The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 859, it's a certainty (please subscribe!)

   Hong has gained weight.

   From the thin and dry editor-in-chief Hong to the president Hong with a belly.

   Zhang Xuan and Tao Ge were both surprised by this, it really subverted the inherent image.

  Tao Ge walked up and joked: "Uncle Hong, although you are so lucky, I'm really not used to it."

  President Hong lowered his head and glanced at his belly, not paying attention: "My wife's illness is cured, I am happy, and I often drink some beer with her at home.

   In addition, after the adjustment of positions, there were more meals, and some of them could not resign. "

   Back at CUHK, after Zhang Xuan arranged President Hong into the study, he accompanied Shuangling and Zou Qingzhu to go grocery shopping.

  Du Shuangling said softly, "I brought a lot of game and mushrooms this time. I remember that both President Hong and Sister Tao love to eat them. They will make a pot later."

   Zhang Xuan happily held her hand: "You are really my good helper."

   "Hey! You two are so numb." Zou Qingzhu next to him had a look of disgust.

   Zhang Xuan asked Zou Qingzhu: "You guys are starting school soon, your fiance won't come to see you?"

  Zou Qingzhu said: "He has been busy recently, and he won't be free until the end of the year."

   bought some vegetables and the three of them started working in the kitchen.

   Seeing him follow up, Du Shuangling was afraid to waste his time: "Go and do your thing, it's enough to have us and Qingzhu here, I'll give her a shot."

   Zhang Xuan shook his head: "No, Xie Qi hasn't arrived yet, I just took the opportunity to rest."

   Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Lei drove Xie Qi over.

   Xie Qi came to Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling's shared room for the first time. She was full of curiosity. As soon as she entered the door, she secretly compared it with her cousin's villa.

  The result came to a conclusion: it is too simple, I am used to living in a villa and don’t want to live here at all.

  Xie Qi handed the two bags of books to Zhang Xuan and introduced: "There are about 40 books here, there are famous books and some materials you need.

   Many of the information and literature are provided by Penguin Press. The president, Allen, is a fan of magic and loves vampire-themed novels very much. When he learned that your next book about vampires was written, he collected a lot of information that is rarely seen in ordinary times. "

   Having said that, Xie Qi approved the information of Allen, the president of Penguin Publishing House, which is half a meter high.

  Zhang Xuan picked some information from it and looked through it, and he was overjoyed immediately. This is exactly what he lacked. As expected of the president of Penguin Publishing House, such precious information can be obtained.

   Seeing the happy look on his face, Xie Qi breathed a sigh of relief. What they wanted most as subordinates was that the boss was happy.

   She took the opportunity to say, "Allen has something for me to bring to you."

   Zhang Xuan stopped flipping the book in his hand: "What?"

  Xie Qi said, "Before I came, Allen solemnly asked me to tell you: You can write the book slowly. If you don't have enough time, you don't have to submit the manuscript next spring. He expects a classic to appear."

   His eyes swept over the piles of thick documents, Zhang Xuan was enthusiastic like never before: "Go back and tell him, let him rest assured, and he will not be disappointed."

   After chatting for a while, when no one was around, Xie Qi suddenly took out a gift from her bag and gave you:

   "Sophie Marceau is also a fan of vampire culture. I learned that you are writing about this subject, and specially picked a gift for you."

   Zhang Xuan was surprised: "I haven't even started writing my book yet, how did she know?"

  Xie Qi told him excitedly: "I learned that you have determined the direction of the next book, Penguin Press and ABC TV have already helped you to promote it, they say this is called preheating.

   Now mainstream media such as Europe and the United States have carried out extensive reports on this, almost all Westerners know about it, and even sparked a heated discussion among celebrities. "

   Zhang Xuan was curious: "Celebrities are talking about it? What did they say?"

  Xie Qi said: "Some celebrities bet on TV shows that you can't write new books well, and that you can't write vampires.

   even said that if you wrote a new one, they danced bare hips on the show. "

   Zhang Xuan was stunned: "Don't wear pants?"

  Xie Qi nodded with a hot face: "I watched the news, and the host said so, and swore to God on the spot that the dance time should not be less than 2 minutes."

   Zhang Xuan laughed, but he didn't get angry, just said: "Go back and help me reply to those celebrities: I will try my best to make him dance this dance well."

   Zhang Xuan took the gift from Sophie Marceau and asked, "What's in it?"

  Xie Qi raised her head and smiled: "It makes more sense for you to take apart the things that the first beauty in France gave you."

   Zhang Xuan followed with a smile: "If Lilith hears what you said, she must break up with you."

  Xie Qi expresses her loyalty: "She is my cousin on the private side, and you are my boss on the public side."

  The old man was speechless, these little girls have turned into fried dough sticks one by one.

  The gift box is very delicate. When I opened it, I found a top brand Montblanc fountain pen, but it was not an ordinary fountain pen. It was inlaid with diamonds.

   Seeing him meditating, Xie Qi said, "This is a pen that Sophie specially made for you."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "It costs a lot."

