Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The great victory of the comeback battle of "Craftsman Record" once again showed Gu Yongsheng's incomparable popularity, and the publication of "Journey to the West" once again proved the countless possibilities of Gu Yongsheng's creation.
"He was already ahead of us when he wrote martial arts, and when all of us were determined to take him as the goal, he turned his pen and began to write myths again, and then we realized that he was still a master of reasoning and fairy tales. ”
When Broken Knife finished reading the serialization of "Journey to the West", he commented on the microblog, mentioning the almost all-powerful Gu Yongsheng, and his tone was both admiring and helpless.
"For Gu Yongsheng, of course, we can't be opponents, but I'm afraid that we are not even qualified as challengers. ”
Beicheng Hotel, the celebration party of "Craftsman Record", all the editors gathered.
"In the past, I thought that the most atmospheric place for everyone to gather was in the hot pot city, but then I gradually realized that it was necessary to come to such a high-end place. ”
After everyone sat down, Liu Jingting explained the reason for choosing Beicheng.
Xu Qing asked: "Then why did you choose Beicheng? There are many high-end hotels near the office." ”
"I came here to talk about things with Xingyue TV before, and I feel that the food is not bad, and the environment is relatively good, quiet, suitable for everyone to chat. ”
Xu Qing smiled and didn't continue.
Liu Jingting confessed: "Okay, I admit it, I have a membership card here. ”
Everyone.
At this time, two waiters in red uniforms entered the private room, and the two first glanced at everyone present, and then the slightly thinner waiter quoted the price limit of the private room with an expressionless face.
As soon as the thin waiter's words fell, Yang Lilu, Kang Lingyue and others frowned, and Yang Lilu said in a low voice: "The attitude is so bad." ”
Liu Jingting was slightly stunned, then turned his head and said, "Excuse me, can you change two waiters?"
The two waiters were taken aback. They have seen customers who express dissatisfaction, but they have never seen such a frank one, and the thin waiter said businessmanlikely: "The work of every staff member in our hotel is arranged, and there is no way to change it, if you are not satisfied with our service." You can appeal to your manager. ”
Not humble or arrogant, polite and courteous, fully demonstrates the simplicity and bearing of a five-star hotel.
Xu Qing answered at this time: "Then let's order." As he spoke, he shook his head at Liu Jingting.
Liu Jingting smiled silently and gave up his intention to continue the investigation.
Another slightly chubby waiter handed a white tablet to Xu Qing and asked casually, "Excuse me, do you have a membership card?"
Xu Qing looked at Liu Jingting: "What about your membership card?"
Liu Jingting took out his wallet from his pocket. Then he pulled out a black membership card, the front of the card said Beicheng Hotel, and below it was a large golden diamond.
When the two waiters saw the membership card, their faces changed slightly, there was a faint panic in their eyes, and the thin waiter's voice trembled slightly and asked, "What do you call me, sir?"
His name was ......, and he was about to answer." Liu Jingting hurriedly interrupted: "Let's order." ”
"Okay. The two waiters glanced at Xu Qing with a hesitant look on their faces.
Seeing this, Xu Qing smiled and handed the tablet to Liu Jingting, who hurriedly stopped: "Aunt Qing, hurry up." ”
Xu Qing glanced at the two waiters with an expression of "I have to do this", and then continued to order, and the two waiters looked even more uncomfortable.
Xu Qing asked everyone's opinions while reporting the name of the dish, and skillfully operated the tablet ten minutes later. After ordering, Xu Qing handed the tablet to the fat waiter, who took the tablet and said politely, "Okay, please wait a moment." ”
Then the two waiters exited the private room and gently closed the door.
"This is too dog-eyed to look down on people!" Chang Youdao said first.
Xu Qing said: "This is angry, since we choose this kind of place to eat, we should be prepared, because the reality is like this." Didn't Xue Muliang write about one of his own experiences, he went to buy shoes of a certain brand. I asked, how to wash the shoes in the future, but the salesman directly told her that if you need to wash it, don't buy it. Because people's shoes are not worn in dusty places. ”
"We're small editors. Kang Lingyue said, then turned her head to look at Liu Jingting: "Hey, local tyrant, why don't you speak?"
