Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

The three women all know his temper very well: he is very rigorous and serious at work, but he is more casual at ordinary times, and he often likes to play harp.

Du Shuangling asked expectantly: "Dear, we are just one short of the Locus Award. Do you think you can win it?"

Hearing this question, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu both raised their heads and stared at him.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, then said thoughtfully: "The two most popular science fiction novels in the world in the past two years are my "Clockwork Girl" and "A Song of Ice and Fire". There are no strong competitors.

Logically speaking, I should be able to win the Locus Award.

But I am not completely sure. Because of my status, I cannot rule out the possibility that some people in the West are deliberately disgusting me. "

Zou Qingzhu couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you very popular in the West?

You didn’t offend anyone. You both received the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, so you shouldn’t embarrass others like this, right? "

Zhang Xuan nodded and shook his head: "You have also studied history. Many celebrities in history suddenly encountered disasters. Most of them had a common reason, and that was "unwarranted charges."

Behind the unfounded accusations, there is often jealousy. "

With Du Shuangling present, Wen Hui rarely asked: "Is there any way to take preventive measures in advance?"

Zhang Xuan took out his mobile phone and said: "Yes, I will call Xie Qi and ask her to communicate with Penguin Publishing.

For the sake of the sales of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and for the two parties to continue to happily cooperate with each other on the next book, I think Penguin Publishing will be happy to take action.

Once the other party takes action to protect the company, Penguin Publishing's influence should be stable. "

Zhang Xuan dialed Xie Qi's phone number.

"Congratulations! Boss." Xie Qi's particularly happy voice came from over there.

"Thanks!"

Zhang Xuan thanked him, then directly explained his purpose, and finally said: "Although the Locus Award is not as influential as the Hugo Award and Nebula Award, it is very important to us, and it depends on you."

Knowing that it was difficult for him to directly communicate with Penguin Publishing about the award due to his status, Xie Qi took over the responsibility: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and then said: "Tell them that the fourth volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire", "A Feast for Crows", will be delivered to them next spring."

Xie Qi asked: "There is a name, are you writing it down?"

Zhang Xuan replied: "The outline has been conceived."

Xie Qi said: "Well, with this news, I believe Penguin Publishing will be very motivated."

Zhang Xuan asked: "It's been a month since the third volume of "Storm of Ice and Rain" was released. How is the result?"

Xie Qi said happily: "Good! Very good! Thanks to the high-quality reputation passed down by word of mouth, thanks to the rich accumulation of the first two volumes, and with Penguin Publishing's spare no effort in publicity, the third volume has been sold in 62 countries and The region has completely experienced an outbreak.

As of today, it has been on the market for 39 days and has sold a total of 22.69 million copies. "

Zhang Xuan is very sensitive to money. He did some mental calculations and was surprised: "So much? Did you bring me 118 million pounds in 39 days?"

Xie Qi was even more excited than him: "Yes, that's so many! This month's results are on par with the fourth installment of "Harry Potter".

In the global book sales rankings, Harry Potter currently firmly occupies the first place, followed by "A Song of Ice and Fire" in the second place. "

Hearing that he made a profit of 118 million pounds in 39 days from one book, even the three women who already knew that he was very rich were still shocked.

I was really shocked beyond measure!

Zou Qingzhu has the most direct personality and couldn't help but quietly ask the two women:

"Shuangling, Huihui, what is the current exchange rate?"

Because she had heard him talk to Tao Ge and Lao Deng on the phone, Du Shuangling knew the exchange rate in May relatively well: "The exchange rate has gone up. One pound can be exchanged for 13 yuan."

Hearing this, Zou Qingzhu quickly took the calculator from the coffee table and pressed it for a while. In the next second, his facial expression changed from shock to fear:

“Oh my God, my God! Isn’t this converted into 1.54 billion yuan?

1.54 billion in 39 days! ! ! "

Hearing this, Du Shuangling and Wen Hui looked at the calculator. After a few seconds of trance, the two women looked up at each other at the same time, and then looked at Zhang Xuan in tacit understanding. They were so surprised that they didn't know how to express their joy. .

