Rebirth: Recovering My Treasure Girl

Inside Hengzhou Railway Station.

Chen Yang sent Gu Mei to the ticket gate of the waiting hall, and then stopped.

Gu Mei also stopped, turned around and said, "Classmate Chen Yang, I will take your manuscript back. Don't worry, I will send you the signing contract as soon as possible when we return to Shencheng after the meeting. "

Chen Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Editor-in-Chief Gu!"

Gu Mei also nodded and smiled at Chen Yang, then put on her sunglasses, pushed her suitcase forward to check in, and walked into the waiting hall.

Chen Yang waited for Gu Mei to gradually walk away, then turned around and left.

As soon as he walked out of the waiting hall, Chen Yang felt the BP machine vibrating in his trouser pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was Jenny Wu who was looking for him.

Chen Yang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, thinking that this Jenny Wu was too anxious.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yang found a public phone in a small shop next to the station square and dialed Jenny Wu’s mobile phone.

"Hey, Chen Yang, is that you?"

As soon as the call was connected, Jenny Wu’s voice came from the receiver.

"What do you want from me?" Chen Yang asked nonchalantly.

Of course Chen Yang knew why Jenny Wu was looking for him, so asking her was a bit tempting.

Jenny Wu immediately asked: "Why do you think I want to see you? Stop pretending to be stupid with me!"

Chen Yang was happy when he heard it.

Jenny Wu said anxiously: "Okay, don't be silly! Tell me quickly, did you see anyone? How was your chat?"

Chen Yang smiled and said: "It was a good chat! I just sent him to the station, and I got a page from you when I came out. You were also very accurate at this time."

Seeing that her call came at the right time, Jenny Wu felt very happy.

"Has the contract been negotiated? How much is the royalties?" Jenny Wu asked the question that concerned her most.

Chen Yang did not sell it, and said truthfully: "We have negotiated, and the manuscript has been given to Editor Gu, and I have been given 700 words per thousand."

"700 for a thousand words?" Jenny Wu's voice immediately became louder, looking very surprised.

Immediately afterwards, Jenny Wu said happily: "That's great! If you pay 700 yuan for a thousand words, you can get nearly 7 yuan in royalties for 5 words... That's okay, Chen Yang, you actually made money in one go So much money!”

Chen Yang smiled and said: "Actually, my ideal price is 800 per thousand words, but after thinking about it carefully, I am a newcomer after all, and I have no historical achievements, so I can't raise the asking price for the time being."

Jenny Wu immediately said: “Don’t be too greedy. I think 700 per thousand words is already very good. Zhou Lin and I also talked before. We thought 600 per thousand words was very fair. Unexpectedly, it is now 100 more. It’s beyond expectations, haha!”

When Chen Yang heard this, he pretended to be unhappy and said: "Hey! You two underestimate me too much. I am also the first prize winner in the city's composition competition, okay?"

“Hey, you’re so thick-skinned when you say you’re fat and you’re breathless!” Jenny Wu said in disgust.

Later, Jenny Wu asked Chen Yang some questions.

For example, when will the contract be signed, how soon will it be published in "Century Youth" magazine, how will the royalties be settled, should it be paid in one lump sum or in installments, etc...

Chen Yang patiently answered them one by one.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang wanted to pay and leave, but he hesitated and called Zhou Lin.

But after waiting for more than ten minutes after calling the page, Zhou Lin didn't call back.

Although Chen Yang was a little disappointed, he did not feel resentful because he knew that it would be inconvenient for Zhou Lin to return his call at the moment.

After Chen Yang paid the money, he turned around and prepared to go home, but after walking a few steps, he turned back.

"Boss, I'll make another call."

Chen Yang spoke to his boss and then dialed Jenny Wu’s mobile phone.

"Hey, Jenny Wu, it's me." Chen Yang said.

"Chen Yang? Why are you still at the train station?" Jenny Wu couldn't help but be confused when she saw that the caller number was still the same as before.

Chen Yang did not answer, but said in a serious tone: "Jenny Wu, can you do me a favor? If you talk to Zhou Lin on the phone in the past two days, remember to tell her that I have signed a contract."

Jenny Wu said: "I know this. I called Zhou Lin's house just now, but no one answered..."

"Then I called her pager again, but she hasn't called me back yet. She probably didn't see her."

Chen Yang responded, and then said: "Okay, I'll leave it at that. I won't talk about it anymore. I'm hanging up."

Chen Yang hung up the phone and paid the boss another dollar, then strode to the bus stop.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Yang boarded the bus, the public phone in the small shop rang.

The boss slowly walked over and picked up the receiver, and said in a rather lazy voice: "Hey, who is it?"

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Hello, someone called my pager just now? Could you please call him?"

The speaker was a girl, with a very soft and beautiful voice.

The boss said: "That person has left. It's too late for you to call me back."

The girl who called was Zhou Lin.

She had been chatting with her grandparents just now, and she didn't have her bag on her, so she didn't know anyone was calling her.

By the time she saw it, it was too late to call back.

When Zhou Lin saw the pager, there were two numbers on it, one was Jenny Wu’s mobile phone number, and the other was an unfamiliar landline number.

Zhou Lin did not hesitate to call the unknown number first, because she had a strong hunch that the number must be Chen Yang.

Although she had already guessed that the call was from Chen Yang, Zhou Lin couldn't help but ask the boss about the other person's appearance.

The boss only described it in two sentences, and Zhou Lin was already sure that that person was Chen Yang!

Before hanging up the phone, Zhou Lin was still a little unwilling to give up, so she said to the boss: "Well... could you please help me see if my friend is still nearby?"

The boss glanced outside the store perfunctorily and replied: "No, no!"

After saying that, the boss hung up the phone unceremoniously.

.........................................

At the same time, at Jenny Wu’s home.

In the room, when Jenny Wu was thinking about whether to page Zhou Lin again, the cell phone on the bedside suddenly rang.

Jenny Wu hurried over and answered the phone.

“Hey, Jenny, it’s me.” Zhou Lin’s voice reached Jenny Wu’s ears.

When Jenny Wu heard that it was Zhou Lin, she immediately complained: "Hey, why did it take you so long to call back? The flowers I've been waiting for are almost gone, okay!"

Zhou Lin quickly expressed her apology, and then asked: "Jenny, did Chen Yang call you just now?"

Jenny Wu replied: "Hit me!"

"How's it going? Has he signed a contract for his novel? How was his chat with Aunt Gu?" Zhou Lin asked with concern.

Jenny Wu was just about to tell the truth, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind and deliberately sighed in a low tone: "Alas!"

When Zhou Lin heard Wu Jenny sighing, her heart immediately rose, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong, Jenny? Why are you sighing? Didn't Chen Yang's submission... not be negotiated?"

"How do you say this..." Although Jenny Wu continued to act, she was obviously holding back a smile on her face.

Zhou Lin suddenly became even more anxious: "Jenny, tell me quickly! What's going on?"

Next, Jenny Wu deliberately hesitated for a while, until it felt like Zhou Lin was about to cry, and then Jenny Wu suddenly burst out laughing.

Just when Zhou Lin looked confused, Jenny Wu's cheerful voice came into her ears: "Don't worry, Chen Yang has already reached an agreement with Chen Yang. The manuscript fee is 700 yuan per thousand words, and the serialization will start next month. !”

"Really? That's great. 700 words for a thousand words is great!" Zhou Lin was overjoyed.

At this moment, her mood was like riding a rocket, rising from the bottom of the valley to the moon in an instant.
