Chapter 263 The Poor Princess (XII)
"No! No need! You don't have to give me the gift back!"
Zou Kai finally realized what he was going through.
He finally realized what a stupid thing his good brother had done.
Even if Gu Qingcheng is a gold digger, as a man who cares about his reputation, there is no way he would ask for the gift he gave back!
If he really did that, not only would the rich second-generations in the circle look down on him, but even ordinary students would think he was stingy and mean, and not like a man.
In this era, although naked marriage has begun to be advocated, there have been no strange stories about raffia or eight-cent dumplings, nor have there been any rich second-generations suing for the return of their money after breaking up.
According to normal thinking, there is basically no reason to ask for a gift back once it is given away!
Ordinary poor students would not do this, let alone Zou Kai who is not short of money and has more face to save?
"I, I really like your return gift!"
Zou Kai knew that this matter must be resolved today, otherwise he would become the laughing stock of the entire S University.
If you don't handle it properly, it will end up on the Internet.
By then, he would have embarrassed himself all over the country!
Zou Kai was indeed quick-witted. He took a few quick steps forward and reached out to take the book.
He didn't even look at it, and pretended to be happy and said, "Thank you! Thank you for the return gift! I, we will still be friends in the future, right?"
At this point, Zou Kai no longer dared to hope to continue pursuing Gu Qingcheng.
He just wants to save his face now.
A gift worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in exchange for a book that costs 26.8 yuan is totally disproportionate.
However, the value of things cannot be measured only by money.
The book that Gu Qingcheng gave was a book she had written herself, and it was signed personally.
The intangible value of this gift is very high! Very high!
Zou Kai tried his best to persuade himself like this, and happily accepted the book, showing enough "gentlemanly demeanor".
The students around him stopped pointing fingers at Zou Kai.
Numb Face: ...The biggest stain on the original owner, and also the turning point in her fall from goddess, was just washed away like that?
What happened to these people's worldviews? Everyone: ...What else could it be?!
Who made Gu Qingcheng so beautiful, so elegant, and a talented woman who could publish a book? The world is determined by the appearance! Beauty is justice!
People who are both beautiful and talented can do whatever they want.
Even if Zou Kai's parents knew about this, they would not think that their son had met a gold digger.
They even began to consider that a girl like Gu Qingcheng was not bad either.
Graduated from a prestigious school, talented and good-looking, and a writer! A true cultured person.
It has to be said that Chinese people still highly respect cultured people.
Even though some nouveau riche say "studying is useless", they still admire those who are truly educated in their hearts.
He even tries every possible way to make himself look like a cultured person.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such an idiom as “fawning on the refined”!
"Of course! We are friends!"
Gu Qingcheng nodded, her eyes were clear and her temperament was pure, even Zou Kai could not feel angry with her.
Friends are just friends. He really doesn't deserve such a talented and pretty girl! ...
The box of sample books that Gu Qingcheng received was slowly sent out.
Her reputation in S University became increasingly famous.
Even the professors who taught them their majors knew that one of their students had published a book and had gained some fame online.
"You are Gu Qingcheng. I read your book. It's very good!"
The professor wasn't just bragging, he really watched it and felt it was really good.
The writing is good and the historical data is detailed, reaching the level of a professional historian.
This person is still his student, an eighteen-year-old child.
How the professor dislikes it.
After meeting and seeing Gu Qingcheng's appearance clearly, the professor was even more amazed.
In this impetuous age, good-looking children, regardless of gender, like to take shortcuts.
Gu Qingcheng can study and write attentively, which is rare! "Take these journals and read them. If you have any experience, you can write a few articles."
Professors love talented people and are willing to support their students.
He took out a dozen newspapers, periodicals, etc., saying that he wanted Gu Qingcheng to "take a look", but in fact he was paving the way for her.
"Okay! Thank you, Professor!"
Gu Qingcheng thanked him respectfully. She still looked cold and noble, but she also had the minimum respect for her teacher! Professor: ...This child is quite interesting.
