Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

I joined the crew in December, so it's impossible for him to come back at Christmas. There must be only one person on his birthday.

This is their first birthday after their marriage, and they are still destined to be alone.

She has long been used to being alone, and she doesn't seem to be so sad.

Li Wei hung up the phone and looked at the calendar. Today is November 19th. Time flies so fast.

A few days later, the previous publishing house called and asked Li Wei to attend a signing event.

"The initial sales have been good, and we are also increasing publicity. In order to cooperate again in the future, the publishing house has held signing events in several cities. We also invite anchor Li to take the time to participate."

The people at the publishing house were very sincere, and Li Wei immediately agreed: "Okay, I and the leader ask for instructions, and then make the following arrangements."

Later, Li Wei asked Zhu Heng for instructions on this matter. Zhu Heng first congratulated Li Wei on hearing this.

"It looks like you are really red. This is very good, and you will be rewarded if you pay. I have read your work carefully, it has something to say, and the interpretation is very wonderful. It's not that some books about the collection are just beautifully printed and the pictures are beautiful. There is no introduction to the story behind the collection. You can learn a lot by reading your book."

Faced with the compliments of the leaders, Li Wei smiled and said, "Thank you for your support."

"Well, as long as it doesn't affect the recording of the show, I will not interfere with the work you take in private. If you ask about it, you don't have to worry. I will speak for you."

This is partiality. Li Wei bowed to Zhu Heng and expressed his thanks again.

Next, she was preparing for the signing event. From the end of October to mid-December, she flew to five cities to cooperate with the publishing house. Sometimes she would sit for two hours, signing thousands of names one after another.

She was very excited at the beginning, but after a few games, she almost couldn't lift her hand.

After finishing the signing event, Li Wei attended a dinner party of the publishing house. At the banquet, people from the publishing house made an appointment with Li Wei for the second draft: "Anchor Li is very knowledgeable, and the things he made are meaningful, so Everyone likes to scramble to buy. Taking advantage of the flourishing, we planned a series for anchor Li, including painting and calligraphy, porcelain, jade, and wenwan, each of which will be a series of collections. ,how about it?"

Li smiled and said, "I'm not too familiar with Wenwan."

The person in charge said: "It doesn't matter if you are unfamiliar, as long as your reputation is there. Besides, it is very convenient to find various information online."

Li Wei didn’t want to do something she was not sure about. She carefully considered it and said to the person in charge: “Why not, calligraphy, calligraphy, porcelain, and jade? I’m familiar with this first. For these three categories, if the response is good, I can publish an issue about clothing in the future. I am pretty sure of this."

After the publisher heard about it, he immediately decided: "Okay, just take the advice of anchor Li. Nowadays, with the birth of all kinds of intangible cultural heritage, traditional culture is also reviving, and we should be able to hit the iron sales while the iron is hot. It is said that we can meet anchor Li It is also the luck of our publishing house. We must know that the impact of various electronic media nowadays has dealt a great blow to our paper publishing houses. We have survived by printing some textbooks and teaching supplements. Other classics are at a loss.

"If you really want to make this series, I am afraid it will take a long time. Don't urge me too much. You know that I am slow to produce drafts."

"It's okay to be slower, as long as the quality of the manuscript is guaranteed, we can wait."

Li Wei thought for a while, still put forward his own request: "Then can I discuss the remuneration?"

The publisher quickly said, "Anchor Li, let's discuss the conditions together."

Although the first book he published was a big seller, to be honest, Li Wei didn't make a lot of money. The second book should be managed well.

I made an appointment with the publisher and signed a contract. Her days have become busy again. Recording shows, checking information, and writing manuscripts have become the three most important things in her life.

After getting busy, the time passed quickly. The atmosphere of Christmas in the whole city gradually became stronger. The shops on the street also displayed all kinds of Christmas decorations, and Christmas was also put in the stereo. Music.

It's a pity that this city doesn't snow, and the atmosphere is still a bit worse.

During the rare holiday, Li Wei didn't greedy the bed. She got up early. She cleaned the house and threw the changed clothes into the washing machine. The ones that could not be machine washed were cleaned out and sent to the dry cleaners. Then went to the flower shop outside the community to buy a bunch of flowers.

The clerk recognized Li Wei and helped with the arrangement of the flowers. He planned to make it more beautiful. Li Wei said quickly, "Don't be so troublesome, I will take it back and insert the bottle."

When the clerk heard that he tied it up with newspapers, he also gave an extra bottle of nutrient solution. Li Wei is very grateful to the clerk for their care.

In this bouquet of flowers are Li Wei's favorite eustoma, white roses, yellow ying and a few violets. She inserted it carefully and poured in some nutrient solution, hoping that this time the flowers will bloom longer, so there is no need to replace them on New Year's Day.

After the flowers were arranged, she turned on the computer, made a cup of coffee, and planned to start writing. The sun came out and shot through the French windows into the house. The only sound in the room was the sound of her typing on the keyboard, and the ball of thread was honestly curled up on her lap, closing her eyes leisurely, and did not disturb Li Wei's work.

After writing more than a thousand words, she felt a headache, so she had to rest on the table for a while.

She was in Otaru at this time last year, she was in a coma at this time the year before, and she was in Scotland at this time in 2003. She didn't go anywhere this year.

In the afternoon, Jianbo called: "Weiwei, happy birthday!"

"Thank you. Actually, as soon as I reach 30, I don't think much about birthdays. I always feel older and older, and I feel a little afraid of this day."

Jianbo comforted her on the phone: "It's nothing, as long as you have a good mentality, you can feel young at the age of seventy. Besides, you are really not that old now."

Last year, the second brother gave the watch well on her hand. She looked down at her wrist and asked with concern: "Second brother, how are you?"

"Of course I'm good, you take care of yourself. Is Zhao Qian by your side, let me say a few words to him."

Li Wei said apologetically, "He is not here."

"He won't accompany you on your birthday?"

Li smiled and said, "Work is important. He has already joined the crew. It is said that it will take half a year to shoot."

"Then you still have no one to take care of. It's a pity that I'm far away, and it's impossible to come back to spend your birthday with you. Weiwei, take care of yourself."

"Well, my second brother."

After hanging up the phone, Li Wei had been playing with the watch, but suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. What is she expecting?
