In the second half of 1979, Qiao Yicheng became a senior high school student and was sprinting for the college entrance examination with his classmates.

It's just that Qiao Yicheng is mainly just showing off. With his own abilities and the support of the system, it is very easy to get high scores in the college entrance examination.

In the second semester of the second year of high school, that is, in the first half of 1979, the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University came forward to help Qiao Yicheng send the manuscript of "Harry Potter", and Qiao Yicheng has been waiting patiently. After all, China and the United States are far apart.

It is far away, and the dissemination of news is not very convenient.

Qiao Yicheng is very confident that his novel "Harry Potter" will be valued by two publishing houses, so he doesn't seem too anxious.

Sure enough, Qiao Yicheng soon received a response from Xuele Publishing House in the United States, and the other party sent special staff to Nanjing to sign a contract with Qiao Yicheng.

"Classmate Yicheng, these two are Mr. David, the representative of Xuele Publishing House in the United States, and Miss Linda, the legal affairs clerk of Xuele Publishing House."

"Hello you two! Welcome to Nanjing, China!

I am Suning, the author of "Harry Potter."" After hearing Principal Su's introduction, Qiao Yicheng directly introduced himself in English.

"Oh! My God!

Didn't expect the author of "Harry Potter" to be so young?

We all thought Suning was a middle-aged English teacher in China!

Oh my God! This is so incredible!" David, the representative of Scholastic Press, and Linda, the legal staff, both looked at each other in shock, and then Linda was speechless with emotion.

"Haha, I originally wrote this "Harry Potter" to improve my English skills, but I didn't expect that I would have unexpected gains."

"Oh my God! You Chinese are so talented!

I am surrounded by many outstanding talents from China in the United States.

I just didn't expect that there is a more talented Mr. Suning in China." David also sighed with emotion.

As the principal of the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University, Principal Su's English proficiency is determined to be passable. Of course, he can understand the English conversation between Qiao Yicheng and David. He is really very proud of Qiao Yicheng. This is their High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University.

of pride.

"Haha, Mr. David was so complimentary!"

"Mr. Suning, let's get down to business!

Your book "Harry Potter" is very valued by our publisher.

We just learned from Principal Su that you have completed the first three parts."

"Haha, now I have completed the two follow-up parts, so I have finished five parts now, and there are two more parts as planned."

"Oh! My God! You are such a prolific genius!

Mr. Suning, may I ask, is there any dispute over the copyright of "Harry Potter"?"

"No! 100% original!"

"That's good! Let's talk about the sharing issue next!

Our American Xuele Publishing House is a world-class publishing house.

If Mr. Suning agrees to cooperate with Xuele Publishing House, he will definitely distribute and disseminate this "Harry Potter" to the greatest extent possible."

"Well! Mr. David, my school and I believe in the strength of your publishing house.

This is why we approached Xuele Publishing House." Qiao Yicheng nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Suning, our Xuele Publishing House has decided to give Mr. Su a 5% income share!"

When Principal Su on the side heard the commission offered by David, his eyes lit up with surprise. He thought that the conditions offered by American Xuele Publishing House were too favorable.

"Haha, Mr. David, are you kidding me?

The fact that I can write this novel in pure English means that I have a good understanding of the actual distribution situation in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Mr. David, if you, Xuele Publishing House, are really sincere, stop treating me like a child!" Unlike Principal Su's surprise, Qiao Yicheng was very dissatisfied.

"This..." David and Linda looked at each other helplessly. They didn't expect the "kid" in front of them to be so difficult to deal with.

Principal Su on the side was also shocked by Qiao Yicheng's direct rejection. However, seeing the reactions of David and Linda, he realized that the two Americans were a little dishonest.

"Mr. Suning, what do you mean?"

"Mr. David, as far as I know, the revenue share offered by your foreign publishing house is between 12.5% ​​and 17.5%.

Because I am a new writer, I only ask for a 15% income share."

"No! Absolutely impossible!

Mr. Suning, you also said that you are just a new writer with no international reputation at all, and the share ratio you mentioned is the treatment of some famous writers in Europe and the United States."

"Haha, to be honest with Mr. David, while we are in contact with Xuele Publishing House, we have been in contact with other major British and American publishing houses.

The story background of "Harry Potter" is set in London, England.

I believe British publishers will be more interested."

"Huh?" Seeing Qiao Yicheng being so difficult to deal with, both David and Linda showed embarrassment on their faces.

