Chapter 150 Showing the wink to the blind man
Because there were a lot of traditional Chinese characters, Xu Youyou couldn't read it very fast, but even so, he still spent so much time reading it that he forgot to eat and sleep.
Even lunch was brought to me by Xu Fang.
Xu Youyou finished the meal in a few bites. She changed her usual habit of taking a nap and read until nine o'clock in the evening. During this period, she just glanced at many messages on her mobile phone and skipped them.
After reading the whole book, Xu Youyou still couldn't come to her senses for a long time. When she took a shower, her mind was still full of "the white earth is so clean."
When Xu Youyou thought about the ending of the manuscript, she felt as if she had had a long dream, but she really responded to the title of the book. She lay on the bed and almost forced herself to fall asleep.
Early the next morning, she also changed her usual habit of snoozing and woke up at five o'clock. Xu Youyou simply got up from the bed, put on her pajamas and entered the study.
Mr. Zhang's old books were placed in the study room and sorted into categories.
"Boss?" Xu Fang's hesitant face appeared outside the ajar door of the study. She got up very early and heard the noise and entered the study. She didn't expect that it was her boss who usually got up at ten o'clock.
Xu Youyou asked: "Did you organize these books?"
Xu Fang nodded.
Xu Fang now has a basic salary of 60,000 yuan a month without bonus. Her main job is still driving. She always feels that it is not enough and always wants to do more for Xu Youyou. She took the initiative to tidy up the study room.
"Have you seen Mr. Zhang's manuscript?" Xu Youyou asked.
Xu Fang took Xu Youyou directly to a row of bookcases in the corner: "These are all his manuscripts, almost all of them are research manuscripts for "A Dream of Red Mansions"."
Xu Youyou took a look and saw that it was indeed the case. She was so motivated to read the entire book "Dream of Red Mansions" that she was eager to read one or two other people's reviews to relieve her inner uneasiness.
She guessed that Mr. Zhang should have some research materials left behind, but she didn't expect that to be the case. When she read more carefully, she couldn't help but sigh at the depth of the old man's research. Details that Xu Youyou hadn't noticed when reading were all found in the old man's research. out.
On the side, Xu Fang watched Xu Youyou engrossed in reading, and left the study quietly. A few minutes later, she brought a coat of Xu Youyou's, as well as a simple breakfast and hot milk on a tray.
"You have done a good job. Starting next month, the basic salary will be raised to 100,000." Xu Youyou said.
Xu Fang's performance during the trip to the capital was perfect. Xu Fang helped to fill in many details that Xu Youyou had not noticed. Such an assistant is worth so much money.
Xu Fang almost thought she was dreaming. She almost suppressed her excitement and said, "Thank you, boss."
After leaving the study, Xu Fang jumped several times in the carpeted corridor, following a boss whose efforts could be seen. She really wanted to give her life to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou hurriedly took a few bites of breakfast without putting down the old man's manuscript. When the clock in the study room pointed to ten o'clock, the phone rang suddenly. Xu Youyou glanced at the caller and it was Lu Jingyao.
"You didn't reply to my message yesterday. I'm afraid you were busy here. Will calling you bother you now?" Lu Jingyao asked.
Across the phone, Xu Youyou couldn't feel the anxiety on the other side. She was still immersed in that world.
"No interruption..." Xu Youyou felt that her voice was a little unreal.
Lu Jingyao naturally noticed something was wrong with her immediately, and immediately became nervous and asked, "Did something happen?"
He was thinking about waiting to hang up the phone and rushed to the capital overnight, wanting to know Xu Youyou's situation as soon as possible.
Xu Youyou hesitated for a moment and then said: "There is a very famous author. Everyone always thought that he had stopped writing, but in fact he wrote the finale, but the ending has never been seen again."
Lu Jingyao felt relieved after hearing this, thinking that he was just reading a novel and nothing else happened to Xu Youyou, so he asked instead: "Is the novel a tragic ending?"
Xu Youyou sighed: "Everyone knows it's a tragedy, but now we know why." Lu Jingyao didn't have the habit of reading novels, but he cared about Xu Youyou very much, so he asked: "Which novel are you reading? It sounds like It’s a good book.”
"A Dream of Red Mansions."
Lu Jingyao:! ! !
Xu Youyou felt Lu Jingyao's uneasiness coming from the earphones.
Lu Jingyao thought that Xu Youyou seemed to be particularly good at digging for treasures: "Did you get the follow-up manuscript in the capital? Is it Mr. Cao's original manuscript?"
The Dream of Red Mansions is different for the Chinese people. It is like the most gorgeous dream of the splendid civilization in the past. Everyone hopes that it will be seen again in its complete state.
Xu Youyou said: "I don't know if it is the original manuscript, but all the holes buried in the front have been filled in later, and it also confirms the saying 'a thousand reds cry, a thousand colors are the same sorrow', I think it is completely in line with Cao Gong's original intention."< br>
After Lu Jingyao hesitated for a moment, he asked: "Can I..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Youyou said directly: "Yes."
"I will send you the photos of the manuscript I took later, but I hope you can keep them secret for the time being."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Lu Jingyao couldn't help but wonder at this moment whether Xu Youyou's willingness to share such an important thing with him meant that his status in her heart was different now.
"Thank you." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou said casually: "You lent me Zhao Mengfu's copybook as soon as you asked for it. Why should you be polite to me for such a small thing?"
Lu Jingyao continued: "I have another unkind request. My parents are Red Mansions lovers. Can you let them take a look? I will say hello to them and the manuscript will never be circulated outside."
Because Xu Youyou believed in Lu Jingyao and was willing to believe in the Lu family, with his pride, he would definitely not do anything contrary to his promise.
Even if an accidental manuscript leak happened, Lu Jingyao would definitely find ways to compensate her.
"Don't use the Internet to transmit such an important manuscript. I'll ask Assistant Liu to pick it up in person." Lu Jingyao said proactively.
Seeing him struggling like this, Xu Youyou simply said: "I will return to Shanghai in two days. Then you can come directly to my house to save Assistant Liu from running back and forth."
Lu Jingyao naturally agreed. Xu Youyou was not the kind of girl who was easy to please, and he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to interact with her more.
"By the way, why did you send me a message yesterday?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao said: "I want to ask you when you will return to Shanghai."
Xu Youyou felt very strange and asked: "I'm back in Shanghai, do you have anything to do with me?"
Lu Jingyao was a little confused by Xu Youyou's straight shot, and couldn't help but glare at Assistant Liu on the side. It seemed that this way of chasing people with greetings from time to time was out of date.
"Tell me when you come back and I will pick you up at the airport." Lu Jingyao said.
Xu Youyou felt strange after hearing this: "My car is parked at the airport, no one needs to pick it up."
Lu Jingyao:……
Lu Jingyao wanted to glare at Assistant Liu again, and he kept glaring at Assistant Liu, but all his flirtatious looks were thrown at the blind man.
