[Once and Forever]

[Episode 15]

Don't worry.

Who am I?

Look.

It's all written on it.

A student of great ability from Beiqing University.

How can I not find a job?

If they don't want me,

I'll find another job.

Thank you, Qiaoqiao.

Don't mention it.

Currently,

employment of fresh graduates, class of 2005,

is drawing to a close.

The total number of graduates

is about 3.8 million.

The estimated employment rate

is 72.6%.

You're full?

I'll go check out

Chinese Talents.

Many of our classmates

have uploaded their resumes there.

Zirun.

You should go to Zhang.

He is at

the state-run press.

Qiaoqiao's major is matched.

It's good for a girl

to be an editor.

At least it's a stable job.

It's not that our kid is not good.

Just who would expect

that thing to happen during her internship?

Look at Qin's two kids.

They are so bold.

Let alone Qiaoqiao.

Don't you know your granddaughter?

She's a kind girl.

Yes.

I'll call

Zhang later.

Let me tell you.

Treat him to a nice meal.

Bring him some good wine, expensive cigarettes,

and tea.

Don't skimp on it.

[In the past, we shared the same classroom. Now Let's travel together to the future]

Hurry up. Are you all packed up?

Enough. I can't take it.

Right away.

I passed.

Let me take another look.

[Dream]

No.

Master, come on.

Take some photos for us. Come on.

Take some photos.

Over there.

Okay.

Well, I told you

that your dorm's feng shui was bad.

Whether single

or not,

none of you have received any flowers.

Just do it.

Why bring feng shui up?

Right. Hurry up.

No. Without flowers,

it's just the three of you.

There's no atmosphere at all.

I'll borrow a bunch from someone.

Don't go. It's so embarrassing. Don't go.

Just take the photos. Hurry.

Well, Qianxi.

Xiaochuan asked me to give you this.

He asked me to tell you...

I forgot what he said.

Ask him on QQ later.

How could you forget?

This is from Wang Ying.

She said

that even if you

graduated 100 times in your life,

no one would send you flowers one time.

So unnecessary.

Who cares about flowers?

This is...

Yang Cheng asked you

to give this to Qiaoqiao.

Would Yang ask me to do something for him?

That's true.

This is a gift from me.

Isn't it embarrassing

that everyone else has but you?

None of your business.

Aside.

Aside. I'll take a photo of her.

What kind of flowers are these?

Balloon flowers.

What does the flower mean?

I don't know.

Go take photos.

-Yes. -Hurry up.

Let me take a photo of you three.

Come on.

You all have flowers now.

Come on.

Three, two, one.

Happy graduation!

Cheese.

♫I haven’t seen your smile for a long time♫

♫Why are you suppressing your wild thoughts♫

Well.

Can't you two stand closer?

Come on. Three, two, one.

♫We often fall down♫

♫Bleeding♫

What does graduation mean?

♫Reckless but persistent♫

You wouldn't understand it on the day of your graduation.

It'll take years.

♫Young man♫

After you lost it completely.

♫The fire in your heart♫

After you know very well

♫Let it burn♫

that you can never go back to the past.

♫The sun is burning inside♫

After many beautiful treasures

become memories,

and there is nowhere to place them.

♫Climbing up♫

Only then will you realize that,

♫The ideal slope♫

in fact, you

have already said goodbye to them.

♫We♫

Everyone,

our postgraduate program

♫Are never backing down♫

will go deeper into ancient Chinese.

♫The luster of dreams♫

In the stage of the undergraduate, we taught you to know something.

♫The stars that twinkle in the night♫

Now we'll show you the whys.

For example, this sentence.

What's so good about that one?

♫Through the darkness♫

The bus fare is only 200 yuan.

Just say something.

♫They always light me up♫

[Xue Haihai album, Star and Sea, release]

Who are you?

Fashion Entertainment.

Fashion Entertainment.

Ma'am.

[Jianbing Guru]

What?

We have

a sign here.

No parking in front of the door.

[No parking in front of our store. Thank you for your cooperation]

Didn't he park here too?

Why didn't you say something to him?

Him?

He's our boss.

Oh my god.

To prevent Qianxi

from putting nonsense

in my luggage again.

I went to Dahua Supermarket

and bought you some food.

Thank you.

How much? I'll pay you back.

Forget the money.

Show me around

and take me to Imperial College's canteen for a meal.

Sure, no problem.

[Editorial Office]

After graduation,

before we knew it,

we all became busy.

