Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 906: They will not sell well (2)

Chapter 906: They will not sell well (2)

Yu Qun looked at Su Wan with a subtle look in his eyes and could not help but think that the woman was a bit freaky. How could she even think about pus.h.i.+ng such an article out in the public, was she not afraid that she would be caught and thrown into the yamen?

" County Magistrate Su, I am sorry to tell you this but I cannot publish this script. The one for the children is fine but this one… its a bit complicated to say —— it is quite vulgar——"

" What is so vulgar about it?" Su Wan questioned with a raise of her brow. She looked at Yu Qun and then stated in a cold and calm voice, "Red lights districts and brothels are running in open, where women and children alike can see what the men are doing and what the courtesans who work at the brothel are doing when they invite a man in the brothel."

" I am not buying or selling forcefully, this is a book that they can buy if they want to read and if they don't read it then there is no need for them to buy it," said Su Wan with a leisurely expression. " Why is it that the brothel can do business but I cannot sell a book? Am I wrong? I mean there are indeed a few officials in your contact who have opened brothels right?"

Yu Qun stiffened upon hearing Su Wan's remarks. He raised his head and looked at Su Wan with a tentative look in his eyes, the woman was still smiling but Yu Qun was not fooled. She was subtly warning him that she could ruin him if she wanted to which was why she mentioned the matter of the officials running a few brothels under the name of their relatives who were commoners.

" I am not saying that I will not publish it," now that Yu Qun knew that Su Wan was aware of everything about him, he slowly backpedalled.

Instead of refusing outright, he decided to change his words as he corrected himself and said, " I am just telling you that it will be extremely hard to sell these kinds of books, I mean they are vulgar, coa.r.s.e and really expressive…things that no one has seen before in their life.

I don't think that they will be willing to buy such books, in that case, you should be prepared for these books to not sell well."

Su Wan understood what this man was trying to tell her. Even though he did not refuse her, he was subtly telling her that he would neither promote her books nor help her in selling them, if anything the responsibility of the entire matter would fall on her head in case of something that went wrong.

But this was fine with Su Wan because it meant that she would be the one who would be holding the biggest shares in such a scenario.

" I am fine with it. I just need your publis.h.i.+ng house to publish my book and covers as I want them.

Whether or not they sell well will have nothing to do with you," Su Wan agreed with what Yu Qun said causing him to heave a sigh of relief but as soon as he heaved a sigh of relief, the smile on Su Wan's lips widened as she added subtly, " However, if I am the one who is taking most of the responsibilities then your publis.h.i.+ng house will only get ten per cent of what my books will be making, do you agree?"

Of course, Yu Qun did not want to agree. No matter what ten per cent was too little and he immediately told his view to Su Wan who only shrugged casually and then stated in a light voice, " There is nothing that I can do. You are right when you say that the other books share sixty percent shares with you but you are also responsible for publicizing and promoting them.

Something that you are refusing to do for mine, there is nothing that I can do if you take your hands away, right? It's not like I am the one who asked you to s.h.i.+rk responsibilities, after all."

When Yu Qun heard Su Wan's words he hated to admit that she had left no leeway for him but

' Such disgusting and vile books will not sell in the first place. Why should I quibble for a few cents?' Yu Qun thought in his head as he agreed with Su Wan in the end.

" Very well but since this is what the county magistrate came up with, please don't blame me later on," he then turned to look at Yun Zhao and added, " You are a witness of this matter, Lord Yun. Haha."

Yun Zhao shook his head, seeing how confident Su Wan looked he had a feeling that the one who was going to win in the end would be Su Wan!

Though he did not say anything after all this opportunity was something that Yu Qun let go by himself!

Yu Qun did not think that he was losing out and agreed to sign a contract with Su Wan when the latter suggested it. In fact, he thought that he escaped scot-free without suffering much, even Su Wan acted as if she was making a tough decision. It was only when Yu Qun left did she smiled with an evil glint in her eyes as she looked at Yu Qun's back who was leaving her house without any worry.

Lin Yan turned to look at his wife after he was done putting their sons to sleep and could not help but remark, " You are really scheming."

" Hahaha, it's not my fault that he is so blind," Su Wan rolled her eyes as she stated calmly, " Its him who wanted to clear his hands from this matter, so what can I do?"

Su Wan was from the modern world and she had seen many scholarly and gentle women gus.h.i.+ng over the male protagonists of the erotic novels. Yu Qun seemed to be underestimating the strength of these erotica that she had come up with but sooner or later he would learn their might!
