Chapter 8: Strange Tastes
"Dingding......
Li Zi'an, who had slept very sweetly, was woken up from his sleep by the continuous ringtones of his mobile phone.
"Who......!"
Li Zi'an rubbed his hair like a hornet's nest, his face was full of irritability, and he reached out and took the phone next to the bed.
The phone is coming from an unknown number.
"Hey, who's that?"
Li Zi'an's tone was slightly unpleasant, which was obviously mixed with a little wake-up gas.
"Hello, I am the person in charge of Huaxing Publishing House's essay collection activity on the theme of boycotting school violence, my name is Zhou Ru, are you Mr. An Zimu?" a female voice came from the other side of the phone.
Huaxing Press?
What is the person in charge of the essay contest?
Hearing these two words, Li Zi'an instantly lost his sleepiness.
"I am, I'm An Zimu!" Li Zi'an's attitude turned 180 degrees, and he hurriedly replied.
"Mr. An Zimu, I am honored to inform you that after the joint review of our Huaxing Publishing House review team, it was finally decided that "Sadness Flows into a River" is the first name of this essay contest, and now I want to check with Mr. An Zimu, is the copyright of this book in your hands?"
"Yes, all the copyrights are in my hands!"
"Okay, then where does Mr. An live now, and when will it be convenient to officially sign a contract with our publishing house?"
"I've been in Kyoto lately!"
"That's great, I wonder if Mr. An will have time tomorrow?"
......
Li Zi'an and Zhou Ru asked and answered, and the two quickly set a time for signing the contract, and tomorrow someone from Huaxing Publishing House will come to discuss the signing.
Seeing that Zhou Ru had asked almost everything, but never mentioned the bonus, Li Zi'an couldn't help it in the end, and couldn't help asking: "Ms. Zhou, may I ask about the bonus for the essay contest, I don't know when it will be issued?"
"Bonus?" Zhou Ru suddenly said with a smile: "If everything goes well with Mr. An tomorrow, the prize money for the essay contest will be sent to Mr. An immediately!"
Hearing Zhou Ru's words, Li Zi'an suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"
Li Zi'an and Zhou Ru finally exchanged two words of greeting, and then hung up the phone.
Sitting on the bed, Li Zi'an was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly jumped up from the bed, dancing on the bed, and the whole person looked extremely excited.
As long as the prize of 200,000 yuan arrives tomorrow, it means that he will be safe for the next 20 days. With this 20-day respite, he is confident that he can create greater wealth.
After a brief period of excitement, a huge hunger pang enveloped Li Zi'an.
picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was close to eight o'clock in the evening, and he had slept for nearly 12 hours.
"Starved ......"
The huge hunger made Li Zi'an a little unbearable, he entered the bathroom and washed up briefly, then put on his clothes, hurriedly walked out of the room, and walked towards the hotel's cafeteria.
At eight o'clock in the evening, dinner time has long passed, and the hotel cafeteria is empty, and there are almost no people in sight.
Li Zi'an picked up a plate casually, although there were few dishes left on the buffet table, but for him who was extremely hungry, as long as he could solve his stomach problem, it was enough.
He picked and picked along the buffet table, and soon the plate in his hand was full, and just when he thought it was almost enough to eat, he suddenly noticed a figure appear in front of him at some point.
Li Zi'an looked up, but in the next second, he immediately lowered his head, turned around and wanted to go back.
Li ...... Child...... Ann!"
"Stop!"
Hearing the sound of gnashing his teeth behind him, Li Zi'an knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to turn around with a smile on his face.
"Ha, I didn't expect the girl to be there, what a coincidence, what a coincidence......"
The figure that just appeared in front of Li Zi'an was the girl he bumped into in the CCTV building yesterday.
Yesterday he realized what he had done in the elevator, and when he saw it again today, he was naturally empty-hearted, otherwise he wouldn't have turned around and wanted to slip away.
