Chapter 231 Serious People

After lunch, Chen Li forced Yan Xin to chat for more than an hour about the novel "Shading the Sky". It was not until Xiao Yuan came over to see Yan Xin to look at the house together that he let him go.

After Liang Wei put away the dishes, she went to the study room to open the computer that Yan Xin usually used, and prepared to code.

When Chen Li entered the study room, he saw her staring blankly at the computer screen, so he asked in a funny way: "How many words have you written?"

Liang Wei responded awkwardly: "I haven't thought about the title of the book yet."

"The title of the book is not that important. If you really want to write, you can skip the title and write the beginning directly." Chen Lida said.

"I didn't think it through at the beginning." Liang Wei became even more embarrassed.

She wanted to write a novel, but she just felt that writing a novel could bring her closer to Chen Li. It was not that she had a story and wanted to express it.

In fact, there is nothing.

There is no story to tell, no characters to describe, not even a paragraph to express the emotions.

Chen Li persuaded her: "You'd better not think about writing a novel now. Read a few books first and come up with a story before writing."

Many readers read other people's novels and feel that writing novels is quite easy.

The writing is not that good either, I know all the words, the characters, the story and the plot all seem familiar to me.

I feel like I can do it, and I even feel that I can write better than that idiot author.

But when I actually started writing, I realized I didn’t know how to start.

Some will start by imitating other people's novels, and some will disdain imitating other people's novels. The things they write are messy and published on the website, but there are no clicks. They will also have high-brow ideas and think that readers do not understand aesthetics.

Chen Li has been in the industry for such a long time and has seen many such people.

He personally disapproved of Liang Wei writing novels, but if she wanted to try it, he shouldn't pour cold water on her, lest she become an enemy and feel that he was hindering her development.

So he still put forward his own suggestions and hoped that she could write tens of thousands of words. Knowing that this bowl of rice was not that delicious, he gave up.

Liang Wei couldn't think of any other good way. She could only exit from the code page, then log in to a novel website and look for novels in the home page recommendations.

Chen Li looked at it and said to her:

"If you want to find novels that are popular in the market, you don't need to look at the recommendations on the homepage. Those are basically for new books, and they may not really produce results. If you want to find them, just look for novels on the rankings. That's what you will really get.

A novel recognized by the market. Of course, you are here for literature, just pretend I didn’t say it.”

Liang Wei said oh and started looking for books on the ranking list.

She logged into a female novel website, found the top-ranked novel from a certain list, and clicked on it.

Instead of reading it right away, I went back to the bedroom and found a notebook to record my thoughts while reading it.

Chen Li thought to himself: "It's quite similar to that."

He was not so serious when reading novels.

I wasn’t that serious when I was writing novels.

I didn't pay any more attention to it, turned on the computer, and started coding.

"Fights Break the Sphere" has only written over four million words. According to their plan, it will take seven to eight million words to complete, and there is still nearly half of the content to be written.

Yan Xin had high hopes for this book, and told Chen Li that even if the book "Shading the Sky" was written, the income it brought would not be as good as "Fights Break the Sky", so it must be taken seriously.

The benefits this book can bring are so great that even if you don’t have the passion to create, you still have to write it down.

He coded words very quickly, clicking, clicking, dancing with his fingers, and the words were typed out one by one.

Before he knew it, only two or three hours had passed, and he had coded tens of thousands of words.

During this process, Liang Wei was reading the novel and taking notes in her notebook with a pen.

Chen Li finished writing three chapters, stretched his already sore shoulders, and then went to see Liang Wei. He made two pages of notes and only read about ten chapters of a novel.

I couldn't help but laugh: "You look so carefully."

Liang Wei blushed: "You shouldn't look at it like this, right?"

"No," Chen Lida said, "It's good for you to do this. If you keep at it, you'll know how to write a novel in no time."

He didn't read what Liang Wei wrote seriously. He just glanced at it and felt that it was written quite seriously.

Because of his seriousness, he felt that this person might really be able to make a living by writing in the future.

As for whether it will be a hit, frankly speaking, no one can guarantee it.

This thing is not purely a matter of strength, sometimes luck is also very important.

But if you have this serious energy and keep going, you will definitely have no problem eating this bowl of rice.

This actually made him respect Liang Wei more.

At the same time, I muttered in my heart: "If I had such seriousness when studying, how could I not be admitted to a prestigious university?"

——Many people are like this. When they should study, they have no intention of studying and only want to have fun.

After entering society and being hammered by reality, I regretted that I had not studied seriously and missed the best time.

It will be much more difficult to learn something after this than on campus.

Liang Wei is like this, and Chen Li himself is like this.

She looked at the time and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, so she reminded Liang Wei: "Put down what you are doing now. It's getting late. You have to prepare to buy groceries and cook."

Liang Wei groaned, then remembered her identity, closed her laptop and shut down the computer.

While doing this, I asked Chen Li: "How many people should we prepare meals for tonight?"

"Wait a minute, I'll call and ask."

Chen Li said, took out his mobile phone and called Yan Xin: "Do you and Xiao Yuan want to come here for dinner tonight?"

Yan Xin: "I'll be here later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li said to Liang Wei: "Meals for four people."

Liang Wei hummed and got up to buy groceries.

"Wait a minute." Chen Li called her again.

Liang Wei looked at him and didn't understand why he wanted to stop him.

Chen Li took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket and said, "The food money I gave you earlier should be almost used, right? You can take this and buy some delicious food. If you don't have enough money, come back to me."

Liang Wei did not accept the money and said: "There is still more than 400 yuan left for food."

Then he opened the notebook again and showed it to Chen Li:

"This is my account for buying groceries in the past few days. I record everything here. The one thousand yuan you gave me still has more than four hundred that I have not used up. I can still use it for a few days."

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, but he still gave her the few hundred yuan in his hand: "Here you go, just take it. You will need it in the future anyway."

Liang Wei said oh, took the money, and made another note in her notebook.

Chen Li couldn't help but smile and said: "Why do you remember this? It's not like I can't trust you even with a few groceries."

Liang Wei said: "It's better to write it down so that you can have an idea of ​​how much money you spent."

Chen Li had no choice: "Then just remember it."

He knew that the nannies hired by some families would embezzle the money spent on groceries, but he really didn't care about the money. If Liang Wei took some money from it and used it for herself, he would not have any objections.

He even hoped that Liang Wei could get more money, which would be considered a transaction of equal value.

On the contrary, every expense was recorded in the account, which made him feel a little guilty.

After Liang Wei left, he sat on the chair, a little dazed: "This woman... Oh, actually this woman is quite good... It would be great if we met in another setting..."
