my sister is not a helper

Chapter 110 What's on your mind?
The magic city at the end of May already smelled of summer.

The air conditioner is still on or off, but skirts of various colors are already competing for beauty on the girls' waists.

Lin Zhe was wearing loose trousers and an old shirt, sitting on the computer desk in front of the window and typing quickly.
The evening breeze was blowing in from the window, it was warm and it was his favorite natural temperature.

"Xiao Zhe, go downstairs and buy a durian."

"Forget it, let me go buy it! You can spend hundreds of dollars a minute, and you really can't afford to delay it"

Lin Xi, the elder sister, was wearing an apron and leaned halfway in from the door. Seeing Lin Zhe's concentration, she immediately changed her mind and went out by herself.

Lin Zhe shouted without turning his head: "Sister, I don't like durian, it tastes too strong."

"I didn't give you something to eat. Fuzhen is going to be a guest later. She likes durian the most."

Lin Xi changed his slippers, opened the door and went downstairs.

Lin Zhe typed non-stop, and muttered: "What kind of durian do good girls like? Aren't you afraid to scare your boyfriend away?"

【Hu Tiehua looked up and laughed loudly: "If you fool me once, it's the other person's fault. If you can fool me twice, it's my own fault. How do you think I would be fooled again?"]

[Legend of Chu Liuxiang, the end of the first part]

Lin Zhe finally finished writing the words in his mind and finished the first part of "Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

Then he didn't even check the typos, so he directly compressed the document and sent it to Hu Rui's mailbox.

Now Lin Zhe is a gold-medal writer of Danjiang Publishing House. He is equipped with a special editor for proofreading, not to mention typos, and punctuation marks are all taken care of for you.

"Hey, Editor-in-Chief Hu, first of all, congratulations to Gao Sheng. Besides, I have sent you my new book! Print it for me as soon as possible."

After calling Hu Rui, Lin Zhe first expressed his congratulations, and then asked him to make money for himself quickly.

"Mr. Gu Long, don't worry, proofread in three days, and enter the sales channel in ten days. If you are in a hurry to spend money, I will report to you immediately to prepay the royalties."

Hu Rui has been promoted to the editor-in-chief of Duanjiang Publishing House, and it is the time when he is proud of himself, so he treats Lin Zhe very kindly.

Because he was able to sit in the editor-in-chief's chair thanks to the writer "Gu Long" on the other end of the phone.

Before Hu Rui "discovered" the writer Gu Long, the former domestic publishing leader, Qianjiang Publishing House, had fallen out of the top three domestically in terms of sales share, and the decline was accelerating.

And with the birth of Gu Long, "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" and "Peerless Twins" swept the novel market of the entire Wei Dynasty with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops.
All romance, poetry, and sentimental literature were all hanged and beaten by Gu Long's martial arts.

In just two months, the short river publishing house has stopped the decline and returned to the top three ranks in China.

And Hu Rui relied on his "unique market insight" to successfully defeat Bi Shuhua from the Department of Literature and Art, and took the position of editor-in-chief.

"Editor Hu, there is no rush to pay royalties in advance, but have you worked on the overseas promotion I mentioned to you?"

"It is already in operation, and it is quite smooth. Several overseas publishing houses have cooperation intentions."

Hu Rui on the other end of the phone was also very happy. Not to mention that Lin Zhe's novels were enjoyed in the Great Wei Dynasty, there was no need to advertise at all, and they sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.

What surprised Hu Rui was the ability to open up the situation overseas.

The overseas market development of Duanjiang Publishing House has not been smooth, after all, that is the traditional market scope of Hong Kong Island Publishing House.

So when Lin Zhe asked his novels to be distributed overseas, Danjiang Publishing House didn't pay much attention to it.

But I never thought that in just a few days, the big sellers in the entire East Asia region would give the publishing house a positive response.

"Okay! I hope that next month's royalties can reach a new level. If it is less than 800 million, I may have to pay some royalties in advance."

Lin Zhe calculated his own financial reserves, and put forward his own requirements and plans.

Editor-in-Chief Hu immediately said: "That's definitely no problem, just talk if you need money."

