But as time passed, Nina sighed in a business tone in order not to let the atmosphere become stiff.
"Cook, this is very good. I didn't expect Father Hall to prepare such a big gift for you. Thank you for your hard work, Father Hall."
The reactions of Cook, Sylph, and Sassi were all seriously inconsistent with the plan.
Sylph leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and folded her arms, and let out a hum.
This inexplicable reaction made it impossible to understand what she was thinking.
Cook just smiled wryly, and also couldn't see the joy that should be in the plan.
Shaxi, who should have reacted the most, just blinked her big eyes and kept staring at Cretia.
Little Lolita kept staring at Cretia's face, which gave Cretia the illusion that something was on her face.I also secretly took out a small mirror and checked it.
'No, there's nothing strange about it.Are blue-haired beauties rare? '
Noticing that the atmosphere was not in line with what he expected, Hall immediately woke up from the messy fantasy of being surrounded and squeezed by big, medium, and flat breasts, and hinted Credia to start the next step.
Receiving Hall's hint, Cretia flicked her long blue hair, slightly curved her lips, and stood up sassyly.
'Finally it's my turn to get down to business.This was the long-awaited turning point that turned St. Martin's bookstore into a profit. '
Although such a personalized meeting made Credia startled, and she behaved a little out of character (leaking urine).
But Cretia has adjusted (dried).Now Cretia is not only full of confidence, but also in a good mood.
Chapter 167: Conflict of Interests
Cretia seemed to be able to see Victory waving at herself.
The author of "Slightly Hot Paradise", which I have been looking forward to for so long, is now sitting opposite me, and the most incredible thing is that the other party is just a kid.
This is simply God looking after me.
Blue hair is indeed a lucky color.
At first, I thought the author who wrote the hot book was some awesome old man.
Generally, old authors have a more or less bad temper, and they want to save face.
Convincing them to become full-time authors will not only cost a lot of money, but also groveling to curry favor with each other.
A moth who only relies on bookstores for food dares to make himself, the boss, bend over.This is so infuriating.
These guys don't understand the master-slave relationship at all.
But that can't be helped.After all, the books of those old guys are very popular, and they are the goose that can lay golden eggs.For the sake of money, I had to endure it.
Considering the possibility that the other party is an old author, Cretia also specially formulated a method to deal with the old author.
If you keep bombarding him with money and sweet words, you don't believe that he doesn't give in.Under the lure of money and temptation, the reservedness of those old guys quickly became worthless.
Seeing them succumb to her feet always gave Cretia pleasure.
This is what well-known authors who poached other bookstores by themselves did.It can be described as a tried and tested method.
Surprisingly, this Cook is just a brat.
Since he's just a brat, he's just a rookie writer.
For newcomers, there is no need to be humble, let alone waste money.It would be good to directly show the noble status of the bookstore manager.Rather, it is necessary to establish the impression of this master-slave relationship from the very beginning.
Cretia understands the psychology of new writers very well.They are more eager than bookstores to get the opportunity to show their talents by entering the platform.
So give them a little sweetness.Like dogs, they will come over and show tameness.
Even if the unequal contract is abandoned, as long as the bookstore holds the dominant position, the other party will agree without hesitation.
Once the contract is signed, all that remains is for them to work day and night to create value for the bookstore.
When there is no more writing to do, throw them away without hesitation.
Bookstores have nothing to lose.
Look at the boy sitting opposite, without any pretense, and the childishness on his face has not faded.Cretia's sense of superiority became more and more swollen.
He cannot be a match for Cretia, who has a wealth of experience in dealing with the author.
Next, what Cretia is good at is squeezing time overwhelmingly.
'Cook, become the goose that lays my golden eggs. '
Cretia's face couldn't help showing the wicked smile that an old fox could only have.
Credia said, taking out a roll of parchment and placing it on the table.
"Cook, hello, I am the store manager of St. Martin's Bookstore. I have accepted General Hall's request and specially invited you to become a full-time author of the bookstore. To be honest, St. Martin's Bookstore is the largest bookstore in Alcoron. The requirements for full-time authors are very strict. Generally speaking, new writers like Cook basically have no chance to enter my family's bookstore. That is to say, but the general begged me so much, and I have to give face. Look at I can make an exception for the hard work that the General has put in to restore the relationship. How about it, you will soon be a full-time author at St. Martin's Bookstore, and you can brag when you go back. Are you so happy that you can't even speak? "
Cook glanced at Credia and then at Sylph.
