Chapter 255： Have a holiday

It’s the National Day holiday soon.

During the seven-day holiday, many classmates made an appointment to go out together, go on a trip or something.

Lu Yanhe doesn’t have this time. He will start recording “Young Days” on October 3rd.

This is also the last recording. Once this recording is completed, "Young Days" will be finished.

Before that, Lu Yanhe still had to discuss the back-end of "Jump Up" with Yemai.com and Jiangyin Publishing House.

Chen Siqi came back on the night of September 30th.

Lu Yanhe went to the airport to pick her up.

Because he was afraid of being photographed, Lu Yanhe didn't even get out of the car, so he waited for her in the airport parking lot.

The car was borrowed from Chen Ziyan. He couldn't drive, so he borrowed a driver from Chen Ziyan.

The first reaction of both people was to be angry.

Lu Yanhe is dark.

Chen Siqi is also black.

But Lu Yanhe is a little darker.

Chen Siqi laughed and asked, "Why are you so dark? Didn't you wear sunscreen during military training?"

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "There is a drama later. I want to play a guard, and I need such an image, so I didn't play it."

“It looks more heroic when it’s dark.” Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe’s face and said seriously.

Lu Yanhe nodded, "I also think he is more handsome than before."

“You weren’t so narcissistic before.” Chen Siqi complained immediately.

Lu Yanhe smiled and touched his nose.

Chen Siqi: "Don't touch your nose all the time, it looks very silly."

Lu Yanhe put down his hand and asked, "How are you doing at Jiangguang University?"

Chen Siqi: "It's pretty good. As long as I stay away from Liu Wei'an, I'll be fine."

Lu Yanhe asked: “Do they know you are back?”

"I know." Chen Siqi said, "Two people expressed strong opposition to my unwillingness to go home to stay, but my attitude is very firm. If the objection is invalid, I will stay in the hotel."

“Aren’t you going to go back to live in the future?” Lu Yanhe asked in surprise.

"Since we have decided to be independent, why do we have to force ourselves?" Chen Siqi said, "I earned hundreds of thousands from just one copy of "Jump Up", which is more than enough to support me for a few years. They can no longer try to control me by controlling me. economic artery to threaten me.”

Lu Yanhe also laughed when he saw Chen Siqi's cheerful look.

Chen Siqi has been resistant to Liu Wei'an for a long time, and this is the first time Lu Yanhe has seen Chen Siqi mention her in such a wanton tone.

"Jump Up" gave Chen Siqi confidence.

Lu Yanhe is very happy that "Jump Up" can bring such confidence to Chen Siqi.

Chen Siqi said: “After the success of the first issue, it was much easier for us to invite manuscripts than before. In the past few days, I have sent invitation letters to several writers and teachers, and they all responded to us enthusiastically. Willing to contribute to us.”

Lu Yanhe was also very happy to hear what Chen Siqi said.

Chen Siqi: “In the future, I still want to invite one or two public figures to write articles around our theme in each issue. What do you think?”

“Yes, but I don’t know many artists, and the number of people I can invite is limited later.” Lu Yanhe said, “I may be like you in the future, and we can only invite people to see who is willing.”

Chen Siqi nodded and said: "Well, our self-media is also planning to open an interview column to interview celebrities from all walks of life. Among them, entertainers in the entertainment industry are a very important part. I will also use this method to send invitations to them. of."

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "Is the media account of "Jump Up" planning to do an interview column?"

"Yes." Chen Siqi nodded, "This is also a very important channel to expand the influence of "Jump Up". If we only rely on one issue to accumulate readers, it will be difficult for this book to be sold to markets other than our target. The crowd saw that most of the publicity targets of Jiangyin Publishing House and Yemai.com had been covered in the first issue of publicity, but there were still many potential readers who might not even know about this book, or Even if you have heard of it but have not read it, through interviews with celebrities in various fields, through their popularity and influence, "Jump Up" can be known to their followers. "

Chen Siqi’s idea is certainly correct. However, interviewing is not a very simple matter.

Lu Yanhe asked: “Then who are you going to invite to be responsible for the interview?”

"I originally wanted us to be responsible, but we have no experience, so I plan to invite well-known journalists to lead us to do this section." Chen Siqi said, "They will lead us to do two or three issues. Let’s start doing it ourselves.”

