The next day.
At 7:30 in the morning, Chenyuan Deyi was typing on the computer at such a slow speed that his eyes began to blur.
After nearly a day of hard work, he wrote 30,000 words!
If this was uploaded, readers would definitely be very excited and praise him for his diligence. That "Ji Huai" only paid 20,000 yuan, but he directly paid 30,000 yuan!
Thinking about it, he felt excited. He quickly revised it and divided the 30,000 words into fifteen chapters. His hands were shaking when he uploaded it. Today, he ranks first on the diligence list, and he may be able to defeat "Death Mystery" and regain the first place among subscription neighbors.
At 8:10, after uploading, he was checking the comments and background data. One after another, people subscribed, the number of people voting for recommendations and monthly votes also increased, and some people started to leave messages.
Looking around, why doesn't anyone praise him for his diligence
He clicked refresh on his keyboard again, and the latest comment made him feel relieved.
Nobody: You are very diligent today. You have surpassed the update of "The Mystery of Death", and it has actually been updated by 30,000! commendable.
Before "Destiny" had time to be happy, the other party quickly followed up with another comment: Oh, I didn't catch up, "The Mystery of Death" was updated with 50,000 today! Still need to work hard.
fifty thousand? The pupils of "Chen Yuan Deyi"'s eyes suddenly shrank, and he quickly looked at it. He clicked on the chapter of "The Mystery of Death" and at a glance, he saw a row of the latest chapters.
There are twenty-five chapters in total, each chapter has 2,000 words, making a total of 50,000 words.
Today's number one on the diligence list is also "The Mystery of Death". He almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Is this guy an octopus or a tentacle monster
The comment section burst into cheers:
Fantasy Fairy: 50,000 new updates, give Brother Huai a thumbs up.
Novel fanatic: A ruthless person who is both quality and quantity online, I have to accept it. I wait for the update every day, will there be another 50,000 update tomorrow
Fans of Brother Huai: For those who are waiting for the update, you can check out Brother Huai’s new article "The Truth", which is also in the same series. I can only say that it is a huge hit.
Online comments: Huai Ge's novels are very rigorous in thinking and progressive in layers. They are indeed rare masterpieces. I am also following "The Truth". It is worthy of being written by one person and I like it very much.
…
"Mortal Destiny" takes a look at it, what new article is it? When I clicked on the author's page and took a look, my mouth twitched. This guy put another book on the shelf today and paid 20,000 yuan for it.
He even doubted whether it was written by the studio, otherwise how could it be updated so much? Out of curiosity, he opened Chen Wei's author group again, searched it, and found that Ji Huai was not in it.
So mysterious
If the same person had written it, updating the two books would still be so strenuous, and he really didn't believe the results would be any better. Even if it is semi-literary in itself, how can it be impatient? All published books must be "carefully crafted".
That night, he complained to his gay friends and put down the words. From today on, he will also add more updates, and will pay another 20,000 or 30,000 from time to time. He will definitely be able to take the first place on the gold list again, and it will only take a week at most. Gotta get it!
Let alone a week, his face was swollen the next day. Ji Huai's newly released "The Truth" only had 10,000 updates on the second day after it was released, but his book was pushed from the second place on the gold list to the third place on the gold list.
The book "The Truth" only has a few hundred thousand words in total, while his book is close to 6 million words. You can imagine how high the other party's subscription ratio is. The collection also had 180,000 new additions in one day after it was put on the shelves, firmly ranking second on the gold list.
"Chen Yuan Deyi" was so angry that he vomited blood. Chen Wei was about the same. He cared more about the results of his new book than Ji Huai. He always paid attention to the subscriptions and watched the subscriptions keep rising. The proportion was definitely one of the few books he had ever published. , the follow-up may not be much worse than his first book.
If things continue to develop like this, various copyrights will be out of the question.
But Ji Huai always has the ability to piss him off. He promised that the new article would be updated for 20,000 yuan, and it was indeed updated for 20,000 yuan, but what the hell is the old article updated for 50,000 yuan
He felt more distressed about the manuscript than the other person. He opened the chat page, typed a paragraph and then angrily posted: Why did you add more chapters to the book "The Mystery of Death"
After a while, Ji Huai replied: You didn't say you couldn't add more updates, so you just updated them by 50,000.
