Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 346 The disease is yours
"The pen name is 'Escape at Dusk'. Why are you asking this, brother? Have you read it too?" Xu Ling asked casually.

"What's the name of the novel?" Xu Wen interrupted her.

"'The Disease is You', what's wrong?" Xu Ling seemed to have noticed something wrong with her brother.

Normally when he heard her talking about the plot of a novel he would just respond with a perfunctory “hmm hmm”, but this time she actually took the initiative to ask questions.

She asked in a surprised tone: "You are not interested in this kind of novel, are you? Are you influenced by that person named Chen Tianbao?"

Xu Wen did not answer.

His mind raced, trying to sort out his thoughts.

"Escape at dusk", Xia Ning seemed to mention the word "escape" to him often when she was with him.

She always said she wanted to run away.

Sunset and the Milky Way, don’t be in your dreams.

The title of the book, "The Disease is You," seems to be an accurate summary of their twisted relationship.

It is also a summary of Xia Ning's current state
Because of his appearance, she gradually became paranoid.

What a coincidence.

No, this can no longer be called a coincidence.

"Brother? Are you okay?" Xu Ling's voice was filled with worry.

"It's okay. I'll transfer the money to you later. Is there anything else?" Xu Wen took a deep breath.

"Gone? Are you really okay? Your voice sounds weird." Xu Ling hesitated.

Although she never said it, she also knew that her brother was under a lot of pressure.

It's simply not something ordinary people can understand.

"I'm just a little tired. I have a lot of work to deal with recently." Xu Wen forced a smile.

"Oh, then you should make sure you get enough rest." Xu Ling didn't seem to believe it, but didn't ask any more questions.

Before hanging up the phone, she said one last time: "Bye!"

Xu Wen put down the phone.

He stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.

If this novel was really written by Xia Ning, does it mean that her condition has almost recovered and she can calmly accept what happened during that period?

And we will return to Linjiang soon.

This incident is so coincidental that it no longer seems like a coincidence.

But Xu Wen still couldn't believe that this book was written by Xia Ning.

Because in his opinion, how could such a proud person like her show her darkest side to the whole world?
But if it wasn't her, how could someone write a story that was so similar to their experience? Even the details were exactly the same.

"Squad leader?" Lan Qiusheng's voice interrupted his thoughts again.

She took a few steps closer and asked with concern: "You don't look well, do you need to rest?"

Only then did Xu Wen realize his own gaffe.

He shook his head and forced himself back to reality: "No, what's new on Weibo?"

Lan Qiusheng handed over the tablet and said, "In addition to the topic of predicting the topic, some people are now digging deeper into your educational philosophy and teaching methods. Several mainstream media have sent you interview invitations."

Xu Wen glanced at the screen and nodded: "Arrange a time and select the two most influential companies to be interviewed."

"Okay." Lan Qiusheng wrote it down and added, "Also, Principal Chen said he wants to have dinner with you tonight to celebrate this success."

"Tell him to do it another day. I want to go back and rest early today." Xu Wen rubbed his temple.

Lan Qiu Sheng looked at him with some surprise.

In her impression, Xu Wen almost never refuses work-related matters.

"I understand. Do you need me to call a taxi for you?" She didn't ask any more questions in the end.

If he had something to say, she would listen.

If he didn't want to talk, she would just stay by his side quietly and not do anything unnecessary.

Just like she said on the rooftop that night.

"No need, I'll drive myself. Feel free to contact me if you need anything." Xu Wen picked up his coat.

When he walked out of the office, the employees who were working outside greeted him.

Xu Wen forced himself to put on a professional smile, responded with a few simple words and left in a hurry.

His mind was now filled with the novel that Xu Ling mentioned and the lingering possibility.

Xia Ning is coming back, and she is using this method to convey a message to him.

After getting into the car, Xu Wen did not start the engine immediately.

He took out his cell phone and typed "The name of the disease that escaped at dusk is you" into the search engine.

In an instant, a lot of relevant information popped up.

"The Disease is Yours" has exceeded 10 million hits on Green River Literature City!
The copyright of the yandere masterpiece "The Disease Name Is You" was sold at a sky-high price!
Exclusive interview with "Escape at Sunset": The essence of love is possession.

The first two were "UC-style fake news" and had little reference value, but the last interview caught his attention.

