"I'm not here to sell you, I'm also here to find a house." Li Hugo said, "Hey, what are you doing in the capital Longjing? Beidiao?"
"Yes, I just graduated from college, but now I have found a good job!" Liu Mang was very excited. Hearing that Li Huguo was a fellow traveler looking for a house, he immediately became interested.
Li Yuguo and Liu Mang walked together, and the residential buildings along the way made him very emotional. According to Li Huguo's memory, I am afraid that more than a hundred years have passed. Now that I have returned to the old place, this feeling is nothing to mention. How amazing.
"What job?"
"Write! Xiao! Tell me!" Liu Mang clenched his fist and said, "I have signed up for a website now. This website is very suitable for me. I get a thousand yuan for perfect attendance every month. Counting the share, I should get two thousand yuan a month. no problem!"
Li Yuguo smiled. This was indeed his former self: "Do you know how fierce the competition for online articles is now? And for two thousand yuan, I'm afraid even if you rent a house worth one thousand yuan, you can only use the same toilet as other people's houses, and Add in food and you won’t be able to save money at all.”
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. I believe that as long as I persist, there will be no problem!" Liu Mang said.
Looking at this young self, Li Yuguo wanted to tell him to change his career. Internet writing is like a pyramid. People always see the people at the top of the pyramid, such as the fourth young master of the Tang family, Jin Can Tu Tu, Gou A first-class master who is tired of waiting, now Liu Mang has no hope at all except to rush to the street or rush to the street.
You have to know that I have been writing for five years, but in the end I am still the lowest writer, with no hope...
Thinking of this, Li Yuguo's heart felt a little heavy: "It doesn't matter, you choose your own path... I can only say I wish you good luck."
"Come and sit at my house. I always feel that I have a special affinity with you. Wait... I don't mean that. I like girls, and I don't like men!" Liu Mang said quickly.
Li Yuguo was happy: "Okay, let's see how wet you are!"
Perhaps because they have similar souls, the two of them actually felt like they had met each other so late. When they came to the rental house in this scene, Li Yuguo looked at everything familiar here and suddenly felt like he was returning to the Tang Dynasty in a dream. The rental house is under the corridor, so the rent is very cheap.
The only difference was that at night when I was sleeping, there were people coming in and out of the corridor, and there were heavy footsteps.
"When I become famous, I want to change to a bigger house, oh no... buy a big house by myself! I want one with two bedrooms and one living room!" Liu Mang looked persistent.
Li Huguo skillfully turned on the computer and sat cross-legged on the chair: "Now do you know the direction of the popularity of online articles?"
"Of course I know, that's urban literature with a light and ambiguous character!" Liu Mang is quite familiar with these trends.
Looking at these works that he once wrote, Li Huguo shook his head and smiled bitterly. Among them happened to be his own "Reverse Three Kingdoms, The Legend of Sima Yi". Now think about it, how old-fashioned this name is.
Later, in April, the entire Internet was cracked down on pornography, and since then, the novel website I wrote was implicated and closed down. Those scenes are still vivid in my mind, and the second half of the year is very difficult. In order to persist in my dream, I dip steamed buns in soy sauce every day, and then Maintain internet fees and rent…
Tuk-tuk-tuk…
There was a knock on the door, and Liu Mang said, "Here he comes!"
"Um, you're new here, right... do you know how to use a computer?" the person said.
Li Yuguo's eyes lit up when he saw this person. He was none other than Zhang Fei, one of his few friends.
This friend is also a fan of online literature. The only difference is that Liu Mang writes novels while he reads novels. At this point in time, the market for audio novels is not very big. Most of the mobile phones used by people have ordinary functions. With a mobile phone, it is impossible to download too many apps.
As a result, many things are restricted.
But this person is much better than Li Hugo. He formed a WeChat group online, and then spontaneously created a broadcasting interest group, a group of like-minded people who got together to record some voices.
Later, it happened to be the era of audio novels, so he rose to prominence. He founded a company in the city and achieved good results.
But now Zhang Fei, like Liu Mang, is just a young man who drifted from the north.
Liu Mang was a good old man, and he got up immediately and said, "Okay, I'll help you fix it. I even repaired the computer for our school beauty before!"
"Hey, it looks like you have good luck with your love affair!" Zhang Fei patted Liu Mang on the shoulder and said.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei from the Three Kingdoms are two extremes. The Zhang Fei in front of him is a polite young man who speaks very softly. Liu Mang said: "Brother, I will keep it for dinner."
"No, I'll leave later." Li Huguo said, thinking that this guy was really relieved. He had only known him for an hour, yet he left the door open at home and let a stranger sit in front of the computer.
He took out his wallet and put all the money in it on the table. There were three hundred yuan in the wallet, and the infirmary used forty yuan. He gave Liu Mang two hundred yuan, and he only had sixty yuan left.
He paused, torn off a note, wrote the mobile phone number on it, and appetite a sentence: "My name is Li Yuguo, come on! I will come to you next time! Invite you to dinner."
After writing this note, Li Yuguo was about to leave when he saw an old photo on the wall.
The people in the photo made him tremble, and a lot of memories came out. It was a family photo. His parents had not divorced at that time, and his grandfather was still there. It was the only family photo of a family of four.
Later, when he entered elementary school a year ago, his parents parted ways. He hadn't seen this photo for a long time. When he picked it up again, he was a little lost, but he still put it down.
Because this family portrait was also one of my beliefs during the most difficult time.
Li Yuguo sighed, closed the door, and quietly exited. After all, he didn't want to disturb his former self. During that period of hard work, he might not be able to become what he is today.
When Liu Mang came back, he was holding a kettle, two buckets of instant noodles and two pork sausages. He saw the money and the message on the table, and immediately went out to look for Li Hugo, but Li Hugo had already gone away. .
"Hey, thank you, Brother Hugo! I will work hard and I will definitely become a great writer!"
With that said, Liu Mang sat in front of the computer. After soaking the instant noodles, he took the money and started to daze.
On a whim, he thought that since it was Li Huguo who invited him to dinner, he might as well not live up to his kindness. He quickly opened a novel webpage and looked at the novel he had written, and he had an inspiration.
"Li Huguo? How about I write a novel with my brother Hugo as the protagonist?" Liu Mang thought of this and just did it. He immediately deleted the manuscript of Inverse Three Kingdoms and re-wrote an urban unparalleled novel. .
"Since it's an urban category, I won't vote for this historical novel website. I'll vote for this big urban website and give it a try!" He murmured.
Exactly one or five years ago, novels about urban incomparables became very popular, but Liu Mang, who was there first, didn’t know...
But he didn't know that Li Yuguo was eating a bowl of wonton noodles in Shaxian County outside the community. He suddenly sneezed and wondered who was talking about him.
