The Novelist Forced to Become Famous

Chapter 51: afternoon tea

Views:

"Teacher Jingjing, here." Jiang Baiyan, wearing a baseball cap, stretched out his hand to greet her.

Jian Jing went to look for the place where the voice came from and found that the place he had chosen was also an "L"-shaped horizontal stroke, hidden behind a screen of green plants, facing the back garden in the middle.

Many cats nap on the floor, on cat climbing frames and on swings, and the years are quiet.

"You're late." Jian Jing talked to Jiang Baiyan, but her eyes were fixed on the cat cage next to him.

Jiang Baiyan smiled and said, "It's early. I took Pudding to take a bath earlier and came here directly after getting up." He opened the cage door and took the orange cat out of it with familiarity. "Teacher Jingjing, do you want to hold her? Our Pudding is very friendly and doesn't scratch you at all."

Jian Jing was overjoyed and immediately took it and hugged it. The fat orange cat was too lazy to move and adjusted a comfortable position in her arms and continued to lie down.

"You actually have a cat." She stroked the cat's head, enjoying the happiness of having the cat in her arms.

"I adopted it in this cafe." He said, "Teacher, do you like it? The affogato in this cafe is delicious."

Jian Jing was brave enough to try: "Then this is it."

"Yeah." Jiang Baiyan placed the order skillfully with his phone, then put down the phone and said seriously, "Thank you, Teacher Jingjing, for coming out. I'm really happy."

Jian Jing couldn't help but smile. She really wasn't surprised at all why Jiang Baiyan could be successful. Not only was he sweet-talking, but he also knew how to read people's expressions. More importantly, she could feel how serious he was about his work.

Everyone likes people who work hard and are reliable.

"You're welcome. You've helped me a lot." Jian Jing took out a set of paper from her canvas bag. "This is for you. It's an introduction to passwords. In fact, the passwords compiled by the program team are all common types of passwords. It's easy to crack them once you understand the rules. The most difficult passwords require computers to crack."

Jiang Baiyan quickly took it and swore, "I'll definitely take a look at it."

"Don't feel pressured. After all, the show is just a show." Jian Jing said, "It's more fun to treat it as a game."

Jiang Baiyan put on his glasses with a low degree of prescription and glanced through the catalog, saying, "You know, maybe the audience doesn't expect to see me decipher the code, but every time someone else solves it... I want to do better."

Jian Jing's eyes suddenly softened.

"Passwords can be simply divided into several types: numbers, letters, graphics, and phonetic symbols," she summarized. "Numbers and letters can be converted into each other, and the key is usually the alphabet, keyboard, or Morse code."

"Teacher, please take notes." Jiang Baiyan took out his notebook and buried his head in taking notes.

She slowed down her speech: "If you have no idea, you should get rid of the concept of numbers and letters and consider the graphics themselves, such as gestures, partitions, directions, etc. The same goes for graphics. A triangle sometimes represents three corners, and a square represents four corners."

"Yeah." He nodded rapidly.

Jian Jing then told him about the code-making method based on the decomposition of characters and the pronunciation of words, which made him exclaim in surprise.

Half an hour later, the private lesson ended.

The main reason was that Jiang Baiyan was too serious, and Jian Jing talked too much without realizing it. Fortunately, she stopped in time and didn't really treat afternoon tea as a teaching class.

"I think a cup of coffee is not enough to pay the tuition." Jiang Baiyan said, "I have to treat the teacher to a big meal."

Jian Jing laughed: "How can it be so exaggerated."

"This is my sincerity, so please don't be polite, teacher." Jiang Baiyan suddenly said seriously, "In fact, I have something else I want to ask you, teacher. I wonder if you can do it."

No one can refuse the beautiful boy's request for help, and Jian Jing is no exception.

She scratched Pudding's chin: "Do you want to ask?"

"The casting for "Devil Doctor" has already started, did you know, teacher?" He went straight to the point.

"I heard about it." Jian Jing was not stupid. She thought about it for a moment and asked, "Do you want to act?"

"Yeah, but I'm not asking the teacher to introduce me." Jiang Baiyan smiled shyly and said frankly, "I have already talked to Director Huang about it, but he said that I am not suitable for this role because the image of the devil and hide-and-seek are redundant."

Jian Jing thought about it and nodded: "It is indeed a bit true."

The devil's age is not important. The key to this role is the sense of being both good and evil, and not distinguishing between black and white. This is somewhat repetitive with the male protagonist in hide-and-seek, and is not necessarily a problem for the drama and Jiang Baiyan.

Jiang Baiyan said: "So I chose a supporting role later, and Director Huang said he would consider it. But my agent felt that the role was too small and didn't agree."

The supporting character he was talking about was the murderer of a certain case, who appeared to be well-dressed but actually killed people like crazy, and was the biggest villain in the film.

The character is good, but the problem is that he has too few scenes.

"This character..." Jian Jing chose her words carefully, "There is limited room for exploration."

Jiang Baiyan listened carefully: "Because he is a complete scum?"

"Yes." Jian Jing hesitated and gave a spoiler, "Did Director Huang tell you that there will be a new character in the second part?"

Jiang Baiyan's eyes suddenly brightened.

Jian Jing took out her phone and forwarded him the first chapter: "You can take a look first to see if you are interested. Director Huang said that if the first part is not too bad, the second part will definitely be filmed."

Jiang Baiyan lowered his head and stared at the small screen of his mobile phone: "Teacher Jingjing, please take a look first."

"Take your time to read it." Jian Jing refilled her coffee, bought a bag of chicken snacks, and fed the well-behaved Pudding.

