What is love? Love is two people asking each other what to eat every day until one of them dies.
Although Li Peifeng has returned to living alone, his daily routine is the same as when he lived at Zhao Qingge's house. Except for the change in sleeping location, he still goes to Lao Zhao's house to work during the day.
"What do you want to have for breakfast?"
"What are you having for lunch?"
"What are you having for dinner?"
There are famous three questions about life in philosophy. Li Peifeng also asked three questions a day. Zhao Qingge gave different answers every time after asking them. This is good.
No matter how troublesome it is to cook, no matter what kind of pot-roasted pork, nine-turn large intestine, squirrel mandarin fish, watermelon braised, lion head, Buddha jumps over the wall, three non-sticks... As long as Zhao Qingge can name the dish, instead of saying 'whatever'
, Li Peifeng can do it.
The trouble is a bit troublesome, but Zhao Qingge also helps with the cooking. The two of them cook together, work hard, and enjoy the food together. This peaceful and happy experience is very good.
As for the project work assigned by Zhao Qingge, Li Peifeng has completed it as scheduled, and the rest of the progress will only be done with the research team after the semester starts. However, he has other tasks and wants Zhao Qingge's help.
Interestingly, this work is also related to the topic of "Research on the International Communication of Internet Literature".
""Sword and Law" is now planning to be published overseas. The translation work was originally handled by the endpoint. They have a special translation team, but you and I both know the quality of their translation. It can only be said to be a little better than the computer translation, even if
Zhan Mian said that it would pay special attention to the translation work of "Sword and Law", but I was not reassured, so I took the translation rights back into my own hands."
"There are also some Chinese book friends who took the initiative to contact me and wanted to help translate "Sword and Law", but I did not agree, because I value the overseas dissemination of this book, so I also attach more importance to the translation of this book.
"
Translation is another dimension of a good book.
Translation of a foreign language book is almost equivalent to rewriting it. After translation, whether it can still be as accurate and rigorous as the original work, and how much the emotions and meanings expressed deviate from the author's original meaning, all of this must be determined.
question mark.
If possible, Li Peifeng would like to do the translation work himself, but he has the ability but does not have the time. Normally, the creation of "Sword and Law" already takes up most of his day, and if he does translation again, the update speed will definitely be slower.
Have an impact.
Therefore, Li Peifeng also wanted Zhao Qingge to help him. He not only had the translation ability, was proficient in foreign languages and had profound literary literacy, but also had a very good understanding of the creative concept of "Sword and Law".
After Li Peifeng proposed this idea, Zhao Qingge agreed without much hesitation, and then gave another suggestion.
"In fact, the translation of "Sword and Law" can be included as part of our current topic. Nothing can better understand the problems faced by the international dissemination of online literature than translating this book.
Translate a popular online article into English and serialize it, and then see how it is received overseas... This is a great example."
Zhao Qingge said: "So I can assign the translation work to the research group. The students will complete the most tedious work first, and then you and I will proofread it. This can save time and energy."
Li Peifeng said in his heart that you, Zhao Duoduo, are the real capitalists, but squeezing free labor like this is a bit blatant.
"Isn't it not very good? It can easily lead to discussion."
Mr. Li tactfully reminded that this is actually a public weapon for private use, and the witty Zhao Qingge also changed his mind and said: "Well, when school starts, I will arrange an on-campus lecture for you. I will mainly talk about this book.
This opportunity means that our research group is expanding its enrollment, and then you can recruit a few students from it to help you translate "Sword and Law", and you can also attach them to this research group."
"This national-level topic is very attractive to both PhDs and graduate students. They can participate in it and publish papers on this topic, which will give them a lot of convenience... Your labor fee can also be appropriately lower, giving you three-quarters of the market price."
Give it a share, and I can help you reimburse part of it with the project funds."
Li Peifeng nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Okay, this method kills three birds with one stone. You are too smart... But forget about reimbursement. The labor fee for the translator is low. I'm afraid there will still be people who gossip. I will pay for this out of my own pocket."
"It's up to you. Send me the archive of the novel after dinner and I'll see if I can translate it for you. When will the overseas version be logged in?"
"There are thirty chapters in the manuscript. After that, three chapters can be translated stably every day."
