The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Shao Wenjun had no say over the conditions set by Wang Gang, so he could only go to the canteen to make a phone call and communicate with the president.

After Shao Wenjun left, Xie Zirun asked Wang Gang with a troubled look on his face: "Xie Lin, did you really write the novel? Did you hear it from somewhere?"

Don't blame Xie Zirun for suspecting Wang Gang. It was mainly because he knew his nephew too well. His nephew had a hard time writing an essay in the past, and he had to use punctuation marks to make up the word count for an essay of several hundred words.

Now tell Xie Zirun that his nephew has transformed himself into a writer and has even had editors from magazines come to his house to ask for his articles.

This kind of thing would seem magical to anyone.

"Uncle, I usually like to watch martial arts TV dramas. After watching too many of them, I wanted to write something myself. I didn't expect that I would be noticed by a magazine." Wang Gang explained.

"That's not right. What's wrong with your writing?" Xie Zirun picked up the manuscript of "Kunlun" and said, "The novel involves a lot of historical knowledge. Where did you get all that information?"

"The school library!" Wang Gang said as a matter of course: "I usually go there to look up information. I wrote Kunlun by imitating the Condor Heroes."

Xie Zirun still looked conflicted. Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "Xie Lin! You are still a student. Will writing novels affect your studies? Didn't you say before that you wanted to apply to a key high school and go to college in the future?"

Wang Gang took out a test paper from his schoolbag and said, "Uncle, we just finished the final exam a few days ago. I did well this time and ranked 27th in the class."

"Such progress?" Xie Zirun took the paper and found that his nephew was not lying. He did very well in the final exam.

"Xie Lin has been working very hard recently. In addition to writing novels, he spends all his time studying. This time he improved by more than 20 places. All the teachers praised him for his great progress." Xie Qiao said from the side.

In fact, Wang Gang was very serious in the final exam, otherwise if he suddenly went from last to first, the teacher would have suspected him of cheating.

Xie Zirun put down the test paper and couldn't help but sigh: "You are finally getting the point!"

Wang Gang said: "Uncle, writing novels is my hobby, I promise it won't interfere with my studies."

Xie Lin sighed and said, "You have grown up and started to have your own plans. I won't stop you, but I still hope that you will focus on your studies."

Wang Gang nodded and agreed: "I understand. If my grades drop, I will stop writing."

Looking at Wang's face which was beginning to mature, Xie Zirun couldn't help but sigh that he was getting old.

Shao Wenjun quickly ran back and said happily: "Thank you, writer. Our president agreed to your request, but he made a small request."

Wang Gang asked: "What request?"

Shao Wenjun said: "The number of words you submit each month must not be less than 50,000 words!"

Wang Gang thought about it and realized that he now uses his spare time to write and can write more than 2,000 words a day. This is mainly because he doesn’t have a computer and has to rely on handwriting, which affects his speed.

However, the standard of 50,000 per month is not difficult to achieve. Summer vacation is coming soon. I can finish half of "Kunlun" in two months if I hurry.

"Okay, I already have about 40,000 words of manuscripts saved. Would you like to take them with you?" Wang Gang agreed.

"Yes, I'll take it away. 'Kunlun' is expected to start serialization in half a month. If everything goes well, the royalties can be settled next month. You'd better give me an account number." Shao Wenjun said.

Wang Gang turned to look at Xie Zirun and said, "Let's transfer the royalties to your bank account first."

Xie Zirun agreed immediately: "No problem, I'll save the money for you first."

Wang Gang was very confident in Xie Zirun's character and was not worried that he would embezzle money. On the contrary, Xie Zirun was worried that his nephew would become bad after getting rich.

"I'll go and revise the contract right away." Shao Wenjun ran out happily again, as if he was afraid that Wang Gang would go back on his word.

Xie Zirun asked in confusion: "Is this editor Shao so impetuous?" Wang Gang said with a smile: "The sales of the martial arts magazine have dropped significantly recently, and we are in urgent need of a mainstay work."

Xie Zirun was surprised and asked: "How do you know?"

Wang Gang said: "Magazine sales are not a secret, it's easy to find out. Although martial arts style is popular in China, there are few well-known works, and most of them are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is naturally difficult to run a martial arts magazine well."

Xie Zirun opened his mouth in shock. Wang Gang’s performance now was even more exaggerated than his ability to write “Kunlun”.

Wang Gang immediately shut up.

Shao Wenjun quickly brought back the revised contract. After Wang Gang signed his name, he let him take it away together with the manuscript he had already written.

Then that evening, the whole compound was in an uproar. When the neighbors heard that Wang Gang's novel had been published in a magazine, they all came to the Xie family to congratulate Wang Gang.

"Linlin is successful now. His articles can be published in magazines. He will definitely be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University in the future." Grandma Qin said happily.

The happiest person to hear the neighbors' compliments was Grandma Xie, who could hardly close her mouth with a smile.

When Mother Xie returned home and heard about her nephew, she was also quite surprised, but she quickly accepted the fact that Wang Gang had become a writer.

Then everyone's attention focused on Xie Qiao.

Tomorrow Xie Qiao will go to Tiananmen Square to perform a dance and stay there overnight. This is also a very honorable thing for the slum.

The Qin family was a little envious of the Xie family, as both of their children were outstanding. Then Qin's father gave Qin Chuan a good scolding.

"Look at the two children of the Xie family, and then look at you. In this final exam, you were ranked last in the class. I am ashamed for you."

Qin Chuan was not convinced and said: "Before, Xie Lin was always ranked last. This time he was lucky and did well in the exam, so I became the last one."

Qin's father was furious and shouted, "You usually rank second to last in the exam, is that an honor?"

"Qin Qian's grades are also at the bottom, why don't you say anything to her?" Qin Chuan suddenly used his sister to take the blame.

"Your sister is a girl, how can it be the same?" Qin's father said angrily.

"How is it different? The teacher said that we should pay attention to gender equality now. Why don't you say anything about Qin Qian when she got the last place in the exam?" Qin Chuan said angrily: "Did you pick me up?"

Father Qin was also annoyed by his son's criticism, and he pulled out his belt and threatened: "You damn child, I think you are asking for a beating."

Seeing that the father and son were arguing more and more outrageously, Xie Zirun quickly stood up to try to stop them.

"Old Qin, don't hit the child! If his grades are not good, he can learn slowly." Xie Zirun said: "Xie Lin didn't study well before, but he worked hard for a few days and his grades have improved!"

Qin's father said angrily: "If Qin Chuan is willing to work hard, I won't say anything about him. The problem is, look at what he usually does. When he gets home, he either watches TV or reads comics and novels. I've never seen him pick up a book!"

Xie Zirun said: "No, let Qin Chuan come to my house after school and let Xie Qiao and Xie Lin urge him to study."

He Xiaozhou's mother also said: "We can also ask Xiaozhou to help tutor the three children during the summer vacation."

Mother Qin smiled and said, "This is a good idea. After they finish learning, we can let the children come to our house for dinner, and it will save Aunt Xie the trouble of cooking."

Xie Zirun and his wife looked at each other and thought that the Qin family's idea was a good one. They immediately agreed: "It's settled. Let the children study together during the summer vacation!" (End of this chapter)
