Oh, I remember the name of that article, it was 'Persuasion'."Wang Xuan said after a little recollection.
Chu Yi instantly realized.
So it was this article!
It was surprisingly taken by the teacher for submission so quickly, this speed was really staggering.Wasn't it just handed in this afternoon?
"Well ------ well.It's pretty good to be in the newspaper too."Chu Yi said, suddenly remembering something, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, only to find that the screen could not be turned on, it should be that the power was out and turned off automatically.No wonder his mom couldn't contact him and entrusted his landlord sister to find him.
"Then I'll send your mom a WeChat."Wang Xuan said.
Wang Xuan pulled out her phone from the pocket of her shorts and placed it on her thigh to compose a message.After a while, the phone began to vibrate and received a reply.
"Alright, your mom has already spoken to the school leaders."Wang Xuan said, "Your article will appear in the latest issue of the Bai Cheng Times this weekend, and then you'll be given a manuscript fee next Monday."
"How much will the manuscript fee ------ probably be?"Chu Yi asked.
"It seems to be close to ten thousand."Wang Xuan said.
Chu Yi's eyes widened, deeply shocked.
Just a composition written in a few minutes could be sold for close to ten thousand?
This was too much money to earn!
This was much faster than broadcasting live on your own ah!
In recent days, Chu Yi started live broadcasting as soon as he got home from school, playing one or two or two or three chicken games, giving his full attention for just an hour or two, while the gifts rewarded by his fans only amounted to a few hundred dollars.Casually write such an article, actually can top live dozens of days of income?
Chu Yi was instantly moved.
Ever since he got the system and the world changed, Chu Yi had mastered many literary classics that only he knew, classics that people in this world had never heard of.For example, this piece of Persuasion thrown out this time had caused such an effect.If he could throw out a few more, wouldn't he be able to make a fortune?
Just as he was thinking this, the system ring on his hand suddenly vibrated, and immediately afterward, a line of subtitles appeared in Chu Yi's mind:
[Writing is the third stage of the mission, and cannot be opened for the time being]
[The host's current mission is to become a popular anchor.]
Chu Yi secretly sighed.The system's words worked best, after all, he was counting on the system to provide him with a good brain with a high IQ.The matter of writing, let's put it on hold for now.
"Right, sis, let me give you the last month's room fee."Chu Yi suddenly remembered this one.
Previously, Chu Yi owed the last month's rent, he really couldn't pay it, originally Wang Xuan gave him a waiver, but Chu Yi always felt that it wasn't good to owe money and live for nothing.Recently, the live broadcast earned money, Chu Yi think it is best to pay back, no debt is light.A big man can't take advantage of a woman, right?
"Yo, your breath is not small."Wang Xuan smiled contemptuously, "OK, when your fee is paid, go upstairs and look for me."
"I don't need to wait for the manuscript fee, I have money now."Chu Yi took out his cell phone, "WeChat pay you or Alipay?"
Wang Xuan's eyes were a bit surprised and she sat up straight, "Where did you get the money as a little brat?Don't be giving me your tuition or something, there's no need."
"It's not tuition, it's a live broadcast reward.I've been doing live broadcasts for the past two days, and I've earned quite a lot."Chu Yi smiled proudly.
Wang Xuan first froze, then furrowed her brows, her tone stern, "Chu Yi, can you wake up!What time is it now, there are still dozens of days before your college entrance exams, can't you figure out the importance of the college entrance exams?I don't need this room fee, and I don't lack this amount of money, the deposit in my account is almost eight figures.You just need to focus on your studies and stop messing around with all that nonsense!"
Wang Xuan spoke very fast, like a machine gun.Chu Yi tried to interject several times to explain, but was interrupted by her strong tone.Chu Yi thought to herself, "This woman's mouth is so poisonous and fast, her husband will definitely suffer a great loss when he argues with her in the future.Who can argue with her?And who could quarrel with her!
