Chapter 334 Do you think it’s the feudal era?
"Did Zulu ask for leave today?" Lu Ping found that Gu Lu didn't show up for the morning reading, and when the first class was over, he didn't show up either.
Generally speaking this does not happen.
"It seems that I have asked for leave for something." Li Guyuan responded.
"Oh. CC, what is the specific situation?" Lu Ping asked the last classmate who might know.
"How do I know? Although I'm familiar with Zhulu, I definitely don't know much about him." Qi Caiwei responded with a bit of joy in a panic, and her words were confusing, "Although we are indeed familiar with each other, but I don’t know why this happened.”
In Lu Ping’s eyes, he didn’t understand why he had such a big reaction to his casual question.
Well, he turned off the engine without asking for any trace of Gu Lu.
"Lu Ping, why are you looking for Zhulu?" Qi Caiwei meant that she could relay it for him.
"It's nothing." Lu Ping originally wanted to complain to Gu Lu about "The Spirit of the Halberd Eater".
What Brother Pingtou didn't expect was that Ma Xuanyou was an ordinary student and his name could be used casually, but Gu Lu was a well-known neon writer in the country. How could he directly paste it as a prototype without saying hello?
And Gu Lu also felt his own strong luck. For example, the neon people who translated for him basically became famous. Furthermore, he seems to be particularly popular with neon cartoonists, who often write about him. Kuroko’s Basketball, Shokatsu no Soma... In addition, there is another work that is still being conceived. That cartoonist seems to be a little internet expert, and other Neon people have not paid attention to the Cthulhu series at all. This guy also produced the comic "Manmanbu Laiyoumeng and the terrifying Cthulhu Mythos".
Gu Lu didn’t ask much about the specific situation because he didn’t really care.
Currently, Gu Lu took a morning off to be interviewed by reporters.
After all, you are asking for help, and you must match the other person’s time.
"I don't know if Wudu Daily dares to report it." Gu Lu said this after saying hello, with a hint of excitement.
The person Gu Lu made an appointment with yesterday was none other than Liu Ting, the head reporter of Wudu Daily. He had previously collaborated on an interview when "The Little Prince" was released.
After a brief thought, Liu Ting thought: The Gu Lu in front of her was the "blood son" of the Youth League. Even if he broke the news, the Youth League of Fog City would come to protect him. To put it bluntly, when the sky falls, there is a tall one holding it up. So after she finished thinking, she gave an affirmative answer.
In fact, the reporter’s idea is correct. Even if the Fog City Youth League doesn't come forward, then the Black Province Youth League will come forward. Don't underestimate the unit Qingtuanzi...it seems useless, but it actually has a high priority.
Gu Lu told reporters exactly what happened yesterday. There was no need to add fuel to the fire, because the incident itself was excessive enough.
"Hiss - isn't the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development supervising it? Why..." Liu Ting marveled, but quickly changed her mind, "There are bad people in the team!"
She didn't expect that Gu Lu's action would be big news. Liu Ting's genes as a media person awakened. "Teacher Gu Lu, please rest assured, we will definitely report it. Regarding this matter, is there any evidence? It's not that I don't believe Teacher Gu Lu, it's just that having evidence is more impactful."
"There is a paragraph Video, a recording and screenshots," Gu Lu said. The screenshot is the call record of his mobile phone, which can very directly prove that he dialed the complaint hotline of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The video was taken yesterday after being startled by a knock on the door and then hearing a voice outside the door. The recording was secretly recorded by Gu Lu in the manager's office of the sales office. How can I put it, after living a lifetime, his idea of leaving evidence was still ahead of the times.
Think about the habits of future generations.
Although the 2013 mobile phone did not have an anti-shake function and the pixels for photography were average, it could accurately record half of Manager Zhang’s arrogant words outside the door. The recording is also relatively clear.
"Fog City does not allow such arrogant people to exist!" Liu Ting was also stimulated by this arrogant tone.
It is quite arrogant, and what makes Gu Lu feel uncomfortable is that Manager Zhang does not hide his arrogance at all. What does this prove? I'm used to being domineering!
