Huo Chengcai spent more than half a month in the newly opened bookstore at his doorstep, and the decoration was smoothly completed before the start of school, and the two stores were connected to each other, with a total of more than 140 square meters, which can be said to be the largest bookstore in the surrounding streets.

As soon as Huo Yaowen parked the car next to Chengcai's study, he noticed that the younger sister ran over happily.

The younger sister grabbed Huo Yaowen's arm and said in a coquettish tone: "Brother, you haven't been home for a long time!"

"I've been busy lately. ”

Huo Yaowen rubbed his sister's head: "I can't see you every time I go home, and I blame me for not coming home for a long time." ”

After returning from Vienna, he has been busy with publishing houses and writing books, and has spent most of the month in school and company, where he has time to come back, and occasionally comes back to see his grandma and his mother during the day, but at that time, the younger sister is like crazy, and goes to play with Lu Suzhen or other female classmates all day long, and has never met at all.

While walking towards the bookstore, Huo Tingting grinned and said, "Isn't this graduation? I definitely have to have more fun, and Su Zhen's house is half an hour's bus ride from us, so convenient." ”

My mother happened to be tidying up at the door of the study, and when she heard what Huo Tingting said who came over, she frowned and scolded: "I know how to play every day, my academic performance is so poor, I can't even get into college." ”

"Mother, many people can't pass the exam!" Huo Tingting quibbled.

The younger sister had graduated from secondary school two months ago, but her grades were not very good and did not meet the threshold of the two universities in Hong Kong.

Unlike later generations, there are only two formal universities in Hong Kong that can provide tertiary degrees, although there are many colleges and colleges that are similar to the university teaching system, but these cannot issue college diplomas to students.

And the little sister next semester is studying in the Chinese Department of Hong Kong Baptist College, because it is not a regular university, without the support of the Hong Kong British government, the annual tuition fee is very high, and the little sister will cost more than 10,000 yuan a semester, which can be said to spend money to enter the school.

Huo Yaowen came up and comforted a few words: "Okay, Auntie, now there are two universities in Hong Kong, and those who can be admitted must be good at studying, and it is not a matter of one or two days for my sister to study poorly, and you should have expected it if you didn't get in." ”

"Brother~" Huo Tingting stretched her voice unreluctantly.

Mother glared at her: "What's the matter? Don't let your brother say it? If you have half of your brother's grades, you will definitely be able to pass the exam!"

This year, the University of Hong Kong has expanded its enrollment of freshmen, and if the younger sister can take two A's, then the chances of being admitted to the Department of Philosophy of the University of Hong Kong are very high, after all, who made Huo Yaowen a teacher in the Department of Philosophy? Moreover, there are fewer people studying in the Department of Philosophy, and there may be more abroad, but in Hong Kong, it is pitiful.

However, the most fierce competition is still the source of law students, this year the University of Hong Kong opened a law department, and there are countless students who have applied for it, and the profession of lawyers and doctors in Hong Kong is the most popular, especially lawyers, if they are mixed with qualifications, and there are nobles who are promoted, they may be able to become a parliamentarian or something.

Huo Yaowen didn't bother to listen to his mother's reprimand of his younger sister here, so he walked into the bookstore by himself, looking at this new Chengcai bookstore, which is quite large, different from the layout of the bookstore in Kowloon, where all the books are stacked on the shelves, and at a glance, they are clean and neat.

Huo Chengcai was busy putting the books on the shelves, and when he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head and glanced at it, "Yaowen is here." ”

Huo Yaowen asked with a smile: "The layout of this bookstore is very good, did you get it?"

Huo Chengcai shook his head and smiled: "No, it was the opinion of that kid from Ming Zai, he said that other bookstores have this kind of bookshelf, which is convenient and beautiful to place books, so I asked him to make a batch of bookshelves and send them over, don't say it's very good." ”

Huo Yaowen said: "When will it open?"

Huo Chengcai counted his fingers, counted the days and said, "Your aunt said that September 7 is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the opening is auspicious, and I am going to open on that day." ”

"Okay, I'll see if I have time to come over that day, the school has been busy recently, so I won't stay with Lao Dou much. After Huo Yaowen finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

Huo Chengcai said: "Hey, Yaowen, don't be in a hurry to leave, don't you go home for dinner? You haven't been back for a few days." ”

"Recently, the school and the company have been very busy, so I'll come back when I'm free for a while. ”

Huo Yaowen waved his hand, walked to the door of the store, said to his mother and sister who were cleaning up the ground at the door, and then drove to the community, he went to find Zhang Wanjun.

Zhang Wanjun's first book "Autumn Fairy Tale" has already been printed, and it is almost publicized, and Huo Yaowen is busy helping her publicize it at this time.

Originally, according to Huo Yaowen's meaning, he spent money to hire a few well-known writers to advertise in the newspaper, but he later thought that even if he made an advertisement, Zhang Wanjun would not be famous at all, and he could not achieve the kind of thinking that he thought would be an instant hit, so he wrote an outline and handed it to Zhang Wanjun to write.

