The publication of this book was fraught with difficulties, but good things come to those who wait. This time, the quality was much better than the first time. Holding the book, Chu Xiang felt as if she were walking on clouds.
"Wow! This book is so beautiful, Chu Xiang, you are the first author I have ever met."
Shen Zhuyu bought a book at a high price and was increasingly surprised as she read it. Chu Xiang was such a good writer; she had never been to Hong Kong, yet she wrote as if she were an old Hong Kong resident.
It is imaginative and the plot is particularly exciting.
Chen Zhuyu couldn't stop watching.
Chu Xiang smiled shyly, "Sister, Sister Zhuyu, I feel like I'm dreaming."
Chu Yu patted her head and smiled affectionately, "The college entrance examination is very important, after all, your education will stay with you for life. Writing should not interfere with your studies. If it takes too much time, then stop and continue writing after you get into university. You have more time in university than in high school, so you can write as much as you want."
Chu Xiang nodded obediently, "Sister, I'll listen to you. I'll write down any inspiration I have, and if I can write it down, I'll write it down after the college entrance exam."
Chen Zhuyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chu Yu. I'll help you supervise her studies and make sure Chu Xiang gets into a school in Beijing. It'll also be more convenient for me to come and see you."
Chu Yu took the book that Shen Zhuyu had bought and told the two of them to go to other Xinhua bookstores to look for copies in stock.
Zhang Ying and Li Miao gathered around.
What are you holding in your hand?
"A book that was just published by Xinhua Bookstore."
"Let me see... Wow, the title is pretty exciting. Let me, your sister, take a look," Zhang Ying said.
Chu Yu didn't refuse and handed the book to her. Zhang Ying couldn't stop reading, and Li Miao also curiously gathered around to look. People from other dormitories came over to borrow books and things, and they also looked at the book.
Within two days, the book had been circulated among several dorm rooms. Once one dorm room finished reading it, it would be lent to the next.
The book is only a little over 100,000 words long and easy to read. Even though college students are busy with their studies, they still need to relax sometimes. By the weekend, the book had already spread throughout the computer science department.
Chu Yu pondered that this novel was indeed quite popular. It was a lighthearted read that didn't require much brainpower, and everyone loved reading it. If it were made into a TV series, it would definitely be a hit.
Following the address on the business card Tao Biyun gave her, Chu Yu mailed a copy of the novel to Tao Biyun. The mailing address was the girls' dormitory at Tsinghua University, and the author was Chu Xiang. Tao Biyun knew immediately that it was from her.
She waited for Tao Biyun to come to her.
There were no classes at Tsinghua University on the weekend, and the students were all studying on campus. Liao Xiaoqiao was a local, so she packed her bags and went home on Friday night.
Liao Xiaoqiao comes from an extraordinary family and has an outstanding appearance. She has been the focus of everyone's attention since she was a child. The Liao family spent a lot of money to finally get her into Tsinghua University.
He thought that his outstanding abilities would allow him to dominate Tsinghua University, but he was unexpectedly overshadowed by Zhou Chuyu.
Liao Xiaoqiao went home and complained, and her best friend Qian Qing comforted her:
"Why are you arguing with that country bumpkin? So what if she's outstanding? Being outstanding doesn't guarantee a good life. What kind of company you get after graduation, what kind of family you marry into, and how much money you make all depend on the support your family provides! Even if she works hard for another 20 years, she'll never reach your starting point."
Qian Qing's words made Liao Xiaoqiao feel a little better.
Liao's mother chimed in, "Qian Qing is right. Why should a family like ours bother with a country girl like her? That girl is so mean. She wouldn't even change her bed when we asked her to, and she talked to your grandmother like that. She has no manners at all. I get a headache just seeing people like that."
Liao's mother looked down on Chu Yu. Liao Xiao Qiao had always been the center of attention since childhood, but when she got to Tsinghua University, she was constantly overshadowed by this country girl.
Liao's mother trained Liao Xiaoqiao in singing and dancing, and after the reform and opening up, she also learned piano and became fluent in English. The money was well spent; Liao Xiaoqiao had a good temperament, but Chu Yu hadn't learned anything, and just standing there made Liao Xiaoqiao look like a background figure.
Liao's mother couldn't swallow this insult, but luckily she got in touch with a distant relative of the Dai family.
I heard that Zhou Yun is asking someone to find a partner for her son. Liao's mother has been busy with this for a week and finally found a beautiful and elegant white dress for Liao Xiaoqiao.
"Do you remember the Dai family? The Dai family I told you about."
Liao Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat. "Is it Dai Donglin that Aunt Xu was talking about?"
"It's him. His mother asked someone to introduce him to a potential partner, requiring the woman to have a respectable family background, a high level of education, and be beautiful. Although our family background is not as good as theirs, marrying and being married are different. Only when the woman marries up can the marriage be happy. You got into Tsinghua University, which is not something anyone can get into. Even if Zhou Yun is picky, she will still give you some face."
Liao Xiaoqiao's heart was pounding. Her parents had always told her that money wasn't important; what mattered was marrying into a powerful family.
The compound where the Dai family lived was not a place they could climb up to. Old Master Dai was also of a high rank and always sat in the front row at major meetings.
No matter how many high-ranking officials there are in Beijing, you can't find many families like this.
Liao Xiaoqiao had met Dai Donglin before. He was handsome and dashing, but also had a somewhat wicked air about him, and he didn't like to talk to anyone.
Girls like this kind of vibe. Dai Donglin doesn't even look at her properly, but Liao Xiaoqiao is quite fond of it.
She was able to go on a blind date with Dai Donglin, and regardless of the outcome, it was still much better than Zhou Chuyu.
"Mom, you're right. I can't put my heart into that kind of country bumpkin. I'll get ready right now, wear a pretty dress, style my hair, and try my best to win him over in one fell swoop."
Seeing that her daughter was on the right track, Liao's mother nodded happily.
"If you can win her over, it will be incredibly lucky. The future of the Liao family will depend on you."
The Liao family's attempt to curry favor with the Dai family was akin to a moon landing for a scam. It was only because Liao's mother frequently flattered Dai's relatives that Xu Tong agreed to help her arrange a blind date with Dai Donglin for her daughter.
Otherwise, it would be virtually impossible for the Liao family to establish a relationship with such a family.
