Gu Yu said he had something to do the next day, and it was true. It wasn't just evening self-study, he asked the dean for half a day off.
Gu Yu made an appointment with Penguin, Langdon, Collins and two local Korean publishing houses at a high-end coffee shop in Jiangnan, one every hour, half an hour apart. It is estimated that the publishing houses can still meet.
The editors of the publishing house were all surprised by Gu Yu's age and maturity that did not match his age. Each company set their own conditions.
Although this science fiction novel has strong mass consumption and has always been a hot topic for human society to explore space and Mars, the 18-year-old new talented writer also has a selling point.
But he is a newcomer after all. In addition to publicity, promotion and signings, the copyright share offered is generally 10% to 15%, which is actually very high for a newcomer.
Gu Yu said that he would think about it for two days. On Sunday, we would still be here at this time. We would talk again and send away the last local Korean publishing house. Gu Yu called a taxi and returned to Ssangmundong.
When Gu Yu returned home, he put down the materials given by various publishing houses, checked the time, picked up the metal bat placed at the door, and went out.
The three people from Donglong who tried for the second time relied on their military uniforms to get through and buy movie tickets, but they were caught by the dean who had been waiting there all morning. They were also caught by the three Mad Dogs.
Donglong's father was naturally a strict teacher who gave birth to good disciples, admonished and took action, and finally let a few people go for the sake of the student council president Shanyu.
This made Mad Dog even more jealous and resentful, so he called a few people to the alley behind a movie theater, ready to bully and vent their anger, but Gu Yu was not there.
"Excellent President, thank you."
Mad Dog pushed Shan Yu with his fist and said in a bad tone. Looking at Shan Yu's cold eyes, Mad Dog looked at it mockingly and happened to see the necklace Shan Yu wore during the last conflict.
"What is this? Didn't I tell you to take it off? I asked you to fucking take it off, you kid..."
"Pound." This is the crisp sound made by the metal bat hitting.
"Ah~ah~it hurts! It hurts! Blood! I'm bleeding."
"Why do you play so much every day, mad dog?"
Gu Yu's sudden blow knocked the mad dog to the ground, covering his head and wailing. The two boys squatting behind to watch the show were frightened by the scene in front of them.
Gu Yu turned around and looked at the two of them with a half-smiling expression. The followers were so frightened that they wanted to run away immediately.
"Did I let you go?"
Gu Yu's calm voice sounded like the death charm from hell to the two of them, and they froze in place in fear.
This was the first time Shan Yu had seen such a ruthless Gu Yu. He had only heard Dong Long describe the last time he fried rice cakes in Brazil, and he was stunned.
"Gu Yu, don't make the matter a big deal. Just teach him a lesson. It's not worth it for this kind of person."
Donglong and Zhenghuan gained some resistance and quickly spoke out to persuade Gu Yu.
"Don't worry, I'm sensible, come here and kneel down." Gu Yu said to the two followers.
The situation at the scene changed. Mad Dog covered his head and knelt in front of Gu Yu and the others with the other two.
"Senior, do you have a headache? Do you want me to treat it for you? Have you ever heard of fighting fire with fire?"
Gu Yu looked kind and waved the bat, but in the eyes of the mad dog, he looked so terrifying and vicious.
"No... no need, Gu Yu, it's my fault. Don't worry, we won't appear in front of you again in the future. Shan Yu, I'm sorry, it's my bad mouth. Can you ask Gu Yu to let me go?" Mad Dog Said with a cry.
"Gu Yu, don't make the matter a big deal. There's no need to talk to them. They will graduate soon and we won't see each other again."
Seeing such a miserable mad dog, Shan Yu was still kind after all, and spoke out to persuade Gu Yu.
Gu Yu glanced at his friends, who all had worried expressions on their faces, and then looked at the three kneeling people.
"You have to thank Shanyu. This is 100,000. Go to the clinic to bandage it. However, if there is another time, let me think about how much a concussion costs. Don't worry, you get what you pay for."
"I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, Shanyu, thank you! Thank you!" Mad Dog and his followers took the money and quickly disappeared into the alley.
"Gu Yu, thank you, but can you not be so bloody and violent next time, because if they enter the police station, they won't be able to do it."
Shan Yu looked at the background of Mad Dog and the others panicking and thanked Gu Yu, but he was also worried that Gu Yu was always so violent and something would happen in the future.
