Seeing this, Gu Cheng hurriedly exited to relieve the siege: "Mom, what about this, because the company has been doing a lot recently, so he and Tingting originally planned to drag it back." ”

Hearing this, Shen's mother just didn't like it, and listened to Gu Cheng continue: "But, since Mom, you are in a hurry to hold your grandson, then Tingting and I will deal with it as soon as possible." I really don't have time this year, let's do it next year, let's see a good time next year, and let Tingting marry into my family. ”

Although she was still a little dissatisfied, the explanation still made Shen's mother much happier, she looked at her daughter and said: "Look at people and Gu can talk a lot, you girl learn more, fortunately someone asked for it!" ”

"Humph!" Shen Ting pouted and rolled her eyes at the gloating Gu Cheng. Everyone knows that these words are just Shen's mother's self-deprecation.

After the meal, the room was cleaned up, and then Shen's mother took her daughter out and went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, while Shen's father chatted with Gu Cheng, although the old man was just a worker, but the ruler was short and long. There are still some things that Gu Cheng doesn't understand, and they are passed on to Gu Cheng through communication.

At eleven o'clock, guests slowly began to arrive. Shen Ting's uncle, aunt, aunt, and incidental family members, and in the end, all the relatives of the Shen family who could come in Shanghai arrived, and there were more than ten people in total, all of whom were crowded into a small room. There was no place to sit in the crowd, and even the two bedrooms were crowded.

Gu Cheng proposed to go out to eat, but was vetoed by Shen's mother, saying that she didn't want to spend money, and the flowers with beautiful scenery on the day of the wedding were the closest relatives at this time, so there was no need to save face.

Led by Shen's father, Gu Cheng met a group of relatives, and then sat in the living room and talked, which was nothing more than some national events and global dynamics. Or someone's recent experience. And Shen's mother and a few female dependents were busy in the small kitchen. Shen Ting entered her room with a few younger sisters and brothers.

Shen Ting's boudoir.

As soon as she entered, after closing the door, the girl from Shen Ting's uncle's house shouted: "Cousin, your boyfriend is too handsome, right?" Where did you find it? ”

Another cousin also said with interest: "Sister, this is what my mother has always said about Gu Cheng?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Ting replied with a blushing face, adding fuel to the fire, her mind slowly moved, and she seemed to have something more to Gu Cheng except for a mischievous accomplice.

"What a handsome guy, cousin, how did you say you got it? Teach me. Shen Ting's cousin was clever and lively, and shouted directly.

"What bubbles don't bubble, how ugly it sounds." Shen Ting blamed, and then said wistfully: "Gu Cheng, he chased me." ”

"Wow!" This made my cousin suddenly envious. The cousin was very depressed and hurriedly interrupted: "Sister, you don't seem to be in the Shanghai Stock Exchange recently?" ”

"Yes, Gu Cheng's family is in Beiling Province, and my sister went to his house. He has a big company. Shen Ting said a little proudly.

"Idol! In the future, I will be like my brother-in-law, make a lot of money, and find a big beauty. "Shen Ting's cousin has just entered junior high school, and he is also a little child, and when he heard his brother-in-law so powerful, he shouted and screamed.

"Alright, stop shouting. You two are shocked. Shen Ting put on the face of the eldest sister and taught the two little ones a lesson.

Shen Ting didn't have anything to play at home, she had just studied honestly for many years before. Now there is only a mobile phone, which is considered fresh, and is scrambling for frolicking by younger siblings.

And in the living room, Gu Cheng was also undergoing the examination of the elders.

Shen Ting's uncle had two, and his uncle came to one, and they all asked about Gu Cheng's situation curiously, and the eldest uncle opened his mouth first.

"Gu Cheng, you say, your home is in Beiling? I've heard that the mainland isn't very good right now!" This one is somewhat geographic.

Fortunately, Gu Cheng was no longer moved by such words. He nodded and replied, "Yes, my home is in a small county town below Beiling." ”

"Then why don't you come to Shanghai? Work hard and earn thousands a month, and you can still support your family. I have a way, if you are willing to come, start with 2,000 a month, and double it for the New Year. The second uncle obviously didn't understand the situation and took the initiative to come up with bad ideas.

