"Master, Mr. Warner is waiting for you in the living room!" On this day, the maid Marlene came in to report.
"Warner? Our neighbor Mr. Warner?" Tangning asked in disbelief.
Marlene nodded and replied: "Yes, it's Mr. Warner!"
Tangning had a good impression of Warner, so after learning about it, she immediately rushed to the living room and greeted happily: "Mr. Warner, to be honest, I was a little scared when I heard your name just now.
Trust your ears!”
"Haha, I feel like I have been away from New Orleans for a long time!" Warner replied with a smile.
"I'm coming back this time..."
Before Tangning could finish her words, Warner replied: "I'm back to do some errands and see my old friends by the way!"
"That's really great. In fact, I originally wanted to see you when I went to New York!" At this point, Tangning remembered something: "By the way, Mr. Rawlins who came last time is your friend, right?"
?”
Warner nodded and replied: "Well, he is a new friend I met in New York. He also likes Madison's paintings very much, so I mentioned you to him. Unexpectedly, he even made a special trip to New Orleans!"
After chatting for a while, Warner suddenly said: "Tony, guess who I saw in New York before?"
"Who?" Tangning asked casually.
"Jonathan!" Warner replied word for word.
After hearing this, Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?! Jonathan? How is this possible? He, he is not..."
"He's dead, right? I was actually surprised at the time, but unfortunately he was passing by in a carriage and I didn't have time to ask him!" Warner replied with some regret.
"Um, could it be that you misjudged the person?" Tang Ning guessed.
Warner nodded and replied: "It's possible, after all, I only saw it once, but it really looks like Jonathan, and it's not just a resemblance in appearance, but the same temperament, so it's hard for me to convince myself that I'm just a simple person."
I read it wrong!"
Tangning agreed with Warner's statement. Two people may look very similar, but their temperaments cannot be exactly the same, because temperament is determined by a person's living environment, growth experience, personality, temperament, and even his hobbies and work.
And these can't all be exactly the same, even twins have different temperaments.
So Tangning frowned and said, "But if Jonathan is still alive, then there is no way he has no contact with us!"
"It's just because I don't understand, that's why I want Tony to help me analyze it!" Warner replied.
"There is too little information and I can't analyze it!" Tang Ning said, spreading her hands.
Warner said helplessly: "Well, that's true. Let's wait and ask if we have a chance to meet this person again in the future!"
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Tangning, when are you going to New York? How about we go together?"
Tangning replied based on her previous reason for rejecting Maxi: "I'll probably have to wait another month!"
"Oh, that won't work. I can only stay in New Orleans for two weeks at most!" Warner said with some regret.
After chatting for a while and agreeing to go to the bar to drink together in the evening, Warner said goodbye and left.
In the evening, Tang Ning arrived at the bar on time, but she saw a slim young beauty with blond hair standing next to Warner. Warner helped introduce him: "Mr. Tang Ning, let me introduce to you, this is my friend.
Shanna, Shanna - Connolly! He is a fan of your books, so he asked me to help him get to know you!"
"Hello, Mr. Tangning!" Shanna proactively extended her hand.
"Hello, Miss Connolly!" Tangning replied.
After chatting for a while, Warner got down to business: "Mr. Tangning, actually I have one more thing to trouble you with!"
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Tang Ning replied casually.
Warner said: "Sanna actually writes novels, please see if you can give her some advice!"
"Of course there's no problem with that!" Tangning nodded in agreement.
At this time, Warner gave Shanna a wink. Shanna immediately took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them to Tangning and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Tangning!"
Tangning waved her hands and said, "What's the trouble!"
Two days later, Warner approached Tangning again and asked, "Mr. Tangning, what do you think of Shanna's novel?"
"The writing is very good, with delicate emotions and twists and turns. It's much better than what I wrote!" In fact, Tang Ning's words are not an exaggeration, because Shanna's writing is indeed good.
"Mr. Downing, you are too complimentary. Do you think this novel is qualified to be published in the New Orleans Express?" Warner asked again.
"Of course that's enough..."
Before Tangning could finish her words, Warner interrupted and said, "Can you please help me recommend it to the editor-in-chief of the article?"
In fact, Tang Ning wanted to say that given the quality of this novel, there would be no problem in submitting it directly to the New Orleans Express. But since Warner had already said so, it would appear that she didn't want to help if she said that again, so she nodded in agreement:
"No problem, I will take the manuscript to find the communication in a moment!"
Warner thanked you: "Thank you very much! Why don't you look at it and invite the editor-in-chief out for a drink tonight?"

This time Tangning didn't dare to give her a guarantee: "It depends on whether Wen has time in the evening. I'll ask later!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news!"
Facts have proved that Tang Ning's guess was correct. After reading this novel, the author immediately agreed to publish it in the next issue. He also agreed to go for a drink together that night, and the four of them drank very happily that night.
What Tangning never expected was that the direction of this incident would turn out to be so strange...
On this day, Heidi suddenly walked into the studio. After Tangning stopped writing, she asked Tangning: "Tony, have you recently introduced a beautiful author named Shanna to Laiwen?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Have you heard any rumors about them recently?" Heidi asked again.
Tangning shook her head and replied, "No, you also know that I have been busy with this painting recently!"
That's right, Tang Ning recently had a sudden whim and planned to challenge a hyper-realistic work. Friends who don't know oil painting may be unfamiliar with this genre. To put it simply, the painting looks like a photo. It is a representative of this painting school in my country. The character is Mr. Leng Jun, the vice president of Wuhan Painting Academy!
PS: Leng Jun's "Xiao Jiang" sold for 70 million. It is said that Jack Ma also planned to buy another "Xiao Tang" for 70 million, but Leng Jun refused. Of course, this is just a rumor...
