Chapter 117 Evergreen leaves overnight, such a book fan

Nanjing.

After Chang Qingshu received Cao Sheng’s reply email, he turned off the computer, got up, put on his coat, walked out of the bedroom, changed into leather shoes, dragged the suitcase that had been prepared long ago, opened the door and set off.

Yes, he had already prepared to go to Huizhou.

Traveling to Huangshan was just an excuse he made up. Actually, how could he really have the heart to travel now?

The boss called personally and said that many publishing houses including Hetu, Gaia, Shuopin, and Adventurer are planning to send people to the mainland to collect manuscripts in the near future, and said that these people are likely to contact Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

This put a lot of pressure on him.

Because Zhongyuan Yidianhui is his biggest gain after working in the mainland for so long. After the sales of Zhongyuan Yidianhui’s “I Want to Become an Immortal” topped the list in Taiwan, the sales have never dropped.

It is a well-deserved hotshot.

“I Want to Become an Immortal” has reached episode 26, and the rest of the story should not be long. If a competitor poaches Zhong Yuan Yi Dian Hui away at this time, how will he explain to the headquarters?

If he fails to sign Zhongyuan Yidianhui’s new book, his salary and future will be greatly affected.

Maybe I will be transferred back to the headquarters.

Once he was transferred back, he could almost expect to spend the rest of his life in the company without any chance to show his abilities.

The workplace is often so cruel that a mistake at a critical period may ruin your future.

So, he has a sense of urgency.

I told myself in my heart: I must get the contract for his new book before other competitors get to Cao Sheng.

He didn’t consider whether Cao Sheng’s new book would perform well.

That wasn’t something he needed to consider.

It’s not his responsibility either.

He only needed to sign Cao Sheng’s new book, and he would have fulfilled his duty without any fault.

On the contrary, as long as he does not sign the book, everyone will think he has failed in his duty.

It will be a permanent stain on his career.

After all, Cao Sheng is already Taiwan, no! It should be said that he is the most popular young writer on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

If he cannot get a new book contract from such an author, this stain will inevitably spread throughout the industry.

So he set off overnight for Huizhou.

Fortunately, Nanjing is not far from Huizhou. I can take the train there overnight and see Cao Sheng tomorrow morning.

As for whether to let Cao Sheng pick me up at the station?
He didn’t even think about it.

How could he dare to trouble Cao Sheng at this critical moment?
Who knows if Cao Sheng thought he was immature when he went to the station to pick him up?

……

Same night.

Taipei.

A coffee shop by the window.

Lin Baohui, who is about to leave for the mainland, is being retained by Chen Bingwen from the same company.

“Baohui! Can you please not go to the mainland? Consider it my plea. Zhao Guobin specifically asked to take you to the mainland this time. He has no good intentions at all. He must want to use you as a honey trap. Don’t go! Don’t go!”

Lin Baohui has a chubby oval face, and judging from her face, she looks very pure.

But she has a nice figure.

There is a strong sense of contrast.

There are countless men who like her inside and outside the company.

Chen Bingwen in front of us is one of them.

Lin Baohui frowned at him and suddenly asked, “You are the one who made Manager Zhao’s plan known to everyone in the industry, right?”

Chen Bingwen nodded, “That’s right! I spread it on purpose. I thought that if the plan was made public, Zhao Guobin would suspect that you spread it, and then he would have a problem with you and would not take you to the mainland again! I didn’t expect that he didn’t question you, let alone replace you.”

Lin Baohui shook her head, stood up and picked up her handbag, and said to Chen Bingwen: “You are so ungentlemanly! You are also breaking the law! I don’t know how you knew about Manager Zhao’s plan, and you dared to leak it out deliberately. Do you know that if I report this to the company, you will lose your job? And you will never be able to work in this industry again?”

Chen Bingwen’s expression began to panic.

He reached out to grab Lin Baohui’s arm, “Baohui! Baohui! You can’t tell on me! I, I just like you, I really like you! I don’t want you to go to the mainland, and I don’t want you to be taken away by Zhao Guobin to perform a honey trap, I, I…”

Lin Baohui shook off his hand with a look of disgust.

“I won’t report you this time, but don’t ask me out again! Also, it’s my honor to go to the mainland. This is my job, and I don’t like you ruining my work!”

After saying that, she walked away and soon left the coffee shop.

Chen Bingwen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased out the door.

He shouted at Lin Baohui’s back under the street light: “Baohui! Do you really not mind using the honey trap? Are you really willing to make such a big sacrifice for your work?”

Lin Baohui, who had already walked seven or eight meters out of the store, stopped when she heard this, looked back, and suddenly smiled at Chen Bingwen. Her smile was like a blooming flower.

She raised her hand to brush the hair from her face and said loudly, “Sacrifice? Do you know that I am a fan of Zhongyuan Yidianhui’s books? This is obviously my chance, okay? You almost ruined my good fortune!”

After saying that, she glanced at Chen Bingwen with amusement, then retracted her gaze and walked away with brisk steps, never looking back this time.

Chen Bingwen was the only one left standing at the door of the coffee shop in a suit and tie, his expression frozen and his eyes stunned.

He never dreamed that Lin Baohui would say that.

