Now that we are reborn, who still wants to be an honest person?

Chapter 124 Fang Yuru still has the nerve to ask, what is the meaning of family

The book club officially begins.

Ding Ziqing, the guest host, walked to the front, took the microphone and said:
"Hello everyone, our book friends. Our protagonist today, Teacher Lao Shi, will be here soon. He is a low-key teacher and is still a student."

"We agreed on this when we contacted each other before."

“You are not allowed to take photos on site.”

"But after the book club meeting is over, anyone who wants to take a photo can do so then."

"Now, welcome our honest teacher."

There was a burst of discussion below.

They also stretched their necks to look at the small room next to them. Everyone was curious about what kind of person that honest man was.

Wait until you see a handsome young man walking out from inside.

Those who didn't know in advance were confused at this moment.

So young?

Is this an honest person?
The writer who wrote the tomb-raiding theme "Ghost Blows Out the Light"?

In many people's minds, someone who can write a novel like "Ghost Blows Out the Light" must be someone with rich life experience, and may even have some special experiences.

Who would have thought.

It turned out to be such a young man.

Xu Shiyuan, who was sitting in the first row, was also confused.

Is Fang Zhou an honest man?
But she soon understood why Luo Yihe had reminded her several times before not to be disappointed.

So that's the case.

Xu Shiyuan also reacted.

Why does Luo Yihe know so much about honest people?

Moreover, she was able to easily get the admission tickets, which were so hard to get, and two at once.

She had previously distributed admission tickets in the book club circle.

It also attracted the envy of many people.

Looking at Fang Zhou who was sitting in front of her, Xu Shiyuan had a complicated look in her eyes.

No wonder.

He wants to create a novel website.

It turns out that they are professionally matched!

Although she already knew the truth, it still felt a bit magical to Xu Shiyuan.

And Xu Shiyuan could also hear the whispers beside them.

Especially some young women.

Everyone is discussing how cool this Ark is.

With their talent and good looks, there is no doubt that all the women present today will become loyal fans in the future.

Fang Zhou sat in the middle seat.

Glancing down.

Seeing everyone talking about it, and many people looking at him with their eyes shining, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help touching his nose.

This little action.

It even made many people below burst into laughter.

However, the organizers were also worried that Fang Zhou was too young to handle such a situation, so they invited Li Shipeng to help calm the situation.

Ding Ziqing interacted with the book friends below.

Let Li Shipeng warm up the stage:

"I heard that Professor Li and the honest man knew each other a long time ago."

“I don’t know what the opportunity is.”

"Let Professor Li and the honest man meet."

"Also, after you met the honest man, what are your thoughts and opinions on him?"

Fang Zhou couldn't help but glance at Ding Ziqing.

These people are really good at telling lies with their eyes open. Old man Li and I know each other. Didn’t you introduce us to each other?
However, he received a teasing look from Ding Ziqing.

Li Shipeng is an old driver.

It's natural to take over the topic:
"Isn't our honest man very young, quite beyond everyone's expectation?"

See people responding below.

Li Shipeng continued:

"To be honest, I was also surprised when I first saw him. That was before the first volume of his Ghost Blows Out the Light was released."

"When he serialized it online."

"In fact, I had already noticed this young man, but of course I didn't know he was young at the time."

"At the time, I just felt that this person's writing about tomb raiding was so good."

"I'm engaged in the study of ancient documents and folklore."

"A lot of what he wrote was very close to geographical differences and facts, and it was obvious that he had done detailed research and research."

"..."

“Later, we communicated more.”

"He suddenly said he had thought of a TV script and had some ideas, and he discussed a lot with me."

“Maybe most people know this TV series, it’s ‘Yun Si’.”

hum.

Although it was on the poster, Li Shipeng's mention of it again still caused murmurs among the people present.

"He wrote the script himself and invested in it himself."

"It can be said."

"This is the most creative young person I've ever met. He may not be the most imaginative, but he is definitely the most daring to act."

