Chapter 113 Serial Novel

Those students were talking about a serial novel they had recently followed. The novel was published in the Ming Pao newspaper in Hong Kong, and the leading classmate was holding the newspaper he just bought today.

In the era before the Internet, novels were usually serialized in newspapers, and martial arts novels were especially popular.

For example, Jin Yong first wrote "The Book of Swords and Enmities" and it was serialized in the "New Evening News", and his later work "The Deer and the Cauldron" was serialized in the Ming Pao.

Jin Yong, Gu Long, Wen Ruian, Ni Ji... are all popular novel authors during this period.

Jiang Yao was engaged in commercial real estate planning in later generations. He was good at writing and also liked reading novels in his spare time. If he could make money by writing serialized novels, it seemed to be a good way.

There is no delay in learning or making money.

Jiang Yao was a little moved. She stepped forward and said, "Classmate, can I read the newspaper in your hand?"

The classmates who were talking stopped and cast curious eyes on Jiang Yao.

When did the school have such a beautiful female classmate? How come they didn’t know about it?

The leading classmate generously handed the newspaper to Jiang Yao: "Classmate, which department are you from? I am a sophomore in the Department of Finance. My name is Xu Mingxia."

By the way, he also introduced the two classmates next to him: "This is Zhou Meiyi, and she is Ma Jiaqi. We are both in the same department."

Jiang Yao took the newspaper and smiled at the people: "Hello, I am also a sophomore in the Department of Finance, but I just joined the class. My name is Jiang Yao."

It turned out that she had just joined the class. No wonder she had never seen her in school before. Xu Mingxia understood. Seeing that Jiang Yao was interested in the serial novels in the newspaper, she said enthusiastically:

"You also like to read Wen Rui'an's "The Wonderful Heroes of China". Several of us have been following this novel recently. Following the serialization is too torturous. We look forward to the next day's plot every day. Every day at the end of the day You also have to go to the newsstand in front of the school to grab newspapers, and if you get there late, you have to take a bus to a farther place to buy them."

Jiang Yao didn't know much about novels of this era. "I didn't pursue this novel. I just wanted to see how to publish novels in newspapers and earn some royalties."

Speaking of this, Xu Mingxia also had something to talk about: "Wow, it turns out you want to publish a novel. You've asked the right person. My cousin loves to write novels. She didn't even look for a job after graduating from high school. She just thought about writing at home every day. I want to become the second Yi Shu in Xiangjiang. She just collected the submission addresses of major newspapers and magazines. I will copy them for you when I get home this week."

That's good, Jiang Yao said with a smile, "Thank you then. Are you going to eat now? How about we come together and chat while eating."

After all, Jiang Yao had worked as a social animal in later generations, and interpersonal communication came easily to Jiang Yao.

"Okay, let's go together." Xu Mingxia and others also felt that they were in love with Jiang Yao. After all, they rarely saw such a beautiful woman up close, so they immediately agreed.

School canteen.

After preparing the food, Jiang Yao and Xu Mingxia sat down with their plates.

After tasting a few bites of the dishes, Jiang Yao couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, no matter what era, the food in the cafeteria is of the same standard - it's tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away.

She picked up the vegetables and ate a few bites without interest. She was left with a huge fried chicken leg, which was really unappetizing.

Seeing that she was not interested in chicken legs, Xu Mingxia asked, "You don't like fried food?"

Several people bought different types of set meals, and Jiang Yao's chicken drumsticks came with the set meal.

Seeing that the other party looked at the chicken drumsticks on the plate several times, Jiang Yao pushed the plate over: "My stomach is not very good and I can't eat anything too greasy. How about you help me solve it?"

When Xu Mingxia heard this, she immediately stepped over happily: "Hey, I'm not welcome then."

While she was eating chicken drumsticks, Jiang Yao asked her, "By the way, do you know how royalties are calculated in newspapers?"
