Chapter 10 Time flies
Qiao Sanli successfully got into high school. Although Qiao Wangzu was reluctant to let Qiao Sanli continue to go to school, she felt that it was enough for girls to learn and read the text when they were in junior high school.
But Qiao Yicheng was prepared for this, so he strongly supported his sister. In addition, Qiao Yicheng said that Qiao Wangzu would not have to pay for money, so he could support his sister to go to school.
When Qiao Wangzu heard that he didn't have to pay his own money, he reluctantly agreed to let Qiao Sanli continue to go to school, but he also said that if he didn't study well, he would still have to drop out of school and go home to earn money from work. Moreover, he only provided the most basic living expenses, and all other expenses were asked by Qiao Yicheng and his sister to find a way for themselves, and he would not pay a penny.
When Zhao Shucheng knew that Qiao Sanli was admitted to high school, he specially prepared a gift for Qiao Sanli, a schoolbag, and notes he had taken in high school.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng has such good academic performance and has many books he has read in his mind, so he doesn't need to take notes at all. However, in order to make himself not so outstanding, he took some notes casually during class, and now it comes in handy.
Qiao Sanli saw the schoolbag handed over by Zhao Shucheng, and at first refused, but when she heard Zhao Shucheng say that it was full of his notes, she took it happily.
She is also a fifteen-year-old girl and knows what happened to her relationship with Zhao Shucheng over the years. She had thought about confessing her love, but the elder brother she thought of said that Zhao Shucheng would not accept any feelings before they graduated from college, so she could only suppress it in her heart.
But she was also worried, what if Zhao Shucheng fell in love with someone else when she was in school?
"Brother Zhao, can you stop getting married first and wait for me to graduate from college?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Sanli, no one can tell the marriage. I can only say that I have not met a girl I like yet. Instead, you have to study hard. In college, you can see many better boys, and maybe you will meet someone you like."
Qiao Sanli said: "No, I won't like anyone, I just... just like someone."
"Okay, Sanli. No matter what happens in the future, all you have to do now is to study hard, strive for a better university, and then contribute to the construction of the motherland."
Qiao Sanli knew that this opportunity was hard-won, so she cherished the opportunity to go to school. She studied hard at school every day and made full use of her time to review her homework when she got home.
As for her feelings for Zhao Shucheng, she could only hide it in her heart, because she was afraid that Zhao Shucheng would reject her, and she was even more worried that Zhao Shucheng would no longer pay attention to her.
Because Zhao Shucheng is so outstanding now, he has published many articles in magazines and is now considered a great writer. However, she is still an ordinary high school student, and her family is still in a mess. She is not worthy of Zhao Shucheng at all.
Qiao Yicheng also got the graduate school as he wished, but Qiao Wangzu had no intention of supporting him, and he could only work and earn money to pay tuition and living expenses, book fees, etc.
When Qiao Sanli was happiest, she could meet Zhao Shucheng every month. Although Zhao Shucheng only came to give her living expenses and book expenses at that time, this would also make her happy for a long time.
Although the classmates all think that Zhao Shucheng is her brother, she knows very well that this is the person she likes.
Three years are not long or short.
Zhao Shucheng is like a fish in the magazine. After all, he can write articles and publish them himself. After getting familiar with those old colleagues, his work is much easier.
Of course, although Zhao Shucheng's income seems to be small, he is actually a rich person compared to many people. After all, there is a fee for publishing articles, not to mention that if the novel is published, you can get a lot of money.
Of course, the money on hand is only tens of thousands of yuan now, but when this ten thousand yuan household is a minority, it has far exceeded many people.
However, Zhao Shucheng did not show off his own style. He just took out some money to invite colleagues to dinner or buy some things after publishing articles in a magazine. As for the money for publication, Zhao Shucheng saved them all and prepared to buy a house in the future.
After all, Zhao Shucheng still lives at home and has not moved out. Of course, his parents are not unhappy, but they also think that Zhao Shucheng is already old and has started working now, so he should find a partner.
Zhao Shucheng did not have such an idea. Although he is now twenty-five years old and is enough to have late marriage and childbirth, he is a person who would rather have nothing than be too bad. No girl his parents asked to introduce to him could make his eyes shine.
As for the situations of others, they are different.
Qi Weimin was in a magazine at first, but later by chance, he was seconded to the newspaper. The relationship between the two people became less and less, and they could only meet occasionally. He just knew that their mother opened a grocery store and became a self-employed person.