"Now, he is a freshman at Sujing Normal University."

"You filled it out at my invitation, I guess."

“It’s hard to imagine, right?”

"Here, I would like to welcome the honest man to join us and thank him for his trust in our school."

"His future will definitely be even broader and more exciting..."

Comrade Lao Li didn't give a long speech.

The speech was over after about ten minutes.

After Li Shipeng finished speaking, it was finally Fang Zhou's turn to speak.

Although it was his first time to participate in such an event, Fang Zhou was not at all nervous.

Anyway, this is a novel book club meeting, not an academic discussion. There is no right or wrong, and Fang Zhou has the final say on all right and wrong.

It's just a bunch of nonsense.

But that's the case.

It makes the following ones feel more interesting.

While Fang Zhou was speaking, his eyes occasionally glanced at the last three people. He was a little surprised at how Fang Yuru knew about this meeting and actually came to attend it.

For her.

This should be boring.

Fang Zhou spoke for about half an hour, starting from the initial idea of writing this book, some sources of inspiration, and then talked about some of the subsequent general settings and ideas.

Wait for Fang Ark to finish speaking.

The main part is over.

There is also an interactive session below for book lovers to ask questions.

The first person to get the chance was a girl in her twenties wearing glasses, who looked a little excited.

After getting the microphone, he quickly said:

"Hello, Mr. Honest, I am your fan."

“I really like your work.”

"I just heard Professor Li say that you're a freshman at Normal University. Actually, I'm a senior at Nandong University, in the Literature Club. My name is Qingmu, so we should be neighbors."

"Excuse me, are you the Ark classmate?"

"What I want to ask is about the recent campus network incident. I wonder if those rumors are true."

Hear this.

Those who knew about recent events smiled knowingly.

He also looked at Fang Zhou with great interest, a gossipy look on his face.

Fang Zhou felt a little emotional, thinking about what distance creates beauty. This senior from South China University of Technology was very polite to him.

If it were those grandsons from Normal University.

It's definitely different.

Even if their identities were exposed, they would at most say:

"Hey, this guy is also a writer, what a lucky guy."

Fang Zhou picked up the microphone and looked at Qing Mu.

Xiaoxiao said:

"I thought Senior Sister would ask about something related to the novel, but I didn't expect her to be interested in gossip."

"Okay, just friends chatting."

"Since someone is interested in this topic, I'll just talk about it."

"I guess you saw Luo Yihe and Tang Tang."

"Let me explain."

"Me, Luo Yihe, and Tang Tang all graduated from Nanwu No. 3 Middle School. Luo Yihe was a year ahead of us, and she was the goddess of our middle school back then."

“A lot of boys like it.”

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at. In fact, I wrote her a love letter."

"Maybe it was because I helped her with some small favors in high school, and she was grateful, so that's why she sent me the milk tea."

"Of course, there is a possibility."

"After looking around in Sujing, I found that the original junior was more charming."

Hahaha……

There was a burst of laughter below.

Fang Zhou also smiled and continued:
"As for classmate Tang Tang..."

"She was my high school classmate, in the same class, and we sat at the same table."

"In fact, I didn't know it at first, but the chubby female classmate would sneak over in the morning and clean my desk before I arrived."

“That was discovered later.”

"Then one time other students bullied her and I helped her."

"So to say."

"I am also a good student who is willing to help others."

"Okay, just kidding. Actually, I wasn't a good student in high school. I was considered a troublemaker at school, the kind that gave both teachers and the school a headache."

"Because of that incident, Tang Tang and I have a better relationship."

"What a coincidence! She and I got the same score on the college entrance exam."

"Because Professor Li invited me before."

“I thought if I had to perform exceptionally well, I would choose Normal University.”

"When the results came out, we found that our scores were similar, so we applied to the Normal University together."

"At the time, I thought that if we were admitted, we would go to the same university together. We would be familiar with each other anyway. If not, we could repeat a year together so that we would have a companion."

