Chapter 8: Time Grows Old
Hailan Literary Company.
Historical Military Department.
Durala is a trainee editor whose daily task is to identify potential new books and contact authors for signing.
Since the historical military sector is the head plate in the company, the amount of new books is not ordinary, and it is undoubtedly a difficult task to find a large number of new books.
Moreover, the history of China has long been written by many authors, and it is the same, without any novelty.
Finding something new and unique among the many new works is simply more difficult.
As an intern editor, Durala's requirement to become a regular is to sign three new books that are big sellers, and even though she often works overtime late at night, she has not found one, let alone signed a contract.
If this continues, she is afraid that she will leave in disgrace.
As usual, it was past the end of the day, she was still working overtime, and everyone else in the office had gone home.
She looked at it boringly.
At the beginning of the same article, she guessed the content of the story with a cursory sweep, and she did not arouse the interest of reading it in the slightest.
Suddenly.
In the background, an author named "King's Landing" is displayed, which has been updated more than thirty times in one go, which has caught her attention.
"King's Landing? Dominating the world? A pen name that's crazy enough. Durala sneered.
She didn't take it seriously and clicked on the first time, and this look fell into it until she caught up with the latest one.
Overall, the story of this novel is not particularly brilliant, but it is stuck with a climax point every time, which makes readers can't help but want to chase it down.
As an editor who has read countless books, she is not immune, let alone readers.
She has a hunch that the author's hand has deeply grasped the itch of readers, and she is willing to spend money to subscribe.
In this case, it should be no problem to give this novel a contract.
With the decision in place, Durala began to contact the author "King's Landing" through the background information.
……
Residence halls.
Wu Fan returned to school early today, and came back before dark.
So much so that he was squatted by the students who were squatting in the dormitory building, most of whom were mainly students of the vocal music department.
"Senior Wu Fan, I want to invite you to dinner, give me a chance."
"Senior Brother Wu Fan, I booked a seat in XX Restaurant, let's have time to have a meal with me."
"I want to sing your song, what do you ask you to ......"
"Senior, you're so handsome, I'm going on a date with you."
……
A group of students surrounded Wu Fan in the middle, chattering and arguing.
Wu Fan only felt that he was about to be crowded and noisy, and he had no choice but to use the lion's roar to fight the town.
"Stop arguing."
Seeing that the scene was clean and under control, he looked around and said in a loud voice, "My works have been on the charts recently, and when this month is over, I will open the license, and everyone can cover it." ”
This is something that can't be helped, Wu Fan is still a member of the school, rather than letting the school come forward to open the authorization, it is better to take the initiative himself.
Fortunately, although the song is open to licensing, the cover is limited to the school, which means that these students are not qualified or authorized to take the song out of the campus, but to a certain extent, to increase their reputation in the school.
The purpose was fulfilled, and the students scattered in an instant.
But......
Wu Fan saw Li Fang outside the crowd, and the other party was obviously coming at him.
"Is there anything else you can do?" Wu Fan asked out of politeness.
Li Fang was silent for a moment, and walked out without looking back.
"If you still have feelings for Dani, come with me."
Li Fang, who was facing away from Wu Fan, said something wrong, Wu Fan noticed it, but did not move.
He needs Li Fang to give him a clearer explanation, otherwise he doesn't want to have anything to do with Li Danni anymore.
Li Fang turned his head and looked at Wu Fan, who was indifferent, tears poured out instantly, and he choked up, "Dani is for you...... ...... at the city hospital"
Rumble!
Wu Fan's head was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared.
……
Municipal hospital wards.
Hospital bed.
Li Danni lay with a pale face, her eyes closed, and she didn't pay attention to foreign affairs.
Wu Fan hurried over, seeing that the weak Li Danni was unharmed, and the lost soul was difficult to return to its place.
On the way here, he had heard Li Fang explain the specific situation.
This morning, Li Danni, who was heartbroken, cut her wrists when she couldn't think about it......
Fortunately, Li Fang noticed that something was wrong and found it in time, so that no serious consequences occurred.
This incident has alarmed the leaders of the school, but the school has controlled public opinion in time, and there are not many people who know.
However, after all, such a scandal is related to Wu Fan, and a warning and punishment are inevitable.
For Wu Fan, as long as Li Danni's life is not in danger, everything else is secondary.
Close the door.
Sitting on the chair in the passage, Wu Fan only felt that his mind was in a mess.
"No one wants to do this, and I know you're not having a good time." Li Fang will speak, "Dani is a good girl, but she is a stupid child, she has a deep affection for you, and the night we parted, she didn't sleep all night and cried all night. ”
"Last night, she cried even more, I know she met you, although I don't know what you said, but I know that you hurt her."
Wu Fan lowered his head, grabbing his messy hair with both hands, and he was in a mess.
He hadn't expected this to happen, if he had known......
It's too late to say anything now.
"Tick Tick Tick ......" ringtone.
At this time, Wu Fan was in no mood to answer the phone at all, so he turned off his mobile phone directly.
"Let me calm down for a while......"
"Okay." Li Fang shut up in amusement.
……
It's approaching midnight.
Two figures came in a hurry, they were Li Danni's parents.
