Reborn since 2005

Chapter 685 People who pursue their dreams
Yan Xin stayed at Cai Qixiang's house until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and then left.

Cai Qixiang asked him to stay here for one night, but he politely refused.

He wasn't used to living here.

He also had a bit of a guilty conscience. When facing Cai Qixiang, especially when teasing his son in front of him, that feeling of guilty conscience was particularly strong.

It didn't make sense, but after staying there for a long time, I felt really uncomfortable.

So, there is no need to live here.

After leaving, he called Chen Li and went directly to his house.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. This time they went over to catch up on old times and have dinner.

Currently, Chen Li's "Shading the Sky" is still being written, and it has entered the middle and late stages, but there is no problem in writing it for another year and a half.

This is on the premise that he updates no less than 8,000 words every day.

If the daily update rate is 4,000, then it will be no problem to write it for two years.

Chen Li has been writing this novel for several years, longer than the time he wrote "Fights Break the Sphere".

To be honest, the reason that supports him to continue writing now is just one-to make money.

It’s so easy to earn money. Two or three hours of coding a day is what many people earn in a year.

Money came so easily that he couldn't find a reason to give up - he had been poor for a long time.

Yan Xin had already sorted out the outline and details of this novel for him, and it was very smooth to write. At most, the words and sentences needed some consideration, but there were no problems in other aspects.

Even if it takes such a long time to write a book, there will be some aesthetic fatigue.

He is already thinking about what to write in his new book.

Moreover, now that he is famous and successful, he wants to write a truly original novel of his own.

——Although the first two books were written by him, the core things were provided to him by Yan Xin, which always made him feel that they were not his own and felt a little awkward.

Now he wants to do it himself.

However, he is not very confident and still needs some advice from Yan Xin.

——For Internet article authors, this is a very normal thing. When most Internet article authors open a new book, they will discuss with others what subject matter to write, how to write it, and whether there is a beginning.

During this meeting, he talked about this with Yan Xin.

He allocates some time every day to read novels. He has basically read all the top twenty books on the monthly popular list, and he still has a certain understanding of the current trend of online literature.

So he also has some ideas of his own about online articles and has come up with some ideas, all about new books.

He has no idea which one will be marketable, so he hopes to get advice from Yan Xin.

Although Yan Xin doesn't write novels, he firmly believes that it's just because this guy is too lazy to write, not that he can't write it.

When it comes to online novels, he trusts Yan Xin's judgment more.

Yan Xin listened to the themes he mentioned, and what he said about Golden Finger and the general plot. He felt that it was quite satisfactory. It was not vulgar in the current world of online literature, but there was nothing eye-catching about it.

It’s just a very ordinary article about leveling up and killing monsters.

You can write well if you want to, or you can write beautifully, all depends on the author's writing style.

Chen Li has written more than 10 million words, and he can firmly occupy the position of the first person in Internet writing. There is no problem with his writing style - at least his writing style is passable in the Internet writing circle.

In terms of plot, with his writing experience in the past few years, he believed that Chen Li could also come up with a reasonable arrangement.

As for the few themes he provided, if a newcomer writes about it, there is a high probability that he will be thrown away - because there are too many authors who write like that.

However, it is written by Chen Li, and with the reader base accumulated over the past few years, it is bound to be highly recommended by the website. If you write it carefully, the results will not be too bad.

If you just want to seek a breakthrough and give readers a different feeling from previous online works, it will be difficult.

To put it more clearly, this is resting on one's laurels and will not bring any breakthrough to his career.

But he also understood why Chen Li did this.

I just want to get rid of his influence and write my own works.

In addition, since there is no need to use his creativity, there is no need to pay dividends.

He himself had never thought about continuing to share dividends with Chen Li - in the past, it was called no choice, everyone was very poor, and he also needed start-up funds, so he came up with ideas, detailed outlines, characters, etc., and he had certain writing skills. Chen Li wrote it out, and then everyone shared the royalties equally.

