Moonlight Variations

Chapter 94

Views:

The words "Chuli" and two candles are lit, which is no less than a thunder on the ground, and a boulder falls into the water. It smashed the harmonious atmosphere in the WeChat group, and it directly changed the usual situation of not talking in the group and just sitting on the mountain. Hudou's boss was blown out!

[Old He's family: What happened to the navy invited by the monkey? Isn't this book already won? Why was it suddenly given to the New Shield?]

Before Chu Li had time to answer, Editor-in-Chief Xia appeared at this time. With his upright image and serious voice, he ignited the fuse of this criticism meeting—

[Lao Xia: Accompanying my wife to see a doctor today, the procedures are complicated and extremely busy, and I don't have time to look at my phone. I received a phone call from Yu Yao, the editor-in-chief of "Moonlight" magazine, at around 2:00 noon, telling me that the marketing department violated the activity schedule announced on Weibo and other platforms early in the morning, and added more clocks to the "Book Buying and Group Photo" activity. It is a great disrespect to the author and readers of "Luohe Divine Book".]

[Lao Xia: On the first day of the "Voice" event, the author personally called us to ask us to adjust the time. Such a thing is already very embarrassing-in the end, even this was not done well!]

[Lao Xia: "Voice" is now very loud against Yuanyue Society on Weibo. Everyone says that we are a very bad partner. If I were the author at this time, I would not want to continue to cooperate.]

[Old Xia: Lao Liang, you come out @豆花味波味仙, tell Mr. He, what did Zhou Chuan tell you back then?]

[Old He’s family: @鲜花味浪味仙, why didn’t you explain that the author of "Luohe Divine Book" disagreed when you asked me for instructions to add a coser photo event in the afternoon?]

[Lao Xia: "Voice" I didn't look at it for a while, that's it... hey.]

[Lao Xia: Not to mention "Voice", will the sales of the "Luohe Shenshu" that have gone away add up to more than the sales of the book-buying group photo event? The copyright of his book can't be snatched up, we don't know how to cherish it!]

[Lao Xia: "Voice" even if you just look at the money, hand over "Yellow Spring Inn" to give away Xindun, this is how much money you gave away!]

This time, Teacher Xia finished what should be said and what should not be said. Chu Li finished the voice in front of Zhou Chuan, and then pressed the phone: "I feel that Teacher Xia has been directly worried by these marketing guys. .”

Hiukawa held the steering wheel with one hand: "What are you doing, you want to play the sad card with me?"

"At this moment, the boss is so anxious that he directly pulled Mr. Xia and I into a small group, and asked us if there is any other way to stabilize you..." Chu Li raised his head and looked at Zhou Chuan, "Is there?"

"No." Hirokawa remained expressionless.

"No-yes." Chu Li bowed his head and typed.

"Old Liang really went too far this time."

"This time—Lao Liang, it's really—too much," Chu Li lowered his head and continued typing, "Is there any more?"

"Don't think that authors all over the world are as easy to dismiss as Niannian or Suo Heng. Before you want to cooperate, wash your eyes and see who is sitting opposite them: Since I debuted, Zhou Chuan, except for my father Zhou Gu Mr. Xuan, who dares not to take me seriously?"

"... There are too many, too many, slow down, you think I am you, typing on the phone five times a second." Chu Li held the phone in his hand, "Let me summarize it for you, in short, Teacher Hiukawa is very rude Satisfied, very angry... Mr. He said, ask Teacher Xia to ask your father if he can persuade you—”

"..."

"You don't need to answer this question, I'll answer it for you," Chu Li typed quickly, "Mr. He—you force it like this—to call Mr. Zhou Guxuan—I'm afraid—the next book—or even—the next life—of Zhou Chuan Will not sign any more books to us."

"I am very touched."

"?"

"Eating and drinking for nothing at my house for so long, you seem to have finally figured out my temper, and you didn't eat the rice I added for nothing."

"..."

Sorry teacher! The rice tank in your house is filled with my own pocket. And, of course I know, Mr. Zhou Guxuan is like the beard on the tiger's mouth to you, let alone pull it out or fiddle with it, I'm afraid you won't even be able to take a look at it.

Chu Li poked absently with his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone, and saw that the boss completely gave up on the last one after Mr. Xia euphemistically expressed that the relationship between Hiukawa and his father was not so "traditional". With a glimmer of hope, he went back to the group, beat up the marketing department headed by Liang Surf, and frantically deducted Bo's year-end bonus to save himself a fortune.

The scene is not so unhappy.

...Although it still hurts to think of "The Inn of the Underworld" being signed by Xindun just like that-about this point, Yu Yao also pointed out this point in the private chat with Yu Yao.

