Returning to the small room upstairs, before continuing to code, Sun Quan sent a message to Yuan Shuiqing, telling her that Kuang Longfei was not interested in Zhang Rui and asking her to persuade Zhang Rui when she had time.
Putting down the phone and just about to code, Yuan Shuiqing's reply came, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"
Sun Quan explained to Yuan Shuiqing what Zhang Rui had just come to see him and what he had just asked Kuang Longfei for his opinion. Yuan Shuiqing replied: "Oh, I understand, I will persuade her tonight."
From Sun Quan's point of view, his part of this matter has been completed. As for whether Zhang Rui will have ideas for Kuang Longfei later, that has nothing to do with him.
Although he also hopes that Zhang Rui can succeed and leave Yuan Shuiqing smoothly, so as not to hinder his normal date with Yuan Shuiqing, but he still has a bottom line and cannot force Kuang Longfei to go with Yuan Shuiqing for the sake of his own happiness.
Zhang Rui dated, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
…
At around 10 o'clock in the night, Sun Quan was in front of the computer, concentrating on coding, when he suddenly received a text message from Yuan Shuiqing.
In the text message, Yuan Shuiqing said: "I have tried to persuade her just now, for more than an hour, but it seems to be of no use. She said that there is no man that her little Ari can't win, and she will continue."
Sun Quan was speechless and laughed, and replied: "Okay! Let's just leave this matter alone and let them toss about it. Whether they can succeed or not depends on their own abilities."
Yuan Shuiqing replied: "It seems like this is the only way to go now. By the way, how many chapters have you coded today? Are you tired?"
Sun Quan: "I'm currently typing Chapter 5. I'm so tired! Why don't you come over and give me a massage now?"
Yuan Shuiqing: "It's too late, just press it yourself! Since you are tired, go to bed early tonight, don't be too late!"
Sun Quan pouted, "Okay! Are you ready to sleep then?"
Yuan Shuiqing: "I still have some programs to write. I just took on a job recently. I will go to bed after writing."
After dating her for so long, Sun Quan gradually understood her way of making extra money. It was similar to how he wrote novels online. Most of the time, Yuan Shuiqing took on tasks online, which were paid. Occasionally, he would take on two orders from acquaintances.
The work introduced by her has made her spare time life more fulfilling. As long as she wants to work, there is always work at hand.
Sun Quan thinks this is good, because according to his experience, all the girls who are good at sex are basically the kind who have a lot of leisure. If they are too bored, they like to torment their men and take pleasure in doing so. They may even often put themselves in trouble.
If you fantasize about being the heroine in an idol drama, you must come up with a heart-stirring love story.
But, how stressful it is for men to survive these days! They have houses, cars, wives, filial piety to their parents and elders, and daily relationships. They work hard, but the money they earn is still not enough. How can I have enough energy to play with my girlfriend?
Romantic love story?
He has experienced such a female supporter before. Now that he thinks about it, he really admires himself for being able to persist for such a long time. What a tough life!
Yuan Shuiqing is better.
Thinking about Yuan Shuiqing's good work, his fighting spirit for coding became strong again. Yuan Shuiqing stayed up late to make money, so what reason did he have to be lazy?
…
only……
Sometimes fighting spirit is not a panacea. On March 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, for three consecutive days, Sun Quan's updates were not unpleasant, with more than 10,000 words updated every day.
But on the afternoon of March 3, his "My Decathlon" was still knocked out of the top ten on the monthly ticket list.
The murderer... No! The one who blew him up was "Hui Ming" written in 1995.
"Hui Ming" is a work of the History Channel. It began to be serialized on Qidian in the second half of last year. It has been on the shelves for two or three months now and is quite popular.
But this book had never been on the monthly ticket list before, but this month it suddenly appeared, and the first unlucky one was "My Decathlon" by Sun Quan.
The author of 95...
Of course Sun Quan knew that before his rebirth, there was no author who was the most successful in classifying history.
Many works have been adapted into TV series. In 2019, Jiuwu has left the starting point, and writing online articles has also slowed down. It is said that his main energy is focused on the creation of TV series scripts.
Sun Quan had read several works written in the 1995 period before, including this one, "Hui Ming".
But now that I have been blown away by this book, my feelings are really hard to put into words.
He remembered that the book "Hui Ming" was regarded as a masterpiece of the 95th Five-Year Plan. In the life before his rebirth, "Hui Ming" had been at the top of Qidian's monthly ticket list for a long time.
In other words, the popularity of "Hui Ming" should have exploded this month, and for the next n consecutive months, it will be its highlight moment and its edge will be very strong.
Sun Quan felt a little bitter.
In fact, having experienced the development history of online literature, when he looked at the current Qidian monthly ticket list, what he saw were all popular works in his memory, and almost all of the authors of these popular works were in his memory.
A great God who has experienced great success.
