Li Yuan actually didn't mind Zhao Min borrowing it, but he couldn't help but mind Xu Xiaowen and Shen Zhuyin's thoughts.

Especially Xu Xiaowen, in recent times, with the increasing number of contact opportunities, the relationship between the two has greatly improved. Applying the setting of the cultivation game, the relationship between the two has developed from cold to ordinary, and they are working hard and being friendly is just around the corner.

In this case, what kind of innocent landlord and pretty tenant drama is purely looking for his own death.

What should I do? Li Yuan pondered this question all the way.

……

Back at the place where they lived, Xu and Shen were really there, they were using Li Yuan's place as a place to access the Internet for free.

As soon as Xu Xiaowen saw Li Yuan, she thought of last night's incident, and lowered her head shyly and didn't speak, while Shen Zhuyin looked very grinning, crossed her waist and asked, "I won't see you people when I come here in the morning, tell me honestly, what are you two doing?"

"Do you believe me when I said I went running?"

Li Yuan took off his soaked coat and threw it on the sofa, went to the bathroom to scrub, this time he remembered to bring in the clothes he wanted to change in advance.

When Li Yuan came out of the bathroom, Zhao Min had already explained the matter clearly.

Knowing that Zhao Min was going to live with Li Yuan, Shen Zhuyin hurriedly said: "How can this work, aren't you a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!"

"What do you say?"

Li Yuan was not happy, and while wiping his hair, he said: "It's not certain who is a sheep and who is a tiger." ”

"You say I'm a tigress, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" Zhao Min waved his fist at Li Yuan, and said to Shen Zhuyin: "He can surf the Internet here, or you can move over and let him live with you." ”

"That's a good idea!"

Shen Zhuyin clapped his hands and applauded. The reason why she runs to Li Yuan every day is because she can "surf the Internet for free" here.

Zhao Min asked Xu Xiaowen again, Xu Xiaowen didn't treat herself as an outsider like them, and smiled faintly and refused to express her opinion.

"That's it. ”

Zhao Min clapped his hands and said to Li Yuan: "You will move in the afternoon, you are not allowed to make excuses!"

"Why don't you ask me what I think?" Li Yuan said helplessly.

"The opinion is invalid!"

The two women said in unison.

……

After going downstairs for lunch, Xu Xiaowen rode home, and Li Yuan was escorted upstairs by two tough girls to move.

Li Yuan's things are not much, and it is very simple to pack them up.

Ma Nan had even fewer things, most of which he took to the online school, leaving behind some toiletries and clothes that he couldn't wear recently.

The real trouble is Shen Zhuyin's side, this girl has brought a lot of clothes just - for this reason, Qiao Ruonan also specially bought her a big wardrobe, not to mention the other bits and pieces, and the most terrible thing is that she also brought an upright piano!

Li Yuan looked at the piano, and then at the two girls who couldn't get up on the sofa as soon as they entered the house, and decisively began to call for rescue.

Call Ma Nan first, Ma Nan said that he knew, but he couldn't take out of class in the afternoon; then called Guo Hua and Pang Tao, one went to Jinmen with his father, and the other was helping in the supermarket; as for Huzi and others, Li Yuan didn't want them to meet the two girls at all.

All in all, none of them are reliable when employing people.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan finally sent a pager to Brother Wei, whom he had just met in the morning.

After a while, Brother Wei called, and as soon as Li Yuan told him about the situation, he immediately agreed.

Less than an hour later, Brother Wei came over with an apprentice, and at the same time brought a big burden, saying that Zhao Min's father helped her pack up the clothes.

There were no big objects except for the piano, and Brother Wei and his apprentices finished moving things in three strokes and dividing them by two, and they didn't even let Li Yuan help.

After moving things, Brother Wei said that he was leaving, and Li Yuanyuan sent him downstairs.

"I heard from the master, Xiao Min has been bothering you to take care of it recently......"

In front of Zhao Min, Brother Wei doesn't call him any senior sister, after all, he is also a man in his early thirties, and it is really difficult for him to call a little girl senior sister.

Regarding Brother Wei's request, Li Yuan naturally agreed.

Brother Wei said again: "The master asked me to bring you a message, if you can persuade her, persuade her more, it is a good thing that their mother and daughter recognize each other after all." ”

"No problem, I'm sure I'll persuade her. ”

Seeing that Brother Wei wanted to speak and stopped, Li Yuanyuan asked him what else was going on.

