Chapter 267 Book me a ticket to Jiangcheng immediately. I need to go back early tomorrow morning.
Ji Chen sat down at the computer desk and had just opened WPS and typed a few words when Fan Zhuo, who was still pondering today's plot, looked at him.
"Old Ji, are you finally going to open for business?"
When the people in the dormitory heard Fan Zhuo's words, they were also slightly stunned.
"Fuck, I almost forgot that Lao Ji is also a writer."
"I'm still a willful writer. It took me so long to finish my last novel, and now I'm just starting the second one. If it were me, I would definitely write one every day. After all, I can make a lot of money from one novel."
Yin Hao pushed his glasses and said, "In fact, talent is important in any field. We should not waste our energy on a path that is not suitable for us. But we can also be like a table. If we don't have talent, we can rely on hard work."
Fan Zhuo turned to look at Yin Hao, "Haozi, could you please stop hurting my heart!"
Ji Chen tapped away on the keyboard with both hands and said with a smile, "I'm just writing casually."
Everyone: “…”
He was really just writing casually. After all, the novel he planned to publish today was not long.
The entire article is less than 5,000 words.
It is one of the short stories written by French writer Maupassant.
It's called "My Uncle Jules".
The article roughly tells the story of how Jules spent lavishly in his youth, lost both his money and his life, was regarded as a hooligan, and was kicked out of the house.
When he arrived in America, he made a small fortune, and two years later he became very rich, becoming everyone's "lucky star".
His brother Philip and his family were eager for the return of the wealthy Jules, and his second daughter also found a fiancé. The whole family was very happy and went on a trip abroad to Jersey Island.
However, they met a poor oyster seller on the ship who looked very similar to Jules. Mr. Philip got the information and verification from the captain. Not only did his dream of getting rich come to nothing, his dream of entering the upper class became a bubble, and his second daughter's marriage was also in jeopardy. Finally, the whole family quietly changed to the Saint-Malo ship to return, so as to avoid meeting Jules again and never seeing him again.
When Ji Chen read this novel in his previous life, he didn't have much feeling about it. But it was not until something unexpected happened in his life that he completely understood the meaning of this short film. He was deeply moved by it. Writing it down allowed him to reflect on himself and analyze himself. He also hoped to give his fans some spiritual warmth and redeem the souls and family affections that were gradually drifting away and becoming secular.
Today, when I saw the lonely look on Master and his wife’s faces, I suddenly remembered this article.
In fact, compared to money and material things, he feels that the bond and companionship between people are the most important.
The article was not long, and Ji Chen finished typing it and uploaded it to the website in less than an hour.
After uploading the novel, Ji Chen looked at the time. There was still half an hour before class. After saying hello to Fan Zhuo, he went to bed to take a nap.
At this moment, Fan Zhuo was still sitting in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard. Looking at the accumulated number of 1,800 on the computer, he felt like crying.
When will he be able to write 5,000 words per hour like Ji Chen?
…
Half an hour later.
On Tomato Reading, the news that Nanfeng published a short story was immediately pushed to his fans' reading interface.
Fans have been eagerly looking forward to Nanfeng's new novel.
I clicked on it as soon as I saw the push message.
However, after seeing the name and word count of this novel, many readers couldn't help but start complaining.
"5000? Although it's longer than the last one, it's still too short! The name sounds weird too. Is this what Nanfeng wrote about his uncle?"
"It sounds like a short essay, but I'm not interested in his uncle. I'm more interested in Nanfeng?"
"Hahaha, I don't know about the others, but I know Nan Feng's works must be very short. After all, a book is only 5,000 words. But let's take a look first. I've been waiting for his works for a long time!"
…
Tomato Reading Company.
Office of the Operations Manager.
Li Yang, who also followed Nanfeng, immediately clicked on the novel interface after receiving the push.
The great Nanfeng has finally released a new work!
But before he started reading, he suddenly thought of his good friend Bai Yichen.
This guy is Nanfeng's number one fan!
So he shared the novel link with the other party as soon as possible.
"Old White, friendly reminder, Master Nanfeng has uploaded a new novel."
After leaving the message, Li Yang quickly clicked back to the novel reading interface, sat in the office chair, and began to read carefully.
Office of the CEO.
Bai Yichen had just sat up from the bed in the rest room when the cell phone on the bedside table began to buzz.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand, rubbed his face, then picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and strode out of the rest room.
Open the taskbar on your phone and you will see three push notifications.
One is a Weibo topic about "Cloud Clothing".
The other one was a WeChat message from his good friend Li Yang.
Although he didn't know what message Li Yang sent, Bai Yichen was more interested in the cloud costume.
After all, this is the clothing company that my grandparents stood up to support.
Although he didn't pay much attention to it recently because he was too busy, he couldn't help but feel curious. Why did this company become a hot topic again today?
Without thinking too much, Bai Yichen clicked on the push notification about Yun Duo, walked to the sofa area in the office, sat down, and started browsing.
After browsing for a few minutes, Bai Yicheng was slightly stunned, his face looking quite surprised.
Not only did this company not defraud donations, but it also saved the lives of many children in a timely manner?
The owner of this clothing brand seems to be genuinely doing good deeds.
They were also very thoughtful. After all, they delivered the supplies to the children in poor areas in time before the cold wave hit.
Thinking of this, Bai Yichen looked a little unnatural and inexplicably embarrassed.
He had seen his grandparents stand up to support Yun Duo before, and at that time he was a little suspicious whether the two old people were fooled by Yun Duo's boss.
Now it seems that my thinking was too narrow.
However, he had already agreed with his grandfather and others that he would go back to spend time with them, but there were too many things to do at the company and he was unable to find time to go back.
After finishing his work at the company, he went back to see his parents and also wanted to get to know their friend.
After all, under that kind of public opinion, the two elders would take the initiative to stand up and support them. It can be seen that the boss Yun Duo has a good relationship with them.
Besides, he also likes this kind of low-key and upright people, so it would be nice to get to know them.
Bai Yichen looked at the topic about Yun Duo for a while, then opened WeChat, clicked on Li Yang's dialog box, checked the message and link sent by the other party, and was slightly stunned.
Nanfeng actually uploaded a new novel!
The moment he reacted, Bai Yichen clicked on the link, jumped to the Tomato Reading APP, and started reading.
God knows how long he has been waiting for Nanfeng's new work.
A couple of days ago, I couldn't help but ask Editor-in-Chief Ji to call me to urge me to submit the manuscript. I didn't expect that the new novel would be published today.
This short story is not long.
Only 5,000 words.
It's called "My Uncle Jules" and can be read in a few minutes.
But after Bai Yichen finished reading this short story, the expression on his handsome face suddenly froze!
After a few minutes of silence, he seemed to have made a decision and called his assistant directly: "Book me a ticket to Jiangcheng immediately. I want the earliest flight tomorrow morning!"