"Oh! Hehe. Father Shen spoke at this time, although he didn't want to show off his momentum, but his pride was overflowing: "Gu Cheng, he is now opening a company with them, and the money he earns a day is not to mention tens of thousands." ”

"What?" The three relatives were shocked when they heard this, tens of thousands a day, wouldn't it be millions of assets a year? Tingting has found a good partner!

Seeing everyone's disbelieving eyes, Gu Cheng smiled and nodded: "Tingting will work with me, I am going to build a building recently, and I will get it when I go back after a while." It cost tens of millions. ”

Unbelief! Unbelief! This was the first feeling of the three elders. This kid must be slapping his swollen face and becoming fat. Maybe I usually pick the door more, and now I come to my father-in-law's house to charge a lot of money. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is not uncommon.

Gu Cheng doesn't care if others believe it or not, the Shen family's parents have seen cars and have eaten together. Naturally, you can distinguish between the real and the fake. A few people chatted for a long time, and it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, which was considered lunchtime. And Gu Cheng also went to Shen Ting's boudoir and met a group of overly lively younger brothers and sisters.

A table of banquets, a table of good dishes, are all their own family, even if there are some small problems, they smile and smile. Everyone gathered around the table, men drank, women and children coke, eating and drinking, lively and lively. A party was done. And Gu Cheng's courteous hospitality can be regarded as winning the recognition of everyone. If he is really Shen Ting's object, this is the time to come to the bitter end. Unfortunately, he is not.

After a night's rest, I thought about something else. Gu Cheng decided to get up and say goodbye, leaving Shen Ting at home to continue his vacation, and he was after a phone call. Go straight to Teacher Jiang Nanchun's home.

When he arrived at the teacher's door, Gu Cheng rang the doorbell, and he was very happy.

"It's coming, it's coming." With the answer, the door in front of Gu Cheng was opened, and inside was Teacher Jiang's wife, Yang Juan.

"Aunt Yang!" Gu Cheng hurriedly greeted.

"Oh! Gu Cheng, you're here, come in! Yang Juan smiled and took Gu Cheng into the house.

Entered the living room, changed into a pair of slippers, Gu Cheng didn't have anything, and then put the bag on the sofa, and then Yang Juan pointed to the study and said: "Your teacher Jiang is practicing calligraphy in it, and no one will disturb you the most, wait a minute, Auntie will pour you a glass of water to drink." ”

"Okay." Looking at the closed wooden door of the study, Gu Cheng nodded.

After about ten minutes, Gu Cheng heard a creak, and Jiang Nanchun came out of the study with a smile on his face.

"Come, Gu Cheng, look at what I wrote and give it to you." Jiang Nanchun was still holding a piece of rice paper in his hand.

"Hello teacher." Gu Cheng saluted first, and then looked at the typing on the paper, which turned out to be 'Pengcheng Wanli'. It's a good wish!

Jiang Nanchun sat down, and then continued: "It's good that you're here, there's been a mess recently, if it weren't for my old face, I think I would have criticized this group of dolls together in the world." Hey, today's children are really, and they don't want to read when they publish a book. If I left it at home, I would like to say it. ”

"Huh. Why should the teacher bother them, you must know that individuals have their own destiny. If you don't read now, you will regret it later. On the contrary, the unfavorable situation of public opinion needs to be reversed as soon as possible. Gu Cheng pointed to a pile of newspapers on the table. All of the sections above about teenage writers were drawn out and apparently carefully skimmed by the teacher.

Jiang Nanchun was well-informed, and it was impossible for him to be really angry, so he sighed a little and said: "Fortunately, I heard you say that your grades are very good, so you can participate in some activities and change everyone's prejudices." During this time, Shanghai TV has been matching, and several little dolls have agreed, do you want to participate. The teacher is really worried about them. ”

"Okay, teacher, that's what I'm here for." Gu Cheng agreed.

"That's good." Jiang Nanchun's heart was relieved: "If you want to participate in the book signing and sales these days, follow the people in the club." When the TV station comes out, it will naturally notify you. ”

After talking about this topic, Jiang Nanchun told Gu Cheng about the results of his novel: "By the way, the sales of your novels have been rising recently, and my group of buddies are now envious that I am old and old, and I still accept a good apprentice." Hehe. ”

"Oh? How many copies were sold? Gu Cheng also asked happily.

