Chapter 198: The Gate to the New World
"Do you have a class in the morning?"
"Nope. But before noon, I will accompany Jiang Xiu to the study room to review a little. ”
"In this way, it seems that we only have time to eat breakfast in a hurry." It had just snowed yesterday, and the snow that had not yet melted was clinging to the road, very slippery, Xu Huaisheng took Zhongyi's hand and walked forward cautiously.
Zhongyi pulled on his scarf, covering half of his face that had been blown by the cold wind, revealing a pair of wet and bright eyes. She pretended to raise her wrist stiffly, glanced at the time on her watch, and grinned: "From half past seven to eleven, the time is not short." ”
"Just in case, it's too short." Xu Huaisheng's low and clean voice sounded in Zhong Yi's ears, wrapping the big palm of her small hand, and gently rubbing her clean fingertips with his fingertips: "Your roommates may come out at any time to make trouble and disrupt my plans." ”
Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, the two of them had breakfast and the group of "professional housemates" who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic had a half-dime relationship? Obviously they couldn't get in touch, Xu Huaisheng stubbornly put them together as "disrupting his plan".
"What's the plan?" Zhong Yi asked deliberately pretending to be stupid.
Xu Huaisheng hooked his lips and smiled, raised his other hand and patted her head, "There is no appetite for breakfast in the cafeteria, let's go eat outside." ”
Walking into the restaurant, Xu Huaisheng thoughtfully helped her untie the thick woolen scarf wrapped around her neck twice and put it on her arm. After the baptism of heating up to the fullest, Zhong Yi gradually circulated air as if the brain was deprived of oxygen.
They sat down by the window, and soon a waiter came over with a menu with a standard smile on his face: "What do you two need?" ”
Zhong Yi flipped through the menu at random, picked a few Chinese breakfast dishes from a bunch of English-named recipe names, and then smiled softly and returned the menu to the waiter.
"A glass of American, a tuna sandwich. Thank you. Xu Huaisheng smiled elegantly, closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.
"I still have half an hour of free activity after breakfast, and I'll be busy next." Xu Huaisheng picked up the coffee, took a sip, and frowned slightly. He put down his coffee, looked at the opposite side of the meal that showed the love of a little woman, and couldn't help laughing: "I knew that I would take you to a traditional and authentic morning tea shop, and the ideas of those people in the dormitory are obviously just suitable for reference." ”
"Huh?" Zhong Yi took a sip of soup, and as soon as she looked up, she met his gaze, and she smiled embarrassedly: "With a heavy responsibility and mission, you can't go against the instructions of the country's leaders." ”
"Well, I didn't think about it properly."
After leaving the restaurant, Zhong Yi deliberately took a detour to a Cantonese refreshment on Shunping Street, bought three breakfasts, and then went back to school.
In order not to waste the remaining fifteen minutes of someone's personal free time, he wanted to make the best use of his things, so he let him accompany him to the reception room, but someone was obviously a little unhappy, and kept a straight face along the way.
"Xu Huaisheng."
……
"Angry?"
……
"What do you say?" After a long time, someone replied lightly.
Zhong Yi casually took out her own from a stack of letters, she glanced at the sender's name on it, couldn't control the change of mood, and said in surprise: "It's passed!" That's great! ”
Xu Huaisheng sighed silently, it seemed that she didn't notice herself at all, and her mind was attracted by a letter. He leaned over and looked at it, "What is this?" ”
"I originally submitted an article to a photography magazine with the attitude of trying, but I didn't expect the other party to send the contract letter quickly." Zhong Yi looked at Xu Huaisheng with bright eyes, with an ecstatic expression on his face.
Xu Huaisheng frowned slightly, "So you've been busy with this matter all those days?" ”
In those days, she always tossed until three or four o'clock in the morning before she was willing to rest, and as soon as she didn't have classes, she went into a photography department in the school, and she tossed and lost a few pounds to be honest for a few days.
Sometimes, Xu Huaisheng always felt that he was raising his daughter, and he chased her after three meals a day and asked her if she had eaten obediently, not allowed to stay up late, and rested when she was tired.
But once you devote yourself to your favorite interests, no matter how others pull them, they can't pull them back. What's more, Xu Huaisheng's advice in a few words has long been forgotten by her.
Zhong Yi knew that he was really angry this time, and the fingers holding the letter paper tightened a little unconsciously, with a flattering smile on his face, and immediately admitted his mistake: "I know it's wrong!" After the contract is sent back, I will definitely follow the party's teachings, go to bed early and get up early, and don't stay up late. ”
Zhong Yi crackled a lot, and after a while, she heard a chuckle from the top of her head, and her hanging heart also followed: "I didn't stop you from doing what you liked, I was just worried about you, don't be tired because of this." The dark circles under my eyes have aggravated a lot, and I haven't stayed up late late. ”
"Thank you for understanding me." After gaining the party's understanding, the whole person was like being reborn, and his spirit instantly shook several times.
Xu Huaisheng smiled helplessly, and he didn't know if she had listened to these words.
…………
After selecting the last photo, I clicked the mouse to send, and looked at the words "Email Sent Successfully" displayed on the computer screen, and I stretched my waist.
"I've got all the exam review materials ready, who wants them?"
