Rebirth of a Writer's Life

Tao Sheng looked at the line and paused.The company's annual meeting is on 1.4, which means that he has no time conflicts with the above two events, and he can go to the annual meeting in the New Territories.But……

[Painting Boat]: The signing event is not much different from today. Can "Agarwood" be published in such a short period of time?

[Editor King's Landing]: ... a bit difficult.

[Painting Boat]: ...Then I'll sign a horse?

[Editor Junlin]: Hahaha, that's right, I didn't think about it.But the annual meeting should still be possible, right?Which city are you in?

[Huachuan]: The annual meeting should be able to go, I'm in city b.

[Editor King's Landing]: OK, I've confirmed the list.

[Painting boat]: OK.

After Tao Sheng finished beating, he leaned against the back of the chair and stretched, but when he came back to his senses, he found a profile picture flashing in the lower right corner, it was Susu.

[Susu]: The boat is big, is it there?

[Painting Boat]: Yes, what's the matter?

[Susu]: Ah, well, I have something to ask Chuan Da qvq [Painting Boat]: What?

Tao Sheng stared at the screen in bewilderment, he remembered that Susu never spoke like this before, she looked very formal, and after he replied, almost 5 minutes had passed, and there was no news from the other party.

When Tao Sheng was worried and wanted to send something to the past, the other party finally got news.

[Susu]: Big, it’s red and purple, because I’ve been painting "Agarwood" for a while, and there are quite a lot of serialized chapters.Basically, it has reached the standard page number of the published book.

[Susu]: So I personally hope to publish the book. I came to Chuanda because I want to get Jiang Zi’s permission. Of course, the decision is still up to you, Chuanda. It’s okay to refuse if you don’t like it. I will continue to serialize.

Tao Sheng looked at the screen and opened his eyes wide.

He didn't understand why Susu was so cautious, even cautious. In his eyes, this was really good news.

[Painting Boat]: Of course!Susu, what are you thinking about so nervous.

【Su Su】:! Can qvq! !Because I was rejected before, I was a little nervous, thank you Chuanda! ! !

[Painting Boat]: I am right to thank you. I have persisted until now and have been very serious about every 1p. It is a commemoration for me and you to be able to come out. The painting is so good!

[Susu]: Shooting the boat is big, I can handle the process, I am so moved that I am about to cry, and finally I will share with the boat into qaq [Drawing Boat]: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't know much about the process, but the book I chose to publish first in the New Territories Contest is "Agarwood".I don’t want to share anything, just give it all to you, it’s my thank you for helping me like this all the time.

【Susu】: Damn it, how can this be possible!Da Da, you are the original work. If there is no original work, I don’t have any paintings!The share must be given!

[Huachuan]: Oh, speaking of this, I'm actually thinking, Susu, you can consider creating your own original.

[Su Su]: ... No, I don’t have that big a brain. Every time I think other people’s compliments, although I have considered it myself and tried it, but it’s really not good at all.

[Painting Boat]: Try it out, start with the character design first, and then slowly transition to the content.You have drawn so many books and read a lot, so it is definitely possible in this respect.

[Susu]: ...Really?

[Drawing Boat]: That’s right. Otherwise, I’ll draw as much as I can. At the beginning, it doesn’t have to be so long. I started with comics one by one.When it feels good, I will send it to readers.

[Su Su]: Small comics seem to be fine, I will consider tvt, the ship is big, I think you still have to take the share, otherwise I will feel uneasy.

[Painting Boat]: Okay, I'll take it.

Before Susu could reply, Tao Sheng popped out another message.

[Painting Boat]: My part, I will give you a red envelope after I get it back, hahahaha.

【Su Su】:...

Tao Sheng smiled, didn't care about Susu's next reply, but turned to open the group of five, and announced happily.

[Painting Boat]: The comic version of "Agarwood" is coming soon, do you expect it haha!

【lemon】:! !

[Dongdong]: Damn it! !Is Susu ready to go out! !

[Gu Yin]: Looking forward to it.

【Susu】: tvt

[Painting boat]: Haha Susu just told me, I feel that good things will continue in the past two days.

[Dongdong]: Damn Susu, hurry up, the big ship is also looking for speed, I'll buy ten copies each! !

[Lemon]: Upstairs 1, it's great!

[Su Su]: Hey, everyone is so supportive and loves you so much, I will continue to work hard on tvt, saying that you should persuade Chuan Da, if he refuses to share it, I am embarrassed to share it.

[Painting Boat]: →→Come and persuade Susu, she insists that I take the share, but I think she is working so hard that I will almost become a bad face if I go to take the money for nothing.

