Chapter 122: Urging the Manuscript to Deliver
Two years later, North Harbor City
"Du Ruobing, Miss Du, when can you deliver the manuscript? I'm being driven to death by the readers!
Are we going to eat? Yours has written hundreds of chapters, and the reader is looking at it, and now you suddenly break off, and you still won't let me live? β
Early in the morning, Li Yuzhe suddenly called, and his mouth was full of nonsense, so angry that Du Ruobing's face turned green. Why doesn't she want to finish it as soon as possible?!
I have been rushing to the manuscript day and night, and I have a splitting headache, and I still count on the meager manuscript fee to live!
However, I have recently accidentally suffered from a wind chill, and I am drowsy all day long, without any inspiration!
"Editor-in-Chief Li, my brother Yu Zhe, give me two more days! In the past few days, I have a very bad cold, which is very uncomfortable, and I have indeed delayed the manuscript. Please, Brother Yuzhe! β
Du Ruobing said pitifully, secretly wishing to spit on him.
The evil capitalist himself rushed to his manuscript day and night, and he took seven Du Ruobing to get three of the profits, so don't be too exploitative and cruel!
"My eldest lady, I'm really convinced! Well written, how can you lose your job because of a little cold?
We have to cheer up and update the manuscript quickly, readers are our food and clothing parents! Is it God, do you understand? β
Li Yuzhe continued to bombard indiscriminately, his lungs exploded, and he almost smoked.
"Understood, understood, I'll write now. Guaranteed to update a chapter or two tomorrow morning! β
Du Ruobing smiled helplessly, feeling really aggrieved.
Li Yuzhe was still on the other end of the phone, chirping and reprimanding crookedly, and his words became more and more difficult to hear.
Du Ruobing really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he directly threw the phone aside, and fell asleep in the quilt by himself, no matter how much Li Yuzhe didn't say anything, and finally Li Yuzhe could only hang up the phone helplessly.
Finally calmed down for a while, Du Ruobing was about to get up, but suddenly there was a very rapid knock on the door.
His uncle, early in the morning, still doesn't let people be clean? It's not a disturbing dream!
"Who?!" Du Ruobing shouted angrily, rubbed his eyes tiredly, staggered to the door, and quickly opened the door.
The landlord, Mo Xiaohe, was holding his hands on his hips outside the door, glaring at Du Ruobing fiercely.
"Miss Du, you already owe me three months' rent, 5,000 yuan! When are you going to pay it?
I tell you, I've been very kind to you, and if I had been someone else, I would have blasted you out a long time ago!
I see that you are a little girl's family, and it is not easy to wander around, so I have forgiven you again and again.
I didn't expect you to have to make inches, and it will be three months to delay! I don't want to live, do I? I'm not a charity here! β
Mo Xiaohe shouted loudly, and the neighbors opened the door curiously, and stared at Du Ruobing silently, embarrassed.
Du Ruobing scratched her hair in embarrassment and smiled helplessly.
"Sister Mo, please forgive me two more days! As soon as I handed in the manuscript in the past two days, I paid all the rent immediately after getting paid, okay? Just believe me for the last time? β
Du Ruobing begged his ancestors to tell his grandmother and prayed to Mo Xiaohe, and then half-covered his eyes, embarrassed to look at the neighbors who were staring at him inexplicably, and couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in!
"I don't care what kind of remuneration you are paid or not! If I don't get your rent tomorrow night, you can pack up your things, roll me up and leave!" β
Mo Xiaohe turned around and went downstairs angrily, and didn't forget to mumble a few cruel words in his mouth.
Du Ruobing shook his head helplessly, slammed the door slammed shut, and then collapsed on the bed weakly, frantic with all his might.
"What the hell is going to be? The manuscript was written without inspiration, and the evil editor-in-chief Li Yuzhe who did not hand over the manuscript refused to agree to advance the manuscript remuneration in advance. Why am I, Du Ruobing, so pathetic? β
Du Ruobing muttered indignantly in his heart, extremely impatient.
