Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 198 The other party refused to sign the contract
"Editor-in-chief, the other party refused to sign the contract." The assistant reported, "I heard that other magazines are also in contact with them."

"Baka!" Ota Shike yelled, "The Chinese have no gratitude at all, and they don't even think about who introduced his article in the first place."

You ignored him yesterday, but today he’s out of your reach, the assistant thought to himself.

"Does he think his articles are really popular in our country?" Ota Shike blushed, "We have the Five Tigers of Fuwenzhi, we are not afraid of anyone!"

"But judging from readers' feedback, Gu Lu's unique style is as popular as Takagi-san and Kitayama-san." The assistant just loves to tell the truth.

Shike Ota looked at his assistant with cold eyes.

"I'm sorry, Editor-in-Chief Ota, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry!" The assistant immediately bowed and apologized.

"...Clean the office before leaving today. It won't be so easy to get away with writing your own letter next time." Ota Shike calmed himself down. He felt like he was going to be pissed off by his assistant.

But assistants are cheap labor, so Shike Ota gave them opportunities again and again.

The New Year finally arrived during the winter vacation, and as soon as it got dark, fireworks could be heard popping outside.

At that time, the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers was not prohibited in the Fog City, so some people stretched out a clothesline, hung a circle of firecrackers on it, and lit them directly.

Why did Gu Lu see it so clearly? Because that's what people upstairs did. He hurried to collect the clothes because he was worried that the clothes hanging outside the window would be ignited by sparks.

"To be honest, you don't know how hot it is unless a spark falls on your foot. I used to oppose [the official ban on fireworks] because I thought it would take away the festive atmosphere."

Gu Lu said, "Now I agree, I agree very much. City people should stop being too outrageous. If you want to set off fireworks, go downstairs and outside. Set them off directly at home. Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

The angry Gu Lu calmed down.

[Zhou Lin: Happy New Year's Eve, happy New Year's Eve, remember to watch the Spring Festival Gala, I heard that Eason Chan and Faye Wong will be there, you must watch it!]

[Li Guyuan: On New Year’s Eve, my grandfather went home this year, and the red envelopes were much smaller this year.]
[Qi Caiwei: I hope we can still sit at the same table in the new semester. Happy New Year. I am happy too.]
[Lu Yi: Happy New Year! I thought there would be no submissions to the campus wall during the New Year holidays, but it turns out there are more than usual.]
[Old Li: Happy New Year, Teacher Xiao Gu. I hope you can write more wonderful works!]

"It's just my popularity." Gu Lu muttered. He was too popular and it was impossible to have a conversation with him. It was impossible to have a conversation with him at all.

There are also editor Han, Xiao Xue, the king of volumes, and Mao Sanning. Gu Lu also has to give gifts to the junior high school teacher, President Jian, Lawyer Wang, reporter Wang from the Pioneer Newspaper, and reporter Ji from Tiantian 630...

I would like to send messages to many elders to congratulate them, especially Lawyer Wang, whom I would like to thank for the legal advice on copyright.

With his phone almost sparking, Gu Lu walked into the living room.

There were three dishes and a soup on the dining table in the living room: beer duck, braised fish, and a cold dish of spicy chicken. The only vegetarian dish was pea soup.

The food was neatly arranged. They were all the dishes that Gu Lu had prepared after working hard all afternoon. There were chicken, duck, fish and meat. It was the first Spring Festival after the time travel, so he couldn't be careless.

He was also hungry, so Gu Lu turned on the TV, temporarily put aside the "fun", and ate the food first. It would not taste so good if it got cold.

Since there weren't many dishes and I was only sitting alone, the small round table seemed spacious.

"Although I don't like eating fish, but there is fish every year (Yu), so I have to have it." Gu Lu ate with relish while keeping his eyes on the Spring Festival Gala.

After eating too much, Gu Lu looked at the table with two-thirds of the food left. He looked bitter, "I don't want to eat leftovers!"

The leftovers from New Year’s Eve can be eaten for several days. The best ones can eat them until the fifth day of the New Year. Gu Lu estimated that he would eat them until the second day.

