Chapter Nineteen.
Walking out of the shooting scene of the children's program "430 Shuttle Machine", Chen Xiaotang felt depressed and took a deep breath in the sky.
I originally joined TVB with confidence, thinking that I would be able to make a fortune with my ability to be foresight. Who knew that I had made such a big fuss in just two days?
What to do? Is it really like this that I am going home? What should I do if I promised my parents in front of them? Is it a slap in the face?
No!
You must never give up like this!
There must be a way to solve this problem.
Chen Xiaotang groped and wanted to touch a cigarette out of his pocket, but accidentally touched a business card.
By the way, why did I forget him?
Chen Xiaotang, who was happy, seemed to see the sunshine and hurriedly took out his business card. Yes, Zheng Shaoqiu, maybe he can help him...
…………………………………………………
Inside the phone booth.
Chen Xiaotang called Zheng Shaoqiu.
"Brother Qiu, it's me, Chen Xiaotang, the one in the nightclub!"
"It's you," Zheng Shaoqiu recognized his voice suddenly. "Why haven't you come to me for so long?"
"Well, I'm a little busy lately---I'm working on wireless now, but I've gotten into some trouble..." Chen Xiaotang didn't expect Qiu Guan to be so enthusiastic about him.
"Please tell me."
"I hit someone."
"who----?"
"The director of children's program-----"
Before Chen Xiaotang could finish his words, the other end suddenly said, "So it was you who called Gou Yanxiang into the hospital?!" He seemed to be surprised.
"No, so soon... people know?" Chen Xiaotang was surprised.
"How big is wireless? Besides, the people here are professional media, and gossip spreads faster than anyone else!"
"Is there any remedy?"
There was a moment of silence over there, "I'll help you think of a solution."
"Thank you, Brother Qiu." Chen Xiaotang said gratefully.
"What are you grateful for? But you have to change your temper. Sometimes you will suffer a loss if you are too straight."
"I understand, thank you!" Chen Xiaotang hung up the phone. Although Zheng Shaoqiu didn't say that he would definitely be able to help him. But where is his fame and energy? If he can't even deal with such a thing, it's really unreasonable.
After calling, there was no place to go, so Chen Xiaotang went home directly. His father Chen Fugui asked him, saying that he just said that he had gotten off work early today and did not tell him what happened in the company. Sometimes the old man was already worried enough, so there was no need to make them worry.
After getting into his own room, Chen Xiaotang began to continue to create his first novel, "The Best Housekeeper".
To be honest, Chen Xiaotang did not write books to become famous. He also knew that it seemed difficult to become famous by relying on this. After all, martial arts has reached an era of decline, and no matter how powerful he is, he will never be able to make a fuss. In addition, he is not born to rely on writing books to support his family. He does not have the energy or perseverance to sit still. He thinks about manuscripts all day long, which makes him crazy. But why does he still do this? The purpose is very simple, and it is purely to earn some extra manuscript fees to supplement his family's income.
You can’t be such a big man asking his family for money from time to time, right?! Even the younger sister looks down on him. Are he still a man?
Chen Xiaotang has been thinking for a long time. The only thing he can do now is to write a novel to make a living by relying on some "experience". Don't always let your family look down on you. Make a fortune by writing novels. That is the plot that only appears in the nonsense novels in previous lives.
It is very difficult to move the pen, but Chen Xiaotang gritted his teeth and endured it. In a few days, he wrote about twenty chapters, and it was still 40,000 to 50,000 words. It was time to publish it, so where was it published? At this time, Chen Xiaotang suddenly remembered the newspaper where his sister Chen Xiaoxiao worked - Hong Kong Ming Pao!
As we all know, the reason why Hong Kong Ming Pao was able to become a three-legged newspaper in Hong Kong is because they have a great god, that is, the martial arts master - Jin Yong!
In the early days of Ming Pao's business, although the founders kept changing the content of the supplement and changing the news route, and Jin Yong even wrote "The Legend of Condor Heroes" while he was sick, Ming Pao still gradually slid towards the "sense, sex, and dogs and horses", with sales fluctuations between thousands of copies, and the first year was severe.
The old employees of Ming Pao all remembered his hard work back then. On the one hand, they often had to write all night long, and on the other hand, they were worried about economic problems. There is a legend that he had to rely on pawnshop to maintain Ming Pao for a while. According to the old employees of Ming Pao, "Mr. Cha was really miserable at that time. He was tired of work in the afternoon and ordered a cup of coffee, and he also drank with Mrs. Cha."
