Chapter 54 Submission
Columbia student dormitory.
110 rooms.
"Mr. Ted. ”
Matthew had eaten the sandwich, and at the moment he was in a trance, and he didn't see that the young Ted in front of him was not a 'sir' or 'teacher' at all, and he was still looking at him nervously.
"Wow. ”
Ted sniffed, gave a look of surprise, and quipped, "Someone's eating a sandwich." ”
"What?"
Matthew was shocked and said, "No, no, I don't even know what a sandwich tastes like, my parents will donate a lot of money to the school." ”
Ted:......
Knock knock.
"Hi, I'm Adam and I'm staying in room 111 next door. ”
Adam knocked on the door, and when he saw that the two of them were indeed his impressions, he couldn't help but smile.
"Hi Adam, I'm Ted. ”
Ted is wearing glasses, a little handsome, and his expression does not have a future 'affectionate romance', and he looks relatively young and shy at the moment, and Adam knows that the main reason is that the other party has not yet scummed.
Without enough opponents, he naturally can't fade away from his youthfulness and practice his 'affectionate romance' routine.
"Matthew. ”
Another tall, nervous-looking boy squeezed out a smile.
"Hi Matthew. ”
Adam greeted him warmly.
Adam admires Matthew more than Ted.
is different from the 'affectionate romance' practiced by Ted Zalang, the stupid big man in front of him is really affectionate and romantic.
Love only one woman in your life.
There is only one woman in his life.
Even fantasizing about other women, in the fantasy world, they are all old, and after the death of his lover, he was sad and sad, and was pushed down and comforted by the nurse who took care of him.
The real hand of the son grows old with the son.
Zhou Shuren said: Bad people don't like to be good people, but they like to be friends with good people very much.
Adam was convinced.
"Don't worry, Ted isn't a teacher, he's your new roommate. ”
Seeing that Matthew was still nervous, even though Ted put the salute on the top bunk and said that the top bunk belonged to him, Adam understood the power of the rice specialty sandwich and kindly reminded him.
"What?"
Matthew looked at Ted in surprise: "You're not a teacher?"
"When did I say I was a teacher?"
Ted complained, "Brother, how many sandwiches have you eaten? Eat less, and there's a welcome party in the evening." ”
"Didn't eat much. ”
Matthew let go of it now, smiled and took out the sandwich that he had hidden and hadn't finished eating, and handed it to Adam and Ted: "You guys take a bite too?"
"No, thanks, I don't touch this kind of thing. ”
Adam waved his hand and firmly refused.
Just kidding, this kind of cancer that cannot be controlled by a capitalist country, of course, he will not be able to touch it.
"I don't need to. ”
Ted waved his hand in disguise, but in a blink of an eye he pulled a larger sandwich out of his bag and laughed, "Because I have a better one." ”
"Well done, buddy. ”
Matthew immediately became even more excited, pointing at Ted with both hands, and smiling, with the intimacy of a fellow practitioner.
“......”
The corners of Adam's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: "No wonder the two of them can become iron buddies, they both have the same hobbies...... Forget it, don't get involved, go and contribute. ”
"I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”
"Dude, remember the welcome party in the evening, I heard that there were a lot of beautiful chicks in it. ”
Matthew reminded loudly.
Adam gave the two of them a thumbs up and flashed decisively.
Random House.
Headquarters Building.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
As soon as Adam entered the hall, the front desk lady greeted him warmly.
"Well, who do you look for to submit?"
Adam smiled.
"Sir, it's amazing that you're a writer. ”
The front desk lady sincerely praised: "You can go to the seventh floor for submission, the editorial office is there, the editor-in-chief of Cerf happens to be there now, sir, your work must be very exciting, I can't wait to see your work published." ”
"Thank you, you won't be disappointed. ”
Adam, who skillfully copes with the enthusiastic young lady, took the elevator to the editorial office.
Hall.
"I'm also here to contribute......"
"Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Nope. ”
"Then please mail your work, we will have someone to check it. ”
"But how could that man get in?"
"He has an appointment. ”
“......”
A middle-aged man with a big belly walked out of the hall in frustration, muttering: "Damn! Now you have to look at your face when you write novels, he is a little hairy boy who knows what novels, doesn't he look a little handsome, and they all take the initiative to go through the back door for him, hum! Today you ignore my love, and tomorrow I want you to be unattainable." ”
Seventh floor.
Newsroom.
Office of Editor-in-Chief Jack Sayf.
Knock knock.
"Please come in. ”
"Hello, Mr. Cerf. ”
Adam pushed the door in and smiled at the middle-aged man sitting behind his desk, "My name is Adam Duncan, I am a student at Columbia, I have written a novel, and I would like to ask you to correct it." ”
"Oh, it's a columbia student. ”
Jack Cerf smiled, not looking displeased with Adam's sudden visit.
The reason, of course, is not because Adam is mediocre, but because Adam first identified himself, a columbia student.
Columbia University is an Ivy League school, located in New York, and its influence in New York is the largest, and the United States is an elite society, and the alumni association of famous schools is one of the pillar forms of elite groups.
Are those strong people who lie in krypton gold and enter prestigious schools really to learn those advanced theoretical knowledge?
No!
Of course not!
Most of them don't even bother to take many courses in high school, let alone the more boring and difficult college courses, and the most important purpose of going to college, especially to a prestigious school, is to make high-quality connections.
Zhou Shuren said: The four irons of life have carried guns together, passed through the window together, divided the dirt together, and light-to-light together.
The alumni of the famous school in the city will play almost completely in line with these four, so the identity of a student of a famous school can first make people look at you with admiration, so that they will not be too lazy to listen to you.
Because you may be able to meet someone big now or in the future.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty.
The people of the United States also understand this truth, but the premise is that you are also a graduate of a famous school.
Otherwise, it's basically not a counterattack stream, but a comedy stream.
"The First Clown of the Master of Mystery?"
Jack Cerf took the manuscript handed over by Adam, flipped the page, and said with a noncommittal smile: "It's still a series of novels, wait a minute, I'll take a look at it first." ”
Adam nodded, and sat there quietly, waiting for the other party to review the manuscript.
An hour later.
"What about the back?"
Jack Cerf closed the last page, asked subconsciously, then thought of something, and smiled casually: "As a novice, the writing is not bad, by the way, where have you written, have you finished the first part?"
"Of course. ”
Adam nodded, "But I think we can talk about publishing first?"
