Chapter 347: Take a leave of absence to read the manuscript

Zhang Chuan happily came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office, and then reached out and knocked on the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Bang bang bang!" Zhang Chuan knocked a few times lightly.

"Please come in!" came the voice of a middle-aged man inside.

"Squeak!" Zhang Chuan stood in front of the editor-in-chief.

Chen Wen, editor-in-chief of "Chunya Publishing House", is a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties who is chubby and not tall. He was sitting in his office looking at some of the authors' submissions.

"Yo, it's Lao Zhang! What, something's wrong!" Chen Wen looked up at Zhang Chuan and said.

Zhang Chuan took a breath, and then said, "Editor-in-Chief Chen, I want to take a day off. ”

"What's the matter, is there something wrong!" Chen Wen put down the manuscript in his hand and looked at Zhang Chuan and said.

"I woke up this morning and felt a little sick, probably with a cold. Zhang Chuan looked at Chen Wen and said.

"Oh, I caught a cold, you didn't go out to eat with an old classmate just now, why did you catch a cold again this time. ”

When Zhang Chuan came out of the publishing house just now, he also asked Chen Wen for leave, saying that an old classmate invited him to dinner, and he would come to work later.

Now, when I came back, I said that I had a cold and asked for leave again. Of course, Chen Wen was also a little unhappy.

"Maybe I went out and caught a cold just now!" Zhang Chuanshuang said with a snort.

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you take a day off, but the point is, our publishing house has been in a bad situation lately! Look at these manuscripts, what are they! A pile of waste paper, if this continues, our publishing house will be finished sooner or later!

The staff of your editorial department should also work hard to read more books if you have nothing to do, and if you can't do it, you will have to write it yourself. I haven't been able to receive a good manuscript, which is really urgent! Seeing that the sales performance of "Robot Adventure" is getting worse, why aren't you in a hurry!"

Chen Wen looked at Zhang Chuan and muttered something like this.

When Zhang Chuan heard this, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Wen and said: "Editor-in-Chief Chen, don't worry! I'll go back and take a good look at the book, maybe I can write a good work of children's literature myself." ”

"Yes! Then you should go back to study quickly! I want to see what your writing level is like as a great editor!" Chen Wen glared at Zhang Chuan, not taking his words to heart at all.

"Okay, thank you, Editor-in-Chief Chen, this time I'm back. ”

Zhang Chuan asked Chen Wen for leave, and then happily went downstairs and drove home.

When he arrived at home, he went to his bedroom and began to read "Sanmao Wanderings" written by Xu Hong. He has now been deeply attracted to this manuscript, and the story in it is constantly attracting him, making him want to stop, if he doesn't read it in one go, his heart will be like a cat scratch.

In this way, as soon as Chen Wen returned home, he kept reading the manuscript in the bedroom.

This is a whole day.

In the evening, when his wife came back from work, she returned to the bedroom and saw that her husband seemed to be not at work, and had been watching something at home.

So he asked curiously, "You old thing, didn't you go to work today, why are you doing at home?"

Zhang Chuan glared at his wife and said, "Don't bother, I'm reading the manuscript!"

"Hmph, what a manuscript! I'm so fascinated by it, I've never seen you bring a manuscript to your home!"

Zhang Chuan's wife has never seen her husband take the manuscript to his home to read it in the future, and she has always read it at the publishing house. Today, it's really strange how to take the manuscript to your home and read it with such relish.

"Hey, don't bother me, you hurry up and cook. Zhang Chuan glared at his wife again and said impatiently.

"Virtue! It's reasonable for you not to go to work, I have to come back to wait for you after a day's work!" Zhang Chuan's wife was a little unhappy when she heard Zhang Chuan's words. She looked at Zhang Chuan again and said, "I'm tired, you can cook today! ”

Zhang Chuan's wife said, and she also lay on the bed, unwilling to cook!

