Chapter 445 446【Three years in a hurry】
After three years of postgraduate study, Xiang Nan, Zheng Wei, Ruan Wan, and Zhu Xiaobei have lived a fulfilling and busy life.
Learning knowledge, doing design, working on projects, and writing papers are already a lot of subjects. What''s more, Xiang Nan and Zhu Xiaobei still have novels to write, which adds to the burden.
?But fortunately they are still young and can still bear it. If you continue to do this after the age of thirty, you won''t be able to hold on anymore.
In these three years, Xiang Nan has achieved a lot.
In terms of academics, he has passed the exams with high scores for three consecutive years and has excellent grades. Moreover, his design also won the National Excellent Architectural Design Award. His research topic [Research on Cost Control of Real Estate Development Projects] was highly praised by his tutor.
In terms of career, "Fights Break the Sphere" was completed after two years of serialization. During the serialization period, it had a collection of 3 million and an average subscription of 280,000. It ranked first in the fantasy novel rankings and brought Xiang Nan tens of millions in royalties.
After finishing "Fights Breaking the Sphere", Xiang Nan serialized "Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain", which was also very popular.
In terms of physical novels, "River God 2", "Vulcan", "God of Calamity", and "God of Wealth" have also been launched one after another, plus a series of medium-sized novels such as "Shameful Iron Fist", "Riding the Wind and Waves", "Hot Pot Hero" and so on. A novel…
Xiang Nan’s annual output of words exceeds three million, and he writes an average of nine thousand words a day, which can be said to be quite productive. And these words also brought him huge income.
The publishing royalties alone are more than 50 million yuan. And this is only a small part of the income.
Film and television adaptation rights are the most profitable way for Xiang Nan.
?Flying Swords of Dragon Gate was released in 2011 with a box office of 560 million, which once again won recognition for Xiang Nan''s script. The release of "Love to the End" in the same year revitalized the youth romance movie market, causing the price of the IP in Xiang Nan''s hands to skyrocket.
In 2012, "Twelve Chinese Zodiac Signs", "The Lost Journey of Thailand", "Detective Dee: The Dragon King"; in 2013, "Chinese Partners", "Yenjing Meets Seattle", "Thirty-three Days of Love" ", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"...
??Movies adapted from Xiang Nan''s novels have repeatedly topped the annual box office rankings, almost dominating them. This also makes the price of the IP in his hands higher and higher.
Even "I''m Not the God of Medicine", "Young You", "Flying Life", "The Climber", "Wuwen Xidong", etc., which were not favored before, have now increased in price to more than 10 million.
?In the film and television industry, Xiang Nan’s status is even comparable to Gao Mantang, Zou Jingzhi, and Zhou Meisen. Hai Yan et al. It can be said to be quite awesome!
…
In terms of love, Xiang Nan and Zheng Wei also get along very well.
??And not only are they deeply affectionate, but the relationship between Zheng Wei and Chen Xiaozheng''s mother has also made progress.
?For three consecutive years, Xiang Nan took Zheng Wei home.
Because the son is really making a difference now, the mother''s face is much happier.
?Although the furniture in the house has not been changed, a lot of appliances have been added.
?Air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, TVs...basically everything you need.
Actually, Xiang Nan has proposed many times that he would like to invite his mother to live in Hujiang. In this way, we are close, and luckily we have someone to take care of us. But she wouldn''t listen.
“Back then, your dad and I lived here, and your dad’s bones were buried here. So I wanted to stay with him,” the mother explained.
Hearing what she said, Xiang Nan had no choice but to forget it.
?However, in order to ensure her well-being, he still paid for a part-time worker to come over every day to help her buy groceries, cook, and talk. This would prevent her from being alone at home and no one would know if she was sick.
…
As for Zheng Wei, Ruan Wan, and Zhu Xiaobei, there have been quite a few changes in the past three years.
Zheng Wei is already twenty-five years old after three years of graduate school. She is no longer the eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl she was when she first entered college. Therefore, there have been obvious changes in speech, behavior, and dressing. The most obvious example is that she always liked to wear bright colors such as red, yellow, and pink before, but now she wears more low-key colors such as black, gray, white, light green, and light blue.
??Moreover, the cute bob she had before has now been replaced by long wavy hair, making her look both charming and mature. Of course, her studies are also good. Her research direction is interior architectural design.
She has done the interior design for the dozens of houses owned by Xiang Nan, and most of them have been rented out now. The response from the tenants was quite good, and they all thought the decoration was very innovative.
Ruan Guan has been a graduate student for three years, but he is still alone and has no boyfriend.
?However, her suitors never stopped. Graduate students in the same department, juniors still in college, and even teaching assistants and associate professors all came to pursue her.
But Ruan Wan was never tempted.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhang, who has graduated, still goes back to school to see her every now and then.
??Although he pretended to be passing by every time, under the guise of seeing Zheng Wei and Xiang Nan, in fact, his thoughts about Ruan Wan had long been obvious.
"Open it up, and you can just chase it. Why are you still hiding it like this? Are you pretending that we are all blind and can''t see it?" Zheng said with a smile.
"Ouch, stop making trouble." Zhang Zhangyi listened and waved his hands and said, "Who am I, and who is Ruan Guan. As a real estate agent, I earn several thousand yuan a month. It''s difficult to support myself. How can I have the strength? Go after someone?
Even if I catch her, so what? I have the heart to let her live in a group rental with me, eat lunch for a few yuan, and even take a taxi. Do I have to squeeze in the bus and subway to work? "
“Your conditions are a bit low, but you have enthusiasm.” Zheng Wei advised, “Ruan Ruan is not a person who covets wealth and cares about gains and losses.”
"She doesn''t have to care, but I''m a man, so I have to care." He opened his eyes and said with red eyes, "I am a person who has an unsuccessful career and no lower limit on my achievements. I am ugly but have a controlling appearance, and I have no money but am still willful. How can I deserve it? Go to Ruan Wan?
I am only qualified to watch her from the sidelines. As long as she can be happy, I will be satisfied. "
"Open it, you..." Zheng Wei was moved and sad when she heard what he said.
…
?Zhu Xiaobei has been a graduate student for three years and has also not been in love.
According to her own words, those classmates all regarded her as a buddy, and no one was willing to chase her.
But in fact, Xiang Nan knew that she was not happy.
She must still be thinking about Xu Kaiyang, whose whereabouts are unknown after graduation.
It''s just that she should have unrequited love.
Even if she stayed with Xu Kaiyang for the rest of her life, Xu Kaiyang might not know her thoughts.
Even if he knew it, he would probably not love her. After all, for Xu Kaiyang, what is not available is the best.
?Zheng Wei has always been a thorn in his heart.
?However, Zhu Xiaobei was frustrated in love and successful in his career.
Her research topic [Research on the Protection and Utilization of Historic Buildings] was highly praised by her tutor.
??Furthermore, she wrote the novel "Secretly Like You" and even sold the film and television adaptation rights, which made her a small profit. As a result, she was able to successfully buy a house in Hujiang. She can be considered a homeowner, which is quite good.
