unhappy eating

In the later period, public opinion fermented, and many people were guessing what was going on with Zhu Zhi's emotional line in this book, and who was that true love, but Zhu Zhi didn't pay much attention to it.

Cut off most of the contact with the outside world, and only maintain the occasional communication with the necessary people. The rest of the time is either eating and drinking in the kitchen, climbing mountains or running in the gym.

Both Zhu Zhi and Ye Shengwan didn't care much about the sales situation. The former was because she really felt that the situation in the process was irrelevant. What she cared about was that when the agreement was fulfilled in the end, whoever sold higher and who was lower between her and Zhong Xiu.The latter is because she only regards writing as the ordinary work that Zhu Zhi is doing. As long as the book is successfully published, Zhu Zhi is successfully completed for her.

However, Ye Shengwan did pay attention to the discussions and comments on the Internet for Zhu Zhi, and asked Zhu Zhi for his opinion.

Zhu Zhi answered inappropriately at the time and asked: "I remember I asked you if I want to come out of the closet or something like that, you told me to do whatever I want."

Ye Shengwan responded: "It still is."

Zhu Zhiyang smiled: "Then just wait."

The day before the Space Awards ceremony, before the plane took off, Zhu Zhi received a report from the publishing house. After a cursory look at the data, Zhu Zhi raised his eyebrows, replied "Thank you", and just turned off the phone. Ye Shengwan talked about the past.

Ye Shengwan didn't ask Zhu Zhi what he was watching just now, but just listened to her rambling.

"I used to come alone every time. When the awards were presented, we sat in a room prepared in advance, one for each award nominee, watched the screen, chatted and ate, and finally congratulated a certain station The one who got up." Zhu Zhi said, "We should be like this this time, you can see me through the big screen, and if you are lucky, I will also see you through the TV in the room, occasionally one or two shots."

"What did you think when you were alone before?" Ye Shengwan noticed that Zhu Zhi was hiding something from her, but she still didn't ask if Zhu Zhi didn't say anything, and she would always say what he had to say that day.

"I don't seem to think about anything. At most, I look forward to receiving a call from the organizer when I get off the plane." Zhu Zhi said while flipping out the memo on his mobile phone, and laughed twice, "But I will write it on the plane. Acceptance speech, just in case."

Ye Shengwan took it over and looked at it. The format is similar, but the content of thanks is different every year, and it is very unexpected.

——Thanks for the wind that blew to me last June.

— for all the unhappy and vengeful self that humiliates me.

—Thanks to my mother who kicked me out of the house.

——Thank you for the runway in college that made me almost unable to get up after a fall.

"What about this year?" Ye Shengwan asked her.

Zhu Zhi took back the phone and said, "Secret."

Ye Shengwan didn't ask any more questions.

After getting off the plane, they will go to the hotel they have already booked, and then they will have a dinner with other nominees. It is common to bring their families to this kind of dinner. After all, it is a glorious moment regardless of whether they win an award or not. We can witness together.

Zhu Zhi wanted Ye Shengwan to accompany her, but Ye Shengwan refused.

"Why?" Zhu Zhiba blinked his big eyes and asked.

"I'm not very familiar with this environment, and I'm not in the circle of writers. I don't know much. It would be better if you are all writers, but I'm a relative stranger. If I feel uncomfortable, you still need to take care of me. "Ye Shengwan's reasons were actually many and repetitive, but seeing Zhu Zhi's tendency to refute more and more, she had to use her trump card, "Plus, I don't like socializing very much, and I tend to scare them. "

At that time, Ye Shengwan had a cold face, but he said these words very convincingly.

Zhu Zhi has accepted Ye Shengwan's gentleness for a long time, and almost forgot that Ye Shengwan doesn't like to laugh very often, and it is easy to make people think that he is angry.

Zhu Zhi had no choice but to follow Ye Shengwan's wishes.

"Okay." Zhu Zhi pouted.

Ye Shengwan took him into his arms and kissed him lightly.

"Groom up before you go." Ye Shengwan pinched the face in front of him, "You should be thankful that you have an important event recently, I can't do anything to you."

Zhu Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled provocatively, okay, go alone.

On the way, Zhu Zhi received a call from an unfamiliar number, and Zhu Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Although she was well prepared and confident that she could win the Space Award this time, she was still in a trance when she was really close to that possibility.

Zhu Zhi picked it up, and finally took the initiative to tentatively "Hello".

"Hello, we are the judging team of the Space Awards," came a gentle female voice, "Please ensure that the following conversation is kept strictly confidential."

