Chapter 621: Borrowing a Car

Thinker Novel Network

Since the editor has already arranged the release schedule, it should not be able to be changed. Zhang Zian returned to the second floor with mixed feelings, wanting to tell π the news so that he could prepare himself mentally.

"Squeak!"

π didn't wait for him to speak, first pulled him to let him look at the computer screen.

"What's the matter, Pi?"

He bent over and saw a reminder just popped up in the author's backstage—"Hello, I am now notifying you that your work "Pet King" will be recommended by Sanjiang on the homepage today. Please keep updating the unfinished work."

Sanjiang recommended?

Ever since π started writing novels at Qidian, Zhang Zian has often been in the online discussion area of ​​the Wanghaige Forum, and learned a lot of common sense about Qidian’s recommended positions from the chats of netizens. He knows that Sanjiang recommendation is one of the most important recommendations in the new issue of the novel. If he can get a good ranking in the Sanjiang recommendation, for example, the top five, it often means that he can get the last and most awesome recommendation before it goes on the shelves. Middle - "Highly recommended on the homepage".

In addition, Sanjiang's recommendation has another meaning - the novels that can be listed on Sanjiang's recommendation, in addition to meeting the standards, are often very distinctive in some aspects, and have been recognized by the editorial department of the starting point.

"Congratulations, π!" He congratulated π sincerely.

"Squeak!" Pi also smiled happily.

Along the way, he has witnessed that π has experienced three rounds of recommendation, including urban popular category recommendation, urban strong recommendation, and home page six-frequency recommendation. Every time he recommends π, he ranks first, becoming a dazzling member, with undisputed The advantage goes to the next round. Sanjiang recommendation is the fourth round of recommendation that π is about to go through. If it goes well, π will get the fifth round of strong recommendation on the homepage when it is put on the shelves.

Most of the novels that have reached this point will be put on the shelves after the strong recommendation is over, and the novels that are put on the shelves at the same time as the strong recommendation are considered rare. Zhang Zian thought about it for a while, and guessed that the bald-headed monk was very optimistic about π's novel, and he could compete for the monthly list of new books when it was released on New Year's Eve.

"By the way, π, let me tell you something - I just received a notice from the editor that your novel will be on shelves on New Year's Eve." He said bluntly.

π's originally happy face suddenly became uneasy.

"Squeak?"

He knows what it is worried about. At present, almost 30,000 netizens have collected its novels. Both the book review area and the book friend group are very active, because it is currently a free reading period, and once it is on the shelves, how many people are willing to read it? Paying for a novel written by a newcomer?

No one knows the answer, only time will tell.

As a website, it is impossible to keep novels free forever, otherwise the website will not make money, and if it does not make money, it will not be able to pay employees, maintain the operation of the server, and cannot advertise in other places. The power is further expanded, so charging is inevitable, and it is a stage that every successful novel has to go through.

"Pi, don't worry, the editor is very optimistic about you, and I am also very optimistic about you. Your current grades have exceeded expectations. If this is the case, what can you not let go of?" , there are still many people supporting you silently, from the editors of the starting point to the single owner of the book list, to ordinary book friends, everyone is your strength to move forward."

He logged into QQ on his computer, opened the book friend group, and asked π to see about 300 book friends in the group, and said: "π, 300 strangers gathered in the virtual space because of you. What a marvelous thing!"

π silently stared at the list of group members, the computer screen reflected the ever-changing luster on its pince-nez.

After a long time, it nodded vigorously and typed: I will work hard.

"I believe in you." Zhang Zian patted it on the shoulder.

He straightened up and saw Wang Gan and Li Kun coming back from the window carrying two big plastic bags each. Knowing that they had bought fireworks, he said to π, "I'll go downstairs first, and you write slowly."

Go back to the first floor,

Wang Qian and Li Kun also stepped into the door at the same time, holding plastic bags and asking: "Master, I bought the fireworks, where do I put them?"

"Show me, how much did you buy?"

The two big plastic bags were filled with fireworks and firecrackers, so many that he couldn't name them. Because he didn't tell them what kind to buy, they bought some of each type, including slightly larger jet fireworks, two thousand-sounding earth red firecrackers, and some cold fireworks that were safe to set off.

"Master, where do you want to put it, we will put it for you... But when you go to set off flowers and cannons, take us with you?" The two of them approached with shy faces.

"I'll just let it go by myself, you guys clean it up quickly." Zhang Zian waved his hands and told them to go to work.

Old Cha poked his head out from behind the TV and asked, "Zian, I seem to smell the smell of sulfur and saltpeter?"

Zhang Zian brought the fireworks in front of it, and showed it a bunch of red firecrackers, "Old Man Tea, don't you regret that there are no firecrackers during the Chinese New Year? It's okay, we bought them and set them off ourselves."

Old Cha stared at the fireworks in the bag: "Zian, this old man just said it casually, why bother spending money on it?"

"Anyway, we didn't pay for it, so don't worry about it." Zhang Zian picked up the plastic bag full of fireworks and went into the storage room on the second floor. From Wang Gan and Li Kun's narration, he already guessed that it was Lao Cha who stopped and punished the speeding bag snatchers for them that night, so it's not too much to let them spend money to satisfy Lao Cha's wish?

After putting these flammable and explosive items in the storage room, he received a voice message on his mobile phone, which was sent by Lu Yiyun.

"Mr. Store Manager, Dr. Sun is looking for you downstairs."

"I see, I'll be downstairs right away," he replied.

He walked quickly to the first floor, and Sun Xiaomeng was standing outside wearing a down jacket, his eyes resting on the pregnant Abyssinian cats.

"Are they going to be born soon?" She asked when she saw Zhang Zian.

"Probably after the Spring Festival." He replied.

"Give."

She threw a small gadget casually, and he accurately picked it up in his hand. It was her car key.

Because Sun Xiaomeng had to go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year and didn't need a car, and Zhang Zian wanted to go to the police dog nursing home, so he borrowed a car from her to save the trouble of finding a taxi.

"Thank you." Zhang Zian put the car keys in his pocket.

"There's no need to thank you verbally, whoever asked you to help me, otherwise I really have no place to put those cats and dogs." She shook her head lightly, "Also, at least wash the car and refill it after using it." Fill it up! Otherwise, I won’t borrow it next time.”

Zhang Zian couldn't help but feel very embarrassed when she exposed his thoughts. In fact, he was planning to play dumb and return the car after using it.

He was about to declare that he was not that kind of person when he saw a police car parked on the side of the road.