"Teacher Gu Lu, this news must be the front page headline of our "Fog City Daily"!" Liu Ting then asked, half jokingly and half seriously, "Teacher Gu Lu is engaged in creation, what do you think tomorrow What’s the title?”
“Do you think this is the feudal era?” Gu Lu said, “What does Liu Ji think of this title?”
This is what I heard just now. Manager Zhang's words in the recording are, "Do you think this is an ancient feudal society? You can stop the sedan chair and complain..." etc., but there is no doubt that Gu Lu's slightly modified version is simpler and more impactful. sex.
You really shouldn’t mess with writers. Literary people really don’t use knives to kill people.
"What's wrong?" Gu Lu couldn't help but ask when he saw the reporter looking at him.
Liu Ting concealed her true thoughts, coughed dryly, and changed the subject: "I just didn't expect that talented writers would be troubled by these things."
"A brick hit me on the head. I will also bleed. When the writer is writing, his mind is wandering, but his body still needs to live. "Gu Lu said in a more serious tone, "Besides, if this happened to me, I can still find Sister Liu, but most people can't. If even the channels for making complaints are dangerous, then such a department is even more dangerous."
"If criticism is not allowed, then praise is meaningless," Gu Lu concluded in one sentence. .
"What a wonderful sentence." Liu Ting recited it silently twice.
"It was said by the French playwright Beaumarchais in "The Marriage of Figaro", and was quoted by Le Figaro as the main theme of the newspaper." Gu Lu explained casually.
"Awesome, Teacher Gu Lu is really knowledgeable." Liu Ting knew about Beaumarchais and the Figaro trilogy, but she had never read it.
"No, it's just that my knowledge is a bit complicated." Gu Lu said.
Next, Liu Ting asked about the details of the incident. The interview took one and a half hours.
"Thank you Teacher Gu Lu for providing our newspaper with such big news. Are you okay at noon?" Liu Ting said, "If nothing happens, I would like to treat Teacher Gu to a casual meal."
The invitation to dinner is definitely not out of gratitude. Mainly, Liu Ting is also a literary youth, and she also created for a period of time, although she later chose to be a journalist. Even so, she was definitely looking forward to having dinner with a great writer and chatting about his works.
"I should be the one thanking Liu Ji for taking the time to come over." Gu Lu said that he would treat him at noon.
The two of them did not hesitate too much. After setting a time, Liu Ting rushed to the newspaper office. She wanted to report the news quickly. In fact, she called the editor before she even left the teahouse.
Gu Lu also had to go back to school. When he was about to pay for the teahouse box fee, he found that Reporter Liu had already paid.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late after ten years, and King Gulu's revenge is from morning to night.
Reporter Liu Ting reported the news to the editor-in-chief. At first, the editor-in-chief was hesitant when he heard that the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development was involved, but when he heard that it was about Gu Lu, he immediately made arrangements without hesitation. The editor-in-chief of Wudu Daily and Liu Ting had similar thoughts. In this three-acre area of Wudu, who could overthrow Gu Lu?
Everyone who is famous is a good person. It can be seen from this incident that if you are famous enough, it means you can resist trouble.
The Eighth Middle School collapsed, and "Youth" cannot collapse either.
No matter how big a scandal breaks out in the foggy city, nothing can happen to Gu Lu, the representative of the Chinese youth.
The situation in Youth Digest and Wudu Daily is similar.
The editorial department is busy.
"Editor Qu, you have such a good temper. Teacher Gu Lu can't just catch someone picking off wool." Editor Xiao Mao was indignant.
"What do you know? Teacher Xiao Gu's writing can meet our serialization requirements even without relying on fame." Deputy Editor Qu said, staring at the macarons in the trash can. I got two extra macarons from the pantry today, and I couldn’t finish them all. Even if it’s just tea, I can’t bear to eat four of them.
It was stuffed into the trash can, but no one could notice it. Deputy Editor Qu used his toes to stuff the trash can into the corner of his desk.
"Then I believe it, but..." Editor Xiao Mao muttered too quietly behind him, probably saying that it would be okay to produce a horizontal manuscript, but he would definitely not be able to get the high price of two hundred per thousand words. Youth Digest’s manuscript fees are a little higher than those of ordinary magazines, but those with two hundred signatures are among the best.