"Fortunately, we were lucky enough to get into the Normal University together."

"Maybe it's because we all know each other well."

"And forget about school discipline."

"Out of curiosity, knowing I was going online at night, Tang Tang foolishly climbed over the fence in the middle of the night to look for me at the internet cafe, and was even caught."

Hearing this, the people below couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The Ark is young.

Now when we talk about these youthful feelings, everyone likes to listen.

Moreover, there are only about a hundred people in this book club today, and it is not a serious activity. Now that their favorite author talks about some private things in life, it brings them closer to these people.

It feels more like "one of us".

Qing Mu just asked.

Let’s communicate with each other.

I already have a general idea of what happened recently.

Many people looked back and realized that the two incredibly beautiful girls were the heroines of the story.

Besides, Fang Zhou is so handsome, and the handsome men and beautiful women are also pleasing to the eye.

Qing Mu knew the answer.

Sit down with a smile.

Eyes sparkling.

I feel that this story is so wonderful, even more interesting than the plot of a novel.

Then several more people stood up to ask questions.

Fang Zhou also answered.

Look at the time, it's almost noon.

Ding Ziqing picked up the microphone and said:

"It's almost time. I have one last question. I wonder who wants to ask it."

There are still many people raising their hands below.

Ding Ziqing swept around.

Seeing Fang Yuru, who was sitting at the back, also raised her hand, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He glanced at Fang Zhou and called on Fang Yuru to ask a question.

"That lady."

"You get to ask the last question."

Everyone turned around and looked behind them, and it was the beautiful woman whose identity everyone was guessing.

Fang Yuru picked up the microphone that was passed to her.

Look towards the Ark.

He slowly spoke:
"I want to ask."

"What was your original intention in writing the novel?"

"You were in your third year of high school, and you had no financial pressure and had never been exposed to it before. Why did you suddenly want to write a novel?"

Hear this.

Many people are curious.

Judging from the tone, it seems that this person is quite familiar with the honest man?
Fang Zhou looked at Fang Yuru, wondering what she wanted to do today or what she wanted to know.

But since she wanted to ask.

Then... Fang Zhou thought for a moment and said:
"When I was in my senior year of high school, I encountered some things and was in a confused stage."

“I don’t understand the value of my existence.”

"do not know either."

“What is the meaning of family?”

"Because my father is a live-in son-in-law, he has little presence at home. Even if he tries hard to maintain his status, he is just given a nice guy card."

“That’s what I was thinking about at the time.”

"If I were anything like him."

"Will it be the same ending?"

"Sometimes thoughts are like axes. When you think of something, you will get stuck in a rut and try to find an answer."

"I suddenly had a sudden thought and wanted to see if I could support myself with my own abilities."

“So at that time.”

"Moved out of the house and lived outside."

"So, there was actually financial pressure at that time."

“That means you won’t have any other ability to make money.”

"After much thought."

“I thought of writing as a way to do this.”

"Maybe I think this way because of my dad's influence."

"He was also a writer, and was a bit famous in Nanwu. Because of his indulgence, I secretly read a lot of idle books when I was young."

"Of course, this kind of thing seemed to the rest of the family at the time."

"It's not a proper job."

Speaking of which.

Fang Zhou looked at Fang Yuru.

If you want to ask, then so be it.

I hope everyone can live in peace. Why do you have to care about these things at this time?

Fang Yuru's body swayed. Every word Fang Zhou said was like a critical blow to her, making her feel suffocated.

He lowered his head slightly, and the brim of his hat just blocked other people's inquiring gazes.

Fang Ark continued:

"I actually submitted quite a lot of articles at that time, but they were all short stories. My initial goal was to earn royalties."

"this matter."

"Editor Ding must have deeply understood this."

"After I submitted the manuscript, Editor Ding contacted me."

"My first words."

"What is the standard for remuneration for our magazine?"

"Later, luckily, my grades were good enough to support myself, so I started thinking about writing a novel. I thought about some of the bizarre stories I read when I was a kid, and that's when I came up with the idea of writing 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'."