And I

became Xie

from Vivian.

And I became a little

idle.

Let’s start

the eighth set of radio gymnastics.

[Jingxi Art Publishing House]

March on the spot.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, stop.

Stretch. Ready, go.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Two, two, three...

Xie.

You're still young.

Why are you stooping?

Straighten up your back.

Raise your hands higher.

Yes, that's it.

Good. That's right.

That shows your spirit.

Four, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

Xie.

Come, take a look.

The photo of the Publisher.

I took this photo

at a meeting

in Zhongshan Park.

How is it?

Pretty good.

It's so right

to put it

in the showcase.

Yes.

I've thought about the name.

It's called

"Publisher in front of the Chrysanthemum."

What do you think?

Good.

How is it?

Look.

Not bad.

Director Zhu.

I'll pick your Colorful Roses.

Don't. Left me some.

So stingy.

I'll steal Xie's.

Go ahead.

Boss.

You

doesn't look like a pancake maker.

Of course. I need to practice.

Qin Chuan.

In case you hopped to others.

Here.

Abnormal Psychology.

[Abnormal Psychology]

I proofread these.

Don't you need books about psychology?

So I brought some samples

for you.

Well.

I don't think

my sister has come to this point yet.

How has she been recently?

She doesn't want to die now,

but I can't see

how much she wants to live.

Still doesn't want to do anything?

Do you remember

that she used to love those glittering things?

Now that Yihui is gone,

she has put them all away.

She's always in black.

There is no second color

on her.

Hello, I would like a mocha, please.

Okay, please wait a moment.

You even sell mocha now?

Yes.

If we don't

sell some high-end stuff

we can't keep up

with the development of the CBD,

right?

Of course.

Qiaoqiao.

How about I get you some cans?

You can drink them at your office.

No one in our office drinks coffee.

They all drink health-enhancing herbal tea.

Look at you.

You're not happy working there?

Not really.

It's just that there's nothing

I really want to do in there.

The books I edit every day

are not my type.

It feels like

putting new gear

into an old clock.

I can only rotate with them slowly.

Maybe I'll get used to it after a couple of days.

Thank you, Mrs.

Okay.

Hello, Senior.

Are you at school?

I'm here in Beijing for business.

I'll treat you to dinner tonight.

Qianxi, let's go.

Senior.

We are waiting for you.

Who are they?

Chen Tianhe.

Who is Chen Tianhe?

You don't even know Chen Tianhe?

You should know Tianhe Entertainment, right?

They have promoted a lot of big stars.

They even sponsored Happy Girl.

Hurry up.

I've heard of this before.

Chen Tianhe

is the boss of Tianhe Entertainment.

He asked me about you.

I thought it was a good thing,

so I called you here.

Why did he ask about me?

I don't know him.

Senior, forget it.

You're all here.

Let's get together another day. My treat.

What are you thinking?

He's a big shot in the entertainment industry.

Many people waiting in line want to know him.

And I have a feeling that

he wants to sign you up.

It's a good thing.

Go!

Qianxi.

I'm curious.

Why did you drop out of Happy Girl?

Nothing.

The semester was about to start.

I want to focus.

The top students from Beiqing

are different.

But

you were already there.

Haven't you thought about going further?

Yeah.

If you didn’t quit,

I think the most popular one...

I never wanted to be in show business

in the first place.

Why?

For my master's degree.

Then why did you go to graduate school?

To find a good job.

Why do you need a good job?

Making money.

What is the purpose of making money?

To live a good life

with the one you love.

Qianxi.

It's good to want to make money.

I thought you were going to

spend your life fighting for a great cause.

Come work for me.

I'll help you make money.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

Qianxi, thank Mr. Chen.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

You want to close the deal

by drinking juice?

I didn't want to.

I just want to thank you for your appreciation.

Sit down.

Sit down first.

I don't need you to thank me.

And I don't want you

to reject me so soon.

Back to where we were.

Think about it.

How long will it take,

and how much money do you need

to achieve your dream?

Let me do the calculation for you.

If you wish to stay in Beijing

and live a good life,

you'll need an apartment

with two bedrooms and a living room.

You also need to buy a car

and have some savings.

We can't just sit and do nothing.

To put it less,

you will need three million yuan.

Do you think you can earn three million yuan

in five years?

If...

If I work hard, I...

You should know.

Working hard is a requirement

to accumulate wealth,

but it's not sufficient.

Listen.

As long as you listen to me,

in three years,

I can make you earn this amount of money

or even more.

