11. Meeting with senior brother (please recommend and collect,)
After Gu Cheng finished feeding the 30 ml of milk powder, the baby blinked his big eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
"She fell asleep again? How can she sleep so well?"
Gu Cheng muttered, then put the baby in the stroller and watched her move her mouth cutely, but then she still didn't wake up.
"In addition to sleeping and eating, babies have almost no waking time. After a few days, you will know what it is like to be busy."
Li Lan looked at Gu Cheng who looked disappointed and complained.
“How busy can it be?”
Gu Cheng looked unconcerned. He didn't believe this at all. How difficult could the baby be? Just feeding him enough would be enough? What Li Lan said was too exaggerated.
Li Lan glanced at Gu Cheng strangely and hesitated to speak. In the end, he thought it would be better to let reality teach him a lesson.
"Save some for me, I'm starving too."
Gu Cheng looked at the little food left and was not polite. He directly picked up the rice and started to eat it happily.
Just after taking two mouthfuls, I heard my cell phone ringing. I picked it up and looked at it, and immediately patted my thigh.
"It's bad, my senior brother and I were originally going to meet, but we let it go."
Gu Cheng's face was full of helplessness. Yesterday, he made an appointment with a senior editor from a publishing house to discuss the situation of the work he had just finished. However, before he left the house, he was called away by a text message from Li Li.
, I didn’t think about it at all in my desperation. It was already night, so I was letting the pigeons go.
He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and answered the phone.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I ran into something today. I was too busy and forgot about our appointment. I'm really sorry. How about I go over now and treat you to a cup of coffee? Okay, okay, I'll see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, then stood up, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"Sister Angel, please, I have to go out for an appointment. Can you help me take care of the child for a while?"
Gu Cheng clasped his hands and looked at Li Lan solemnly.
Li Lan was stunned and stopped chewing the rice in his mouth.
"I don't get my meal for free, but I have to help you with some work? You really don't suffer."
"Sorry, sorry, I'll treat you to a big dinner another day, sorry."
"Go, go, come back as soon as possible."
Li Lan waved his hand helplessly.
Gu Cheng grabbed his clothes, took his wallet, and took Wang Jun's car keys from the table.
Gu Cheng's own car is still being repaired.
After a fast and furious journey, Gu Cheng finally arrived at a cafe.
As a city with a long history, Zhoushi has not yet caught up with the development of first-tier cities, but there are still some well-known companies settled there.
For example, the Shangbin Coffee in front of us is famous throughout the country. Since its opening, it has become a good place for many couples and friends to gather during the week.
"here."
A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses stood up and waved to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng walked towards the table, and the two shook hands affectionately first, then hugged, and then began to greet each other.
"Senior brother, you look very good."
Gu Cheng took off his coat and put the clothes behind him, while the coffee on the table was already ordered.
Yu Qi sat down, holding the coffee in front of him, his voice was very cheerful.
"You look good too. How are you doing lately?"
"Well, it's hard to describe in words, a lot of things happened."
Gu Cheng took a sip of coffee and shook his head. What happened to him couldn't be explained in just a few words.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I couldn't keep my appointment today."
Gu Cheng sincerely apologized. It was a fact that he failed to keep the appointment. No matter what, he had broken trust.
"Why are we arguing about this?"
Yu Qi is Gu Cheng's senior brother. He was a very good friend when he was in school. Later, he became a graduate student under a mentor. After graduation, he kept in touch with her.
After Yu Qi graduated, she went to work in an editorial office and has now climbed to the position of editor-in-chief. Gu Cheng, on the recommendation of his mentor, joined a provincial newspaper as a reporter. However, because Gu Cheng didn't know anything about these things when he first crossed over,
So I resigned.
"I read your manuscript. Why didn't I find out in school that you still have this talent?"
Yu Qi went straight to the topic and praised Gu Cheng seriously.
"Hahaha, you have to have a job to make a living, right?"
After Gu Cheng traveled through time, during nearly a year of traveling and relaxing, he also thought about his future path. After much thought, he still wanted to regain his old profession, his identity as a writer.
But the themes still have to be different. In his previous life, he was a freelance writer, focusing on suspense themes. However, his works in his previous life were not very popular, and they had no selling point in this world. He had to admit that he was indeed
I lack some talent in this area.
But it doesn't matter now. As a suspense writer, he has read a lot of related books. He has written down many cases and plots in detective novels and studied them many times. Now that he has traveled through time, the contents are probably still relevant.
Remember, even if there are some differences, as a suspense writer, he still has basic writing skills, and he can come up with it himself.
After thinking about it, he first submitted a lot of travel notes about his travels to newspapers that he was familiar with. They were very popular among readers and gained some fame in the literary circles of the city. After that, he spent a few weeks writing about his previous life in England.
The work of female detective novelist Agatha Christie, the classic crime novel "Murder on the Orient Express" has been Chineseized.
Because it is a modern-themed novel, it was very convenient for Gu Cheng to Chineseize it. He changed his name and background to China. What’s more, this novel is famous for its long description of psychological activities, and it is written in a way that is close to the stream of consciousness.
Gu Cheng gained a lot.
After finishing the manuscript, he mailed it to his senior brother Yu Qi. As the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, he still had a basic sense of discernment. After Yu Qi got the book, he read it all night and was full of praise for the work.
I directly made an appointment with Gu Cheng to meet the next day to discuss publishing matters.
This is also the benefit of Gu Cheng as a member of the literature department of Huaguo University. Basically, many well-known newspapers and publishing houses, as well as literary executives, are his senior brothers or alumni. As long as they show the name of the school they graduated from, they will
Was warmly received.
"Our publishing house is very optimistic about your books and will provide the highest level of publicity. Moreover, since you are my junior brother, I will not treat you badly in terms of contracts. I have applied for you to receive the highest level of remuneration for a new writer."
With that said, he took out a contract from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Cheng.
Chapter completed!