And Li Zimu, who was standing opposite Li Zi'an, looked at Li Zi'an not far in front of him, and his heart was angry, and at the same time, he felt a little faint pain in his chest again.
"What are you running to when you see me?"
"I didn't run ......"
"You're a thief, that's why you'll run!"
"I have a clear conscience......"
"Oh, rascal!"
Li Zi'an faced the girl's cold eyes, he knew the truth of 'confessing leniently, sitting in prison, resisting strictly, and going home for the New Year', so he planned to resolutely deny what happened yesterday.
"You ......"
However, just when the girl wanted to say something more, Li Zi'an saw that the girl's expression suddenly changed, she first put the dinner plate in her hand aside, and then hurriedly put the hat of her hooded sweatshirt on her head, and finally hurriedly ran to Li Zi'an's body, so that Li Zi'an's body completely covered her.
"Don't move, don't move!"
"What's wrong? Who do you owe money?"
Li Zi'an said, a little curious to look behind.
"Don't look back, it's my agent, if you let her know that I secretly come out to eat at night, I'll die!" The girl tugged at the corner of Li Zi'an's clothes, looked at Li Zi'an pitifully with those charming peach blossom eyes, and whispered.
According to Li Zi'an's visual measurement, the girl's height must be at least 170, that is, Li Zi'an's height of 186 can barely block her, and it will be really difficult for the rest of the people to do it.
Hearing the girl's words, Li Zi'an raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes turned, and he suddenly smiled: "It's okay if you don't let me move, then you tell me first, what is your name?"
"Li Zimu, Zi is Mu Xin, Mu is Shui Mu!"
"Then I helped you, can our matter be written off?"
When Li Zimu heard Li Zi'an's words, he immediately raised his head, his eyebrows were slightly lame, his big eyes were round, his small face was slightly bulging, and he was a little angry: "You are taking advantage of the fire to rob!"
"I don't care, you just say yes or no, if you agree, yesterday's incident will be written off, you are not allowed to say that I am a hooligan, if you don't agree, then I will turn around and leave now!" Li Zi'an raised the corners of his lips slightly, lowered his head and whispered.
"You ......"
"Scoundrel!"
When Li Zi'an heard this, he immediately turned around to leave.
"Okay, good, I promise you!"
After Li Zimu finished speaking, the beautiful face showed a slightly depressed expression, and she was obviously very unhappy about being coerced by Li Zi'an.
Seeing Li Zimu let go, Li Zi'an smiled, didn't say anything more, stood quietly in front of Li Zimu, and used her body to help her cover.
After a long time, Li Zimu turned her head slightly sideways and looked outside, and when she saw that she was no longer in sight of her agent, she completely relaxed and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Li Zimu raised her head and wanted to say to Li Zi'an that it was okay, but it happened that Li Zi'an also lowered her head and wanted to ask Li Zimu if her agent was gone.
Both looked up and bowed at the same time.
Suddenly, the four eyes met.
It was only then that the two realized how close they were standing.
"Her eyes are so beautiful......"
"His eyes are pretty good......"
The two of them subconsciously thought so in their hearts at the same time.
After staring at each other for about five seconds, a slight sound came from nowhere, causing the two of them to break free from the inexplicable atmosphere at the same time.
Both sides took a step back, slightly embarrassed by each other.
"Ahem...... Li Zi'an felt that his heartbeat was a little fast, his eyes wandered left and right, and in order to relieve the embarrassment, he said casually: "Have you smelled any strange smell, why is there a smell of Cangshan Baiyao in the restaurant?"
"The smell of Cangshan white medicine?"
Li Zimu was stunned for a moment, and then in the next second, her face turned red, and she shaved Li Zi'an fiercely with those beautiful eyes.
"Hooligans!"
Li Zi'an's face was full of confusion.
Why am I a hooligan again?!
Didn't you just say that it was a good write-off?!
Woman, what about your integrity?!
