The weather on the seventh day of the first month is still very cold, under the sun, you can see the snow turning into fine white crystal powder fluttering, not far away, Liu Qianqian, who is wearing a down coat, waved her arms vigorously at him, and her delicate melon seed face is full of excitement.

"This momentum has to compete with poetry. Jiang Wei smiled secretly, walked over, and greeted, "Yo, long time no see, Happy New Year." ”

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't say hello when I came back from the capital to Jinling last time, I don't have a conscience, I'm proud when I return to my hometown, right? Liu Qianqian wrinkled her nose and hummed.

"I was in a bit of a hurry last time, so please understand. Jiang Li said embarrassedly.

"Hey...... But I'm kidding you, why do you explain so seriously, okay, okay, let's go, don't make my dad wait for a long time!" Liu Qianqian took Jiang Li's hand and ran towards a car parked outside the train station.

There was no delay on the way, and I went straight to Sun Shangde's house, which took about half an hour to arrive, which was an old residential area of some years, and the accommodation conditions were relatively poor.

"Uncle Liu, isn't it good to only buy fruits, after all, it's the first month. Jiang Li, who was carrying two large bags of fresh fruits, hesitated.

Liu Qingyi waved his hand and said confidently: "Listen to me, Sun Shangde has always emulated the ancient celebrities, treating money as dung, if you buy a bunch of valuable things to see him, he doesn't like it, thinking that you underestimate his character and insult him with worldly things such as money." ”

Sure enough, Sun Shangde opened the door, first glanced at the two bags of fruit, and then saw Jiang Li himself respectfully stepping forward to salute, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"It turned out to be Tsing Yi and Jiang Li, please come in. Sun Shangde said lightly.

"Grandpa Sun, have you forgotten something? And me!" Liu Qianqian stepped into the house first, dissatisfied.

Sun Shangde smiled and shouted into the kitchen: "Ah Zhi, entertain Liu girl." ”

"Come and visit, you must stay for dinner today. A kind woman walked out, and Jiang Li and the three of them had already entered the study first, and Liu Qianqian did not bother the conversation of the "big man" with interest.

Although Sun Shangde has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, his temples are gray, but he is extremely energetic, his eyes are like torches, his thinking is clear, and he is very talkative.

The three of them chatted for a long time, just like an athlete's warm-up before starting, and then got back to business, Jiang Li explained his intentions eloquently, and his attitude was respectful and sincere, which made Sun Shangde very useful, nodding frequently, his eyes were quite approving, Liu Qingyi smiled silently on the side, and watched the changes.

"I am so respectful to the winner of the Best Newcomer Award for my infinite future, if I refuse, I will be a little ignorant, I can agree to become a music teacher of Asuka Records, but there are two requirements. Sun Shangde was also straightforward and straightforward.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Old Sun is serious, please speak." ”

"First, my temper is not very good, if I see anyone who is unhappy, I will not teach directly, if none of them are happy, I will leave directly, how?" Sun Shangde said with slanted eyes.

"Of course, but according to Sun Lao's personal wishes, I just hope that Sun Lao can consider giving them one or two chances to mend their ways. Jiang Li tactfully persuaded.

"Since you've said so, that's fine, but at most once, if it doesn't meet my requirements, I'll give up. Sun Shangde continued, "Second, I want you to help persuade a person to tell me about your successes. ”

Jiang Li was slightly stunned, what is the situation, let's listen to it, and said, "I don't know who the person Sun Lao is talking about?"

"Alas, it's not my uncompetitive son Sun Simiao, who is already in his twenties, and he knows all day long that he stays at home and paints, and he can't achieve anything, it's really angry with me, if you can persuade him to get out of that room and find a serious job, even if it's a street sweeper, I'll go with you immediately, and I'll be a teacher for you for free. ”

Jiang Li groaned slightly, if he really listened to Sun Shangde's words, it would probably be counterproductive to use his successful deeds to stimulate Sun Simiao, but there may be a drama.

"Elder Sun, I can give it a try, but there is no guarantee of success. ”

"Well, it's up to you. Sun Shangde got up a little excitedly, as if he saw hope, and the hearts of parents in the world were the same.

The three of them walked out of the study together and came to a closed door, Liu Qianqian ran over curiously, pulled Jiang Li and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Sun asked me to help persuade his son to go out to work. ”

"Oh, yes, I really can't stay at home all the time, but once I saw a picture drawn by the other party, which was actually quite good, it was a comic. ”

Jiang was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to be really right, and he couldn't help but feel a little more sure, at this time, Sun Shangde opened the door with the key, and he said: "Old Sun, let me go in alone, and no matter what you hear, please don't come in." ”

Sun Shangde glanced at Jiang Li deeply, nodded, he walked in slowly, and closed the door at the same time, the room was dimly lit, only a lamp was lit on the desk in front of the window with heavy curtains, and a raunchy man was busy there.

Suddenly, the other party snorted dissatisfiedly, crumpled a piece of manuscript paper he had just drawn into a ball, and threw it backwards, almost hitting Jiang Li, and there were many such paper balls on the bed.

"How many times have I been told, don't come in while I'm drawing, get out!"

