Both of you are dating?

So, what's going on?

I dragged her into some trouble before,

and caused her to lose out on her salary.

She almost had to sleep on the street.

That period

was when Book of Luo He God

was about to be prepared.

I was afraid that her being homeless

would affect her creativity,

so I lent her my second-floor room.

Why are you so nervous?

So, why was she in your room?

Was it to hide from me?

Yes!

So, the two of you really don't

have that kind of relationship
that I imagined?

No!

It seems I still have a chance.

That's good.

What's so good?

Chu Li.

Hey!

Don't make noise.

Chu Li.

I like you.

But...

Sir...

What's your problem, Jiang Yu Cheng?

You eat when you're tired,

you sleep when you're hungry.

If you're sick go see a doctor,

don't be crazy here!

Chu Li.

I know this is very sudden,

but I'm not joking.

Zhou Chuan,

Chu Li is our editor.

She isn't one of your underlings,

and definitely isn't your belonging.

To you,

she is nothing but your editor.

To me...

Yes.

But to me,

I hope that she becomes my girlfriend.

It's okay.

Don't rush to answer me.

About Book of Luo He God,

it was done very well.

My publishing agreement

can be signed tomorrow.

Really?

That's amazing!

I'll meet you at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Okay!

Leave now!

Leave, what are you looking at? Leave!

Leave!

I'm warning you now.

Don't be fooled by his sweet words.

It's impossible between you two.

I...

Why is it impossible?

So, you actually want to be with him?

I have not slept since last night,

so my head is really dizzy.

I'm going to catch up on sleep.

Sir,

good night!

Oh god,

he can't be telling the truth, right?

[Why is it not him?]

What should I do?

God, he's just too good.

Why do you think it's him?

What could she possibly mean?

Could it be she really likes
Jiang Yu Cheng?

Hey, is this Wu Ye?

How do I change the house's password?

[Corner Bookstore]

Mr Jiang, don't worry.

I won't let you down.

I know.

Why are you speaking so softly?

Do you believe it?

[What are they talking about?]

[These bookshelves block sound so well!]

Zhou Chuan is in this bookstore

looking at us from some corner.

No way.

Mr Zhou Chuan.

Are you looking for a book? Need any help?

You have sharp eyes.

You can recognise me in this disguise.

I...

Nothing, I'm just browsing.

I'm leaving.

I hope I didn't scare you yesterday.

Sorry, I didn't mean it.

However,

I meant everything I said yesterday.

I hope you can consider it seriously.

Mr Jiang,

I'm honoured that you like me.

However...

Anyway, I'm sorry, Mr Jiang.

It's okay.

I won't give up just because

you have feelings for someone else.

You should just give up.

I'm done signing.

I'll send you back to
Yuan Yue Publishing House.

Ms Liu, low down.

Today's weather is really nice.

Bai Zhi,

let's take a walk in the yard.

Of course.

I'll take over. Thank you.

♫ They say strange things
and keep rapport ♫

♫ Guileless adults are reduced to a joke ♫

Today's weather is really nice.

I haven't felt such wind in a while.

Back then when the old man was around,

♫ Unceasingly, here to stay ♫

he liked to hold my hands
and walk with me in the park.

With a light breeze on our faces,

♫ No dancing on the roof, but rain ♫

seeing light peek through the trees,

listening to birds and insects chirp.

♫ The loneliness has found
a place and moved out ♫

All the worries we had

would fade away with the wind.

♫ Guests sillier than me
argue and exaggerate ♫

That was the happiest time of my life.

♫ The moon is
outrageously beautiful tonight ♫

Ms Liu, I will come more often

and spend more time walking with you.

♫ Lend me the light on your face ♫

I still remember

when you and Jiang visited me at home.

♫ I've been giddy from drifting
in a sea of people ♫

He was holding your hand,

and did not let go even
after both of you left.

♫ Unwilling to admit my anticipation
of getting submitted to gentleness ♫

I could feel that both of you are happy.

Ms Liu, those are all past.

♫ I want to be led by you,
albeit a meager freedom ♫

The experiences of two people together

are what made up the past.

♫ The Hand of the Creator
has finally seen to ♫

It is only when we lose someone,

♫ The alien's call for help ♫

then we regret not treasuring

whatever we used to have.

When I was just married,

I couldn't stand the snoring

of my husband at all.

