Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 73
The popularity of Justice Bao and Catcher in Song Dynasty also set off a craze for criminal investigation, which gave many authors who were interested in criminal investigation the idea of writing criminal investigation novels. Some magazines left advertisements for criminal investigation novels in the essay section of the magazine, and some magazines even began to follow suit.
Many authors knew that with the current popularity of Catcher in Song Dynasty, other similar manuscripts submitted to Wuxia Magazine would be overshadowed by the Catcher in Song Dynasty, so the magazine rarely published a notice.
Catcher in Song Dynasty was the most popular work in martial arts. Whether it was in terms of publicity, cover, or position in the inner pages of Wuxia Magazine, it was undisputedly the best. Director Li wanted to take advantage of the current popularity, to make the Catcher in Song Dynasty another signature masterpiece of martial arts, so that when people see it in the future, they would think of Wuxia, and when they see Wuxia, they would think of Catcher in Song Dynasty. The two would be deeply bound, complement each other, and achieve great things for each other.
It was a win-win situation. Jiang Ning didn’t care how Wuxia Magazine promoted it unless they didn’t delay her manuscript fees. She only submitted manuscripts regularly.
Since there had been no news from the Storytelling Club, she had re-edited the manuscript she had previously sent to the Storytelling Club, changed her name, and sent it to her close friend.
It was already the third novel she sent to the Storytelling Club. During that period, she also sent another novel to Readers and Youth Digest. The rest of the time, she spent almost all of her time reviewing high school textbooks.
She had never been a smart and witty person, and even because of the deep-seated suppression since she was a child, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she belonged to the stupid category, her reactions were not sharp enough, and she lacked quick wit in daily life.
So she had to work harder than ordinary people.
She went to bed on time at 10:30 every night and got up at 5 a.m. to run while memorizing the content she memorized the day before to deepen the impression.
Liberal arts content, whether it was Chinese, history, or politics, was not difficult for her to learn, whether it was memory or understanding. Years of work and study experience within the system allowed her to learn political history with twice the result with half the effort. Not to mention, she was very interested in Chinese, politics, and history. Others think that she was studying these three courses, but she was purely enjoying them.
Especially for history, she found a lot of interesting things and interesting people from history books, which made her unable to help but go to the library to check more historical information, learn it more deeply, and learn about the historical events, understand the political background and significance behind it.
Politics and history had always been connected.
If Jiang Ning thoroughly enjoyed language, politics, and history, then English was a language she had fully mastered, and her main focus was on mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
What she had to admit was that her talent in physics and chemistry was really limited. Even if she could make up for some of the gap through hard work which could make her seem to be better than most of the classmates in the class, only she knew that what she had learned was only the surface of what the teacher taught. It was impossible for her to be as well versed as she was in learning Chinese, politics, and history.
She was a little better at mathematics. She felt that mathematics was difficult. It was also a subject that required her to spend a lot of energy studying to get results.
In her previous life, she studied liberal arts, spent a lot of energy to improve her math and English scores. In the end, she got the best score in the college entrance examination since high school, and became a lucky person in the eyes of others.
She had already learned high school mathematics in her last life. Even after many years, most of the mathematics knowledge she learned in High School had been forgotten and returned to the teacher. But what she had learned could be recalled. When she tried again, it was obvious that it was much easier to learn. In the past, she had to spend a lot of time answering questions and practicing in order to master it. But she was able to master it easily and deepen her understanding.
Jiang Ning understood that she had not become smarter, but that as she relearned high school knowledge, the hidden memories deep in her mind came back bit by bit.
Maybe because of the braised pork that Jiang Ning gave to He Xiaofang that day, or whether the two of them didn’t go home on the weekend, which made her suddenly become close to Jiang Ning.
When He Xiaofang saw Jiang Ning going for a run in the morning, she also got up early and follow along
While running, Jiang Ning went to fetch water, and she also went to fetch water. When Jiang Ning went to fetch vegetables, she asked her to sit, holding her enamel jar, and said actively and enthusiastically, “You sit here, I will go and bring some for you.”
As if she was afraid of Jiang Ning’s rejection, there was a little anxiety in her expression. As she spoke, her thick ponytail flicked half a circle, quite forcefully.
Jiang Ning thought she was quite cute like this, so she smiled.
He Xiaofang thought of the solid braised pork that was pressed into Jiang Ning’s enamel jar that night.
After eating, she wanted to wash Jiang Ning’s rice bowl again.
Jiang Ning avoided her extended hand. She looked quite disappointed and followed Jiang Ning. When the two of them walked to the sink to wash the rice bowl, she asked Jiang Ning sadly, “Jiang Ning, do you not like me?”
Jiang Ning was surprised. “Why do you think so?! I like you so much and think you are so cute.”
“Really?” She, who had been downcast just now, suddenly became more confident, and her eyes were astonishingly bright. All her emotions were clearly expressed on her face.
“Really, I like you very much.” After a pause, Jiang Ning said sincerely, “Besides, you are very beautiful.”
He Xiaofang’s tanned face suddenly turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head shyly. No one ever said she was beautiful. Everyone called her dark. She didn’t believe her but Jiang Ning’s sincere eyes told her that she was really beautiful in her eyes.
She was obviously three years older than Jiang Ning and half a head taller than the girl, but she followed Jiang Ning like a shy little wife, walking to the place where she fetched water, and then hurriedly picked up Jiang Ning’s kettle and said, “There are a lot of people inside, so you wait for me here, and I’ll go in to fetch water.” She said, carrying two hot water bottles, and squeezed in with a bang.
After coming out, Jiang Ning wanted to take the kettle from her hand, but she refused to let her. “It’s okay, I can carry it.” She then picked up two hot water bottles with a squeak, and walked up to the sixth floor in one breath. The tips of the braided hair were flying in happy arcs.
Seeing Jiang Ning holding out a math book to answer questions, she also did math. Seeing Jiang Ning getting out of bed to drink water, she also wanted to drink water.
She moved a lot, and when she moved, the entire upper bunk seemed to tremble. Jiang Ning poured her water.
She held the enamel cup and lowered her head, her face full of shy joy. She couldn’t help but raise her eyes to glance at Jiang Ning. Seeing Jiang Ning studying, she also settled down to read.
On Sunday afternoon, the roommates in dormitory 610 came back one after another.
Sure enough, the two studious people were reading, and they were too embarrassed to disturb them. Thinking of the monthly exams that would take place soon, after putting down their luggage, they gently picked up the books and started reading.
In the evening, Xu Xiuli also came back.
Jiang Ning put down her book, stretched her neck, stood in front of the bed and stretched the rail on the upper bunk, then walked to the balcony and looked down. Under the setting sun, she turned back and smiled at Xu Xiuli, saying, “You’re back.”
Xu Xiuli nodded, took out a bag of spiced broad beans from her bag, handed it to Jiang Ning, and asked her to share it with everyone, “My mother made it, you guys give it a try.”
She spoke softly, always with a hint of coquettishness.
