One Hundred and Fifty. Fortunately

Chapter 151 150. Fortunately

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tianhao and Xiao Ruoyan walked into a beautifully decorated Western restaurant.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a piano in the spacious hall, and a pianist in a suit is playing beautiful music. Compared with ordinary restaurants that rely on speakers to produce music, the style of this Western restaurant immediately rises. .

Although Zhou Tianhao knew nothing about this and was not qualified to appreciate the quality of music, with his simple intuition, he could tell that based on the above characteristics, this restaurant was in one word - expensive.

Of course, with his current worth, he can still afford such a restaurant, no matter how expensive it is, which only costs tens of thousands of yuan, as long as he doesn't order anything too outrageous, such as the 1982 Lafite...

"Is it Xiaoyan?"

The two were just about to find someone when they suddenly heard a call. Zhou Tianhao turned around and saw a well-dressed man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses waving to Xiao Ruoyan.

Xiao Ruoyan's novel platform is one of the largest in the industry, so the editors she recruits are naturally of good quality, and their quality can be considered from all aspects.

For example, when he looks at this editor, he can feel that he has a more bookish temperament than ordinary people. It is obviously a temperament that can only be acquired by reading books for a long time. However, he is a novel editor after all. Novels are very story-based, but the essay writing is very important. The connotation is still a bit lacking, so although this editor has the temperament of a scholar, there is still a gap between him and the state of being "full of poetry and calligraphy"...

"Boss..."

Xiao Ruoyan walked over with Zhou Tianhao with a smile on her face.

"Who is this……"

The editor didn't expect Xiao Ruoyan to actually bring someone here. He frowned slightly, but he concealed it well, and only Zhou Tianhao noticed it.

"This is……"

Xiao Ruoyan was about to explain when Zhou Tianhao suddenly said: "I pestered her to come. We are friends. After all, this is her first time doing this kind of work. She is not familiar with many things, so there is someone familiar with her." It’s better to take care of it.”

"Don't worry, you talk about your business, I'm just here to eat."

"What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."

The editor was obviously a little dissatisfied with the arrival of outsiders, but he still nodded and said:

"Sit down and take whatever you want to eat first."

"I'm not hungry."

Xiao Ruoyan shook her head, but Zhou Tianhao picked up the menu on his own:

Filet mignon——139 yuan

Tomahawk steak – 399 yuan

Steak pasta - 169 yuan

…

In the past, Zhou Tianhao would just close the menu and go to the next restaurant...

But now he is different from before. Facing the waiter's gaze, he said very calmly:

"Have a tomahawk steak, medium rare."

"OK."

Hearing Zhou Tianhao's order, the editor frowned obviously. He felt that this guy was really ignorant and ordered something so expensive...

But seeing that Zhou Tianhao didn't seem to have any pressure, he didn't want to get angry. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ruoyan and said with a smile:

"Xiaoyan, have you published any work on any website before?"

"No...this is my first work."

Although Xiao Ruoyan didn't eat anything, she still ordered a cup of coffee. She put in two sugar cubes and pulled them a few times, saying: "Actually, I didn't expect this book to have such results. After all, I was writing it." Before writing the book, I saw many authors saying that writing is difficult. Signing a contract is just the beginning. There is still a long way to go to make money..."

"This shows that you are very talented."

The editor smiled and said:

“At least 90% of people in this field can’t get a penny no matter how much they write.

Ninety percent of the people who can get money are guaranteed by full attendance, and those who can really make money by writing books are at the top, but there are several levels above, and each level is like a chasm, and you don’t know what to do at every step. No matter how many authors have been screened out, there are only a handful of them who can truly reach the top and become gods. "

"And the most amazing phenomenon in this industry is that some people can make money as soon as they enter the industry, and some people have been making money for decades. What matters here is talent. You are a talented author, and you don't need to be taught. Know how to write.”

"Boss, that's a big reward..."

Xiao Ruoyan smiled sheepishly, turned around and saw Zhou Tianhao looking around, seemingly not interested in their conversation at all. He was not even as attractive as the pianist in the hall...

"..."

Xiao Ruoyan did not expect that Zhou Tianhao really came here to be the atmosphere team. He did not participate in a word and showed extremely high professionalism...

"This time, besides wanting to meet you, a rookie, there is one more thing I want to ask your opinion on."

The editor suddenly asked: "Our platform will launch a new star training program for talented authors like you. The purpose is not to waste your talents and give you systematic training so that you can write better in the future." I wonder if you are interested in his works?"

"Training?"

To be honest, Xiao Ruoyan still found it quite interesting, so she asked about the details, and the editor patiently explained it. It was said that as long as Xiao Ruoyan participated in this, she could become a top master and earn hundreds of thousands a month... …

"Hello sir, your tomahawk steak..."

At this time, the two people who were chatting happily suddenly saw the waiter coming over with a plate covered with a stainless steel round lid.

