It is said that judging whether a person can have deep friendships, in addition to the first sight, what is more important is the mutual understanding in the process of getting along. Su Chenyu does not deny that he is a person who likes to determine people's "life and death" based on their first glance, but he prefers to judge a person by intersecting bits and pieces.

For the two editors-in-chief who published the book for themselves, Su Chenyu liked Liu Yu more when he came up, and felt that this was very ambitious and visionary, and there was no need for more nonsense to cooperate with such a person.

However, this kind of person is also a person who is proud to the core, and this kind of person prefers to impose his views on others, even when it comes to making friends. On the contrary, Zhong Cheng's personality is cautious, and he needs to think a lot about everything, especially when it comes to making friends, but once this kind of person identifies someone, he will definitely cherish it for the rest of his life.

Zhong Cheng came to Gucheng County for the third time this time, the first time he came to talk to Su Chenyu about publishing matters, and the second time he came to report to Su Chenyu on the gratifying sales of the two fairy tales. This is Zhong Cheng's third time coming to Gucheng County, there is no doubt that he is still here for Su Chenyu, and this time he came in a more hurry than the previous two times.

Until now, Zhong Cheng has been excited in his heart, of course, there is a reason why he is excited, the reason is the book in his bag.

When Zhong Cheng finished reading "Desire" for a short time, from the perspective of a senior editor, the book must have great publishing value. When he finished halfway through the book, he made up his mind that he would definitely take the publishing rights of the book. But when he finished reading the whole book of "Desire", he was not determined or undecided, but his heart was so excited that he simply packed up and immediately went straight to the ancient city.

Therefore, when Zhong Cheng came to Gucheng County, he really didn't expect that it would be so much colder than Jiangcheng, and he almost froze him to death.

After solving the problem of keeping out of the cold, Zhong Cheng went straight to Su Chenyu, and at noon after a snowfall, he finally successfully "captured" Su Chenyu in Su Zhenbang's gas station.

Through these few contacts, Zhong Cheng knew that Su Chenyu would definitely not go to school, and it was not possible to be at home, the only possibility was at this gas station that he knew, so he went straight to Su Zhenbang's gas station.

"Su Chenyu, Su Chenyu. Zhong Cheng was still far away from the gas station, so he shouted to Su Chenyu, who was lying on the table and writing.

Su Chenyu vaguely heard someone shouting to him, and quickly raised his head, he thought it was an old customer who came to buy oil, so he looked around. Su Zhenbang, who had just finished a business, also heard someone calling Su Chenyu, so he looked out the door, only to find that it was Editor Zhong.

Su Zhenbang said to Su Chenyu: "Xiaoyu, it's Editor Zhong." ”

Seeing Zhong Cheng coming, Su Chenyu knew what Zhong Cheng was doing when he came to him, so he said: "Dad, he is already a director, not an ordinary editor." ”

Some time ago, Zhong Cheng was just promoted to the deputy director of the editorial department in the publishing house because of the reason for successfully digging Su Chenyu, and now he is highly valued by the president. Therefore, Zhong Cheng greatly thanked Su Chenyu in his heart at that time, and even cited him as his "lucky star".

Zhong Cheng walked into the house and shook hands with Su Zhenbang and said, "Hello Comrade Su, I'm here to disturb you again." ”

"Editor Zhong, Ao, no, it's Director Zhong, and when you say this, you'll see the outside. Su Zhenbang said with a smile: "Our Xiaoyu's book is thanks to you." ”

Zhong Cheng hurriedly responded with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't say that, don't say that." ”

"Director Zhong, you talk to Xiaoyu first, I'll go get some food, let's go home at noon and have a good drink." Su Zhenbang knew that Zhong Cheng must have something to talk to Su Chenyu, so he said to Zhong Cheng.

"Don't be so troublesome, don't be so troublesome. Zhong Cheng hurriedly said to Su Zhenbang: "This is too embarrassing. ”

"It's okay, you guys talk first. ”

After Su Zhenbang finished speaking, he left.

gave Zhong Cheng a seat, and Su Chenyu sat on the chair next to him and said to him: "Old Zhong, this time you are here to talk about "Desire", right?"

"Yes, I don't hide it, this time, I must get the publishing rights of this book. Zhong Cheng didn't hide it either, and said bluntly.

"Cool, but we're going to change it this time. Su Chenyu said unhurriedly: "I still pay the remuneration with royalties, but this time the royalty rate is not 12% last time, but 15%. ”

"Xiaoyu, we are also old acquaintances, this is a bit unauthentic. Zhong Cheng was anxious when he heard Su Chenyu's words, and hurriedly said: "This 15% is too high." ”

"But you should also see the value of this book, both in terms of political and social impact, and in terms of economy. Su Chenyu didn't pay attention to Zhong Cheng's anxiety, and said slowly: "If you think it's high, then I can only find other publishing houses." You know, I was cheap for you for the sake of our old acquaintances, and juvenile literature and art are not suitable for this genre, so can it be your turn?"

After Zhong Cheng listened to Su Chenyu's words, he fell into thought. Su Chenyu didn't disturb Zhong Cheng's thinking, but clasped his fingers to himself.

After about a cigarette, Zhong Cheng said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, that's it." ”

"Okay, refreshing. Su Chenyu said: "Lao Zhong, your publishing house is definitely on fire this time, and this book will cause a huge sensation and repercussions across the country." ”

"Then I'll lend you good words. Zhong Cheng smiled bitterly, he knew that he must have been "pitted" by Su Chenyu at this moment, but who told him to be voluntary.

