Chapter 460: Xiao Li Flying Knife is finished, and Boss Xiaoliu is on vacation
Two people have lived together for a long time, whether it is in life or psychologically, mutual accommodation and concession are inevitable, and it is not uncommon for many people in real life to temporarily lose their dreams for the other half.
The girl goes to the city where he works in order to be with the boy, the boy accepts some job changes in order to wait for his girlfriend nearby, the boy gets used to the girl's wayward nonsense, the girl accepts the boy's smelly feet and snores, and so on.
The relationship between Yang Lilu and Liu Jingting also belongs to this situation from a certain point of view, Yang Lilu herself has a high literary and artistic literacy, and is basically competent for magazine editing, and it is more than enough to be a translator for Liu Jingting, so for now, Yang Lilu's real job is only to translate the "Harry Potter" series of books, and by the way, handle some important emails from abroad for Liu Jingting. For a female scholar who is likely to memorize the Oxford Advanced Dictionary, it is obviously also a condescending talent.
On the surface, the combination of willows is very perfect now, working together, living together, fighting side by side, and being in the same boat through thick and thin.
However, the work of novels, film and television is actually Liu Jingting's ideal and favorite career, as for Yang Lilu, the job she really wants to do should be a translator.
This is the affirmative conclusion that Liu Jingting has just reached, in fact, there have been such inferences before, what is the most desirable job in Yang Lilu's heart, is it really the current assistant and translator?
However, after thinking that translating novels is also part of the translation work, Yang Lilu did not learn uselessly, and the two had just been together for a short time, and the sweetness and intimacy were at their peak, and other things were secondary contradictions. didn't think about this issue in depth, until Tang Rui arrived, Liu Jingting watched her and Yang Lilu talk about translation together. Looking at the glint in her eyes, I finally understood what she was really interested in.
"However, it is very hard to be a translator, and you are willing to let me work so hard?"
Yang Lilu met Liu Jingting's encouraging and gentle gaze, knowing that he was not a casual statement, but a decision made after careful consideration, and she was both moved and a little guilty in her heart. I also asked jokingly.
"But if you don't do it, you'll always feel regret in your heart, right?" Liu Jingting asked rhetorically.
Yang Lilu no longer refutes. I bow my head in the form of being seen through.
"You don't have to feel guilty, I can only be happy to see that you can fulfill the ideal in your heart, and doesn't it mean that 'simultaneous interpretation' is the temple of every student who learns to translate?" Liu Jingting spread out his palms and drew a circle.
"But ......"
"Don't. You just do it. One day when you are tired and want to quit the world, you will start again as the translator and assistant of this boss, and you will not have any regrets at that time. ”
Yang Lilu stared at Liu Jingting for a while, and then nodded slightly.
Simultaneous interpreting is known as the "language collar" in the translation industry, and it is the most expensive part-time worker, with a day's salary even higher than that of a white-collar worker.
Of course, Yang Lilu went to translate, not for salary. Because if you want to compare the salary, the remuneration of being Liu Jingting's translator can be called platinum among platinum. It's not the same.

At the end of June, the school started the summer vacation one after another, and after Zhou Lai was busy with school work, he began to move with Wang Jianshan, and other colleagues helped pack together, and the atmosphere was not as sad as imagined.
Kang Lingyue joked: "I was going to say that when all of you are in pairs, I will take the initiative to move out, but I was unexpectedly preempted by you, so I have to continue to live." ”
Liu Jingting sat on the table that had been cleaned up and said: "In addition, I would like to announce one more thing, I plan to start closing the publication of "Craftsman Record" after the September issue is published, and we will have a month-long holiday with the National Day. ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Liu Jingting.
"The Amorous Swordsman" was released in October, and the magazine was closed for one issue in October. ”
In the past, everyone was somewhat reluctant to suspend the magazine for a long holiday, feeling that it was not in line with the normal operation of the magazine, but now even Chang Youdao began to look forward to the National Day holiday, and was ready to take this opportunity to travel with Tang Rui, and then completely win it, so there was no objection to Liu Jingting's proposal.
Wang Jianshan said: "Then I will be equivalent to taking marriage leave in advance." ”
Liu Jingting smiled and nodded.
Kang Lingyue glanced at Liu Jingting and asked, "Do you have any plans after "Xiao Li Flying Knife" is over?"
