At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

Zhou Qingtian's mood suddenly became depressed, "Well, I can't write anymore."

"What's the problem? Are you out of inspiration?"

"You can't become a full-time writer just by relying on inspiration. In fact, I've long run out of inspiration for this story I'm writing now. I'm relying purely on my own perseverance, persistence, and the passion that burns my life."

Qin Fan disagreed. "You sound so abstruse. To sum it up, it's just two words: hypocritical."

Zhou Qingtian glared at him. "I'm not being pretentious. I'm in agony. I sit in front of the computer for hours every day, unable to compose a single word. I write and delete, delete and write again. You can't imagine the pain I'm in."

"You call this pain? Isn't that just hypocritical?"

Zhou Qingtian was a little annoyed and angry. "If you say that to me again, I won't chat with you anymore."

"Remember my friend Xiaotian, who also writes novels? He told me that the real pain isn't not being able to write anything, but writing a lot with great joy, uploading it, and then waiting and waiting every day, constantly refreshing the backend, only to find that only one person reads it."

"He thought it was the editor reading it, so he asked a question."

"The editor didn't want to undermine his confidence, so he could only politely tell him that the click was actually his own contribution."

puff!

Zhou Qingtian was amused. "Your friend is really miserable, isn't he?"

"Yeah, it was pretty miserable. He persisted for over 500,000 words, but still few people read it. He decided he wasn't cut out for online writing, so he gave up."

"What happened next? Did Xiaotian write online articles again?" Zhou Qingtian asked.

"Xiaotian is a long-time bookworm. He started reading online novels very early. The first novel he read was called xxxx. It was absolutely amazing. It was a god-like book in his mind. It was very pornographic and violent. It could be said that it opened the door to a new world for him."

"When he later wrote online articles, he was also influenced by that book and always believed that novels without pornography or violence were soulless."

"But the book was discontinued. You have no idea how painful it was for him. He still misses it more than a decade later."

Zhou Qingtian was stunned. "Is that book good? I'll go read it someday."

"I told you, he read it as pornographic fiction, why are you reading it?"

"what?"

Zhou Qingtian couldn't help but look at Qin Fan with contempt. This was the only hobby men like him had.

"You haven't answered me whether Xiaotian continues to write online articles."

"After the first setback, he didn't think about writing novels for a long time. Later, he was in a book shortage every day. Especially after her rise to power, it affected the online literature world. More and more novels began to have single female protagonists to cater to the market."

"Xiaotian loves reading novels with multiple female protagonists. Reality is already annoying enough. If I can't even fantasize about a novel, what's the point? Later, I couldn't find any books I liked, and I couldn't stand it anymore. For the second time, I thought about writing one myself."

"The second book is much better than the first one. It performed well and I earned some royalties."

"Then Xiaotian thought, if he's so good at writing novels part-time, wouldn't it be amazing if he quit his job and wrote full-time?"

Zhou Qingtian was confused. "He quit his job?"

"Isn't that stupid?"

"And then? How was the third book? Did your grades get better and better?"

Qin Fan shook his head. "Ever since he quit his job and confidently devoted himself to writing novels full-time, he's had a spectacular run of seven consecutive successes over the next two years."

"..."

Zhou Qingtian swallowed hard, frightened.

It's hard to imagine how awesome it is to win seven consecutive games...

In the next ten minutes or so, Qin Fan told her the story of a failed online novel.

Finally, Qin Fan said, "Do you know what Xiaotian told me?"

Zhou Qingtian looked at him, waiting for what to say next.

"He said the dumbest thing he had ever done in his life was quitting his job to write novels full-time.

"After a few years, he has almost forgotten his skills in moving bricks. Now if he is asked to move bricks again, he has no confidence that he can beat those who are younger than him.

"You must remember that writing for the internet is not for human beings. It's okay to do it part-time to make a little extra money, but doing it full-time is basically a dead end."

This is a lesson learned through blood and tears from an old loser who once had an amazing record of seven consecutive defeats!

