After Li Xinlan answered the phone, she hurriedly explained some things to Sun Youxian and drove away.

When Sun Youxian was at a loss, Xie Yun called to care about his employment situation. Hearing his indescribable appearance, he asked him out for lunch.

Sun Youxian thought that he had just moved and there were indeed some things that needed to be added, so he readily agreed.

Before going out, he deliberately knocked on the door of the study room, and carefully reported to Zhong Jingyu through the door that he was about to go out. However, after waiting for a while, he didn't get half a response, so Sun Youxian could only give up and choose to go out.

I have to say that the location of Xuanhe Yayuan is really good. Although the environment of the community is as quiet as a paradise, but after leaving the main entrance, walk a short distance and then turn a corner, there is a commercial street with stations, supermarkets, restaurants... Everything is available.

The place to eat with Xie Yun was next to the residential area he rented before, and Sun Youxian planned to take the bicycle he had been riding for many years to Xuanhe Yayuan.Bicycles are a good thing in Dahuaxia. They have low entry requirements, low purchase costs, and are not afraid of traffic jams. They come and go like the wind, which is especially suitable for Sun Youxian's current situation-it took him nearly [-] kilometers to walk from Zhong Jingyu's house to the main entrance of the community. A quarter of an hour.

Sun Youxian took the bicycle, and went to Xie Yun's room to pack some things that were temporarily left there, and the two went to the small restaurant they often went to eat together.

After ordering some fried dishes and opening two bottles of beer, Sun Youxian clinked glasses with Xie Yun, thanking him for his care in the past few years: "Brother, thank you for the past few years, you have given me a lot of useful advice, unfortunately I'm not enlightened, and I haven't written anything, but I have failed your teaching."

Xie Yun and Sun Youxian are in the same school, the same major, and although Sun Youxian is a year older, they graduated under the same tutor.The two met at school because of writing online articles, but they differed in their career choices.

Xie Yun set his goal of being an editor and gave up writing articles when he was in his junior year, but Sun Youxian persisted all the time, so that he did not look for a job after graduation, and wrote while working part-time.When he was facing an economic crisis and was almost on the streets, it was Xie Yun who extended a helping hand and helped him tide over the difficulties.

Xie Yun waved his hand briskly, and ate the food: "It's all trivial things. As a brother, you still care about it with me. It's you, the first time you work, if you don't understand anything, just ask, how is Zhong Jingyu himself?" I don't know much, but Old Zheng and Sister Lan are very easy-going, you can learn more from them, and it will definitely benefit you in the future."

"Hehe, senior brother I know." Sun Youxian nodded, smiled silly, and then showed a look of hesitation, "Senior brother, about Young Master Zhong, did you hear anything about him before?"

"Huh? What's the news?" Xie Yun talked to him vaguely while eating, "Didn't I tell you everything I knew? What's the matter? I saw the deity today, and it's different from what you thought?"

Sun Youxian pouted, really not knowing how to answer this question.

"Hey, my little brother, I told you earlier, if you love novels, read novels, don't make yourself like a fan of star chasing, fantasizing about the author you like all day long A male god." Sun Youxian never concealed that Xie Yun regarded Zhong Jingyu as a male god, and he described Zhong Jingyu's suave appearance more than once, but Xie Yun always regarded this matter as Sun Youxian's. conjecture.

"Although I have not been in the industry for a long time, I have met many writers and writers who come in and out of the company. To put it bluntly, these people who rely on their pens for a living are ordinary people. You think of him like Tony Leung and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Don’t be disappointed when you see a real person.”

Sun Youxian opened his mouth to refute, but when he thought of Zhong Jingyu's walking corpse now, he could only shut up embarrassingly.

"But I remembered something when you mentioned it." Xie Yun put down his chopsticks, took a sip of beer, and continued, "One of my colleagues complained to me, saying that Zhong Jingyu was negligent in his work, and he was scolded by the leader because of it. If Zheng Shuo hadn't dealt with it, the company might have given up on Zhong Jingyu."

Sun Youxian came to his senses: "Why didn't you mention this to me?"

"I'm afraid you'll be worried, and it's okay later, so I won't tell you." Xie Yun smacked his lips twice, and said while recalling, "I was still an intern at that time, and my colleagues told me that Zhong Jingyu It seemed that Jiang Lang had run out of talent, and the delivery time was getting more and more delayed. The quality of the written content was not as good as before, and it didn't match the work plan arranged by the company. Even Zheng Shuo rejected his manuscript several times and asked him to rewrite it.

Three years ago, after he finished writing the Mystery series, he started writing the current Chamber of Secrets series, but you see, three years have passed, and how much he has written. If it weren't for Zheng Shuo, the company's top management actually decided to give up Zhong Jing. It's gone. "

Sun Youxian gasped, lowered his voice and asked Xie Yun: "Why is this happening? I... I always thought that the writing of the Chamber of Secrets series was slow because Young Master Zhong pursued quality, so why..."

"You are his assistant now, and I'll give you some gossip, so you have a good idea." Xie Yun cooperated with Sun Youxian, and also lowered his voice to talk to him, "It is said that Zhong Jingyu had a Girlfriend, when he was in a relationship with his girlfriend, there was news that he was being taken care of by a rich woman and his work was suspected of plagiarism, and then his girlfriend broke up with him, and he himself began to slump and slack off work.”

"Baobaobao...to keep?" Sun Youxian's face was so ugly that he looked like he had eaten half a fly, "Plagiarized... plagiarized?"

As a veteran fan, Sun Youxian was shocked and overwhelmed when he heard such an inside story for the first time.