When Zhang Chuan saw this situation, he immediately became angry, he glared at his wife and scolded: "You lazy woman, I'm working now! Don't disturb me, hurry up and cook." ”

"You're at home, how are you working, do you take the manuscript home, you're working, if you're like this in the future, then I'll have to do all the housework." ”

Zhang Chuan's wife is not afraid of Zhang Chuan, she has always been a woman with a bad temper. As soon as she heard Zhang Chuan's words, she didn't pay attention to Zhang Chuan at all, and turned over on the bed, as if she was about to sleep.

"Okay, wife, I was wrong, I apologize to you, you better hurry up and cook! I'm really busy today! This manuscript was given to me by Editor-in-Chief Chen, and I must read it today, and point out some problems with this manuscript.

You see this manuscript is so thick, I've been reading it for a day, and now I'm about to finish it, so you should hurry up and cook! Don't disturb me, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can't cook. ”

Zhang Chuan saw that his wife was angry, so he had to apologize to his wife.

"Hmph, that's pretty much it, it's okay, you'll cook tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Zhang Chuan's wife turned over and got up and walked out of the bedroom.

Zhang Chuan watched "Sanmao Wanderings" with relish again.

Zhang Chuan's wife was busy in the kitchen for a while, and after an hour, she finally prepared a hearty dinner.

"Husband, it's time to come out for dinner. Zhang Chuan's wife called Zhang Chuan at the door of the bedroom.

"Okay, I know, you can eat first!" Zhang Chuan just replied.

"Hey, can't you read it after eating!" Zhang Chuan's wife really felt strange, what was so good about this manuscript, she didn't even eat it.

"I'm going to finish reading it right away, I'm going to finish it, and then I'll have to eat well, if I don't finish it, I won't be able to eat well!" Zhang Chuan glanced at his wife standing at the door and said.

"Alright, whatever! I'll eat first. Zhang Chuan's wife saw that Zhang Chuan was completely fascinated by the draft, so she didn't say anything, but went to the living room to eat alone.

But Zhang Chuan's wife kept eating all the food, and she still didn't see Zhang Chuan come out, so she went to call him again!

"Husband, the food is cold! Zhang Chuan's wife also made Zhang Chuan's behavior angry, I don't know what kind of crazy this old guy is today, he doesn't eat anything, he is reading the script.

"Okay, I'll be done right away. Zhang Chuan still replied like this.

"Come on, I'm watching TV, do you like to eat or not. Zhang Chuan's wife doesn't want to worry about anything with Zhang Chuan anymore, anyway, she is full of food and drink, as for Zhang Chuan, he looks at it himself, he eats if he wants to eat, and he doesn't eat if he doesn't want to.

Zhang Chuan's wife doesn't care about Zhang Chuan anymore, she just went to the living room to watch TV alone.

Zhang Chuan watched it for another hour, and finally finished reading Xu Hong's manuscript.

"Haha, it's really well written, it's really a good book! As long as it is published, it will definitely create amazing sales results, and it will definitely be the same as "Robot Adventures" back then. No, there is a good chance that it will surpass Adventures of the Machines. ”

Zhang Chuan put down the manuscript in his hand, and began to talk to himself loudly in the bedroom.

"Oh my mother! This old guy is really crazy! Why is he talking alone in the bedroom? Who is he talking to? There is no one in the bedroom! Only him. ”

Zhang Chuan's wife was watching TV, and suddenly heard the sound of Zhang Chuan talking and laughing from the bedroom, which really made her shiver and shudder.

"No, I'll have to take a look. ”

Zhang Chuan's wife immediately stood up and wanted to go to the bedroom!

But as soon as he got up and walked a few steps, he saw Zhang Chuan coming out of the bedroom happily.

"I'm going to eat. Zhang Chuan looked at his wife and asked loudly.

"You still know how to eat! I was left alone. Zhang Chuan's wife looked at her husband angrily and said.

"Liar, you can finish the meal with your meal. Zhang Chuan said, went directly to the kitchen, and then brought some leftovers and leftovers to the dining table in the living room.

"Old guy, those dishes are cold, you don't want to eat them if they are not hot!" Zhang Chuan's wife, when she saw that her husband didn't have hot dishes, served them out like this, so she reminded him.