Now he doesn't need money that much, and the amount he needs cannot be covered by royalties.

In fact, it is no longer that important to pay dividends or not.

Therefore, if Chen Li wanted to go solo without his influence, he would not object, and even encouraged him to do so.

He also affirmed several themes mentioned by Chen Li and felt that he would definitely achieve good results if he wrote them.

There are some routines, but in the Internet literary circle, routine is not a very shameful word.

Those with good data are often routine novels.

Those that can become routines have withstood the test of the market and have their own rationality.

Chen Li has such a huge readership, and his writing has gradually developed his own style. If he writes the same routine, he will be more popular than ordinary masters.

You can refer to Little Potato or Three Spoons on this point. Copying your own success will not affect their status.

Among those themes, he chose one that he thought was more exciting and more suitable for Chen Li. He told him that if he wrote it seriously, it would definitely become popular.

As for the specific character design and story structure, they did not discuss this.

Yan Xin didn't mind using his experience of reading online articles in his previous life to give Chen Li advice, but Chen Li didn't mind this very much. He told Yan Xin clearly:
"I just want you to give me an idea today, which subject matter I should choose is more suitable. You don't need to tell me anything else. I hope that everything in this novel is my own, so that I can be more successful. feel."

He said this to Yan Xin with a smile.

The attitude is very clear - just help him choose which subject to write about, and there is no need to give any ideas on the content.

He was not wary of Yan Xin, he was afraid that Yan Xin would ask him for money after he came up with his idea.

He knew that Yan Xin was not that greedy.

And he also knew that Yan Xin had so much wealth now, and it was impossible for him to still be interested in the three melons and two dates he spent writing novels.

He even knew that without Yan Xin's intervention, his novel would definitely lose a lot of its excitement and would not have the same results as the first two novels.

However, he just wanted to write a work that was truly his own.

Even if the level is not that high, it is still my own creation, and everything belongs to me.

The stage was there, the audience was there, and he wanted to start his performance.

This can be regarded as a dream when I was young.

Now that he is not short of money, he has the conditions to pursue his dream.

Yan Xin understood what he meant, so he supported his idea.

During their discussion, Liang Wei didn't say much, but she smiled the whole time and seemed to be in a good mood. Their son is already two years old and can talk now, but he is a little noisy.

But it also made the family more lively and popular.

Now the child's household registration is still in the United States, which makes Chen Li a little unhappy, and he even complained to Yan Xin.

He didn't like that country.

However, when the child turns 18, he can choose his nationality again.

So this is not a big problem.

Now he has changed his mind again.

After dinner, he also talked to Yan Xin about the nationality of his children, smiled and said:

"Fortunately, my son was born in the United States and his nationality is American."

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment: "Why do you say that? Do you like the United States now?"

"No, I still don't have a good impression of this country, but he is an American national, which saves me a lot of trouble." Chen Lida said.

"What's the matter?" Yan Xin asked.

"My wife is pregnant again," Chen Li said. "If she gives birth, won't she be pregnant? But my son was born in the United States, and he obtained American nationality. He did not occupy our country's fertility quota, so he will have another baby." If there is no problem at all, doesn’t it mean that a child is wasted?”

As he spoke, he laughed.

Smiling quite happily.

Yan Xin was shocked: "Are you going to be a father again?"

"Yes!" Chen Lida said, "It's been more than three months. They say you can't tell others within three months of pregnancy. Now that it's three months later, you can tell it."

"Congratulations!" Yan Xin was very happy for him.

For a family like Chen Li, having more children is not something they cannot afford, and there is absolutely no need to have just one.

But he still felt a little strange: "Didn't you not want children before? You found it troublesome to have a child, so why do you want to have another one now?"

Speaking of the past, Chen Li was still a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I was still young at that time, and some of my ideas were not very mature. Now I feel that it is better to have children. What kind of family is a family without children? What? After having a child, I thought that it would be too lonely to have no brothers and sisters, so I thought about having another child. It would be better to have a companion."

