Chapter 318: The editor complains, a three-year appointment(1/2)

Xu Qing bought a car, the white mini, and everyone praised the white car for its beauty and glamorousness. Liu Jingting also commented: "Tang Monk has a white dragon horse when he travels west, and Aunt Qing has a white wheel horse when he travels, which can be said to be a perfect match."

The serialization of "Journey to the West" has not yet reached the point where the White Dragon Horse is subdued, but several editors have long been accustomed to Liu Jingting's "novels are reflected into reality" and nodded with a smile.

Like all the owners who just got the car, Xu Qing smiled and first accepted everyone's praise calmly, then corrected: "This is not pure white, it is pepper white."

Several girls looked carefully and suddenly said, "Yes, it's indeed pepper white."

Liu Jingting and Chang Youdao were a little puzzled, and Chang Youdao smiled and said, "Women are so meticulous and talented in describing colors. Not long ago, a roommate of my family wanted to buy a bag for his girlfriend, so he asked his girlfriend what color he liked. As a result, the girl replied that she liked the green and tender kind of grass that had just sprouted for three to four days in spring. My roommate ran away on the spot, grabbed us everywhere and asked what color it was."

Green Pepper continued with a smile: "Is it just tender green? You guys are really impatient."

Liu Jingting stood aside and spread his hands, then suggested: "It just so happened that the magazine work has come to an end. Aunt Qing drove us to celebrate in a new car."

"No problem." Xu Qing agreed readily.

Kang Lingyue asked: "When will Aunt Qing get a driver's license in the exam?"

"Two years ago, I haven't driven a car for more than a year, so I just happened to practice my skills today."

Xu Qing said lightly, Liu Jingting's hand that was about to open the car door was hanging in the air. He looked back at Xu Qing and said, "How about we better take a taxi?"

Xu Qing smiled and scolded: "I went to study for a few days before I bought the car. I saw you timid."

"Aunt Qing, you can't blame Lao Liu for this. Everyone knows that a new dangerous creature has appeared on the road, called the female driver." Chang Youdao defended Liu Jingting.

"roll!"

Everyone got into the car with jokes, and Xu Qing reminded everyone: "Remember to wear a seat belt."

"I haven't called Banxian'er yet." Qingjiao said.

"There is something in her class." Kang Lingyue explained. Yu Guang subconsciously glanced at Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting was wearing his seat belt seriously, as if he didn't pay attention to everyone's conversation.

"puff……"

The car started, and everyone in the car was nervous, stopped talking, and focused on looking ahead.

Liu Jingting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked: "Do you have gained anything if you reopen the submission channel?"

This question opens Tang Monk's chatterbox.

Qingjiao was the first to answer: "There are many good submissions, and there are many authors who are not good enough. This morning, a contributor told me in an email that his goal is to surpass you and claim that he has studied you thoroughly. In time, he will definitely take you on the beach."

Liu Jingting pinched his earlobe, nodded, and made no comments.

Chang Youdao continued: "What's that? I have an author here who has never submitted a submission. First, he gave me a literary theory course and conducted a comprehensive analysis of Lao Liu and several of the most popular authors. He specially compared Lao Liu and Xue Muliang. Finally, when he talked about his submission, he told me that his work is a masterpiece of many schools, taking its essence and removing its dross. It can be said to be a masterpiece. If the magazine is willing to promote it, its future will be limitless."

Liu Jingting asked: "Have you read the manuscript?"

"Look."

"How many family leaders have you gained?"

Chang Youdao smiled and shook his head. He said, "What is the best way to make the best of all families? It is to learn the sentence structure of "Chu Liuxiang", imitate the language of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and then there are two more paragraphs of Xue Muliang's "Year Rings". What made me most goosebumps was that he pretended to be a spoof and pretended to be a warning that "the next paragraph will change" was so hard to bear to read."

"It is also a strange article to be able to imitate like it."

"No, it's just a pure four-dimensional image, and I can't grasp the key points at all. Even imitating Xue Muliang is not as good as it is."

