Chapter 109: Retreat
April 15, noon.
Lin Weidong received a call from William Zhu from Shanghai, asking about the progress of the writing of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant".
Lin Weidong said everything was normal.
After understanding the situation, William Zhu said with a straight face: "Lonely City, when do you expect this book to be finished?"
Lin Weidong thought about it, and with his current code speed, "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" will probably be completed by the end of May.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that he often had trysts with Li Xiaojuan during the day and had to accompany Scarlett at night, Lin Weidong might have been able to finish the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" in mid-May.
However, Lin Weidong did not tell William Zhu the truth, but told him: "Mr. Zhu, didn't you ask me to finish the book within a year?"
"Also, how many words do I write every month, didn't I also sign a contract with you?
William Zhu hurriedly reassured: "Gucheng, don't get excited, I'm not going to terminate the cooperation with you." ”
"I mean, can you finish the book 'Flight Attendant' in early May?"
"Why?" asked Lin Weidong suspiciously.
William Zhu said: "I won't tell you, many publishing houses have recently offered high prices to buy the copyright of your book." ”
Without waiting for Lin Weidong to answer, William Zhu continued: "If you can finish writing your book in early May, I will pay the money, and I will definitely not miss you a point, I know that you have received 3 months' salary now, and I will make up the remaining 9 months' salary to you at one time." ”
Although William Zhu's words sounded tempting, Lin Weidong was not confused by his conditions, because in Lin Weidong's opinion, the remaining 9 months' salary was originally what he deserved.
Thinking of this, Lin Weidong said in embarrassment: "Mr. Zhu, money is the same, but if you do this, I will have to work for ten months in two months, that is too difficult for me, why should I suffer?"
"You should also know that I am still a student and I still have to go to school, so how can I have so much time and energy to write novels. ”
William Zhu also understands Lin Weidong's difficulties, indeed, the money is the same anyway, and there is no need for Lin Weidong to make himself work so hard in two months.
Of course, although William Zhu grew up in ABC abroad, he has also heard that there is an old saying in China, which is called "money can make ghosts grind".
After thinking for a while, William Zhu continued: "Lonely City, otherwise, if you can finish writing the book "Flight Attendant" in early May, I can pay you an extra 30,000 yuan to make up 270,000 yuan, what do you think?"
Regarding William Zhu's proposal, Lin Weidong was actually very moved, but he currently has no way to guarantee William Zhu that the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" can be completed in early May.
William Zhu on the other end of the phone waited for a while, didn't hear Lin Weidong's answer, and then said: "Lonely City, can 270,000 yuan be sold? This is already the highest price I can offer." ”
In fact, what Lin Weidong didn't know was that the copyright of the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" had been hyped to 420,000, and many publishers wanted to buy the copyright of the book.
As long as Lin Weidong can finish writing the book "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", William Zhu can earn 150,000 yuan even if he doesn't do anything now.
After some careful consideration, Lin Weidong said: "Mr. Zhu, can you push the date to mid-May? If you can agree, I am willing to fight." ”
William Zhu pondered for a while and felt that it was feasible, so he said to him: "Okay, it's decided." ”
After hanging up William Zhu's phone, Lin Weidong felt that he was full of energy.
Lin Weidong also had to sigh in his heart, the power of money is really infinite.
In the next few days, Lin Weidong began to retreat in the dormitory, devoting himself to the creation of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", not even going to the classroom, and letting Wang Taoxin pack back from the canteen for dinner.
However, in the evening, Lin Weidong will also come out with Scarlett and take a walk in the playground or something, after all, it is his girlfriend, and he must be accompanied.
As for Li Xiaojuan, Lin Weidong also said hello to her in advance, because she had to rush the manuscript, she couldn't make up for her daughter for the time being.
Regarding Lin Weidong's decision, Li Xiaojuan also expressed her understanding and support, but just told him not to be tired, his body and bones are important.
Lin Weidong also lived up to Li Xiaojuan's expectations, in these days of dormitory retreat, three or four watches a day is already commonplace, and if he is in a good state, five watches a day is not a problem.
People are like this sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you really don't know your limits, how far you can go.
However, Lin Weidong is a person after all, not the code machine, there will always be a tired day.
April 25th.
After ten days of continuous high-intensity writing, Lin Weidong was really a little unbearable, both physically and mentally, he was close to overdraft.
However, sleeping at night, lying on the bed in the dormitory, Lin Weidong closed his eyes, and all that came to mind was Li Xiaojuan's figure.
The next day, Lin Weidong secretly made an appointment with Li Xiaojuan on the phone to meet in the suite tomorrow morning.
Thinking that she would be able to see Lin Weidong tomorrow, Li Xiaojuan was also very happy in her heart, and even when she was mopping the floor and drying clothes, the corners of her mouth were smiling.
In fact, Li Xiaojuan had wanted to find Lin Dong for a long time, but she was afraid of disturbing her, so she didn't call his mobile phone all the time.
April 27, 7:03 a.m.
Lin Weidong ate a soy milk fritters in the canteen, and set off from the school gate and headed for the suite community at full speed.
Along the way, Lin Weidong only felt that the sun was shining, the air was fresh, and the chickens were hard.
When Lin Weidong walked downstairs in the community, he recognized the graceful Li Xiaojuan at a glance.
Li Xiaojuan looked at Lin Weidong, who had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were a little moist, and she held hands with Lin Weidong and walked up the stairs.
"Why did you lose so much weight?"
"Why are you so early?"
The two of them basically spoke in unison, and after asking, they laughed at the same time.
Li Xiaojuan grabbed Lin Weidong Weidong's arm, lowered her head, and said shyly: "I want to see the stinky boy sooner......
Hearing Li Xiaojuan's words, Lin Weidong was very moved, because Li Xiaojuan rarely took the initiative to say these meaty words, and said with a smile: "I also want to see you, every day." ”
Of course, moving is moving, when he got to the room, Lin Weidong was not so gentle, and he no longer cherished the jade as usual.
After so many days of retreat, Lin Weidong was like a beast trapped in a cage, and he was simply inhumane.
The door of the room was closed for a while, and before they had time to warm each other, Lin Weidong let Li Xiaojuan prop up her hands on the bed, her upper body lying on her stomach like a seal, and pouted her fat big buttocks......
(Extra)
At 9 o'clock, Li Xiaojuan reluctantly left the suite.
