Yan Ruyu corrected the manuscript the next day, when Lanning was taking a lunch break.
Hearing the sound of the penguin Didi, she got up and looked at it. Seeing that it was a manuscript sent by Teacher Xingxin, she quickly clicked to accept it.
After opening the document, she took a closer look at what the teacher had revised. There were no major changes in the plot. What he changed were mostly details, the most detailed of which was that he changed the deceased's name to Yu Muyuan.
Lanning: "..."
Yu Muyuan also wanted to read Teacher Xingxin's book, after all, when he approached him, he used mystery novels as his starting point. Lan Ning imagined that when Yu Muyuan opened Teacher Xingxin's new book and found that he had become the dead in his writing... how sour the picture would be.
Moreover, Teacher Xingxin's books are selling very well, and they will even be translated into multiple languages and sold overseas, and there is a high possibility that they will be adapted into film and television dramas.
... It feels like Gauss can't figure out the area of Yu Muyuan's psychological shadow.
She rubbed the tip of her nose, and looked at the edited places again, and found that there were some more wounds on the body of the deceased.
Lanning: "..."
Being a writer is so capricious.
She took a sip of the lemonade on the table, first sent another copy of his revised manuscript to the proofreader, and then clicked on Teacher Xingxin's dialogue box.
Cauliflower: Teacher, did you know Yu Muyuan before? _(:3」∠)_
Xing Xin: I don’t know it, I just think the name sounds nice.
Lanning: "..."
Fortunately, he didn't think his name sounded good.
Cauliflower: Mmmm…
Cauliflower: By the way, the cover of the new book is from the same series as the first three books, so I want to keep the same style, so I can ask the previous artist to draw it, right
Xingxin: Yes.
Cauliflower: Alright, then I will go to make an appointment with a painter first!
Cauliflower: Speaking of which, this artist also likes to drag drafts, no wonder he has been helping you draw the cover :)
Xing Xin: This is called not being a family and not entering a family :) Or I'll drag him into the group too.
Cauliflower: ... Isn't yours an author group? Leave the painter alone!
Fortunately: :)
Lan Ning forked out the dialog box and ignored him. After she made an appointment with the painter, she continued to read the manuscript. Because the book was due to be released at the end of May, she was very careful about every link, for fear that something would be broken and the overall progress would be slowed down.
Before getting off work on Friday, Lan Ning regularly reported the work progress to Yan Ruyu.
Cauliflower: Teacher, are you there? This week's progress, the second school completed √
Xingxin: Yes.
Lan Ning twitched the corner of her mouth. This kind of great writer is really different. Usually some small writers would actively come to her to ask her about the progress of the new book every now and then. Now she will take the initiative to report to him, but he still seems indifferent. snort.
Cauliflower: I also wrote a first version of the copywriting and slogan, and I will send it to you first~(≧▽≦)/~
As she spoke, she pasted what she had written before, and waited nervously for his feedback.
Xing Xin: The King of Mystery Novels in China and a master writer sought after by hundreds of millions of readers Xing Xin: Is the title too long
Cauliflower: I am the Tathagata Buddha Jade Emperor Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva designated to take the Western Scriptures as a special envoy. Huaguoshan Water Curtain Cave Monkey King Qitian Great Sage Sun Wukong.
Cauliflower: You feel it.
Xingxin: ...
Xing Xin: Every time I read the slogan written by your editor, I feel a kind of embarrassment.
Cauliflower: o(n_n)o~
Cauliflower: I'm off to the meeting first.
Xingxin: I'm planning to move. :)
One sentence made Lanning, who was about to shut down QQ, stop successfully.
Cauliflower: Teacher Σ, were you serious before? ?
Xing Xin: Of course, I have already found a house, let’s move this weekend :)
Lanning: "..."
Why haven't I seen you so efficient in writing
Cauliflower: Teacher, please inform the editorial department of your new address as soon as possible after you move ^_^
Xing Xin: Do you think I will? :)
Lanning: "..."
