Chapter 35: The Momentum of the Encirclement
When the woman saw Xiang Shuai coming out of retreat, she smiled and said, "Mr. Song, don't leave today, I'll go buy some food later." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"No, you don't." Xiang Shuai said with a smile, "Today's big event has been accomplished, it just so happens that Brother Song is also here, I want to go out with him for a drink, you can get some at home, don't worry about us." ”
Song Xiao saw that Xiang Shuai was the same as before, presumably the draft of the novel had been completed, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, just accompany Mr. Xiang to have two drinks, by the way, Li Yu and they are also there, during this time, they went to visit Mr. Xu Zhenya, Mr. Zhou, Zhou Shoujuan, these people, but they have not come to visit you, I deeply regret that this retreat came out, and I just called them to come over for a gathering, they are very worshipful of Mr. Xiang." ”
Song Xiao said with a smile that this time the "World Journal" and the "Shanghai Daily" will have a tendency to encircle "Zero", and Yongsheng will definitely not be able to turn over with only one copy of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", even if he adds a copy of "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", it will not be able to change this situation. Two years ago, Xiang Shuai broke the situation that the southern novel market was dominated by the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly faction with a copy of "Jianghu Wonder", which made Xu Zhenya, Zhou Shoujuan, Bao Tianxiao, Li Hanqiu and other old romance novel writers very admired.
Before, when Song Xiao, Li Yu, and Zhou Siyu went to visit these Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School writers, they mentioned the replacement of the Southern Sect Grandmaster. These old writers all let Li Yu and Song Xiao not worry too much, Jiang is still old and spicy, so that they believe that Xiang Shuai and Yongsheng are just a non-linear phenomenon.
Soon, dozens of people appeared in a restaurant, Xiang Shuai was in a very good mood today, so in order to pick up the wind and wash the dust for these juniors, he specially chose the most luxurious compartment on the top of the restaurant, during this time Xiang Shuai was diligent in retreat, but he neglected to take care of these juniors, if it was passed to the north, Zhao Huanting, Xinyuan brothers, Zhang Dong These old friends are afraid to say that they are arrogant.
During this time, the sudden appearance of this mediocre student disturbed Xiang Shuai's state of mind, and if he continued to reluctantly write "Jianghu Hero", he could only let himself fall deeper and deeper under the oppression of Yongsheng. simply finished "Jianghu Heroes" directly and started the creation of "Jianghu Heroes", and at the same time let Song Xiao, a descendant of the posterity, go to "Shanghai Daily" to write "Strange People", which put huge pressure on mediocrity. Now it seems that this kind of plan has achieved unprecedented success, and when I came out today, I met the group of people I met in the "hearsay" teahouse before, and they didn't grow in their mouths, and they chatted about it all day long, but they were all looking forward to the next plot of his "Jianghu Heroes".
The retreat made him change his mind, and he already looked down on fame and fortune. It's just that Yongsheng made him suffer humiliation before, he has to pay back twice, and this time he must completely defeat Yongsheng until he perishes.
Xiang Shuai raised his wine glass, drank it all, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, I retreated, and I didn't take care of you in time, I will punish myself with a glass, haha, don't tell those old stubborns in Beiping when the time comes." Xiang Shuai was overjoyed to see these young talents in front of him, Xiang Shuai himself likes to be quiet, so except for a few apprentices who learned martial arts when he was in his hometown, he has never accepted an apprentice who writes novels. From the bottom of his heart, Xiang Shuai is very kind to these writers, and of course he takes care of them, but this time the situation is special.