Xie Yun nodded, waved his chopsticks, and continued: "It's all gossip spread in private in the company, and I don't know if it's true or not. It is said that someone above suppresses it, so it never leaked out. Zhong Jingyu became famous at a young age, it is inevitable It's normal for some people to be envious, jealous, and gossip a little bit."

Although Xie Yun said so, Sun Youxian felt that he was just comforting him no matter what he heard. After eating a meal, he didn't know what to eat. After saying goodbye to Xie Yun, he returned to Xuanhe Yayuan in a trance.

Back at Zhong Jingyu's house, the whole room was the same as when he left. Although he didn't know if Zhong Jingyu minded his going out, Sun Youxian still knocked on the door of the study room twice honestly. Report to Zhong Jingyu that he has come back, then breathe lightly and stand at the door to listen to the movement inside.

Sun Youxian, who stuck on the door and listened for a long time but did not hear any response, finally had to go upstairs with his things in disappointment to tidy up the room.

After Sun Youxian finished packing, it was already dark. After taking a shower, he turned on the computer, dug out a bunch of account passwords that Li Xinlan had given him, and started logging into Zhong Jingyu's work mailbox, Weibo, Penguin, etc.

Zhong Jingyu is really isolated from the outside world. Even if he doesn't have to meet and talk to people, he just doesn't do it by typing and communicating through the screen. In the past, he used to spend some energy to manage his work account, but he has abandoned it in the past few years. , It all depends on Li Xinlan's management.

According to the handover information given to him by Li Xinlan, Sun Youxian got a general understanding of Zhong Jingyu's work content and situation from the emails in the mailbox, the chat records of Penguin, and the microblogs and blogs he posted.

Then I have to sigh deeply, if there is no Li Xinlan in the past few years, Zhong Jingyu, in front of the public, will be no different from disappearing in the world--mails are handled by Li Xinlan; Penguin is chatted by Li Xinlan; Weibo is by Li Xinlan Posted; the blog was updated by Li Xinlan...

Think about every time I see Zhong Jingyu posting on Weibo, I immediately run to leave a message and forward it, but the one who sees all this through the screen is Li Xinlan... Sun Youxian instantly feels like an idiot.

Even more frustrated, Sun Youxian dug out the mobile hard disk that Li Xinlan gave him with black lines all over his head. It is said that the entire hard disk contained everything that Zhong Jingyu wrote so far. treasure.

The hard drive was organized by Li Xinlan very neatly. The folders were all named according to the year. Sun Youxian opened this year's folder directly. There were only a few documents, but just looking at the names was enough to make Sun Youxian excited—these were all secret rooms Big Adventure has not published content!

Zhong Jingyu's Secret Room Adventure series was created three years ago. It is a series of sci-fi suspense stories started after the Mi series.

The story tells the story of the young Meng Ming and his friend Lu Junjie. After watching the movie, they left according to the exit signs, but entered one secret room after another.

The published first volume "Safety Exit" tells the story of Meng Ming and Lu Junjie who entered the first secret room, and thought they could leave after unlocking it, but only entered the second secret room again. The ending of "Safety Exit" is that the two unlocked They solved the puzzle of the second secret room and found the exit, but they did not say whether they found a way to leave.

It wasn't until some chapters of the second book "This Way Is No Way" was released on the Internet that readers didn't know that the adventure in the chamber of secrets is a series with continuous plots.

As a senior book fan, Sun Youxian knows all these things clearly. In the days when "This Road Is Nowhere" has been updated for a few months and has not been published for two years, Sun Youxian has already published "The Road Is Nowhere". "Safe Exit" has been read several times.

Therefore, when he saw the folder named "This Road Is No Way" lying on the hard drive, he almost opened it with trembling hands, and then flipped through the new chapter with bright eyes.

Although Zhong Jingyu is an actual writer, his readers are basically young people. Nowadays, young people like to read novels on the Internet, so Zhong Jingyu’s novels are combined online and offline. The number of words, update some chapters on my blog from time to time, and finally complete the updates on the blog one after another after the novel is published.

In this way, readers can experience a feeling of early adopters and know the progress of his creation, and at the same time, it can attract readers to buy the published physical novels, which is a method that kills two birds with one stone.

However, when Zhong Jingyu started the dead house mode, the progress of "This Road Is No Way" was like a snail. The last time he updated the chapter of "This Road Is No Way" on his blog was about half a year ago.

Therefore, when Sun Youxian saw a new content that was [-] characters more than the one on the Internet, he almost forgot to sleep and eat, and finished it in one sitting.

However, after reading it, what awaited him was still heartache—the life and death of Meng Ming and Lu Junjie who were in trouble was uncertain, which made Sun Youxian even more anxious and wanted to press the manuscript.

yes!Reminder!

Thinking of his current occupation, the light bulb in Sun Youxian's mind "ding" lit up, and he hurriedly checked Zhong Jingyu's work mailbox—according to Li Xinlan's account, Zhong Jingyu would send the content he coded to his work mailbox Here, what his assistant has to do is to check the typos in the article, then organize the format, store it in the file, and remind Zhong Jingyu according to the delivery time and word count requirements.

However, when Sun Youxian looked through the mailbox, he almost cried. The latest content that Zhong Jingyu sent to the mailbox was already two months ago!

two months!The whole two months!Zhong Jingyu did not post any new content!

Meng Ming and Lu Junjie are still half dead! The plot of "This Road Is Nowhere" still hasn't made any progress!Sun Youxian, who is closest to the author's true self, still doesn't know the latest development of the story!

The author has something to say: Why is it a series of secret room adventures? Because when I was coding, I happened to be chatting with my friends about real secret room games, so, yes, that’s right, my name is so random and capricious ╮(╯_╰) ╭
