Now that the editor has a shelf schedule, it should not be able to change it. Zhang Zi'an returned to the second floor with mixed feelings, wanting to tell the π the news and make it mentally prepared.

"Squeak!"

π didn't wait for him to speak, but pulled him to show him the computer screen.

"What's wrong, π?"

He bent over and saw that a prompt had just popped up in the author's background - "Hello, I now inform you that your work "Pet King" will be recommended by Sanjiang on the homepage today, and unfinished works must be kept updated. ”

Sanjiang recommendation?

Since π began to write at the starting point, Zhang Zi'an has often mixed in the online discussion area of the Wanghaige Forum, and learned a lot of common sense about the recommended position of the starting point from the chatter of netizens. He knows that Sanjiang recommendation is one of the most important recommendations in the new book period, and if he can achieve a good ranking in Sanjiang recommendation, such as the top five, it often means that he can bag the last and most popular recommendation before it is put on the shelves - "strong recommendation on the homepage".

In addition, Sanjiang recommendation has more layers of significance - those who can be recommended by Sanjiang, in addition to meeting the standards, are often very distinctive in some aspects, and have been recognized by the editorial department of the starting point.

"Congratulations, π!" he sincerely congratulated π.

"Squeak!" π smiled.

Along the way, he has witnessed that π has experienced three rounds of recommendations: urban popular classification recommendation, urban strong recommendation, and homepage six-frequency recommendation, and each recommendation π ranked first, becoming a dazzling molecule, and entering the next round with an indisputable advantage. Sanjiang Recommendation is the fourth round of recommendations that π is about to go through, and if it goes well, π will get a strong recommendation on the homepage of the fifth round at the same time as it is launched.

Most of those who have come this far will be put on the shelves after the strong recommendation ends, and the ones that are put on the shelves at the same time as the strong push are rare. Zhang Zi'an pondered for a while, and it is estimated that the bald little monk is very optimistic about π, and he can compete for the monthly ticket list of new books on the shelves on the Chinese New Year's Eve day.

"By the way, π, to tell you one thing - I just received an editorial notice that yours will be available in Chinese New Year's Eve. He said bluntly.

π's originally happy face suddenly became uneasy.

"Squeak?"

He knows what it's worried about, there are almost 30,000 netizens who have collected it, whether it is the book review area or the book friend group, it is very active, because it is currently free to read, and once it is put on the shelves for a fee, how many people are willing to pay for a new book?

No one knows the answer, only time will tell.

As a website, it is impossible to keep it free, otherwise the website will not make money, and if it can't make money, it can't pay employees, can't maintain the operation of the server, can't go to other places to advertise, and can't let the influence be further expanded, so charging is inevitable, and it is the stage that every success has to go through.

"π, don't worry, the editor is very optimistic about you, and I am also optimistic about you. Your current results have exceeded expectations, so what else can't you let go?" he said earnestly, "In places you can't see, there are still many people silently supporting you, from the editor of the starting point to the single owner of the book list, to the ordinary book friends, everyone is your strength to move forward." ”

He logged on to QQ on the computer, opened the book friend group, and asked π to see the current about 300 book friends in the group, and said: "π, 300 people who have never known each other have gathered in a virtual space because of you, what a great thing!"

π silently stared at the list of group members, the computer screen reflecting a rapidly changing glow on its nose-clipping glasses.

After a long time, it nodded vigorously and typed, "I'll do my best."

"I believe in you. Zhang Zi'an patted it on the shoulder.

He straightened his waist and saw from the window that Wang Qian and Li Kun were each coming back with two large plastic bags, and knowing that they had bought fireworks, he said to π: "I'll go downstairs first, and you write slowly." ”

Back on the first floor, Wang Qian and Li Kun also stepped into the door at the same time, holding a plastic bag and asking, "Master, the fireworks have been bought, where can I put them?"

"Show me, how much did you buy?"

The two large plastic bags were stuffed with fireworks, and there were so many of them that he couldn't name them. Since he didn't say which one to buy, they bought a few of each, including slightly larger jet fireworks, 2,000 earth red firecrackers, and some cold fireworks that were safe to set off.

"Master, where do you want to put it, we will put it for you...... But when are you going to take us with you when you go to set off the flowers and guns?" the two of them wore shy faces.

"I'll just let it go myself, and you guys can clean it up quickly. Zhang Zi'an waved his hand and asked them to go to work.

Lao Cha poked his head out from behind the TV and asked, "Zi'an, Lao Yu seems to smell the smell of sulfur and saltpeter?"

Zhang Zi'an brought the fireworks in front of it and took out a string of red and bright earth red firecrackers to show it, "Old man tea, don't you regret that there is no sound of firecrackers during the New Year? ”

Lao Cha stared at the fireworks in the bag: "Zi'an, Lao Yu just said it casually, why do you need to break the bank?"

"Anyway, if we don't pay for it, don't worry. Zhang Zi'an picked up a plastic bag full of fireworks and entered the storage room on the second floor. From Wang Gan and Li Kun's narratives, he had already guessed that it was Lao Cha who stopped and punished the speeding car and bag grabbing party for them that night, so in order to satisfy Lao Cha's wishes, it was not too much to let them break the fortune, right?

After placing these flammable and explosive materials in the storage room, he received a voice message on his mobile phone, which was sent by Lu Yiyun.

"Mr. Store Manager, Dr. Sun is looking for you downstairs. ”

"I know, I'll go downstairs right away. He replied.

He walked briskly to the first floor, and Sun Xiaomeng stood outside in a down jacket, his eyes resting on the pregnant Abyssinian cats.

"They're about to give birth, aren't they?" she asked when she saw Zhang Zi'an.

"It's probably after the Spring Festival. He replied.

"Give. ”

She tossed a gadget in her hand, and he took it in his hand accurately, it was her car keys.

Because Sun Xiaomeng wanted to go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, he didn't need a car, and Zhang Zian wanted to go to a police dog nursing home, so he borrowed a car from her to save the trouble of finding a taxi.

"Thank you. Zhang Zi'an put the car keys in his pocket.

"There's no need for verbal thanks, who asked you to help me, otherwise I wouldn't have had a place for those cats and dogs. She shook her head slightly, "Also, at least wash the car and fill it up when you're done! ”

Zhang Zi'an was pierced by her words, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, in fact, he was planning to return it directly after using the car.

He was about to declare that he wasn't that kind of person when he saw a police car pull up on the side of the road.
