Chapter 336: Disparity
Because of Xia Keyu's words, Jin Zhu was not in a good mood for the rest of the trip.
Fortunately, the road was not far, and the plane landed not long after.
When she got off the plane, Jin Zhu once again rejected Xia Keyu's offer to arrange a hotel for her, saying that her hotel had already been booked.
And it was indeed booked.
The website has arranged for the editor in charge of Jinzhu to be responsible for the reception, and the other party promised to come to pick up the airport in person.
Jin Zhu's first novel made such a sensation, and it was a physical book and a script adaptation, so such a talent naturally has to be enveloped, otherwise wouldn't it be a loss to be poached by other websites?
Kang Xuexi heard that Jinzhu had booked a hotel, so he took the initiative to ask what hotel it was.
"I'm sorry, it was my friend who ordered it, and I don't know where it is, Mr. Kang can rest assured, he is a local and will come to pick up the airport." Jin Zhu was afraid that Kang Xuexi would pester her to ask something again, so she hurriedly brought out the editor-in-charge.
Kang Xuexi listened and stared at Jin Zhu for a few seconds, and didn't say anything, but when Jin Zhu was waiting for his luggage, he took the initiative to stand aside and accompany him, although Jin Zhu felt uncomfortable, he didn't say anything.
The group came out of the gate, and saw a short, yellow-haired man holding up a sign with the word "Zhuzhu" written on it.
Seeing this, Jin Zhu hurriedly pointed to the sign to Kang Xuexi, "I'm sorry, Mr. Kang, my friend picked me up, so I won't bother you." ”
Kang Xuexi looked at the man holding the sign, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Jin Zhu waved his hand to Kang Xuexi and Xia Keyu, dragged his luggage and walked over to the man, and stood in front of the man, only to find that this man seemed to be very young, he should be twenty-five or sixteen years old, is there such a young editor-in-charge?
Jin Zhu was looking at this man when the other party was also looking at her, because Jin Zhu brought him more shock than he brought Jin Zhu.
Because he and Jin Zhu have always been in contact with penguins, they haven't even made a phone call. So he always thought that the author was a man, after all, this kind of historical novel is still easier for men to control, and women's vision is narrower, unless it is a palace fight and a house fight.
But this "How Much Do You Know About the Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon" of Li Shimin obviously does not belong to Gong Dou. There are not only Li Shimin's magnificent life, but also many scenes of large-scale wars and battles in the previous dynasty, on the contrary, there are not many descriptions of the back and palace, and some of them also revolve around the battles of the previous dynasty.
How could such a novel be written by a woman, and still a woman who does not seem to be an adult. This is also too subversive of his cognition.
So both of them became suspicious of each other's identities.
"You're Zhuzhu?"
"Are you 'I'm a little bird'?"
They both asked at the same time.
This meeting scene was seen by Kang Xuexi, his brows were slightly knotted, it can be seen that Jin Zhu and this boy should be meeting for the first time, he said, if it is friends, how can the two not know each other, and they still need to hold up a sign when they take the plane?
But there is one thing he still doesn't understand, since it is the first time to meet, why is this man's pick-up card not written with the full name of Jin Zhu, but the word Zhuzhu?
In my impression. It seems that only Li Xiang would call Jin Zhu that, right?
And as far as he knows, Li Xiang went to Hengdian during this time, could it be that Li Xiang sent someone to pick up Jin Zhu?
But this doesn't make sense, even if Li Xiang sent someone to pick up Jin Zhu, he didn't need to tell an outsider about his nickname for Jin Zhu, right?
Nickname? By the way, the man asked Jin Zhu, "Are you Zhu Zhu?" Then Jin Zhu asked him what "little bird" he was, this name sounds like an Internet name, could it be that Jin Zhu is here to meet netizens?
Kang Xuexi couldn't figure it out, how could Jin Zhu come to meet netizens? And it's also a male netizen. She is an ancient person in her bones, she has only been in this time and space for a few years, and she has forgotten all the traditional education she received in ancient times?
Thinking of this, Kang Xuexi felt a wave of anger running through his heart. Coincidentally, at this time, the man stretched out his right hand to Jinzhu to shake Jinzhu's hand, and seeing that Jinzhu's hand was about to stretch out, Kang Xuexi didn't say a word, walked over and grabbed Jinzhu's hand and walked forward.
"Hey, Mr. Kang, what are you doing here? I can't go with you. My friend and I are on business. Jin Zhu staggered and followed Kang Xuexi a few steps, because she was carrying the suitcase in one hand and Kang Xuexi was holding her hand in the other.
