“Why did you come back from Clear Water County so soon? Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t come back until the contract was settled?”
“It’s settled.”
‘What?” Wei Xin was utterly surprised. Her voice suddenly became sharp, attracting the attention of the others. “You said the contract was signed? The author agreed?”
“Yes!” Speaking of this, Zhou Yan stopped her playful tone and crossed her arms over her chest. She sneered and told everyone about the trip to Clear Water County in detail. Everyone listened in amazement, their expressions varying.
“That’s how it is.” Wei Xin rejoiced, “Thank goodness you went personally. Otherwise, we would have been kept in the dark and let the despicable people scheme against us.”
“No wonder the handwriting in the reply and the ma.n.u.script don’t match.” “By the way, have you seen the original ma.n.u.script?”
“I saw it.” Zhou Yan was well-prepared this time. She had brought a camera with her and had taken pictures of the original ma.n.u.script as evidence when she was at Su Wen’s house.
“The photos of the original ma.n.u.script are in my camera. I’ll get Xiaow.a.n.g to develop them at the photo studio later.” “Okay, I’ll go right away,” Xiaow.a.n.g agreed.
“We can’t afford any more mistakes in this matter.”
Wei Xin cautioned, her concerns evident. “We must leave evidence behind. It can also reduce our troubles.”
“I personally saw it. Are you still worried?”
“That’s right.” The editor in charge of the sc.u.mbag’s handbook was also filled with righteous indignation and thought of more details.
“When the author submitted the ma.n.u.script, the name left for remittance, address, and everything was Su Wen, so Su Wen is the author’s real name and not a pen name, right? However, the person who replied to us changed her statement and said that Su Wen was a pen name. At that time, we didn’t think too much about it, so we were fooled.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Indeed.’
Zhou Yan also confirmed everyone’s guess, “Su Wen is indeed the author’s real name. I only found out after this trip. Su Wen did not have any hope of being published, so she didn’t bother to use a pen name.”
“Then what should we do? It was too late to change the pen name now,” The editor exclaimed.
“It’s fine. I’ve already spoken to Su Wen and she agreed.”
“That’s good. From what you’ve said, the real author is quite easy to talk to.” “More than that!” Zhou Yan changed the topic and praised Su Wen to the point that she was like the heavens and the earth. Her beauty was so stunning, ner personality was so generous, and her every move was enough to make anyone’s heart flutter, even a woman like her.
“Tsk! Boss is going off on a tangent again.”
No one believed what Zhou Yan said. It wasn’t the first time their boss had said that anyway, so they were already used to it.
Zhou Yan laughed, but she was not angry. She began to organize everyone’s tasks. It was the official release of the sc.u.mbag’s handbook. Each person had their own duties, and Zhou Yan sat at her desk, establishing connections with colleagues, friends, and familiar bookstore owners. She asked for help in promoting the new book and so on.
When the entire publishing house worked overtime, networking, and busily promoting the book, efficiency was extremely high. In just one day, Zhou Yan successfully distributed the book, “sc.u.mbag’s handbook” to all major bookstores and libraries in the Province.
With Zhou Yan’s own status, many bookstores gave her a lot of face. As soon as the new book was put on the shelves, it was given a prominent display.
After sending Zhou Yan off, Su Wen didn’t waste any time. After lunch, she brought her household registration book identification certificate and rode her bicycle to the village post office. When she arrived at the post office and explained the situation at the window, she immediately received the attention of the post office staff..