Chen Wei:…
At once? Want to piss him off? He had already said that he would save the manuscript, and he wanted to ask him to do so, but he should save some manuscripts. According to these results, he could get recommendations from a lot of channels, and every recommendation would result in the failure of the manuscript.
But now the recommendation has not been approved by the boss, and he will not say anything.
Chen Wei was afraid that if he serialized it like this, he wouldn't be able to get recommended, so he asked: How many thousand words do you plan to write for this book
Ji Huai: 5.2 million.
Seeing his answer, Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, there are still four million and a half words left, which is enough to recommend slowly.
He also specifically warned Ji Huai: Let me know next time you update. There is no need to update now. Save more manuscripts to ensure quality.
Ji Huai: Yeah.
In his opinion, there is no guarantee of quality. Everything has been written once. He may not remember other things well, but he can remember novels so well that even he will admire himself.
Countless long and short stories have been published in previous lives, and now they can only be written better than before.
The result is indeed the same. His new articles and old articles occupy the first and second places on the subscription list. The collection is still increasing. The exposure rate has obviously reached the highest level, but there is no trend of saturation.
"I'm proud of my fate" went from being unwilling to be resigned to being angry, and then being slapped on the head and being crushed. He gave up on himself a little, and started to stop updating again.
Since you can't compete, then let's not compete. Even if you don't want to give up the position of "first brother", you have to give up.
Shen Qingqing didn't know much about the novel industry and had read many posts. She only knew that Ji Huai could earn a lot of money now, but she didn't know how popular it was.
During lunch break that day, Gu Tong came to her table with some takeaway, "Hey, I heard that Ji Huai is good at writing novels. Is that true?"
Shen Qingqing was opening the lunch box, "Don't you read novels?"
"I don't read it. I heard from Li Tong's husband that he reads novels, but the last time I saw Ji Huai's book, no one collected it, and it was a new author, so I didn't read it. You know, it was just for you at that time. To save face, he doesn’t read books on that website, but the websites seem to be interconnected. Her husband saw it on the list, and after reading it, he realized that it was Ji Huai’s novel." Gu Tong sat next to her and said She stretched the spoon towards her bowl and ate a piece of green vegetables. "I heard it's number one on some recommendation list. It seems very powerful."
"Of course it's great. His two books ranked first and second. They are really good." When talking about this, Shen Qingqing was like a talkative, crazy and gave her Amway.
"Look at you, you look like a fan now." Gu Tong teased her, "It doesn't matter if you have some achievements. I heard you can sell copyrights and make money."
"You can make money, you can make a lot. I feel like he has become a money printing machine now." Shen Qingqing's words are not an exaggeration at all.
"I think I've earned a lot." Gu Tong nodded in agreement, reached out to lift the platinum necklace she wore around her neck, pointed at her diamond ring, and glanced at her again, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at you. Now, I wear gold and silver, and recently I even dressed up in a fancy way.”
"Who's showing off?" Shen Qingqing laughed. This was too exaggerated.
"Isn't it true? Ji Huai came to pick you up yesterday. Look at your appearance, with a peach blossom face and affectionate eyes. You left without saying hello to me. There is no one else in your eyes." Gu Tong teased her.
Shen Qingqing lowered her head, still thinking about it, was she like this
"Are we still having radish ribs today?" Gu Tong sat closer with the stool and looked at the ribs in her bowl. Shen Qingqing pushed the bowl towards her, "You eat more, my appetite is not very good today." .”
"What's wrong with your poor appetite?" Gu Tong stopped and looked at her and asked.
"I just can't eat it." Shen Qingqing picked at the rice in the bowl and placed the vegetables in front of the other party. "You should eat more meat. I may have fried it a bit bland."
Gu Tong took a bite and thought it tasted okay. He looked at her again and said, "You didn't eat much of the breakfast you brought today. Now that you're not eating, your body can't stand it. Why can't you eat? Are you feeling nauseous?"