Sylph showed an indifferent expression.Cook continued to smile bitterly as Credia continued to speak.
"Sign this now. You can become an author in the bookstore. Because you are a new writer, the salary cannot be very high. A backdoor has been opened for you to become an author in the bookstore. It will be unfair to treat you more preferentially, and other writers will say Dissatisfied... Let me talk about the treatment. As long as you complete the creation according to the regulations, you will get perfect attendance. If you take leave due to illness or slow down the progress due to other things, the perfect attendance award will be cancelled. Then, the sales after publishing the book 0.5% of the profits will be yours. During the New Year and holidays, we will also issue economic subsidies. On average, you can earn 1-7 gold coins in a year. It is much more than what you earn from working. Earning so much money, you can have dignity when you go home. I will also treat you preferentially and give you 8 more silver coins every month as extra living expenses. What a great treatment. Cook... hurry up and sign this contract."
Cretia said, pushing the contract written on the parchment towards Cook.
Cook looked at the parchment again, then shook his head with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Boss Cretia....me."
Before Cook could finish speaking, Credia launched an additional offensive.
This is a tactic that Kretia proudly calls "don't let the opponent think about forcing the corner to make infinite combos with small feet".
"Cook, you have to think clearly. There are not many opportunities to become a full-time author in my bookstore. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life. Being able to rely on a big bookstore is the dream of every author. In Alcoron, I dare say, No other bookstore is as powerful as St. Martin's Bookstore. Becoming a full-time author at St. Martin's Bookstore can be said to be on the road to life. Marrying Bai Fumei and reaching the pinnacle of life is not a dream. Cook, why are you still hesitating? Even if it is I can't keep compromising for the face of the general. You must think clearly before making a decision."
Cook said, holding back his dumbfounding feelings.
"Well, thank you very much, Boss Cretia. But I really..."
Cretia interrupts Cook again.
"What? Do you think the salary is not high? You are obviously a new author, but you dare to complain. Okay. I also show some sincerity. The profit ratio becomes 0.75. It can't be higher. I have compromised too much. .Listen well, even if your "Slightly Hot Paradise" becomes popular. It's just luck, not capital. You have to figure out where you are...."
This time, Sylph, who couldn't stand it anymore, slammed the table hard, interrupting Claytia.
Seeing Sylph's furious appearance, Cretia shivered instinctively, and stopped persuading her.
Sitting on the seat, Sylph, who looked like a queen, glared at Claytia with disgust.
"Hey. I said blue hair, you are very annoying. I have been talking endlessly on NNN. Let Cook speak out his thoughts... Forget it, I will speak for him. Listen Well... Cook is not going to be an author for your bookstore."
After Sylph finished speaking, Cook nodded in cooperation.
"Miss Sylph is right. Regarding the bookstore, I have already settled with Sylph."
After listening to Sylph and Cook's words, Hall and Credia exclaimed in surprise.
Chapter 168: Conflict of Interests
"What? No, not going to join?"
"Wait, Cook, then, what does that mean? Didn't you still worry about publishing a book before? This, this opportunity to join St. Martin's Bookstore is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why don't you join?"
Just as Cook was about to explain, this time...Saxi, who had been staring at Cretia's face silently, screamed again.
This is really an exchange meeting with frequent accidents.
After the little loli uttered a huge mournful cry.Everyone's eyes shifted to Shaxi again.
The little maid stood up and pointed at Cretia.
Although it is impolite to point your finger directly at the other person's face, it seems that Saxi has given up on these things.
"I know this blue-haired sister. When the young master and I first arrived in Hal to find a job in her bookstore, she kicked me out. Because there was no job, the young master and I had a very hard time. Almost starve."
Saxi's words also awakened Cook's memory.
Cook also yelled suddenly.
"I, I also remembered. At that time, Shaxi and I went to the bookstore to find a job, and said that as long as I was allowed to write a book, I would be given the minimum salary. But Miss Cretia kicked me out."
After hearing the same content continuously, Credia also looked at Cook and Sashi in horror.