[Yu Yao: One thousand wounds to the enemy, eight hundred wounds to oneself.]

[Saijun invited by the monkey: I don’t just want to take revenge on Lao Liang and Lao Miao. In fact, I will persuade Zhou Chuan whenever there is a glimmer of hope. Didn’t you know that when he told me that “the copyright was given to Xindun”, How calm the mood is, how firm the attitude is - he said that if the next series is signed to Yuanyue Club, there is no way to explain to the angry fans who are now slipped away. I think he is right.]

[Yu Yao: You completely considered for him from the perspective of the author.]

[Saijun invited by the monkey: That is, there are authors before editors—if the authors are all abandoned by their fans, what can editors do...]

[Saijun invited by the monkey: Also, the ones who hurt a thousand were only Lao Liang and the others. I still didn’t hurt myself so much. I just hugged Zhou Chuan’s thigh and begged him to start a serial in "Moonlight"...]

[Yu Yao:! ! ! !]

[Yu Yao: Why didn't you tell Mr. He in the group!]

[The sailor invited by the monkey: Say it later.]

[Saijun invited by the monkey: let him concentrate on scolding Lao Liang for a while.]

[Yu Yao:...]

[Yu Yao: You were just a naive little girl when I first recruited you. What have you experienced in the past six months? You have become what you are today... When you jumped up and down and lost your temper today, no one in the lounge dared to approach you as if you were inside There was a vicious dog, and the poor elephant didn't dare to go in to drink a sip of water. Finally, he found a vending machine and bought a bottle of water to make do with it.]

[The sailors invited by the monkey: ... ]

Above, Yu Yao was finally persuaded by Chu Li.

So far, the whole Yuanyue club has been up and down, with Lao Liang and others being severely criticized and deducting bonuses as the curtain, and finally completely accepted that because of the marketing department's mistakes and contempt for the author, they painfully gave up the copyright to the new shield club. fact.

After this incident, in the next two months, Chu Li unexpectedly relaxed——

The main reason is that as the end of the year is approaching, all projects have begun to enter a state of "reasonable slowdown", and since there is nothing to do with Hiukawa's "Yellow Spring Inn", she is even more idle.

What to do when you are free? Of course, it is to enter the editor's daily work, harass the author, urge the manuscript, ask about the progress of the outline and so on... In addition to arguing fiercely with Hiukawa on Q during working hours, Chu Li rejected Hirukawa one after another in a short period of time. The two outlines sent by Chuan made Hiukawa slightly annoyed.

One of them is boring, and the other outline... According to the outline structure, it looks like it can write a million words!

[The sailor invited by the monkey: Do you know the concept teacher of a million words? Calculated based on the 20,000 words of a serial, 600,000 words is 50 issues of the magazine, and 50 issues of the magazine are nearly four years and two months of serialization... four years and two months! In four years and two months, maybe the Yuanyue Club will go bankrupt! ! ! You want to write about our bankruptcy in Yuanyue Society! !]

[Hi Chuan: So why not, writing 20,000 words a month and getting some manuscript fees to pay utility bills?]

[The sailors invited by the monkey: ... ... ... ...]

[Hi Chuan: I don’t want to say such cruel things during the Chinese New Year. Do you think that the money for taking a bath, turning on the lights, and using the washing machine is blown from the sky?]

[The sailors invited by the monkey: ... ]

[The sailor invited by the monkey: Even this is not enough! Think again! ! ! !]

- This is Hikawa.

Besides Hiukawa, there was another ghost who also took Chuli's old life.

Since the end of the book fair, Chu Li called Ah Gui every day, in order to advance her serial outline with her—A Gui chose the topic for more than half a month, and finally Chu Li was so annoyed by her that he almost jumped off the building... One day finally After dismissing Zhou Chuan's one million-word outline, Chu Li refused to give these bastard authors any more useless work every day, so he slapped the table and decided on it directly for Ah Gui: "Isn't there a nautical-themed Danmei that is very popular?" Well, how about writing another article? By then, maybe a series of articles will be published for you with excitement, and you will not be flattered."

A Gui immediately said that your kung fu of drawing big cakes has never stopped since you entered Yuanyue Club, and publishing a series of articles is already considered the most reliable cake, I like this cake very much...

So without much hesitation, I agreed very casually, and the outline was handed in quickly-in simple terms, it was the second generation of a wealthy second-generation son of a commercial fleet tycoon. After his father died at a young age, he left his last words to let He went to find the legendary "Leviathan", the fastest ship in the Mediterranean Sea, to satisfy his father's regrets when he was young... The second ancestor used to only know how to play, so how could he know what is the fastest ship and what is "Leviathan"? Tank", with dazed eyes, it was only then that he remembered that there was a very powerful first mate in the fleet in front of his father, so he had to bear the humiliation and burden to beg that first mate...

