Article 36 Publication fee

In a blink of an eye, it's six o'clock in the afternoon.

It's time to get off work.

"Wang Shang, I'm leaving first."

Bin Wei closed the computer, took away her bag and mobile phone, and said hello to Wang Shang with a smile before leaving.

"You go first, I'll wait." Wang Shang smiled and nodded.

This has been their daily routine these days. After get off work, they rarely walk together.

Maybe Bin Wei would think that Wang Shang had given up his attempt on her.

But no, Wang Shang has been craving for her body.

He looked up at Bin Wei twisting her charming peach buttocks under her jeans, walking away with her long legs in a step that resembled a stage step.

"It's so big!" Wang Shang sighed, not talking about the buttocks but the breasts.

Coupled with her small waist and peach butt, she is really stunning.

"What are you looking at? Shang Shang." At this time, Wu Xinyue walked past Wang Shang with a smile.

"I didn't see anything." Wang Shang was startled and quickly looked away, looking a little embarrassed.

"Let's go first." Wu Xinyue laughed and walked away.

Wang Shang looked at his female colleague walking away and replied: "I'm almost there too."

At 6:10, the younger people in the office were basically gone, and only Ye Gong and a few middle-aged uncles were still struggling.

They are people who never finish their work and always need to stay and work overtime.

There's no way around it, that's how designers work. They are completely different from those designers on TV who always have time to fall in love.

"Fortunately, I am out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Wang Shang walked to the stairs after get off work and looked back at the office. He smiled inwardly when he saw a few middle-aged uncles still focused on their computers.

After leaving the company gate and returning to his dormitory, Wang Shang suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he went to Yangcheng to find a job after resigning from Zhonglin and returning home.

At that time, Wang Shang had just started writing novels.

He found a job specializing in renderings.

It is an interior design company, a very small company, it can be called a studio.

The boss and employees are all in the same office area, very close to each other, less than three meters away.

He remembered that on the third day of work, after finishing two urgent renderings for the day, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

It takes him about an hour and a half to get back to where he lives and half an hour to eat.

After two hours spent in this way, after eleven o'clock, he still had one hour to write a chapter of about 2,000 words before twelve o'clock, and continue to update the novel.

But when Wang Shang was about to leave, his boss suddenly found Wang Shang and asked him to stay up late tonight in the office to continue to produce the remaining renderings. Forget it, stay up late, the most terrifying thing is that he has to continue working the next morning

Make pictures.

It is equivalent to saying that after staying up late, he goes to work all morning the next day, then takes a nap for about two hours at noon, then gets up and goes back to work.

This comes back and forth, one day and a half, who can bear it?

In an instant, Wang Shang was in trouble.

Designers often work overtime, Wang Shang knew, but he really didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

At that time, he was still faced with a choice.

One side is work and the other side is novel, how does he choose?

If he chooses to stay up late at work, he will definitely not have time to write novels and keep them updated every day.

If he chooses to write novels, his job will definitely be gone.

If your boss asks you to work overtime and you refuse, then how could your boss still want you?

At that time, Wang Shanggang had not yet made any money writing novels, and he did not have a lot of money.

In that job, although the basic salary was only 4,500 per month, the commission for one rendering was 800.

If the project can be completed in one month, the salary of 7,000 to 8,000 yuan will be easy.

In short, the situation at that time was that on the one hand, I had a stable income, and on the other hand, I had no hope yet and could only rely on my love for novels.

If it were another person, he might choose to stay up late and work under pressure from reality.

After all, writing novels is unstable and uncertain.

But what Wang Shang didn't expect was that he didn't hesitate or struggle much at that time. He told the boss directly on the spot that I wouldn't be coming tomorrow.

The boss was stunned by Wang Shang at that time.

What do you mean, if I ask you to work overtime, you will just quit. Are young people today so rigid? The boss will fire him if he disagrees with you.

The boss at that time must have been complaining in his heart.

But he would definitely not say this. Instead, he was very concerned and quickly asked Wang Shang if he was too tired. He also asked Wang Shang to go back and take a rest early. There was no need to work overtime tonight. He could just come back tomorrow. There was no need to leave directly.

The boss tried his best to show the humanity of the company at that time.

But once you say something about resigning and leaving, there is no room for reversal.

Wang Shang, who was born in the design industry, how could he not understand the normality of this industry and it is impossible not to work overtime.

If you don't accept overtime work, your boss will be less likely to want to employ you. Wang Shang is self-aware of this.