Lu Yanhe was originally a little worried whether Chen Siqi had overestimated his ability by doing this - interviews are not just about randomly asking the other party a few questions, but when he saw Chen Siqi's fighting spirit, he put his worries aside. .

Lu Yanhe knew Chen Siqi, Linyu, and Xu Zijun. No matter who they were, they were all hard-working people with strong learning abilities. Lu Yanhe had full confidence in them, as long as they wanted to do something well. , it will definitely be done well.

Such trust is of course somewhat idealistic, but idealism does not matter.

Lu Yanhe wanted to write the book "Jump Up", firstly because he liked it, and secondly because of Chen Siqi.

As long as he supports Chen Siqi's idea.

Chen Siqi has always been a person who works hard to implement whatever ideas he has.

This point has been fully proved by her beyond any doubt.

-

October 1st, National Day.

When Li Zhibai got up from bed at ten o'clock in the morning as usual, he yawned and walked out of the room with his slippers on. He saw Yan Liang sitting in front of the TV, looking at the screen and writing something seriously. .

“What are you doing?” Li Zhibai asked.

Yan Liang said: "Watch the movie and take notes. The school assigned us homework, requiring us to submit a movie-watching experience every week and find a movie to analyze and study the performances in it."

"Uh..." Li Zhibai opened his mouth, "Okay, it seems that I have also written such an assignment."

“You copied it from the Internet.” Yan Liang said immediately, “I remember, I watched you copy it.”

Li Zhibai: “…”

He immediately turned around and looked around and asked, "Where is Lao Lu?"

"He went out early in the morning." Yan Liang said, "Chen Siqi came back from Jiangguang."

“Hehe, you’re such a shameless bitch, he ran away as soon as his girlfriend came back.” Li Zhibai snorted coldly, “Then he won’t come back for lunch, then?”

“Well, I also want to go out for lunch.” Yan Liang said.

"Ah? Where are you going to eat?" Li Zhibai asked immediately, "Just leave me alone?"

Yan Liang said: "My classmates have made an appointment to have dinner together at noon. Do you want to go with me? If you want to go, they will definitely welcome you."

When Li Zhibai heard this, a look of resistance immediately appeared on his face, "Forget it, I'll eat the whole bunch of people myself."

Yan Liang nodded and continued watching the movie, taking notes from time to time.

Li Zhibai brushed his teeth, washed his face, looked at his bird's nest in the mirror, thought for a while, pulled it twice with his hand, smoothed it a little, and walked out of the bathroom with satisfaction.

Let’s just go home today.

With this thought in mind, he took the car keys and went out first.

“I’m going home.” Li Zhibai said to Yan Liang.

“Then will you come back at night?” Yan Liang asked.

“It depends on the situation, we’ll talk about it later.” Li Zhibai waved his hand and left.

He drove away, but the result was good, the road was blocked.

Having been driving for a long time, I didn’t even drive a kilometer.

It was a holiday, and all the students nearby came out. There were so many people.

The traffic jam made Li Zhibai angry. He was getting annoyed when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking across the zebra crossing in front of him.

Li Zhibai’s eyes immediately widened.

Police Officer Qiuling? !

Since they moved, they rarely see Officer Qiuling.

In the past, we would meet by chance from time to time, or arrange to have a barbecue or Malatang near the community, but now it is difficult.

Why is she here?

Li Zhibai's eyes followed Qiu Ling, and then he saw Qiu Ling walking in front of a tall and thin boy.

The boy looked like a freshman who had just entered school. His face was green and dark, and he must have been exposed to military training.

The boy saw Qiu Ling and smiled shyly.

Obviously Qiuling only reached his chin, but she acted like a big sister and patted him on the shoulder.

This action is so intimate!

Li Zhibai felt unhappy immediately.

“Beep—” The car behind honked.

Li Zhibai came to his senses and found that he could walk ahead.

He drove forward impatiently until Qiu Ling and the boy were no longer in sight.

-

Ten minutes later, Li Zhibai ran back here wearing sunglasses.

He parked the car in front and ran back.

I don’t know what happened, but the scene just now hooked his heart like a hook, making him think about coming back for a visit, and then he came back.