It was so noisy every night

and I couldn't sleep at all.

♫ To always be a source of warmth
just for you ♫

But as time passed,

I got used to it.

♫ A mysterious weakness, came into being ♫

Now, he isn't here anymore.

There's no snoring
and it's not noisy anymore.

♫ Melting, chewing ♫

But, I'm not longer used to it.

♫ There's no hiding at the dining table.
There's only our joined souls ♫

We can't turn the time.

You

are just too headstrong.

♫ I'm drifting in a sea of people.
And will frequently look back ♫

You never willing to give in.

That's why your relationship has trouble.

♫ Scared to reach out my hand
that no one will save me ♫

Ms Liu, I'm really fine now.

No one is troubling me.

It's because you lose someone

♫ How rich can concrete skyscrapers be ♫

that made your life

less wonderful.

♫ You are a rare shining oasis ♫

Bai Zhi,

you need to think this through.

♫ Exactly what I want ♫

Chu Li,

didn't you go get Mr Jiang's signature?

Why did you buy something too?

Mr Jiang bought these for all of you.

He wants to extend
his regards to everyone.

Chu Li,

Mr Jiang has signed the contract, right?

It doesn't matter if he lost popularity.

This book will still sell well.

To you, is the quality of an author

only defined by his marketability?

Since you like numbers so much,

circulation department
is more suitable for you.

Chu Li, what colour do you like?

Take whichever flavour you like.

Thank you.

[Flying Elephant: Teatime welfare
provided by Mr Jiang]

Teatime welfare.

Greetings from Mr Jiang?

That Jiang is really crafty.

He even sent welfare to the editors.

These underhanded tactics...

Hello?

Stay away from those macarons.

[You'll become fat.]

How do you know about it?

You don't have to know.

You are not allowed to eat the desserts.

Sir, you sounded like

the desserts are laced with arsenic.

Why can't I eat it?

I...

This is a kind reminder from me.

Your body weight

is not suited to eat.

Fairies have no weight.

I'll suspect that you're jealous.

Who would I be jealous of?

Would I be jealous of you destroying the
relationship of Jiang Yu Cheng and me?

She hung up on me again!

Oh, Er Gou.

She only thinks about Jiang Yu Cheng now.

She has forgotten us.

It's so late and she's still not back.

Er Gou.

It's so late now.

Why have you still not fed Er Gou?

My pitiful Er Gou.

I will feed you.

Come.

I also haven't eaten.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

ever since yesterday,

you've been acting very strange.

Your book is selling well.
Why are you so irritable?

Who offended you?

An ungrateful person hung up on me.

I'll help you to teach her a lesson.

I'll go make dinner.

Wait.

That...

About the question that Jiang Yu Cheng
asked you yesterday.

How much have you thought about it?

I've clarified things with him.

What did you clarify?

Nothing much.

You shouldn't care about this.

Why is she blushing?

Because of Jiang Yu Cheng?

Chu Li!

I heard that the Book of Luo He God

is about to receive praise today.

Ms Li, why are you here?

I'm also a member
of the editorial department!

I have to be here
during glorious time like this!

There might even be awards.

The Book of Luo He God sold so well.

The prize money must be at least 5000!

It might even be tens of thousands!

I already think 5000 is a lot.
I didn't expect tens of thousands.

Remember to treat us when the time comes!

Miao said that

if Book of Luo He God sells well,

he will give you his position
as deputy editor.

Let's go! I can't wait!

See, even signs are being put up!

Congratulations, Chu Li!

It's only been just over half a year,

and you've become the ace editor of
Yuan Yue Publishing House.

See, I told you!

Make sure to remember
the look on Miao's face.

Bye!

You had the luck to stand on
the giant's shoulder.

With its support, you did an amazing job.

Congratulations, Chu Li.

Thank you, Xiao Niao.

I hope you find a giant
which belongs to you soon too.

[Book of Luo He God]

[Book of Luo He God
Sales about to surpass]

Come lend me a hand.

Okay.

Hello, can you all straighten this?

Hello, who are you looking for?

I'm here to meet Deputy Editor Miao.

Hello, please have some warm water.

I'm Chu Li from the editorial department.

You are?

Suo Heng.

You're the author of Golden Spears and
Armoured Horses, Ms Suo Heng?

You know about me?

This book has a majestic writing style,

with a tragic and heroic story.