Zhu Zhi looked at the driver in front of him, turned down the media volume on his mobile phone, sat down a little, and replied, "Okay."

"It's a great honor to inform you that your work "Not Too Late" is one of the winning works of this year's Space Awards, congratulations."

Zhu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Thank you."

After the announcement, the other party's voice was no longer so formal, saying: "Prepare your acceptance speech well, and look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

Zhu Zhi responded.

When we arrived at the hotel, there were already two familiar faces.One of them was also nominated last year, he was considered a newcomer, and he came alone. Zhu Zhi greeted him from a distance, and the other was a senior, because the frequency of publishing books was very low. In the publishing industry in [-], it became more and more difficult to make splashes, so not many people in the younger generation knew him.

Zhu Zhi sat down beside the senior and poured himself a cup of tea.

The senior's wife took the initiative to exchange greetings, and Zhu Zhi answered the conversation lightly.

The topic was brought up one after another, and the number of people gradually increased. Zhu Zhi raised his head and glanced at the people present.The nomination list has not been announced on the Internet yet, and Zhu Zhi is not sure whether Zhong Xiu will come.

Zhu Zhi gave a "tsk" in his heart, and was thinking that if Zhong Xiu didn't even get nominated this time, the two bets should be voided, otherwise it would be too shocking. field.

Zhu Zhi glanced at the two of them, and sent Ye Shengwan a message: I hate it.

There happened to be two vacant seats beside her at this time, so Zhong Xiu took Zhang Qi to sit beside her logically.

Zhong Xiu smiled and said, "Good evening, why are you alone?"

Zhu Zhi ignored this sentence and said: "The next table is more empty, which is more suitable for your big Buddha, so you don't come to join me."

"I insist on coming." After Zhong Xiu answered, she turned her head to say hello to the people at the same table, and introduced Zhang Qi by the way.

In this kind of occasion, compared to Zhu Zhi, Zhong Xiu is more suitable and easier to play like a fish in water. Everyone has different talents, and the communication aspect is really Zhong Xiu's home field.

Zhu Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

She didn't envy Zhong Xiu's ability, but only envied Zhong Xiu's ability to introduce lovers, but she couldn't.But what Ye Shengwan said actually makes sense. Ye Shengwan's work is far from the text. It's only because Ye Shengwan didn't write recipes, otherwise it could have something to do with it.

"You drink tea?" Zhong Xiu said, "It smells like flowers."

"No?" Zhu Zhi heard the words and looked at the people around him.

"Of course you have to drink to have fun at a time like this." Zhong Xiu still had that smiling face, reaching out for Zhu Zhi to be poured with red wine.

The older writer saw it and said: "A young man is a young man, but I have quit drinking for many years, so I won't drink with you."

"It's okay." Zhong Xiu answered.

Zhu Zhi watched Zhong Xiu raise his wine glass to her, and then picked up hers, and the two nodded without touching each other.

Before the dinner officially started, Zhu Zhi looked down at his phone, and Ye Shengwan had already replied, "What's the matter?".

【Zhizhi is not a mouse: what did you say. 】

[None: Angry?Why? 】

【Zhizhi is not a mouse: scare you, wait for me to go back. 】

Seeing Ye Shengwan replying with the word "OK", Zhu Zhi put down his phone with a smile on his face.

"Are you Zhu Zhi?" A man wearing glasses looked at Zhu Zhi and asked, seeing Zhu Zhi nodded, a little embarrassed, but then said, "I'm a little curious. It's been a few months and you're not going to reply?"

Zhu Zhi responded calmly, "I'm going to reply."

The man was very sensitive, he was surprised for a moment, and said, "You mean at the awards ceremony, so you..."

"No," Zhu Zhi interrupted him. At this time, it should not matter to find some excuses to keep secret, "It's just that the matter has been fermented for so long, and it's really time to reply. I also think it's not good to keep procrastinating, especially if you are so Let’s talk about it, so let’s wait a few days. How do you look at your eyes, it feels like I must have won the space award?”

The man was a little cautious: "Anyway, it must not be me, I feel that the seniors are very powerful."

The next topic, Zhu Zhi, has no interest in participating, it is nothing more than modesty of all parties.

Zhong Xiu didn't know what she was whispering to Zhang Qi, then turned to Zhu Zhi and said, "What's the probability?"

Zhu Zhi was actually not sure what Zhong Xiu was referring to, and it was not easy to ask in detail on this occasion, so she responded pretty well, "50.00%."

Zhong Xiu was noncommittal when he heard the words, and smiled and said, "It will be revealed tomorrow night."

"uh-huh."

The author has something to say:

To be honest this time, it's really almost over.
