Downstairs of Lu Yu's tea room.
"Gu... Mr. Gu, why are you here dressed like this?”
Wu Jingnian looked at Gu Mingxuan, who was wearing a white shirt and holding an exquisite box in his hand, in shock.
Wasn't this too casual?
"I've always dressed like this. Isn't it just drinking tea? It's better to be casual."
Gu Mingxuan's refined appearance made it hard for anyone to imagine that he used to be a street vendor.
"Then, Mr. Gu, come with me."
Wu Jingnian quickly brought Gu Mingxuan to the second floor of the tea room.
Gu Mingxuan saw Jin Yong in a 'suit' from afar?
Gu Mingxuan finally understood why Wu Jingnian felt that he was dressed inappropriately.
"Mr. Cha, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Gu Mingxuan cupped his hands and greeted Jin Yong.
"You must be Mr. Gu? I just arrived, please sit!"
Jin Yong greeted them with a smile. Even though he was wearing a suit, he exuded a refined aura.
"Mr. Zha, just call me Ah Xuan. I can't be called Mr. Zha in front of you."
Gu Mingxuan said humbly.
In the world of literature, the word " mister " had a deeper meaning. It was usually used to describe a person with a great family and profound literary attainments.
"Hehe, then I'll call you 'little friend'. You don't mind, do you?”
Jin Yong laughed.
"But Mr. Cha!"
"There's something I don't understand. I'd like to ask little friend Gu to answer it."
"Mr. Cha, please ask."
"Why did little friend Gu end the book with 'Ah Qing leaving sadly?”
Gu Mingxuan had expected Jin Yong to ask about the Sword of the Yue Maiden, but he did not expect this question.
This is what you wrote!
Gu Mingxuan thought for a moment and replied," I personally think that there is no perfect person in this world. Xi Shi has a beautiful appearance and a weak heart. She is more attractive to men." Ah Qing is a heroic and independent woman. She can go to the battlefield like a heroine, but she is not very attractive to men. The so-called 'leaving sadly' is just a character, which is in line with the historical view."
To put it bluntly, between a beautiful woman and a masculine woman, a man's hormones would naturally choose the former.
"Yes, what little friend said makes sense.”
Jin Yong nodded and then added,"However, if you can let Ah Qing die on the battlefield, this novel will definitely be much better!”
Didn't you write this?
Gu Mingxuan's expression was a little strange. It was a strange feeling to hear the author comment on his shortcomings.
"Little Friend Gu, are you alright? Or do you think I'm wrong? Just point it out."
Jin Yong looked at Gu Mingxuan's strange expression and thought that he did not agree with him.
"No, I was just inspired by Mr. Cha and was thinking about that scene in my mind."
After talking for half a day, Gu Mingxuan was starting to get a little anxious.
Since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it.
"Mr. Cha, actually, I asked you out today to discuss the publication of the 'Sword of the Yue Maiden' in your newspaper. What do you think?"
"Actually, that's why I'm here too. It's just that little friend, you have to know that although I admire your novel, you're still a newcomer, so"
Jin Yong's words implied that the reward would not be too much. In fact, the reason why he had talked nonsense previously was partly because he admired the 'Sword of the Yue Maiden' and partly because he wanted to wait for Gu Mingxuan to lose his patience so that he could take the initiative.
Kim Yong might be a master of the novel world and the head of Ming Pao. In fact, he was very stingy.
Gu Mingxuan had heard such a story in his previous life.
Ming Pao's female writer, Lin Yanni, had once talked to Kim Yong about a raise. In the end, Kim Yong said,"You love to spend money so much. No matter how much I give you, it will all be spent.”。
A few days later, Yi Shu went to ask Jin Yong for a raise. Jin Yong said,""You're so thrifty. No matter how much I give you, you won't be able to bear to spend it.”
The two of them returned empty-handed.
It could be seen how stingy Jin Yong was in this aspect.
However, Jin Yong would never have guessed that Gu Mingxuan was not interested in the reward at all. He was plotting something else.
"Mr. Cha, you've misunderstood. I plan to serialize 'Sword of the Yue Maiden' in Ming Pao without any remuneration. I just want Mr. Cha to help me!”
"No reward? Is that true?"
It was Wu Jingnian, the editor-in-chief, who asked.
"Hehe, what do you want me to do for you, young friend?”
Jin Yong asked with a smile.
Help could be big or small, small help could be helpful, but big help naturally had to be carefully considered.
"I want to publish a free advertisement for Gu Ji in Ming Pao for a year!”
"A year?"
Before Jin Yong could say anything, Wu Jingnian's eyes widened.
You want to publish an advertisement in the newspaper for a year with a novel fee of tens of thousands of yuan? Aren't you being too whimsical?
"Little friend, I believe that I don't need to say it out loud. Just look at Editor Wu's reaction and you will know my answer, right?”
Jin Yong laughed.
"Mr. Cha, please take a look at this."
Gu Mingxuan took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to Jin Yong.
"This is?"
Jin Yong opened the paper and looked at it. There was a title on the top of the first paper."
Was it a new novel he wrote?
Jin Yong looked at the paper.
