"Just turn here in the morning."

In the studio, when Li Xiang arrived early in the morning, he called Xiaoxia to continue to translate "The Old Man and the Sea". After "reading" for more than an hour, he was thirsty and tired, so he asked Xiaoxia to go back. Today's translation work came to an end.

Xiao Xia closed the computer, put away her pink mechanical keyboard, said goodbye to Li Xiang and left.

This girl who is shy every time she sees Li Xiang, is much better now and will no longer blush at all times.

He learned from Xiaoxia that the translation work of the arrogant Miss Zhou Jiayi has just begun. "Love Life" is a short story, but the translation work is cumbersome and there are many preparations in the early stages, so when "The Old Man and the Sea" progresses rapidly, she can't even get faster.

After Xiao Xia left, the door of the office meeting was also taken. Li Xiang filled the teacup and drank it in one breath. He wanted to pour another cup, but found that the teacup that had been boiled in the morning was empty, so he refilled the water and boiled another pot. The office quickly heard the rumbling sound of boiling water.

Li Xiang sat back in his black chair, woke up his sleeping laptop, opened Weibo, and the private message mailbox was full again, and Liu Jingyi, who was on the top, also jumped out.

Li Xiang hasn't read Weibo for a long time. Liu Jingyi's message was still a week ago. The content was to congratulate him on releasing a new book, and at the same time asked about some content in the book.

I haven't replied for so long, and I wonder if I would have any objections to him. Li Xiang thought to himself. In order to express his apology, he replied with a long private message, mainly to answer her doubts during the process of watching "The Old Man and the Sea".

After sending the private message, Li Xiang roughly browsed the mailboxes. There were too many, and he couldn't see them at all. There were all kinds of letters. Some were fans, some were self-media people, and some were insiders. For example, he saw no less than 10 messages to ask him for a song. These people who sent the messages had never met, most of them had never even heard of names, and occasionally some of them had seen names on the news, but they were not familiar with each other. This was the first time they came into contact.

Li Xiang ignored all such information, and it was even more impossible to reply to it.

Every time there were so many private messages, Li Xiang couldn't read it, so he set up a mailbox. Non-friends could send messages and would not receive them.

After thinking about it, Li Xiang canceled Liu Jingyi's top again.

He thought to himself, since he hadn't had many friends on Weibo, if Liu Jingyi sent a private message, he would definitely see it as soon as possible, and he would no longer have to worry about sinking into the sea. It would not be very practical to put the top on it at this time.

Then, he put Huang Youyi on the backhand.

A few days ago, online writer Wang Sheng sent his new book, which was a brief outline and the first 50,000 words, saying that Li Xiang would like to give some suggestions.

Li Xiang didn’t have time at that time, and he didn’t remember it until now.

He opened the folder and found Wang Sheng's new book. The name of the new book is "The Great Thieves".

Wang Sheng, Xu Liye and Li Xiang joined Shengjing Writers Association together. After that, the three of them made friends. Although they didn’t meet often, they often chatted on the Internet.

In recent years, online novels have developed rapidly and many "great gods" have been born. Among them, Wang Sheng and Xu Liye are the best among the many great gods. They are also the pioneers and guides of online novels and have earned their first pot of gold in their lives.

At first, they wrote for money and made a fortune, but after having no worries about food and clothing, they found that their social status had not changed and they were still looked down upon.

The one they remembered was that they attended a symposium organized by the local writers' association. The theme of the meeting was to discuss the social value of online literature. At that time, the two participated enthusiastically, but ended up coming back in a dusty state. They were hit hard at the meeting and were almost taught a lesson by a group of traditional literature writers.

They also imagined that they would shake their bodies and teach these old guys a lesson, turn their backs on the spot, and then leave, but in fact, they were speechless.

Yes, although they are unwilling to admit it, they themselves understand that just what they write is difficult to be elegant and can only make people happy. Where is the social value? Not to mention the timeliness of literature.

After that time, the two began to make changes. They still wrote online novels, but no longer followed the routine, and began to write deeper and more connotational.

They neither completely gave up online literature because of others' despises, nor did they proudly close the door and become kings, but instead found a balance between the two.

