Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 41 "I Want to Become an Immortal" Exposed
Cao Sheng looked at Pang Yunhai, Geng Yong and the others in surprise. After they finished talking, Cao Sheng frowned and asked, "How do you know that my sample book is printed in traditional Chinese? Did you... open it and take a look?"

He was certainly not surprised that his sample book was printed in traditional Chinese characters.

Because his book "I Want to Become an Immortal" was published in traditional Chinese in Taiwan.

Pang Yunhai and others thought that he had only written one book, "Living with a Flight Attendant," and that it was about to be published in mainland China. Works published in mainland China would definitely be printed in simplified Chinese.

Cao Sheng's face turned ugly.

He thought Pang Yunhai and others had opened his registered letter, otherwise how could they have seen that the sample book in the envelope was printed in traditional Chinese characters?
But he was also a little confused.

I can't understand why, since they had seen his sample book, they couldn't tell that it was a traditional Chinese version published in Taiwan?

Also, didn’t they see the four words “I want to become an immortal”?

With these questions in mind, Cao Sheng walked quickly to his desk with a sullen face, wanting to check immediately whether his registered letter had been opened.

"No! Cao Sheng, don't misunderstand! We didn't open your registered letter. You didn't come back, so how could we open your letter without permission? Right? It's just that when I helped you get this registered letter today, I found a hole in the envelope. Just now, Guan Zhi saw the words "a little gray" inside through the hole..."

Squad leader Geng Yong hurried to explain.

Before Geng Yong finished speaking, Cao Sheng had already seen a thick registered letter on his desk.

As Geng Yong said, there was indeed a hole in the corner of the registered letter envelope.

Seeing that the envelope was not completely opened, Cao Sheng felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"Is that so? Then it seems I misunderstood you. Sorry, everyone!"

While Cao Sheng turned around and apologized to everyone, he was already thinking about how to cover up the matter. He did not want to disclose the fact that he had published another work in Taiwan for the time being.

After everyone knew about his book "Living with a Flight Attendant", which has not been actually published yet, it has already caused him a lot of trouble. What will happen if everyone knows today that he has another novel published in traditional Chinese in Taiwan?

Not to mention those far away, just the few people in front of him would definitely start to make a fuss and force him to treat them.

When the whole class knows the news tomorrow, other classmates, counselors, and teachers will probably ask him questions again. The final exam is coming soon, and he doesn't want to become famous again. He just wants to be quiet for a few days and prepare for the final exam.

Try to pass no subject.

only……

Before he could figure out how to cover up the matter, counselor Lu Xiangwei suddenly walked into their dormitory, smiling and asking as soon as he entered the door: "What are you talking about? So lively? Hey, Geng Yong is here too? What are you doing in Cao Sheng's dormitory?"

Lu Xiangwei's sudden appearance attracted everyone's attention.

Cao Sheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly picked up the registered letter on the table and hid it behind his waist.

But we can’t let Wei see it.

Awei is the nickname given to Lu Xiangwei privately by his classmates.

Geng Yong smiled, pointed at Cao Sheng, and said, "Oh, I'm here to deliver a registered letter to Cao Sheng. I was just talking about Cao Sheng's sample book. It seems to have been sent, but the words on the sample book are in traditional Chinese. Maybe the publisher printed the wrong font."

At this point, Geng Yong was stunned for a moment, because he found that the registered letter that was on Cao Sheng's desk just now was gone.

"Oh? The sample book has arrived? Traditional Chinese characters?"

Lu Xiangwei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Cao Sheng. He walked over with a surprised expression, and said as he walked, "How could a publishing house make such a mistake? Oh, where's the sample book? Cao Sheng! I remember you said before that you would give me a copy when your sample book arrives, right? Hurry up and show it to me! Where's the sample book?"

Pang Yunhai chuckled, "Cao Sheng! Hurry up and open it for the teacher to see!"

