Chapter 267: The royalties have arrived, so that’s how it is

Shi Qinghuan's life was particularly peaceful in the next few days. Apart from going to work step by step every day, he was writing stories at home.

It's just that there's no movement at all on the manuscript she submitted. Logically speaking, her manuscript should be approved. There's no way there's still no movement yet. Could it be that she wrote something that she shouldn't have written?

Shi Qinghuan thought about it for a while but couldn't figure out what she had written that she shouldn't have written, so she simply didn't think about it. She didn't expect the royalties to support herself anyway, so she just let it go.

At worst, she could just switch to another newspaper to submit her article.

"Button, button, button... button, button, button..."

When Shi Qinghuan put down her pen and took a nap, she heard a knock on the door, so she got up and went to the living room to open the door.

When she opened the door, she saw a familiar face, so she asked him: "Is there my package again?"

"without."

"Then you are here today..."

"I'm here to deliver you a letter and a money order."

Shi Qinghuan's eyes immediately lit up after hearing the postman's words. She said how could the story she wrote fail to be published?

So she quickly said to the postman: "Show me the remittance slip quickly."

After hearing what Shi Qinghuan said, the postman took out the remittance slip from his bag and handed it to Shi Qinghuan, and then said: "You are the person who pays the most for manuscripts I have ever seen. You are so awesome."

"Thank you for the compliment." After Shi Qinghuan finished speaking, he took the remittance slip handed to her by the postman and read it quickly.

When she saw "Five Shi Yuan" written in capital letters, her heart skipped a beat. At the same time, she understood why the postman said that, because her royalties were ridiculously high.

If she remembered correctly, Li Qingyu told him before that his manuscript fee was two yuan per thousand words, but hers was directly up to five yuan per thousand words.

This is simply outrageous. Opening the door to his mother is outrageous.

"Comrade, are you okay?" Seeing Shi Qing smiling like a fool, the postman hurriedly asked Shi Qinghuan.

"It's okay. I'm fine. Please give me the letter."

After hearing what Shi Qinghuan said, the postman immediately took out Shi Qinghuan's letter from his bag and handed it to Shi Qinghuan. Then he reminded Shi Qinghuan to go to the post office on time to collect the manuscript fee, and left Shi Qinghuan quickly. Home, head downstairs.

After Shi Qinghuan watched the postman leave, she closed the door and happily walked towards the room holding the letter and remittance slip.

When she entered the room, she put the money order in a drawer and began to open the letter.

After she opened the envelope, she found that there was not only a letter but also a newspaper in the envelope. It seemed that the newspaper office had only sent her the letter and remittance order after her story was published, otherwise there would be no newspaper in the envelope.

But why do they do this?

Shi Qinghuan thought for a while and didn't understand. She simply didn't think about it and picked up the letter and read it.

After she read the letter, she understood why the newspaper had waited for the story to be published before sending her the letter and remittance order. It turned out that it was because her story was so well written that they could not pay her the final fee.

So they simply published the story first to see how the public reacted. If the public reacted enthusiastically, the royalties would be set at a high level. If the public reacted only mediocrely, the royalties would be based on the normal pricing.

Apparently her fifty-dollar royalties proved that her story sparked an enthusiastic response from the crowd.

It seems that she will receive a large amount of royalties in the next few months, which feels really great.