However, Qiu Ling and the boy were no longer where they were.

Li Zhibai turned around and looked around for a long time, but couldn't find it and couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Then, he was recognized. He was surrounded by students. After being recognized, other people gathered around him, asking for autographs and photos. The number of people became more and more, and it almost caused a congestion incident.

Li Zhibai saw that there were more and more people, and he really couldn't go on like this, so he could only say "sorry" forcefully, push aside the crowd, and find a way to leave.

In the chaos, Qiu Ling suddenly appeared.

She suddenly appeared from the crowd in front, and her eyes met with Li Zhibai's.

Li Zhibai's eyes showed surprise.

Unfortunately, the sunglasses blocked his surprise.

Qiu Ling was as strong as a bodyguard, "I'm sorry, please give way. Li Zhibai has other work arrangements later, please give way!"

She completely disguised herself as Li Zhibai's bodyguard and took Li Zhibai away from the crowded street and to a restaurant.

Li Zhibai lowered his head and followed Qiu Ling in.

Qiuling communicated with the waiter for a few words, and the waiter immediately nodded and arranged a private room for them.

Qiuling asked Li Zhibai to go in first.

"And you?"

"I have someone sitting outside. I'll call him in." Qiu Ling said.

When Li Zhibai heard this, the boy with the shy smile came to mind.

“It can’t be your boyfriend, right?” Li Zhibai asked.

Qiu Ling: "What nonsense are you talking about? A child I sponsored was admitted to college this year. I came to see him."

"Oh." Li Zhibai's tone became lighter for a moment, "So that's it." Qiu Ling gave him a strange look, "What's your reaction?"

Li Zhibai chuckled, shook his head, and said, "There's no reaction. Just go and call him. I'll go in and wait for you."

After Li Zhibai finished speaking, he curled up his lips and entered the private room first.

Qiu Ling only found it incredible.

But Li Zhibai has always been a bit strange, and Qiu Ling has gotten used to it.

After a while, Qiu Ling came in with the boy.

“Liu Ao.” Qiu Ling introduced Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai looked at the boy named Liu Ao, nodded, smiled, and stretched out his hand, "I am Li Zhibai."

Liu Ao didn't know why, but he was a little nervous. He quickly wiped his hands on himself before reaching over and shaking hands with Li Zhibai.

“Hello, my name is Liu Ao.”

Qiu Ling: "Sit down, we meet by chance, let's have lunch together."

Li Zhibai immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, whatever you want, I'll treat you."

"You dare to pay the bill and give it a try." Qiu Ling immediately glared at Li Zhibai, "I'm here to treat Liu Ao to dinner today. You are just a slut. Pay attention to your position today and don't grab the order."

Li Zhibai clicked his tongue and said, "Okay, then I'll still take advantage of Liu Ao."

Liu Ao shook his head in embarrassment.

-

In another private room of this restaurant, four people, Lu Yanhe, Chen Siqi, Xu Xiaoyin and Xin Zixin, were sitting at a table.

The food was also served on the table, and several people were eating and chatting.

"The physical book is indeed selling very well, and it is expected that 30,000 copies will be sold this month." Xu Xiaoyin said, "Jiang Yuqian's article was widely spread online and helped the book to do a lot of publicity. Now Many channels are asking us about when the next issue will be released. ”

Lu Yanhe still adopted a silent posture and left the entire situation to Chen Siqi.

“We plan to launch it on the 15th of every month.” Chen Siqi said, “So, the expected release time of the second phase is November 15th.”

"Hmm? The time is a bit tight then." Xu Xiaoyin said immediately.

"Well, however, because we are producing the second and third issues at the same time, there are a lot of requests for submissions, and the submission speed will be faster than the first issue." Chen Siqi said, "According to our expectations, we can still catch up with this Published on time."

Xu Xiaoyin nodded and said: "The first issue of "Jump Out" got an ISBN. Starting from the second issue, a serial number will be given to this series. In fact, it is a magazine. Otherwise, you have to apply for an ISBN after publishing an issue. , it’s also very troublesome.”

