The surveillance video showed that after Jiang Baiyan walked into the study, he first walked around casually, like an ordinary guest, curiously looking at the scenery and decorations. Then, like most people, he became curious about the bookshelf.
The simple bookshelf has two large rows, one row is reference books, all kinds of books. He exclaimed twice and looked at the other row.
There are not many books in this row. There are two layers used for decoration, and the other layers are all novels she has written, namely: "White Cat Detective", "Hide and Seek Children", "Devil Doctor", "Rose, Gold and Killer".
Among them, "White Cat Detective" has a total of 16 volumes, which is the largest number of volumes at present.
He did not even look at "Hide and Seek" in which he had acted, and stood in front of the white cat row for a long time. Then, he reached out and took out the folder at the edge.
There was a note on the book in the folder, which read "White Cat". Her manuscripts were stored inside.
Jiang Baiyan had a clear goal. He directly opened the folder and counted to volume thirteen.
The manuscript of "Pudding and Gem".
He looked around cautiously for a moment, making sure that she was not nearby. Then he took out a note from his trouser pocket, read it silently for
a while, clipped it into the book, and then stuffed the folder back into place as if nothing had happened. Jian Jing paused the surveillance, stood up, took the folder, found the note, and pondered for a moment.
She had written "White Cat Detective" in both worlds, there is no doubt about that. According to her memory, the contents of volumes 1-9 are almost the same. The only difference is that this world has been edited and changed, while her original one is the first draft.
After finishing the ninth volume, she stopped writing because of the high school entrance examination and did not write any more. Jian Jing in this world completed the following volumes 10-16.
The "Pudding and Gemstones" that Jiang Baiyan was particularly concerned about was volume 13, but she had no memory of it.
As for the note. Jian
Jing looked down and saw that it was a yellowed note with a simple sketch of a cat on it. It was not pretty, nor was it crude. It was just an ordinary cartoon.
Why did Jiang Baiyan put this note here? Is it related to the story?
But "Pudding and Gemstones" is about a gem theft case.
An emerald gemstone that a jewelry merchant bought for a large sum of money went missing. After calling the police, they searched everywhere and found several suspects, but after investigation, no trace of the gemstone was found.
Just when the police were at a loss, someone reported that the thief was the owner of a grocery store on the next street.
The police were very surprised, but when they went to the grocery store, they found the lost gems in the place where the candies were placed, together with many gem candies. The
grocery store owner was arrested, but his son did not believe it and cried alone in the park.
The white cat passed by, heard his story, and promised to help him find the truth.
What is the truth?
It turned out that there was a wild cat on this street. It was the king of the street and was familiar with every household. The grocery store owner's son often fed the wild cat with dried fish. Every time the cat ate the dried fish, he would eat the best gem candies sold in the store.
Perhaps this made the cat misunderstand that humans like to eat this thing, so one day, the wild cat, who was grateful for the kindness, brought a gem and gave it to the child as a gift.
The child didn't know it was a real gem, and thought it was gem candy, so he stuffed it into the candy jar.
The ending was of course that the boss was acquitted and the son adopted the wild cat.
This wild cat was called Pudding.
However, although "White Cat Detective" is a simple masterpiece, it was published as a youth book, and the reasoning component is not strong, and the story is a bit hypocritical.
Who puts gems on the table without locking the safe? Of course, if I remember correctly, she was 13 years old when she started writing this story, so the requirements cannot be too high.
Here comes the problem.
Why should Jiang Baiyan care about such a story that does not stand up to scrutiny?
No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with him, right?
He is not the son of the grocery store owner.
While he was in doubt, the system appeared quietly: [New mission has been released]
[Mission name: The Secret of Pudding (Long-term)]
[Content description: What secrets can a cute little cat have? This is a long-term mission with no time limit]
[Mission reward: Depends on the completion of the mission]
Jian Jing: “???”
This is the first time that a long-term mission has appeared, and it is such a strange mission. The secret of Pudding? Did he secretly hide the dried fish in the sofa, or did he poop in the closet?
Is it the Pudding in "Pudding and Gems" or the Pudding in Meow Meow Meow?
She had no idea why there was such a strange task.
"System, no hint?"
[This is a long-term task, the host can investigate it slowly]
Okay. Jian Jing put the task aside for the time being and continued with her previous thoughts.
In addition to the manuscript, she also put two things on the bookshelf.
A greeting card from Saint Angel and a poster with a heart drawn on it.
However, Jiang Baiyan glanced at them without looking at them, and went straight to the white cat. It seemed that these two things had nothing to do with him.
That's good.
Jian Jing still remembered the man she met in the cemetery. He was well dressed and his appearance could not be seen, but her body shape and walking posture could not be found to match her memory.
In other words, he should not be someone around her.
She noticed the security guards of the property, and none of them had scars on the back of their hands.
Is he still watching her?
"Rose Gold" has been on the shelves for so long, but there is no movement at all.
I don't understand the perverted thinking.
The "Murder Hospital" episode of the haunted house was officially broadcast in July. Because it is a long episode and it is rarely filmed abroad, it is considered a special episode.
As soon as the trailer was released, many viewers made reservations. When it was broadcast, the number of viewers jumped directly to six digits. The bullet screen was so dense that it was impossible to open it at all.
This is not surprising. The real-life CS in China is all laser bullets. Although it is also very exciting, it is certainly not as good as the real experience brought by live bullets. The immersive environment and the monster fights with real knives and guns are no exaggeration to say that it is explosive.
