Li Shi was stunned for a while, not expecting that he would borrow money from him.
He didn't feel proud at all, he just felt that things were unpredictable.
If he was in college, he would never have thought that Liu Zhengdong, who was never short of money, would one day borrow money from him.
Then... should I borrow it or not?
Li Shi thought for a moment and thought that for the sake of his four-year college classmates, if it doesn't exceed five thousand yuan, then he can borrow it.
If you lend this money, be mentally prepared that you won't be able to get it back.
He is not short of money now, and the cash deposits in several bank accounts exceed 100 million. However, he and Liu Zhengdong are just ordinary classmates who have not seen each other for many years. Five thousand yuan, in Li Shi's view, is already the end of their relationship. The limit.
If Sun Shouwen asked him to borrow money, he would definitely borrow tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands without hesitation.
Li Shi typed and asked: "How much do you want to borrow?"
After a while, Liu Zhengdong's message came back: "Is two thousand yuan okay?"
Li Shi was stunned again.
I thought to myself, maybe it was because he left the impression that he was "poor" on his classmates when he was in college, so he didn't dare to borrow too much? Afraid of being rejected outright?
At this time, the other party sent another long text: "I have broken up with my family. Now I mainly support myself by delivering food and writing online articles. In this situation, I will not be able to do food delivery for at least a month or two." , the money I have can’t last me this long, and I still have to buy medicine, so I’m shamelessly talking to you.”
After Li Shi read his message, he blinked and focused on the three words "write online articles".
Because his thinking about "preaching" involves this aspect, he is very sensitive.
So, Liu Zhengdong is also writing about the Internet?
But think about it, I and Liu Zhengdong majored in literature and writing-related majors in college. Nowadays, online literature is popular, and the market is much larger than traditional literature. Most of the TV series released in the past two years are adapted from online literature.
If you can think of “preaching” through online articles, then it’s the same for him to think of earning royalties by writing online articles, so it’s not surprising.
When I was checking information before, I saw a report saying that there are more than 22 million online writers in China.
Li Shi didn't know if the number in this report was accurate, but if calculated according to this number, one of the 64 people had written an online article.
Although most people "generate electricity for love", the numbers are quite astonishing.
Li Shi lent him two thousand yuan.
After transferring the money, he asked curiously: "Which platform do you use to write your book?"
Liu Zhengdong: "Thank you! I will definitely pay it back to you as soon as possible!"
Liu Zhengdong: "I posted it on Qidian. Do you also read online articles?"
Li Shi: "Look at it occasionally."
Liu Zhengdong: "My book is called "Rebirth of 1994: The Great Era of Entertainment", and the results are not particularly good. If you are interested in this genre, please help me support it (Biya)"
Li Shi moved WeChat to the background, opened the Qidian Reading app, searched for it, and quickly found Liu Zhengdong's book.
His pen name is "Just in the East", and his book has more than 400,000 words, but the results are indeed not very good, with only more than 3,000 collected.
Li Shi clicked in and took a look.
The protagonist in the book was reborn in 1994, was admitted to the Chinese Opera, and then made money and started a career by copying books, movies and TV dramas, and reached the pinnacle of life.
"Good guy, in the first thirty chapters, I'm already having an affair with three future female stars, Yuan Xiaoquan, Zeng Xiaoli, and Hu Xiaojing... Gee, these people are in the same class."
Li Shi glanced at ten lines, quickly flipped through the first few dozen chapters, and then returned to the homepage of the book.
"The subject matter is quite attractive, but the protagonist he wrote seems a bit unlikable."
Although he didn't plan to read it, he still added it to the bookshelf, subscribed to all of it, and voted for a monthly ticket he had saved from subscribing to "Lord of Mysteries".
"A monthly pass is of little use to those great masters, but it is somewhat of an encouragement to low-level writers like Liu Zhengdong."
…
In the next two days, Li Shi didn't go anywhere and stayed at home.
Except for writing posts for an hour when I wake up in the morning, the rest of the time is basically spent on the history textbooks of Liver High School.
The time has come to January 23rd, the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which is a time for getting married, traveling, praying for blessings, offering sacrifices, breaking ground, and raising beams.
There are still more than three weeks until the Chinese New Year.
This morning, Li Shi and Wang Yuelan got up early. After breakfast, they packed their things and went out. They called an online taxi and came to the South High-speed Railway Station together.
"Let me know in the WeChat group when you get on the bus, and I'll go get the bus first."
At 8:40, Li Shi stood up and hugged Wang Yuelan. After giving a few instructions, he took his backpack and went to get in the car.
This time, the two had different destinations. Wang Yuelan went to Yangcheng to find Chen Qiuye, while he returned to his hometown to inspect and accept the self-built house.
At present, the main body and hard decoration of the self-built house have been completed. Assistant Zhang Huijing and a third party have already made a preliminary inspection and are waiting for his final confirmation so that he can continue with the soft decoration.
When she arrived in Zhaoyang County, Zhang Huijing drove from the village early, picked up his people immediately, and then drove back without stopping.
Although he has always paid attention to self-built houses, he was busy with studies and other things, so he didn't pay much attention to it, so it was the first time he saw a fully completed courtyard house in reality.
It is built with blue bricks, white walls and gray tiles against the mountain. After cleaning up the construction waste inside and outside, it looks very antique and in line with the traditional aesthetics of the Chinese people.
When walking into the yard, especially inside the house, it is a new Chinese-style design. When designing it, Li Shi emphasized that it should be more reflected in the comfort of living.
Three floors, one floor at a time.
After the acceptance, several parties discussed the subsequent soft decoration and surrounding environment creation and other finishing projects.
"The furniture wood that needs to be made by the experienced craftsmen on site has been prepared. After the acceptance here today, it can be shipped immediately tomorrow."
"In addition, the curtains..."
Li Shi signed, and as before, he left these trivial matters to his assistant Zhang Huijing to handle and deal with them. He came to his mother's place and planned to discuss New Year arrangements with her.
In the past, I planned to celebrate the New Year in a newly built self-built house, but now it seems that it will take a few months to complete the self-built house. If you include a half-month break during the New Year, it will take two months.
So we had agreed before that this year we would celebrate the New Year at Dapinglayer in Tanzhou.
But when he told his mother about this, he didn't mention that there would be two more women in the family.
When I come back this time, the acceptance check is actually secondary. The most important thing is to report it to my mother first so that she can be mentally prepared.
I found my mother chatting with a group of aunties on the Shaigu Ping in front of Li Qiaona's house, and called her aside.
"Mom, I have something great to tell you."
Li Shiyan smiled, which immediately aroused Li's mother's curiosity, and quickly asked: "Son, what's a good thing?" (End of Chapter)
