Chapter 64: Invitation
Hearing the shout, Xu Ergou and Xia Youhan froze at the same time. Xu Ergou looked for prestige, and in the crowd, a woman in her thirties walked straight towards him.
Xu Ergou still wondered, he didn't seem to know this woman.
"You're Xu Ergou, aren't you?" the woman approached and asked again, not angry at Xu Ergou for not answering her words.
"I am, may I ask who you are?" Xu Ergou looked at the woman and asked.
"My pen name is Gu Vine, I don't know if you've heard of it. Gu Vine said slowly.
"Ancient vines?" Xu Ergou felt as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"She is the tenth ancient vine on the list of writers of Xingchen Literature Network, you forgot, what Boss Qianfeng said last time. Xia Youhan whispered in Xu Ergou's ear.
"Oh, I remember, I've heard the name of Miss Gu before, but I have never seen it, and I have admired it for a long time. Xu Ergou suddenly realized and said slightly apologetically to Gu Manvine.
"Poof, who told you that my surname is Gu, my pen name is Gu Manteng does not mean that my surname is Gu. Gu Manvine was amused by Xu Ergou and teased.
"Alas. Xia Youhan held his forehead on the side, thinking about whether to stay away from Xu Ergou, otherwise his IQ would be contagious.
"Uh... Then please ask my sister's name. Xu Ergou was stunned and said faintly.
"Haha, you're so funny, you can call me Sister Xiaoyan. Gu Manvine was really amused by Xu Ergou and spoke.
"Okay, Sister Xiaoyan. Xu Ergou nodded and said innocently.
"Well, that's what it sounds like. Gu Manvine said appreciatively.
"By the way, is this your girlfriend?" Gu Manvine said when he saw Xia Youhan on the side.
"Yes, I'm Ergou's girlfriend, my name is Xia Youhan, hello, Sister Xiaoyan. Xu Ergou didn't know how to answer, after all, the relationship with Xia Youhan was a bit complicated, and he couldn't say it clearly, but he didn't expect Xia Youhan to take the initiative to step forward and say, and stretched out his right hand and gently shook the hand of the ancient vine.
"It's so good, Sister Youhan is so good-looking, Ergou can have such a beautiful girlfriend, it's really a blessing. Gu Manvine praised.
"What is Sister Xiao Yan responsible for teaching newcomer authors at the University of Online Literature?" Xu Ergou didn't want to take on this topic, so he transferred to.
"I write girls' essays, and I don't have anything to teach, just to tell them how to open holes in girls' essays and so on. Gu Manteng said.
"Awesome. If only our family Youhan could have this opportunity to teach people to write. Xu Ergou said, holding Xia Youhan's hand tightly, and said with a yearning look in his eyes.
"What's so rare about this, the girl's essay is much better than your boy's essay, as long as the girl Youhan works hard, she will definitely be able to surpass me in the future, maybe, it is also possible to become the new goddess of the stars." Gu Manteng said.
"Xiao Yan, what are you doing here?" As soon as Gu Manteng's voice fell, an inquiring voice sounded, and the voice was very good, making Xu Ergou feel almost crispy to the bones.
"Look where you're going, hee-hee. As the words fell, a woman about the same age as Gu Manvine hugged Gu Manvine from behind Gu Manvine and said.
"No, let me introduce you to the people of our Xingchen Literature Network. Gu Manteng turned his head and said, his gaze falling on Xu Ergou's body.
"Are you talking about the rookie author who bet with Wang Yan?" said Yu Ge Ha Wan.
"That's right, it's him, he's the rookie author Xu Ergou. Gu Manteng said.
"Is it really you?" Yuge hated to look at Xu Ergou and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know who you are talking about, but if it is the person who bets with Wang Yan to win the championship of this online literature league, then it should be me. Xu Ergou said.
"Is it really you?" Yuge hated to hear Xu Ergou admit it, and his eyes widened at the boss, not daring to confirm it.
"yes. Xu Ergou himself was not sure about the reply.
"Tut-tut, the young man can, you dare to fight with Wang Yan's old witch, you are also powerful enough, admire. Yuge said with admiration.
"No, I just can't get used to her bullying us editors, and I want to frustrate her spirit. Xu Ergou pouted and said.
"Don't say it, just by virtue of you, it means that you are righteous enough, don't say it, what is the name of your new book, I will go back and help you push it." Yuge hated the night and waved his hand and said.
"Huh?" This time it was Xu Ergou's turn to be surprised, it seemed that Gu Manteng and the unknown sister beside him didn't like Wang Yan either, and actually took the initiative to help him push the book.
"Haha, don't you thank us Sister Yuge. I knew that Sister Yuge's online article was not easy to help others push books. Gu Vine said from the side.
"Are you the third-ranked author of Xingchen Literary Writers - Do you hate to be late with Yuge?" Xia Youhan asked on the side.