And faster.

Here.

Orange juice.

[Jingxi Art Publishing House]

Ms. Zhang.

Would you like some hot water?

Sure, half a cup will do.

Don't pour too much.

It

only needs two or three hundred milliliters.

It won't work if there's too much water.

How about this?

Sure.

I've eaten too much

these days.

Hello?

Hello, Qiaoqiao.

Have you talked to Qianxi recently?

I had a meal with her

at school last time.

What's wrong?

Is she still a postgraduate student?

What else would she do?

Why do you care about her

all of a sudden?

Out of nowhere.

I just heard that

Qianxi would sign up with Tianhe Entertainment

to be a singer.

Qianxi.

Are you still going to school?

Of course.

It's not easy to pass the postgraduate entrance examination.

Of course, I have to graduate.

I don't want to be a singer forever.

If you don't want to be a singer,

why did you sign a contract

with Tianhe Entertainment?

When I took part in Happy Girl,

didn't you want me to be famous

and write articles for me?

Why are you suddenly

against it?

That was because I hadn't seen it myself before,

and I didn't know

how difficult and complicated this business is.

Qianxi.

Let me tell you seriously.

Do you know what business

you're about to enter?

I know.

But since I'm on my way,

I can't be afraid

of walking at night.

What if you regret it?

I might be wrong,

but I won't regret it.

You...

Qianxi.

After what happened last time,

I also think

you are not suitable for the entertainment industry.

How about you think about it more?

Qiaoqiao,

I don't have time to think about it.

Me and Xiaozhou haven't seen

each other for over a year.

It's so realistic. We don't have money.

He can't come back, and I can't go to him either.

Everyone graduates, and they start at zero.

But we're starting below zero.

Xiaozhou has to pay the debt.

My family can't help me much.

We are together

not just for

studying in the library

but also to live.

Live a good life.

It's not that important

if it's right for me or not.

It's okay.

What's with those looks on your faces?

It's not that I'm selling myself.

I know what to do.

I hope my bright future

with Xiaozhou

can arrive earlier.

Even if it's one day earlier.

Does Brother Xiaochuan know it?

What did he say?

Of course, I support Qianxi.

You should

support yourself first.

What kind of place is this?

The water pipe broke,

and your house is flooded.

It's cheap here.

The pipe is always like this.

It's just a bit old.

Stay there. Don't come over.

Or your feet will get wet.

Look at you now.

I kind of understand why Qianxi

would choose that path.

It's not easy for you.

But aren't you worried about her?

Yes.

That's why I work hard

to try to publish the results first.

That's why I live here.

So that I can

get back to her sooner.

You two are quite alike.

You both are so cruel to yourselves.

What else can we do?

You're not coming back during your Spring vacation?

Yes, me and my friends

are going to Snowdonia Mountain.

I would come back to China and stay for a while later.

Is there anything

you want me to bring for you?

Not really.

But can you help me

bring something to Xiaochuan

when you go back again?

He and Wang Ying are not far away.

But Wang Ying has mysophobia.

She won't let others put anything in her case.

Sure.

But the things

you want to give him,

actually, are also available in the UK.

Doesn't that cost him money?

By the way,

the airfare to the UK

costs more than 10,000 yuan, right?

Almost.

What? You want to come?

It's not me.

I think it's no wonder Xiaochuan never came back

when he went to the UK.

In the past,

I didn't have such deep feelings.

But now that I think about it,

the situations between people

are really different.

Why do you think so much?

If you want to come,

I'll book a ticket for you anytime.

No need.

I have to go to work.

Besides,

you have to go back home anyway.

Bye.

Go to Snowdonia Mountain with friends.

That sounds natural.

Aren't we friends?

Yes.

We're good friends.

You know I hate

accidents, right?

Like a sudden drop by

like you're doing now.

I'm not your girlfriend.

I didn't need to make a sudden drop-by.

Besides,

I'm here for work this time.

To take some photos

for my friend's magazine.

You have so many friends.

But you're the only one

who will reimburse my flight ticket.

If...

Xie Qiao said she was coming to England,

I should hide, right?

You also have to hide

if Wang Ying comes.

If Wang Ying comes, upstairs will do.

If Xie Qiao comes,

where should I go?

Ren Siyu, don't you think

you've crossed the line?

Okay.

I know.

I'm not like

your little girlfriend,

who saves money for you like a sensible wife.

I just need to

be happy.

[Jianbing Guru]

Qiaoqiao.

