Chapter 63: The New Book
As the sun sets, the last faint rays of sunlight softly sprinkle on the deep alleys of the capital. This is an old hutong that is deeper than the average hutong, and the courtyard here is also a little more elaborate than the other courtyards.
The solemn door of the house, the shiny door cymbals, a few children chasing and playing under the old locust tree in the courtyard, a peaceful and harmonious scene. But then a loud shout came from inside the main house, breaking it all.
"Sven scum, deceive people too much!"
Inside the main room sat an old man of fifty or sixty years old in a robe and a horse coat, and he slapped his right hand on the armrest several times, and his goatee was shaking, and it seemed that something really made him angry.
A young man standing in front of him, who was holding a laptop to show him, was startled by his sudden reaction, and the computer in his hand almost fell out without holding it steadily.
After stabilizing, the young man hurriedly comforted the old man and said: "Uncle, you dissipate your anger, this Zhuang Yan is just fighting for some tongues, don't take it too seriously, save yourself from being angry." ”
Of course, Qin Li knew that what his nephew said was reasonable, but he still couldn't help but be angry, he had never scolded people for the sake of scolding, and no one had scolded him like this until now.
No one has scolded him like this, not because of how high his status is in the literary world, no one dares to provoke him, it's just that he has always scolded people with soft persimmons, like those with harder ideas, of course he won't touch them.
Since it is a soft persimmon, even if it is scolded, at best, it will complain and complain, and no one has ever done it like this. Although Zhuang Yan's words did not name names, at this juncture, who doesn't know that "some critics" refers to him Qin Li?
This Zhuang Yan was so poisonous that he directly equated him Qin Li with the eunuch, but the most angry thing was that he found that he had no reason to refute it.
And "face-to-face" is also doing things, as soon as he saw Zhuang Yan posted on Weibo, he put his Weibo on the homepage headline, and the headline of Qin Liyi's "Alive" was not put down before, it was placed next to the new headline, it looked like two dialog boxes, now even people who don't know the whole story know that Zhuang Yan scolded him.
Thinking of this, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slapped the arm of the chair again, and said to the young man in front of him, "I'll say, you come to write." ”
The young man hurriedly sat down at the table next to him with his laptop, waiting for Qin Li to speak.
Qin Li held on to the handrail and pondered for a moment, then spoke: "Huh, servant, a man without a father or mother......! Forget it, I won't add this sentence...... The shaft is rude and immoral......"
He has experienced a lot of scolding wars, big and small, and of course his combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, and he scolds hundreds of words without pause, using sharp and mean words, and directly saying Zhuang Yan as a treacherous villain who has no father and no mother, and is disorderly and moral.
After finishing speaking, Qin Li let out a long breath, and the evil qi that had just accumulated in his heart also spit out along with these hundreds of words. I have to say that every time he scolds someone is his happiest time, of course, being scolded is another matter.
After Qin Li's nephew entered his words into the computer, he checked the errors, and then pushed the computer in front of Qin Li and asked, "Uncle, do you think there is a mistake?"
Qin Li waved his hand: "Send it directly." ”
……
Zhuang Yan started writing "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta" again after eating, and he didn't pay attention to the "face-to-face" things at all, so he didn't know that Qin Li's counterattack was so fast, and this time he scolded even more fiercely.
Until the next morning, Zhuang Yan called Wang Lijian after breakfast, and the reason why he made this call was because Zhuang Yan was going to post "Metamorphosis" on the Internet today and wanted to discuss it with Wang Lijian.
However, as soon as the phone was connected, Wang Lijian spoke first: "Zhuang Yan, how is it, isn't it cool, you are lucky this time, Qin Li, an old horseman, dug his own grave, and no one else is to blame." But you were also calm, and you couldn't help but say no more. ”
Zhuang Yan didn't quite understand what he said, and wondered: "What do you mean? I haven't paid attention to the news on the Internet since last night." ”
"Then why are you calling me, not about this, what else is there?" Wang Lijian said in surprise, Zhuang Yan would not call him if there was nothing special.
Zhuang Yan smiled: "I'm here to tell you about my new book, but listening to what you mean, it seems that there is any exciting news?"
Wang Lijian was obviously stunned for a moment on the phone, and then said with some excitement: "New book, do you have a new book?"
"Well, there's a new book, but what do you mean by what you just said?" Zhuang Yan said.
"Hey, that's all small things, you can just take a look at it on the 'face-to-face' website later, I won't go into detail with you, let's talk about the new book first. You kid, why haven't you heard you talk about a new book before? Wang Lijian seems to be very interested in the new book.
There was no way, Zhuang Yan could only put down his curiosity and doubts first, and said: "I wrote it on a whim." ”
"Whims?" Wang Lijian suddenly realized something, and said, "Listen to what you mean, this book is not long?"
"Well, only 30,000 words. Zhuang Yan replied truthfully.
"30,000 words!" Wang Lijian said in surprise: "This is too little, it is very difficult to publish such a short book." ”
Of course, Zhuang Yan knew that it would be difficult to publish 30,000 words, so he never thought about publishing it from the beginning, and he said, "Well, I know, so I'm here to talk to you about serialization on the Internet." ”
Wang Lijian was a little disappointed after hearing this, relatively speaking, of course, he hoped that Zhuang Yan's new book could be longer and able to be published in an entity, although the entity is not necessarily more profitable than online serialization, but the benefits of publishing an entity to the "literary and artistic world" website are much greater.
Just like after the publication of "Alive" this time, the name of the publishing house of the literary and artistic website was suddenly called, and it also changed people's inherent impression of the literary and artistic website.
If there are a few more books like "Alive", maybe the literary and artistic website can truly become an authority in the literary world.
But the disappointment is only for a moment, although it can't be physical, it's always good to have new works, he quickly changed his mood and said: "I understand what you mean, you want our website to promote you, right?" ”
Zhuang Yan was guessed and laughed, "Well, that's what it means." ”
"Okay, no problem, even if you don't say it, when your new book is launched, the website will be launched. Wang Lijian directly agreed, but then he said with a smile: "Can you give me a sneak peek of your new book, you must know that I am your fan." ”
"Mr. Wang said with a smile, I will give you the new book when I turn around, if there is any mistake or omission, please also give me advice and correct it. Zhuang Yan said modestly.
After saying a few more words, Zhuang Yan hung up the phone, he turned his gaze to the computer, what Wang Lijian said just now, he can't wait to know what is going on.
