Chapter 010: The Young Phoenix Desires to Sing Clearly

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Struggling to move his corpulent figure, Rogo shook his head. The mere presence of such disposition and attitude is sufficient to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of this young man. Whether this signature strip belongs to Jiang Jianmo is no longer of importance.

The more outstanding Yang Yi's performance is, the more pronounced this vigilance becomes

Rogo is a fat man

Yang nodded in gratitude, not overwhelmed with emotion, but simply expressing thanks, unaffected by the power of the man before her or the beauty of the girl beside her

Those who know him are well aware of his excessively pedantic nature. Not to mention ordinary wealthy or noble offspring, even the son of his direct superior may not be able to obtain a small note signed by him, let alone others who are unrelated.

This made Roguo's fondness for Yang Yi increasingly clear, and he immediately made a decision: "No problem at all! What about the contract? Let's sign it now!"

Additionally, could a portion of the manuscript fee be paid based on the number of copies printed in the first edition? This is ultimately Yang Yi's purpose in writing the book—to alleviate his mother's worries about that sponsorship fee

At this moment, the chubby Rogge has already begun his dream of dominating the summer book market, being particularly generous towards his newly acquired fortune.

Compared to this book, the historical interpretations of the past, while not entirely repugnant, are merely tasteless and trivial, so unappealing that they evoke no sense of closeness! How can such historical literature attract the common people, and how can it extract money from their pockets?

The youth chuckled in disbelief: "The Song Dynasty has lasted for over three hundred years, and where have I even written up to?"

I want this draft! The fat man is indeed very decisive, but he quickly followed up with the question: Is this draft really written by you?

However, he is also aware of his own difficulties. Although his career appears to be thriving and shows the potential of a rising star in the industry, it still lacks the depth and foundation compared to established entities like the Yuezhou People's Publishing House and the Yuezhou Literature and Art Publishing House. In certain cultural sectors, these qualities are particularly valued.

"I suppose so. The results of the high school entrance examination will be released soon. I estimate that I won't pass, as I am short by a sponsorship fee." Yang Yi's expression was quite calm.

However, he unexpectedly raised a daughter, and due to her parents' prolonged absence, this daughter became increasingly unpredictable in her personality. As a result, Jiang Jianmo became even more vigilant, fearing that some inappropriate stories might unfold concerning his daughter

However, once the concern for his daughter subsided, Jiang Jianmo, who came from a scholarly background, began to feel a sense of regret for Yang Yi—allowing this young man to remain at San Zhong seemed somewhat like watching a pearl become tarnished.

The fat man was suddenly overjoyed

Rogo's expression was somewhat peculiar; a child capable of producing such remarkable works, yet claiming that their scores in the high school entrance examination were insufficient, is likely a prodigy with a particular focus in certain subjects.

Jiang Nan was taken aback upon hearing this. The smile of the boy across from her was pure and bright, and his gaze held a unique depth that left her dazzled. Yet, she felt somewhat strange about her own state of mind; after all, it was just two speeches and the writing of a rather peculiar book. But why did she feel an inexplicable sadness when she heard him mention the lack of connection to No. 1 High School?

Have you and Nan Nan been classmates since middle school? How did you do in this year's high school entrance examination? Are you confident about getting into No. 1 High School or the Foreign Language School?

In 1997, at this time, the domestic book market had just begun to align with international standards, and the concept of bestsellers was gradually becoming clearer and more defined. It was precisely because of the discovery of several commercially viable books of relatively high quality that the publishing house gradually began to scale up.

yet it is different from the kind of worldly wisdom typical of seasoned individuals; it is merely a very pure essence

However, I have two small requests! Yang Yi deeply understands the principle of striking while the iron is hot. Some words, when spoken during others' moments of joy, have a vastly different effect than when spoken during their moments of displeasure.

Indeed, if it weren't for the chance encounter today, who would have known that there was a great writer hidden in our class? Jiang Nan smiled, her features picturesque, graceful and elegant! However, the message conveyed through her gaze was quite complex

Although Luo Ge is young, just over thirty, his perspective as a businessman who entered the field midway is indeed seasoned. Otherwise, he would not have managed to run a private publishing house to a considerable scale. Therefore, for him, as long as he takes a glance at the beginning, he can immediately assess whether a manuscript has potential and is worth publishing

Now, this book "The Song Dynasty" has provided its publisher with the capital to astonish the world like a phoenix rising from the ashes

Yang shook his head and smiled broadly, saying, "There is no chance for that now. My mathematics, physics, and chemistry are not good, so my total score will probably only allow me to enter the high school division of No. 3 Middle School. If it were not for the cost, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to publish this book."

But soon he will realize that it is not the case

However, Jiang Jianmo is a man, a man in a high position. Some of his words, being too straightforward, are somewhat inconsistent with his status. Therefore, the Secretary skillfully circled around the issue: "Xiao Yang, right? Since Nan Nan is willing to act as your intermediary, and you also have the capability, I cannot play the villain! I will give you a call shortly. He is the son of an old classmate of mine, and he has started his own publishing house. You can just go directly to him tomorrow."

