Chapter 344 Zhang Editor

Chen Dongshan looked at the manuscript written by Xu Hong for a while, and felt that this manuscript was indeed well written, and if he was the leader of the publishing house, this manuscript would definitely be published. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It's a pity that he's just a primary school principal, and I'm afraid he won't be able to be the master of the publishing house.

"Mr. Xu, your manuscript is indeed good, so you can put it here with me! I will take it to the publishing house when I have time and find the editor I know. See what he has to say, just wait for my good news!"

Chen Dongshan read Xu Hong's manuscript and felt that it was very well written. I thought I'd take it to the publisher and try it.

When Xu Hong heard this, he looked at Chen Dongshan happily and said, "Then thank you Principal Chen." ”

"Teacher Xu, you're welcome, your business is my business, and it's also our school's business. I also do this so that our school can produce a good children's writer. If you really succeed, then our school will have a reputation in the future. ”

The reason why Principal Chen is willing to help Xu Hong publish this children's literature is also due to some reasons: he is not only helping Xu Hong, but also himself! You must know that their primary school is really not very good, it is not famous at all, and many students are not willing to come to their school to study.

If Xu Hong can publish a book and become famous, it will also bring some honor to their school, and naturally it will also attract some excellent students to their school.

"Teacher Xu, why do you say that, I publish a book, will it be of great help to the school!" When Xu Hong heard Chen Dongshan's words, he still didn't quite understand!

Chen Dongshan listened to Xu Hong's words, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xu, do you know Sun Yuanjie!"

"Sun Yuanjie!" As soon as Xu Hong heard this name, he immediately thought of the famous children's literature writer in Beijing that Lin Qiuyu said.

"Why, haven't you heard of it!" Looking at Xu Hong's expression, Chen Dongshan felt that Xu Hong had not heard of this Sun Yuanjie at all.

"I've heard of it, but I've only heard about it. A few days ago, I heard Teacher Lin Qiuyu say it. I knew that he was a famous children's writer in the capital and wrote "The Adventures of Robots". I've heard that it's a big hit, so that's all. ”

Xu Hong watched Principal Chen tell Chen Dongshan what he had heard from Lin Qiuyu again.

"That's right, Sun Yuanjie is the most famous children's writer in our capital. But before he became famous, he was just an ordinary Chinese teacher in a primary school. He is also a primary school teacher in a very remote village in the suburbs.

But since the publication of his "Robot Adventures", his name has spread in the capital and even the whole country. He also became the country's most famous children's writer.

In this way, the elementary school where he used to be a teacher was also wiped out. All of a sudden, it became a prestigious local school. Many parents in the urban area send their children to that elementary school.

The higher-ups were also very concerned about this primary school, and they quickly allocated funds to rebuild this primary school. All of a sudden, this elementary school has changed dramatically. Now it has become a famous elementary school in the capital. The number of students is already several times higher than it was a few times higher than it was a few times higher. This is really the envy of those of us who were in the same primary school as that one before! We all hope that our primary school can also produce a famous children's literature writer, so that their school can also become famous and become a famous school.

I'm just very optimistic about you now, and I hope you can become a famous children's writer, so that our school can follow suit!"

Chen Dongshan looked at Xu Hong and said some of his thoughts.

When Xu Hong heard this, he smiled and said, "That's the case! Well, I hope my book can be read by the publishing house, and in this case, maybe our school may also be affected!"

"yes, I think the same way, as long as your book is published, it won't be as popular as 'Robot Adventures'. At the very least, you can let some people know that you are a teacher in our school, and it will also attract some excellent students. Principal Chen looked at Xu Hong and said.

"Hey, Principal Chen, that Sun Yuanjie is this "Robot Adventure" published by that publishing house. Xu Hong suddenly thought of this matter, so he asked by the way.

"Oh, that's the editor I know about Chunya Children's Literature Publishing House, which is a publishing house that specializes in children's literature and comics. It is also the largest children's literature publishing house in Beijing. Principal Chen looked at Xu Hong and said.