"In a few years, you might change your mind and think about having more children." Yan Xin said with a smile.

"It's not impossible," Chen Li nodded, "The worst possible outcome is to go to the United States to study."

Then he asked Yan Xin: "You have been married for more than a year. When are you going to have a child?"

Yan Xin was embarrassed to tell him that he already had a son and a daughter. He shrugged and said:
"It depends on God's will. When you have a child, you have a child."

Chen Li whispered: "There are several women around you. You can let each of them give birth to one for you. It's not like you can't afford it anyway."

Yan Xin smiled and said: "How can one be enough? At least two must be born."

Chen Li calculated it and looked at him: "That's a bit too much."

"You can afford to raise them anyway," Yan Xin said, "The more the better. The more children, the greater the chance of becoming talented. If there is one who can support them, everyone can live a good life."

"Aren't you afraid of the kind of grievances between wealthy families in TV dramas where brothers compete for family property?" Chen Li asked him with a smile.

Yan Xin pondered for a while and then said honestly:
"To be honest, I'm a little worried. With too many children, there will inevitably be a mixed bag of good and bad, and it's not impossible that there will be a bloody drama over family property. But, there is still a long time to come, and I think we should be able to figure out a way. Avoid this from happening.”

To say that all of your children are united and friendly is a bit too idealistic.

However, Yan Xin still felt that he should be able to find a way to avoid such bloody drama.

If you really can't do it anymore, then you should be the villain yourself, divide the family property well, and let those who are capable bear greater responsibilities.

If you don't have the ability, you can set up a trust fund to provide for your children. This is also a way to leave your children with a way to be rich for generations.

The two talked about the children, and at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Yan Xin said goodbye and went home.

When I got home, I found that the lights in the living room were on.

I thought it was Gu Ru and Shu Yi who were back again.

As a result, I went over and saw that it was Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin had already finished taking a shower and was sitting on the sofa wrapped in pajamas watching TV.

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yin was also stunned for a moment: "As your woman, isn't it unreasonable for me to come to your house when there is no other woman around you?"

She has the key to Yan Xin's house in her hand. It was there a long time ago. At that time, she was not Yan Xin's woman.

When she asked this question, Yan Xin felt a little embarrassed - many times, he preferred to regard Xiao Yin as his subordinate rather than his woman.

In fact, the reason why he had a relationship with Xiao Yin was just to retain this capable subordinate - at that time, Xiao Yin was threatening him. If there was no ambiguous relationship, he might choose to change jobs and become his competitor.

They didn't sign a non-competition agreement, so Yan Xin really couldn't bear such a loss.

It is also for this reason that he does not regard Xiao Yin as his woman.

Of course, we had sex several times later, and we felt pleasure when we had sex.

It just looks like there is no emotion at all.

However, now that Xiao Yin regards himself as his woman, he is embarrassed to say that our relationship is just a work relationship.

He laughed dryly and defended himself:
"Of course it makes sense. It's just that you left last night after saying you still had things to do. I thought you were quite busy with work now and probably didn't have time to come here, so it was a little strange."

Xiao Yin said: "Now I am not too busy at work. I usually go to and from get off work normally."

"Then why did you leave yesterday?" Yan Xin asked.

Xiao Yin glanced at him and smiled:

"Two young women were at your house last night. If I stay, are you sure you can handle it?"

Yan Xin wanted to brag, but thinking about it, he was almost drained last night. When he got up this morning, his legs were a little light and dangling.

If there is another Xiao Yin, it will really be unbearable.

But he knew in his heart that Xiao Yin left mainly because he didn't want to join in the fun with other women.

He couldn't make it clear, so he could only smile, hold her hand, and said with emotion:

"You should be nice to me and consider my body. Those two women are too crazy and not considerate at all."

"You were ravaged by the two of them yesterday, are you okay today?" Xiao Yin asked him.

There was some provocation and some desire in his eyes.

When it comes to loneliness, she is more lonely than Yan Xin's other women.

Yan Xin smiled: "Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know."
