Chapter 25 Everyone loves you and flowers bloom when you see them
"From now on, please call me Gu·Rich Man·Lu!" The royalties arrived, and after deducting income tax, there was 4352 yuan in the bank card.
The purchasing power of more than 2012 yuan in is equivalent to or yuan ten years later, right?
In his previous life, Gu Lu was a failed writer who could earn 6,000 to 7,000 yuan a day, but he had never been so excited!
Finally, he could guarantee his own living and no longer had to eat only one meal a day. Gu Lu wondered if he could make up for his height disadvantage by drinking more milk now.
"It should be fine. Although the peak period of growth is between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, boys have to grow until they are eighteen." Gu Lu is confident that he can improve his nutrition in high school and participate in sports activities, such as playing more basketball.
In front of the ATM, after hesitating for a long time, Gu Lu took out two hundred yuan.
Considering my young age, it would be easy to be robbed if I carried so much money with me.
It is not a lie that many students often have their breakfast money robbed near school.
I remember a similar experience, but the original person's pockets were cleaner than his face, and the bad senior students who stopped him on the road to "borrow money" got nothing.
In fact, two hundred is a bit much, but mobile payment is not popular nowadays, and U-Shield K Bao has too many limitations. In most cases, you still need cash to buy things.
"Help! Help me stop it!"
Zhang Yudong was running around the school, constantly calling for help, as if there was a tiger chasing him... Oh, to correct me, there are things scarier than tigers.
The aggressive Xie Fangqi was chasing after him. Her nickname was "Baboon" because of her thin arms and legs.
The nicknames we got in junior high school were always related to body shape and puns. For example, there was a nickname in our class called "Bo Mei". Girls who developed early would be laughed at. It is no exaggeration to say that if they were more introverted, they would even be isolated.
Baboon Xie Fangqi has a relatively boyish personality and often chases and plays with the boys in his class.
A few seconds later, the pursuers arrived. Gu Lu learned that Zhang was sitting at the table behind Xie. He used a pair of scissors to cut the hair off forever before the person in front of him could react...
It's his fault! Gu Lu didn't stop him at all.
For many boys, chasing and playing with girls is a very happy thing, which means that the relationship is good. If the relationship is not good, others will directly report it to the teacher.
Look at how many classmates are eager to try and want to replace Zhang Yudong... This is why boys in junior high and high school would deliberately do nasty things to provoke girls.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility of those who are clumsy and do not have the ability to control their own emotions, such as Zhang Yudong.
With money in my pocket, I am more eager to get out of school, but time goes slower and slower.
"After I finish copying this paper, I will say goodbye to the job of copying homework!" Gu Lu said firmly in his heart.
As mentioned before, the ghostwriting business was in a downturn and he hadn't received any business for the entire week. If the royalties hadn't arrived in time, he would have soon gone bankrupt.
Of course even if you have money, you still have to finish the job at hand. This is professional ethics!
"Are you still concentrating on studying? Oh, I almost forgot that you are going to participate in the essay competition." Wang Jianhua came over and said sarcastically.
Did the original owner have a grudge against him? Gu Lu thought carefully, and the only impression he had of this guy was that he was "shorter than me", short and fat.
Seeing Gu Lu stunned, Wang Jianhua said, "Maybe the great writer can really do it. He is so brave to lie to Teacher Li just to avoid doing his homework."
"Others at least dare to participate, do you dare?" Zhou Lin said, "How dare you, a lazy person who does nothing, laugh at those who are brave enough to change? Speaking of lying, if you have the guts, go and lie to Teacher Li?"
Facing Zhou Lin, who had good grades and good relationships with people, Wang Jianhua was stuck. He didn't dare to say anything back and pretended to squat down to tie his shoelaces, pretending not to hear what Zhou Lin said.
Standing up still looking smug, Wang Jianhua returned to his seat as if he had won a battle.
"Ignore him, he's just so annoying. When he sees someone with the same poor grades as him suddenly improve their grades, he will belittle them." Zhou Lin consoled him, "People who make themselves happy by belittling others are the worst."
"I understand. It's understandable that he mocks me." Gu Lu said.
What happened? Zhou Lin looked at Gu Lu. "That's how it's written in novels. If you become the protagonist, there will be some inexplicable people who want to step on you." Gu Lu explained, "You will attract hatred for no reason."
"...It's really tiring to be the protagonist. You have to compete with inexplicable people every day." Zhou Lin was speechless.
"What you said makes a lot of sense. I am speechless." Gu Lu gave Zhou Lin a thumbs up.
"If the protagonist is so annoying, then I'll be a supporting role. I want everyone I know to like me." Zhou Lin's speech revealed the unique temperament of a student, clear stupidity.
Anyone who has experienced the beatings of society would not say this. But looking at Zhou Lin's serious face, Gu Lu swallowed the poisonous chicken soup back into his stomach.
In the following class time, tired of copying, Gu Lu read the book given by Teacher Li for a while and was not affected by Wang Jianhua at all.
Regarding Gibran's poetry, Gu Lu is actually somewhat unable to appreciate it. It can even be said that he is not very able to appreciate the entire system of modern poetry.
From the current perspective, this golden finger triggers collections of short stories. Gu Lu wanted to avoid poetry collections, as he would not have the confidence to copy things that he himself could not appreciate.
"Come on, come on, I'll treat you to hot and sour noodles today!" Gu Lu said to Fan Xiaotian after school at noon.
"!" Fan Xiaotian was surprised that a bowl of hot and sour noodles cost three yuan.
Fan Xiaotian asked, "Did Brother Gu find the money?"
"What? I picked up some money. I made a little money." Gu Lu said.
"Make money?" Fan Xiaotian's eyes seemed to be saying, can I make this money?
"We'll know soon. After dinner, we'll go play PS3. Mr. Gu will pay for all lunch expenses." Gu Lu said.
Eating hot and sour noodles and playing PS, is there anything happier in the world than this for Fan Xiaotian?
If there is, it’s right now, and it doesn’t cost any money!
"Okay, I've learned the Crimson Knightmon technique and I can definitely beat the shit out of you." Fan Xiaotian challenged arrogantly.
Eat a bowl of hot and sour noodles from a stall next to the school. Really, I can eat whatever I want if I have money. It's so comfortable! Gu Lu wants a large portion, which costs 4 yuan.
Gu Lu decided to go home and get half a pound of shrimps tonight. He loved eating boiled shrimps before he traveled through time.
After the meal, the two came to the fat boss's shop. When they saw Gu Lu, the fat boss greeted him naturally.
He said, "Remember to restart your computer. I kept it on all night watching TV series yesterday."
"We are here to fight Digimon today." said Gu Lu.
That's rare! The fat boss happily put the game disc on for the two of them, and the next hour was exciting game time.
He loses more than he wins, and in 90% of the games between the two, Fan Xiaotian wins.
This story once again shows us that gaming talent has nothing to do with age. In any case, Gu Lu, who thought he could beat Xiaotian at will, was beaten up instead.
"Don't stop, let's add half an hour, I'll give you the money, and then we'll run back to school. We'll definitely be in time." It had been a long time since Fan Xiaotian had won so comfortably, so he definitely hadn't had enough fun.
"If you want to play, wait until next time. There's no need to rush and run back." Gu Lu ruthlessly refused. Nonsense, you've lost so many times, and you still refuse! This guy doesn't care about human relationships at all.
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaotian muttered, "Let's talk about it next time."
Next time? I'll definitely decide next time.
"Boss, here you go."
In addition to giving the fat boss 2.5 yuan for the game, Gu Lu also gave him a copy of "Story Club", the red edition for the first half of May.
