Shen Ruzhi also understood the difficulty of Qin Shaoheng's position, and neither of them pursued this matter further.

Because he got up early in the morning, Shen went back to the room to sleep as scheduled, while Qin Shaoheng went upstairs to handle official business in the study.

After lunch, Qin Shaoheng returned to the company.

Shen stayed alone in the villa as scheduled, thinking about it, he still sent a message to Gu Dan, "How did it go last night?"

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Gu Dan's reply.

Since Gu Dan was accompanied by Haoyu last night, there shouldn't be any major incidents, and Shen Rucheng didn't have too much to worry about. I was bored in the villa, so I went to a nearby bookstore, planning to buy some reference books for assistant positions.

I didn't know that I was running into the bookstore's signing activity, this bookstore was originally an Internet celebrity bookstore, famous for its spacious literary and artistic design, high user experience, plus the boss is half of the entertainment industry, and there are often all kinds of stars and Internet celebrities here.

There are a lot of ordinary people, there are activities today, and it is even more crowded, this bookstore Qin Shaoheng brought her here before, the boss knows Qin Shaoheng, and when he came over, he gave a VIP gold card, fortunately, in addition to enjoying discounts, you can also enjoy VIP channels in this gold card.

Shen walked in from the VIP channel next to it with this card as scheduled, fortunately, the classification of reference books was still in a more intermediate position, she compared a few times, picked a few, and walked out of the classification area of reference books, the signing activity when she came had ended, the crowd had dispersed, and only the author's poster was left on the empty signing table. She glanced at it a few times, thinking that she was here anyway, just in time to pick out some more books.

In the Chinese department she studied in college, reading literary works was an essential assignment. When I was in college, I had plenty of time, and coupled with the requirements of coursework, I read a lot of books, Haruki Murakami, Liang Wendao, Wang Xiaobo, Mu Xin, Stephen Zweig, Agatha Christie, Keigo Higashino and other books, she has read them, but she has read them and swallowed dates, often forgets after reading them, those feelings after reading, analysis and writing intentions, often make her crazy, when she was in high school, her Chinese grades were top-notch, influenced by her father, and she also read good books, but it was really a task to complete, and most of the fun was missing.

Fortunately, after graduation, she did not engage in related industries, and after stopping reading for a long time, she raised her interest in reading again.

This bookstore usually pushes the main book every week, but she stopped at the recommendation desk, picked up this week's weekly book, and flipped a few pages.

The book is a novella, the author is a new young writer, named: Zhou Chen, the introduction is cut short in one sentence: just a speck of dust in the universe.

Shen hooked his lips with interest as scheduled, and read most of the article, the author's pen power can be seen to be extraordinary, starting from the ordinary stories in life, whether it is narrative techniques or emotional rendering, the processing methods are high-level, coupled with thought-provoking analysis, the whole book is very readable.

Nowadays, it seems that few authors have been able to do this.

Shen decided to buy the book as scheduled.

Just as she was about to leave with the book, a person suddenly stood beside her, wearing a black mask, with dark eyebrows and a high nose, and lowered her voice, "What do you think of this book?"

Shen was stunned for a moment, looked around, and only she was still standing in this position, lowered her voice, and replied, "Very well written." ”

It's the truth.

But the other party seemed to chuckle for a while, and did not intend to end the topic, "Which story do you think is the best written?"

Although the other party's question was a little inexplicable, Shen replied out of politeness, "In the story I saw, the second story." ”

If you really want to pick out one of the several stories that Shen Ruzhi has read, Shen Ruzhi will not hesitate to choose the second one.

The second story tells that on an ordinary day, a girl dressed up beautifully to go on a date with a boy she has loved for a long time, and made an appointment with a car on a certain taxi software, but the driver saw the color and drove the car to a remote place, the girl realized that something was wrong, and said to her friend that it was wrong and lost contact, and the friend immediately contacted the taxi software and asked to get the driver's contact information, after the platform customer service received the appeal, it was impossible to distinguish the true from the false, and reported it to the superior leader, and the customer service manager gave feedback to the relevant personnel of the headquarters, and after wasting a long time in the middle, the countermeasure issued by the headquarters was to contact the driver to verify the situation, and the customer service manager had to contact the driverOf course, the driver denied it, but instead gave the driver more time to commit the crime.

The girl's friend called the police, and the police filed a case to intervene in the investigation, only to get the news of the driver and carry out a series of arrest activities.

But fortunately, the girl found an opportunity to escape, and when she was found, she only suffered some physical injuries.

The matter was exposed on the Internet, and a burst of public opinion was oriented, accusing the platform of inaction after the incident, as well as the weak verification of the platform drivers, for a while, more passengers who were harassed by drivers on this taxi software stood up, and the platform fell into the whirlpool of public opinion, so they had to send a public relations article head-on, dismiss the customer service manager, and temporarily take the taxi business off the shelves for rectification.