The appearance of the two of them hasn't changed much, Shaxi is still dressed as a maid, and Cook is also a brat with a stinky face.Belonging to the easily recognizable category.
Looking back and forth between Su Xi and Cook, the door of Cretia's memory was opened.
That was something that I had forgotten, and it didn't matter at all.
It's just a small incident that happened when I went to the Dahal branch to check the performance, and it didn't even have the value of being stored in memory.
Both of them were right. It was indeed Cretia who rejected Cook's request and drove them away without hesitation.
That is to say, he kicked out the hungry who could lay golden eggs out of the house with his own hands?
Credia's expression became uneasy.
"Yes, it's you? It's you?"
Cretia considered various developments of the matter, but she never thought that the child she drove away turned out to be the author she had been thinking about day and night.
If I could have a little kindness back then, I would have kept the boy and girl by my side.
Don't you need to worry about the operation of the bookstore now?
Great wealth can be obtained at a small cost.There is no need to try so hard to win over the other party now.
But, this, such an opportunity was ruined by himself.
Thinking of this, the stingy Cretia felt angina.All kinds of regrets and remorse will swallow me up.
After Cook and Suzy finished speaking, everyone's eyes on Cretia also changed.
Especially the elf named Sylph, who almost looked at herself like an enemy.
"You are really a kind boss. Thanks to your enthusiasm. My children have suffered a lot. However, I would like to thank you. Without you rejecting Cook, I would be the one who eats dirt. I am doing well now, It's all thanks to you."
Regardless of Cook complaining about 'not your child' or something, Sylph sneered at Claytia.
The catgirl, who had been smiling to avoid the tense atmosphere, also changed her attitude, coldly snorted "hypocrisy" at Cretia, and at the same time hugged the little maid tightly.
Sylph's words and Nina's reaction simply added a handful of salt to Cretia's wound.
Originally, he regretted missing the opportunity, but seeing that Sylph and the others seemed to be doing well, this feeling inflated even more.
Cretia's perfect plan hits an unprecedented obstacle.
Could this be the retribution for underestimating the stinky brat?
No, it's not over yet.Cretia is someone who has seen big winds and waves.
Now that things have become like this, let's risk it.
Change tactics, no longer treat the other party as a new author, but improve the treatment of the other party to the level of an old author.
No matter what, Cretia needs this goose that lays the golden eggs.
Cretia pulled herself together and softened her expression again.Thin-skinned people can't accomplish anything, and those who do great things must have thick-skinned ones.
"Well, Cook. I was wrong in the past. I apologize. But, I hope you understand that people have to look forward. If you want to write a book, you need a platform. Don't let us be affected by a little complaining cooperation. Your future is the most important thing. Just treat it as making up for my mistakes... I will improve your salary to that of an old author. Come on, don't say any complaints, and quickly sign the contract Sign it."
Cretia pushed the roll of parchment towards Cook again.
Cook scratched his hair in embarrassment.
"Miss Cretia, I have forgotten about the past for a long time. I refused your request not because I am the kind of narrow-minded person. You see, Grandpa Hall did that kind of hurtful thing to us. Didn’t I forgive him too? Didn’t I forgive him for leaving that terrible memory for Su Xi? I also forgave him for making Sister Sylph and Nina angry. It made a mess, and I forgive him. I never thought of saving face for Grandpa Hall in Zoram, and I will settle the accounts one by one when I return to Dahar. Hahaha. I really never thought of giving Huoer Put booger in Grandpa Hall's tea, put blank pages in key places in Grandpa Hall's book, ask Miss Mei to hide from Grandpa Hall...... I am not the kind of person who can hold grudges. Everyone said yes."
Cook said, pushing the parchment back in front of Credia.
Hall, Gandalf, Sylph and Nina all looked at Cook with a wry smile.Hall, in particular, shuddered.
Isn't this super vengeful?And it's still the type that counts one by one very clearly.
Everyone reached a consensus in their hearts that they would never provoke such people again.
Looking at the parchment that was pushed in front of him again.Cretia became agitated.
"Then, why do you still reject me? No, there is no reason. You, don't you want your book to be copied more and be seen by more people? This, isn't this the wish of all authors? "
Cook shook his head.
"Of course I do. I have always dreamed that my story would be seen by more people. I would like my book to be copied in more copies."