The reason why Hu Rui dared to prepay the royalties to Lin Zhe was because the momentum of sales was too strong.

A few months ago, Lin Zhe paid an advance of 2000 million in royalties, and it was almost repaid in two months. Although the number of publications this month was a little less, Lin Zhe has a new book coming out!
A young writer who can produce high-quality novels is no different from a walking money printing machine.

Short of money?

How much do you need?

"But Mr. Gu Long, you need so much money. Can you tell me why? I mean, can I help you?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I think the housing prices in the magic city are going to rise, so I want to stock up on a few sets for fun."

"."

Hu Rui didn't quite believe it, because he was also from Mocheng.

The highest house price in Magic City is [-] and [-], and the average price is less than [-]. How many units do you buy a month?

"By the way, a lot of people have recently asked for the copyright of the adaptation of "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" and "Peerless Two Pride", and I have pushed it for you according to your instructions. If Mr. Gu Long has new ideas in the future, remember to let me know in time .”

When the conversation between the two was about to end, Hu Rui suddenly mentioned the matter of copyright again.

What he meant by this was to ask if Lin Zhe's copyright could be sold.

There are too many people looking for him recently.

"Editor Hu, you said I'm selling the copyright right now, how much can they give me?"

"This can be discussed. I heard that the rights to adapt 60 yuan for Jin Lao's Tianpeng Eight Parts."

"Then am I short of 60?"

"."

Hu Rui stopped talking, he felt that Lin Zhe's thoughts were not on the same line.

Writers sell adaptation copyrights not only for money, but also for the exchange of contacts.

But the last time I suggested that it was Zhang Dazi who wanted to buy the copyright, Lin Zhe ignored it.

This Gu Long is a dead money.

"Okay, I understand what Mr. Gu Long means, I'll go and arrange the publication of your new book right now,

But Mr. Gu Long should also pay attention to his body!I always find your high-intensity writing a bit scary, hahahaha~"

"Hehe, I only fight for the day and night."

Lin Zhe hung up the phone, feeling a little tired.

Codewriting is also very hard work, but now Huoshi Entertainment's cash flow is all supported by Lin Zhe, no matter how hard it is, he has to endure it.

Moreover, Lin Zhe knows that the glorious era of paper media novels has only been a few years away.
When the era of web literature comes, the works of "Gu Long" will gradually be overwhelmed by the web literature of the new era.

"Will I still write then? What will I write?"

"Is it "Zhu Xian", "Profanity", "The Story of Charm", or directly "Fights Break the Sphere"?"

Lin Zhe fell into obsession with a past life.

At the beginning, he also worked hard to code and write articles in exchange for the meager manuscript fee, so as to improve his struggling family life.

But the result is indescribable.

"Slot, when the time comes, I will set up a website by myself, open eight trumpet accounts, and post all novels as recommended on the homepage every day, not to make money, but to make others envious."

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Just when Lin Zhe was enjoying himself as the king of online literature, the door opened, and Lin Xi and the dancing girl Tian Fuzhen entered the house together.

Lin Zhe turned off the computer, pulled on his slippers and walked out of his room.

"Hey, Tian Fuzhen, you bought so many things? It's not the way to please the boss, is it?"

Lin Zhe saw Tian Fuzhen's two hands full of things, and immediately laughed and teased.

"What nonsense? Do people need to please you?"

Lin Xi pushed his younger brother in disgust, and continued angrily: "Go change your clothes, what a mess it looks like."

Lin Zhe was wearing a half-new old man's shirt with big underpants. He had no problem with acquaintances at home, but he was too casual when he had guests.

And Tian Fuzhen hurriedly waved her hands and smiled: "No, no, I'm so familiar with Lin Zhe, I don't need to be so obscene, and my dad also wears this at home, just to make it comfortable."

Tian Fuzhen was very smart, Lin Zhe received her in old clothes, which proved that she was not treated as a guest in his heart.

Then the girl will definitely not let the distance between the two of them quietly widen.

Lin Zhe stretched out his hand to take a bag of presents with a heavy hand.

"I said you brought so many things here, isn't it too heavy? If you do this again in the future, you will not be allowed to enter the door!"

