Chapter 155: , Became a millionaire (Please subscribe!)

Rushing and rushing, when he arrived at Lushan Village, it was already past 6 o'clock, which was dusk.

Mai Sui is not there.

From far away, you can see Sun Manning and Zou Ping sitting on the attic on the second floor chatting. Seeing Li Heng appear, the two soon got up and went down to the first floor.

"Old Zou, did I keep you waiting for a long time?" Li Heng asked apologetically.

Zou Ping waved his hand, "No, I also came over after work, and didn't arrive much earlier than you."

As he said, Zou Ping took out two drafts from his bag and handed them to him: "Finally gave it to you, otherwise I would always be terrified when I took it on me. I have never handled so much money in my life."

Li Heng smiled and took the two drafts.

The amount of one draft shows: 178,200.

Zou Ping explained on the side: "As of today, a total of 1,187,563 copies of "Alive" have been sold. Calculated at 5% royalty, it is exactly this number. You calculate it."

At this point, he added: "The magazine has already paid taxes for you, you can use this money with confidence."

When it comes to money, Li Heng never makes a mistake, so he calculated with a pen in front of Zou Ping.

After calculating, he found that the magazine also gave dozens more, and gave himself a round hundred number.

Next, Li Heng began to check the second draft, the amount is 2,500 yuan.

Zou Ping said: "This is the broadcast fee paid by Beijing Radio for "Alive". Last time, Shanghai Radio asked for 2,500 yuan.

In August, Beijing Radio found the magazine. We couldn't contact you for a while, so we transferred it to the other party according to the price in Shanghai."

Li Heng reached out and shook hands with Zou Ping, greeting enthusiastically: "Old Zou, you have worked hard. You haven't had dinner yet, let's go, let's have a drink today."

Unexpectedly, Zou Ping shook his hand, full of regret: "No, it won't work today, I have a classmate's birthday, I have to catch the scene, next time, next time let's have a good drink."

Actually, he really wanted to drink with Li Heng to further improve his relationship, but there was no way, he couldn't leave.

Hearing this, Li Heng didn't force it, and personally sent the other party to the intersection, "Old Zou, thank you, drive slowly."

"Eh, good, Old Li go back to the room and rest, I'm leaving."

Zou Ping still drove the van, but it was not the new one yesterday, and changed to a relatively old car.

After the car went far, Sun Manning stared at the draft with envy, "Wow! Li Heng, you are really rich. My parents have worked for decades, and their savings are not as much as a fraction of yours."

Li Heng lowered his head and checked the draft again, then said atmospherically: "Don't envy, with our relationship, if you want to eat anything in the future, if you are greedy for anything, tell me, it's enough!"

"Can delicacies from mountains and seas also work?"

"Yes."

"Can sea cucumber and bird's nest also work?"

"Of course, until you are tired of eating."

Although it was a joke, Sun Manning was still full of joy and sent blessings seriously: "Li Heng, congratulations on becoming a great writer, a millionaire! Really amazing!"

"Forget it, don't flatter me. My money is nothing. It's not enough to see in Mai Sui's house."

Li Heng put away the draft and asked: "By the way, where is Mai Sui? Why are you the only one?"

Sun Manning told him: "She has a class meeting later, their dormitory is going to have dinner tonight, can't leave, so of course only I am left."

Li Heng asked: "Then have you had dinner? If not, I will invite you to have a big meal."

Sun Manning touched her round belly: "Oh, big meal, you didn't say it earlier. An hour ago, Mai Sui sent food over with a lunch box. If you came back 30 minutes earlier, you could see her."

Hearing this, Li Heng was too lazy to toss, poured a glass of water, and gnawed on the thousand-layer cake like that.

Seeing him eat so fragrantly, Sun Manning also twisted a few pieces and put them in her mouth, "No chili, always feel like it's missing a taste, not as delicious as ours in Shaodong."

"It's simple to want to eat chili. After military training, I will prepare pots and pans. When I have time, I will open fire and have teeth." Li Heng said.

Sun Manning asked: "Why are you so hungry? Didn't you eat dinner with Xiao Han?"

Li Heng said: "She also has a class meeting, and it's not convenient to squeeze the bus too late, so I rushed back early before work."