This is her chance? She was asked to use her beauty to win someone over, and she actually thought this was her chance?

Book lover?

Where can I find such a book lover?
Not a movie fan!
What he didn’t know was that after Lin Baohui returned home, took a shower, walked into the bedroom, turned on the computer, and quickly found several photos of Cao Sheng on the hard drive.

This is what she recently collected from mainland Internet news.

Cao Sheng looks more handsome in each photo.

Because photos that are not handsome enough are not within her collection range.

Looking at the photo of Cao Sheng on the computer, she smiled from the bottom of her heart and whispered to herself: “So handsome! And so talented…”

……

Under the night.

The train is heading to Huizhou.

Chang Qingshu sat at the head of the soft sleeper bed, flipping through a newspaper.

He was reading a piece of news related to Cao Sheng.

The title is: “Many famous writers including Northwest Wolf, Dagger, Old Spear, and Jiang Shang Qing Feng have condemned Huang Shuren!”

The main text reads: “Recently, many famous writers such as Northwest Wolf, Dagger, Old Spear, and Jiang Shang Qingfeng have published articles in newspapers to criticize and condemn the works and character of Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

What’s interesting is that after Zhongyuan Yidianhui held a press conference to fight back and ruined the reputation of Huang Shuren and Gongyang Buyu, Northwest Wolf, Dagger, Old Spear, Jiang Shang Qingfeng, Shangguan Buer and others all spoke out in newspapers or on television, saying that the articles condemning and criticizing Zhongyuan Yidianhui in the newspapers were not written by them, but by Huang Shuren, who took advantage of his previous friendship with them and published those articles criticizing Zhongyuan Yidianhui in the newspapers in their names. In response, they condemned Huang Shuren and announced that they would sever ties with Huang Shuren and would no longer be friends with him…”

After reading this news, Chang Qingshu felt like his eyes were opened.

Still carrying something like this?
Is what writers like Northwest Wolf and Dagger say true?
Were those previous articles in newspapers condemning Zhongyuan Yidianhui really written by Huang Shuren impersonating them?
Is Huang Shuren so bold?

……

Inside an Internet cafe.

Song Chao, Cao Sheng’s former roommate, felt discouraged when he saw the pitiful number of collectors of his new work “Sword God” published under the banyan tree.

Ever since he saw Cao Sheng’s works published, and found that he was famous, rich, and had so many beautiful women chasing after him, he felt that I could sleep with him too.

I began to want to learn and emulate Cao Sheng.

He thinks his writing skills are pretty good. When he was in junior high school, his composition was singled out and praised by his teacher!

Unfortunately, this is already the fourth work he has attempted to create, but still not many people read it.

This made him doubt his writing ability.

Then I thought of Cao Sheng.

Sometimes, he felt that it was a waste for Cao Sheng to reject so many beautiful women who pursued him.

Is he a man?
But more often than not, he envied Cao Sheng’s achievements.

Sometimes, he couldn’t help thinking: Did I start writing novels too late? If I had written novels at the same time as Cao Sheng, maybe my novels would have been published, I would have become famous, and there would be beautiful senior and junior students chasing after me.

but……

The more beautiful the picture you imagine, the more lost you will feel when you come to your senses.

Originally, he came to the Internet cafe tonight with a handwritten manuscript, intending to publish it online.

But at this moment, looking at the “Sword God” with only 18 collections, he couldn’t muster up the enthusiasm.

He pursed his lips, threw the manuscript aside, and began to surf the Internet aimlessly.

Like a white shark in the waves.

By chance, this wandering guy suddenly saw a piece of news related to Cao Sheng.

“Gong Yang Bu Yu was beaten into a pig’s head by his nephew, presumably because he exposed his perverted thoughts about his sister-in-law in “Gong Yang Diary”!”

Song Chao was a little surprised.

Gong Yang Bu Yu was beaten into a pig’s head by his nephew?

“Ram Diary”?
Was it because of what Cao Sheng read out in public at the press conference that Gongyang Buyu was beaten by his nephew?
Out of curiosity, he clicked on the news.

After a closer look, it was just as he guessed. Gongyang Buyu’s nephew had poor academic performance since childhood and was not interested in the diaries and collections of essays published by his uncle. After many of Gongyang Buyu’s early works were published, he would give a copy to his sister-in-law, but he never gave her “Gongyang Diary”.

His nephew, who didn’t like reading, had never thought of buying a copy of his uncle’s work.

It was not until Cao Sheng read out the passage about his sister-in-law in Gongyang Diary in public at a press conference that the nephew learned about the matter from the ridicule of his friends.

I was furious at the time. Who could tolerate another man thinking about his mother? And she was already dead?

Wouldn’t this mean that his mother would be laughed at and mocked even after her death?

What annoyed him the most was that the person who was thinking about his mother was his own uncle. This beast not only wrote down his shameful and crooked thoughts in his diary, but also published it.

It is simply unbearable!

The day the nephew found out about this, he rushed to Gong Yang Bu Yu’s house and beat him until his head turned into a pig’s.

……

The next morning.

Cao Sheng rode his bike to the school gate and was suddenly stopped by a middle-aged man waiting at the gate: “Brother! Brother! It’s me! Chang Qingshu, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.”