"I might be a bit nosy when I say this......" Brother Wei hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't think that woman is like a good person......"

"Why?" Li Yuan wondered.

"I don't know what you all talked about in the morning, but I can see that she was still smiling when she went out. I'm also a person with children, and I think if it were me, my daughter wouldn't recognize me, and I might be anxious, and I looked at her as if I didn't care at all......"

After being reminded by Brother Wei, Li Yuan also felt that something was wrong.

Think about it, if Lu Mei really cares about Zhao Min, after being kicked out by Zhao Baozheng in the morning, she should at least wait for Li Yuan outside, how can she just leave?

Not only that, but Zhao Baozheng said from beginning to end in the morning that Lu Mei had never asked about the details of her daughter's life over the years, which was also very unreasonable.

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Li Yuan thought like this, and told Brother Wei to pay more attention recently, and if Lu Mei went to Zhao Min's house again, he would tell himself in time if there was any abnormal behavior.

……

Li Yuan went upstairs with a full stomach of doubts, returned to his "new home", lay on the bed and thought about it, but he couldn't figure out the key.

Just then, the phone rang.

The call was from Wu Tsering, the editor-in-chief who hadn't contacted Li Yuan for a few days.

"I've finished reading the novel you wrote, I really can't imagine it, the novel is so well written......"

As soon as the phone was connected, Wu Tsering praised him, and he did not hide his excitement and joy at all.

Wu Ciren spoke incoherently for three minutes, but Li Yuan was stunned and didn't interject.

Li Yuan could understand his mood, and could even imagine him dancing with his hands, but he was not in the mood to listen to Wu Tsering's praise all the time, so he took advantage of the other party's panting to interrupt him and said, "Teacher Wu finished reading it so quickly?"

"Is this still fast?" Wu Ciren said: "I finished reading it the day you sent it to me, and I watched it several times in the past two days, and then I remembered to call you." ”

"Teacher Wu called, it wasn't just to praise me, right?"

"I have a couple of questions. ”

You say. ”

"You told me that you were going to write a science fiction novel, and to be honest, I was a little worried at the time, I didn't expect you to write such a work, it's really ......"

"It's not a problem, why are you praising it again, and you can hang up if you praise me again. Li Yuankou smiled like a flower.

"I don't vomit or be unhappy. Wu Tsering took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and said, "You said you were going to write a science fiction novel, but I think your novel has a bit of a Japanese mystery novel." ”

Sure enough, he is a connoisseur.

Wu Ciren only used one sentence to impress Li Yuan. I have to say that as a well-known literary editor in China, Wu Tsering's vision is very vicious, even if the novel has been recreated from the narrative language to the story background to the character plot, he can still see what is in his bones.

Of course, no matter how rich Wu Tsering's imagination is, he would never have imagined that this book was originally adapted from a Japanese novel.

Since Wu Ciren mentioned it, Li Yuan always has to give a reasonable explanation.

Li Yuan nodded and said, "This book is indeed greatly influenced by Japanese mystery novels. ”

"Are you sure you haven't borrowed it?" Wu Ciren took care of Li Yuan and did not directly say plagiarism.

"Nope. Li Yuan said categorically: "If we say that the idea of 'crossing' has indeed been adopted by many writers, but when it comes to my book, I can responsibly say that I wrote it." ”

Li Yuan said it rightly.

It is also true that, in addition to the creativity and the big frame, he almost recreates a novel.

"It's good if you don't have it. ”

Wu Ciren breathed a sigh of relief, as for what Li Yuan said about creativity or something, he didn't care. From ideas to works, there are a lot of personal things in between, and it's not that if you can write "crossing", I can't write it.

Of course, there were not many time-traveling novels in 98, and only two were widely known, namely Huang Yi's "Looking for Qin" and Xi Juan's "Love in Staggered Times".

No matter how you look at it, Li Yuan's "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" is completely different from these two works.

"The future is terrifying, think about when I was in junior high school, I had to bite the pen to write a prose......"

Wu Tsering felt a lot of emotion.

"Do you think there's anything wrong with the novel itself?"

Rather than complimenting, Li Yuan wanted to hear Wu Ciren talk about his views on the novel itself.

"It's not a big problem, if I have to say it, the number of words is a little more, and I personally think it would be better to reduce it to 200,000 words. ”

Wu Ciren expressed his opinion, and Li Yuan nodded again and again when he heard this.