Just like a little star in the entertainment industry today, by chance, he suddenly returns to Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s to compete for major awards with the Four Heavenly Kings of his youth, the God of Song and the like. How can the pressure be less?
But if there is no dispute, he will not be willing to do so.
Last month, it finally maintained the honor of fourth in the monthly voting list. Could it be that this month it can't even crack the top ten?
He continues to update at a high speed. He believes that even if he cannot beat "Hui Ming", he still has hope of returning to the top ten of the overall list. "Hui Ming" will not always sit at the tenth position on the overall list and never move.
?
And the reality was not what he expected.
On the morning of March 5, "Hui Ming" blew away the ninth-ranked "Reincarnation".
The author of the book "Reincarnation" is also a great god, but in the years before Sun Quan was reborn, the presence of this great god was already very weak. Anyway, Sun Quan had not seen his new book for a long time.
The tenth place became "Reincarnation", and Sun Quan's confidence immediately increased a lot.
Perhaps, he is a bully at heart?
Two days later, "My Decathlon" successfully overturned "Reincarnation" due to Sun Quan's continuous updates, and "My Decathlon" returned to the tenth position on the monthly ticket list.
At this time, the 1995 "Hui Ming" has reached seventh place on the overall list.
This is probably the advantage of popular historical works?
As we all know, as long as historical works are written well enough, the ratio of collections to subscriptions when they are put on the shelves is very good. For works in categories such as fantasy, fairy tales, urban, etc., the subscription ratio when they are put on the shelves can be 10 to 1.
Yes, but when placed in the historical category, the subscription ratio is often 6 to 1, or even 5 to 1, or even 3 to 1.
This ratio is very exaggerated. In this era of rampant piracy, readers pay to read based on their conscience. What does a 5:1 subscription ratio mean?
This means that among the 5 readers who put this book on their bookshelf, 1 will pay to subscribe.
Reflected in the monthly tickets, there are often historical works with an average subscription of 1,000, and works in other categories that have an average subscription of 3,000 on the monthly ticket list can even be higher.
And this is why the reader stickiness of the History Channel is better than that of other classified channels.
Readers who like historical works seem to be using this method to encourage more authors to write historical novels. After all, historical works are difficult to write. They require the creator to have a certain historical background, and writing is more difficult than works from other channels.
Much.
A few days later, "Hui Ming" reached fifth place in the monthly voting list.
It is officially announced to the readers of Qidian that a historical novel called "Hui Ming" has become popular.
Sun Quan's hope of revenge becomes increasingly slim.
Fortunately, after this period of hard work, his "My Decathlon" also climbed up two places, and finally he no longer stayed at the tenth position on the overall list with fear. It was like a crater, and he had to worry about what was going down below at any time.
A certain book's monthly subscription volume suddenly exploded, so I took it down.
In comparison, the eighth seat is much more comfortable, and you can sleep more peacefully at night.
…
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to March 15, the day of the nationwide crackdown on holidaymakers.
That morning, Sun Quan received a call from his mother, who told him that the braised chicken restaurant jointly owned by his eldest cousin and his second cousin had officially opened in his hometown county.
According to my mother, my eldest cousin and my second cousin’s store are larger than his, renovated and very beautiful.
Sun Quan asked her how the preparations for the braised chicken restaurant she and her father were planning to build were going.
His mother told him that during this time, while they were looking for a suitable store, they were repeatedly practicing the braised chicken, braised pork ribs and braised pork knuckles at home. Now she can cook these dishes quite well.
.
The store he was looking for was almost ready. He only had to observe the business situation of his two cousins' store for a few days before deciding whether to rent a store and open a braised chicken restaurant.
Okay!
Hearing what his mother said, the couple are still hesitating whether to start this business or not. They still worry about whether they will lose money by opening such a store.
In response to this, Sun Quan could only sigh and let them go.
Some decisions are better left to them to make on their own, and besides, he is now in City M, hundreds of miles away from home, out of reach, and can't control that much.
What he can control is when to start preparations for his own branch.
His February manuscript fee has been received. The publisher has sent the manuscripts for the three episodes this month, and the publisher has also credited the royalties for the three episodes into his account.
Therefore, he already has sufficient funds to open a branch.
When he was having a working lunch with everyone that evening, Sun Quan said to Kuang Longfei: "Monitor, I'll give you a task. Starting tomorrow, you go around the entrances of several other universities in our city and look for one with a suitable size and suitable rent.
The store is ready to be rented!”
Kuang Longfei, who was eating with his head down, looked up when he heard this. The other employees at the same table also had similar expressions, surprised and confused...
Kuang Longfei's eyes were full of surprise, "Are you ready to open a branch?"
Sun Quan smiled and nodded.
The other employees were still looking at each other in shock and confusion, but Kuang Longfei showed a big smile and nodded vigorously, "Okay! I'll take care of this. I will find a store for you as soon as possible!"
At this time, the waiter Qu Li blinked and asked softly: "Boss, are we opening a branch soon?"
