Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan and Fang Hui took advantage of their summer vacation to pass their driver's license exams.

In fact, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to get a driver's license.

Because most people learn to drive, there are basically a few people, or even dozens of people, per car. Take turns to study in the car at different times, and you may not be able to drive for an hour a day.

Therefore, there are only a few items in subject two, and they have to be practiced repeatedly for twenty or thirty days.

But Xiang Nan was willing to spend money. He and Fang Hui shared a car and practiced from morning to night, and they were basically proficient in it within a week.

The same goes for subject three. For others, there are more than a dozen people per car, and they practice up to three or four times a day.

Xiang Nan is different. He trains a car to the extreme and runs it at least thirty or forty times. And with repeated practice, even Fang Hui, no matter how stupid he is, can learn it.

Besides, Fang Hui wasn't stupid at all, just a little timid.

After getting his driver's license, Xiang Nan immediately bought a Wrangler, planning to take Fang Hui on a trip around the capital when he had time. For example, Xishan, Great Wall, Qingling Tombs, etc.

If the vacation is longer, you can also go to Bashang Grassland, Summer Resort, Beidaihe, etc., which are all very good choices.

Fang Hui didn’t buy a car.

In fact, after her driver's license was issued, her mother wanted to buy it for her. However, she was afraid that driving on the road would cause an accident if her skills were not good, so she decided not to do so.

"The more you are afraid of driving, the more you have to drive." Xiang Nan advised, "It's like learning to swim. The less you know how to swim, the more you have to get into the water. Otherwise, how can you swim well? If you are afraid of driving, the more you have to drive. As time goes by, Once you get used to it, you will become more courageous.

Besides, don't be afraid of accidents. If you drive well and make no mistakes, it will be someone else's responsibility if something goes wrong. And the insurance company will cover the compensation, so what are you afraid of? "

Although what Xiang Nan said made sense, Fang Hui still had no plans to buy a car in the short term.

But every weekend, Xiang Nan would drive her to travel. If there is a similar situation on the road, I will switch to her to drive in order to accumulate experience.

Jia Mo and Zhao Ye would occasionally join them.

…

In the autumn of 2002, Xiang Nan released his new work "Lord of Mysteries: Clown".

With the popularity of the fantasy novel "Harry Potter" and the popularity of fantasy movies such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", fantasy themes have gradually become popular.

The market for such novels has thus expanded. For example, Jiangnan, Jin Hezai, etc. wrote the "Jiuzhou" series; Cang Yue wrote "Starry Sky War"; "Sou Shen Ji" by Wild Fox under the Tree, etc.

"Lord of Mysteries" is the masterpiece of the diving squid, and it shocked the Internet literary circle after its release. The story, characters, and settings are all eye-catching. It can be said to be the pinnacle of the development of online literature in the past 20 years.

Therefore, when this book was released, it immediately caused an uproar among young readers and received a huge response.

However, after all, this type of subject matter has just begun to become popular, and people's acceptance is not very good, so sales are not large. Compared with "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" released at the beginning of the year, sales have shrunk by nearly half.

This was expected by Xiang Nan.

First of all, "Lord of Mysteries" is a slow-burning work. The beginning of the story is a bit bland and not amazing.

Although the male protagonist Klein is a time traveler, he doesn't have many golden fingers, so he still needs to grow up a little bit, and he lacks a sense of satisfaction.

In comparison, Xiang Shaolong in "Looking for Qin" can fight and tell stories. With his extraordinary skills and ideas far beyond contemporary times, he galloped around in the late Warring States Period.

In "The Chronicles of Narnia", several children who went to the countryside to escape the scourge of war, after traveling through the wardrobe, became the much-anticipated savior...

Secondly, the setting of "Lord of Mysteries" is relatively complex, with so many true gods, monsters, rituals, families, magic... it is also difficult for readers to accept it.

In comparison, the settings of other novels are much simpler and easier for readers to accept.

The sales of "Lord of Mysteries" were not as good as expected, which caused some criticism from the publisher.

The editor directly suggested that Xiang Nan stop trying to write this kind of Western fantasy and go back to the old path of youth pain literature, where sales are most guaranteed.

But Xiang Nan knows the value of "Lord of Mysteries", especially its setting, which is likely to inspire a large number of Western fantasy writers. Just like "The Misty Journey" back then, which laid the foundation for cultivation novels.

That's why he still chose to publish "Lord of Mysteries" despite knowing that the transformation would affect sales. In this way, when online novels become popular in the future, maybe he will be revered as the founder of Chinese-Earth and Western-style fantasy novels.

This honor is much better than simply earning millions. After all, he no longer means making money by writing novels. Today, he makes even more money from the stock market.

…

In the spring of 2003, Xiang Nan released the youth pain novel "To Our Mortal Youth" to recover from the decline in popularity caused by the poor sales of "Lord of the Mystery".

At the same time, Xiang Nan also took 10,000 yuan to Tang Haibing.

It turns out that their childhood friends Sun Tao and Yang Qing accidentally killed someone when they were together.

Sun Tao wanted to take the opportunity to propose to Yang Qing, but Yang Qing did not want to marry Sun Tao.

The reason is that after graduating from vocational school, Sun Tao has never had a stable job. He wanders around all day doing nothing. Not to mention buying a house or a car, even supporting himself is a problem.

She didn't want her children to live in such a family, nor did she want to live with such a worthless man for the rest of her life. So she wanted to abort the child.

Unfortunately, she, Sun Tao, Tang Haibing, and Wu Tingting together couldn't even raise the money for an abortion.

After all, the four of them are the same, none of them have any serious jobs, they all just like to have fun. And I couldn't tell my family about this matter, so in the end I had to ask Xiang Nan for help.

After Xiang Nan received the call, he drove over and delivered 10,000 yuan without saying a word. Then he took Yang Qing to the hospital and sent him home after the incident.

"Chen Xun, thank you." After going out, Tang Haibing said to Xiang Nan.

"If you have anything to thank, we are all brothers. Your business is my business." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

Although he and Tang Haibing had drifted apart for a long time, and they had not seen each other very often in recent years. However, when they were in trouble, he was still willing to lend a helping hand.

"Chen Xun, what I said before was inappropriate, and I apologize to you." Tang Haibing said again.

He said before that Xiang Nan would be implicated by Fang Hui and he didn't know how he would die. Now it seems that Xiang Nan's life is much better than that of them all.

"Hey, we're all buddies. To say this is to be a heretic. I've never taken this matter to heart." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "But Hai Bing, you can't act like this anymore. You should still do something about yourself." A career. If nothing else, even if you work or open a shop, you can still make a living."

Tang Haibing nodded.

Today, all four of them have graduated more than two years ago. At the critical moment, even a thousand yuan could not be raised. What kind of life is this?

It's no wonder that Yang Qing wants to break up with Sun Tao, because she really can't see a way out.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I don't have anything else, and I still have some spare money." Xiang Nan said again.

"Thanks, buddy." Tang Haibing said gratefully.