This is too long.

I'm not a gluttonous snake.

I'm obviously

a gluttonous python.

Enough.

Stop playing. Get down to business.

Look, I'm dead.

Hurry up.

It's so long.

Well,

Well, Yang has been so quiet recently.

You miss him?

You really don't want to talk, do you?

Yang Cheng was supposed to come back during the Spring vacation,

but suddenly he will go to the Snowdonia Mountain

with his friends,

so he won't come back.

Yang is so

confident about you.

Isn't he afraid

that someone will woo you away?

Those men in our press

are either uncles

or grandpas.

Who would chase me?

You're right.

Aren't you so afraid

that Wang Ying will meet a handsome guy abroad

and dump you?

What?

Stop making jokes

with me.

Abroad?

It's not like I've been abroad before.

It's nothing.

I'm telling you.

Only Tom Cruise,

Leonardo DiCaprio,

and Johnny Depp.

Only the three of them.

Who else is more handsome than me?

It's a pity that

you didn't stay in Hollywood.

Of course.

So now,

you have to think it through.

Understand?

You need to know

which international superstars

you are supporting.

Cut the crap.

Hurry up. Send it.

All work and we need to play too.

Are you done?

Change your accounts.

Then leave a comment

after a while.

Bump the poster

and don't let it sink.

No. Come here.

Take a look at this.

What?

A novel. It's really good.

The people writing novels in Tianya

are all literary giants.

How good can a novel

from entertainment gossipers be?

No, it's really good.

Sit here.

Look.

Every girl

has a swordsman in her heart.

Every Chinese girl

wanted to marry a swordsman.

The swordsman in their hearts

is not born with a silver spoon.

He is young, charming,

and handsome, with sparkling eyes and thick brows.

They would regard money as garbage

and not seek fame and fortune.

They would roar when they faced injustice.

Everyone admires him.

When you are sad or in trouble,

you can have a solid shoulder

to lean on.

Pull it down.

You haven't finished?

No, it's over.

Impossible.

Look.

What's going on?

Wait.

It's too painful

with only half of it.

Hurry up and leave a comment

for the author.

Ask him to update.

Brother San Gou.

Somersaulting in the snow.

Please update it.

Gosh.

This is so painful.

Qiaoqiao.

Didn't you say

that you couldn't think of any books you wanted to publish?

How about this?

We don't publish this kind of novel.

Then what novel?

That

Abnormal Psychology,

or Hemudu Culture?

We publish

serious writers' books.

Why is San Gou

not serious?

But he posted it online.

Only writing on paper

is a novel

and writing online is not?

Besides, think about it.

Why do people want

to buy books?

Isn't it just for entertainment?

You've been sitting here

for hours.

Why?

Isn't it because it's good?

It's rare that you find

a novel you like.

I think you should try it.

What are you afraid of?

[Tianhe Entertainment]

What do you think?

She is strong-opinioned.

But she works hard.

Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself will get you unscathed through a hundred battles.

Who's in charge of

whether the books you pick will pass?

[Closed]

Our Editor-in-Chief,

[Editor-in-Chief; Director Hu; Director Zhu; Ms. Zhang]

Director Hu from the publishing office.

In our office, it's

Director Zhu and Ms. Zhang.

Okay.

Let's break them down one by one.

Who's the easiest?

Publisher in front of the Chrysanthemum.

Director Zhu.

Are these your new photos?

Let me see.

Your photos are

better than

Gu Xiaoxian's.

I only do this for fun.

It's the same.

If our Publisher sees it,

he will love it.

Really?

I'll show him.

Wait.

Please sign the book selection form

for me first.

Old Stories of Northeast China.

That's a good name. I like it.

Then you must vote for me

at the book selection conference.

Don't worry. I'll support you.

Okay.

Okay.

[Director Hu; Director Zhu; Ms. Zhang]

Done.

Next, Ms. Zhang.

Qiaoqiao.

What does she like

and dislike?

Ms. Zhang is old-school.

Never fails to mention the Greats of Western Literature in her words.

She likes the uptight

historical perspective and sense of the times.

She can't use a computer now.

Even use one finger to type.

Except for stealing vegetables in the game,

she hates everything online,

especially online novels.

But isn't this

an online novel?

Then don't

even tell her that

it's an online novel.

Just tell her...

This is

a chronicle of the Northeast

after reform and opening up.

Why post it online since it's so good?

He didn't post it online.

