Chapter 8 Withdrawal
Chapter 8 Exit
……
Originally, he felt that he was an old bookworm who had read novels for more than ten years, and he was proficient in all kinds of routines; plus he was a writer, and his writing was also extremely good; he didn't dare to think of a book as a god, at least his grades were good.
But the gap between the ideal and the reality tells Guo Shouyun not to expect too much from life!
Hit the streets, hit the streets again!
Fortunately, Guo Shouyun was born with a tenacity in his bones that he would not give up until he reached his goal, and he supported him to work hard for more than six years. After more than six years of tempering, he finally combined his writing with the routines of online novels, and learned how to set up suspense, how to control the rhythm, how to mobilize the reader's emotions, how to arrange the climax and a series of writing skills.
In the past six years, in addition to reading a large number of best-selling books on the Internet, he has also purchased thousands of books on politics, military, finance, literature, curiosity and romance to enrich his knowledge reserve.
Through these efforts, he finally ushered in his own outbreak half a year before his rebirth.
Now, although all of his previous grades have been zeroed out because of his rebirth. But what I wrote down in my head, I didn't forget the knowledge in my hand. Coupled with the integration of Bruce Guo's memories, after he understood the way of thinking, reading habits and preferences of Americans, he was not afraid that what he wrote would not be read.
Moreover, the content he writes is time-proven bestsellers, popular movies and TV series, which adds an extra layer of security.
Of course, it is impossible for him to remember every detail of the original books and movies. However, Guo Shouyun remembers the main story line and the wonderful key plots in it very clearly, and this is especially important for writing.
As long as there is a main line and a key plot, if you simply add branches and leaves, Guo Shouyun will feel that she will not be worse than the original author.
After thinking about it, Guo Shouyun opened the folder of "Island Bookstore", which was a novel he had just read before he was reborn, and he still remembered most of the content. Coupled with the fact that it was the shortest, Guo Shouyun decided to finish it first.
Anyone who has ever written a novel knows that as long as the main line of the story is clear, it is very fast to write. Although Guo Shouyun can't compare to the hand speed of those awesome characters, under his full attention, he can code six or seven thousand words when he is in excellent condition for an hour. However, there is no Smart Input right now. In the case that every character is completely typed by hand, the speed is forced to slow down by half.
But it's already pretty good.
When people are focused, they are always unaware of the passage of time. Almost in the blink of an eye, it was already dark outside.
"Knock...!"
"Please come in!"
Martin Alexander pushed the door and walked in.
"Bruce, everyone's off work, let's go too?"
"Wait a minute!"
After Guo Shouyun saved the chapters he had written, he closed the computer and put them in the bag next to him.
"You're still going to bring the computer back?"
"Well, there's still some work to be done!" Guo Shouyun changed the subject, "Let's go, I'm hungry." ”
"I still have cheesecake I bought at noon, why don't you eat it first?"
"No, I'd like to eat broccoli beef from the cafeteria tonight. ”
Because the two of them left the latest, they were also responsible for the task of turning off the lights.
Driving back to school, after dinner, it was already half past nine in the evening. According to Guo Shouyun's work and rest habits, he had to go to bed at half past ten and get up on time at six in the morning. This is a necessary amount of sleep for middle-aged people to maintain their energy and physical health during the day.
This habit that has been cultivated for many years, even if Guo Shouyun is now reborn and has a healthy body of 19 years old, it still has not changed.
Because he had a room of his own, it did not surprise Martin Alexander. After getting up at six o'clock, according to Guo Shouyun's habit, he had to jog for half an hour, but there was no treadmill in his dormitory at this time. But fortunately, as the main guard of the basketball team, there is no shortage of sportswear in his room.
After changing into an Adidas outfit, Guo Shouyun pushed open the door and walked out lightly. On the other side, Martin's door was closed, and he could faintly hear the snoring coming from it, and it was obvious that this guy was still sleeping soundly.
Guo Shouyun didn't mean to disturb his dream, walked through the porch, opened the door and turned around and walked out. It was quiet in the hallway. He also understands that despite the differences between American and Chinese university life, there are many similarities. For example, everyone is a night owl. In Chinese universities, people may play games and watch football games late in the evening. Here, in addition to basketball and games, add a party!
Americans seem to have a natural love for this kind of lively stuff, and they come to it almost every Saturday and Sunday. If you encounter something happy, you can't miss it. But perhaps it is the relationship between personality and writing major, Guo Shouyun still has no sense of the party even if he receives Bruce Guo's memory.
After shaking his head and expelling the superfluous distractions in his mind, he tidied up his clothes, and Guo Shouyun walked downstairs.
