Jiang Yucheng proved two points with practical actions—
One, life is not just about making up your mind and shouting slogans, you also have to take action and show proof.
Second, the first person who stands up and declares his trust in you is not necessarily admiring your enthusiasm, but because he urgently needs to be rescued—or, to put it bluntly, "seeking medical treatment in a hurry".
Hiukawa is a creature standing at the bottom of the top of the pyramid. He raised his head high and vigorously, and was about to launch an offensive towards the top;
Jiang Yucheng is a creature standing on the shoulders of Richuan. It seems to be at a higher height, but in fact it is in jeopardy. He always bears the fear of being surpassed and ridiculed by others... After all, he is a little transparent, holding four or five thousand dollars. The number of first prints, I am obviously still worrying about which brand of pickles with higher cost performance will be eaten next meal, but I have to stare at you: Wow, look at that big book with only 200,000 first prints that has been sold for two years Sold out, hit the street, hit the street, tsk tsk tsk!
It's not like I haven't seen this kind of creature for the first time——
Even when Mr. L wrote articles on the forum, and occasionally wrote an article with less than a hundred replies, unknown creatures would come out and post: imitation has no way out, and Mr. L finally ushered in his own dead end.
As for this kind of creature, Chuli just wants to say that she understands their existence and that it is these people who will bring invisible pressure to the great author. For this kind of person, she just wants to say:... Ma De is mentally retarded, it's none of your business !
... probably because the ruthless refusal at this moment was a bit of a blow, and Chu Li's thoughts drifted a little far, so after accepting Jiang Yucheng's returned contract, he didn't have time to react.
Jiang Yucheng watched Chu Li mechanically put away the contract, and said with a smile, "It's really embarrassing to have to admit this to fans, isn't it very disillusioned?"
Chu Li pulled up the zipper of the canvas bag, raised his head in a daze: "Huh?"
… If you want to talk about disillusionment, there is actually nothing to be disillusioned with. After all, even elementary school students know that if their academic performance declines, they will be beaten. A simple solution can be solved, so what are you waiting for
Chu Li: "Not disillusioned."
Jiang Yucheng: "I am different from Hiukawa."
Chu Li nodded: "It's different."
Hearing this, Jiang Yucheng's smile subsided a little. At this time, Chu Li seemed not to notice, lowered his head, took a sip of ice water and said to himself, "But it's so strange that each has its own differences. He rushed to publish a book in a fit of rage, and he was only thinking of hitting his father in the face with his grades; teacher, you followed the market from the very beginning, you are a proud son of heaven, a best-selling author-after all, everyone is rushing to become famous , In the end, everyone became popular too, what is the difference between high and low, what's wrong with it?"
Jiang Yucheng was taken aback.
Chu Li put down his water glass, and looked at Jiang Yucheng with an inexplicable expression on his face: "The fact that the book can be sold means that it is well written. If the book can't be sold, it is enough to make more improvements—commercial authors are not so miserable, and I really don't have the slightest desire to write in my heart." , I can’t hold back any blockbuster works.”
Jiang Yucheng: "..."
Chu Li waved his hands, and looked like someone who came here: "You have been tricked by Mr. Hiukawa, do you really think he is nobler than you? Tsk tsk, this person is best at talking about the dead, so you should talk to him about life if you have nothing to do. Talking about ideals is poisonous."
Jiang Yucheng stared at Chu Li for a few seconds, and for a while he seemed to be looking at some magical creature. After a long time, those originally bottomless eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his eyes softened, and he laughed loudly.
I can't wait to record a voice and send it to Hiukawa.
After laughing enough, he took the menu and stuffed it to Chu Li, telling her to order casually, he treats guests, Chu Li was not polite, grabbed the menu and ordered a bunch of meat - after all, you can fight when you are full. After ten days, "Luohe Divine Book" began to publicize the pre-sale listing to major booksellers. This is a tough battle that cannot be lost, and there is nothing wrong with it.
…
night.
seven o'clock.
At the beginning, when Li was full of food and drink, he took out his small notebook and seriously asked Jiang Yucheng about his experience in sales and publicity of physical books, and prepared to press Hiukawa's head and let him cooperate with him when the time came—— City B In a small building in a high-end community in the center, a man was squatting next to the dog bowl, holding a box of hollowed-out canned dog food in his hand, watching the big dog eat dog food mixed with last night's leftovers.
Maybe the man's eyes were too hot, the dog raised his head to look at him halfway through eating, his almond-like dog eyes flickered, and his big paws pushed the dog bowl into his arms.
The man reached out and wiped the grains of rice off the dog's nose: "I'm hungry, but I'm not so corrupt that I want to grab leftovers from you."
As he said that, he looked down at the big piece of meat mixed with the leftovers, and paused: "Although I say I'm a little envious of you, at least there are still canned food, and there is no instant noodles for people to eat at home."
There used to be always...
It's just that since someone moved here, you have to eat regularly and at fixed times, and you have to eat instant noodles. It seems that you have never bought instant noodles again? Ah, this kind of change that happened without knowing it is really terrible.
Hiukawa thought, took out his phone, first ordered three boxes of instant noodles at a certain treasure, and then wanted to order a takeaway by the way, but entered the takeaway app, chose what to eat for a long time, and finally quit with a shaking hand: It feels like If you order takeaway, you will lose.
But I had to do something with my mobile phone taken out, so I found someone's number and sent a text message: [I feed the dog, what do I need you for.]
Ten past seven.
Hiukawa coded for more than an hour, and came up with more than four characters, posted Weibo updates, read a wave of "sofa", "I am a sofa", "ah, it's updated", "sit on the floor first and then watch the update "After comments like that, I raised my head and looked at the clock, it was half past eight in the evening.
