Chapter 380 381 [The first pot of gold]

  Xiang Nan was thinking about how to make his first pot of gold while eating.

   There were people coming and going in the cafeteria, and many girls couldn't help but peek at him when they passed by.

  According to the setting in the play, Chen Xiao is the number one handsome guy in the school, and he is quite popular among girls.

  It's a pity that he only looks like a prince, but his background is very poor.

  After much deliberation, Xiang Nan decided to start by writing a novel.

  For a poor student like him, writing is basically the way to make money with the lowest cost and the highest return.

  However, Chen Xiaozheng's initial conditions are not even as good as Xie Yongqiang.

  Xie Yongqiang still has a computer, so he can directly write online novels to make money. Chen Xiaozheng didn't even have a computer, and his living expenses were pitifully low, not even enough to go to Internet cafes.

  So if he wants to write, he can only write manuscripts by hand and submit them to some magazines.

   Fortunately, before he came, he checked some articles.

  Because the movie version of "To Our Dying Youth" happened in the 1990s. At that time, the Internet was not prosperous at all, and the only way to create was to submit articles.

  …

  After Xiang Nan made up his mind, he finished his meal and went directly to the library.

   Today is the first day of school for freshmen, so there is no class all day. Of course, not many people go to self-study. Most of the people were either bored sleeping in the dormitory, or went to the school gate to see the beautiful women.

  As the saying goes, first-year girls are fresh on the shelves, second-year girls are on sale at a discount, junior girls buy one get one free, and senior girls give it away for free.

  Nowadays, the first-year school girl has just arrived here, with a ignorant face, innocent and easy to deceive, this is a good opportunity for the seniors to start. Last night, a few animals in the dormitory were talking hilariously, saying that they were going to pick up schoolgirls today, and hooked up with a few by the way.

  So the library is really empty, and there are very few people who are motivated.

  Xiang Nan went to the computer room of the library first, surfed the Internet for half an hour, checked some information he needed, and then returned to the reading room.

  After sitting down, he took out a copy of "Introduction to Architecture" and put on a posture of serious study. Then he took out the paper and pen again, and wrote down the eight characters of "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire".

   "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven" is a suspenseful action movie launched by director Tsui Hark of Xiangjiang in 2010. The story is full of suspense and climaxes, especially the setting of [Ghost City], [Tongtian Buddha], [Red Flame Golden Turtle], etc., which are really brilliant and impressive.

   Therefore, after its release, this film achieved a box office of 300 million, ranking sixth in the annual box office list, and since then opened the prelude to the [Di Renjie] series, which can be said to be a very successful work.

  Xiang Nan intends to contribute to "Legends of the Ancient Times·Martial Arts Edition", so he plans to use the novel adapted from this movie as a stepping stone.

  …

  Xiang Nan immediately started writing.

   "I knew you would be here." Just as he was writing furiously, he heard a female voice laughing.

  Xiang Nan looked up, and saw a gentle, slender, demure beauty standing in front of him.

   "Zeng Yu, why are you here?" Xiang Nan stood up with a smile and greeted, at the same time turning over the paper calmly.

   Zeng Yu is the daughter of Vice President Zeng of the Department of Architecture, and the daughter of Yu Jing, the chairman of Dongfang Star. It can be said that she is a descendant of a famous family with a prominent status.

   Moreover, she is also an admirer of Chen Xiaozheng, and she has a deep affection for him. It's a pity that Chen Xiaozheng only regards her as a friend.

   "I'm here to borrow a few books to read." Zeng Yu said with a smile, "Ah Zheng, you really work hard. They all go to the school gate to see beautiful women, but you are still studying in the library."

  Xiang Nan smiled, "Beauties are nothing to look at, and studying can make me happy."

   "Yes." Zeng Yu nodded with a smile, "Heroes agree, so I'll stay with you."

  Xiang Nan didn't want her to stay, this would affect his writing. But he really couldn't open his mouth to chase her away, so he just nodded and read a book with Zeng Yu.

  …

  Xiang Nan was relatively unfamiliar with architectural design, but now that he has flipped through the book, he begins to think that it is actually quite interesting.

  Architectural design is a discipline that spans engineering technology and humanities, and because it involves a lot of cultivation and nurturing of aesthetics, it can be called an architectural art.

  It needs to learn subjects such as sketching, color, plane composition, three-dimensional composition, architectural composition, architectural mechanics, interior design, urban planning, and so on.

   To learn this major well, you need not only a smart and rational mind, but also the talent of an artist. It can be said that it is not easy at all.

  Xiang Nan is studying hard. He found that Raj's IQ also served him well when studying these subjects.

  At least after reading these books, he can remember the general content. This is still very helpful for his final exam.

   While he was seriously reading, Zeng Yu on the opposite side raised his head from time to time, looking at him who was handsome and hardworking, with deep love in his eyes.

   "Ah Zheng, it's noon, let's go eat." Just as Xiang Nan was engrossed, Zeng Yu suddenly said with a smile.

   "Oh, okay." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile, put away the book and manuscript paper, and then accompanied Zeng Yu to the restaurant.

  After finishing the meal, sit down and eat together.

  The combination of their handsome guy and beautiful woman has really attracted a lot of attention.

   Men and women coming and going in the cafeteria, even the most calm people, would sneak a glance or two.

  However, Xiang Nan and Zeng Yu are already used to it.

   They finished their meal calmly.

   "Ah Zheng, let's go back to the library." Zeng Yu invited again.

   "Oh, I have something to do in the afternoon." Xiang Nan smiled slightly, "Well, you can go by yourself first, and I will go to you after I finish my work."

   "Okay, then it's settled, you must come." Zeng Yu smiled, and then left first.

   After she left, Xiang Nan hurried to the study room and took the time to write "Di Renjie".

  In the morning, because Zeng Yu was in the way, he wrote less than 6,000 words, and his progress was far behind.

  …

  Xiang Nan wrote in the study room until four o'clock in the afternoon, and then went to the library to find Zeng Yu as agreed.

   After reading a book with her for a while, eat together again, and then find an excuse to leave after eating. At the end of the evening self-study, he finally wrote 20,000 characters, and his wrists were sore from exhaustion.

  However, the story is only less than half written. It is estimated that if it is all written, it will take at least 50,000 words. Based on the current manuscript fee, it can probably sell for three or four thousand yuan. Although it is not too much, it is enough to support the meal expenses of a semester.

  Xiang Nan then returned to the dormitory, and saw roommates Zhang Kai, Gong Cheng, and Xu Kaiyang, Chen She, Hu Jin and others in the next dormitory fighting.

   "Look, you see, I'm the first person to take a photo with the newly promoted goddess of Jianda." Zhang Kai said with a look of embarrassment.
