Chapter 102 No One Will Come After
Chapter 102 No One Will Come After
Gu Lu was studying the game at home, while the staff of No. 8 Middle School were studying publicity matters in the office.
"Is it really okay?" Principal Chang asked the instructor Wu Du, "Are you confident?"
"I don't have the script with me, but Principal Liu...let me put it this way, as long as Principal Chang reads the story written by Gu Lu, he will agree." Wu Du said.
Seeing that the principal was still thinking, he added, "Principal Chang really has a keen eye. He recruited Gu Lu from No. 3 Middle School and Bashu Middle School to join the school. If he continues to work hard in this field, he will definitely become a nationally famous writer."
This sounds more comfortable. In fact, Principal Chang doesn't think too much of Gu Lu, but he has always been adhering to the concept that as long as the rival school wants it, he must get it.
Flexible school treatment, free school meals, a 400 yuan accommodation subsidy per semester, a 3,000 yuan special skill bonus, and free tuition. These conditions given to Gu Lu are certainly the best. The entire No. 8 Middle School campus is only slightly inferior to Zhou Lin's huge bonus.
"I have submitted a recommendation for Gu Lu to join the Wudu Writers Association." Wu Du said, "The chances of success are very high."
If it succeeds, then joining the Fog City Writers Association at the age of 16 will definitely be a record, and it will be of great help to boost the reputation of the school.
"I will invite you to Fog City TV during the school anniversary. As for the rest, I'll leave it to you, Teacher Wu." Principal Chang was convinced.
Originally, this year was the same as last year, and only reporters from Fog City Daily were invited. Principal Chang was a very powerful principal of Fog City Key High School, but media and education are two different fields after all, and even he had to make some connections.
"Principal Chang, please rest assured that the performance of the Shu Ren Literature Society at this year's school anniversary will be unprecedented." Wu Du originally wanted to say that there would be no one like it again, but he felt that it was not a good omen, so he swallowed the thought back.
After the two finished talking, they smiled at each other. Principal Chang did it for fame, and Wu Du did it for fame as well.
He wanted to be a mentor and introduce his student Gu Lu into the writer circle. If Gu Lu could become famous in the future, this would become a good story, and his own status would naturally rise.
On the other side, Gu Lu cleaned up the dishes from lunch and started typing at home.
He finished writing "Listening to the Moon Song in the White Room" and "Iron Pillar" and sent them to Xiao Xue, the editor-in-chief of "The Horror Tribe". Only after finishing these things did he close his computer and go out.
"Did I like to invite my classmates to my home when I was in school? I don't think so." Gu Lu fell into thought while waiting for the bus.
Anyway, after he became an adult, he would never invite friends to his house. Even if he needed to have a meal together, he would do it outside.
Ever since the autograph incident on Thursday, Li Guyuan has been very enthusiastic towards Gu Lu, even more than Flathead Brother (Lü Ping), and even invited him to his home before school on Friday.
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Gu Lu had no choice but to agree.
More than 30 minutes later, Gu Lu got off the car and came to the address Li Guyuan mentioned. He took out his cell phone and called, "Tangyuan, I'm here, in front of the Baile Grocery Store."
Before I hung up the phone, I saw Li Guyuan coming out of the store and waving. The voice on the phone and the real voice overlapped, "Gulu! It's right here."
As he spoke, Li Guyuan ran towards Gu Lu with a smile on his face.
"My mother will prepare something delicious tonight, and we'll wait here for a while." Li Guyuan led Gu Lu into the store very naturally.
Is this the grocery store owned by Li Guyuan? It's quite big, selling snacks, firewood, rice, oil, salt, brooms, washbasins, etc. It's worthy of the name of a grocery store.
Li Guyuan was running the shop. There was a bulky computer on the cash register. On one side was the footage from the surveillance cameras in the grocery store, and on the other side he was watching the TV series "The Great Kang Chronicles".
"If you want some snacks, feel free to take them. Would you like a drink?" Li Guyuan greeted enthusiastically.
"No, no, I ate a lot at noon." Gu Lu said, "I feel bloated and I really can't eat any more."
"Then give me a bottle of water." Li Guyuan handed Gu Lu a bottle of Coke, but worried that he would not accept it, he just twisted the bottle open. After doing these things, a customer came to pay the bill, and he skillfully started to check out the cashier.
Gu Lu suddenly understood something, "Tangyuan, you asked me to come and play, aren't you asking me to keep the store with you?"
There were no parents in the store, probably they were busy with other things. "Ahem, how could that be." Li Guyuan was exposed and felt a little embarrassed, but he immediately changed the subject, "Have you seen this TV series? It's really good."
The TV drama was showing the emperor of Dakang saying to his beloved concubine, "Look, this is the kingdom I built for you."
"Look, Gulu, this is the territory I conquered for you. When I inherit the throne, you will have half of it." Li Guyuan joked in the same way.
"I didn't see it..." Gu Lu hadn't finished speaking.
"drop--"
A familiar triggering sound rang in his mind, and Gu Lu breathed a sigh of relief. His high school classmate could do it too!
The weight that had been weighing on my heart since I graduated from junior high school was finally removed. Since entering high school, no high school student had successfully triggered the synthesis list, and Gu Lu was beginning to doubt his life.
Even the short story by Zhu Chuan-Mouto that had been successfully synthesized before and the short story by Liu Cixin that had not yet been synthesized were triggered by Teacher Gao.
"Wait, come to think of it, Teacher Gao is also an experienced person." Gu Lu suddenly realized.
"Every time I come back from vacation, I have to help look after the store. It's really boring." Li Guyuan thought that his confidant was angry, and quickly added, "Really, you can eat as many snacks as you want inside, and I will pay for your entire consumption."
From the moment Gu Lu recognized his work, Li Guyuan unilaterally regarded Gu Lu as his close friend.
"It's okay. I'm just sitting around doing nothing at home anyway, so I can stay with you in the store."
Next, Gu Lu chatted with Li Guyuan from time to time. He found that the latter had read many books and had a strong literary accumulation among people of the same age.
At the same time, I was thinking about the three tags that were triggered just now——
[Amazon's best-selling book in 2017] [Central Publication Award for Literature] [Atypical representative work]
"My dialogue synthesis list is still occupied, so the only thing that could be triggered this time is the item list. So what item did I just get?" Gu Lu thought.
A bottle of Coke, triggered by the Coke? That doesn't make sense, after all, Gu Lu himself has bought it many times, if it could be triggered, it should have been triggered long ago.
"It's a bit confusing. There are two possibilities now. The first one is that it is indeed Coke, but when I had it before, I lacked some prerequisites, so it's useless."
"Another possibility is that I gained something else."
It is impossible to judge for the time being. After all, Gu Lu has not fully understood the golden finger so far.
So, through these three labels, can we determine what kind of work it is?
But anyway, they are all classic works from the previous life. Even if some of them are not suitable, they are indeed good works. Gu Lu wants to replicate the success of the last "Zhuchuan Moto's Best Selections".
But these three labels... I have no clue at all.
"What do you like to eat? I'll ask my dad to make it for you in the evening. My dad is a chef." Li Guyuan said.
"I'm not picky about food, but my stomach isn't very good, so I can't eat anything too spicy." Gu Lu responded.
"Stomach problems?" Li Guyuan remembered it and decided to call his parents later.
What follows is the two young men’s journey to guard the store.
Students can have holidays, but some editors do not, such as Xiao Xue from "The Horror".
