a winter fire

10

I really don't mean to ridicule Zhou Hanzhang at all, but I suspect that he is living the life of an 80-year-old in his thirties.

I mean he's very regimented and doesn't eat fast food.

Zhou Hanzhang leaned on the back of the chair and looked at me, seeming a little embarrassed.

In order to alleviate this embarrassment, I smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, otherwise, I will ask for this meal, and you owe me a meal."

Zhou Hanzhang looked up at me, as if he was not very happy.

I am a person who sometimes has the ability to make an already embarrassing atmosphere even more embarrassing.

"Let's talk." He lowered his head and took another sip of Coke.

He drank Coke like medicine, and insisted on frowning, as if Coke was sorry for him.

I took french fries and dipped them in ketchup: "Mr. Zhou, that... how do you know that I came to you because of your new book?"

I remember that on the first day I met him, I said that I came to see him for my dad, and that I came to visit him because I had admired him for a long time. If I remember correctly, I never took the initiative to mention about him. about his new book.

Could it be that someone betrayed me?

He was holding the Coke cup, and I always felt that he took that thing for my brain.

Zhou Hanzhang was silent for a few seconds, then sighed.

"The last time you came, you were wearing a work badge."

how to say?I really might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill myself.

"Bai Wei, right?" he said, "The book has indeed been completed, but I have made it very clear to your editor-in-chief that I have no intention of publishing it at all. No matter how many people you come to lobby for, I will not change my mind."

"Mr. Zhou," it has already been exposed anyway, and there is no need for me to continue acting, "I did come because of your new book, but I am indeed your reader."

I tried my best to look serious and sincere: "I read your "Wild Crossing" when I finished the college entrance examination. It was the first time that I read the works of domestic contemporary writers so seriously, and maybe it was because I grew up in the city. In the same year, we caught up with family planning and were surrounded by only children. We are very emotionally indifferent. I have briefly learned about some domestic themes related to rural areas and family relationships, but I am not interested in reading them at all, but your "Wild Crossing" opened my heart. Closed doors, let me know how shallow I am."

These words are not false. Before "Wild Crossing", I really didn't like the works of domestic contemporary writers. I always felt that those words were full of "rustic" atmosphere. It's not that they are bad, but they just don't suit my taste.

Later, I suddenly realized that the problem was actually my own. It was my short-sightedness, and I started jumping to conclusions without reading many books. This would only expose my ignorance.

After that, I read a lot of works by domestic writers, some of which were really heavy and shocking. It can even be said that those works far surpassed "Ye Du" in terms of literary value, but "Ye Du" was the only one that I often relished. The reason is probably that it is like my guide, leading me to open the door to a new world and feel emotions that I have not felt before.

So, no matter what, the book "Ye Du" and Zhou Hanzhang are indeed unusual to me in a sense, at least I am not lying about this.

"Mr. Zhou, since you've seen it all, let me tell you the truth." I gulped down half a cup of Coke and burped in embarrassment, "I'm still in the probationary period. , the leader ordered that if I can't sign your book a year ago, I have to pack it up and leave."

Is it human instinct to sell miserably?No idea, but my instinct.

People who engage in literary creation should be quite emotional, and they are all soft-hearted and soft-hearted. If I sell more and more, maybe this will happen.

I said: "Mr. Zhou, it is really difficult to find a job now, and I really like this job. In addition, my feelings for you can be learned from heaven and earth. If the first book I write in the industry is yours, I will give it to you." Really die without regret."

I raised my head and looked at him aggrievedly: "Can't you really think about it?"

Zhou Hanzhang looked at me and made me feel hairy.

You should be soft-hearted, right?

You should think about it again, right?

Just when I thought he was wavering, this man, who was colder than winter, did not disappoint. He said to me blankly: "No."

Gan.

As expected of him.

Amazing Zhou Hanzhang.
