Xiao Qing is here.
This woman is obviously 35 years old, but her eyes and eyebrows have lost all the charm of the beautiful young writer she was in the past. Her pair of dark eyes are surprisingly large and her eyelashes are surprisingly long.
But her outfit surprised Qin Yunchu and the others a little: her golden hair was in big waves, she wore a pair of shiny sunglasses on her hair, and her lip gloss was smooth and attractive, the most greasy and seductive one.
A pink one-shoulder lace T-shirt reveals her delicate collarbone and thin belly button, and under the hot pants are ultra-low-D black stockings.
If she were to wear this outfit in a nightclub, she would be the center of attention, but in the eyes of people like Qin Yunchu, who were used to seeing professional women dressed like this, it could not only be considered unorthodox, but also outrageous.
Having been idle at home for so long, Xiao Qing had become free to do as she pleased. As a woman, she had matured, reaching the age where a mere swing of her waist could make people itch.
"This is the great writer Ruyan, right?" Xiao Qing looked at Liu Ruyan, who was standing at the end of the crowd, with a smile, and kept looking her up and down.
Liu Ruyan nodded gently and said obediently, "Senior."
"I don't deserve to be called a senior. One of your books sells better than ten of mine bundled together." Xiao Qing went over and shook her hand. "Nice to meet you."
Of course, she was being modest, because she has written more than dozens of books.
Gu Yuanzhen took out the note stuck in the book and the manuscript of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" and gave them to Xiao Qing, saying, "Can these prove Gu Long's true identity?"
Xiao Qing just glanced at it and said, "There's usually no motivation to fake this kind of thing because it's not worth much. No one would anticipate you guys coming to see it and go to so much trouble to make these things in advance."
Gu Yuanzhen was immediately hit hard, and He Shiying felt even more complicated.
Before, she had said a lot of bad things about Chen Ya, but now the answer is revealed, Chen Ya is Gu Long, her idol.
She even complained that his idol only earned 5,000 a month.
If there weren't so many people around, she might have just run and banged her head against the wall.
Xiao Qing flipped through the note, a smile appeared on his face, and he said:
"Back then, Gu Long and I were the two biggest cash cows of Guci Publishing House. I never thought he would have such a setback after investing in Jiang Hai. I've never heard of it before. It seems he was hit hard enough, haha!"
Qin Yunchu said, "You have seen Gu Long. Is his real name Chen Ya?"
Xiao Qing's expression suddenly became calm, and he said, "I don't know."
"ah?"
"Gu Long never shows up in public. He's never had a book signing, never went to a premiere of a movie adaptation, and never even attended the publisher's annual meeting. I've only ever met him briefly, through a car window."
Everyone was really surprised when they heard this.
As a writer, Gu Long is quite low-key.
Xiao Qing continued, "It was the publishing house's fifth anniversary party, and the publishing house was serious about inviting him to the party. Xi Wendian drove me to his house to invite him.
"When we got to his house, Xi Wendian went upstairs. I sat in the car waiting, bored, so I rolled down the window. Gu Long and I were both poor at the time, and he lived in a small building. I saw them both coming down the hallway.
"Gu Long is a middle-aged man with greasy hair. I used to imagine that Gu Long was a handsome guy and even had a crush on him, but since then, I no longer believe in online dating."
After she finished speaking, she giggled to herself, but saw puzzled expressions on everyone's faces.
"What's wrong?"
"That's not right..." Qin Yunchu was the first to come to his senses and said, "Sister Qing, when you say middle-aged, how old are you talking about?"
"Around 40 years old, what's wrong?" Xiao Qing asked.
Qin Yunchu took a deep breath and said, "The Gu Long's true form we discovered is only 28 years old this year. It's far from being middle-aged."
Xiao Qing glared, "How is that possible? He's 28 this year, so wouldn't Gu Long have been only around 10 back then?"
Gu Yuanzhen suddenly felt herself standing up again.
"That's right! Chen Ya is definitely not Gu Long!"
Xiao Qing sat on the lounge chair outside the villa, crossed her legs wrapped in black stockings, and said:
"When I was 17 or 18, I was called the youngest beautiful girl writer. If Gu Long was younger than me, the publishing house would definitely hype her up."
It’s confirmed.
However, this time it is a reverse confirmation.
Gu Yuanzhen turned to Liu Ruyan in surprise and asked, "Is it possible that this isn't Chen Ya's personal belonging, but one of his relatives? Is Chen Ya just keeping it for safekeeping?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "The teacher didn't say that."
"Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean he didn't have it," He Shiying said. "Maybe he's deliberately not saying it, just pretending in front of you."
Qin Yunchu also sat down opposite Xiao Qing and said, "Just call and ask Xi Wendian, and you'll know, right?"
Xiao Qing thought for a moment and said, "Yes, it's time to say hello to the old editor."
She took out her cell phone, opened WeChat, and sent a video request directly.
After a while, the screen lit up and a middle-aged man with a kind face appeared on the screen.
"Mr. Xiao, how come you suddenly have time to chat with me?" Xi Wendian asked with a smile on his face.
Xiao Qing said in a crisp voice: "Old Xi, you've been doing great recently. You've been promoted to editor-in-chief. Congratulations!"
"Hey, I should have been promoted long ago if I could bring you and Gu Long out."
Although he said that, the smile on his face was almost overflowing, and he was obviously very proud of this matter.
Xiao Qing immediately got to the point and said, "Let me ask you, what is Gu Long's real name?"
Xi Wendian's expression changed: "Why are you asking this?"
