Two hours later, the gorilla's home.

"Qiao Chau, do you have Li Congxin's contact number there, if you have it, give it to me immediately!"

The gorilla, who was sitting on the sofa in Ge You's paralyzed posture and watching the basketball league TV broadcast with relish, was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a smug smile on his face: "Dad, you have finished reading that kid's manuscript, so you are going to scold him for wasting your precious time?" ”

"No!" The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I'm going to talk to him about publishing." ”

The gorilla was stunned when he heard this, it stands to reason that he had a preconceived impression before, even if Li Congxin's writing was passable, old Cook would only see the shortcomings, and now seeing his father with such a solemn appearance, could he say: "That kid's writing is very good?" ”

Old Cook shook his head again, and then explained under his son's puzzled gaze: "A really good book can make people never get tired of reading it, and every time you read it, you can have a different experience, and this "Breaking the Sky" has not been able to do this, I just read it twice, this is because of the professional quality, otherwise I will definitely not read it a second time." ”

"Then why are you ......?"

Faced with the gorilla's question, Cook Sr. waved his hand to stop him from continuing: "Although I don't want to read his book a second time, I really want to see the rest of it!" ”

"You know what?" Speaking of this, the old Cook Sr. had an irrepressible look of excitement on his face: "I have been an editor in a publishing house for many years, and I have read countless manuscripts, but such a strong sense of expectation has never been seen before, this is the first time, the first time!" ”

"Oh, you know what? In this book, I saw a huge business opportunity! ”

"I can assert that if Clark's book Breaking the Sky had been written at this pace, it would have sold a hundred, if not a thousand, times as many as those award-winning works, although it would not have been able to communicate with any literary awards!"

The gorilla was stunned: "It's like a literary film and a commercial film in a movie?" ”

"That's what it means!" Old Cook couldn't help but be excited: "Your description is so apt, this book "Breaking the Sky" is a commercial film in the novel!" This is an opportunity, and I have to hold it in my hands! If I really threw this manuscript in his face as I told you before, I'm afraid it won't be long before I become the laughing stock of the industry, and my future will be completely buried! ”

"So, Chaucer." Old Cook looked at the gorilla seriously and said, "Try to get along with Clark, according to your previous description, you started this matter first, didn't you?" ”

After listening to Old Cook's words, the gorilla could only say helplessly: "I'll try my best." I remember that the school's address book seems to have his contact number, you wait, I'll look for it. ”

Watching the gorilla turn back to his room to find the address book, old Cook suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something, so he quickly opened the address book on his mobile phone, quickly found a phone, and dialed it as soon as possible.

"Hey! Is it Eddie Reporter who specializes in Chinatown reporting? I'm Cook, and I'd like to ask you about it......"

………………

In a Western restaurant not far from the Martha Fitness Club, Li Congxin and Marcus sat opposite each other after ordering.

Marcus was the first to speak to break the silence: "I'm sorry, Clark, I messed up both of the things you asked me to do. I didn't expect you and Cook's son to have such a big conflict at school, but I don't blame you for this, I'll help you contact other friends after that guy answers tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Marcus, then." Li Congxin smiled sincerely.

But the more he did this, the more Marcus felt sorry for the child: "As for learning martial arts, I really don't have any way to do it here, after all, among the friends I know, all those who have learned martial arts are basically colleagues in the police department." And you don't want to be a police officer, so ......"

"Male shrimp, I celebrate in person, the fairy donkey on the top of the hoof......"

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Li Congxin showed an apologetic smile to Marcus, and then connected the phone: "Hello! …… It's Uncle Cook, hello! ”

Hearing that the call was from Cook, Marcuston was shocked, and there was a little anticipation in his eyes.

At this time, I heard Li Congxin continue to say on the phone: "If you save the manuscript, I currently have about 600,000 words in my hand...... 300,000 words per volume, one volume per month? No problem! I wrote all of these manuscripts within a month, and I can definitely keep up with the progress of the follow-up. Okay, let's meet and talk about the specific contract...... I've always had time for the summer holidays...... Tomorrow morning, is it? No problem! ”

While making a phone call, Li Congxin didn't forget to make a grimace at Marcus in front of him, and then made an "OK" gesture.

Marcus felt a sigh of relief when he saw this, but at this time, he saw Li Congxin who was on the phone, and suddenly was stunned, and then his eyes lit up and said, "This is really good!" …… Then I'm here to thank Uncle Cook in advance. Good...... As you said, we'll talk tomorrow morning after we meet, bye-bye! ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Congxin couldn't help but say excitedly: "Uncle Marcus, Uncle Cook not only agreed to help me publish "Breaking the Sky", but also helped me contact a friend who is a reporter in Chinatown and recommended me the best local martial arts gym. ”

"At present, there are three martial arts halls in Chinatown, in fact, although the things taught by everyone are different on the surface, it is difficult to distinguish which is better and which is inferior, but one of them lives a senior celebrity who has a very high status in the martial arts world, and from time to time will give a few words to the students who look good, which is an advantage that the other two martial arts halls do not have."

"And Uncle Cook introduced me to this martial arts hall!"

"Now all the problems have been solved in one go!" Speaking of this, Li Congxin couldn't help but smile: "Speaking of which, this is also the credit of Uncle Marx." If you hadn't introduced Uncle Cook to me, how could things have gone so smoothly? ”

"Less of this!" Marcus scolded with a smile: "I know very well who that guy Cook is, with his unprofitable character, if your writing is very average, he can at most hand in your manuscript for review in our face, and everything according to the process is the limit." ”

"And now he not only took the initiative to negotiate with you for publication, but also diligently helped you ask about learning martial arts, as if he was afraid that you would run away."

"I can only think of a reasonable explanation for this, that is, your book has opened his eyes to huge business opportunities, and it has little to do with my face."

Li Congxin wanted to be polite again, and by the way, he blew a wave of business to each other, but suddenly heard a familiar text message prompt.

After picking up the phone and taking a look, Li Congxin smiled: "The address has been sent." Nalan Martial Arts Pavilion, I'll go and see it after eating in a while. ”

"I'll drive you."