"Well, I think about it. According to the latest statistics last weekend, it seems to have passed a million. Jiang Nanchun closed his eyes and recalled.

"A million!?" Gu Cheng gasped, this can be regarded as a dominant-level sales! I haven't heard of anyone with this kind of data!

"Yes, one and two hundred thousand!" Jiang Nanchun opened his eyes: "Those few who dropped out of school are not as tall as you, hmph, they don't study hard, and it goes against my original intention of holding a competition." ”

Seeing Gu Cheng's disapproving expression, Jiang Nanchun smiled: "Do you think that my old man doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks!" ”

"Disciple doesn't dare!" Gu Cheng hurriedly shook his head.

"The teacher knows what you're thinking. Isn't it just a high school graduate even if you're a teacher? However, the times are different. Second, we need to consider the social impact of the matter. If you drop out of school if you like it, most of them will inevitably starve to death in the end, after all, only a few people can master this craft. Jiang Nanchun explained.

"Disciple understood!" Seeing that the teacher didn't care about his troubles, Gu Cheng immediately understood Jiang Nanchun's wishes.

It's just that I want to tap talents while trying to take care of both. The best of both worlds is rare in ancient and modern times, and most people will be at a loss for both.

It's just that these questions have nothing to do with Gu Cheng. He studied well and wrote strongly. The next step is to sign and sell books, and participate in the show to show off in style. The dilemma has nothing to do with him.

On this day, Gu Cheng lived in Jiang Nanchun's house. The teacher taught him many things, such as the situation of the domestic literary world, who has a good relationship with whom, which two do not look at each other, and the development of genres. In short, a lot of information that could not be seen in the newspaper was told to Gu Cheng. At this time, Gu Cheng can be regarded as integrated into this circle, the circle of writers in Huaguo, and there is a big backer behind him, which can be described as a rising star.

The next day, Gu Cheng accompanied Jiang Nanchun to the tender sprout magazine, and his arrival completely detonated the calm atmosphere of the magazine.

Xiao Zhou is a reviewer, and recently it was rumored that he was going to move and be upgraded to become a real editor. Everyone else is speculating about why, but only he knows it in his heart. All of this is thanks to Gu Cheng. It was he who personally selected Gu Cheng's original manuscript and handed it to Mr. Jiang. Recently, the crazy sales of Gu Cheng's novel "Da Ming" have made him a hero with many honors. That's why he smiles all day long, and he's happy to see everyone.

On this day, he entered the office, and not long after he sat down, he heard a commotion outside, and the sound of tickling came, both men and women, and suddenly there was a strangeness, and he was about to get up and go out, when he saw the door being opened, and his colleague Xiao Li's face flushed: "Brother Zhou, here, here." ”

"What's coming?" Xiao Zhou shook his head angrily, in the end, he was a young man, so uncalm.

He had forgotten that he had just washed off the color of the newcomer.

"Here we are." Xiao Li's not too big chest rose and fell, and he was excited: "Gu Cheng, he is the author of "Da Ming", Gu Cheng is here in the club. ”

"What!? Gu Cheng is here!? Xiao Zhou immediately stood up when he heard this, and rushed out of the office directly, only to find that the outside was already impassable, and the narrow corridor was full of colleagues with side heads, and Gu Cheng's appearance was like a superstar. Perhaps, for this group of cultural people, Gu Cheng is a superstar, and a book has laid the god position!

Gu Cheng followed Jiang Nanchun's side, smiling into the sprout magazine, compared to the obscurity when he came last time, now the scene can be described as very hot, the lively crowd of onlookers around, a pair of fiery eyes, pierced him very happy. Limited to psychological maturity, there is not much nervous and embarrassed feeling, and he smiles at the people around him kindly.

After entering Jiang Nanchun's office, he calmed down, Jiang Nanchun looked at Gu Cheng with a smile: "I didn't expect everyone to pay so much attention to you, I think when the teacher was young, the first famous book was just like this." Sit down, the editor-in-chief will be here soon. ”

Gu Cheng touched his head: "Where do you dare to compare with you, the teacher laughed." ”

Jiang Nanchun's eyes glared: "Why can't it be compared!" I'm very optimistic about you, and of course, you have to work hard yourself. Jiang Nanchun's only concern was his disciple's attitude towards writing, and judging from the reactions that were very different from others, Gu Cheng obviously didn't value this book. The rest of the little doll novels were released, and they were very happy, but Gu Cheng still called for a long time before he came.

