Chapter 60: Old Tears
I have to say that the news of Wen Xun signing a contract with Lanyang really shocked many people. For example, those editors who were waiting to see Wen Xun and Lan Yang's jokes, they really didn't expect Lan Yang to go crazy and sign a contract with Wen Xun, although they didn't know the specific details of the contract, but according to Wen Xun's previous price increase and Lan Yang's offer, their contract will definitely not be a "good" contract that the masses like to see!
They couldn't figure out why Lan Yang wanted to win this contract so hard, they didn't know why Wen Xun's seemingly nonsensical book was so favored by Lan Yang's publishing house. In their opinion, although Wen Xun's book has a little meaning, it is only limited to that little meaning.
And now, Wen Xun, the guy who won the first place, is actually playing crazy with Lan Yang, so the other editors are not waiting! They quickly contacted Bi Qikai, and they wanted to sign a contract with Bi Qikai. If Wen Xun, who won the first place, went crazy and played with that madman from Lan Yang, then Bi Qikai couldn't be like this, right?
But when they arrived at Bi Qikai's house and were about to discuss the contract with Bi Qikai, they were surprised to learn from him that Bi Qikai had already signed a contract with someone else! This made these sub-editors completely dumbfounded, they couldn't figure out what the hell was going on in the world!
Why were all the fledgling young people signed first? It's not a well-known company that signed Bi Qikai, I heard that it seems to be a former Internet writer, what is Lu Quan's...... How did this product change careers to publishing?
When the editors learned that Bi Qikai had been signed, Wen Xun got a "signing fee" of 100,000 yuan from Lan Yang. After getting the money, Wen Xun, accompanied by Lu Yuqing, went to the shanty where his father lived.
This shantytown is near Dalian Road in Hongkou District, where it is an old two-story shantytown. The iconic skyscrapers of Songjiang, an international metropolis, can only be seen here in a dirty and messy street scene similar to that of a small county town in the mainland.
Lu Yuqing accompanied Wen Xun into this shantytown, and when she first came, she was surprised that there was also a legendary "public toilet" here. Yes, there are still more than a dozen households sharing a public toilet! Not only is there no bathroom, there is not even a place to take a shower, and there is even a small communal kitchen in a two-story low building where more than a dozen households live!
The two walked to a small building deep in the shantytown. Once inside, the two men climbed a wooden staircase with an almost 60-degree inclination, and then walked to a small wooden door that would be about to be one person tall. Wen Xun knocked on the door, and there was a coughing sound inside, and then the voice asked, "Who?" ”
"Dad, I'm a quick man." Wen Xun replied.
Just as Wen Xun's words fell, I heard that the wooden door was suddenly opened. Inside the door stood an "old man" who looked a little similar to Wen Xun, this person was full of gray hair, emaciated, and dark-skinned, looking like Wen Xun's grandfather.
"Xun Yanzi, why are you here? I don't say hello in advance. Wen Xun's father said to his son while welcoming Wen Xun and Lu Yuqing in.
"Dad, this time, I'm here to take you home directly." Wen Xun didn't explain, and said directly.
As soon as he said this, Dad didn't understand it directly. Seeing his father's expression, Wen Xun explained with a smile: "Dad, your son has signed a contract to publish a novel, and now he has taken 100,000 yuan from the publishing house first." Your son can make money, you can finally go home and reunite with your wife, and you can enjoy the joy of family. ”
Hearing his son's words, his father's face was completely unresponsive, and he looked at his son in a daze, as if his brain couldn't process this kind of information. He looked at Wen Xun in a daze, and then looked at Lu Yuqing next to him blankly, as if to verify whether what his son said was true.
When he saw Lu Yuqing nodded with tears in his eyes, Wen Xun's father slowly diffused a watery liquid from the corner of his eyes. The dim liquid slowly flowed horizontally on the folds on Lao Wen's face, and Lao Wen choked up and looked at his son, and then at Lu Yuqing. Finally, he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and said while wiping his dreams: "My son's novel can be published, my son's novel can be published, my son's novel can finally be published!" I said at the beginning that my son is definitely the material for the writers, and no one believes them! Believe it now! ”
It's no wonder that Lao Wen is so excited, when he was twelve years old, Wen Xun, who had read a lot of martial arts novels, made up a novel by himself. The excited old Wen felt that his son was simply born to write novels, and then he took the train to Jiangxi to find the neighbor of Wen Xun's cousin's family at that time, and Wen Xun's cousin's neighbor happened to be a writer of the local writers' association at that time.
Although the writer didn't have a good evaluation of Wen Xun's article at that time, Lao Wen firmly believed that it was because the writer's own strength was too inferior, and there was no way to see Wen Xun's talent......
Now, all this finally proves that Wen Xun is indeed talented! It proves that the view that he firmly believed in the beginning is not wrong!
And, now it's finally time to go home! In order to renew his wife's life, Lao Wen has to work outside 365 days a year, as long as he stops for a few days, his wife with severe kidney disease may die! In order to be able to hang his wife's life, in order to let his wife and himself see the day when his son finally becomes a writer when he grows up, Lao Wen works hard outside, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to call his family a few times!
Looking at his tearful father, Wen Xun also twitched his nose slightly. He understands that his father has paid a lot, so he will desperately use his ability to become famous as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible! After such hard work, he finally succeeded when he heard the news! When he heard the news, he finally earned money to reunite his parents! When he heard the news, he finally made enough money to let his father rest and rest! When he heard that all these efforts had saved his father from becoming ill from overwork!
After the father and son shed tears like this for a while, they began to pack up with the help of Lu Yuqing. Now that Wen Xun is really making money, Lao Wen can't wait to go home and reunite with his family now. Now that his son can make money, why can't he show off when he is a father? With great fanfare, of course!
So when Lao Wen was cleaning up, his voice was very loud, as if he was deliberately attracting the attention of the neighbors. When the surrounding neighbors came over curiously or dissatisfied to see what was going on, Lao Wen began to proudly show off that his son was the current rookie writer Wen Xun, and the rookie writer Wen Xun was his son!
seems to be afraid that these guys who live in shantytowns don't watch the news and don't know who Wen Xun is, and Lao Wen deliberately used passages in martial arts novels to describe Wen Xun. said that Wen Xun was like a chivalrous man who became famous as a young man in white clothes......