  Xie Qi shook his head: "I can't tell you this, anyway, according to Sophie's meaning, "BMW gives a hero", such a pen is suitable for your identity."

  This pen is really delicate and beautiful. Zhang Xuan likes it from the bottom of his heart at a glance, "Go back and help me and thank you Sophie."

  Xie Qi made a rare joke: "Don't you have her contact information? She can't say she's waiting for you."

   Zhang Xuan stretched out his hand and nodded: "If I catch up with her, Lilith probably won't be as simple as breaking up with you."

  Xie Qi covered her mouth and smiled and said no more.

   Put away the materials, books, and pens, Zhang Xuan thanked and said, "You have worked hard all night! The kitchen is cooking, so let's have dinner together."

   Xie Qi didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll go to the hotel to rest for a while, and come over later."

   Zhang Xuan personally escorted her downstairs and waited until her back was far away before turning back.

   I couldn't help but shudder when I went up the stairs. They all said that the hero is sad for the beauty pass, how can the beauty pass the hero pass?

  Tsk, being rich and famous is good!

   At 4:30 in the afternoon, Jiang Bai, the vice president of the Chinese School who received the invitation, came over.

  Jiang Bo brought some fruits over and couldn't wait to ask: "Your new book is going to be published?"

   Zhang Xuan said modestly: "It's just finished. Whether it can be published or not depends on President Hong's suggestion."

  Jiang Bai heard a strong confidence in his words, and immediately sighed: "Many people are waiting for your new book, and I am no exception. A friend called me today to ask me about it."

   Hearing this, the old man suddenly felt the pressure coming from his nostrils.

   It is because he has been away from traditional domestic literature for too long. While many people are looking forward to it, it is not ruled out that some people are waiting to watch the fun and jokes.

   Then he thought: Will the King of Beijing jump out this time?

   After all, according to his temperament, he is also a thorn who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, so there is nothing he dare not say.

  I don't know what happened, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a little itchy, and he really wanted to fight with the old king of the capital again.

   During dinner, he deliberately observed the micro-expressions on President Hong's face, but it was a pity that the high-ranking President Hong was very self-contained and didn't show any flaws.

   But the only thing that comforted the old man was that President Hong went back to the study after dinner, and the conversation with his old friend Jiang Bai did not last more than ten minutes.

   Seeing him like this, Tao Ge took a chance to ask quietly, "What's wrong with you? Why do I feel that you are suddenly so cautious?"

  Zhang Xuan also felt inexplicable: "Maybe it has the same reason as "close to the homeland". After preparing for so long, it's time for the test. I'm still a little nervous in my heart."

  Tao Ge understood, this is because he was expecting too much.

   She opened her arms and hugged him: "I believe in my sister's vision, this book is very good, unprecedented."

   "Hmm." Now that things have come to an end, Zhang Xuan can only make the best of Ah Q.

   Then he asked, "How many words do you still have to read?"

   Tao Ge said: "The more you go to the back, the slower you can see. There are about 60,000 words left."

   Then Zhang Xuan asked again: "Then when will you and Xinxin go back to Singapore?"

  Tao Ge looked into his eyes: "I originally planned to leave tomorrow, but seeing you like this, sister is not at ease, so I'd better wait until Uncle Hong finishes reading it."

   Zhang Xuan was a little moved, nodded silently.

   In the next few days, in order to make himself meditate, Zhang Xuan diverted his attention and concentrated on the themes of magic and vampires.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you can’t control it at first glance. The more you look at it, the more excited you are. Every time you look at it, you will find that the memories of vampires in later generations erupt like well water, and then your hands become more and more itchy. The outline of the "City of Light" has been revised countless times by him.

   In the end, he looked at the 7 outline outlines and was a little dumbfounded.

   Niang Xipi's! Is this still "Twilight"? 90% of the content is newly created by yourself, can it still be called "Twilight City"?

   Would you like to change the title of the book too?

   However, this idea was ruthlessly extinguished by him at the same time, although the content has now changed beyond recognition, even far from it.

   But people can't forget their roots. Without this "Twilight City", he would not have thought of writing about vampires, and he still retained the core essence of "Twilight City".

   Besides, the name of "Twilight City" is not bad. It has an indescribable artistic conception, as if a beam of sunset shoots through the layers of gaps into the dark and bottomless forest.

   Forget it, let it be, Zhang Xuan thought.

   "The World" is very long, and President Hong watched it very slowly.

   Every time he saw President Hong put down the tableware and went to the study, a very absurd thought suddenly floated in Zhang Xuan's mind: If you fight like this, don't die suddenly!

  Bah Bah Bah! Crow's mouth, Zhang Xuan patted his big mouth lightly and went down to the first floor for a walk.

   Seeing Lao Deng's son playing with mud on the ground, Zhang Xuan teased him: "Chenchen, come with me, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

  Chenchen's milky voice: "What to eat?"

   Zhang Xuan glanced at Rooney not far away and said, "Fat."

   Hearing the word "fat meat", Chenchen slammed his mouth, swallowed hard, and then shook his head, daring not to go!

