Fang Quan slammed the door and left, but Jiang Shuiyuan felt a big rock in his heart: now he had thrown the hot potato to Fang Quan and Wu Qifei. As for the final result, it depends on their decision, and it has nothing to do with him.

However, Jiang Shuiyuan doesn’t care much about the result. It is best to sign a contract with "Cultivation", but it doesn’t matter if you don’t sign a contract and don’t win an award. Can’t you go to a good university if you don’t have points in the new concept composition competition? Jiang Shuiyuan doesn’t believe it! Besides, isn’t there any guarantee for Guo Siming and Guo Dashao? Although "The Youngest" is not comparable to "Cultivation" in the short term, writing a few articles a month will at least not worry about not having pocket money!

Jiang Shuiyuan took a pleasant bath, and read a few more pages of "Re-analysis: Visualization Methods" at the same time, and then happily chatted with Zhou Gong. The next morning, he continued to get up in a daze for morning exercises, have breakfast, and then packed up his things to check out and go home. Only at this time did he feel that it was a bit regretful to not get a prize and go back empty-handed.

Jiang Shuiyuan was sad for less than two minutes before he heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he saw Wu Qifei, Fang Quan and a middle-aged man with a bald head stood outside the door. Fang Quan saw Jiang Shuiyuan packing his luggage and his face became more gloomy: "Why is the classmate Jiang so anxious to leave? Isn't there an award ceremony in the morning and a lunch party at noon?"

"It's just a shortlisted prize, it doesn't matter whether you receive it or not." Jiang Shuiyuan let them into the room and began to pack up his things. "As for the lunch party, let's forget it! A shortlisted prize is mixed with a bunch of first prizes and second prizes. I'm afraid it's not good to eat dragon meat. If you can't control your emotions, wouldn't it be a shame to sit alone? It's better to go to the train station to have instant noodles!"

Wu Qifei glared at Fang Quan fiercely, and Fang Quan was shocked and even suspected that all the prize money this year would be ruined. Then Wu Qifei smiled and said to Jiang Shuiyuan: "Who said you won the finalist award? The results of the competition have not been announced yet, and I don't even know your grades. How could you know? Student Jiang must not spread rumors to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings! As for what you asked Editor-in-Chief Fang to lead, I have already learned that although you and I have a big difference in the signing conditions, as long as we are interested in cooperation, no matter how big the differences are, we can sit down!"

"Is that true?" Jiang Shuiyuan stopped his work, "What if the conditions I mentioned were the final terms?"

Wu Qifei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When I was having a meal last time, I heard from my classmate Jiang that he had done a few days in business. Then you should know how the merchant asks for prices and how customers bargain? The so-called 'sky asking prices, paying money on the spot' is like this. There are both deals and highs, but if you want to start a business, you have to make concessions in the end. The same is true for our cooperation. The conditions must be to make both parties satisfied, and it is impossible to completely accommodate one party. What do you think?"

"What about your magazine's conditions?" Jiang Shuiyuan asked back.

Wu Qifei looked around and said, "I don't think this is a place to talk about things. Otherwise, you pack your things and take our car back to the magazine. Let's talk slowly on the way. The next to me is Mr. Jiang Dongben, a famous lawyer in intellectual property protection. If you have any questions, you can consult him at any time. In this way, we don't have to worry about missing the award ceremony, or we can immediately hand it over to Mr. Jiang to draw up an agreement after reaching an agreement to avoid delaying your return. How about it?"

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll take the luxury car of President Wu!"

Before getting on the bus, Jiang Shuiyuan had already made up his mind that he could pay more manuscripts and less royalties. He could even give up part of the copyright of the work if necessary, but the obligation terms and age terms are never compatible. Because once he agrees to these two items, it is equivalent to putting a rein on himself and sending him to prison, and there is no freedom in the contract period.

Unexpectedly, these two terms are the core of the insistence of the "Gengyun" magazine. Wu Qifei repeatedly guaranteed that the obligation clause was to cooperate with publicity activities, and the age clause was to protect the interests of writers and magazines. Fang Quan also spoke on the side. As for lawyer Jiang Dongben, he quoted the classics, from the "Wucheng People Protection Regulations" to the "Women and Children's Rights Protection Act", from the latest explanation of the "Copyright Protection Act" to the "Gengyun" magazine's charter, there is only one central argument, that is, these two terms are beneficial to Jiang Shuiyuan without any harm.

