After Li Shi clicked to upload, he ignored the computer. He got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window of the study room, brewed a pot of Biluochun and started to taste it.
For a monster with a physique like his, those sayings that drinking coffee and tea at night would make you unable to sleep are useless.
No matter what state he is in now, he can fall asleep whenever he wants to.
Although he is not as good as those special forces who have undergone special training and can fall asleep quickly within one or two minutes, as long as he makes up his mind to sleep, he can usually fall asleep within three to five minutes.
And basically I don’t dream.
After drinking a cup of tea, Li Shi returned to the desk, took the thick stack of manuscript paper, opened it, and read it from cover to cover again, but this time she took a pen to record the content that needed to be added while reading.
After about twenty minutes, he put down his pen.
"The focus is still on the evolution of words."
“Writing not only has the function of recording and disseminating culture and civilization, but it is also a sign of entering a civilized society.”
"And the history of the evolution of writing is actually the history of the evolution of calligraphy!"
Li Shi picked up the notebook next to him, woke up the screen, and took a look. The previously updated video had already received some views.
But he focused on the number of fans and private messages.
The number of fans has reached 39,000.
There were a lot of private messages, but when I glanced through them, I saw all kinds of reminders and weird questions from netizens, none of them from the publisher.
"It's a pity, what I thought before was too beautiful... Even if I update all the subsequent videos, the chance that the publisher will pay attention to the video and contact me is very small, so I still have to submit the article myself."
Li Shi thought for a while and felt that he could actually submit the article now.
Even if a publishing house takes a fancy to your book, the process from submission to official publication is very long. Now that I have written the first draft, I can cast a wide net in advance.
"Moreover, the areas that have just been sorted out and need to be completed are mostly in the second half."
Find the electronic file from the folder on your notebook.
I also made a personal introduction, book title, outline, copied the first two chapters...prepared the materials for submission, compressed and packaged.
After finishing these tasks, Li Shi began to search for submission candidates online.
He also thought about finding a book planning company to publish on his behalf, but he hesitated for a while and decided to give it a try first, just in case it didn't work out.
As historical books, the ideal submission target is naturally authoritative publishing houses such as Zhonghua Book Company, Changjiang Literature and Art, People's Literature, Chongwen Book Company, Yuelu Book Company, Shanghai Ancient Books, Bei Sanlian, etc.
Considering the high probability that the manuscript would not be rejected, he wished he could submit multiple manuscripts, but this was obviously inappropriate.
"Hey, Changhe Literature and Art Publishing House has a call for essays!"
While searching for submission information from various publishing houses, when Li Shi was searching Changhe Literature and Art, a call for essays came into view.
Click on it and it will be published on the official website of this publishing house.
"Scope of call for papers... Comprehensive book editorial department, dedicated to education, science popularization, social sciences, history... including history!"
Li Shi felt that participating in such an essay solicitation event would have a higher chance of rejection.
He immediately checked the requirements for manuscripts: manuscript table of contents, content introduction, author's resume, and e-book sample chapters of 10,000 to 20,000 words.
"The manuscript list was missing from the preparation before. In addition, according to the word count requirement, only one sample chapter is required."
Li Shi immediately re-prepared the submission materials. Once they were done, he didn't hesitate and sent them directly to the submission email address on the essay solicitation.
As soon as the mouse clicked to send, Li Shi couldn't help but feel excited.
This feeling was amazing. He was stunned for a while when he saw the feedback that the email had been sent successfully.
"It says a reply will be given within fifteen working days, just wait!"
…
The next day, Chen Qiuye had to go to work for the last day. She got up with Wang Yuelan at around seven in the morning, had breakfast, and Wang Yuelan still drove her to the company.
"Sister, after you pick up Li Shitou at noon, you can pick me up directly. I don't have to go to work in the afternoon, so I'm going straight to bed, hehe."
Chen Qiuye warned her on the way, the smile on her face never broke when she thought about seeing Li Shi at noon.
After not seeing him for a while, she really missed that "cruel" hard rock.
"Yeah, okay." Wang Yuelan, who was driving, agreed with a smile.
Chen Qiu arrived at the company and held a project meeting at nine o'clock.
Because the project had been approved, everyone was very happy and relaxed, so they casually made speeches, discussed how much bonus they could get from the meeting, where to go on vacation, and then the meeting adjourned.
Chen Qiuye always showed a cold face outside, including in the company, and her colleagues were used to her smile without falsehoods.
