Zhou Ji Tea Restaurant, on the second floor by the window, Makuro sat quietly, looking at the busy street outside. In the morning, he made an appointment with Zhou Huimin to meet here at 11 o'clock, and Mucheng came over early to pick the position, and Uncle Zhu was sent back by him. I made an appointment with other girls to meet, it's not good to take Uncle Biao with him, it's okay for him to stay alone, it's better to let him go back to accompany Aunt Biao first.

Zhou Huimin was dressed in casual clothes today, looking fresh and refined, just finished the last lesson of that child, and saw that the time was almost eleven o'clock, so he trotted to Zhou Ji Tea Restaurant.

I still have a certain good impression of Su Mucheng, a new friend and former life-saving benefactor, of course, it is only a good impression at present.

Maybe it's because of gratitude, after the last contact, I feel that this person is very personable, and he looks handsome, and I didn't find any bad habits of a rich boy on him, exuding a calm temperament. People will unconsciously have a sense of trust in them, and they will accept the other party's invitation.

You must know that Zhou Huimin's family background is still very ordinary. She is the mother of an advanced child, and she has been dependent on her mother since she was a child, so Zhou Huimin has been very sensible since she was a child, she was well-behaved and clever when she was a child, and she began to take the initiative to help her mother share housework when she was a little older.

Ever since my mom knew that she liked music and found that the talent was not bad. I did a few more jobs to buy myself a piano, although I couldn't afford to hire a music teacher to teach specially, but Zhou Huimin still relied on her talent, studied very hard and learned quite well. Since the year before last, with a good piano level of self-study, I began to go out to teach, and more or less reduced the burden on my family.

Because he was sensible early, and he looked pure and cute, he had more or less experience. I have also encountered a lot of people of all kinds, although the appearance is lovely and lovely, giving people a feeling of weakness, but the surname is still very strong and strong.

For those lights, I see it very thoroughly. For those who have nothing to do, they are all respectful. If Su Mucheng gave her a very good sense, let alone this meeting, he would not have been allowed to send her home at all last time, even if his legs were inconvenient, he would not have taken care of him.

"Ah Cheng!" Zhou Huimin went up to the second floor of the restaurant and saw Mucheng sitting by the window, looking out of the window with stunned eyes, and couldn't help shouting.

"Ahh Amin, you're here. Mu Chengwu was in a daze, and only came back to his senses when he heard the shouting, and turned his head to see Zhou Huimin standing in front of him, with the afterglow of the freshly exercised on his face, and his face was slightly reddened and hurriedly said, "Don't stand, sit down." As he spoke, he stood up and pulled up the chair opposite him for Zhou Huimin to sit down.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Thank you, I want a cup of Shuangxi milk tea." Zhou Huimin said softly

"Okay, the waiter will have two cups of Shuangxi milk tea." Makujo beckoned to the waiter and shouted, "By the way, let's order the signature snacks from the store." ”

"Today's class is over." Makujo asked casually

"Hmmm! Today is the last time, and it's all over. ”

At this time, the waiter brought milk tea, two cages of xiaolongbao, and a few plates of pastries. Makujo clipped some to Zhou Huimin, picked up the milk tea and said with a smile:

"Let's eat something first! I heard that the xiao long bao here is a must! ”

Well! Zhou Huimin picked up the xiaolongbao and took a small bite with her mouth slightly open, and said approvingly. Not bad indeed. After eating, he picked up the milk tea and gestured to Makujo and said:

"On the phone the day before yesterday, you said that your novel has started to be serialized. I went out today to buy a copy, this newspaper is a bestseller, congratulations in advance! As he spoke, he touched the cup and took a sip.

"Thank you!" Makujo also took a sip of milk tea and said. "What's next, or do you want to work part-time?"

"No, it's over when I'm done today. I want to be a singer, and I have two months left to practice at home, and I plan to participate in this year's Rookie Singer Competition. ”

"Really!" Thinking back to the memory in his mind, Zhou Huimin did participate in the rookie competition this year, but he didn't get any good rankings.

"It's good to be part of this competition, but did you ever think it would be very competitive? Of course, I'm not saying that you can't, it's just that the rookie competition has been very good these days, and many of the participants have already signed a secret contract with the company or have sufficient singing experience, and others will have a much greater chance than you. ”

Zhou Huimin is actually quite helpless, but her own conditions are like this, and she can't help it, but she still said very firmly: "I also know that I have some shortcomings, but I still want to try." ”

Seeing Zhou Huimin's firmness on his face, Makujo thought about it, since others had already decided, then help if they could, and it would be good to take fewer detours, so he looked up at Zhou Huimin seriously and said:

"Since you have already decided for yourself, I will definitely support you. There are still nearly 3 months before the competition, and I will arrange some professional teachers to train you in a few days, so that the opportunity will be greater. ”

Seeing that Zhou Huimin was about to refuse, he continued: "We are friends, and you know my general situation." And I also plan to develop in the entertainment industry, but not singing, but making movies. You can see this as a friend's help and investment, and I hope that you will help me make a few movies when you become famous, and I will thank you when the time comes. ”

Looking at Makucheng's undeniable eyes, Zhou Huimin opened her mouth, but the words still didn't come out, thinking about it, she was still a little moved in her heart.

I've talked about the family background of Makujo before.,I probably still know.。 For other rich sons like him, they really want to be greedy for beauty, as long as they have money, they are still worried that they can't find it, even if they find some famous stars, it is not rare. Although he still had some concerns in his heart, he said it all the same, and it was not easy to say what he refused.