However, Jiang Shuiyuan had already eaten the weight of weights - he was determined to say that he was full of money. Even if he offered a price of 1500 yuan, he would never let go as long as he involved obligations and years. He was forced to use his trump card: "Since that's the case, forget it, I decided not to sign it!" Anyway, the manuscript he wrote was that the emperor's daughter would not have to worry about marrying. Could it be that without Zhang, the butcher Zhang of the magazine "Gengyun", he would have to eat a pig in a row?

It seems that after Hanshu, Guo Siming and others ran away, the "Gengyun" magazine was indeed a little unresponsive. Whenever Jiang Shuiyuan said "not to sign", Wu Qifei would quickly rescue the venue and said, "Student Jiang, don't rush to refuse. What can't be negotiated and resolved? Since this issue cannot be agreed upon, let's put it aside for the time being and continue to discuss other conditions!" Then, after a few words, they would relate to these two terms.

The two sides argued back and forth, and continued to the downstairs of the magazine, but still no agreement was reached. Jiang Shuiyuan got out of the car with his suitcase and asked Wu Qifei with a smile: "President Wu, should I win the shortlisted award this time?"

Wu Qifei twitched his lips and smiled stiffly, "What is this what Student Jiang said? All the award results of the New Concept Composition Competition are collectively negotiated and decided by the review committee and handed over to the notary office for notarization and archived. The procedures are fair and transparent, and the results are fair and reasonable. As the president, Wu neither can nor can he interfere with the award results, so please don't joke casually."

"Is that right?" Jiang Shuiyuan said as he looked at Fang Quan meaningfully, as if questioning: Didn't you say yesterday that everything was decided by your magazine? Why is President Wu saying that he cannot interfere with the award results now? Fang Quan was so scared that he almost jumped out and proved his innocence.

"Of course!" Wu Qifei replied with great certainty.

Jiang Shuiyuan seemed to believe Wu Qifei's answer: "If I won the finalist award, the two articles I wrote during the competition should not have been published in the magazine "Gengyun"? President Wu should know that I have a good memory and I can almost remember what I want to remember. So I want to write down those two articles and send them to Professor Tong Tianshen Tong of Peking Normal University, Professor Cao Wendao of Zhendan University, Director Ma Qingsheng of Jinling University, and others. Please help me modify them to see if I can change the table. I wonder if it is possible?"

In fact, since Fang Quan left last night, Jiang Shuiyuan began to doubt whether Fang Quan took away his two articles that day and had actually handed them over to the review committee. Because this is the best tool to threaten the candidates to submit!

Although Wu Qifei said that the new concept composition competition is "fair and transparent in the process, and fair and reasonable in the result", ordinary people can guess with their knees that a small number of related users must be mixed in the list of winners. After all, this is directly related to the extra points in the college entrance examination. Some people with great hands and eyes will always find Wu Qifei and ask him to help him a little. Can he not agree? Do he dare not agree?

It is estimated that the group of judges also knew about these things, but as long as Wu Qifei did not overdo it, they turned a blind eye after receiving the review fee and pretended that nothing had happened. But if Jiang Shuiyuan sent the essay to the group of old professors who had originally wanted to recruit him, and even went directly online, they all had the arrogance of being infected by the ivory tower, and they would definitely not stand the blatant manipulation of the competition results of the "Gengyun" magazine, and might have made a statement that they had not read these two articles during the review.

Will those other small and medium-sized magazines that have been suppressed by "Cultivation" add to the fire? Will those simple and irritable netizens be excited? Nowadays, being handsome is just!

Wu Qifei could no longer laugh at this time, and his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping: "Student Jiang, it's nearly half an hour before the award ceremony, and the content of our cooperation has not been finalized yet. Why don't we go to the office to discuss it for a while and have a cup of tea? Anyway, you are not in a hurry!"

Jiang Shuiyuan shook his head: "Thank you, President Wu! It's just that I didn't agree on it all the way. I don't think it's time to sit in your office for a while, and just have a cup of tea to make a turn around and make a contract immediately. I met a few friends during the competition. I guess it's hard to meet again after noon today, so I want to go over and chat with them for a while. President Wu, you should be very busy, right? Why don't we just leave here!"

Wu Qifei's face turned gloomy and sunny, and finally gritted his teeth: "The contract terms are as you wish!"

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't expect that Wu Qifei made a concession at the last moment, and was a little confused for a moment: "According to what I mean?"

"Yes, if you have no questions, follow what we agreed on in the car, if you have any questions, follow what you want! How about it, let's go to the office to formulate terms and sign the contract?" Wu Qifei felt a little unwilling to listen to it, "Student Jiang Shuiyuan, you are the author who has made the most concessions since I took charge of the magazine. I hope you won't make me feel regretful in the future!"

"Don't worry, President, I will try my best to satisfy you and the magazine!" Jiang Shuiyuan replied.
