Lin Chaoyang missed the time when Tao Yushu returned to his hometown very much. At that time, he thought it was just the beginning of his and Tao Yushu's happy life, but now he understands that it was clearly Tao Yushu's sugar-coated bomb to deceive him into coming to Yanjing.
Alas, what should I do if there is such a domineering wife in the stall?
I think that when Lin Chaoyang first started working, he was an involuntarily little prince. Later, when he got older and understood the workplace, he became discouraged and wanted to be a salted fish. But he was nothing compared to Tao Yushu now.
Great witch.
He didn't know what it was like when this girl was in school. Anyway, when she got home, she only had to eat and read and study, and it didn't take more than five minutes to go to the toilet. She sat at home all day on Sunday.
After turning off the lights at night, Lin Chaoyang sadly thought of the KPIs his father had set for him before coming to Yanjing.
The housing conditions of my father-in-law did not allow this. This is an objective reason. Tao Yushu was obsessed with studying and determined to become the king of scrolls. This was a subjective reason.
Dad, don’t blame your son for not living up to expectations, it’s really your daughter-in-law who is so good at it.
Please wait a little longer for your eldest grandson!
Tao Yushu gave up on Lin Chaoyang on the eleventh day, so he had no choice but to focus all his energy on creation and proactively proposed to the leadership of the library to be on duty on the eleventh day.
As a result of Tao Yushu's active involution, Lin Chaoyang had to passively involve involution. However, the colleagues in the library not only did not complain at all, but even praised him happily: Xiao Lin is really motivated!
Lin Chaoyang smiled brightly at the compliments from his colleagues, but his heart was bleeding:
I am so motivated because I have a good wife!
However, it is not without merit for Lin Chaoyang and his wife to be so involved.
After work on the day after National Day, Lin Chaoyang's second short story was freshly released. After a brief revision, it was mailed to Shanghai.
After he came back, he went to the school's finance department. After working for a month, he finally received his first salary in the library.
Forty-seven dollars!
Compared to his previous salary as a teacher at a team elementary school, his salary has doubled, and it’s still a corner. It’s really delicious to eat soft rice!
But when he thought that the money was just gone in his hands, Lin Chaoyang felt a little depressed.
Fortunately, Tao Yushu was quite particular and left him ten yuan every month, which left him four yuan in addition to lunch.
Zhou Yanru, the leader of the novel group of "Yanjing Literature and Art", knocked on the door of a house in the Tongzi Building in the courtyard of the Yanjing Municipal Cultural Bureau.
The house is a single room, and the room of more than ten square meters looks very messy. There are also a lot of luggage. It seems that this family has just moved in.
The owner of the house was an old comrade who looked to be nearly sixty years old, with a kind face. Zhou Yanru said to him: "Comrade Qingquan, I'm sorry to disturb you just after returning to Yanjing."
"You're welcome, drink some water." Li Qingquan poured her a glass of water.
With a few simple polite words, Zhou Yanru explained the purpose of her visit. She was here today for Lin Chaoyang's "Wrangler".
Due to personnel changes, the publication of the "Wrangler" article was suppressed by the editorial board.
There is no doubt about the quality of "The Wrangler". Zhou Yanru can be very responsible in saying that as long as this novel is published, it will definitely have a certain repercussions. I dare not say that it will be popular all over the country, but at least it will be a work that can make the author Lin Chaoyang famous in one fell swoop.
It is obviously a good work, but it still needs to be suppressed. Some people say, "After I leave, I won't care about the flood." But she is afraid that such a good work will be alienated from the author.
Liu Xinwu's question outside the Yanda Library that day made her feel a sense of crisis. Over the past year or so, domestic literary journals have resumed publication, and many have started publishing. Now every literary magazine is short of good manuscripts.
You don’t want good works or good authors, but publications do.
After returning from Yanda, Zhou Yanru communicated with the person in charge of the publication, but still had no results.