I thought it was written by a male author!

I did not imagine it was written by
such a beauty.

It's nothing like that.

I only have this book which is
liked by a few people.

How can that be? You're being too humble.

You were here to meet
Deputy Editor Miao, right?

I'll give him a call now,

and ask where he is.

Please wait for me.

Hello?

[Hello, Deputy Editor Miao?]
Where are you?

Ms Suo Heng is here waiting for you.

[Please tell Suo Heng.]

[I have some things to handle outside]

and won't be back to the
editorial department anytime soon.

Never mind, just pass the phone to her.

I'll explain it to her.

Hello, Deputy Editor Miao?

I've made some suitable amendments

following what you told me.

[Suo Heng,]

I'll be frank with you.

In your current condition,

I understood the things
you've written before,

but it's useless no matter how much
you changed.

[How about this?]

[I'll send over some authors' works
for you to read in a bit.]

[Take a look at them and reflect]

[before you continue writing.]

We'll move forward like this.

I'm busy handling some matters.

Let's end here.
[Bye!]

Miao...

I'll leave now. I'm sorry.

Suo...

Mum,

Li Wei has guaranteed me

that he will be back

before Qiu Qiu's Sports' Day.

Ms Suo Heng, please hold on!

Ms Suo Heng! Ms...

That Deputy Editor Miao is really bad.

How can he dump someone here

with just a call?

Chu Li.

Do your work well.

Don't let your author down.

Book of Luo He God is making
a name for itself.

Jiang Yu Cheng even gave you
his new book to you.

You need to continue your good work.

If Jiang Yu Cheng can rise from the ashes,

it will also serve as a ray of hope

for authors who are currently in a slump.

I will do my best.

Director Gu,

this is the list of authors who will
participate in the Book Exchange.

Please take a look.

Is Jiang Yu Cheng not attending?

Jiang Yu Cheng has contacted us,

but he said he would not attend.

Put his name on the list.

I'll follow up on this matter myself.

Okay.

There's another thing.

Yun Fei's book has been on hiatus
for three days already.

We couldn't contact him.

Have you been to his house?

We've been there. No one was in.

I'll handle it.

[Hello, the caller you are dialling
is currently switched off.]

[Please dial again shortly.]

How did you find me?

You always play here
whenever you're unhappy.

You should find somewhere new.

Tell me. What's wrong?

When something happened to Ms Liu
the other day,

you just cried in front of him.

Before he arrived,

I was always by your side.

Am I so unreliable?

Just because of this?

Of course not.

Both Jiang Yu Cheng and I

write mystery stories.

When my first book was published,

some people called me
a mini Jiang Yu Cheng.

Fine.

So, I avoided modern stories.

I wrote stories about the past.

I just don't want to be called
a mini Jiang Yu Cheng.

But Ms Liu...

When she met me that day,

she also called me Xiao Jiang.

Then you got drunk,

held onto my hand

and called out his name.

I am not a mini Jiang Yu Cheng.

I am Yun Fei.

You're clear about
the situation I'm in, right?

That day,

I really was drunk.

I'm sorry.

No one sees you as just a replacement.

What's the point of

driving yourself into a dead end?

I don't know where you got

such messy thoughts from.

But no matter where they're from,

you have to dispose of them.

What's most important to you
right now is writing.

Don't forget that when
spring comes next year,

you and Jiang Yu Cheng will publish
new stories at the same time.

Don't you want to stop being called
a mini Jiang Yu Cheng?

If you beat him,
he will be the mini Yun Fei.

Sister.

Do you think I can do it?

Of course.

How can someone scouted by me ever lose?

Alright.

I'll be going back to write.

Go.

For you.

Thank you.

[I've recently been reading
Zhou Chuan's Book of Luo He God.]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkey]

[Through this masterpiece,]

[I've definitely come in contact with
an interesting soul.]

[And it's one in a million.]

[All the complaints you've had of him]

[are clearly your biases showing.]

[I've discovered that he's even more
outstanding than Jiang Yu Cheng.]

[You're really a poor judge of people.]

[The Disappearing Mr Fox]

[Thank you for your confidence
in this book.]

[I'm extremely honoured.]

[But an interesting soul and a toxic soul]

[are fundamentally different.]

She has the nerve to say my soul is toxic?

[The Navy Hired by the Monkey]

[Even Zhou Chuan
is uninteresting for you.]

