Chapter 330 Manuscript Fee Received, Starting a Business
Fable stories had their rate increased to six yuan per thousand characters starting two months ago, and illustrations also saw a price bump of fifty cents. Now, each illustration is priced at one yuan fifty cents. Currently, I send in four fabled stories per month, usually with no more than four or five illustrations each.
If a fable story falls short of a thousand words, Luo Qiao would add some annotations to make sure it’s normally above a thousand words. Counting the illustrations, the lowest earning for a single fable story would be twelve yuan.
Right now, this column brings in at least forty-eight yuan a month in income. In this era, that’s truly not a small amount, as an ordinary full-time employee only makes about thirty or forty yuan in wages.
Luo Qiao had considered that there might come a time when she wouldn’t be able to write fable stories, so she tried her hand at writing novels under the pen name: Xiao Yao. To her surprise, the editor-in-chief directly retained her and offered a decent price.
Lu Yichen and Stone saw Luo Qiao smile, knowing she had gotten her wish, and heard her say, "See, Stone, your sister wasn’t bragging. The remittance slip has arrived, I can afford to support you."
Stone’s eyes sparkled as he looked at what Luo Qiao was holding, "Sister, you’re amazing!"
Luo Qiao smiled and replied, "Thank you, Stone."
Lu Yichen, while observing the joyous Luo Qiao opposite him, suddenly asked, "Luo Qiao, which university are you planning to apply for in the future?"
