'Silent Flowing Years' remembers the cutting-edge writer Jiang Ling.

The news page is not large, the size of a tofu block. There are no pictures, only words are used to introduce Jiang Ling and this book.

"Sister Sweet. This is your Jiang Ling, right? ”

Ask tentatively.

In the introduction of the characters inside, he has been named as a person from Yuncheng. The denial seemed deliberate, and Xu Tian nodded.

"Hmm. Probably him. He likes to write and draw. ”

She said casually, and An Hao looked surprised.

"I really didn't expect him to have this ability. I said that when I saw him before, he looked like a crepe, and he really had some ability. ”

Xu Tian didn't speak, finished reading the small piece of tofu, and then dragged the newspaper over and unfolded it.

Glancing at the newspaper and looking up, she was a little relieved.

This is a business newspaper of the port city. This kind of newspaper military area will not be determined.

Then, the odds of someone seeing it are slim.

As for why such news was published in this newspaper, eighty percent of it was advertised by the publishing house, and the budget was limited, so I chose such a newspaper with such a wide audience.

However, if he published it at his own expense, and the publishers are willing to help him promote it, it means that the response to the book is still good after it is published.

In other words, he is already on the road to success.

Well, there is a saying that is true. Jiang Ling, he still has some ability.

"Manager Xu."

Just thinking about it, Cheng Yun knocked on the door of her office.

"Someone is looking for you outside."

"Who?"

Xu Tian asked.

"I don't know, it's a man, and he says it's your friend. He said his surname was Jiang. ”

Jiang Ling?

Does this mean that Cao Cao Cao has arrived?

Xu Tian was taken aback, looked at An Hao, and An Hao was also surprised.

"It so coincidentally, as soon as I said him, he came. Hey, no, how did he know about this? Sister Tian, did you tell him? ”

Before, she only told Jiang Ling that she was here on a business trip.

"Nope. He probably didn't know who to ask. ”

Xu Tian said with a sinking eyebrow. After thinking for a while, he looked at Cheng Yun.

"What did you tell him?"

"I said I'd ask you."

It's like saying she's here.

The port city is so big, you can't hide from it.

"Forget it, you let him in."

Cheng Yun went out and put away the newspaper peacefully: "Then I'll go first." ”

"Don't go. That's it, I don't have much to say to him. ”

There are outsiders here, and there are some things that Jiang Ling can't say, so he saves time to entangle with him.

An Hao also understood a little bit of Xu Tian's meaning, so he stayed.

After a while, Cheng Yun led Jiang Ling in.

"Britney. You're really here. ”

The surprise on his face failed to provoke Xu Tian's response.

Her expression was faint.

"I just moved here, too. How did you find it? ”

"Asked."

Jiang Ling didn't say where he asked. Xu Tian didn't bother to ask, so he raised his hand.

"Sit down."

There are two chairs opposite her, which are usually used by guests.

An Hao was already sitting there, Jiang Ling looked at An Hao, smiled and sat down.

Seeing him sit down, Xu Tian asked again.

"You're looking for me?"

"Nothing."

As he spoke, he glanced at An Hao again.

The meaning was clear, he didn't want this third person to be there.

"It's all your own people, just say anything you want."

Xu Tian said directly, he had no intention of leaving, and Jiang Ling's face was slightly embarrassed.

"It's really nothing, it's just ......"

He pulled a book out of his bag.

"The response to the book was so good that I thought I'd give you a copy. But I couldn't reach you before. I finally asked if you were here, so I came over. Xiao Tian, thank you, you have more than half of the credit for the publication of this book. ”

He pushed the silent passage in front of Xu Tian.

An Hao listened to this and was a little incomprehensible, and looked at Jiang Ling and Xu Tian in confusion.

Xu Tian didn't explain to her, she took the book casually, didn't open it, just smiled.

"It's your own credit, and it doesn't have much to do with me. Now that the results are out, I want to congratulate you. ”

She is calm and generous, and her slightly curved eyebrows and eyes line her whole face as bright and moving as the sunset on the horizon.

Faced with such Xu Tian, Jiang Ling twisted instead.

"Thank you. But the same cannot be said. Without your funding, this would not have been published. So thank you anyway. I'll pay you back that money when I get the first payment. The people at the publishing house told me that the sales were very good, and the income should be good. ”

When Jiang Ling said this, the surprise in An Hao's eyes became even stronger.

Xu Tian glanced at her, and then looked at Jiang Ling.

"It doesn't matter."

Didn't say much. The simple words showed her lack of interest in the conversation.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

The moment she picked up the phone, her demeanor and tone changed.

"Not yet, I'll go back later...... At night, whatever. Don't be so troublesome. Why don't you go back first, and I'll go to the vegetable market to see what's delicious...... Well. Got it, I'll be back right away. ”

Since she was hospitalized with a miscarriage, during this time, Gu Changqing either came to pick her up, or called her when she got off work to remind her not to work overtime and go back early.

She didn't say much, but her happiness was written on her face.

She was laughing, too, but this smile was not the same as smiling at the person in front of her now.

In comparison, the smile on him is much colder and more alienated.

Jiang Ling looked at it, and his heart ached faintly.

"Brother Gu is urging you to go home again?"

As soon as Xu Tian hung up the phone, he joked when he was fine. Xu Tian looked embarrassed and shy, but did not shy away.

"Hmm. He's more punctual than an alarm clock now. ”

It's just past half past five.

It's time to get off work.

"Isn't that sorry for you, and afraid that you will work overtime?"

An Hao said deliberately, Xu Tian smiled, didn't answer her words, and looked at Jiang Ling.

"I received the book. I'm going to get off work, so I won't send you. ”

She didn't even get up, and Jiang Ling's expression stiffened slightly.

Soon, though, he regained his composure and stood up.

"You don't need to send it, I'm leaving. I'll give you back when I get the manuscript fee. ”

With that, he turned and walked out.

An Hao looked at his back, and waited until the back was completely invisible before turning around.

"Sister Tian, what does he mean? Do you still fund her? ”

"Alright."

Xu Tian packed up the materials on the table and smiled at her.

"Can you keep these things secret for me?"

An Hao was stunned for a moment.

"I definitely have my purpose in funding him. But I don't want Changqing to know and think too much. ”

Xu Tian said bluntly. An Hao came back to his senses and nodded hurriedly.

"I see. Sister Tian, don't worry. I'm not going to talk too much. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Tian didn't say anything more, packed up the things on the table and finally looked at the book, she picked it up, and was about to throw it into the trash can, when she hurriedly stretched out her hand.

"Sister Tian, don't, don't, give it to me. Let me see. ”

Xu Tian thought about it, it was nothing, and handed it to her casually.

An Hao took it, packed up the newspaper, and then left.

Xu Tian also got off work, and when he went home, he passed by the vegetable market and turned in.

"Boss, give me these hairy crabs."

Passing by the aquatic product stall, she was attracted by the hairy crabs that looked very fat.

Squatting down, I just wanted to pick it up and take a closer look, when a voice sounded next to my ears.

"Boss, you'd better give it to me."
