Chapter 12: Would You Like to Make Friends?

"How could the grades be so bad? Did I choose the wrong subject? Ji Ran sat at the computer desk and thought confusedly.

"Ji Ran, don't care what your grades are, anyway, I think your writing is pretty good, come on and write it, as long as you write, I will chase it to the end, I am willing to be your first and last reader." Hong Dali patted Ji Ran on the shoulder and encouraged enthusiastically.

Ji Ran's heart warmed, and he nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Dali." ”

Hearing Ji Ran call him Dali, Hong Dali grinned, "Can I call you Xiao Ran in the future?" ”

Hearing Hong Dali ambiguously calling his milk name, Ji Ran had goosebumps all over his body, "You still call me Ji Ran." ”

Ji Ran persisted for a month under Hong Dali's encouragement, but the results of the new book have been tepid, and Hong Dali supports the Internet access fees of the two people every day, and gradually he is a little overwhelmed, and he spent two months of living expenses in just one month, and the remaining months are afraid that he will have to live a hard life.

"Dali, thank you for your support to me this month, I think it's better to forget it, I won't write it, I will find a way to pay you back your money slowly." Ji Ran said helplessly.

"Ji Ran, don't give up, it's been so long, what a pity if you give up halfway? If I keep going, I still have money and can support it, so hold on for a few more days. Hong Dali continued to encourage Ji Randao, just like in the previous life, whenever Ji Ran encountered difficulties, Hong Dali always supported him silently behind his back, which was also the most important reason why they became good brothers in the previous life.

"However, you don't have much money, do you have to eat pickles and steamed buns for the remaining months?" Ji Ran looked at Hong Dali and asked.

"It's not like I haven't eaten it, what are you afraid of?" Hong Dali laughed indifferently.

With Hong Dali's strong support, Ji Ran persisted for a few more days, and finally waited for the long-awaited signing SMS.

[Hello, I'm a big girl signed an editor persimmon, and I will discuss with you about the signing of your work, please add QQ: 7758521. When adding QQ, please indicate your name and work, thank you ^_^.

Looking at the long-awaited signing text message, Ji Ran was not as excited as expected, although he signed the contract now, but Ji Ran knew that signing the contract was only the first step, as for whether it could be put on the shelves in the future, whether it could earn the manuscript fee, it would depend on the results of the book in the future.

From the current point of view, the results are tepid, and they are only at the middle level in similar fantasy works, and Dadian Niang has just opened the VIP listing business, so the requirements for the works on the shelves are still very strict, and not all books can be casually put on the shelves for sale.

Often less than 30 of the 100 contract books can be put on the shelves, and judging from the current results, Ji Ran's hope of being on the shelves is still very slim.

Even if it can really be put on the shelves, it will take at least another month, and I don't know if Hong Dali's deposit can last until that time.

Ji Ran looked at the signing text message, his expression was a little mixed, but Hong Dali was excited, as if he was the person who signed the contract, and he was very happy.

"Beauty, what am I talking about? You'll be able to do it...... Ay? Why aren't you happy? Hong Dali looked at Ji Ran strangely and asked.

"Dali, I still don't write it, do I? Even if you sign a contract, you may not be able to put it on the shelf, and even if you can put it on the shelf, it will take at least another month, but you don't have much money, I can't spend your money empty, you still have to live. Ji Ran said embarrassedly.

Hearing Ji Ran say this, Hong Dali was unhappy at the time, "Damn, I'm a big man, can I still be suffocated by urine?" I can do odd jobs without money, and I go to the construction site to move bricks on weekends, and I have 80 a day. ”

"You're going to the construction site to move bricks?" Ji Ran looked at Hong Dali in surprise, but don't say it, Hong Dali's physique may really be suitable for moving bricks, hehe......

"What? Can't you? My brother is eighteen years old this year, and he is not considered a child laborer. Hong Dali smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and showed off his muscles.

"But that's going to be hard and tiring." Ji Ran asked worriedly.

"For you, no matter how hard and tired I am, I am willing." Hong Dali grinned and said bluntly.