In desperation, she decided to change her mind.
Li Qingquan used to be the editorial director of "People's Literature". He was sent to Harbin a few years ago. This year he is ordinary and will return to Beijing to take over the position of head of "Yenjing Literature and Art".
Since the old leader is leaving, I can always find a new leader, right?
Although this is a bit against the rules, Zhou Yanru believes that this is the best way for the publication.
"Originally, you have just returned to Yanjing, so I shouldn't bother you. But I heard that you won't report to the editorial office until the end of the month. There are few good articles now, and even fewer that can have an impact. We, Yanjing Literature and Art, urgently need them.
This kind of manuscript opens up the situation.
I'll show it to you when you come to the editorial office. The manuscript still has to be queued up, maybe until January or February.
Moreover, when someone submits a manuscript, we always hold back and not publish it, because the author will have opinions. This time the manuscript is in our hands, and they won’t say anything.
But next time, will people still dare to vote for us?"
Zhou Yanru talked for a while, telling what happened, the context of her communication and her thoughts. Li Qingquan was silent for a moment after listening.
"Comrade Yan Ru, your considerations are reasonable."
After receiving Li Qingquan's affirmation, Zhou Yanru breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two communicated, Li Qingquan took the manuscript of "Wrangler" and started reading it.
He was a long-time smoker and smoked very hard. After reading the manuscript for a while, the room was filled with smoke.
Zhou Yanru is used to this, and there are many old smokers in the editorial department.
"It's really good! It's an excellent manuscript, and what's even more rare is the author. You said this is his debut novel, and his talent is extraordinary. Suppressing such a manuscript is not to send such a potential author to other places.
Are the publications chasing you away?"
He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and kicked it out.
"hair!"
"The organization asked me to report to the editorial office on the 23rd, and then I will publish it in the eleventh issue."
Li Qingquan made the final decision.
Zhou Yanru was overjoyed and said, "That's great. With your words, things will be easier for the author. I will contact him right now to revise and polish the manuscript."
Li Qingquan added: "Contact him privately about this matter..."
"I see."
Before the old leader leaves, the subordinates join forces with the new leader to cause trouble, which is taboo in any unit.
With Li Qingquan's permission, Zhou Yanru finally obtained Shang Fang's sword.
The next day was the weekend, so she ran to Yanda to find Chen Jiangong.
On the day when the May Fourth Literary Society was reestablished, at the end of the conversation between Zhou Yanru and Lin Chaoyang, he mentioned that Zhou Yanru should not mention his novel writing outside the editorial department.
If you need to contact him for anything, go to the Yanda Library and leave him a note, or go to Chen Jiangong.
Zhou Yanru was not sure whether Lin Chaoyang would go to work on Sunday, so she had to find Chen Jiangong first.
"Chaoyang is very motivated at work and is also at work on Sundays."
Chen Jiangong took Zhou Yanru to the library and asked the person at the front desk to pass a note to Lin Chaoyang who was stationed upstairs.
He came down after a while, and seeing the two people waiting at the front desk, Lin Chaoyang quickly lowered his voice, "Go out and say it, go out and say it!"
He turned around and said to the front desk: "Du Rong, please help me go to the roof for a while."
Arriving outside the library, Zhou Yanru took out the manuscript and said, "I have marked all the places that need to be revised, added or deleted in the manuscript. There are 16 places in total. The problems are not big. I will tell you briefly now. You can correct them before the 25th.
I'll send it over and we'll try to publish it in the eleventh issue."
"Yanjing Literature and Art" is a monthly magazine, published on the 10th of every month. The eleventh issue corresponds to November 10th. There is still one month to go, but we still have to throw away the finalization, proofreading, typesetting, printing, and mailing.
The actual time left for Lin Chaoyang to revise was only about half a month.
After explaining what needs to be modified, Zhou Yanru planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chaoyang grabbed her and said, "You will take the manuscript away later."
Chapter completed!
