Chapter 104: Calm down, Teacher Gu, you must calm down!
When you go to the table to eat, you bite the bullet and just keep your head down while eating.
"Xuemin, I'm going to have a meeting today. In addition to publishing the manuscript, does Mr. Wu have any other special instructions?"
But this meal was not something Cheng Xuemin could avoid just by pretending to be stupid!
His mother-in-law took the initiative to open the topic and asked him if he had any other instructions besides dropping the atomic bomb.
"Ahem!"
Before Cheng Xuemin could say anything, his father-in-law, Father Feng, coughed twice, which made Mother Feng unhappy!
"Old Feng, I'm talking to Xuemin, what are you coughing for?"
"Also, why do I think you all look so weird? Are you hiding something from me?"
When she came out of the kitchen, she saw her lover Lao Feng, the eldest brother Feng Jiazhao and his wife, the second son's daughter-in-law, and two debt collectors.
Especially the elder Feng Jiamo, who is usually a carefree and greedy person, should have eaten first from the cat kitchen.
But today is so unusual, everyone is very quiet!
At first, Feng's mother was so excited that she didn't pay much attention to it, but now since her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin came back, the atmosphere at home has become increasingly weird.
She just wanted to ask Xuemin if Mr. Wu had any other instructions!
Why do all of these people feel as if they are facing a formidable enemy?
"Xue Qing, do you think who has greater influence compared with your "October" and "People's Literature"?"
never mind!
Father Feng spoke directly, no longer hiding it!
It’s better to talk it over directly, otherwise don’t wait for her to go to the work tomorrow and keep it in the dark without knowing anything. Don’t tell everyone when she arrives at the work that they are really going to start releasing sex in October. It’s her. Son-in-law Cheng Xuemin helped do it!
"Although I don't want to admit it, it must be the influence of People's Literature. After all, with the word 'people', it is the ceiling of our publication!"
"Why, Old Feng, why did you suddenly mention this?! It's definitely not possible to compare the influence of our "October" with "People's Literature"!"
"But if we compare it with Lao Li's "Yenching Literature"..."
Feng's mother was originally wondering why Lao Feng suddenly brought up this topic, comparing the influence of their "October" with "People's Literature"? !
Is there any comparison? No comparison!
If you compare it with Li Qingquan's "Yenjing Literature", you can still compete without giving up.
Compared with "People's Literature"... although it is not as big as a small tree, the gap is still very big!
After all, "People's Literature" starts with "people", which is a national-level publication. If they really care about "October", it may not even reach the ministerial level, at most it is a deputy level under the Literary Association. publication.
But while Feng's mother was talking, she suddenly realized what she had guessed. There was no way that Old Feng would talk to her about this influence for no reason!
Immediately, his words trembled, he dropped the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Old Feng and asked: "For "People's Literature"?"
"Xuemin's article was hand-picked by the senior leader. It must be published in the newspaper as soon as possible in conjunction with the propaganda, and it must have national influence!"
"People will not recognize our "October" when it comes out of Beijing, and its influence will be wiped out! Moreover, Mr. Wu has also considered the publication time, and he is not in a hurry!"
"So after the meeting, Mr. Wu deliberately left Lao Liu and Xuemin behind, and that was what he was talking about!"
"At the end of the manuscript, we decided on "People's Literature"!"
OK!
The father-in-law is still reliable. He will come to the rescue at critical moments. To appease the mother-in-law, the father-in-law has to take action.
"Hey, what big deal do you think you are hiding from me?" Feng's mother was stunned for a while, her face changed several times, but finally she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Isn't this better? Change it to Lao Zhang's "People's Literature" It shows that the higher-ups value Xuemin’s article more!”
"This is a great favor to the scholars themselves. If I hadn't hindered Mr. Liu's face, when Mr. Wu finalized it, I would have wanted to be in "People's Literature"!"
"In the final analysis, our "October" is really far behind. Even if we were to release it, we would not be able to release the power of the atomic bomb!"
Well!
Feng’s mother’s uncharacteristic words immediately surprised Feng’s father and others present. Even Cheng Xuemin himself raised his head and looked at his mother-in-law in disbelief!
Is it possible that Mr. Mao was right? His mother-in-law’s awareness is indeed obvious to all, so high!
