Pengpeng's snowman was finally made, but most of the credit was due to Zhang Zhong, who sat down on the snowdrift after working for a while.
"I'm tired of washing you!"
Zhang Chong was afraid that her clothes would get wet, so he carried her to the wall and stood up while he finished the rest of the work himself.
After the snowman was made, Pengpeng circled around the snowman twice.
"Our snowman is so beautiful."
In fact, it's not pretty at all. There are two branches stuck on the bare head, and the eyes are made of stones. It looks like a mutant Teletubbies.
But Pengpeng still likes it very much. This kind of love is not fake, maybe because there are snowballs on this snowman that she personally sent to it.
After looking at the results of his work for a while, the snow that had been getting lighter seemed to be getting heavier again, so Zhang Zhong hurriedly pulled Pengpeng back home.
After returning home, Zhang Zhong went into the house to change clothes, and saw the snowman sitting outside his window. His two dull eyes seemed to have been looking at Zhang Zhong, which made people feel horrified.
This terrifying feeling reminded Zhang Zhong of another story about a snowman.
The classic crime novel "The Snowman" by Eubosch.
When it comes to crime mystery novels, many people may name Conan Doyle, Agatha, and Keigo Higashino, and some may also name Edgar Allan Poe, but the name Eubosch is definitely unfamiliar to the public.
.
However, his name feels unfamiliar, but it does not prevent his works from being famous.
The most famous among them is "The Snowman". For most popular novels, if they want to gain fame among the general public, the best way is to adapt them into film and television works.
This one is no exception. In fact, reading Y. Naibos's novel itself feels like reading a script. If the screenwriter gets his novel, he doesn't even need to make more revisions, and just follows the plot he wrote.
Just pave it.
The sales volume of Eubosch's works is not low. It has been translated into more than 40 languages and has sold 23 million copies worldwide.
You know, that's the earth. To be able to achieve such sales can be said to be a real best-selling author.
The book "Snowman" tells the story of a serial murder case. All the cases have very obvious similarities. The crimes were committed when it first snowed.
"The first snow is about to fall, and the snowman is about to reappear. When the ice and snow melt, he will take someone with him."
Zhang Zhong clearly remembered a passage in the original article.
This murderer always commits crimes when it first snows, leaving a snowman behind afterwards, and the targets of his crimes are always women who have remarried with children.
Compared with reasoning about the case, Yu Naibos is better at creating thrillers. This book always makes readers break out in cold sweat inadvertently. He can always transform ordinary and natural scenes into creepy situations in an instant.
Zhang Zhong set his sights on this book.
He searched in his mind and found that he could still remember the plot of this book clearly, and he had not even forgotten many passages from the original text.
Since the system doesn't give him mystery novels, he will make enough food and clothing by himself.
The novel "The Snowman" can be used immediately, but the trouble is that he cannot transfer it directly. It still needs a little thought to conceive, create, and restore.
He glanced at the snowman outside the window again, then changed his clothes and went to the study.
When he turned on the computer and began to conceive of the plot, and was about to sort out the context first, Pengpeng ran into the study wearing a thickened rabbit-eared pajamas.
"Is Dad working?" Pengpeng stood at the door holding a little bear. She did not continue walking inside for fear of disturbing her Dad's work.
Zhang Zhong waved to him, "Dad is taking care of a little thing. Do you want to play with dad?"
"Dad, can I watch you work? I won't disturb you."
"Of course." Although Zhang Zhong knew that Pengpeng's guarantee was very unreliable, he still pulled Pengpeng to sit next to him.
Pengpeng had a small swivel chair of her own, which was round and she could just nest in it. She thought her father's chair was not easy to sit on, so she ran out and moved her own chair over. Then she hugged the big bear in the chair and looked at Zhang.
Heavy work.
What surprised Zhang Zhong was that Pengpeng didn't cause any trouble this time. He just watched from the side and played with the bear when he got bored.
…
"Lin Ping, the editor-in-chief wants you to go to her office."
When Lin Ping heard her colleague's voice, she stood up and walked towards the editor-in-chief's office.
"Editor-in-Chief, are you looking for me?"
Opening the door, editor-in-chief Fang Qing was reading a piece of information. Seeing Lin Ping come in, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Are you busy at work these two days?"
Hearing Fang Qing's words, Lin Ping felt a little nervous. Doesn't Fang Qing know if she has a lot of work?
However, this question always needs to be answered, but it is difficult to answer.
"I have been reviewing new books for the past two days."
Fang Qing smiled and nodded, "You will be busy with the storage of new books during this period. In a few days, the club will recruit some new people to take charge of it, and then you will be freed."
"That's good."
However, there was no happy look on Lin Ping's face, because she had heard this sentence several times, but the legendary new employees had not yet arrived, and the burden on them, the old employees, was getting heavier and heavier.
"I asked you to come in because I want to talk to you about the new book you recommended. I was busy two days ago and didn't have time to read it. I just saw it this morning." After saying that, Fang Qing stood up and asked Lin Ping to sit down.
"Sit down, don't be formal."
Lin Ping looked at Fang Qing with a smile on her face and felt a little scared.
Fang Qing is in her early forties this year. She was a great beauty when she was young, but after all, she cannot stand up to the years, and there are traces of time on her face.
She loves to laugh, but everyone in the company knows that when Editor Fang laughs, it may not always be a good thing. Her colleagues call her Smiling Tiger in private.
So Lin Ping was very uneasy and wondered if there was anything wrong with the book she recommended.
"The book is very good." Fang Qing seemed to understand Lin Ping's thoughts and dispelled her doubts.
"I was originally going to let you have a day off today, but the club is very busy at the beginning of the month, so I asked you to work overtime. I read this book "Wives and Concubines". The quality is very high, but I don't want to do online promotion first.
, go directly to the physical store, wait until the physical store comes out, and then cooperate with the online promotion."
Lin Ping nodded blankly, "That's good too."
Fang Qing smiled and said, "Since you think it's good, then I'll leave this matter to you. The author's information is available in the background, and you editors can't see it. I'll make a copy for you later. You can contact the other party and ask.
Ask him what he wants, don’t talk to him about physical publishing first, let’s find out what he thinks.”
Lin Ping was a little dazed, "Should I go? In our club, aren't the only people we talk about publishing with are Wang Xuan and Du Dabao?"
