After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 182: The Bullshit I Boasted Over the Years

Not going back this weekend.

After get off work in the evening, Qiao Suiqing called home from a public telephone booth on the roadside.

I was in a good mood, but now I feel unhappy again.

Zhou Haoran was waiting for her in the distance, pushing his bicycle and reaching out to her.

Qiao Suiqing walked over, took his hand, his eyes misted over, and he bit his lips tightly.

It seems that this is the only way to suppress the bitterness deep in my heart.

"Okay, be happy."

Zhou Haoran opened his arms and hugged her gently.

Qiao Suiqing said aggrievedly, "Haoran, you said you've grown up, why are you so upset?"

"That's because you're too strong-willed and take on everything on your own."

Zhou Haoran felt that she was also influenced by Tang Shiyi, the producer of the "Family Gossip" program.

The style of a strong, independent woman is indeed very charming and attractive.

But not everyone can do it.

Even Hu Xiaochen is about to change his ways and join the Zhou family, and no longer wants to follow Teacher Tang spiritually.

Qiao Suiqing's figure looked very elegant on the empty street. She raised her head and looked at him. "What can I do?"

"Don't forget, you have a childhood sweetheart!"

Zhou Haoran patted his chest and squinted his eyes.

Qiao Suiqing sighed softly, "Haoran, I know you are capable."

Zhou Haoran pushed the bicycle with one hand and held her hand with the other, and said with a smile: "You know I'm capable, but you don't rely on me? You still want to be strong on your own?"

Qiao Suiqing said quietly, "What else can you do?"

"It's just money."

Zhou Haoran didn't care.

Qiao Suiqing was in a very low mood, but his tone was still gentle, "It's a large sum of money."

"3 yuan."

Zhou Haoran knew what was going on.

She has an older brother named Qiao Suiqiang.

People are out of town.

It's time to get married.

However, unlike in other places and in seaports, the culture of bride price is popular there.

You also need to settle down and buy a house, three golds, and home appliances.

Even if you don't buy a car, it's still a huge expense.

The total amount is 12.

Brother Sui Qiang can’t afford it.

Then we can only make do with it.

The Qiao family favors boys over girls, especially Aunt Qiao, who has been partial to them since childhood. She asked Qiao Suiqing to take out 3 yuan.

"I've been working for over a year and have saved a little over 1 yuan." Qiao Suiqing's eyes were red. "Every month after I get my salary, I give 500 yuan to my family."

Zhou Haoran comforted her, "Okay, my dear sister, don't be unhappy. If you are unhappy, I will be unhappy too."

Qiao Suiqing wiped his eyes and said, "Mom is too partial."

Zhou Haoran pushed the cart with his right hand, and put his left hand around her slender waist, saying with a smile, "Don't you still have me?"

"Come on."

Qiao Suiqing didn't think there was anything he could do.

Zhou Haoran put his arm around her and said confidently, "Everyone is the same. When we were young, we didn't have the right to choose. But now that we've grown up, it's different. We have the right to choose. Even if Auntie doesn't feel sorry for you, I do."

"How could I not know?"

Qiao Suiqing sighed softly.

But what's the use?
When I was little, I had great ideals and a spiritual pursuit that disregarded money. But when I grew up and entered society, I realized that everything was about money.

Zhou Haoran leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I have money."

Qiao Suiqing thought he was trying to cheer her up, and she felt warm in her heart, but she was also helpless. She said tiredly, "Your salary is all with me. How could I not know how much money you have?"

“Salary isn’t even money!”

Zhou Haoran is full of heroic spirit.

Qiao Suiqing hesitated for a moment, but still advised softly, "Haoran, you're excellent and good at everything. But you should be more mature and stop bragging. It's okay with me, but outside... it's not good anyway."

Zhou Haoran said with a smile: "Sister, this 'maturity' you mentioned really lowers my level."

"What's pulling it down?"

Qiao Suiqing didn't understand, but fortunately after chatting for a few minutes, her mood was not as gloomy as before.

She dodged his hug and took his hand.

