The days of retirement with the singing queen

The most popular among Zhong Yu's albums are "Someone Like Me" and "Relief of Sorrow". As for these two songs, the first thing that attracts people is the lyrics, and after the lyrics comes the melody. Many people found resonance in these two songs and felt that these two songs touched their hearts.

Someone on the Internet commented that the melody, rhythm, and Zhong Yu’s singing of “Someone Like Me” and “Relief of Sorrow” seemed to exist to match the lyrics of these two songs, but that’s it, everything Only when everything blends together can the lyrics of these two songs be more touching. Similarly, the lyrics of these two songs also make Zhong Yu's story-filled singing more able to evoke people's emotions and resonance.

Zhong Yu went to Haidu to make announcements, and specially made an appointment with Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin to express his gratitude. He also thoughtfully prepared a lot of gifts for Xianxian. This is much better than preparing gifts for Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin. Zhang Suxin and Lu Anzhi said polite words such as "No need" and "Why did you buy these for her?" but in their hearts they felt more towards Zhong Yu. Much better.

Who would dislike a person who is kind to his own children?

Song Xiaoqin was also very satisfied. As one of the singers who participated in "Singer Sets Sail", Zhong Yu also knew that she had a good relationship with Lu Anzhi, and she was also invited by Zhong Yu. This woman watched Xianxian grow up, and her affection for Xianxian was no less than that of Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin.

When they met, they inevitably talked about the past when they participated in "Singer Set Sail". Zhong Yu recalled his former teammates and felt sad. Lu Anzhi said that several of his friends who once formed a band together but eventually parted ways in the face of interests have now been hidden away by Inspur International. Inspur International is now in a precarious situation, and it has no energy to deal with these few attacks. They were unwilling to go back alone and wandered around the capital, barely working to survive.

When Zhong Yu said this, he sighed and said: "Once or twice, they came to see me, and I sat down with them to have a meal and a drink. Then they would sit on the wine table and reminisce with me. The days before. To be honest, I feel quite emotional when I recall the past..."

"so what?"

Song Xiaoqin raised her eyebrows and asked.

Zhong Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But when I heard them talk about it, I only had a feeling that things were different and people were different, and I was a little uninterested. As I sat there, I felt that nothing could go back. The former bands and my relationship with them..."

Song Xiaoqin said: "That's right. I can tell that they just want to use these past events to get close to you and get benefits from you."

Zhong Yu said: "I know. That's why I felt very uncomfortable after drinking that meal. We are such good people, why did it end up like this?"

Song Xiaoqin said indignantly: "They brought it upon themselves!" She participated in the entire "Singer Sets Sail" and heard Lu Anzhi talk about several meetings with Zhong Yu, so she was very clear about Zhong Yu's past events. This woman who has always made a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, was even more excited than Zhong Yu when she heard Zhong Yu talk about these things.

Zhong Yu did not answer Song Xiaoqin's words and was silent for a while. Zhang Suxin sighed and said: "Those... friends of yours are all in vain. They have already joined Inspur International, and their contracts are all in the hands of Inspur International. You are from Shengyin, not from Inspur International. They have been hired by Inspur International." International Snow, your help won’t do much for them.”

"Um."

Zhong Yu nodded, he also understood this. "I gave them some money and let them do what they wanted. I never heard from them again," he said.

"You gave them money back?!"

Song Xiaoqin immediately slapped the table, unhappy with the ending, "If you put this in a novel, readers will definitely criticize you!"

Lu An's way: "It's fine if you're not the protagonist."

Song Xiaoqin glared at Lu Anzhi fiercely.

"Pfft..."

Zhang Suxin couldn't help but laugh.

Zhong Yu laughed along with him, Xianxian didn't know what he understood, and also laughed "chuckily". Finally, Song Xiaoqin was speechless for a while and started laughing too.

After this brief gathering, Zhong Yu continued to work, rushing to other places non-stop to attend the next announcement.

When Lu Anzhi, Zhang Suxin, and Song Xiaoqin returned home with Xianxian, Lu Anzhi received a call from Wang Ping.

On the phone, Wang Ping told Lu Anzhi that the new store Baicao Garden had hired a clerk, and asked Lu Anzhi whether he wanted to see it in person. Lu Anzhi said no, just leave it to Wang Ping. He didn't want the new clerk to know that he was the boss of Baicao Garden for the time being. He could let him know after he got to know the new clerk gradually and was sure that he was reliable.