"By the way, tell me about the release of that book. Zhong Cheng continued: "The Wanderings of Xiaobei and The Little Master of China have sold a total of nearly 500,000 copies so far, and among them, The Little Master of China has received a particularly strong response, and the society has commented that it is an excellent children's book to promote classical Chinese culture. ”

Zhong Cheng said as he took out a check from his jacket pocket and handed it to Su Chenyu and said, "You have already received the first royalty, this time it is the second royalty." ”

Su Chenyu took a look at the numbers and put the check away, and then suddenly remembered something, so he said to Zhong Cheng: "Old Zhong, I don't know if your publishing house dares to publish a novel here?"

"There's a new novel? Zhong Cheng suddenly got up from his chair and said eagerly.

Su Chenyu took out a bound book from the drawer of the table next to him, on which were written two big characters - "Bright Sword". Yes, "Bright Sword" has been written, and this new "Bright Sword" that combines the original book and the TV series has finally been released.

Su Chenyu originally planned to show Liu Yu this book, but Su Chenyu was very disappointed in him last time, so he handed it over to Zhong Cheng, the "leak picker", now.

"It's an attractive name, I'll take a look at it first. Zhong Cheng said with the book.

"You see if your publishing house dares to publish it, and if you can, this book will also be handed over to you for publication, under the same conditions as "Desire". After Su Chenyu finished speaking, he didn't bother Zhong Cheng anymore.

It happened that business came to the door, and Su Chenyu went to measure the oil for the guests, so he didn't care about Zhong Cheng anymore. But when Su Chenyu came back, he was surprised to see that Zhong Cheng's eyes were actually moist, and there were tears on his face, as if tears had just flowed.

"Old Zhong, old Zhong, are you okay?" Su Chenyu patted Zhong Cheng lightly in surprise and said cautiously.

Zhong Cheng didn't seem to feel it, he was still flipping through the book, Su Chenyu thought he was stunned, and quickly hit Zhong Cheng hard. At this moment, Zhong Cheng woke up suddenly, and then looked at Su Chenyu, but ignored him, but continued to read.

Su Chenyu knew Zhong Cheng's situation, he was completely brought in by the plot in the book, so Su Chenyu didn't care about him anymore.

At this moment, Su Zhenbang walked in from outside the door and said, "Xiaoyu, where is Director Zhong?"

"There. Su Chenyu gestured to Su Zhenbang with his eyes.

Obviously, Su Zhenbang also discovered Zhong Cheng's abnormality, so he asked Su Chenyu, "What's wrong with Director Zhong?"

"It's good to read the novel. Su Chenyu said.

"What novel can make people like this?" asked Su Zhenbang in disbelief, "You wrote it new?"

"yes, a book about soldiers. ”

"A soldier's book?" Su Zhenbang asked: "Then I'll have to take a look at it later, and see if your kid has smeared our soldiers." ”

"Absolutely not, that's guaranteed. Only then did Su Chenyu suddenly remember that Su Zhenbang turned out to be a soldier who had participated in the war, and now his military complex is still there.

"Then I'm ......"

Su Zhenbang was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Zhong Cheng's shout: "Good book, good book, thrilling, heart-wrenching, shocking." ”

Seeing Zhong Cheng's excited appearance, Su Chenyu hurriedly asked with concern, "Old Zhong, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that this book is so good, so good, so good. ”

Zhong Cheng used three "great" in a row to express his inner feelings.

"What about the conditions I proposed?" Su Chenyu looked at Zhong Cheng's excited appearance, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot.

"No problem at all. Zhong Cheng replied without thinking about it.

However, after a while, he seemed to be relieved, and said with some embarrassment: "The book is definitely a good book, but many of the plot allusions and some of the old generals and leaders mentioned in it are still alive, and if it is published, there will be some difficulties." I can't do anything about this, so I have to go back and discuss it with our president. ”

"No problem, I'm not in a hurry. Su Chenyu knew that this would definitely be the result, and he was not disappointed.

Su Zhenbang suddenly asked Zhong Cheng, "Director Zhong, when will you go back?"

"The day after tomorrow, is there something wrong with you?" Zhong Cheng didn't know what Su Zhenbang meant, so he asked.

Su Zhenbang took his eyes off the book with difficulty, and then said to Zhong Cheng: "I want to read it first and then you can take it." ”

"No problem, I'm going to be busy with the book "Desire" when I go back, I don't have much time for the time being, you can watch it first. Just send it to me when the time comes. After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Cheng said to Su Zhenbang with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Zhong. Su Zhenbang said very gratefully, although he had only read a few chapters just now, he was completely attracted by the book.

Zhong Cheng didn't stay long in the ancient city, and rushed back the next day, and he had already decided to listen to Su Chenyu's advice - the sixth day of the Lunar New Year after the Chinese New Year was released nationwide "Desire".

Su Zhenbang left "Bright Sword", and the book spread in the Su family - not only Su Zhenbang was reading it, but after he finished reading it, Su Zhongping and Ye Yunxiu immediately took over to read it.

For the book "Bright Sword", the two men (or three men) of the Su family who have been soldiers and on the battlefield gave a four-word evaluation of "singing and crying".

And Ye Yunxiu even babbled out a sentence - "At that time, the real battlefield was much more cruel than in the book, and Li Yunlong was a bit of a 'king madman'." ”

Of course, Su Chenyu knew who Ye Yunxiu was talking about as "Wang Madman", and when he watched "Bright Sword" in his previous life, he also went to the Internet to repeatedly find Li Yunlong's original form. The final result is that the deeds of Li Yunlong's character are a combination of several Republic generals, including the famous "King Crazy" general, so he will no longer pursue it.

However, Su Chenyu couldn't figure out how Ye Yunxiu could see the original form of this after just looking at it once.

Su Chenyu couldn't help but be interested in himself, the ancestor who had always been mysterious, what kind of person was this and what kind of past did he have?
