Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 21 Tian Jiahui's Surprise (Part 2)

After receiving the feedback, Li Song agreed. Li Song decided to write Ghost Blows Out the Light first, because he didn't need to think of many plots. He just needed to change the background and dialogue, as well as things that were in line with the times, and he would just skip over the things he didn't understand.

The only thing that limits Li Song is his writing speed. Fortunately, Li Song has a strong physical fitness. Even so, after writing for a while, Li Song has to get up and exercise.

Because it doesn't require any thinking, it doesn't require much brainpower.

Almost 20,000 words every day.

On Saturday, December 15, 1979, Liu Jiale received the remaining tens of thousands of manuscripts of Ghost Blows Out the Light and immediately reported it to the editor-in-chief on social media. After reading it, the editor-in-chief decided to sign a contract with Li Song.

He never waited for the 100,000 words of Interstellar Mercenary, because Li Song was a natural writer, and the contract terms for Ghost Blows Out the Light were also 100,000 words and 11% royalties.

Although Tian Jiahui is rich, he still works in a law firm because Tian Jiahui thinks what Li Song said is right. Having the identity of a lawyer and the support of a law firm will save him a lot of trouble.

Tian Jiahui had just finished lunch and was about to take a break when he received a call from Li Song asking him to go over there. He was so scared that he slapped his head. Because he had just made a fortune, he had been busy looking at houses and cars everywhere in recent days.

And I can't let my family know for the time being, because my aunts and uncles might come to borrow money from me. I will spend the money first, and then when others come to borrow from me, I will say they have a mortgage. Even my wife won't know that I have money.

I forgot what Li Song told me.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry. I haven't been feeling well recently, so what you asked me to do..." Tian Jiahui quickly took a taxi to Li Song's side. As soon as Li Song opened the door, Tian Jiahui hurriedly spoke, but when he entered the room, he found that there were two other people.

Tian Jiahui was very nervous, wondering if he was going to be killed to silence him.

"This is my personal lawyer, Lawyer Tian Jiahui, this is the editor of the New Evening News, Liu Jiale, and this is the legal officer of the New Evening News, Zhou Daxing." Li Song began to introduce.

"Hello!" The other three people greeted each other.

When Tin Ka Fai and Chow Tai Sing talked, it turned out that they were alumni, and Chow Tai Sing was two grades higher than Tin Ka Fai.

The three people all had their own plans. Liu Jiale was surprised that Li Song had a private lawyer who was always available?

Tian Jiahui was also confused, what?
This guy who throws grenades at people at every turn and then goes out with a submachine gun as normal, actually wants to write a novel?

And he writes two books at once!

Is the price up to par with top-tier writers?

Could it be...?

Tian Jiahui grumbled in his heart, but still started to work.

Everything went smoothly. Li Song had two pen names: the one for science fiction novels was Galaxy Ghost, and the other was Beipai Sanshu, who wrote tomb-raiding novels.

After Liu Jiale signed the contract with Zhou Daxing, he had to go back to report, so he said goodbye.

"Old Tian, ​​I still have to trouble you with the company's matters. Take this ten thousand yuan first. Also, please help me inquire about the international patent application." Li Song received ten thousand yuan, which was the remuneration for the 100,000-word manuscript of Ghost Blows Out the Light.

Tian Jiahui hummed, then said: "Mr. Li, I'll be leaving first. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good!"

Tian Jiahui was full of questions, but he couldn't say them. When he arrived at the elevator, a very beautiful girl came out of the elevator. Tian Jiahui just glanced at her, because what happened today overturned his cognition.

"Brother Song." After the elevator door closed, Tian Jiahui seemed to hear the girl calling him Brother Song.

"Hmm?" Tian Jiahui's heart moved, and he remembered the appearance of the girl just now. He originally wanted to go up and take a look, but gave up because there were too many things to digest.

Li Song had just sent Tian Jiahui away and cleared the things on the table when he heard the doorbell and then Alin came.

"Alin, you've worked hard." Li Song said very politely.

"It's not hard, let's get started." Arlene found it easy to get along with Li Song because he was the type of person who wouldn't say anything crazy, wouldn't try to take advantage of her, and wouldn't actively distance himself from her. "Yeah," Li Song nodded.

The next day, Sunday, Tian Jiahui got up early and went to buy the New Evening News, and sure enough, he found that there were new novels on it.

Ghost Blows Out the Light, author: Beipai Sanshu.

"Blank Paper Man!" Tian Jiahui looked at the name of the first chapter, then walked into the tea restaurant with the newspaper.

Tian Jiahui enjoys his current life very much. He is rich, but no one knows it. Those who look down on him think their attitude towards him is a joke to him.

In the morning, Li Song went to the morning market and bought grouper, some beef brisket, some fruits, and milk tea.

I had a rice noodle roll at a tea restaurant, and Alin came soon after I got home.

Li Song is mainly studying English now.

Arlene smelled the aroma of stewed beef brisket in the kitchen, which was added with mushrooms, star anise, ginger and green onions.

"Brother Song has great skills. Your girlfriend will be lucky in the future." Alin said jokingly.

"Thank you for your kind words." Li Song also smiled slightly, then continued to write English while muttering.

Arlene sometimes wonders if there’s something wrong with Li Song’s aesthetic taste, because the boys around her can’t wait to look at her more.

But in front of Li Song, she seemed like an ordinary girl.

Of course, Arlene didn't know that Li Song was socially anxious, and there were all kinds of beauties on the Internet in 2080. Those gene-edited women were as beautiful as they could be, not to mention those with artificial intervention.

There are also many virtual beauties.

For lunch, Li Song had steamed grouper and beef brisket with radish. He was very satisfied with the meal. The taste was much better than the pre-prepared dishes in 2080.

The taste of pre-prepared dishes remains unchanged for ten years, which means that the taste of each dish is the same.

It’s not like cooking at home. Even if it’s the same dish, the taste will be slightly different due to the heat, temperature, seasoning, and side dishes.

"Brother Song, do you like reading these magazines?" Arlene had already seen the various books that Li Song had purchased, mostly magazines, as well as some gossip, the Book of Changes, and more science fiction magazines.

"Yeah." Li Song bought these books just for show, and they were all old books. On the one hand, they were cheap, and on the other hand, other people could tell the difference between new books that hadn't been read, but they couldn't tell the difference between old books.

"I prefer reading. Reading allows me to give full play to my imagination. Ten people reading the same sentence will have different thoughts in their minds."

"The images in TV movies always have some limitations." The reason why Li Song didn't like watching TV at that time was mainly because the scenery was too poor.

Compared with the virtual technology of 2080, it doesn’t look that good, and Li Song has watched these TV series and movies in his previous life.

"Well, Brother Song, what kind of job do you plan to do in the future?" Alin asked again.

"Let's take it one step at a time. I'd probably go to work in a factory." What Li Song meant was that if you open a factory and become a boss, you also have to work in a factory.

"Well, working in a factory is very hard. Brother Song, have you ever considered getting a degree and becoming a clerk, or doing sales or something like that?" Arlene was really thinking about Li Song.

"Learn English first."

"Well, I'll try to get you to learn more before I graduate, and then we can talk in English from now on, how about that?" Arlene suggested.

"Okay." Li Song nodded.
