Chapter 296: Huge royalties, typesetting and publishing
Feng Shuang quickly pushed the red envelope back, and Xu Qingluo smiled and put the red envelope back next to the child.
"A welcome gift for the child."
"It's not for you."
Feng Shuang smiled and felt too embarrassed to refuse.
It would be the same if she bought some snacks for Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan to give back as subsidies.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of the child."
Feng Shuang and Captain Shen saw Xu Qingluo and his family of four off.
When each family left, they received a return gift from Feng Shuang's family.
The gifts they received in return were all food made by Aunt Shen, which were the special snacks from their hometown: jiaosu.
It tastes very crispy and fragrant, and it is crispy and fragrant when you take a bite.
Xu Qingluo ate several of them before rinsing his mouth before going to bed.
The two children drank milk from the bottle and fell asleep in a daze.
Xu Qingluo really wanted to wake up the two children and ask them to brush their teeth before going to bed to avoid getting cavities in the future.
But seeing how sleepy the two children were, I had no choice but to give up.
It’s okay to be lazy for a day. After all, it won’t be her who gets cavities and is laughed at by the children in the future.
Xiaoman and Xiaoyuan: “…”
Our good mother.
.......
.......
In the second month after Xu Qingluo joined the company, good news came from Kyoto Newspaper.
Her manuscript has been completely polished.
The Kyoto Newspaper Company has already done the typeset work and will be officially published next month.
Xu Qingluo has been busy writing articles in the past few months. Together with the articles published before, there are a total of 80 articles and stories.
A total of 1.6 million words.
She made a lot of money just from royalties.
Xu Qingluo earned 4800 yuan from the royalties of a book.
Add to that the benefits given by some Kyoto newspapers during festivals and holidays, and the total amount in cash is quite a large sum.
The Kyoto newspaper called her to discuss the title of the book.
This is Xu Qingluo's first published book, so the name needs careful consideration.
Xu Qingluo struggled for the whole morning and told the Kyoto newspaper the name he had come up with.
The name is: Healing Yourself.
After Kyoto Newspaper and Xu Qingluo decided on the title of the book, they rushed to print it, hoping that it could be successfully released and sold next month.
"Comrade Xu."
"What are you going to write in your next book?"
The Kyoto Newspaper Company intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Xu Qingluo's ideas for his next book.
Xu Qingluo went back to Hai City to visit relatives two months later, and had not really thought about the content of the next book.
"Not sure yet, I'll decide after the New Year."
When the Kyoto Newspaper heard that she had no plans to publish a new book at the moment, they could only make a verbal agreement with Xu Qingluo about their next collaboration.
Kyoto Newspaper’s intention is very clear, that is, they hope Xu Qingluo will give priority to cooperating with Kyoto Newspaper when publishing books in the future.
Moreover, her manuscript fee was increased to five yuan per thousand words, and Kyoto Newspaper showed its sincerity to Xu Qingluo.
“Naturally, this book collaboration went smoothly.”
"For the next book, we will definitely give priority to cooperating with Kyoto Newspaper."
If this book sells well, Xu Qingluo will become famous.
She no longer needs to write articles and publish them in newspapers to gain fame as before, but can directly contract books with newspapers.
"it is good"
"Then we look forward to Comrade Xu's next book."
"it is good."
The two sides reached an agreement and verbally agreed on the next cooperation, and Xu Qingluo also devoted all his energy to the work.
"Advisor Xu, come with me to the interrogation."
Consultant Cheng invited her to join him. The case to be interrogated today was the same case that Xu Qingluo had inquired about when she first joined the company.
The deceased was the daughter-in-law of the head of the Finance Department of the Syracuse government. Today was the time to invite her to the Public Security Bureau for interrogation.
"it is good."
Xu Qingluo was also very interested in this case. Women's gossip and curiosity are the same no matter where they are.
Although Consultant Cheng did not invite him, Xu Qingluo followed him to the interrogation room to find out what was going on without saying a word.
The person being interrogated today is the head of the Finance Department.
Throughout the interrogation, there was no flaw in the other party's answers.
"My daughter-in-law has not been in good health since she gave birth."
"I've been recuperating at home."
"I came home from get off work that day and heard the couple arguing."
"My son rushed out of the room in anger, and soon there was a noise coming from the room."
"My wife and I heard the noise and went into the room to see what was happening."
"I saw my daughter-in-law collapsed on the ground due to a heart attack."
"When we rushed him to the hospital... the doctor said he couldn't be saved."
"Died of a heart attack."
The head of the Finance Department's eyes became red as he spoke.
Especially when she talked about her granddaughter who lost her mother at a young age, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
The director of the Public Security Bureau sighed and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Condolences."
The head of the Finance Department took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his tears, then forced a smile at the director of the Public Security Bureau that was uglier than crying.
"Thank you."
"My daughter-in-law has been dead for several months."
“When will the case be closed?”
"We want to cremate our daughter-in-law's body before the New Year and bring it back to our hometown for burial."
The body of the deceased has been kept in a cold storage room and the forensic doctor performed an autopsy.
The body of the deceased can only be returned to the family after the case is concluded.
"The truth will be revealed before the end of the year."
The head of the Finance Department nodded when he heard the director's words. Xu Qingluo looked at him with an indescribable darkness in his eyes.
"The deceased was married to her husband for 10 years and only had one daughter?"
The head of the Finance Department nodded when he heard Xu Qingluo's question, and his tone was full of heartache when he talked about his granddaughter.
"Yes."
"My little granddaughter is the only child in our family."
"I'm only five years old this year, and I lost my mother."
"Why does my granddaughter have such a miserable life?"
"Why did the deceased and her husband quarrel?"
The head of the Finance Department thought about it and realized that he had just got off work that day and didn't hear it clearly.
He only saw his son run out of the door angrily.
"I just got home from get off work and didn't hear it clearly."
"I just feel sorry for my granddaughter..."
Seeing how sad he looked, Xu Qinglu didn't ask any more questions to avoid hurting him.
"Condolences."
Xu Qingluo only said this one sentence and sat aside in silence.
Consultant Cheng and the Public Security Bureau Director couldn't help but look at her.
After the interrogation, the Public Security Bureau Director called Xu Qingluo and Consultant Cheng to his office.
"What do you think?"
Consultant Cheng shook his head. His answers were pretty much the same in every interrogation.
He really couldn't find any flaws in the other party's lies.
"Counselor Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Qingluo opened his mouth. The Public Security Bureau Chief glanced at the open office door and asked Captain Wu to stand guard outside.
"Sit down and talk."
Xu Qingluo sat down and expressed his doubts and the flaws he observed one by one.
"Director, I remember the head of the Finance Department is the only son in his family."
"Yes, his mother gave birth to seven children in total."
"I only have this one son."
"Later, I got married and had a son with my wife."
"That is, the deceased's husband."
Xu Qingluo nodded.
This means that the deceased and her husband bear the burden of continuing the family line.