The two subconsciously stopped talking and watched the waiter place the plate in front of Zhou Tianhao and pick up the stainless steel lid...

For a moment, a rich aroma filled the air, and the axe-like steak was grilled to a shiny shine and full of elasticity. When Zhou Tianhao saw this, he picked up the knife and fork as if no one else was there.

The knife went down, and the sound of the plate creaking was heard. A large piece of steak was cut open. Zhou Tianhao pricked it with a fork and was about to eat it. In a blink of an eye, he saw the editor and Xiao Ruoyan staring at him motionless...

"Would you like some?"

Zhou Tianhao unceremoniously handed the steak fork to the editor's face. The editor suddenly looked embarrassed and refused quickly, "No, no, you can eat it yourself."

"how about you?"

When Zhou Tianhao saw that the editor didn't want it, he happily handed the steak to Xiao Ruoyan, preparing to stay for a second, and then stretched it back to enjoy it as a matter of course. When he suddenly found a tempting cherry mouth opening in front of his eyes, he took it in one mouthful. He took the steak he handed over, then withdrew it, his slightly bulging cheeks slowly squirming...

"tasty!"

Xiao Ruoyan chewed it, swallowed it, and made a comment.

"...Would you like another piece?"

Zhou Tianhao didn't expect Xiao Ruoyan to actually eat it, but he ate it and it didn't matter. But when he noticed the editor, he found that his face seemed a bit ugly...

"No, you can eat."

Xiao Ruoyan shook her head and called the waiter, "Give me the same one."

"What about you, editor?"

Xiao Ruoyan did not forget to take care of the editor.

"I'm not hungry."

The editor secretly took a breath and said:

"What do you think of my proposal just now?"

"Is this online guidance?"

Xiao Ruoyan glanced at the steak on Zhou Tianhao's plate and seemed a little impatient...

"No, it's offline one-on-one guidance. A master will give you one-on-one guidance, and there will be a special editor to review it for you. Well, I am in charge this time."

After the editor finished speaking, he noticed that Xiao Ruoyan hesitated, and then said after a while: "If it's not online, forget it. My house has just been rented not long ago. I will lose the deposit if I return it, and this is the book I want to write. , I just want to do it by myself, so forget it.”

After saying that, Xiao Ruoyan took another look at Zhou Tianhao's steak.

"How about I give this to you first?"

Seeing this, Zhou Tianhao was about to push his plate over, but Xiao Ruoyan rolled his eyes, "You'd better eat it yourself, I'm just a little hungry..."

"..."

After watching this scene, the corner of the editor's mouth twitched unconsciously, then he took a deep breath, stood up, looked at them and said:

"Then you eat slowly. I'll leave first if I have something to do."

"Well, boss, walk slowly."

Xiao Ruoyan said something, but obviously she wasn't interested in continuing the conversation...

Zhou Tianhao waved politely when he saw this.

The editor nodded and walked out. Originally, he wanted to pay the bill before leaving, but when he thought about his original plan being ruined, and when he thought about it, not only did his plan fail, but he also had to get two steaks for nothing...

After thinking for a while, he walked straight out of the western restaurant.

Although two steaks would not be enough to pay for, for the man next to Xiao Ruoyan, it was probably considered a heavy hemorrhage...

Thinking of this, the grievance he had just suffered seemed to dissipate a lot...

"Look, you just read too many novels. How can your editor be as bad as you think?"

When Zhou Tianhao saw the editor walking away, he immediately spoke.

"It seems that I have thought too much."

Xiao Ruoyan agreed, and then she waited for her steak, opened the lid, and started cutting it immediately.

As soon as she took her first bite, Xiao Ruoyan suddenly turned red...

"What's wrong? Is it spicy?"

Zhou Tianhao said doubtfully, "Black pepper is not bad."

"..."

Xiao Ruoyan's face turned red, she took out the meat on the fork that had not yet been chewed, pursed her lips, and said sheepishly:

"I forgot that I have no money. Can you give it to me first and pay it back to you next time?"

Zhou Tianhao lent her five hundred yuan, but she had already spent part of it, and it was no longer enough...

"That's it?"

Zhou Tianhao said with a smile: "Eat, our fate is still short of this meal?"

"We'll settle it together then."

Zhou Tianhao did not say please directly. After all, Xiao Ruoyan had already offered to borrow it. If he said please, it would sound like a charity. It would also make Xiao Ruoyan owe a favor. He didn't want to be owed a favor...

"Um……"

Xiao Ruoyan finally ate with confidence.

Zhou Tianhao looked at Xiao Ruoyan's rosy face and the way she was eating meat with peace of mind. He was suddenly very happy that he had the system. If it were before, the two of them would probably just stare at each other here...

By that time, Xiao Ruoyan would even need the editor's intervention to be rescued, and at that time, he would probably have been embarrassed to leave the three bedrooms and the second living room...

After eating and wiping it clean, Zhou Tianhao waved his hand.

"Waiter, Checkout!"
