Chapter 42 - Having trouble finding a brother
The place where Natto arranged for Li Chungang to catch the wind is a restaurant not far from the Hilton Hotel. The overall decoration is in the style of an ancient restaurant.
Counting Geng Sijia, who was temporarily recruited and courageous, plus Natto and Li Chungang, in order to facilitate the conversation or avoid some unnecessary troubles that may arise, the three of them still ordered a whole table in a separate box. vegetable.
Because it was the first time I met Li Chungang, no matter how well we chatted on the Internet, it was all fake, so the atmosphere was somewhat restrained.
The tacit understanding between the little sisters is not good because of the presence of outsiders. In the end, the three of them can only chat with each other, more or less, it is still a question between Natto and Li Chungang. answer.
“Let’s sign a contract with Manjinghua Publishing House tomorrow afternoon. After getting up tomorrow morning, I will show you, Mr. Chungang, to visit our Longteng headquarters?”
“Longteng headquarters? Where do you edit your work? If it doesn’t affect your daily work, I’m curious.”
Basically, the writers and readers are generally aware of the daily work of the editors, but there are not many people who can see it in person. Most of them are rumors and rumors spread over time.
What is Longteng in charge of the editor’s shop bullying customers, ignoring the private chats of the writers, and often waiting for a whole day without a reply.
All editors review manuscripts with ten lines at a time. If new bookmarks are not signed in the library, it is purely based on mood and preferences.
what…
“Of course there is no problem. In fact, our editor’s work is not as mysterious as the rumors from the outside world. In fact, most of the time is spent on reviewing manuscripts. It depends on the new book submissions sent by other authors to the mailbox, and the website is finished. New books in stock, etc…
A bottle of Haoshi a month is basically not running. There are also some daily regular meetings, discussions within the group, seminars on the wind direction of the entire classified channel, etc…
In addition, I also need to give some suggestions to the authors’ books, and strive for and arrange weekly recommended resources. In fact, it’s not that our editors don’t want to take care of the authors. They are too busy to reply! “
On weekdays, I go out with some little sisters on vacation. Besides entertainment gossip, the content of small talk is which brand has new lipsticks and bags. I never automatically chat with them about editing work.
It’s not that we can’t talk, but that these individuals can’t understand it.
Today, when I met Li Chungang, an author from the same circle, it was like opening a conversation box all of a sudden, and I immediately started to suffer.
Fortunately, Geng Sijia, who was next to him, pretended to cough a few times to remind Natto in time. He lowered his head and looked at Li Chungang quietly from the corner of his eyes. He was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual.
“Mr. Chungang, I see that you are tired today. Go back to the hotel and rest early. I will pick you up tomorrow morning.”
“Actually, I can take a taxi by myself tomorrow. You don’t need to bother Natto to make such a trip. You should know that my surname is Li, so just call me by my name or Chungang. Before and after the boss, I’m embarrassed.”
Shouting like this on the Internet is completely different from shouting like that after meeting in reality. Anyway, Li Chungang couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and had a cancer attack.
“This is what you said, so I’ll call you Chungang.”
“Well, that sounds much better.”
“…”
Seeing that Li Chungang entered the hotel, Natto sat in Geng Sijia’s Audi RS7 and left.
Li Chungang, who was alone in the room, took a hot bath in such a luxurious bathroom for the first time, and then lay on the big soft bed that the whole person could sink into.
Sometimes people are like this, because of various factors in reality, they will press their true thoughts and what they really want to get in the depths of their hearts.
Usually he doesn’t show it to the outside world, but once there is an external incentive, it will be out of control. Li Chungang is in this situation now!
In high school, because of family changes, and because of his deep-seated rejection of having more contact with the opposite sex, he never thought about it. After seeing her today, Li Chungang pretended to be light-hearted on the surface, but in his heart he didn’t think so. Not as calm as he appeared.
It’s different now. The emergence of the system has changed Li Chungang, at least let him no longer close his true thoughts!
He is also a normal man, not to mention a slender lady and a gentleman. Even if it is not exaggerated to fall in love at first sight, at least a girl who has a good impression at first sight will of course have this kind of idea, but it is hard not to know. how to express.
His subconscious was telling himself that this kind of relationship that hasn’t stood the test of time is unreliable. It’s just that Li Chungang felt a sense of late meeting when he recalled the pleasant conversation he had with the other party during the banquet today.
“It would be great if someone could give me some advice at this moment!”
Li Chungang stared at the ceiling and thought to himself, then suddenly turned over and sat up from the bed to quickly unlock the phone, and opened the WeChat address book to find a friend named “Kaizi”. The voice call bounced.
The opposite is almost a second call. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
“Li Chungang, you haven’t contacted me for a long time. I thought you didn’t want to know a little guy like me now that you are the champion of liberal arts.”
As soon as the call was connected, there was a bit of sarcastic sarcasm on the other end of the phone, but Li Chungang was not only not angry at all, but more deeply ashamed.
Speaking of Kaizi, Sun Shikai’s life is supposed to be the brother Li Chungang has known since he was wearing open-crotch pants. He stole sweet potatoes and was beaten together. exist.
Kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, the two are almost inseparable.
Unfortunately, when they were in high school, the two still parted ways. Li Chungang was admitted to the High School Affiliated to Hiraoka and continued to study high school, while Sun Shikai, who had mediocre grades, chose to go to a technical secondary school to learn car repair, at least he had a skill!
For Kaizi’s memory, Li Chungang still stayed in the other party’s secondary school. Later, in his second year of high school, needless to say, he became unwilling to communicate with anyone, and was autistic in his own inner world, let alone contact Sun Shikai. This old friend has lost contact for three years.
“Sorry!”
A full stomach of shame and apology was put into the mouth, and only these three words were left. I don’t know why Li Chungang’s throat was a little choked up.
“Yo! The national champion of liberal arts, Wenquxing went down to the world to say sorry to me, but unfortunately I forgot to record it, otherwise it could be played by others for years.”
Although the content of what he said was still as sharp and harsh as before, one could hear the unconcealed happiness in the other party’s tone.
That’s how real brothers are. Even if they haven’t been in contact for a long time, as long as they have a phone call and a few words, it seems that everything is no longer so important, and everyone is still each other’s good brothers!
