  Did you get lost? The VIP rooms with the character "幽" and "傲" are only separated by a wall, so it's possible to get lost, especially when drunk. When drunk, it's even possible to mistake the kitchen for the toilet.

  It's nothing to treat the kitchen as a toilet, but what's scary is treating the toilet as a kitchen. The problem is that Zhuo Luo doesn't show any signs of drunkenness and speaks clearly and logically, not at all like someone who has had too much to drink and would mistake rooms.

  "This must be Su Shichen."

  The editor-in-chief of this school publication, Zhuo Luo, is actually looking for Su Xichen?

  Uncle Su Mo, Auntie and Su Hu were stunned, then they simultaneously made a move, turning their heads to stare blankly at Su Shicun, their eyes filled with astonishment.

  "That's right, it's me. You must be the legendary editor-in-chief of 'Campus Journal'." Su Xichen stood up and shook hands.

  "What legend is just a pen holder for eating, we are the same in this regard," Zhuo Luo said with a smile. "Today is my friend's birthday, so I rushed to Yang City. Just now, my friend who was celebrating his birthday happened to pass by the corridor and found that the person known as the most talented in Huaxia was having dinner next to us, so I came over with a thick face, hoping you won't mind."

  "It's a rare sight. The editor-in-chief of 'Campus Journal' has arrived, and it can be said that he is a treasure trove of talent, adding a lot of color to this humble abode." Su Xichen joked.

  "My evaluation of the three books you wrote: 'Journey to the West' is brilliant, 'Desolate Era' is incredibly brilliant, and 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection' is so brilliant that I'm speechless." Zhuo Luo said, "We've been destined to meet for a long time. I've always wanted to see what kind of genius can write a classic fantasy masterpiece like 'Desolate Era' at the age of 15, and even more, what kind of genius can write an epic detective novel like 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection' at the age of 15. Today, I finally get to meet you in person."

  "I've also known Editor Zhuo for a long time. Thanks again to Editor Zhuo for the 'Wukong Biography' last time."

  "There's nothing to thank me for, I just wrote down my true feelings after finishing reading 'Journey to the West'."

  "It's just that Chief Zhu has really increased our sales a lot, I've always wanted to say thank you in person, but never had the chance."

  "Haha, I also want to thank you, great author Su." said Zhuo Luo.

  "What am I thanking you for?"

  "Thank you for writing such great works as 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' and 'Journey to the West', I spent many sleepless nights with these two books." Zhuo Luo said matter-of-factly.

  "Right, haven't kept you waiting?" Zoro asked as he saw Su Mo and the others staring at Su Release in unison.

  "Speak of the devil, we were just talking about you." Su Xichen said with a smile.

  "Huh? Discuss me?" Zhāo Lóu was puzzled. Before this, they had never met before, what was there to discuss?

  "My older male cousin wrote an article and wants to publish it in the school newsletter, but he's not sure if it will be accepted, so he's struggling with this issue."

  "What's the article about?"

  "My cousin is a returned overseas student from the United States and has written an article discussing the differences between Chinese international students and foreign international students."

  "It seems that the whole family is quite impressive, with my uncle being a sea turtle and my cousin being a great writer. This article is very good, perfectly fitting the theme of our school publication, and it's also based on personal experience. Such an article should be no problem at all, I'll take a look at it later. No matter how impressive this family is, they still can't compare to that other family who had 'seven imperial scholars in one generation, three top scholars among father and son'."

  Zhuo Luo did not directly agree with Su Xichen, but first asked about the type of article, which also showed Zhuo Luo's professionalism and would not casually agree just to save face. However, once such a person agrees, they will not go back on their word.

  Aunt and uncle Su Mo were overjoyed: "Xiao Hui, hurry up and thank Chief Editor Zhuo."

  "Thanks, Chief Editor Zhuo." Su Hu stood up and raised two cups of wine in his hand. "Chief Editor Zhuo, I'd like to toast you a cup."

  "No need, no need. I'm driving tonight and can't drink, so I didn't even have a sip when friends toasted me, but they still said I was a buzzkill. In that case, let's substitute tea for wine." Zhuo Luo clinked cups with Su Hu and downed the tea in one gulp.

  "How about Su Daxia going next door to play?"

  "Don't call me Su the great writer anymore," Su Xichen waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't bear it. "I won't go, my uncle and aunt just returned from America today, and I don't know any of Chief Editor Zhuo's friends, it would be too embarrassing."

  "That's fine, I won't force it then." After exchanging phone numbers with Su Xichen, Zhuo Luo left.

  After Zhuo Luo left, Aunt Su Mo, Aunt and Cousin Su Hu stared at him as if he was an alien, making Su Xian Chen feel uncomfortable all over.

  "Aunt, uncle and cousin, why are you staring at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?"

  "Xiao Chen just heard Chief Editor Zhuo say that you are a great writer?" It took Auntie Su, Xiao Chen's aunt, a long time to ask this question.

  "Not a great writer, just wrote three books 'Journey to the West', 'Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection' and 'Desolate Man'. The best-selling 'Desolate Man' sold around 3.5 million copies."

  Sales of over 35 million copies, this sales volume is very good even in the United States, let alone in China.

  "It's been years since we last met, and Xiao Chen has become a great author!" Su Mo now had the feeling of listening to a heavenly book. A great author? With sales of 3.5 million copies?

