Chapter 58 Lin Weihua
Chapter 58 Lin Weihua
“Mayou, how old are you this year?”
"Eighteen years old."
"You are only 18 years old and you have such strength. Don't be proud. There will definitely be a place for you on the stage in the future."
After Li Kang signed the contract, he smiled and spoke more pleasantly: "I have to thank Editor Ouyang for his training."
"I know your character. I won't say anything pretentious."
"I can actually understand you. Having experienced that since childhood, it's normal for you to have a more upright personality. There are actually quite a few freaks like you among writers."
Li Kang nodded, agreeing with him.
"Brother Kang, what's going on?"
"How did Li Kang's contract signing go?"
Li Kang made an OK gesture to them. "It went smoothly."
"Who are these two?"
Li Kang introduced them to editor Ouyang: "These two, one is my younger sister, and the other is my elder sister."
"This is Editor Ouyang, my mentor."
"No, no. I am not worthy of being your mentor. Your sister and elder sister are both stunning beauties. You are also a handsome man with outstanding talent."
Editor Ouyang looked at Lin Meixia twice more, which made Lin Meixia feel a little uncomfortable.
He hugged Ye Yuqing who was beside him.
cough~
Ouyang Zhi then realized that it was somewhat impolite to stare at the little girl like that.
He rubbed the back of his bald head with a wry smile, "Sorry, this little beauty looks like one of my colleagues. I have work to do, so I won't chat with you for now."
His behavior just now was already a bit rude, so I didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, he really wanted to ask the girl's name.
He looks so much like Lin Weihua; his eyebrows and forehead are almost carved from the same mold.
Lin Weihua was also a handsome guy when he was young.
But in my mind, Lin Meixia’s figure can’t be erased.
"Ask Wei Hua later if he has another daughter."
He knew Lin Weihua's family situation in Shanghai: he had only one young son who was still in elementary school.
His wife Luo Linxiang is a dozen years younger than him. When they were dating, one was in her early twenties and the other was in her thirties.
However, Lin Weihua finally won the beauty's heart by relying on his status and infatuation.
It’s just that the old man’s life after marriage is a bit depressing.
Pain and happiness.
……
"How much is the manuscript fee?"
Li Kang stretched out his hand, made the number three, and whistled.
"Three hundred words for one hundred?!" Ye Yuqing couldn't help but exclaimed.
Everyone around looked at me as if I were a monkey.
"Are you stupid? How can there be three hundred words for a hundred?"
"There's no one thousand words or three thousand either."
"I think that man is just bragging too much."
Li Kang quickly covered Ye Yuqing's mouth.
Take her to a place with fewer people.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Three hundred for a hundred words, robbing a bank!"
"It's one thousand words and three hundred."
"Oh~" Ye Yuqing pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved, "Then how many words are you going to write?"
"About 200,000 words. I've seen many novels that are about this length."
Ye Yuqing and Lin Meixia gave him a thumbs up at the same time.
"You're awesome! You earned $60,000 so easily."
"Brother Kang is so awesome." Lin Meixia continued to praise him unconditionally as always.
Li Kang is the hero in her mind.
An existence that no one can replace.
"Now that you're a wealthy man, you have to treat us." Ye Yuqing nudged him with her elbow.
Not polite at all.
If you are polite to your rich friends, then you are wrong.
Li Kang has always been generous to his friends.
At his age, he has thousands of dollars in cash on him, which can be said to be enough to outshine 99% of his peers.
You don’t have to worry about adults’ feelings when spending money. You can spend it however you want.
"Where do you want to eat?"
Ye Yuqing thought for a moment and thought of a place that made her eyes light up.
"You have just been in Shanghai for a few days, so you must have never seen eating in a high-rise building, and there is a revolving restaurant. When you eat, you can see the whole of Shanghai."...
Hotel area, Dimos Building.
The building is nearly 400 meters high and has a revolving restaurant on the roof.
Standing on it, you can overlook the entire Shanghai scenery.
"From here, you can see the scenery of the whole Shanghai. The building under construction on the Huangpu River over there is called the Oriental Pearl Tower, which will become a landmark building in Shanghai in the future." Ye Yuqing introduced to Li Kang and Meixia.
"Brother Kang, this place is also very grand. It's just as grand as the Portman Building we visited last time."
"It must be very expensive to eat here. We don't have that much money."
Ye Yuqing also liked this gentle girl very much. She held her little hand, which was usually held by Li Kang.
"Don't worry, I was just joking. How could I ask you, Brother Kang, to treat me? He is probably still a pauper now. He can't afford to eat here before he gets the royalties."
"By the way, have you been to Portman? That seems to be where the foreign companies are located."
Ye Yuqing has only been in Shanghai for a year, but she has basically figured out the situation here.
I usually travel around when I have free time, and do part-time jobs everywhere. I have been to many places.
"Yes, Kang Ge was there to translate for others."
"ah?!!"
If Ye Yuqing hadn't heard about this from Meixia, she wouldn't have known that Li Kang had this experience.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Li Kang, "Did you really receive an invitation from Mr. Tom to be a simultaneous interpreter?"
A few people sat in a good seat by the window and the waiter brought the menu.
Li Kang picked up the menu and said calmly, "Yeah, I worked part-time for four hours and I was exhausted."
But to Ye Yuqing, there was a hint of pride in it.
"Okay~! There's such a good opportunity, but you didn't even ask your sister to join you."
"I am also a foreign language major, and I am in need of practical opportunities. Especially business translation opportunities."
In her eyes, translating for the foreign woman was not really an exercise.
It's just torturing myself.
"Tom has gone back to his country for his annual vacation. There won't be any opportunities for him in the near future."
"But~~" Li Kang kept the topic in suspense with a smile on his face.
"But what? Tell me quickly." Ye Yuqing asked expectantly.
"Many bosses from other companies have contacted me to do simultaneous interpretation for them. The hourly wage is 800 yuan."
This hourly wage is also in line with the usual style of mainland bosses.
It is far behind foreign companies.
Foreign companies pay 2,000 yuan an hour, but they only pay 800 yuan. And the workload is not low, basically they have to accompany for more than five hours.
Treat people like animals. There was no time for rest, let alone afternoon tea.
Foreign companies also count rest time as part of working hours.
Eight hundred yuan an hour, it sounded so easy coming from Li Kang's mouth.
If conditions permit, Ye Yuqing really wants to plaque him.
Tell him: "Do you know how much money you can make?!"
Ye Yuqing's budget for bringing them here for dinner was one thousand.
It’s already very conscientious.
I worked as an interpreter for that foreign woman for two hours and only got four hundred yuan.
And also suffer mental torture.
A meal costs money.
As a result, Li Kang ordered two thousand yuan each and even a bottle of red wine.
……
"Old Lin, come to think of it, the author really surprised me today."
"What's surprising?"
The two of them sat around the table, enjoying the air conditioning and eating mutton soup pot.
I also brought a bottle of Moutai.
For a cultured person, drinking is an essential skill.
A lot of inspiration comes from drunken dreams.
"The new author named Mayou Du Fu that I signed actually brought two beautiful girls with him."
"There are a lot of pretty girls, Ouyang. Did you see a young girl who is enjoying a second spring?"
"You're kidding. I have a family. I just saw a girl who looked a bit like you."
When Lin Weihua heard this, his chopsticks suddenly froze.
"What?!!"
Ouyang Zhi looked at his reaction and asked seriously, "Wei Hua, did you ever get married when you were an educated youth?"
New book, please read it, the main story is in progress, please help me, please read it.