But Kang Xuexi didn't listen to Jin Zhu at all, and still strode her forward.
Jin Zhu tried twice with one hand and didn't break away, hurriedly put down the suitcase in his right hand, and freed his other hand to break his fingers.
"This gentleman, hello, are we a little misunderstood, let me introduce myself first, I am the editor in charge of the Chinese website, my real name is Liang Dong, this Miss Zhuzhu's trip to the magic capital is accompanied by me throughout the whole process, we are on business, I am her editor, editor, editor."
Liang Dong saw the anger in Kang Xuexi's eyes, and he quickly guessed that the other party was jealous, so he quickly stepped forward to introduce himself.
Of course, at the same time as the introduction, he didn't take a look at Kang Xuexi, who made Kang Xuexi's aura too strong, this style and momentum, it is proper to be the fan of the domineering president, such a character is definitely not something that he, a small editor, can afford to offend.
Kang Xuexi was about to push away the man who was in the way, but he stopped when he emphasized that he was the editor of Jinzhu three times.
"Mr. Kang, I hope your subordinates will be merciful, can you let go of my hand first?" Jin Zhu didn't break free a few times, so he had to open his mouth to plead.
Kang Xuexi realized that he was holding Jin Zhu's hand, and hurriedly let go, and suddenly thought of something, lifted Jin Zhu's hand to take a look, and sure enough, there was an obvious dredging circle.
Looking at this dredging, Kang Xuexi was silent.
He was thinking back to what he had just done, and at the same time trying to calm his mood.
At that moment just now, he didn't know why, he would be so angry when he saw Jin Zhu wanting to shake hands with other boys, even if he wanted to be jealous, it should be Li Xiang to eat, what did he have to do with him Kang Xuexi?
Also, even if he has an inexplicable affection for Jin Zhu, it's not like he hasn't seen her and Li Xiang standing in front of him with their fingers clasped? Why didn't he react so much before, but this time he was so impulsive?
When will he Kang Xuexi be such an impulsive person?
"Mr. Kang, you are busy with you, I know that your time is precious, so I will not delay you. I do have something to talk about with this Mr. Liang Dong, and I have already made an appointment with Ah Xiang, who is filming in Hengdian. I'll come and meet me in a moment. Jin Zhu saw that Kang Xuexi finally let go of her, and hurriedly carried Li Xiang out, suggesting that she had a fiancé.
She didn't want to get involved with him.
"Where are the editors, what are you talking about?" Kang Xuexi looked at Liang Dong at this time, and directly ignored Jin Zhu's words.
Liang Dong hurriedly reintroduced his identity.
Kang Xuexi never reads any web novels. So he still had doubts about Liang Dong's identity, but he didn't ask anything more, but turned to Xia Keyu and asked Xia Keyu to stay and accompany Jin Zhu to Li Xiang to come back.
Jin Zhu was about to refuse, but Kang Xuexi dropped a sentence, "Either let Secretary Xia accompany you, or you will give up this trip to the Demon Capital." ”
Jin Zhu was about to ask, "Why?" But seeing the chill in Kang Xuexi's eyes, she compromised.
She absolutely believed that this Kang Xuexi would drag her with him again after she opened her mouth to reject him.
And Jin Zhu absolutely believes that he can't escape.
Of course, what Jin Zhu said couldn't escape was not that she subjectively wanted to compromise and get closer to Kang Xuexi. It's about the disparity in strength when it comes to resistance.
How to say that she also practiced twice in ancient times, ordinary men are not afraid to insult her Jinzhu, even people like Li Ruizhong wanted to take advantage of her when her thinking was confused last time, but she broke free in a few clicks......
But this Kang Xuexi is not.
Although the two have not officially fought each other, Jin Zhu feels that he is definitely a practitioner, and his kung fu is unfathomable, otherwise she tried her best to break away from him just now, but she didn't succeed in breaking away from one hand but injured her own hand, and the difference in strength is too great.
So the smart Jin Zhu didn't challenge Kang Xuexi's anger anymore, and after Kang Xuexi arranged for Xia Keyu to stay, he didn't entangle with Jin Zhu anymore. Left with two assistants first.
He did have business to talk about when he came to the Demon Capital this time, and the schedule was very tight, and he didn't have the extra time and mind to take care of Jinzhu's affairs, so he could only leave Xia Keyu behind. Because subconsciously, he was still afraid that Jin Zhu would be deceived.
Besides, Jin Zhu and Xia Keyu followed Liang Dong into the car, and the first thing Jin Zhu did after getting into the car was to send a text message to Li Xiang, asking him if he could take a day off to rush to the magic capital, and the details could only be said after meeting.