It's okay, anyway, there will be many places where his address will be used in the future, and she doesn't believe that he can't get it out.
Xing Xin: Oh, by the way, I haven't sold my current house. What kind of books or contracts do you have? Send them here, and the property management company will collect them for me.
Cauliflower: … [bye]
After get off work, Lan Ning found Ye Cheng's number on his mobile phone and called him. The phone was picked up after a few rings, and Ye Cheng's clear voice, which seemed to be wrapped in sunlight, came from the receiver: "Bian, I didn't expect you to call me! What can you do with me? "
Lan Ning smiled and said, "Are you free this weekend? The last time I asked you to have dinner, it has been delayed until now."
"The editor invites me to dinner, of course I'm free." Ye Cheng paused at this point, and asked gossipingly, "Is the editor in a particularly good mood because Teacher Xingxin handed in the manuscript?"
"I'm in a bad mood when you mention him." Lan Ning thought that after the editor-in-chief learned the news of Teacher Xingxin's move, he threatened her to get his new address as if he was threatening her to accept the manuscript. She shook her head, trying to get rid of these bad things: "then tomorrow, what do you want to eat?"
"I can do it all, just choose what you like to eat."
"How can I do that? I told you to invite you to dinner."
"Whatever the editor likes to eat, I like to eat."
Lan Ning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when I think of something to eat. I'm in the subway station, so I'll hang up first."
When she got home, Qu Tong had already finished school. She stood at the porch while changing her shoes and asked Qu Tong, "Are you busy tomorrow? I'll invite you out for dinner."
Qu Tong happily said: "I'm free! What's the holiday tomorrow?"
"There is no festival." Lan Ning put on his slippers and walked in. "Do you still remember the student who invited us to dinner at Imperial University? He invited me to dinner twice. I'm sorry. I'll invite him back tomorrow."
Qu Tong was stunned for a while, then blinked suddenly: "Oh—it's that handsome guy, so I've been attracted to him." She followed Lan Ning to the door of the bedroom, and stood at the door to look at her, "But you invite him It’s not good to call me for dinner, right?”
"What's wrong?" Lan Ning looked at her strangely, she thought it was a treat anyway, so she called Qu Tong, otherwise would she eat instant noodles at home again
Qu Tong giggled twice in a very gossip way: "I think that handsome guy is interested in you. Of course it's not good for me to be a light bulb."
Lan Ning was silent for a while, then turned around and said, "Oh, then you can eat instant noodles at home."
"Don't." Qu Tong quickly posted it, "It's better if I go and check for you!"
Lan Ning couldn't help laughing: "You little brat still helps me check it out."
"Hmm, don't look at me as a sophomore in high school. I know as much about this as you do." Qu Tong took Lan Ning's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go to Starlight Park tomorrow. March is just a time to enjoy flowers. The sea is beautiful."
Lanning's brows twitched, the restaurants in Starlight Park are very expensive. Forget it, anyway, it's rare for her to invite a guest: "Okay, let's go to Starlight Park."
"It's great! But I think you'd better ask that handsome guy first, if you mind if you bring someone more."
Lan Ning still made sense after thinking about it, and sent Ye Cheng a WeChat message after taking a shower: "Go to Starlight Park tomorrow, I will bring my children with me, don't you mind?"
Ye Cheng: Is that the high school girl from last time
Lan Ning: Well, if you leave her alone at home, she must eat instant noodles again.
Ye Cheng: All right. ^_^
Lanning: Thank you. ^_^
She felt that Ye Cheng was worthy of being a little angel of sunshine, he was really understanding.
Ye Cheng: It's the editor's treat, so I should say thank you. ^_^
After Ye Cheng and Lan Ning agreed on a time, they quit WeChat and started matching the clothes they were going to wear tomorrow. Jianjian, the keyboard player of the band, is a brother in the same dormitory as him. When he saw him trying on clothes in front of the mirror, he couldn't help but joked: "Student Ye Cheng, you pushed the band rehearsal tomorrow, and you are dressed so coquettishly. Who are you going to see?"