"Ah? Left early? Then why did you just get home?" Sun Manning asked.

Li Heng talked about learning piano.

Sun Manning seemed to be listening to the book of heaven, shouting in surprise: "No, my god! You are so old, and you are still learning piano?"

Li Heng glanced at her, "Can't you learn when you are so old? It's only 18."

Sun Manning stared at him like a fool, "You are a great writer now, and you still learn this, what for?"

Li Heng didn't raise his

Sun Manning's mouth hung wide open, and suddenly so many words were stuck in her throat that she couldn't get them out.

After a long while, she finally calmed her mood and said, "Li Heng, how can you be like this? Didn't you just go to see Xiao Han? How can you still be thinking of Song Yu?"

Li Heng couldn't be bothered to argue with her; such things couldn't be explained clearly anyway, so he just used one sentence to shut her up:

"Comrade Manning, before asking this question in the future, please go and check the romantic history of all the literati throughout history, both ancient and modern, and then come discuss this question with me."

Sun Manning was completely dumbfounded.

One literati after another flashed through her mind, and the more literati that flashed by, the more she found herself powerless to lecture Li Heng on anything.

After racking her brains for about ten minutes, she reached this conclusion: "So what you mean is, don't use our ordinary people's view of love to measure you literati; you are all different."

Li Heng gave a thumbs up and grinned, "Smart! Exactly right!"

Although she had already objectively acknowledged the romantic history of literati, Sun Manning still found it hard to accept, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Song Yu? And leave you with nothing to show for your efforts?"

Li Heng raised his head and stared into her eyes: "Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh; would you do that?"

Feeling flustered by his powerful presence, Sun Manning slowly fell into silence.

If he wanted to keep things balanced between Xiao Han, Song Yu, and Chen Zijin, he had to win over Sun Manning and Mai Sui, who were both at Fudan.

As for Mai Sui, she had already implicitly agreed not to interfere with his personal life anymore, and based on his understanding of this girl, he was very reassured.

As for Sun Manning, whew! They had to spend four years together in university; silence was the best outcome.

After tidying up the leftovers, Li Heng asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory, or waiting for me here?"

Sun Manning asked subconsciously, "You're not going back to the dormitory?"

Li Heng looked at his watch: "It's still early. I'm going upstairs to read for a while. If I'm in the mood, I'll probably have to write some drafts too."

Sun Manning was not a person who liked to overthink things, so she immediately said without concealment:

"I especially like your attic; it's very exquisite. I'll go up there and read for a while."

"Alright, let's go up." Li Heng stood up, closed the front door, and took her to the second floor.

"There might be mosquitoes in the attic in this weather. Remember to light a mosquito coil and put it by your feet." Li Heng instructed before entering the study.

"I already knew that. I brought the mosquito coil up before you came back." Sun Manning pointed to a corner of the sofa, where a mosquito coil was indeed placed.

For the rest of the time, Li Heng kept reading the materials and documents Aunt Zhao Jing had left for him in the study.

Later, when inspiration struck, he put down the books and threw himself into writing with abandon.

They say that when you focus on one thing, time often passes the fastest.

And so, unknowingly, the hour hand moved to 10 p. m.

If he hadn't drunk too much water while eating the thousand-layer cake and needed to use the restroom, he could have kept writing and wouldn't have realized it was already so late.

After tidying up his writing materials and putting the drafts in his bag, Li Heng checked the doors and windows of the study and went straight to the attic.

At just one glance, he couldn't help but laugh and cry; Sun Manning really didn't have any inhibitions, as she was actually sprawled out on the wooden floor, fast asleep.

"Manning, wake up! Wake up! Time to go back to the dormitory." Li Heng reached out and shook her shoulder.

"Did I fall asleep?"

"Yeah."

"The night sky is so beautiful, I even saw a shooting star, and I was counting stars the whole time! Damn it! I actually fell asleep. What time is it?"

"A little past 10. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

"No, this young lady is going back to the dormitory."

Saying this, Sun Manning jumped up, and the two locked the door and left Lushan Village.

On the way, Li Heng asked Sun Manning, "Why must you go back to the dormitory tonight?"

Sun Manning said with a sense of ritual: "Everyone in our dormitory will be there today, and I can't be absent."

