Chapter 221 221 [Trying to be courageous]
"What?! You're not coming back?" Xie Guangkun received a call from Xiang Nan and learned that he was not going home, so he immediately yelled on the phone, "Then your cousin is still at home waiting to welcome you, Can you not come back?"
"Father, don't be so embarrassing. My cousin is such a high-ranking official, can he wait at home to welcome me?" Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "Who am I, the county magistrate?"
"Hey, you kid, why don't you believe what I say?" Xie Guangkun insisted.
"Okay then, give my uncle the phone and ask him to talk to me~" Xiang Nan laughed.
"That... this..." Xie Guangkun was at a loss for words.
"Okay, Dad, don't do this or that." Xiang Nan smiled, "I have a business to stay in the city. My classmate Wang Bing has opened a company and wants me to help out for a few days.
I don't think about what my cousin introduced to me. The work of the county education committee has not been officially notified yet. So I wanted to go to my classmate first.
Firstly, to gain some work experience, secondly, to learn interpersonal communication, and thirdly, to earn some small money. Otherwise, I'll just wait for the news at home, isn't that what I'm waiting for? "
"Oh, you think so~" After hearing what his son said, Xie Guangkun felt that what he said made sense.
Now about going to the county education committee to work, it is only said that it is being done, but it has not been officially heard. There is really nothing to do to bring the child back at this moment.
Then it's better to stay in the city and wait for the news while working, so that there will be no delay.
"However, son, if you don't come back, dad really misses you~" Xie Guangkun said again.
"I miss you too." Xiang Nan said against his will, "When I get paid later, I'll buy a lot of gifts and bring them back to the village for you. Let you have a good time~"
"Gifts are not important, as long as you bring the money back. Dad is such an adult, it's useless to eat anything, and save money for you to buy a house and marry a wife." Xie Guangkun said quickly after hearing this.
"Okay, I know what you mean." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, I hung up, the phone is almost dead."
"Yes." Xie Guangkun nodded.
…
After nearly half an hour, the train finally arrived at Kaiyuan.
Xiang Nan then got off the train and out of the station with his notebook and luggage on his back.
Of course he will not go to Wang Bing. Although Wang Bing was his classmate, he didn't want to be a classmate. He not only tried to pry his corner, but also dug holes for him many times. For people like this, it is natural to stay as far away as possible.
Xiang Nan thought about it and decided to rent a house first.
Kaiyuan is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Tieling, and housing prices are not expensive. According to Xiang Nan's knowledge, in 2005, the housing price was less than 1,000, so renting a house was naturally cheaper.
Xiang Nan carried his luggage, walked the street twice, and finally chose a single room with a monthly rent of 50.
The house is just the most common bungalow, except for a hard bed, a broken table, and a broken chair, there is no extra furniture or home appliances.
Electricity is available, water can be picked up in the yard, and broadband is out of the question.
However, Xiang Nan also has a solution. Not far from here, there is a black Internet cafe. He plans to type on the notebook first, and then use a USB flash drive to upload to the Internet cafe.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is always a solution.
And the reason why he is so hard is mainly because he has no money. He only has 500 yuan in his pocket now. After two months of meals and Internet fees, there is not much money left, and he must save as much as possible.
Fortunately, he didn't have a hard time, so he decided to go on like this first, and wait for the achievements to be made.
…
After settling down, Xiang Nan began to type.
He wants to write "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". This novel is an immortal work sung by the world.
In 2006, he serialized nonsense on the Tianya forum, attracting millions of hits. Afterwards, it signed a contract with Qidian.com, and serialized a million words, which caused a great sensation.
It has been ranked No. 1 in the Baidu search list for a long time, and the first place in the online novel list. At the same time, it was also listed on the best-seller lists of major countries in the country. It was the most popular work in 2006, and the physical book alone sold tens of millions of sets.
The film and television dramas, radio dramas, audio novels, comics, and games adapted from it are too numerous to enumerate. The world's Ba Sing has also been listed on the richest list of Chinese Internet novel writers for many times, with an income of hundreds of millions.
Xiang Nan intends to copy the success of Tianxiabasing. Immediately he began to write.
…
At the same time, Xie Guangkun also informed the family that there was no need to prepare a banquet at noon, and his son stayed in the city and would not come back.
"Aren't you coming back?! What's going on?" Zhao Jinfeng asked suspiciously upon hearing this.
"If you don't come back, you won't come back, what's the point of asking?" Xie Guangkun glared at the old woman and said.
"Is it all right for me to ask? Old man, is something wrong with Yongqiang?" Zhao Jinfeng asked worriedly.
"What nonsense." Xie Guangkun glared at him and said.
"Father, why didn't Yongqiang come back?" Brother-in-law Pi Changshan also asked curiously.
Knowing that Yongqiang is coming back today, and knowing that he will go to work in the county education committee in the future, Pi Changshan got up early and came to help with the work, in order to please his brother-in-law, so that he can support himself in the future.
Unexpectedly, after working for a long time, Yongqiang would not come back, which made him very disappointed. There is a kind of melancholy that is thrown to the blind with pretty eyes.
"Yongqiang, help your classmates in the city." Xie Guangkun said to his son-in-law triumphantly with a loud voice, "His classmate opened a big business in the city, so he must be asked to help.
Yongqiang is a loyal boy, so he decided to help him for a few days first. He will come back to work when the letter of appointment from the county education committee comes. "
"Oh, this kid Yongqiang is very popular." Zhao Jinfeng smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
"Well, that's fine. It's good to go to work in the city, gain some work experience, and learn how to raise eyebrows." Pi Changshan also agreed.
"So, this kid is smart, and adults don't need to worry about it." Xie Guangkun also said triumphantly.
…
Xiang Nan was in the rental room, eating steamed buns and salted vegetables, drinking cold water when he was thirsty, and lying on the bed when he was tired. In three days, nearly 60,000 characters were coded.
Actually, he is still slow. A great master like Xuehong can code 10,000 words in two hours, that is really fast.
After coding, he uploaded it to the USB flash drive and went to the black Internet cafe.
The Internet fee at that time was one yuan per hour, which was relatively cheap. However, the configuration of the machine is very poor, at most it is a Celeron D processor, and it takes more than a minute to start up.
Xiang Nan then registered on the Tianya Forum, and then uploaded "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" piece by piece.
After the pass, he took the time to play CS, and got addicted to sweeping thousands of troops.
After playing CS, he returned to the Tianya website, and saw that his post had already added more than a dozen comments.
"The landlord wrote well~", "Update soon, it's not enough to read~", "Looking forward to the next article~"