"Huh!" Gu Cheng smirked.

After a while, the editor arrived, a middle-aged man with square eyes, surnamed Wang. As soon as Editor Wang entered the door, he greeted Jiang Nanchun: "Teacher Jiang." ”

"Editor Wang, tell this kid the specific arrangements." Jiang Nanchun said.

"Okay." Editor Wang lifted his glasses and stretched out his hand to shake Gu Cheng: "Hello, classmate Gu Cheng." ”

"Edit." Gu Cheng shook his hand, and then the two sat down. Editor Wang began to talk about the specific situation.

It turned out that Sprout Magazine did not only publish Gu Cheng's novel this spring, but obtained the qualification for publishing novels from last year's gang. It is better to select ten copies from them, and then release them together to form a scale effect. Of course, because of the advance prediction of specific content, there is a gap in the number of releases. Gu Cheng's novel "Da Ming" is naturally the most popular. And of the remaining nine books, some of them did not sell in the first edition, and some of them were published several times in a row.

According to market feedback, a round of book signing activities has begun vigorously. In Kyoto, in Shanghai, and in other wealthy big cities in China, the boys and girls who love it are running non-stop. And Gu Cheng will be the most critical member next, and he is bound to use him to stir up the Sprout Magazine and the Sprout Competition.

And about the unfavorable public opinion in China during this time, what to teach bad teenagers, what to encourage students to drop out, and so on. On the one hand, Sprout Magazine is making public relations through friendly media, and on the other hand, it is carefully preparing for a face-to-face debate. Let a few unruly boys and girls sort out right and wrong with a group of critics.

However, this idea had to be temporarily shelved because of the radical way of thinking of the teenagers. Because the magazine wants to have a good impact, not to slap itself in the face. Send a bunch of cynical teenagers to power, and you're really losing. Hearing about Gu Cheng's arrival, Editor Wang finally opened his mouth to invite.

"Well, after listening to so much. Join the debate! ”

Debate! Gu Cheng muttered to himself, but seeing the editor's sad face, the forty or fifty-year-old man was still so begging for himself, so he agreed: "Okay, debate and debate, I'm not afraid of anyone." ”

"Gu Cheng, don't worry. It's not the kind of debate competition of college competitions, but the host and guests will ask some questions, which is estimated to be a bit tricky. Editor Wang explained.

"It's fine. What about signing and selling books, I've been practicing signing at home for a long time. Gu Cheng joked.

Seeing Gu Cheng's readily agreed, without the slightest twist, Editor Wang was in a happy mood: "Okay, I'll contact the show over there." No preparation is required for book signings. If you want, you can start it at a university in Shanghai this afternoon. ”

"Okay!" When Gu Cheng heard this, he suggested: "Then let's start today and go to more cities." ”

Gu Cheng can think so, and the magazine is naturally very happy. It's not even ten o'clock now. Then the magazine was busy in an orderly manner, making banners and pictorials, and they didn't need many tools, not to mention being prepared, and the key was to negotiate with the local government.

The first stop is Huaguo Bookstore in Shanghai.

As the largest bookstore in Shanghai, customers are constantly coming from morning to night. The magnificent more than 10 floors, from astronomy to geography, from social sciences to humanities, from advanced philosophy to simple alphabet, can be said to be all-inclusive. According to reports, the Huaguo Bookstore in Shanghai is also the second largest bookstore in Huaguo, after the bookstore in Kyoto.

And Gu Cheng's signature position is in front of the popular novel column on the third floor, although it is a bit of a price drop to put an epoch-making masterpiece in a youth novel, but there is no way, Gu Cheng's background is the author of youth novels. When the staff of the bookstore and the magazine staff arranged the local scene together, Gu Cheng also sat on the chair and smiled at the little girl in front of him.

"You, are you Gu Cheng, the author of the novel "Da Ming"?" The girl is still about a high school student, about the same age as Gu Cheng, but in his eyes, this kind of expression is undoubtedly young.
