Chapter 70: Temptation
Talking to Lin Baoer on the phone in front of Tao Yingshuang was not intentional by Zhu Ziqing. He did this to test Tao Yingshuang's reaction.
When he was at home, he and Lin Baoer showed such intimacy, Lin's father and Lin's mother must have discovered their relationship. The two did not object, but acquiesced.
Although there has been no communication, Zhu Ziqing also knows. The prerequisite for maintaining this state of affairs is that he does not do anything out of the ordinary. Once he has any 'dirty' thoughts, there are absolutely unbearable consequences waiting for him.
If he wants to go one step further with Lin Bao'er, he has to prove his worth to Lin's father and Lin's mother, or wait for Lin Bao'er to go to college - in this era, no matter how old-fashioned parents are, they will not object to their children falling in love in college.
For this reason, Zhu Ziqing is bound to enter the same university as Lin Baoer. Only in this way can the relationship between the two go on smoothly.
So he went against his original intention and participated in the essay contest of saying and interpreting words, and came up with an article "Yangguan Xue" that was very inconsistent with his age.
When he first crossed over, he planned to start with fairy tales and gradually get in touch with the theme of youth campus. When I was older, I had a lot of experience, and I was carrying the classics of my previous life.
The advantage of this method is that it is smooth and can save him countless troubles. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to lay out. But the last thing he lacks now is time. So this is the best way for him.
But for the sake of Lin Baoer, he had to change his original plan and choose such a slightly radical path.
It is also a helpless move to take out "Yangguan Snow". In both lives, they are ordinary people without literary cells, and it is impossible to become a genius after crossing over.
Although he had countless classics in his head, he himself knew a little about them. With his ability, he could only roughly distinguish which part belonged to the classics, which part was average, and which part was relatively poor. There's nothing you can do about it.
Participating in the world's top literary competition, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly. But I can't be sure which article is both suitable for my age and can pass the competition.
In the end, in order to be foolproof, I can only choose one from the most classic part. At this time, the most important thing is to pass the competition, and as for the trouble that may be caused, who can care so much.
But just through the investigation of Lin's father and Lin's mother, it doesn't mean that everything is fine.
The Lin family's family background is obviously not simple. Lin Baoer's father, Lin Keyu, is only forty years old this year, which means that he is in charge of a county at the age of thirty-seven or eight.
What's more, I heard Lin Baoer say that his father's work will be adjusted in the near future, and he will be a proper prefectural and department-level official at that time. The prefectural and departmental level, which has just turned 40 years old, will at least be at the provincial and ministerial level in the future.
You can imagine how much energy the family behind him is. How complicated is such a family, although Zhu Ziqing has never seen it, he has also seen it in film and television works and novels. It is certainly not easy to marry a girl from such a family.
He is not so naΓ―ve as to think that as long as there is love, everything can be solved, only a fool would think so. A real man must strive to shorten the distance between the two, rather than pushing everything to a woman and making it difficult for a woman. Of course, if the woman's request is too rude and harsh, it is not listed.
Cooking porridge on the phone in front of Tao Yingshuang was intended to test his reaction. As the saying goes, 'the eagle in the sky is big, and the uncle on the ground is big', and the mother's uncle has been a custom in our country since ancient times. Although Tao Yingshuang's status at home is worrying depending on the situation, he is not his uncle after all. His attitude also represents the attitude of the Tao family to some extent.
Even if it doesn't represent, knowing a person's opinion in advance is an improvement. It would be great if we could win him over. However, Tao Yingshuang never talked about this aspect of the matter. He never behaved as anything out of the ordinary, as if he had never noticed it. It made him puzzled and had a big headache.
He didn't know that Tao Yingshuang found out about his relationship with Lin Baoer on the first night he came. also communicated with his future mother-in-law about this.
Zhu Ziqing is not stupid, if you don't express your opinion, don't I have any other way?
He was sure that Tao Yingshuang must have known about his relationship with Lin Bao'er and wanted to know his opinion. Just observe his attitude towards himself.
If the attitude is bad or too polite, it is not optimistic. If you become close, you just don't object. At best, his attitude towards himself becomes as casual as an old friend. This shows that he is inclined to himself.
Through observation, Zhu Ziqing was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually the latter. Tao Yingshuang not only did not object, but was also more optimistic about the two of them. This really made Zhu Ziqing overjoyed.
After determining his attitude, Zhu Ziqing wanted to find an opportunity to inquire about the situation of the Tao Lin family and the preferences of his family from him, and then take targeted measures to reduce the difficulty he would face in the future.
Before the opportunity was found, Lin Beier appeared. It's simply the best excuse to get it at hand. Sure enough, when Tao Yingshuang told the story of the two sisters, Zhu Ziqing also had a rough understanding of the situation of the two families.