She was sitting in the first seat on the left side of the conference room, silent and fiddling with her mobile phone. Everyone thought she was using her mobile phone to read business information, but no one knew it. In fact, she was secretly checking travel guides - pretending. Anti-peeping film, you are not afraid of being seen by colleagues next to you.
After returning to her office after the meeting, the woman immediately continued to fish, posting the content she had previously checked to the "We Three" group, and discussing it with Li Shi and Wang Yuelan.
"How about we go to Haojiang to play?"
"Or go to the beach in Huizhou to play and catch the sea."
But before discussing it for a while, a phone call came in, disrupting all her plans.
The conversation lasted about twenty minutes before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, she put the phone on her desk and pondered for a while before picking up the phone again and opening WeChat: "@李石@王宇兰, Sister Shitou and Lan, the plan has changed temporarily, I may not be able to go to Hao Jiang and Huizhou are gone, (poor weakling), how about we go to Yongcheng? Yongcheng is also good, a city with hundreds of islands, and it also has beautiful beaches and sea."
Li Shi was on the high-speed rail. He smiled after seeing the message and typed: "It's okay, but what's wrong?"
Chen Qiuye: "In my former entrepreneurial team, there was a relatively important member. He started working on a project. He wanted to find investment from me and invited me to visit Yongcheng. I took this time off and will be very busy after mountain climbing, so I just I can take advantage of these few days to go and have a look.”
Next, Chen Qiuye briefly talked about her former subordinate information in the group.
The main opponent is a man, so I mentioned something specifically: "This man's name is Wu Yiming. He pursued me at the beginning, but I didn't agree, but he still worked for me. However, he knows the rules and the separation of public and private. He is attracted by me." After refusing, he has kept a certain distance in private, and now he has a partner and is married."
Chen Qiuye: "His family has resources in the semiconductor industry and is involved in entrepreneurship. I am more optimistic about the current environment."
Chen Qiuye: "@李石, what do you think about our big stone? If you agree, I will tell him. (little look of anticipation)"
Li Shi has always supported her in her own career, and Yongcheng is indeed worth visiting. He immediately replied: "Our family has to rely on you for food. Of course I support it, then go to Yongcheng."
Chen Qiuye’s message immediately returned to the group:
"(Jubilation)(Bearing Teeth)"
"Li Shitou, don't worry, I promise to make you and Sister Lan fat! (Hehe)"
…
Li Shi chatted with the two women in the group for a while, and then continued to read Twenty-Four Histories.
He has already finished reading "Historical Records", and now he is reading "Hanshu".
I have only read the first chapter of the first volume, "The Chronicles of Gao Di".
I happened to see a famous scene in history: Emperor Gaozu often visited Xianyang. Looking at the Emperor of Qin, he sighed and said: "Wow, this is what a man should be like!"
Li Shi shook his head slightly, thinking, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty envied the First Emperor, but the First Emperor envied me.
Sometimes when reading history, it is easy to get confused when thinking that the characters in the book actually existed in history. He called up the study panel, took a look at it, and then put it away: My pursuit is also a long way. Although... but speaking of it, it is still just getting started. After learning the first master, it may be considered the first small step.
"When the "Pre-Qin Cultural Context Guide" is completed, I will definitely be able to make a breakthrough. At that time, I will officially start to embark on the path of becoming a calligraphy master!"
Thinking of this, Li Shi was a little excited and expected.
"As long as you become a grandmaster, your learning panel can be upgraded, and you can also get portable space... portable space!"
For a time, he had various imaginations about portable space.
What form will it take? Will it be the kind of wormhole-connected dimension? Or is it something more difficult to describe?
After arriving in Yangcheng at noon, Li Shi and Wang Yuelan first went to pick up someone from her company, returned to Xinyu Community and rested for a while, then went out together again to a teahouse near the Sacred Heart Church.
On the second floor of the teahouse, Li Shi met Wu Yiming, who wanted to invest in Chen Qiuye, and his wife Fu Mengwei.
After Wu Yiming received Chen Qiuye's reply, he immediately drove over from Yongcheng for more than two hours with the information. After knowing that the "old leader" was also there, he deliberately brought his wife with him.
Although Li Shi has been to Yangcheng many times, he doesn't have much experience going out to have tea. He usually eats Wang Yuelan's cooking at home. In addition, every time they meet, the two girls are more dependent on him and wish they could become a soft piece. The clothes were hanging on his body, so the three of them were often swaying, and the day passed.