"I have to leave it to you for publishing matters." Chen Siqi said, "I had a serious communication with Yan He. Regarding what to do with "Jump Out" next, first of all, our cooperation model and sharing model can be based on the previous No changes will be made, but we hope to increase the production cost of each issue to 200,000 yuan.”

"Two hundred thousand yuan?" Xin Zixing also showed surprise. Before she came, she had thought that Lu Yanhe and the others would want to increase the production budget, but she did not expect that they would double it in one go.

"This includes the salary of our editorial team. When producing the first issue, almost all of the 100,000 yuan was spent on manuscript fees and design fees." Chen Siqi said, "In the future, our goal is to make "Jump Up" To create a high-quality magazine and theme book, we must invite the best writers and publish the highest-level manuscripts. This also means that we must pay the highest standard of manuscript fees. Only in this way will others be willing to pay us Only if you contribute for a long time will you be willing to give us the best manuscripts. ”

"One issue of 200,000 yuan will be 2.4 million in one year." Xin Zixing said, "Based on the sales of the first issue, the production cost is not high, but how should we bear the production cost? Xiao Yin, what’s your attitude towards Jiang Yin?”

Xu Xiaoyin said: "How about each of our two families contributes half?"

When the first issue was published, Jiangyin Publishing House was not actually responsible for the bulk of the production funds. The bulk was provided by Yemai.com.

However, the publication of the first physical book made Jiangyin Publishing House a huge profit - far beyond their expectations. In their expectations, being the first to launch a physical book for free electronic reading can only rely on the fan effect. Who would have thought that the book sold between 30,000 and 50,000 copies, and now it is all aiming for 100,000 copies. Although they don’t know whether this book has a long-tail effect and whether it can continue to sell, but just selling it now These have already brought a lot of profits to the publishing house, not to mention the publicity and promotion it has brought to Liujiazhen and Mingyin.

Jiangyin Publishing House’s attitude surprised Xin Zixing. She didn’t expect that the publishing house that had always been stingy about Sosou would suddenly agree to be responsible for half of it.

But Xin Zixing reacted quickly, which only shows that the benefits this book brings to the publishing house are far higher than the production cost.

In fact, as partners, they have nothing against them.

The production of such a book was outsourced to the team of Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi. They didn't worry about anything and just waited for the finished product to be released. The two of them are actually distributors, one is responsible for online channels, and the other is responsible for online channels. If you go through the channels, you can make sure profits without losing any money, so why wouldn't you want to?

Lu Yanhe originally thought that Xin Zixing and Xu Xiaoyin would bargain, but unexpectedly, in a few words, a few people settled the matter.

Just as Chen Siqi said, they will definitely agree.

Is the production cost of 200,000 yuan per issue high for a magazine?

In the golden age of print media, it was certainly not high, but in an era like this, it was very high.

In particular, Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi both refused to place any advertisements on this book, rejecting a large portion of the income.

-

Lu Yanhe came out to use the restroom and met Li Zhi, who also came out to use the restroom.

"I'll go." The two people walked in and out, almost bumping into each other, and then recognized each other at the same time.

Two people who have to wear masks even when going to the toilet look different.

“Why are you here?”

“Why are you here?”

Two people spoke in unison.

Lu Yanhe explained: “I have lunch here with others.”

“Me too,” Li Zhibai said, “Just Qiuling, and a student she sponsored.”

Lu Yanhe said, "That's quite a coincidence."

“Do you want to say hello to Qiuling?” Li Zhibai asked, “It’s rare to see her now. She asked about you just now.”

"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded, "Then wait for me."

Lu Yanhe went to their place with Li Zhibai after using the bathroom.

Qiu Ling was stunned.

Li Zhibai just went to the bathroom, why did he suddenly bring back Lu Yanhe?

Does he have a random door and can go anywhere he wants?

Lu Yanhe gave a brief explanation.

“So what a coincidence.” Qiu Ling said, “Have you finished talking about the matter?”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "That's almost it."

“But his girlfriend is still over there.” Li Zhibai immediately added.

“Girlfriend?!” Qiu Ling’s eyes widened immediately and she looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise, “You have a girlfriend?”

Lu Yanhe smiled shyly and said, "So be it."

