Chapter 147 What’s going on?(2/2)

Lin Chaoyang was not interested in the arguments between the two sides. He was more interested in listening when everyone was chatting.

During this period, Li Tuo mentioned the novel "Raizi's Summer" again, and his words were full of praise.

Others also became interested when they heard Li Tuo's praise of the novel.

Not everyone has read Lin Chaoyang's new novel. Some people are not familiar with the novel and think that "The Summer of Lai Zi" is a copy of Western stream-of-consciousness literature. The topic of conversation turned to Faulkner and Wu.

On the body of golf and other famous people.

Today was the occasion for Li Tuo and his family to move into a new house. Lin Chaoyang didn't think about buying anything. He passed by their house downstairs and happened to see a watermelon seller, so he bought two watermelons and carried them upstairs.

Everyone came to congratulate Li Tuo on his housewarming and bought a lot of daily necessities. There is nothing wrong with this in itself.

But now that the summer is hot, Lin Chaoyang's watermelon just makes everyone "carpe diem", which naturally attracts unanimous applause from everyone.

Li Tuo took the watermelon to the corridor water room and held it for a while. After everyone had finished the housewarming party, he took the watermelon back and cut it open with a knife.

The sweet, cool and thirst-quenching watermelon instantly relieved everyone's heat.

After having enough wine and food, everyone sat together and talked about literature and creation. The room was filled with smoke, but no one cared.

The afternoon passed in a flash, and Li Tuo suddenly started to make plans, saying that he wanted to go to Zheng Wanlong's house to eat noodles with soybean paste.

A group of people got up excitedly and walked out the door. They walked along Chaoyangmenwai Street to Zheng Wanlong's house in Dongsisijiao. By the time they finished eating noodles with soy sauce, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. They were so happy

The day passed like this.

Two days later, it was already the end of June.

Tao Yushu and her sisters became very busy. When they got home every day, they read and studied.

There are more students in the Yanda library than before, because the final exam is coming soon.

That afternoon, during the hot summer day, Lin Chaoyang was taking a nap in the library. A note came to him from downstairs, saying that he was called.

He went downstairs to the communication room and answered the phone. The man on the other side claimed to be the editor of the "Worker Daily" and said that their newspaper wanted to reprint "Wreaths Under the Mountains".

These days, it is very common for newspapers and magazines to reprint novels. However, it has been almost a year since "Wreaths Under the Mountain" was published before I thought of reprinting it. The reflex arc is a bit too long.

Although Lin Chaoyang thought so in his heart, he agreed happily.

If the newspaper wants to reprint the novel, he can earn royalties, so why not?

After agreeing to Workers Daily's request to reprint, Lin Chaoyang didn't take the reprinting of the novel seriously, so he put down the phone and went back to work.

The next morning, while he was working, Master Xie from the receptionist's office went to the front desk of the library again and asked Du Rong to pass a small note to him who was on duty in the library upstairs, saying that he had another call for him.

Lin Chaoyang went downstairs and answered the phone. This time it was from a newspaper, but it was Dazhong Daily.

The purpose of their call was the same as that of Workers' Daily, and they also said they wanted to reprint "Wreaths Under the Mountains".

If a newspaper requests to reprint it, Lin Chaoyang will not push out the royalties from the manuscript.

But two newspapers in a row suddenly wanted to reprint "Wreaths Under the Mountains", and this was nearly a year after the novel was published, and the single copy had been sold for several months. He didn't have to think about it to know that there must be something in it.

There is a reason.

Lin Chaoyang thought for a while, called Cui Daoyi, told him about the newspaper's plan to reprint "Wreaths Under the Mountain", and asked: "Do you know what is going on?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because the standalone book of "High Mountain" has been selling so hot recently."

Cui Daoyi's answer made sense, but it did not satisfy Lin Chaoyang.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Chaoyang hung up the phone and decided to call Liang Junshu from Warrior Publishing House again.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Liang Junshu called him back.

"Chaoyang, what do you want from me?"

"There's something I want to ask you..."

Lin Chaoyang told Liang Junshu that two newspapers were reprinting "Wreaths Under the Mountains" one after another.

After listening to what he said, Liang Junshu's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Chaoyang was puzzled by his smile and couldn't help but ask: "Stop laughing, what on earth is going on?"