Tian Fuzhen hurriedly explained: "This is the new tea produced in our tea garden. I gave some to many people in the company. It's not just for you and sister Lin Xi."

"Oh, your family grows tea!"

"Huh? This spring tea is not ordinary!"

Lin Zhe took out a can of tea, opened it and smelled it, and immediately laughed.

"Well, our family used to grow tea, and then we moved to the magic city. Shall I brew a pot for you?"

"Okay!"

Lin Zhe sat on the sofa in a grand manner, and his outspoken sister Lin Xi rolled her eyes.

This is not to blame for Lin Zhe. In the previous generation, Lin Zhe was used to being served by girls. Although he is healthy in this life, he will not do it himself if he can do it himself.

Tian Fuzhen opened the gift she brought, only a small part of the tea leaves, and the rest turned out to be a whole set of high-quality tea sets.

Boiling water, ironing the pot, and washing tea, Tian Fuzhen's tea art is so impressive that even Lin Xi was quite surprised.

When the tea leaves are brewing, the small two-bedroom apartment seems to be unable to hold the fragrance of tea that fills the room, and it seems to be spilling out.

Tian Fuzhen picked up the teacup and gave it to Lin Xi first, then to Lin Zhe.

With green tea, simple tea sets, and fair fingers, Tian Fuzhen, who is usually laughing and laughing, managed to show the charm of a beauty serving tea.

Lin Zhe took a sip and confirmed a guess in his mind.

"Student Tian, ​​is this master tea?"

"."

Tian Fuzhen was stunned, and said with a smile: "My grandfather made it himself, but he doesn't have the title of master tea maker recognized by the country."

Lin Zhe drank the water in the teacup and said with a smile: "The tea masters recognized by the people are much more powerful than those recognized by the country. I heard that there is a master Tian Mosheng."

The so-called "master tea" on the market is generally "supervised" by the master tea maker.

However, the tea leaves roasted by real masters are only a little bit every year, and they will not be circulated in the market at all.

And Lin Zhe had just drank the tea brought by Tian Fuzhen, and it had a unique aftertaste.

And as there are no successors for the tea masters, this kind of high-end tea is less and less likely to enter the homes of ordinary people.

Lin Zhe seemed to explain to Lin Xi what master tea is, but Tian Fuzhen next to him just smiled slightly and didn't answer.

She didn't want to say that Tian Mosheng was her grandfather.

Because Tian's family is a well-known Zheshang family, and in a chat with Tian Fuzhen, Lin Xi vaguely mentioned Zheshang's bad marriage habits.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first, and then see how this year's opponents are doing."

The current Lin Xi still can't drink the faint difference of tea leaves. She only knows that her younger brother eats a lot recently and must eat well and be full.

During the meal, the three of them chatted about the big Wei MTV competition that will be broadcast tonight.

The MTV competition is the main program of Dawei Central Television's art channel. It is broadcast continuously for one month and attracts a large number of viewers to watch every year.

"We have a tight preparation time this time, and there is only one song "Super Star" in the competition. Do you think we can break out of the encirclement?"

Lin Zhe said: "How do I know this, but if the skirts of the three of them can be shortened by two inches, the effect of the MV will be more perfect."

"Bang~"

Lin Xi kicked Lin Zhe hard, like a parent who saw his child peeking at a video.

"You're young, what's on your mind?"

"Why do I?"

Lin Zhe feels wronged, the world has not yet been civilized to the point where even short skirts are required, so in the MV, the skirts of Tian Fuzhen and the other three girls just exposed their knees.

Lin Zhe believes that the charm of a girl who has retreated a little bit is not perfect enough.

Look at the short skirt of the leader of the sweetheart, where is there a trace of obscenity?

But maybe because Tian Fuzhen was by her side, her elder sister Lin Xi felt that her younger brother was too embarrassing.

Lin Zhe started eating sullenly, and ignored his sister's questions, with an attitude that if I don't say anything, I won't make a mistake.

But Tian Fuzhen tugged on the skirt quietly, revealing a small section of fair thigh and pale pink knee.