Proud and confident, if you are a little ugly, people will dislike you.
She just has a good appearance. Even if she is arrogant, she will only make people think she has "personality"! I hope she can always keep this original intention and not go astray by relying on her appearance.
Gu Qingcheng returned to the dormitory and began to read the newspapers, journals, etc. given by the professor.
After reading a few copies, she had some understanding.
Then she started typing away on her newly bought laptop.
Ahem, this notebook is newly bought by her.
A senior student in the Computer Science Department in my junior year "helped" me introduce a reliable store.
I spent half of the money and bought a high-end phone that was 99% new.
Now that Gu Qingcheng has a notebook, she no longer has to go to the electronic reading room.
It is very convenient to study and work.
In three days, Gu Qingcheng wrote two articles.
They are not long, but they show great skill. The key is that they fit the writing style of a certain unit! The professor was very satisfied with them and recommended them.
A week later, both of Gu Qingcheng's articles appeared in the journal.
Then, it was natural for her to join the Provincial Writers Association.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At this time, it was already May! Gu Qingcheng's book "Those Things Between the North and the South" was gaining popularity online.
At the suggestion of the publishing house, she opened a blog.
I often post short articles or conduct historical research.
The account "One Glance to Conquer a City" has gradually gained popularity.
The number of fans exceeded 30,000.
Perhaps for a real star, this number of fans is nothing.
But, for a new writer, it is already a very good record.
Even so, there are still quite a number of "face fans".
There is no way around it. The publishing house packaged Gu Qingcheng as a beautiful writer from the 1990s!
Some people found Gu Qingcheng's Weibo with a questioning and fault-finding attitude.
Then, when I saw some photos of Gu Qingcheng reading and writing, I was amazed.
Damn! What a beauty!
Not false marketing!
In this niche circle of history, word spread from person to person, and everyone came to see the beauty, and Gu Qingcheng's number of fans began to increase.
With 30,000 fans, she is already a little bit out of the circle!
The publishing house was very satisfied, and the editor was urging Gu Qingcheng to release the second book as soon as possible.
I have written about the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but what about the Wei and Jin Dynasties? There is a lot to write about as well.
Gu Qingcheng did not rush to take action. She looked at the calendar. It was May 6th!
That day is really very close.
Gu Qingcheng knew that the power of an individual was really small.
Even though she is a little famous now, she can't prevent the tragedy.
Even if she wrote a post or reported it, no one would believe it!
But, you have to try your best.
Otherwise, Gu Qingcheng really couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
Therefore, starting from May, Gu Qingcheng started to share some common knowledge about earthquake prevention and shock absorption on her account.
She is well-versed in history and would write about the rise and fall of dynasties.
Her "historical" knowledge does not seem to have any specific theme, but if you read it more, you can still summarize the patterns.
For example, in a certain earthquake-prone area, there have been as many as fourteen earthquakes of magnitude 7 or above recorded in history.
It’s not that there are only so many, but that’s all that can be recorded.
There are many more that have not been recorded in history.
After all, information was not well developed in ancient times, and people had little knowledge about earthquakes.
Through Gu Qingcheng’s “popular science”, netizens and fans were surprised to find that the closer to modern times, the more records there are.
There is one almost every twenty or thirty years.
"Oh my god, there are so many?"
"It is estimated that there are many things that have been missed. After all, the conditions in ancient times were limited!"
"…Why write these? Does this writer have a cat biscuit?"
"I suddenly wanted to prepare some emergency kits, just in case something goes wrong, I'd be prepared!"
There were a lot of discussions in the comment section, some were amazed, some were thoughtful, and some were just criticizing and blaming.
I feel that Gu Qingcheng is creating panic and deliberately saying shocking things to attract attention.
After so much discussion, it actually became a hot topic and climbed to the top of the hot searches.
Soon, Monday arrived.
In the afternoon, many people who were working or surfing the Internet received a current affairs news pop-up from Penguin, which shocked the world!
