Reborn business writer
Chapter 89
As the No.1 winner of the "Wan Zhi Award", Nan Nan became famous for a while, and there were some people who questioned Nan Nan because of the photos of him and Zhao Chengyan on the Internet, but now they have disappeared.One is that he is in the limelight, and the other is that he has won an award.In any case, if one's work wins an award, it's a shiny gold medal.It's better to have an award than nothing, right?
What's more, he rushed forward by overwhelming several great gods.This alone is enough to make people admire.
On the day that Nan Nan won the award, Zhao Chengyan went to the vegetable market and took a walk around in person, brought back a lot of things, and prepared to cook a meal by himself to reward Nan Nan.As a result, within 2 minutes of entering the kitchen, he escaped in embarrassment due to the sudden burning oil smoke.
It was the first time that Nan Nan and Tong Xiang saw him in such a mess, they were startled for a moment, and then seized the opportunity to laugh.As a matter of course, Zhao Chengyan grabbed the ears of the two of them.
Nan Nan and Tong Xiang repeatedly begged for mercy, but Zhao Chengyan asked them to work as supervisors in the kitchen on the grounds that they laughed at her and hurt her heart.Nan Nan took the opportunity to call Zhao Chengyan around and drink him, and had a good time as a patriarch.
A month passed quickly, and Nanan really received an invitation letter from Yun'an Publishing House, inviting him to participate in the "Yun'an Publishing House Writer's Anniversary Celebration".
Zhao Chengyan also knew about this, he said, "I'll take you there."
"Yeah." Na Nan nodded.
Zhao Chengyan drove him to the scene.It was in a hotel, and Zhao Chengyan just sent him to the door of the hotel and left.
"What did you forget?" Zhao Chengyan grabbed Nan Nan who was about to leave.
"What?" Nan Nan turned his head suspiciously.
Zhao Chengyan pointed to his lips, and stared at Nan Nan with a smile.
Nanan's face suddenly turned red.
Zhao Chengyan is now more and more open-minded, and even asks for good morning kisses, good night kisses, farewell kisses, etc...
Nan Nan was still very shy. He looked around and saw that there were few pedestrians, and they didn't pay attention to this side, so he quickly kissed Zhao Chengyan on the lips.
The speed of the kiss is extremely fast, as soon as you touch it, you leave.
That Nan ran away like a rabbit, his heart still beating wildly.
Zhao Chengyan touched his lips and looked at his back with a smile. He didn't drive away until he disappeared into the hotel.
And what they didn't know was that it all fell into the eyes of the owner of another car.
Na Nan went up to the seventh floor and finally came to the meeting place.As soon as he walked in, Na Nan breathed a sigh of relief.At the beginning, he thought that he was dressed too casually. Originally, he planned to wear a suit, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he just wore a more formal casual attire. Unexpectedly, when he went to the venue, there were people who looked better than him. Dress more sloppily.There was a man who came here wearing slippers, with a stubbled beard and disheveled clothes. If he was walking on the street, he might be considered a beggar.
This is also a unique kind of performance?
So, are all writers different?
Nan Nan was slightly embarrassed in his heart.
Of course, there are also several very beautiful writers MM, and they are also very young.
Since ancient times, heroes have been young.
Nanan sighed with emotion.
However, most of the writers still look like ordinary people, as if they are you, me, and him around them, looking ordinary.
But once you talk to them, there's more to them than looks.Especially those writers who are older, they are very kind and connotative.
Nan Nan was a little restrained when he first walked in. He sat quietly in the corner where he walked, and an ordinary old man happened to be sitting next to him, and the old man started talking to him.Nan Nan couldn't let it go at first, but under the old man's very humorous words, he quickly laughed, and then told a joke in return, and the two chatted slowly.
Talking to the old man, Na Nan benefited a lot. He felt that the other party was like a profound book and a glass of rich and mellow wine. Because of the increase in experience and the accumulation of experience, he exuded a sense of wisdom from the inside out. .
The old man liked the Book of Changes very much, but Nan Nan had never read the Book of Changes, so the old man explained it to him with great interest.
In addition to these writers, there are also some reporters in the conference room, but there are relatively few people now.
"Old Zhou!" Someone came over. It was a very young and handsome man, wearing rimless glasses, but he couldn't hide the aura of...um...gentle scum.