The overseas version of "Sword and Law" may not be released for at least half a month, but another of Li Peifeng's works adapted into a TV series has been completed.
On the third day before the start of school, director Ding Teng of "The Devil's Boss Got Me" called Li Peifeng to inform him of the completion of filming.
However, after the TV series is finished, there are still post-production, review, and release procedures, so it will be some time before "The Evil Boss" is broadcast, and Li Peifeng doesn't care too much.
He doesn't even care about the performance of "The Boss" after it airs. The copyright has been sold and he didn't handle the filming. The performance after the airing has nothing to do with him.
In the final analysis, Li Peifeng only regards "Evil Boss" as a commodity rather than his own work. Looking at the many books he has written, only the current "Sword and Law" is considered by Li Peifeng to have spent a lot of money on it.
Great effort.
And this dedication has also brought Li Peifeng the most generous rewards in his online writing career.
As of the evening of the 21st, "Sword and Law" had been on the shelves for just five days, and 95,000 words and 25 VIP chapters had been uploaded.
The highest number of subscriptions for a single chapter is 510,000, and the average subscription is 447,000. It ranks first in the best-selling list, first in the monthly ticket list, and first in the reading index of the entire site.
If income such as tips and list rewards are excluded, Li Peifeng can earn nearly 1 million in subscription income from the first twenty-five chapters alone, with a total of 95,000 words in the VIP section.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I made one million in five days. Although there is a factor of breaking the news before it is released, the expected monthly royalties of five million can definitely be achieved.
If other incomes such as tips, external channels, list rewards, etc. are added together, there may be an increase.
Buying an apartment in the capital within two months is not a dream!
The career is booming and a bright future seems to be waving to Li Peifeng.
But the ancients said: People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes.
Therefore, there are wise people who draw a conclusion from the experience that everything has gains and losses: success in the workplace will lead to failure in love.
Well, Li Peifeng's sentence is very applicable to him now. He is successful in the workplace and frustrated in love. The failure does not lie with Zhao Qingge.
During the period of living together, his relationship with Lao Zhao gradually warmed up and became steadily better, so this disappointment was caused by other people.
Starting from the 15th until the last day before the start of school, he had been having a cold war with Wu Wenyue and three other girls for six days...
Six days!
Xu Manying: "It's the seventh day soon, I don't have WeChat, I don't have a phone number, @黄天萱, has she come to see you today!"
Huang Tianxuan: "Is it seven days? From the morning of the 15th, when you told me that Li Peifeng wanted to calm down with us for a while, to now at 17:03 on the 21st, I only remember it is one hundred and fifty-nine hours
No more contact with me."
Wu Wenyue: "I remember it very clearly. Did you have to draw a straight character on your leg every hour?"
Huang Tianxuan: "Don't joke around with me, sister, I'm not big or small!"
Xu Manying: "The first seven weeks of the dead man's life are almost over. He hasn't faked his body yet. It seems he is really dead."
Wu Wenyue: "Just bury it, I've given up."
These six days can be long or short.
After Li Peifeng stated that he wanted to 'calm down', the first reaction of the three girls was anger. They had always taken the initiative to start a cold war with Li Peifeng. Now it was his turn to play this trick. He was purely anti-customer. The girls were completely unprepared and couldn't help but feel.
Angry and annoyed.
Okay, since you are in the first grade of junior high school, we will be in the fifteenth grade. You and Zhao Qingge can live together well. Let’s see if you can bear it if you are willing to trade one old Zhao for the three of us!
Although it was winter vacation, Huang Tianxuan and the other three were busy with their own work. They didn't care if Li Peifeng didn't come to them for a while.
Xu Maning even swore to Wu Wenyue: This bitch will definitely come back to coax us in less than three days, and you and I should not let him off lightly when the time comes!
Wu Wenyue was convinced that Huang Tianxuan had similar thoughts and shouted the slogan: "Dare to love, but also dare to remain indifferent."
The name of the group chat has been changed by her to "Sealing Hearts and Locking Love".
The three of them also made a gentleman's agreement that none of them would take the initiative to contact Li Peifeng in private to end the cold war.
Whoever takes the initiative will lose!