"Mr. Suning, the fact that we are able to come to Nanjing, China, thousands of miles away from the United States means that our publishing house is very sincere." Legal Linda saw that the negotiations had reached a deadlock and quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Ms. Linda, your American Xuele Publishing House is willing to come to Nanjing, China, because you see the commercial value of "Harry Potter".

But it does not mean that you are sincere!

So, these are completely two different things!" Qiao Yicheng shook his head disapprovingly.

"..." Both David and Linda looked a little helpless. They really didn't expect Suning to be so reluctant.

At this time, the principal of the High School Affiliated to Nanjing Normal University wanted to speak out to ease the deadlock, but Qiao Yicheng, who discovered the situation, stopped him with his eyes. After reading Qiao Yicheng's eyes, Principal Su swallowed his words helplessly.

Because the differences between the two parties were too great, Xuele Publishing House in the United States actually did not attach much importance to Qiao Yicheng, so the final negotiation failed to reach an agreement.

Watching David and Linda leave, Principal Su couldn't help but look at Qiao Yicheng with complaint, "Classmate Yicheng, the terms offered by Xuele Publishing House are very favorable!

You, a new and unknown writer, should be satisfied!"

"Principal, the British Bloomsbury Publishing House has not responded yet!

Although this British publishing house is relatively small compared to the American Scholastic Publishing House, I look forward to their sincerity even more."

"Hey! Okay! You kid is too stubborn!" After all, the copyright of the novel belongs to Qiao Yicheng, and Principal Su can't decide anything.

...

After David and Linda from Xuele Press left, Qiao Yicheng resumed his daily life again. Because of Qiao Yicheng's years of training, Qiao Erqiang and Sanli became more confident and energetic, and no longer

It’s as sad as in the original drama!

Seeing that his years of hard work had finally yielded some results, Qiao Yicheng was still very pleasantly surprised, but he still did not dare to relax, because some things had too much inertia, and it was difficult to predict that the four younger siblings would not go back to theirs.

old road.

"Brother, what delicious food should we make today?"

"Second Qiang, how come you know what to eat in your head? What else do you think about besides eating?"

"Brother, my grappling skills are also very good now! Not only can I eat!"

"And me! And me!

Brother, my grappling skills are also very good!

Now in school, no one dares to bully me anymore!" Simei on the side also boasted loudly.

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters, Qiao Yicheng couldn't laugh or cry. He really hoped that they could continue to be carefree like this, but this was simply unrealistic. Soon they would grow up and face the cruel reality of their lives.

Because Qiao Yicheng skipped a grade and went to high school, Qi Weimin is still in junior high school. Thinking of his cousin Qiao Yicheng who is getting further and further away from him, Qi Weimin feels very aggrieved.

At first, Qiao Yicheng concealed the matter of skipping high school, but things could never be hidden, and eventually the Qi family found out.

The Qi family who knew the truth were not only shocked and emotional about Qiao Yicheng, but also felt happy for the deceased mother Qiao. After all, any mother would be proud to have such a promising father and son as Qiao Yicheng.

In the past, Qi Weimin had never cared about his cousin Qiao Yicheng, but since Qiao's mother passed away, Qiao Yicheng immediately seemed to be a different person, advancing all the way, leaving Qi Weimin far behind, and Qi Weimin no longer had any thoughts in his heart.

Lost the previous sense of superiority.

"Weimin, can you stand up for your mother and me?

Look at the 10%, the college entrance examination is about to take place!

In this way, if he were admitted to university directly, he would be a sixteen-year-old college student!"

"Shufang, children are different from children!

Can you please stop comparing Weimin and Yicheng all the time?" Qi Zhiqiang was very disgusted with Wei Shufang's competitiveness, which affected the children's mental health.

"Zhiqiang, can you please stop interrupting while I'm educating my children?

How can our family be inferior to Yicheng?

Why can't I compare Weimin and Yicheng?

Could it be that you, a father who has nothing to do with the world, want our children to become useless as well?" Wei Shufang retorted to Qi Zhiqiang disapprovingly.

Seeing that Wei Shufang was arguing with him arrogantly and unreasonably again, Qi Zhiqiang looked at Wei Shufang with disgust, then said nothing and went to hide away.

Seeing the defeated Qi Zhiqiang, Wei Shufang did not intend to give up as soon as the situation was good, and still said sarcastically, "Hey! Hiding again!