Pudding suddenly changed from a Buddhist father-in-law to a man possessed by the most beautiful girl in the factory. He stretched out his claws domineeringly, pressed her hand tightly, and licked the chicken jerky in her palm.

Jian Jing spent money to buy love and devoted herself to petting the cat, stroking its legs, scratching its belly, and stroking its tail. She was very happy.

Jiang Baiyan read very quickly and finished the story in just a quarter of an hour.

"Is the character that Teacher Jingjing is talking about the Hunter?" He took off his glasses and leaned his head on his hand to think, "He seems to have a lot of stories."

The demon hunter made his first appearance in the murder case in the secret room of the villa, as a runner who testified for a suspect. The first impression he gave was that of a sunny and upright young man, but his eye contact with the demon hinted that the two sides had a great dispute.

Sure enough, when the case was over, the hunter went to the hospital to get medicine for someone and met the devil again.

The demon said: "You, hunter."

The first story ends.

Jian Jing said: "The hunter's ancestor released a demon, and the entire tribe was cursed. Only by killing the demon can he get rid of the curse and return to a normal life."

Jiang Baiyan was surprised: "What curse?"

"At certain moments, the hunter will lose his mind and turn into a monster," she said.

The hunter is a handsome young man, honest, brave, kind and righteous. He buys medicine for an elderly man who lives alone in the village, but he doesn't charge any errand fee. He will help customers find stray cats and rush patients to the hospital.

But such a righteous and beautiful person bears a terrible curse.

Under certain conditions, he would lose his human reason, become bloodthirsty and murderous, and become a complete monster. His father killed his mother because of this, and he...maybe one day, he would also kill the person he deeply loved.

He hated the devil and wanted to kill him.

He also hated himself, the monster in his heart was constantly devouring his sanity.

Demons roam the world, not knowing good or evil.

Hunters struggle in the world and find it difficult to transcend.

This is a wonderful character who is no less than the devil.

Jiang Baiyan said: "Teacher, do you think it's suitable?"

Jian Jing nodded.

He pondered for a while, then smiled brightly: "I understand. Thank you, Teacher Jingjing. I really don't know how to thank you."

Jian Jing: "... Don't call me teacher."

"Why?" Jiang Baiyan widened his eyes with a very cute expression.

She smiled and said, "If you just call me teacher, it will be easier to attend the class."

"So, Teacher Jingjing really does look like a teacher." Jiang Baiyan said.

Jian Jing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are they similar?"

Jiang Baiyan nodded sincerely.

Jian Jing turned her head and her eyes fell into the distant time and space: "If I didn't treat it as a person, maybe I would be a teacher."

Jiang Baiyan replied: "He must be a very patient and gentle teacher."

Jian Jing couldn't help laughing. Patient and gentle? Oh, no.

Jiang Baiyan didn't know why she was laughing, so he scratched his face and laughed too.

The sunset filled the western sky.

In the following weeks, Jian Jing was busy writing the second chapter of "Devil Doctor 2".

The case is based on the Haunted Hotel. A patient suddenly had a hysterical attack in the hospital and claimed that he was buried under the floor of the hotel and hoped that someone could rescue him.

All the doctors and nurses thought he had a mental illness, but after he regained consciousness and was examined, nothing was wrong with him. When others talked about this, he said in horror that he was a travel enthusiast and had been to such a large and old hotel before to avoid the rain.

This aroused the devil's interest, and he began to investigate the case.

Hunters too.

Jian Jing didn't want them to meet too early, so the two people developed two lines of story. Readers can piece together the whole story of the case from two perspectives, which is more complete than the simple devil's perspective in the first part.

At the same time, hunters and demons have different concepts, so their solutions are naturally very different.

The hunter advocates letting the law punish and focusing more on collecting evidence, the devil doesn't care, and he focuses all his energy on hunting down the real murderer.

Jian Jing thought about how to arrange the ending for a long time. In the end, because she hated Qi Tian's cruelty so much, she let the devil catch the murderer and eat his heart.

The second article ends.

She sent the draft to Kang Mucheng.

Kang Mucheng read it and did not give any suggestions for revision. He asked her to continue writing and then make overall adjustments after she finished.

Jian Jing: “I haven’t got any inspiration for the third story yet.”

The gold robber's case was quite intriguing, but it was too risky and she hadn't decided whether to use it.

"No hurry, take your time to write." Kang Mucheng seemed to be well prepared. "Something happened here right now, you can take two days off."

Jian Jing was alert: "What's the matter?" Could it be a kiss? !

"Visiting a senior."

The answer is unexpected.

The story goes like this: Kangshe has a friend who used to be a painter and published some well-known landscape collections. Later, as he got older, he no longer traveled around the world and sketched everywhere like he used to. He looked for a place to settle down and built a studio.

Unexpectedly, the beautifully built studio and the beautiful surrounding scenery attracted many compliments from friends. Everyone thought it would be nice to stay here for a while, so they raised funds to build a small resort hotel, where they could stay for a few days to relax.

Not long ago, Hua informed Kang She that he was going to hold a small art exhibition and invited all his old friends to participate and introduce some of his disciples to him.

Since Kang She was not available, the matter fell on Kang Mucheng's head.

Kang Mucheng thought, since others recommended the younger generation to him, he must also help his own people.

Jian Jing was not interested: "Do I have to go?"

In the past, Kang Mucheng would not force her, but Cheng Jiayou's previous incident made him quite concerned, and he said firmly: "Unless you have a reason not to go."

Jian Jing couldn't come up with a story, so she agreed reluctantly.
