Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 49
In Guangshi, Director Li had checked his email more than once to see if there was a reply. But seeing there was none, Director Li couldn’t help but ask Bao.
The editor-in-chief complained, “What’s wrong with this Ning Meng? She left her email address but didn’t reply to it, nor made phone calls.”
He paced back and forth anxiously in the office. “Have you sent her a sample of this issue?”
Editor Bao nodded.
“Do you have a reply from her?” Director Li asked.
“No.”
Ning Meng sent them a manuscript of 45,000 words. Even if they saved some money and published 15,000 words in one issue, that manuscript was only enough to publish three issues.
Ning Meng’s new manuscript had not yet been received, and they couldn’t find her. If they publish it but couldn’t continue the story in the magazine, it would be troublesome.
However, their manuscript fees were paid at the same time at the end of the month. Ning Meng couldn’t know the status of the manuscript through the manuscript fee. He really did not want to reduce the number of manuscripts published. He just wanted to take advantage of the current popularity of that novel and Justice Bao at that time. The popularity of it should be increased, so that the novel would continue to grow and drive the sales of Wuxia.
Once Justice Bao’s TV series ends and the popularity of the Song Dynasty stories vanishes, it would be difficult to increase the popularity in the future.
“In this way, you ask Wang Yong to go find Ning Meng as soon as possible. After finding her, ask him not to come back for the time being. He can rent a house near Ning Meng’s house or find a guest house to stay, specifically to urge Ning Meng to write the manuscript. Tell him to send it over as soon as she finishes writing it.” Ning Meng herself was really frightened every time she sent some manuscripts.
In fact, Ning Meng was already the fastest and most diligent writer in their magazine. She sent tens of thousands of manuscripts every time, but it was really not worth the expense.
They all estimated that Ning Meng was a high school teacher, and school was about to start. They were really afraid that Ning Meng would not have time to write.
Unless she was a PE teacher.
Wang Yong, who received the boss’s business trip arrangement, asked Director Li, “Director, do you want Ning Meng’s royalties to be increased?”
Some of the old authors of their magazine were paid 100, 150, or even 400 per thousand words, which was really low compared to the popularity that Wuxia magazine had generated in the past few issues.
Director Li thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait until the total monthly sales volume of the third period is fully calculated.”
Wang Yong didn’t waste any time after receiving the instructions from his leader. He immediately packed his bags and rushed to Wucheng by train.
Wucheng was still a county at that time, and the high-speed rail station had not yet been established. Wang Yong had to take a train to a neighboring city and then travel to Wucheng. It was a journey of more than thirteen hundred kilometers. Wang Yong saw along the way their magazine getting sold like hotcakes at the train station.
Taking his work permit and magazine sample, he went to the doorman of Wucheng No. 1 High School according to the address left by Jiang Ning, and asked the doorman, “Hello, I’m here to see Teacher Jiang Ning.”
“Who?” The guard asked Wang Yong with a puzzled look on his face.
Wang Yong thought the guard’s ears had issues, so he leaned close to his ear and shouted, “Teacher Jiang Ning.”
The guard waved his hand and said, “I don’t think I know anyone by that name.”
Wang Yong thought the uncle couldn’t hear clearly, so he shouted in the guard’s ear at the top of his voice, “Sir, I’m looking for Teacher Jiang Ning.”
The guard uncle also thought the young man had bad ears at a young age, so he shouted loudly, waved his hands, and replied word by word, “There is no such person here.”
Wang Yong became anxious, picked up the pen attached to the guard’s registration form, and wrote “Teacher Jiang Ning “.
“I don’t know her.” The guard waved his hand, “You’re looking for the wrong person. We don’t have this kind of person here.”
Wang Yong stood outside the gate of Wucheng No. 1 High School, looking at the gate above the iron gate. “Wucheng No. 1 High School” was clearly written on the gate. Then he looked at the envelope in his hand and thought that it was right.
Was there something wrong with his accent?
As a native of Guangzhou, Wang Yong still had some doubts about his accent even though he graduated from the School of Communication. After all, there was still a big difference between their Guangzhou dialect and Mandarin.
Coupled with the old man’s obvious local accent, he was afraid he had misheard or failed to understand what the old man meant. He wanted to wait for a student to come out and ask, but he didn’t know this high school was actually a closed management system. Except during breakfast and dinner time, students would only come through the big iron gate to buy some food. Usually, there were only some local students who entered the school very early to study early.
There were morning reading classes and evening self-study classes in the second and third grades of high school. The evening self-study class lasted until 9:30 p.m., and the freshmen had to stand in military posture after school.
Yes, Jiang Ning’s week-long military training had begun.
On the first day, they basically practiced standing in military posture and turning left and right. Jiang Ning was also called to the flag-raising platform on the first day because of her good military posture. Facing the blazing sunshine, she stood high. She was exposed to the scorching sun on a hot cement platform for two hours without any shade and felt like crying without any tears.
Wasn’t she a team leader before she was reborn? She must always pay attention to her image, especially as she was a pretty female leader. Female leaders who were a little bit pretty and rose quickly in the system would usually dress themselves in a mature and steady way, and their temperament was even more serious.
Fortunately, she was promoted all the way, and there were no bad rumors. Who didn’t know that she was promoted quickly because of her good flattery, and she was the confidant of the big boss?
She was used to pretending at work, but when it came to military training, she couldn’t help but show extreme seriousness. Every move she made was as standard as if she had been measured by a ruler. She was immediately noticed by the platoon leader of her platoon and was taken out as a pacesetter to look like a soldier.
Then the chief instructor also saw her, a thin and small girl, with a more standard military posture than the boys, and she was brought onto the flag-raising platform that was heated by the sun.