Li Fang gave a general account of the situation over the phone.
Li Yong, that is, Li Danni's father, suddenly pulled Wu Fan's collar, looked at Wu Fan, who was a head taller than him, and waved his hand to slap him.
"Smack!"
Wu Fan covered his hot face, lowered his head guiltily, and said, "Uncle Li, I'm sorry ......"
"If my daughter has three long and two short, I can't spare you." Li Yong said a cruel word and went into the ward to take care of his daughter.
The slap was given so quickly that Li Fang didn't react.
"Wu Fan, you ......" Li Fang said with concern.
"I'm fine." Wu Fan interrupted, sat down again, and continued to wait quietly.
Sleepless nights.
Morning.
Li's mother's happy voice came from the ward, and Wu Fan knew that Li Danni had woken up.
"Help me tell Dani, don't do anything stupid." Wu Fan said a word to Li Fang and wanted to leave.
He didn't know how he was facing Li Danni at the moment, let alone what he was thinking now, he just felt that his heart was very chaotic.
"Why don't you say it yourself? Dani is like this, and you still want to turn a blind eye? Li Fang will be a little angry, and feel worthless for Li Danni's approach.
"I ......" Wu Fan was speechless.
Mother Li opened the door and walked out, glanced at Wu Fan, and said with a complicated expression, "Dani called you in, she knew you were outside." ”
Wu Fan gritted his teeth, pushed the door in a daze, and sat next to Li Danni's bed.
Li Yong closed the door and walked out, leaving space for the two to be alone.
Looking at Li Danni, who was weak on the bed at the moment, Wu Fan only felt that his heart was grabbed by a nail, which was particularly painful.
"I'm sorry for bothering you......" Li Danni apologized weakly, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
"Don't say it, you're fine." Wu Fan softened his voice as much as possible and comforted him.
Li Danni didn't look over, she couldn't bear to let Wu Fan see her sick and ugly face, and said, "I did something stupid, but I wanted to open it, everything was brought on by me, you can come to see me, I'm already content." ”
"I'm fine, you go back and rest, it's enough for you to have me in your heart, let it pass."
Wu Fan was silent, he was not good at words, he didn't know what to say at this time, so he finally nodded.
"Okay, you can rest more, I'll come to see you in the afternoon."
Wu Fan got up, but the person on the hospital bed held his hand tightly, and he had no choice but to sit down again.
The hand he was holding did not let go, but he pulled it tighter and tighter, for fear that as soon as he let go, he would run away.
Wu Fan is not good at words, but he is not a fool, so he let the other party pull him, feeling the temperature of the other party's palm, his heart was finally touched.
He took a deep breath and made a difficult decision, "You're right, let him pass the past, let's start with friends first, okay?" ”
God knows how determined he was to make this decision, he not only wanted to give the other party a chance, but also wanted to give himself a relief, even if it was a spiritual liberation that only existed in this moment.
Li Danni didn't reply for a long time, because she had fallen asleep deeply, and the corners of her mouth were a little raised.
Wu Fan slowly withdrew his hand and tiptoed out of the ward.
At this time, Li's father and mother had already learned the reason for the incident from Li Fang's mouth.
Li Yong snorted coldly and hid in the toilet to smoke.
Mother Li stepped forward to hold Wu Fan's hand and said bitterly, "Daddy just slapped you, it's wrong for him, I apologize for him." ”
"The relationship between you and Dani, as parents, has no right to interfere, but as an elder, let me say, time is easy to grow old, cherish the people in front of you."
Wu Fan, who was touched, nodded, "Auntie, I'm bothering you to take care of Dani, I'll take the time to come and see her." ”
Hospitalization Billing Office.
In an emergency, the hospitalization fee was paid by Li Fang in advance, and it was only a small part, after all, Li Fang was a student, and the money on him was very limited.
And when this kind of thing happened, Wu Fan felt that he was also responsible, and it was natural to pay for medical hospitalization.
After the system lottery, he still has 2W left in his card, which is enough for Li Danni to live until she recovers and is discharged from the hospital.
……
School Discipline Office.
Wu Fan stood obediently like a child who had made a mistake, and in front of him was the leaders of the school who spoke one after another.
Before finalizing the punishment of Wu Fan, Director Wang Wei spoke.
"Adolescent children, it is inevitable to make mistakes, and if you know your mistakes, you are a good child, and this accident was not caused by his subjective will. In my opinion, the punishment will be waived. ”
"How can this be? If you don't punish you, how can you convince the public? Some teachers objected.
Wang Wei continued, "What this teacher said is also right, and if you don't punish it, you can't convince the public. But you don't seem to know ...... yet."
After selling it first, and seeing that all the teachers were hung up on their appetites, he said slowly, "This kid has been busy composing lyrics and music, and his performance is very good." Oh yes. The recently popular song "Decent" is his work. ”
When many teachers heard this, they turned their heads and ears to each other.
Wang Wei threw out the bomb again at the right time, "Singing lyrics and songs, the trinity, are all done by him alone, such a good seedling, he shouldn't go out of the school gate with punishment on his back." ”
Rumble!
The power of this bomb was strong enough, and many teachers heated up their discussions.
