Chapter XXIII: Publication of Novels
Chapter 23 The novel is published
When Zhang Ling returned to school, Lin Yu hurriedly asked, "Xiaoling, why did the teacher tell you to go to the office? Did you fail in this midterm exam?"
"How can I fail the exam?" Zhang Ling said with a smile, "Who can shake my status as a scholar!"
"So confident?" Lin Yu smiled, "Then why did the teacher tell you to go to the office?"
"I was bought by someone in the dorm. Zhang Ling said with an indignant expression, looking at Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin seemed to feel Zhang Ling's gaze, first confused, and then quickly buried his head, not daring to look at Zhang Ling.
She obviously guessed what was going on from Zhang Ling's eyes! She didn't think anything was wrong, but when she was looked at by Zhang Ling's gaze, she suddenly felt a little weak.
"At the New Year's Day party, you want to sing on stage?"
In the dormitory, after listening to Zhang Ling's words, everyone was a little surprised. Of course, Zhao Xin seemed much calmer.
"Don't you think Zhang Ling sings very well?" said Zhao Xin, who had to be approved by the rest of the dormitory. Otherwise, they will feel that they have cheated Zhang Ling.
"Xiaoling's singing is really good. Lin Yu said.
"We're looking forward to it!" Li Xue said with a smile.
"Do you want to represent the city's middle school students in the speech contest?" Dai Xiao said.
"Is there anything strange?" Zhang Ling said with a pout.
"Yes, what's so strange, Zhang Ling's speech level can be seen from the review at the last flag-raising ceremony. Hu Yu said with a smile.
"Can I understand that you are complimenting me?" Zhang Ling smiled.
"Of course I'm complimenting you. Hu Yu said with a smile.
"Isn't it strange!, but do you know who the other person who is representing the school in the competition?" Dai Xiao said with a smile. She smiled a little ambiguously.
"It can't be Xiao Yang, right?" Zhao Xin asked expectantly.
"I'll go!" Li Xue said with some surprise.
Xiao Yang is the former president of the student union, and the freshman entered the school, but he spoke on behalf of the students. That's also excellent. It's no surprise that he represents the school in the competition. Hu Yu said.
Speaking of this, everyone looked at Zhang Ling, and the expression was self-evident.
"Is the school going to be a matchmaker and want to match the two of them?" Zhao Xin muttered.
"Poof!"
Lin Yu and the others couldn't help laughing. Zhang Ling couldn't cry or laugh a little, but glared at her angrily.
The results of the midterm exam came out, and Zhang Ling won the first place in the first year of high school for a second year, and pulled the second place with a lot of points. This time, although she did not get a full score in Chinese, she got a full score in mathematics, and the total score increased compared to the previous time.
In this midterm exam, Zhang Ling staged it again, or completely confirmed her dominance as a scholar.
Zhang Ling scored another amazing score, and it was only talked about, but it was also surprising, and the topic was not as big as the performance she would perform on stage at the New Year's Day party.
As for Zhang Ling and Xiao Yang, who will represent the school in the city's middle school students' speech contest, it is even more topical.
The source of the topic is naturally not a speech contest, but Zhang Ling and Xiao Yang.
It is said that Xiao Yang laughed three times when he got the news, and invited his dormitory classmates to have a big meal, and threatened that his opportunity had come after drinking.
Whether Xiao Yang's opportunity has come or not, I can't say. However, he was still cold at Zhang Ling's place.
"Xiaoling...... Okay, Zhang Ling. Xiao Yang was looked at by Zhang Ling's eyes and hurriedly changed his words.
"Good!" Zhang Ling smiled and patted Xiao Yang's shoulder, and then passed by.
"Wait!Zhang Ling, can you not be so indifferent to me! Even if we can't be a couple, can't we be friends?" Xiao Yang said, "Don't you think that a circle of friends without the opposite sex is incomplete?"