Thinking of this, Gu Lu murmured, "Next year, next year I must remember to cook less dishes, preferably ones that one person can finish in one go."

I cleaned the table with unsteady steps. The reason I didn't take a break was because of experience. I didn't feel like cleaning up the table right now, and taking a break would make me even more reluctant to move.

After finishing everything, Gu Lu lay on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone, and another lively world immediately appeared.

[Gu Jiayu: Hey, I came to my brother’s place in the afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year. My brother also wants to eat something good today.]
Chatting.

About half an hour later.

"Pong--" Who is that late at night? The key point is that it is New Year's Eve. Gu Lu thought to himself, could it be Gu Jiayu?
Probably not. Even if the heroine wanted to give him a surprise, Bishan was too far away from Sha District, and her stepfather would not be able to drive him there on New Year's Eve.

Gu Lu didn't want someone to come secretly because it was too dangerous late at night.

With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Gu Lu looked out through the peephole and saw an unexpected person.

"Teacher Gao, why are you here?" Gu Lu opened the door.

That’s right, Gao Yixue, the head teacher of Class 10, was standing outside the door with two thermos bottles in her hands.

"I thought that you might not go back to your hometown for the New Year, so I brought you some food," said Teacher Gao.

Her words were rather tactful. In fact, she was just worried that the students would spend New Year's Eve alone and would not be able to eat anything good, so she brought some delicious food.

Unexpectedly, I really didn't expect that while Gu Lu was confused, he was not slow to invite the teacher into the room.

Teacher Gao walked into the living room and looked at the dining table first. Seeing that there was no food, a look of relief flashed across her face.

Fortunately, the food was delivered, otherwise what would a child have to eat on New Year's Eve.

Open two thermal boxes, seven or eight dishes!

It was a rich meal of boiled shrimps, sliced ​​bacon and sausages, stir-fried pork slices with black fungus, a small portion of steamed sea bass, chopped pepper preserved egg, pan-fried lamb chops, stir-fried green beans and crispy meat soup.

Each dish was presented on a plate, with sausages and bacon, for example, neatly arranged slices.

"Have you eaten yet?" Teacher Gao asked first. "When I came to visit you before, you said you usually have supper around 9 o'clock. It should be early now, right?"

The teacher specially brought it to me. If I say I have already eaten it, would it be a waste of his kindness?
Besides, now that I've rested for a while, I feel a little hungry...

Gu Lu is a typical example. No one cared about him when he was a child, so when he grew up he didn't want to let down anyone who cared about him. If his original self had the chance to grow up, he would have been the same.

"I'm going to prepare a bowl of noodles." Gu Lu said.

"We should eat something good on New Year's Eve." Teacher Gao said, "Come, let's eat together."

"I'll go get the dishes." Gu Lu ran into the kitchen to get the dishes, then subconsciously closed the kitchen door.

The meal he had just eaten was still hot. He didn't know who told him that the dishes had to be cooled down before being put in the refrigerator, otherwise the refrigerator would not be able to keep the temperature high. So he put the leftovers on the kitchen counter first.

"These shrimps are delicious. The teacher's children have loved them since they were young." Teacher Gao picked up some food for the students.

"The sea bass is really delicious. It seems my cooking skills haven't deteriorated at all." Teacher Gao said.

To be honest, Mr. Gao's skills are indeed better than Gu Lu's. Practice makes perfect.

Under the illumination of the incandescent light, the two of them feasted heartily, and it really felt like Chinese New Year.

"Is it tasty?"

"Teacher Gao is a chef who was delayed by his career in education."

"Hahaha, that's not an exaggeration. I can only say that my cooking skills are not inferior to my teaching level at all."

Teacher Gao has changed from his cold and taciturn self in school and is quite talkative tonight!
Of course, the harmony was only on the surface. In reality, Gu Lu was very full, and Teacher Gao must have eaten as well. After all, it was New Year's Eve and there were children and family at home.

But Teacher Gao was worried about the students, who would be in a bad mood and have no appetite during the New Year, so he pretended to have a good appetite.

These two people are... interesting.
