I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 33: Secrecy leads to success, disclosure leads to failure (Happy New Year everyone!)
There are two English classes on Monday morning, and International Trade Class 1 and 2 attend together.

As soon as Li Xu, Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang walked into the classroom, many people looked at them curiously, as if they were looking at something new.

Li Xu seemed not to notice and sat down in the back row with Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang as usual.

As soon as the first class was over, Fu Linlin, Jiang Jingni, Lu Fang and other girls walked towards Li Xu together.

"Li Xu, you hid it well enough. You wrote such a popular novel on the Internet without making any noise." Fu Linlin said with a slightly surprised smile.

"Yes, who would have thought that there is a great writer hidden in our class." Jiang Jingni also said with a smile.

"I just wrote it for fun with the idea of ​​giving it a try. I didn't expect it to become popular, so how could I dare to publicize it?" Li Xu said with a calm expression and a smile.

"No wonder you refused to take a part-time job when I introduced you to one. It turns out you're already a famous writer." Guan Jiayu also came over, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"I'm just lucky that my novel became popular, otherwise I would definitely ask you, the student council member, for help." Li Xu said half-jokingly.

He had a good impression of Guan Jiayu. After all, when someone is willing to help you, whether you need it or not, that kind of kindness is rare.

"You are too modest. I have also read the book "Lord of Mysteries" written by you. It is not written by luck. You are really talented." Jiang Jingni's tone was full of admiration.

"Great writer, you earn so much money, shouldn't you treat us to a meal to show your appreciation?" Lu Fang interrupted with a smile.

Li Xu glanced at her, not understanding how she could have the nerve to say that.

Although he didn't know who among the girls was gossiping about him behind his back, he knew who was the most gossipy in the class.

There is no one more gossipy than Lu Fang.

However, Li Xu only complained in his heart and did not show it on the surface.

"It's fine to treat you, but you have to wait until my royalties arrive. I haven't received a penny yet."

"Then when can you get your royalties?" Lu Fang asked again.

"It'll have to be next month at the latest, maybe after the 15th of next month."

In fact, the reward income for October will be credited to your account on the 10th of this month.

Li Xu simply didn't want to treat Lu Fang and the others to dinner. It would have been fine if they had just gossiped about him behind his back, but he even wanted him to treat them. What a joke!
Fu Linlin, Jiang Jingni and several other girls surrounded Li Xu and talked non-stop until the bell rang, then they all returned to their seats.

After class in the morning, Li Xu, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu and others left the classroom together. As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, his cell phone rang.

After answering the phone and chatting for a few minutes, Li Xu said to Xu Haoyang and the others, "You guys go first."

"What's wrong, Brother Xu? Who's looking for you?" Xu Haoyang asked curiously.

"It's our assistant director. He said he has something to talk to me about." Li Xu said with a sigh.

After parting with Xu Haoyang and the others, Li Xu came to the library near the north gate of the school and saw Li Yajie standing at the door of the library from a distance.

I have to say that this senior is really outstanding in terms of figure and temperament.

She is tall, with a slim waist, long legs and a standard swan neck. Just standing there, she has a unique temperament.

"Senior, what do you want to talk to me about?" Li Xu walked up to Li Yajie.

Li Yajie first looked him up and down, then said with a smile, "I heard that you wrote a novel online, and it's quite popular?"

"Senior, you know it too?" Li Xu nodded.

He had guessed long ago that Li Yajie must have come to him because of the novel.

"You always skip classes to go to the Internet cafe just to write novels? Then why didn't you tell me?" Li Yajie asked with some confusion.

Li Xu was silent for a few seconds. Instead of saying some perfunctory words like he did to Linlin and the others, he said seriously:
"Senior, if I told you at that time that the novel I wrote would definitely be a hit, would you believe it?"

Seeing Li Yajie hesitate and remain silent, Li Xu smiled and continued, "Don't say you won't believe it, I can't guarantee that the novel will be a hit." "As the saying goes, secrecy leads to success, while disclosure leads to failure."

"However, if the novel really doesn't become popular, I will stop in time."

After listening to this, Li Yajie looked Li Xu up and down again, as if she was getting to know him all over again. "I didn't realize you're quite mature. Most guys who just entered college don't have such a broad mindset."

Li Xu just smiled and didn't respond.

He has loved to think about things since he was a child, and his ideas are different from those of ordinary people.

Li Yajie then asked, "Your novel is so popular online, there should be a chance for it to be published, right?"

Li Xu nodded. "A publishing house in Taiwan has already contacted me, but the terms haven't been agreed upon yet."

Li Yajie glanced at him with some surprise, then smiled and said, "So, your novel will be published soon? It seems our school is about to produce another famous writer."

In this era, in the eyes of most people, only those who have published physical books can be considered writers. Otherwise, no matter how popular your book is online, it will be difficult to convince people.

Li Yajie continued, "When your novel is published, could you please give me a sample copy so I can keep it as a souvenir?

This way I can brag to others that I have a classmate who is a famous writer."

She said the last sentence in a joking tone.

"Of course no problem. Not only will I give you a book, I will also write in the book that this is a gift to our most beautiful, kind, beautiful, generous, lovely and outstanding senior sister Li Yajie." Li Xu also smiled and made a joke.

Li Yajie couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this. "I thought you were a bit of a loner, but I didn't expect you to be quite good at coaxing people."

After suppressing her smile, she turned and said seriously:
“It’s a good thing that you can make money by writing novels and publish books, which proves that you are better than most people.

But when it comes to studying, you'd better not give up completely. At least get your diploma. You may not need it in the future, but it's better than nothing."

Li Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Senior sister, don't worry, I will definitely ask for the diploma, otherwise the tuition will be in vain."

He had thought about dropping out of school and using the Honor Magic 6 Pro to make money.

But after careful consideration, I gave up the idea.

First, money can be earned slowly. With the Honor Magic 6 Pro, he will never be short of money in the future. However, college life only comes once, and if you miss it, you may miss it completely.

Second, the identity of a college student is preferential, which is more conducive to expanding his interpersonal relationships and obtaining some policy support.

In this society, you can't get anywhere without money, but money alone is far from enough.

For people without status or background, having too much money may very well be a sin.

A video Li Xu saw in the sub-album marked "Other" made him feel a chill down his spine.

No wonder the show "Warm Man" says that for people without background, playing low-key and making a fortune in silence is seeking death.

You are rich and famous, so others will be a little hesitant when they want to touch you.

Having money but no fame is like a child holding gold in a busy market.

……

　True caution is to have a good balance between relaxation and tension, to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, rather than being like a thief on guard, worrying about this and that all day long and making yourself nervous.

　　Every time the protagonist plays with his mobile phone, it is after turning off the lights and going to bed, with a mosquito net and quilt in the way. His roommate thinks he is playing with his MP4. I have described all of these in detail.

　　There are also people who say that some people rent a house, some drop out of school, and go to a rental house every day to write books, not letting anyone see them. Isn’t that even more abnormal?
　　The protagonist was revising manuscripts in the Internet cafe lobby, passing books from shelf to shelf in the dormitory, and giving guidance to classmates who were also writing novels. In fact, he was creating a chain of evidence to prove that he wrote the novel.