Moreover, the boss was not really trying to keep him, but was using this move to win over other people who were still working in the company.

Let them see, you see, our company is still very humane. If you are tired and don’t want to work overtime, that’s fine. We don’t force it.

But everyone who understands understands that if you don’t work overtime to make money, what do you want to do?

Therefore, Wang Shang at that time decisively refused to leave.

The boss didn't say much and just asked Wang Shang to go back and think about it carefully.

"I was also brave back then." Looking back on the choice he made at that time, Wang Shang smiled inwardly.

When there is an irreconcilable conflict between work and writing novels.

Wang Shang must give up work and novels.

At that time, Wang Shang never thought that he would choose novels and give up his job.

It was also at that time that Wang Shang truly understood the place that writing novels occupied in his heart.

Since then, Wang Shang has not looked for a job. It was not until the novel was published that he received royalties. His life finally recovered and he was able to survive and have the confidence to give it a try.



Go back to dorms.

Along the way, Wang Shang rethought his thoughts on choosing novels, and he discovered that writing novels is still what he likes most now and can do for the rest of his life.

This made his whole person suddenly change his mental state.

The concept of looking at things seems to have become a little indifferent, and the whole person has a feeling of being detached from other things.

Wang Shang thought it was because compared with others, he knew that his life now and in the future would be very good.

He has no worries about money and still has things he likes to do.

Both body and mind are free.

That's why he felt that he had a sense of transcendence.



the next day.

Number eleven.

Friday.

At noon, Wang Shang came back from dinner, took out his mobile phone and opened Writer Assistant. He clicked quickly on the screen with his two thumbs, and lines of words appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.

"Ding!"

At this time, the phone vibrated, and a short message appeared on the top of the screen. It was a text message from work?

Wang Shang stopped, smiled, and immediately opened the text message.

"[ICBC] Your account with the last number 6774 completed the transfer transaction of RMB 92712.34 at 12:00 on June 25, with a balance of 103236.34."

92,712.34 yuan, which is the same as when Wang Shang was on the 3rd. In addition to the 10,000 yuan borrowed and his own money, Wang Shang's current deposit has exceeded 100,000 yuan.

"This is over 100,000!" Wang Shang murmured to himself.

I knew it before, but it still feels different if I don’t actually see the money.

Now, when there is really 100,000 yuan on the bank card, Wang Shang can't calm down at all.

Boom! Boom! Boom... Wang Shang was sitting on the chair, leaning forward against the table. His heart was beating very hard, and he felt that the sound of his heartbeat could be heard from the entire table.

Wang Shang's face was a little flushed, and he was staring at the text message on the screen of his mobile phone, with a smile on his face that he was not even aware of.

Excited.

happy.

Trance.

relieved.

All kinds of emotions were swirling in Wang Shang's mind. After having the system, he thought he would not be excited about money. The reality was that he became excited after seeing the reward money turned into real money and deposited into his bank card.

This is one hundred thousand!

This is the first time he has so much money.

In his previous life, Wang Shang's parents took out a loan of RMB 80,000 to buy a car, but they never paid it back for seven years. They had to borrow money from others every year to repay the loan, and then borrow money from others to pay back the loan.

This cycle goes back and forth until next year, when Wang Shang pays out 15,000 yuan, his mother transfers the underwear store he opened in his hometown, and his father, who is nearly 50 years old, comes here for more than half a year of treatment for his lumbar disc herniation.

After working hard, I finally raised enough money to pay off the loan before the Chinese New Year.

As soon as the loan was paid off, Wang Shang saw that his parents looked different. They felt like they were debt-free. Only those who have taken out a loan can understand how happy it is to be free from debt.

This shows that his parents are tortured a lot by the 80,000 yuan loan every year.

Of course, Wang Shang and his brother are responsible for this.

If it weren't for the fact that a total of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan was spent on the two brothers' education each year, the 80,000 yuan loan would not have tortured his parents for so long.

But there is no way, this is the helplessness of ordinary families.

The money you earn is never enough to spend, it’s good to be able to maintain the status quo.

It is very difficult to save 70,000 to 80,000 yuan after eliminating all expenses. At least you have to earn more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan a year.

Obviously, Wang Shang's parents no longer have this ability.

So, one hundred thousand is really a lot.

At least for an ordinary family like the Wang Shang family, one hundred thousand yuan is sometimes a huge barrier, and it takes a lot of effort and eight or nine years to get over it.

But now, it only took Wang Shang one month to settle the loan that had tortured his parents for seven or eight years.