Zhou Qingtian was silent for a while, then suddenly clenched his fists with a determined look in his eyes.

"But you're right. Now that you've decided to make a living in this industry, you have to cater to the market and stop being stubborn. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to open a popular book every day for at least three months to see the results."

"Why not start today?" Qin Fan asked back.

Zhou Qingtian's face was filled with bitterness. "I ran for a kilometer and I was almost dead tired. I fell asleep as soon as I got home. How could I open the book?"

"It's only one kilometer. How dare you say that? Those kids in the village can run farther than you."

"Let's go, run another kilometer."

Qin Fan got on his bicycle and waved to Zhou Qingtian.

"You devil..."

Zhou Qingtian reluctantly ran after the bicycle. When he returned to the yard, he felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Before entering the room, Qin Fan's voice came again.

"No matter what, as a friend, I support you. If you need anything, I can give you a reward as the leader."

"I'd rather not spend money on you. I can do it myself."

Zhou Qingtian was frightened by Qin Fan's boldness and waved his hand to refuse without thinking.

After saying that, she hurried into her room, leaned against the door and patted her chest.

Why do I feel my heart beating faster?

it's wired……

.......

311: Xie Zhiyao gave Qin Fan a red bean gift from the Goddess of Childbirth! Lin Na's thoughts

On the other hand, Xie Zhiyao still follows the same path as the original drama.

He ran to the city to find Xiaoliang, gave him some money and asked him to take good care of Xie Zhiyuan.

As the rumor spread, people in the village began to talk about Xie Zhiyao's inaction.

I suspect the reason he ignored his younger brother was because they were not born of the same mother and their relationship was not very good.

Xie Zhiyao did not offer any explanation.

As the rumors spread more and more fiercely, Grandma Xie urged Xie Zhiyao several times.

Still no movement from him.

Later, Aunt Agui and the other two could no longer sit still, so they ran to the courtyard to find Xie Zhiyao and tried to persuade him one by one.

"Ayao, what you did is wrong. It's been several days, and you haven't even gone to look for your brother. Kids of Ayuan's age can't tell good from bad. If they get involved with bad people in society, they're doomed!"

"It started as petty theft, but later it developed into robbery. You must take this matter seriously."

Aunt Agui's words not only criticized Xie Zhiyao, but also stabbed Aunt Feng.

Xie Qiang, the child of Aunt Feng, was imprisoned for stealing things and has not been released yet.

Aunt Agui's ability to offend people is comparable to that of Zhou Gege.

Xie Zhiyao glanced at Aunt Feng, who had an ugly expression on her face, and looked helpless.

"Everyone has been asking me about this these past few days. I've been telling them everything. Ayuan is already such a grown-up, what could possibly happen to him? I know what's going on, okay?"

"What do you think you can count? It's been so many days, and I haven't seen you go looking for it. Do you know how the people in the village are framing you?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense."

"..."

Qin Fan lay under the awning, listening to several aunts scolding Xie Zhiyao, and felt that they were even more boring than himself.

The same thing kept coming back over and over again: I didn't know where to find Xie Zhiyuan, but I had to find him!

Whether you can find it or not is one thing; finding it or not is another.

To translate what Aunt Agui and the other two said, Xie Zhiyao, you have to do it for the people in the village to see, so that they know that your relationship as brothers is harmonious, and it is not what they think.

When it comes to Xie Zhiyuan running away from home, it doesn’t matter where Xie Zhiyuan is hiding. What matters is Xie Zhiyuan’s attitude towards his brother.

It was as if Xie Zhiyao was worried about his brother and running in and out looking for him every day, which proved that he loved his brother very much.

These people were more afraid of the rumors than they were worried about Xie Zhiyuan.

Coupled with the pleasure of criticizing Xie Zhiyao from a moral perspective, the current situation has emerged.