"So, how are the grades now?Are you sure about getting into college?"Wang Xuan changed the topic and continued to ask.
"I'm completely sure about getting into university, I'm doing my best to sprint to Tsinghua and Peking University."Chu Yi replied.
"What nonsense!With grades like yours you still want to enter Tsinghua and Peking University?"Wang Xuan's brows furrowed even tighter in anger, "Young people should be more practical, don't always boast.If you can get into Tsinghua or Peking University, I'll give you this building!I'm leaving, you study hard.If you don't get into college, you'll see!I'll find someone to teach you a lesson!"
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, she got up and left, throwing the door shut with force.Although her attitude was very harsh and she did not listen to explanations, a warm current welled up in Chu Yi's heart.He realized that this outwardly fierce landlady was actually a kind-hearted person.Her anger was just to motivate herself to study for the exams.When the acceptance letter came down, he must treat Wang Xuan to a meal.
Chu Yi then went online and started another live broadcast.He announced that he was going off the air to rest.The fans in the live room wailed and complained that Chu Yi was too lazy as an anchor.While other anchors broadcast continuously for a day or a night, Chu Yi only broadcast two games and then slipped away.
The next day's exam is still relatively simple, Chu Yi is confident that he can get close to a perfect score in science, but his English is a bit worrying.Since he was a child, his English score has always been very poor, and he can't even recognize all the phonetic symbols.Although he has recently read a lot of English teaching materials, the effect does not seem to be obvious.As a result, he predicted that his English score would only be around 130, which was quite unsatisfactory.
Chu Yi decided to strengthen his study of English afterwards.
The next day was a day off, and Chu Yi used this time to broadcast live.The fans were very happy and cheered continuously.The long broadcast was so effective that Chu Yi attracted 60,000 new fans in one day and received countless gifts.After withdrawing his money, he earned more than two thousand four hundred dollars.
Two thousand four hundred dollars a day!
Thirty days a month is a whole seventy-two thousand dollars!
Twelve months in a year was eighty-six thousand four hundred dollars!
As the hours of live broadcasting increase, his fame will continue to rise, and it's not a far-fetched dream to expect to earn a million dollars a year!
Chu Yi is very excited.A high IQ combined with hard work really pays off.He was able to live a comfortable life just by broadcasting live.
In the evening, Wang Xuan visited again, holding a copy of the Baicheng Times in her hand.She flipped to the penultimate page and showed Chu Yi an article; the literary piece was titled "Persuasion" and signed by none other than Chu Yi.
"Young man, you're really something, you're so good at writing literary essays!"Wang Xuan patted Chu Yi's shoulder and praised, "Come over and sign it."
Chu Yi was a bit surprised and noncommittal.
"Sign here and keep it as a souvenir."Wang Xuan pinched the back of Chu Yi's neck and half-dragged and half-dragged him to the coffee table.She laid the newspaper flat on the table and handed Chu Yi another pen.
"Write properly, don't be too casual."Wang Xuan reminded.
Chu Yi nodded and discreetly picked up the pen.He tried his best to make the handwriting neat and beautiful, and even though it was just two short words, it took nearly twenty seconds.
"What do you think of this character?"Chu Yi asked with considerable satisfaction.
Wang Xuan took the paper and examined it carefully, then frowned, "To be honest, this writing is a complete mess!It's flimsy, almost like it was written by a monkey in a zoo!"
Chu Yi almost lost his breath.
Wang Xuan nonchalantly grabbed the pen, casually drew a piece of draft paper, and wrote down the word "Wang Xuan" with a few swipes.The handwriting was neat and standardized, beautiful to the extreme, as if it was printed!It also looked like the handwriting on the calligraphy posters he had learned as a child!
Chu Yi looked dumbfounded, "It's so unfair that you dropped out of school and still write so well!"
Wang Xuan's face was full of smugness, "Do you know who my father is?"
"Who is it?"Chu Yi asked curiously.