[Susu]: Damn, the boat is big!

[Dongdong]: Hahaha Susu, you are so hot, the boat is a big man, the little boy is so insane.

[Lemon]: Hahaha little boy!By the way, Chuanda, are you planning to go to the annual meeting in the New Territories?If you go, wouldn't you want to announce your awesome gender to Shi Bird?Then I can also take a look at Chuan Dabang’s appearance from the photos secretly taken by others =v=!

[Gu Yin]: The voice is also great.

【A Zheng】: Hehe.

[Hua Chuan]: No, their annual meeting is on January [-]rd. I can go there that day, but I can’t go to the signing event. I can’t get the book in such a short time.

[Dongdong]: Oh, Jiang Zi, it's because she can't hide the little painting boat.

【Painting boat】:...

[Lemon]: The upstairs upstairs dared to molested Chuanda, dragged out and killed!

[Gu Yin]: Putting it on yy will actually be a big surprise for readers.

[Lemon]: Fuck you, you're still here, I thought you'd already been dragged down by Ah Zheng, so don't look at anything evil.

【A Zheng】: In the car.

[Gu Yin]: ...

While Tao Sheng was arguing with them, the profile picture in the lower right corner flashed again.

[Susu]: tvt, the boat is big, I don’t even know how to say thank you, you support me so much.In the future, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side. I will do whatever I can. I am so moved that I am about to cry. Thank you Chuanda, really.

Tao Sheng looked at this line of words and raised the corners of his mouth.

[Painting Boat]: There is no such thing as meeting you. For me, it is also a matter of my life to be grateful for.

Yes, without any one of them, there would be no Tao Sheng today, and there would be no Huachuan today. At that moment, Tao Sheng seemed to see a brighter future and beckoned to himself.

The weather is getting cooler and the annual meeting is getting closer. Although most of the preparations have been completed, it is obvious that as long as there is no error in the whole process, everyone in the company will still be worried.

"You want to resign?" Wan Xin leaned back in her chair, glanced at the resignation application, and raised her eyebrows.

As soon as the matter was finished, Tao Sheng put the resignation letter on her desk.

"Yes, Sister Xin, but I will do whatever I am asked to do at the annual meeting," Tao Sheng nodded, "I have thought about it for a long time, this job is really not suitable for me, although Sister Xin, you have always so……"

Tao Sheng hadn't finished speaking when he saw Wan Xin waving his hand. He froze for a while, not understanding what she meant, so he stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

Then she shook her head, looked behind Tao Sheng, and shouted, "President Yan."

Tao Sheng froze for a moment, and then froze.

No one knows how the location was transferred from the office of the head of Jinshi's marketing department to a tea shop near the company.

Tao Sheng stared at the coffee in front of him, no matter where he was at ease.

"You want to resign?" the person opposite finally said after taking a sip of his coffee.

"……Um."

"why?"

"Because this job is not very suitable for me." Tao Sheng smiled wryly.

"Oh, someone poached you?" Yan Xiu asked suddenly, tilting his head.

"What?" Tao Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head abruptly, "No, no, Mr. Yan, don't think about it, how could someone poach me."

"It's not impossible." Yan Xiu smiled and asked, "Have you decided? Are you going to change your mind?"

"Ah."

"Oh, it's a pity." Yan Xiu smiled, "I originally wanted to give you this company."

"..."

Tao Sheng raised his head abruptly, unable to believe, "What?!"

"Well, I had this idea."

"...Boss Yan, are you alright?" Tao Sheng said in shock.

"Haha, little guy, what's my name?" Yan Xiu suddenly laughed and looked at Tao Sheng meaningfully.

"Yan Xiu?"

"No." Yan Xiu curled the corner of his lips, and then showed a naughty smile.

This smile, which was completely different from Yan Xiu's usual impression, made Tao Sheng's heart tremble, and then all the fragments hidden deep in his memory revived in an instant.

"Yan Yuanhang?!" Tao Sheng straightened his back in shock, his voice soared several decibels, "It's you?!"

The eyes of the surroundings all focused for a moment, Tao Sheng realized his situation, quickly suppressed his emotions, and smiled at them apologetically.

"It's me. You don't remember how many years I've been gone." Yan Xiu played with his taste.

"What...it's been almost 20 years." Tao Sheng still couldn't react, raised his head and looked at Yan Xiu, "Are you really Yan Yuanhang?"

"Well, what else?"

"No." Tao Sheng patted his head uncomfortably, "I'm a bit overwhelmed."

Yan Xiu smiled and didn't speak any more, giving him time to sort out his thoughts, after all, it was almost 20 years ago.

