After getting the letter from the guard, Ye Xiuqing couldn't help laughing.

A classmate who followed Ye Xiuqing saw the expression on her face and laughed.

"It looks like this is done, right? We can get the royalties, right?"

The condition of this girl's family is not bad, and she doesn't expect to live on the money of the manuscript fee. It's just that this is the first time that she has made money with her own ability. For her, the meaning is completely different, so she is naturally looking forward to it.

Hearing her words, Ye Xiuqing nodded.

"The envelope is quite thin. If the manuscript is rejected, it will not be mailed to us in such a thin envelope. It looks like it has been done."

As Ye Xiuqing spoke, the envelope he opened, as expected, contained a letter and a remittance slip.

Ye Xiuqing took out this remittance slip.

"Look, this is our royalties."

The girl took the remittance slip handed over by Ye Xiuqing with some excitement. After looking at the numbers on it, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Is there actually so much? It's too much. The words we translate are so valuable. God, after we are skilled in translation, I translate more content every month, and the manuscript fee I earn, Wouldn't it be more than what my parents earn every month?"

Because of the excitement, the girl couldn't control her crackling. After she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Ye Xiuqing, who had been standing by the side and looked at her with a smile. To Ye Xiuqing, he explained in a low voice.

"This is the first time I've made money, and I can still make so much money. I'm a little excited."

Ye Xiuqing nodded understandingly.

"It's normal. When I made money for the first time, I was more excited than you. At this time, the post office didn't close. Let's go back to the classroom to find some male classmates from the English club, and join us to get Take the money out.

Let someone else inform the other students in the club. Tonight, we will divide the manuscript fee. "

Hearing that Ye Xiuqing said that he would pay for the subtitles, the girl's interest was even higher.

It was also Ye Xiuqing and the others who were lucky. This year, the State Publishing Administration decided to revise the remuneration for books.

It has just been implemented on July 1. The manuscript is 6 to 20 yuan per thousand words, and the translation manuscript is 4 to 14 yuan per thousand words.

Although it doesn't sound like much, at this time, pork is less than one yuan per catty, and rice is two cents more than one catty. Many household items, such as toothpaste, are only two or three cents. There are even some items that are calculated by points.

No matter which city it is placed in, this remuneration is quite good.

Originally, for their translation level, they could get six yuan per thousand words.

However, because they belong to the new people. In addition, at the beginning, Ye Xiuqing took the initiative to reduce the manuscript fee in order to be able to cooperate with the publishing house.

So according to the agreement, they can only get five yuan for each thousand words.

However, the manuscript that Ye Xiuqing handed in this time indeed gave Editor-in-Chief Zhang a big surprise. So, he took the initiative to give them five cents, that is to say, five dollars per thousand words.

Because editor-in-chief Zhang didn't trust them at the beginning, he gave them some short stories to try out. The five novels together have a total of less than 70,000 words, and the manuscript fee is 337 yuan and 6 cents in total.

In this era, the salary of ordinary workers is only 40 to 50 yuan. These students in their English club can earn more than 300 yuan in just one week, which is already a lot of money.

Sure enough, after Ye Xiuqing returned. The male classmates in the class were also happy to know that they had made so much money.

There were several lively male classmates who couldn't help but shouted loudly. Attracted the attention of other classmates in their major.

Feeling the gazes of other classmates, these students who spoke out immediately closed their mouths. After they left, they looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go, let's go and take the money out, and everyone will be happy for a while."

At this time, the maximum denomination of coins in circulation is ten yuan. Because these manuscript fees should be distributed to every student in the club who participated in the translation work.

Therefore, among the money Ye Xiuqing took out this time, the largest denomination was only five yuan. There is a whole sum of money put together, and the area is not small.

In addition, at this time, the sky is already a little dark. If it weren't for two male classmates accompanying her, Ye Xiuqing wouldn't dare to carry so much money by herself, wandering back and forth on the road.

When the three of them returned to the classroom where the English club usually held activities, everyone else in the club had already arrived.

The big guy sat there, looking at the three people who came in from outside the door, their eyes were very eager.

Especially when they saw the package that Ye Xiuqing was holding in his arms, they couldn't hold back their emotions.

Ye Xiuqing didn't give a shit either, she stood in front of the podium and put the package in her hand on the table.

"Listen to me, guys. Two days ago, we handed over the translated manuscript to the publishing house. Today, we received a reply from the publishing house and our manuscript fee, a total of 337 yuan and 60 cents."

Before Ye Xiuqing came back, the classmates in the room had already heard about the specific amount of the royalties.

However, this did not prevent them from being a little excited after hearing the number again.

This is more than 300, although not all of them are their own. However, as long as they think that they have their own share here, they are very happy.

"There are 43 classmates in our English club. Excluding myself and a classmate who didn't participate in this translation work because of a competition before, there are still 41 classmates left."

Hearing Ye Xiuqing's words, she didn't wait for her to continue. Many of the classmates sitting at the bottom gave up.

"Student Ye Xiuqing, it's not right for you to say that. Why should you be excluded?"

"You are also a member of our English community. If it weren't for you, we would not have been able to receive translation work. Later, you were always by our side, and we would solve any problems with us.

After we have finished translating the novel, it is also you who will do the final verification. It can be said that your efforts are no less than ours, and we do not agree to exclude you. "

"Yes! Did someone say something behind your back? You don't have to care what other people say, we all see your hard work, and I don't agree to exclude you."
