Chapter 221 Xu Rongsheng’s surprising discovery
February 7, the first day of the official start of the symposium.
After Li Luo was woken up by the alarm clock, he got up from the bed, washed and dressed, and sent a message to his senior sister on the way.
After finishing cleaning up, Li Luo looked at his phone and found that Xu Youyu hadn't replied to him yet. He sighed helplessly, got up and walked out of the room, went to room 9106 next door, and knocked on the door.
After knocking like this for more than a minute, the door finally opened.
Xu Youyu glanced at Li Luo with disheveled hair and dull eyes, muttering something in his mouth.
"Get up, go downstairs for breakfast." Li Luo opened the door and walked in, pressed Xu Youyu's shoulders, pushed her into the bathroom, opened the faucet, soaked some water, and patted her on the forehead.
Being touched by the cold water, Xu Youyu's whole body suddenly trembled, and he suddenly woke up.
"You are out, I can wash myself."
"Hurry up, it's almost eight o'clock." Li Luo reminded, "We still have to have breakfast. There will be a meeting at half past eight.”
"I know."
......
At the same time, Xu Rongsheng, who had rested for a night at the Ji Hotel, had gotten up early and went downstairs with a friend he met at the Writers Association. Have breakfast.
“This morning we are just chatting in the small conference room.” Sun Jingchun from the Writers Association accompanied him and said to Xu Rongsheng, “You can talk about the content of tomorrow’s speech in advance, and we can discuss it a little bit. As for the details, you can have free time in the afternoon. You can go to the West Lake to learn about it.”
When Xu Rongsheng heard what he said, he immediately raised his eyebrows: “Do you want to wait until tomorrow? Can’t see those online writers today? "
" Uh-huh, after all, we are from the Writers Association, and those who write online articles over there belong to the Internet Writers Association. "
Sun Jingchun said with a smile, "Don't you? You know, those who write online articles now are all young guys and girls with very stubborn tempers.”
“In the process of organizing the Online Writers Association, I had already quarreled with many seniors in the Writers Association. , even the leader dared to say a few words.”
“We are also thinking about your reputation and experience, so let’s have a small meeting in private today.”
“The author of the online article. We also have a sharing meeting of our own, so we won’t disturb each other on the first day. Let’s have another communication and exchange tomorrow.”
After listening to what Sun Jingchun said, Xu Rongsheng came back to his senses, laughed repeatedly, and nodded to Sun Jingchun: "We are all friends, and you still tell me these official clichés."
"It's just out of fear. In the speech I prepared, there are some criticisms of online articles. Are you afraid that it will cause criticism and controversy among those young guys?” It’s a problem, you’ll know after you read my manuscript.”
“If you say that, it’s definitely the best thing to do.” Sun Jingchun chuckled, “It’s all just in case. , some professors, scholars and writers who were invited to support the scene will be invited to have a small meeting first."
The two of them confirmed the entire process of today while having breakfast.
At about eight o'clock, Xu Rongsheng finished his breakfast, got up and followed Sun Jingchun out of the restaurant, heading towards the conference room prepared for them today.
At this time.
As soon as Xu Rongsheng was about to enter the elevator, he noticed two people walking out of the elevator farthest from him.
Before he walked into the elevator, he glanced subconsciously and felt that the backs of the two people were inexplicably familiar.
But at this time, the elevator door had been closed, and Xu Rongsheng had an inexplicable expression. Sun Jingchun, who was standing beside him, noticed his strangeness and immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing." Xu Rongsheng laughed and shook his head, "It must be my misunderstanding. I always felt like I saw an acquaintance just now, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be."
Sun Jingchun didn't think much, and led Xu Rong with a smile. The student came to the first floor of the hotel and walked towards the rented conference room next to it.
At the entrance of the restaurant on the second floor, Li Luo and Xu Youyu showed their room cards and were let in. They carried plates and began to select food.
After some cleaning, the two of them took their plates, found a seat by the window, and started eating, not knowing who they had just missed.
"By the way, your prize for this essay competition is a full fifty thousand!" Xu Youyu suddenly thought of this while eating breakfast, and suddenly looked envious, "This is worth all my manuscript fees in the past few months. "
"Really?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows, and then said modestly, "But it seems to be less than a fraction of my last month's royalties, so it's not a lot."
Xu Youyu: "...?"
"Are you still a human being? Such cold words can come out of your mouth."
"Senior sister, I won't ask. How much is my royalties?”
“Haha.” Xu Youyu sneered, “Do you think I’m stupid? Besides, you’ve been at the top of the bestseller list for so long, you’ll know just by looking at it.”
"How can you estimate?"
