Chapter 309 Warning Letter

  Tian Shao wrote four letters, but did not write with a fountain pen. He chose a brush and wrote in regular script. The brush calligraphy is learned from my grandfather, and I have copied it for several years, which is somewhat similar. And she has never written calligraphy when she came here, so no matter what, she should not be found.

  After the letter is written, how to send it is a big problem. This letter must not be sent from Yongning County, and it can be easily found in a place as big as a palm. Just when Tian Shao was racking his brains on how to send the letter without being discovered, he received a call from Gu Hongxue, saying that he hoped she could go to the provincial capital to renegotiate the contract.

   Just right, Tian Shao thought the contract he signed was harsh. She proposed 10% of the royalties before, but these people gave half of it. At that time, I had no reputation and had to endure it. Now that "Little Hero Ayong" is selling so well, the contract should be changed.

   Hearing that the provincial newspaper wanted her to come, He Guoqing readily approved the leave. Then, he said to Tian Shao: "Our notice of recruiting accountants has been posted, and the exam will be held next month. Xiao Shao, you can also help out some of the exam questions."

   Tian Shao hesitated, and said, "Section Chief, is this bad?"

  He Guoqing said with a smile: "What's wrong? Your ability as the factory director is obvious to all. And I'm the gatekeeper, so you don't have to bear the burden."

   Tian Shao secretly said, I don't feel burdened, I just don't want to be burdened. But He Guoqing has been nice to her this year, and Tian Shao didn't refute his face, just said: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

  After talking about business affairs, He Guoqing talked about private matters again: "Xiao Shao, I want to decorate our house according to what you said before. I don't know if it will work?"

  He originally set the price at 60 square meters, but when his wife found out about Tian Shao’s price of 80 square meters, she immediately changed it and ordered a set of 80 square meters. So, now their houses are all in one unit. Of course, He Guoqing still doesn't know that Tian Shao is going to change rooms.

  Before Tian Shao planned to renovate these houses in a unified way, but there was not enough money in the account and many people were unwilling to pay any more. Tian Shao didn't want to pretend to be half or not, so the matter died prematurely.

   Tian Shao said with a smile: "Okay, I will invite people from the construction company to install it together. But if you have any ideas, you can think it over and tell me, and I will change the design when the time comes."

  He Guoqing waved his hand and said: "No need to change, just pretend to be the same."

  Actually, this is what Zhen Chunlan meant. The house must be furnished, but she doesn't know how to do it well. Tian Shao is so powerful that even the factory manager installed the house according to her design drawings, Zhen Chunlan felt that it was absolutely right to follow her. Facts have proved that her decision is very wise.

  Because the next day was Sunday, Erya packed up her things after get off work and was ready to go back. Working in the cafeteria is easier and more comfortable, but it is also a bit bad, that is, being looked down upon by others. Even that Aunt Ge still secretly called her country girl. If it wasn't for the fight, she would have been fired, and she would have had a fight with the other party long ago.

   Erya looked at the bicycles in the yard, hesitated and asked, "Sister, can I ride your bicycle back?"

  She knew that she had offended Tian Shao because of the Min family's affairs, and since she entered the city to work, she has been scrambling to do the work now, and she is cautious when speaking on weekdays. But even so, Tian Shao didn't give her a good face.

  Tian Shao looked up at the sky, and then said: "You can ride back, but be careful, if you break it, you can repair it later."

   Erya happily rode back on the bike.

   Also because Erya was not at home, Tian Shaomeng went to the provincial capital by car the next day without anyone knowing. When he arrived at the provincial capital, Tian Shao took the bus and went directly to Jiang Provincial People's Hospital. It will be afternoon and there will not be many people.

   Tian Shao stuffed the four letters into the mailbox and immediately entered the hospital, then left through another exit. What she didn't know was that when she left the hospital, the postman took out all the letters from the mailbox and sent them to the post office, and then the letters were sent away that night.

  Tian Shao changed trains twice, went to the toilet to remove the makeup on his face during the transfer, and then lived in the guest house next to the publishing house.

  The next day Tian Shao started the publishing house, Gu Hongxue saw her and said: "Xiao Shao, your comic book sold almost 30,000 copies last month, and many people in the publishing house are not satisfied with the previous contract."

  For nearly 30,000 volumes of books, according to the contract, Tian Shao will be awarded 300 yuan. Some people were jealous and felt that they should not give her so much money, and asked to change the contract. Because of the large number of people, President Pang couldn't bear the pressure and let go.

   Tian Shao smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, tell President Pang that I am not satisfied with the previous contract. Since both parties are not satisfied, the cooperation will end here, and it is good to get together and break up."

   Gu Hongxue thought that she would stop writing, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Shao, don't be impulsive."

Tian Shao said: "Teacher Gu, I'm not impulsive. The Jiang Provincial Publishing House is not willing, so I can cooperate with the District Publishing House! It's close there, so it's convenient for anything. Unlike here, it takes two days to go back and forth, and the time is spent on on the way."

  Anyway, now that her reputation has been established, the District Publishing House will definitely be happy to cooperate with her, and maybe the royalties can be negotiated higher by then!

  Gu Hongxue felt that she was taking things for granted, and said, "Xiao Shao, you have signed a contract with the publishing house, and this book can only be published by our publishing house."

   Tian Shao smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, I know! It just so happens that I am tired of writing this book and I am going to stop for a while. I want to write a book about criminal investigation."

   This contract is only bound to the book "Little Hero Ayong", not her pen name. Therefore, trying to restrain her with a contract is simply ridiculous.

  Gu Hongxue was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "If you write another book, maybe it won't sell so well?"

  Tian Shao shook his head and said: "I had too many worries when I wrote this book, and my hands were tied up, and the writing was bumpy. Now that I have experience, I will write a new book. I believe it will be better than this book."

   Gu Hongxue saw that she was confident, and said with a smile: "Alright then, I'll go talk to President Pang."

  Tian Shao said: "You tell President Pang that the royalties must be increased to 10%, otherwise I will not write this book."

  She only takes half of the royalties, and the publishing house earns more than her. Of course, the publishing house is a state-owned enterprise, and the money earned by the publishing house will not be distributed to individuals. But the performance is good until the end of the year, and more bonuses can be paid out, and if there is money in the account to build a house, it can be done! In the end, these people are still jealous of her, which is really ridiculous.

  President Pang said that it can remain the same, and firmly disagrees with the increase in royalties. Giving Tian Shao half of the royalties before was already under tremendous pressure, and the people in the agency should have objections to increasing her royalties.

  Tian Shao doesn't care about these things, she has a very tough attitude and says that she won't write unless the royalties are raised.

   It won't work if you don't write this. The popularity of Tian Shao's book exceeded his expectations, because it is a series, and if she continues to write it, the sales will definitely increase. And because of the performance brought by this book, his leaders all praised him for his vision.

  President Pang said: "I can't decide this alone. I will give you an answer after I have a meeting."

   Tian Shao had no objection, went to the financial office to collect three hundred yuan for the manuscript, and then went back to the guest house.

   I have a meeting today, and the third one will be later.