"Xiaodong..." The old man waved at him.
"Hi, Nan." The man came over and greeted Nan with an expression of "I know you very well".
Why does he know my name?
Nanan stared at him bewildered.
"I forgot to introduce myself." Probably seeing Nan Nan's embarrassment, the man smiled, "My name is Dongyang, and another name is Dongfang Xigua. I am currently the editor-in-chief of the novel department of Yun'an Publishing House."
"Dongfang watermelon?!" Nan Nan was surprised and delighted, looking him up and down.I really didn't expect Dongfang Xigua to be such a young man.At least he never thought that he would be this kind of ruffian-like guy, who looked like a playboy who enjoyed having fun.If he was walking on the street, he would definitely not think that such a person was engaged in the cultural industry.
"It's me, haha, why, can't you think of it?" Dongfang Watermelon said with a smile.
"Eh? This...it's really different from what I imagined..." Nan Nan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You know each other?" Elder Zhou looked at the two suspiciously.
"I know, I met on the Internet." Dongfang Watermelon laughed.
"We met on the Internet?" Zhou Lao shook his head and said with emotion, "It really is a young man. We old people seem to be quitting the arena."
"Where is there, Mr. Zhou's book is meaningful, and reading your book is very beneficial." Dongfang Xigua sat next to him.
"You know how to say good things." Elder Zhou also smiled, and turned to Nan Nan, "By the way, young man, it seems that this is the first time I've seen you. What kind of books are you writing?"
Nan Nan was a little nervous. In front of this old man, he suddenly felt embarrassed to tell about his writing on the Internet.It felt like it was down a notch.After all, those books have no connotation.
But when the old man asks a question, it is not good if he does not answer.
Dongfang Watermelon said: "Nanan's pen name is Do Again, the one who wrote "Cloud Wars", "Mie Shi" and "Death Town"."
"Oh, it turns out that you were the one who wrote "Mie Shi"." Mr. Zhou suddenly realized, without the slightest look of contempt on his face, "Sure enough, you are young and promising, and my grandson still likes your book."
Nan Nan breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."
Elder Zhou patted him on the shoulder.
After a while, the host came to the stage and gave an opening speech, which attracted everyone's attention.Everyone slowly sat around the round table in the center of the hall.
"Old Zhou, Nan, this way." Dongfang Watermelon stood up and pointed to the front table.
……Well?Want to sit at the front?
That table is full of high-level people...
"Let's go." Elder Zhou patted him on the shoulder.
Nan Nan could only try his best to calmly walk behind the two of them.
I will definitely not talk later, not saying anything, just listening, not talking!
Nan Nan warned himself over and over again in his heart.
The three of them sat down at the table, chatted politely with the people on the table, and finally sat down.
After the host heated up the atmosphere on the stage, he invited the boss to give a speech.It was only then that Nan Nan discovered that the boss of Yun'an Publishing House was a woman in her 40s.She looked well maintained, without a hint of sharpness at all.And the talk is also very interesting, making the audience laugh out loud.Nan Nan couldn't help laughing too.
After the boss finished speaking, several people went up to speak, and then Mr. Zhou also went up to give a passionate speech and made a joke, which made the audience laugh.The atmosphere in the whole venue was very good.
But Nan was still a little nervous. It was his first time participating in such an important event, and he was still alone, and the people around him were unfamiliar. He was a little nervous, but also very excited.
Dongfang Xigua comforted him while introducing the people on stage to him, "I'll get used to it gradually in the future, in fact, everyone is very good."
Na Nan nodded and remained silent.The next thing is that everyone is free to move around. People at other tables walk around holding wine glasses, or someone goes out to talk to people at other tables.
"I'm going over there for a while, you take care of yourself." Dongfang Watermelon got up and left.Nanan nodded.
Oriental watermelon leaves.
Nan Nan buried his head in his food, originally thinking that he would be an invisible person until the end, but suddenly someone sat in the seat made by Dongfang Watermelon and said, "I have dealt with Chairman Zhaoyou before, it is a very good person." Those who are capable."
Nan Nan didn't react at first, but when he heard this sentence, he suddenly realized that this person came to talk to him. Although he didn't know this person, he quickly put down his chopsticks and replied, "Yes."