Shen Qingqing put her hands on the table and took a small bite slowly, but she really didn't have much appetite.
Gu Tong observed her and said, "Are you pregnant?"
"How is that possible?" Shen Qingqing sat up straight. They both took contraceptive measures. Their relationship was not yet stable, so of course it was impossible to get pregnant. They were still in the running-in stage. That would be irresponsible for the child.
"I think your symptoms are quite similar. You were like this when Xiaomei was pregnant. You couldn't eat this or that, and you felt like vomiting when you smelled anything. No matter how good your contraceptive measures are, there will still be accidents." Gu. Tong was talking about their former colleague, who went back to give birth this month.
Shen Qingqing was still adamant that it was impossible, but the other party's last words completely woke her up.
Accident
When she thought about the time she kicked Ji Huai out of bed, her whole face changed.
Gu Tong was drinking soup. When he saw her like this, he drank the soup slower and said tentatively, "There won't be any accidents during the operation, right?"
The two of them have been getting very tired of each other recently, and with some accidents, it's entirely possible.
"I just feel sick to my stomach. I'm going to buy some medicine later." Shen Qingqing came to her senses and shook her head.
"You haven't eaten anything wrong, and your stomach doesn't hurt. It's better not to take medicine. If your menstrual period doesn't come, I think you should go to the hospital for a check-up. If you are really pregnant, taking medicine will affect the child." Gu Tong was still relatively calm. Be rigorous and speak out to persuade her.
Shen Qingqing was really hesitant and her eyes were a little wandering. She was indeed not on her menstrual period, but she was never quite sure.
He felt really guilty. When taking measures, Ji Huai did make a mistake once. She got up in a hurry, and he was so panicked that he was accidentally kicked out of the bed by her. He was angry and funny.
"You have to eat something if you can't eat it. It's even worse with an empty stomach." Gu Tong put his takeout in front of her. Today she ordered pickled fish, and the seller also gave her shredded pickled peppers and radish.
As a result, Shen Qingqing lost her appetite looking at the bland food in her bowl. She ate up her pickled fish and ate up the rice in her bowl, leaving not much shredded radish for her.
Gu Tong looked at her takeaway and said cautiously, "You should really go take a look. Maybe she is actually a pregnant woman. Give Ji Huai a call?"
"Forget it, it's probably not." Shen Qingqing still felt that the chance of this accident was too small and unlikely.
Gu Tong: "I'll go with you."
The unit has not been very busy lately, and the positions are also vacant. The two of them took leave in the afternoon and went to the hospital. Gu Tong is very familiar with hospitals. She has hypochondriasis and often goes to the hospital for check-ups. In the past, Shen Qingqing accompanied her, but this was the first time she accompanied Shen Qingqing.
For Shen Qingqing's symptoms, she would eventually be advised to go to a gynecologist for a checkup. After calculating the time, the results would be available on the same day, so the two of them planned to go shopping and come back to get the report.
During the period, the two of them went to have some snacks, and Gu Tong also said, "You two are in a good relationship now. If you are really pregnant, it will be okay, but aren't you preparing to take the exam? It may have to be delayed."
The most important reason why she is unmarried and infertile is this. Not only is it harmful to her body, but her work is also greatly affected. This society is really not friendly to married women. It would be okay if she meets the right person, but if she meets a scumbag Yes, giving birth to a baby will cost you half your life, drag your family with you, and shed endless tears.
Especially since the two of them had not understood each other in life, they gave birth to a child in a daze and created too many enemies.
"No." Shen Qingqing felt that she wouldn't be pregnant. She and Ji Huai didn't get pregnant when they were newly married. How could it be possible now
Gu Tong could only wish her good luck.
After counting the time, the two of them walked back.
When they got on the elevator, there were a lot of people, so they kept standing back and were pushed to the back. There were two big men in front of them blocking them.
