Chapter IX: Responsible Editors

"Ding Dong!"

Shen Zhe, who was gritting his teeth, suddenly heard the email prompt again.

"Hello Peach Blossom Island Lord, I'm Wei Wei, editor of "Young People", please add me a talk sign, I have something to discuss!"

The pen name signed by Shen Zhe at the time of submission was the owner of Peach Blossom Island, and the source is well known.

"What's the matter, why are you looking for me after rejecting the manuscript?"

"Goodbye!" replied Shen Zhe.

Half a minute later, another email came.

"Mr. Peach Blossom Island Owner, I am your review editor, not the bastard editor-in-chief who rejected the manuscript!"

Shen Zhele, what is the situation, the editor scolds the editor-in-chief, and there is infighting?

Can a manuscript cause a magazine to fall apart?

Add the other party's talk sign casually.

shows that the other party's nickname is Weiwei, and the avatar is a girl, and the information is unknown.

It is estimated that the other party is also reading his talk materials.

"Are you the owner of Peach Blossom Island?The information says seventeen years old, are you sure you are the person?" followed by a surprised emoji.

Shen Zhe raised his eyebrows and typed: "Uh-huh......"

"......" the other party sent a string of ellipses.

"Say, since the manuscript has been rejected, what does it mean to find it again?"

Wei Wei typed: "Okay, for the time being, I believe that you are seventeen years old, can you meet and talk in detail?"

"There's no need for that......"

Shen Zhegang typed a few words, and the other party immediately sent a large paragraph: "Don't refuse yet, I read your manuscript, a very inspirational story." It's only 30,000 words, and the genre is a bit strange, so it's best to meet and talk to you in detail about your ideas. ”

Nonsense, it's not strange that "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" is Helen Keller's autobiography.

Now Shen Zhe is equivalent to writing it as a novel, and the background is equal to an overhead.

But to meet......

Shen Zhe thought about it for a while, it's not impossible, anyway, there are a lot of things to communicate with the editor in the future.

The female editor with the pen name Weiwei has a very sincere attitude, and another reason is that Shen Zhe listened to the words of scolding the editor-in-chief bastard.

"I'll call you the island master, excuse me, are you from Zhonghai?"

"Uh-huh. ”

Wei Wei said: "That's very convenient, you tell me the address, I can go to you." ”

Shen Zhe said: "Okay, Ziwei Community, I'll wait for you outside the gate of the community, and I will have roses in my hands when the time comes." ”

“……”

The female editor on the other side made a speechless expression, definitely thinking that Shen Zhe was teasing her.

Then he typed: "Ziwei Community, I know that place, wait a minute, it'll be there in half an hour!"

The avatar is black, and the other party goes offline.

"She's still a female editor with a crisp style. Shen Zhe scratched the corners of his mouth.

Plug in the USB flash drive, save the manuscript, and go to the copy shop not far downstairs to print it out.

……

Washroom-

Shen Zhe probed in and said to Yang Xin: "Mom, I'll go out for a while, I'll take your wallet." ”

Mother Yang Xin sat on a small horse, washing the family's clothes next to the washing machine, and in the late summer weather, the clothes had to be changed every day. Hearing his son's greeting, he turned around and said, "Whole monkey, what are you jumping around on this hot day?"

Shen Zhe said: "This time there is really something. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Go meet a friend. ”

"Male or female?"

Shen Zhe was speechless: "You don't need to ask so detailed, right?"

Yang Xin glanced at his son and explained: "Don't spend money indiscriminately, come back with a watermelon from a roadside stall." ”

"Got it. ”

"By the way, don't want what is not sweet, if you want sand, taste it first and then buy it. ”

“……”

Standing in the shade of the green trees at the entrance of the community, Shen Zhe was lying on the ground counting ants, and there was a pile of manuscript paper next to him.

After waiting for more than 20 minutes, a taxi came from the west and stopped not far away.

After a while, a woman got out of the car.