With Hong Dali's resolute support, Ji Ran finally mustered up the courage and decided to sign a contract with Da Dianniang, but according to the agreement, he still had to fill in his ID card and bank card, because Ji Ran was under 18 years old and had no ID card, so he had to borrow Hong Dali's ID card and fill it in the agreement.

After filling out the agreement, Ji Ran sent the agreement to Oriental Pearl City, which is the largest and most prosperous metropolis in the country and the location of Dadianniang's headquarters.

A few days later, Ji Ran's work was also changed from the previous [exclusive status] to the [A-level contract] status, and at the same time, Ji Ran also received his first on-site recommendation --- classified text push, because the recommendation effect is not very obvious, so, writers in the previous life usually called this kind of recommendation a pants push, which is not comparable to Dafeng Tui.

Ji Ran knew that the effect of text push was very average, so he didn't have much hope, and he still maintained it two more times a day, but a week later, Ji Ran was surprised to find that his collection had grown more than 2,000 insanely, and it was the best one in the same batch of text push works, and at the same time, Ji Ran then received the second recommendation of the new book [Classification Small Cover Push].

Although the classification of small seals is not as effective as the classification of large seals, but, at least it is better than the classification of text push, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of Ji Ran's works by the website, after a week of recommendation of classified small seals, Ji Ran's collection has risen by leaps and bounds, increasing by more than 3500.

During this period, the editor's attitude towards Ji Ran has also changed a lot, I remember that when Ji Ran first signed the contract, the editor always ignored Ji Ran, sometimes Ji Ran asked ten questions, and people didn't even bother to reply, until now, the editor actually took the initiative to contact Ji Ran, and the tone of speech was much more enthusiastic than before.

"Shell, your work has good results, and it has great potential for development, and I plan to arrange a classification for you next week, remember to update it on time." The editor sent a message with a big smiling face at the end of the message.

Ji Ran looked at that cute big smiling face and smiled, this is something she never dreamed of in her previous life.

After school at noon that day, Hong Dali sent Ji Ran to the door of the Internet café, took out five yuan from his trouser pocket and handed it to Ji Ran, "Ji Ran, you go, I won't go, write well, I wish you an early launch." ”

"Oh." Ji Ran nodded, knowing that Hong Dali was also doing this to save money, so he went to the Internet café alone.

However, not long after Ji Ran sat down, he heard someone sitting down next to him, and habitually asked, "Dali, aren't you not coming?" Why is it here again? ”

"Vigorously?" The voice reached Ji Ran's ears, Ji Ran was startled, turned his head to look, and it was actually Zhuang Bin's hateful guy sitting next to him, and he couldn't help frowning.

"What are you going to do?"

"What? I can't come if you come to the Internet café? Zhuang Bin asked strangely.

"Network administrator, I want to change the machine." Ji Ran called the network manager and changed the machine, but he didn't expect Zhuang Bin to be cheeky and follow, Ji Ran changed again, Zhuang Bin followed again, and finally the network manager was angry, no one changed it, Zhuang Bin still sat next to Ji Ran.

"I said you're sick, huh? Why do you keep following me? Ji Ran asked angrily.

"I'm also curious, why do you keep avoiding me? In school, whether it is grades or prestige, I am a hundred times stronger than Hong Dali's scumbag, why are you so good to Hong Dali, and always so cold to me?

From the beginning of school to the present, you have spoken to me no more than three sentences in total, where did I offend you? Zhuang Bin looked at Ji Ran and asked strangely.

"You are the class leader, I don't dare to say that you offended me, in case someone gives a small report to the teacher behind my back, I won't be able to eat and leave." Ji Ran said insinuatingly.

Zhuang Bin is not an idiot, he naturally knows that Ji Ran is referring to Sang scolding Huai, scolding himself in a corner, and smiling awkwardly, "Xiao Ran, I know, you are still angry about what I sued you last time, but I don't have any malice, I just don't want you to be spoiled by that guy Hong Dali, Hong Dali is a scum student who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and you are different, you are a good student, you should draw a line with him, right?" ”

"I know you like to surf the Internet, this is a monthly card in the school's computer room, you can have two hours of free Internet access every day, if you don't dislike it, let's make friends, okay?" Zhuang Bin said, pushing the moon card to Ji Ran's table.
