Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. October is almost over soon. We are heading into the 2nd last month of the year. It is almost time to reflect on what we have achieved this year and make a new resolution for 2018.
Lan Ning is back today but without Yan Ru Yu although he was mentioned. A short chapter today as that is all I could do. Enjoy the read!
Chapter 31.1:
Lan Ning was extremely embarrassed by those words. She did not stay in his house for a long time and hurriedly ran out. When she got home, Qu Tong was still keeping her posture, sitting in the chair motionless.
Lan Ning took off her shoes while saying: “Do not sit there so long. Get up and move about.”
Qu Tong slowly turned her head and looked at Lan Ning. She asked: “Sister Lan Ning, what is the relationship between you and Teacher ah?”
“What do you mean by our relationship? It is the relationship between editor and author?”
“Oh….” How come she don’t think as such? She stood up from the chair and sway a little. “It seems like Brother Ye Cheng has not chance already”
“What are you saying?” Lan Ning looked at her and saw her walking back into her room. She frowned: “Are you heading back into your room? I thought I told you to move about a little?” Don’t tell me that she is also a Taurus.
Qu Tong sighed: “I am now in a bad mood. I do not want to move.”
“What happen to you?” Lan Ning asked.
“Heart broken.”
Lan Ning : “………..”
Really don’t understand these young people now.
Qu Tong, standing in front of her room, turned to looked back at Lan Ning and said: “I guess Teacher is a very famous writer. Said want to buy a house, will buy a house. His income must be very impressive.”
“Well, n……”
“Is that Teacher Xing Xin?”
Lan Ning : “………….”
Qu Tong looked at her with a surprised: “That is really Teacher Xing Xin? I saw you posting on Weibo that he has delivered his manuscript.” This post is widely re-blog on the internet. She saw it on the home page without paying much attention.
“I did not expect Teacher Xing Xin to be so handsome! If he put his photos printed on the book, the sales will definitely double!”
Lan Ning warned her: “Without Teacher’s permission, you cannot expose his personal information. And it is not allowed to be posted on the internet.”
“Do not worry. This common sense I sitll know.” Qu Tong jumped ahead twice. “Ah ah aha! I really like Teacher Xing Xin’s book. He is sooooo handsome!”
Oh, brother Ye Cheng has such a strong opponent ah. I can only help you until here.
Qu Tong head back into her room. Later, Lan Ning also returned to her bedroom. She surf online for a while and suddenly remember what Qu Tong just said. She is also curious about Teacher Xing Xin’s income. She searched the domestic write Rich List, looking for last year’s ranking. Teacher Xing Xin came in third in royalty income…. twenty thousand one million.
“Cough cough.” Lan Ning was suddenly choked, suddenly coughing twice.
God is too unfair. Why a person like Teacher Xing Xin, such a lazy person, can earn so much money while a small hardworking editor like her, only earn a meager wages monthly to survive!
She log onto QQ and started complaining to Dai Qing.
Dai Qing : You are less balanced. What you see are the top of the pyramid writer. There are many small starved star that you did not see.
Lan Ning : Are you talking about yourself?
Dai Qing : …………[goodbye]
Dai Qing : People like Teacher Xing Xin is so tired. At the age of 17 years old, already on the big and red carpet. He can be regarded as the ancestral reward. There is no such talent, or writing is fun, or writing about life to death and then re-birth.
Lan Ning : …………………
She fell heavily on the bed and stared at the ceiling. In the recent years, she has seen many authors. Most of them are obscure. There are many because they cannot go on, and then finally disappeared. People like Teacher Xing Xin, already shining when debuted, in the whole literary are relatively rare.
Perhaps like really what Dai Qing said, this is the ancestral reward to eat.
She rolled in the quilt around for a while and the bounce up to blog. She logged onto her Weibo.
Cauliflower : To all the author out there, continue to work hard. There will always have a return!