......

Literary World Newspaper.

Deng McKee personally poured a cup of tea for Huo Yaowen and Zhang Wanjun, and after it was done, he sat down and looked at Huo Yaowen and Zhang Wanjun with a smile: "Huo Sheng, who is this girl?"

"This is my cousin, Zhang Wanjun. ”

Huo Yaowen introduced to Zhang Wanjun: "Wanjun, the editor-in-chief of the literary world, can also be regarded as one of my nobles, if it weren't for the essay competition of editor-in-chief Deng, I am afraid I would not have known that I still have the talent to write romance letters." ”

Zhang Wanjun smiled and shook hands with the other party in a generous manner: "Hello Editor-in-Chief Deng." ”

"Hello Miss Zhang. ”

Editor-in-chief Deng saw that she was generous and graceful, and couldn't help but admire: "Huo Sheng, the ancients often said that dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, I didn't believe it before, but when I saw the two, I couldn't help but believe it, what do I think, you are both such jasper beauties, and the jade tree is in the wind!"

was praised so bluntly by Deng Maiji, although Zhang Wanjun was how to understand etiquette, she was inevitably a little shy at this time, her cheeks were slightly red, and she looked at her cousin at a loss.

"Editor-in-Chief Deng is so well-known, I feel comfortable every time I meet you. Huo Yaowen laughed.

Dunmackey smiled: "It's a fact. ”

The two chatted for a few words,

Huo Yaowen took out a stack of manuscript paper from his briefcase and handed it to the other party, saying, "Editor-in-chief Deng, take a look." ”

Before coming, Huo Yaowen had already called Deng McKee to tell him that his cousin had written a book and wanted to publish it in the literary world, and he took it out directly after reminiscing, without much nonsense.

Deng McKee took the manuscript, looked at the title that wrote "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, glanced at Zhang Wanjun with a dignified face, and then at Huo Yaowen, and asked curiously: "Huo Sheng, this doesn't seem to be a romance?"

Huo Yaowen explained with a smile: "It's an alternative romance, Editor-in-Chief Deng might as well take a look at it." ”

"Good. Dunmackey agreed, and silently began to read the manuscript.

Zhang Wanjun was a little nervous when she saw Deng Maiji reading the book she wrote, this was the first time she had written an article to someone other than Huo Yaowen to read, and she was very worried.

Huo Yaowen on the side saw her anxiety and nervousness, grabbed her hand that had nowhere to put it, smiled at her, and signaled not to worry.

"Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" is the idea of Huo Yaowen borrowing from the book in the island country and the movie "Living Together in Time and Space", which tells the story of two men and women in different time and space, who are connected by a small grocery store.

Because they don't know each other clearly, and they get along with different time and space, in the process of writing letters to each other, there are a lot of jokes, but in this joke, it is full of sweetness and warmth, but because they are in different time and space, the two are fated to be inseparable, and they want to see but can't see each other.

Originally, according to the outline provided to Zhang Wanjun by Huo Yaowen, at the end, the hero and heroine are like two lines that do not cross each other, going hand in hand, but they can never converge.

But Zhang Wanjun felt that this story was a little sad, and revised the ending, at the end, the moment the heroine opened the door, she found a strange young man outside the door, and the man told a secret that only the two of them knew.

The number of words is not very much, only more than 100,000 words, plus the outline provided by Huo Yaowen, Zhang Wanjun only took half a month to write.

Deng McKee read it quickly, and it only took half an hour to read all the manuscripts, and with excitement, he looked at Zhang Wanjun and said, "Miss Zhang, this story is amazing! You must publish it in our literary world, I believe that this story will definitely be liked by many people." ”

Time and space travel, this is not a new word, but at this time it is like a bombshell, bombarding Deng McKee's thoughts, although there is no vigorous love in the text, there is no stalking love triangle, four-cornered love, but the sweetness and the dialogue between two men and women in different time and space, the dialogue between each other, the ridiculous content, made Deng McKee feel a little inexplicably happy.

Zhang Wanjun glanced at Huo Yaowen, not knowing how to answer Deng McKee's question.

Huo Yaowen continued: "Editor-in-chief Deng, I brought my cousin to you just to publish it in the literary world. ”

"That's great!"

Deng McKee said happily: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, I will definitely pay the manuscript fee according to the best standard." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled: "I believe that Editor-in-Chief Deng will give a suitable price for the manuscript fee, but I hope that this book can be published in the literary world as soon as possible." ”

Deng McGee agreed: "Of course, such a novel and good book, I will definitely give priority to publishing it in the newspapers and periodicals." ”

"Then I'm bothering you, Editor-in-Chief Deng. ”

The manuscript fee, according to Zhang Wanjun, a rookie writer, is normally five to ten yuan per thousand words, but because of Huo Yaowen, and Deng McKee really likes this article very much, in the spirit of making friends, he gave a price of thirty thousand words.

Zhang Wanjun is very satisfied with this price, 30 words per 1,000, 100,000 words is 3,000 yuan, which is much higher than the salary outside.
