On the other side, in the private room on the second floor of Wanjuan Bookstore, after handing in the manuscript, Hang Shuheng sat aside leisurely drinking tea, waiting for Manager Lu to check it.

Shopkeeper Lu was very satisfied with the look and nodded continuously, "Not bad, not bad, Mr. Hang, please take a rest for a while, I will settle the bill for you right away."

Hang Shuheng put down his teacup and said, "Boss, there's no rush to settle the bill. I want to do business with you."

"Oh? What kind of business does Hang Shuheng want to do with our Wanjuan Bookstore?" Shopkeeper Lu became interested. "Why don't you tell me about it?"

Hang Shuheng did not speak, but took out the calligraphy exercise book he had written from his cloth bag and handed it over. "This is some manuscripts I wrote in my spare time. You may want to take a look at it first to see if you are interested."

When doing business, you have to be interested first before you can talk further.

Shopkeeper Lu took the booklet with some suspicion. The cover page was blank and there was no signature.

He thought that the contents of the booklet were nothing more than the inspiration or insights that Hang Shuheng gained when copying books, so without giving it much thought, he casually flipped through the pages.

But the content inside was completely different from what he had imagined. At first glance, he couldn't even understand the ins and outs of it.

"This is..." Shopkeeper Lu looked up at Hang Shuheng suspiciously, but the other party was still drinking tea leisurely and had no intention of explaining.

So, his gaze returned to the book in his hand again. He was willing to believe that with this student Hang's knowledge, if he could produce something so impressive, there must be some mystery in it.

He stared at the booklet again and again. After a few breaths, he seemed to see the mystery in it and took a deep breath.

"This, this, this, this..."

He held the booklet in front of Hang Shuheng and pointed at the contents on it with trembling fingers. For a moment, he was so excited that he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He flipped through the pages quickly, and after reading all the content, when he looked at Hang Shuheng again, he couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes.

"Hang Tongsheng, you are really..." He paused and gave Hang Shuheng a thumbs up, "You are really talented!" After that, he laughed to himself and couldn't stop.

Hang Shuheng did not interrupt him and let him laugh. He understood that one always needs to express his excited emotions before he can calm down.

Shopkeeper Lu laughed for a long time before slowly calming down, his tone still a little excited, "Hang Tongsheng, the book you wrote is amazing! With this book, even children who have just started learning to write can learn to write by themselves. If every student in the academy can have a copy of this book, it will save the teachers a lot of work!"

"Hang Tongsheng, you are so talented. I dare to conclude that once this book is published, it will be a masterpiece that will benefit the world. I wonder how you came up with such an idea?"

Each character is separated and then assembled. This booklet provides good writing demonstrations for each stroke, each line, and each dot. It is simple and clear, and you will learn it at a glance.

Novice students only need to practice writing repeatedly according to the demonstration of each step above, and they don’t have to worry about not being able to write well.

This book is not just written for teaching purposes. There are annotations and combinations next to each word, and the meaning is simple, straightforward and easy to understand.

"I just saw that my child was struggling to learn to write, so I suddenly came up with this method." Hang Shuheng casually said, and then said: "This method is very suitable for beginners who have no foundation. My son used it and it was very effective."

Shopkeeper Lu agreed with what Hang Shuheng said. Beginners without any basic knowledge could quickly learn writing by using this method.

But it is different for those who already have a basic foundation. They have their own habits and ideas about writing, and when they use this method, they are not as easy to use as beginners.

Shopkeeper Lu put away his excitement and put on a businesslike look to start the negotiation. "Mr. Hang, our Wanjuan Bookstore is determined to get this book. If you have any ideas, please tell us."

Hang Shuheng was silent for a moment, then said, "You decide on a price! This kind of thing is not complicated to write. Once it is published, other study rooms will be able to imitate it very quickly, so what we win is just an advantage."

Shopkeeper Lu looked at Hang Shuheng, his eyes revealing admiration and approval.

This young man did not become conceited because of his own talent, nor did he ask for an exorbitant price for such an unprecedented work. Instead, he analyzed the pros and cons so thoroughly, as if he was afraid that the boy did not understand.

With such a broad mind and bearing at such a young age, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things in the future.

"Mr. Hang, I admire you." The other person is so sincere, so Wanjuan Bookstore can't be too petty. "No matter what, since Mr. Hang has given this book to Wanjuan Bookstore, he trusts us. Wanjuan Bookstore will not let him suffer any loss."

"As you said, once this book is published, it is inevitable that it will be copied. But there is one thing that Hang Tongsheng may not know, that is, the annotations. It varies from person to person. I am sure that no one can make annotations as vivid and straightforward as Hang Tongsheng's."

Hang Shuheng said modestly: "Shopkeeper, you are too kind. My annotations are just from the perspective of a beginner."

"Mr. Hang, you are too modest." Shopkeeper Lu waved his hand and continued, "If you ask me to estimate the value of this book, in my heart, it is priceless."

If it had not been written by this young man, no one would be able to see such an unprecedented work in the future. This cannot be measured by gold and silver, which are full of the smell of copper.

He pondered for a moment, raised two fingers to Hang Shuheng, and said, "20% profit, this is the highest price I can offer. I wonder how Hang Tong's business is going?"

Hang Shuheng looked at the two fingers and was stunned for a long time. Even so, he could get such a high share, which was really unexpected.

Before coming here, he had already prepared himself mentally for a one-time buyout, but he never expected...

It seems that he still underestimated the ancients' love and persistence for knowledge. As long as the work is good, there will be no worries about no one being interested in it.

"Manager Lu is straightforward, so I can't afford to hesitate. I'll just do as you say!"

Seeing Hang Shuheng nod in agreement, Shopkeeper Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Very good, doing business with Hang Tongsheng is straightforward, let's sign a contract."

When Shopkeeper Lu was about to get up to write the contract, Hang Shuheng called him again. His eyes suddenly lit up again, "Mr. Hang, is there anything else you need me to look at?"

He looked into the cloth bag and it seemed like there was something else inside, maybe it was some masterpiece.

Hang Shuheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, there is one more thing. I would like to ask the shopkeeper to take a look at it."

As he spoke, he took out Yangyang's comic book and handed it to Shopkeeper Lu.

“These are some of the children’s wonderful ideas.”