"That's how you treat your parents? It's an eye-opener. ”

Sun Simiao suddenly turned her head to look over, and questioned viciously, "Who are you?

"It doesn't matter who I am, you can guess with your pale imagination how I got in. Jiang Li picked up a ball of manuscript paper, unfolded it, and quickly scanned the content on it, and found that the drawing was indeed good, but the dialogue and storyline were obviously not satisfactory.

"What do you say, whose imagination is pale?!" Sun Simiao, like a cat that has been stepped on by its tail, stood up suddenly, and the chair made a screeching sound as it crossed the floor tiles.

"Is there anyone else in this room?" Jiang Li sneered, "Art comes from life, it is higher than life, you lock yourself in the house alone, do you want to do it behind closed doors? Do you really think that you are born with inspiration and imagination and can create something out of nothing?"

Sun Simiao's face was as red as a boiled crab, and she roared unwillingly: "No, I will definitely succeed! Just give me a little more time! I already have a brilliant idea!"

"Again and again, again and again, and again and again, and you don't understand the truth that nothing can be done more than three? Your parents gave you ten years, but all you got in return was this pile of garbage!"

"Ahh

Sun Simiao was extremely angry, and pounced on Jiang Li with his teeth and claws, but he nimbly dodged away, hit his stomach with a punch, and then staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.

"Weak, too weak, not only is the head already a pulp, but the body is rotten wood. Jiang Li looked at Sun Simiao condescendingly, with the indifference he had never shown in front of others.

"Who the hell are you?" Sun Simiao felt a strong spiritual coercion, and couldn't help but tremble in her voice.

Jiang Li suddenly squatted down, grabbed Sun Simiao's collar with one hand, picked the other party up, hooked the corners of his mouth in an arc, and sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I am the one who can save you." ”

"Help me?"

"Yes, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me!"

Sun Simiao swallowed her saliva with difficulty, staring at the strange young man in front of her, her heart contracted sharply, she let go suddenly, and the pencil in her hand fell to the ground.

The four people outside heard a lot of movement inside, and they were all very nervous, especially Sun Shangde, who couldn't help but rush in several times, but fortunately, Liu Qingyi reminded him in time.

At this time, the door suddenly "creaked" open, and a young man walked out with his head down and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, for worrying you." ”

Sun Shangde was stunned and looked at Jiang Li, who came out after him, his face full of disbelief.

When serious illness is a fierce medicine, Jiang Li will behave so toughly, of course, what really convinces the other party is his words, "As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can provide you with inspiration!"

Of course, Sun Simiao would not believe it easily, but after Jiang Li whispered a few words, he completely disarmed and surrendered, convinced.

"What the hell did you do in it to make the other party so obedient. On the way back, Liu Qianqian kept pestering Jiang Li to ask about it.

There was no way, Jiang Li could only give a vague and general answer: "Help him realize his dream." ”

"His dream is comics? I don't remember your company having a business in this area, or maybe you have a talent for it?"

"The business can't be developed, and you're not me, how do you know if I have the talent for it?"

Liu Qianqian looked at Jiang Li in a daze for a while, then suddenly sighed, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she turned her head to look out the window.

"What's wrong, Qianqian?"

"Don't talk to me, your light is too strong to blind my eyes, and the little woman feels deeply inferior in front of you. ”

"Ahem, you're not going to be sarcastic about me, are you?" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Jiang Li changed the topic and said, "By the way, Qianqian, are you going to leave college this year?"

"yes. Liu Qianqian said casually.

"Have you figured out where to work?"

"Nope. ”

Jiang Li groaned: "I remember that you are majoring in journalism, do you want me to introduce you to a good place, guarantee a high salary, all preferential treatment, but it is still in its infancy......"

"It won't be your company again, right?" Liu Qianqian said casually.

"Uh...... Yes. Jiang Li smiled awkwardly and admitted.

Liu Qianqian's slender hand stopped in the air, was silent for a long time, crossed a graceful arc, and suddenly pressed Jiang Li's shoulder, only to see her smile slyly, and said: "Well, in fact, the person driving in front of me intends to recruit me into the "Su Provincial Daily", the salary is also good, and it is very stable, and the reputation is good, I don't know what advantages you have for the job you provide me? Or rather, how do you want to persuade me, just like persuading that Sun Simiao." ”

Jiang Li really thought about it seriously, the place he was talking about was naturally the "Silent Night Thoughts" newspaper, which currently has assets of one million and has many employees, which affects the entire Jiangcheng, but compared with the "Su Provincial Daily", it is obviously an egg hitting a stone, and he is not able to do anything.

So, you have to start from other angles.

Jiang Li had an idea and said: "A blank piece of paper, you can paint it with any color, no one knows what it will become in the end, this uncertainty is also the fun, so don't you want to add a strong stroke to it?"

Liu Qianqian thought for a while, smiled relievedly, turned her head to look out the window, and muttered: "It's really a defeat for you, and you really have a hand in persuading people." ”

At this time, the car suddenly accelerated, and the curvature of the corners of Liu Qingyi's mouth was reflected in the rearview mirror.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Li returned to Jiangcheng.