The whole story revolves around "a black-bellied male first mate and a young captain with no status".

After reading it, Chuli thought it was pretty good, so he sent A Gui to try to write a sample draft.

- This is a ghost.

After dealing with Agui and Hiukawa, Chuli will call Suo Heng with Erlang's legs crossed during the lunch break, discussing her new serial "Shading the Sky" with her - unlike the other two precious lumps, for Suo Heng, The first ceremony implements the "education of love" method.

After the first chapter of "Shading the Sky" was released in the January issue of "Moonlight" magazine, although readers' votes have not yet started to be counted, the positive reviews are overwhelming: in the past submission mailboxes, there was basically no mention of Suo Heng. , I brought it up to ask her when she will leave and don’t waste it here, but since "Shading the Sky" was logged out, people have received sayings that "the familiar Suo Heng is back" "It is not an exaggeration to say that five-year-old fans watched The magazine really cried" ""Shading the Sky" is very good-looking"...

——As an author, in fact, you don't need too many comments, as long as the word "good-looking" is their most precious spiritual food.

When Chu Li was giving Suo Heng a feedback on the readers reading one by one on the phone, Suo Heng on the other side of the phone was holding his hands on the phone and weeping so hard that Chu Li was also affected by her so that his eyes turned red—

Lao Miao clicked his tongue next to him, not sure if it was sour or what.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the new year is about to begin.

Except for the depressing first day of New Year's Day, everything after that seems to be full of vitality and slowly moving forward.

Nothing interesting happened while waiting for the New Year's holiday. The most interesting thing is that Gu Baizhi is really a playful person. From the day she got "Huangquan Inn", she spent two months I made this short and medium story with only 100,000 words, and it was the annual meeting of Yuanyue Club on the day it went public.

On that day, in addition to being called the "Yuanyue Society Annual Meeting", it could also be called "The Good Friday of the Marketing Department", because I heard that thanks to the "Luohe Divine Book", "Yellow Spring Inn" was also very popular. The advertisement on the side is "the sales volume on the first day of listing exceeded 500,000". According to the industry's international law of directly removing a zero or directly dividing by three, the sales volume of more than 100,000 on the first day may not be able to escape...

So at this annual meeting, Liang Surf was unfortunately overturned. The annual meeting gave a Sunshine Award of 200 yuan in the lucky draw, and was criticized by Mr. He again.

Liang Surf was unlucky.

The first ceremony was very generous and drew the first prize iPhone5S, holding the iPhone4S in his hand, he was as happy as a monkey on the spot;

Later, she learned that the year-end bonus was enough for her to buy five more iPhone 5S. At that moment, Chuli almost forgot all the dissatisfaction with Yuanyue Society in the past half a year... So excited, she almost wanted to have a fight in front of hundreds of people in Yuanyue Society. The oath under the national flag declares his loyalty to Yuanyue Society!

Because I was happy, I drank a lot of wine at the annual meeting night.

Fortunately, Yu Meng didn't ask Yu Yao to take her directly to Zhou Chuan's house, but specially asked her to send herself to a place full of taxis. After watching Yu Yao go, she jumped into the taxi and ran all the way. Go back to your kennel.

When I got home at twelve o'clock, the big dog and the little dog in the puppy kennel were still awake... Chu Li stood in the courtyard of the community, looking at the orange light in the familiar house from a distance, and laughed foolishly to himself After a while: What could be happier than winning the first prize at the annual meeting, turning into a millionaire household, drinking good wine, and then returning home to find someone at home waiting for you with lights on

No.

Chuli stood in the courtyard and looked at herself happily for a long time. If she hadn't received a call from A Gui suddenly, she might have been able to stand on the road in the courtyard of the community overnight... Picking up the phone with an unsteady hand, "Hello" With a sound, it turned out that this guy, Agui, had written half of the words, and Kawen was looking for someone to chat with.

"What?! Leviathan is a monster of the deep sea, isn't the Leviathan just a name! Does emotion really exist as a monster like Leviathan?"

Opening the door and standing in the hallway to change shoes, Chu Li looked up at the man who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa with his computer in his hand, knocking, kicked off his high heels, and put on the new plush house shoes he bought for her. toasty.

