This night of warmth, this night of gentleness, was only for the wait ten years later. The next day, Xia Qiu got up early and covered Liu Qianqian with a new blanket. Then, he continued his pursuit of immortality. This was something that he had to do every day and could not abandon.
However, the moment he left, Liu Qianqian opened her pair of bright eyes and lay on the blanket, letting her imagination run wild. Her face was flushed red, and there was a hint of bitterness in it.'
After Xia Qiu finished cultivating, she came back with two sets of breakfast and realized that Liu Qianqian was still asleep. She was probably too embarrassed to see him. He tiptoed to her and said softly," Little beauty Qianqian, it's time to get up." After saying that, he pinched her cheek, but Liu Qianqian grabbed him and stopped him from moving.
Liu Qianqian turned and rolled her eyes at Xia Qiu."You little rascal, you're so young and you're already so bad. Who knows how many girls you'll harm when you grow up? I really don't know where you learned these things from.
Xia Qiu looked at her and smiled.""Who asked you to be so beautiful? You don't know how attractive your beauty is to me. It always makes me unable to control myself. You can't blame me for being too lecherous.”
Liu Qianqian blushed when she heard that, but she was happy. It was always a happy thing to be praised for her beauty. She patted Xia Qiu's head and scolded,""You're full of nonsense. You only know how to coax girls with good words."
Xia Qiu smiled and said,"" Others say that a girl's mind is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. No matter how you guess, you can't guess it. So, don't underestimate the job of coaxing a girl. This is a job that hurts both your brain and your physical strength."
Liu Qianqian patted Xia Qiu lightly and laughed." A needle in the sea? When you grow up, you can think about how to find a needle in the sea. Even if you have a hundred women now, you won't be able to eat them."
Half an hour later, Xia Qiu was eating his breakfast gloomily while Liu Qianqian was all smiles. Sometimes she left him a bowl of porridge, and sometimes she gave him a youtiao. She treated Xia Qiu like an old grandpa.
After breakfast, Xia Qiu's housekeeper arrived. She had found her from the housekeeping company. The nanny's surname was Huang Yan, but everyone called her Aunt Huang. She was in her fifties and also came from the mainland. However, she had been in Xianggang for more than twenty years.
She was a servant girl from a rich family. In the fifties, she followed her master to Xianggang and later became a servant girl.
But in the end, the main family's business failed, so they were chased out again. All these years, she had been working as a nanny for others. However, in recent years, it had become popular to have a filipino maid, so this nanny from the mainland naturally lost her job. Xia Qiu had chosen her not only because she was a mainlander, but also because she had a lot of experience and a reliable mouth. This Aunt Huang happened to have experience in this area.
"Young Master, Young Miss." Aunt Huang looked at the two people in front of her and was a little reserved. She did not know what this family did or what rules they had. Sometimes, children were the hardest to take care of.
"Auntie Huang, there are only the two of us at home. Your main task is to help us cook, clean, wash clothes, and so on. There's nothing else. You can call me Mr. Xia from now on, and she can call me Miss Liu.”
"Yes, Mr. Xia." From this conversation, Auntie Huang knew that this child had the final say in this family.
After settling these matters, Xia Qiu resumed his plagiarism. This time, he was much faster than the last time he was in Quest of Qin. On average, he could plagiarize more than 60,000 words a day. Liu Qianqian knew that Xia Qiu was writing a novel again, so she didn't bother him anymore.
After tidying up the manuscript, she had never slept with Xia Qiu again, except for her usual flirtatious behavior.
A week passed peacefully like this. Today was the day of the serial publication of the Quest for Qin. Xia Qiu went out to buy a copy of the Bloody Island Daily, but it was not on it. There was only a big title on it,'Quest for Qin' but below it was written,
If you could travel through time and space, would you be happy? What would you do if you transmigrated to the Warring States Period? If you meet Qin Shihuang, you
Are you afraid?
An unexpected transmigration resulted in a different life.‘The eight-year-old child prodigy Xia Qiu, with his masterpiece, The Quest for Qin, will land on Xianggang tomorrow. Please look forward to it. Let's see the child prodigy of a generation, his wonderful pen and flowers, writing a legend. Below is another handsome and domineering battle map of ancient characters. Xia Qiu did not have any objections to this kind of publicity. He was eager to publicize it so that his subsequent books would sell better.
He was thinking of selling the first 500,000 words of his journey back to the Ming Dynasty as a prince after his journey became famous. This book had more than 3.7 million words and could be divided into seven volumes. The money he would earn would definitely be dozens or even hundreds of times more than what he would earn from the newspapers.
At the headquarters of the Bloody Island Daily, Chief Editor Xu had been having a hard time these days. The staff of the newspaper office were gossiping about him behind his back because he had spent 45 yuan to sign the contract for the 1,000-word search for Qin. If it was a famous author, this price could be said to be
It was worth it, but Xia Qiu was a newcomer. She was an author who had been rejected by both Ming Pao and Dongfang Daily, yet he signed her on for 45 yuan.
