Chapter 181 Noji Xiaozhengrong, Youhuang leans against the green
"What did he tell you?"
"Nothing said." Han Fei opened her watery eyes and professionally helped Shi Shuqiu hide it.
“Why is it so mysterious if you don’t say anything?” Xu Rongrong looked suspicious.
“You have to have a little secret, right?”
“Shi Shuqiu and your little secret?”
“It sounds so weird!”
The three of them walked out of the coffee shop. When Xu Rongrong was not paying attention in front, Zhao Peilin pulled Han Fei aside and asked in a low voice:
"Why on earth is Shi Shuqiu looking for you?"
Han Fei opened her eyes wide and sipped her coffee. Coffee: "Nothing, didn't I just say that?"
"A cup of milk tea."
"Two cups."
"Okay." Zhao Peilin readily agreed.
“He asked me to withdraw a manuscript.”
After Han Fei finished explaining Shi Shuqiu’s purpose, Zhao Peilin sneered, so fiercely that Han Fei couldn’t help but shudder.
"This boy, knowing that he is afraid, does not dare to touch Wang Zixu anymore."
Han Fei blinked: "Why is he afraid of Wang Zixu?"
Zhao Peilin did not answer her, only said: "Send me a copy of his manuscript."
Han Fei said: "How can this be done?"
“10 cups of milk tea.”
“One month of milk tea.”
“Okay, put it on the prince’s account.” Zhao Pei Lin gritted his teeth, "You are still so ruthless in studying journalism!"
Han Fei was disdainful: "The one you studied in literature is the White Lotus? Don't laugh at the bald man who has dysentery."
While the two were chatting, a man walked up from behind and said, "Classmate, classmate, could you please tell me how to get to the Cultural Research Center?"
Han Fei and Zhao Peilin looked at each other. The man in front of him was wearing a gray corduroy suit, his hair was combed up, and he looked old-fashioned with a hint of cynicism, a bit like a secret service agent at an underground transportation station.
"Oh, it's right next to the big work. Go out from the side door of the library and walk eight hundred meters along the mountain path. We will go there later. What are you going to do?"
The man said: "I am going to attend the seminar. Are you going to attend the seminar too?"
Zhao Peilin said: "We are students, that is, we are just joining in the fun, and we are not qualified to enter."
Xu Rongrong heard the commotion behind, and turned around and said enthusiastically: "The people you are discussing in the seminar are still our classmates!"
"Yes, I heard that he is a student at school, young "You are promising."
Zhao Peilin reached out and said, "You must be a well-known writer. As a student of the literature department, I am very interested in your world. What is your name?"
The man quickly shook his hand: "I am the editor of "Huajian" magazine, Ji Shaofei."
Zhao Peilin was about to ask for his contact information when Ji Shaofei suddenly turned his head, said sorry, and ran away.
"Old Hao! Wait for me! Hao Chengliang!"
A man with oily hair and pink face in front suddenly turned around, saw it was him, turned around and walked away quickly.
Ji Shaofei chased after him, shouting loudly: "Old Hao, don't leave! Did you quit "Fire in the Stone"?"
As the voice faded away, the person disappeared.
Xu Rongrong looked confused: "What's going on?"
Zhao Peilin’s face was grimacing, and every muscle in his face was exerting force. He said in a sultry tone: “Does the whole world know about it?~”
“What do you know? What? Your tone is weird."
"It's nothing~~"
Ji Shaofei lost track of him, but he saw the "big job" that the students just said. The full name of "Dahuo" is "College Student Activity Center". Ordinary college students may not come here once or twice in their lifetime.
Ji Shaofei was looking for the side door and walked along the mountain road. It was very difficult all the way. When he arrived at a parking lot, a black car came out from behind and parked next to it. A familiar face got out of the car.
"Teacher Fang, are you here too?...Hey, Mr. Shi, are you here too?"
Shi Tonghe and Fang Hanlin both got off the car and faced Shi Tonghe With an inquiring look, Fang Hanlin introduced him: "This is the editor of "Flower Room", Ji Shaofei. I have taught him before."
Ji Shaofei nodded: "Teacher Fang is a tutor. My mentor when I entered the industry.”
“I’ve passed.” Fang Hanlin smiled and waved, “You’re here to attend the seminar too?”
Seeing that he was young, Shi Tonghe nodded to him as a greeting, straightened his suit, and walked in with ease.
Fang Hanlin asked: "Tonghe, will you go in with us?"
"I won't go in. I'm a bit sensitive going in with my identity. It makes it seem like I'm here to suppress you, and it's hard to even criticize you normally." Shi Tonghe laughed.
