"But we are a magazine, not a publishing house..." Guo Rui said awkwardly.
Li Qing smiled and said: "I know, but I just heard Mr. Guo say that it seems that after "The Three-Body Problem" is completed, your "Contemporary Literary Circle" will prepare to print "The Three-Body Problem" into a volume..."
Guo Rui felt a little hot on his face.
He didn't expect that Li Qing would reject him because of such a detail.
Is this a typical case of shooting oneself in the foot and jumping into a hole that one dug?
Guo Rui smiled bitterly inwardly.
But he was a little confused as to why Li Qing knew so much about the ins and outs of the publishing industry.
Isn't he a singer? Isn't "Xun Qin Ji" one of his improvisations?
And before he became famous, there was actually a publisher willing to settle royalties for him?
Oh my God, the publishing houses in Hong Kong are so easy to deal with?
For a moment, Guo Rui's brain shut down and he felt completely speechless.
Li Qing smiled and said nothing, while Liu Xuer's face was full of confusion.
The scene became awkward for a while.
Just as the waiter was serving the dishes one by one, Li Qing saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere. After eating for a while, he pretended to have something to do and left first.
"This matter can't end like this."
Guo Rui picked up a few dishes for himself, but found them boring, so he put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said to Liu Xu'er: "Xu'er, since we are sure that Li Qing has the idea to write "The Three-Body Problem", then
This novel must be set in "Contemporary Literary World". I will contact my dad today to get more funds. Xu'er, if you have a chance, go to Li Qing's school and leave a good impression on Li Qing.
Before others discover the composition "The Three-Body Problem", you must get Li Qing's "The Three-Body Problem"."
Liu Xu'er was confused from beginning to end. When she heard Guo Rui speak like this, although she didn't understand the reason, she still nodded vigorously, saying that she would do her best to let Li Qing write this "Three-Body Problem".
But Guo Rui didn't know that his thoughts were completely different from Liu Xu's.
Guo Rui wanted to leave the masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" in the "Contemporary Literary Circle", while Liu Xu'er urgently hoped that "The Three-Body Problem" could be written. As for where to publish it, for Liu Xu'er, it was not a matter at all.
Something worth thinking about.
Liu Xuer loves literature and is obsessed with literature.
But Guo Rui regards literature as the cornerstone of his career or a tool for making money.
The two have the same intention, but their goals are different.
However, just as Guo Rui was about to open the door and leave, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and Li Qing walked in with a strange look on his cell phone.
He glanced at Guo Rui and Liu Xu'er who looked stunned, smiled, and sat down at the dinner table again.
Guo Rui and Liu Xu'er looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Guo Rui couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are you back again? Could it be that you have changed your mind and want to publish "The Three-Body Problem" in our "Contemporary Literary Forum"?"
Liu Xu'er also looked forward to it.
Li Qing shook his head, looked at the time, and said, "I was blocked. A group of reporters came outside."
Guo Rui and Liu Xuer were startled, and then they remembered that Li Qing was not only a talented writer, but also a popular idol.
Guo Ruidang even went out to check the situation.
Liu Xu'er said nervously: "What should I do? Can't I get out?"
"That's not true. My assistant and agent just got the news and made a call. They will arrive soon and they can leave then."
Li Qing glanced at Liu Xu'er and said, "How about you leave first?"
Liu Xuer shook her head repeatedly: "I'd better leave later. There are always scandals about your celebrities. If I show up now, my photo might be on the front page of the entertainment section tomorrow."
Li Qing smiled.
The Royal Hotel is not far from the Beijing Drama Academy, and since Li Qing was wearing a peaked cap, he didn't attract much attention along the way, but he never thought that he would be smelled by the paparazzi with a keen sense of smell.
Liu Xu'er said that she might make headlines tomorrow. In Li Qing's opinion, this sentence was not a possibility, but a certainty.
However, he didn't feel anything special.
As an artist, you naturally have the consciousness to be an artist. There have been some messy scandals in the past, but they did not cause a sensation. Li Qing feels that this time will have the same result.
When Pei Sitao and the others arrive, they can probably leave.
Not long after, the door of the box was pushed open, and Guo Rui walked in with emotion on his face, "Mr. Li's popularity is really unparalleled. In just a short time, fifty-six media reporters came. If you keep doing this,
Wait a while, I'm afraid more and more people will come..."
Seeing the noisy scene outside the hotel with his own eyes, Guo Rui was filled with emotion and at the same time strengthened his original idea. He must leave "The Three-Body Problem" in "Contemporary Literary World"!
Behind Guo Rui, a white-collar woman in a black suit also walked in and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, hello Mr. Li, I am Zhao Fei, the lobby manager of our hotel. Don't worry, our hotel is an absolute security facility.
,You can enjoy your meal, but when you want to leave, you can inform me and I will be responsible for arranging your travel."
When Li Qing heard this, he stood up and said to Zhao Fei: "I'm sorry to bother you, Manager Zhao..."
At this time, outside the hotel, a white nanny car and a black Mercedes-Benz parked on the side of the road. Liu Qin and Xue Yan stepped out of the car with seven or eight bodyguards.
Liu Qin glanced at the dense crowd of reporters outside the Royal Hotel, and laughed angrily: "He didn't stay at school properly, but he ran out. You said he just ran out to a public place, and he was with a young woman, and he was also
Captured! Oh my God, has he forgotten his identity?"
Xue Yan dissuaded: "Sister Qin, calm down. The most important thing now is to escort the boss to leave safely."
Liu Qin was just complaining. After hearing this, he could only suppress his anger, nodded, and took the lead to walk into the hotel.
Before taking two steps, Liu Qin turned around and ordered Wei Hai: "Wei Hai, you stay here and watch the situation. Remember to keep the phone open."
"Okay." Wei Hai responded.
Immediately, Liu Qin led Pei Sitao and others towards the main entrance of the hotel.
Several reporters were negotiating with the hotel management in an attempt to obtain the right to interview Li Qing, but they were all blocked by the management. No matter how hard these reporters tried, they were unable to obtain any internal information.
Just when they were anxious, they suddenly saw Liu Qin and others approaching menacingly, and their eyes suddenly lit up. With the rise of Li Qing, Liu Qin's name can be said to be slightly famous in the entire circle.
, these reporters were naturally familiar with it, so they all came over to greet him.
As they approached, they took out their recording pens and hurriedly shouted: "Hello, Miss Liu, can I interview you?"
