Chapter 157: Lace
Du Qiu has just returned to China, the jet lag has not been reversed, even the axis has been rotating for more than 40 hours, Rao is physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, and he can't stay up, he didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, went back to the hotel and took a bath happily, and then fell asleep with his head covered, and didn't wake up until more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Count the money until your hands cramp, and sleep until you wake up naturally......
That's the life I want......
After inking on the comfortable double bed for a few minutes, Du Qiu felt a little thirsty, so he got up, walked to the living room in his pajamas to find a drink, and found that Jiang Danfeng was playing poker with three people, one was Zhou Yuan, the other was Qin Weizhen, and there was an unknown woman, about 30 years old, wearing half-rimmed glasses, with an average appearance, a good temperament, thin and tranquil, and an amiable view.
"Hey, Du Qiu, are you awake?"
"I can meet you anywhere. Du Qiu raised his hand to signal them to continue playing, then unscrewed a bottle of pure water and asked, "What do you want me to do again?"
"Look at what you said, I can't come to help you?" Qin Weizhen explained with a smile while playing cards: "Your sister sent me over as a driver to pick you up to attend the appreciation banquet in the evening, she said that if you are a humanoid billboard and show your face in the past, the company's sales will increase by at least several million next year." ”
"What time is the evening?"
"Six o'clock. ”
The game ended quickly, and under Qin Weizhen's introduction, Du Qiu learned that the stranger's name was Dong Qiongyu, the editor of the Foreign Research Society, responsible for the revision and distribution of the Chinese version of "White Night Walking", she took out a manuscript from her bag and said very politely: "Mr. Du, this is a translation that has been reviewed for the second time, please correct it, if there are omissions and mistakes, I and Zhenzhen will go back and make corrections." ”
When Du Qiu took the manuscript, he found that Qin Weizhen was biting his lip and his face was full of nervousness, it was the first time he saw this nervous northern girl with such a look, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and deliberately said: "This book is translated by Qin Weizhen, and she is fully responsible, so I don't need to read it." ”
"Look, Sister Xiaoyu, I told you a long time ago, this guy is too lazy to die, and he doesn't need to show him the manuscript at all. ”
"Then if I have an opinion after reading it, don't say I'm harsh. Du Qiu stopped and said to Dong Qiongyu: "I've been a little busy lately, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to finish reading." ”
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry, Mr. Du will take his time. ”
Du Qiu handed the manuscript to Jiang Danfeng and asked her to help put it away, and then said to Qin Weizhen: "You sit down for a while, and I'll talk to Zhou Yuan about something." ”
"Wait a minute, do me another favor. Qin Weizhen picked up the satchel from the sofa, took out two CDs and a marker, and said with a hippie smile: "Great talent, come, sign your name." ”
"You still haven't paid the 5,000 signing fee you owed me before. ”
"I didn't bring any money today, I owe it first, and I will give it together next time. ”
Both CDs are singles, one is "The Action Plan of the Cruel Angels" sung by Yoko Takahashi, and the other is "I Have Thought About a Hundred Once" sung by Akina Nakamori, each CD has the singer's Japanese signature, which should have been obtained by Qin Weizhen through Aiko Komatsu.
Jiang Danfeng has often gone to Dongying to buy in the past two months, not only learned a lot of Japanese, but also knows the local fashion very well, and said in surprise: "This CD of Akina Nakamori was only released last week, and you actually have it?"
"Ming Cai specially asked someone to give it to me. Qin Weizhen looked like a fan girl who went to the soup for her idol, and said proudly: "This song is very popular, several singers want to sing it, if it weren't for my arguments and persuasion of Du Qiu, she might not be able to sing this song." ”
After "White Night Walking" was published in Dongying at the end of September, it sold more than 500,000 copies in a month, and there was a lot of praise from the critics, becoming a phenomenal bestseller.
"Pull it down, you're messing around, I have to agree for the sake of the purity of my ears. Du Qiu signed his name on the CD with a marker pen and asked, "How is this single selling?"
