Dragon Clan: No one wants me, Lu Mingfei
Chapter 48 Is the editor who dares not come to block the author called an editor?
When Xia Di took Lu Mingfei, who was exhausted after extra training, back to the community, an unexpected person was squatting downstairs waiting for him.
"You brat, I finally caught you." The man with glasses, wearing a striped shirt and tucking the hem into his trousers, looked at Xia Di who got out of the car, with a sinister smile on his elegant and easy-going face.
Xia Di was shocked: "Damn it, Lao Chen, you are a dog. I have hid here and you can still find me."
The person who came was none other than Xia Dina's editor Lao Chen, who almost came to the door with a knife to press for manuscripts. He was nearly forty years old and still as strong as a calf, and he didn't look like a literary worker at all.
He moved his crouched body, which was a little stiff: "You're kidding, you don't even want to know how well-connected I, Chen Mo, am. There's nothing in this world that I can't find out. You kid can be proud of yourself for being able to hide it for so many days."
"Then why are you coming to me? Tell me in advance whether you have saved the manuscript. You have a life. Take it if you want it."
"Hey, since you said that, I won't be polite." The editor, Old Chen, was delighted when he heard this. He clenched his fists loudly and strode towards Xia Di.
"Damn it, Old Chen, are you serious?"
"Can this be false? I'll take your life!"
Lu Mingfei, who was napping in the back seat, was woken up by the two people's voices. He opened his drowsy eyes and looked outside, only to see Uncle Xia playing a wrestling game with a spectacled uncle who was covered in tendons.
"So energetic." Envying the physical strength of the unscrupulous adult, he picked up his clothes, opened the door and got out of the car, yawned and walked upstairs:
"Uncle, please take your time and play, I'll go back first."
Editor Lao Chen watched Lu Mingfei disappear at the top of the stairs and asked curiously: "Do you have a nephew?"
As he spoke, his grip on Xia Di's arm did not loosen, and he made up his mind to seize the disobedient young man and lock him in a seven-day lock, letting him know how deeply he resented him.
"That's my neighbor's child, let's play with him." From the corner of his eye, Xia Di saw passers-by looking at them with strange eyes, and quickly pushed away Lao Chen, who was studying philosophy in college:
"Okay, don't make people laugh. Why do you want to come to me? If you want a manuscript from me, then there is no need to talk."
Lao Chen is also shameless. Just now he just wanted to catch him and beat him up. Now he has calmed down and talked about business:
"This Friday is the 20th anniversary of our Destination Literary Publishing House. We have called you to take you there, so you have to come with me to the headquarters in Beijing to participate in the 20th anniversary celebration."
"Ah, I'm just making a phone call. Why do you bother me to come over here?" Xia Di scratched her head and felt confused.
You must know that Lao Chen is not only his editor-in-chief, but also the deputy editor-in-chief of the branch of Dingmin Literature Publishing House. He is also considered a leader in this small area. Today, he actually deigned to come over to run errands. Could it be that he is competing for the position of editor-in-chief? Failed and kicked out of the core layer?
Could it be that he was implicated by someone Xia's delaying manuscripts? The purpose of coming here this time was to take him to the headquarters in Beijing to face the trial of the people. Only when he surrenders and hands over the manuscripts and can he write the book in peace can he be considered a meritorious official. Atonement?
Old Chen glanced at him sideways: "You will go if I call?"
"Of course not." Xia Di was a little confused. It would be so much fun to bully children here. Would it be a shame to go all the way with a group of strangers and treat each other with false courtesy?
He could remember that his character was introverted, shy, and a little social-phobic. If he turned into a social-terrorist out of character, people would have to suspect that he had super-evolved Jiangbeimon.
Old Chen clapped his hands: "Then it's over, I'm here just to personally escort you... and accompany you to the capital in person!"
"Do you want to say escort?" Xia Di looked suspicious.
"You heard wrong." Lao Chen fully demonstrated what it means to be a cultured person.
After all, Jiang is still old and has rough skin and thick flesh. Lao Chen easily took care of Xia Di, who was pretending to be young, and followed him upstairs.
At this time, Lu Mingfei had just poured the washing powder and was about to wash the clothes with the washboard when he heard someone knocking on the door. His cousin Lu Mingze was as deaf as a deaf person (listening to MP3 with headphones). ) only focused on reading books about sages (reading comics there), so he had no choice but to open the door himself:
"Hey, uncle, have you finished the fight?"
The person standing outside the door was naturally Xia Di. Old Chen had already squatted at the door of the house and running away was a bit unreasonable, so he could only bid farewell to Lu Mingfei temporarily.
His expression was heavy, and his tone was a little sad about life and death: "Mingfei, uncle, I have to leave."
"Ah, uncle, where are you going?" Lu Mingfei saw Uncle Xia winking at him, and quickly matched his expression with reluctance, his eyes like an abandoned deer:
"The summer training camp has just started, and I haven't completed my gorgeous transformation yet. My senior brother and I can't live without you, uncle!"
"Oh, uncle, I don't want to leave either, but the end is right there, and they insist on me rushing!" Master Xia complained in a low voice about the bad behavior of a man named Chen behind him:
"See, that man with glasses is here to arrest me and take me to the capital."
"Then are you in danger? How long will you be leaving? Will you come back?"
"Don't worry, I'll be back after attending the event. It won't take long."
"Then you go early and come back early, remember to bring your clothes."
The two had a sincere conversation, and those who didn't know it thought that whose child was bidding farewell to his old father who was on a business trip. It's a pity that the acting was a bit exaggerated, otherwise he could really have deceived Chen.
There is no way, Lu Mingfei's acting skills are still a bit immature after all, and he is the first to break the rules and laugh.
Xia Di shook her head helplessly: "You can't neglect your training these days while I'm away. I'll ask your senior brother Chu to come pick you up every morning. Don't even think about being lazy."
Classmate Xiaolu's eyes moved when he heard this. Did Uncle Xia's absence mean that his difficult task could be temporarily put to an end? God knows how much effort he had to put in to get Brother Bingshan to speak.
However, before he could feel secretly happy, Xia Di spoke again: "In order to prevent you from cheating and failing to complete the task, I have specially prepared a good treasure for you."
As he spoke, he took out a black dual-display multi-function special watch from his pocket.
The appearance of this watch is unique and mysterious. It does not have any logo decoration, but it exudes a high-end feeling called "it is valuable at first glance".
The dial is deep black with exquisite silver-gray scales. The dark gold hands rotate silently, and the bottom is more intuitive for hours, minutes, seconds and date.
The edges of the dial are uniquely designed, smooth and angular, and the strap is made of special black rubber, which is soft and extremely strong.
Xia Di put it on Lu Mingfei's left wrist and pointed to one of the buttons: "This thing is an electronic watch with a recording function. Press this button to record. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Mingfei blinked, a little embarrassed: "Uncle, aren't you invading other people's privacy? If Senior Brother Chu accidentally reveals some family secrets or business secrets, wouldn't I become a criminal?"
As soon as he spoke, he was patted on the head: "Stop interrupting and listen honestly."
"This thing also has one-button alarm and positioning functions. If you encounter any danger, just press this button..." Xia Di explained to him how to use the watch. Obviously, he didn't have an instruction manual, otherwise there would be no need to waste time here.
After everything was explained, he used his index finger to draw a lightning bolt on the palm of Lu Mingfei's right hand, and then nodded with satisfaction:
"Go do your laundry, Philly Potter."
