Xia Tian agreed to sign an exclusive contract, and another consideration was to hope to get closer to Jin Yong.

Because he is not only a famous martial arts novelist, but also a member of the Ming Pao newspaper group. He is highly respected and has deep connections. If he can get his favor, his development path will be much smoother.

Xia Tian heard that he was too Pinhai. He was also not famous back then, but because of his favor from Jin Yong, he became the chairman of Ming Pao Group and quickly climbed to the super rich man in Hong Kong at the speed of a rocket.

Xia Tian does not expect that he can be as lucky as Yu Pinhai. If he can gain a little bit of money in the early stages of his career, he will be very satisfied.

"Okay, the young man is indeed good." Seeing that Xia Tian was not covered by Qian, Jin Yong chose to submit more drafts, and he couldn't help but smile and praise, "Since that's the case, then sign the contract."

Xia Tian nodded, looked through the contract, and confirmed that there was no problem. He picked up the pen and was about to sign it, but suddenly he looked up and asked, "Mr. Cha, I heard that we can pay the manuscript fee in advance, right?"

"Yes, there is such a benefit." Jin Yong nodded and said.

This is also to ensure the life of the authors so that they can focus on their creation. However, after getting the money, many authors only care about spending money, eating, drinking, and having fun, and instead forget the most important "creation" behind their minds.

"Then can I apply first?" Xia Tian asked hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll give you 3,000 yuan first, but the remaining money will be settled for you only after you finish the novel." Jin Yong thought for a while. He has received more than 50,000 words of manuscript, which is worth 4,000 Hong Kong dollars based on 80 thousand words.

"Thank you, Mr. Cha." Xia Tian said with a smile.

Although three thousand yuan is not much, it is enough to pay one month's interest.

"Well, young man, work hard! Remember not to be distracted, so as not to get involved and destroy your martial arts." Jin Yong reminded again.

"I remember Mr. Cha's teachings, so I'll take a step forward today." Xia Tian nodded and said.

...

Holding the note from Jin Yong's instructions, Xia Tian withdrew 3,000 yuan from the accounting department, and then he brought the money to the front desk on the first floor.

"Sister Wanying, I've received the royal fee." He said with a smile.

"Really?! Congratulations." Ren Wanying also said happily for him.

"Can I give you a treat at noon and let me treat you to dinner?" Xia Tian asked with a smile again.

"It's a coincidence that I still have to work hard at noon." Ren Wanying waved her hand and smiled, "Let's do this, I have your contact information anyway. When I have a holiday, I will call you. Then, you can invite me again."

"Well, then that's it." Xia Tian nodded.

...

Leaving Ming Pao Building, I took a minibus back to Shaw Cinema in summer.

When they returned to the crew of "The Gym" again, everyone gathered together when they saw him.

"A Tian, ​​did you hear Yixin say you went to sign a contract with Jin Yong today?"

"Your book is really so beautiful, even Mr. Cha asked you to sign the contract?"

"Is it true? Don't be fooling us?"

... Everyone asked in a verbal way, Xia Tian's ears were deaf.

"Oh, get out of the way, get out of the way, I'll say you guys ask one by one, okay? Who will Brother Tian answer first?" Chen Yixin squeezed over and said loudly.

Everyone's faces were embarrassed by his shouting.

Xia Tian smiled, "Yixin is right. I did sign a contract with Mr. Jin Yong today, and the novel I created will be serialized in Ming Pao. At that time, everyone will support me!"

"Wow, that's true. Ah Tian, ​​you're really good!" Seeing that he admitted this, everyone said enviously and jealously, "Ah Tian, ​​you will become a great writer in the future. If you want to make a lot of money, you must treat you."

"It must, it must. Even if it is too expensive to afford it, a portion of rice noodles is still my desirable." Xia Tian also smiled and said, "Yixin, go get sixty rice noodles." As he said that, he secretly stuffed a stack of money to Chen Yixin.

"Brother Tian, ​​there's no need. The rice noodles are made by yourself and can't cost a lot." Chen Yixin glanced at it and saw that it was at least seven or eight hundred yuan, and he immediately said embarrassedly.

"I'll take it for you, brother, why are you polite?" Xia Tian waved his hand, "Let my aunt make the sauce thicker. I've been siping heavily recently."

"Oh, I understand." Chen Yixin agreed readily, crawling out of the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The crew members were still surrounded by Xia Tian and asked endlessly, which made him feel very upset.

"By the way, didn't Mao Shiqiang bet with A Tian, ​​saying that if A Tian really knew how to write novels, he would no longer be a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artsman in the future." Suddenly someone shouted loudly, "Where is he now?"

"I was still here just now, maybe I'm sorry, so I sneaked away." Someone continued.

"I deserve it! This is really a carpenter wearing shackles and taking it upon himself. Don't be idle, find him and blow him out together." Someone shouted again.