"Wang Jun, a famous calligrapher and national painter!His one character is a thousand pieces of gold, one foot will be sold for ten thousand dollars!My dad's painting skills are superb, he taught me how to write, if you could write with your feet, you'd probably be better than me writing with my hands!"Wang Xuan mocked.
Chu Yi's heart shook, "No wonder you're rich, so it's because you have a father who can make a lot of money."He was thoughtful, "By the way, your father wants to meet me?"
"That's right."Wang Xuan nodded, "He said that your writing is very good and thinks that you are a young man with potential.My father likes to befriend literati, especially young men who write well."She turned her words around, "If you're willing, I'll be free next Saturday night to take you to meet him."
"Meet your father ah ------" Chu Yi was a bit hesitant, "But I'm a person who writes so poorly, and I have no idea of becoming a calligrapher ------"
"I'm sure I'll treat you to a meal or something after meeting my dad."Wang Xuan said, "Besides, you just need to keep quiet when you get there.People who want to study with my dad can line up from the entrance to the Forbidden City to the entrance to the White House!It's also good if you go and dabble in a meal!"
"Great!Of course I'd like to go!"Chu Yi nodded vigorously, "Dining is the best!"
The next day, Chu Yi stepped into school, and the class was already bustling with activity during morning reading.Listening carefully, the students were discussing around the weekend's exams:
"Gosh, that physics question was crushing!""Chemistry was hard as hell too, those questions were outrageous!""The biology test was killing me, it was all small print parts of the textbook that I hadn't even memorized, and the writing was all over the place, so I wasn't sure at all!""The language essay is really a crying shame, persuading people to study, how can this be written well ah!At best, I can only persuade people to go to internet cafes!""The math questions are killing me, if I don't kill you, I'll kill you!"
Chu Yi shrugged helplessly, judging from the reactions of his classmates, the difficulty of the last exam was obviously on the high side, and most of them felt that the questions were quite uncomplicated.However, Chu Yi didn't have much feeling about this, except for English, he felt that he could still cope with all the other subjects.
A full score of seven hundred and fifty points, Chu Yi silently estimated in his heart ------ that he should be able to score six hundred and seventy-eighty points, right?
"Chu Yi, how was your last exam result?"Shen Meng poked him with her elbow, "Is there any hope to get rid of the second last?"
"Second from the bottom?"The corner of Chu Yi's mouth rose, revealing a hint of a provocative smile, "I can't even look at second from the bottom, I want to take the first exam!"
Hearing this, the students in the first few rows all looked back, obviously thinking that Chu Yi was talking big.
"Stop bragging, how many points can you get?"Shen Meng pursued, "I estimate I can get close to three hundred and eight, can you surpass me?"
"I can probably get six hundred and seventy-eight points."Chu Yi answered truthfully.
Hearing this answer, the classmates' jeers got louder.
Shen Meng decided to ignore Chu Yi.She asked seriously, but Chu Yi kept bragging, which made her very angry.
Although Chu Yi had previously shone in math class and had shown Shen Meng an amazing memory.However, Shen Meng always felt that Chu Yi's progress would not be too fast.Exams require more than just memorization of textbook knowledge or the ability to solve difficult problems, but rather a long period of accumulation and hard work.Shen Meng thought that Chu Yi should be able to break through the bottom ten, but he would need more time to go further.
Chu Yi felt a little helpless, realizing that his past grades made people skeptical of his declaration of being number one in the exam.It made sense to be ridiculed.However, when the report card came out, I was afraid that many people would not be able to laugh.
While pondering, the noise in the class suddenly disappeared, and the students quickly entered the reading state.Chu Yi looked up, and sure enough, the homeroom teacher walked in from the doorway, stood on the podium, and swept the class with a majestic gaze.The aura is powerful, not angry from the authority.
Chu Yi also pretended to start reading, although he did very well in the exam, but as a student still have to be low-key.
The homeroom teacher suddenly spoke, "Quiet down, I'm going to read the results."
The class immediately quieted down and looked up at the teacher.