Xu Wen clicked on an interview report and quickly browsed the content.

The article mentioned that the author "Escape at Dusk" is a mysterious young woman who has never appeared in public and all interviews were conducted online.

When asked about the inspiration for "The Name of the Disease Is You", the author replied: "This story is based on my real experience. When you love someone deeply but find that you can never really have him, you will understand the choice of the heroine in my novel."

This article also mentioned.

Green River’s headquarters is in Beijing, and the author of “The Disease Name Is You” is also in Beijing. The editor even visited the author in person to discuss the plot.

Real experience?

Xu Wen is now completely certain that the author of this book is Xia Ning.

He didn't believe that there could be such coincidences in the world, everything was just so coincidental.

He continued reading. At the end of the interview, the reporter asked the author if he had anything to say to someone special. The answer was just one simple sentence: "I've been waiting for you, too."

Xu Wen turned off the phone screen.

Now he was almost certain that the one who "escaped at dusk" was Xia Ning.

And this book is a signal she carefully designed, a call that only means to him.

She came back, and told him in this way that she had not forgotten him, and she did not want to let him go.

Xu Wen took a deep breath and started the car.

He didn't understand why Xia Ning used this form, waiting for him to discover it, instead of sending him a message directly?
What if he didn't notice the novel?
Xu Wen held the steering wheel with one hand and operated his mobile phone with the other.

He sent a text message to Xia Ning: "Did you write "The Disease Is You"? "

A long time passed.

This text message, like the previous ones, fell on deaf ears.

The only contact Xia Ning had with him during this period was the phone call in Ningzhou.

There was no contact after that.

He also didn't know what Xia Ning's current condition was or what her illness was.

But no matter what, one fact is about to happen.

That means Xia Ning is coming back.

Xu Wen decided to go to the book signing event of "The Disease Name is You" with his sister, so that all the mysteries can be solved at that time. As the temperature gradually rises, Shancheng finally enters the final testing stage.

In the absence of crowdsourced deliverymen in the early stage, Xu Wen invested a lot of money to set up special delivery services in various cities.

There are not many deliverymen, and their main service groups are white-collar workers and college students.

Xu Wen even came to the school in person to promote Shancheng.

The first place he needed to conquer was his alma mater, Linjiang University.

He stood at the university gate, the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves of the sycamore trees onto him, creating mottled light and shadows.

He took a deep breath, and the familiar campus atmosphere finally reminded him that he was still a "college student".

But soon, the sound of footsteps behind him brought him back to reality.

"Squad leader, the materials are ready." Lan Qiu Sheng walked over with a stack of flyers, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

In addition to them, there were many young college students following behind.

He found these people from Xiaozhi Search Questions.

The college students who once sat in the classroom and helped him record analysis of questions have now become ready-made field promoters.

Many of these people come from poor families, but they all come here when they hear that there is money to be made.

Xu Wen nodded, took the custom plastic bag and glanced at it.

It is printed with the slogan "Fancheng takeaway makes life more convenient" and a simple QR code for downloading the APP.

"Are the other sales teams in place?" Xu Wen asked, his eyes sweeping over the students coming and going on campus.

"Director Li helped me contact the Student Union and the leaders of various clubs, and they agreed to help with the promotion. In addition, according to your suggestion, we mainly recruited students with average economic conditions but good interpersonal relationships as campus ambassadors. We will give them a commission of 5 yuan for every successful download recommendation." Lan Qiu Sheng opened the tablet computer and began to report on his work.

Xu Wen nodded silently.

This strategy he borrowed from his experience before his rebirth.

College students have strong communication abilities, but they trust recommendations from their peers more.

Instead of spending a lot of money on advertising, it is better to let students spread the word spontaneously driven by interests.

"Very good. Today we will focus on promoting it in the cafeteria and dormitory areas, and then go to the teaching building tomorrow." Xu Wen adjusted the cuffs of his suit.

When everyone first started promoting the software, they encountered considerable obstacles.

At first, students passing by were skeptical about this suddenly emerging food delivery platform.

"Someone comes to our school to promote again? I don't want to fill in a lot of information again, do I? After I filled it out last time, I received harassing phone calls every day." A boy wearing glasses asked vigilantly.

"First order free? There's no such good thing. It must be a scam." His companion echoed.

