Chapter 52: July and An Sheng (reporting January's results)
"Ye Gucheng, your "E.com Love Deep" has not been updated for two days. Will it be interrupted again today, right?"
"Is there any manuscript left? When will it be completed?"
"Yucheng, are you really only nineteen years old? Or a college student?"
“…”
Everyone was very interested in Lin Weidong, a college student author who could write the online novel "E-Net Love Deep". They all surrounded Lin Weidong and asked many questions in a verbal way.
Among them are the eloquent AVA, the kindergarten uncle with a beautéed face, the hard-earned flowers on the outside and the soft rain, and the two cute Dutch mice were raised by her.
In addition, there are the gentle and sensible Haiping, the handsome and handsome Xiao Fei, the handsome and proficient in Japanese English, the talented and magnanimous Ning Caishen, and Xing Yusen, who looks very much like an engineer from a doctorate in engineering.
Lin Weidong is a person who is not good at speaking and is not good at dealing with others. He chats with several people at the same time. He basically answers honestly and rarely asks other people's questions on his own initiative.
After finally dealing with them, Lin Weidong found his free time and looked at Anne sitting in the corner.
When Lin Weidong looked at Annie, Annie happened to be looking at him, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly.
Annie's eyes couldn't help but fall on the backpack slung on Lin Weidong's shoulder and asked, "Guncheng, are you looking for a place to live?"
Lin Weidong denied: "Sister Annie, I just got off the plane and came to visit under your banyan tree."
Anne nodded and said, "Oh, that's it, then I'll take you to find a place to settle down first."
Lin Weidong originally wanted to refuse, but considering that he was not familiar with the place in Shanghai, he was also very good to have a guide, so he immediately thanked him: "Well, okay, please trouble Sister Anne."
After a brief farewell to several new friends, the two walked out of the office under the banyan tree one after another.
Anne walked in front and asked, "Gucheng, didn't you say you would come to Shanghai in two days? Why did you come here today?"
Lin Weidong heard a little bit of blame from Annie's tone and hurriedly smiled and said, "I can't wait, it's not bad for these two days anyway."
Anne asked, "Don't you need to attend classes in your school?"
Lin Weidong said frankly: "Yes, but I have already asked for leave."
"How many days have you asked for?" Anne asked again.
"About ten days." Lin Weidong said vaguely.
Hearing Lin Weidong's answer, Annie suddenly stopped and stared at Lin Weidong for a while. She was obviously suspicious of his answer, but she just sighed softly, said nothing more, and then walked forward.
Anne should be happy in Shanghai alone, at least she has enough material guarantees and financial resources. She doesn't have to go to work on time under the banyan tree every day, and she can get off work at any time. In addition, she has a group of friends who are not many but have good relationships and like-minded. For her, she is already very happy and satisfied.
She lives next to a ja area business circle. This is a very good apartment. Although there are only a few high-rise buildings, the property management is still very good, so most of the people living here are people with financial foundations.
Although Anne is not one of them at present, because the boss under the banyan tree is willing to spend money on the employees, she has become one of them.
Annie's baby lives in a two-bedroom apartment. Knowing that Lin Weidong is coming to Shanghai to participate in the competition this time, she specially made a room for him two days ago as Lin Weidong's temporary residence.
Lin Weidong thought Annie was taking her to a hotel, but she didn't expect Annie to take her home directly. She was obviously very surprised: "Sister Annie, is this where you live?"
"Yeah." Annie nodded.
Lin Weidong thought for a while and said, "Then I'd better go out and live outside. If others know about it, it will not affect you."
When Annie heard Lin Weidong's words, she said to Lin Weidong earnestly in the tone of an elder and a junior: "Gucheng, you are still a student and a consumer. There is no need to spend money in the hotel. You can stay at my sister's place in the next few days."
Before Lin Weidong answered, Annie then said: "Shanghai's consumption level is very high. Don't think that novels are rich if published in Taiwan. I always tell you that your little royalty is probably not enough for you to spend a few days in this city."
Lin Weidong thought about it for a while and felt that Annie was right. The round-trip air tickets, train tickets, plus food, clothing, housing and transportation, were indeed a huge amount.
Obviously, Lin Weidong's current savings are not enough to support him in the city of Shanghai.