"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing," Liu Jingting said casually: "Because the inconsequential actions or words of inconsequential people affect the mood, it's not worth it, I'll just pass it." ”
"Of course you can do that, you take a nationwide black card and scare people into calf cramps, you don't care. Xu Qing hit the nail on the head.
"Aunt Qing, I'm going to defend myself, it's really not what you said, if it wasn't for seeing Ling Yue and the half-immortal unhappy just now, I would have kept shut, this has nothing to do with what card it is, from each other's point of view, everyone is a trick in each other's eyes, it doesn't matter at all, so it doesn't matter at all. ”
"Okay, you're at a high level. Xu Qing spread her hands.
Everyone was chatting, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, Liu Jingting was surprised: "Served the food?" and then turned his head and responded: "Please come in." ”
A short and fat man in a suit and leather shoes pushed the door in, and when he saw Liu Jingting, he first criticized himself: "I didn't know that Mr. Liu came over today, and he was lazy." ”
Liu Jingting suddenly felt that he had chosen the wrong place, and then he had a hard time greeting the fat manager, the fat manager obviously knew this, whether it was self-introduction or compliments, all the points were stopped, and the other party would never feel uncomfortable.
Before leaving, the fat manager politely gave every customer present a personal business card, and finally left a sentence of "the food is good immediately" to open the door and leave the house.
As the fat manager said, not long after he left, he really started to serve food, and another superiority of the black card was confirmed.
Because everyone has just come into contact with each other and is not particularly familiar with each other, the atmosphere at the celebration party cannot be very warm, but there are cold jokes Wang Liu Jingting and the well-informed Xu Qing, and it will not be cold, in general, it is relatively stable.
Of course, this is before drinking.
Half an hour later, a bottle of red wine bottomed out, and Qingjiao and Xiao Qingyu, who had been quiet, began to speak.
The topic of jumping finally fell on the core character Liu Jingting, and everyone was unanimously curious about when the sequel to "Shooting the Condor" would come out, and Liu Jingting replied truthfully: "After "Journey to the West". ”
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is of course followed by "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liu Jingting didn't think about serializing it in three magazines. But he quickly thought of another problem, "The Condor" is not an ordinary book, and the unusual here is not to say that it is the title of "love Bible", but the problem of Yin Zhiping, which is predictable, has caused an uproar, and will inevitably lead to a rebellion among book lovers again.
Now I want to make a TV series and participate in the World Reasoning Competition. Liu Jingting really didn't want to burden people.
……
After eating, Xu Qing took the initiative to ask Liu Jingting to send her back to her residence, and the "I have something to tell him alone" written on her face dispelled the idea of someone else replacing Liu Jingting.
Liu Jingting thought it was a matter of the magazine, but it wasn't until he got into the taxi that he realized that he was very wrong.
"That night at Weiming Lake, I saw it all. Xu Qing got straight to the point. "To say, the two of you really cooperate tacitly, if I am short-sighted, I will really be bluffed by you. ”
Liu Jingting smiled awkwardly and was speechless.
"Don't just giggle, what the hell are you thinking?"
"Huh?"
Xu Qing glanced at Liu Jingting. said: "Don't pretend to be confused with me, I told you the first time I saw you, I must ask, especially after observing it for so long, I have to take care of it even more." ”
Liu Jingting felt his head big and said, "I really don't know very well. ”
Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "It's not an excuse to not know, since you did that to Lulu that night." You can't continue to be unclear, or you're irresponsible. ”
Liu Jingting smiled bitterly: "I have already apologized to her, and she ......"
"Nonsense!" Xu Qing said with a straight face: "What do you want her to do?" Liu Jingting, I warn you, I don't care how big a writer you are, how powerful an independent director you are, you want to play two boats to find others, and you want to bully Lulu, I can't agree to it anyway. ”
"Pedal two boats?" Liu Jingting was stunned, and then struggled to phrase it. In the end, he was speechless.
Are you really stepping on two boats?