Everyone is asking when this haunted house will open, and they want to experience it in person.
It has received rave reviews in China and has also caused heated discussions abroad.
The show "Haunted House Adventure" was introduced overseas last year and released on foreign paid websites. This time, it was broadcast simultaneously and was also loved by foreign audiences.
In particular, the last Easter egg password, the audience tried every means to crack it, and finally it was forwarded by a popular blogger, who said the answer: [It is the Virginia password, the key is xclub, super simple]
Everyone ignored the Versailles statement of the great god and became curious about Jian Jing.
Many people asked who she was and whether she was a martial arts star under the review website. The comments related to her accounted for more than half of the total comments.
In other words, her popularity alone exceeded the combined popularity of the other five people.
It was very hateful.
Next are Han Bo and Jiang Baiyan. The former wins favor with bravery, while the latter stands out with her looks. Of course, due to the difference in aesthetics, her fans are still mainly Asian.
Coco follows closely. Her performance was originally good, but unfortunately, people are always afraid of comparison. Compared with Jian Jing, she is slightly inferior in all aspects, and the second place is always unknown.
Zheng Keyan is very popular in China, but very average abroad. Fortunately, beauty is an eternal pass. Although she is not popular, some people still like her looks.
Cao Yu is the worst.
Foreign audiences cannot accurately get the so-called military advisor personality. They advocate personal heroism. Jian Jing was younger, smarter, better at fighting, prettier, and more to their taste.
So, no one was interested in Teacher Cao tonight.
Alas, the adult world is so cruel :(
Back to the topic, as the heat gradually fermented, one day, the system issued a prompt.
[System: The host's fame has achieved a breakthrough, and the limited pool is open for 5 days/time]
Jian Jing: This is too stingy.
From domestic to overseas, only 5 days?
[System: Please maintain the current popularity of the host. If the fame value drops, the original time will be restored]
Before Jian Jing had time to worry, Kang Mucheng mentioned the overseas publication to her.
As early as three years ago, "White Cat Detective" was translated into Japanese and Korean and published. At that time, it also attracted a certain amount of attention in Japan and South Korea, but it did not make much of a splash. "Devil Doctor"
has always been planned, but the excellent translation schedule is too full, so it was postponed until this year.
"We originally planned to put both volumes on the shelves in the second half of the year, but now it seems that the plan has to be changed." Kang Mucheng personally delivered the manuscript to her house. "The first volume has been translated. I will ask them to publish it as soon as possible. It would be best if we could use the popularity of this volume to open up the European and American markets."
Jian Jing flipped through the electronic manuscript and only thought that the cover was very nice, but she basically couldn't understand the content.
"I'll listen to you. I'm fine with anything." She didn't dwell on it.
Kang Mucheng was amused by her instead: "You really aren't nervous at all."
"There's no point in being nervous. Whether the translation is good or not, and whether foreigners will eat it, are not up to me to decide." Jian Jing's life is rich and colorful now. She doesn't have to worry about the publication of Devil 2.
Kang Mucheng sighed deeply, not knowing whether he was relieved or something else: "I feel relieved when you think so. By the way, the script of Rose Gold is already being written. If you have any ideas, please communicate with them in time."
The script again?
Another meeting?
Jian Jing held her forehead and fell headfirst onto the pillow, complaining: "Why are there so many tasks? "Didn't you say you were going on vacation?"
Was there anything wrong? She was busy with various things about Devil May Cry 2 for the first half of the year, then wrote Rose Gold, and filmed a haunted house show. Finally, summer vacation came, and there was a new job?!
Summer vacation!
Kang Mucheng laughed dumbly: "It's okay if I don't do it. I'm just afraid that you won't watch it, and the result will not be satisfactory. After all, it's your work."
She was silent for a moment, and whispered: "That's right."
Seeing her like this, Kang Mucheng felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Then, how about next Monday?"
"Meeting? I don't want to go. Ask the scriptwriter to send me the script." The weather was getting hotter, and Jian Jing went out lazily.
"Vacation." Kang Mucheng smiled, "The work can be almost done this week. As for the script, I can read it anytime with my computer."
Jian Jing sat up straight: "Really vacation? Not the kind of going to participate in some activities and have fun."
Don't doubt it, Kang·Workaholic·General is definitely capable of such a thing.
"No activities." Kang Mucheng pinched his nose and promised, "It's just a pure vacation. It's not like I haven't taken you there before."
Jian Jing was relieved: "Where are we going?"
"What kind of place do you want to go?" he asked.
She thought about it and said tactfully: "A place with fewer people, quieter, not too tiring, suitable for summer."
Kang Mucheng hummed and immediately had an idea: "Remember Si Yingjie?"
A smiling face popped up in Jian Jing's mind, and a voice said: "Little Jingjing, Mucheng is busy, let me teach you to play tennis."
"Remember." The person who originally had an impression must have appeared more than once in her past life.
"He has been in a bad mood recently and wants to invite some friends to go to the island for a few days." Kang Mucheng explained, "What do you think?"
Jian Jing's heart moved slightly.
Si Yingjie is Kang Mucheng's good friend, a very close brother, and she should have met him many times. Maybe, Kang Mucheng can get clues from him about things he is unwilling to say.
"Okay. "She agreed immediately in a natural tone, "I haven't seen Brother Yingjie for a long time."
And that's how it was settled.
