All along, when Feng Huacheng got along with Zhou Rong, he mostly let Zhou Rong go, not only because Zhou Rong was more than ten years younger than him, but also because Feng Huacheng owed her.
At that time, he had an affair during marriage and corresponded with Zhou Rong. Although he thought that he and Zhou Rong only had a platonic relationship and did not have an affair physically.
But later Zhou Rong ran to Guizhou desperately for him. To be honest, Feng Huacheng was very moved and even felt that he owed Zhou Rong a lot.
But love has a shelf life. When the heat of love slowly fades, all the beauty is smoothed away by the trivialities of life, Feng Huacheng's debt to Zhou Rong is also eliminated, and the couple quarrels more and more.
A year ago, Zhou Rong offered not to work in order to take the college entrance examination, which finally made Feng Huacheng forget to be patient for the first time.
The couple had a big fight about work and had a cold war for several days.
Although Zhou Rong finally compromised and went out to find a job as a cashier, the couple quarreled every day.
A month ago, Feng Huacheng promised his brother-in-law to help him find a house in the capital, but Zhou Rong had a quarrel with him, and they are still in a cold war to this day.
Originally, Feng Huacheng didn't want to bring Zhou Rong to dinner, but he also knew in his heart that his relationship with his brother-in-law was really average, and it was almost impossible for him to help him speak well in front of the editors in Xiangjiang.
So Feng Huacheng went to Zhou Rong, said all kinds of good things, and tried to be humble, so that Zhou Rong agreed to attend the dinner.
Before coming, Feng Huacheng had repeatedly warned Zhou Rong not to talk nonsense. She just had to sit down and eat quietly.
As a result, Zhou Rong got into a fight with Wang Gang as soon as she arrived. She also doubted the identity of the editor in Xiangjiang and offended people as soon as she opened her mouth. Feng Huacheng felt very embarrassed.
When Zhou Rong is embarrassed, he loses face. How can Feng Huacheng endure it?
Feng Huacheng scolded Zhou Rong directly: "Zhou Rong, what are you doing? Where is your upbringing?"
Wang Gang's face was gloomy, and Xia Chenglong sat aside and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you so mean to me? Did I say something wrong? This Xiangjiang editor is fake at first glance. He must have been hired by Wang Gang to deceive us."
Zhou Rong never felt that she was wrong.
Feng Huacheng was speechless. You have prejudices against your brother, so you have to be smart!
Why did your brother lie to you? What's the benefit of lying to you? This is obviously impossible. Why can't you turn around?
Wang Gang couldn't bear it anymore and threw a cup of tea directly on Zhou Rong's face.
Zhou Rong was confused, Feng Huacheng was dumbfounded, and Xia Chenglong was even more embarrassed.
"How dare you splash me?!" Zhou Rong looked at Wang Gang in disbelief with her face covered with tea.
Wang Gang's cup of tea had been sitting for a long time, but it wasn't hot at all. Except for Zhou Rong's face and clothes being a little wet, her body was fine, but her heart was hurting a lot.
Growing up, she, Zhou Rong, was the treasure of the family. Later she came to Guizhou and became a teacher, and was highly respected. She had never been so humiliated.
"Have you had enough trouble?" Wang Gang glanced at Zhou Rong coldly and said, "I didn't invite you to dinner at all. You just came here and you want to offend my friends. You are not welcome here. Get out of here."
.”
Wang Gang let Zhou Rong go because he was worried about Li Suhua's health.
Now that Li Suhua is in Jichun, Wang Gang has no scruples. He scolds when he needs to and takes action when he needs to.
"I'll fight with you." Zhou Rong rushed towards Wang Gang like crazy, the grievance in her heart had overcome her reason.
Feng Huacheng had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged Zhou Rong to prevent her from making the matter worse.
But he stopped Zhou Rong, but not Wang Gang.
Wang Gang stood up directly and slapped Zhou Rong on the face.
Snapped!
This slap stunned everyone.
Zhou Rong was even more stunned.
Feng Huacheng subconsciously let go of his hand.
Xia Chenglong thought about whether he should leave first. It seemed inappropriate to sit here as an outsider.
Wang Gang said to Zhou Rong with a cold face: "Did this slap wake you up?"
Zhou Rong dazedly touched her beaten face, mist slowly building up in her eyes.
"You dare to hit me, you actually dare to hit me." Zhou Rong said with trembling lips.
Wang Gang said without any guilt: "Why don't I dare to hit you? You came here and went crazy, disrupted my big things, and wanted to hit me like a shrew. Can't I fight back?"
Zhou Rong burst into tears.
Wang Gang was not used to Zhou Rong and shouted angrily: "If you want to cry, go home and cry. Don't be an eyesore in front of me."
Feng Huacheng reacted completely, hugged Zhou Rong and pulled her out.
