Chapter 59: One article after another, isn’t this too productive? (Please follow up)
"Old Wang, you are here too! Just in time to help review the manuscript!"
Feng's mother went directly into Liu Xinwu's office and found that Wang Shimin, the leader of the editorial team, was also there and said hello!
“Old Liu, I’ve made an appointment with two manuscripts, do you want to read them?!”
Then he walked over and threw the thick stack of manuscripts in his hand on Liu Xinwu's desk, with a look of great anticipation on his face.
"Teacher Gu, you... Actually, I already criticized Xiao Yang and the others yesterday!" Liu Xinwu looked at the thick stack of manuscript paper, and the flesh on his face was twitching.
Teacher Gu, how much stimulation did she receive yesterday to be able to take out all the manuscripts that were at the bottom of the box? ?
No need to guess!
These manuscripts must be written by Teacher Gu and her lover, Lao Feng.
Liu Xinwu was also coveting the batch of manuscripts in Lao Feng's hands before, thinking that they would not be able to get the manuscripts from the old Qian in his hospital when they resume publication in October, but it would be nice to get the ones in Lao Feng's hands at least.
Moreover, after his lover, Lao Feng, came back from Pingfan, he and his partner Liu Xinwu presided over the work of re-publication of "October". They did not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. His lover's unit was short of manuscripts for the re-publication, so at least he could support some manuscripts, right?
It's a pity that I didn't give it!
They have resumed publication for the third issue in October, and so far they have not seen even half of the manuscript by Gu Xueqing and her lover Lao Feng.
But he didn't expect that Teacher Gu might have been so stimulated yesterday that he actually took out all the manuscripts that Old Feng had packed in the bottom of the box.
So many manuscripts! This made Liu Xinwu a little embarrassed. This manuscript is good, but if we take it out out of anger, then forget it!
Unless they published the manuscript in October, the couple started quarreling.
"Teacher Gu! Actually, I was too impatient here! I, Lao Liu, was stimulated by Li Qingquan, so I was anxious to ask the children of the Qian family to help inquire and book manuscripts, and that's why I got this misunderstanding!"
"So this responsibility is actually all mine! I, Liu Xinwu, am too impatient! I am anxious that we can make some achievements in "October" as soon as possible!"
"I'll review it! Teacher Gu, we really don't need to be angry! Our working atmosphere in October is pretty good, so don't think too much about it, Teacher Gu!"
Following Liu Xinwu's shameful self-reflection, he comforted Gu Xueqing.
"Old Liu, how can I be angry? Am I, Gu Xueqing, so angry?"
"Read the manuscript first. This is the manuscript that my debt collector worked so hard to get. You read it first!"
Why does Gu Xueqing want him, Liu Xinwu, the editor-in-chief, to apologize and criticize! ? It was her, Gu Xueqing, who caused the oolong!
But that’s not important anymore, now I just read the manuscript first! Gu Xueqing wanted to see if Liu Xinwu, who was so eager for manuscripts, dared to publish this manuscript.
Anyway, the one in her family felt that Liu Xinwu was brave, and he would definitely dare to be included in this manuscript.
"Okay! Read the manuscripts first!" Liu Xinwu nodded, pretending to be surprised, and asked, "Teacher Gu, there are so many manuscripts! Are you referring to the batch of manuscripts in Lao Feng's hand? Have they all been moved out?”
"It's not Lao Feng's! The batch of manuscripts in his hand are precious to him. Whoever dares to touch him will be in trouble!" Gu Xueqing laughed to herself and continued, "Besides, Lao Feng has not written manuscripts in this area for a long time. Be knowledgeable!”
"Isn't it Lao Feng's?! So, Teacher Gu, did you really get an appointment with this manuscript?"
Liu Xinwu looked surprised. It was not the manuscript of her lover Lao Feng. Then Liu Xinwu thought of a possibility!
Did Teacher Gu really get the manuscript of Lao Xu, the author of Yanjing Literature's "Wrangler"?