San Francisco has a Mediterranean climate bordered by the eastern Pacific Ocean, and although it's mid-April, it's not too cold. In addition, like him, there are many people in college who like to get up early to exercise. When Guo Shouyun was breathing fresh air and jogging along the boulevard, there was no shortage of companions around him.
"Bruce?"
Hearing the voice, Guo Shouyun subconsciously turned his head to look, and when a middle-aged white man in gray sportswear ran over.
"Coach Dawkins?"
Johnny Dawkins is the head coach of the Stanford University basketball team. At Duke University, he served as an assistant coach for Coach K for ten years, and later served as the team director of the American basketball dream team. He is well-known in the American basketball world, and his coaching ability is extraordinary.
"Looks like you're totally fine!"
Johnny Dawkins looked up and down and laughed.
"Just discharged from the hospital a few days ago!"
"I know!" Dawkins nodded, with a hint of pity on his face, "If you hadn't been injured and hospitalized, we wouldn't have lost to Berkeley in the 'Bay Area Derby' last March Madness!"
In the NCAA basketball world, there are many rivals. For example, the famous North Carolina and Duke, every year the matchup between these two basketball giants can attract national attention, and its popularity is no worse than the NBA championship battle. And Stanford University's Cardinal vs UC Berkeley Golden State Bears won the 'Bay Area Derby', although it is not as good as the Duke North Carolina dispute, but it is also in the spotlight.
Stanford University represents the top private universities in the United States, while Berkeley is known as the best public university in the United States.
"Coach, we still have a lot of opportunities in the future!"
"Not bad!" Johnny Dawkins nodded in agreement, "I've already applied for more basketball funding from the principal, and I'm sure I'll be able to dig up a few good seedlings from high school this year." Coupled with you experienced veterans, we will definitely be able to reach the Sweet Sixteen next year!"
Looking at Johnny Dawkins, who was full of confidence, Guo Shouyun hesitated for a moment, but finally did not plan to hide it anymore.
"Coach Dawkins, I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'm quitting the basketball team!"
"What?"
Shocked, Johnny Dawkins's footsteps couldn't help but stop.
"You mean really?"
After digesting it for a moment, Dawkins hurriedly asked.
Guo Shouyun nodded affirmatively.
"Why? You're only a junior now! Are you going to go to the NBA draft?"
As the main point guard of the Stanford Cardinals, a strong team in NCAA basketball, Bruce Guo is among the top in the entire league, and many agents have approached him. These are also known to Johnny Dawkins.
"No, I didn't plan to get into the NBA. The reason why I quit the basketball team is mainly because the company I founded has entered a stage of rapid development, and time and energy do not allow me to take care of basketball anymore. Guo Shouyun shook his head.
If there is no 20 years of prior knowledge, Guo Shouyun may really inherit Bruce Guo's good body and basketball skills and enter the NBA. But now he apparently has no interest in it.
Guo Shouyun's academic performance, of course, Dawkins knows, and his choice is not too strange.
"It looks like I'm going to have a headache for the team's point guards again this summer!"
Looking at Guo Shouyun's determined eyes, Johnny Dawkins couldn't help but sigh.
“… Bruce, I respect your decision. As your coach, I wish you success in your venture. ”
"Thank you!"
"Remember to visit the basketball team often, this will always be your home!"
"Definitely!"
After separating from Johnny Dawkins, Guo Shouyun finished his thirty minutes of running, and then went to the restaurant to buy two breakfasts to take back to the dormitory.
After a simple wash, I woke up Martin Alexander, who was lying in bed, and after eating, the two drove to the company together.
Leave the development of the LinkedIn website to Martin, and the company has Tim George. In addition, the current scale of the company is not large, so Guo Shouyun, who is only responsible for strategic decision-making, has plenty of independent time.
And this abundant time was basically used by him to write novels. This is also the only way he can think of at the moment to bring himself a lot of wealth.
However, with the exception of Pirates of the Caribbean, Fifty Shades of Grey, and The Island Bookstore, the most he wrote the rest of the time was the outline.
"The Hunger Games", "The Big Bang Theory", and "The Ferryman" will inevitably be forgotten with the passage of time, as long as the novels, TV series, movies, variety shows, games, etc. he has read, and the impressions he still has in his mind, they will be recorded in the form of an outline.
Without emotional distractions, Guo Shouyun, who is striving for the future, has a full and busy life. LinkedIn registered users finally grew rapidly after Martin developed address book uploads and group rentals. In just half a month, it has tripled.
However, when the time came to the end of April, Guo Shouyun could not care about LinkedIn for the time being.