"What's hot! My heart is hot! When I eat this food, it will be hot in my stomach. Zhang Chuan still had time to heat the food, and he felt that his stomach was already rumbling. Simply like this, I filled a big bowl of rice, and then ate these dishes that had been cooled, just at the speed of a storm.

In just a few minutes, he had already wiped out all the leftover meals that his wife had eaten.

"Oh my God, old fellow, what's wrong with you today, why is there such a big amount of food!" Zhang Chuan's wife saw that her husband had eaten two large bowls of rice at once today, and had eaten all the leftovers, she felt very surprised, you know, Zhang Chuan's meal was not so big before.

"I'm happy today!" Zhang Chuan said as he looked at his wife with a full hiccup.

"What's so happy about it, isn't it just that the leader let you read the manuscript at home? Hearing Zhang Chuan's words, his wife was still very puzzled.

"What kind of leader told me to go home and read the manuscript! I asked for leave to come back to read the manuscript. Zhang Chuan wiped his mouth, then took out a box of cigarettes, took out one of them and put it in his mouth. Then he got up again, walked up to his wife, sat down next to her, reached out and picked up a lighter on the coffee table, and lit the cigarette. After that, I took another deep breath. He spit out his cigarette and leaned back against the sofa, looking leisurely.

When Zhang Chuan's wife heard Zhang Chuan's words, she turned around and reprimanded her in confusion: "Is there something wrong with your brain, you old man? You just read the manuscript when you go to work, and you don't read it at work, you take it home to read." What do you mean, do you think that your current salary is a lot? Our family's money can't be spent! If you look at the work unit, it is a salary, and if you look at it at home, who will give you a salary? Are you a fool? Our sons have graduated from college for several years and have not yet bought a house! Now that the house prices are so expensive, it seems that we can only take out a loan to buy a house for our son. How short of money we are now! It's better for you to put the job that can earn money at home, are you full of food to support? You took a leave of absence to read the manuscript at home, I really don't know what your brain thinks, whether you let the donkey kick. ”

As soon as Zhang Chuan's wife heard her husband's words, she immediately became angry again.

She originally thought that if she was angry, Zhang Chuan would definitely be angry!

But what made her strange was that Zhang Chuan was not angry at all when he heard it, and he still looked leisurely.

"Are you really stupid? Thinking of her husband's strange behavior just now, and looking at Zhang Chuan's expression now, his wife is really nervous!

As long as my manuscript passes the review of Editor-in-Chief Chen and then publishes it, then my monthly bonus may be my usual salary for several months! You know what a fart. ”

Zhang Chuan pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and watched his wife count them down.

"What do you mean, your manuscript is so good? Is it the work of that great writer, oh, is it the work of Sun Yuanjie! Isn't he the most famous children's literature writer in the country?"

As soon as he heard Zhang Chuan's words, his wife thought that the manuscript Zhang Chuan had just read must be the work of a certain great writer.

"What Sun Yuanjie! He still has a fart, his works are not as good as one book, and our publishing house doesn't want to publish his books. As soon as Zhang Chuan heard his wife's words, he looked at her like this and said.

"Oh, it's not the work of Sun Da's writer, whose work will it be. Could it be that there is another famous children's literature writer in our capital? I don't know!"

As soon as he heard Zhang Chuan's words, his wife felt that she was lonely and unheard, and it was likely that there was a well-known children's literature writer in the capital now.

"What a great writer! It's just a completely new work that has never published any work. As soon as he heard his wife's words, Zhang Chuan said calmly.

"What, it's strange that a newcomer who hasn't published any work is so optimistic about him. Zhang Chuan's wife listened to Zhang Chuan's words, but looked at him in surprise, not understanding how he could look at a new work and watch it so high.

"Anyway, that's what the kid said, he said he hadn't published anything before, and this was his first time writing, his real debut. Zhang Chuan looked at his wife and said like this.

"Who the hell are you talking about, kid? As soon as Zhang Chuan's wife heard her husband say that kid, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"A young man named Xu Hong. Zhang Chuan said casually. (To be continued.) )