Er Gouzi opened the door with the leash in his mouth, and squatted down next to him eagerly: time for a walk.
The man sighed, feeling that the familiar life rhythm of "single men and dogs" has come back again, he stood up and put the dog on a leash, and led the dog out... The combination of a handsome guy and a big dog is always a must in a walking place Super star, after receiving countless little girls on the road asking "touch your head, by the way, what kind of dog is this", the man stood on the walking bridge that he must pass every time he took a walk, took out his mobile phone, and typed: [The dog has slipped away , what do you want.]
Still no response.
Your phone is out of battery
Or was he already killed by Jiang Yucheng—with that toe, everyone knew that the contract with the first printing volume of no more than 100,000 shredded the paper and cut his throat to death
Or maybe a fan meets Da Jinfeng Yulu, and the two of them are alone at the dining table, expressing affection and mutual affection...
Hikawa's eyebrows twitched.
Almost without hesitation, the next second he took out the phone that had been put back in his pocket, entered WeChat, and found the guy named "Jiang Yucheng"—
[Hikawa: Are you done?]
[Hikawa: How long does it take to make a contract?]
[Hi Chuan: Can it be better? People are starving to death, and they haven't eaten yet after writing the manuscript! ! ! Return me to cook! ! ! ! ! !]
[Hikawa: ... No, return my editor! ! ! ! !]
[Hi Chuan: I can't eat without giving her the manuscript!]
[Hikawa: Are you trying to starve me to death? !]
The above, roaring six bursts, perfectly embodies the chaotic mental state of a person who is so hungry that he is in a trance.
The man put away his cell phone, and thought to himself, don't hold on, let's go order takeaway. It's better to lose once in a while than starve to death. Only after eating can I have the strength to make a phone call and ask her to dig a hole to bury herself... Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a familiar voice called "teacher" behind me, and then the sound of "da da" duckling walking on the green brick road.
Hiukawa: "..."
Leading the second dog, the man faced Jiang He without any fluctuations in his heart, and he didn't even look back. He thought blankly: This is all a hallucination.
Until the second dog at his feet immediately jumped up from the original "lying" position, pricked up his ears, wagged his tail and barked "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" behind him—
Hiukawa: "..."
Either the little girl who lived in the attic of his house really came, or the hell really happened.
The man turned around expressionlessly, and at a glance, he saw the little girl with a canvas satchel running towards this side while waving her hands—she really ran like a duckling, and her shadow was stretched very long under the streetlights. long.
Jumping and jumping, very lively.
Although junior high school students are probably not happy to walk like this now.
The man let go of the dog leash, watched the giant Alaska jump out and gave Chu Li a big hug.
The man raised his lips.
Standing on the same spot, watching the little girl who was half his head shorter lead the two dogs to walk in front of him, when the familiar mixed smell of sunlight, faint sweat smell and almost imperceptible bath liquid came into his nostrils In the middle, he watched her stand still in front of him, and said breathlessly: "I was afraid that I would not be able to catch the subway, so I hurriedly finished my meal and asked Mr. Jiang Yucheng for some experience in selling books and publicity. The secret of dealing with physical booksellers, this is back, and I just saw you walking here... Teacher, have you eaten yet? You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I see that your Weibo has been updated, so you won’t be hungry. —”
A lot of random thoughts, accompanied by the evening wind, entered the man's ears, and the curve of the upturned lips became clearer.
Lowering her head, she obviously found that she was actually in a good mood, but her mouth was still unreasonable: "I am preparing to order takeaway, and I will starve to death when you are hungry... Who would have known that it would be so fun chatting with my long-awaited Da Da?" What time are you coming back tonight?"
"How long can I return if I don't come back now? How much does it cost to take a taxi when the subway is gone!" Chu Li stopped thinking, raised his head and glared at him, "Mr. Come back after dinner…”
Chu Li paused, and suddenly thought of someone's bad history in the morning, his face changed, and he grabbed the sleeve of the man next to him: "You didn't send a text message to Mr. Jiang Yucheng, did you?"
Hiukawa: "..."
That still has a little to say.
He turned sideways and took out his mobile phone, entered WeChat, and wanted to withdraw the Roaring Six Combo, but unfortunately found that the "Undo" option had disappeared.
Hiukawa: "..."
Silently stuffing the phone back into the pocket of his trousers, he lowered his head and looked at the little girl beside him who was looking at him vigilantly. The man said with a serious face, "What can I say? It's rare for a master like me to be so angry with Jiang Yucheng." Do you want to be an editor? You really think highly of yourself... "
Chu Li puffed up his face.
Hiukawa glanced at it, resisted the urge to poke, twisted his face away, frowned, quickened his pace and said impatiently: "Hurry up and order takeaway, I'm starving to death."
Chu Li could only trot to keep up: "I'm back, why don't you order takeaway? There's still beef, carrots and potatoes in the refrigerator. I'll make soup and rice for you..."
"Takeaway, I want to eat takeaway, braised chicken and rice."
"That stuff is heavy on oil and taste. What's delicious? My daily schedule is upside down and I love to eat takeout. Can you live past thirty? Who will write for me when you die..."
"..."
When it came, it was a man and a dog.
When they left, it was a man, a woman and a dog.
When the three of them go side by side and gradually go away...
The little girl's thoughts finally ended in the man's rough actions—amidst the buzzing noise in his ear, he didn't listen to a word, he just raised his big hand, climbed up to the back of her head, and inserted his fingertips into her soft In the short hair, then grabbed her head and pressed it down hard!
Chu Li staggered forward, raised her head angrily, and at the same time, she heard the man beside her say lazily: "Shut up, let people who don't return home dare to talk so much nonsense."
"...I'm here for the dream—"
"One more nonsense line from a movie, you sleep outside the yard tonight, and I will call the police if you take a step closer to my house."
"..."
