The holidays for surrounding colleges and universities are quite uniform, and most of them are concentrated in the last three to five days. So when Lu Li walked to the Internet cafe she usually went to with her bag on her back, she discovered that there was no room on the first floor!

She was not in a good mood to begin with, but now she could only admit that she was unlucky when she saw this scene.

There are private rooms on the second floor, but they are expensive!

She is no longer shy about her typing speed now, and can naturally save money. After all, she has had no income for several months. The magazine's manuscript fees have been paid out gradually, and now she has decided not to write.

To make this decision, Lu Li used the excuse that she was reviewing before the exam and could not fail the exam again this year.

But after making the decision, she still felt sad for a long time.

Why is it that the magazines I encounter are so unreliable, while Ding Wei’s is so good?

…

Because of this incident, she was not in a good mood during this period, but she didn't have any close friends in school. She went out early and came back late, and she didn't even have time to vent. If her post on the Tianya Haijiao forum hadn't still been written,

I'm afraid she's going to have trouble holding it in right now.

But now, even life is difficult for me.

Lu Li visited three Internet cafes, but she didn't know whether it was due to luck or something else, but there was no empty seat!

Isn't the first thing you should do during the holidays to go home?

She stood at the door of the Internet cafe, feeling very uncomfortable.

But then she remembered that she was now homeless, and her father pretended not to see her mother's attitude. Her brother and sister-in-law were full of hostility towards her, and her younger brother couldn't count on her...

That home is no longer home.

The world is so big that there is no place for her!

Lu Li gritted her teeth and decided to follow the example of other classmates and stay overnight at the Internet cafe.

Otherwise, if I just use the money I have to rent a house, where will it be enough?

…

In fact, she had clearly planned this afternoon. She would wander around the area in the evening to see which places were still recruiting workers and offering accommodation.

Unfortunately, before she could implement it, she overheard the conversation between Ding Wei and the others at the door of the dormitory.

We were all students, and we were in the same dormitory. Everyone started discussing the house, but she couldn't even pay for the rent. This comparison was so cruel that it burned her sanity instantly.

Lu Li couldn't explain her current state of mind.

She always felt that the other three people in the dormitory were talking bad about her all the time, but based on her understanding of Ding Wei and Bai Shanshan, she thought it was impossible rationally.

But no matter what, I still can't help but chase all kinds of information about them...

This complex emotion made her extremely entangled. At this moment, all the time, she didn't want to lose to them.

…

In the end, Lu Li had no choice but to stay overnight.

It was my first time to book a night at an Internet cafe. Because there was no room available, I specifically asked for a private room. It cost 20 yuan a night, which was much more expensive than downstairs!

But there was nothing she could do.

But private rooms also have advantages. At least there is no one yelling around, and there is no choking smell of cigarette smoke. You don't have to worry about someone seeing what you are doing and laughing at you.

She sat on the stool, now skillfully turned on the phone, took out her notebook from her bag, and suddenly felt a little confused again——

What did they say when they were discussing in the dormitory just now?

What did Chen Siyu say?

"I will live in Shanshan's house this year, and Ding Wei's house next year. Will she have to buy a house the year after that..."

etc!

When did Ding Wei have a home in Imperial Capital?

Isn’t she also from a small town?

Moreover, where did she get the money to buy a house?!

After all, the living expenses for both of them were not enough at the beginning of school. At that time, she felt that even if she was an only child, Ding Wei was no better than herself, and she was secretly happy for a long time.

Unfortunately, this happiness did not last long. When Ding Wei received her first royalties of several thousand yuan, it seemed destined that the two of them would not walk on the same path.

——Fees!!!

…

At this moment, Lu Li felt as if she had received an electric shock.

She opened the computer in a panic, and now her fingers were on the keyboard, not knowing what to do.

After thinking for a while, I opened the school forum again.

"Take a guess, how much does Jing Ran Wenxian's manuscript fee cost?"

A line of words was typed in the publishing box, but it was not sent out directly. Lu Li pursed her lips, clicked on the search box again, and typed the words "fee".

I want to discuss this in the forum and see if anyone has mentioned this.

really.

Not long after pressing the Enter key, several posts appeared on the page.

It’s not talking about how much royalties it paid for a certain article to be published in newspapers, or how much royalties it paid for serialization in so-and-so magazines...

The Chinese Department of their school still produces many writers every year.

I scrolled down the posts and finally found one about discussing Jingran Youlian’s monthly contribution fee.

…

[I envy my goddess so much, she is so beautiful and talented, and her royalties are huge!]

Content: It’s hard to ask about other people’s privacy when it comes to this kind of thing, but according to my discussions with my friends, I learned that Jing Ran Youlian is considered a top writer in their magazine, and the minimum contribution fee for a thousand words is 120!

Let’s take a look at the two books she is currently serializing. Together they contain 180,000 words per month.

After all, the goddess can earn at least 20,000 yuan a month!

No wonder the goddess has become more and more beautiful recently, and she dresses so beautifully and stylishly... I really want to have such a skill, but if it doesn't work, please make my face look better.

…

There are a bunch of posts at the bottom lamenting that you can obviously rely on your looks, but you have to rely on your talent.

Lu Li stared at this page blankly, not knowing how to feel at this moment.

A month...20,000 yuan?!

She thought that the 6,000 yuan royalties for the original book was the peak!

But think about it, it is said that the first story only had 100,000 words written. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the story is, but I guess it is not very good as a practice work.

However, you can earn 6,000 yuan from a writing work. Now, it is normal for a long novel that is being serialized to earn 20,000 yuan a month!

Lu Li kept building herself up mentally, but the more she thought about it, the more the flames of jealousy licked her heart.

Six thousand dollars!

She wrote so many words, but she didn't earn 6,000 yuan!

Think about it, there is a gap of nearly ten times between fifteen thousand words and one hundred and two thousand words!

She has such an income, and she must be laughing at herself every day when she sees herself immersed in writing with a meager royalties!

…

Lu Li calculated it silently in her heart.

Ding Wei probably started submitting articles in October, which means the magazine has been serialized for eight or nine months.

With 20,000 yuan a month, she already has at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan on hand!

No wonder Chen Siyu said something about having a house...

She must have bought a house in the imperial capital, why should she take out a loan...

Although she vaguely felt that it was hard to accept taking out a loan, the fact that the other party owned a house was enough to make Lu Li burn inside and out!

Why!

Why are all the good things in the world concentrated on her head?

She held the mouse, and countless thoughts were running around in her mind. She didn't know what to think for a moment.

But soon, an idea flashed in Lu Li's mind.

——Her family also has a house, and her family also has a house in the imperial capital!

…

Didn’t her mother say that during the Chinese New Year?

Her brother has a house given by the big boss!
