In addition to being frightened, Zhang Zhong also hopes that this sound can awaken Xu Shusheng and his family to the fate of their family.
Looking at the word "scare" on the paper, Zhang Zhong laughed with satisfaction.
Get up and open the door.
"Your door is too difficult to call..."
Before Yu Dongyu finished speaking, Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "You pressed the doorbell at the right time."
"Why, it's disturbing your rest. But it doesn't look like you're resting. Instead, you look a little tired. Have you been in the house all day today? Didn't you go out?"
"I'm not going out." Zhang Zhong shook his head and invited Yu Dongyu into the room, "I've been busy with the new book recently, and I took this opportunity to get out the final draft of the new book today."
"A new book is out?" Yu Dongyu glanced at the computer on the table after entering the room, "Can you let me take a sneak peek?"
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "That's not okay. I still have to earn the money for your book."
Yu Dongyu pouted and said, "How about I give you the book fee first and you give me a look?"
"Okay, one million, let me give you a look."
"I think you're trying to steal money."
"This is called a rare place to live." Zhang Chong said with a smile: "Okay, why did you come back first? Where are the others?"
"Our team is back first, and Wang Yi's team should be coming soon. Didn't I come to Captain Zhang to report on my work as soon as I finish? What should we have for dinner tonight?"
"When you report to work, you just ask me what I'm going to have for dinner. I've been here for a few days and I've eaten all kinds of big meals. Can't I just eat something casually in the hotel restaurant?"
Yu Dongyu chuckled and said, "I originally thought so too, but now I can't."
"Why not now?"
"Now we have to celebrate the completion of your new book. This is a big event. What if we don't have a good meal to celebrate? I will go and tell everyone the good news of your new book soon, so that they will be happy too."
Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, "Goodbye. Don't tell them about the new book. As for eating... let's do this. I'll be a host and treat you to a meal."
"How embarrassing is this? You are the leader of the group. It is not good for you to spend a lot of money."
"Come on, isn't this exactly what you want?" Zhang Zhong looked at the time, it was only after five o'clock, "It's still early, you go ahead and inform them to have dinner together in the evening, and I'm going to take a shower."
"Yes." Yu Dongyu pretended to stand up straight, and then walked out of Zhang Zhong's room with a smile.
…
"What shall we eat tonight and where shall we eat?"
After everyone in the exchange group gathered, Yu Dongyu first asked the question that everyone was more concerned about.
Just now, Yu Dongyu told everyone that Zhang Zhong would invite him to dinner tonight, which was quite mysterious. This was enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.
Why should I treat you to dinner?
So since Zhang Zhong invited him to dinner, he shouldn't just deal with it casually.
Zhang Zhong said with a smile, "Let's go to Alata Restaurant to eat tonight."
Alata restaurant?
Most people in the exchange group have never heard of the name of this restaurant, but Zhao Re has obviously heard of it. He was surprised, "Don't you have to book Alata several months in advance to get a seat? It's still the peak season, so seats are available.
Did you get it?"
"Of course, we can just go there directly."
Wang Yi smiled and said, "Your reputation in France is indeed well established. I guess the restaurant owner doesn't need to make a reservation in advance when he hears that you are going."
Zhang Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, the restaurant owner doesn't know that I'm going to eat today."
"Then how did you get the position?" Everyone asked curiously.
"Nothing but money."
"..." Everyone was stunned.
Zhang Zhong was not joking. He did not use his own identity to make reservations at the restaurant. He did not even go to the restaurant himself. Instead, he asked people from the branch to help him make reservations.
Although these popular restaurants say that they can only make reservations and cannot jump in line, in fact, it is just like that. You can still get a seat for your money.
He didn't know how much the positioning cost this time, and he didn't need to know. If he bothered to care about this kind of thing, then his time was too worthless.
On the way to Alata Restaurant, Liu Yuan suddenly said to Zhang Zhong, "Congratulations, you are publishing a new book again."
Zhang Zhong looked at Yu Dongyu subconsciously, thinking that this guy was too dishonest. He told him not to tell them about his new book, but he still revealed it.
Yu Dongyu also saw Zhang Zhong's eyes and said immediately, "I didn't say anything."
Hearing Yu Dongyu's words, Zhang Zhong was confused. He didn't say, so how did Liu Yuan know?
Liu Yuan listened to the conversation between the two of them with a puzzled look on his face, "Dong Yu, what are you talking about and what are you saying? Didn't Zhang Zhong publish a new book online? I just saw the news."
Zhang Zhong was stunned, took Liu Yuan's cell phone, and only then did he react after reading the updates on it.
It turned out that the company sent out news about the new book.
But this new book is not that new book.
The new book mentioned in the update is "The Shadow Stealer" that Zhang Zhong copied before, not the current one "Scare".
Yu Dongyu also saw the updates on Liu Yuan's phone, rolled his eyes and said, "Look, I just said you wronged me."
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "I didn't accuse you wrongly."
"This is not an injustice..."
Before Yu Dongyu finished speaking, Zhuang Yu said from the side, "How can I hear what you mean, Dongyu? Zhang Zhong has other news about new books that he hasn't told us?"
Zhang Zhong looked at Yu Dongyu and said, "Let me just say that I didn't accuse you unjustly."
Then he said to Zhuang Yu and the others, "I have written the book "The Shadow Stealer" before, but today I finished another book. It just so happened that Yu Dongyu came to my room to find me today, so I told him
.”
At this moment, Yu Dongyu also realized why Zhang Zhong said that he had not been wronged. Yes, it was because he rushed to clarify after seeing Zhang Zhong's eyes and let Zhuang Yu and the others pick up on the clues. He didn't say anything now.
No more.
Regardless of what Yu Dongyu said or didn't, others were curious when they heard that Zhang Zhong had written another book.
"You are too prolific. Is the new book you finished today a full-length novel?"
"It's a long novel, about 80,000 to 90,000 words."
"That's quite a long time. Otherwise, you can make money. The creation speed is too fast. People write a work for several years, but you wrote several works this year."
"You are wrong. At his fastest, he wrote more than a dozen works a year. I even suspected that he had more than one pair of hands."
"I think many people can't write more than a dozen works in a year."
"If we follow the standards of "The Ordinary World," I'm afraid many people will never be able to finish a single work in their lifetime."
"Zhang Zhong's works total up to ten million words."
"I think there should be more than one."
"It's only been a few years, only four or five years."
Everyone started talking about it, and the bus became very lively for a while.
The focus of their discussion was also on Zhang Zhong's high yield.
The output of Chinese writers is inherently low. Looking at ancient times and modern times, there are not many who can produce more than 10 million words in their works.
And they are basically writers of popular literature.
There is no one like Zhang Zhong who combines both serious literature and popular literature and can produce more than 10 million words.
Not to mention that Zhang Zhong is only in his early thirties and has only made his debut in the literary world for a few years.
If Zhang Zhong can maintain his current creative passion and live longer, I am afraid that writing over 100 million words in his lifetime will not be a dream.
Assuming that Zhang Zhong can live another 20,000 days, he can complete this almost impossible record by writing an average of 4,000 words a day.
If this record can really be achieved, apart from anything else, the output alone will be unmatched by anyone.
As the car drove slowly on the way to Alata Restaurant, the focus of everyone's discussion shifted from Zhang Zhong's high productivity to the title of Zhang Zhongshu's book.
Everyone started a game of guessing the content of the book by reading the title. Anyway, it was idle time, and basically everyone participated.
