"I don't know what's wrong. I've been having nightmares lately, yes! I had another one last night. In the dream, my daughter and I went to meet our parents, and my grandmother asked me: 'Young man, do you have a room at home?
?'
I answered: 'Yes!'
The female ticket lady nodded with satisfaction and asked again: 'Young man, do you have a car at home?'
I asked: 'Does a bicycle count?'
The grandma smiled and said kindly: 'It's okay, I'm just asking casually, our family doesn't care about that.'
Then she asked me kindly: 'Well, young man, what's your monthly ticket ranking?'
I was very confident this time and proudly said: 'Tenth on the overall list!'
Unexpectedly, I never imagined that her face, who was so kind just now, suddenly changed and she said categorically: 'No! I don't agree with your marriage! Because your monthly ticket ranking is too low!'"
…
The next morning, when Yuan Shuiqing was on the computer in his office and saw this new vote request chapter posted by someone today, he burst out laughing, with smiles in his eyes.
Then she picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed someone's number.
"Huh? Miss me?"
Someone's mean voice reached her ears.
Yuan Shuiqing still had a smile in her eyes and said softly: "No! I suddenly thought of something to tell you."
Someone: "What?"
Yuan Shuiqing: "In a few days, the company will have its annual holiday. Before the holiday, there will be a year-end summary meeting. The ministers and supervisors of each department will report on the company's performance this year. I think you should participate. Also, the meeting is over.
Finally, a dinner will be held in the hotel. All employees of the company will participate. Some employee awards will also be distributed. I think it is most appropriate for you to present the awards at that time. Well, I told you in advance, I just hope you have a
Be mentally prepared and save two chapters of the manuscript in advance! What do you think?"
Someone: "Uh, okay! I understand, by the way, you really didn't miss me?"
Yuan Shuiqing laughed, "Well, I've thought about it for a while, and the single chapter you wrote today was very interesting, haha."
"hey-hey!"
Someone is happy.
…
After the call ended, Sun Quan opened the page of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" with a smile and pulled the page to the book review area.
Some fresh book reviews have appeared.
"Pfft... Lao Sun's vote-seeking chapter today really didn't disappoint me. It's quite interesting. Keep up the good work! - What a handsome Wen Hao."
"The author actually has a girlfriend? By the way, a girlfriend should refer to a girlfriend, right? The brothers are still single, and you are going to meet your parents with a girlfriend? That's right! Your girlfriend's grandma is so wise,
Haha... - Eat salted fish three times."
"Salted fish! Are you sure your grandma really doesn't agree to your marriage because your monthly ticket ranking is not high enough? Have you never thought that it's because you don't have a car? Hehe - Huang Qiankun"
"I'm already looking forward to the author's single chapter content tomorrow. Ah, what should I do? What should I do? It's still morning - Haohao"
…
After casually reading the posts in the book review area for a while, Sun Qu was about to start today's coding work when a new message suddenly came in on QQ.
He frowned slightly, because this obviously interfered with the coding work he was about to start.
He casually clicked on the new message and was slightly startled when he saw the other party's online name.
Because the other party’s online name is Dayu.
Author of "The Legend of the Housekeeper".
"Legend of the Housekeeper" is currently ranked fourth on the Qidian monthly ticket list and has been very popular recently.
Sun Quan used to like this book very much. Before "Legends of Jia Ding", he had read Dayu's works. Until "Legends of Jia Ding" came out, Sun Quan suddenly felt that Dayu's writing style had matured.
The plot is relaxed and relaxed, and the characters are lifelike. The key is that his writing is witty and measured, and he can express it freely.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for "Legend of the Household" to gradually expand in length and the number of words, and the book's popularity grew explosively.
The author Dayu also became one of the top masters of Qidian with this book.
When he was at his highest popularity, he won the overall ranking of Qidian Monthly Votes List many times.
It can be said that when Dayu was at his most popular, he was no worse than any of the top gods at the beginning.
The book "Legend of the Housekeeper" has also become the favorite of countless book fans.
but……
I don’t know why, but Dayu disappeared after the end of “Legend of the Household”.
He never opened a new book again. Sun Quan remembered that for many years after "Legend of the Household", book fans still expressed their hope on various occasions every year that Dayu would return to the Internet and open a new book.
Sun Quan himself was once one of those book fans.
One year, he saw someone on the author forum swearing that Dayu was about to publish a new book, and he was looking forward to it.
As a result... just like he had been looking forward to Star Master starring in a movie again, but couldn't wait. He waited and waited, and when he was disheartened, he still didn't see Dayu reopening a new book.
He didn't expect that Dayu would suddenly send him a private message today.
From this point of view, the online writing circle is indeed very small.
Sometimes if you join an author group at random, you will see that in the list of group members, there are top experts in the industry, and there is more than one.