Moreover, such a thick stack of manuscripts!
It’s true! ?
"What do you think?" Gu Xueqing asked back, her face filled with pride.
"Is it really a manuscript written by Wrangler Lao Xu? There are so many!?"
Wang Shimin next to him also exclaimed, and quickly started to read this batch of manuscripts. My Guaiguai has such a thick stack of manuscripts, how long will it take that old Xu to write it! ?
And didn’t Li Qingquan say that this “Wrangler” Lao Xu is a newcomer and a new author?
How can a new author be so calm and hold so many manuscripts in hand without publishing or submitting them?
Cao Aiqin, Xiao Yang and others who followed in were also surprised. Did Gu Xueqing really get the manuscript of Wrangler author Lao Xu? !
And just now Teacher Gu said, there are two articles!
But in such a thick pile of manuscripts, there are more than two articles!
"Hey, Lao Wang and Lao Liu, let me declare in advance that I cannot guarantee that this manuscript is the manuscript of Wrangler Lao Xu!"
"You all know that the debt collector in my family is so unreliable! Who knows if she gave me a manuscript from a classmate to fool me? It's really possible that it was her classmate Cha Jianying!"
"So I can't guarantee whether the manuscript is true or not!"
"Anyway, it's just this manuscript, Lao Liu and Lao Wang, take a look at it. Use it if you can use it. If not, I'll return it. I suggest my debt collector to send him to Yenching Literature!"
Gu Xueqing waved her hands repeatedly. If she wants to pretend, she must pretend to the end. She will definitely not be full of words now.
That’s what I mean, Manuscript has made an appointment for you. Now if it can be used, use it and return it if it cannot be used. At worst, I will ask Li Qingquan to put in another big satellite.
Of course, Feng’s mother, Gu Xueqing, was talking angrily. Liu Xinwu really didn’t dare to join, and she wouldn’t give it back to Yenching Literature.
"This... let's read the manuscript first!"
He was not sure whether it was the manuscript written by Mr. Xu, the herdsman. The flesh on Liu Xinwu's face twitched again, and he was muttering in his heart.
If this is true as Teacher Gu said, her unreliable daughter invited her classmates' manuscripts to come over to make up the numbers. Should he use it or not?
use?
If the manuscript is too bad, but this manuscript is so thick, it will cost money!
No?
Teacher Gu was already stimulated yesterday, and now she is excitedly holding such a thick pile of manuscripts. Wouldn't it embarrass her again if she doesn't use it?
Liu Xinwu glanced at Cao Aiqin and the others, so many pairs of eyes were looking at them!
If this manuscript is bad, send it back to Teacher Gu... Liu Xinwu was pounding in his heart. He only hoped that Teacher Gu would review this manuscript once and the quality would not be too bad. Teacher Gu's level is still very good, otherwise it would not be possible. He will be assigned a partner to take charge of the work in October.
If nothing else, let’s read the manuscript first!
"Well! There are two manuscripts here! One is a short story and the other is a novella. Old Liu, you guys read the above short story first. The lower novella is not finished yet!"
After Feng's mother finished speaking, she walked directly to a chair, sat down, and waited!
But as you wait, your eyelids start to fight. People who stay up late just can't hold on, let alone touch the chair with their buttocks!
Feng’s mother was so awesome last night. She read the novella in one go and stayed up until one or two in the morning!
In addition, it was an unfinished novella, which was interrupted again and again at exciting points, which made Feng's mother feel itchy and she almost couldn't sleep well all night.
I secretly hated her mud-legged son-in-law even more. How could he write such a powerful and good manuscript? I didn’t even show it to her after he finished it!
It's fine now. If she hadn't come to work at work, she would have wanted to lock her son-in-law in the room and rush to work!
"There's another novella!?"
Liu Xinwu flipped through the manuscript below and thought, "No wonder it's such a thick pile, otherwise there wouldn't be more than ten short stories. Teacher Gu is planning to arrange all their manuscripts for October and next year!"
