Chapter 689 Congratulate me!
He Xu saw Su Xing was in a daze, so he asked her: "Are you still thinking about what happened just now?"
Su Xing came back to his senses and sighed, "Yes, it's really not easy for some people with disabilities. There are not many jobs suitable for them. If they muster up the courage to start a small business, they will be discriminated against and bullied."
He Xu said: "There are a small number of people in society who are prejudiced against people with disabilities. They have an inexplicable sense of superiority. Some people bully the weak and fear the strong, and will use people who are weaker than them as objects to vent their emotions. We cannot change their minds, but we can only restrain ourselves, not bully the weak, always have empathy for the vulnerable groups, and be a person with a clear conscience."
Su Xing nodded, "You are right."
He Xu added: "As for that barbecue restaurant, they not only bullied the disabled, but also had many other problems. They should be thoroughly investigated. I will call the Market Supervision Administration tomorrow and report the situation to them."
Su Xing curved his eyes and said with a smile: "I think so too."
At this time, the garlic crayfish they had just ordered was served.
He Xu continued his work as a shrimp peeler.
They finished their meal, paid the bill and left.
He Xu sends Su Xing back to school.
Su Xing has classes tomorrow, and he also has a lot of things to do, so he needs to go to bed early.
What He Xu didn't know was that after Su Xing returned to school, it was impossible for her to go to bed, and she had to continue rolling.
The girls from Dormitory 306 are still in the study room and haven't come back yet.
Su Xing flipped through several books related to the appreciation and restoration of ancient calligraphy and paintings, and prepared to find a study room to study some.
Some of the books were borrowed by her recently from the library.
However, reading books can only increase theoretical knowledge. She felt that when she has time, she should find some antique calligraphy and paintings to practice, and then restore the landscape painting that is suspected to be the work of Dai Jin.
She stayed in the study room until after two o'clock, then returned to the dormitory, quietly took a shower, washed up, and went to bed to rest.
In the next two days, Su Xing and his roommates were busy attending classes and looking forward to the arrival of the National Day holiday.
On the last afternoon of September, Xia Xiaokui suddenly sent a message to Su Xing.
Xiao Kui: "Hi, wake up beautiful, are you free tonight? Can we have dinner together?"
After class, Su Xing saw Xiao Kui's message. She was moved and replied immediately.
Is it okay to not wake up? "It's convenient, where can we meet? I'll find you."
Xia Xiaokui quickly sent an address to Su Xing.
Xiao Kui: "There's a new store here. My colleague said the environment is nice. Shall we go try it?"
The location she chose was between their publishing house and Peking University, so if they set out at the same time, they would arrive at about the same time.
Is it okay not to wake up? "Sure."
Xiao Kui: "Then see you at six in the evening?"
Can I not wake up? "Okay, see you tonight."
The two of them temporarily ended their chat, and Su Xing continued to his next class.
After finishing her afternoon class, Su Xing told her roommates in the dormitory group that they didn’t have to wait for her for dinner.
Afterwards, she went back to the dormitory, changed her clothes, tidied herself up briefly, and went out.
Su Xing and Xia Xiaokui arrived at the agreed hotel one after the other.
The two sat down and ordered food. While waiting for the food to be served, Xia Xiaokui took something out of her bag and handed it to Su Xing.
"This is a sample book of the Luoyang Museum's anthropomorphic picture album of cultural relics. Take a look. What do you think?"
When Xia Xiaokui contacted her today, Su Xing roughly guessed what it was about.
But she was still very surprised at this moment.
She took the album from Xia Xiaokui and said with a smile, "Okay, let me take a look."
Xia Xiaokui said: "This is the final proofreading stage. We have all read it. You can read it again. If you think it is OK, we will prepare for listing."
In fact, in most cases, the proofreading of picture albums, text books, etc. does not require the author to participate in the proofreading.
But Su Xing is in Beijing, so it is convenient to contact her, and her popularity on the Internet is increasing. Whether it is because of Xia Xiaokui's personal appreciation of Su Xing or the publisher's expectations, she hopes to keep in touch with Su Xing more often and maintain a good relationship.
Su Xing first looked at the name on the cover of the album - "Lobo: Cultural Relics Personified, the Beauty of Cultural Relics"
It is simple and clear enough.
The cover is made of cardboard, and there is a sealing box that looks like a gift box. It is very exquisite and heavy.
She took out the picture album from the box and flipped through it page by page.
The texture of the inner pages is very good and the colors are very accurate. There is almost no color difference from the drawings she submitted, and the printing is very good.
She quickly flipped through the album and saw that the final price was eighty-eight yuan.
She raised her eyebrows: Wow! The price is more than double that of her last album!
Xia Xiaokui noticed that Su Xing's eyes fell on the price, so she smiled and said, "The cost of this kind of gift box album is much higher than that of text books, so the price will be higher. The environmental protection album you published last time was priced at only 42 yuan because it was a public welfare book."
"Yeah, I know." Su Xing nodded and said, "I've finished reading the album. It's pretty good. I didn't find any problems."
In addition to photos of cultural relics and corresponding anthropomorphic paintings of cultural relics, this album also contains relevant text introductions.
Su Xing read the pages very quickly and read all the text without finding any typos or grammatical errors.
Xia Xiaokui smiled and said, "That's good. We have discussed it with the Luoyang Museum. The album will be officially released on October 10th. We will release pre-launch information on Weibo in a few days. Remember to forward it."
In fact, Wu Yu from Luoyang Museum contacted them several times, hoping to launch the picture album during the National Day holiday. Unfortunately, they had a lot of preparation work to do in the early stages, including review, book number assignment, content proofreading, typesetting, evaluation and pricing, printing, etc., and they really couldn't make it in time for the National Day holiday.
However, she believes in Su Xing's strength, and even if it is not launched during the holidays, the sales will not be bad.
Su Xing said: "Okay, if you guys post on Weibo, just @ me and I will retweet it."
The food they ordered was served one after another, and the two of them ate and chatted.
"I got you ten sample books. I'll mail them to your school in a few days."
"That's great. Thank you."
Ten sample books are a lot, but definitely not enough for Su Xing to give away to her family and friends. She plans to wait until the album is on the market and buy some more with her own money to give away.
"By the way, the sales of your last album have reached nearly 120,000 copies. It's really amazing that an environmental album can have such sales."
Su Xing said modestly: "It's also because our publishing house has done a good job in promotion."
"It's mainly your own credit." Xia Xiaokui added, "I should be able to settle a sum of royalties for you before your winter vacation."
Su Xing smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it~"
Xia Xiaokui had already seen how much Su Xing ate. Su Xing was not reserved at this meal and ate very well.
After dinner, the two said goodbye to each other and left.
The sample book that Xia Xiaokui brought was given directly to Su Xing.
After Su Xing got on the subway, he took a photo of the album in his hand and sent it to He Xu.
Can I not wake up? "My second album is about to be released~"
Can you not wake up: "Congratulate me!"
