Chapter 601 "Deep Sea"·Gu Nan (8 updates·Please vote for me)
Gu Nan is an international student who has been staying with a beautiful country family since the second year of junior high school and studying in a beautiful country. She has lived alone for eight years without the company of her family in the beautiful country. She is now in her third year of college.
From the time she started boarding in the second grade of junior high school until she graduated from the third grade of high school, she had two host families in the past few years. To be honest, they were all the same, they were all dependent on others - her parents thought they would spend hundreds of thousands a year to send her out. Living a good life here is actually not the case.
The public schools here are completely different from those in China. Public schools are mostly messy and very messy. Although a lot of public school food and tuition are not expensive, most of them are junk food, and Gu Nan's stomach can't stand it. Sugary and high-fat foods.
The reason why I changed to a host family was because of the food. I changed to a school.
Although it is still public, its ratings are much higher - there are excellent public schools that can be ranked at the top of the beautiful country, not to mention ten, but at least eight or nine. All parties have made significant improvements, compared with the original five or six. Well divided.
Because the location was different and it was too far from the school, I had to change to a host family. Because of the location, I also spent more money.
As for private schools, they are too expensive. Most private schools teach in small classes and cost at least two to three thousand US dollars per month. Not counting study tours, study tours, a lot of summer camps and homestay expenses, it adds up to dozens of dollars more every year. It's absolutely essential.
Gu Nan's family has good conditions, but they can't afford to do this. After all, they have been studying abroad for at least ten years.
But even after changing to a good public school, Gu Nan, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Chinese girl who had just arrived, still suffered a lot of exclusion and discrimination - there were also many unknown grievances. Some children were born bad. , Gu Nan could only endure it.
At the same time, in addition to the psychological burden that school brought to her, there was another one - the host family.
The boarding expenses, which cost tens of thousands per year, are just like paying for nothing. They just spent a lot of money to rent a small room.
Basically, I can only eat at school every day, because in the evening the host family usually only has a hamburger or sandwich, a banana, and a can of milk. The child is growing and developing, so she still cannot avoid being hungry.
But she couldn't complain, because her parents had gone through great pains to send her out, with the goal of one day being able to immigrate through her. Her parents had also been to a host family, and everyone seemed to behave well on the surface, but once her parents left, , immediately changed his face.
Slowly, Gu Nan changed from an outgoing and cheerful child to introverted and even autistic - slowly, with the language foundation laid in the country for several years and after one or two years of study, Gu Nan completely adapted to the beautiful country. language.
It was at this time that the novel entered her field of vision, and became a spiritual soothing tool to help her overcome the difficulties of collapse again and again during that period. An alternative fantasy world that belonged only to her and belonged to her and the novel. .
After a year or two of reading novels, Gu Nan slowly became immersed in this "illusory yet safe fantasy world."
Slowly, as she read more and more novels, some novels on the market could no longer meet her needs. She came up with the idea of writing novels, and words became her way to express her grievances and her inner world. way.
In her sophomore year of high school, she wrote her first novel "Deer in the Mist", and because of this, her grades plummeted.
Gu Nan may not be a genius, but he is a person who is good at taking exams. Fortunately, thanks to the foundation he laid since childhood, the hard work of the previous few years, and a year of hard work, he was finally admitted to the Ivy League's Princeton University.
In her freshman year, because she came into contact with magic and science fiction works, she was driven by inspiration and wrote the second novel in her life. It was this novel, or this small series of novels, that made her
She is completely financially independent.
The novel in this series is called "Deep Sea".
And she is the author.
Don Clayson.
She did not expect at the time that the series of novels "Deep Sea" would become so popular and earn money that she had never imagined in her life.
So far, she has not told her family about this matter, mainly because she does not support the whole family's immigration.
In Gu Nan's opinion, China is a good and beautiful country, but it does not necessarily require a change of nationality. She thinks that she can get a green card, renew it every one or two years, and stay here for a few months every year and travel back and forth.
Pretty good too.
Anyway, she was already financially independent, and she planned to discuss this matter with her family after graduation.
The sales volume of "Deep Sea Series" was beyond her expectation. Even because of some social fears, when she signed the contract, she hired a lawyer and agent to help sign it. The publisher did not know her true gender or identity—
-Of course, she also paid a heavy price for her youth and ignorance. She originally had 5% of the royalties from "Deep Sea 1", but she was still alive and well and was divided by her agent!
This incident taught her a big lesson - for example, I don't know about it in other countries, but in beautiful countries, for lawyers, doctors and other professions, it is best to find people from beautiful countries, not "fellow countrymen", otherwise they will definitely
I was deceived very miserably.
Fortunately, the copyright is still in her hands, otherwise her mental state at the time would have collapsed.
It was also under this stimulation that Gu Nan was inspired by more realistic elements and created "Deep Sea·2".
Once released, it directly surpassed the record set by "Deep Sea 1", and it was from this period that she became truly financially free.
She concentrated her mind and created "Deep Sea·3", and her grades were still good, but she always felt that she had entered a dead end - plus it was the second semester of her junior year, and she was under pressure to graduate, take the postgraduate entrance examination, and take the postgraduate entrance examination of the school.
She was confused about her studies.
It just so happened that Gu Nan had been paying attention to major publishing houses and novel publishing news - and she was a loyal customer of a certain bookstore. She knew that the latest batch of novels was about to be released, and she immediately became interested.
Anyway, in the apartment, apart from reviewing and preparing for the exam, I still had no clue about "Deep Sea 4". As for what I told Susan Miller, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of Stic Publishing House, it was just a perfunctory response to social fears.
She put on a down jacket to cover her not-so-arrogant but pretty good figure, and put on a pair of thick boots to support her pretty good figure. She took a brief look at the mirror, her messy hair, and she couldn't see it.
Black frame glasses for the price.
Gu Nan's appearance can't be considered particularly good-looking, but it's average to above average, even without makeup.
But looking in the mirror, she couldn't help but frown, always feeling that something was missing?
Finally, his eyes fell on a high-top knitted hat that was carelessly discarded in the corner of the closet.