Although he said that, the purpose of his coming was to get more compliments at the seminar, but everyone else was already here, and it would be a bit too explicit to go in.
Fang Hanlin advised: "You're all here, just go in and take a look and say hello to your old friends. If you don't say so yourself, no one will think so. Be really worried about the impact. The worst is, you won't leave before the seminar officially starts."
Shi Tonghe thought for a while and felt that what he said was reasonable. He nodded and the three of them walked into the venue together.
As soon as he entered the venue, a man came up to him and greeted him enthusiastically: "Teacher Shi!..."
His voice stopped suddenly because he saw Ji Shaofei beside him.
This person is Hao Chengliang. When Ji Shaofei saw it was him, his mouth quickly opened to his cheeks, and a warm feeling of happiness burst out from the bottom of his heart.
Shi Tonghe also smiled gently, took the initiative to grab Hao Chengliang's hand, shook it again and again: "Editor Hao, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
Fang Hanlin said: "This is Editor Hao from "The Ancient City"? So brother Tonghe is so familiar with him?"
"Yes, Editor Hao has a good relationship with me and has helped me a lot."
Hao Chengliang whispered: "Just call me Xiao Hao."
Several people walked in while talking. Hao Chengliang always felt a chill on his neck. When he looked back, he found Ji Shaofei grinning like a clown, staring at him, which made his back numb.
Seeing that Hao Chengliang finally looked at him, Ji Shaofei said: ""Fire in the Stone"..."
"Shut up!"
Fang Hanlin and Shi Tonghe had just found their seats and sat down. When they heard their voices, they raised their eyebrows, pointed at Ji Shaofei and asked: "Xiao Ji, what did you just say? "Fire in the Stone"? Are you paying attention to this work too?"
Ji Shaofei hurriedly sat down next to him: "Yes, the headline novel in this issue of "Get" stole Gu Zao's limelight. He published 200,000 words in one go. Everyone was here. Discuss who the author is. "
Fang Hanlin was about to speak when a girl who looked like a student came over and said, "Sorry, this is the venue, it's still in the setup stage, trouble..." Before the girl could finish her words, she was pulled away by a woman: "Oh, what are you talking about? This is Teacher Shi Tonghe!"
Shi Tonghe raised his hand and said: "You want to arrange the venue, right? How about we stay away for a while?"
The woman said: "No, no, teachers, you sit down Just rest here, our arrangement of the venue will not affect this place. "
Shi Tonghe didn't even move his butt. He didn't even want to leave.
After the student left, he said: "Brother Hanlin and I just discussed this work in the car. What is it called?..."Fire in the Stone", is it well written? What is it about?"
"It has a particularly amazing beginning. It starts from 1900. I thought it was a historical novel, like those in February River, but he pulled out two families at once. Just when I thought it was "White Deer Plain", there was another twist in the back. I turned to the end and took a look and found that he actually wrote all the way to the founding of New China, and he has not stopped writing, to be continued!"
Fang Hanlin said: "From what you said, it is a huge work?"
"It is undoubtedly a huge work." Ji Shaofei said categorically, "I just don't know how big it is, and I don't know how many more will follow."
"Have you finished reading it?"
"I haven't finished reading it. I started reading it as soon as I got it in my hand. Other editors in our editorial department are reading it. When I go back after the meeting, they should be able to read one-third of it." Too few, and I can't find out anything about him, which means there is no such person in the literary world." After speaking, Ji Shaofei winked at Hao Chengliang, "Editor Hao must know something, why don't I come to him in a hurry to ask for information?" /p>
Fang Hanlin raised his eyebrows: "Does Editor Hao know him? You have to introduce him to me. Our editorial department is trying to find out about him."
Ji Shaofei was surprised: "The teacher also wants to rob people?"
"This kid, how can this be robbing people? We know more authors, and the authors know more editors, how can this be robbing people?"
Ji Shaofei begged: "Teacher, our magazine now lacks such writers who can control long-form work. Or, our editor-in-chief is just about to offer a high-priced reward for a long novel. Can you be so generous as to give this author to us?" Fang Hanlin sneered and thought to himself, it is definitely impossible to give up. Their editorial department has sent someone to contact the author. Maybe all the manuscripts have been booked by now, otherwise I can sit here and chat with you leisurely? Little apprentice, you are still young!
Fang Hanlin said: "It's useless for you to ask me to be flattering. Potential new authors have emerged and everyone wants to grab them. Besides, if I don't contact you, other magazines won't target them? Didn't you say that Hao Chengliang also knows him? Why don't you ask him to flatter himself?"