He wrote it on lined paper,

which was read by someone accidentally.

That's why it was posted online.

As far as I know,

this author, San Gou,

doesn't

use computers at all.

He likes to

stay at home

and read literature

like Ulysses,

Der Steppenwolf,

and Das Schloss.

He is very familiar with them all.

That's why he can write

such a popular work.

I knew it.

Any author like him

who really has such a big vision

doesn't even surf the Internet.

Right.

[Ms. Zhang]

Another one.

Director Hu.

Director Hu.

He doesn't seem to like

traditional books.

But he is not so interested

in the trendy one.

He's hard to figure out.

Publishing.

He is actually a sales manager.

Just like Long's position.

He doesn't care

what kind of history is behind the pancake

as long as he knows

the pancakes are delicious and popular,

he'll be happy.

Good.

So let's talk

more about sales with him.

The click rate for the Old Stories of Northeast China

in Tianya within a month

has been over 100 million.

Except for people like me

who pay attention to updates every day,

the regular readers are at least 1 million.

Among those who have the purchasing power,

let's say just one-tenth.

That will be 100,000.

And reduce some coincidental factors.

Such as stingy people,

those who read others' books,

or people who suddenly don't want to buy one.

Let's say 80,000.

20 yuan per book.

The total sales amount

would be 1.6 million yuan.

Yes.

Don't forget.

I only said 10,000 copies.

That's a guarantee for you.

Next.

[Editor-in-Chief]

Chief Editor.

You've never met him before.

I really have no clue.

I've decided to use my trump card.

To conquer or to die.

[Inter-provincial Shuttle Bus] [Mudanjiang River] [Beijing]

Inviting the author here

is your trump card?

Our Editor-in-Chief likes

communicating with authors.

He always attends

writer's seminars.

Invite Brother San Gou here

and let them talk face-to-face.

After a few times,

we can nail the book selection.

You haven't even met him once,

but you are so confident in him.

His novel is so good.

He won't be bad either.

The writing style mirrors the writer.

Hello.

Brother San Gou, it's me. I'm Xie Qiao.

I'm right beside your bus.

I j-j-just got off.

Are you on the bus from Mudanjiang River?

Yes, w-w-where are you?

Where are you now?

I'm just n-n-n-near the car.

I'm sorry.

I can't hear you clearly.

The signal is bad.

There are t-t-three flagpoles w-w-w-without flags

beside me.

I think I saw you.

Are you

wearing a striped shirt

and carrying a urea bag?

Y-y-yes.

Where are you?

I'm at the door

of your bus.

A-A-Are you

Editor Xie?

He-Hello, I-I-am San- San Gou.

[Jingxi Art Publishing House]

Dear l-l-leaders,

ladies a-and gentlemen,

nice to meet you.

It's a-an honor f-for me

[Jingxi Art Publishing House]

to c-come to o-our great capital,

Beijing,

to a-a-attend your book selection conference.

Where are you from?

I'm f-from Heilongjiang Province...

Brother San Gou is from the Mudanjiang River.

I-I-I b-b-brought you

some l-l-ocal specialties from the Northeast.

Please a-accept it.

H-h-elp me h-h-hand it to them.

Every-everyone will have some. It should be enough.

T-T-these are soy-soy beans

f-f-from our b-b-black earth.

T-t-they are so delicious.

This...

All right.

It's very d-d-delicious.

Mr. San Gou, that's enough.

Sit down.

E-e-everyone w-w-will...

Please have a seat.

Sure.

And...

Thank you, San Gou.

Xie

mentioned on her book selection form that

in your work,

you have a detailed description

of the landscape of Northeast China.

It seems that

these local specialties

make a contribution to it.

Yes, they h-h-helped a lot.

And t-t-to

go deeper into our lives,

I also l-learned the song-and-dance duet.

You know it?

I-I-I can

d-d-do a little.

Boss.

Look at San Gou.

He doesn't look like a writer at all.

I think

it's better not to let him go.

He came all the way here.

Although he stammers,

you can't

just let him come for nothing.

I wonder

how they are doing.

Tears filled my eyes.

Thinking of Wang Yongxiang,

[2006 Book Selection Conference of Jingxi Art Publishing House]

my husband.

He passed away for a year

and left me alone.

All right.

San Gou,

you're really talented.

Let me ask you.

Have you had

any prior writing experience?

No.

T-t-this is m-my f-first novel.

Why did you choose

such a theme?

What made you

start writing?

Here's the thing.