The Qiao family has also made new developments. Qiao Sanli's usual skills were not in vain in the college entrance examination this year. Although her grades were not very good, she was admitted to a normal school and became an alumni with Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Simei was also somewhat unexpected. She originally thought that getting a diploma from junior high school was good, but she didn't expect that she could perform well and actually get into high school. Although she was not a better high school in Jinling, she was at least much better than going to work after graduating from junior high school.
Qiao Yicheng was also surprised, so he returned all the novels of Qiao Simei confiscated to Qiao Simei, agreeing that if she could get into college, she would not only pay Qiao Simei for college, but also buy Qiao Simei a beautiful dress.
Qiao Simei has been a beauty-loving person since she was a child, so she naturally has some expectations for this. And as she grows older, although she is still a little crazy, after so many years, looking at her classmates around her, comparing her celebrity idols, or even comparing her with Zhao Shucheng, it is nothing, and she has no intention of falling in love with her classmates.
Qiao Wangzu felt that life is very good now. Although only Qiao Erqiang works for his children, the other children no longer have to pay for their own money to support them. Therefore, they are all dominated by their own salary, and life is fun. They can even show off to their neighbors occasionally. His two children are college students, and the eldest is even a graduate student.
Zhao Shucheng has not continued to publish articles in domestic journals and magazines in recent times. After all, he is already famous. If he continues to maintain such high-yield creations, it may arouse the envy of some people.
Moreover, although literature is still very popular in China, the overall income is not very high. Especially now, many foreign novels have not started to be created, such as "Harry Potter", "Song of Ice and Fire", "Jurassic Park", etc.
Since Zhao Shucheng came to this world, he naturally had to leave his own traces. In particular, he could earn a large amount of dollars through this. Even if he did not have to go abroad, it would be a large amount of money to convert it into cash.
However, at the beginning, Zhao Shucheng was a little nervous. After all, he was writing English novels in China. Whether he could submit them to foreign publishing houses and whether the other party would refuse to admit their accounts is all a question.
With a tentative idea, Zhao Shucheng first copied a copy of "Jurassic Park" to contribute. After all, if this novel is not published as soon as possible, the original author will be published in a while, and it will be useless at that time.
After submitting the article, all Zhao Shucheng can do is wait. It will not be so troublesome in China. After all, Zhao Shucheng is also a well-known writer in China. As long as the novel does not have much problem, he can reply to it in three or five days and arrange for publication directly.
However, cross-border submissions are not only time on the road, but also review and other issues. More than two months later, Zhao Shucheng finally received a reply from a foreign publishing house. One magazine was preparing to pay for all the copyrights, and several publishing houses agreed to share the share, but the low proportion made people unable to believe that they had a little sincerity.
Although the money given by the buyout publishing house is a lot of money in this era, and even many companies cannot earn so much foreign exchange in exports. However, Zhao Shucheng knew that this had not met his expectations at all, because he understood the value of the novel and the possible future benefits.
Even if the other party gave 500,000 US dollars, compared with the profits that could be created, it would be just a trivial amount of money. So of course Zhao Shucheng would not agree and directly replied to the letter and refused the buyout request.
Because both parties have the idea of cooperation, the communication was much faster this time. Even after the other party knew that other publishers had received manuscripts and gave a proposal to share the money, in order to sign the contract as soon as possible, they specially sent someone to the country to negotiate with Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng is not a greedy person, but if the first cooperation gives people the impression that they are bullied, they will gain a better position in the future. So after barely having a good share, Zhao Shucheng's novel was finally published.
Because Zhao Shucheng had high expectations for the novel, he directly drew pictures of Tyrannosaurus Rex on the cover, which undoubtedly made the novel more attractive, and naturally set off a craze and brought considerable benefits to Zhao Shucheng.
Some discussions on chaotic mathematics, genetic engineering, and scientific abuse in the books have also attracted the attention of many people, and naturally they are even more popular.
The publication of the novel has also attracted the attention of some directors and film companies. They are very clear that if the novel can be adapted into a movie, it will definitely be popular and even have good returns.
Originally, they went to the publishing house directly, hoping to buy out the copyright of the movie at a low price, but when they knew it was a novel written by a Daxia person, and they only had the copyright of the book and did not have the copyright of the movie, they were somewhat disappointed.
After all, in their impression, the country's usual impression is backward, ignorant and ignorant. I didn't expect that people in this country could have such talents and even write such science fiction novels.
In fact, they had thought that it was not enough to sell copyrights to shoot movies, but after hesitation, they decided to contact Zhao Shucheng to purchase the relevant copyrights.