Ji Shaofei was originally feeling bitter and regretting himself. The big mouth revealed the news. When Fang Hanlin said this, he became happy again. He turned around and looked at Hao Chengliang and said, "He? He doesn't need it. Editor Hao has already done it."
Hao Chengliang looked at him with a grimace, muttered "Don't tell me" in a low voice, and shook his head at him quickly and slightly, but Ji Shaofei still couldn't hold it in.
“Don’t you know? This manuscript was originally submitted to him, but he rejected it!”
Fang Hanlin was stunned: "Is there still such a thing?"
"Well! If you ask him, the news has gone crazy among the editors. I just wanted to ask him about the details of this matter!"
Fang Hanlin turned to look at Hao Chengliang: "Really?"
What Hao Chengliang had been worried about for a long time finally happened, and he forced a smile, which was uglier than crying.
“Ahem...His manuscript was indeed submitted to me at first, but then I read the version he submitted for "Get", and it was different from the original version..."< /p>
Ji Shaofei slapped his thigh and immediately became happy: "You really quit? Hey, this is so exciting! Old Hao, you are so awesome!"
He gave Hao Chengliang a thumbs up fiercely, but Hao Chengliang felt that every time his thumb hit the bottom of his lungs, he was about to vomit.
Fang Hanlin frowned and said, "Are you more cautious about rejecting manuscripts now? How do you know it was him who rejected the manuscript? The author said it himself?"
He is an old editor and thinks more about it. If it is said by the author himself, it means that the author has a somewhat arrogant personality and will retaliate, making it difficult to cooperate in the future.
Ji Shaofei shook his head: "No, I heard what Yang Yin said. We have a small group. Yang Yin complained in the group that he lost a manuscript in his hand and it was on the headline of "Get", so we ran to read it."
Fang Hanlin asked: "Who is Yang Yin?"
"It's the editor of "Yangtze River"."
"Why is there something about "Yangtze River" again?"
Shi Tonghe sat aside and listened more and more something was wrong, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
"This manuscript was first submitted to "The Ancient City", which was rejected by editor Hao. Later, it was submitted to "The Yangtze River". Because "The Ancient City" was withdrawn, "Yangtze River" was also under pressure, so it was rejected. Unexpectedly, "Obtained" was not under pressure, so it was rejected. Got it. Is that what happened, Editor Hao?”
Hao Chengliang almost shrank into a ball, and muttered: “...There are changes, the changes are quite big...The original version is not..."
After hearing this, Fang Hanlin was also happy. Everyone would be happy to hear about the rejection of an earth-shattering manuscript, especially if it was rejected by another editorial department.
Shi Tonghe interrupted them and said: "Who wrote this "Fire in the Stone" you are talking about? What is the author's name?"
"My name is Wang Zixu."
Shi Tonghe suddenly turned around.
He looked at Hao Chengliang again in a daze, and found that the other person's eyes were as moist as a camel staring at him. When they looked at each other, he understood the other person's eyes - it turned out to be a look for help.
He didn’t understand it before.
Shi Tonghe swallowed, sat up straight, and said: "I haven't even finished reading the work. Is it too early to say yes? Ji Shaofei, are you usually so lax in reviewing manuscripts?"
Suddenly being labeled a hat, Ji Shaofei lost most of his flames and said: "This, this work "Getting" has made headlines, it must be very..."
""Getting" "It's a matter of "Getting". Do you, professional editors, want to follow others' opinions? "Isn't there a time when "Getting" made a mistake? ” Fang Hanlin said carefully at the side: "Xiaoji is indeed a bit unreliable. To evaluate a work, you must look at it as a whole, or at least finish it. However, in such a long series of "Get", there are indeed very few mistakes..."
Shi Tonghe realized that he had gone too far, straightened himself up, and said: "I will also look for this work and have a look. I hope it will be as good as you said. Today's young generation can write many good works, but the soil is not as good as ours at that time. It’s different, there are a lot of deformities, and it’s easy to be unsure about the general direction. "
Ji Shaofei looked at him, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart, and said that he had to watch it before he could evaluate it. This old guy made an evaluation before he even read it.
Shi Tonghe said to Hao Chengliang again: "Xiao Hao, you don't have to blame yourself. Rejection is the right of every editor. If you do, you can do it. Don't take it too seriously."
Hao Chengliang looked up at Shi Tonghe gratefully, only to find that his eyes were cold, without any warmth at all, and even extremely cold. His scalp was numb and his heart skipped a beat.
It was only then that he realized that Shi Tonghe meant not only to rescue him, but also to warn him not to lead him into the water.
At this moment, there was a burst of human voices at the door. He looked towards the door, and his heart was shocked again: he saw two beauties entering the door one after another, and Wang Zixu showed his majestic head at the door.