They tried for many years and their grades were pretty good, but they were incomparable to their previous grades.

However, they have achieved financial freedom and have the power to pursue spiritual satisfaction.

Now, Wang Sheng has launched a new book called "The Big Thieves".

This is also not an online novel in the traditional sense, nor is it a traditional literary work. It is a combination of the two and his latest understanding of traditional literature and online literature.

Li Xiang quickly finished reading the 50,000 words he sent. It was really good. It looked more like the real magicalism of South America, but it was more down-to-earth and very national, and in line with the reading tastes of young people today.

He found this book "The Big Thieves" on the novel website, but his current results are not good, and he can't see it at the top of the rankings.

In the past, every time Wang Sheng posted a book, the new book was a regular on the major list, but now it is different.

Since you are trying, there will definitely be gains and losses, and it is inevitable that some readers will lose.

Li Xiang posted a Weibo post, @Wang Sheng, and recommended "The Big Thieves" to more than 26 million fans.

...

It was not until that night that Wang Sheng learned that Li Xiang had pushed a book for him.

He wrote during the day, and in order not to be distracted, he cut off the network. It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that he uploaded new chapters every day that he reconnected to the network and logged into the backstage to find that the collection of new books had become 300,000!

He suspected that he was dazzled, rubbed and rubbed, looked and looked again and again, yes, it was only 300,000, and the next 5 0!

But he remembered that the collection volume was less than 100,000 this morning! I didn’t see it for a while, and suddenly it increased by more than 200,000 yuan?

His first reaction was that something went wrong with the system.

I have to say that there are no major problems with this website system, and there are constant minor problems, and there are often accidents.

Wang Sheng subconsciously thought that this was another system error, but when he came to the comment section, he found that this was not the case. There were many new messages in the comment section. In the past, when encountering this situation, it was basically a group attack by black fans, especially after he began to transform, he was often black and whitewashed. Even if there were multiple administrators, he was still unable to guard against it. These people had a lot of opinions on his transformation, and many of them had been his fans, but because of his transformation, they turned from fans to black. This is the side effect of readers' youth, and love and hate were just in a moment.

After the release of "The Big Thieves", it was covered with two black and black screens in just one week, and the comments were in chaos. This time, the comments suddenly appeared again, which made him frightened. His first reaction was that the black fans were coming again, and it was really a ghost.

However, he soon discovered that this time it was obviously not. The freshly released messages were not bad, they were all positive messages.

"The book recommended by my brother is indeed not bad."

"It turns out that my brother also reads online novels."

"I didn't expect that Brother Sheng actually knew Li Xiang, Cowhi."

...

Wang Sheng excitedly browsed these messages and gradually understood what happened.

It turned out that Li Xiang recommended his book!

The first 50,000 words of this book were sent to Li Xiang the day after attending the launch of the new book "The Old Man and the Sea", and humbly asked him to correct it, but hesitated for a long time to ask. In the end, he held back. Since he didn't want to comment, calling him over was futile, which made both sides embarrassed.

After waiting for many days, he still didn't receive a response. Wang Sheng thought there would be no response. He was quite depressed during that period. Li Xiang was a young man like him, but he was his idol and benchmark. He longed to be recognized by Li Xiang.

Wang Sheng is 7 years older than Li Xiang, but he already thinks Li Xiang is his idol from the bottom of his heart. "Love Life" and "I Am a Cat" made him love it, and the new "The Old Man and the Sea" is even more amazing - this is a book he can't write in his life.

Although he is younger than him, Wang Sheng does not feel ashamed. It is not embarrassing to admit that he is worse than Li Xiang. On the contrary, being able to compare with Li Xiang is an honor in itself.

The masters are the masters, and the ancients have taught us this principle.

Wang Sheng was frustrated for a long time without feedback. Without feedback, he just didn't like it. Wang Sheng thought so more than once, but at the same time he was lucky. Perhaps Li Xiang was too busy and had no time to watch it.

Now it seems that the one with the least probability may be the real one. Didn’t Li Xiang recommend his book? He also praised it on Weibo.