A certain distance was maintained between the bodies.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, and seeing a mountain is still a mountain. The 'maturity' you mentioned is the second stage. I've long passed that level. In the sales department, who can be more mature than me? An adult's PR performance is too easy. The hard part is the third stage of 'seeing a mountain as a mountain'."

Qiao Suiqing said angrily, "What kind of weird theory is this?"

"Just like acting, the process of going from a green actor to an excellent actor is the process of maturity."

"Ah."

"But the greatest actors in the world are all pursuing the feeling of infancy, abandoning maturity in favor of originality."

"You also know how to act?" Qiao Suiqing said jokingly, with a half-smile on his face. "Don't forget, my sister graduated from a drama academy. I've audited her acting classes."

Zhou Haoran wasn't kidding. "The most mature performance is still a performance, just a disguise of maturity. At my level, it's a return to nature."

Qiao Suiqing pursed his lips and smiled, "Just bragging, huh? You're just like a street thug, and you still have big theories?"

"On the surface, we're all just bragging. In reality, the street thugs' bragging is genuine bragging. As for me, I'm just stating a fact. I disdain to constantly put on a mature facade to please the world."

Zhou Haoran was used to this level in his previous life.

Misunderstanding is the main theme.

Qiao Suiqing thought about his words seriously and tilted his head to look at him. "Then will you please me?"

Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "That's a dimensionality reduction attack, isn't it easy? Look at me in the company, from the director to the head, everyone treats me as a key training target. Even your column's editor-in-chief Lin invited me over, saying that I'm so talented that I'm underemployed in the sales department."

"The editor-in-chief said that?"

Qiao Suiqing's beautiful eyes were full of excitement.

Zhou Haoran said proudly: "That's nothing. If I want to make a move, your teacher Tang can take me down just as easily."

The gloom in Qiao Suiqing's mood was swept away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said in a long tone: "Yeah, my childhood sweetheart is the best, the best workplace expert!"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Sister Qingmei, the maturity you're talking about is just the optimal tolerance for ordinary people to survive in society. It requires cultivating high emotional intelligence and nurturing social skills. Isn't that tiring? Is it fake? Don't hold me to that level. It's too low."

Qiao Suiqing pinched his arm and said angrily, "You are the only one with a high level!"

Zhou Haoran said as a matter of course, "That's just the way it is. Many people, when they become wealthy, buy designer brands to adorn themselves. It's simply because they lack inner charisma, so they need to disguise themselves with designer brands to maintain their appearance. The truly wealthy, on the other hand, dress simply like ordinary people. Look at people like Gates, Jobs, and Ellison; they all talk like scoundrels. They don't care what others think."

"Pfft! Stop it!"

Qiao Suiqing still thought that he was just talking in a slick way to cheer her up.

Zhou Haoran sighed, "Only those at the bottom and top can live out their true selves. Those in the middle are just playing roles in society, which is so tiring. Sister Qingmei, I'd rather you be an innocent girl than pretend to be mature and put yourself in a difficult position. I'll take care of everything!"

"Mr. Zhuma is really good at comforting people. I appreciate it."

Qiao Suiqing could feel his concern and took his arm, feeling very touched.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It's more than just comfort."

"What else?"

"I can do whatever I say!"

……

It’s just money!
The money of Zhongbo Bookstore cannot be touched for now.

The company's money is public account.

In addition to the public account, Zhou Haoran also has a private account!
Dongfang Lang's book-selling project has come to an end!
All the goods have been delivered.

The money has basically arrived.

On Sunday, Zhou Haoran returned to the county town.

Hold a money-sharing meeting for friends!

It was a busy month in total.

The total order volume reached 13.2 copies.

The total amount is 135.4 million yuan!

In addition, more than 100,000 yuan is still in the remittance process and has not yet arrived.

The remaining 122.7 million yuan has arrived!

Take out 20 yuan and pay it to Changxing Publishing House.

He took out another 15 yuan.

Let me share it with my friends today.

We booked a large private room in a big hotel.

There are seven people in total: Zhou Haoran, Dongfang Lang, Wang Wenrui, Li Yang, Guo Zhiyuan, Tian Yueran and Chen Zixuan.

