After the summer vacation, Xiang Nan and Ling Xiangqian only went out to play together for one day, and then started their study career again.
"Sissi, your grades are already very good now. I think it will be fine even if you relax for a few days." Xiang Nan persuaded with a smile, "Don't push yourself too hard."
"I relax, but others don't." Ling Xiangqian waved her hand and said, "Look, just this summer vacation, I don't know how many students have signed up for cram schools, or are doing exam papers at home."
Xiang Nan was stunned and nodded.
Holidays are indeed the best opportunity for many students to overtake in corners. While others are playing, he or she is studying hard. As the saying goes, every minute of hard work equals a minute of talent, and hard work will naturally pay off.
Although Ling Xiangqian ranks first in the rankings all year round, she can easily be knocked down if she is not careful.
After all, everyone suffers from memory loss. It takes about three months to half a year for Xiang Nan to completely forget something once he studies.
For ordinary people, if they don't memorize for a week, they will forget most of the knowledge. Therefore, they must memorize and practice repeatedly to maintain their abilities.
If Ling Xiangqian doesn't study for half a month, even if she has always ranked first in the annual rankings, there is a high probability that she will be surpassed by others. So, her choice was right.
…
During the summer vacation, not everyone is as self-disciplined as they are.
Many students are still busy surfing the Internet, playing games, sleeping in, and reading leisurely books... During this summer vacation, the sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Tomb Raider Notes" have increased again.
The hot sales of Tao Ban's books have made the two books more and more famous. Both books have hundreds of thousands of fans on Baidu Tieba, and there are thousands of new posts every day.
In addition, a large number of Taoban websites have also uploaded this book, and the click-through rate has reached one million levels. You can see how popular it is.
However, there were only two episodes of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". At the end of "Longling Cave", Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and Shirley Yang developed red spots on their bodies and were cursed by the ghost cave, and they never appeared again. Sequel.
How the gold-touching trio went to southern Yunnan to rob the tomb of the king, whether they could recover the Muchen Bead, and how to eliminate the curse on them... But many gold-touching fans are looking forward to it.
Although "Tomb Robbers' Notes" only produced one part, "Qixing Lu Palace", the structure of the grand world view has been established, and countless foreshadowings have been laid.
For example, who stole the gold-encrusted silk, what does 02200059 mean, what is the origin of the stuffy oil bottle, and who is the bloody corpse in the coffin... This also makes readers very curious.
It's just that Xiang Nan stopped serializing these two series one after another, and it's been half a year since he started writing again. Many readers also cursed him as a eunuch, saying that he only dug holes and didn't bury them.
But even so, it still does not prevent more and more readers from getting involved, and they are waiting for Xiang Nan's sequel.
Jingu Legend Magazine has received many letters, emails, and messages, hoping that they can urge Xiang Nan to resume serialization.
The strong voice of readers has also caused major publishing houses to pay more and more attention to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes".
…
library.
Xiang Nan is writing "Di Renjie: The Netherworld Taoist".
He has now written the third part of the "Detective Dee" series. The first two parts are "Tongtian Empire" and "Shendu Dragon King".
Because the subject matter is novel, the story is exciting, and the suspense is endless, it has been very popular among readers since its release. So I serialized three parts in a row.
As for the "Old Martial Arts" series, I have already finished writing "The Archer Liu Baiyuan" and "The Taoist Priest Why Bian", and are currently writing the third part "The Bodyguard Liu Anran".
Describing the lost martial arts in the form of a biography is very interesting for readers who are accustomed to martial arts.
At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated twice.
Xiang Nan was stunned, took out his cell phone and looked at it, only to see that it was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated for a moment and then hung up the phone.
These days, publishers often come to him, hoping to get the publishing rights.
But to be honest, Xiang Nan doesn't want to sell.
Mainly worried about the family's reaction, after all, Chu Guoqiang and his wife are really philistines.
He would quarrel over a few cents, but if they knew that he might earn millions, or even tens of millions, I don’t know how they would react.
For the poor, windfall is often not a good thing.
Like many foreign lottery winners, after winning huge prizes, they ate and drank and spent all their money. They spent all their money within a few years, and also developed bad habits. Their life was worse than if they had not won the lottery. forward.
There are countless such examples, so Xiang Nan naturally has to be on guard against them.
Therefore, he plans to wait until his eighteenth birthday next year before publishing a book. At that time, he can directly sign a contract with the publishing house without going through his home, and quietly make a fortune.
Then, transfer the money to your family in small sums, instead of dropping millions from the sky. Even people who are not greedy would be dizzy when they see so much money, not to mention Chu Tiankuo's parents love money so much.
…
But just as Xiang Nan hung up the phone, the phone started vibrating again, startling Ling Xiangqian.
Xiang Nan had no choice but to smile at Ling Xiangqian, and then went out with her cell phone, "Hey, who is it?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Chu Tiankuo? I am Chen Dong, the deputy general manager of Botong Culture Company. I read your book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and thought it was very good. I am interested in publishing it.
Look, do you have time? I want to have a good chat with you. "On the other side of the phone, a male voice said enthusiastically.
"No, I don't want to sell the copyright for the time being. Don't contact me again. Goodbye!" Xiang Nan said simply and hung up the phone.
But not long after hanging up, the call came in again.
When Xiang Nan saw it was still the same number, he couldn't help but feel angry, "Don't call me again. I told you I don't want to sell it."
"Mr. Chu, please listen to our terms first. We are really sincere." Chen Dong said on the phone.
"I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to talk about it. Don't bother me anymore." Xiang Nan cursed, then hung up the phone and turned off the phone.
At this point, he really misses his smartphone. Filtering with an unknown number can solve most of his worries. It’s a pity that we have to wait another five or six years before the smartphone comes out. I really miss it!
…
"Tiankuo, what happened? Who are you arguing with?" Ling Xiangqian asked curiously.
"It's a cultural company again. It wants to buy my copyright, but it can't be dumped. It's really annoying!" Xiang Nan said angrily.
Ling Xiangqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
How many students wish that their articles could be published. Xiang Nan, however, regarded those publishing houses and cultural companies as flies and mosquitoes, and was disgusted with them.
This is really comparing people to each other, it’s so irritating!
