What Zhuo Ziyuan didn't expect was that there would be three more replies in the next half month. They were all replies from women in the second wave of 10. Zhuo Ziyuan was a little surprised. Could it be that girls like to write letters, so why not write them yourself?

Is Xin a bit girly, or do you mean that everyone prefers to have sex with the opposite sex?

However, he already had three pen pals. Zhuo Ziyuan felt that there was no need to have three more pen pals, and they were all girls. It was really unbearable, so he wrote back to the three pen pals, saying that since he had not replied to his previous letters, he had written too much at once.

I have already made three pen pals and officially established contact. My time and energy are limited, so I can only say sorry to her.

In this way, Zhuo Ziyuan has three more pen pals in his life. Although he doesn't really know each other, he can be regarded as a close friend. Qiu, a girl from Hangzhou, writes a letter almost every month, and Maple Leaf, a girl from Dongdu, writes a letter almost every month.

There was one in almost half a month, or it was because it was relatively recent and the postal delivery was faster. Dongdu Nan, Brother Xiaosha, expressed dissatisfaction with Zhuo Ziyuan's quick reply and asked him to delay the reply time, but he

It was difficult to delay there, because his sister was watching and asked him to reply within three days, so he could only hope for Zhuo Ziyuan. Of course, Zhuo Ziyuan had no problem, but she emphasized that he must write some interesting things about his own school or life.

, otherwise it will stop.

This year's high school entrance examination is scheduled for three days from June 15th to 17th. The blackboard at the back of the classroom is gone. There are a few big words written on it, "15 days to the high school entrance examination." The atmosphere in the classroom is already very depressing. Zhuo Zi

Although he was far away, he still went his own way. For him, the tension during the college entrance examination was over. The high school entrance examination was a piece of cake. Moreover, he was very confident in the high school entrance examination. With the last 20 days before the exam, the teacher of the third grade of junior high school announced that he did not need to go to school for evening self-study.

You can just review at home. It also allows students to adjust their mentality and not to be in school all day long, which will cause their mood to be too depressed. There is no need to go to class to review on Saturdays. Instead, students can rest at home for two days and review freely.

At dinner time that day, Lu Tao from the law firm came to visit and had dinner at Zhuo Ziyuan's house. Although it was simple, it was enough to make him full. After dinner, the two went to Zhuo Ziyuan's study to talk about things.

Zhuo Ziyuan's second book, The Pillow Book of Three Lives and Three Worlds, was actually completed very early. He just needed to give Shili Peach Blossoms a certain fermentation time, so he gave the manuscript of the second book to Lu Tao more than half a month ago and asked him to work on it.

After communicating with the publishing house about the publishing fee, Lu Tao finally negotiated a 10% royalty, and the first batch of 100,000 copies will be published, and an additional 50,000 copies of Shili Peach Blossom will be added. Today Lu Tao brought the contract negotiated with the publishing house.

, asked Zhuo Ziyuan to sign.

"Mr. Zhuo, I think you should just buy a mobile phone. It's really inconvenient for us to communicate like this. How about I give you one of the law firm's mobile phones?" This is a topic Lu Tao talks about every time he sees Zhuo Ziyuan, although

Every time Zhuo Ziyuan said there was no rush, but if he urged him a few more times, he might let Zhuo Ziyuan buy a mobile phone in advance, which would be much more convenient for him, right?

Zhuo Ziyuan thought, now that he is still in junior high school, it is always inconvenient to hold a mobile phone. Letting his classmates see it also goes against Zhuo Ziyuan's original intention of keeping a low profile. Moreover, current mobile phones cannot even send text messages because they do not support Chinese input.

If you have to make a direct call for anything, it would be better to use a landline. Moreover, the styles of mobile phones nowadays are really not flattering. They are all the same as mobile phones, and there is something like an antenna. Zhuo Ziyuan feels that he can't stand it.

In addition, apart from Lu Tao, there was no one else he needed to contact via mobile phone, so no matter what Lu Tao said, he decided not to buy a mobile phone for the time being.

"The mobile phone is too ugly. I will buy it when a good-looking mobile phone comes out. By the way, I have something to ask. Should I have to pay taxes on my income?"

"Theoretically, yes, the tax on manuscript fees is basically about 14%, but we still have many ways to avoid tax." Lu Tao said softly. In fact, he had thought about this issue for a long time, but as an employer, he would not mention it.

It's good to take the initiative to mention this kind of thing.

"No, just pay the taxes according to the national regulations. You can help me handle it. I will also make up for what I haven't paid before. Of course, it means there is a formal contract to check." Zhuo Ziyuan didn't want to give people any clues. Taxation is a thing.

Small is small, but big can be big. Moreover, my income should be higher in the future, and my taxes will not be small. Once someone stabs me, it will be a trouble even if it is investigated seriously. It is better to solve it in advance.

, many people in later generations fell from the altar obviously because of tax matters.

"Okay, I will handle it in the past. In the future, we can actually stipulate in the contract directly that the other party will help pay the tax and then transfer the remaining money to your account." Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ziyuan thought, wouldn't this be more convenient?

If you want to check, you don’t need to check yourself. The contract clearly stipulates that you can just check the other party. “Okay, that’s it.”

"I actually have a few things to do here today. One is from Poly King. I want to know if you have any new music works. They hope to continue to cooperate with you. The second one is that there is a local music group, it should be Fu Er.

I'm here to buy the works for fun at a high price, so I'm here to ask if you are interested."

"The second thing is, I'm not interested. Who knows what their level is. Don't ruin a good song. As for Polykin, just reply to them. My studies are more important now, and my creation will be put on hold. But as long as there are works to be released,

We will definitely notify them. After all, we have such a good foundation for cooperation, but the conditions need to be renegotiated."

"Of course, we let them get the benefit this time, and we will have a reason to raise conditions next time. Okay, I'll leave first. You have to prepare for the high school entrance examination now, so have a good night's rest."

"Wait a minute, there is one more thing." Zhuo Ziyuan thought about his preparations for publishing Twilight in the United States. Jueji was almost finished. He could write Twilight at the beginning of the summer vacation. Zhuo Ziyuan felt that it was time.

Talk to Lu Tao about overseas publishing and let him prepare in advance. At least some contacts need to be communicated in advance.

"I plan to spend a year writing a novel in English. Of course I can also write it in Chinese. But I want to publish it directly overseas first, let's say the United States. After the response there is good, I can publish it in China.

Counting export to domestic sales. I still want to hand over this business to your law firm, so I want to ask you if you have any way in this area. If not, I can contact other law firms in advance. This book should be published next year

If it is completed at this time, it will only be earlier than later."

Lu Tao was already very optimistic about Zhuo Ziyuan, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him. He actually wanted to publish an English version of the novel and publish it directly overseas. He was so confident and so ambitious. But after more than half a year of contact, Lu Tao also

Knowing that Zhuo Zi was far from a big talker, and for a client who had earned them nearly 100,000 yuan in half a year and could still cooperate with them for a long time, Lu Tao still felt that they should work harder, otherwise he would not come to deliver the contract in person.

"Okay, I haven't come into contact with this at the moment. I will consult our lawyer in charge of overseas affairs, and I will definitely give Mr. Zhuo a satisfactory answer." Zhuo Ziyuan mentioned to Lu Tao once not to call him Mr. Zhuo, but to call him Mr. Zhuo.