The original translation is about 200,000 words, but Li Yuan's version has written more than 300,000 words, strictly speaking, it is a bit of a delay.

But this is also Li Yuan's intention, after all, he wants to mix private goods.

"Is it okay not to cut it?" asked Li Yuan.

"Of course you can, after all, you are the author, and the decision is up to you. ”

Wu Tsering said with a smile. He proposed it, of course, in the hope that Li Yuan could make further changes to the novel, but if Li Yuan didn't want to change it, he wouldn't force it.

To be honest, Wu Tsering felt that there were some flaws, after all, it was the work of middle school students.

……

Wu Ciren chatted with Li Yuan about the storyline for a while, asked him about his creative ideas, and completely put his mind at ease, so he said: "I showed your book to a few judges and friends, and the reviews are very good...... Mr. Shi Kaihe happened to be hurting, he liked it very much after reading it, and hoped that he would write the preface, what do you think?"

"Ah!" Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Shi is willing to make a preface?

Li Yuan has reason to be excited, after all, Mr. Shi is a grandmaster-level figure in the domestic literary circle, and being able to get him as a preface is equivalent to being recognized by the mainstream literary circle.

Hearing Li Yuan's excited shout, Wu Ciren sighed inexplicably, in fact, after reading the novel, he had the urge to write a preface, and even wrote thousands of words, but since Shi Kaihe had spoken, he naturally had nothing to do.

As for whether Li Yuan would refuse, Wu Tsering didn't think about it at all. Even if Li Yuan's head really entered the water and rejected Shi Kaihe, Wu Ciren would not agree, he knew Shi Kaihe's influence in the domestic literary world better than Li Yuan, and it is no exaggeration to say that even if there is no essay contest to pave the way, the three words of Shi Kaihe alone are enough to make Li Yuan's novels infinitely beautiful.

Thinking of this, Wu Tsering felt more and more regretful.

I knew that I wouldn't show it to Shi Kaihe, but now it's okay, and the opportunity to show my face in the preface is completely ruined.

……

After talking about the preface, Wu Ciren talked to Li Yuan about the publication and distribution.

"Have you decided which publisher to give the novel to?" Wu Tsering asked.

"Not yet, does Mr. Wu have any suggestions?"

"The collection of essays and the personal works of the contestants will be published by the writer's publishing house, which was agreed in the morning, but I didn't think that you would also publish a book. Wu Ciren paused for a moment and said: "There are other people who are going to publish books in this competition, and he has already contacted the writer's publishing house, and my suggestion is that you can consider other publishing houses......

"Other publishing houses?" Li Yuan could roughly guess who the other person Wu Ciren was talking about, but he didn't know why Wu Ciren asked him to choose other publishing houses.

"Publishing two books at the same time, publishers also have concerns, mainly because the current juvenile book market is uncertain, which involves the issue of trade-offs......

Wu Ciren was a little vague, but Li Yuan understood what he meant.

In the case of market uncertainty, the publisher will only release a work to test the waters, and how to choose between them?

Li Yuan had read "Jiugongge" in his previous life, and knew what the level of that novel made of famous sayings was, so it can be said that as long as the people in the publishing house are not stupid, they will definitely give priority to publishing Li Yuan's works.

In this way, wouldn't the other party lose a great opportunity?

Li Yuan doesn't want to be a villain in vain, since this is the case, it is better to give the opportunity to others.

"Okay, it's nothing more than a change of publishing house, it's not a big deal. Li Yuan is very confident and doesn't think that changing publishers will have much impact.

"If only you could understand. Wu Ciren breathed a sigh of relief, he really liked Li Yuan's novels, if Li Yuan didn't give up, he really didn't know where to sit on his ass.

Since Li Yuan agreed, Wu Ciren simply sold it: "I have some friends in the publishing industry, I'll help you ask when I go back, and you can wait for my call ...... for the specific situation."

"That's right. Li Yuan patted his head and said, "Teacher Wu is in Shanghai, can you help me inquire about someone?"

"Who?"

"A woman, named Lu Mei, is probably in her thirties, either selling books or printing books......"

Li Yuan briefly described Lu Mei's appearance, and as for why he asked about this person, he didn't say a word.

"Lu Mei, it sounds a little familiar, I'll go back and help you ask......"