This time it was no different than before. They had agreed not to contact each other, but someone secretly went to Li Peifeng, went back on their word, and tried to seize the opportunity... That doesn't exist.
Because Zhao Qingge, the number one enemy, is there, she is the common enemy of the three of them.
When Li Peifeng and Zhao Qingge were living together, he said those words to the other three, which made the matter very serious.
The three people headed by Xu Manying unanimously believed that this was a life-or-death war.
Women's damn desire to win is at work.
The desire to win between men is often a direct confrontation between two men, such as, I fight better than you, I study better than you. But women are slightly different. Women tend to express themselves in, "He likes me."
I don’t like you, so I’m better than you” type of indirect confrontation.
As for Li Peifeng's preference, Wu Wenyue and others actually understood that Zhao Qingge was indeed ranked first in his heart.
But in the final analysis, they did not believe that Li Peifeng could give up the three of them and choose Zhao Qingge instead.
But if Li Peifeng was asked to choose between Lao Zhao and Wu Xu, or Lao Zhao and Huang Tianxuan, the remaining three would have no choice, so the three of them tacitly chose to join forces.
Okay, now it’s one-on-three, how can we lose? The advantage is mine!
It won't take long for Li Peifeng to come over and lick us.
However, as five days passed, there was still no news from Li Peifeng, as if he had disappeared from the world, with no intention of relaxing. Now the anger in their hearts gradually dissipated, and they couldn't help but panic.
But it was impossible to take the initiative to find Li Peifeng. It would be embarrassing.
The three of them can only discuss this in a small group. The sisters in the group are all losers, and they talk nicely. Everyone warms each other up. They like it very much...
Huang Tianxuan: "Lao Zhao has been posting delicious food in WeChat Moments every day recently. He has three different meals a day. It looks like they are made by Peifeng. Don't you plan to treat them? Are you going to just watch her show off her power?"
Xu Manying: "It's so funny. I've blocked her from my circle of friends a long time ago. She must be pretty!"
Wu Wenyue: "If you want to treat her, go ahead. We support you."
Huang Tianxuan: "Are you going to support me? I'm going to treat Lao Zhao, and you just sit back and watch?"
Wu Wenyue: "I will treat Li Peifeng! If the child disobeys, just give him a good beating!"
Xu Maning: "Paper tiger, give it a rest, @黄天仙, what can you do? Regardless of erecting the memorial arch, we will continue to hang that stinky dog. Even if we look at him, we will lose. Mainly targeting Zhao Qingge! I want to vent my anger! She is too irritating.
Got it!
"
Huang Tianxuan didn't have any good ideas. In fact, what she wanted to find most was Li Peifeng. She wanted to scold Li Peifeng, beat him and kick him, and finally make Li lie on the ground begging for mercy, apologizing with snot and tears.
You're my sister's little bitch. I was wrong. I love you the most. I want to have a baby with you, Tianxuan.'
But the reality does not allow it.
President Huang still needs to be calm and restrained!
If you act impulsively, you will fail!
But if you teach Zhao Qingge a lesson, you can get out of his anger a little, and maybe even get Li Peifeng to take the initiative...
Huang Tianxuan thought for a while and typed: "Look for Lao Zhao to work out, @武文月, you call her. Didn't Lao Zhao ask you to take her with you whenever you go to the gym? Didn't you just look for her during this time?
She once? Using the excuse of fitness, the three of us drilled her hard and gave her a good military training! She was so tired that she was sweating profusely, her face was pale and she couldn't stand still... We took her to do leg exercises! Then we gave her a massage
Stretch! It hurts her to death! It hurts so much that he goes into shock and rolls his eyes!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Wenyue: "Tsk, don't say it, it seems interesting. I didn't find her mainly because you all said you were tired last time... Can you come?"
Huang Tianxuan: "No problem, I'll be there right after dinner."
Wu Wenyue: "I haven't eaten yet, please wait a moment."
Xu Manying: "It's a good idea...but I haven't eaten either. I'm on my way to get off work, @武文月, cooking, @黄天萱, will you come to our place to eat?"
Wu Wenyue: "I won't do it. I'm too lazy. You can buy some and bring it back."
Xu Maning sent a line of ellipses to express her speechlessness.
