I have to teach the world a lesson

Pay the tuition fee.

After getting the book.

Zhang Shengzhan officially started his college life.

Generally speaking, Zhang Sheng feels that his college life will be exciting.

Although there will be no love that can be sung and cried, there will be no colorful community life, and there will be no longing and pursuit of dreams...

But he could watch the beautiful young figures chatting about various topics in school. Although they were childish, they were full of youthful vigor and vitality, and there were no false smiles or intrigues. Everyone was happy. Write your thoughts on your face...

It's quite interesting.

On the afternoon of September 2nd.

After coming out of school and mailing the contract for the book "Breaking the Sky" to the Wenyue headquarters, Zhang Sheng ran to the Internet cafe and used the few hours he had to code.

Last night, the data of "Drying to Break the Sky" fell out of the top ten of the new book list. Today, when Zhang Sheng clicked on the ranking list, he found that the ranking of "Drying to Break the Sky" had entered the top ten again...

There are 5,800 collections and 5,01 recommendation votes.

Zhang Sheng took a look at the data. Apart from being happy, his other emotions had become very calm.

There was neither surprise nor disappointment.

[I will try my best, but don’t have too much hope. As you know, due to some factors, this book may not be recommended in this period of time, even if the beginning is changed...]

When signing the contract, editor Qilin sent Zhang Sheng this paragraph.

When he saw this passage, Zhang Sheng knew that the early exposure of "Breaking the Sphere" could only be on the list of newcomers and new books.

Zhang Sheng laughed instead.

[Life is a lonely practice.

For ordinary people in adversity, this practice is nothing more than deeper.

You are growing, you are tempering, and you become riddled with holes, but in the future, these will eventually be the most precious treasures of memories. 】

This passage will definitely be included in his "Biography" in the future.

In the noisy Internet cafe, Zhang Sheng smiled, then opened WORD and began to write silently.

…………………………

Sunday, September 4th, will be a book signing event for the new book "That Summer".

There are still two days until September 4th, but Lin Xia has already begun to feel anxious.

After all, this is her first book, and the big names invited by the publisher are very powerful. If the sales are not satisfactory by then...

Will it disappoint everyone?

Will...

Very embarrassing?

There are always possibilities in this world.

While thinking of the bright stars, we also think of the hazy and dark cold world.

Late at night.

Lin Xia was lying on the bed, unable to sleep repeatedly.

On the balcony, a little girl was holding a mobile phone and calling quietly.

In high school, love was a unique taboo. Although there is no such taboo in college, it does have some sequelae.

in love?

Lin Xia never thought that even if there was some puppy love stuff inserted into "That Summer", it would only be some hot discussion.

At this moment, she had no intention of thinking about these messy things.

nervous!

Increasing nervousness was spreading throughout her body...

How you dress that day, where you stand that day, what you want to say that day, the special situations that will happen during the signing that day...

Worried about gains and losses, she suddenly became breathless.

At this moment, her phone vibrated.

She picked up the phone and found that the call was from Zhang Panpan. She secretly took the phone and walked out of the balcony.

Then...

Zhang Panpan, who always chirped like a magpie on the phone, suddenly felt a little choked when he called today.

She appeared to be crying and appeared to have had some alcohol.

"It's not fair, it's really unfair. I can obviously sing better than that person, but everyone thinks I can sing better than her!"

"But……"

"Why is she the one who advanced and not me!"

"She's not as beautiful as me, she doesn't sing as well as me, and she's not as good as me in anything. I'm not willing to accept it. I'm really not willing to accept it..."

"They made me drink, and they made me drink a lot of wine. I was very scared, but I..."

"I have no choice. I drink, but I don't drink enough..."

"They wanted to do something to me, so I ran home. Now I'm making this call to you at home...I don't dare to tell my parents..."

"My manager, Sister Hong, seems to have changed. When I signed the contract before, she was always smiling, but today she is so cold. She told me that if I want to advance, I have to give something!"

