In late August, the weather began to slowly become less hot than it had been some time ago, with the occasional large clouds obscuring the sun and the hot wind blowing through the ground gradually cooling.

On a road covered by green shade, Zhuang Yan gasped and slowly put down his steps, and Chen Jiaqing, who was running in front of him, saw him stop, and also stopped in place with a smile and waited for him.

"Zhuang Yan, you still have to exercise your body. Every day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon is the best time to run, and I will take you for more runs in the future. Chen Jiaqing said with a smile.

Zhuang Yan didn't want to show his cowardice in front of Chen Jiaqing, but this body was really not very competitive, the two of them probably ran for less than twenty minutes, and the speed was also very slow, and he felt bad after running about three kilometers in total.

Not only gasping for air, but feeling that there is not enough air in the lungs. When he ran just now, there was a wind blowing, and he didn't feel anything, but as soon as he stopped, he felt a heat rush from top to bottom of his head, gathering on his face, and large beads of sweat came out of his pores.

Chen Jiaqing saw that his hair was wet with sweat, so he took out a napkin from his pocket and handed it to him, "Come and wipe the sweat." ”

Zhuang Yan took the tissue and glanced up at Chen Jiaqing, in fact, she was not much better, she could still feel a little out of breath when she spoke, and her white T-shirt was also wet with sweat, and the shoulder straps of the floral bra could be faintly seen on the shoulders.

Zhuang Yan grinned unconsciously, he didn't expect Chen Jiaqing to wear a floral bra, in Zhuang Yan's impression, he had only seen it on those female classmates when he was in middle school before.

Chen Jiaqing noticed his expression and said strangely, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhuang Yan lowered his head to cover it up, and then said: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that my own body is so bad, and it's not as good as you." ”

Chen Jiaqing smiled proudly: "There's nothing embarrassing about this, I was an athlete when I was in school, and I often participated in sports meetings in school." ”

Zhuang Yan smiled, and he probably eased up at this time, straightened up and said with a smile: "Okay, today's sports are over, I don't think it's too early, you should also pick up Xiaoying." ”

Chen Jiaqing looked at the time, nodded and said, "Okay, you go back first, I'll pick her up at school." ”

The place where they ran was next to the community, and the two walked a few steps back downstairs, Chen Jiaqing rode away, and Zhuang Yan went upstairs directly.

When he returned home, Zhuang Yan was about to take a shower, but the mobile phone rang on the table.

"Answering the phone, answering the call......"

It was Wang Lijian's phone, and Zhuang Yan took a look at it and connected the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, before Zhuang Yan could speak, Wang Lijian on the other side said a little anxiously: "Zhuang Yan, your phone call is really difficult, and no one answered for half an hour." ”

When Zhuang Yan heard his voice so urgent, he was a little puzzled: "I just went out for a trip, what is the matter with you, so urgent?"

"It's not urgent, it's me who is in a hurry, and you're really a guy, do you have to hide something?" Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan was even more strange, "Mr. Wang, it's not good for you to talk halfway, what's the matter, let you call me in such a hurry, what can I hide from you?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me, let me ask you, did you write 'The Adventures of Shuck and Beta?'" Mr. Wang said.

Zhuang Yan knew what was going on when he heard "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta", and it seemed that Wang Lijian had already seen the author's information. He was not surprised, after all, the book has been slightly famous on the website recently, and it is normal for them to learn about the author's information.

He smiled and said: "I should still be in a hurry, haven't you all seen the author's information? Besides, I publish a book on the website, can I hide it from you? Your website requires real-name authentication." ”

Of course, Wang Lijian knew that Zhuang Yan didn't deliberately want to hide it from him, but he also expressed doubts about his practice of opening a vest to write a book: "Didn't you say that your previous account was used well, why did you suddenly want to open a vest." I read the book "The Adventures of Shuck and Beta", although the style is very different from "Alive" and "Metamorphosis", but it is also a very good children's book. There's no need for you to open another vest at all, if you open the book in a large size, I think the book will definitely get a lot better, and it is definitely not in the current state. ”

Wang Lijian is right, if from a business point of view, publishing a book on a large number is definitely conducive to the promotion of the book. However, Zhuang Yan didn't think about these commercial promotion things when he released the book at that time, the book was purely carrying the memories of children of his generation in the previous life, and he didn't want to mix it with other things.

And Wang Lijian himself said that the style of this book is completely different from the other two books, and it always feels weird to post it on a large size.

However, he didn't tell Wang Lijian about these things in his own heart, but explained: "Mr. Wang, in fact, I also think about it from a business perspective. No matter how good "The Adventures of Shuck and Beta" is, it is a fairy tale book, which does not fit the positioning of "Zhuang Yan". Later, when people think of fairy tales, they can't think of 'Zhuang Yan' in any way. But now it's different, if the pen name 'Fairy Tale Manor' becomes famous in the future, people will definitely think of this pen name when they think of fairy tales, which can be regarded as a brand effect. ”

Wang Lijian paused on the other side, obviously thinking about Zhuang Yan's words, and after a while he spoke: "Zhuang Yan, your statement is also reasonable, but if you want to build a brand, you need a lot of things......"

"Mr. Wang, don't you have confidence in this book?" Zhuang Yan said.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, I also think this is a very good quality book, but if you want to build a brand, in addition to quality, quantity is also a very important thing, and a brand cannot be supported by a book. Although "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" are also the same book, there are a lot of short stories in them, which are completely different from the nature of your book. Wang Lijian patiently analyzed Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan nodded secretly, even if Zheng Yuanjie of later generations was called the king of Chinese fairy tales, it was definitely not because of the book "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta", he had many other very good works. And those works with amazing quantity and quality have created Zheng Yuanjie, the king of Chinese fairy tales.

"Mr. Wang, you are very right, so I didn't even think about posting this book. Zhuang Yan said.

Wang Lijian was a little surprised and said, "You mean, after this book, you have to write other fairy tales?"

Zhuang Yan snorted, "Yes." ”