Then he suddenly threw the little grizzly bear doll lying in the quilt far away, smashed it on the door, and finally landed gently.
I knew that I was so embarrassed as I am now, so I wouldn't have broken up with Qi Yang in the first place! Although he is a bit of a scumbag, he will not have no money to pay the rent, right?
The more Du Ruobing thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he thought of Qi Yang's scumbag, his heart became even more angry.
"Why? Why?! For such a small amount of rent and living expenses, am I going to forgive the scumbag? Who am I Du Ruobing? Laugh to death! β
"So what now? The refrigerator is empty, and there are only two buckets of Master Kong's instant noodles left, and there is not a single egg!
I, who want to be a female writer in the future, Du Ruobing, Miss Du, do I have to face such sorrow alone now? β
"God, you're so unfair, aren't you? Anyway, I'm a famous college student! has been reduced to the point where you have to make a living by writing online articles? is just a North Port City, and there is no place for me Du Ruobing to stay?! β
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles."
The big responsibility of bullshit? I can't eat enough, I can't sleep, I can't sleep on the streets tomorrow, and I'm really working hard and my muscles and bones!
"No, I have to find a way to borrow some money first and pay the rent, lest Mrs. Mo really sweep me out of the house tomorrow night!"
Du Ruobing muttered for a long time, suddenly turned over and got up quickly, and finished washing up after dividing five by two.
Then with the momentum of gobbling up, he ate up a bucket of Master Kong's instant noodles in one go.
With a small gray backpack on her back, she decided to go out to collect wind today, maybe she can meet a shit luck, and maybe she will be inspired when she comes back in the evening!
Du Ruobing had just gone out and was about to go downstairs, when he suddenly remembered to call his best friend He Jie.
Counting up, the two have not been in touch for nearly a month, in fact, Du Ruobing still misses He Jie, after all, the two have grown up together since childhood, and they are like biological sisters.
Recently, He Jie just married a rich second generation, and it was behind his family's back, and even his grandparents didn't dare to tell him.
Regarding He Jie's hidden marriage, it is estimated that only Du Ruobing, a good girlfriend, knows!
Because He Jie didn't want to tell anyone in the Du family except Du Ruobing. She is more worried that she will not have a good life in the future, and then she will be ashamed of the Du family~
Thinking that her sister He Jie had just married into a wealthy family, maybe she should have some money in her hand and could lend it to herself to save the emergency.
So, Du Ruobing couldn't wait to dial He Jie's phone, as if he had discovered the excitement of a new continent.
"Jie'er, are you home now? It's inconvenient to come out and have a coffee together? β
Du Ruobing said with a smile, eager to see He Jie. In Beigang, where she has no relatives, only He Jie, her best friend who has played since childhood, is more reliable.
"Ruobing, why are you in such a hurry? It's not easy for me to go out right now......"
On the phone, He Jie was a little hesitant, hesitant, and very puzzling.
Du Ruobing suddenly became a little anxious, and his head was buzzing.
"Jie'er, are you uncomfortable? Something doesn't feel right to listen to the sound? If it's really inconvenient for you, I'll go and see you......"
Du Ruobing suddenly became puzzled and hurriedly answered. He Jie, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, has never been like this before.
It's really a little wrong today, could it be that life after marriage is not peaceful?
This marriage is about to be married by squeezing her head, which can't blame anyone, and there's no reason to be unhappy?
"Forget it, let's do it another day!" He Jie quickly interrupted Du Ruobing's words, "I have a cold recently, and I am not feeling well......
"Oh well! We'll make an appointment another day. β
Du Ruobing hung up the phone weakly, feeling very depressed. It's not that I'm worried about myself now, I'm about to be swept away, I'm more worried about He Jie's condition.
He Jie and Du Ruobing live together in the Du family, and they are very good girlfriends, the two grew up together since childhood, and they have no guesses.
After graduating from college, the two stayed in Beigang to work hard and live together, because they studied broadcasting and hosting, and they did not have a strong background and contacts in Beigang, so they could not survive at all.