Xu Qing shook her head and said, "This is a common problem for you men, especially a writer like you who became famous at a young age, and I can't wait for all the girls in the world to surround me." ”
Liu Jingting still shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"The first time I met you, I asked you if you loved that girl in America? You're just grateful to her and feel like you have to like her?"
Xu Qing had obviously done her homework and gathered some information.
Liu Jingting was silent for a while, and replied: "Aunt Qing, you don't know my situation, I can't explain it clearly for a while, or rather, I can't explain it at all, if you insist on wanting an answer, I can only say that I really haven't thought about the question of whether I love someone or not now." ”
"So, you just don't love?"
Liu Jingting turned his head to look out the window, and said after a while, "Aunt Qing, I can't tell you the most exact answer right now." ”
"When is that possible?"
Liu Jingting sighed and said, "After I determine the answer to a question." ”
"When was that?"
"As much as possible. ”
"Exact time!"
"Before December. ”
"Good. ”
Taxi happens to get to the place.
"Xiaoyanagi, don't blame me for being aggressive, it's a good thing for you to figure out this kind of thing early. ”
After getting out of the car, Xu Qing's attitude changed: "If I were Lulu or that Mihu, I would ask you these words in person." ”
"Aunt Qing, I know. ”
"Well, emotional matters are the most taboo to procrastinate, and pay attention to cutting through the mess quickly. ”
……
For half a month, Liu Jingting did not contact Hu Xiaomi, and kept enough distance from Yang Lilu, and no longer laughed casually like in the past.
Others thought it was because he was too busy, so he didn't care, but Yang Lilu noticed it, but she couldn't ask the reason anyway, because from a certain point of view, the current way of getting along is the state she had been explaining to Liu Jingting before.
Serious, polite, and distancing - the so-called ordinary friend.
Yiqiē did what he asked, but instead of being happy at all, he became irritable and irritable, especially when he said "thank you", "please", and "trouble" to himself, he really wanted to kick him a few times.
What's going on?
Yang Lilu was embarrassed to ask Lin Xun, who was thinking about the performance every day, so she had to muster up the courage to ask her aunt, but her aunt said in a foggy way: "I'll know in a few days." ”
Yang Lilu became more and more confused, and even almost forgot about Jì's upcoming birthday.
……
On November 16, Yang Lilu was 17th birthday.
The roommates held a small birthday party for her at 5O1, and sent a lot of handsome and high-quality boys, who behaved decently and talked elegantly, surrounded Yang Lilu in the center, blew out candles, and made wishes.
During the whole process, Liu Jingting never stepped forward, kept drinking, pulled Xu Yuan to drink for a while, pulled Chang Youdao to drink for a while, and drank with Dai Anqiao, but Dai Anqiao's alcohol was too weak, and he fell down after half a glass.
In the end, it was Xu Qing who followed him.
After Liu Jingting and Xu Qing finished touching three glasses, he suddenly picked up a fork and knocked on the wine glass.
The crisp sound of "Dangdangdang" quickly covered up the noise of the scene, and everyone stopped speaking and turned their eyes to Liu Jingting.
Knocking on the cup indicates a congratulatory message.
Liu Jingting didn't want to say a congratulatory speech, but asked a question: "Yang Lilu, today is your birthday, I happen to have a question for you, I want to ask you, if one day you can't write novels and I am no longer a best-selling author, are you still willing to continue to be friends with me?"
Everyone was stunned by this question, but when they saw Liu Jingting's drunken face, they were immediately relieved.
It turned out that I drank too much.
Everyone laughed, some even coaxed, only a few boys had unhappy looks on their faces.
Yang Lilu didn't laugh or be displeased, but looked at Liu Jingting with a serious face, and then the corners of her mouth slowly lit up a smile, and said in a firm tone: "If one day your writing skills disappear, I will teach you English translation, and you will obediently be my translation assistant." ”
……
Liu Jingting knew a lot of people because of his writing, but he remembered that he met Yang Lilu at an English speech contest, at that time, Yang Lilu came over to sue him that he stole her limelight, and she would snatch it back in the future.