"Xiao Mao, you have to pay attention to the pattern when doing things." Deputy Editor Qu stopped mid-sentence. On a larger scale, this is to accumulate contacts for Youth Digest; on a smaller scale, it is to use the magazine's manuscript fees to accumulate my own popularity.
But there is no need to explain it clearly, because he and Xiao Mao are not related, so there is no need to teach him like this.
Seeing that the leader stopped talking, editor Xiao Mao did not dare to continue asking.
In the past ten minutes or so, Xiaomao heard——
"Look at it, I will say that Mr. Gu is an open-minded person."
There are many attachments in the mailbox, two of which are "That Tree" and "Rocket Man" by Gu Lufa. There is also a message from Gu Lu: "That Tree" is my recent experience of moving, and the other "Rocketman" is a science fiction novel I wrote recently, which I feel is more in line with our Youth Digest.
"So if you give up, you will gain. If you are not willing to give up, what is there to gain?" Deputy Editor Qu said nonsense.
But with the facts before him, Xiao Mao could only nod and admit that the editor was right.
After a while, Deputy Editor Qu finished reading the two articles.
Deputy Editor Qu couldn't calm down for a long time. He had a lot to say, but in the end his mood turned into a sigh.
"What an enviable short story talent. The quality of "Rocket Man" is not far from being in a textbook. But it turned out that this was written casually by Teacher Gu Lu. I have been reading books for so many years, and I have never I’ve never heard of such a creative writer,” Deputy Editor Qu said.
Can science fiction be used in textbooks? Xiao Mao's eyes were full of surprise. Is it so exaggerated?
"How does that compare to science fiction like "Country Teacher" and "Raising God"?" Xiao Mao has also read Gu Lu's science fiction short stories.
"It's different. These two are unparalleled romances. In the God of Support, it takes hundreds of years to hear 'I love you', and they also have huge imagination." Deputy Editor Qu said, "But Rocket Man has a deeper meaning. ...That’s not right, Rocket Man’s intentions are actually not high. To be more precise, the literary value is higher. Since Mr. Gu Lu serialized Liaozhai Xinyi, the foundation of serious literature in his works has become stronger and stronger.”
< br>"As for the other article...ha, someone is going to be unlucky." Deputy Editor Qu smiled happily.
Generally, the jurisdiction of sub-district offices is divided by roads or rivers and bridges. The division between Fuxing Street and Fengxia Street belongs to the former, which is a road. The tree in the title of Gu Lu's work refers to the tree on the street. "Domestic dogs in Fuxing Street often mark their territory towards this tree. People in Fengxia Street seem to be more civilized and will always pay attention when walking their dogs..."< br>
Why is Fengxia Street more civilized than Fuxing Street, but the environment is worse? In just a few strokes, Gu Lu wrote an inversion: There is no difference between the residents of Fuxing Street and Fengxia Street. As for street cleaning and street lamp maintenance, there are differences in all aspects...
The residents are the same, but the managers are different. Big. Gu Lu had forgotten the name of the director of Fuxing Street, but it didn't matter! Just like Gu Lu, he also didn't know the name of Fengxia Street Director.
"In the next issue, both articles will appear. What's wrong with Teacher Gu Lu's writing?" Deputy Editor Qu said.
Xiao Mao's curiosity was completely aroused. He wanted to see what science fiction novels that could be used in textbooks looked like.
Deputy Editor Qu still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve, because his judgment was absolutely right. Many of Ray Bradbury's works have appeared in textbooks for American primary and secondary school students, including two in "Pattern Man", and Rocket Man is one of them.
"Can I read Teacher Gu Lu's works?" Xiao Mao asked.
"What are you looking at? Have you finished reviewing today's manuscript?" Deputy Editor Qu asked.
Well, I can read a short story without delaying my work. But the editor said it was delayed, so you were delayed. Xiaomao could only say yes one after another.
"You can see it in the next issue anyway, why are you in such a hurry?" Deputy Editor Qu started to pour out useless chicken soup again, "Young editors must be patient."
"Rocket Man" 》He’s got a taste of it, so he can say whatever he wants.