Li Heng nodded, "That's true, you can't be absent. The first impression on roommates is very important."

Talking all the way, they arrived at Dormitory Building No. 9.

Sun Manning waved her hand: "Li Heng, I'm going up now. You should also rest early. After military training is over, we'll call Mai Sui and get together then."

"Alright."

Li Heng replied, watched her enter the girls' dormitory gate, and then turned around, preparing to head toward Dormitory Building No. 4. Just then, someone behind him called his name.

Turning his head, he discovered it was the girl with broken Chinese, Li Xian. Chen Guifen and Liu Yue were also following beside her.

Liu Yue was wearing a horse-face skirt, which set off her figure perfectly; she looked quite good.

All three girls were carrying bags in their hands; they must have been eating and chatting just before.

Li Xian was wearing a white shirt and playfully wearing a blue striped tie, looking very fashionable. She walked straight across the path toward him, her face full of cute expressions:

"Li Heng, was that your girlfriend just now?"

He had never seen anyone ask so directly, so Li Heng replied: "No, a high school classmate."

Li Xian looked up at the girls' dormitory building No. 9 and said happily: "Oh! I said it didn't look like it. Today's one isn't as pretty as yesterday's."

Li Heng was speechless and didn't want to explain.

After smiling and greeting Chen Guifen and Liu Yue, he asked straight to the point: "Do you have something to find me for?"

Li Xian said: "Nothing major. I followed you for almost 50 meters just to see what that girl looked like."

Li Heng: "."

Chen Guifen: "."

Liu Yue: "."

Following secretly was one thing, but saying it to his face? Damn it! The three of them had truly witnessed what a social butterfly was.

Seeing Li Heng lift his foot to leave, Li Xian took two quick steps to block his path, reached into her bag, took out a rectangular box, and handed it to him:

"Here, this is sunscreen I brought back from abroad. There's military training tomorrow, so take it and use it. Just squeeze a little and apply it evenly on your face and hands before going out. It works very well."

The box was full of English letters, but Li Heng was very familiar with it. Wasn't this L'Oréal, which dominated the global cosmetics market in the 80s and 90s?

This sx model was a new sunscreen product developed by the L'Oréal Group a few years ago, and it was currently selling very well abroad.

In China, you couldn't buy it even if you had money, because it hadn't entered the Chinese market yet.

This item was too valuable, so Li Heng didn't reach out to take it.

Seeing him being cautious, Li Xian shoved the box into his hand and promised full of energy: "Use it with peace of mind. I'm not despicable; I won't use this thing to kidnap you. We are classmates and friends."

At this point, she turned her head toward Chen Guifen and Liu Yue and asked in broken Chinese: "Liu Yue, Guifen, did I use the words 'despicable' and 'kidnap' appropriately?"

Chen Guifen looked at Li Heng, who was about to burst from internal injury, covered her mouth and laughed: "That's right, the meaning is expressed correctly."

Receiving her friends' praise, Li Xian revealed two small canine teeth and looked at Li Heng again:

"You didn't want the chocolate, so just accept this as the tuition fee for teaching me Mandarin. Otherwise, I'll lose face in front of my friends."

Facing the gazes of the three girls, Li Heng pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Alright, then I'll accept it. This thing is indeed useful to me. If you want to learn Mandarin in the future, you can find me anytime."

Not being rejected this time, Li Xian was very happy, as if every cell in her body was blooming. She opened the bag in her hand.

She asked: "Do you dare to eat a hairy egg?"

Li Heng leaned over to take a look, oh, it really was a hairy egg. No wonder he smelled a strange odor. "Didn't you just come back from abroad? Why are you still eating this?"

Li Xian reached out, took one, peeled half of it, and handed it to him, "Guifen told me it smells stinky but tastes fragrant. At first, I wanted to vomit when I smelled it, but after one bite, I couldn't stop. It's addictive!"

Li Heng subconsciously took a step back and waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't eat it. I can't eat this stuff. You eat it yourself."

To show she wasn't lying, Li Xian opened her mouth and bit off half the hairy egg, "What's the matter? You're a big man and you don't dare to eat it? It's really fragrant. Why don't you try a bite? The three of us walked a long way to buy it."

Li Heng glanced at the other two girls and still refused.