Zhou Haoran doesn't want it.

The remaining six people each received 2 yuan.

The two top scorers in the college entrance examination are not core members.

They didn't make any significant contribution during the book sales process, and when we delivered books to the school, they didn't participate at all. So, give less.

The two of them divided 3 yuan equally.

Then ask Dongfang Lang to send it to them.

Holding two stacks of hundred-dollar bills in their hands, these young people's hands were shaking.

2 yuan!

Many families don’t even have that much income in a year.

After the college entrance examination, I sold books for a month and easily made such a large sum of money.

Zhou Haoran made very valuable suggestions.

It is said that money is a double-edged sword.

Having too little money is not good, and having too much money is not good either.

It is recommended that they return all the money to their families. If they keep the money and spend it lavishly, they will easily fall into misery.

Wang Wenrui laughed and said, "Yes, I'll go home and show it to my mom! I said I could make a lot of money, but he said I was bragging!"

Tian Yueran asked curiously, "Zhou Haoran, didn't you say 10,000 yuan per person at the beginning? How did it become 20,000 yuan?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Isn't this a sign of good business?"

"Why didn't you?"

Tian Yueran's question was a bit offensive.

But we were all classmates and very young, so there was nothing to worry about.

Zhou Haoran said frankly, "For my share, I'll need to coordinate with the publisher and calculate the total cost... I estimate I can make tens of thousands of yuan, definitely more than you."

"Well, you should!"

Tian Yueran thought this was normal, as this business was originally planned by him.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Now the books are sold out, but there are new tasks."

"What mission?"

Tian Yueran's eyes lit up.

Chen Zixuan also became happy, "Haoran, can we still work together?"

Zhou Haoran joked, "Yes, all the boasts I made before haven't come true yet!"

"Great!" Li Yang slapped his thigh. "University doesn't start until September, which is still nearly a month away. It would be best if I could find something else to do."

Zhou Haoran said, "During this summer internship, we've all seen that the market for supplementary teaching materials is huge. High schools across the city are scrambling to buy our products. However, the previous "Top Scholar's Handbook" was too complex and not suitable for general use."

Chen Zixuan looked confused, "Then what?"

Zhou Haoran said seriously, "If we want to truly publish large-scale supplementary teaching materials, we should provide more basic course tutoring. So I've decided to compile a set of college entrance examination secrets! We don't need the top scorer's notes anymore, we have to compile our own!"

"Who? Wait! Who?" Chen Zixuan thought she had misheard. "Who made it up?"

Wang Wenrui's eyes widened. "Compile a book? Zhou Haoran, did I hear you correctly? You said we should compile a set of college entrance examination preparation books? Are you kidding me?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It's just editing a book."

"Are you kidding me?"

Wang Wenrui found it hard to understand.

Everyone was shocked, and Dongfang Lang smiled bitterly.

He had heard Zhou Haoran say this a long time ago.

Until now, he still doesn't know how to compile this teaching aid book.

Relying on some college entrance examination graduates to compile a set of college entrance examination guidance books and sell them to senior high school students across the country, if it is not done well, it will be misleading to the students!
"I'm not kidding, it's true... Don't worry, I have everything arranged."

Zhou Haoran took out a booklet from his briefcase.

It is a printed and bound booklet.

Non-publication.

Everyone present was familiar with this booklet.

This is the "Summary of Key Points" published internally by my alma mater, Yude High School.

This is a booklet compiled by the famous teachers of Yude High School based on the college entrance examination knowledge points summarized and distributed to every senior high school student.

To facilitate their review.

Because it only contains the key points, the content is very limited. All subjects are compiled together in this one volume.

However, all those present were classmates, all from science classes.

The "Key Points Summary" for science subjects is definitely different from that for liberal arts subjects.

Amidst the bewildered looks of the crowd, Zhou Haoran explained, smiling, "If we were asked to compile a book, we certainly wouldn't be able to do it. However, this 'Summary of Key Points' was compiled by a group of exceptional teachers at our school, who are very experienced."