   "Don't go, Mom said, I'll kill me if I'm gluttonous." Chenchen said this with difficulty.

   "Yo, it's promising." Zhang Xuan reached out and touched his head, then walked away with his little hands behind his back.

   While walking, he met Du Shuangling and Zou Qingzhu.

   He asked: "The graduate student reporting process is over?"

  Du Shuangling hummed softly.

   Zhang Xuan asked: "I will be a graduate student in the future, how do you feel?"

  Du Shuangling smiled sweetly, came over and took his arm: "My men are all great writers, how can I feel as a little graduate student."

   "Oh my God, I'm getting goosebumps, I can't listen anymore, you guys continue to make out, I'm going home." Seeing the two of them kissing me and me, Zou Qingzhu sneered and ran away in a hurry.

   Zhang Xuan ignored the snail girl and asked, "How is the tutor? Are you a good person?"

  Du Shuangling Pian gave him a look and said with satisfaction: "With you here, can the tutor be okay?"

   Zhang Xuan grinned happily, "That's right, who at CUHK doesn't know that I am a master who loves my wife?"

   Every day after dinner, the two of them talk like this and go for a walk around the campus. Before I know it, a week has passed.

   In this week, Hong Zhenbo's life can be described as simple, no, perhaps boring is more appropriate.

   Every day is reading, making time to eat, and reading.

   Even if there is a bath, toilet, and sleep in the middle, people are still choking time.

   for fear of wasting a cent.

   After 7 days so solemnly, the time came to the afternoon of the eighth day, at 4 o'clock.

   Hong Zhenbo, who was like a stone sculpture, finally moved, the expressionless face he had always maintained was gone, and the seriousness and seriousness were gone.

   I saw President Hong read the last word of the last paragraph, put down the manuscript, took a deep breath, and said heavily to Zhang Xuan:

"The last time I saw such a good work in this genre was "Ordinary World", your book impressed me even more, and it was even more heart-wrenching, worthy of your two years of painstaking efforts, and my two years of waiting was worth it! "

   It is rare to see President Hong say so many compliments in one breath, and the study room was quiet for a while.

   But in stark contrast to the silent room: everyone's faces were filled with rich expressions.

   Zhang Xuan is lighthearted and liberating.

  Tao Ge was happy, Hong Zhenbo's words resonated with her, and she seemed to agree.

  Du Shuangling was very excited at the moment, and there was still a trace of admiration in the depths of his eyes.

   And what about Xinxin and Zou Qingzhu who were on the sidelines? In addition to being happy, there is more envy, envy of Zhang Xuan, envy of Du Shuangling.

  Xinxin looked at Tao Ge and even thought: If the person I picked had half of Zhang Xuan's ability, they wouldn't be reduced to where they are today.

   Tao Ge poured a cup of tea for a few people and asked Hong Zhenbo: "Uncle Hong, how do you arrange the new book?"

   Speaking of business, President Hong put down the teacup and said, "You come back to the capital with me, and prioritize the matter of this book."

  President Hong's "priority" is to mobilize all the power of the people's literature to create momentum for this new book.

  What omni-channel promotion?

  What physical book is published.

  Other works should give way, and those that should be suspended should be suspended first, and the whole issue of "The World" will be given priority.

   In short, it is a sentence: all the human and material resources of people's literature must be fully mobilized in a race against time, in an orderly and intensive manner.

  Tao Ge has stayed in the People's Literature Society for so many years, and naturally understands the profound meaning of "priority", and he is not ambiguous at the moment, so he postponed his trip to Singapore again and said, "Okay."

  President Hong knew that she was short on time, and immediately got up and said, "Then let's go now, finish the work early, and go to Singapore early."

  Tao Ge was a quick-witted man, so he stood up and first said to Zhang Xuan, "You have been busy writing the outline of this book recently, so don't get distracted and go to the capital, and leave it to my sister."

   For Tao Ge, Zhang Xuan is naturally extremely relieved. It happened that he was in a state of ecstasy when he was reading books and reading materials, and he didn't want to leave.

   So he said: "Okay, I'll trouble you about this, I'll wait for your good news."

  Tao Ge turned and asked Xinxin, "Are you going to go shopping elsewhere? Or wait for me here? 2 days if I'm quick, 3 days if I'm slow."

  Xinxin thought for a while: "I'll go to the Shanghai stock market. I plan to stay longer this time and say goodbye to Oriole."

  Tao Ge said, "That's ok. In that case, pack up and go to the airport with us."

  I heard that Xinxin went to the third floor to pack up.

   Half an hour later, Tao Ge, President Hong and Xinxin got into the Mercedes-Benz.

   Seeing that Zhang Xuan was about to follow, Tao Ge stopped him directly, and said meaningfully: "You can send it here. If you think about my sister, call my sister, don't make it so difficult to part."

   Zhang Xuan: "."

   Knowing that this was her good intentions, the old man who was just pretending to stop decisively stopped.

   He is very busy right now, and he is so busy that he has no time to fully understand the idiom "Done". How can he still go to the airport to see him off?

  It's all polite, hey, what a ****, people are so hypocritical.