Qin Fan felt that these aunts were quite annoying. It was inevitable to encounter such people in life. They would educate you with the mentality of considering you, but they would hold tightly to the supreme power of morality and beat, scold and criticize you at will.

In fact, they just want to satisfy that false sense of pleasure.

If they are really worried about Xie Zhiyuan's safety, they can go find him themselves!

He never looked for Xie Zhiyao once, and whenever he caught him, he would scold him. His purpose was obvious.

Aunt Agui, in particular, talks too much and has no sense of propriety. She often offends people accidentally, and few people in the whole village like to chat with her.

In the original drama, every time Aunt Agui went to the e-commerce warehouse to chat with people, others found her annoying and she didn't reflect on herself.

In fact, it is understandable. The old man feels very lonely when his children are not around, so he especially wants to find someone to chat with. But he has a mouth that can throw flying knives, so whoever chats with him will be unlucky.

Later on, it developed to the point where Aunt Agui wanted to chat with Aunt Feng, and she had to bring her some delicious food and beg her to chat with her for fifty cents. It was quite funny to think about it.

Qin Fan has been extremely bored these days. He doesn't know if it's because he offended Teacher Doudou badly, but Xu Hongdou always has a stern face when she sees him and doesn't bother to talk to him.

Later, she became tired of Qin Fan's pestering and simply ran to a small restaurant to find some peace and quiet.

Qin Fan was speechless. Aren't Teacher Doudou and Nana rivals in love? How did they get mixed up?

Little did he know that when Xu Hongdou learned that he bought the bicycle to pick up Lin Na from get off work, she was very unhappy and would rather go to accompany Lin Na in person than see them talking about love.

Xu Hongdou's idea was correct. With her watching over him, even if Qin Fan was thick-skinned, he couldn't show favoritism.

……

On the other side, Xie Heshun finished talking with Xie Zhiyao about purchasing, and then changed the subject:

"I heard that Boss Qin and Xu Hongdou are not actually husband and wife?"

This news spread widely in the village.

The villagers were in awe of the wealth. Knowing that Qin Fan had given the wood carving workshop a large order of seven or eight million, few dared to discuss the matter to its face. At most, they would chat about it in private.

Xie Zhiyao also heard such rumors, which were said to have spread from his small restaurant.

Currently, Qin Fan is the biggest financial backer in their village. Xie Zhiyao doesn't dare to ask around, fearing to offend Qin Fan, so he pretends not to know.

Now that Xie Heshun asked him, he couldn't continue to pretend to be confused and nodded.

"That's what happened."

"Are you sure they are not husband and wife, nor lovers?"

"I asked Lin Na privately, and she said that Qin Fan and Hong Dou are just friends."

"Oh no!"

Xie Heshun pounded his palms, his face full of depression, which made Xie Zhiyao a little confused.

"What's the matter, uncle?"

"Last time, after we finalized the order, didn't we agree that I would personally carve a statue of the Fertility-Giving Guanyin for Boss Qin as a thank-you gift..."

Xie Zhiyao was startled and asked hurriedly, "Uncle, you didn't send it over, did you?"

Xie Heshun waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, that statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, had just been carved. I was thinking of picking a good time to send it over, but then I heard the rumor that they weren't husband and wife, so I hurried to find you to confirm it."

Xie Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's a good thing you didn't give it to them. If you had rashly given it to them, it would have been like hitting the horse's leg with flattery. Even if Qin Fan didn't say it outwardly, he would have cursed us in his heart."

"Ayao, what do you think is the relationship between the two of them?"

Xie Zhiyao scratched his head a bit, "Looking at how close Qin Fan and Hongdou are, it's definitely more than just friendship. I guess the only thing missing is a confession."

Xie Heshun was not happy at all. He hated this kind of interpersonal relationship the most. But he had to express his gratitude since he got Qin Fan's big order. He couldn't help but complain.

"You young people, I don't know what's going on in your heads. One moment you're sweet and sweet, the next moment you're quarreling. What if in a few days, they get together again?"
