In "Time", a veteran youth literature magazine with a history of more than 20 years, Bai Xiong can only be regarded as a newcomer. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info out of interest, Bai Xiong joined "Time" after graduating from college and became an editor who deals with authors, and it has been almost three years now.

To be honest, White Bear is also a little confused now. Before becoming an editor, she naively thought that the blue brick house located in the old streets and alleys of Haicheng, the financial center, gathered a group of literary and artistic young people who love words, like stories, and are accompanied by a cup of tea.

It's just that after entering the "Time" magazine, all her fantasies are disillusioned, like a bubble that bursts at the first poke.

The reversed cognition first came out of the word "youth". More than half of the people who stay in the editorial department with her all year round can be called middle-aged. The remaining half of the "youth" only looks like this on the outside, but in fact, they are all gloomy, like little old men.

This is also something that can't be helped, after the enthusiasm is broken, people are probably in this decadent state.

Perhaps Time was such a welcoming and dreamy place at first, but with its success, with the magazine's change of ownership, everything began to take a turn for the worse. The pursuit of commercial profit has become the purpose of the magazine, and the magazine is currently working on the strategy of making writers star.

Whether the article is better written than others is secondary, as long as it looks handsome and beautiful enough, then it is easy to say anything. Hype, package, in this era when the eyeball economy is extremely active, a so-called literary star has risen in this way.

The author is famous, the promoter behind it has also made money, and fans have found idols, which is really happy.

In the past few years of "Time", Bai Xiong has fully seen the power of time, and no matter how sharp the edges and corners are, they will be smoothed out, and those who can't stand it will either jump ship, or leave this industry completely.

It's also very difficult to get promoted, you don't have a dream to talk about money, but you don't even have money, so you can talk about wool and go home to farm.

The family's land has long been sold, so Bai Xiong is now hesitating whether to follow the footsteps of his predecessors and change jobs, or go back to his hometown to get married, there is someone who has been waiting for her, to be honest, she still has feelings for that person, but because that person is unwilling to come to Haicheng to develop, so she can only go to different places.

"Teacher Gu Yu, here's the thing, your article "She and Her Cat" has caused a lot of repercussions in the editorial department, and I haven't seen such a fresh and refined novel for a long time, so everyone attaches great importance to Teacher Gu Yu. We have a reluctant request here, in fact, it is an appointment, but the time is more urgent, before the 20th of next month. In terms of remuneration, Mr. Gu Yu doesn't have to worry, as long as the quality of the novel is about the same as last time, we can give up to 600 words per 1,000 words. And once the manuscript is approved, the editor-in-chief will send an invitation to Mr. Gu Yu for a long serialization. ”

Bai Xiong finished typing silently, she was still a little hesitant before sending, she always felt that her wording was a little stiff, but she really didn't know how to change it. It is impossible for her to tell Gu Yu the true situation of the editorial department, so she can only use lies to cover up the truth.

In fact, although "She and Her Cat" passed the review, it was originally backlogged until the next issue before being published, and it was impossible to be on the cover of the magazine as a pure newcomer. Or Bai Xiong herself really likes this work too much, she once felt that Dahl was like the person who was silently waiting for her in her hometown, and after reading it, she immediately recommended it to the editor-in-chief in charge of the novel section, Orange Heart.

Orange Heart also values "She and Her Cat", and immediately reflected to the editor-in-chief that she hopes to make "She and Her Cat" on this issue. The editor-in-chief's opinion is generally carefully considered by the editor-in-chief, but here's where the matter lies, another editor-in-chief in charge of the youth chronicle section has also promoted a so-called good seedling, and the two sides are at loggerheads here.

Bai Xiong knows a little bit about the inside story, and that "good seedling" is actually relying on some kinship, plus his external conditions are excellent, so the editor-in-chief is quite hesitant. In the end, it was Orange Heart who repeatedly guaranteed that "She and Her Cat" was successfully on the top page, but this also annoyed the other editor-in-chief, and Yin and Yang released some cruel words, causing Orange Heart and White Bear to be under great pressure now, I just hope that Gu Yu's next novel can have a similar level, otherwise after the next internal meeting, Orange Heart and White Bear who "made mistakes" will definitely be punished.

"Teacher Gu Yu, I also know that it was my fault that got you involved in this senseless trouble, but now I can only rely on you. The white bear thought silently in his heart, and finally pressed send. The manuscript fee of 600 words is what she tried her best to fight for Orange Heart, just so that the guilt in her heart could be reduced a little.