"Salted fish! Your recent single chapter is too slutty, can you be more slutty? Haha."
This is the private message Dayu just sent to Sun Quan.
After reading it, Sun Quan didn't know how to reply.
"Thank you, the third brother in your book is the most slutty, I'm willing to give you the upper hand!"
Sun Quan composed himself and replied like this.
"Third Brother" is the male protagonist in "Legend of the Household". Of course his name is not this, but many characters in the book like to call the male protagonist "Third Brother".
Dayu: "The third brother is a slut, but he is just a fictional character, but you are a real person! If you do this, we colleagues will be under great pressure. I posted a chapter asking for votes today, and it was criticized by readers
You condemned me and asked me to learn from you!"
As he spoke, Dayu sent over a screenshot of a book review.
——"Author, your single chapter writing is too uncreative. Don't you know that the new monthly voting method is popular in Qidian? When you write a single chapter like this, I have no desire to vote for a monthly vote. I suggest you hurry up and learn how to vote.
A single chapter of a fish! Look at what others have written, it has no moral integrity at all! You should learn from others!"
Sun Quan read it and sent a string of ellipses over it.
Dayu sent a smiling emoticon.
Then another text was sent: "Alas! The atmosphere of Qidian has been ruined by you people. It simply doesn't give us serious people a way to survive!"
Sun Quan burst out laughing and replied: "You're the one here! Are you the only one who's still a serious person? Ask your book fans if they agree."
Dayu replied with a smirk.
…
The two of them went back and forth and chatted for half an hour before it ended.
After the chat, Sun Quan was lost for a while, then he smiled and opened the document to start today's coding.
He was very happy to chat with Dayu today.
It feels like having a conversation with a former idol.
But the atmosphere of today's conversation was very equal. During the chat, Dayu said that he had read his "My Decathlon" and "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", and urged Sun Quan to update faster, as he was catching up.
…
day to day.
For many people, as the New Year is approaching, work has become boring and boring, and all they can think about is waiting for the New Year to come.
Because the New Year is here, you can legitimately not have to go to work, and you can legitimately eat and drink, play cards, and pick up girls.
but……
Unless the earth explodes, writers won’t have a holiday!
Sun Quan has a large family, but his life is still as boring as before. In the days when the new year is approaching, he still updates every day, updating more than 10,000 words every day, and a new monthly ticket seeking method every day.
But there are rewards.
"Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is rising steadily in the top ten of the overall list.
Within a few days, it rose to the 6th position on the overall list.
And this day is already January 26th.
His braised chicken company will hold a year-end summary meeting this morning and a year-end dinner in the evening.
He had promised Yuan Shuiqing before that he would attend these two major events of the company today.
If you ask him about his true intentions, he actually doesn't want to go.
He is just a homebody and doesn't like to be in public.
But his reason told him that he should participate!
After all, he is the boss behind this company. Everyone except Yuan Shuiqing is working for him. As the boss behind the scenes, he usually just works as the boss.
It would be a bit unjust if I didn’t attend year-end meetings and dinners.
The human heart...needs comfort!
There are so many people in the company working hard for him. At the end of the year, he always wants to show up and say some heart-warming words. By the way, he also allows some employees who joined the company later to meet him as the boss.
After all, many employees who joined the company later have never met him yet.
…
early morning.
With the help of Yuan Shuiqing, he put on a brand new high-end slim-fitting suit and leather shoes, and Yuan Shuiqing personally rewarded him with a tie.
The suit is a casual style and feels quite comfortable to wear.
Standing in front of the mirror, Sun Quan looked at the human-looking guy in the mirror and felt a little strange.
In other words, he has never dressed up like this before in his two lifetimes. He feels a bit like a different person.
The guy in the mirror has an awkward haircut. Probably because he lives in the house all year round, his skin is a bit white, neither fat nor thin, and his eyes are bright.
"Am I handsome?"
He suddenly turned around and asked Yuan Shuiqing, who was arranging his collar next to him.
A smile flashed in Yuan Shuiqing's eyes, and she didn't know if it was against her will. Anyway, Sun Quan saw her nodding and said, "Well, he's very handsome!"
Sun Quan chuckled, very satisfied, and praised: "I just like to hear you tell the truth! Well, but we must be more modest in the future! Just say he is handsome, haha..."
Yuan Shuiqing pursed her lips to hold back laughter, her shoulders shaking slightly.
After a while, Cai Yanan came.
When she saw Sun Quan, she couldn't help but take a second look, because she had never seen such an image of Sun Quan before, and it was a bit novel.
Even on the way to drive Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing to the company, Cai Yanan would glance at Sun Quan in the back seat through the rearview mirror of the car from time to time.
This time it was because Sun Quan, who was not used to getting up so early, was dozing off. His head was already leaning on Yuan Shuiqing's shoulder, moving forward little by little like a chicken pecking at rice...