After listening to Fang Zhou's words.

Someone then asked:
"Do you know the answer you want?"

Fang Zhou smiled.

He seemed to no longer care and said:

"There's no answer to this kind of thing."

"Just like the lyrics... well, like the saying goes: Those who can't have it are always in turmoil, while those who are favored are fearless."

"I understood it later."

“It doesn’t really matter whether there’s an answer or not.”

"Even though I fought, skipped classes, and just messed around at school every day, many people looked down on me, thinking I was just a rich kid bullying others."

"But there's still a silly guy who secretly helps me clean the table every day."

"Even if the teacher gives up, no one else cares."

"There was also a guy who pretended to be a stranger and secretly added my Penguin account. He would secretly find opportunities to go online every month just to chat with me and cheer me up."

Wow~~~~
There was a sudden burst of applause from below.

Everyone guessed who Fang Zhou was talking about. This plot, which is even more novel than a novel, is truly amazing.

Tang Tang and Luo Yihe's faces flushed slightly, and they couldn't help but look at each other across Fang Yuru.

They both seemed to be saying:
"It's you!"

Tang Tang only found out at this time.

Luo Yihe didn't start paying attention to her until she and Fang Zhou went to college.

Instead, when Luo Yihe just started college, he had already secretly added Fang Zhou's contact information and encouraged him.

"But I'm not bad either."

"I've been helping him clean his desk since we became deskmates in our senior year of high school."

It was very strange that the silly classmate Tang Tang actually had a strange desire to win over the question of "who is better at the Ark".

The people below were very lively.

Fang Yuru had already sat down, with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking about.

At the end, Ding Ziqing gave each person a copy of the second volume of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", and they could ask Fang Zhou to sign it.

Although Xu Shiyuan felt confused about what happened today.

But a signature is definitely required.

And she was the first one to rush forward.

When she arrived in front of Fang Zhou, Xu Shiyuan looked at him with complicated eyes, and it was unclear what her attitude towards him was.

But I still couldn't help but say:

"I really didn't expect that you are such an honest person."

Fang Zhou rolled his eyes:
“There are so many things you didn’t expect.”

last row.

Tang Tang held the book and looked at Fang Yuru hesitantly.

She naturally saw Fang Yuru's emotions just now and knew that Fang Yuru was upset, but she didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

This kind of thing never happened in her family.

Luo Yihe took Fang Yuru's hand and said:
"Auntie, let's go up. It's not like anyone can't ask for an autograph. Is it a waste of time?"

Tang Tang looked at Luo Yihe with admiration.

This kind of thing.

She really can't do it.

The three of them came to Fang Zhou together.

Luo Yihe quietly fell back a bit and chatted with Tang Tang.

Let Fang Yuru be alone in front.

At the table.

Fang Zhou smiled and said:

"Mom, why are you here?"

"There were so many people just now that I didn't have time to greet you."

Fang Yuru looked at Fang Zhou intently.

Although Fang Zhou had a smile on his face, Fang Yuru felt his resistance when she heard this formal greeting.

Fang Yuru suddenly whispered:
"sorry."

Fang Zhou paused.

Then he signed his pen name on the book, handed it to Fang Yuru, and said nothing more.

After the book club meeting ended, someone wanted to take a photo with Fang Zhou.

Everyone in the Ark wore a mask.

offstage.

Luo Yihe still stayed with Fang Yuru.

Looking at Fang Zhou who was surrounded by people, Fang Yuru was in a daze. Luo Yihe said:
"Auntie, you don't really understand the Ark."

Hear this.

Fang Yuru turned around in surprise.

Although what happened just now made her feel shaken.

But after all, he is the leader of a multi-billion company, and he can still adjust his mentality quickly in public.

But this girl seemed to be able to see through what I was thinking.

But it's not offensive.

Moreover, Luo Yihe's words touched Fang Yuru's heart.

