"Answering the phone, answering the call......"

Zhuang Yan was just browsing the rental information on the Internet, when suddenly the phone rang, and he looked at the caller ID, it was his duckling.

That's right, I'm afraid no one else will call him except the duck.

Speaking of which,This mobile phone ringtone is still set by the duck.,The previous solemn character was wooden and introverted.,The ringtones of the mobile phone are all built-in.,Later, the duck couldn't look at it.,So he changed his ringtone.,Including the funny alarm ringtone.。

For the funny ringtones, the duck is called beautiful, to add a little fun to Zhuang Yan's boring life.

"Oh, duck?" Zhuang Yan answered the phone.

"Ah Yan, guess where I am?" the duck's grinning voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Have you arrived in Jinling?" Zhuang Yan guessed.

The duck was a little deflated, "It's really boring, I just got off the train and have a meal together in the evening." ”

For the meeting with the duck, Zhuang Yan was mentally prepared, so he nodded: "Okay, you know where I live, you can come to me directly." ”

The duck smiled and said, "You are so remote there, where can you eat, and there is a friend in the evening, let's go to the city to find a decent place." ”

"Friend?" Zhuang Yan was stunned, he didn't expect there to be others, "Who?"

The duck pretended to be mysterious and said: "I won't tell you first, you will know when you arrive, oh, I am out of the station, go to the city now, and you can hurry over." Oh, by the way, you clean up and don't make yourself look like a dead house. ”

After saying that, the duck hung up the phone, Zhuang Yan didn't know what medicine was sold in his gourd, shook his head and put the phone down.

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhuang Yan arrived at the place where he had just made an appointment with the duck.

It was a restaurant in the city, and when he went, Zhuang Yan saw a tall and thin man standing at the door.

Wearing a white shirt with a slightly upturned upper lip, Zhuang Yan recognized it as a duck.

The duck also saw Zhuang Yan, and when he got closer, the duck looked Zhuang Yan up and down with a smile, and said, "Tsk, it seems that you have been doing well recently, and you look much plump." ”

"yes, I'm going to be heavier than you soon. Zhuang Yan said with a smile, and then he raised his head to look at the hotel sign and said, "How can you find such a high-end restaurant for a meal, what kind of friend is it?"

The duck grabbed Zhuang Yan's arm and walked inside, "Don't worry, it's not my business friend, it's for your business, let's go, people are waiting inside." You're really telling you to come early, it's so late. ”

"It's not dark yet. ”

The three of them ate, and the duck even opened a box, and when the two of them entered, Zhuang Yan saw a slightly chubby bald man sitting on the head.

Duck introduced with a smile: "This is the editor-in-chief Liu of Jinling Literature Publishing House, and he is a cultural person." Editor-in-chief Liu, this is what I told you about my hair and Zhuang Yan, I have loved literature since I was a child, and I will take care of you in the future. ”

Editor-in-Chief Liu sat on the chair without moving his buttocks, but nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

Arrogant attitude, but when he heard that it was the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, Zhuang Yan looked at the duck strangely, he had been thinking about the publication of "Alive" for the past two days, but he didn't expect the duck to think of him in front.

It's just that how did this guy know that he was going to publish a book, and he didn't tell him about "Alive" himself.

I didn't know the situation, Zhuang Yan politely said hello, and sat down under the arrangement of the duck.

As soon as he sat down, the duck said to Zhuang Yan: "Ah Yan, aren't you looking for a job? Editor-in-chief Liu is the editor-in-chief of Jinling Literature Publishing House, and he is a well-known person in the cultural circle. Jinling Literature Publishing House has been recruiting editors recently, so I mentioned your matter to Editor-in-Chief Liu, and I brought you over to meet with me today, which can be regarded as an interview. ”

Editor-in-chief Liu didn't squint beside him, but he unconsciously straightened up, he was the editor-in-chief good, but he had to add a subword in front, and there was a real editor-in-chief above him.

But this time the club recruited editors, he was indeed in charge, a few days ago the duck met him, the duck moved his mind, wanted to find a job for his brother, so today the two sides asked the two sides out for a meal.

Before Zhuang Yan could speak, Editor-in-Chief Liu spoke: "Originally, when recruiting people in the society, it must be selected at all levels, not that the elite can't get in, but since you are Xiao Yang's friend, I will naturally give him this face." ”

Yang Zhao smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, thank you Editor-in-Chief Liu, as long as Ah Yan enters the publishing house, I will definitely be thanked." ”

Editor-in-Chief Liu raised the corners of his mouth, but said righteously: "Thank you, I am also thinking about the publishing house, if Xiaozhuang is not qualified, I will not open the back door." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm cheesy. ”

Zhuang Yan sat on the side, watching the two of them talk about their own affairs, and was a little speechless in his heart. He knew that the duck had good intentions, and two days ago he asked himself if he had found a job, and he didn't tell him about "Alive", which made him think that he was still looking for a job, so he thought about pulling himself.

He coughed lightly and said, "Uh, I'm sorry, I'm going to interject, I don't really want to work in a publishing house." ”

The two were stunned at the same time, and Editor-in-Chief Liu's face immediately became gloomy, he looked at the duck and said, "Xiao Yang, what's going on, are you playing tricks on me?" ”

The duck was also anxious, and hurriedly asked Zhuang Yan: "Ah Yan, what do you mean by this, didn't you say that you wouldn't write books before, do you want to work in a publishing house? Now such a good opportunity, why don't you want it?"

Zhuang Yan looked at the anxious duck, and sighed in his heart, the Zhuang Yan who wanted to work in the publishing house was no longer there, and now the Zhuang Yan in front of you has long been dropped.

He explained softly: "I've been writing books lately, and I've got a little money, so I don't want to look for a job for the time being. ”

"I don't want to look for a job, but it's ......"

Editor-in-chief Liu heard Zhuang Yan's words next to him, and said disdainfully: "Young man, it's good to have ideas, but you also have to do what you can, I heard Xiao Yang say that you wrote some articles before, but there was no response." I know best what you little authors know best, you dream of becoming famous every day, but you live a precarious life. For example, half of the books published by our publishing house each month are self-funded. ”

The duck said to Zhuang Yan embarrassedly: "I told Editor-in-Chief Liu about your situation before, and I ......"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand: "It's okay, I know you're doing it for my good." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yan also stood up, he had a lot of opinions about this editor-in-chief Liu from the beginning, and the other party's words were all superior, as if the two of them were begging for food in front of him.

However, in order to take care of the duck's face, he didn't get mad on the spot, but said lightly: "Duck, I still don't eat this meal, lest a little author like us affect the mood of Editor-in-Chief Liu here, let's have a meal together when you have time." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, and the editor-in-chief Liu said in a weird manner behind him: "Young people, don't be too arrogant, be careful if you touch the nail." But I'm a generous person, I like to give young people opportunities, if you want to publish a book at your own expense, remember to come to me, I will give you a discount. ”

Zhuang Yan paused, and then walked out of the box without saying a word.
