Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 5: Can I get 100 yuan now?
"You have a new call that's not going through."

Looking at the incoming call reminder, Chen Yi dialed the number marked "Xiaoxian".

Xiaoxian is Chen Yi's younger sister in this world.

Ten days ago, Chen Yi, who had just arrived in this world, didn't know how to face this sister.

He himself was an online writer in his previous life and was not very good at communication.

In addition, Chen Yi did not have a sister in his previous life, which made Chen Yi a little uncomfortable.

But fortunately.

After slowly integrating the original owner's memories over the past ten days, Chen Yi completely accepted everything about the original owner.

"Brother, what have you been doing these days? You never answer the phone."

Listening to Chen Xiaoxian's voice, Chen Yi felt warm and replied: "Didn't I tell you, I am writing a novel."

"Novel, haven't you been writing short stories and novels?"

"Well, you can make more money from novels, but short stories always start at the beginning, and you can't make much money. I want to tell you good news, my novel will be published soon."

"publishing?"

Heard published.

It was obvious that the other party's voice was raised several times.

Apparently he was also shocked by Chen Yi's good news: "Brother, you are talking about publishing in books."

"Silly girl, isn't publishing just printed in a book?"

"Brother, you know I don't read much. But I'm not stupid, I'm smart..."

Chen Xiaoxian jumped up excitedly: "Brother, I knew you could do it, it's great, brother, you are simply too talented. Brother, come to my shop, and I'll cook some side dishes for you to celebrate .”

"What's there to celebrate? It's publishing. Besides, you're just the little chef in the store, and you act like you're the boss."

"Hmm, brother, I will definitely be the boss."

"Yes, yes, I believe she will be the future gourmet queen, right?"

"Of course."

"Hahaha, I believe you will become the queen of food. In a few months, I will receive the royalties from my book and open a small shop for you."

"That's great, brother, you are the best to me. But... let's forget it and save it first."

"What are you saving it for?"

"Brother, it's not like you don't know how expensive our betrothal gifts are in southern Ganxi. You'd better keep your royalties to marry your sister-in-law."

"I'll go. The little girl is only so old, so she's only thinking about this. Your brother and I are only in our sophomore year. It's too early to marry a sister-in-law."

"It's just because it's still early, so I have to save it. You see, Big Dog Brother is not married yet at such an old age, so don't be like Big Dog Brother."

"Okay, okay, let's suspend this topic. Even if you want to marry, in the future, brother will marry someone who doesn't want a bride price. No, marry someone who buys a lot of dowry."

"Wow, that's great. But, brother, you have to come to your door."

"What's wrong with coming to the house? You may not know that my stomach has not been feeling well lately and I just like to eat soft rice."

"Pfft..."

Chen Xiaoxian laughed until her stomach ached, and replied, "Brother, you're going to laugh me to death."

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to cook. Let's talk later..."

Done.

Chen Xiaoxian slapped her phone and hung up the phone.

But even though they were cooking, Chen Xiaoxian excitedly said to the colleague next to her, "Xiaoer, you know my brother, I thought I told you. My brother is a writer, a real writer, and his novel will be published soon. You Do you know what publishing is? It’s something printed on books, just like the textbooks we read in school. It’s awesome... I’ll give you a book signed by my brother when the time comes.”

the other side.

Looking at the hot-tempered little girl, Chen Yi felt warm in his heart again.

It's nice to have a sister.

not to mention.

this world.

The only relative who is related to Chen Yi by blood is his younger sister.

Yes.

In this world, Chen Yi and Chen Xiaoxian are orphans.

Their mother died when the two were young.

His father "Chen Deping" started by opening a small restaurant and gradually expanded it, and finally opened more than 100 franchise stores.

But just when my father wanted to go one step further and prepare to put the hotel on the market.

I don’t want to take too big a step and end up with a broken capital chain.

Because Chen Deping could not bear such a blow and was burdened with tens of millions of foreign debts, he finally chose to commit suicide.

then.

There are only two people left in this world, Chen Yi and Chen Xiaoxian.

But fortunately both of them are strong.

Although their father passed away, the poor life did not knock them down.

Chen Yi worked part-time while studying, and with government support, he was admitted to the Chinese Department of Bauhinia University.

My sister Chen Xiaoxian gave up her studies and learned cooking.

Chen Yi knew.

The reason why Chen Xiaoxian learned to cook was because she wanted to inherit her father's legacy.

Although this doesn't seem very promising.

but.

Not necessarily.

Now that I have come to this world.

In addition to trying every means to be a good porter, you have to do some other meaningful things.for example.

It would be nice to have a gourmet queen in the Chen family.

……

"You've advanced, you've advanced, Chen Yi, you've advanced."

"What advanced?"

"Holy shit, you don't remember?"

"Can not remember."

"Essay contest."

"Oh."

This said.

Chen Yi remembered.

These days, Chen Yi focuses more on novels, not prose.

after all.

Just like he said when he was on the phone with his sister.

Although essays may seem high-end, they actually don’t make much money.

What really makes money is novels.

So Chen Yi is not particularly interested in prose.

If Li Xin, the tablemate, said that this essay competition was rich, Chen Yi would not have participated.

"Look, more than 500 people signed up, but only 100 made the cut. "The Feet of the Creeper" you wrote is among them."

Li Xinxin opened the official website on his mobile phone and said.

"Li Xin, isn't your name also there?"

Li Xin replied with some embarrassment: "Well, haha... I know my level, and it's all luck to advance this time, but I feel that you can at least win the top three."

"forget it."

Chen Yi shook his head.

Of course Chen Yi wants to be in the top three.

But mainly.

If you want to continue to advance, you must continue to write good prose.

Although Chen Yi can also write prose.

But as an online author in his previous life, he mostly wrote highly commercial works.

Chen Yi knew that his level of writing this kind of literary prose was average and far from being enough to win the championship.

I wanted to use the system to copy an article.

As a result, even the "Complete Collection of Chinese Prose" awarded by this system was incomplete.

So far, he has only one article, "The Feet of the Creeper".

As for how to make the system display other articles again, Chen Yi is not sure.

But he wasn't particularly concerned about it right now.

There is another more important thing waiting for Chen Yi to do.

"Li Xin, do you have the phone number of the competition organizer?"

After thinking about it, Chen Yi said to Li Xin.

"Uh, why do you need a phone?"

"I have something to ask them."

"I am searching."

After a while, Li Xin found a phone number.

Pressing the number, Chen Yi dialed the organizer of the competition.

"Hello, are you Teacher Xie?"

"Yes you are?"

"I am Chen Yi from Class 3 of the Chinese Department."

"Oh, it's you. I know you. The article you wrote is "The Feet of the Creeper."

"Yes, Mr. Xie."

"Classmate Chen Yi, your essay is very good. Congratulations, you have advanced."

"Thank you, teacher. I saw it on the official website just now. However, I want to ask, um, when will this competition end?"

"It will take about two weeks, and there will be two PKs. Student Chen Yi, I believe in your strength. You are a strong contender for the championship."

"This, this..."

After hearing it for two weeks, Chen Yi had a headache.

Two weeks is really a long time.

Although I have written a lot of manuscripts in the past few days, they have all been rejected and have not been accepted.

I didn’t even earn 50 yuan in royalties.

This makes Chen Yi's life very stressful.

After thinking about it, Chen Yi said: "Teacher Xie, it seems that it is written in the rules of the competition that all those who advance will have a reward of 100 yuan."

"Yes, it is indeed written in the rules?"

"Teacher Xie, what I mean is, can I receive the 100 yuan now?"

Chen Yi asked extremely seriously.
