Chapter Twenty-Five: A Book of Fame
J City.
Inside an upscale apartment.
Zhang Li just coded 10,000 words and stretched his muscles.
Ever since he made the deal, he suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and at a certain point, he posted a science fiction book. Science fiction has been unpopular for many years, but this one he wrote has outstanding writing and plot twists, especially he also wrote a magnificent, incomparably real future technology world, many of the descriptions in it are based on real technology or can find some shadows.
Suddenly, his book became a hit, and the subscription income on the shelves exceeded one million in the first month, and many film and television companies contacted him to buy the copyright. The price has risen from millions to tens of millions, and it can be said that now, he is a hot supernova in the online literature industry.
"Suzu. ”
Suddenly, his phone rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was his father in the small county town.
"Son, did you do something illegal, why did you suddenly give me 300,000 yuan. Although we are not rich, we must also have backbone and not do illegal things. Since your grandfather's generation, our Zhang family has been known for being honest, and it is because of this good reputation that I can now do some tinkering business in the county. ”
Zhang Li felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this.
A few years ago, his father was seriously injured at the construction site, and although the boss compensated for the medical expenses at the time, he did not have any follow-up protection because he did not sign a contract and did not buy work-related injury insurance.
Although his life was saved, he couldn't do heavy work, so he could only rely on his previous skills and opened a bicycle repair stall in an urban village.
His mother, who has no skills, can only find a job as a cleaner in the local supermarket, and the family is barely able to make ends meet, and he owes a lot of foreign debts for his college education, and has been living in a tube building that was built more than ten years ago.
"Dad, don't worry, I don't steal or rob, this is what I earned by writing books seriously, I don't believe you let the neighbor search my book with his mobile phone, it's a big hit now." In the future, we will change TV and movies, and you two elders will be able to see it on TV in the future. ”
Zhang Li is full of confidence, since the transaction, his inspiration has been in a burst state, can be updated up to 20,000 words a day, those beautiful, rigorous words, like a spring flowing out of his mind.
He is very confident that he is the first on all the lists, and it is his turn to soar, and he will definitely be on the list of rich writers this year.
When the time comes, you can tell those snobbish relatives, those who once ridiculed him as a street writer, that he is the most talented writer of our time.
"That's good, that's good, I'll save this money for you, and keep it for you to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law in the future. Aunt Wang next door heard that you are famous for writing books, and now she wants to introduce her daughter who teaches in No. 1 Middle School to you, and you can come back and meet you in a while. ”
Zhang's father's idea was very simple, the parents of that era were all for their children. They do what they can to give their children what they can, ordinary, but respectable.
"Dad, keep the money. In a few years, I will come and buy you a big house, you don't have to go to work now, enjoy yourself at home, and when you have nothing to do, go to the park and eat something good. ”
Although Zhang Li's heart is numb, he still retains his love for his parents.
"I've been used to stalls for so many years, where can I be idle. And your mother, she's waiting to bring you the baby. You find a partner as soon as possible, give her a big fat boy, and we'll bring you a baby together. ”
A smile appeared on Zhang's father's face, which was his vision for the future. He dreamed of a life where he had no worries about food and clothing, with children and grandchildren on his knees.
"I know, don't worry, with your son's current ability. I will definitely find you a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law. ”
He hung up the phone, still without the slightest joy in his heart. The book he wrote was a hit, he had succeeded, a good life was at his fingertips, and his parents were proud of him, but for some reason, in his heart, there was no liking at all, just endless numbness and emptiness.
Thinking of the feeling of being filled with the emptiness in his heart when he hunted that peripheral girl a few days ago, he longed to hunt again.
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, what service do you need?"
It was a standard female voice on the other end of the line.
"Green tea, 10,000 cans, come to the door. ”
"Okay sir, then please send the address to the communication account I am talking about next, and we will arrange for you to come to the door, and the fee will be paid when you come to the door. ”
The current door-to-door service is so secretive and humane, with code words, and temporary application of communication accounts, if it is not for someone to refer, there is basically no clue.
However, there is also a big problem, so it is the green tea that comes to the door, and the risks they face, I don't know who they will face.
But who made the price so high, 10,000, and 5,000 in their hands, which is already double their usual price. The more money you take, the more you take on the risk.
He sat on the couch, lit a cigarette, and waited for the green tea to come to his door.
Half-hour.
"Bell... ”
The doorbell suddenly remembered, and he got up to open the door.
A woman wearing heavy makeup, a green floral dress, and white sneakers walked in.
"Hello, sir, is that the green tea you wanted?"
"Yes, how do you charge, sit down first. ”
Hearing this, the woman sat down on the sofa and raised her legs, looking a little cramped.
"10,000 times, plus round-trip fares. Will you scan the code or pay cash?"
The woman kept her head down and fiddled with her phone.
"Pay in cash, shall I give it now?"
"Okay"
The woman called up the payment QR code on her mobile phone and handed it over.
"Ding, 1200 yuan has arrived. ”
Hearing the sound of the arrival, the woman's mood was obviously better, and she began to talk to him, enlivening the awkward atmosphere.
"Brother, what do you do?"
"Oh. I'm a writer, a novelist. ”
"I don't believe it, where is you so rich in writing novels, you must be a great writer. ”
The woman was complimenting him.
"It's good to write, and it's also money-making, and I'm just the lucky one. ”
"How many orders do you usually take a day?"
"There are a few of them one day, tonight is the first time I've opened this month, how can there be so many rich people. ”
The woman's tone was a little complaining.
"What do you usually do?"
"I'm live streaming on a small website, brother, you can take a look and give me a tip, no one has given me a tip for a long time. ”
"Well, will you wash first or will I wash first?"
Zhang Li was a little impatient.
"Come together, brother, make sure you like it. ”
"Yes"
Zhang Li nodded.
Twenty minutes later.
"Ahh ”
A terrible woman's screams came from the bathroom.
