Chapter 160: Run? (2nd Request for Votes)
(It's really not easy to stay up late every day to code words, not a penny, and please support more, vote to encourage it, thank you, thank you for the reward, thank you.) )
Qin Shi had mentioned to him many times before about the author of the hurried year, so Wang Lining was also very attentive to this.
After all, he was able to sit in the position of editor-in-chief of Jiangnan Daily in his thirties, and at the same time become Jiang Yan's confidant, so he naturally has his advantages.
He knew the relationship between Qin Shi and Jiang Yan, and he was also very optimistic about Qin Shi, so when he knew that the bosses of the three publishing houses had invited him to "meet" at the banquet this afternoon, he also thought of Qin Shi having asked him many times if he knew about this "meeting".
With his knowledge and experience, he vaguely felt that Qin Shi seemed to have some unusual attention to this "meeting".
And at this time, when he saw Qin Shi hearing the word "meet", he lost his mind, which also verified his previous conjecture.

Although the companies of Camel Publishing House, Wenlan Publishing House, and Sanli Publishing House are all competing on the surface, in fact, the CEOs of these three publishing houses are all old friends, and their private friendship is not bad, so it doesn't matter who makes the dinner.
The dinner was not set in a high-rise building like the Times Building, but in an attic in the ancient city* area.
Jiangnan City is a thousand-year-old city, retaining a lot of ancient architectural relics, and the most famous is the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street, in the old city * area by the West Lake, living are the old residents of Jiangnan City, because of the municipal government's cultural relics protection regulations, the old houses there are not allowed to be demolished, so they are also well preserved.
In the inner street of the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street, there is an attic built at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which borrows some Western styles and has a classical artistic beauty, and has always been the landmark building of the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street.
This attic is not owned by the state, but is the inheritance of a merchant's ancestor, and was later rented as a private restaurant, serving guests who are either rich or noble, and this time the dinner is set here.
Just as Qin Shi and Wang Lining got out of the car and walked towards the attic, a woman wearing a chiffon shirt with tassels and embroidery on her chest, and a slim plain knee-length skirt standing in front of the second-floor window of the attic.
This is a woman who just stands, that is, can give people a sense of elegance and tranquility, she is very beautiful, elegant and lacking in dynamic beauty, between the cheeks and clusters, making people's hearts ripple.
"Miss Quiet, I wonder how you thought about our invitation to the publishing house?"
Dou Wenbin, the boss of Sanli Publishing House, walked towards the woman with a cup of Longjing tea in his hand, and said with a smile.
That's right, this elegant and beautiful woman standing in front of the window is the author of the novel "The Year in a Hurry" that was serialized in the "Qianjiang Evening News" and caused a reading frenzy - meet.
Of course, meeting is just her pen name, her real name is quiet.
"Mr. Dou, I'm afraid that I won't be able to write the subject you gave well, and I will live up to your expectations when the time comes."
Quietly took the dragon well from Dou Wenbin's hand, but did not take a sip.
"How can it be, with your current fame, Miss Quiet, there are a few young literature writers who can be compared to you, besides, it is still serialized in a hurry that year, and when you open a new book, there will definitely be a large group of loyal fans who will support you."
Dou Wenbin put the dragon well in his hand on the windowsill, and said to Quiet with a smile, he wanted to ask Quiet to write a book specifically for Sanli Publishing House, the subject matter and type will be provided by their publishing house, which is equivalent to signing all the agents of Quiet's next book, which can also be said to be a buyout, but Quiet has not agreed for a long time, and has been shirking, which makes him a little anxious.
"Mr. Dou, let me think about this matter again, the year is not over yet, as for the next book, I haven't planned to write it yet, I haven't planned to write it yet, I took a closer look at the theme and story framework you gave me, and I don't have so much inspiration for the time being."
Although Dou Wenbin gave herself a sky-high signing fee, Jing Jing still did not agree immediately, because first, she didn't write a book just for money, she just wanted to tell you a story, a story that she had personally experienced when she was young, and secondly, she was not willing to create in a fixed framework given by Dou Wenbin, which went against her original intention.
"Since Miss Quiet said so, then I won't force you, I heard Editor-in-Chief Xu Bowen say that "The Year in a Hurry" will be completed in more than a month, I hope Miss Quiet can give me a satisfactory answer by then."
Dou Wenbin didn't say anything, as the president of a publishing house and a cultural person, he just hoped that Quiet Light would give him an answer when the end of "The Year in a Hurry" ended.
"Thank you, Mr. Dou, I will think about it."
Seeing that Dou Wenbin did not continue on this topic, Jing Jing was also relieved.
"Old Dou, what do you say to our talented girl."
At this moment, Feng Lun, the boss of Camel Publishing House, also walked over to this side, and Wen Yilan, the boss of Wenlan Publishing House, was next to him.
"I didn't say anything, let's talk about literary creation."
Dou Wenbin laughed and brushed aside the conversation between himself and the quiet.
"It's twelve o'clock now, Wang Lining and that 'Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Pass' should be almost there."
Feng Lun looked at the time of his watch, raised his head and said.
"It should be almost, haha, Miss Quiet, I'll introduce you later, now another popular writer, the author of serializing "Zhu Xian" in Jiangnan Daily - Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shiguan."
Dou Wenbin said with a hearty smile, in fact, if you talk about it, Qin Shi is the protagonist of today's meal.
"Oh, we'll see you then."
Jing Jing also just knew that the author of "Zhu Xian" was coming, so her heart was also moving, she naturally knew how popular "Zhu Xian" was recently, and she was also very curious about this author who agreed to be very mysterious.
And the author's name is Qin Shimingyue and Han Shiguan, which reminds her of a past.
Just when Jing Jing was talking to Dou Wenbin and them, Qin Shi and Wang Lining also happened to walk under the attic.
The quiet gaze inadvertently glanced downstairs, but when her gaze fell on Qin Shi, the pupils in her eyes suddenly shrank, and her heart shook violently.
"Qin Shi Mingyue Han Shi Guan? Qin Shi? ”
Quiet suddenly became complicated, and the little hands were inadvertently clenched together.
"Mr. Dou, I'm really sorry, I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, and I was afraid that I would miss this meal."