  Imagine if you were a university classmate, and you knew him inside out, but after four years of not seeing each other, he became a huge tycoon, driving a Lamborghini, you would be absolutely stunned, right? That's exactly how Su Mo feels now.

  " 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes', are you actually Su Chen?" Su Hu exclaimed suddenly, staring at Su Xichen with a look of shock and amazement.

  "What's wrong with you, Su Chen?" Su Xi looked at her nonsensical cousin Su Hu in surprise.

  "Is it 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'? Did you really write that, cousin?"

  "Yes, but have you heard of it in the US? I remember that Sherlock Holmes doesn't have an English version yet and hasn't opened up national sales channels."

  "Of course, you don't know that your novel has been a sensation throughout our school since my classmate's sister Jenny translated it. According to Jenny, the author is Si Chen Su, and I had no idea it was actually you, my cousin."

  What's with the "Si Chen"? According to American customs, it is indeed correct that the surname comes last, but what's with the "Si Chen"? Come to think of it, I remember now that it was only when Jenny translated her name incorrectly.

  This is almost homophonic with "shi yu shi", Jenny has a Chinese mom, but grew up in the US, so it's understandable if she makes translation mistakes.

  Of course this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that I didn't expect such a coincidence, Su Hu's sister turned out to be Wang Shan's best friend.

  "Is Xiao Chen really that good-looking?"

  "Of course, Holmes is the best-looking reasoning I've seen in the US. The protagonist Holmes is really handsome to explode, and this year's newcomer king in the US can't compare with him."

  Su Release's uncle and aunt heard Su Hu say so, they understood that he was even better than the new king of America, and their nephew had become so fierce in four years without seeing him!

  Su Hu's face turned red as he thought about it, previously he had boasted that if Su Xianchen learned a little bit of his literary talent, she would be able to roam freely in the world of flowers. Now thinking about it, this statement was completely self-deprecating, and should be said the other way around - if he could learn a little bit of Su Xianchen's literary talent, then he would be able to roam freely in the world of flowers.

  "Xin ah, you're really something, hiding it from me like that." Auntie looked at Wei Xin with a hint of complaint. She had already published a book and the sales were so good, how could this be considered average achievement?

  Actually, Su Xichen's aunt was indeed a bit wronged by Wei Xin, Su Xichen's grades were really average...

  This time Su Hu's article can be published in the "School Journal", it can be said that thanks to Su Ximeng, so at the next banquet, Auntie and Uncle kept giving Su Ximeng dishes.

  "Su Master..."

  "Stop it, I've told you how many times, don't call me Su Da Shi, this name is quite awkward." Su Xie Chen interrupted Zhang Chen's words.

  "Why? Only this title can show my respect for you."

  "Alright alright, what's the matter?"

  "The newspaper said you painted 'Slam Dunk' for hype and making money, it shouldn't be like that, right?" Zhang Chen asked.

  "What about you?" Su Xichen asked back.

  "I'm sure it's not," Zhang Chen replied firmly without a hint of hesitation.

  "It's really surprising that these newspapers can think of making money with the 'Slam Dunk' comic. I can make more money by publishing a new book than by drawing comics, and it also saves time."

  Zhang Chen nodded, indeed as Su Shicun said, why bother drawing comics if you just want to make money.

  "Teacher Zhang Ze, can our comic 'Football Heart' really beat 'Slam Dunk'?" Zhang Ze's student lacked confidence.

  "Of course we will win, why don't you have confidence in your teacher?" Zhang Ze glanced at the student.

  "That Su Xianchen is a newcomer, and has only taken less than ten professional courses, but when Su Xianchen became a screenwriter, he was also a newcomer, had never done it before, but 'The Great Wilderness Western Journey' broke the highest ratings of 7, even the scripts written by first-rate screenwriters couldn't beat him, we've said too much, what if we lose in the end?"

  "I've also read Su Shi's works, he is indeed a genius, his writings span across many genres, from classical fantasy to detective fiction, two completely unrelated types, something that many top-notch writers can't achieve."

  "There are specialized fields, and it's definitely not possible for a romance writer to write detective fiction. Similarly, it's also very difficult for a detective fiction writer to write romance. Whether it's classical fantasy or detective fiction, these two genres are so vast that one can spend their entire life writing about them and still not finish. Zhang Zedao said, "Writing both types at the same time is extremely challenging, and doing both well is even more difficult."

  "Su Release Morning turned this impossibility into a possibility, the quality of 'Sherlock Holmes' is extremely high even in the US. This year's Hugo Award for 'Sherlock Holmes' only won one Best Long Story award and lost the Newcomer Award, which is absolutely a dark horse of the Hugo Awards."

  "'The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation' is the most brilliant classical fantasy novel I've ever seen, and it's also the only one that makes me want to create a comic based on its background after finishing reading it. Su Xuechen can write both reasoning and classical fantasy, two completely unrelated themes, so magnificently, just this point alone makes the title of 'China's most talented' absolutely not exaggerated, and even calling him the world's most talented wouldn't be an overstatement."

  There is a saying: The evaluation from an opponent's mouth is the most real.

  Just like in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", even if he was an archenemy, the main character Chu Liuxiang would still be addressed as "Xiang Shuai".

  "Teacher, since you like Su Shi's works so much, why did you say something like that?"

  "The most important reason is what I said when I accepted the interview with the reporter before, that manga is not something an author can play around with, whether it's reputation or content, 'Football Spirit' has already crushed 'Slam Dunk' and become a foregone conclusion."

  "And I've also prepared a secret weapon..."