Huang Tianxuan discovered something that made her even more speechless: "Old Zhao posted on WeChat Moments again. It's after five o'clock every day, and it's more punctual than the alarm clock... He's really sick!"
"Who wants a good cook?!"
Wu Wenyue's voice message almost came out through gritted teeth.
Xu Manying couldn't help but take a look at Zhao Qingge's circle of friends. What a good guy, there are a lot of photos and a lot of dishes on the dinner table.
Steamed Eastern Star Pancake, Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Dry Shreds, Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, and Dumplings!
Xu Maning's heart moved and she guessed: "Getting the dumplings out of the car, Zhao Qingge's text was 'It's the beginning of school, the last meal of the holiday~' Is the smelly dog going to leave?"
…
Li Peifeng did plan to leave. School would start tomorrow and Zhao Qingge would have to go to work. Naturally, he had no reason to go to her house to cook for her during the day.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhao Qingge put down his cell phone, said something casually and started to eat quickly.
Li Peifeng joked: "That's it? Just say hard work and be done with it?"
Zhao Qingge glanced sideways slightly, paused for a moment with his hands, pursed his shiny lips, and kissed Li Peifeng's cheek the next second, and whispered: "Eat quickly."
Li Peifeng didn't take Kuaizi, he put his hands on the table in front of his chest and said with a smile: "You feed me, I want to eat dumplings, the ones you made."
There are large and small dumplings on the plate. The big ones are made by Li Peifeng, and the small ones are naturally made by Lao Zhao.
"You can't do it yourself?"
"I just want you, come on, come on!"
At Li Peifeng's urging, Zhao Qingge hesitated, then picked up a small dumpling with a kuaizi, dipped it in vinegar, and handed it to Li Peifeng's mouth.
"Yeah, it's delicious. Serve me some more soup!"
During this meal, Li Peifeng did not intend to do it himself, and was only responsible for directing Zhao Qingge.
Zhao Duoduo may have considered that Li Peifeng had a hard time cooking for herself these days, and this was the last meal, so she was very tolerant. What he said, what she did, one bite after another, she didn't even care about eating, she just concentrated on it.
Hello Li Peifeng.
This went on for a while, but the seriousness on his face still remained, making Mr. Li unable to bear the teasing: "I'll do it myself, and you can eat it too."
"good."
Zhao Qingge had just pinched two kuaizi when he realized that he had an extra hand on his waist. He frowned slightly and gave Li Peifeng a reproachful look. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he endured it.
Li Peifeng laughed dumbly: "Why are you so obedient today?"
Not for the sake of the food!
Zhao Qingge didn't answer and concentrated on eating, with a look of joy in his eyes as he enjoyed the food.
"Then can we go to bed and cuddle after dinner?"
"..."
"We can try to do some small exercises, which will not only help digestion after meals, but also help you improve certain..."
"Shut up and eat!"
Li Peifeng looked at Zhao Duoduo's side face with a blush, and knew in his heart that the other party had acquiesced.
~
I can’t use my hands this time. It’s boring to use my hands. Let Zhao Duoduo use my mouth!
The dirty Li Peifeng had some dark thoughts that he couldn't elaborate on. Anyway, it wasn't much cleaner than the smelly ditch. The image of the two of them having sex flashed in his mind, and he was looking forward to it.
But reality was destined to disappoint him. Within twenty minutes, Zhao Qingge's cell phone rang...
"Work out? That's fine. I'll be there in a minute."
Wu Wenyue called Zhao Qingge and sent him away.
Li Peifeng also wanted to persuade her to stay: "What's the point of going out and masturbating with them? You can just masturbate at home... and exercise with me."
Zhao Qingge put down Kuaizi unmoved: "I'm done eating. You don't need to wash the bowl. You can go home by yourself after eating... You can also eat quickly. I'll drive you back, which is considered a way."
Li Peifeng silently used [Heart to Heart] to feel Wu Wenyue's state of mind, and frowned: "You'd better not go. They are very resentful at this time. They must not have any good intentions in calling you out. Maybe they just want to prank you."
you."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingge's face turned red for some reason, with a sullen look on his face: "Wouldn't I be...poisoned by you at home?"
Li Peifeng hesitated: "You can also punish me unilaterally, and I will never fight back!"