Du Shuangling showed this joy on his face, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, looking at her man on the phone affectionately.

But Wen Hui hid her happiness in her heart and quietly looked at the man on the sofa opposite.

After being numb for a while, Zou Qingzhu came back to his senses and glanced at Du Shuangling on the right, and then at Wen Hui on the left.

Zou Qingzhu secretly exclaimed: I am just a super light bulb!

The rankings of these two works were within his expectation. Zhang Xuan continued to ask: "Is Clockwork Girl still ranked?"

Xie Qi looked down at the data report for a while, and later answered truthfully: "Last month, "Clockwork Girl" sold 80,000 copies, and it has fallen out of the top ten of the global bestseller list."

Hearing that the "Clockwork Girl" who had brought him great glory had come to an end, the old man was in a daze.

But he knows this is the law of nature. After all, in the history of book sales, there are not many bestsellers that can capture the book market for a long time like "Harry Potter" and "A Song of Ice and Fire."

After being dazed for a moment, Zhang Xuan turned to ask about the Arsenal Club, "The Premier League is about to end. How is the situation now? Tell me."

She is currently in charge of the club, and her performance is related to her ability to work. Xie Qi attaches great importance to it, straightens up and answers seriously:

"There is still the last round of games tomorrow. In the standings, Arsenal ranks first, 4 points ahead of Manchester United in second place, and 5 points ahead of Newcastle in third place. We have already locked in the Premier League championship and next season's Champions League in advance. A spot in the main draw.”

Zhang Xuan was very satisfied with the results and shouted: "Good!"

Then he couldn't wait to ask: "How many goals has Ronaldo scored?"

Xie Qi said: "The 35 goals broke the record of 34 goals held by Andy Cole in the 1992-93 season and Alan Ciller in the 1994-95 season. The Premier League Golden Boot is already in Ronaldo's bag."

Zhang Xuan was a little confused after hearing 35 goals, and then took it for granted.

The reason why a generation of football kings is called a football king is of course because of his excellence.

He is looking forward to it, looking forward to Ronaldo winning the World Footballer.

After praising Arsenal Club's achievements, at a certain moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly thought of the great writer who often wooed him.

Finally, he asked: "How is Rowling's Manchester City?"

Xie Qi is obviously very familiar with Manchester City: "They are ranked fifth in the league. Although there is still one round left, they have missed the top four and missed out on a place in the Champions League next season."

Zhang Xuan said with emotion: "It's a pity that we missed it."

Xie Qi also said: "It's really a pity, just a little bit. Luo Lin was depressed about this for several days."

Zhang Xuan reminded: "A while ago, I heard a friend say that there are many outstanding talents in the youth training team of Sporting CP. Please pay attention and pay more attention. If there is someone you really like, we must strike first."

With Ronaldo's magic touch in front, Xie Qi was very superstitious about the boss's mysterious operations.

He immediately agreed: "Okay, I will send the club's best scout over."

The reason why he said this was entirely because there was someone he wanted in the Portuguese youth training, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Anyway, he had already thought about it and let Xie Qi find someone by herself first.

If Xie Qi didn't find Ronaldo, or didn't like Ronaldo, then he would have to personally intervene and let them see the rights of the boss and the offensive of Jinyuan Football.

Ronaldo is determined and no one can stop him.

The call lasted a long time, and it didn't end until the phone ran out of battery.

Holding the hot phone in his hand, Zhang Xuan stood up and said, "You guys chat, I'm back in the study, you don't need to call me for lunch."

…

Time has quietly arrived in June, and the countdown to graduation has begun.

Recently, Zhang Xuan has to stay in the dormitory for one night every now and then.

The same goes for Du Shuangling, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu, even more frequently than him, staying in the girls' dormitory two nights a week.

Shen Fan, who basically moved out of his dormitory when he saw Zhang Xuan coming back, often ran back from the scrap collection station.

Even the little prince Li Zheng, who stayed up all night, was much more diligent.

