At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Shen Zhe waited at the gate of the community on time, followed by Lin Yuhan.

Originally, Lin Yuhan was reading Dream of Red Mansions on the sofa and was reluctant to move, but was later stimulated by Shen Zhe's sentence "lazy girl".

After waiting for a while, an official van stopped not far in front of him, and the editor-in-chief Zhongli stretched out the window and beckoned to Shen Zhe. Suddenly saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl standing next to Shen Zhe, he was stunned for a moment, immediately jumped down, and pulled the car door with his backhand.

"Brother Zhong, why are you here in person?" Shen Zhe stepped forward and asked.

"Haha, I, the editor-in-chief, actually do field work, unlike other editors. ”

Zhongli looked Shen Zhe up and down, and suddenly smiled: "I said that it seems to be a little strange all of a sudden, and it turns out that I have started to shave my beard." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and shook hands with Shen Zhe: "Xiao Shen, long time no see." ”

Shen Zhe touched his lips and glanced at Lin Yuhan with a smile, and the girl couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When she went out, her mother Yang Xin was startled, she suddenly saw her son change his appearance, and she almost didn't recognize who it was.

"Brother Zhong, long time no see. ”

Although he had only met once, Shen Zhe was very impressed by this courageous editor-in-chief.

"Who is this?"

Shen Zhe hurriedly said: "This is my classmate Lin Yuhan, who is also bored at home after the college entrance examination, and received your information yesterday, and took it upon himself to bring one more person, I don't know if it is convenient for Brother Zhong?"

"Your brother Zhong has shouted out, of course it's convenient, welcome ......"

Zhongli made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Get in the car, you are also from our magazine, and you haven't entered the house yet, so I'll take you to recognize the door today." ”

Shen Zhe looked strange, he had just submitted two manuscripts, so he regarded it as his own person?

"Sister Su is good. After getting in the car, he found that the editor Su Wei was also there, and Shen Zhe hurriedly said hello.

Su Wei smiled and nodded: "I finally look forward to your graduation from high school." ”

The car was spacious, with two women, large and small, sitting in the back row. The little girl is holding a children's book in her little hand, and from time to time she asks her mother what is drawn on this picture.

Shen Zhe glanced at it, it was a copy of "Children's 365", and he had just submitted a manuscript the day before yesterday.

The little girl didn't know a few words, she just jumped to look at the illustrations, which asked her mother to read the story to her.

Seeing Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan getting into the car, they just looked up, and their attention was immediately drawn back to the fairy tale world.

After the car started, it was a middle-aged uncle who served as the driver, and after hearing the introduction, his surname was Zhao, Shen Zhe called Uncle Zhao hello, and then turned his head to look at Zhongli.

"Strange what I just said?"

Shen Zhe spread his hands and waited for the editor-in-chief to explain.

Zhong Li said: "The reason why I didn't bother you this year is because you are in your third year of high school, and it is really inappropriate to chase you for a manuscript." He smiled bitterly and said to Su Wei's side, and then said, "I and the editorial department have always wanted to ask you for a manuscript again, but she stopped us......

Shen Zhe was stunned: "Thank you Sister Su for understanding!"

"It's nothing, the college entrance examination is too important, and it is a major event related to your life...... It's all over now, but you have to make it up to me. ”

Shen Zhe nodded yes, only to listen to Zhongli continue.

"But your pen name has been reported to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the name of the magazine, and it took less than a month for the evaluation to come down, and now you are a four-star author. ”

"In the past, most of the authors were freelancers, but now under the management of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the magazines with the number of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles all play the role of the author's home, and you are under the name of our magazine. So you should understand why I said that you are from the magazine. ”

Shen Zhe smiled bitterly: "This statement is a bit reluctant, right?"

Su Wei hugged her daughter to the seat and interjected, "That's because you don't know how valuable you are." ”

Zhongli shook his head: "There are not many authors who can write best-selling novels, and our magazine does not have an advantage in this regard, and the author resources above five stars are monopolized by large publishing houses, and they can't afford the manuscript fee for serialization." During the years ago, the phone calls to the magazine to ask for your news had to be answered by a special person, and many calls were anonymous poached by other magazines, of course, you can't just tell them. ”

"No, I saw on the Internet two days ago that almost all of the top ten bestsellers this year are above 200,000 words......"

""The Age of Sorrow", "When I Was Eighteen", "My Youth is Crying", ......" Speaking of these, Su Wei, as the editor-in-charge, was more familiar than him, and said seven or eight book titles in one breath, and finally said: "Hear it, they are all inspired by your "Those Years". ”

Shen Zhe "......"

It's similar to the online novel of the original time and space, and when a bestseller comes out, it's immediately a lot of follow-up works, and it sells well.

"In the current literary market, history and youth literature are equally divided in the world, and science fiction and chivalry are niche books, which are only maintained by a group of die-hard readers. A master of youth literature like you is something that every magazine wants to catch, and we are certainly no exception. ”

Shen Zhe disagreed, there are master authors in any literature, but this world has not yet appeared.

However, he is also willing to continue to cooperate with "Chinese Youth", and he has met with the editor several times and is very comfortable communicating with each other.

A few people chatted casually, and the car had already driven through half of Zhonghai City.

……

"That's the headquarters of our magazine, with the publishing house in the back. Zhongli said through the window and pointing to a small three-story building in front of him.

The location of the small building is very good, by the river, although it is not high, it is better than elegant and chic, like a place to engage in literature. Surrounded by a half-man's wall, a small kingdom in the steel jungle, it's no wonder the editors are reluctant to change units as soon as they enter.

Lin Yuhan had been sitting obediently listening to them, and when the car stopped, he wrinkled his nose when he saw Shen Zhe looking over.

The moment the two walked into the editorial office side by side, they were both startled by the scene in front of them.

The five editors-in-chief were in front, followed by more than a dozen editors, and the moment Shen Zhe and a few people came in, there was a slap.

"This is Shen Zhe. ”

As soon as Zhongli's voice fell, the editors on the opposite side burst into applause.

"Welcome!"

"Welcome Shen Zhe!"

As if the leader was inspecting, Lin Yuhan hurriedly took a step back and looked at Shen Zhe curiously.

Shen Zhe smiled bitterly: "Thank you!

Everyone looked at the young man opposite curiously, except for Editor-in-Chief Wei, who was seeing Shen Zhe for the first time. It was he who brought two best-selling books to the magazine last year, and he didn't look anything special, like a boy next door.

Maybe the girl behind him is too good, Lin Yuhan is wearing a ponytail, her face is delicate, and she exudes the atmosphere of youth.

Next is another introduction, Shen Zhe silently kept the editors in mind, and may deal with them in the future. The first impression of the editorial department was good, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and a group of people seemed to be under the age of 30, and there was no barrier to communication.

Zhongli waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, the ceremony to welcome the new members is over, what should everyone do to continue, I will take Xiao Shen to learn about the situation of our magazine...... Let's go, Su Wei, you are his editor-in-charge, and Lao Wei is also here. ”

Su Wei took her daughter's hand and handed it to Lin Yuhan, leaned over and said in a consultative tone, "Weiwei, can you let this young lady read you a story?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at Lin Yuhan, and said crisply: "Okay, Mom, you have to come back quickly!"

Lin Yuhan was a little at a loss in the face of the child, Shen Zhe looked at it and smiled, and was thrown away.

Several people sat down in the editor-in-chief's room, and Shen Zhe first smiled bitterly and asked, "Brother Zhong, what did you do today?"

"This one," Zhongli snorted, "it's called sweeping the couch." ”