"Last week, the Oricon Konsin Chart ranked fourth, and this week it is estimated that it will be ranked first. Qin Weizhen solemnly put the CD in his satchel and said: "This song is quite consistent with Akina Nakamori's experience, it was reported by the media before it was released, and it was well received after the release, and many people thought that she would become popular again with this song." ”
Akina Nakamori is the most popular female singer in the 80s, a combination of idol and strength, has 21 singles and 13 albums on the first place on the Oricon public trust chart, in 1989 because of the emotional entanglement with the scumbag Kondo Masahiko, suicide attempt, since then popularity and career have fallen into a trough.
"Once I Thought About It" is a work created for Mika Nakajima after suffering an ear disease at the peak of her career, Hiroshi Akita wrote for her, and the artistic conception of pursuing hope in despair in the lyrics and songs does fit with Mori Akina's experience, so the singing is very infectious, and it is reasonable to become popular again.
After signing the CD, Du Qiu was about to go to chat with Zhou Yuan on business, but saw Dong Qiongyu take out another manuscript of "White Night Walking", and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Du, I like your book very much, can you sign it for me too?"
Since the Internet conference, Du Qiu's signature has been numb, and he has no choice, he threw the marker pen in his hand to Qin Weizhen, and said, "Yes, I'll go find a fountain pen." ”
"I've got it here. ”
The fountain pen that Dong Qiongyu took out of her bag was very exquisite, Du Qiu recognized the model at a glance, and immediately had a good impression of her, and said: "Montblanc great writer, the limited edition fountain pen that paid tribute to Agatha Christie in 1993, Editor Dong has good taste, you like to read reasoning?"
"Mr. Du is so knowledgeable. Dong Qiongyu said with a smile on her face: "I am a loyal reader of Agatha Christie, so I specially bought this fountain pen." ”
As a calligraphy enthusiast, Du Qiu collected dozens of fountain pens before the crossing, but unfortunately he was shy in his pocket, all of them were hundreds of yuan of mass goods, Montblanc could not afford this kind of luxury-grade fountain pen at all, and he could only watch the show-off posts of various local tyrants on the Internet, but he also saved a stomach of fountain pen collection knowledge.
In 1992, Montblanc launched a high-end limited edition fountain pen product line, called the Great Writer Series, a tribute to the world-famous writer, one is released every year, a tribute to Hemingway in 1992, a tribute to Agatha Christie in 1993, a tribute to Oscar Wilde in 1994, and a tribute to Voltaire in 1995, each of which is beautifully made and unique, among which the most popular tribute to Agatha Christie is highly collectible.
The most distinctive feature of this fountain pen is that there is a snake coiled on the cap, Dong Qiongyu's pen snake body is gilded, and the snake's eyes are inlaid with sapphires, which belongs to the high-end edition of the global limited edition of 4810, Du Qiu does not know how much it is worth in 1995, but he knows that if it is in good condition before the crossing, it can be sold for at least 20,000 yuan.
This Miss Dong seems to be a person with a story......
Seeing that she is very familiar with Qin Weizhen, it is estimated that she is also a second-generation official......
After Du Qiu played with the pen for a while, he decided to write a few more words to try his pen, so he turned the title page of the manuscript and asked, "What does Miss Dong want me to write?"
"Mr. Du, please feel free to write anything. ”
"Cut! Qin Weizhen was not angry on the side, and complained: "I ask you to sign it, you can scribble a few times and it's over, Sister Xiaoyu asked you to sign it, and you also specially wrote an inscription for her, Sister Danfeng, you can help me talk about him." ”
Qin Wei really doesn't have a high appearance, but his affinity is very high, his personality is hearty and free, everyone likes it, Jiang Danfeng is no exception, pulled her to whisper a few words, and then urged: "Du Qiu, hurry up and write, Zhou Yuan still has something to talk to you." ”
"Let me think about it, right away. ”
Du Qiu thought for a moment, and then wrote four lines of poetry in the blank space of the manuscript with the intention of Xingshu: the new poem of the frozen pen is lazy to write, and the cold furnace is warm when the wine is warm. Drunk to see the white moon of the ink flowers, I was suspicious of the snow in the front village.
"Hmph! The words are very beautiful, but it's a pity that the poems are written in a mess, how can there be six words......"
Qin Wei really complained and held back halfway through, because Du Qiu wrote another line below: On the day of the beginning of winter in the year of Yihai, record Li Bai's poem "Beginning of Winter", and wish Miss Dong Qiongyu a smooth work and a comfortable life.
"It's very well written, thank you Mr. Du. ”
