Chapter 349 Candied Haws
Feng Di was stunned. She didn't expect Su Xing to agree to the price of 60,000 and ask for a signature.
Although the copyright of this type of authorized illustration still belongs to the illustrator, few illustrators will ask to be named in the book.
Feng Di looked at Su Xing deeply. This little girl really has some ideas.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Su Xing's request.
If it were just two or three pictures, he might not agree to Su Xing's request, but her series of paintings is the soul of the book they are going to publish. Her paintings will run through the entire book and account for a large proportion, so it seems normal for her to ask for a credit.
In fact, there are many similar precedents.
For example, if a book contains a large number of photographs, the photographer's name will also be signed.
Some books have celebrities designing their covers, and the cover designer’s name will also be included.
There are also books that combine pictures and text, and some of them have the names of the illustrators added.
After the deal was done, Feng Di said, "So let's sign the contract today?"
Su Xing nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Feng Di turned on the computer, found the contract template, modified some details, and sent it to his colleagues in the contract department.
A few minutes later, a lady brought over two contracts with a special contract stamp on them.
Feng Di handed Su Xing a pen, "Ms. Su, please sign."
Su Xing took the pen and signed the two contracts.
Feng Di put away one contract and put the other one into his backpack.
Feng Di said: "Our finance department can only transfer the money to you after New Year's Day."
Su Xing, "Okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Feng Di added: "It's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Su Xing smiled, "It's a pleasure to work with you. You are always welcome to ask me for an article, Mr. Feng."
Feng Di sent Su Xing out of the Forbidden City.
Su Xing got in the car and returned to school in a good mood.
On the way, she sent another message to He Xu to share the news.
He Xu was probably busy and didn't reply to her for the time being.
When Su Xing returned to school, his roommates had just returned from the study room.
When her roommates saw the new contract she brought back, they were shocked.
Gao Yang said with a wooden face: "Everyone is busy preparing for the exam, and you actually ran out to sign a contract and make some money? Do you want to let people live?"
Pei Shiqi gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, it's too much!"
Zhang Caifeng sighed, "Alas, I can't compare..."
If she sets Su Xing as her goal, she will drive herself crazy sooner or later, so she should just compare herself with herself, as long as she can always be better today than she was yesterday.
Su Xing said, "Shall I treat you to a meal?"
Gao Yang, "I need to hurry up and review because I have an exam tomorrow."
Pei Shiqi, "No, I don't have time."
Zhang Caifeng also said, "Forget it, don't go out."
Going out for a meal would take up two or three hours, so she could review a lot of content.
Su Xing added: "Please go to the cafeteria to eat."
This time, several roommates agreed.
"That!"
"Let's go!"
"I want a chicken drumstick..."
The four girls packed up and went to the cafeteria to eat together.
night.
After seeing the message, He Xu congratulated and praised his girlfriend.
During the exam month, his girlfriend went to Panjiayuan and the Forbidden City to discuss contracts. He didn't feel that she was neglecting her work. Instead, he felt that she was confident about the exams and had everything planned out, so she handled it calmly.
In a blink of an eye, New Year's Day is here.
There is no exam on this day.
Dumplings are served in the cafeteria in the morning.
Several girls from dormitory 306 went to have breakfast together.
Su Xing finished three servings of dumplings and then went to get another serving of glutinous rice balls and ate them slowly.
Gao Yang asked: "How are you going to spend today? What do you guys have in mind?"
Pei Shiqi sniffed, "I really want to go home..."
Gao Yang glanced at her and said, "Winter vacation will start in a few days."
Zhang Caifeng said, "Let's go to study. We have an exam tomorrow."
Su Xing said: "He Xu and I have made an appointment to spend New Year's Day together."
Gao Yang, Pei Shiqi, Zhang Caifeng: "..."
A guy who values women over roommates!
Gao Yang finally said, "Forget it, forget it. Lao Si, go find your Mr. He. We, the single guys, should just hang out in the study room..."
After breakfast, the other girls went to study.
Su Xing returned to the dormitory, dressed herself up beautifully, put on the same down jacket as He Xu, put on a small backpack, and went out.
She came to He Xu's apartment, but there was no one there.
When Stumbling Stone saw Su wake up, he immediately ran over and rubbed her calf. After rubbing twice, he ran to the balcony, jumped onto the cabinet where snacks and cans were stored, and looked back at her.
“Meow~ meow~~”
Su Xing twitched his mouth, "Little greedy cat~"
"Meow~~"
Su Xing said, "Today is a holiday, so I can improve your meals, but you have to run a few laps on the treadmill first, and then I'll open the cans for you."
"Meow!"
"The protest is ineffective!"
Stumbling Stone jumped off the locker and reluctantly walked towards the treadmill…
Su Xing saw that the cat litter was not cleaned in time, and she suspected that He Xu did not come back last night.
She cleaned the cat litter, added cat food and water, looked back at the stumbling block, and saw it walking on the treadmill.
"Stumbling block, if you keep doing this, the can will be gone."
The stumbling block Xiaopang paused for a moment, and then he started running...
Twenty minutes later, Stumbling Stone got off the treadmill with his tongue hanging out.
It finally got what it wanted and ate the can...
After Su Xing fed the cat, she checked the refrigerator and found it was almost empty. She decided to go downstairs to the supermarket.
If He Xu was working overtime last night and didn't come back, he must be very tired.
It’s nice to cook something at home during the holidays and watch TV together afterwards. It’s not necessary to go out on a date.
Su Xing patted the round cat head of the stumbling block and said, "You stay at home and look after the house. Mom will be back soon."
Stumbling Stone clamped his throat and said, "Meow~"
Su Xing went out and prepared to walk to a nearby supermarket.
But she didn't reach the supermarket, she stopped at the intersection of a snack street.
What attracted her was not the aroma of food, but the sound of hawking.
"Tang Haws--sweet Tang Haws!"
This is the voice of an old lady.
Su Xing looked in the direction of the hawking sound and saw a small cart selling candied haws. A hunchbacked old lady stood in front of the cart.
She was wearing a grey cotton jacket and a large fur hat on her head that covered most of her face.
Su Xing walked over.
When the old lady saw Su Xing, she smiled and said, "My little girl, would you like some candied haws?"
As they got closer, Su Xing saw the old lady's face, who was probably in her seventies or eighties.
Looking at the candied haws in the glass cabinet on the cart, most of them are the old-fashioned haws, with a few black date candied haws and orange candied haws.
"Grandma, how much are the candied haws?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Three dollars a bunch, five dollars two bunches."