Xu Wen did not rush to defend himself, but stepped forward and said gently: "Hello, classmate. I am Xu Wen, a student of Linjiang University, Class of 2011."

The man with glasses was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Xu Wen? Is that the teacher Xu who predicted the math questions in the college entrance examination? I've heard that you are a student in our school."

Compared with his entrepreneurial projects, his reputation for "predicting the topics" is now more popular among students.

After all, these people may not necessarily understand business, but they must have experienced the college entrance examination and know how difficult it is to predict the questions.

Xu Wen nodded: "It's me. Shancheng is my new project, which focuses on providing affordable and convenient food delivery services for college students. You can download it first and uninstall it at any time if you are not satisfied."

His appearance immediately caused a small sensation.

Soon, more and more students gathered around, some asked for autographs, and some girls came up to ask for contact information.

Many people also downloaded the Shancheng APP out of curiosity.

"Teacher Xu, I'm a sophomore in the Economics Department. Can I take a photo with you?" a girl with a ponytail asked timidly.

This girl seemed to be older than him, but she called him "teacher" with a look of admiration on her face.

Xu Wen silently felt that the identity of "teacher" was really useful everywhere.

No wonder a certain Mr. Ma asks people to call him Teacher Ma every day and even runs his own university.

Xu Wen smiled and agreed to the request.

He knew that this kind of personality cult, although superficial, was the most effective catalyst in the early stages of commercial promotion.

Just like the truth that those Internet giants knew well before his rebirth.

People are more willing to trust a famous founder.

At noon, Xu Wen's cell phone vibrated.

It was a message from Gu Xingruo: "Will you come home for dinner tonight? We have sweet and sour pork ribs tonight."

A warm smile appeared on Xu Wen's face.

Since living together with Gu Xingruo, the once deserted villa finally felt like home.

He quickly replied: “Okay, I’ll go back after the promotion is over.”

As soon as I put down my phone, another message popped up.

This time it was from Xu Ling: "Brother! The author of "The Disease Is Yours" replied to fans and said that the book signing event date has been moved forward! It's changed to next week! Don't forget to transfer the money you promised me!"

Xu Wen's fingers froze on the screen.

Ever since he learned yesterday that the novel might have been written by Xia Ning, he has been in a strange state of tension.

On the one hand, he hoped it was just a coincidence; on the other hand, he was secretly looking forward to meeting Xia Ning again, fearing that all this was just a coincidence.

"Squad leader? Is there any problem?" Lan Qiu Sheng noticed that he was distracted.

Xu Wen shook his head: "It's okay, continue working."

The promotion in the afternoon went more smoothly than in the morning.

Thanks to the word-of-mouth spread in the morning, the number of downloads of the Shancheng APP has grown exponentially.

Xu Wen stood aside and observed the work of the student ambassadors, but Xia Ning's shadow kept appearing in his mind.

The girl who once loved him deeply but eventually imprisoned him in the basement; the girl who suffered a mental breakdown because of him and had to go to the capital for treatment.

How is she now? Why did she write such a novel? Has she recovered or is her condition getting worse?

"Old Xu!" Song Jie's voice interrupted Xu Wen's thoughts.

He turned around and saw his roommate running over breathlessly: "I heard that you went back to school, so I took a special leave to come and see you!"

Xu Wen smiled and high-fived him: "Long time no see, Brother Jie."

Song Jie is still in the studio at Linjiang University, responsible for maintaining Xiaozhi Search.

It’s a pity that Xu Wen hasn’t been back here for a long time.

All the work here is handled by Lan Qiu Sheng.

He looked at the publicity team behind Xu Wen and whistled: "Amazing! You have launched a new project so quickly. I thought we would not be able to see it until next year."

"You're just forcing someone to do something unmanageable." Xu Wen waved his hand and said.

"Just be humble." Song Jie patted his shoulder.

Then he suddenly lowered his voice and came closer: "By the way, how are you and Gu Xingruo? Are you adapting to living together?"

The other roommates all knew that Xu Wen didn't often come back to the dormitory because he went out to live with his girlfriend.

Everyone was so envious.

It's a pity that I don't have the same looks or money as her, I can only watch and envy her.

Xu Wen nodded: "Very good."

Song Jie gossiped quietly, "I still remember your first girlfriend. She came to see you when school started. I heard that she is not in school now."