[You must have a really high standard.]

[So, what are your standards
in choosing a partner?]

[Someone like Jiang Yu Cheng?]

[Do all girls like phoney men like him?]

What's up with Mr Fox?

He keeps asking these weird questions.

My standard of a partner,
is it Jiang Yu...

Chu Li,

Hurry, look at the email!

[Yes]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkey]

[Yes.]

You're here too?

I was thinking about inviting you.

I don't like the way you played it.

What's up with you?

Are you not going to use a racket?

Don't talk so much.

I'll be playing against you.

Ever since graduating from high school,

I haven't played

such a fun match of squash with you.

You asked to be tortured.

When do you plan on telling Chu Li

that you are her online friend?

I don't plan to tell her.

Why are you suddenly asking about this?

[I'm honoured that you like me.]

[However,]

[I already have someone I like.]

[Who is it?]

[Zhou Chuan?]

[It's...]

[It's a friend online I made
a long time ago.]

[His name is Mr Fox.]

[Mr Fox?]

[So, does this Mr Fox]

[know about your feelings?]

[Does he also like you?]

[I'm not very sure either.]

[Anyway, I'm sorry, Mr Jiang.]

You've always been

an awkward

and indirect person since young.

I can't hear what you're saying.

Speaking of being awkward,

some people really are dense.

Just like a drowning person finding
a piece of driftwood,

then claiming it as his own.

When seeing a good umbrella
on a rainy day,

he wants to snatch it out
from others' hands.

She's been quietly supporting me
all these years.

It's quite unclear

that who will be the winner.

Someone like Gu Bai Zhi suits you.

Don't trouble Chu Li.

Stay away from her.

Whether or not we're suitable,

I'm very clear about that.

You aren't being jealous, right?

What would I be jealous of you?

What would I be jealous of you?

Are your sales better than mine?

Or are you more popular than me?

I'm warning you.

I'm Yuan Ye Publishing House's
ace author now.

If you get on my nerves,

I'll make them
end their contract with you.

[All employees of Yuan Publishing：]

[Mr Liang Chong Lang has been chosen
to receive the "Best Employee" award]

[and a cash bonus of 5000 yuan.]

Dear colleagues.

Mr Liang has bought coffee for everyone.

The sales for Book of Luo He God

have hit 349,000 copies!

This is the best result in
Yuan Yue Publishing House's

five year history.

The circulation department

is extremely grateful for the support
from our editorial colleagues.

Enjoy.

After waiting so long,
we only got a cup of coffee?

Mr Liang's sales figures this time

are just too strange, right?

349,000 copies.

With just another 1000 copies,
it would have been 350,000.

Deputy Editor Miao's spot

is about to be yours.

Chu Li, what a pity.

Who's speaking right now?

Isn't this

Sis Xian Yu who enjoys disappearing?

Editor Xian Yu,

do you think that my role
as a deputy editor

can be given to whoever you like?

That will depend on
the rules of our organisation.

I think that

you're not here to work,

but you're just here for a show, right?

My hip hurts!

Sisters, keep up the good work.

I'm going back to rest.

Goodbye, Sis Xian Yu.

Goodbye.

This is too unfair, right?

Not a single word is used to credit
us from the editorial department.

In future, our editorial department

is going to carry even less weight before
those of the circulation department.

I originally wanted to

use the prize money to change my glasses.

Now I can't change them.

Ah Xiang.

Are the wages from the firm

not even enough for you to change
your glasses?

What are you complaining about?

We're all from Yuan Yue Publishing House.

Those in the circulation department

spend all day looking at
advertising and sales.

Their job is not easy too.

You can't blame them for
receiving a prize.

We worked very hard too.

This is precisely my point.

We're lucky

if we find people like Zhou Chuan

who bring in their own readers.

As an editor,

we shouldn't be surprised

if a book like this sell well.

If it's unable to sell well,
that's a true achievement.

Once Mr Zhou Xuan publicised
the story online,

the shares by readers
were over 10,000 in an hour.

Let's not think about superstars.

But among authors,

this sort of influence is rare.

That's why I'm saying,

you as an editor

being able to sell so many books
in such a short time

has nothing to do with your ability.

It was just a matter of good luck.

People were praising the subscription
letter of the new editor as well-written,

but what do sales have
to do with the letter?

Maybe no one even read what she wrote.

