Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Summer vacation is over
The pen name "Xu Renshan" is becoming more and more famous in Jinjiang.
In the novel comment area, countless female readers leave messages every day urging updates.
One book club group was not enough, so he was forced to open three more book club groups, but they were all filled within an hour.
Of course, Xu Xiuwen still adheres to the concept that the book club only accepts women, not men, and also publishes an announcement to let the group members supervise each other. If a male reader pretends to be a female reader and joins the group, the management will be notified and people will be kicked out immediately.
Later, it became necessary to take photos to join the group.
When Xu Xiuwen occasionally took a break, he would hide in front of the screen and watch the female book friends take photos.
Not to mention, there are quite a few beauties among book friends.
It's now 2005. Unlike later generations where beauty photos were rampant, the photos of girls today are pretty, and the person in person is basically not much different from the photos.
There are a few female readers who are very attracted to Xu Xiuwen, who is young, beautiful and temperamental.
In order to maintain his image, he did not take the initiative to add anyone to the Penguin account, thinking that if the female book friends added him, he would agree to it.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, no female book friends joined him, which made him disappointed for a long time.
The royalties for the first book were also received in August.
The final royalties received were a total of 250,000 yuan.
Including the previous bonus of 50,000, the total is 300,000.
People can't stand the hot weather in August, so Xu Xiuwen took the initiative to install three Yozi air conditioners in his home, one for the living room and two for the bedroom.
Yoko Air Conditioning is their local air conditioning factory with very good quality and cheap prices.
However, Yoko air conditioners had almost no market brand promotion strategy. In addition, they were concentrated in the third and fourth tier markets with low sales. Therefore, with the establishment of Mingzhu Air Conditioners in Fei City in 2006, life for Yoko air conditioners became increasingly difficult. By 2010 from now on, it will be difficult to maintain the development of Yoko air conditioners.
But now, the development of Yoko air conditioners is just okay. At least it is developing well locally. The locals recognize Yoko air conditioners and basically choose Yoko when buying air conditioners.
Buying an air conditioner for home was just a small thing in Xu Xiuwen's opinion, but obviously Ning Wanqiu didn't think so.
At first, Ning Wanqiu was worried that the source of his money was unknown. Later, when she heard that he earned it from writing novels, she was still worried.
It wasn't until Xu Xiuwen opened the backstage and showed Ning Wanqiu his author's backstage and the signing contract that Ning Wanqiu believed him.
Ning Wanqiu couldn't believe it when she learned that Xu Xiuwen had earned 30,000 yuan from writing books.
Although Ning Wanqiu was not a person who liked to show off, her son had earned so much money from writing books, so it was inevitable that she would want to share it with people she was close to.
The wealth should not be exposed. Xu Xiuwen was worried that Ning Wanqiu would spill the beans, so he deceived his mother into writing a book and earned only 30,000 yuan. He was worried that if he told her that it was 250,000 yuan, others would probably borrow the money regardless of what they saw. There will be quite a few.
These days, two hundred and fifty thousand is not a small number in a third-tier small city like Langya.
Ning Wanqiu told Zhang Ruoshu about Xu Xiuwen writing books to make money, and that night, Xiao Youran asked him about the situation on Penguin.
Xu Xiuwen could now treat Xiao Youran with a normal heart, so he told her yes without hiding it.
Then Xiao Youran was so happy, as if she had earned the money.
Of course, no matter how happy she is, Xiao Youran still has to go to the driving school to practice driving during the day.
She had only been practicing driving for less than two months, and Xiao Youran's skin was already tanned.
For this reason, Xiao Youran often complained to Xu Xiuwen acting coquettishly. But Xu Xiuwen thinks it's okay, because Xiao Youran used to be too fair, too white, and now a little tan is just right.
In addition to Xiao Youran complaining about the hot weather and being too exposed to the sun while learning to drive, Xiao Youran also told Xu Xiuwen without missing a beat which boy talked to him and what he said.
Xu Xiuwen had already told her that there was no need to tell him these things, but she still went her own way.
After seeing that it didn't work, Xu Xiuwen stopped stopping her.
Cao Yu knew from somewhere that Xiao Youran was learning to drive at a driving school, so he also signed up.
Since signing up, Cao Yu has been following Xiao Younang like a mangy dog all day long.
Xiao Youran knew what he meant, but she was not moved at all. Instead, she found him annoying.
She didn't want to talk to Cao Yu at all, but she couldn't stop him from coming to practice driving. She told him several times not to bother her, but when it didn't work, she could only try to ignore him.
Xiao Youran was worried that Xu Xiuwen would misunderstand her, so the first thing she did when she got home every day was to explain what Cao Yu said during the day and hee attitude on Penguin.
Xiao Youran did this, firstly, because she was afraid that Xu Xiuwen would misunderstand, and secondly, she also wanted to stimulate Xu Xiuwen.
In Xiao Youran's opinion, Xu Xiuwen must like her.
After all, he just confessed to her. If he didn't like her, how could he confess to her?
Even if Xu Xiuwen empathizes, he is not so quick.
Xiao Youran now regrets that she could not let go of her dignity and did not directly agree to Xu Xiuwen's confession.
She is now looking forward to Xu Xiuwen's confession every day. If so, she will definitely agree immediately.
Unfortunately, Xu Xiuwen never confessed again, which made Xiao Youran very disappointed.
As for her taking the initiative to confess, Xiao Youran couldn't do such a thing out of a girl's reserve.
But the good news is that the relationship between the two has returned to normal these days.
Although Xu Xiuwen doesn't hang around her all day like before, at least as long as she sends him a message, he will reply to her.
Xiao Youran is already very satisfied.
As for the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, Xiao Youran is not too anxious. There are still four years of college left, and she can afford to wait.
In the blink of an eye, it will be September 1st, and the university will start.
Xu Xiuwen went to the street to buy himself a lot of clothes and sneakers before school started.
And of course the most important thing is the mobile phone.
This year Nokia's N series was released, and the n90 was launched in the port on August 12. Xu Xiuwen spent more than 7,000 yuan and asked a female book friend in the port group to buy one on his behalf.
Nokia n90 is Nokia's flagship mobile phone this year. It has a special and very creative rotating clamshell design, which is hard not to make anyone see it.
It's just that the price is too expensive!
7,000 yuan. At this time in 2005, not many people were willing to spend so much money to buy a mobile phone.
The mobile phone actually arrived in mid-August, and Xu Xiuwen didn't even dare to use it in front of his mother.
Three days before the start of school, Xiao Youran asked him again on Penguin, "My dad will drove me to report to school. Xiao Xu, do you want to come along?"
After getting Xu Xiuwen's negative answer, Xiao Youran didn't say anything further.
Langya is very close to Jinling. It takes less than an hour to get there by car and less than two hours by bus.
Xu Xiuwen set out on the morning of September 1st, alone.
Ning Wanqiu initially insisted on accompanying him to report to school, but after Xu Xiuwen's reasonable analysis, she finally agreed to give him a ride to school by himself.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Xu Xiuwen dragged his suitcase out. After walking a few steps, he saw Father Xiao and Xiao Youran at the door of the community.
Seeing Xiao Youran and father Xiao waiting at the door, they were obviously waiting for him.
Xu Xiuwen had a headache, but there was only one door and he couldn't change the door to go out, so he had to walk through it.