I've always wanted to write about my hometown.

I want to record

the social changes in Northeast China over the past 20 years.

I don't expect

that I can touch humanity.

I just want to write about such a group of people.

The reform and opening up

is a major goal.

Everyone here

and the little characters in my novel

are all in it.

It's our effort

to turn this era

into what it is now.

At the same time,

this era also affects...

He doesn't stutter anymore.

The fate of each of us.

This is not just an expression

but also a reflection.

Reflect on

what we have gained

and lost.

Well said!

He did that?

Not just me.

Even our chief editor was shocked.

Even Ms. Zhang,

such a fussy woman,

listened with great interest.

I want to ask you a question.

Don't get mad.

Why did you suddenly

speak so smoothly?

This is not

a s-s-secret.

It's just that I prepared a manuscript in advance.

I had been memorizing it

all night on the bus.

How c-could I m-make a mistake?

See, Qiaoqiao?

This is n-not an ordinary person.

Here.

Qiaoqiao,

when will the result come out?

In a couple of days.

Normally, to decide on a major book,

the Editor-in-chief has to ask the Publisher

to sign it.

But I think

our book will be fine.

T-t-thank you.

Here.

Thank you, Editor Xie. Thank you.

Thank you.

Football Girl.

Yes.

A program co-produced by Yuanshi TV and CCTV 5.

Lu Yu told me

that your dance and physical strength

are not good enough.

Hurry up and practice.

Football Girl must need the guests

to sing and dance all the way.

What exactly

does the football girl do?

Haven't you seen the World Cup before?

No.

Whatever.

The football girl

is a mascot

to stimulate male hormones.

Who wants to listen to a girl

talking about football?

Participating in this kind of show

is like joining a selection.

You would participate in offline activities,

take some publicity photos,

and interact with the guests

and the audience.

Don't worry.

Mr. Chen has arranged everything for you.

You will definitely make it to the top four.

But shouldn’t I

be a singer and launch singles?

Not bad. You know to be anxious.

Since I chose this path,

the sooner I get on the right track,

the better.

It's not as simple as you think.

To release a single,

you must find the right time.

I don't do anything half-good.

I have to hit it in one shot.

Before that,

it's time for you to accumulate.

I see. Thank you, Mr. Chen.

Uncle,

you should rent an apartment in a building.

This house is very damp.

It's bad for your health.

I'm used to living in a bungalow.

Besides, the rent on buildings

is rising every year.

You don't have to be reluctant to spend money.

I take part in a show this time.

The appearance fee is 1,000 yuan per episode.

I'll rent one for you.

By the way,

when I went to the supermarket,

there was a promotion stall.

They said that young girls like you

all use this.

Physical, and block the sun.

I bought you one.

Thank you, Uncle.

You're welcome.

Have some water.

I'll wash these dishes first.

Director Zhu.

How is this?

Xie.

We all like

the book you chose.

San Gou

is an excellent

young author.

After the book selection meeting,

we all passed

the book, Old Stories of Northeast China.

Yes!

But

when we told our superiors,

the Publisher suggested we put it off for now.

You know it.

The internet property of this novel

is quite strong.

Clearly, it belongs to the second channel.

We focus on the main channel.

It's not appropriate for us

to publish it.

After all, the online market

is still developing.

Let's wait and see

before we do it.

Director Zhu,

is it the main channel and the second channel

that matter?

Aren't there many good books

published on the second channel?

True.

But our press

should open up slowly.

It takes time.

But...

No buts.

It's not only about a book.

This is about the pace of our whole press.

Okay.

[Ticket Check]

This is f-fine.

You can go back.

Brother San Gou,

I'm so sorry

for making you come all the way here.

But it ends up like this.

I-it's okay.

This is the first time

I've been contacted by a p-publisher.

I think my book

should be good.

Your book is very good, San Gou.

To be honest,

your novel

is the best novel

I've read in recent years.

In my heart,

besides Mr. Jin Yong,

it's you.

Yes, San Gou.

You must keep writing.

We're all your superfans.

Even our Editor-in-Chief

is waiting for you to update.

Don't worry.

If my n-n-novel ever gets p-published,

I'll s-s-send you one copy first.

Okay, t-t-thank...

Enough, brother. Stop.

Go in now,

or you won't be able to catch the bus.

Her surname is Xie.

If you thank her again,

you won't be able to stop thanking her by nightfall.

Okay, s-s-see you.

Bye.

Bye.

San Gou, I'm waiting for your book.