"So fast?" Xu Sa looked at Zhong Yi in disbelief, "Could it be that the male god of Xueba prepared it for you?" Or is it one-on-one tutoring? ”
"Me, me, me!" Lin Xixi hugged the washbasin and came to Zhongyi's side, and smiled flatteringly: "Hehe, remember to leave me a copy, and invite you to eat seafood hot pot when you go back." ”
"No problem." Zhong Yi raised an "OK" gesture to Lin Xixi, his fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, the mouse clicked a few times, and after a while, an electronic pre-exam review material was sent to Lin Xixi's mailbox.
"Well loved! Efficiency is fast. Love you. Lin Xixi threw a flying kiss at Zhongyi.
"Comrade Jiang Xiu, shouldn't you be ready to review the materials?"
"Hmm, do you want to use it?"
"Ahh O God! I'm asking for a roommate! Xu Sa lay on the bed on all fours, wailing weakly.
"Amuro is so pitiful, he was taken away from his name, not to mention, and he even forgot about the review." Lin Xixi shook her head and sighed, and disappeared into the bathroom with the washbasin in her arms.
Since signing a short-term contract with the magazine, the "Aurora" series of works that I like to shoot has also appeared on the front page of the latest issue of the magazine.
When she got the magazine sent to her by the editor, she was still in a state of fluttering, and the scene in front of her was both illusory and real, as if she was dreaming, but the picture in front of her was real and terrifying.
She trembled her voice and said, "Jiang Xiu, you pinch me." ”
Jiang Xiu reached out and pinched her cheek, and the real pain told Zhong Yi that this was true, not a dream. Her work really made it to the front page, and it was very sought after and loved, and in just half a month, her "Aurora" work had more than 100,000 hits on the Internet.
That night, the editor-in-charge called to congratulate her, saying that the editor-in-chief valued her strength and talent very much, asked her to continue to work hard, and raised questions about the duration of this contract renewal.
Zhong Xiang signed a short-term contract at that time, and as soon as the contract expired, she no longer had anything to do with Manye Magazine, and it was probably difficult to find such a good resource on it.
Zhong Yi didn't give a clear answer, only said that she was asking her to think about it and give an answer.
"That's good, but I still want to remind you that "Aurora" is now very well received, and I think it will definitely be good for you to continue to publish the following works in the "Aurora" series while the heat is still hot."
hung up the phone, Zhong Yi stood on the balcony, looking at the night sky of City A without sparse stars, dark and dark. It's like a giant black hole, taking everything in.
The "Aurora" series of photos was taken in Los Angeles alone after the college entrance examination, when she happened to encounter a meteor shower that lasted for a long time, and the picture was very shocking, and at the same time brought a visual experience, as if she was watching a grand meteor shower in person.
Manye Magazine is one of the largest magazines in the domestic photography magazine, and has launched many excellent works, which has also driven the popularity of many photographers, and is loved by many readers and pursued by photography enthusiasts, otherwise she would not have thrown such precious photos to Manye.
At the beginning, I valued Manye's hard work for each photographer and treated it with the same effort. For a photographer like her, who has never won an award and is not a professional photographer, the signed contract is to open the door to a new world.
got the first high manuscript fee in her life, Zhong Yixizi invited the three beauties in the dormitory to eat Haidilao, and called Xu Huaisheng to celebrate her success in taking a step closer to the photography world.
The location was booked in a place where the price was ridiculously expensive for three people for a long time, because it was very famous in City A, there was an endless stream of people who came to eat, and there were often problems such as no seats, so they had to book seats in advance.
After a glass of beer, Xu Sa, who had been twisted before, had already let go of himself, took Lin Xixi's hand and said, "It's rare to invite us to a luxurious meal, I don't care, let go of eating!" ”
Lin Xixi shook his head and said happily: "Xu Sa, can you be a little more reserved." I quietly asked the waiter here that I could pack it if I couldn't finish it. ”
Jiang Xiu looked helplessly at the two who were whispering head to head, and turned her head to look at Zhong Yi: "I haven't served the food yet, I have a little sympathy for them." ”
Zhong Yi bent his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but tease: "Wait for the food to be served, you should sympathize with Haidilao." ”
After eating, on the way back to school, Xu Sa dragged Lin Xixi in front, and Jiang Xiu, who had fallen a few steps, followed behind them, and the three of them talked and laughed.
Zhong Yi and Xu Huaisheng fell more than a dozen steps behind them, and the two were very close, talking a few words from time to time, and then they were silent with each other. I listened to the sound of traffic for a while. Zhong Yi said: "Do you think I should continue to renew the contract with Manye?" ”
She has been thinking about this problem in the past few days, about the renewal process, the editor in charge of her has sent the relevant procedures to her mailbox, if there is anything not satisfied, you can contact her at any time, and make changes after discussing with the above.
"It's a matter of length, the maximum contract is five years, can you stick to a photography magazine for five years?" Xu Huaisheng saw at a glance the problem that Zhong Yi was concerned about, and pointed it out sharply.
No one knows what will happen in the future, and just like she is now, she is not sure if she will be able to persevere.
"I see, thank you Huaisheng."
Back in the dormitory, Zhong Yi called the editor in charge, and clearly stated her current thoughts, about the renewal of the contract, she agreed, stay in Manye for a year, after a year, she can go to the magazine or photography company she wants to go to at will.
