The Fall of the Vampire

"About the contract?" Ximen Qing said lazily.

"Nonsense!" Song Yunwu glared at her fiercely, "Who do you think burned my hair so that I can't see people?"

"Didn't I give you a wig?" Ximen Qing scratched the soles of her feet, then sniffed it under her nose, it was okay, it smelled so good.

"That thing is not good, it's too troublesome to wear, and it's still heavy," Song Yunwu said, "Anyway, I'll leave it to you today, anyway, since you're so free, I still have to draw manga."

"You did it all," Ximen said affectionately, "If you use Taoism, wouldn't you be able to draw it just by doing it?"

"I can't improve my painting skills with Taoism. I don't know how to use it if I'm in a hurry," Song Yunwu urged, "Hurry up and change your clothes. The place is in the coffee shop next to the subway station. It is said that this time is The new editor-in-chief came to talk to us in person."

"New editor-in-chief? Male or female?" Ximenqing frowned.

"It should be a man." Song Yunwu said.

"That's fine," Ximen Qing sat up from the sofa, "I'll go."

Song Yunwu was surprised and said: "Don't you hate men very much? Why did you take the initiative this time?"

Ximenqing shook her index finger and said, "What I hate is not men, but 'men who come into contact with you'. Instead of asking you to negotiate a contract with a man, it's better for me to go by myself."

Song Yunwu couldn't help shaking her head when she heard that, "I don't know why, then I'm going to draw manga, remember to change your clothes."

"I know, I know." Ximen Qing changed her clothes and went out.

Song Yunwu made an appointment at around 6:00 pm. At this time, the sun had already set, and Ximen Qing was completely free to move about.

...

Gong Yanjun, 31, was born in Beijing Fangmingyuan Vocational and Technical College. Afterwards, he studied abroad and obtained a Ph.D. in Finance from Yelu University in the United States, and then returned to China to join Haifeng Group.

He was born as a commoner, without any background support, and has been promoted all the way by virtue of his talents. At the beginning of this year, he was transferred to become the editor-in-chief of SQUAT Press.

SQUAT is the leader of domestic comic magazine publishing houses, and it is not easy to be the editor-in-chief here. Li Jing was already 40 years old when he took this position.

The editor-in-chief of the publishing house is also the editor-in-chief of "Weekly SQUAT". Logically, this position should be reserved for people who have a certain understanding of the comics industry. There are no qualified talents. After thinking about it for a while, they finally decided to use Gong Yanjun. He had a good performance in other companies before. He once revitalized a subsidiary that was on the verge of bankruptcy within 3 months, and his superiors had high expectations for him.

Gong Yanjun himself doesn't think there is a problem. Although he doesn't understand comics, the publishing house is still in business after all, and the basic routines are common.

For example, he decided to negotiate a contract with Wuqing in person because he saw the commercial value of Wuqing. Before, many people were reluctant to give Wu Qing a high share, but he resisted all opinions and asked for a very generous treatment.

"They are worth the price, and I will give up the money. You think I am walking a tightrope, but what I see is a broad road."

Those leaders were finally persuaded by him and agreed to his proposal.

The appointed time was 6:00, and Gong Yanjun arrived at 5:30.

He picked a seat by the window, propped his chin on one hand and looked out the window.

On the side, Su Jin, the intern editor, was looking at the new editor-in-chief curiously.

Gong Yanjun suddenly looked back at her: "What are you looking at me for?"

Su Jin immediately lowered her head shyly: "No, I don't."

Gong Yanjun pointed to the window and said, "All the glass is reflected."

"Ah?" Su Jin blushed with embarrassment, she whispered, "I, I'm just curious, I thought leaders like you would work all the time even if they were in a coffee shop."

Gong Yanjun chuckled and said, "I'm not so incompetent that I can't even make time for a cup of coffee, and if Teacher Wuqing comes later and sees me answering the phone or typing on the computer, wouldn't it be rude?"

"Oh." Su Jin looked at Gong Yanjun's not-so-handsome but bookish face, and couldn't help but be fascinated. [This is a successful person, completely different from those little milk dogs and little wolf dogs in the school. 】

The time gradually came to 6 o'clock.

When Ximenqing opened the door and entered the coffee shop, Gong Yanjun immediately stood up.

Seeing this, Ximen Qing knew that it was the person he was looking for, so he walked over. At this time, Su Jin came to his senses: "Ah, yes, it's Teacher Qing'er!"

Ximen Qing looked at the two of them, a little girl who was about the same age as Qin Yuyao, and she could clearly see her youthfulness. But the appearance is very good, the standard oval face, watery eyes, and a small dimple on one side of the cheek.

As for the other one, she didn't look much when she knew it was a man. This should be the new editor-in-chief Song Yunwu was talking about.

"Teacher Qinger, please sit down, isn't Teacher Xiaowu coming today?" Gong Yanjun said with a smile.

"Well," Ximen Qing nodded, "She doesn't care about it, just talk to me."

"Okay then," Gong Yanjun signaled Su Jin to take out a document and handed it to Ximen Qing, "For this contract renewal, I roughly sorted out our plans here, take a look, Teacher Qinger, if there is anything you are dissatisfied with of?"

Of course, it is impossible to formally sign the document in a coffee shop. Today, he mainly came to discuss the conditions with Ximen Qing, and then formally draw up the contract before signing it.

Ximen Qing took a look and was a little surprised: "Hey, are you sure you're not fooling me with this condition?"

It's not too bad, but the treatment is too good.

3,000 per page of comics, 15% commission for booklets, plus animation, film and television drama copyright fees, peripheral sharing, etc. Even the top manga masters may not be treated so well, and SQUAT really paid for it this time.

"Are you really not afraid that we are just a flash in the pan?" Ximen couldn't help being speechless. She originally thought that such a publishing house run by a big capitalist would offer very harsh conditions, but now that she saw the conditions he gave, she didn't even think about it. Feel free to bargain.

Gong Yanjun smiled and said, "I've never been stingy with the investment I should make, you are worth the price."