This is how people are, the less they get something, the more they want it. Xiao Mao's curiosity was completely piqued, and he spent the entire afternoon thinking about how to read the article.
Never had a chance...
At night.
Many people get off work at six o'clock, and many people get off work at eight or nine o'clock. People come and go on the streets.
Gu Lu went to school at around nine o'clock and was waiting for Gu Nuxia at the door of the classroom. If you are at the school gate, it is easy to miss it in the dark sky.
“Jiayu.” Gu Lu called to the heroine.
The heroine was very surprised, because she knew that her brother had the privilege of not having to study at night.
"Today we go to live in the old house as a commemoration." Gu Lu said.
Running to live in an old house on Monday night? To commemorate something, the reason doesn’t make sense at first glance, it must be something that happened on Sunday.
"Okay, no problem. I quite like the old house because it's the first house I rented." Since the brother didn't say anything, Gu Nuxia just went on.
The two of them walked towards the old road, where they can rent until the end of December. Even though most of the stuff has been moved to a new home, it's definitely okay to stay for a night or two.
You said it was a coincidence that I met the new director of Fuxing Street on the road. Let me tell you one more thing. Fuxing and Jiafu are both collectively referred to here. Jiafu is because of its famous Jiafuyuan is where Gu Lu lives, and Fuxing is the name of Fuxing Road, the street where the office is located. Even the clerks shouted two names alternately without paying much attention.
"Teacher Gu, is it so late today?" Director Geng greeted him immediately.
"Does the director get off work so late?" This is what Gu Lu is curious about. He tells the truth and makes sense. Grassroots clerks cannot work from 9 to 5, but there is absolutely no problem with working from 9 to 5 at the director level.
"Yes, I handed in my class today because I had something to do." Director Geng said, "As a party member, I don't know who else to go to at this time. Teacher Xiao Gu, don't you think so."
"The director's awareness is really high." Gu Lu gave a thumbs up.
"Then I won't delay Teacher Gu. Although the bumpy road here has been repaired, you still have to be careful when you go home and walk to the alley." Director Geng didn't chat too much and left very wisely.
After Director Geng had walked about a hundred meters, Gu Nuxia said carefully, "Is this the director of our street office?"
Gu Lu nodded, and Gu Jiayu added, "It feels a little pretentious."
"It's a little bit, but he really wants to do something." Gu Lu said.
"It makes sense. This road used to be full of potholes. Even if there were street lights, it would be easy to fall. I have seen others do somersault before." Gu Nuxia nodded in agreement.
The two were discussing in a low voice, and Director Geng, who was leaving, was also thinking about why he worked so hard without seeing a great writer write an article to praise him?
Is it possible that we are not active enough? Director Geng thought.
Tonight, no one knocked on the door loudly, and the Gu brothers and sisters slept well.
The sky changes, and the sun rises as usual.
As in the past, the weather in December was very cold, and I couldn’t feel the temperature of the sun at all.
People in Wudu go to work when they need to go to work, go to school when they need to go to school, and the director who needs to work harder will work harder.
But "Fog City Daily" was like a bomb in the calm, instantly blowing it to pieces!
The huge text on the front page reads "Do you think this is the feudal era?"
Subtitle: Manager Zhang of Bauhinia Community is afraid of collusion with the supervision unit. Is it collusion between government and business, or is it?
The report clearly told what happened. Don’t think that Liu Ting did nothing yesterday. She just omitted the cumbersome situation. For example, Liu Ting's lunch with Gu Lu, and Liu Ting's overall investigation.
In addition, the person involved is the famous writer Gu Lu!
The writer's story is inherently eye-catching, but Zijin Chen (The Hidden Corner) on Earth was deceived and directly became a hot search topic. Gu Lu's current reputation in parallel time and space is much greater than that of Zijin Chen. There are still official factors involved, and the buff stack is full.
Causing a sensation is inevitable.
"Manager Zhang from Bauhinia Garden, I think I have heard something about it. He is a very powerful gang in our sandy area. It is not convenient to say more details, because talking too much can easily cause trouble."
"Mao Grandpa, I miss you.”
“I bet it must be a temporary worker again!”