When he said this, the other two buddies in the dormitory also looked at Ye Cheng and booed twice.
Ye Cheng threw the coat on his bed, and waved his hands like chasing flies: "Go, go, play your games and watch your little movies."
But the brother in the dormitory is so easy to dismiss, Jian Jian whistled at him, and smiled ambiguously: "I guess I have an appointment with your editor?"
"Who is the editor of Big Chengzi?" The other two roommates suddenly became curious and asked Jianjian about this editor who only lived in rumors.
Jianjian pretended to be mysterious and said: "Oh, the editor of Big Chengzi, she is our senior sister, she looks so pretty."
"No wonder he doesn't like the cute elementary school girls in our school. So it's the senior girls that he likes!"
"Oh, elementary school girls are so sad~"
Ye Cheng turned his head and smiled at the three people in the dormitory: "You guys continue to say, whoever wants the phone number of the elementary school girl in the future, don't ask me for help."
"..."
There was a sudden silence in the dormitory.
The next morning, Ye Cheng dressed in the clothes he picked out last night and rushed to Starlight Park early. After waiting at the main entrance for a while, he saw Lan Ning and a girl coming out of the subway exit from a distance and walking towards him.
Lanning was wearing the nude beige hooded windbreaker he had seen in the photo last time, and his long black hair was draped over his shoulders like silk. The girl next to her was still wearing a small dress, which was very conspicuous in the crowd. Seeing them looking over, Ye Cheng waved at them.
Lan Ning pulled Qu Tong and walked over quickly, looking at Ye Cheng a little embarrassedly: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Ye Cheng smiled: "No, I just came too."
"Then let's go to Huahai to take pictures first, and have a buffet western food at noon!" Qu Tong excitedly took Lan Ning's arm and moved towards Huahai. Ye Cheng walked beside them, and asked Lan Ning beside them: "Bianbian, are you busy recently?"
"Well, a little bit. Teacher Xingxin finally handed in the manuscript. His book needs to be done quickly." Lan Ning said, and looked at him again, "Speaking of which, have you been working hard on your manuscript recently?"
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, I'm serious."
"That's good, that's good."
Qu Tong sighed at the side: "I really can't stand you people, you finally come out to play, and the conversation is still about work."
Lan Ning said: "Oh, then let's not talk about work, let's talk about your quiz next month."
Qu Tong: "..."
She poked her head out to look at Ye Cheng on the other side of Lanning: "You said that if you have a child with this kind of person, the child will be so pitiful."
Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and laughed, Lanning blushed and patted Qu Tong's head: "You are not allowed to eat meat at noon today!"
The little kid doesn't study hard all day, and he's thinking about something messy!
After arriving at the sea of flowers, Lan Ning found that there were really many people who came to enjoy the flowers. Qu Tong took her and Ye Cheng to take a lot of pictures, and it was near noon when he was hungry and wanted to eat.
Fortunately, she made a reservation yesterday, otherwise she would not know if she would be able to eat now.
The waiter led them to their seats and left. Lan Ning went to get the dishes, while Qu Tong and Ye Cheng sat at the table. Qu Tong held a fork in his hand, and moved towards Ye Cheng: "Brother, do you like our sister Lanning?"
Ye Cheng blinked quickly, and said, "Yes."
Qu Tong chuckled twice: "Don't blame me for being a light bulb, I think you are pretty good, and I will remember to say something nice to you in front of Sister Lanning."
Ye Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Thank you then, I'll treat you to ice cream later."
"make a deal!"
"What are you two talking about?" Lan Ning came back with a bunch of things, almost unable to hold them, Ye Cheng quickly helped her take them and put them on the table.
"Huh—" Lan Ning let out a long breath, and said to Ye Cheng and Qu Tong, "You guys go get something too."
"Then I'll go, you two talk slowly." Qu Tong stood up quickly, and before leaving, he gave Ye Cheng a comrade-in-arms look.