"What's the third, that's just the reader's own doing, really, we don't have the saying of the number of the first. Yuge said lately.
Rumble!
Xu Ergou himself didn't expect that he would be late with Gu Manteng, who was tenth on the list of Xingchen literary writers, and Yuge, who was third on the list of Xingchen literary writers, as soon as he started school.
These people are the biggest obstacle for him to rush into the online league, and he doesn't know what to say.
"Then I'll thank Sister Yuge first. Xu Ergou said with his fists clenched.
"Hehe, it's really interesting, you think this is in ancient times, and you still hold your fists, wait, I'll learn it too." Yuge said that he hated the night, and he began to compare.
"Okay, you're still learning from others. Gu Manvine looked at the serious study of Yu Ge and said.
"By the way, Xu Ergou, are you sure that you will participate in this league? I have read your book, the plot is not bad, but the writing is a little worse. Gu Manvine thought for a moment and said.
"To be honest, I wasn't very sure that I would make it to the finals, so I came to the University of Online Literature to sign up for a try, hoping to improve my writing. Xu Ergou said with a wry smile.
"Then you have to come on, although we don't participate in this league, you still have a lot of competitors, and if you don't pay attention, you will miss out on the championship. Yuge said lately.
"I know, but... Huh, you're not going to participate in this league?" Xu Ergou was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"That's right, the championship is only a few dollars, and we are too lazy to participate, so we have to give you new authors more opportunities. Yuge hated the night and said arrogantly.
"The championship bonus is 800,000 yuan, plus the champion reward of Xingchen Literature Network's own website, the two champions took it together, and it adds up to more than 1 million, in your eyes, it is only a few dollars?" Xu Ergou kept vomiting blood in his heart, sure enough, the life of a rich person is not something that ordinary people can imagine.
"Then Sister Yan, do you know which authors on the list do not participate in this league?" asked Xu Ergou.
That's what he's most concerned about, and the fewer authors he has on the charts, the better his chances of winning the championship.
"I don't know, but I've heard that the second-ranked god finger wants to compete, but I've only heard about it, and it depends on when he opens a new book. Gu Manvine thought for a moment and said.
"Well, that's fine, at least I still have hope. Xu Ergou's expression was stunned for a moment, and he said with expectation in the next second.
"Okay, you are worthy of being the one who dares to fight with Wang Yan, my sister is optimistic about you, how about it, Yuge, I'll just say, he won't be cowardly, you see how much fighting spirit he has, you lost." Hahaha. Gu Manvine first looked at Xu Ergou in admiration and said, then turned his head and said to Yuge.
"I didn't say how he was, I just said that he probably had to be cowardly, and his motivation might be a little worse. Yuge pouted and said.
"Young man, come on, we are optimistic about you, although the man is open-eyed, but the person is still good, maybe when the time comes, he can surprise you or something." Gu Manvine cheered Xu Ergou up.
"I hope so. As soon as Xu Ergou heard the divine finger, his heart was a little drumming.
"By the way, I almost forgot about business. I'm going to have an offline reader interaction next month, and you'll be there too. Gu Manvine knocked on his head, remembered something, and changed the topic. said to Xu Ergou.
"Offline reader interaction? Okay, I'll go. Xu Ergou looked puzzled at first, then understood, and nodded in agreement.
The so-called offline reader interaction means that when the author's income reaches a certain percentage, the author specially finds an occasion to interact with the reader in order to thank the reader for their long-term support.
Of course, only big names like Gu Vine, who have reached the level of great gods, have a certain economic foundation, and have many loyal fans, have the ability to hold an offline reader interaction.
Moreover, for this kind of interaction, all the expenses of holding it are generally borne by the author, and some authors will even contract the round-trip expenses of all the fans who come to participate in the offline reader interaction.
Generally, authors who are only slightly popular would rather send red envelopes in the official account than hold offline reader interaction activities.
It is because the cost of holding an event is likely to exceed the author's income for a year, so there are only a handful of authors who can hold an offline reader interaction event.
"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you next month. Gu Manteng said.
"Hmm. I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. Xu Ergou grinned.
"Don't be so polite, before I became famous, the editor in charge of me was also a dry wind, counting, I should be your senior sister, and I should take care of you.
What's more, Wang Yan is really annoying, and I can't get used to her, I am naturally happy that you stand up and provoke her. Gu Manteng said indignantly.
"Okay, don't grind, we still have something to do, let's go first, and we'll see you when the time comes. Yuge hated the night and pulled the ancient vine and said to Xu Ergou.
"Okay, you can bring your girlfriend with you then, let's go first, bye-bye. Gu Manteng glanced at Xia Youhan on the side, and after saying to Xu Ergou, he was dragged away by Yu Ge and Hate.
"Good. Xu Ergou waved his hand and should arrive.