"Mom, you, you, you... do you really think so? You really don't blame me and Xuemin!?"
The filial daughter Feng Jiayou was dumbfounded. She had thought of ten thousand ways to appease her mother, but she just didn't expect her mother to react like this!
"What's weird or not?"
"We just closed the door and said to ourselves, this is a great good thing for the students, and it is also a great good thing for our Feng family. We can't push it on our noses and act like we've got an advantage!"
Feng's mother's remarks really made Feng's father look at him with shame. This awareness was indeed high, but she quickly said with a wry smile: "It's just that this matter is a bit too sorry for Lao Liu!"
Discuss the matter!
For the mother-in-law, she definitely hopes that the more attention her son-in-law receives, the happier she will feel.
It was on "People's Literature", and it was appointed by the old leader. Her son-in-law was considered to be on it, and his name was really on it!
From now on, whenever the spirit of this meeting is mentioned, her good son-in-law cannot be avoided.
In the future, when his son-in-law enters an official career, this political capital alone will be enough for him to go very far, and he will not be worse than her father, Lao Feng.
But as the chief editor of "October", it is really frustrating to be pried away by "People's Literature" for manuscripts, and it was appointed by an old leader!
However, Feng's mother is not a saint. She must be more of a mother-in-law, which is completely incompatible with her bullshit consciousness.
Awakening, let Lao Liu show it! He must be feeling very aggrieved right now!
"Mom! Mr. Wu told Mr. Liu verbally after the meeting that the bimonthly publication of "October" may be changed to a single monthly publication in the spring after the new year!"
Cheng Xuemin quickly followed and mentioned something.
"That's enough!" Mother Feng nodded and said, "Come back, Xuemin, please give us a few more manuscripts, and try to increase the influence of our "October"!"
"That's for sure, Mom. I'll ask Xuemin to start writing right away tonight and write you a magnificent masterpiece. It will definitely be a hundred times, a thousand times better than the atomic bomb in "Wrangler"!"
Feng Jiayou hurriedly rushed to help Cheng Xuemin and made a verbal promise to make her mother happy.
"You can pull it down! It's all the fault of you, the debt collector, behind this, otherwise Xuemin's "Wrangler" should have been ours in October!" Feng's mother smiled and scolded the debt collector in her family angrily, Is it a hundred times, a thousand times better than the Wrangler?
Do you really think that your man is a literary star descending to earth, and can you publish good manuscripts and excellent works one after another?
"Aren't I afraid that you will have strict requirements again, Mom?"
Feng Jiayou muttered again, said a little bit, "Besides, how did I know he would be so angry?"
Just because I didn’t expect it to be popular, I originally planned to finish the manuscript quickly and get some royalties first.
But how could I know that it would be so well written.
Now it is even being touted as the number one article on ‘reflective literature’. If they had known this was the case, they would have given it a thumbs up.
But in this world, there is no such thing as ‘knowing earlier’!
False alarm!
I thought it was the "Last Supper" filled with assassination and assassination, but I didn't know it would be such a joyful one.
However, after dinner, not long after everyone went back to the house, Feng's father and Feng's mother could faintly hear Feng's mother's crying in the room.
This made Cheng Xuemin feel a little sorry. Feng Jiayou even went into her mother's room and came out with tears on her face.
Cheng Xuemin asked curiously, but she didn't say much to him.
But it's easy to understand. At the dinner table just now, the mother-in-law gave Cheng Xuemin some face as her son-in-law.
This is also related to Cheng Xuemin's entry into the family. It was the time when his mud-legged son-in-law came to Beijing just after arriving from northern Shaanxi!
For this, the mother-in-law had to scold them both to death.
Early the next day, Cheng Xuemin put the Feng family on the bus and went to "People's Literature" to report.
They worked overtime last night to produce the sample issue, which must be sent to Mr. Wu’s office for review today. As an author, I must read the sample issue first and follow it up to check.
The mother-in-law, Feng Mu, arrived at the work unit and entered the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu's office with "murderous intent". All the editors in the editorial department were stunned, and they didn't understand who had provoked Teacher Gu and her!
Hurry up and follow the cat. Want to hear what's going on?