In fact, since her divorce, she felt that she didn't understand Fang Ark at all. She didn't want to understand him before, and later she didn't have the chance.

Now she wants to change all that.

For this reason, my previous competitive spirit in my career has disappeared.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Sujing on his own.

"you……"

"Do you know anything about the Ark?"

Fang Yuru asked cautiously.

She knew that although this girl was only a sophomore, she looked very mature and her personality was somewhat similar to Fang Ark's current one.

Way of doing things.

There was an inexplicable feeling that there was the shadow of the Ark.

Luo Yihe pointed to the front and said:

"Let's talk about it later."

"The book club isn't over yet."

Many people are reluctant to let go, but it will eventually end.

After most people left, Li Shipeng wanted to talk to Fang Zhou about the school matter he had mentioned earlier.

But Ark had other plans.

Say hello to Li Shipeng.

Turned around and went to find He Qin.

In the corridor outside the conference hall.

He Qin looked at Fang Zhou, wondering why he was looking for her so mysteriously.

Fang Zhou just found her and said he had something to discuss.

And bring yourself out.

"Editor-in-Chief He, have you ever felt bored working in a publishing house for so many years? Have you ever thought about changing your work environment?"

He Qin was stunned.

I didn't expect Fang Zhou to talk to me about this.

And the opening is so direct, is he planning to dig himself up?
But he doesn't seem to need himself!

Fang Zhou did intend to poach He Qin.

As he was preparing to establish Qihang Chinese Network, Fang Zhou was considering who to find to help manage the company.

This is a literary website, which requires both management and professional skills. After thinking about it, He Qin's figure appeared in Fang Zhou's mind.

In terms of personal ability, He Qin is needless to say.

After all, he has been the editor-in-chief of Jiangnan People's Publishing House for so many years, and his ability is unquestionable.

And have management experience.

Seeing He Qin was surprised.

Fang Zhou said seriously:
"I founded Qihang Chinese Website, which is dedicated to online literature."

"Of course, compared to traditional literature, online literature may seem more materialistic and more directly linked to money."

“There are quite a few online novel websites now.”

"But in my opinion, they don't have the scale yet and haven't figured out their profit model yet."

“Many of them are free.”

"I have some ideas of my own."

"That's why I set up an online novel website. Now I'm in need of someone to run it. I wonder if Editor-in-Chief He is interested."

"In terms of income, it's definitely better than what Chief Editor He had before."

"I don't know what Mr. He's previous income was."

He Qin was stunned.
I didn't expect Fang Zhou to just ask.

Now, they have entered the interview stage, which makes He Qin feel a little amused and helpless.

I never thought about changing jobs before.

After all, she likes this job very much and it pays well. Now she has a stable family and needs a stable income to support it.

But what about Fang Zhou?

It still made her feel interesting.

Then Fang Zhou said:

"My income is OK now, about 300,000 to 400,000 yuan a year."

"Since Mr. Fang wants me to work with you, I wonder what kind of conditions you can offer me. You know, I'm not young anymore, so don't make empty promises to me."

Fang Zhou smiled.

The situation in front of me seems somewhat familiar.

He said with emotion:
"This scene now reminds me of Chen Jing."

Chen Jing?

He Qin was slightly stunned.

Thinking of the general manager of Qihang Media, she seemed to be Chen Jing. And I heard that Chen Jing had good conditions at that time, but I don’t know how she was fooled by Fang Zhou to follow him.

As a rising star in the film and television industry, many people are paying attention to Qihang Media.

Not to mention the previously hugely successful "Cloud Silk".

It is said.

Qihang Media acted quickly.

Several new projects have been launched now.

A TV series, a movie, and a variety show is also in production.

Everyone is waiting to see whether Qihang’s success is just a flash in the pan or a rising star.

As the manager of Qihang Media, Chen Jing is naturally the focus of many people.

It is said that some people laughed at Chen Jing at first.

but now.

Chen Jing became the object of envy of many people.
