My boss betrayed me

"My heart is so empty!"

Nangong Yue couldn't involve Xia Muchu, so she could only say this.

"If this book is considered a success, apart from its own little bit of characteristics, it is largely due to the unpredictable randomness of commercial demand. It is simply a matter of luck and pure mercy from God.

I thought to myself that I must not get carried away with the current situation and that I must keep my feet firmly planted on the ground to feel at ease.

Su Lundao nodded involuntarily, secretly surprised.

"It's amazing that he can keep his head clear in this situation! Since the author himself sees these issues so clearly, he no longer holds back and says,

“Your work does have unique highlights, but the fact that it has such high value and has triggered such a hot response is indeed fueled by commercial operations behind the scenes.

It is really admirable that you can see this so clearly! People who are knowledgeable know that it is not a good thing for a person to become famous too early without sufficient artistic skills and psychological preparation.

Many talented people are often like those brilliant but short-lived fireworks, disappearing in an instant, and most of them have fallen into this big pit. "

"but,"

Su Lundao changed the subject and continued,

"This is a great opportunity for you. It is a rare opportunity for any author. I think that keeping a clear mind and implementing it in the work is to stabilize the foundation.

Maintain and improve the quality of your works, calm down and strive to create two or three very substantial masterpieces in recent years, seize this opportunity to soar to success and attract a group of readers who will follow you wholeheartedly.

And this readership will become the foundation of your future survival.”

Nangong Yue said,

"I know women very well, and I have some thoughts on gender equality. Based on this consideration, I want to write a novel about women, and I have made some preliminary preparations. I would like to ask you, what aspects should I focus on when writing about this subject? What issues should I pay attention to?"

Su Lundao replied,

"I noticed that your work has clear social themes and political tendencies. So, I would like to first hear your basic views on gender equality."

Nangong Yue responded,

"I think it is a waste of time to discuss the issue of equality in an abstract way. It is meaningless. The issue of equality must not ignore the physiological differences between men and women. This is a hard and fast rule!

Secondly, we cannot ignore the level of development of productivity, which is of paramount importance; thirdly, the specific content of gender equality varies greatly in different regions, nationalities, and religions.

In addition, some equality issues belong to the legal field, while others belong to the moral field. They must not be confused and must be clearly distinguished. Simply put, if we do not recognize differences, it will be impossible to achieve true equality.

The direct consequence of absolute equality is the ruthless oppression of women, which is unbearable! "

“This topic may sound small, but in fact it is a bottomless pit, and it is harder to write well than to climb to the sky.”

Su Lundao thought for a moment and then said,

"There are countless works on this subject, but high-quality works are rare. They are either empty formalism or extremely mediocre, confined to small emotions and pettiness. These are deadly minefields that must be avoided with great caution.

As for what you focus on, I think the greatest advantages of your work are the broad and grand story structure, the fast pace, the fierce and exciting confrontation, the high artistic taste and the strong readability.

You should develop these advantages, form your own unique style, and stand out among female writers."

"I am so lucky to have your guidance. I am so lucky."

Nangong Yue said,

"I will write with all my strength, and I hope you can help me to strictly check it after I finish it."

"no problem."

Su Lundao said,

"I can't say I can give you any advice, but it's easy enough to provide some reference opinions."

Nangong Yue looked at her watch, stood up and said goodbye.

"I'm so sorry to bother you during your lunch break. I have to be at China Resources Bookstore at two o'clock, so I have to leave quickly."

Su Lundao sent Nangong Yue out the door and said before leaving,

"When you get back, say hello to Mr. Xia for me."

"Thank you."

Nangong Yue said goodbye with a smile.

China Resources Bookstore is a subsidiary of China Resources Publishing Company, located in the prime location of Shengjing Haidian District. The news that four authors would sign and sell books here at the same time was announced a few days ago, so there were a large number of people and bustling book buyers, most of whom were young people.

Nangong Yue arrived at the bookstore almost on time, but was still a little late because the book signing and sale had already started in full swing, with the four authors each occupying a counter.

Nangong Yue is the only female author and the youngest, but her business is booming. At the beginning, she and the readers could occasionally exchange a few words.

Later, I was so busy that I was dizzy and overwhelmed. I could not take care of anything else and could only sign one book after another. My right hand went from sore to painful, and from painful to numb. I couldn't even believe that those were my own words.

At this time, a mysterious rich man suddenly appeared and bought two thousand books from Nangong Yue. He also said on the spot that he would invest in her next work and set up a special studio.

He also promised to use all his resources to make her a super best-selling author, and to hold a global book signing tour for her so that her works would become popular all over the world. This stunned everyone present, and also surprised and delighted Nangong Yue, who felt as if she was in a beautiful dream.

The bookstore manager was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He directed the staff to move books and maintain order in the store.

The book signing event lasted until 6pm. Nangong Yue signed nearly 8,000 books, with a turnover of more than 200,000 Dragon Teng coins. When I left the bookstore, it was already dark as ink. According to the arrangement of the publishing company,

In the evening, everyone was going to enjoy a luxurious dinner together. Nangong Yue once again rejected the kind invitation of the person in charge and only let the company's car take her to the designated location - the gate of Shengjing Normal University.

In her schedule, there was someone she had to meet before leaving Beijing, so she called in advance to make an appointment. She still had four hours before boarding the train, so she didn't have much time.

The light snow was still falling heavily, and the howling north wind blew the snowflakes in the air all over the sky. The bare branches were shivering and shaking in the cold wind. The road was busy with cars and people, and the lights were brilliant and colorful.

Nangong Yue stood on the snow beside the road in her coat, looking at her watch from time to time, her heart was in turmoil.

"Why is time passing so slowly?"

At seven o'clock, a white luxury Crown car drove over at lightning speed and stopped beside Nangong Yue. A young man got out of the car and shouted,

"Sister Xia!"

The person who came was Ma Zhiguo.

Looking at the car again, except for the Shengjing license plate, everything else has not changed, making it look particularly familiar.

Li San was wearing a leather jacket and jeans. He seemed to have grown taller, but he still looked simple and honest. Nangong Yue looked at him and smiled.

"You drove here, so impressive, so cool!"