In the Shengjing Writers Association, only Li Xiang treats him and Xu Liye with kindness and equality. This is really rare. Wang Sheng thought to himself that in the Writers Association, Li Xiang has the greatest reputation and the widest influence, but he is the most peaceful and does not see the airs of a big star. This makes Wang Sheng and Xu Liye have a very good impression of Li Xiang, and their sense of the entertainment industry has improved greatly. However, they will not naively think that there are people like Li Xiang in the entertainment industry. In the world of fame and fortune, there is never a shortage of intrigue, and even the online literature circle they come into contact with is full of truth, falsehood, lies and deception.

It is precisely because of this that they have a good impression of Li Xiang because they know that people like Li Xiang are too scarce.

Although other writers in Shengjing Writers Association did not show any expression on their faces to Wang Sheng and Xu Liye, their attitudes were not good or bad. Wang Sheng was not angry. On the contrary, among the traditional literary writers they had come into contact with, the predecessors of Shengjing Writers Association were already very polite, and as time went by, everyone's attitude towards them was quietly changing. This is a positive signal.

After Wang Sheng wrote "The Great Thieves", he sent it to Xu Liye for review as soon as possible, and also sent it to Li Xiang. For others, don't ask if friendship has reached that level. Maybe, even friendship has not been established yet, and everyone just nodded. Coming in a simple and deep manner is a big taboo in interpersonal communication.

Whether to send it to Li Xiang and listen to his suggestions, Wang Sheng hesitated for a long time, and even consulted Xu Liye. Finally, he plucked up the courage to send it.

It seems right now, Li Xiang is not arrogant.

Wang Sheng found Li Xiang’s Weibo and saw the message recommending “The Big Thieves”. The following has exceeded 800,000 likes, more than 500,000 comments, and more than 700,000 reposts.

Wang Sheng was in a state of excitement, and this star effect was stronger than all the lists on the novel website combined.

He browsed everyone's comments with relish, and most of them positively affirmed "The Big Thieves", and of course there are also some bad things. This is inevitable, and he will not arrogantly think that it is all good reviews.

If he was not good at it, the one who made suggestions was of equal value to him. He could recognize his "blind spots" from it, so he opened another document and copied it all and wrote it down to remind himself in the future.

After reading it for more than half an hour without realizing it, the short comments were attractive to him and could not stop. Until the phone rang, it was Xu Liye's phone call.

“Hey, start a career.”

"Asheng, do you know? Li Xiang has pushed you a book, and the group is in full bloom now." Xu Liye said in a stirring tone on the other side of the phone. Wang Sheng couldn't see what he looked like at the moment, but he was sure to be happy for him.

"The Internet was cut off during the day, and those who uploaded new chapters at night realized that the collection had increased by more than 200,000 yuan."

"Wow~~so fierce?"

"There are even more powerful things. Have you read Li Xiang's Weibo? There are more than 500,000 comments. I guess the collection will increase tomorrow morning."

"Then congratulations first, this surprised those who are watching jokes. Oh, by the way, you go to the author group to respond to everyone. Everyone is crazy @ you."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Sheng immediately logged in to the instant messaging, and the dialog box popped up wildly.

"Is Brother Sheng here?"

"Brother Sheng, you sent it, Li Xiang is pushing you a book."

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng! Come out, everyone is waiting for you to reply."

...

These people were crazy, Wang Sheng thought. There were too many dialog boxes that popped up, so he couldn't browse them one by one. He first ignored them all, and then clicked on the author group. The group was "Celebrating the New Year" and the topic was all about Li Xiang and "The Big Thieves".

"Brother Sheng is here~~"

"I'm welcome to speak with Brother Sheng!"

"Brother Sheng is so awesome. He actually leaned on the mountain Li Xiang."

...

Both are authors, some sincerely congratulate Wang Sheng, some are sour, and some are just looking at it and not talking about it, not saying it is good or bad.

Wang Sheng's status and status are there, so no one will laugh at him or criticize him without opening his eyes, so the group is quite peaceful.

Wang Sheng chatted with everyone for a while, then clicked on the reader group. This place was even more lively. Everyone was guessing how he met Li Xiang. It would be impossible that Li Xiang would have nothing to do with him.