"Ah, it's a publishing house!" Xu Hong was a little surprised.

"What's the matter, isn't a publishing house just right! Now that they've had experience publishing Robot Adventures. This time, as soon as I see your manuscript of "Sanmao Wanderings", I will definitely like it, and I will definitely publish your "Sanmao Wanderings". ”

Principal Chen saw that Xu Hong was still a little unhappy when he heard that it was a publishing house, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Oh, that's what Principal Chen said, then go and try it!" Although Xu Hong said this, he was a little worried in his heart. After all, such a big publishing house still doesn't look down on the works of newcomers. People generally only publish the literary works of some well-known writers, and the works of a newcomer are afraid that people will not look down on them.

"Mr. Xu Hong, what's wrong with you, I feel that you don't have any confidence in this publishing house!

Principal Chen was not particularly happy when he saw that Xu Hong listened to what he said, so he couldn't help but ask again.

Xu Hong looked at Principal Chen and said, "What I'm worried about is that the largest children's literature publishing house will think that I am a newcomer and will not want to publish my book! ”

"Xu Hong, you don't have to worry about this, don't I know that editor! It's a big deal to invite him to a meal, it doesn't matter. Chen Dongshan also felt that this matter was not a big problem, since he knew an editor of the publishing house, people would naturally help.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Principal Chen, I'll wait for your good news!" Xu Hong said, and stood up.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, you go back first! Wait a minute, I'll call the editor and ask about the situation first. Chen Dongshan also stood up and sent Xu Hong to the door of the office.

Xu Hong said goodbye to Principal Chen and returned to his office.

------------------------------

The next morning, when Xu Hong was in class, Principal Chen came to the classroom and said to Xu Hong, "Teacher Xu, come to my office after class, and we will discuss some more things." ”

"Oh, good!" Xu Hong agreed.

After class, Xu Hong came to Principal Chen's office again.

Principal Chen looked at Xu Hong and said, "That's right, I called the editor, and he said that he could read the manuscript first." I thought, then, we might as well treat him to dinner first. Show him the manuscript again, so that it is much safer. ”

When Xu Hong heard this, he said, "Is this okay?" Does Principal Chen want me to have dinner with that editor?"

When Chen Dongshan heard this, he said, "Yes, I think it might be better for us to invite each other to dinner together." You think, you wrote this manuscript after all. I didn't write it. If I just had dinner with that editor, wouldn't it be a little disrespectful? If someone had read your manuscript at the time and had some questions to ask, how would I answer them? I'm not the one who wrote this, so I certainly can't answer it! Preferably, you should go with me and invite him to dinner. This is not only a sign of respect for him, but also an answer to some of people's questions about the manuscript. ”

"Okay, everything is up to Principal Chen's arrangement!" Xu Hong thought about it and felt that what Principal Chen said was also reasonable, so he agreed.

"Okay, let's go, let's get over there! I've already called and booked a hotel." Chen Dongshan said, put the manuscript of "Sanmao Wanderings" written by Xu Hong in a black briefcase, and then walked out of the door.

Xu Hong also walked out.

Coming downstairs, Chen Dongshan came to a half-used black Santana, opened the door and got in.

Although this is a rural primary school, the principal is equipped with a low-grade car. Of course, except for the principal, there is no one else in a car, and even the vice principal is riding in this car with the principal.

And there is no driver, it is Chen Dongshan who drove it himself.

Xu Hong also sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Chen Dongshan started the car again and slowly drove out of the school gate.

On the road, more than half an hour, I drove to a three-star hotel in the suburbs. This hotel is the most exclusive hotel in the area.

Chen Dongshan parked the car in front of the hotel and got out of the car. Xu Hong also got out of the car.

After entering the hotel, I went directly to the private room booked by Chen Dongshan.

A waiter followed, poured two cups of tea for Xu Hong and Chen Dongshan first, and then asked them to order.

