Chapter 9: Twilight
David said, "0K! can you read it?" He was wondering if this kid had written a piece of, and enduring a bad book was the same as enduring a piece of.
Sophia said: "Of course, Mark's writing is very beautiful and delicate, and we don't seem to know him. ”
Mark hurriedly said: "I can only write good things when I am inspired and inspired, and many times I can't think of anything after thinking about it for a long time, David, I'll help you wash the dishes!"
"Mark, I want you to go to the park with me!" Kayla rushed in.
"The premise is that you have to finish your homework," Mark said. ”
Kayla said: "It's done a long time ago, you think I'm you, hide in the room all day long, and don't play with me anymore." ”
David said, "Mark, you take your sister to the park to play for a while, remember to come back before seven o'clock." ”
Kayla immediately pulled Mark Xingchong and walked out, the villa area where they lived, the green area is quite large, there are green trees everywhere, there is a park and sports field in the community center, many people walk and do sports here, in fact, Mark is also a sports fan, he loves exercise and martial arts, and the martial arts he learned is Tan Leg.
This is because his uncle opened a martial arts training class, he has been practicing since he was a child, Mark often doesn't know anything about reading, but he is quite talented in martial arts, he is the best in several old watches, and he has developed a strong muscle and physique, this Mark has a relatively simple mind, just wants to take the police exam, but he can't pass the exam, and there is no way, he can't get along in the countryside, so he has to go to his own son.
These days, he was busy plagiarizing and didn't have much time to practice, but now that he was outside, he was free again, and he saw Kayla playing games with a group of children, and couldn't help but practice again.
It is said that the Tan leg comes from SD Longtan Temple, and the Tan leg makes full use of the characteristics of the leg length and strength, and pays attention to the "fist three legs seven" and "the fist is two doors, all by the leg to beat people".
Tan leg routine is simple and neat, symmetrical left and right, coherent, in terms of offensive and defensive techniques, it strongly highlights the characteristics of the northern leg faction, the leg method is changeable, the loop turns and retreats smoothly, and the drill requires the hand, eye, body method, and step coordination, and it is necessary to integrate internal and external skills in one. The ten-way kicking method, short and concise, simple and bright, simple and easy to learn, suitable for all ages, is the best exercise method to strengthen the body and move the muscles and bones.
Tan leg is also called Tan leg, divided into Linxi Tan leg, Jingwu Tan leg, Shaolin Tan leg, Jiaomen bullet leg, etc., the general style is very close, all follow the principle of "leg but not knee", Mark They belong to Jingwu Tan leg, because there are twelve roads, also called twelve road Tan legs.
Mark has always just practiced Tan legs, has been practiced perfectly, superb, what is more rare is that after actual combat drills, they live at the junction of Jiangxi and Guangdong, because the local is located on the border of the two provinces, smuggling and drug trafficking are rampant, Mark They often participate in the security team, the joint defense team's anti-smuggling and anti-drug operations, to help supplement the family, so after actual combat training, Mark's 12-way Tan leg is powerful, and it is definitely not a fancy show.
However, Mark only practiced halfway through, and regretted it, because as soon as he started practicing, there were many onlookers and loud applause, obviously treating him as a monkey, including the hoop tooth girl Blake, who was wearing a tracksuit, holding a racket, sweating profusely, and a handsome and tall boy standing next to him, also holding a badminton racket, obviously they had just finished badminton.
Blake was a little frightened, and flashed behind the tall boy, and the boy saw Mark pass by them, and the boy asked, "Man, are you using this exercise for performance or actual combat?"
Mark had a good impression of this tall and handsome boy with outstanding demeanor and extraordinary appearance, and said: "All Chinese kung fu is mainly based on physical fitness. ”
The boy said, "I can understand it as a performance?"
"I don't care what you think, it's a sport that aims to make people healthier," Mark said. ”
The boy said, "My name is Mason, and I've practiced free fighting, so we can have a try." ”
Mark only glanced at the other party, and then lost interest, he never did anything like punching the kindergarten or kicking the old people's home, and said, "My sister is playing?" After speaking, he walked to Kayla, who was having a good time, picked her up, and said, "The game is over, my Royal Highness the princess." He lifted Kayla directly above her head and sat her on her neck.
It's a game they play a lot, Kayla giggles, and she says to her little ones, "This is my brother Mark, and he's a really amazing cowboy." ”
Mark saw the boy Mason holding Blake's shoulders and waving defiantly at him.
Kayla said, "Mark, I don't like that guy, can you beat him up?"
