Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 3827 3829【Romance Queen】

 After Li Er returned home, he continued to keep in touch with Xiang Nan.

They would send text messages and chat on QQ together. The M-Zone package that Xiang Nan had purchased included a thousand free text messages per month, which was not even enough.

In addition to talking about love and helping Li Er with guidance on novel creation, Xiang Nan also learned about the current situation of some classmates from Li Er.

For example, Zhou Guo, Chen Bing, You Ta and others all came back from the winter vacation, and they even had a dinner party together.

At a dinner party, I learned that several classmates fell in love, some started part-time jobs, and some regretted choosing the wrong major... In short, college life has its own sweetness and regrets.

 “I didn’t dare to say that I was in love with you.” Li Er also told Xiang Nandao.

"Why, can't I take it?" Xiang Nan replied.

"Of course not, it's just that I'm afraid of causing public outrage." Li Er explained, "After all, there are so many girls in our school who like you. During the dinner, many female classmates asked me about your current situation. What if they knew that I was talking to you? If we are together, I am afraid that I will be killed by their jealous eyes."

“It seems that although I am not in Dongshan, my legend is still left in Dongshan.” Xiang Nan replied.

“De Xing!” Li Er said with a smile, “By the way, do you still remember Jiang Jiao?”

"How could you not remember? What happened to her?" Xiang Nan asked.

 “She went to Australia to study, and she seems to have learned vocal music.” Li Er replied.

“It’s okay, her family is so rich, she doesn’t need to work at all, she can just develop a hobby.” Xiang Nan replied, “By the way, is there any news about Zhang Yang?”

“No, the classmates did not invite him to this dinner party.” Li Er explained, “I think even if he was invited, he probably would not attend.”

 “Yeah.” Xiang Nan nodded.

 …

 After the Spring Festival, school starts.

  Xiang Nan and Li Er both had excellent final exam scores. Not only did they successfully obtain credits, they also successfully received scholarships.

  Xiang Nan received a first-class scholarship, totaling 8,000 yuan. Li Er received a second-class scholarship, totaling 5,000 yuan. This also makes both of them very happy. Making money is secondary, the most important thing is the glory.

On February 14th, Valentine’s Day, Xiang Nan and Li Er gave each other gifts.

Xiang Nan gave Li Er a warm baby, "When you hold it when it's cold, it's like I'm warming you."

The winter in Hujiang is wet and cold, and there is no heating, so a warm baby is very important.

Li Er gave Xiang Nan a pair of headphones. She knew Xiang Nan liked listening to music, so she bought a set of headphones for him.

“After putting it on, all the sweet music you hear will be sung by me.” She said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

Xiang Nan was naturally very moved and hugged her tightly.

 …

 After the Spring Festival, the black man did not return to Dongshan. Instead, he worked as an apprentice in his cousin's car repair shop. While learning the skills of repairing cars, he worked hard to save money to open his own shop in the future.

Xiang Nan appreciates this very much.

Black people are considered to be loyal people. The only fault is falling in love with someone who doesn't love themselves. Now that he is free from Li Ba, as long as he is willing to work hard, he will not be able to do poorly based on his ability.

 Hence, he responded to the text message specifically to express his support for the black man’s decision. As for Li Bala, Xiang Nan has blocked her mobile phone number and deleted her QQ friends, so he doesn't know her current situation and he no longer cares.

Li Bala was just a passer-by in his life, and it was over as it passed, and he couldn't afford to continue to pester him.

 Otherwise, it would be like the "Lion and the Mosquito" in "Aesop's Fables", where the lion scratched himself with wounds all over his body in order to fight mosquitoes that were far less powerful than himself.

 …

 After the Spring Festival, Li Er continued writing novels under the guidance of Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan continued to speculate in stocks. He not only speculates in mainland stocks, but also stocks in the United States and Hong Kong.

 It is now 2006, and it will soon be 2007.

 The subprime mortgage crisis in 2007 was a financial crisis that swept the world.

 At that time, he can take the opportunity to make a lot of money and basically achieve financial freedom.

In May, during the May Day holiday, Xiang Nan and Li Er traveled to Hangzhou together and visited the West Lake, Lingyin Temple, Qiandao Lake, etc. The scenery of lakes, mountains and scenic spots made both of them feel relaxed and happy.

After returning from the trip, another piece of good news came. The novel "Only This Time Love" written by Li Er was chosen by Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House for its popular online serialization, with millions of netizens rushing to read it. Get it published.

 This was naturally a big surprise to Li Er.

Published by a publishing house, it not only proves her creative talent, but also brings a generous royalties. For her, who is still a student, it is both an honor and a fortune.

 Subsequently, under Xiang Nan’s guidance, Li Er rejected the publishing house’s buyout contract and instead signed a royalty-based publishing contract.

 In a buyout publishing contract, the publisher calculates the remuneration based on the quality, length, and economic value of the work, and pays the author a lump sum.

 A royalty-based publishing contract means that the publisher pays the author remuneration based on the book price * number of copies * royalty rate.

 The buyout type is a one-time transaction. Even if the book sells well in the future, it will not have much to do with the author. At most, you can gain some fame, which means you can raise the price when selling books in the future.

 As for a royalty-based publishing contract, although the money received is not much at the beginning, if the book really becomes popular, the author will continue to receive royalties.

For example, Yu Hua can still earn tens of millions in royalties every year from "Alive". If he had chosen to buy out publishing, he would not have been able to get the money.

Although "Only Love" is not as good as "Alive", in Xiang Nan's opinion, it is also a pretty good romance novel and will definitely have good sales. Therefore, choosing a royalty-based publishing contract is more in line with Li Er. Interests.

 Li Er basically knew nothing about these, so he chose to trust Xiang Nan completely.

 Even if Xiang Nan asked her to make less money, she wouldn't care. After all, without his encouragement and guidance, she would never have written this novel.

 …

 Subsequently, "Only This Time Love" was published by Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House.

And it quickly became warmly welcomed by readers for its wonderful stories, vivid characters and delicate descriptions. Within a month of its release, sales had exceeded 100,000 copies.

Li Er also became famous in one fell swoop and was dubbed the "little romance queen" by the media.

Especially after her photos were exposed by the media, her delicate face, refined temperament and pure eyes attracted media reports, calling her a new generation of "beautiful writer" and "talented writer".

These free publicity not only made her famous, but also greatly increased the sales of the novel. Therefore, "Only This Time Love" eventually sold more than 500,000 copies.

Li Er also received a royalties of 550,000 yuan with this novel. It can be said that he became rich overnight.