"You seem to be very familiar with Chairman Zhao?" the man asked, "It feels like you have an unusual relationship."
Nan Nan was startled, and carefully looked at the person in front of him. This was an ordinary middle-aged man, wearing a suit, and he didn't look like a writer here.
Why did he ask about his relationship with Zhao Chengyan?
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, Nan Nan smiled, "We know each other."
That person didn't expect Na Nan to be watertight. He obviously looked like a rookie, so he asked directly, "What's your relationship?"
"You seem to be very concerned, why?" Nan Nan asked calmly.
"I heard someone say that you seem to be living together. Moreover, I heard rumors that Zhao Chengyan seemed to have brought his male lover back when Mr. Zhao had his [-]th birthday."
Nan Nan frowned, "What does this have to do with you?"
Being questioned like this made Nan feel very uncomfortable.
"Is that male lover you?" The man was aggressive.
"Sorry, I want to go out." Nan Nan stood up and walked outside, and the man followed suit.Dongfang Watermelon was greeting the guests. Seeing this situation, she frowned and walked over.
On the way to the bathroom, Nan Nan stopped. He didn't want to go to the bathroom, but he didn't want to be questioned aggressively.In fact, he was a little annoyed. It doesn't matter if the relationship between the two is made public?Why subconsciously avoid it?
Thinking of this, his brows gradually relaxed.
Looking up, he saw the man approaching.
"That sir." The man smiled with a gentle expression on his face.
Nan Nan nodded politely to him, the initial impatience disappeared from his face.
"Then Mr. avoids my question and doesn't answer directly, so it's not easy to say it?"
"That's right, I just want to go to the bathroom." Nan Nan smiled lightly.
The man was startled, not quite understanding why his attitude suddenly changed.
"Then, what is the relationship between you and Chairman Zhao?" The man's eyes glowed.
Just as Nan Nan was about to answer, Dongfang Watermelon suddenly came over from behind and shouted, "Nan Nan, why are you here? Mr. Zhou wants to see you."
"Old Zhou?"
Why do you want to see him?
Although puzzled, Nan still hurriedly walked towards Dongfang Watermelon.The moment he passed by the man, the man seemed to want to ask more questions, but Dongfang Xigua's cold and unkind eyes made him stop talking.
For this princeling, everyone is still very face-saving.
The man smiled at him, quite expressively.
Dongfang Xigua glanced at the man, turned around and followed Nan to leave.
"Nan, don't say it." Before entering the hall, Dongfang Xigua said suddenly.
Nan Nan's footsteps stopped.
"Speaking out, it won't do you any good." Dongfang Xigua stared straight ahead, but the content of her words pierced Nan Nan's heart.
"Why? You know?" Nanan asked.
"I saw it, it's downstairs." Dongfang Xigua explained, turning to look at him, without any contempt in his expression, as if this incident was normal and didn't touch him at all.His eyes are serious.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about him. He's just started now. You don't want him to annoy him for personal reasons. I'm not discriminating against you. Many people don't say it, but they don't agree with it in their hearts. .Especially for business people, sometimes there are many opportunities to choose, and they will not choose someone who is too special. Besides, you can know your affairs yourself, why do you have to publish them for the whole world to see? You are like thousands of ordinary people, isn’t it good to be quiet? The so-called happiness does not need to be recognized by others, but to be recognized by yourself.”
Hearing Dongfang Xigua's words, Nan Nan gradually changed from surprise to calmness. When Dongfang Watermelon's words ended, he smiled, "I don't want to get other people's approval, it's just that people have asked. I don't think it's good. concealed."
Dongfang Watermelon is still very serious, "It depends on who it is. It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary person or a friend who asks, but it doesn't matter if someone has a heart. No matter what you say, he will interpret it as a certain effect he wants. That's good for you. It’s no good, why let these people succeed?”
Nan Nan nodded, agreeing with Dongfang Watermelon's words.He is also doing it for his own good.
What's more, he rushed forward by overwhelming several great gods.This alone is enough to make people admire.
On the day that Nan Nan won the award, Zhao Chengyan went to the vegetable market and took a walk around in person, brought back a lot of things, and prepared to cook a meal by himself to reward Nan Nan.As a result, within 2 minutes of entering the kitchen, he escaped in embarrassment due to the sudden burning oil smoke.