The person who can write a work like "She and Her Cat" must be the kind of big sister next door whose smile can warm people's hearts, looking at the juanxiu font, Bai Xiong is more and more sure of this, and Gu Yu's real name is "Su Ningxue", which sounds like an elegant rhyme. An author like Mr. Gu Yu should have a cup of tea and write quietly, and I'm really sorry to let her get involved in this kind of right and wrong.

Ning Xue and Ning Yue sat in front of the computer and waited for a long time without receiving a reply, just when they thought they had been released and were about to go to the Internet to search for information about the "Thought Literature Contest", the computer suddenly heard the sound of "Dididi".

"This guy is annoying. Ning Xue complained quietly, it was not so happy to be interrupted.

However, Ning Xue still clicked on the QQ message, and then saw the large text sent by Bai Xiong, and after a quick glance, Ning Xue and Ning Yue were silent.

At first, they wrote this "She and Her Cat" only because of the system task and Song Anran's request, but now it seems that they have also gained a lot of happiness from it, especially after seeing Song Anran, Cheng Yun and Lu Lu's reactions up close, their hearts are full of warmth, maybe it is a good decision to continue writing.

They have a lot of good works in their minds that don't exist in this world, and what they want to play is a fan of their favorite works to others. What a joy it would be for cultures from different worlds to collide.

But they really don't have much time to spake recently, and there are still a few days before the official start of school, so it will not be as easy as it is now, so it is better to postpone it until after the National Day.

Thinking so, Ning Xue replied: "Editor White Bear, can you postpone the time a little, I am busy in September, and I also have to prepare the manuscript for the Thought Literature Competition." ”

Bai Xiong, who received the reply, was stunned, the idea literature contest was a literary contest co-sponsored by "Time" magazine, she didn't expect that Teacher Gu Yu would want to participate in this competition, just like Teacher Gu Yu said, so that there would be no distraction to submit articles to "Time" at all.

What can I do, she can't persuade Teacher Gu Yu not to go to the competition, this is completely a brain-dead idea. Just as the white bear was tangled, her shoulder was suddenly gently patted.

"Ah, Editor-in-Chief Orange Heart!" said the white bear who turned his head in surprise, why did the editor-in-chief of Orange Heart come over at this time.

"I'm just here to see, have you contacted Gu Yu?" The editor-in-chief of Orange Heart is a woman in her thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and looking very serious.

"That's right. White Bear understood, and then told Orange Heart everything that had just happened.

After listening to the white bear's confession, Orange Heart nodded, she lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was thinking about something, in this silent atmosphere, the white bear could only stare at the computer screen helplessly, but her thoughts flew away.

"Participating in the Idea Literature Contest is actually a very good breakthrough!" Orange Heart suddenly spoke, frightened Bai Xiong, and immediately turned his head, and looked at Orange Heart puzzled after adjusting his mood.

Orange Heart smiled and continued: "The nephew of Editor-in-Chief Wu is also going to participate in this Thought Literature Competition, and you and I know his strength, and he is not at the same level as Gu Yu at all. In this way, as long as Gu Yu gets a higher ranking in the Thought Literature Contest than the nephew of Editor-in-Chief Wu, others will have nothing to say. And although our "Time" is one of the organizers of the Idea Literature Contest, there is a seven-school alliance, and those people have no way to cheat at all, and the Idea Literature Contest is undoubtedly a fairer battlefield than having a fair showdown on "Time". ”

"That's true, yes!" the white bear's eyes lit up.

"You tell Gu Yu the truth, it's not easy to hide this matter from her, and if she doesn't make it clear, she will probably have doubts. Orange Heart said, "From my point of view, Gu Yu's writing is very sophisticated, and he already has his own unique style, so if you hone it well, you will definitely be a new star in the novel industry." ”

White Bear nodded, she knew that the new star that Orange Heart was talking about was not the kind of writer who was packaged, but a writer who really spoke by strength.

As for the truth, since Orange Heart has asked her to do this, she has no worries.

……

"Related?"

After reading the large text sent by Bai Xiong, Ning Xue glanced at Ning Yue, and she didn't expect that there was such a story behind the publication of "She and Her Cat".

At first, they were still a little angry, but they quickly calmed down, in fact, White Bear and Orange Heart were just doing their duty, and they were also out of good intentions, who would have thought that a related household would suddenly pop up.

"Do you use the idea literature contest as the stage for the competition, according to Bai Xiong's description, I and that relationship belong to the high school group, and that is a direct duel, hehe. Ning Xue and Ning Yue laughed at the same time.

It was supposed to be a peaceful and peaceful competition to fight for a place for admission without examination. It's just that I didn't expect a villain to suddenly jump out of the predetermined trajectory, which made Ning Xue and Ning Yue feel unexpectedly interesting. Then, villain-kun, please bear the literary spear from another world!
