When Tu Za finally made his 25th call today, he answered the phone.When he picked it up, the 25 red exclamation marks made him feel a sense of Tuza's persistence.

"Teacher!! I finally got through to your phone!" Followed by Tuza's cheers, "Teacher, have you passed by the bookstore recently? Have you seen your new book? Is it in the front row? Is it the first time you enter?" Can you see it in the bookstore?"

He couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes, it's really hard work for you."

"It's not hard, it's not hard." There was a sound of flipping through papers from Tuza's side, "I called you persistently, about some copyright-related issues about these books. From my side, I will give you details Say it."

Tu Za suddenly paused: "Teacher, are you free? I didn't bother you, did I?"

"If you are free, you can tell."

At this time, he was sitting in a decent homestay in the village having lunch—chicken noodle soup.

"Okay, I'll explain it to you one by one."

On the other end of the phone is Tuza's energetic speech, lively and energetic, which can make her smile unconsciously, and is also clear in terms of business. It is said that she is very popular with the editor-in-chief Queen, and she plans to take care of her well. , let her take over.

"According to the original agreement, we helped you negotiate the film and television copyright of these three books. The contract is still the same as before. Send you an electronic manuscript. After you read it, if there is no problem, print it out, sign it and send it to you? "

"Well, it's the same as before."

"Okay, the next two books we are currently working on..."

After all the important things were finished, Tu Za let out a long breath: "Oh my god, I'm so dry."

"I want to ask, the agreement signed with you before, if I have an accident, is the agent a friend of mine?"

"Huh?" There was another flipping sound from Tuza's side, "Yes, it's Yan An, isn't he lying to the teacher? Ah! Teacher, I'm sorry, I shouldn't..."

"It's okay, I respect Kuang Xia's choice." He paused, then continued, "I have no contact with that friend named Yan An now. If you can't contact me, if you contact him, It's going to be a little bothering. So I figured..."

"Do you want to change your agent? I need to ask the editor-in-chief about this. Can I reply to you in two days?"

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

"Hey, what's the trouble, it's my job."

----------###----------

"Are you going to sign the contract today?"

He stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at his outfit. He didn't have any eye-catching luxury brands, and he just hoped that he would be fresh and not annoying.

"Well, you continue to sleep, it's rare to rest."

"I'll go with you, how meaningful." The man got up and walked to the bathroom.

"Recently, you don't go to bed until midnight every day..."

The man was unmoved, and began to put on a sweater and put on pants after washing.

"Okay." He said helplessly, "Then shall we go out to eat at night?"

"Success, let's go to the western restaurant you were curious about before. I'll make a reservation now." The man took out his mobile phone, "Go to the supermarket after eating, it's almost time for us to go shopping every half a month."

"You decide."

"Really? Two more times today?"

"roll!"

When we arrived at the appointed place, the other party was very sincere, not only the editor in charge of him came, but also the editor-in-chief.

"This is the contract we have drawn up. The conditions and requirements are written in it. You can take a look. If you have any comments or questions, you can raise them and we can discuss them." The editor in charge of him, Sister Luo Li, wrote a document Pass it over, "The contract has been settled, let's talk about some issues that we need to pay attention to later."

When all the issues were discussed, his stomach was empty, and he felt that he had just finished a long journey.This is a small start for his career, and he has to put a lot of energy into it.

"Although it may not be useful, and it's bad luck to mention this kind of thing, we still hope to be able to take care of all aspects. For example, when you have an accident or you can't get in touch with the retreat, do you have a relying person?" A friend or relative of Pupu can contact us as one of your representatives."

He turned his head and glanced at the man who was playing games bored aside, and said, "Just him, he was my childhood friend, and he is also my current roommate."

"Okay, fill in your name, contact information, and address here."

Later, Sister Luoli took him as an editor for 4 years, and helped him as a friend for 8 years. Later, Sister Luoli resigned because she found out that she had advanced breast cancer. Before that, she handed him over to Tuza.

----------###----------

He rummaged through the phone to find Sister Luoli's contact information, and clicked into her circle of friends, her circle of friends stayed nearly a year ago.

Yes, during the time when he and Yan An broke up, Sister Luoli passed away due to illness, and he did not attend Sister Luoli's funeral due to mental problems. Kuang Xia helped him handle everything.

[…

Today, I had the final work communication with Tuza.

I was afraid that if something happened to me in the future, the editor of the publishing house would call you and disturb your new life, so I asked Tuza to change my emergency contact person and agent.Although you didn't come in handy before, it was Kuang Xia who kept in touch with them all along, but after all...

By the way, do you still remember Miss Lolita?I suddenly remembered that I didn't send her a bouquet of flowers with my own hands.

9 years ago, my submissions were basically rejected, and there was no food without payment.If it wasn't for a coincidence that I met her, she sent me a sum of money when I was most helpless, forced me to accept it, and gave me a lot of advice and help, so that I could walk on this road more smoothly. It may be me who is successful in my career now.

She is my bole.

But when she left, it happened to be the time when we broke up. You were busy packing your luggage outside, and I locked myself in the study in a daze.Now I can’t remember what I was thinking about at the time, or I actually didn’t think about anything. Kuang Xia helped me deal with everything that happened during that time, including attending Sister Loli’s funeral...

I'm very sorry for Sister Luoli, she was so kind to me, but I don't know where my mind wandered, and it's too late to think of her until now.
