Chapter 8: Inheriting the Family Business of Selling Vegetables

  After searching with "Easy Search", Zhou Fan got what he wanted.

  The literary works of the Earth Federation are mostly the same as those of Zhou Fan's previous life on that earth, but with some subtle differences. Especially after the end of World War II, the world entered a federal management regime. After hundreds of years of development, the main language is now Chinese. However, due to the emergence of the Earth Federation, the direction of global literary development has become complex and diverse.

  Emerging online literature has been gradually accepted by the market after decades of development. Whether writing popular works or serious literary works, many authors will adopt internet updates. A small number of top authors may take publishing first for the sake of profits from paper books and so on.

  Generally speaking, as long as there are good works, they will be spread more widely under the promotion of online media.

  After roughly understanding the direction, Zhou Fan then shifted his gaze to various major websites.

  After taking a look at the current mainstream internet literature platforms in the world, Zhou Fan felt somewhat depressed.

  Among these platforms, they mainly categorize into urban, fantasy, supernatural, historical, competitive, gaming, science fiction... even pure literature. However, there is no category for Xian Xia and Wuxia. This leaves a belly full of Jin Yong, a big pile of Xian Xia's Zhou Fan, seemingly not knowing where to publish.

  After some thought, Zhou Fan added a PP of an editor from the "Tian Kong Wang" website.

  This website is quite popular, and it's said that top authors can earn tens of millions of RMB per year.

  Seeing such news, Zhou Fan couldn't help but think of his previous life as a bestselling author, Tang Jiasan and Tudou, who didn't each earn tens of millions in manuscript fees?

  Before long, the website editor received Zhou Fan's PP application.

  "Hello, I want to write a book on your website."

  This is Zhou Fan's first sentence.

  "Welcome, welcome."

  An editor named "Wuyue" immediately replied.

  "Only, I'd like to ask, can you open a martial arts class here?"

  "Martial arts?"

  The other party sent over several question marks.

  "What is martial arts?"

  Zhou Fan knew that this world had no martial arts or immortal works, of course, a few thousand years ago there were some about this aspect. But at that time it was rare and did not create a genre. At most, there were myths like Journey to the West.

  The other party naturally doesn't understand this new kind of martial arts.

  "Martial arts stories are like that, where loyalty is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold, and one promise can lead to killing people."

  Zhou Fan explained.

  "This is an explanation," Wu Yue seemed to understand and then replied, "Oh, this is history, you can put it in the history books."

  "My god, how can martial arts be history."

  Zhou Fan almost went crazy, then explained a few more sentences, seeing that the other party did not understand, Zhou Fan stopped talking.

  It's really a very difficult thing to let a friend who has never been exposed to martial arts know what martial arts are.

  It seems that I still have a long way to go.

  But I will try hard.

  It was already very late, and Zhou Fan had fallen asleep.

  The next morning, as soon as Zhou Fan entered the classroom, Chen Su had already sat down at her desk.

  "Beautiful girl, good morning."

  After a while, Chen Su had gotten used to Zhou Fan's casual way of greeting and replied with a simple "Good morning."

  "By the way, this is my math notes from junior high school. I finally found it after a long time searching for it. You take it and review it. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

  "Ah, you've really come."

  Seeing this somewhat yellowed notebook in front of him, Zhou Fan's heart felt an indescribable emotion.

  The little girl is really something, she says it's windy and rainy, why bother, making herself embarrassed to refuse.

  "Alright, okay."

  With a wry smile, Zhou Fan took over the notebook and, feeling obligated to take a look, flipped through a few pages, pretending to be carefully reading.

  Zhou Fan was seen seriously looking at his notes, Chen Su smiled sweetly and went to review by herself. However, when Chen Su turned back again, she found that Zhou Fan had already closed his notes and started reading those messy books that he didn't even know where they came from.

  "Zhou Fan, didn't you see?"

  Chen Su's face looked a bit unsightly, he had just helped him with great difficulty, but he didn't cherish it at all.

  "Actually..."

  Zhou Fan rubbed his forehead, thinking of a way to avoid being disturbed by this kind-hearted girl again.

  "To be honest with you, I don't really want to go to college, so it doesn't matter whether I take a look or not."

  Two hands together, Zhou Fan directly conceded defeat.

  "Oh, you're not going to college? Are you planning on selling vegetables?"

  Zhou Fan's parents were vegetable vendors, although Zhou Fan never mentioned it himself, but others did. Moreover, it was precisely because Chen Su knew that Zhou Fan's family was ordinary that she wanted to help him especially. After all, Chen Su's own family wasn't wealthy either. In her mind, the only way for a poor person's child to become someone important was through education. And getting an education by attending university was the best choice.

  Now hearing Zhou Fan say he doesn't want to take the university entrance exam, Chen Su is even more worried.

  What's being sold?

