015.What can you do at the age of thirteen?
Gu Yuanzhen said confidently: "Because he is looking for revision."
"In different editions, sometimes the writer will adjust the words and sentences of the previous edition, and some will also modify the plot," Gu Yuanzhen said. "He is looking to see if the plots in these books have changed, so he bought many different editions in one go.
Compared."
"Nonsense." He Shiying immediately retorted.
Gu Yuanzhen looked at her unconvinced: "What nonsense am I talking about?"
He Shiying pointed to the books on the ground and said: "Most of these books have not been opened. It is obvious that they have not been read. How could they be looking for comparison?"
Gu Yuanzhen said with a guilty conscience: "Maybe after he bought it, he found that the workload was too heavy and he was too lazy to read it?"
"If you don't bother to read it once, you should teach it well. How come there are so many versions of this book? Are you fooled again and again?"
Gu Yuanzhen also found that his reasoning was a bit untenable.
However, he immediately counterattacked: "Then tell me, what does he write? Why do you want to buy so many editions?"
He Shiying was stunned and said: "I don't know..."
"Look, can't you tell me why?"
He Shiying was a little unconvinced and said: "My intuition tells me that Chen Ya probably doesn't write about martial arts."
"Why?" Qin Yunchu asked.
He Shiying said: "He bought a lot of martial arts books but didn't read them, which means he couldn't stand martial arts, so he switched to writing other books."
Gu Yuanzhen retorted: "Then why did he buy so many copies? Just follow what you said and be fooled again and again?"
He Shiying blushed, and then said seriously: "He bought it all at once, and only after buying it did he realize that he had been cheated. What's wrong? Isn't it possible?"
Gu Yuanzhen picked up two of the books and said: "Look at the materials of these two books. One is so new and the other is so old. They were obviously not bought at the same time. Moreover, if you just want to learn martial arts, it is necessary to buy so many.
Different versions?”
"Then why did you buy so many?"
"Yeah, why?"
"..."
They both fell into silence.
After being silent for a long time, the two of them looked at each other.
"Maybe, Chen Ya is a big fool."
Qin Yunchu pressed his forehead.
This conclusion is so outrageous that my grandma’s family was outraged.
At this time, Liu Ruyan said quietly from behind: "Every time it is reprinted, the publisher will send a few samples..."
Gu Yuanzhen and He Shiying were stunned.
"You mean, these books were written by Chen Ya?"
"Um."
After a moment of silence, the two said in unison:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
He Shiying picked up Jin Yong's book on the ground and said: "Not only is the ancient cage's book available in every edition, but Jin Yong's book is also available in every edition."
"Could it be said that Gu Long and Jin Yong are both him?"
"It's impossible no matter how you think about it."
Liu Ruyan fell into silence. But looking at her eyes, she seemed to think, "That's nothing unusual."
Qin Yunchu picked up a copy of "Happy Heroes" on the ground and said, "I think this matter can be easily explained. Chen Ya is an avid fan of Jin Yong and Gu Long, so he bought every book."
Gu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't we think of it?"
He Shiying said: "Then why are some books unopened?"
"Because he bought it for collection, use, collection, and missionary use. Those senior ashes fans buy three sets of one."
Qin Yunchu opened the first page of the book "Happy Heroes" and a piece of letter paper fell out from it.
She picked up the piece of paper and saw handwritten words on it, so she read out:
"Mr. Gulong: "Huan" has been published, and 10 samples will be given as a special gift. I hope that Mr. Gulong will continue to support our publisher. If there are new books, we must give priority to them. ——Guci Publishing House, Xi Wendian."
After reading it out, everyone looked at each other in shock.
A thought came to their minds at the same time:
Maybe, Chen Ya is really an ancient cage...
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Gu Yuanzhen clenched her fists and stood up.
Liu Ruyan seemed to be awakened: "What is impossible?"
"Chen Ya can't be Gu Long."
Qin Yunchu pinched the piece of paper with his delicate white fingers and said, "This paper doesn't look like it was specially forged..."
"I have sufficient evidence." Gu Yuanzhen said.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to produce evidence.
"Do you know when "The Passionate Swordsman" was published?"
Qin Yunchu and He Shiying glanced at each other, then shook their heads.
"have no idea."
Gu Yuanzhen said: "The first edition of "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" was published in 2007. When was 2007? 15 years ago."
He turned to Qin Yunchu and asked: "How old is Chen Ya this year?"
Qin Yunchu replied: "28 years old."
She has read Chen Ya's file, so she remembers it very clearly.
"28 years old, 15 years ago." Gu Yuanzhen repeated it, and then said loudly, "You tell me, Chen Ya wrote "The Passionate Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" when he was 13 years old?!"
After hearing what he said, Qin Yunchu and He Shiying somewhat understood.
13 years old, what were they doing when they were 13 years old?
Practice piano, learn ballet, and attend various dance parties and cocktail parties.
For most people, this is already very early.
Even if you are as good as them, you still feel that writing a novel with more than 700,000 words at this age is like a fantasy.
He Shiying asked: "Yunchu, is it possible that Chen Ya's file was falsified?"
Qin Yunchu shook his head.
"His ID card, household register, and various resume dates are all listed one by one. It is unlikely to be faked. Moreover, he looks very young, not even 28 years old, but 22 or 3.
age."
Gu Yuanzhen clapped his hands: "Look, I said he can't be Gu Long, right?"
"Why?"
A dull voice came, this time it was Liu Ruyan standing behind.
Gu Yuanzhen turned around with a somewhat surprised expression: "Didn't I tell you already? It's impossible for Chen Ya to write "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" at the age of 13."
"Why?" Liu Ruyan tilted her head.
Gu Yuanzhen: "..."
Liu Ruyan is good everywhere, but I feel like talking to her is too hard sometimes.
He opened the book and said: "Look, what's in "The Sentimental Swordsman"? The world is full of twists and turns, love is life and death, Li Xunhuan, A Fei is trapped by love, the upright hero is sanctimonious, Shangguan Jin Hong's majestic appearance... It's so rich and colorful
How could a 13-year-old child write the content?"
He Shiying nodded: "Indeed, I was fascinated at the time because I felt that the content in the book was too sophisticated, as if it could have been written by someone who has been around for many years. I also thought about what the author has experienced."
Liu Ruyan seemed to think for a while, and finally said, "Teacher is very precocious."
"You shouldn't have gotten into this early if you're precocious!"
Qin Yunchu squatted on the ground and said: "If he is really Gu Long, there must be some evidence. Just... look for it... it will definitely... be possible... huh?"
As she spoke, her speaking speed became slower and slower.
Because, she found something strange in the cabinet.
A stack of old, yellowed manuscript paper.
She pulled out the stack of manuscript paper, dusted it off, and turned to the first page, only to see it read:
"'Gu Long', hello! I have received your copy of "The Passionate Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword". It is particularly difficult to write such a long article. However, after being read by the editor-in-chief of our publisher, I found that the writing is absurd and contains many absurdities.
In other words, the characters' actions are illogical, and the so-called martial arts concept is unheard of. It does not meet our publishing requirements, so please revise it and resubmit it.
"As for your request to pay a deposit in advance, our company has no precedent for this, so we cannot be satisfied.
