Xiang Nan and Fang Hui took advantage of the summer vacation to pass the driver's license test.

   In fact, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to get a driver's license.

  Because the average person learns to drive, there are basically a few people, or even dozens of people with a car. Take turns to get on the car to study in different time periods, and you may not be able to drive for an hour a day.

   Therefore, there are only a few items in the second subject, and they have to practice repeatedly for 20 or 30 days.

   But Xiang Nan was willing to spend money, he and Fang Hui shared a car, practiced from morning to night, and basically got proficient in a week.

  The same is true for subject three. For the others, there are more than a dozen people and one car, and they practice up to three or four times a day.

  Xiang Nan is different. He has practiced on a car to black, at least thirty or forty times. And after repeated practice, no matter how stupid Fang Hui was, he could still learn it.

  Besides, Fang Hui is not stupid at all, just a little timid.

  After getting his driver's license, Xiang Nan bought a Wrangler right away, planning to take Fang Hui out for a trip when he had time, to go around the capital. Such as Xishan, the Great Wall, Qingling and so on.

  If the vacation is longer, you can also go to Bashang Grassland, Summer Resort, Beidaihe, etc., which are all very good choices.

  Fang Hui didn't buy a car.

  Actually, after her driver's license was issued, her mother wanted to buy it for her. However, she herself is afraid of driving on the road and accidents due to poor skills, so she resolutely refuses to do so.

"The more you are afraid of driving, the more you want to drive." Xiang Nan advised, "It's like learning to swim. The less you know how to swim, the more you have to get into the water. Otherwise, how can you swim well. You are afraid of driving, so you want to drive more. After a long time, Once you get used to it, you will become more courageous.

   Besides, don't be afraid of accidents. You drive well, if you don't make mistakes, the accident is someone else's responsibility. And there are insurance companies to guarantee compensation, what are you afraid of? "

  Although what Xiang Nan said makes sense, Fang Hui still has no plans to buy a car in a short time.

  But every weekend, Xiang Nan would drive her to travel. If the road is almost the same, she will be replaced to drive in order to accumulate experience.

   Jiamo and Zhao Ye would occasionally join them.

  …

  In the autumn of 2002, Xiang Nan launched a new work "Lord of the Mysteries: The Clown".

  With the hot sales of the fantasy novel "Harry Potter" and the hits of fantasy movies "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", fantasy themes have gradually become popular.

  The market for such novels has thus expanded. For example, Jiangnan and Jin Hezai wrote the "Kyushu" series; Cang Yue wrote "Star Wars"; Yehu under the tree "Sou Shen Ji" and so on.

   And "Lord of the Mysteries" is a masterpiece of squid that can dive, and it has amazed the Internet literature circle after its release. No matter the story, characters, or setting are all eye-catching, it can be said to be the pinnacle of the development of web literature in the past 20 years.

  So when this book was released, it immediately caused an uproar among young readers and received a huge response.

  However, this kind of theme has just become popular after all, and everyone's acceptance is not very good, so the sales volume is not large. Compared with "Know How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" published at the beginning of the year, sales have shrunk by nearly half.

   This is within Xiang Nan's expectation.

   Firstly, "Lord of the Mysteries" is a slow-moving work. The beginning of the story is a little flat, not amazing.

  Although the male protagonist Klein is a time-traveling party, he doesn’t have many golden fingers, so he still needs to grow up a little bit, which is relatively lacking in excitement.

  In comparison, Xiang Shaolong in "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" can fight and tell stories.

  In "The Chronicles of Narnia", several children who went to the countryside to escape the disaster of war, after passing through the closet, they are the long-awaited savior...

  Secondly, the setting of "Lord of the Mysteries" is relatively complicated, with so many true gods, monsters, rituals, families, magic... It is also difficult for readers to accept it.

  Compared to other novels, the settings are much simpler and easier for readers to accept.

  The sales volume of "Lord of the Mysteries" is not as good as expected, which makes the publishing house have some criticisms.

  The editor directly suggested that Xiang Nan stop trying to write this kind of Western fantasy, and go back to the old path of youth pain literature, the sales volume is the most guaranteed.

  But Xiang Nan knows the value of "Lord of the Mysteries", especially its setting, which is likely to inspire a large number of Western fantasy writers. Just like the "Ethereal Journey" that year laid the foundation for comprehension novels.

  That's why he knew that the transformation would affect sales, but he still chose to publish "Lord of the Mysteries". In this way, when online novels become popular in the future, maybe he will be honored as the founder of Chinese fantasy novels.

  This honor is much better than simply earning millions. After all, he no longer refers to making money by writing novels. Today, he makes even more money from the stock market.

  …

  In the spring of 2003, Xiang Nan released the youth pain novel "To Our Perishing Youth" to make up for the decline in popularity caused by the poor sales of "Lord of the Mysteries".

  At the same time, Xiang Nan gave Tang Haibing 10,000 yuan.

  It turned out that when Sun Tao and Yang Qing were together, they accidentally killed someone.

  Sun Tao wanted to take the opportunity to propose to Yang Qing, but Yang Qing didn't want to marry Sun Tao.

  The reason is that after graduating from vocational school, Sun Tao has never had a stable job, wandering around all day, doing nothing, not to mention buying a house or a car, and even supporting himself is a problem.

  She didn't want her child to live in such a family, nor did she want to spend her whole life with such a worthless man. So she wanted to kill the child.

  Unfortunately, she, Sun Tao, Tang Haibing, and Wu Tingting together couldn't even come up with the money for the abortion.

  After all, the four of them are all the same, none of them have any serious jobs, and they all just like to play. And this matter can't be opened to the family, so in the end, they can only ask Xiang Nan for help.

   After Xiang Nan received the call, without saying a word, he drove to send 10,000 yuan. Then he dragged Yang Qing to the hospital, and sent him home after the incident.

   "Chen Xun, thank you." After going out, Tang Haibing said to Xiang Nan.

   "There is nothing to thank, we are all brothers, your business is my business." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

  Although he and Tang Haibing have been drifting away for a long time, they haven't seen each other much in recent years. But they have difficulties, he is still willing to lend a helping hand.

   "Chen Xun, what I said was wrong before, I apologize to you." Tang Haibing said again.

  Before he said that Xiang Nan would be implicated by Fang Hui, and he didn't know how to die. Now it seems that Xiang Nan's life is much better than theirs.

"Hey, they're all buddies, so it's outrageous to say that. I never took this matter to heart." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "But Hai Bing, you can't mess around like this anymore, you should do something about yourself A career. Not to mention anything else, even if it’s a job or opening a shop, it’s still a job.”

   Tang Haibing nodded.

   Today, the four of them have graduated for more than two years. At the critical moment, even one thousand yuan could not be scraped together. What kind of life is this called?

   It's no wonder that Yang Qing wants to break up with Sun Tao, because there is really no way out.

   "Tell me if you have difficulties, I have nothing else, I still have some spare money." Xiang Nan said again.

   "Thanks, buddy." Tang Haibing said gratefully.