On the second floor, the elevator stopped again, and Ji Zilan and Lin Yan walked in. They were still talking. Lin Yan's mouth was still bruised, and she became emotional when she spoke, "He owes you so much." With so much money, how could I keep this child? The rings are all fake, and you still want me to marry him? Dream on! Fortunately, I didn’t go with him to get the certificate. I knew he was not a good person! He started to fight with me, and I I didn’t let him get any advantage either!”
"It's not too late to know now. Stop your losses as soon as possible. I'll accompany you when the surgery happens." Ji Zilan comforted her.
"Let's make an appointment first." Lin Yan said, still not relieved, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice. Ji Zilan felt embarrassed, and she was in the elevator, so she could only agree symbolically, trying to change the subject.
Lin Yan really moved, to Ji Huai and Shen Qingqing, "Hey, what happened to your cousin who bought the ring? Isn't he very stingy? Why did you really buy it? Didn't you make a fuss when you got home?"
Shen Qingqing recognized her and originally wanted to wait until she got out of the elevator to say hello, but unexpectedly, she overheard her gossip.
"I don't know. It is said that he made some money online. His wife is very talkative and has many tricks to deal with him since they were in love. He has never seen any women. She just coaxed the money out." Ji Zilan When Shen Qingqing was mentioned, his tone was very disdainful.
Gutong stretched out his hand and poked it, then looked at Ji Zilan and asked with his eyes, "I remember she is Ji Huai's cousin?"
Shen Qingqing remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Men who have never met a woman are really hungry. If someone marries you, marry him as soon as possible." Lin Yan is not shy about talking about this topic in public places, and she looks like she understands it well. After speaking, she adds, "It's a shame." If your brother didn’t marry her, she would have to marry your cousin to make trouble.”
"My brother doesn't have to worry about a girlfriend. When we introduced her, her family was quite satisfied with my family and my brother. She probably liked my brother a little bit, but my family didn't think so. We haven't exchanged contact information yet. I Mom refused directly, there was no way she could marry in," Ji Zilan said.
"No, this counts as marrying into your family, but she didn't marry your brother. But she is really not afraid of embarrassment. Your cousin also knows about her previous blind date with your brother?" Lin Yan was very curious about this.
"I didn't know at first, but when I told my mother about it during the Chinese New Year last year, he overheard it, and his face turned dark at that time. I guess his parents knew about it, but didn't care. He should be very concerned about it. They had a fight in the first grade of junior high school. There was a fight, but I was listening to it. How could my cousin dare to yell at her before? That time she was so angry that she cried." Ji Zilan had been feeling aggrieved recently, and when she talked about it, she snorted twice. "Don't look at the surface and think how good she is. I remember that when we went back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them looked uglier than the other. Then we came back again and they had a quarrel in the car."
Lin Yan's bad mood was a little diverted, "Don't you still like your brother being discovered by her husband? Can that man tolerate this? Your brother doesn't like it, but your cousin picked him up and took him home."
"That's the matter between them and their husband. If you don't like her, you just don't like her. What can you do?" Ji Zilan said helplessly.
The elevator rose to the fifth floor and the door opened. Someone was already waiting at the door. People in the elevator also walked out one after another. Lin Yan walked out and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't marry your cousin, but Well, she also likes that your cousin is an only child and has a house, so maybe she wants to live a good life for your family."
Ji Zilan disagreed and even thought it was funny, and followed the crowd out, "What's so good? You probably don't know how loud the noise is behind closed doors. Do you really think that my cousin is honest? He is very stubborn, stingy and vengeful. This matter He will probably have to suffer for the rest of his life, and he will probably try different tricks, it’s no wonder she can live a good life."
"Ouch." Gu Tong came out, looked at the two people in front of him, and said sarcastically, "Those who didn't know would have thought that your family has hundreds of billions of assets, and your brother is the best among people. Everyone is rushing to get married, and you can't get married. I want to take a shortcut and marry a relative of yours just to see your brother more. How shameless do you have to be to say that?"
Ji Zilan and Lin Yan didn't think Gu Tong was talking about them at first, but they turned around later. She didn't know Gu Tong, but she saw Shen Qingqing standing next to them.
I was caught saying bad things about people behind their backs, and I felt a little bit embarrassed on my face. After all, we were still part of the same family, and we would never see each other again without looking up.