  Zhou Fan had never thought of selling vegetables. Reborn in this world, his greatest wish was to engage in art and become a true master of the earth's art, making up for the inadequacies of his past life. However, if Zhou Fan were to say now that he wanted to engage in art and become an artistic master, it wouldn't be just people who didn't know him who wouldn't believe it - even this little girl in front of him probably wouldn't believe it either.

  After some thought, Zhou Fan nodded, "Yeah, selling vegetables is pretty good. My parents have been doing it for a lifetime, I can do it too."

  "But selling vegetables, selling vegetables..."

  Chen Su said a few more vegetable sellers, and Zhou Fan already understood her meaning. "You mean to say that selling vegetables is very lowly?"

  "No, no." Chen SuSu hastily waved her hand, "I just feel that selling vegetables is bitter and tiring."

  If possible, it's better not to sell vegetables. At the same time, she also thought of her own family, although slightly better than Zhou Fan's, but her parents were always very tired. What she wants most now is to take an ideal university exam and help her parents reduce their burden after graduation.

  "That's it."

  Zhou Fan smiled, he understood Chen Su's meaning. No matter what the other party thought was humble or very bitter and tiring. Anyway, Zhou Fan wasn't very interested in taking university exams.

  "It's just..."

  "There's nothing else, if you keep pushing me, I won't come to class anymore."

  This sentence is quite useful, Chen Su thought of saying something else, but ultimately had to nod silently, "Okay."

  "Zhou Fan, Teacher Fang is looking for you."

  The morning self-study class ended quickly, and at this time, the representative of the language class with a gentle tone called out Zhou Fan.

  "What can I do for you?"

  Zhou Fan didn't have a good impression of this language class representative. This guy was the son of the Tianhua Education Bureau director, named Li Shaohua, a typical second-generation official. However, he happened to look quite refined and usually pretended to be a gentleman. Plus, his academic performance wasn't bad either, so many ignorant little girls were deceived by his appearance. But this guy was good at pretending, and many people didn't really understand Li Shaohua.

  But Zhou Fan was originally a mixed bag, others didn't know about his ugly affairs, but Zhou Fan did.

  "How would I know? You'll find out when you go."

  Li Shaohua smiled and thought to himself, "When a teacher looks for you, it's usually not good news."

  This week Fan is so arrogant, he should be disciplined by the teacher.

  "Alas, how annoying! I just settled with a kind-hearted little girl, and now here comes a beautiful female teacher."

  Helpless, Zhou Fan had no choice but to go downstairs and came to Fang Ruohan's office.

  "Beautiful sister, are you looking for me?"

  "Huh?"

  Fang Ruo Han stared at Zhou Fan.

  "Alright, Teacher Fang, what can I do for you?"

  "This is more like it."

  Seeing Zhou Fan change his tone, Fang Ruo Han then said, "As your teacher, I just want to show some concern for you. I wanted to ask how your studies have been going recently, if there are any difficulties you can tell the teacher and we'll work together to find a solution."

  "Oh, I see, no problem then."

  Looks like another kind-hearted girl who wants to get herself back on track.

  Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel frustrated - was this world really so wonderful that everyone was a good person?

  "Really?"

  Fang Ruo Han smiled and continued, "However, I'm also very curious. Your article 'What is Bravery', was written so vividly and magnificently. I'd like to ask, how could someone who can write such an article only score 170 points?"

  "Oh, I see."

  It was that article again that caused trouble, however, Zhou Fan had already thought of a response, "That article was copied by me."

  "Which one of them is it? I've never read any of them before?"

  "This is what I unintentionally saw from an old book, it's normal that Teacher Fang hasn't seen it either."

  "You..."

  Fang Ruo Han was taken aback by Zhou Fan's expression, and initially wanted to ask him again about the characters he had written. However, she decided not to press the issue further, choosing instead to let things unfold gradually. She then softened her tone and said to Zhou Fan, "Actually, Zhou Fan, I think highly of you. I heard that Yanjing University has a special recruitment program this year, and I can consider recommending you for it. That way, you won't have to take the college entrance exam, but you'll still be able to get into university. What do you think?"

  "Report to teacher, I have no interest in university. After graduating from high school, I will inherit my father's business and make a living by selling vegetables."

  "What's for sale, vegetables?"

  Fang Ruohan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, feeling that her thoughts were somewhat unable to keep up.

  "Is there anything else, Teacher Fang?"

  "For a moment, she couldn't think of anything to say, and Fang Rou subconsciously replied, 'Uh, no.'"

  "If not, I'll leave first."

  After speaking, Zhou Fan quickly walked out of the office. By the time Fang Ruo Han came back to her senses, Zhou Fan was already nowhere to be seen.

  "This little rabbit runs really fast."

  She silently cursed Zhou Fan for a moment, but after a while, Fang Ruo Han's mouth curled up into a smile. "However, I won't let you off the hook."
