For delicacies, the best way is to record them and then eat them.

After taking a table of dishes, Gu Xiaoni sat down and sent the picture to Lao Ying.

Lao Ying was writing when he heard the sound of his mobile phone.

When you open it, it's full of food.

"Master, I'm eating out, haha, I'm hungry for you. ”

Enlarge the picture, the plate of the food reads: Tom's Steak Cafeteria.

This little girl eats a buffet in the city center, isn't it so chic? It seems that the holiday is very pleasant.

"I'm working. You eat first. ”

Still a cold reply.

"Okay, Master, have a good rest. It's also a day full of energy!"

Facing the table full of dishes, Master's cold tone did not make her feel lost, but she was used to the attitude of always talking like this. If he becomes more enthusiastic, she will not be able to stand it.

Tao Hui and her ordered a fish steak and a steak, and after the sacred ceremony of sending it to the circle of friends, they started eating.

Tao Hui is her colleague and a veteran employee of the company, and she is responsible for managing the goods.

"Nini, you don't seem to be in a very good state of mind lately, and you always yawn at work. ”

"Hmm...... I've been having a bit of insomnia lately. ”

Lao Ying's requirements are too high, writing 10,000 words a day is too tiring, although it only takes her three hours to write 10,000, but it takes one to two hours to conceive and revise, and even longer if she writes.

Thinking and writing requires energy, whereas human energy is limited.

When she focuses on writing a book, she can't put 100% of her mind into her work, and the same goes for her physical strength.

Recently, Gu Xiaoni is very tired, with dark circles under her eyes every day, and she is always in a sluggish mood at work, forgetting everything and forgetting what she is doing.

But she didn't want to tell Tao Hui the truth, because the boss didn't want employees to have a side hustle to distract them. So this matter can only be hidden from colleagues.

"You have a good rest. At a young age, don't wear yourself out. ”

Tao Hui kindly reminded that Gu Xiaoni's skin used to be very watery, but recently it has become dull yellow and rough, and she has several acne on her forehead. At first glance, I didn't have a good rest. My hair hasn't been washed for a few days, and it's very greasy.

"Uh-huh. ”

Gu Xiaoni really can't say it, if only Lao Ying could lower the task a little, she doesn't want to burst her liver every day.

"I advise you to have a good rest, your recent work status, the boss is not very satisfied. ”

"Oh......"

The food in her mouth suddenly lost its taste, and Gu Xiaoni knew what Tao Hui's words meant.

The boss of their company is a small boss, a nice person, but also shrewd. Otherwise, it is impossible to mix well in e-commerce.

Gu Xiaoni has indeed had a lot of problems in her recent work, sometimes she forgets to urge the courier, sometimes there are typos in chatting with customers, and most importantly, her work efficiency has dropped rapidly.

Failure to respond to customer questions in a timely manner led to more complaints from the store. This made the owner very unhappy.

Gu Xiaoni knew her mistakes at work, so she always tried to cheer up and let her reaction and hand speed be as fast as possible.

Kana people are not machines, and there are always times when they make mistakes.

"Hmm...... Keep going, and the boss will give you a long vacation. ”

Tao Hui kindly reminded her, but she stuck a knife in Xiao Ni's heart.

The reality is always helpless, you have no way to bring benefits to the boss, you can only passively choose to eliminate.

The social law of the jungle has not changed since ancient times.

When she got home in the evening, she sent a message to Lao Ying and told her about it.

After Lao Ying saw it, he asked her not to have too much pressure, and he would reduce it to seven thousand words a day for her later.

7,000 words is a full 2,000 words less than 10,000 words.

But what Gu Xiaoni was thinking about was not 7,000 words, nor 2,000 words, but the choice between dreams and future.

She sat on the bed and sent a question to Lao Ying.

"Master, am I really bad? ”

The data of the previous book is not a little better than the first one, but she still can't support herself with the manuscript fee.

There is a satirical picture in the group that has been circulating for a long time.

In the picture, a small man is hiding in a corner with a beggar's bowl, shivering in the cold wind.

There is also such a sentence in the picture: [I'm writing novels, okay, okay, let's get some money]

This picture reflects the helplessness of the majority of authors, 99% of the authors belong to the bottom of the writers' circle, and there are only a few people who can get out of the circle and support themselves by writing books.

As others know, the writers who have become famous only account for a small part of the writers' circle.

Most people, by writing books, have to drink the northwest wind to get by.

Gu Xiaoni was lucky, she was favored by the editor, signed a contract, and still had a few hundred yuan to spend a month.

But in modern society, what can you do with a few hundred dollars a month?

The future is uncertain, the dream is too far away, the reality is approaching, and she has to make a choice.

"If you're really that bad, why should I take you as an apprentice. ”

This is Lao Ying's sincere words, a person writes a book, not to see how talented he is, but to see how seriously he treats this matter.

A gifted sculptor, if he doesn't have a good grasp of the carving knife in his hand, can only waste his talent.

An ordinary person, if he does one thing with his heart every day, every day, will definitely be able to achieve something over the years.

Judging by the text she wrote, as well as the updates, she is not a gifted person, but definitely a hard worker.

Lao Ying's words made her tears fall suddenly, crystal tears wet her long eyelashes, silent tears wet her clothes, and all the pressure was released.

She had seen the splendor of the day, and she had seen the sky in the early morning.

I've heard the sighs of the night, and I've looked directly at the whirlpool of fate.

"Thank you. ”

If it weren't for Lao Ying, she thought, she would have walked on this road in a daze.

Originally, she had already given up her dream, but she just finished writing today's task in a mess and updated it.

Anyway, as long as you don't write about the prohibition, you can write casually, and if you meet the task standards, you can get the money.

It was Lao Ying who brought her back to life.

It was Lao Ying who gave her the courage to move on.

is also Lao Ying, teaching her what she should do and how to write.

Without him, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Now, she has the answer.

But......

"Master, is it true that what you said about reducing the burden is true? Is it really only 7,000 words a day? Master, you can't go back! If you say that it is difficult to chase after you, you are a manly man, and you can't deal with a little woman like me. ”

Wiping her tears, she blushed her nose and swished this sentence over.

Since the master opened her mouth, why did she make herself unhappy, and hurried down the steps. lest the master regret it.

"Hmm. ”

Ay...... Legend has it that only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise, is this true?

Lao Ying couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Lao Ying, are you really unwilling to make that deal?"

The editor-in-chief, Black Tea, sent a message.

Lao Ying saw it and frowned.