No, the two stayed in Beigang for nearly 2 years after graduation, and Du Ruobing could only rely on writing online articles for Li Yuzhe to earn a living as a manuscript.
He Jie has been working as a waitress in a rich club, receiving a meager salary and barely making ends meet.
However, 3 months ago, the rich second-generation Hu Xiaotian met He Jie at the club. At first, the two dated because you and I were willing, and then they almost broke up.
In the end, because of He Jie's stubborn fighting, the two only recently got married.
This marriage was initiated by He Jie from beginning to end, and Hu Xiaotian did not agree at first.
Helplessly, the Hu family hugged their son, and unexpectedly learned that He Jie was pregnant with their Hu family's species, and finally forced the two to get married.
Although it is said that the twisted melon is not sweet, He Jie has achieved the goal of marrying into a wealthy family. It doesn't matter if you have feelings or not, you finally have a place to settle down in Beigang.
Du Ruobing wandered aimlessly on the streets, wandering around. Museums, civic squares, and train stations are crowded with people, and tourists are in an endless stream.
Du Ruobing looked at these tourists, and the excitement when he came to Beigang was as if he saw himself when he first came to Beigang.
Du Ruobing smiled helplessly, laughing at himself for being too stupid and naΓ―ve, and actually believed that he could start from scratch in Beigang, whether it was life or feelings......
Originally, I wanted to change the environment to heal my wounds, but who would have thought that it would be the current situation? Emotional wounds can't be healed, but the crisis of life is imminent.
"Boom!" Before Du Ruobing could react, a huge suitcase involuntarily hit Du Ruobing, and she almost didn't fall!
And the owner of the box, a tall and handsome boy, was stupidly stunned 10 meters away!
"Hey, who's that? How did you pull the suitcase? Hit me, you know? I almost fell! β
Du Ruobing pressed the suitcase hard to prevent it from sliding, and glared viciously at the innocent eyes 10 meters away.
"I'm sorry, young lady! I didn't pay attention, I just tied a shoelace and the suitcase slid on its own, I'm so sorry! β
The boy looked at Du Ruobing embarrassedly, and he didn't know that he was going to step forward and take his suitcase.
"Forget it! I'm out of luck today! β
Du Ruobing pulled up the suitcase, put it in front of the boy, and turned around to leave, with a bitter melon on his face.
I secretly said in my heart that I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I let myself run into any unlucky things. Thinking that at this moment, even drinking cold water stuffed between my teeth, and a nameless fire suddenly appeared.
"Little sister, my name is Han Xuanyi, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Can you add your WeChat? I'll invite you to dinner another day to apologize~"
Han Xuanyi looked at Du Ruobing's departing figure anxiously, and said embarrassedly, his face suddenly flushed.
"I'm not happy to meet you! I'm sorry! β
Du Ruobing left without looking back, today is really unlucky, I originally wanted to come out to relax, but I didn't find inspiration, but now I feel even more troubled.
However, the boy just now was really handsome, 28 years old, as if he had seen it somewhere. Oops, can't remember, headache.
"Han Xuanyi? Your name is pretty nice! It's just that people don't look good! β
Du Ruobing glanced back, Han Xuanyi, who was stunned in place, shouted loudly, and then ran away happily.
Hearing the sound, Han Xuanyi looked dazed, and smiled helplessly, this girl is so good-looking!
After wandering around Beigang City for a day, Du Ruobing also felt a little tired, and wanted to go home but was afraid that the landlord Mo Xiaohe would come to block the door again.
It's a big night, and I feel a little chilly if I don't go back. Just after the National Day, autumn is in full swing, and the civic square, which is crowded during the day, has begun to slowly recover the desertion of the night.
After struggling for a long time, Du Ruobing didn't think of any better way, so he had to go back.
At night, her petite figure suddenly seemed a little lonely.
A chill invaded her whole body, from the blank brain to the bottom of her heart, and it was also an abnormal cold, piercing to the bone.
Go? What really happened in the past? Why did you end up in this field?