What's more, the two fairy trees have to rely on long periods of rest and sleep to absorb the nutrients of progress.
When they were together, time always passed quickly and there was never enough.
This teahouse is called Jincan Restaurant. It is a teahouse frequented by ordinary people. The decoration is very ordinary, and the diners inside are all ordinary people who speak Cantonese.
Li Shi can understand some Cantonese, but not completely. Wang Yuelan, on the other hand, has stayed in Yangcheng longer and seems to have a talent for dialects. She can already use Cantonese for daily communication. Last time, she suddenly shouted at a critical moment. Cantonese, and even shocked Li Shi.
So the ordering was left to her, and she knew Li Shi's taste and appetite best.
Chen Qiuye had met Wu Yiming's wife before. After meeting and saying hello, he began to introduce the two parties.
Li Shi looked at the two people in front of him. Wu Yiming was not tall, about 1.72 meters tall. He had an ordinary appearance, but he was energetic and looked capable in every move he made.
It can also be seen that he respects Chen Qiuye, an old leader and future investor, and seems to regard himself as a "half subordinate".
His wife Fu Mengwei is a sweet-looking woman who can talk. She praised Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan as being beautiful as soon as they met. Of course, this is the truth. Li Shi could feel that as soon as they entered the teahouse, the eyes around them were looking at them. Never stopped.
Chen Qiuye and Wang Yuelan were already immune to such compliments.
Especially Chen Qiuye, when facing people at work, she unconsciously displays a cold temperament. However, it is her temperament that makes Fu Mengwei feel good when she politely expresses her gratitude and compliments the other person on how good-looking she is. I was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel that the effect was quite good when talking about the cosmetics I had used recently.
Li Shi was sizing up the other party, and the other party was naturally sizing up Li Shi.
Especially Wu Yiming, he was shocked when he heard Chen Qiuye say that he had a partner today - he had been in Chen Qiuye's entrepreneurial team for more than three years, and he had never seen Chen Qiuye have any affection for any young talent except himself. Personal contact, so he has always felt that this old leader may have problems in some aspects... There is a high probability that he may remain single until old age.
"It turns out that I like literature and art...Young man, is this the one?"
The main chatters at the table were naturally Chen Qiuye and Wu Yiming. They were drinking tea and discussing the project.
Li Shi's attention was mainly focused on a table of delicacies, including shrimp and golden sand red rice sausage, mango and coconut milk cake, matcha osmanthus cake, steamed shrimp and crab roe, pan-fried preserved radish cake, crystal shrimp dumplings, and crab powder and chicken soup steamed buns. Including... wait, I have to say that this kind of teahouse is ordinary in decoration, but locals around here like to come here. The taste is really good, and everything is above the standard.
Li Shi let go of his belly and seemed to eat slowly. After a while, almost all the tea on the table went into his stomach.
However, Wang Yuelan will place additional orders in a timely manner.
After almost eating, Li Shi listened to their discussion for a while.
After listening for a while, I knew that they would not be finished in a short time, so I took out my mobile phone and logged into my mailbox to see if there was any reply to last night's submission.
There is an email in the inbox, which is just a work diary sent by the assistant Zhang Huijing.
"Fifteen working days, it's quite hard to wait."
Li Shi couldn't help but smile, feeling that he hadn't had this kind of worry about gains and losses for a long time.
He is confident in his "Guide Map of Pre-Qin Culture". It is definitely a high-quality book. From the videos produced based on this book, it can be liked by netizens on station B...
Li Shi was suddenly stunned.
“When I submitted my article, I forgot to mention the video on site B.”
He quickly opened the browser on his mobile phone and found the call for papers from his favorites.
"Contact person: Director Wang; phone: 1384091...; qq: 2533..."
Li Shi thought for a while and decided that it would be awkward to make a phone call, so he might as well add QQ first and say something on QQ.
In this way, we may be able to get information faster about whether the manuscript can be approved.
He opened station b and watched the video updated last night.
The data is pretty good, with 390,000 views already.
Looking at the number of fans, it has also increased to 41,000.
I took a few screenshots, then logged into QQ, searched for the account of Director Wang of Changhe Publishing House, and applied for friends.
Still have to wait.
Li Shi returned to the main page and found that the white QQ space had new dynamic prompts. He clicked on it——
Yo, swimsuit!
He blinked, but he didn't expect that Teacher Bai's figure was well maintained. (End of chapter)
