Chapter 1821 is not too optimistic
He wears a pair of glasses, is thin and looks about forty years old, and has a bit of literary style.
"Miss Chu, please take a seat!" Qin Huang personally poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Chu Ning.
"Thank you. Editor-in-chief Qin, you must have read the manuscript I handed you, so you invited me over in person. I wonder what editor-in-chief Qin thinks of my novel?" Chu Ning said with a smile.
Qin Huang clapped his hands and smiled and said, "It's very well written! At the time, when I read it, I felt that the sentence was beautiful, fresh and moving, with a bit of quietness that was not available in this era, and it felt like the kind of love that only existed many years ago. The texture is completely different from the current impetuousness.”
Qin Huang is indeed very professional. This was originally written by Ning Wan, so of course there will be the same feeling many years ago.
He looked at Chu Ning, saw her graceful temperament, like a freshman college girl, and asked, "Miss Chu, forgive me, have you published novels before?"
"Not at all, this is the first time. To tell the editor-in-chief Qin, this manuscript was actually written by my deceased mother. I just did the polishing work and perfected the latter half, so it's not my own. I wrote it. When my mother was alive, she had no chance to develop her hobby. Now I have found her posthumous manuscript. In order to fulfill her final wish, I will submit it to your society. "
Qin Huang was more and more satisfied with Chu Ning's temperament and style, and said with a smile, "I plan to publish this book. Although you don't have much fame, the content comes first, and things like fame will always come in the future. . Next, let's look at the contract."
He handed over the contract.
Chu Ning took it over. She didn't know much about this line of work, but Shen Jingyu had asked a professional lawyer to explain some basic knowledge to her before, and she was still able to understand the terminology in the contract.
"Editor-in-chief Qin, this is a 10% royalty. It means that a supplementary agreement is signed each time before printing, right?" Chu Ning asked with a smile.
"Yes, Miss Chu, ten percent of the royalties is already quite high. Before we gave newcomers five percent, it is already very impressive to give seven percent. Presumably you should too. understood."
"I understand." Chu Ning knew that what he said was not a lie.
She continued to look down at the other terms.
Qin Huang received a call, stood up, and said, "Sorry."
He went out to answer the phone, and when he heard the words on the phone, he showed a hint of surprise.
Chuning read the entire contract and found that there was basically no problem.
Thinking that Ning Wan's novel could be published, but her lifelong wish was fulfilled, Ning Wan's soft and gentle face appeared in front of Chu Ning's eyes again.
Qin Huang answered the phone and came back, Chu Ning smiled: "Editor Qin, I think there is no problem. If there is no problem on your side, let's sign it."
Qin Huang showed a hint of imperceptible resistance, and said apologetically, "Miss Chu, I'm sorry we can't sign this contract."
"Why?" Chu Ning read the contract in detail, and there is no problem. According to Qin Huang's attitude just now, neither side has any opinions.
Qin Huang took the contract back, "Miss Chu, the physical novel market is not very good now, and our attitude towards this market has always been not optimistic. So we do not plan to continue publishing your book. However, We can..."
