Chapter 6 Be careful

Bassanio and Charlotte are both from Chinese language books.

Gu Lu is a very shrewd guy, because these articles written by junior high school students are too shocking, and this is a preparation for exposure.

In the second volume of the Chinese textbook for the third year of junior high school published by People's Education Press, which is the version Gu Lu is currently studying, there is a text called "The Merchant of Venice (excerpt)", and both of these names come from the text.

The images of the world's four greatest misers are very important test points, which the teacher emphasized many times in class.

Are the memories of the dead starting to attack you?
Charlotte is one of the four misers, but apart from "The Merchant of Venice", this is also a common foreign name, so the modification does not seem out of place.

And the kindest person in the world comes from a miser, which is also an easter egg.

"You type so fast, what are you doing?" The fat boss went out for a walk and returned to the bedroom. He was instantly attracted by the scene of the clacking sound of typing on the keyboard, it was so fast.

"Writing novels." Gu Lu responded.

The fat boss was surprised when he heard this and looked the junior high school student up and down. "You?"

"Where did you post it and what was it called?" the fat boss continued, "I have an account at Qidian."

“I didn’t post this online,” Gu Lu responded.

"Oh, you want to submit to a magazine?" The fat boss lost interest. "Come on, kid."

He encouraged him verbally, saying that one cannot offend anyone when running a business, but in his heart he thought that the junior high school student's goal was too unrealistic, so the fat boss went outside again.

There were only three people who came to play games at noon. They opened two machines and played Devil May Cry and Grand Theft Auto respectively.

The fat boss will provide "plug-ins", which are cheats that can be used to adjust things in Grand Theft Auto.

"R2, R2, L1, L2, left, down, right, up, left, down, right, up, bulletproof vest." The short-haired student held the cheat code and clicked the handle while reciting.

The cheat book was originally a piece of A4 paper, but it would be damaged if it was circulated too many times, so the fat boss was very clever and wrapped it with transparent tape several times, which made the durability of the cheat book epically improved.

I went out to smoke a cigarette. The fat boss's game room was originally a mobile phone repair shop, which was more than 20 square meters. Across the corridor were two bedrooms of more than 10 square meters.

As an old single man, the fat boss vacated another bedroom to place the PS3, and the room where the computer is placed becomes the fat boss's bedroom.

It was boring to stay outside, so the fat boss went back to his bedroom and stood behind Gu Lu like a ghost.

Um... I'm sorry, the spirit behind him shouldn't be that fat. A more appropriate description would be the Soul Land martial spirit Xu Chu.

If Gu Lu was the original author, he would not have been able to write it without someone behind him. This should be a common problem for most online writers.

But now, Gu Lu was not affected at all.

The fat boss leaned forward slightly to see clearly what Gu Lu was currently typing——

[If my compulsions were negative, they would probably send me right away to see a psychiatrist or something, who would do everything in their power to stop my negative behaviors. But what if your compulsions were positive? In our society, people are always happy to trade a cheer and a few compliments for what they need…]
"Huh?" The fat boss was surprised by this sentence, as the content didn't seem like something written by a junior high school student.

The story of "A Kind Heart" tells the story of Charlotte, the kindest person in the world, who actually suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder of kindness. To use the description in the book, when she eats every day, she has to observe whether there are people around her who are hungrier than her, and only dares to eat if there are none.

Charlotte paid a killer to kill her because she couldn't bear such a life.

Unfortunately, the protagonist "I" had received Charlotte's favor in childhood, so I couldn't bring myself to do it... "Done!" Gu Lu sent the short story of more than 3,500 words directly to the "Story Club" email address and published it as soon as it was finished.

As for the pen name... Gu Lu directly used his real name, because once it becomes famous, people will only call you by your pen name, and your real name will not be remembered. To prevent this, he stays consistent.

After doing all this, Gu Lu stretched out his body. He had maintained the same posture for more than forty minutes, and his neck and body were a little stiff.

"Why doesn't Charlotte commit suicide?" The fat boss also reads novels all year round, so he finished reading the three thousand words very quickly.

"...Boss, you almost scared me by speaking so suddenly." Gu Lu said.

"Did you really write this? It feels very well written, a bit like a story from a textbook." The fat boss asked, "Since life is so tiring, why doesn't Charlotte commit suicide?"

"He couldn't even control his thoughts about eating. He wanted to see if there were people who were worse off than him. There were so many people in the world who needed help, so he couldn't commit suicide at all." Gu Lu explained, "There are many things he can't do by himself, so he needs help from others."

"That makes sense," the fat boss patted Gu Lu's shoulder, "I didn't realize you're also a novelist. I'm optimistic about you!"

"Boss, if you think highly of me, then you can charge me a lower price for the computer. I have some stories I want to write." Gu Lu was like the snake, climbing up the pole.

"Two dollars and a half is already very cheap. I charge three dollars for others." The fat boss can provide all kinds of support except money. "So, to show your support for future novelists, two dollars and a half an hour will give you ten more minutes, so you can write more."

"Reliable!" Gu Lu gave a thumbs up, then lowered his head and continued writing.

He wrote for another twenty minutes and finished more than a thousand words. Gu Luke didn't have money to buy an SD card and card reader, nor could he leave it directly on his boss's computer, so he uploaded it directly to the network disk. The most popular one at the moment is Kingsoft Cloud, which has made a free one.

Gu Lu turned off the computer, walked outside, and greeted the fat boss, "Boss, thank you for your ten minutes."

"Hahaha, come back tomorrow at noon." The fat boss said with a chuckle, "By the way, what magazine did you publish this novel in?"

"The storytelling session." said Gu Lu.

"I know about Story Club. I also buy and read Reader and Legends of the Past and Present." The fat boss showed off his extensive knowledge. "Please tell me which issue you are in. I will buy a copy to show my support."

"It's still early. The review process will take two to three weeks, and if it's slow, it will take more than a month," said Gu Lu.

"Then I too - what do I want to play?" When a customer came in, the fat boss immediately went up to greet him.

Gu Lu left the game room and walked slowly towards the school. His original body often did not eat at noon, but Gu Lu was not a "congenitally hard-working saint", so he could not bear it, so he got two steamed buns at the nearby vegetable market.

Instead of eating it immediately, I took it to the classroom.

There is a water dispenser in the classroom. The cost of purified water is deducted from the class fees, so you won’t choke if you drink it with steamed buns.

After careful calculation, the income and expenditure should be balanced. Gu Lu had not learned how to keep accounts for more than 20 years in his previous life, but he learned this skill on the fourth day after traveling through time.

that's nice!

Gu Lu, who worked hard as a typist, spent the next few days in such an uneventful manner. He copied papers at school during the day and went to the fat boss's place at noon. It was not until the third day that ripples appeared.

He was called to the office by Mr. Li, who taught Chinese.