Ironically, the boy the girl who almost lost her life is going on a date actually likes her, and the boy's father is the customer service manager who handles the matter. The information of the customer service manager was exposed, the fire of public opinion was exerted on the customer service manager, the boy found that his father had done such a thing, he couldn't forgive him, and wanted to cut off relations with him, all kinds of abuse and accusations from netizens made the customer service manager fall into a collapse, couldn't think of committing suicide, and lost his life.

Almost a month later, things faded away, the ride-hailing app was back online, and at the same time, a large number of coupons were given away.

In this article, the final shot is that a beautifully dressed girl got into a taxi called by a taxi software, and the driver's eyes were shining, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with an evil smile.

Shen was very touched after reading this story as scheduled.

The author's pen power is really profound, and the coolness and powerlessness revealed from the story hovered over her heart.

"Why did you choose this story? This is the only non-love story, I thought you girls would like that lingering love-hate relationship!" The person standing next to him picked up the book in his hand, twisted his eyebrows, lowered his hoarse voice, and continued to ask her.

Being suddenly defined by this, Shen Ruzhi was a little unconvinced, and suddenly had a little worse impression of the people around him, although he lowered his voice, he was obviously displeased, "This gentleman, not all girls are full of love and love, just like not all boys are concerned about the issue of social responsibility." Boys are not the only ones responsible for building this society. Do you think that girls should be satisfied with love and be at home with their husbands and children, or should they become the victims in this story?"

The person on the side was obviously stunned, "I'm sorry, if I offend you in any way, give me a chance, I'll invite you to a cup of coffee." ”

"No thanks, thank you for your kindness. Shen frowned as expected, she really didn't have a good impression of the person in front of her, suppressed her voice, hurriedly closed the book, and walked to the cash register.

After paying the money, she walked out of the bookstore, but found that it was raining outside, and the bad thing was that she didn't bring an umbrella, so Shen had to hold the book in her arms as scheduled, planning to rush to the bus stop on the side of the road and take a taxi back.

Before she could take a step, a black umbrella was propped up on her head. She raised her head in surprise, and saw a boy wearing white T-sleeves, his face and clothes were a little familiar, and she suddenly remembered that this boy's face was seven or eight points similar to the face on the signing poster, that is, the person in front of her was the author of the episode in her arms, and the white T-sleeves were familiar, because the boy standing next to her just now was also wearing the same white T-sleeves.

Shen Ruzhi was embarrassed for a while, and blushed slightly, the person standing next to her just now turned out to be the author of the original work.

"You recognize me?" the boy smiled, revealing a row of neat white teeth.

Shen nodded embarrassedly.

"I'm really sorry just now, but what I said may have misunderstood you. The boy paused and continued, "My name is Zhang Ruochen, I don't know if there is a chance to invite you to a cup of coffee." There is a nice coffee shop right next to the bookstore. I don't mean anything but want to hear what you think of the book. ”

Zhang Ruochen's appearance is very clean, his tone is sincere, Shen Ruzhi glanced at the rain outside, in fact, she has always revered these authors who can write thought-provoking stories, because they are using a beautiful text to make people think about this society. She hesitated. But in the end, he decided to agree to Zhang Ruochen's request.

The atmosphere of the coffee shop was petty, and there were not many people sitting in the spacious hall, so they found a place to sit by the window. They each ordered a cup of milk tea that they were used to drinking.

There was a large area of gloom outside, raindrops were making a messy trail along the windows, and the air conditioning inside was just right.

Soon, the sweet-looking waiters brought their respective coffees.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet?" Zhang Ruochen's voice was still as clear as a teenager, and it was difficult to connect the person in front of him with the poignant and ironic book.

"Shen as scheduled, as scheduled. Shen replied with a sip of coffee as scheduled.

"Nice name. I remember when I was writing in the early years, I often posted some short stories on Sina Weibo, and one netizen also called it as scheduled. I remember I posted a little story in which the bad guy didn't get the punishment he deserved, and she sent a lot of private messages trying to correct my values. ”

Shen Ruzhi was embarrassed for a while, it seemed that the netizen in Zhang Ruochen's mouth was himself, and things were so bizarre.

When she was in college, Shen was very clear about right and wrong, she was well protected before she left society, and she had never encountered a bad situation at all, in her cognition, bad people must be punished.

At that time, the professor of literature class once said that when any author writes, he does not criticize human nature, but analyzes human nature. She understood it very briefly at that time, thinking that the implication was that for the author, writing a character well is more important than letting a character get the due ending in the framework of the story and transmitting the correct value orientation.

She didn't agree with this sentence at that time and tried to argue with the professor, but Cheng Yiteng persuaded her not to be so serious, and she gave up the idea of arguing after coaxing her for a long time.

She originally liked to find some short stories on the Internet to read, and it turned out that the bad guys in the stories had a better ending than the good guys. Naturally, he was not happy, and sent piles of private messages to correct the author's values.

Later, she discovered that virtual literary creation cannot accurately project the real social structure, and it is important to transmit correct values, but sometimes, it is also important to let readers examine, think and criticize in an extreme way, and never reinforce correct values. True literature should deepen its ideas on the basis of inclusiveness.

Shen Ruzhi was a little weak-hearted, and whispered, "It seems that the netizen in your mouth is me." ”