The news agency had some hope for this novel. After all, Chief Editor Xu was a veteran of the news agency. With his work experience, he was destined not to sign a novel at random. That would ruin his job and reputation. It would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in this industry in the future. However, he heard that this 'Quest for Qin' had been rejected by two major newspapers before, and even by a serious newspaper like the newspaper.
Everyone knew very well what Dong Fang Daily was. It was a hooligan newspaper, and no one would care too much if it rejected " Xun Qin Ji ". However, the newspaper was different. The newspaper represented Yong Yong, and Yong Yong represented the entire novel world of Xianggang. In the general impression of people, as long as Yong Yong said that the novel was good, it would definitely be good. Now that Yong Yong had rejected " Xun Qin Ji," did this book still have a future?
Chief Editor Xu was not very confident about this news. The discussions in the newspaper office made him doubt his own decision. There were all kinds of rumors and gossip in the newspaper. The worst of them was that he had received a commission from Xia Qiu and that Xia Qiu was his illegitimate child. This made him angry and helpless. Xia Qiu was only eight years old and he had to make such a risky decision.
Originally, today was the day of the book's serial release. In order to be safe, he had specially used a full page to promote it. This kind of publicity could not be given casually. For this, he had even made a military pledge in front of the boss. If the results of this book were not good, he would resign and leave next month. This time, he was really gambling.
There were many newspapers in Xianggang, but the circle was very small. The two major newspapers rejected the " Quest for Qin " and the Bloody Island Daily signed it at a high price of 45 yuan. This was no secret in the newspaper industry, and everyone was waiting to see the Bloody Island Daily make a fool of themselves. Dong Fang Daily's Chief Editor Xia glanced at the promotional page of 'Quest of the Ancient Qin' and felt a little regretful. Although he had rejected 'Quest of the Ancient Qin,' he had only lowered the price. Running a newspaper was also a business. How could he set the price so quickly? However, what he did not expect was that the child had just left.
Other people didn't know what kind of book it was, but he had read some. He felt that this book should be able to sold well. If he had raised the price a little, he might have been able to sign it. Unlike Chief Editor Xia's regret, the stoic chief editor of the newspaper did not care about this. He always thought that an eight-year-old child could write anything. As for the signing of the contract for the Quest for Qin, he thought that Chief Editor Xu's head had been crushed by the door.
In order to belittle the Bloody Island Daily, he even publicized on different occasions that the Bloody Island Daily had signed an elementary school student essay for 45 yuan per thousand words. He even said that the elementary school students were uncultured and that he would spit at anyone who did not sign his essay. He had already prepared a satirical article in the future. The title would be 'If you don't sign the contract, you spit. If you sign the contract, you lose 70,000.'
To spend a full page to promote a novel, especially when it was written by an eight-year-old child, many people would feel uneasy.
The loyal readers of the daily newspaper thought that this was nonsense, but many people were curious. To be able to do such a big promotion, he must have some real ability.
Xia Qiu did not care about the disputes in the outside world. He had already gotten the money and knew better than anyone else whether he could sold well. Even if he could not sell it well now, it was not his money that would be lost. Therefore, he was leisurely doing his own thing.
The next day, Chief Editor Xu Jianfu was full of worries and did not go out of the office. He was waiting for the sales statistics of the Bloody Island Daily.
The Quest for Qin had given him a lot of pressure. Today was the first day, so he hoped that he would get a good result. Otherwise, he would have to leave next month.
Damn it. At this moment, the staff member, Wang Hua, ran over and said,"Managing Editor, the statistics are out."
"How much? Did it increase?"
"Today's data is 86,588. Today, there are only 800 more.”After Wang Hwa finished speaking, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
He had only increased it by 800 or so portions. How could it be so little? Could it be that he had really failed this time? Xu Jianfu felt bitter in his heart. The novel that he liked had endured so much pressure to get a full page of publicity, but in the end, it only increased by a little. Looks like I really need to prepare
She resigned." I know. Go and do your work."”
Wang Hwa thought about it and said to Xu Jianfu,"Chief editor, the market is actually very responsive.”
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"I heard a lot of people talking about the novel 'Quest for the Ancient Qin' in the car today. Perhaps today is the first day, and many people might not know about this novel. If it's another day or two, the sales of the newspaper should increase by another level.”
"Are you saying that many people are talking about the novel? Are you sure they are talking about the novel?”
"Yes, chief editor, they are indeed talking about this novel, and many people are talking about traveling through time and space.”
Xu Jianfu was delighted. Since there were people discussing it, it meant that there were people who were interested." Did the newsstands have any reaction?"”
"I've specifically asked them about it. According to them, the morning was no different from usual, but there were more people who came to buy it in the afternoon than usual. Many of them came for the Quest of Qin. Some of the newsstand owners even suggested that we print more tomorrow. In the morning, many people were watching or didn't know about this novel. In the afternoon, some people's desire to buy it was aroused through the publicity of others.”
Hearing these words, Xu Jianfu felt relieved. A smile appeared on his face."Little Wang, you're not bad. Your analysis is very reasonable, and you've done your job well.”