Lin Weidong was not arrogant either and said gratefully: "Then thank you Sister Annie."
"You're welcome." After Annie said that, she began to help Lin Weidong clean up the room.
After settling down, Lin Weidong wanted to invite Annie to a nearby restaurant for dinner to thank her for her help, but Annie refused.
Anne said earnestly: "Eating outside is very expensive, so you should save some money for yourself. I will cook tonight and treat you."
Lin Weidong felt sorry for it and hurriedly said, "Then I'll go out to buy vegetables."
Anne shook her head: "No, the vegetables I bought in the morning have not been cooked yet, and they are still frozen in the refrigerator."
Lin Weidong nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try my sister's skills."
Annie also smiled and said, "Just don't think it's too edible."
Annie is a very particular woman. If Lin Weidong told her earlier that he would come to Shanghai today, then Annie would definitely go to the far market to buy ingredients very early, just to choose the freshest and most natural vegetables. When cooking this way, the simplest and most primitive cooking method can restore the original taste of the food.
Cooking has always been Anne's interest. She usually cooks at home, and has not added chicken essence, MSG and various seasonings for many years. She uses oil and salt, cooks or steams, and is the true food.
However, Lin Weidong has always been picky about eating, likes to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and is not very keen on steamed food.
Moreover, the food Annie cooked was very light, which made Lin Weidong feel unsatisfied, as if something was missing. Perhaps because it was not stir-fried with fire, it was not fragrant enough?
Of course, Lin Weidong just thought about these ideas in his heart. He would never tell Annie in person. After all, she was cooking and treating guests herself. How could a person who could eat and live freely? How could he say that the cooking was not delicious?
After eating and drinking, Lin Weidong took the initiative to take care of the dishes. Annie didn't say anything, wiped her mouth with paper, and went back to her room to write at her desk.
Lin Weidong packed up the dishes and when he passed by Annie's room, he saw that Annie's door was not closed. She was sitting at the desk writing, so he walked over and knocked on the door.
"Sister Annie, can I let me in?"
"Come in." Annie turned around and nodded to Lin Weidong.
Annie's room was very clean, unlike those little girls who had many colorful things. Apart from some necessary daily necessities, the most items in her room should be books of all kinds.
"Sister Annie, why are there so many books in your room?" Lin Weidong sighed.
Annie looked up at Lin Weidong and said, "Guncheng? If you feel bored by being alone, find a book to read by yourself."
After obtaining Annie's consent, Lin Weidong briefly read the books and found that Annie's books were very complicated. Except for "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", they were basically something he had never read before, and many of them were even heard of, such as "Monks and Philosophers", "Orchids of the Valley", "Under the Sun of Tuscany", "Floubert's Parrot", "City of God", "The Path of the Pure Land", etc.
However, Lin Weidong didn't know that the books of writers such as Sanmao, Yishu, Duras, Zhang Ailing, Huang Biyun, Borges, and Lu Xun were also very popular with Annie.
In fact, in his previous life, Lin Weidong also liked reading books very much, but the one he read the most was the books written by Han Han. Later, Han Han played racing, wrote blogs, and released records. He also became a film director, almost completely forgot his identity as a writer.
Therefore, Lin Weidong's reading volume is extremely limited, so he can imagine his literary level.
He really didn't want to read books and was bored, so Lin Weidong moved a chair, sat at Annie's desk, and asked curiously: "Sister Annie, are you writing articles or novels?"
Annie didn't think Lin Weidong was annoying, and she wrote and answered: "Novel."
Lin Weidong asked again: "Have you named this novel? What's the name?"
Annie looked up at the ceiling, thought for a while before saying, "July and Ansheng."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Weidong looked at Annie incredibly and said to herself that it turned out that the original novel of the movie "July and Ansheng" was written by her...
In Lin Weidong's impression, although he had never watched the movie "July and Ansheng", he also knew that Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun both won the Best Actress Award at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards because of this movie.
It can be seen from this that the quality of the novel "July and Ansheng" should be OK, otherwise it would be difficult to be remade into a movie, let alone win an award.
You know, before that, Lin Weidong always thought that Annie Baby, like Guo Jingming, could only write novels that complain without any illness.