"I read on the forum that the daily sales of the number one bestseller can be around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which means that the author has more than 10,000 yuan." Xu Youyu said He pointed his finger and said, "If you can stay at the top of the list, you will have three to four hundred thousand in royalties a month."
"But you only stayed for a few days at the beginning of the month, and then you fell down. ”
“Even though the top five and ten are all close together, there is actually a big gap between each one.”
“It is said that it is around tenth place. There is only one hundred thousand yuan left.”
“You have been in the top ten for the last month, and you said that fifty thousand is not even a fraction of your royalties, so it must be between 150,000 and 200,000. "
Xu Youyu seemed very confident with his analysis.
But Li Luo shook his finger and smiled slightly: "It's three hundred and seventy thousand."
"Huh?" When Xu Youyu heard this number, he stopped instantly. Breathing, I just feel like my brain is twitching.
“Three hundred and seventy thousand.”
"I heard it. I was just surprised. You don't have to repeat it." Xu Youyu took a deep breath and tried to keep an expressionless expression on his face. "I really want to stab you to death with a fork. If I had known, I would have treated you to the barbecue last night." "
"It doesn't matter, I'll treat you to dinner for these two days."
"Just two days?" Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows and said, "You have to continue to treat me when you go back on the 9th! Otherwise my wound will never heal!"
"Where did you get the wound?"
"Look." Xu Youyu opened the zipper of his down jacket and pulled the collar of his sweater towards Li. Luo said.
"Look at it!" Li Luo quickly pulled up her down jacket, "You are sick, this is a restaurant! It's not in the room."
"Oh?" Xu Youyu, who had saved the game, looked at him with a half-smile, "You mean, if you were in the room, you would have watched it?"
"What I mean is, don't be casual in public. Pull off your clothes." Li Luo said with a dark face, "Don't misinterpret my meaning at will."
Since the exchange of vests last night, Xu Youyu has become more and more relaxed in front of him.
After all, it was Li Luo who discovered her deepest secret. After sharing the secret, Li Luo actually became the person she had the closest relationship with in private.
Although Xu Youyu himself didn't realize it, this was already revealed in the subconscious process of getting along with him.
......
After breakfast, Li Luo and Xu Youyu followed the guidance signs inside the hotel and went all the way to the conference hall next door.
Yesterday they had already signed in here, received an identity card, and were let in after showing it.
In the past year, almost all the authors who have joined the Qianjiang Provincial Internet Writers Association came here this time.
There were about a hundred participants, only about half of whom were locals, and the other half were bigwigs from other provinces who came to attend the meeting.
After all, Qianjiang Province has had a head start on this matter. The government took the lead in responding to the country’s call for building new entertainment and new literature and established the first provincial-level online writers association in China.
Internet writing has been developing for more than ten years now, from the primitive era to the current golden age step by step.
When the film and television copyrights of Internet articles worth tens of millions were sold one after another, the market suddenly realized that the market for Internet articles should not be underestimated.
The authors who can sit in this conference hall at this moment, if they are local, can say that their achievements are high or low.
The lowest ones are like Xu Youyu, who was lucky enough to participate in the conference only by relying on an essay.
As for those who can be invited from other provinces to participate in the conference, they are all worth tens of millions at least. Although everyone here is a little slovenly and dressed casually, the money earned from writing books is really a solid cash flow.
With millions of cash in hand, he is better off than many small bosses.
In such an atmosphere, as they were all young people, Li Luo and Xu Youyu were not particularly conspicuous.
Occasionally, several authors who just met Li Luo yesterday came over to say hello, and Li Luo responded politely.
Especially because he has a memory palace in his body. As long as everyone here is someone he has met before, he can call out the works corresponding to their pen names one by one.
There are many works that he has read, and he can even tell a few corresponding exciting plots, which makes many authors happy and happy, and they all have a good impression of Li Luo.
In contrast, Xu Youyu seemed to have no interest in this kind of entertainment, and just stayed quietly beside Li Luo without saying a word.
Li Luo also knew Xu Youyu's temper, and he would be cold-blooded with people he didn't know well.
It's not that she keeps people away, it's just that her social energy is limited.
So she just wants to use her energy on the people she cares about, and doesn't want to waste any energy on the people she doesn't care about.
Fortunately, she was just a little Karami, and her performance was not outstanding among this group of authors, so not many people cared about her.
At most, a few male authors occasionally cast their eyes over and asked a few questions out of curiosity.
But after asking the people around me, especially the editor, I learned that the other person was a minor like Xian Ran, so most people restrained their thoughts.
It’s true that she is good-looking, but if she attacks minors, she is somewhat inhumane.
Especially when they saw Xu Youyu and Zhong Ran sitting together, many people also made guesses about the relationship between the two people.
Then I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart.
Look at other people’s magical lives in high school, and then look at yourself.