Guan Zhi: "Yes! Yes! It's a good opportunity for us to see it."

Geng Yong: "Hey, I also want to see what the sample book looks like."

Cao Sheng: “…”

At this moment, Cao Sheng had no idea how to cover it up.

But he still wanted to struggle, so he forced a smile and asked Lu Xiangwei, "Eh? Teacher, why are you here at this time? What a rare guest!"

Lu Xiangwei was looking around for a sample book.

Hearing this, he casually said, "Oh, your English teacher is moving to a new dormitory and needs a few people to help. She was too embarrassed to come over to call for help, so she asked me to come over to call for a few boys to help. It just so happens that your dormitory is on the first floor, so it's most convenient to come to your place, so I came to your dormitory to call for help. By the way, where is the sample book? Let me have a look!"

Cao Sheng: “…” It turned out to be useless to change the subject.

Zhai Jun suddenly pointed at Cao Sheng's waist and said, "It's in his hand! Cao Sheng, why did you hide the letter behind your buttocks?"

Cao Sheng looked at Zhai Jun, feeling speechless.

Lu Xiangwei and others looked behind Cao Sheng's waist.

At this point, Cao Sheng was completely out of ideas.

I could only smile helplessly, take out the registered letter, tear open the seal in front of everyone, and pour all the 5 sample books inside onto the desk.

Lu Xiangwei, Geng Yong, Pang Yunhai and others, one by one, gathered around curiously and reached out to take the sample books on the table.

Their subsequent reactions were almost exactly what Cao Sheng had expected.

Their expressions became more and more surprised.

"I want to become an immortal? Isn't it the day of living with the stewardess? Why did you change it to such a weird name?"

"Traditional Chinese characters? Are they really all traditional Chinese characters? Why are they all arranged vertically?"

"Zhongyuan Yidianhui, the pen name is correct, but the title of the book is wrong, right?"

"Cao Sheng! What's going on? How come this is completely like another book? The contents of the book seem different too."

……

at the same time.

English teacher Cheng Ying sat in the single dormitory where she had lived for several years, holding a white ceramic teacup in her hand, looking at everything in the dormitory with some nostalgia.

Having lived here for several years, she is a little reluctant to move away today.

But she is getting married, and her husband is also a teacher at Huizhou Teachers College. The school recently allocated them a two-bedroom apartment.

When the school allocated two-bedroom apartments to them, they also told them that they should vacate their single dormitories as soon as possible to make way for other single teachers.

So, she has to move these days.

However, she has bought a lot of things in the past few years she has lived here.

As a female teacher, she couldn't even move some of the furniture.

But she was reluctant to ask her boyfriend to do the hard labor, so she asked Lu Xiangwei to call a few boys to help. Anyway, the boys were all energetic and had plenty of strength. At most, she could just treat them all to a cup of tea after they finished their work.

While drinking tea, she waited patiently for Lu Xiangwei to bring people over.

But time passed little by little, and more than an hour went by. As the sky outside the window gradually darkened, her stomach began to growl with hunger, but she still didn't see Lu Xiangwei bringing anyone over.

She had drunk the tea in her cup several times and went to the bathroom twice, but no one came to help her move.

Where did Lu Xiangwei go?

He didn't even go to help me call for help, did he?
Did this guy die on the road?

Cheng Ying, who was getting angrier and angrier, stood by the window, her face looking very ugly.

She felt that she had been cheated by Lu Xiangwei.

And what is Lu Xiangwei doing at this moment?

In a small restaurant not far from the school gate, Cao Sheng, Geng Yong, Pang Yunhai, Guan Zhi... Lu Xiangwei and others gathered in a private room.

There were more than a dozen dishes on the table and a box of beer on the floor.

"Come on! Classmates, let's have another drink!"

Lu Xiangwei stood up with a flushed face and raised his glass to greet everyone.

I completely forgot about my English teacher Cheng Ying.
