I definitely still have to buy a mobile phone, but for the time being, Ding Wei only plans to buy a Nokia that costs two to three hundred yuan.
After all, she only needs a function to make and receive calls. She has used iOS and Android, and now the mobile phone is online... It takes a long time to load a 15k high-definition picture, what's the use?!
She does need a notebook, as long as it can code, but even if it is the most basic, plus the mobile phone, her more than 5,000 royalties will probably not be enough, so she will have to wait.
Lu Li hesitated: "A mobile phone can last for several years. I want to buy a better one..."
Of course, everyone has their own preferences for this kind of thing. If it were before, Ding Wei would still help analyze it, but after finishing the meal, she no longer wanted to say anything more, so she simply nodded: "It's all fine. But I'll ask first.
Ask if there are any second-hand ones that are cheaper."
Second-hand?
Lu Li couldn't accept it: "Don't you want to buy a mobile phone that costs two to three hundred? This also needs to be second-hand? The money should be enough!" It's so embarrassing to say it out.
Ding Wei doesn't care: "You can buy a second-hand one for a few dozen yuan, why should I buy a new one..." She also wants to buy a second-hand laptop.
Alas, the most basic iPhone 3g will not be released for another three years...sad.
Bai Shanshan, on the other hand, was thoughtful: "If you want second-hand ones, I have a lot! Many of them haven't been opened yet!"
She has a drawer of old mobile phones and old notebooks, many of which were given by others and kept at home.
Ding Wei waved her hand directly: "No, the base is there. Your things are too expensive. Even if they are second-hand, I can't afford them."
Bai Shanshan shook her head: "I'll give it to you!"
However, Lu Li was a little moved. She already had some idea of how rich Bai Shanshan was. The things he used must be good!
Moreover, she has so many that no one can use them...
As soon as this idea vaguely came out, Ding Wei rejected it again: "I'll find out for myself, you can do what you want, be good."
Bai Shanshan rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
However, Ding Wei still had 80 yuan in her hand that Bai Shanshan lent her before. She took 200 yuan at that time and had 80 yuan left after the meal. This meal was already considered a bit luxurious.
But after all, she hasn’t had anything good for a month, so today is a perfect day!
Ding Wei put the change in her hand and patted it in her heart: "Let's go shopping!"
…
There was everything at the night market. Ding Wei bought two large thick sheets and a small table that could be folded on the bed. When she returned to the dormitory, she surrounded the upper and lower bunks.
Bai Shanshan wondered: "Wouldn't it be hot?"
Ding Wei glanced at the useless small fan above her head and sighed: "It's not bad anyway... But I use the computer at night, and if I don't surround it, the light from the screen will be too bright, which will affect your rest."
And it's not soundproof either.
She used to put a quilt on the side to block it.
With forty-six yuan left in her hand, she thought about it and collected it again. She decided to give the Internet fee to Bai Shanshan after buying the laptop.
This is not a birthright, but a should.
…
After struggling until ten o'clock, everyone lay down on the bed. Ding Wei opened her laptop and found that QQ messages were pouring over her——
"This story is great!"
“Very innovative!”
"Do you still have any manuscripts saved?"
“It definitely suits our magazine!”
“The royalties are negotiable!”
"Where are the people?"
"Xiao Bailian!"
"Xiao Bailian!"
"Boss, please respond ≥﹏≤"
Ding Wei:……
Oh haha.
Although I'm surprised, since the royalties are negotiable... then it's easy to say.
Also, since the weather is getting colder, I might as well change my pen name.
She didn't reply, and then coded more confidently.
It’s time to show off your real skills!
For a moment, the only sound in the dormitory was the sound of keyboards being typed.
…
Guomu suffered in the heart-wrenching all night, and only received a reply at noon the next day: "I want to change my pen name for the new book."
Editor Guomu:???
Editor Guo Mu: Why? Xiao Bai Lian is very good, catchy, and your book will be serialized in two days, so your popularity will soon rise!
Ding Wei thought to herself, I don’t want such a reputation...
She insisted: "Change it to another one, and change the name to Jingran in order."
Editor Guo Mu: What a common name.
She complained.
But he didn’t bother to say more: “What do you think of the new book? It’s so beautiful and novel! How many manuscripts do you have in reserve?”
Ding Wei looked at the document.
Jing Ran Youlian: In addition to the one you read yesterday, it has 25,000 words, and this one is estimated to have 300,000 words. Is it really possible to serialize it? The styles are different, right?
Editor Guo Mu: Yes, yes! Our main page will also have this kind of article, yes! You can save the manuscript first, and wait until the serialization of your book "The Domineering President" starts next month. Depending on the sales and response, the manuscript fee will be
There is improvement!
There is also competition between editors, and with Guomu’s many years of experience, she can be sure that these two novels will be a hit at a glance, so no matter what, this author is going to be in her bowl!
Jing Ran Youlian: OK. I’ll code first.
Editor Guo Mu: Okay.
However...she also thought about it and found that Ding Wei used the word "code word" to describe writing articles, which seemed quite vivid?
…
After chatting, Ding Wei was about to put on her earphones to code, but found Lu Li sitting over and staring at her.
She didn't care, there were only two long desks in the dormitory, and it was definitely more comfortable to sit on than the lower bunk, so she wrote her own, but as she wrote, she always felt something was wrong.
Her typing hand paused, and she subconsciously clicked save, then took off her earphones: "Lili, what can I do for you?"
There were just the two of them in front of the desk, so it couldn't be that there wasn't enough room to squeeze in.
Ding Wei thought for a while: "Do you want to check the information?"
Lu Li shook her head, her face slightly red: "No, no, no, no, no, I just want to see how you write."
Ding Wei:……
The problem is that if you study writing a novel without reading some guide books or trying it yourself, what can you tell by just watching her crackling words?
Looking at the contents of my document again, this chapter is written about the step-by-step instructions for the wealthy businessman Zheng family to discover his life experience.
It's the first plot turning point.
The question is, just look at it like this, what can you see?
She thought for a while: "What you can't learn by reading this way is that you first have to try to write a story yourself. No matter how long or short it is, just make it complete. Then you can discover the shortcomings and slowly improve."
Lu Li glanced at her and said slowly: "Oh. I think your writing is quite easy. You don't need to think about it. It's similar to writing a composition. It shouldn't be too difficult." Her composition was pretty good.
Ding Wei thought to herself, this is what I thought before my manuscript was rejected three times.
She took a deep breath: "Anyway, you try it first."
Lu Li shook her head: "Weiwei, I want to see how you write first."
Ding Wei:……
She said directly: "I'm sorry, writing is a very personal matter. I don't want others to see it for the time being."