Then Wang Ping told Lu Anzhi about the situation of the new clerk. Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin were both nearby, so they both heard about the situation of the new clerk Xu Changqing.

After Song Xiaoqin heard about the past events between Xu Changqing and his ex-wife, she couldn't help but look at Lu Anzhi several times. After Lu Anzhi hung up the phone, she asked Lu Anzhi: "Why is this person's experience so familiar?!"

Lu Anzhi said: "Didn't you just hear it a few days ago?"

Zhang Suxin sighed and said, "Oh, I thought those messy emotional stories you told me were all made up out of thin air. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Lu Anzhi said: "The world is so big that there are many wonders. And reality is often more bizarre than fiction. It is not surprising that such a thing happens."

Song Xiaoqin had already guessed the plot: "Then tell me, Xu Changqing's wife... um... ex-wife, will she regret it in the future? I guess she will. The so-called Bai Yueguang is all about the hard feelings in memory. She is now running towards the white moonlight, but the longing for the beautiful past has affected her thoughts and emotions. But the real life is not a dream, the reality is food, rice, oil and salt. The better the longing, the more cruel the reality will be to him. Somersault.”

When Zhang Suxin heard Song Xiaoqin's words, she couldn't help but comment: "I didn't expect you, Xiaoqin, to be a philosopher and be able to say such philosophical words."

Xianxian was drawing on the coffee table with her little butt sticking out. None of Lu Anzhi or the other three people noticed. The little guy was still eavesdropping while he was drawing. Hearing Zhang Suxin's words, the little guy immediately raised his head and asked, "What is a philosopher?"

Zhang Suxin smiled and said: "The philosopher is your sister Song."

Xianxian narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Giggle, giggle, so funny!"

"Hit me!"

Song Xiaoqin became angry and pretended to beat Zhang Suxin.

Xianxian immediately dropped the paintbrush in her hand and ran to Zhang Suxin to stop her, and pushed Song Xiaoqin hard.

Song Xiaoqin pretended to be angry and said: "What a shame, you Xianxian! You have forgotten your sister when you have a mother, right?"

Zhang Suxin felt warm in her heart, hugged Xianxian and said, "Okay, don't worry, my sister and mother are joking."

Xianxian looked at Zhang Suxin and then at Song Xiaoqin, her expression relaxed a little, but she was still a little wary.

Song Xiaoqin suddenly felt a sense of frustration in her heart, and said, "After all, they are your biological children, but the feelings are different."

Zhang Suxin glanced at Song Xiaoqin and said with a smile, "You can have one too."

"You don't want to pick up any of the pots, right?"

Song Xiaoqin glared at Zhang Suxin angrily again.

However, they just chatted casually. After a few words, they all went to play with Xianxian. Xianxian also forgot about the little conflict just now and had fun with Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin.

Lu Anzhi went to open his laptop. He just heard Wang Ping say on the phone that Xu Changqing also tried to write a novel and submitted it under the maple tree. During the phone call, Lu Anzhi also told Wang Ping that if he was not busy at ordinary times, Xu Changqing would be allowed to take some time to write novels in the store - as long as it did not affect the normal operation of the bookstore.

Wang Ping naturally couldn't help but praise him, saying that the boss was really a good person.

Now, Lu Anzhi was inevitably a little curious about Xu Changqing's novels. He also asked Wang Ping to ask what the pen name of Xu Changqing was. Later, Wang Ping told him that Xu Changqing did not have a pen name and used his real name "Xu Changqing". He opened Qiuqiu and saw that his editor-in-chief, Ku Ku, was indeed online, so he took the initiative to say: What are you doing?

Kuku immediately sent a series of messages.

Kuku:?

Bitter!

Kuku: Boss B?

Kuku: Who logged into Boss B’s account?

Kuku: Sister B?

Kuku: Zhang Suxin?

Lu Anzhi looked at this series of short responses and was speechless for a moment.

This editor-in-chief is really outrageous. What is Sister B? !

He asked in Qiuqiu: What is your reaction?

Kuku: every...

Kuku: It’s just a rare occasion for me to see you, Boss B, take the initiative to talk to me. It feels like the sun is rising in the west.