I immediately flipped through it again, pulled out the short story at the top, and handed the novella at the bottom to Lao Wang next to me, and read it separately.
"This manuscript..."
Liu Xinwu just read the beginning, and his heart was agitated again. He wanted to say something but didn't say any more, but focused on reading further.
Wang Shimin raised his head and glanced at Liu Xinwu. Seeing that there was nothing to say, he lowered his head and looked at the novella in his hand.
Outside, Cao Aiqin and the others wanted to come over and take a look at the manuscript Gu Xueqing invited. How was it?
Anyway, Gu Xueqing’s complacency may not be bad.
However, in the workplace, many people didn’t dare to think of the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu as the editor-in-chief. Old Liu didn’t let them come in to watch it together, and they didn’t dare to watch it.
He could only stand at the door and watch helplessly, waiting for Lao Liu and the others to express their stance.
Soon, Lao Liu's office fell into silence, with the only sound of Liu Xinwu and others turning over manuscripts.
Gu Xueqing couldn't sit still!
If she sat down again, she might just fall asleep and make a fool of herself, so she got up and walked around the office again.
"Teacher Gu, give it!"
Xiao Yang, the preliminary editor, was clever and quickly returned to the editorial office to help Feng's mother and make a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you! You should go back to work first! Lao Liu may still have some time to read the manuscript!"
Even the short story in Lao Liu's hands has more than 30,000 words. If you really get into it, you might finish it in less than an hour or two.
As for the novella in Lao Wang's hands, although it has not been completed yet, it still has over 100,000 words, not to mention.
So Gu Xueqing, who took the tea bowl, talked to Xiao Yang and the others, and she followed out!
Waiting here is just waiting, she has other things to be busy with.
…
"Xuemin, you may have to write a new manuscript! If my mother gets that novella, she will definitely not spit it out again!"
Here Cheng Xuemin also sent Feng Jiayou to school and dropped her off at the Wusi intersection. When Feng Jiayoulin left, he told Cheng Xuemin.
The daughter she gave birth to herself knows what kind of mother she has, and the Feng family's daughter also knows the same thing.
Yesterday, her mother told her to read the novella first and then talk about it after reading it.
But when she was leaving the house today, she saw that her mother's briefcase was stuffed to the brim. Apparently her mother had taken the novella with her to the work!
That's like putting a sheep in a tiger's mouth and beating a dog with a bun. How can you give it back to them?
Don’t even think about it!
So her husband had to quickly start the second plan to help Zhang Dening of Yanjing Literature write another manuscript.
"Let's wait and see what mom says today! I'll finish the novella first and then talk about it!"
Cheng Xuemin nodded and responded first, but he was really cursing in his heart, you mother and daughter would not commit such a robbery!
One article after another, one after another, just say robbery!
Originally, Cheng Xuemin was secretly catching up on the progress, secretly submitting his manuscripts to other publications, and secretly collecting manuscript fees and depositing them into a small treasury.
But he was there all day long, and he usually had to hand over the public food to their mother and daughter, but withheld only so much private food for himself.
They, mother and daughter, are going to exploit each article one by one, so that his little treasury cannot be replenished. What is this if not robbery?
"That's okay, you can change your mind first, but my mother and the others won't be too eager to use this novella in October. No matter how you calculate it, it will have to be finished after the new year!"
"I said my mother is overbearing. She could have given this novella to Yenching Literature first. Why do they have so many manuscripts for a monthly magazine? If you have the time, Xuemin, your subsequent manuscripts would have been published long ago!"
Thinking that her mother has two articles in her hands, and it is impossible for her mother to publish two articles in one issue for them in October, so hoarding is also hoarding, why not let them directly give it to Yanjing Literature?
The couple are still waiting for this novella to earn a lot of royalties, so they can look at the house and move out before the winter vacation!