Li Xiang quickly replied to Jin Zhu with a "yes".
At the same time as Jin Zhu lowered his text message, Xia Keyu inquired about Liang Dong's identity clearly, and also knew that Jin Zhu came to the magic house this time to sign a contract with the publishing house and wanted to publish his online novel.
Liang Dong has seen Kang Xuexi's domineering. thought it was Jin Zhu's boyfriend, so he almost didn't need Xia Keyu to ask how to tell the two of them about the itinerary for the two days.
The company's arrangement is to let Jin Zhu meet with the people of Sanlian Publishing House first and agree on the contract, in fact, it is a formality, and the general signing conditions The company has reached an agreement with the publishing house, which is also recognized by Jin Zhu, so Liang Dong means that if Jin Zhu has no objection, the contract will be signed this time.
Because I got the contract of Sanlian Publishing House, I would have much confidence to talk to Zhang Xiaojie about the adaptation of the script, and the copyright fee would rise accordingly.
Jin Zhu nodded when he heard this, and did not object.
Since it is the legal income of her labor, there is no need for her to pretend to be high, the reason why she chose to cooperate with Sanlian Publishing House until now is actually to sell for a good price in order to wait for a price?
Liang Dong saw that Jin Zhu didn't raise any objections, so he asked Jin Zhu if he had ever been to the magic city, saying that he was going to take Jin Zhu to the magic capital, and asked Jin Zhu if he wanted to go anywhere, Jin Zhu thought for a while and proposed to go to the hotel first.
Liang Dongding's hotel is located near the most prosperous Bund in the area, standing on the balcony of the hotel room, you can overlook the entire Bund and the surrounding high-rise buildings.
It can be seen that Liang Dong's arrangement is made with heart.
After putting down the luggage, Jin Zhu found a reason to send Liang Dong away, and wanted to send Xia Keyu away together, but it was too difficult, so Jin Zhu didn't do delusion, but pulled Xia Keyu out of the hotel together, walked around the shopping mall near the Bund, and bought two clothes for tomorrow's guests.
For more than a year, because she is still in the hot filial piety, Jin Zhu's clothes are either black or white, or gray, even Jin Yang and a few of them are the same, and in order to fit her student status, her clothes are not too mature, they are all relatively naïve T-shirts and sweatshirts or down jackets, which are also disrespectful to the opponent when used to negotiate on formal occasions.
The last sentence was taught by Xia Keyu.
After the clothes were purchased, Jin Zhu invited Xia Keyu to have an authentic Western meal, and after the meal, the two walked around the Bund for a while, Jin Zhu received a call from Li Xiang and knew that he had arrived at the hotel, so he went home with Xia Keyu.
Seeing Xia Keyu, Li Xiang also understood the reason why Jin Zhu called him to come to the magic capital. So, the smart Li Xiang didn't wait for Jin Zhu to speak, so he stepped forward to thank Xia Keyu.
Xia Keyu didn't mention that Mr. Kang asked her to stay, and when she saw Li Xiang, she took her luggage and said goodbye after a few greetings.
As soon as Xia Keyu left, Jin Zhu told Li Xiang about the coincidence on the plane, and at the same time showed Li Xiang the bruises on her wrists, she wanted to hide it, but after a while, Li Xiang would definitely find out that he was now used to intertwining his fingers with Jin Zhu and was used to grinding with Jin Zhu's ears and temples, so instead of making him suspicious, it was better for Jin Zhu to confess.
Rao is like this, Li Xiang was still angry after hearing this, and took out his mobile phone to call Kang Xuexi, but was stopped by Jin Zhu.
"Ah Xiang, I didn't tell you this to make you impulsive, but I didn't want you to be suspicious, at that time he said that he was afraid that I would be dragged away by the editor, and he didn't mean anything else, but he was too strong and accidentally hurt me."
But this explanation is too pale for Li Xiang, because he knows that Kang Xuexi is by no means a nosy person, and he has shown favor to Jin Zhu several times before a fool will believe that he has no intentions.
"Don't worry, I'll try to avoid him in the future." Jin Zhu reached out and smoothed Li Xiang's frowning brow.
Of course, she also hopes that Li Xiang can stand up for her, but the problem now is that the other party did not show his hole cards and his purpose; The second is that the power ratio of the two parts is too disparity.
This disparity is not only the value of force, but also the family background, net worth and background, etc., if Li Xiang is against him at this time, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
This is by no means the result that Jin Zhu wants.
What they can do now is to quietly accumulate their strength without provoking the other party, and then find an opportunity to stay away from him as soon as possible.