Looking at that face, Tao Sheng felt his head was blown away with a "boom---".

Yan Yuanhang, he finally understood why Yan Xiu looked so familiar.

More than 20 years ago, when Mama Tao and he were still in their hometown city, Mama Tao was a local high school teacher and Yan Yuanhang was a student in her class.Tao Sheng doesn't remember the specific things very clearly, but he still vaguely remembers that one day Mother Tao suddenly brought someone back for dinner. At first, Tao Sheng was quite afraid. His childhood experience made him withdrawn, even a little xenophobic. .But after getting along for a period of time, this attitude changed completely. Yan Yuanhang looked fierce and liked everyone, but in fact he was very kind to Tao Sheng.

It also dragged his blessings, Tao Sheng lived his entire junior high school life safe and sound, at least not as bullied as in elementary school.

Speaking of which, since that dinner, Yan Yuanhang would come to his house to play from time to time, sometimes it was called by Tao's mother, and sometimes he came by himself.

But what won't change is that every time he comes, he will bring something to Tao Sheng, food, books, toys, everything.

At that time, Tao Sheng didn't have much concept of money, but when he grew up a little later, he knew that what Yan Yuanhang brought with him back then were all valuable things.

Mother Tao always talked about him at the beginning, but seeing his indifferent face, she let him go, but Yan Yuanhang's favorite dishes began to appear frequently and alternately on the table.

When he was young, Tao Sheng liked this brother very much. After all, Tao Sheng had never been bullied by outsiders since he came here, and Yan Yuanhang was much older than him. He had a lot of interesting ideas in his head, and he was very courageous. When the two came back covered in mud, Mother Tao tidied up the elder and the younger in an angry and funny manner.

At that time, Tao Sheng really thought he had an older brother, but after Yan Yuanhang spent two New Years with them, he suddenly disappeared.

From a certain day, after Tao Sheng came back, he could no longer be found on the sofa like before. Day after day, he didn't dare to ask Mother Tao about the whereabouts of that big brother.

At that time, I was young, and I was bored in the bed and cried several times, so I just waited for several months. After Yan Yuanhang didn't move, Tao Sheng also tried to ask Mother Tao, but the latter's answer was also vague. It's not accurate.Under such circumstances, Tao Sheng could only give up slowly.

But the person who disappeared nearly 20 years ago can still remember the other person's name deeply, which is enough to show how important this person is in his heart.

When Tao Sheng's gaze focused on Yan Xiu again, he became a bit more inquisitive.

So, Yan Yuanhang is Yan Xiu?That's why he always felt that Yan Xiu looked familiar?

But where did he go?He even went away for so many years, and changed his name after he came back?

Yan Xiu glanced at him clearly, as if he understood his thoughts, and said with a smile, "I joined the army when I was a sophomore in high school. Teacher Tao didn't tell you, did he?"

"No." Tao Sheng shook his head, "Going so suddenly?"

Yan Xiu smiled, "Yes, there were many reasons at that time. I didn't have time to say hello to Teacher Tao. I guess she could only hear some rumors, and maybe it's my fault."

"When did you leave the army?" Tao Sheng raised his head.

"I retired a few years ago, and I thought about going to find you guys," Yan Xiu shook his head, "But I got into a lot of trouble when I was young, and I was afraid that you would get angry, so I never went."

Tao Sheng froze for a moment, then nodded half-understood.

Yan Xiu talked to him a lot that day, until Tao Sheng went out of the community, he didn't manage to sort out the huge amount of information on the other side.

Roughly speaking, it was because of some knots in Yan Xiu's heart that year, so he hurriedly went to block and become a soldier.Then after so many years, the knot in my heart was gradually untied, but I provoked many people at the beginning, so I didn't rush to find Tao Sheng after I came back.This is understandable, Tao Sheng thought that he was still just one of the people Yan Xiu knew, and it was reasonable for him to find him or not in just over two years.

But Yan Xiu obviously didn't think so, and it could even be said that he valued Tao Sheng's mother and son.He also said that it was a pity that after he gradually settled those messy things, moved forward step by step and finally became the largest shareholder of the domestic entertainment giant SNS, when he wanted to find them again, Tao Sheng, mother and son were no longer in the original place.

Exactly five years ago, Tao Sheng started college, and the two of them moved to City B together.

It was almost silent, Tao's mother didn't like that city very much, it can be seen from the fact that Tao Sheng came to city b immediately after entering university.They have been there and have not had many close friends, that is, general neighbor contacts.