When Zhang Ling heard this, she was stunned, then smiled and said: "Become a couple, I can tell you this very responsibly, you are still dead-hearted! I'll think about it!"
"A lot of couples start out as friends!"
"You shouldn't be in a hurry right now, don't think about getting it all in one step. The first thing you have to do is get the other person to put away their guard against you. So that you have a chance to get close to her and impress her!"
"Be bold and careful, and be thick-skinned! Remember these seven words, and you will be of infinite use. ”
"What do you call your strongest competitor, yes, it's Ren Hai. He has the true meaning of being bold and thick-skinned, but his heart is not careful enough, he doesn't understand that the girl hates stalking, and he doesn't notice the girl's emotional changes, so he dares to grab his hand and hold on, which is purely looking for death. Needless to say, that guy must have been sentenced to death by that girl. ”
"This is a lesson that you have to remember. ”
"Catch her, don't embarrass Dad!"
Xiao Yang remembered that his unscrupulous father talked a lot about his experience in picking up girls, and he came up with a lot of "bad ideas", but at this time, he suddenly felt that it was simply a golden and jade good word.
No wonder his mother will be chased by his father who has not yet made a career.
Just thinking about being friends, Xiao Yang had a feeling that happiness came too suddenly. When she came back to her senses, Zhang Ling had already walked away.
"Wait!" Xiao Yang hurriedly shouted.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Ling turned around and asked. The tone was a little impatient.
"Annoying the girl you like, that's the beginning of entering the ranks of single dogs!"
Thinking of his father's words, Xiao Yang hurriedly said: "About the speech contest." Before the competition, there is a special instructor, but you have to prepare your speech first. The teacher reviews the speech first, and then gives instructions on the speech. ”
"Got it. Zhang Ling nodded and said. She wasn't surprised by this. It would be strange if the school didn't train and test it in advance and let you go to the competition directly!
The date of the competition is after the New Year's Day party, and there is still plenty of time. As for the speech script, Zhang Ling has a lot in her head.
The New Year's Day party has not arrived, but Zhang Ling's book has arrived.
This time, the publisher sent Zhang Ling a large box, which was not just a sample like the magazine.
"Wow! Xiaoling, I want a copy, sign it!" Lin Yu screamed, and then shouted.
"I want it too, I want it too!" Dai Xiao and the others also shouted.
"Be quiet!" Zhao Xin hurriedly said, "Don't you know what it means to have more meat and less wolf?
"I want two? Yes, yes, I want two, and I want two! Give one away and keep one for treasure. When Li Xue heard this, she hurriedly said, and then quickly went to close the door of the dormitory.
"Fortunately, it's in the dormitory, if it's in the classroom, it's really a wolf with more meat and less meat. Hu Yu said with a smile.
"Are you my friends?" Zhang Ling said helplessly, "This is my first book, why don't you buy two copies to increase sales and support it, you still have to give it away." ”
"Don't be so stingy. A few of us, let alone one person buying two copies, even buying twenty copies, the increased sales are just a drop in the ocean!" Li Xue said with a smile.
"I'll borrow your auspicious words!" Zhang Ling said angrily.
"Xiaoling's novel will definitely be produced and sold. You don't even know how popular your novel is. Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Left Ear" was serialized in the magazine "Youth", which caused a lot of repercussions and was very well-known among students. The main consumers of this kind of youth literature are the student body. With this foundation, then her sales will not be less.
These words are nothing more than a joke.
The news of the publication of Zhang Ling's novel quickly spread throughout the school, and many people rushed to the bookstore during the break, only to return disappointed. Apparently the issuance is not yet in place.
And the novels in the hands of Zhang Ling and her dormitory classmates have become sought-after goods. There are many people who borrow books, and there are many people who ask for them. Among them is her homeroom teacher, Yu Mei.
The news of Zhang Ling's book spread, but her goddess charm value was rising. After the vigorous issuance, Zhang Ling was even more pleasantly surprised.
