Chapter 992 Chapter 994 [If there is a flower that can be broken, it must be broken]
In the following time, Xiang Nan helped his family sell fish as usual, while doing homework and writing novels.
By September 1st, before school started, Xiang Nan had finished writing the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Jingjue Ancient City", and sent it to Jingu Legend Magazine.
? ?Two hundred and fifty thousand words, which also brought him an income of 20,000 yuan. In 2004, the monthly salary of ordinary people was only about 1,000 yuan, so 20,000 yuan was considered a lot of money.
According to Xiang Nan''s estimation, it would be enough for him to use for two years.
After finishing writing "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp: The Wonderful Ancient City", Jingu Legend Magazine called again, asking if there was a continuation of the story "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp".
Because this novel received a lot of praise when it was serialized in a magazine. Many readers have written, called, and emailed, praising this novel for its novel subject matter, bizarre story, and vivid characters. They all hope that more of it will be serialized in each issue.
Seeing that the novel has received such a good response, the magazine naturally hopes that Xiang Nan can continue writing it. After all, the stories of Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang are not over yet, and there are still many stories to be written about Captain Mo Jin.
…
“Editor-in-Chief Feng, I originally only thought of this one as the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am not a professional writer, writing is just my hobby.
As you know, writing novels doesn’t make any money now. I just use it as a play pen. I still have my own work to do, so I won’t continue writing. "
“Mr. Chu, don’t think like that. I think you have great creative talent. It would be a pity if it was just wasted like this.
Well, I will increase your remuneration to 120 yuan per 1,000 words. When Feng Yunlong heard this, he immediately advised, "Do you think it''s appropriate?" "
"If it''s one hundred and fifty words per thousand, I think you can still try." Xiang Nan hesitated and said.
“One hundred and five thousand words?!” Feng Yunlong couldn’t help being surprised. Xiang Nan''s appetite is really big.
In 2004, one thousand words and one hundred and fifty words, that is the kind of treatment only a well-known writer can get.
?However, having said that, Xiang Nan wrote the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" really well. Even he has read so many novels, and now he is fascinated by it. It’s been a long time since I’ve read such a wonderful and ups and downs popular novel.
?Hence, one hundred and fifty words per thousand is not too outrageous.
“Okay, I’ll fight for you.” Feng Yunlong nodded.
After discussion with Jingu Legend Magazine, Xiang Nan’s request of one hundred and fifty words per thousand words was agreed to. But he is also required to ensure the quality. Otherwise, the magazine has the right to delete the article and deduct the royalties.
Hang Nan agreed with this.
…
In addition to selling fish, doing homework, and writing novels, Xiang Nan goes on dates with Ling Xiangqian in the library every weekend, eating and watching movies.
?Although the vacation lasted only a month, the relationship between the two warmed up rapidly and developed by leaps and bounds.
Xiang Nan is not as wide as Chu Tiankuo.
??He is too preoccupied, has too low self-esteem, and is always worried that love will affect his grades and future. Therefore, he is always timid in the face of Ling Xiangqian''s affection, and is not magnanimous or proactive enough.
So although we have been in love for nearly a year, let alone hugging or kissing, we have not even held hands.
?This is very similar to Chen Xiaozheng. It is also because of his low self-esteem that he has been in love with Zheng Wei for three years and has never dared to push her down. Instead, he has taken advantage of Lin Jing.
In comparison, Xiang Nan does not have such a big psychological burden.
? He ??has always adhered to the concept of "if there are flowers that can be broken, you must break them off; don''t wait until there are no flowers to break branches". If you don''t have **** with your own girlfriend, why would you keep it for someone else?
…
September 1st, the school officially opened.
On the first day of school, the school organized an exam to test the students’ learning achievements during the holidays.
Hearing this, many students wailed.
?They were busy playing games, sleeping in, and traveling during the summer vacation... and they didn''t do much to review their homework. Taking exams as soon as school starts would kill them.
But for Xiang Nan, the exam is no big deal.
Just take the test, he doesn''t care at all.
The first subject is mathematics. The math paper was very easy to answer. Xiang Nan had finished all the questions in less than half an hour, and he also checked it over and over several times to make sure everything was perfect.
Comparatively, most of the other students frowned after seeing this paper.
“Did you make a mistake? There is a test on the first day of school. Just take the test. The difficulty is so high. You are simply not human!”
“How should I answer the last question? I’m confused. Have we learned that knowledge before? Why don’t I remember it?”
“On the first day of school, the school gave us a warning. It was really well-intentioned! We were afraid that we would not be able to concentrate on studying.”
??The students all commented with sad faces, and they all felt that their test results were not ideal.
“Tiankuo, how did you solve the last big question? Do you think my answer is correct?” Yu Sisi asked Xiang Nan for advice.
"Hey, you don''t have to think about this now. I suggest you pass one subject and fail the other." Xiang Nan waved his hands and smiled, "Instead of clinging to the last paper, it is better to think about the next paper."
“Well, you have a point.” Yu Sisi nodded.
…
At noon, Xiang Nan went to the cafeteria to eat with his classmates.
When the students saw him, they couldn''t help but pay attention.
?Especially the freshman in high school wearing military training uniforms, their eyes were filled with tears when they saw Xiang Nan.
“Wow, that senior is so handsome~”
“He is Chu Tiankuo, the great master in the second year of high school. He ranked first in the city in the high school entrance examination. He got full marks in seven subjects in the final examination last semester. He is a true academic master!”
“Wow, he is really a top student in the school, he is so handsome.”
“He is the benchmark for good looks in the school. There are only two types of boys in our school. One is not as handsome as him, and the other is a god!”
Xiang Nan has long been accustomed to this kind of gaze. He queued up, bought food, and found a seat without any trouble.
“The sky is vast, this way~”, “The sky is vast, here~”
?Chu Tiankuo is approachable, friendly and well-rounded, so he is very popular in school.
Xiang Nan immediately found a seat to sit down and had lunch with everyone.
During the period, he noticed that Ling Xiangqian was planning to come over to eat with him after buying some more food. But seeing that there were people sitting around him, and they were all boys, she quickly shrank back.
Xiang Nan smiled slightly when he saw this.
“Tiankuo, have you heard that Lin Yang has also gone to study literature?” Weekend said with a smile.
"Yes, he hid it well enough. I met him several times during the summer, but he never said anything." Xiang Nan smiled after hearing this.
He knew that Lin Yang went to study literature just for Yu Zhouzhou.
?For this reason, he sneaked into Director Pan''s office in the middle of the night and tampered with the list of liberal arts and science subjects. Later, when the matter was found out, he was punished and almost expelled from school.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy, why is he so good at studying literature?” Zhou Zhou complained.
"Don''t make blind guesses if you don''t know." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Everyone has his own choice, as long as you don''t regret it."
"That makes sense." Weekend nodded, "It seems that Geng Geng, Jian Jian, and Jiang Niannian from Class 5 originally said they would transfer their papers. But when the new semester started, they returned to Class 5."
Xiang Nan nodded, knowing that Geng Geng was doing it for Yu Huai, Jian was doing it for Han Xu, and Jiang Niannian was doing it for Zhang Ping.
By the way, Director Pan once said that "Zhenhua does not fall in love prematurely". In fact, Zhenhua has quite a few people who fall in love prematurely.
After all, we are at an age when hormones are in full swing, and we cannot control them even if we want to.
