In the end, Fang Tianlu still bought Marston's car on the grounds that it was more practical.

"Husband, I want to get a driver's license. ”

Seeing the new car, Fang Yiqiu was also happy to see the hunt.

Not to mention that this car is very handsome, it should be very handsome, and because it is in stock, you can pick up the car immediately after five days, and the listing and insurance are readily available.

Five days later, a black coupe stopped in the courtyard of the Fang family's house.

Fang Yiqiu is also a man of action, and on the day he got the car, he went to the driving school to sign up.

When I came back, I had a book in my hand, a manual full of traffic rules, various road signs, emergency treatment, and so on.

Speaking of road signs, Fang Tianlu also has to make up for relevant knowledge.

Now he is driving on the road, and when he sees those road signs, almost all of them are guessed.

In the remaining days, Fang Yiqiu was studying with this traffic manual, Fang Tianlu was also studying, and he also made some road sign cards to help his wife study.

On the day of the Fantasy Novel Forum, Xiao Fangyan and Fang Weiran were entrusted to the care of their neighbors, and the couple drove to a private estate on the outskirts of Yutai City, where the forum was held.

Rounding around to a private estate.

In the temporary parking lot, all kinds of luxury cars have been parked, if Fang Tianlu drove the small broken car before, it would really be a shame.

Entering the manor, there were already thirty or forty people walking in the courtyard.

It's just that most of them, Fang Tianlu doesn't know them, there is only one writer manager, who once had a relationship with Fang Tianlu, but he can't say two sentences, and he is not familiar with it at all.

It's just that this manager is familiar with himself, and he was also surprised to see Fang Tianlu, so he pulled a few young people around him and came to Fang Tianlu's side.

"Haha, writer Fangda, I didn't expect to meet you here, I didn't have time to introduce myself last time we met, my name is Du Peijing, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

To be honest, Fang Tianlu didn't really want to know Du Peijing.

Listening to Lisa and Fei Yi chewing on the root of their tongues, this Du Peijing is completely profit-oriented, and likes to squeeze a few authors who have signed contracts in their hands. But young people want to become writers, and after being fooled by Du Peijing, they are very easily tempted, so they sign a contract with Du Peijing.

After that, Du Peijing used his connections to hand over the works of these writers to the publishing house for publication at his own expense, and more than 80 percent of the publishing income would go to Du Peijing's pocket, while the author could only get the remaining 20 percent, and then deduct the publishing expenses and pay taxes.

Take the "Journey to the West" series as an example.

The cost of publication and publicity is about fifteen million, and if Fang Tianlu is the author under Du Peijing, he can only get eight or nine million every month, and more than 80 million are eaten by Du Peijing.

It's a terrifying comparison.

However, this kind of person, for the publishing house, cannot be easily offended.

Because there are a lot of excellent writers in the hands of writer managers, take the Pattern Publishing House as an example.

Since its establishment, Fantasia Publishing House has published a total of 28 books in the genre of novels and chicken soup for the soul, eight of which are from Du Peijing, and these eight novels can bring an average of more than 9 million per month to Fantasia Press, which is on par with the other 19 publications.

The remaining novel is, of course, the "Journey to the West" series, which is not at all comparable to ordinary novels.

During the conversation, Du Peijing could also feel that Fang Tianlu didn't seem to be friendly to him.

So I was a little embarrassed and wanted to leave.

It happened that Fei Yi arrived with his male companion at this time.

Fei Yi's male companion is her childhood sweetheart who has played since she was a child, and now she has become a boyfriend and girlfriend, but under Fang Tianlu's eyes that see through everything, this person has nothing to hide, and he must be a scumbag.

Of course, Fang Tianlu doesn't have the eyes to see through everything, but there are three important people in Pattern Press: Fei Yi, Lisa and Fang Tianlu, Fang Tianlu is the boss of the two women and their colleague.

Once when Lisa was looking at her phone, Fang Tianlu also inadvertently saw the video on her phone, which was the scumbag brought by Fei Yi now, who was doing some fly camp dog tricks with an OL woman in the bathroom.

"This woman is said to be on the company's bus, and she often begs men to do things. ”

Therefore, a man has such a female colleague, and there are ghosts if he doesn't fall.

"Du Peijing, big boss, you guys are chatting so well, you should know each other, right?"

Fang Tianlu rolled his eyes and complained in his heart: May I ask Miss Fei, which eye did you see that I was chatting with this vampire very well?

In an instant, the embarrassed person became Fang Tianlu, but fortunately, Lisa and her little boyfriend came to the rescue in time.

Lisa's little boyfriend has bells and whistles, and her skin is tattooed.

On the neck, on the backs of the hands, on the ankles, green, yellow, red...... It's all traces of art.

However, the hair is not long, and it is naturally golden red.

His name is Eric, born in the other half of the planet in the West Eighth District, it is said that he came to live in the Chinese language area with his parents since he was a child, and now he has almost been assimilated by the culture of the East Eighth District, and his lifestyle, speaking habits, etc. are no different from the locals of the East Eighth District.

This is such a person, only twenty-eight years old, 'the same age' as Lisa.

Lisa approached Fang Tianlu mysteriously and whispered, "Eric knows my real age. ”

Eh, hey, the feelings of this Eric are really Alyssa's person, not Lisa's appearance, and even knowing that Lisa is forty-one years old, he has not left her. Compared with Fei Yi's boyfriend, he seems to be a rare good man.

The greetings did not last long, and as the number of participants increased, the forum officially began.

First, there was a two-hour reading club.

The so-called reading club is that the author or the person designated by the author goes on stage to read the wonderful parts of the author's book. These books that can be read are not just any one person, they are all excellent works selected by the fantasy fiction committee, and they are also nominated works for this year's awards.

Fang Tianlu felt a little bored after listening to the highlights of a few people.

The first one to take the stage was a female writer, the title of the book "Peach Blossoms Ten Miles", which is a magical work. Fang Tianlu has heard of it, and it is said that it has been adapted into a film and television drama. It's about the love story of the fox clan and the human warrior, and if you tear off the skin of magic, this book is just a bloody romance novel.

The second male author to come to the stage made Fang Tianlu feel more favorable. His work is a chivalrous knight, knight, samurai, and so on, and the main plot is the story of the strife between the countries in the Warring States Period, which leads to the broken void and achieves a generation of martial gods.

The two of them each spent seven or eight minutes.

The third person to be named turned out to be Fang Tianlu.

The party looked at Fei Yi and Lisa a with some blankness, and Lisa whispered: "It was me and Fei Yi who sent "Journey to the West" to participate in the evaluation, if you can win the Golden Dee Award for Fantasy Novels, it will be a very glorious thing for the publishing house, and the Pattern Publishing House can't live forever under the haze of the experience publishing house......

Lisa is right, but Fang Tianlu really doesn't look like he is studying on stage.

Lisa volunteered, took the book, and took the stage on her own.