People only know that
its Zhou Chuan's book.

So, they just blindly add

a few zeroes behind their orders.

Since you're sure that
Mr Zhou Xuan's sales

will be good,

why Deputy Editor Miao, you were unwilling

to increase the value of the contract?

Book of Luo He God sold so well.

Even a mere 200 copies

were related to the subscription letter
that I edited many times,

I was still the one who managed
to make his sign contact with us

even with our small amount
of guaranteed printing.

Chu Li.

Are you not satisfied
with my criticism?

Is your ego so inflated?

Do you speak to your superior like this?

What kind of attitude is this?

Living off peoples' glory,

is this your skill?

Standing on a house someone else built,

showing off shamelessly, is this skill?

If you have the skill,

you should build your own house!

Our editorial department

did not receive a commendation this time.

I'll say this to all of you.

"It is through work that we improve,
and all efforts will be repaid one day."

Okay, the quadrennial Huazhi Award

have begun judging again.

If the material submitted by

our editorial department can win a prize,

no one can take this honour away from us.

The Huazhi Award.

So, Mr Xia, which work from
our editorial department

do you intend to push forward?

From the first section,
there's The Edge from Mr Chu,

and Daybreak from Ms Zheng.

For the second department, there's
science fiction work from He Ma,

The Earth.

Mr He Ma

is a good author.

The chance of winning will be very high.

And, Book of Luo He God from Zhou Chuan.

Book of Luo He God.

Mr Xia,

Huazhi Award

is an award for serious
traditional literature.

Although Zhou Chuan's book

is a traditional legend,

it has quite a lot of
fantasy elements, right?

Maybe...

Times are changing.

Even the old heads judges

should know that it's time

to accept the modern trends.

And we should also

keep up with this trend.

Chu Li,

check on Mr Zhou Chuan's
opinion immediately.

Okay.

If Zhou Chuan has a conflict of emotion,

remember,

heroes struggle to deal with beauties.

Whether or not Chu Li is a beauty
is yet to be seen.

But, she will give it a try.

Don't worry, Mr Xia.

A matter like this where he can
receive honour

should not cause him any conflict.

Hello, what's up?

Mr Zhou Chuan,

from your voice,
I guess you're not in a good mood.

I'm hanging up if there's nothing.

There's something!

Mr Zhou Chuan,

Mr Xia brought up Huazhi Award today.

You should know about it, right?

You want to submit
Book of Luo He God for the award?

Impossible. I'm not going!

Hello?

Chu Li.

It's hot.

Ah Xiang, I finally know

why Mr Xia

wanted me to desperately
ask Mr Zhou Chuan

about Huazhi Award.

Ginger gets spicier the older it gets.

Mr Zhou Chuan was very steadfast
in his decision

to not submit his work to
participate in the Huazhi Award.

I can't understand.

Why someone would avoid honours so much?

You don't need to be so anxious.

I think that you should

have a good talk with Mr Zhou Chuan.

This matter doesn't only involve him,

but also Mr Xia.

Why?

Last time when Mr Xia

was in charge of Time Is Like A Song
from Old Mr Zhou,

he still wanted to improve it.

In the end, the book did
not win in Huazhi Award.

And so by mistake,

it was awarded to another book.

This kind of thing happened?

Has he never sent a book
for judging since then?

He did.

In the past years of Huazhi Award,

all the books handled by Mr Xia
were submitted.

But they were only given
honourable mentions.

He was snubbed again and again.

And people started to call him

the Murakami of the editorial world.

Being snubbed for 20 years?

No wonder Mr Xia is so vocal about

how he owes Yuan Yue Publishing House
a Huazhi Award.

If I were him, I would
be determined to get it too.

Yes.

This might be Mr Xia's last chance

before he retires.

[How can I convince Zhou Chuan?]

Don't leave.

I'm here to talk to you about work.

A lot of your old friends

will be attending
Xin Dun Creative Exchange.

I'm sorry.

I've already told your company.

I'm busy.

You have time.

You just don't want to go.

It's better for you to interact more

in the authors' circle.

There are many things that
you will not learn about

if you stay in this bookstore.

If in the future,

you wish to leave
Yuan Yue Publishing House,

and want to find a new editor,
and a new publishing house,

those information will be useful for you.

[Xin Dun Creative Exchange]

Who's there?

