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.
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."Who knows how many girls he will harm when he grows up.
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. You can't blame me. You can only blame yourself for being too beautiful.”
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 had also come from the past. However, she had been in Gang City for more than twenty years. In her early years, she was a servant girl of a rich family. In the fifties, she followed her master to Gang City 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, they had been working as a nanny for others. However, in recent years, it had become popular to have a filipino maid, so the nanny who came was naturally unemployed. Xia Qiu had chosen her not only because of her identity, but also because of her rich experience and her ability to keep her mouth shut. This Auntie Huang happened to have such experience.
"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, young people 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 young man 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 did not bother him anymore. She just tidied up the manuscripts every day and never slept with Xia Qiu again.
A week passed by peacefully. Today was the day of the serial publication of the story. Xia Qiu went out to buy a copy of the Bloody Island Daily, but it wasn't on it. There was only a big title on it,'The Story of the Pursuit of Qin', but below it was written: If you can travel through time and space, will you be happy? What would you do if you transmigrated to the Warring States Period? If you met Qin Shihuang, would you be afraid? An unexpected transmigration resulted in a different life.‘The child prodigy Xia Qiu, with his masterpiece, The Quest for Qin, will land in Gangcheng tomorrow. Please look forward to it. Let's see the child prodigy of a generation, 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.
Chief Editor Xu had been having a hard time at the headquarters of the Bloody Island Daily. The staff of the newspaper were gossiping about him behind his back because he had spent 45 yuan to sign the contract for the 1,000-word novel. If it was a famous author, this price could be said to be very worth it. However, Xia Qiu was a newcomer, an author who had been rejected by both Ming Pao and Dong Fang Daily. In the end, he had signed the contract, and it was 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. No one would care too much if it rejected " Journey to Qin ". However, the newspaper was different. The newspaper represented Jin Ming, and Jin Ming represented the entire novel world in Gang City. In the general impression of people, as long as Jin Ming said that the novel was good, it would definitely be good. Now that Jin Ming had rejected " Journey to Qin ", 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 a teenager 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 newspaper companies in Gangcheng, but the circle was very small. Quest for Qin was rejected by two major newspapers but was signed by the Bloody Island Daily 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,' that was only to lower 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 young man 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 a teenager could write anything. As for the signing of the Qin Dynasty, he thought that Chief Editor Xu's head was 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.'
Many loyal readers of the Bloody Island Daily thought that it was a waste of time to spend a full page promoting a novel, especially when they saw a novel written by a teenager. However, many people were curious. Someone who could do such a big promotion 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 of Qin had given him a lot of pressure. Today was the first day, so he hoped that there would be good results. Otherwise, he would be fired 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.”
