In the afternoon, Wu Xiaotian took Beibei, wearing a formal dress that was selected by Chen Shihan yesterday, and Hu Yidao was sitting in a café drinking coffee.
Hu Yidao also came to Beijing by plane this morning, and he came to the award ceremony as a representative of the trendy magazine, after all, this time, two of the novels serialized in their magazines are very promising to win awards.
These two novels, one is Wu Xiaotian's "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is now the first in the online voting list, proud of the crowd, and the most promising popular work to win the first place in the best work.
The other is "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" written by the mysterious Jin Gu author, who is now ranked fourth in the online voting rankings, which is also a very high ranking.
Speaking of this Jin Gu, Hu Yidao is a stomach of bitter water.
Since his magazine serialized this novel, although it has received good reviews, it has been in turmoil, and the main reason is the question of who Jin Gu is.
Since this Jin Gu went to press, he has never answered the phone or shown up, so Hu Yidao and his contact are basically through mobile phone text messages and emails.
With such a means of contact, this Jin Gu is easy, but it is a bitter knife.
Since the popularity of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", readers have constantly called or come to Xinchao Publishing House to inquire, and they have asked Xinchao Magazine to announce Jin Gu's true identity.
Hu Yidao thought about it, but he didn't know it, if he knew who this Jin Gu was, he would have announced it a long time ago and hyped it up.
For this matter, he was not less blamed by the senior management of the Xinchao Publishing House, and even at the end of last month, it was revealed on the Internet that this Jin Gu was a foreigner, which made him break out in a cold sweat, not only the pressure of news and public opinion was huge, but even the organizing committee of the Chinese Literature Grand Prix personally called to ask for Jin Gu's contact information, saying that they wanted to contact him.
When he thought that this Jin Gu and his novel were about to be kicked out of the game, this Jin Gu suddenly appeared on Weibo again, and resolved the storm with a poem in time, and made his novel even more popular.
"Brother Hu, what are you thinking?" Wu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Hu Yidao's eyes, and asked suspiciously.
This Brother Hu has been absent-minded since he sat down, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
"Ahh
Wu Xiaotian fainted, so he had to continue to ask: "I mean Brother Hu, what are you thinking? ”
"Haha, you ask this!" Hu Yidao picked up the coffee and drank it all in one gulp before saying, "I'm thinking, who will win the award at today's award ceremony?"
"Anyone is possible, and this entry is okay!" Wu Xiaotian nodded and said.
"It's certainly okay for you to win, it's just a matter of which award. Hu Yidao smiled and said slowly: "I'm mainly worried about another novel now. ”
"What novel?" Wu Xiaotian asked.
"It's that Jin Gu, and he wrote "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", his novel is indeed okay, but it can't be separated from other novels, and it is possible to win or not. Hu Yidao said with a frown.
"Ah!" Wu Xiaotian was stunned, originally thinking about this question.
"Well, in fact, speaking of this Jin Gu, this person is wonderful, why is he reluctant to come out? You say that this novel is also well written, but it is still so secretive, so I usually don't talk about it, even this time to participate in the award ceremony, I wanted to take this opportunity to call him, but he hung up at the time, saying that it was inconvenient to answer the phone. It's inconvenient? Why is it inconvenient? I made more than a dozen phone calls to this Jin Gu, all of them saying that it was inconvenient, how could there be such a coincidental thing, don't you say this person is wonderful?"
As soon as Hu Yidao talked about Jin Gu, he was full of grievances and began to vomit bitterness on Wu Xiaotian.
"Hehe......"
Wu Xiaotian smiled awkwardly, he was speechless in the face of Hu Yidao's complaints. Because the strange Jin Gu that Hu Yidao said is not Wu Xiaotian himself!
Hu Yidao told the truth, he made a lot of calls, Wu Xiaotian said that it was inconvenient to answer the phone in order to avoid being heard, and then contacted each other by text message, this time when he came to the capital, Hu Yidao also contacted him, saying that he wanted to meet him in the capital, and in the end he was rejected by Wu Xiaotian.
"You say, if only he had half the boldness of your little brother Bei. Hu Yidao said.
Wu Xiaotian: "......"
Some continued: "I don't know if he has come to the capital, tonight is the award ceremony, in case he really wins the award, and no one comes to the stage to accept the award, it will be embarrassing!"
Wu Xiaotian wiped his sweat and said, "It shouldn't be, such an important thing." ”
"Well, I think so. Hu Yidao heard Wu Xiaotian's words, nodded, and then he said uneasily: "No, I'll send him a text message and ask him if he has arrived?"
"Ah, there's no need!" Wu Xiaotian hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, I think he must have arrived in the capital." ”
"Hey, Brother Xiaobei, you don't know about this wonder, I'm a little worried, so I'd better ask. Hu Yidao took out his mobile phone and was about to open it, he looked up at Wu Xiaotian and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiaobei, it'll be fine in a while." ”
"Hmm!" Wu Xiaotian nodded silently.
At this time, Hu Yidao had already turned on his mobile phone and started texting.
Wu Xiaotian's heart suddenly became anxious, he knew his own affairs, Hu Yidao would send a message later, if he didn't reply in time, it was estimated that Hu Yidao thought that Jin Gu had not come to the capital yet, and he would call in a hurry.
He hesitated, looked up and saw that Hu Yidao was concentrating on texting, he quietly took out another mobile phone, put it under the table, and adjusted the mobile phone to mute and non-vibration mode.
As soon as all this was done, a text message was sent, and it was sent by Hu Yidao: "Hello, Mr. Jin Gu, I am Hu Yidao from "New Trend Magazine", may I ask you that you have come to the capital now?"
Wu Xiaotian did not reply immediately. He glanced up at Hu Yidao again, and saw that he was looking at his phone with an anxious face, obviously waiting for Jin Gu's reply.
Wu Xiaotian put his mind at ease, lowered his text message over and over again, and observed Hu Yidao with his residual vision, and his text message replied: "Well, it's already here!"
Hu Yidao, who was on the other side of the position, was shocked, and he immediately wrote it on his mobile phone again, and Wu Xiaotian soon received a text message again: "Do you need me to pick you up? Let's go to the award ceremony together in the evening?"
Wu Xiaotian replied: "No need, thank you, I'll go over alone!"
Hu Yidao said again: "Is this convenient? I have a car here to pick you up." ”
Wu Xiaotian replied: "It's okay, it's okay!"
……
In this way, Wu Xiaotian and Hu Yidao, the two of them sat facing each other and launched a text message. (To be continued.) )