Kang Lingyue continued: "I also encountered a similar one, with a note description for submissions, saying that his article learned from Yi Shui'an's philosophy, the grandeur of ancient medieval life, Liu Jingting's profoundness and Liyang's freedom and freedom. It can be said that he was surprised in the ordinary place, and he saw the same kind of righteousness far away."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I actually took a photo with me."

"It is indeed a way of flattery for editors, but we have underestimated our professionalism. Have you ever seen a popular author who comes from flattery?"

"What I cannot accept most is actually some authors who talk about their ideals to me. When they move, writing is everything to him and his life. He can do nothing to do for writing. Deep down, I really want to tell these contributors not to use writing as an excuse to escape reality. We are not doing a good Chinese writer talent show, what's the use of those useless?"

"Yes, the most disastrous thing is that they sometimes cannot recognize this. They think that he is not as popular as a big shot, because we don't want to package him, and even think that no one in this world can understand him. We slags have no idea about gold and jade."

Liu Jingting said: "When we meet these authors, we should focus on encouragement. In our magazine industry, in addition to providing readers with good content for food and clothing, we also aim to explore potential authors."

Everyone nodded seriously, and Liu Jingting continued: "As for someone who asked whether to quit his job and write full-time, he replied that it is not recommended to do this before it is confirmed that writing can bring stable income. After all, contacting society is also a way to accumulate writing resources. It is difficult to last for a long time when working behind closed doors."

Xu Qing said: "No matter what, as people's requirements for quality of life are increasing, freelancing will be a trend in the future. To be honest, if I had no writing, I would not be able to live as easy as I am now."

As he said that, he turned to look at Liu Jingting, "You are too anxious."

Liu Jingting nodded and received teaching.

"Take a turn ahead and you'll get to the place."

...

After everyone arrived at the restaurant, the topic jumped to Aunt Qing’s driving experience, and then changed several times.

According to the agreement, everyone is not allowed to play with their mobile phones during meals, but as soon as they sat down in their seats, Liu Jingting received a call. The number shows that it comes from the United States.

Liu Jingting shook his cell phones with everyone apologized, then stood up and left his seat.

"Why do you remember to call at this time?" Liu Jingting didn't ask who the other party was, and directly raised such a question.

"Other times, you are either busy or I am busy, and - I'm thinking about how to tell you." It was Hu Xiaomi.

"say what?"

"You don't know if you don't say secret words?"

"You mean Yang Lilu?"

"Or who else?"

"you say."

"I made an agreement with her. About you."

“…”

"You cooperate."

"Oh, what agreement?"

"A gentleman's appointment, fair competition, rob you."

“…”

"Why don't you talk? I'm calling internationally for a long distance, and I don't want to listen to your breathing."

"Then what did you agree on?"

"She made me think about whether to accept this challenge. She promised to keep my distance from you until I answered her."

"No wonder." Liu Jingting smiled bitterly.

"Are you angry?"

"What?"

"This agreement, aren't you angry?"

“No foothold in anger.”

"Do you know how I responded to her?"

“…”

"Come again!"

"How did you reply?"

"I said that I will not reply to her after I graduate, that is to say, she will have to wait three years. After all, this kind of thing will have to return to her own territory before she can make a decision."

"Um."

"Are you angry now?"

Liu Jingting smiled.

"What do you mean by laughing? I called the international long distance, not to listen to your laughter."

"Are you testing me, this agreement?"

"Part of the reason is mainly for myself. She went to the United States to ask me about this sentence. It was nothing more than asking for peace of mind. I asked her to wait for three years, and it was also for my own thoughts. You must think it's very scheming, right?"

"No."

"Is it right or wrong?"

"I have all the mistakes, and it's okay for you to do it."

"That's right."

"Are you angry?"

“…”

"So you call international long distance..."

"Liu Jingting, I ask you... I have already made it so clear. Are you... what is your attitude? Why are you not angry?"

"What can I do? I have been reflecting on these issues recently."

"So, did you faint some time ago because of this?"

"possible."