"Yes, A Tian's rice noodles cannot be eaten for nothing. You have to do this for him." Someone shouted, and then a group of people ran around cheering and scattered. Even if Mao Shifeng was hiding in the mouse hole, they would probably be dug three feet away from the ground.

In fact, not everyone has a grudge against Maoshi, it is just because Shaw Brothers reduces production, everyone's income declines, and life is not going well, so I just take this opportunity to vent.

As the saying goes, there are many people and great power. After a while, the cat shit that hides in the toilet is strong and is pulled out by everyone.

"Mao Shit is strong, don't hide anymore, it's useless to hide. A Tian has signed a contract with Jin Yong now, and your bet has been lost. Now it's time to admit it." Everyone sneered, looking like he was not interested in the big deal when watching the fun.

Mao Shiqiang has become a public enemy at this moment, being pointed at by thousands of people, and his head is as low as a hunchback, and he can no longer be tough. But if he really has to fulfill his bet and never be a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist from now on, what can he do at his age?! Go to the street to sell wonton noodles, what should he do if his wife and children at home?!

Thinking of this, he was so upset. If he had known that he was so embarrassed today, why would he not be willing to let go? Unfortunately, there is no regret in the world!

"Mao Shit is strong, don't pretend to be dead, talk quickly." Everyone urged him to see him speechless for a long time.

Mao Shiqiang was so suffocated by everyone. He made up his mind and suddenly raised his head and looked at Xia Tian and said, "A Tian, ​​no, Brother Tian, ​​I'm sorry, it's me that's bad, it's me that's wrong, it's me that's right... Please, let me go, don't drive me out. My family still has to rely on me to support..." He cried bitterly.

Seeing his crying and wiping tears, everyone was stunned. They just started to make fun of it, and they didn't really want to kill all the cat shit. Now seeing his pitiful look, everyone couldn't bear to say anything else for a while.

"Hmph! You know you're wrong now. Why did you treat Brother Tian at the beginning? How many bad things did you say about Brother Tian behind your back? How many times did you instigate everyone to exclude Brother Tian..." At this time, Chen Yixin squeezed in and pointed at Mao Shi and cursed, "You have a wife and children to raise, you are afraid of losing this job. Brother Tian, ​​he is carrying so many usury loans. Why don't you think about what will happen if he can't become a Dragon Tiger Martial Artist!"

After hearing Chen Yixin say this, everyone present had some pity for Mao Shiqiang, but now they all turned into nothing. They also knew that Mao Shiqiang deliberately targeted Xia Tian, ​​but now he had this fate, but he was just doing his own evil.

"Yes, who made you not accumulate virtue at the beginning, but now you deserve it."

"Cat shit is strong, accept your fate and eat the bitter fruit you planted by yourself." Someone echoed.

"Ah Tian..." At this moment, someone shouted outside the crowd.

Everyone heard that the person who was speaking was Master Tang Jia, so they hurriedly retreated to the side and made a way out. Then they saw Tang Jia walking in with a serious expression.

"Master." Xia Tian hurriedly greeted.

"I already know what happened. Now you can make your own decisions." Tang Jia said lightly, without giving his own opinions.

Xia Tian nodded and looked at Mao Shiqiang.

Mao Shiqiang felt very guilty at this moment. He couldn't raise his head at all because of Chen Yixin's scolding. His face turned blue and white, as if he had malaria.

"Forget it, let's stop here." Xia Tian sighed when he saw his appearance.

When Mao Shiqiang heard him say this, he immediately raised his head in surprise.

Xia Tian did not look at him again, but smiled at everyone, "Actually, this bet is just a joke. Everyone laughed and finished it. Come on, Yixin has brought the rice noodles. Don't be polite, please, please!"

Hearing that he said, everyone laughed.

"Ah God, benevolence and righteousness!" Everyone said with a thumbs-up.

"A Tian, ​​you have done a good job. Please forgive me if you want to forgive me!" Tang Jia also patted Xia Tian's shoulder and said with relief.

He was most afraid that summer would be young and energetic, and he would not let others do anything to force cat shit into a desperate situation. In this way, although he would relieve his aura for a while, it would be a little more vicious in the eyes of everyone, and it was not a good thing for his reputation.

It is just right to deal with this now. It not only gives Mao Shiqiang a profound lesson, but also shows his own demeanor, which is very beneficial to his reputation.

"It's all about you, Master, that you appeared in time, otherwise I really want to drive him out." Xia Tian smiled and said, "Come on, eat rice noodles, Master! This was bought by the royalties."

"Really?! I really need to try it." Tang Jia also said happily for the disciple.

"Brother Tian, ​​thank you for your forgiveness." At this time, Mao Shiqiang came up with a shy face and thanked him.

"No need, but I don't want another next time." Xia Tian looked at him coldly.

"No, no." Mao Shiqiang knew that Xia Tian had successfully signed the contract and would become a great writer in the future. He had long regretted it, so he dared not be right with him again.
