Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 94
Because Director Li wanted to open up the northern market, the publishing house wanted to take advantage of Justice Bao’s popularity. After receiving the contract from Jiang Ning, he first gave 30% of the manuscript fee to Jiang Ning, and had to wait until the book was released to give her the remaining 70%.
Although the amount of money was not as much as Catcher in Song Dynasty’s royalties for serializing in Wuxia, it did relieve Jiang Ning’s temporary anxiety.
It was just that she was locked up in school and couldn’t get out. She had not updated her bankbook, but knowing that the money had been transferred, Jiang Ning got confident.
Soon, the remaining manuscript fees were transferred from the publishing house, along with a thousand books sent by it.
Her signature was required.
The reason why Catcher in Song Dynasty was listed so quickly was because both the magazine and the publishing house were making every effort to promote the publication of Catcher in Song Dynasty.
Because the magazine would proofread every time it was serialized, the publishing house needed not work on proofreading. After only one proofreading, they found their cooperating artist to draw the cover, and then sent it to the printer in full swing. The factory started printing.
It was still easy to apply for ISBN at the time, and it was to be applied soon.
The first volume of the published book had been completed.
Jiang Ning had to attend classes, study, and submit 30,000-word manuscripts to magazines every week. On top of that, she needed to sign a thousand books, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Before the books arrived, Jiang Ning asked Wang Yong to go to No. 4 High School to see if there was a stamp engraving store. If there wasn’t, was there a teacher who could engrave seals and would be willing to take over the job? She wanted to engrave a few seals.
Having Wang Yong here really saved her a lot of things.
Not to mention anything else, just because No. 1 High School prohibited non-day students from leaving the school except on weekends, Jiang Ning was restricted and couldn’t do many things.
While Wang Yong was going to help Jiang Ning with the seal engraving, he was also helping her find a store, and was also helping her contact the sources of goods in Guangzhou and Shenzhen markets.
There was a shoe factory near his uncle’s factory, and he and his uncle knew them well. As long as they received the money, they could send the goods to Jiang Ning.
Wang Yong told his uncle that the person who needed supplies was the only author he had, and it was related to whether his future compilation could be successful. His uncle immediately became concerned about the matter and said that if she needed clothes he could also send her clothes. “Don’t worry, I will definitely send her clothes of new styles and good quality.”
The problem was that Wang Yong had not seen any stores for rent or transfer near the school. He asked her if it was possible to get one farther away, but Jiang Ning insisted on one near the school.
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t find one. It doesn’t matter if we need to wait. I don’t want it right away. Keep an eye if there is any store by the end of the year.”
Jiang Ning was worried about Grandpa Jiang living alone. Working alone as a ranger, if he fell or something, others may not even notice. That was one of the reasons why she did not want him to do mountain patrol work anymore.
She said, “There is no need for one to be in the street in No. 4 High School.” She looked at the street in No. 1 High School where they were located, which was obviously many times more deserted than there, “This street will do.”
Because both No. 1 High School and No. 1 Middle School were under closed management, the street had a low flow of people and was very deserted.
There were no stores selling clothes or shoes in the two streets near the school. They were almost all canteens and food. There was an occasional milk tea store and barber store.
The shoe and clothing area was basically concentrated on another bustling street in Wucheng, two streets away from No. 1 High School.
In fact, Wang Yong said that since Jiang Ning really wanted to open a store for her grandfather, it would be best to have it on the street where No. 4 High School and No. 2 High School were located. That street was lively and had a large flow of people. The street where No. 1 High School and No. 1 Middle School were located had few people on the street, especially compared to the neighboring streets.
“Don’t be in a hurry. Let’s wait until the end of the year and see how the seal engraving is going.”
Wang Yong was busy showing Jiang Ning a few design patterns with seals on them. “I found a Chinese painting teacher from No. 4 High School. Here are several fonts he designed. Which one do you like? The materials for carving seals are different, and the prices are also different. Some are expensive and some are cheap. You have to wait until the weekend to see this one yourself.”
Jiang Ning and Wang Yong were talking through the school’s large iron gate, and it felt like he was visiting a prisoner. The guard also listened quietly, fearing that the two people would fall in love under his eyes.
Although the little girl didn’t look like someone who would fall in love, young men in society were bad. What should he do if a little girl was simply coaxed? Jiang Ning looked at the guard who glanced over from time to time. After quickly communicating with Wang Yong, she smiled at the guard and turned back to the classroom. A few days later, the physical examination report from Shanghai and the books from the publishing house that needed her signature were also sent over.
They did not find any major fatal problems in Grandpa Jiang. The main problems were diseases caused by long-term malnutrition. These could be improved through treatment and conditioning.
It allowed Jiang Ning to let go of the biggest thing that had weighed on her heart since her rebirth.
All the books sent by the publishing house were in Wang Yong’s rented room. Jiang Ning asked him to send her all with bookmarks so she could just sign her name on the bookmarks, which would save so many books from moving around.
But the publishing house just wanted her to sign on the book.
“A signed book is a signed book. How can it be called a signed book if she doesn’t sign on the book cover?”
Jiang Ning had no choice but to go to Wang Yong’s room. The whole room was filled with books sent from the publishing house.
Jiang Ning felt that her eyes were a little dizzy.
She asked Wang Yong pitifully, “Brother Yong, can I just stamp them and not sign?”
Wang Yong opened a book silently, turned to the title page, and put it in her hand, “Sign them, there are two thousand more to be sent.”