Wang Wenrui suddenly realized and said, "I understand, plagiarism!"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "It's for reference."

"Borrowing..." Chen Zixuan was still a little worried. "If it's borrowing, it's not very safe. What if I get the knowledge wrong..."

Seeing that she was too naive, Zhou Haoran cleared his throat and said, "It is based on the original version of the 'Summary of Key Points', and it is borrowed intactly."

Chen Zixuan was both angry and amused, "That's just plagiarism!"

Dongfang Lang said nonchalantly, "This kind of internal publication doesn't have copyright, so it's just plagiarism."

Zhou Haoran felt that they were not following the train of thought and said, "We are not going to plagiarize it exactly. If we were just plagiarizing, then there would be no need to compile a book. We could just publish and print this manual directly."

"Then what do you mean?"

My friends didn’t understand.

"This manual is full of key points, only key points. What we need to do is to supplement each key point, such as this..."

Zhou Haoran casually opened the page of "Key Points Summary".

"This key point is the law of electromagnetic induction in physics, and it's just one sentence. That's too brief. What we need to do is to complete all the related concepts around this key point. Also, find an exercise and list it below this key point. Solve the exercise. Finally, add a column called 'Top Scorer's Notes' to record your thoughts on solving the problem."

After Zhou Haoran said this, everyone understood.

"Is that so?" Chen Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I think that's fine!"

Tian Yueran said, "Well, this can be done. It's just about finding questions and solving them based on the knowledge points. We all know how to do this. When we read "Key Points Summary", wasn't that the same process?"

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "But there is a prerequisite. You have to find the questions accurately and solve them correctly."

Tian Yueran said readily, "I think it's fine. Each person will be responsible for one subject. There are only a few dozen major knowledge points and a few dozen questions. I estimate that it will be compiled in a few days."

Dongfang Lang said, "After we finish editing, let's exchange and check each other's work."

"Wait a minute." Guo Zhiyuan usually didn't talk much, but he noticed a key problem. "It's easy to find questions and do them, but what format should we use? Should we write them by hand? Or should we print them out on a computer?"

"Uh……"

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone is aware of the complexity of this matter.

Everyone can type.

They can also use computers more skillfully.

But there is a problem.

Typing out science problems on a computer is no easy task; it requires a highly specialized professional. Complex language, symbols, and formulas are difficult to present in a Word document.

Zhou Haoran also took this into consideration and offered his solution: "The problem-solving process must be done purely by hand."

"Handwritten?"

Dongfang Lang was somewhat skeptical about this idea.

"Well, so the handwriting needs to be neat and clear. Once you've written it, you can just scan and copy it. The key points and questions are typed, and the solution steps are handwritten. This book is called 'College Entrance Examination Top Scorer's Handbook,' and the handwritten style feels more authentic and textured."

Zhou Haoran had no choice.

time is tight.

He plans to have this set of books available nationwide in September.

If we ask the students to write it out by hand first and then find a professional publishing editor to type it out on a keyboard, it would be too time-consuming and laborious.

The most complicated part of this process is the problem-solving process.

If this part is purely handwritten.

This can maximize efficiency.

As for this handwriting, will the market not accept it?

Don’t worry about that!

Just seize the gimmick of being the "top scorer in the college entrance examination."

In the past month, the "Top Scorer Handbook" sold by my friends was handwritten by the two top scorers in the college entrance examination, and was highly recognized by all parties.

For the college entrance examination, the appearance of the paper is also very important!

The handwriting of the top scorer in the college entrance examination is also attractive to high school students across the country!
The only worry.

It’s just that the handwriting of my friends is a little different.

But it doesn’t matter.

Don't pursue perfection.

Zhou Haoran asked them to write in neat regular script, and to follow the rules without showing off, so that the overall feeling would be unified.

The "Key Points Summary" is only 200 pages in total.

Brings together the key points of all disciplines.

According to Zhou Haoran's requirements, each key point was expanded in detail, and then a key question was found, answered, and the experience of solving the question was added.

With such additions, the key points of each subject can be extracted and published as a separate volume or book.

The quantity started to run.