Seeing that Zhou Huimin was still a little hesitant, Makucheng also knew her worries, and said sincerely:

"I can say that you are a friend in Hong Kong right now. Now that you are in trouble, and I have the ability to help you with a little favor, I will naturally help to the end. ”

"I know your surname is strong, but think about it, if you can really succeed, you can move out of the house with your aunt at that time, and your aunt has worked hard for most of her life, and when the time comes, you can buy a good house and let your aunt enjoy it. When you become famous, you will know that what I helped today is actually nothing, and this is really not a difficult thing for me, just a gesture. ”

"It's such a simple thing, what else do you have to worry about, do you dislike me、、、" Seeing that Zhou Huimin still didn't agree, Makujo couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, he just couldn't bear to want to help, but the other party was still unmoved, and Makujo's face couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"No, no, thank you so much, I just don't know what to say."

Listening to Makujo's sincere words, Zhou Huimin was indeed a little moved, and after hearing the next words, he couldn't help but hurriedly said when he looked at Makujo's sincere face and turned a little lost.

"You agreed, that's right. Actually, it's not a difficult thing. Hearing Zhou Huimin's words, Makujo couldn't help but feel a little better and said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Zhou Huimin said with an embarrassed red face, her eyes full of sincerity.

"Well, nothing to be polite about. Now that we've agreed, let's go. Smiling, Mujo stood up and said.

"Where to go? Go to my house! ”

"To your house?" Zhou Huimin couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't understand what was going on.

Makujo couldn't help but sigh and explained with a smile: "You can't have a place to ask a few teachers to teach." Besides, I also want to learn more by the way, I have a lot of things there, if you don't go to recognize a door, how will you find it when the time comes. ”

Oh! Zhou Huimin couldn't help but be even more embarrassed, her flushed face was almost down to her chest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since taking Zhou Huimin home that day, Makujo contacted several music teachers that afternoon. About a week later, I joined the learning phase with Zhou Huimin.

Of course, Makucheng is not as invested as Zhou Huimin. After all, he has other things to deal with, but this also shocked several teachers and Zhou Huimin, who sighed that he has good talent and it is a pity that he doesn't plan to be a singer. Makujo responded with a smile, just entertaining himself, mainly considering the film industry. Several people were speechless one after another, but Zhou Huimin worked harder, she didn't want to be as good as Su Mucheng's amateur in the future.

After a few days of such a busy day, the street of Makujo called the editor-in-chief of Ming Pao Zhou. Ask him to meet again to discuss the issue of remuneration. But this time, we met at a western restaurant in Lan Kwai Fong in Central.

Mingbao martial arts and history have been busy these days. Since the beginning of the serialization of the Heroes, there has been no angel with less than 200,000 copies, but the entire martial arts and history editorial department has been happy, and this amazing sales have alarmed Jin Yong, who has just returned.

After Jin Yong came back to know the situation, he took a manuscript from the editorial department and looked at it with surprise. After reading it, it was also written with a sigh, saying that it had "the wind of the Qingming Riverside Map".

Zhou Minqiang also waited for Jin Yong's affirmation, and hurriedly talked to Jin Yong about the issue of remuneration and the author's situation. Jin Yong, who has always been known as stingy, was also rare and generous, and waved his hand and gave two words and one yuan manuscript fee. Although the manuscript fee for writing reviews is higher than that of Jin Yong Gulong, in terms of writers' manuscript fees, it is also first-class and nearly top at this time.

Makujo arrived at Jiale Western Restaurant, reported his name and was led into the box by the waiter.

"Mr. Su, you're here, please take a seat." Seeing Su Mucheng coming in, Zhou Minqiang, who was sitting upright, immediately got up and welcomed.

Makujo sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, looked at Zhou Minqiang and said with a smile: "Seeing that Editor-in-Chief Zhou's face is full of joy, I think it's a good sales to come to Ming Pao." ”

Looking at the young man in front of him, handsome is not a calm temperament, thinking about the current popularity of martial arts and history, I can't help but admire a little in my heart, young and talented! Hearing Makujo's words, he couldn't help but say, "What's the name of the editor-in-chief, if you don't mind, call me Uncle Qiang." I'm old, so you don't mind. ”

I thought that it would be good to have a good relationship now, and Zhou Minqiang, a talent like this, was also willing to make friends.

"Well, then I'll climb high, Uncle Qiang." Seeing Zhou Minqiang's good intentions, Makucheng also took over the pole.

"What can't be climbed, I'm just a little older than you, a talent like you, Uncle Qiang may have to rely on you to help him." Zhou Minqiang said happily.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, thanks to you, our editorial office is in the limelight. The current sales volume is much higher than that of other publications in Ming Pao, and even the boss has paid attention to this matter, and your kid has written really well. Thinking of the current circulation, Zhou Minqiang praised Makujo without hesitation.

"Regarding your remuneration, our boss, Mr. Jin Yong, has been specially approved! You look at this contract and sign it if it's appropriate. As he spoke, he handed out the new contract and put it in front of Makujo, motioning for him to take a look.

Makujo opened it and looked at it, except for the different figures of the manuscript fee, nothing else has changed. I saw that the contract was written with a remuneration of 500 yuan for 1,000 words, and Ming Pao was authorized to exclusively serialize. Makujo didn't have too many requirements for the remuneration, as long as he felt that it was about the same, so he simply signed.

Seeing that Makujo signed, Zhou Minqiang finally settled down, after all, if he was not satisfied with the remuneration, there would be trouble next. The next thing is for the two to talk about family life, and they sat for half an hour before leaving.
