Chapters 23 and 24 of the novel, Thunder Killed Me
(Since chapter 24 was blocked, I didn't release it anymore, so I added chapter 24 to chapter 23.) Don't get confused when you watch it)
"Ahem!" Jiang Xi sighed deeply, "I have been a director in a TV station for a year, and I really gritted my teeth and insisted, I really deeply understand what it means to use women as men and men as animals." β
I laughed, "We haven't said in the IT industry that we use men as animals, but you said it first." β
Jiang Xi pouted and said, "Don't believe it! At that time, we were a weekly program, and three or four directors had to do four interview programs every month, and every day we needed to go to various magazines and newspapers to find those who could be interviewed. β
"I found the interview subject, I want to arrange for the subject to come to Beijing, and then go to the TV station studio to record the program, these are okay, the hardest thing is the post-editing, I have to catch up with the program every month, almost nine times out of ten are to stay up all night, those little brothers and sisters who do post-editing, almost none of them escaped the fate of hemorrhoids, I stayed up for a year, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, I was thinking, I can't exhaust myself to death, if I am tired to death, my mother will have no one to raise it!"
"So you're quitting?"
"That's right! I don't want to work in a TV station again, probably because I'm not strong enough, and I don't have any nostalgia for TV stations anyway. β
"Before I officially resigned from the TV station, I submitted the resume of an editor to a magazine called "Parents", I thought that it must be very comfortable to be an editor in the magazine, and I would not need to stay up all night, and because of the articles I published in the magazine, including the more than a dozen articles I published in "Parents", so the editor-in-chief of the magazine also met with me and asked me to go to work the next day, he was short of people. β
"Although I have not been an editor before, but I have written a lot of articles, I get started very quickly, without any training, I am directly competent, and the manuscript rate of each issue I edit is very high, in addition to the guaranteed salary every month, plus the commission of the manuscript, plus I will secretly write for some magazines, and sometimes I also use someone else's address and vest in my own magazine to contribute to the column I am responsible for, anyway, the editor-in-chief no matter who writes the manuscript, as long as the manuscript is good, it can be on, so that I can get about 4,000 yuan a month, which is about the same as the TV stationγ β
As soon as I heard it, about 4,000 yuan, which is about the same as what I earned, sure enough, she didn't lie before, she really wanted to make money, and she really didn't earn less than me.
I love listening to these words so much, they definitely boost my confidence in our future life, it turns out that she really is not a girl without skills.
But......
"Then why did you resign from the magazine again?"
Isn't it good that a graduate of an adult education college can earn 4,000 yuan a month? At that time, the average salary in Beijing was only 2,000 yuan, and she was already ahead of many people, and she didn't cherish her work so much.
"I have been working in the magazine for a year, but I am really relaxed and not tired, every morning from nine to five, reading articles and seeing vomiting, facing the seven or eight people in the magazine, and then a year down, I have gained ten pounds, young and small belly have come out, I feel like I have become a fish in a pool of stagnant water, every day is a day of eating and waiting for death, no passion, no life, so ......."
"So you quit your job and wrote your own novel......?" Cough!
She was also straightforward, not regretful at all, "Yes, I think I'm still very young, I can't just be a salted fish like that, right, after I resigned, I wrote at home, and I will take on some messy writing work, at the beginning, it was mainly to make money, and as soon as the living expenses were enough, I would make money as a supplement, and write novels, but unfortunately, cough! My novels have not become popular, but I am confident that they will become popular soon." β
Looking at her little face full of confidence, how could I bear to hit her, so I said, "I also believe that you will become popular soon." β
In fact, I thought in my heart that it would be good to be popular within five years, but I didn't expect it to be ...... ten years later. Forget it, it's a handful of bitter tears.
"Really? Do you think so too? You haven't read the novel I wrote, come on, come on, show you, tell me how you feel after you finish reading. β
As soon as the topic of the novel was mentioned, she immediately jumped from her originally calm emotions to the blood exuding from her body.
She took out her phone, found a novel, and slammed it in front of me, quite a posture of not reading it.
What's the solution?,Although I'm a science man.,I've always read professional books.,Philosophy books.,I've never been interested in novels.,But my girlfriend can write a book.,It's also right to take a look.γ
It's just that what I didn't expect at all was that she wrote the so-called president novel, why was it so difficult to swallow?
The next day, as soon as the heroine opened her eyes, she shouted, "I'm going to call the police!", and then the male owner said, "Do you think anyone will believe you?,With how good I am.,Others will only think that you took the initiative to post it.,Want to sue me.,There's no door.γ β
The heroine blinked a few times and said in her heart: Yes, no one will believe me, forget it. Then the heroine ran away.
When the heroine went home, she met her stepmother tossing her terminally ill mother, and then the heroine went around looking for money, wanting to treat her mother, and then she touched the porcelain luxury car, and the result was accurate and unintentionally touched the male owner's car, and the male owner slept with her for one night and then remembered her taste, which can be described as a sleep love.
Obviously, the female owner is here to touch porcelain to sell herself.,But the male owner offered to keep her.,She didn't agree?Said that no one would sell it to him?But in the end it was sold.γ
Damn! I've been scorched by thunder for a while, is this also called a novel? Where is the logic? Where is the humanity of the characters? Where are the three views? The president is a beast, and when he sees the heroine, he is in estrus? I can't stand it! I can't stand it!