Gu Tong looked at them without fear, and then said, "You are so ordinary and confident. Anyway, we can't compare to our shame."
"Sister." Shen Qingqing had no expression on her face, and could not tell whether she was happy or angry. She even called her, but directly raised her doubts, "Are the parties you are talking about Ji Huai and me?"
If it weren't for the fact that there were only two brothers in the Ji family, she would have thought she heard wrongly.
Ji Zilan is an arrogant person. Even if she is caught on the spot, even if she knows that she is exaggerating and this matter is wrong, she will not feel that she is wrong, let alone say soft words.
So what happened? Isn't that true
"If my memory is correct, why don't I remember that I went on a blind date with Ji Xi? The only blind date I've ever seen is Ji Huai. How come I've become so disdainful to you that your family doesn't like me? Why? Have I fallen in love with Ji Xi?" When she talked about this, her face changed a little and she was very unhappy.
Who can be happy when someone is suddenly labeled for something inexplicable
Gu Tong originally thought that this was really happening, but after a long time, Shen Qingqing didn't know about it at all, so she laughed, "I mean, it turns out that I directed and acted by myself. How shameless are you? Who do you think your brother is? Who is he? Like them all? Let me tell you, you just feel good about yourself. Why do you think your brother is better than others? Why does your brother have an aunt like you? Or why can’t he afford a house? You have been out in society for so many years. Haven’t I taught you how to behave?”
“Did society fail or did you fail?”
Lin Yan was still there, so of course Ji Zilan wanted to save face, so she immediately retorted, "Why haven't you been on a blind date? My family didn't agree, so you didn't meet."
Isn't this because their family doesn't like Shen Qingqing
Shen Qingqing laughed angrily, "Your family didn't agree. How did you know that my family agreed?"
Ji Zilan saw that the people who had just taken the elevator were still standing not far away watching the show, and she was about to fight over who would win or lose, "You have to understand that your parents also liked my brother back then and praised him a lot, and I also understood Let me tell you, when you were working in the town, our family didn’t think it was okay.”
Shen Qingqing took a deep breath. She really thought it was funny. Instead, she lost her temper and looked at Ji Zilan who felt good about herself. "We are a small place. When girls reach the marriageable age, there are many people who want to kiss each other. I When parents see someone else’s son, will they say something bad to their face? Even if they have to decline politely, they will politely blame themselves for the mistake. There were so many photos sent, but my parents didn’t say anything bad about it.”
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen Ji Xi's photos. I don't know that this blind date has ever existed. If I knew about it, I wouldn't go to meet him. If it caused you any misunderstanding, I will explain it clearly here. Regarding your matchmaking My question is, if I understand correctly, your salary and the salary of the quarter seats are not high. You are still in a private company, so why do you have such a strong sense of superiority? Including benefits, is your salary really higher than mine? "
Gutong also helped: "It's true that your family is too polite. Others won't be so polite, so of course they have to find fault."
Ji Zilan's face turned green, but she still said, "The mouth is on you. Whatever you say is what you say. What can I do to you?"
She didn't want to admit that it was her own fault. She always felt that their family looked down on Shen Qingqing, so she married Ji Huai. Now that she was being retorted, she couldn't say a word to refute.
Ji Xi and she also passed the entrance examination for public institutions, but failed, so they were forced to stay in private companies. After the age of thirty-five, they could not take the entrance examination, so she had been very impatient in recent years.
"Ji Huai and I are classmates in junior high school. We are in the next class. I have known him for a long time. When I found out that he was on a blind date, I took the initiative to ask for his contact information. I also took the initiative to pursue him. I wanted to marry him, not him. For your family." Shen Qingqing always smiled and said this, but her tone was a bit serious, "Some words have to be thought through before saying it. How do you know that we are not doing well? Are you doing well?"
Ever since she got married, she has been on blind dates every now and then. One of the blind dates was a cheating one, and if she was cheating on her at home, she would just complain, dislike, and curse. No one in her mouth was a normal person.
Others have personality problems and are weird, but she is normal.