"Don't worry, I'm only 18. I won't do it myself after I turn 19. Besides, I have money."
Faced with Gu Yu's true description, what else could Shan Yu and the others say.
"By the way, have you watched the movie? Why are the mad dogs stuck here?" Gu Yu asked.
"Forget it, we all bought the tickets, but it turned out that my dad was squatting inside, and the mad dog wanted to go to the movie, so they were arrested by the director." Donglong looked helpless and depressed.
"Gu Yu, aren't you busy today? Why are you here, holding a bat?" Zhenghuan asked in confusion.
"I finished my work and called a taxi back. I happened to see you and the mad dog walking together. I guessed that he wanted to cause trouble for you, so I came to fight against the injustice."
Gu Yu and others were talking as they walked, and Zheng Huan also held the bat in his hand. He imitated Gu Yu's swing just now and almost hit Donglong next to him.
Donglong gave Zhenghuan a roll of his eyes, and then said to Gu Yu, "Fortunately, I have you, otherwise, the mad dog probably won't let it go today, ah~ when can I see "One Eyebrow Taoist Sister"!"
"I got a pirated version, do you want to see it?" Gu Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Really? Gu Yu, from today on, you are my idol!"
"Also my idol!"
Donglong and Zhenghuan rushed over and hugged Gu Yu. Gu Yu pushed them away in disgust, while Shanyu smiled on the side.
"I helped you out again today, and I invited you to watch a movie. Can you treat me to a late-night snack?"
"I have to, let's go buy fried chicken and beer."
In the dim alley, the memory of the 18-year-old youth is being expressed, and the innocent and beautiful friendship is floating along with the slapstick and joking.
A few days later, Deshan's family returned to Shuangmendong. Deshan went to Gu Yu's house. The moment he saw Gu Yu, he couldn't control his emotions and threw himself into Gu Yu's arms and cried bitterly.
With Gu Yu's comfort, she gradually calmed down and talked to Gu Yu about her grandma's funeral in the past few days.
Adults are just pretending to be strong to bear the burden of age. Adults will also feel pain.
Birth, old age, illness, death, and the death of loved ones are so unacceptable, but they must be accepted and life must go on.
After finishing the Orient Securities Cup Three-Nation Go Tournament held in China, Aze returned to Seoul, South Korea, and brought a bottle of Moutai to his friends. He also helped Gu Yu buy two boxes of Moutai through international logistics.
The friends' base gradually shifted from Aze's house to Gu Yu's house, because after all, Aze's father was here, and Gu Yu was quite free.
After Aze's birthday party, Gu Yu smiled when he looked at the people who were already staggering around. Ten cups of wine were more than enough to deal with these people. Gu Yu carried Deshan to the bed and covered her with a quilt, regardless of the number of people in the living room. Man, put on a coat and walked out the door.
"Oh, it's Gu Yu, why are you out? Where are Deshan and the others?" Gu Yu bowed slightly as he looked at Cheng Dongyi, who was walking towards him and talking to him with a smile.
"Uncle, I'm going out to buy some hot food, they are still at home."
"Haha, let's have a drink with uncle."
The two sat on a bench in the public area.
"Our Gu Yu has grown into a man, we are all grown up."
Cheng Dongyi said with a smile, drank another glass of wine, and Gu Yu helped fill it up.
"Uncle, I'm sorry that I couldn't go to pay homage to Grandma Deshan when she passed away."
"You don't know why you are talking about this. It's really sad that you mention it." Cheng Dongyi's expression was a little downcast.
"Uncle, birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Happiness for the living is the best comfort for the deceased relatives."
"Gu Yu, when did you accept your parents leaving?" Cheng Dongyi asked softly.
Gu Yu was silent for a while, and the memory given by the system also appeared in his mind. Although it was unfamiliar, he felt some empathy when he looked at the child who was suddenly alone and had no one to rely on.
"Perhaps I have never accepted it. The longer time goes by, the more I will think about it, but I know what my parents hope most is that I can live a good life. For their sake and for my own sake, I should keep my thoughts in my heart, as if they are still there. It’s the same around me.”
After Cheng Dongyi heard Gu Yu's words, he was stunned for a long time, and then poured a glass of wine for Gu Yu. The two drank in silence, with their own thoughts.