Liu Jingting pressed his hands on the table, jumped off the table, and said: "I plan to take a vacation for half a year to a year or even longer, in short, I want to leave this circle for a while, and then accompany Lulu to study in the United States, what about you?"
Kang Lingyue didn't answer, but asked, "Are you going to study in the United States?"
"yes. ”
Kang Lingyue thought for a while, and then said, "I'm going to travel with Aunt Qing." ”
Xu Qing nodded.
"Su Jin," Liu Jingting turned to Su Jin with a strange smile, and said, "Next, the message should be intentionally or unintentionally paved for the closure of the publication, so that everyone will not rebound too much at that time." ”
Su Jin nodded and said, "Got it." ”
"Do you have any plans for a long vacation?"
"I haven't thought that far ahead, but I want to stay at home and write about our editorial department, about my own feelings about working at Craftsman. ”
Liu Jingting's eyes lit up, and he said: "This topic is good, why don't you use this topic to make a book, what information you need, you can directly mention it in the group." ”
Su Jin was stunned, she didn't think about this, she summarized and sorted out the previous 'Editorial Department Story' column, and then used the October holiday not to write some content, she could publish a book, and because the book would involve a lot of Liu Jingting's private affairs (at least the advertisement can be like this), it is not an exaggeration to sell 100,000 copies.
For Su Jin, the royalty of a book with sales of 100,000 copies can be nearly 150,000, which is equal to her salary for a year, and considering the boss's usual generosity, it may be more.
Liu Jingting has this mention, and the purpose is obvious, which is to make some extra money for her.
"How is it, Misu, do you have confidence?" asked Liu Jingting.
Su Jin nodded hurriedly and said, "No problem." ”
……
In August, the serialization of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" caused a wave of heated discussions in the online world because of a dialogue between Ah Fei and Li Xunhuan, and finally affected the academic community and the entire literary and artistic circles.
In the fourteenth chapter of the novel, it is written that Li Xunhuan was mistaken for a "plum blossom thief", and was pointed at the acupoint under Long Xiaoyun's conspiracy, Ah Fei was ready to save him with a sword, and had such a conversation with Li Xunhuan:
[Ah Fei Dao: You mean to say that if I want to become famous, I'd better learn to be obedient first, right?
Li Xunhuan said: It's not bad at all, as long as you are willing to give up all the things that are in the limelight to these heroes, these heroes will think that you are young and old, and you are a talent that can be created, and in another ten or twenty years, when these heroes are in the coffin, it will be your turn to become famous. 】
Li Xunhuan's complaint not only exhausted the hypocrisy of the heroes in the book, but also exposed and ridiculed the ugly phenomena in some circles and industries today.
After the serialization was released, there were those who applauded and those who were uncomfortable to refute.
However, there are more than one or two similar wisdom-filled complaints in the novel, which is why Li Xunhuan is called an "observer" above other characters, and the novel's criticism and satire on the dark phenomena of society also illustrate the positive value orientation of this novel from another aspect.
The controversy lasted until the end, and finally ended with a certain professor who concluded that "the serialization of novels needs plot ups and downs to create topics to maintain the popularity and freshness of the serialization".
The two do not hurt each other, take the golden mean, anyway, Liu Jingting has no interest in participating in the discussion at all.
Just when the dust will settle on this topic, the September issue of "Craftsman's Record" suddenly announced three blockbuster news:
1. The magazine will be closed for one month, that is, in October, "Craftsman's Record" has a bye;
2. "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" will be released on October 15;
3. Liu Jingting will stop writing for a year to rest and accumulate state, and the new work may have to wait a year or more before it can be seen with everyone.
As soon as the three news came out, the online world that had just fallen silent boiled again, especially the news that Liu Jingting announced that he would stop writing for a year or more, and the shock intensity directly covered up the influence of the remaining two announcements.
What makes people laugh and cry is that Liu Jingting's vacation, after some discussion, is no longer "a normal rest after continuous work and double opening", but "a reflection of the powerlessness of the entire martial arts novel category".
However, as Liu Jingting said at the beginning, this time he will no longer care about any controversy.
"This good meeting, enjoy each other, he will meet again in the rivers and lakes in the future, and then he will be happy, don't be a surprise. ”
Before Liu Jingting went on vacation, he updated this paragraph on his personal microblog.