I was already looking green, and Jiang Xi was still asking me eagerly, "How is it? Do you think it looks good?"
Chapter 24 Write an essay that is positive energy
"Good, look!" I uttered the words almost through gritted teeth.
I calmed down for a moment and thought about it, I can't hit her, lest she be in a bad mood.
"Jiang Xi, I think, if you really want to take a long-term view, you should write a novel with a high level of thought, an online article, it will also develop, and it will not stay in this class forever, right? As an author, you should be at the forefront of readers, right?"
Jiang Xi looked at me with bright eyes, and said, "Okay, you, you can still say something, but it's difficult to grasp this degree, if an author writes something a little bit ahead of the pace, no readers will accept it, this one is also written in accordance with the trend, and now this kind of novel is particularly popular." β
"Then I suggest that you still write your own innovations, and you must write thoughtful and high-level novels, otherwise it will be really boring, and it will be boring to make money. β
Jiang Xi looked at me meaningfully and said, "Do you really think so? You support me in writing novels with depth and thought? In fact, what I really want to write is that there is a sense of life, wisdom of life, and full of positive energy, so that readers who read my books can think about life and human nature, and it will be more perfect to have some correct guidance for some young people who are not familiar with the world." β
"This is good, Jiang Xi, you must write this kind of novel. As I listened to her words, my heart warmed up.
"But novels with thought, depth, and texture, because newcomers are not popular and their writing is not sophisticated enough, it is difficult to get ahead and make money. She grimaced little face.
"Then you have to insist on it, shouldn't all writers have a clean and arrogant face? You can rest assured to write some good works, I will support you! It's a big deal, I'll support you!"
Although I said this last sentence a little weakly, I have it, and I think that she can't really not earn a penny, that is not in line with her ability!
Jiang Xi's face suddenly showed a sunny smile, and even his voice was more crisp and pleasant, "What I want is your words, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to write a thoughtful and layered novel, I just showed you that I didn't write it, haha, that is the number one subscription novel on the list now, I can't write that kind of book!"
Nani? Didn't she write it? and the number one subscriber list? My god!
But how do I feel like I'm being tricked by her again? Is this giving me a shot in advance, is it hard for her to make money writing novels, and is it ready for me to raise her?
Forget it, this matter can't be pondered in detail, otherwise there may be a feeling of boundless suffering, if she really doesn't make money in the future, I still persuade her to find a job to work, writing novels is an unreliable thing.
When the two of us returned to the rental house, we were just in time for Zhou Qiang and Yang Xiaojun to finish working overtime and were eating instant noodles.
Zhou Qiang was eating instant noodles while glaring at me like a complaining husband, "You are the fault of the two of us who have fallen to eating instant noodles, tell you, tomorrow we are going to eat Quanjude roast duck, please, dare not ask me to strangle you!"
"Don't worry, he will definitely invite him, don't ask us to poach Jiang Xi for her. This was said by Yang Xiaojun to Zhou Qiang, but it was obviously said to me.
I craned my neck, hooked my lips slightly, and said, "Please, please, hum!
"Holy!"
Zhou Qiang lifted the instant noodle box filled with Master Kong's braised beef noodle soup and was about to buckle it on my head, but I pulled Jiang Xi into the house and closed the door.
But I still didn't avoid their pit on the weekend, and ate my 300 yuan, forget it, just be a poor single dog, in fact, they are all very good, and they can be brothers.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After that, I went to Jiang Xi's house frequently, I didn't like to go, I always felt very awkward, but Jiang Xi said that her mother invited me to go, and it would be too shameful for me not to go, so I had to go hard.
Jiang Xi's mother made a big table of delicious food to entertain me every time, but every time she couldn't avoid harsh words to find fault with me, for example, once I accidentally fell asleep in Jiang Xi's bed because I didn't wash my feet......
"You said that this Jiangdong, such a big person, is really too unhygienic, he went to bed without washing his feet, you quickly called him up, you can't let him go to bed without washing his feet, that foot stinks to death." β
I slept in a daze on the balcony bed, because I was too tired from working overtime for several days in a row, and I could hear that she was talking about me, but I didn't hear what she said clearly, and when Jiang Xi replied to her mother, my thoughts gradually cleared.
"Mom, he's too tired today, just let him sleep for a while, you don't need to talk about this in the future, if he hears your words, how faceless he is, I'll talk about him, it's all a trivial matter!"
I heard these words clearly, Jiang Xi was taking care of my face, and thought I was asleep and didn't hear it.
But her mother's fiery temper was ignited by one of these sentences, "Oh, I can't say anything about your man, can I? Look at your baby's! You treat him as a baby, does he treat you as a baby?"
"Of course, he also treasures me!" Jiang Xi's voice was not loud but full of pride.
Actually, I wonder where she got her confidence and I also treat her as a baby, well, she is very confident.
This stimulated her mother even more, "Oh my God! I've never seen such a thick skin, why didn't I see that he treated you as a baby, besides, I dried the quilt, I washed the quilt, I can't let him be so scourge, there are bacteria, how can I cover my body, you're not afraid I'm afraid, I'll tell him to get up and wash his feet!"