Song Xiao hurriedly stood up, raised his wine glass and said, "How can it be true, we people are also here to play in Shanghai, but we can't delay Mr. Xiang's affairs, so I can't say that I can't take care of it." And during this time, Mr. Xiang came out of retreat, and the novel has been written, so we should congratulate him even more, and I propose that everyone come together to pay tribute to Mr. Xiang. ”
Li Yu also smiled: "Mr. Xiang, I don't write martial arts novels, don't be surprised to come to dinner today." ”
Zhou Siyu pursed his lips and smiled: "Mr. Xiang is also famous in our master's mouth for taking care of us little students, how can he mind if we rub rice." ”
Xiang Shuai heard the words of the two little girls beside him, and he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your master and I are also friends, calling me brothers, you can call me uncle or uncle, what is it to have a meal." ”
Li Yu and Zhou Siyu said sweetly: "Uncle Shi is good." ”
In addition to these few people who Xiang Shuai knew before, the rest of them also introduced themselves, and nodded to Xiang Shuai to confirm: "I heard your master say that the future life is terrifying, haha." ”
"Seniors are always seniors." Everyone toasted Xiang Shuai.
Everyone was eating vegetables and chatting at the same time, and everyone couldn't help but talk about mediocrity. Because they had only come to Shanghai before, when they were at the City God Temple, Lu Yan received them, and then a friend of Lu Yan came, who claimed to be a mediocre student. And after that, I heard from the little guy over there that the Southern Sect Sect had changed people, so they hurriedly wanted to find Xiang Shuai to confirm the matter, but that time Xiang Shuai retreated, and everyone didn't see it. After that, everyone was busy visiting the Mandarin Duck Butterfly and sending those masters, and only Song Xiao had seen Xiang Shuai twice.
"Yongsheng is the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinglong Newspaper's novel newspaper "Zero", Yan Buwen?" Xiang Shuai asked, Hearing these juniors, you are the same as me, mentioning Yongsheng, Xiang Shuai suddenly asked, I haven't heard Song Xiao say it.
Song Xiaodao: "When I went to Mr. Xiang's side before, you were busy asking me to contact Kang Yang, so I forgot about this matter, but it is okay, now I see that the momentum of Yongsheng has decreased, and it is not a threat to you, we are overly nervous." ”
Li Yu said with a smile: "I just arrived in Shanghai, we are not familiar with life, and it is easy to be misled, so please don't care about it." ”
Zhou Siyu said: "Sister Yu and I often hear from the master that the martial arts of the southern school are the only ones who are born alone. ”
Fang Bai also said: "That's right, my master Zhang Dong also said that the original "Jianghu Heroes" had a martial arts craze, and even Mr. Zhao Huanting and Mr. Zhao were all juniors, not to mention us rising stars. ”
Song Xiao saw that Fang Bai mentioned his master, but found that Fang Bai's words obviously belittled his master and exalted Xiang Shuai, the original intention may not be harmful, but this method is too inferior, so Song Xiao said: "Not only my master Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhang Dongzhang, and Mr. Miao Shengmiao are also the descendants of Mr. Xiang. ”
Fang Bai saw that Song Xiao's face was displeased, so he hurriedly snorted, saying that he was open-mouthed.
Mr. Xiang said with a smile: "Now the influence of public opinion in the newspaper is too great, and listening to the wind is rain, it is normal for you to think so." Zhao Huanting, Zhang Dong, and Miao Sheng are all my friends, not to mention the next generation, everyone is a writer, and there is no need to compare who is higher and who is lower. ”
"Sir's measurements are worth learning from." The crowd flattered.
Xiang Shuai smiled, but muttered in his heart, don't you listen to it? Vulgar? Not long ago, Kang Yang, the general manager of Shanghai Daily, contacted him, and at that time, the sales of "Zero Point" were climbing all the way, and there was a trend of surpassing "Shanghai Daily" and "World Journal". So Xiang Shuai knew what Kang Yang meant when he came to him, and he just wanted to ask him to write a novel in "Shanghai Daily", just in case. Kang Yang has deeply felt the sense of oppression of "Zero Point", and he also weighed the pros and cons for Xiang Shuai. In the end, Xiang Shuai agreed to Kang Yang's request and proposed his own idea, and Song Xiao's "Strange People" was published. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and it is impossible for there to be two grandmasters in the south.