Mr Liang,

I need to thank you for
that previous matter.

About the number 349,000,

I understand your meaning.

Please don't mind that I criticise you.

You're already old.

You shouldn't speak so inappropriately

in front of a little girl.

You almost threw away your position.

I was too careless.

Who knew that Zhou Chuan's book

would be able to sell so well?

It's fine now.

Chu Li

is even more arrogant and domineering.

Why does she dare to act this way?

It's because you're the deputy editor.

Yu Yao is the chief editor.

She's supporting the little girl.

Would she respect you?

Miao,

have you ever thought of

a promotion?

There's nothing special about

the role of chief editor.

Look,

the wages don't increase much.

The workload and responsibilities

increase substantially instead.

Unlike now, I'm a deputy editor

and I'm still relatively relaxed.

You can continue to act.

You continue acting before me.

If you want to relax, it's easy.

If you relax, you will also
be taken advantage of.

Miao.

Thank you.

Think about it.

If you become the chief editor,

who at Yuan Yue Publishing House
will dare to take advantage of you?

Think of it in another way.

If you don't want
to work at Yuan Yue Publishing House

and want go to some other big company,

if you go with the role of chief editor,

you will at least be a director, right?

If you remain in your role
as a deputy editor,

you'll only be offered a manager position.

I'm sure you're clear of how

power is distributed among
those in charge here.

Of course.

This is your personal matter.

I won't force you.

I agree with you.

But,

Yu Yao was handpicked by Mr Xia.

Although she used to be busy

handling matters at home,

in terms of her work,

there aren't any major flaws.

So...

During the cultural exchange event,

wasn't there an author called Suo Heng?

She's a good friend of Yu Yao.

This Suo Heng.

I wanted to use this matter

to make her leave.

How was her sales?

If her sales were good,

how could I let her leave?

Didn't Director Yang say
during the meeting,

writers with poor sales

must be dealt with without consideration?

He repeated that their contracts
have to be nullified,

am I right?

What kind of person is Yu Yao?

She's someone who values loyalty, right?

This is something she's always stressed.

Will she protect this good friend of hers

whole-heartedly?

What do you think will happen to her?

She'll then

be against Director Yang.

I'm not sure if this counts

as a flaw in her work.

[Who's that? Didn't you see me?]

[I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Chen.]

[I did not do it on purpose.]

[It's you, Xiao Niao.]

-[I'll help you pick them up.]
-[It's fine.]

[Let me do it.]

[Do you want to go to get that checked
at the hospital?]

[It's nothing. I'm not that weak.]

[Let's go. I'll send you
to the editorial department.]

[Thank you, Brother Xiao Chen.
You're such a nice person.]

[This is just what I should do.]

[Xiao Niao just stood there]

[and barely moved.]

[And she found a free worker.]

[I've got it, Chu Li.
You try acting as a spoilt kid too.]

[What?]

[You act like a spoilt kid too!]

[Are you suggesting that]

[I should act like a spoilt kid
to Mr Zhou Chuan?]

Acting like a spoilt kid...
Could it be that it's useful?

My stomachache!

Mr Zhou Chuan, are you at home?

My stomachache!

Mr Zhou Chuan!

Mr Zhou Chuan, I can't stand it!

My stomach really hurts, Mr Zhou Chuan!

Mr Zhou Chuan, please save me!

My stomach really hurts!

Mr Zhou Chuan, I can't stand it!

Mr Zhou Chuan!

Where did he go?

Where did who go?

Mr Zhou! So, you were at home!

It's okay.
Please continue your performance.

Mr Zhou Chuan, I know that

you're a stream of clarity
in the literary world,

and the solitary wolf on the plains.

But it is really very hard

to get shortlisted in Huazhi Award!

Think about it. If you win,

then you'll earn something!

Even if you don't win anything,
you don't lose anything too.

From now onwards,

if you say another word

about this matter,

I will start charging you rent.

It starts from 1,000 yuan with no limit.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

participating in the Huazhi Award

is really beneficial for you.

Mr Xia is different

from me who treat authors

as weapons to obtain fame.

He really does mean well for you.

The words that you just said

inclusive of the punctuation marks

cost you the rent of 10,800 yuan

every month.

I can't even afford 1,800 yuan.

Where will I find
the money to pay 10,800 yuan?

Mr Zhou Chuan!

Won't you consider it even a little?