Chen Dongshan looked at the waiter and said, "Miss, there is still one person who has not come, let's order it later!"

The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter. ”

Chen Dongshan said, stood up and went to the table next to him, and used the phone in the private room to call the editor again. After that, I sat down at the table again.

Xu Hongxian and Chen Dongshan chatted for a while about the draft.

Soon there was a knock on the door.

The waiter walked over briskly and opened the door to the room.

A tall, middle-aged and elderly man with a thin build entered the room.

"Lao Zhang, hurry up and order. As soon as Chen Dongshan saw this man who was about the same age as him, he stood up with a smile and pulled him to his side.

This Lao Zhang is an old editor of "Chunya Children's Literature Publishing House" that Chen Dongshan said. Lao Zhang's name is Zhang Chuan, and he is Chen Dongshan's college classmate.

"Oh, I'll introduce you first. This is Xu Hongxu, a teacher from our school, who is the author of "Sanmao Wanderings" I told you. Chen Dongshan first introduced Xu Hong's situation to Zhang Chuan.

After that, he looked at Xu Hong and said, "This is what I told you, editor Zhang Chuanzhang, the editor of Chunya Children's Literature Publishing House, the largest children's publishing house in Beijing. ”

"Editor Zhang, hello, my name is Xu Hong. Xu Hong also quickly stood up and reached out to get acquainted with Zhang Chuan.

"Okay, I got it. Zhang Chuan said, and also shook Xu Hong's hand politely.

"Okay, Lao Zhang hasn't seen him for a while, let's eat first! Come, you're a guest, you can order!" Chen Dongshan put the recipe in front of Zhang Chuan.

Zhang Chuan smiled and said: "Lao Chen, what are you polite about! Which of us is with whom!

The two of them were so polite for a while, Chen Dongshan had to order two dishes by himself first, and then asked Zhang Chuan to order them. Zhang Chuan also casually ordered two moderately priced dishes. After ordering, he also gave the recipe to Xu Hong and asked him to order two dishes.

Xu Hong looked at the recipe, so he casually ordered two moderately priced dishes, and gave the recipe to the waiter.

The waiter took the recipe and quickly walked out of the room.

"Lao Zhang, how is your work now, you must be much better than me, the principal of the elementary school!" Chen Dongshan poured Zhang Chuan a cup of tea and asked.

A few years ago, because Mr. Sun's "Robot Adventures" was a bestseller all over the country, our "Chunya Publishing House" was indeed prosperous for a few years. At that time, our salary was the highest among all the publishing houses in Beijing. Don't be a children's publishing house, even some of the more well-known large publishing houses, but they are not as profitable as ours, and the salaries of the staff are not as high as our publishing houses.

But now, Mr. Sun's works are becoming more and more unpopular with children. After "The Adventures of Robots", he wrote several children's works with the same theme, but unfortunately they are not as good as one!

Our publishing house is just eating the old book! It is relying on Mr. Sun's original book "The Adventures of Robots" to survive! After all, the sales of this book have been so-so until now! Otherwise, our salary and benefits would be even more insecure. ”

After Zhang Chuan finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, showing a helpless expression.

Chen Dongshan wanted to say something more, the door opened, and two waiters came to the room with food and wine.

After putting it on the table, the two of them left in amusement.

Chen Dongshan poured Zhang Chuan a glass of wine first. After that, he also poured a cup for Xu Hong. The three of them touched it together.

After that, Chen Dongshan asked again: "Lao Zhang, how can this be, isn't your "Chunya Publishing House" always very profitable! Isn't there no competitor, but your family is the only one!"

When Zhang Chuan heard this, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the dish, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, and then said: "Lao Chen! You are 'ignoring the things outside the window and reading the books of sages with all your heart'! Now the children's publishing house in Beijing is not only our "Chunya Publishing House", but also several children's literature publishing houses!" (To be continued). )
