a day ago.

The sound of crackling keyboards.

The room was a mess that hadn't been cleaned up for a long time, and there were three buckets of instant noodles stacked in the trash can.

Smack.

A lonely cigarette lit slowly.

The computer screen is the background of the author of the online novel, and what catches the eye is the information of seven or eight works, science fiction, two-dimensional, urban, fantasy, and games......

There are almost all major genres, but the state of these works is like a pool of stagnant water.

【Lock/Block】

That is, these works have been deleted or blocked.

Zhan Hongwei smoked the cigarette silently, he held his forehead decadently, his eyes were slightly red, and he all threw himself into the street.

For more than a year, his work has become worse and worse.

He once had an extremely glorious moment, with a monthly manuscript fee of 30,000 or 40,000, and the fans in the readership group were extremely lively, with 99+ information in every second.

Even overseas there are his readers, and there are fans who send couriers and gifts.

Zhan Hongwei had a bitter smile in the corner of his mouth.

During that period of time, I was proud.

However, it seems that the nightmare has come silently before the dream has not yet woken up.

Zhan Hongwei opened his second novel.

The results are a little dismal, and there are only thousands of manuscript fees per month, which is a big gap compared with the previous works.

He was very unwilling, so he finished the book hastily, and then opened the third work.

And so the vicious circle begins.

For nearly a year to follow, he was no longer able to write works that met the market, so that the results of his novels dropped again and again.

Fortunately, he still has some savings that can afford his expenses.

However, as the saying goes, it is easy to enter luxury and it is difficult to go from luxury to poverty.

At the beginning, the monthly manuscript fee of tens of thousands of yuan has made an extremely subtle change in his consumption concept of buying things, and while his income has decreased, consumption has not dropped much.

Finally, more than half a year ago, Zhan Hongwei spent all his savings, and he also owed foreign debts because of excessive consumption.

He became more and more nervous and even began to suffer from insomnia.

He also lost a lot of weight.

He frantically opened books, one by one, but he became more and more confused.

Now there are only a few hundred yuan left in the bank card, and I can't even afford to pay back next month's Huabei.

Zhan Hongwei smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the works cut out one by one on the screen, and couldn't help but think of the words of persuasion from relatives and friends.

My friend painstakingly persuaded: "It's better to go to work first, and make a transition!"

"Yes, writing a novel is like a part-time job. ”

The family couldn't help but start chattering: "You have a book like this, when will it be a head?"

"Alas, cut again, this author is a perennial eunuch, everyone be careful!"

Readers have admitted that they are not willing to continue reading unless it is a finished work.

He blinked his somewhat moist eyes and couldn't help but laugh.

Laughing and laughing, I cried.

Tears in his eyes slowly rolled down his face as if they were uncontrollable.

Persisted again and again.

Every time I was full of expectations, and in the end it was not as good as I wanted.

He once thought he had a talent for it, but the harsh reality told him that it might really just be luck.

It's like a hundred flavors irrigated in my heart, and the feeling is very complicated.

He thought of an exciting subject with great anticipation yesterday, but today when Huabei's repayment message came, he looked at the empty bank card balance for a moment.

It was as if the whole world had fallen into darkness.

All passions are like being splashed with cold water.

Zhan Hongwei's nose was slightly sour, he touched his mobile phone and found a number, and dialed it.

"Hey, Mom. ”

His voice was a little choked, as if something was blocking his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

"Yes, which store did you say was recruiting people last time?"

"Okay, I'll try. ”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Hung up the phone with a beep, and the tears in his eyes finally poured out uncontrollably again, and he lay on the pillow, choking and crying very hard......

At that moment, all the suppressed emotions completely exploded, and I still couldn't bear it after all.

He gasped for air, and with mixed intent, he made an announcement in his readership, and then pressed Disband.

"I'm sorry to disappoint your expectations. ”

……

Night.

The entrance of a music restaurant called Hutaoli.

Suddenly, many people's eyes were drawn to the extremely eye-catching car on the street.

A red Porsche Paramela slowly drove in.

As the world's top sports car brand, the Porsche 718 is the favorite of many entry-level sports car enthusiasts.

Further up is the classic Porsche 911 sports car, which has always been a hot existence.

Compared with the convertible or hard-top Porsche 911, this Paramela is much more low-key and luxurious, with the ultimate appearance, luxurious interior, and high-tech center console, which is undoubtedly the best in the same price range.

On top of that, this is a four-door coupe that can seat four people.

Sitting in the car is Liu Jingjing, a beautiful woman with exquisite makeup, wearing a one-shoulder skirt and a shawl with long hair.

It took a lot of thought before she finally decided to choose this model.

From the color of the car, the wheel surfaces of the wheels, the interior leather seats, and other configurations are the result of careful consideration, the landing price of the whole car is 2.1 million.

Many people's eyes were attracted.

This is Li Mowen's new car, and in order to celebrate the landing of the new car, the two naturally have to have a drink.

Liu Jingjing's long eyelashes twitched slightly, and she looked up at the store with a smile, she remembered that it seemed that it was the first time she had come here alone with a boy, but she had been here two or three times with her girlfriends and friends.

She wears a blue shawl dress, and her makeup is life-like but perfect, unlike those girls who are out of reach.

Liu Jingjing's temperament belongs to the kind that gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Maybe not the kind of girl who makes it difficult to look away at a glance, but it's definitely the type that makes it more comfortable the more you look at it.

Li Mowen parked the car, and the two walked into the Hutaoli Music Restaurant side by side.

The atmosphere inside is also very lively, and there are almost no empty tables that stand out.

The waiter stepped forward very enthusiastically and asked, "Are there two of you?"

Liu Jingjing nodded and smiled: "Yes!"

"Please follow me!"

The waiter smiled and led the way.

It seems that in today's catering industry, service has become a very important part that cannot be ignored.

The waiter politely pulled out two chairs for the lady, one for her bag and the other for her to sit down.

Li Mowen opened the menu and browsed the dishes in the store.

Liu Jingjing smiled and swiped Douyin, and then clicked on a small video of a cat detective and said with a smile: "Look at this, it's so cute!"

Li Mowen replied with a smile while looking at the menu: "Do you play Douyin?"

With that, he was about to take the other party's phone.

Liu Jingjing suddenly put the phone back in a hurry, and quibbled with a smile in her eyes: "Don't play!"

As soon as he heard this, he knew that it was fake, Li Mowen reached out and wanted to grab it, and shouted with a smile: "Give it to me, I'll know at a glance." ”

She remembered that she seemed to have posted some silly short videos on it, and immediately shook her head with a smile and said, "No." ”

"Is there a secret?" Li Mowen asked with the corners of his mouth raised, "Fish pond?"

Liu Jingjing deliberately teased the chick pecking at the rice and nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes, what about the two big ponds!!"

Although I have to admit that the girl in front of me is very eye-catching, Li Mowen's gaze was attracted by the boy behind him.

The green word made him feel a little sorry.

Probably noticing Li Mowen's gaze, Liu Jingjing looked back with some curiosity, wanting to see what kind of young lady attracted the other party's attention.

Unexpectedly, Li Mowen waved at the waiter with a smile and asked a very confusing word.

He tilted his head and asked with a mysterious smile in his eyes, "Do you want to change your life?"

Zhan Hongwei was stunned in place, stunned.
