Chapter 55 Luoyang Zhigui
Li Xiaoyu is a freshman in the Chinese Department of Capital Normal University.
As the first batch of students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, their enthusiasm for learning is very high.
Of course, they love learning. As students of the Chinese Department, they are very interested in reading various poems and novels.
They can read basically every issue of various popular periodicals such as "People's Literature" and "Capital Literature and Art".
Of course, even if a magazine only costs 40 cents, it is impossible for everyone to buy it.
More often than not, one or two classmates in the class buy it and take turns reading it.
Today is the day when the new issue of "People's Literature" magazine is released. Li Xiaoyu has already gone to the bookstore several times in order to buy the magazine as soon as possible.
People in this era have relatively few entertainment activities, and there are no various short videos and games such as Douyin and Wangzhe to occupy everyone's time.
So reading is the most important pastime.
When she went to buy it for the fifth time, "People's Literature" finally arrived.
She couldn't wait to buy a copy, and then started to read it.
And on the first page is the novel "Longing".
“The young and beautiful female worker Liu Huifang hesitated when faced with two suitors.”
“One is Song Dacheng, the workshop director, and the other is Wang Husheng, a college graduate who comes to work in the factory.”< br>
"She longs for love..."
A simple beginning immediately attracted Li Xiaoyu.
I was walking and watching, but I couldn't help but stop walking towards the dormitory.
This stop lasts for an hour!
“Xiaoyu, what’s the matter with you.”
"We are all waiting for you to bring the magazine back."
Just when Li Xiaoyu was immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate herself, the figure of her classmate Guo Yan appeared in front of her.
Obviously, Guo Yan and the others had not waited for Li Xiaoyu to come back and couldn't help but come over to see the situation.
The result was that Li Xiaoyu was found standing under a poplar tree near the bookstore, reading a book motionless.
We agreed to buy it and watch it together, but you ended up peeking here.
No wonder Guo Yan's tone is not so kind.
"Huh?"
"Guo Yan, why are you here?"
Li Xiaoyu has not yet realized why his best friend is staring at him with a bad tone.
“You also said that everyone has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Guo Yan looked at Li Xiaoyu speechlessly.
I used to think that she was very reliable in doing things, but why doesn’t that seem to be the case today?
“I just bought the magazine and wanted to come back as soon as possible, but when I turned the first page, I saw a very well-written novel, and I couldn’t help but immerse myself in it.”
< br>"I won't lie to you, it's really good."
As Li Xiaoyu said, he turned the magazine to the "Desire" page, and then handed it to Guo Yan.
At first I thought Li Xiaoyu was making excuses, but after quickly browsing a few paragraphs, Guo Yan stopped moving.
She stood like this under the poplar tree, letting the autumn wind blow slowly.
Although both of them were quite plainly dressed, their young and beautiful figures attracted the attention of many passers-by.
"How come this novel is over?"
""People's Literature" is a bit immoral, why not publish it all at once."
Guo Yan doesn't blame Li Xiaoyu now.
She can completely understand why her best friend didn't go back just now. "This novel will probably be serialized several times, but I don't know how the plot will develop later. Will Liu Huifang choose Wang Husheng or Song Dacheng?"
"It should be Song Dacheng, right? , after all, he is more practical."
"Not necessarily, it may be Wang Husheng."
...
The two were chatting and communicating.
Other people who bought "People's Literature" were also fascinated by the novel "Desire".
When you see a good thing, you must be eager to share it with your friends and colleagues.
As a result, more people will buy this issue of "People's Literature".
On the second day, this trend became more obvious, and more people discussed "Longing".
Even some people who don’t usually pay much attention to literature can’t help but want to find out more about the situation when they hear people around them discussing "Longing".
So before the second day passed, the first bookstore that was sold out appeared.
The "People's Literature" magazine naturally received the news quickly.
“Xiao Ge, the sales department of a Xinhua Bookstore has sold out.”
"Then two companies also called and asked for additional orders."
"The sales of this issue of our magazine are much better than the last issue."
Cui Yongfang is definitely better than Jiang now. Hui, the author, pays more attention to the performance of "Desire".
As long as this novel is successful, their magazine sales will have a chance to set new records in the next few months.
This is definitely a very impressive achievement for her, the leader of the novel group.
"Is it sold out?"
"Great, I went to the bookstore this morning to take a look, and there are indeed a lot of people buying it."
Ge Suhong. Now I feel less anxious and excited.
Everything seems to be settled.
Although this is only the first serial issue of "Desire" and there are more than 400,000 words to follow, it is a good start and at least the next few issues are guaranteed.
While "People's Literature" was paying close attention to the sales of this issue, in a hospital, several doctors gathered together to chat in their spare time.
"Have you read the latest issue of "People's Literature"?"
"The novel "Longing" serialized above is really well written. I strongly recommend you to read it. Look.”
Obviously, the person who said this is already a big fan of "Desire".
“I also saw it. Looking at the author’s name, it seems that he is still a new author. I have never seen any articles written by him before.”
A senior reader of "People's Literature" obviously has a slightly different focus than others.
"It should be a newcomer. I have read the "People's Literature" and other major magazines in the past year."
"But I have never heard of the name Jiang Hui. "
Fang Zhen, who was about to come up to communicate, was slightly stunned when he heard the name "Jiang Hui".
This author actually has the same name as his son-in-law?
But it seems quite normal. With so many people in China, it is not uncommon to have the same name.
In their hospital, there were several people with the same name.
Just when Fang Zhen was thinking about this matter, Li Rongfang, a doctor next to her who had a very close relationship with her and had many personal contacts, turned to look at Fang Zhen and asked: "Doctor Fang, what are you doing? My son-in-law seems to be named Jiang Hui, right? I heard he is very talented. Could it be that he wrote "Desire"?"