Qiu Ling: "If you do it, you do it. If you don't do it, you don't do it. How can you say it counts? Don't engage in ambiguous affairs with me. I'm most annoyed by boys hanging on to girls."

Li Zhibai explained to Lu Yanhe, "Their situation is a bit complicated. They are not hanging, and they can't tell who is hanging whom."

Qiu Ling's eyes widened and she looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.

"You are not being hung up by others, are you? Lu Yanhe, don't be a licking dog or a spare tire."

Lu Yanhe couldn't laugh or cry. He wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

Li Zhibai waved his hand and said, "The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. That's not what happened."

Qiu Ling: "If it weren't for you and your work partner, I would want to meet that girl right now."

“Oh, a classmate from high school.” When Li Zhibai said this, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Liu Ao, “Remember to keep it a secret.”

Liu Ao nodded.

Qiu Ling: "Don't worry, I've watched Xiaoao grow up, and he has a tight mouth."

Liu Ao lowered his head and smiled sheepishly.

Li Zhibai felt a little unhappy when he saw Qiu Ling's unconditional trust in Liu Ao.

Even though... he knew intellectually that this unhappiness was not justified at all. In terms of the time they had known each other, they had known each other longer.

Lu Yanhe said: "Then I'll go back there first, Sister Qiuling."

“Yeah, let’s go.” Qiu Ling smiled and nodded.

After Lu Yanhe left, Qiu Ling said: "It's really amazing to see Xiao Lu step by step until he is today. It's really amazing. He was only a freshman and he has already started to be the editor-in-chief. Moreover, he has done an impressive job. I bought a book and read it. It’s halfway through, and it’s obvious that it was a book that was written with great care.”

Li Zhibai: “Then, have you read the article I wrote?”

Qiu Ling nodded and said, "I read it, but I didn't expect you to be quite talented and be able to write such a story."

“Of course.” Li Zhibai said, “I grew up listening to a lot of stories when I was a child. It is extremely easy for me to make up a story.”

Li Zhibai looked proud, and even wanted to raise his tail.

Qiu Ling suddenly sighed: "Li Zhibai."

“What?” Li Zhibai looked at her.

"If you can be a little more mature sometime, you might be more popular with girls." Qiu Ling said with a smile, "There should be many girls who are just attracted by your appearance now, but after getting along with you for a while, You will find that you are actually a primary school student, right?"

“What?!” Li Zhibai felt as if a lightning had struck him.

-

“Why did it take you so long to go to the bathroom?” Chen Siqi asked in a low voice in Lu Yanhe’s ear.

Lu Yanhe explained: "I just met Li Zhibai. He and Officer Qiu were eating next door."

Chen Siqi looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise and asked, "Is it such a coincidence?"

"Um."

The follow-up production of "Jump Up" has been negotiated. Xin Zixing said: "I finally got a holiday, so I left first and made an appointment with someone in the afternoon."

“I’m leaving too.” Xu Xiaoyin said, “Bye.”

“Bye.” Lu Yanhe saw them off.

Xu Xiaoyin said: "Don't send us off. It would be bad if someone recognizes you. See you next time."

"Um."

As soon as they were sent away, Lu Yanhe sat down again.

Chen Siqi said: "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I will start recording "Young Days" for the last time the day after tomorrow. I will be fine today and tomorrow."

Chen Siqi said: "Then you can accompany me to watch a movie. There is a movie I want to watch on National Day."

"what movie?"

"The Honest Man." Chen Siqi said, "I am going to write a review of this movie on the media account of "Jump Up"."

Lu Yanhe nodded and said yes.

He took out his mobile phone, searched for the movie, and looked at nearby movie theaters.

“The latest one is half an hour later, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there,” Lu Yanhe said.

“Well, let’s go.” Chen Siqi said.

Lu Yanhe put on his mask and hat again, and put his sunglasses in his pocket.

Walking with Chen Siqi in public, Lu Yanhe was indeed a little nervous because he was worried about being photographed again and trending.

If Lu Yanhe kept it secret before because Chen Siqi was unwilling to confirm the relationship, now Lu Yanhe himself is not willing to make it public.

He still doesn't know what will happen to him in the future. The secrets about himself have not been solved yet. He doesn't want to involve Chen Siqi at this time. (End of chapter)