A military family, a political family, and the two current principals are Lin Bao'er's grandfather and grandfather. The personality habits of the two family members also have a rough understanding.
What made Zhu Ziqing sigh was that in his previous life, he dreamed of marrying a second and third generation and saving himself thirty years of struggle. Unexpectedly, this dream came true after the crossing. God is still true...... It's fucked up.
The location of the magazine "Children's Literature", an office.
"Editor-in-chief Zhao, I would like to report to you a good news, the final sales statistics of the last issue have been released. Guess how much. Wei Zhixing held a stack of documents and said in a mysterious manner.
"It should be above two million four million. Zhao Mingyuan said lightly without cooperation at all.
"Alas, it's not interesting. The better you run a magazine, the less humorous you are. 2.5 million copies, not to mention fractions below 1,000. β
You also know it's boring, Zhao Mingyuan complained in his heart. He didn't dare to say that, otherwise he wouldn't want to be quiet today.
"It's not hard to guess. With more than 2.4 million in the last period, the sales volume of this period cannot be lower than that of the previous period. β
"yes, there's really no suspense. It's two and a half million, which is a bit unpleasant, and two hundred and fifty two hundred and five. β
"As long as the sales volume can be maintained, let alone two hundred and five, I am happy to add up to five hundred. β
"You're ruthless. Wei Zhixing gave a thumbs up and changed the subject: "I heard that there are a few good newcomers to my Zhishe recently? Have you seen them in person, how are they?"
"See, I can only say that it is not satisfactory. It's far worse than Seven Nights. Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and said.
"......" Wei Zhixing, who was choked by these words, was speechless for a long time: "Your requirements are too high." In the fairy tale industry, who can compare with him. It's so unfair to you to use him as a standard. β
"I know, but reading his fairy tales and reading what other people have written is like chewing wax. I suspect that I may lose my ability to discriminate in the future. β
"Okay, Lao Zhao, if you say this in front of Qiye. We'll have one more title work at a time. β
"I think the problem is that people don't give it a chance at all. Speaking of this, Zhao Mingyuan was also very helpless. As the editor-in-chief, he has never met Zhu Ziqing. He couldn't do it even if he wanted to be courteous.
"By the way, I just have something to discuss with you. You came just in time, together with the staff officer. Zhao Mingyuan didn't want to talk about this topic that made him sad, so he said instead.
"What's the matter?" Wei Zhixing put down the document in his hand and said.
"Recently, several people from animation studios have sent messages saying that they want to get the animation adaptation rights of those works of Seven Nights. Zhao Mingyuan said solemnly.
"I know that. Didn't Seven Nights say that no one will sell the adaptation rights, so let's push them all away. What is there to discuss. β
Since the serialization of "Shuke and Beta", they don't know how many such adaptation intentions have been received. At that time, the identity of Seven Nights had not yet been revealed, and those people could only contact them. They conveyed it to Zhu Ziqing.
Zhu Ziqing naturally would not agree. At that time, it had only been serialized for a long time, and he was not so famous, and he was at a disadvantage when negotiating with those people, and he could not guarantee his maximum rights. And Zhu Ziqing also has his own plans to go deeper, so he doesn't need to pay attention to such news in the future after telling Wei Zhixing.
"Now that the identity of Seven Nights is known, if they really have this idea, they can contact him directly. What do you want us to do. Wei Zhixing said puzzled.
All the works of Seven Nights, except for the exclusive serialization rights here in the magazine, the rest are in his own hands. It's all an open secret. What are you looking for them for?
"They looked for it, but the problem was that Seven Nights didn't even pay attention to them. Zhao Mingyuan shook his head and said.
"Ignoring is refusal, what's the use of looking for us. Wei Zhixing said unhappily: "Old Zhao, you won't be quite a broker." β
"Where do you want to go. Even if I had this heart, I wouldn't dare to be his broker. Zhao Mingyuan said with a wry smile: "The identity of the person looking for us this time is not ordinary, I dare not refuse." β
"Really?" Wei Zhixing saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he sat up straight and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"
Although they are already the highest-selling magazine in the industry, and they have initially shown the grandeur of behemoths, the more they tremble and walk on thin ice. The water in the magazine circle is too deep, and one bad thing is that it will never be recovered. They don't want to be thrown into the abyss when they are about to reach glory.
You must know that they have stepped on the heads of countless peers to get to where they are today, and how many people are eager to break their bodies into thousands of pieces.
As long as the two of them make a wrong step, those people will definitely swarm and knock them into the abyss in one fell swoop. It's just that the two of them have been cautious and haven't left others with much opportunity for him to take advantage of.
Now Zhao Mingyuan said that he didn't dare to refuse this person, and Wei Zhixing became alert.
"Who the hell is it?"
"CCTV. β