At that time, Jin Yong lived in Tsim Sha Tsui. When he got off work late at night, he had to change to a ferry boatman, commonly known as "Shahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ni Kuang once said: "The Ming Pao does not go bankrupt, all depends on Jin Yong's martial arts novels." At that time, Jin Yong's martial arts serialized in the Business Daily had a large number of readers. Many people began to pay attention to Ming Pao in order to read Jin Yong's martial arts. Gradually, Jin Yong's martial arts novels laid the foundation of Ming Pao, and with Shen Bao's new business methods, Ming Pao's advertising business has steadily increased. Until today, they have only become one of the eight major newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong.
Chen Xiaotang, who knows this history, has reason to believe that according to Mr. Jin Yong's eyes, his novel has definitely sold its own selling points.
Make up your mind. By noon, Chen Xiaotang pulled his younger sister Chen Xiaoxiao to his room.
"What are you doing? Do you want to pay back my money? Let's agree first. If you want to borrow money, please do not have a talk!"
"Don't just talk about money at any time, it hurts your relationship!" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.
"Tsk, what's my relationship with you? Other brothers buy this and that for the younger sister, so you're always empty-handed!"
"Who said that this is there!" Chen Xiaotang took out a card like magic.
"Come on, sister, I'll help you put it on!"
"No need!" Chen Xiaoxiao took the card and fiddled with it in his hand, "Tsk, it's all bargains!" But he was reluctant to throw it away.
"Although it's a bargain, it's my intention!"
"Tell me ------!"
"What?"
"If you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief. What do you ask me for?!"
“………?!!!”
"Little sister, you are such a wise, martial, and understanding woman who is smart, smart, wise and beautiful!"
"Don't flatter, the louder the flatter the more difficult things are!"
"Tsk tsk, I know how to be human and considerate. I really don't know who is lucky to marry you!" Chen Xiaotang smiled and took out his novel manuscript, "Okay, that's it. I want to publish it in your newspapers. I don't know if it's OK?"
Chen Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes flashed and she rolled her eyes, "Who do you think I am? I am the assistant editor who has been at work for less than three months. The probation period has not passed yet. How can I make a decision on such a big thing?!"
"Well, that's right? Or you can take a look first and see if I wrote it well..." Chen Xiaotang said in a second opinion.
Chen Xiaoxiao then coughed and looked very intellectual, "I'm helping you review the manuscript, you're still a little bit of vision!"
"That's right, please ask the future official editor Miss Chen Xiaoxiao to take a closer look and make strict corrections!"
"That's true. For literature, I will not commit favoritism and fraud. Of course, I don't recognize my relatives! Because literature is very sacred!" Chen Xiaoxiao said and opened Chen Xiaotang's novel manuscript.
After reading less than two pages, he frowned and said, "What are you writing about? How can you run to another world if you die?! It's simply a random fabrication, without any scientific basis!"
Chen Xiaotang was depressed. This was a masterpiece from his previous life. Isn’t it for her appetite?!
"Don't you draw conclusions so early, okay? Take a closer look at it, and the exciting ones are all behind!"
"No need to read it. The front is so bad. How good can it be?!" Chen Xiaoxiao threw the manuscript into Chen Xiaotang's hands, "I said, brother, don't dream anymore. If you don't have that kind of talent, you should accept your fate!"
"I accept your fate and you are so tall. Even your sister doesn't support me. So what else can I talk about in the future?!" Chen Xiaotang lay on the bed angrily, not expecting that this world is so difficult to survive! How can he make great achievements in the future, punch the North Sea Hulk and kick Ultraman in the South Sea?!
When Chen Xiaoxiao saw that Chen Xiaotang was really angry, his tone became softer and pushed him, "Brother, are you angry?"
"No!"
"But you look like that."
"Is that true?" Chen Xiaotang ignored her with his arms around.
"Brother-----" Chen Xiaoxiao pushed him again.
"What are you doing?"
"You really want to publish this novel?"
"What do you think? Otherwise, how could you just flatter you?!"
"Maybe, I can hand it over for you..." Chen Xiaoxiao bit his bright lips.
"This is what you said-------!" Chen Xiaotang turned around and added, "Don't be slouched."
"I'm afraid that the manuscript will be rejected if it is handed over!"
"How could it be? You can't appreciate this novel, but someone may not be able to recognize it with keen eyes? Do you think everyone in the world is blind!"
"Maybe------!"
"No, maybe, it's certain!" Chen Xiaotang pressed Chen Xiaoxiao's shoulder solemnly, "You just wait and see, a dazzling new star is about to rise in the Hong Kong martial arts and literary world!"

Some book friends say why they copy books again. What I want to explain is that this is just a part-time job where the author wants to feed his stomach. Like you and me, he is willing to do anything to fill his stomach, right?!