That being said, Tao Sheng remembered it instead. When they decided to move to City B, Mother Tao looked very anxious. At that time, Tao Sheng thought it was because of her joy of being admitted to university, but now she thinks about it carefully , something seems wrong.

But today, Tao Sheng can't tell what's wrong.

Of course, these are Tao Sheng's own generalizations and understandings after listening to them. He can still feel that there are many gaps in Yan Xiu's descriptions.

For example, he didn't say how he found out that Tao Sheng was in the company. For example, he didn't confess when he first met Tao Sheng. For example, Sister Qin and Wan Xin treated him...

Tao Sheng didn't dare to think about it. If he interpreted all the good intentions he took as a workplace as purposeful, it would be too ugly, and all thoughts came to an abrupt end.

Yan Xiu finally said that he wanted to spend a day with him to see Mama Tao, and Tao Sheng agreed.

Good friends from many years ago reunited, they should be happy no matter what, Tao Sheng took a deep breath, raised his head and continued walking towards home.

It was at this time that Tao Sheng felt his arm was pulled.

Tao Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously turned around, and then all expressions froze on his face.

"..." Guo Huai seemed to want to say hello, but after seeing Tao Sheng's expression, his outstretched hands froze in the air. After a while, he smiled awkwardly, feeling a little uncomfortable on his face , and took his hand back, but his eyes were still glued to Tao Sheng, a little unassuming, "Long time no see."

Tao Sheng withdrew his hand and gave Guo Huai a complicated look.

At this moment, he didn't have a lot of violent reactions to Guo Huai's appearance like he did some time ago.As far as he was concerned, all his anger had been vented that night, and he hated this person as much as he loved him.

If he doesn't love, he won't hate again. As far as he is concerned, that account was written off that night.

So he took a step back, looked at the other party carefully, and smiled politely, "What's the matter?"

Guo Huai had lost weight, his face was ugly as hell, and his chin had grown stubble. If he wasn't too familiar with this person, Tao Sheng thought, he might not be able to recognize him at first sight.

"I want to see you." Guo Huai said bluntly, but even if he didn't say it, Tao Sheng could feel it from his burning gaze.

Tao Sheng looked elsewhere, shook his head and was about to speak when Guo Huai interrupted him.

"Don't talk yet. I've been thinking about it for a long time before I dared to come to see you. I'm afraid that if you say it, the lines I prepared myself will be disrupted by you." Guo Huai smiled wryly, "Can you get into the car?" say?"

Tao Sheng was silent for a while, shook his head, took a step back and said, "I'll give you time, just talk here."

Guo Huai nodded and didn't force him too much. He thought for a while and said, "I have always felt ashamed of Xiao Qing in my heart. I owe him my life. That matter has weighed on me for more than ten years, and I haven't recovered from it. So I am very afraid of forgetting him, I feel that I owe him my life in this life, I have to remember this thing for the rest of my life, even if it exists only to torture me, I must never forget it.”

"But you gave me too much...too many things that I have never had before, and I am especially afraid that once I fall into it, I will forget everything, so I treat you...in a bad way to remind me all the time Remember this incident. I know that I was selfish in doing this, and I also know that I was wrong." Guo Huai looked at Tao Sheng, his eyes were a little red, "Tao Sheng, I am not used to feelings for you, I can learn to cook , although it is not as delicious as your cooking, I can make my house clean, although I am comfortable without you, I can really learn to do a lot of things, but I..."

But I can't learn without you.

Guo Huai didn't know why, but when he said this, his voice suddenly stopped.

He couldn't go on, he didn't know how to tell Tao Sheng these feelings, he didn't know how to let the person who once loved him look at him again, he didn't know.

"Then I've paid off a bit." Tao Sheng smiled, looking very calm, and asked, "You came to me to talk about this?"

Guo Huai looked at Tao Sheng, looking deeply, as if he had exhausted all his strength, until all the emotions in his eyes suddenly turned into a firmness that Tao Sheng had never seen before, just so straight stab into his heart.

"I'm sorry," he said.

"I've thought about it. I don't want you to come back to me. I know you won't come back."

Tao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Guo Huai continued.

"I'm chasing you."

"Tao Sheng, don't reject me. This is my 'career' and the path I want to take. How much panic and suffering I gave you back then, let me experience it firsthand."

"I will throw away all the things you don't like, and then come to chase you seriously. Wherever you want to go, how you want to go, you can do it. This time, I will follow you, and I will wait for you to look back. Take a look at me, and I will try my best to stay by your side."

"Change me."

Guo Huai looked very different that day. Although no one could explain the details clearly, his smiling, rare and gentle face was clearly reflected in the sun, even the people on the other side of the road. on the window.
