back." Xiang Nan nodded and then simply packed his luggage.
"Yeah, you bought these hazelnuts yourself. The quality is pretty good." Xie Guangkun suffered from an occupational disease as soon as he saw those wild products.
"Xiao Meng sent it to me." Xiang Nan explained.
Xiao Meng gave these mountain products, including melons, hazelnuts, pine nuts, walnuts... all showing traces of picking. The melons are big and healthy; the hazelnuts and pine nuts don’t have any bad kernels...
He could imagine how carefully Xiao Meng selected the best when preparing these things for him. A good girl like this really shouldn't be let down.
"Her?! How did she know you live here? Why did she give you something?" Xie Guangkun asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Dad, I like Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng also likes me. We have been dating for five years and are going to get married soon." Xiang Nan explained.
"What?! Marry her? No way." When Xie Guangkun heard this, he immediately exploded.
If Yongqiang didn't get his diploma and couldn't go to the city and could only stay in the village to farm, then marrying Wang Xiaomeng would be okay.
But Yongqiang not only has a diploma, but also earns 300,000 yuan. Is she, Wang Xiaomeng, worthy of being so promising? ! I want to eat shit!
"Dad, the reason why you object is because Lao Wang's family is poor and they are not officials." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Didn't the incident about Xiang Xiu teach you a big lesson?
When marrying a wife, it’s useless to just look at whether you have money or not, whether you have power or not. You also have to look at human nature and moral character. Xiaomeng's character is very good.
When I lived here, both she and Xiangxiu came to visit me. Xiangxiu only had a face-to-face meeting, and she came with Li Daguo. I lied to her that I didn't have a diploma and couldn't go to the county town, and she left immediately without looking back.
However, Xiaomeng brought me these things to eat and use. She doesn't dislike me for having no money, nor does she dislike me for being down and out. She even wants to stay and suffer with me.
Isn't such a good girl worth cherishing? Why can't I marry her? ! "
When Pi Changshan heard what he said, he couldn't help but nodded and agreed with Yongqiang's statement.
As has been said since ancient times, marry a virtuous wife. Marrying a wife still depends on her character.
"Little bastard, are you trying to teach me a lesson? Who is the father and who is the son?" When Xie Guangkun heard this, he glared.
He simply couldn't listen to Yongqiang's words.
"Dad, if you are unreasonable, then I will have nothing to say to you." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "I'm leaving, and you don't want to look for me in the future."
"Little bastard, you still dare to run, let me see where you are going?" Upon hearing this, Xie Guangkun stepped forward to fight again.
"Father, just give in. If Yongqiang really leaves, it will be difficult to find him again." Pi Changshan quickly grabbed him and persuaded him, "He is rich now and can go to the ends of the world. You He can’t be restrained.”