"I don't know what to do, why is this happening, they all seem to be lying to me, I really don't know who to believe!"

"I'm so stupid, I'm really stupid..."

"But, I just want to sing and compete! Why are you doing this to me!"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, the initial choking gradually turned into hysterical crying.

After hearing the news, a shocked expression flashed across Lin Xia's face, and then she began to do her best to comfort Zhang Panpan.

But as she was being comforted, her originally nervous mood turned into depression in an instant, and her chest, which was unable to breathe, felt as if it was suffocated and had been punched hard.

She suggested that Zhang Panpan go to the police, but Zhang Panpan was worried about gain and loss, and felt that they would look down on her even more in the future.

She suggested telling her parents...

but!

She originally signed up for "Shining Girls" without telling her parents, and even took the Yanying exam and signed the contract, but was opposed by her parents. Now that she told her parents about this situation, her parents scolded her without saying a word, and even her mother, who was in a rage, did If it doesn't work well, it will break her legs.

"Xia Xia, can you tell auntie and ask her to help me? Auntie... it's better not to say anything. They haven't done anything to me, and auntie is so busy. Don't bother her with these things. I'll do it tomorrow. Go and communicate with the company..."

"..."

When Lin Xia heard this, a wry smile flashed across his face.

Panpan also consoled herself.

After Zhang Panpan hung up the phone, Lin Xia closed her eyes.

At this moment, she felt very upset.

Her mother taught her since she was a child that this society is not as bright as imagined, and even dark places can be so cold that people shiver.

Although she had been vigilant before and had always obeyed her mother's words and treated everyone with caution, but after hearing some dark words, she suddenly felt frighteningly cold.

Shady stories, transactions, power and wealth, speculation...

[Zhang Sheng, what do you think will happen after Panpan signed a ten-year C-level artist contract with [Shengshi Entertainment]? 】

[Some people always have to go through some wind and rain and torture, and then be tortured until they are bruised and broken, so that they can grow... In the entertainment industry, the water is deeper].

She suddenly thought of Zhang Sheng's words.

Zhang Sheng...

She seemed to have a kind of maturity and experience that did not belong to their age group. She seemed to have experienced all kinds of overt and covert struggles, and was used to seeing the ugliness and darkness of the world. It even once made her feel that Zhang Sheng was from her mother's generation!

He seemed to have expected everything about Zhang Panpan's experience.

At this moment, she seemed to have found some backbone. She subconsciously took out her mobile phone and called Zhang Sheng.

The call was answered quickly.

but……

The owner of the phone was not Zhang Sheng.

Instead, he was a middle-aged man.

Lin Xia initially thought it was Zhang Sheng's friend or something, but after talking for a few words, she realized that it was [Senran Integrated Kitchen], Zhang Sheng's former boss Liu Kaili.

"Zhang Sheng...has resigned from my job."

"Ah, then what did he do?"

"He's in college. We're also looking for him, but we don't know what college he went to. Hey... do you know what college she went to?"

"I have no idea……"

Liu Kaili on the other end of the phone seemed to have encountered something. He looked very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Lin Xia shook his head and did not reveal to Liu Kaili where Zhang Sheng had gone.

After hanging up the phone...

Lin Xia's suppressed emotions suddenly became empty.

What happened to Zhang Sheng?

Why is it so good...

And why didn't he tell me his new mobile phone number?

Why tell me?

But I also lent him money!

After returning to the dormitory and lying on the bed, Lin Xia knew that she would have insomnia tonight.

In fact, I had insomnia the next morning...

Fortunately, there was no class the next day.

On the morning of September 3rd, she received a call from the publishing group, who told her something about tomorrow and Sunday.

She was exhausted as she listened, but the anxiety in her heart became more and more intense, and she had no intention of catching up on sleep.

until……

The phone rang again.

She looked at the unfamiliar landline number and hung up first when she thought it was an advertising call.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the call came back.

She answered the phone.

Then, I heard a familiar voice...

"Hello, classmate Lin, I am Zhang Sheng..."