And yesterday, the department was busy looking for Teacher Gu and her son-in-law, the author of "Wrangler", Lao Xu, and even their October editor-in-chief, Lao Liu, went to the department.
But then he didn't wait to return to Old Liu until he got off work. This morning, Old Liu's expression was as if someone owed him hundreds of dollars, and no one dared to provoke him.
Now Teacher Gu is here, and he is also looking bad, so we have to figure out what's going on! ?
"Old Liu, what's going on?! You went to the ministry for a meeting and you lost our atomic bomb!?"
At home she is the mother-in-law, but at work she must be the chief editor of "October"!
Liu Xinwu, the editor-in-chief, could have lost the atomic bomb by having a meeting at the top. If not him, who would Liu Xinwu be looking for?
One soldier is raging, and the general is raging in a nest. Why don't you fight for the top?
Although I know that Lao Liu is more aggrieved than anyone else now, as the chief editor, Feng's mother must have the attitude she should have.
Therefore, no matter how much you feel aggrieved, you can only grievance Lao Liu, let Lao Liu bear all the grievances!
Who called him the leader of "October" and not her, Gu Xueqing!
If it were her, Gu Xueqing, who was in charge of "October", then the matter of being pried away would have to be discussed separately.
What?
The colleagues in the editorial department who stole the cat outside did not expect that Teacher Gu, who would not stop talking about it so early in the morning, would actually question Lao Liu!
Their "October" atomic bomb, the atomic bomb that Teacher Gu and her son-in-law made for them "October" was lost when Lao Liu went to a meeting above! ?
What is this situation?
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu, please don't be impatient. I already know this, old Feng Xuemin and the others, and they definitely wouldn't dare to hide it from you!"
Liu Xinwu had a bitter look on his face. When he saw Teacher Gu rushing into his office, he subconsciously stood up and hid behind him, saying repeatedly, "Teacher Gu, I feel aggrieved too!"
"But the old leaders have said that it must be published in newspapers as soon as possible. We have to wait until next month to publish in October, and there is no time at all!"
"I also fought for an additional issue, but the old leader said it was mainly because of influence. He was worried that our "October" would not be able to get the first shot, so we would replace it with "People's Literature"!"
Feng's mother heard this and said with a calm expression: "Influence? How come our "October" is worse than his "People's Literature"! Their "People's Literature"..."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, a go, wake up! "People's Literature"... we really can't compare, we have to recognize this, we have to recognize it!"
Who knows what nonsense Teacher Gu would say when he was angry. Liu Xinwu was so frightened that he quickly interrupted and waved his hands to stop him. He could not say any more!
"No, I'll go to the ministry to find Mr. Wu and try to fight for it!" Feng's mother turned around and left.
"No, no, no, no! Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu! Stop her, stop her, and stop her quickly, Teacher Gu!"
Seeing that Feng's mother was going crazy and wanted to rush to the department to get angry, Liu Xinwu was even more frightened. He repeatedly called out to his colleagues who were watching the fun outside and stopped them first!
Awaken, wake up!
Yesterday, Mr. Mao almost pointed at Liu Xinwu and scolded him. Where is your consciousness?
Now that Teacher Gu has really gone to the department to make a fuss, it’s over!
"Teacher Gu, Teacher Gu, calm down, listen to Old Liu and listen to Old Liu to continue talking!"
"It's not Old Liu, what on earth is going on? Is it really for People's Literature?" Wang Shimin, the leader of the editorial team, stopped them and looked at Liu Xinwu again and asked.
"Hey! This is actually my fault! If we should have listened to Teacher Gu at that time, we would have made the decision and published the article directly. How could we wait for Lao Zhang from "People's Literature"!"
Liu Xinwu sighed when he thought of this. If he wanted to blame it, he was not decisive enough at the time. He always wanted to be conservative and ask for instructions from his superiors first.
But who knew that the manuscript was passed and nothing happened to their "October"!
"Isn't there two articles?! This one is for People's Literature, so let's change it to another one!" Wang Shimin asked again!
"Uh...right!"
"Teacher Gu, why don't you let Xuemin go and get the novella from Li Qingquan's hand?"
"Don't you know, after the meeting yesterday, what Li Qingquan said was to appease me? That was... fucked up!"