Mark said: "My Royal Highness Princess, you are a lady, you can't shout and kill at every turn, be reserved, be reserved." ”
Kayla rolled her eyes and said, "You're this coward, he's provoking you, you should beat him up and let him know who's the boss!"
Mark patted her pink ass and said, "You're the boss, but it's that guy's luck today, we're going to go home for dinner, and the next time we see him, we must beat him up and let him know who the boss is." ”
Kayla said happily, "0k, Brother Mark is the best for me." ”
After they went back to eat, Mark rushed to wash the dishes and dishes as usual, and Donald shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sophie, it's not that I don't want to wash, it's that my movements are always not fast enough for Mark." ”
Sophie said, "You can still mop the floor." ”
Donald said, "This guy Mark is cleaner in just three minutes than I dragged in ten minutes." ”
Mark said: "No problem, I have all these chores covered." "He's a slow brain, he's not smart, but he's quick-witted, and that's why Sophie likes him so much.
When Mark finished his chores, Sophie let him into the study, and she said straight to the point, "You wrote the twilight?"
Mark cautiously profound: "Have you seen or heard of it somewhere else?"
Sophia shook her head and said, "No, this is incredible, how did you write such a delicate book? Or is it a love fantasy, you don't have a girlfriend, you haven't been in love, how did you do it?
David stared at him and asked, "Did you copy or buy it from somewhere else?"
Mark shook his head in denial and said, "I wrote it." "He's holding on to it.
David said: "Even if you get it through other channels, there is no problem, the key is that there can be no follow-up trouble, you can be my lawyer, we are a community of interests, you can talk to me if you have anything." ”
Mark said: "I wrote the ExceL2003 document, and there is a detailed code word record here, and I have not been busy in vain in the past half a month. ”
David asked Sophia, "What do you think of Mark's writing?"
Sophia said: "The "Romeo and Juliet"-style life and death, the "Pride and Prejudice" style of elegance and sarcasm, the "Wuthering Heights" style of entanglement and conflict are presented in front of you in a very easy way, and the lingering tragedy hidden under the veil of love is as simple and desolate as the ancient Greek drama, wow! This is a masterpiece! How did you do it?"
David was also very surprised, and said, "Sophie, it is not necessarily for his good to praise the child like this. ”
Sophia smiled and said, "David, you will be proud of Mark, this kid is silent, but he is very talented, and his literary skills are good, he was just unable to integrate here and everyone for a while, and now he has succeeded." ”
Suppressed surprise and excitement, Mark said, "I don't have to go to sixth grade?"
Sophia said: "With the level of this book, you are qualified to go to the liberal arts class of Harvard University, but your foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry is too poor, and the problem of partial subjects is serious, but what does it matter? Give full play to your personal strengths and specialties and do things to the best is the most correct way, Hawking is not a decathlon." ”
Mark waved his fist excitedly and cheered: "Yes!"
Sophia said, "My dear, I am proud of you. ”
Mark said, "Can it be published? Oh, I mean you know anyone from the publishing house? Forget it, I'm going to submit it tomorrow after the copy, and if I ask you to help, it's like cheating." "It's a fake, he's cheating from start to finish.
"If you had known that Bertelsmann Group is a partner of our bank, you wouldn't have said that," says Sophia. ”
David saw that Mark was a little dazed and explained: "The Bertelsmann Group has a history of 160 years and is Fortune The world's top 500 enterprises, is the world's leading media and service group, Bertelsmann in more than 50 countries and regions in the world to carry out television, books, magazines, services, and media clubs and other businesses, and their group of Random House Group, is the world's largest popular book publishing group, is a cultural and commercial achievements have made great achievements, full of creativity and vitality of the company, Random House publishes more than 10,000 new books every year, including hardcover, paperback and e-books, etc., involving 17 countries and regions in different languages, selling more than 500 million books every year, Peter of Random House GroupWilson is a long-time client of Sophie, do you think it would be difficult to publish a book?"
Mark said, "Wow! I'm like I'm going through the back door." ”
Sophia said: "You are making reasonable use of the resources we have, whether the novel is a big hit or not, in the end you must rely on your own ability, tomorrow I will arrange for you to meet Peter, success or not depends on yourself, if Peter can't look at it, I can't help it." ”
Mark was a little excited, this is equivalent to an imminent success, a company that publishes tens of thousands of books every year, and the chairman of the group is alarmed, will he refuse to publish this book? This is not afraid of offending the cooperative banking group? He said: "Sophie, thank you!"
Sophia said: "Now all I have to do is read this book in one sitting, and no one can disturb me." She suddenly said to Mark, "You have a girlfriend, right?"
Mark was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
Sophia said, "Your homework is a girl's handwriting. ”