"Bingkun, I'm sorry, I will take your sister away right now."
Zhou Rongshe screamed hysterically: "Zhou Bingkun, if you can, beat me to death, otherwise this matter will never end."
Feng Huacheng hugged Zhou Rong and walked straight out, fearing that if he was a step too late, things would be irreversible.
After the two left, Wang Gang sat down again.
"Teacher Xia, I'm sorry, I made you laugh. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child. She speaks and does things without thinking, and acts impulsively. Don't take it to heart."
Xia Chenglong smiled awkwardly and said it was okay. He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip to hide his discomfort.
Just when he didn't know what to say, Wu Sansheng walked in.
After entering the door, Wu Sansheng did not notice the strange atmosphere in the private room.
"Mr. Zhou, I have contacted Xiangjiang and the president has agreed to your proposal, but some details need to be added."
Wu Sansheng discussed business matters as soon as he arrived, which made Xia Chenglong relax.
"What our president means is that there is no problem with the tiered sharing, but the sales volume needs to be changed, 5% for Southeast Asian sales of less than 500,000 copies, 10% for sales between 500,000 and 1 million copies, and 15% for 1 million to 2 million copies.
, 20% for more than two million." Wu Sansheng said.
Wang Gang thought for a while and said: "This share ratio is okay, but the sales statistics period will be extended, at least three years."
The two started bargaining based on the specific details, and the waiter didn't stop serving the food.
Xia Chenglong didn't eat any food at the side. Instead, he took out paper and pen to record the opinions of both parties, acting as a secretary.
The two discussed for an hour and basically agreed on the contract. Xia Chenglong wrote a first draft of the contract and asked Wang Gang and Wu Sansheng to see if there were any problems.
When it was Wang Gang's turn, there was a knock on the door, and Feng Huacheng walked in.
"Bingkun, I sent your sister back."
Feng Huacheng greeted Xia Chenglong and Wu Sansheng again without any abnormality.
Wang Gang discovered that Feng Huacheng was more shameless than he thought.
If something like that just happened to an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to come back!
Feng Huacheng directly pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling to Wu Sansheng and Xia Cheng.
Wu Sansheng and Xia Chenglong couldn't drive him away for Wang Gang's sake.
"Boy, these are some poems I usually write. I hope you can give me some advice."
Feng Huacheng took out a stack of letter paper from his bag and handed it to Wu Sansheng and Xia Chenglong as if to sell it.
The two of them glanced at Wang Gang, wondering whether they should accept it or not.
Wang Gang sighed, knowing that he would not give up until Feng Huacheng's thoughts were completely dispelled.
"My brother-in-law is a well-known poet in China, and some of his articles and poems have been published in domestic journals." Wang Gang said to Xia Chenglong.
Xia Chenglong and Wu Sansheng took the letter from Feng Huacheng, gave Wang Gang a face, and started reading it.
Feng Huacheng looked at the two of them expectantly.
After Wu Sansheng read the two poems, he immediately put down the letter.
He is from a publishing house, and he also has some literary appreciation. Although he is not as strong as Xia Chenglong, the deputy editor of the newspaper, he can also see that the poems written by Feng Huacheng are very literary, but have no market value.
Today's people in Hong Kong are not interested in poetry themes.
Xia Chenglong looked at Feng Huacheng's poem carefully and expressed his own opinions.
"Teacher Feng's poems are very good and very relevant to current affairs in China."
Wang Gang and Feng Huacheng understood Xia Chenglong's words.
Feng Huacheng's poems may still have some market in China, but there is no market in Hong Kong.
Xia Chenglong and Wu Sansheng returned the letter paper to Feng Huacheng.
Feng Huacheng asked with some reluctance: "Teachers, what are the popular themes of poetry in Xiangjiang now?"
Xia Chenglong glanced at Wang Gang and said: "Poetry is not popular in Xiangjiang now, but popular novels are more popular."
Feng Huacheng had read the original manuscript of Wang Gang's novel, and he really couldn't understand why something that had no cultural value at all could be so popular and make so much money.
However, Feng Huacheng still asked Xia Chenglong patiently.
For Wang Gang's sake, Xia Chenglong also introduced some of Xiangjiang's pop culture features to Feng Huacheng.
As he listened, Feng Huacheng's face turned dark.
Because he found that the novel themes that people in Hong Kong like are either violent or soft.
These refreshed his understanding.
Xia Chenglong also noticed something wrong with Feng Huacheng's expression, and added: "The martial arts novels written by Mr. Zhou are very popular in Hong Kong, and the remuneration is high. There are many similar novels, and the market price is now 80 per thousand words."
Feng Huacheng looked at Wang Gang in surprise. He knew that Wang Gang's salary was high, but he didn't expect it to be so high.