It’s really worth comparing things.
...When the time came to 8:30, the morning sharing session officially began.
First, the members of the bureau of the Provincial Internet Writers Association came to the stage to give a speech, and then the representatives of writers from various websites shared their experiences.
Three hours passed quickly after a morning's process, and it came to 11:30 noon.
Li Luo felt sleepy after hearing this.
Xu Youyu on the side fell asleep directly on the table.
Li Luo looked around and found that many authors were scrolling through their mobile phones, and some seriously inscribed guys directly brought notebooks to code.
Everyone comes to the conference this time mainly to join in the fun and expand their network. Who would really come here to learn some skills?
If you really need it, chatting with the boss in private will definitely be much better than in such a formal occasion.
After the meeting, there was thunderous applause in the hall, which directly turned into the sound of an alarm clock, waking Xu Youyu up from his sleep.
Li Luo patted Xu Youyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's time for lunch, senior sister, let's go, get out of class is over."
"Is it finally over?" Xu Youyu yawned, stood up with Li Luo, and walked towards the exit of the conference hall.
"Reignite, go to bed early!" Qianzhou rushed over from the hotel and shouted to the two of them.
Because Qianzhou is the editor-in-chief, he is not a member of the Writers Association. He just followed the editor-in-chief Hongdou to join in the fun and brought two underage authors with him, so he followed.
He had been sleeping in the hotel in the morning and came to see them at meal time.
"Let's go and eat." Li Luo waved to Qianzhou, then looked at Xu Youyu, "Let's go to Yuhang Restaurant and try it. I treated the editor to a meal yesterday. It tasted pretty good. I'll take you with me today. Let’s try it too.”
The three of them traveled together and walked towards Yuhang Restaurant.
At this time, Xu Rongsheng just walked out of the small conference room next to the conference hall, and was led by Sun Jingchun towards a nearby restaurant.
When he walked out of the conference room door, Xu Rongsheng subconsciously glanced at the three figures not far away, and suddenly frowned slightly.
The feeling of déjà vu from before suddenly came to my mind, and I saw the back that seemed familiar before.
But soon, the figure on the other side disappeared at the corner of the street, leaving Xu Rongsheng very confused.
Does he know anyone around here?
I’m not impressed.
And looking at that back, why does it look more and more like his daughter?
But isn’t that girl Xu Youyu supposed to be in Yinjiang District? How could she appear here in the city?
With this question in mind, Xu Rongsheng followed Sun Jingchun to the hotel and called Cui Suling on the way.
"Hello? Are you at home?"
"Oh, you went back to Bihailanting yesterday?"
"Are you sure you went back there? Yesterday You still have dinner at home, right?”
“Oh, I understand.”
“It’s okay, just ask and care about my daughter.”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Rongsheng put the matter behind him and went to have lunch with Sun Jingchun.
As a result, at 12:30 noon, after having a good meal and wine, Xu Rongsheng and Sun Jingchun slowly walked back to the hotel, and met again the back figure that seemed familiar to him before.
At this moment, he had just entered the hotel lobby and saw three figures at the elevator entrance from a distance.
One of the figures is quite similar to his daughter.
So Xu Rongsheng quickly quickened his pace and wanted to confirm.
It happened that the elevator door opened at this time, and the three figures walked into the elevator. It was too late.
But Xu Rongsheng suddenly stopped, watched the elevator door in front of him being closed, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Um...what's wrong with you? You were walking so fast for a while, and then stopped again." Sun Jingchun on the side was a little confused, and suddenly asked strangely.
"Well...it's nothing." Xu Rongsheng shook his head, still recalling the shocking glimpse just now in his mind.
That side face... To be honest, as a biological father, if you haven't recognized it yet, then you are really incompetent.
But why did his daughter appear in this hotel?
And it was with the two men next to him... Xu Rongsheng thought of this and suddenly recalled it.
The boy standing next to Xu Youyu just now is the male classmate named Li Luo who came to their home last time!
How did they end up in a hotel in the city? !
A thought suddenly appeared in Xu Rongsheng's mind, which startled him, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
My fists clenched instantly.
"Jingchun, can you do me a favor?"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"I have an acquaintance in this hotel, you Can you help me check which room she is in?"
"Huh?" Sun Jingchun frowned immediately after hearing this, "This is not easy to check, after all, the hotel may not know it? I told you, if you want to know, just call and ask your friend.”
Xu Rongsheng took a deep breath and stopped hiding it from him: "What if it's my daughter? Can I ask?"
"Huh?" Sun Jingchun was stunned, a little unresponsive, and looked at Xu Rongsheng With a serious look on his face, he realized that this matter was not a joke, "Well... in that case, I will ask you for it."
