Chapter 21: The First Pot of Gold (Today's Exam Is Dark)
Qin Shi signed a contract with the editor-in-chief of Jiangnan Daily, authorizing him to publish a serialized "Breaking the Sky" in the newspaper.
Qin Shi retained all other copyrights of the book, including the physical publishing rights, and all other adaptation rights, and Wang Lining didn't care too much about these requirements, because the most critical reason for signing the book was to overwhelm the Qianjiang Evening News in sales.
But Qin Shi knew that the value of the book "Breaking the Firmament" was far more than that, and when the time was ripe in the future, this book would bloom into a second spring.
And Qin Shi's college roommate Zhang Le returned to work in the editorial department with the help of Qin Shi, and the annoying sycophant Cui Chengjian returned home with a white cardboard box.
Zhang Le excitedly invited Qin Shi to his house for dinner, thanking him for his help today, and reminiscing about the past.
You must know that Zhang Le is now the father of two children, one is babbling, and the other is still in his mother's swaddling clothes. If Zhang Le loses his job and the child's milk powder money is gone, then he will be in a predicament, and Qin Shi's sudden appearance is undoubtedly a relief in the snow.
This dinner was the happiest meal after Qin Shi returned, because Zhang Le called all the brothers in their dormitory, except for the fourth brother who went abroad for further study and couldn't come back, the eldest entered the army and couldn't get out of the way for discipline reasons, and the six musketeers of the music department of Jiangnan University had gathered four.
After this meal, there were two things that made everyone sigh, one was that Zhang Le, who was the most bad at communicating with his sister in the dormitory before, was the father of two children, and the other was that Qin Shi became the boyfriend of the big star Su Youxia.
Zhang Le's daughter-in-law called the eldest son Guan Qin Shi and their uncle, but the "uncle" who was not very clear made Qin Shi the object of ridicule by everyone.
"Qin Shi, when will you have a son with Su Youxia, then you will be the hero of our 403 dormitory."
Qin Shi sat in the taxi back, constantly recalling the joke at the dinner table in his mind.
Thinking of Zhang Le's eldest son's cute appearance, Qin Shi wondered if he and Su Youxia had a son, would they be just as cute.
Thinking about it, the car was parked at the door of Jiangnan Garden, and taxis could not drive into Jiangnan Garden, so Qin Shi could only get out of the car and walk back.
With beautiful scenery and a huge area, Jiangnan Garden is not so much a high-end community as a natural landscape park.
To get to Su Youxia's villa, you have to cross a river and cross the Lotus Bridge above.
The water of the creek trickled with the noisy chirping of cicadas in the trees.
It was already dark, there were no pedestrians on the bridge, it looked very gloomy, Qin Shi had a smile on his face, obviously he was in a very good mood.
This is not because he successfully sold "Breaking the Sky" at a high price, but because today he met those good friends who used to get along day and night.
Friends walk together for life
Those days are no more
That's right, six years have passed, things are wrong, and those days will indeed not be again.
Thinking of the years of university life at that time, the corners of Qin Shi's mouth also crossed a smile, he stood on the bridge to look at the scenery, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and shone on the river.
The surface of the river is sparkling, and fish can be seen wandering in the river, in groups.
"Poof."
An inch-long carp jumped out of the river, like a fish leaping over a dragon gate, crossed an arc in the air, and then returned to the river again.
Qin Shi saw his own shadow in this fish......
He was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure, his body was stunned at that moment, he didn't expect her to appear here.
"How did you get out?"
Qin Shi looked at the figure, asked gently, and walked towards the figure as he spoke.
"There was suddenly one less person at home, and I felt a little lonely, when you called me just now and told me to come back, I calculated the time, thinking that you were almost there at this time, so I came out and waited for you."
Su Youxia looked at Qin Shi standing in front of her and said, when she spoke, it was as if she was talking about something very ordinary, as indifferent.
Qin Shi felt that he couldn't answer this, so he held Su Youxia in his arms and told himself in his heart that he would never leave her alone in the future.
Su Youxia had just taken a bath, and there was a faint scent of lavender on his body, and there was a feeling of refreshing his heart on this hot summer night.
"You're drinking."
Su Youxia said.
“----”
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment and didn't speak.
"I made you honey water at home."
--------
--------
When Qin Shi walked into the villa, the honey water on the table happened to be warm, just right for him to drink.
He felt warm in his heart, not because of the summer heat.
He began to admire Su Youxia's wisdom and was able to calculate the time of his return home so accurately.
and what happened at the press conference that day, which made Qin Shi feel that Su Youxia was the real IQ touching.
That morning he made Su Youxia a breakfast, a sandwich and a glass of warm milk.
It's just that he put a sleeping pill in the milk, and he felt that Su Youxia was asleep, so he could go to the press conference in the afternoon alone.
He wants to take everything on himself, although he knows that if he succeeds in doing so, it will be good for Su Youxia's star journey, but he also knows that Su Youxia will never agree with his approach.
He didn't know why, it was just a kind of instinct on his part anyway.
However, what made him most strange was that Su Youxia obviously drank that glass of milk, but she still appeared at the press conference, which is not scientific.
Qin Shi thought about it afterwards, Su Youxia should have seen through his careful thinking a long time ago, so what happened later.
-------
-------
"I'm going to make a movie."
After Qin Shi drank the honey water, he looked at Su Youxia with a serious face and said.
"Really, that's good."
Although Su Youxia didn't show a very surprised and excited look, Qin Shi could still feel the joy in her heart.
"I've already written the script, and I can start filming in half a month."
Qin Shi continued.
"I'll invest in your films."
Su Youxia put down the cup in his hand and said suddenly.
She also made herself a glass of honey water, because honey can nourish a woman's beauty.
"I've found the funds."
Qin Shi took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the table, looked at Su Youxia and said, his tone was slightly happy. He wanted Su Youxia to be happy for him, and he also wanted Su Youxia to be happy for himself.
He wants the world to know that Su Youxia's vision is more accurate than the world's most advanced GPRS positioning.
As for the money in this card, he handed over the 100,000 first draft of "Breaking the Sky" to Wang Lining, and advanced 500,000 yuan from Jiangnan Daily, which was deducted from the follow-up manuscript fee at that time.
And this 500,000 yuan is also the first pot of gold he dug up after returning from the starry sky!