Chu Li stepped into the room with a step. Sit down next to a man—

"...What do you mean I have been discussing with you for so many days what the outline is doing, my friend, you didn't tell me that you are going to write a fantasy voyage story that is too expensive for special effects to make a Hollywood movie... So the Leviathan is again The ship is a monster again?" Chu Li grabbed the phone, "Then why don't you just have a trinity, and let the black-bellied first officer be Leviathan, and it would be wonderful to look for the cubs - the one I love turns out to be by my side ~It’s funny, the closer you get, the less you can see~”

They sang without saying a word.

While singing, his hands were still carelessly grabbing the shoulders of the man next to him—he probably took a shower early, and his body smelled of lemon soap, and now he was suddenly being touched by the person next to him, and he had to hear that she was out of tune singing, the man paused his flying hands on the keyboard, and slapped her claws on her shoulders expressionlessly.

"Take it away." The man said expressionlessly.

Chu Li retracted his paws with an aggrieved face: "Oh, oh~ it's okay, it's not too late~ I believe, the future will be better than the present—"

Hiukawa threw the computer over her mouth.

After Chu Li's eyes widened slightly, he narrowed his eyes, ignored Ah Gui's question on the phone, "Why did I hear a man talking on your side", and hung up the phone directly—

Then he threw away his precious iPhone5S, grabbed Hiukawa's hand and pulled it down, carefully held it in his palm with both hands, and asked seriously: "Teacher, where is my outline?"

Hiukawa: "..."

Seeing her so drunk that his father almost didn't know who it was, the man speechlessly stretched out his hand to cover her eyes and pressed her on the sofa, wanting her to sleep quickly and change her mind—but Chu Li didn't agree at all. I understood what he meant—like a dog playing with its master, it let out a joyful bark, opened its arms and hugged the man's neck and fell back—

There was a loud crunch.

The two quickly rolled into a ball on the sofa, and before the man got up, Chu Li smiled and kissed the tip of his tall nose.

On the tip of the nose, the soft and slightly moist touch is gone, the man's eyes changed slightly, and he kept one hand on top of her to fix her twisting body, and the other big hand fixed her chin, His voice was slightly hoarse and annoyed: "Don't move."

Chu Li was silent for three seconds.

In the fourth second, when the man's hand on the side of her head was loosened, the whole tall body was slightly pressed down. Suddenly, Chu Li stretched out his hand, pressed down on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Governor, I'll look for it." , I'll go to the study to find the outline, teacher, wait."

Then with a little effort, he pushed away the man who was pressing on top of him, who hadn't put much effort in the first place, rolled over the sofa with hands and feet, and fell behind the sofa with a "bang".

Hiukawa leaned on the sofa, looked helplessly at her being thrown into a daze, and finally couldn't bear to reach out to lift her up: "Slow down..."

Chu Li ignored him, staggered towards the study without looking back, walked into the study, closed the door with a "bang", his feet softened, and he slid down against the door and sat down.

"..."

The heating was not turned on in the study, so it was a bit cold.

The cold air invaded her brain, and for a moment, a trace of clarity and daze suddenly lit up in her dark pupils that had been dazed just now: I always felt that, just now, it seemed that I was going to kiss Hiukawa again.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the twinkle in the man's eyes is clearly a sign of "kissing"

Fortunately, run fast.

But what are you running for

In the dark study room, Chu Li staggered to his feet while holding on to the doorknob, and turned on the lamp on the desk. She looked around and wondered aimlessly whether she should Randomly dragged out a book with Hiukawa's notebooks in it, pretended to be crazy and said it was an outline—

She rushed to the bookshelf, her feet were soft and her hands were soft, but she couldn't tell whether it was because of alcohol or something else. She groped aimlessly on the bookshelf and swept across a book.

Until reaching the corner of the bookshelf, I tiptoed to pull out a book like a ghost, just as I pulled it out, my hand slipped, and the whole book slipped—

The manuscript papers scattered all over her head.

Chu Li stood among the manuscript papers on the ground, with a dazed face, lowered her head, and looked at the handwritten manuscript papers—the font was the familiar Hiukawa font, but it didn’t seem to be as scribbled as the things she was writing now. With a trace of student spirit neatly.

Chu Li bent down, picked up a piece of manuscript paper, squinted his eyes slightly before he could see the content on it with the dim light... At this moment, he heard Zhou Chuan knocking on the outer door: "Are you still alive? What was the sound just now? You opened the door. Did my study fall down again? - Hey, Banana Man, are you still alive?"

First ceremony: "..."

Clenching the manuscript in her hand, the woman's sixth sense told Chu Li that she might have gotten into trouble.

Hiukawa across the door: "If you don't talk anymore, I will find the key to open the door. Hey, squeak!"

Chuli: "Squeak!"