After the taxi drove away, Su Wei slung her bag over her shoulder and looked around.

When the sun shines in the sky, no one is stupid to bathe in the poison sun, so the neighborhood is empty. Only under the parasols in the various shops on both sides of the door, there are people enjoying the shade, and there is a young man Shen Zhe.

He hesitated and stepped forward, and was speechless for a moment.

"Roses?"

On the top of the manuscript paper, three words are written in large letters: roses

"Edit Vivi?"

"Peach Blossom Island Master?"

"It's me. Both said at the same time, both laughing.

Shen Zhe picked up the manuscript and got up, and said, "Let's not talk about things first, sit in the cold drink shop, order anything below ten Huaxia coins, I'll have a treat!"

"Why do you want to set a price?"

Su Wei took off her glasses, stuffed them into her bag, and asked with a smile.

The young man in front of him is in a white shirt, blue denim over-the-knee shorts, and splint slippers, his eyes are smart but not obscene, which makes people can't help but feel close.

"Alas, I am a student, where can I get economic income, so I am controlled by my family in terms of money......"

looked at the face of the female editor and smiled: "Sure enough, it's a beauty." ”

"Sure enough?"

Shen Zhe said casually as he walked: "Yes, why do you cover your face with big glasses if you are not beautiful, if you are not beautiful, won't it be even more ugly?" Only a beautiful woman who is self-contained can have the confidence to make herself ugly, unless it is a snake spirit disease." ”

He looked at Su Wei: "Your working environment is terrible?"

At this time, the two walked into a cold drink shop, and before sitting down, Su Wei looked at Shen Zhe's eyes and said strangely: "You are very smart." ”

Shen Zhe shrugged, asked Su Wei's taste, and called out two cold drinks.

Sure enough, they were all under ten Huaxia coins.

After a few sips, Shen Zhe's chest felt refreshed: "I guess, you're no longer in "Young People" now, right?"

Su Wei put down her drink, clapped her hands, and exclaimed: "I still can't believe it when I'm on the road, "If You Give Me Three Days of Light" was written by a seventeen-year-old person, and now I'm starting to believe it a little. ”

Shen Zhe shook his head and smiled: "You can think that I am a mortal ...... Wenqu."

"Wouldn't it be too arrogant?"

"Is there one?"

Su Wei stopped talking and got to the point first: "Let me tell you the truth, your manuscript was reviewed by me, and I submitted it to the editor-in-chief Zhiqiu." It's the bastard who took it upon himself to reject the manuscript, and when I found out about the situation, I resigned immediately!"

"In my experience, your manuscript has the potential to sell well. ”

When she said this, she looked at Shen Zhe, who was listening, and asked, "Why don't you ask me if I have found a new job?"

Shen Zhe smiled: "If you don't find a job, wouldn't it be meaningless for you to come to me?"

Su Wei raised her eyebrows: "You are very mature, you look like only sixteen, but you look like thirty-six ...... when you communicate."

That is, the two time and space combined, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Zhe's age is thirty-six.

"Although it has something to do with my manuscript, it's still Weiwei's problem with editing you, and it's just a matter of going to the hostile places of "Young People" to find it......

Su Wei's gaze was even more appreciative: "You are right, it took me three minutes to resign, and it took three minutes to find a new job!"

Shen Zhe asked, "Which one is it now?"

"Huaxia Youth Magazine, you should have heard of it. ”

"Well, that's not bad either. ”

In fact, even if no editor approached him, Shen Zhe planned to submit his manuscript to this magazine.

Su Wei teased with interest: "Can you show me the complete manuscript now?"

was exposed by the female editor, Shen Zhe was not embarrassed, picked up the printed more than 60 pages of the manuscript from his side and handed it over: "The full text has been coded, less than 300,000 words, the editor in charge will review it first." ”

Su Wei took it and began to browse at a glance.

Shen Zhe finally saw the horror of professional editing, and his quick review was breathtaking.

Twenty minutes later, Su Wei flipped to the last few pages and read out softly.
