For a moment, she couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Was it admiration, admiration, or just gratitude? She knew how hard her mother had pushed the man back then, but just because she cried a few times, the man was willing to continue renting to them and never raised the rent.
Li He didn't know what the little girl was thinking. When he passed by the bookstore, he stopped the car.
Buying books had become a habit of his. When he passed by the bookstore on his way home, he would go in for a spin and browse through the books.
There were already a lot of books in the house. Even if he hadn't read most of them, he still felt a special sense of security. A house without books would be incomplete. Bedside, bathroom, sofa, no matter which corner of the house he was stuck in, he would always touch books when he raised his hand.
He Fang had once told him that he was just trying to comfort himself by pretending to study every day.
There were many people in the bookstore, but very few people were buying books. Most of them were just there to read. They squatted, stood, or sat. No matter what their purpose was, they would always look at the books. As long as it was suitable, they would take it out and flip through it. They would read for hours.
"The Brief History of Science and Technology has arrived?" A girl on the bookshelf exclaimed in surprise.
"Really!"
"That's so slow. It took a month for it to arrive." Someone complained.
"It's not that it's slow. This book is restocked every Monday. If we were late, we wouldn't have been able to buy it. I didn't expect it to be restocked so soon. Hurry up, or it'll be gone." Someone else explained.
More than a dozen people swarmed around the bookshelf.
"So Germany is the world's first copycat country. Copycat? That's an interesting word. Does it mean plagiarism? It means Germany copied England, then America copied Europe, and Japan copied the West? "
"The West deeply understood that if the 1.1 billion people in China lived the same life as the Americans, it would be a disaster for the world. This is the deepest understanding of this phenomenon. "
"But how could the Chinese be content with being poor? China will use its own development to change the original competitive situation. Maybe China can't make itself as rich as the developed countries, but we can make them as poor as us … "
"That's funny."
"Aiya, stop looking. Are you going to buy it or not? If not, then put it down. Don't block the road!" Someone was very unhappy that the person in front was in the way.
A Brief History of Science and Technology?
Li He was curious. He had taught such a course in school before, so he knew how popular it was. However, he did not expect that someone could produce a book that was more popular than him.
Moreover, the content of the book gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Without hesitation, he squeezed his way to the bookshelf and pulled out a book. He flipped to the first page and was shocked by the contents!
His first thought was that he had been plagiarized!
This book was clearly organized according to his lecture notes!
Many of the contents were word-for-word!
This handout had even been compiled by a student and circulated in the school as Quotations of Li He for a period of time. He himself had been complacent about it for a period of time and didn't think much of it.
But now that someone was using it to make money, he couldn't tolerate it!
He had to find out which bastard had plagiarized his work!
However, when he saw the author on the cover, he was stunned!
The author's name was Li He. When he flipped to the second page, it was the author's introduction. It clearly stated his identity as a professor, a famous physicist, and a long list of titles.
He did not know the author of the preface at all, and the key point was that the author praised him to the skies. Li He suspected that the author was talking about him. The author spoke as if the two of them were very familiar with each other.
And the publishing house was the school's publishing house.
But even so, Li He decided not to let it go!
Damn!
He had never received a single cent of royalties!
He couldn't just let it go like this!
This was a complete disrespect to the fruits of his labor!
Yes, he decided to go to school.
He bought three books at once. After paying the bill, he drove directly to school.
When he arrived at school, he did not go to the logistics department to look for Director Jiang. Instead, he went to the physics department to look for Professor Wu.
"Yo, Boss Li is here!"
"Sister Chen, you're getting more and more plump!" Li He did not expect to meet Chen Yun.
Chen Yun slapped him angrily. "If you say I'm fat, just say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Li He pretended to be hurt from the slap. He rubbed his shoulder and said, "I'm innocent. I'm telling the truth. Did you just end class?"
Chen Yun nodded. "Class just ended. Why do you have time to come here? You were in the newspaper last time, right? If we weren't acquaintances, no one would dare to recognize you. "
Li He smiled embarrassedly. "It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
Chen Yun said, "That's enough. Being overly humble is hypocritical. There's one bad thing about you. You're always hiding everything, as if we're trying to take advantage of you. "
"That won't do. If there's anything you need, just tell me. I'll definitely do it!" Li He hurriedly clarified.
"Speaking of which, I do have something to trouble you with. If you don't come, I'll have to look for you. "Chen Yun looked at Li He with a smile.
Li He said generously, "What trouble? Just say it."
Chen Yun said in a low voice, "Help me write a song!"
"Write a song?" Li He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why would she bring up this topic? "Sis, are you kidding me? I'm a physics major! "
Chen Yun said with a smile, "Do you know that other than your nickname of 'Reference Literature', you have another nickname?"
"What is it?" Li He really did not know.
"Everyone calls you the Master Key. There's nothing you don't know. Look, there's no need to talk about your attainments in physics. You can write songs and write books. But your book is really popular. It sold out the moment it was published. Many schools are even preparing to use it as a teaching material."
"Master Key?" Li He was speechless, but then he asked, "You're talking about the book 'A Brief History of Science and Technology', right? Why didn't anyone ask for my opinion before publishing it? "
Chen Yun said, "This is a lecture. The school has the right to publish it on its own, but you'll definitely get a share of the royalties. Professor Wu was still alive during a meeting a few days ago. He asked the school's publishing house to contact you."
"Oh." Li He finally understood and went back to the main topic. "I'm not a professional in songwriting. There are so many big shots in the music school, but they chose a layman like me. It's not interesting at all. Besides, why are you looking for a song? Don't tell me you want to be a singer? "
Chen Yun said, "They asked me to do it. I won't mention the name. Anyway, it's a very famous singer, and they specifically asked you to write it. Let me give you a hint. If you write well, they want to sing it at the Spring Festival Gala. Then you'll get money and become famous. Didn't you always say in the past that it's a win-win situation? This is a win-win situation. "
"I really don't know how to do it!" Li He was in a difficult position. It was not difficult to copy a song, but he was afraid that once he started, there would be no end to it.
"Don't. I rarely beg you. It's very difficult for people to ask me for help." Chen Yun had a bitter look on her face.
Li He smiled bitterly. "Then I'll only write one! Don't look for me again. Also, if I write it, don't tell anyone that I wrote it. "
He did not know what kind of relationship Chen Yun had with the other party.