Looking at Li Zheng, Zhang Xuan, like Shen Fan, Wei Zisen, and Ou Ming, had lost interest in comforting him. They all said that their health was failing, but they were still wandering among different women. This was the rhythm of yearning for the Sunflower Book.

Damn it, do you think you, Uncle Jia and I, can do it in 5 minutes or 7 minutes?

In fact, the reason why there is no more consolation is that everyone is mature and no longer uses their own thinking to judge others.

Moreover, Li Zheng's health was in such a condition, but he couldn't even take care of his crotch. In addition, he was repeatedly exposed about beating women, so his status in the hearts of a few people inevitably declined.

There is currently a phenomenon in dormitory 303. Zhang Xuan is the core, and Shen Fan, Ou Ming and Wei Zisen are in the same group with him. Li Zheng seemed to be slowly drifting away.

This is also the reason why the four of them didn't say a word except that they felt it was a pity after learning that Li Zheng's work had been tampered with and that he was moved from Yangcheng to a small town in Shunde.

Even in the verbal conversation, the four people recognized Wan Jun more than Li Zheng.

Although Wan Jun is confused, he is still very loyal. Except for the fact that he was young and energetic and could not resist the temptation of the boss lady of Baise, he can be regarded as a person who is constantly striving for self-improvement and very principled.

Of course, as graduation is approaching, no matter how your relationship is? No matter how much Xiao Jiujiu is in my heart? Now they are all gone, all gone. Every time the two dormitories meet, everyone is present, and the atmosphere is great. It can be said that they are reunited and happy.

Ever since he realized that Dong Ziyu was pretending to be Zhang Xuan, Li Zheng was very discerning and behaved every time he saw Dong Ziyu, even his eyes of admiration could not be restrained.

For him, Li Zheng, although Dong Ziyu was a woman he had truly loved, it was only wishful love.

Li Zheng knew very well that Dong Ziyu did not belong to him, and he would miss her forever in this life. From now on, he could only watch her fly away, or fall into Brother Xuan's arms.

It would be fine if he flew away, but if he fell into Brother Xuan's arms, Li Zheng was shocked. Isn't a woman who dares to blaspheme Brother Xuan looking for death?

Du Shuangling received a call. After the call, he went into the study to massage his shoulders: "Did mom call just now?"

Zhang Xuan tilted his head back and blinked: "Which mother?"

Du Shuangling lowered her head to kiss him and said with a smile: "Two mothers."

Zhang Xuan asked: "What did you say?"

Du Shuangling said: "When we graduated, the two mothers wanted to come to Yangcheng to visit."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "That's just right. After we graduate, we will go back to our hometown with them."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Du Shuangling took the initiative to sit in his arms, put her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, "It's very late, let's rest."

Zhang Xuan put his hand on her chin, half-smiling but not smiling: "Miss me?"

Du Shuangling blushed and pursed her lips: "There have been too many reports about you in the newspapers recently. Your wife reads them every day, and she just thinks about them."

"Ha ha."

Zhang Xuan was very happy, and he made a French romance, and finally said: "That's right! You go and make the bed, I will clear the table and come over."

Du Shuangling knew that there were many monsoons in the summer in Yangcheng, and if it was not kept in order, it would easily cause immeasurable losses, so he immediately said "ok" and went to the master bedroom.

Close the window, put away paper, pen and ink and finish in one go.

When everything was ready and he was about to leave the study, his eyes fell on his mobile phone again. After pondering for a few seconds, he remembered what Mi Jian had told him: come over when I graduate.

With his thoughts at this point, Zhang Xuan took the phone and found Mi Jian's number.

Text: When will you graduate?

Half a minute later, Mi Jian texted back: June 26th, where are you?

Zhang Xuanfa: We will hold the graduation ceremony on June 30th and start leaving school on July 1st.

Mi Jian obviously knew the meaning of his text message this time, and edited the text message: If you are pressed for time, then come to see me after you are done.

Zhang Xuan: No, no matter how many things you have to do, it’s not important to you. I’ll be here on June 26th.

Mi Jian was silent for a long time in front of the text message, and finally replied: OK!