This is just the first volume. If this collaboration is successful, the subsequent content will be entrusted to you! But are you really that confident in the manuscript? I have approached several publishers before. Yang Yi's words alleviated the awkwardness for Luo Ge, who had realized he had misspoken. This also caused the plump CEO to take another look at Yang Yi. This student is not very old, yet he possesses considerable poise! His manner of engaging with others is quite appropriate, and he has produced this remarkable work that can be considered a rare book. No wonder even someone as significant as Uncle Jiang would regard him with special attention. This also caused the plump CEO to take another look at Yang Yi.

Because even though the look of distrust in his eyes was fleeting, it was still keenly captured by the young man before him. However, he did not show the slightest displeasure at being doubted; instead, he smiled and suggested, "Why not make a phone call to prove it."

It is not that Rogo is overly suspicious; one can only blame Yang Yi's age, which is quite surprising. Rogo's statement was merely an unconscious reaction that did not involve much thought.

"We have always been classmates, but it seems that today is the first time we are actually speaking to each other." Yang Yi looked at Jiang Nan with some uncertainty. Regardless of whether this girl was gentle and amiable or rebellious and eccentric, in his previous life, he could only observe from a distance. However, now... He marveled at the wonders of fate; if one were to count the years before his rebirth, it would indeed be many years.

It is merely a popular science book on history, yet this young man is able to narrate it so compellingly. This style of writing history is filled with vitality and energy, with every word exuding a sense of spirit. These spirited phrases come together to form vibrant characters and captivating events.

This kid in front of m.hetushucom.com, I hope he didn't just randomly get a signature from some random cat or dog to deceive himself

If it were any other municipal party secretary, Luo Ge would not be so astonished, but with Jiang Jianmo, the Uncle Jiang who watched him grow up, it becomes somewhat incredible

At the confluence of life's streams, are they merely two small fish directed by fate towards different paths?

Suddenly reminded that my father was still by my side, I pretended to pout my painted lips and displayed a radiant smile: "Now you understand the drawbacks of having a narrow focus, right? I think you might as well stay at home and write books; who knows, you might really become a great writer in the future"

Although it was close to noon, the heavy clouds in the sky completely obscured Yuezhou, with only a faint light, as bright as the creation of the world, visible at the distant edge of the leaden clouds. This light slowly drifted across this beautiful land as the clouds continued to shift, until it slanted into the small courtyard where the publishing house was located

A good book, truly a good book! Since I entered the publishing industry, I have never seen such an outstanding manuscript.

"It is either occupying a position without merit or failing to recognize the valuable opportunities before you." Luo Ge snorted through his nose, but quickly realized the implication in Yang Yi's words: "Do you still have a draft?"

Rogo was taken aback by this remark: "Are you in a hurry for money?"

However, ever since he received the manuscript handed over by Yang Yi, he has been completely absorbed in it, ignoring everything happening outside, and spent an entire morning engrossed in reading, to the point that even the author, who was sitting nearby, could not get his attention despite repeated reminders

I have a designated illustrator, and all the illustrations for the first volume will be her works. Thinking of that girl who had lost her original colors under the pressure of life, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

It was not until just before lunchtime that Rogge reluctantly fiddled with the last page of the manuscript and the illustrations, and only after confirming that there were no more pages left did he click his tongue and sit up, seemingly quite dissatisfied with such a sudden conclusion

If Jiang Nan were a boy, Jiang Jianmo believed that he would certainly facilitate the publication of this manuscript, and he would also be pleased to see "him" and Yang Yi become friends. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, having a friend or mentor who can provide guidance is undoubtedly of great benefit, and Jiang Jianmo saw this ability and quality in Yang Yi.

Of course, similarly, Luo Ge, who was opposite Yang Yi, was also astonished. The young man before him actually came to the door with a signed note from the Secretary of the Municipal Committee!

Then let's review the manuscript

He must not escape; he must be kept firmly in our grasp

Just a few illustrations, not a problem! The fat man waved his hand dismissively, indicating that he did not care at all

It is truly astonishing to see someone so young become this overweight, which has left Yang Yi somewhat amazed

This kind of sky is generally a precursor to an impending shower, and thus the phoenix tree in the courtyard rustles. It is a rare and pleasant weather. Yang Yi sits in such a courtyard, smiling as he explains the reasons for his need for money. Unlike boys of his age, he does not exhibit that peculiar sensitivity of youthful pride, which often flares up like a fighting cock when discussing the family's difficulties and his own shortcomings

"Nonsense, even if one wants to write, it can be done as a hobby! Who advises their classmates not to attend school!" At this moment, Jiang Jianmo once again adopted the serious expressions of his father and elders, yet he felt much more at ease inside: "In fact, as long as one works hard and diligently, one can gain admission to a good university from any high school."

Just getting acquainted? Jiang Jianmo secretly pondered the authenticity of the words spoken by the two younger individuals, and casually remarked: "That's not a problem. In the future, when we all attend No. 1 High School, we will still be classmates, so we can help each other more!"