Lu Anzhi: What you said is as if I always play with you.

Kuku: Pretty much.

Lu Anzhi:......

Kuku: What’s wrong with Boss B?

Lu Anzhi: I would like to ask if someone named Xu Changqing has submitted an article to your magazine. Check to see if it's in your manuscript. If not, ask someone else.

Kuku: Yes, what a coincidence, it’s in my hand. The manuscript has passed the preliminary review and was just sent to the editor today. What's wrong, Boss B, do you know this Xu Changqing?

Lu Anzhi: I know him, but I’m not familiar with him. A little curious. How was his manuscript?

Kuku: The writing is good and the writing skills are very strong. But the story is a bit rigid. There should be no problem with his manuscript being reviewed and published, but I am mainly optimistic about his future. I feel that if he can absorb and learn the story routines that are currently popular on the Internet, he will have development potential.

Lu Anzhi: That’s right.

However, I usually can't tell that I, an editor who usually only knows "B boss B boss", can actually say something with a professional temperament. What a surprise.

Fortunately, Kunku didn't hear what he was thinking, otherwise he would have said resentfully: Boss B, don't you see what kind of pervert you are!

After hearing what Kuku said, Lu Anzhi was very curious about Xu Changqing's novels. However, he was not a casual person, and he did not ask for Xu Changqing's manuscript. In that case, it would probably be a bit difficult for me as an editor.

He told Kuku: If Xu Changqing's manuscript is published, please remember to tell me. I'd better go take a look.

Kuku: Okay, no problem. If there are no differences, it will probably be published in the next issue.

Lu Anzhi replied: OK.

Then get ready to go offline.

But just when he was about to close Qiuqiu, he saw Kuku and sent another message.

When he saw it, the content of Kukufa was: By the way, Boss B, I want to tell you in advance that our version under the maple tree may be revised.

Lu Anzhi was a little surprised: Revised version? Aren’t you doing a good job under the maple tree? What version should I change?

Under the Maple Tree is now quite famous, and can be said to be a first-rate presence in the electronic magazine industry. Logically speaking, this kind of electronic magazine with stable development should not be revised. But under the maple tree, people actually thought about revamping the version, which is really surprising.

He saw the new message sent by Ku Ku: Boss B, you don’t know that the Internet situation is changing day by day, and the new situation has a huge impact on us. We have always been a magazine-based model, with revenue mainly coming from publishing. However, this model has been impacted recently.

Lu Anzhi asked: What impact?

Kuku: It’s just a talker. Huoke has been revised and now focuses on novels. They provide an environment in which novels are published and then allow authors to publish on them. If the novel is about the same popularity, it will be evaluated and recommended to the publisher. Several novels have now come out from Huoke, and they have been successfully published and have achieved good sales.

Lu Anzhi:......

He instantly thought of Tianya in his previous life, and the Longkong Forum, which later became a gathering place for authors after trying to follow this model but failed. He couldn't help but sigh.

Kuku said again in Qiuqiu: In addition, Maple Tree is so popular now, and more and more people are submitting articles to Maple Tree. We feel that this current model is increasingly falling behind in dealing with the Internet age. This situation, coupled with the external impact of Huoke, if we stand still, we will be eliminated sooner or later. So the revision is imminent.

Lu Anzhi: You are quite aware of the crisis.

The impact of free content on paid content, greater publishing opportunities, and publishing channels that require editorial screening are all advantages for both readers and authors. Even a greater publishing opportunity does not mean a publishing opportunity.

I just didn't expect that Maple Tree could realize this so quickly, which was quite foresight.

Kuku: Yes, our team was the first to transform the physical magazine into an electronic magazine.

Lu Anzhi: So what are you planning to change the magazine into? Like Hua Ke?

Kuku: Probably so. At present, it seems that this novel forum format is the most suitable for the Internet.

Lu Anzhi sat in front of the computer and thought for a while before typing out one sentence: I don't think so.

Kuku: What?

Lu Anzhi: I have an idea, which is to make the website a complete novel reading platform. Instead of using a forum-like layout, use something similar to the recently emerged shopping websites. Allowing everyone to publish novels directly on the platform for free for people to read. At the same time, you can conduct a preliminary review of these novels, and if they meet the requirements, you can sign a contract to arrange follow-up matters.
