Chapter 266: Arrange a Signing Meeting?
Tang Mingyao woke up early in the morning and found an unread text message on his phone.
When I opened it, it was sent by Luo Wenxi at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the content in it was:
[I'm home, good night!] Husband~】
Yesterday in the cafeteria, the girl couldn't shout the title, she finally sent it in text.
Tang Mingyao imagined her expression when she typed these two words, and felt that she was full of motivation to get up early to read.
He pressed his fingers on the keyboard and replied with a message:
"Last night, I wanted to wait for you to get off the plane and make a phone call before going to sleep, but I fell asleep. Good morning, wife. ”
After typing, I suddenly felt that the last two words were a little numb, so I deleted them, hesitated, and added them back again, and clicked send.
The two have been together for almost three years, and there has been no change in the question of how to call them.
On more formal occasions, call each other by name, and if it is more intimate in private, omit the title and speak directly to the other person.
This mode of dialogue is not deliberately done by anyone, but they get along naturally.
Tang Mingyao didn't think there was anything wrong before.
It wasn't until Luo Wenxi painted that painting yesterday that he realized that the two seemed to be a little too "old husband and wife", with neither a nickname other than a name, nor a "nickname" exclusive to each other, which was a little less romantic.
Although the title of "husband and wife" is a bit numb, Tang Mingyao feels that its appearance is a good thing, filling in the details that have not been taken into account before.
When getting along with lovers, shouting exclusive nicknames is completely different from ordinary casual shouting.
For example, Luo Wenxi called him: "Tang Mingyao, give me the bowl." Or: "Give me the bowl." ”
It's like "Husband, hand me the bowl." "It's a completely different feeling.
Normal people prefer the latter title.
Tsk, intimacy is a big deal.
As soon as he went out with the book, he received a text message from Luo Wenxi: "I'm up and going to class!" ”
Tang Mingyao asked her with concern if she had slept well when she went home so late, chatted a few words about her daily life, and then told her to remember to read the letter and newspaper box when she went home these days, so she put away her mobile phone, went downstairs and hugged the English dictionary and began to memorize it wildly.
Jinghua University has a fourth-level exam in the first year, in June next year.
And at the end of next year, there will be a sixth-grade exam that will follow.
Tang Mingyao feels that his current level, it is no problem to pass the fourth level, but he has to make more preparations, lay a solid foundation, and strive to pass the sixth level at one time at the end of next year, that is, in the first semester of his sophomore year.
Of course, he is not all preparing for this, in addition to the exam, he also has a purpose - to read the original English books.
During this time, he read all philosophy books, all in Chinese, and he could not use English for the time being, but the two English books of Senior Sister He Ning before gave him a deep impression, and in the recent communication with Senior Sister, she also clearly told him that if you want to learn this subject deeply, you must be proficient in English.
Because the more authoritative works are all in English, and not reading the original English version is tantamount to turning away the most valuable knowledge.
Therefore, Tang Mingyao's goal in reading English is to master the ability to read the original English books of psychology without barriers during his university years.
This is much more demanding than only asking for four or six levels!
Learning English every day is imperative.
The freshman class schedule is very tight, and after reading English, it is followed by a full day of classes, and even two electives in the evening.
After going to school, I returned to the dormitory at 8 o'clock in the evening, did a simple wash, took out my notebook, and continued to write a new book.
"We Are All a Wounded Generation", the story follows the perspective of the male protagonist Yuan Jiang, who found that Wang Xiaoyu's family is very bad during the investigation, his father is a moody man, often abuses his mother, and occasionally beats Wang Xiaoyu, which makes Wang Xiaoyu live in dire straits.
But this beautiful girl has always been gentle and kind in front of her partners, and when she occasionally mentions the family, she only talks about her mother's goodness, and never mentions her father's cruelty.
Yuan Jiang felt very sorry for this beloved girl and felt that he had to save Wang Xiaoyu.
In the process of investigation, his behavior was discovered by one of his friends, Li Ze, who was also a boy in their small group who had a good impression of Wang Xiaoyu and was a strong competitor to Yuan Jiang.
But this time, they did not start infighting, but agreed on a goal together, to save Wang Xiaoyu first.
The next plot is the story of how the two come up with ideas to help the girl fight against her parents.
And because of this incident, Yuan Jiang often couldn't go home on time, and his parents felt that he was learning badly, so his parents, who were strict with him since he was a child, became more and more strict with him.
How strict is it? The time to go home every day must be accurate to the minute.
As soon as the alarm clock rang, I didn't get home, and it was a meal.
The ubiquitous control of his parents stimulated Yuan Jiang's rebellious psychology, so he was involved in his own confrontation with his parents.
The whole book is roughly a complete story about the confrontation between the hero and heroine and their parents.
From discovery, to outbreak, to reconciliation.
Interspersed with the encounters of some supporting characters.
The idea is clear and the main line is clear.
Ready, Tang Mingyao writes quickly, taking the time to write thousands of words every day, and the time is in November, and most of the writing has been completed.
The remainder is expected to be completed within the next month.
While writing, he did not forget the things he set for himself on the National Day.
Take ten minutes a day to write a letter to Luo Wenxi.
The content is not much, maybe it is just a few words of longing, maybe it is just a little joke, not limited to form and content.
For example, after lunch at noon today, Tang Mingyao took out the letter paper in the bedroom, spread it out and wrote:
"I see the wind, it is your likeness.
I see clouds, and they are like you.
I saw the girl walking in front of me, and she was also like you.
I happily stepped forward and called your name.
The girl turned around and said, "Classmate, you recognize the wrong person." ”】
I put the letter in an envelope and just went downstairs to the school's mailbox when I suddenly received a strange phone call.
"Hello Mr. Tang, I am Su Xing, and the Hubei Provincial Education Publishing House is responsible for the publication and editing of your "Immortal Dao Vastness".
Being called Mr. Tang, Tang Mingyao is a little unaccustomed to it, because in his past life and this life, no one has called him that for a long time.
"Hello Editor Su, I know you. Can I help you? ”
"That's right, the first three volumes of your "Immortal Dao" have been published for a while, and the response and sales in the market are very good, and we are going to launch the fourth volume at the beginning of next month, and the publisher means that I want to arrange a few signing sessions, I don't know if it is convenient for you?"
"Signing sessions?"
Tang Mingyao was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you want to do with this signing meeting?" ”
"The publisher means to sign ten sales first, and then go to the first-tier cities and the more important second-tier cities across the country. But also ask what you mean, we arrange it according to your schedule. ”
Tang Mingyao refused without hesitation: "Ten is too much, I'm still studying, I don't have so much time to do a signing meeting, I can accept it within three." ”
"Okay, then let's arrange three first."
So easy to talk to? I said three games, three games?
Tang Mingyao pondered for a moment, and then made a request: "I am in the capital, can I arrange them all in the surrounding areas?" ”
"If there are only three games, it is best to arrange them all in first-tier cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, so as to maximize the role of the signing meeting."
That's it.
How is it possible that whatever I say is what it is?
Then I negotiated with the other party for a while and decided on a preliminary process.
Hanging up the phone, Tang Mingyao still felt a little unreal.
When did you reach the point where you could hold a book signing?
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and in this life, he wrote a few books with the advantage of rebirth, and he went higher and higher step by step, and every month he saw the manuscript fee (royalty) from thousands, to tens of thousands, to hundreds of thousands, more and more, and the sales data also climbed layer by layer...... He knows that he is becoming more and more successful, but money and sales, presented in front of him are always numbers, always separated by a layer.
It wasn't until he received the call at this time that he finally woke up a little.
It turns out that I have reached this level.
