Chapter 0020 Volunteering

After the last mock exam, it means that the college entrance examination is no longer a countdown on the blackboard, but a real and upcoming turning point in life.

What makes students smell the college entrance examination even more clearly is the distribution of the "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Handbook", which lists hundreds of colleges and universities of different grades.

Social status, educational investment, scientific research achievements, famous alumni, the number of admissions, campus environment, room and board costs, all kinds of conditions are clearly written in the manual.

As soon as the manual was handed out, even the hardest working students on weekdays had no intention of revising, and everyone held the manual and looked at it.

In the evening self-study, Zhou Lin came to Xu Yunyue's side as usual, and only then did he do a math problem, and her elbow was gently poked by her.

"What?" Zhou Lin asked.

Xu Yunyue: "Have you decided what school to apply for?"

Zhou Lin: "Didn't I tell you, Songjiang University?" ”

"That's it?" Xu Yunyue was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Zhou Lin nodded.

Xu Yunyue thought for a moment: "Then where do you think it is better for me to report?"

Zhou Lin smiled: "How is Songjiang University?"

Although she had already guessed that Zhou Lin would have this answer, Xu Yunyue still blushed: "I'm serious with you." ”

Zhou Lin said: "I hope you apply to Songjiang University, with your grades, as long as you play normally, you can choose a major at will, and then you can choose finance or business law." ”

"Why?" asked Xu Yunyue in surprise.

Of course, Zhou Lin can't say that he will do a lot of things in the future, and he urgently needs a helper who understands finance and law.

He can only say from the perspective of social development that with the strong economy of China, the demand for talents in finance and business law will continue to increase, and there will be a good future in the future.

Xu Yunyue listened for a long time and said in a low voice: "My mother asked me to apply for the university in Pingjing." ”

Although Matsue is good, it can't compare to Heikyo.

Pingjing is the capital of China and one of the five largest cities in the world, with a population of tens of millions, and is a proper financial, commercial, political and cultural center of Asia.

There are more than 20 universities in Pingjing, not to mention Pingkyo University and Mizuki University, which are second to none in Asia, and even second-rate universities can casually attract the attention of candidates from all over the country because of their geographical location.

Xu Yunyue's grades were not admitted to the first-class university in Pingjing, and it was still very promising to be admitted to a second-rate university. Her mother had always been high-spirited, and it was not surprising that she would ask her to do so.

Zhou Lin remembered that in his previous life, Xu Yunyue applied for a college in Pingjing, but unfortunately his performance in the college entrance examination was abnormal, and his grades plummeted, and he only went to a junior college, otherwise the two would not have had the joys and sorrows of the next three years.

He didn't know how to explain to Xu Yunyue, so he pondered for a moment and said, "If your mother insists, the first choice is to apply to Pingjing Institute of Posts and Telecommunications." ”

In Zhou Lin's memory, Pingjing Institute of Posts and Telecommunications will become increasingly important due to the vigorous development of Internet technology, and the gold content of graduates is not inferior to that of first-class universities.

"Hmm. Xu Yunyue didn't hesitate, and didn't even ask Zhou Lin for a reason.

"How about my second choice, Songjiang University? Zhou Lin said again.

"Hmm......" Xu Yunyue nodded slightly.

After clarifying the school to apply for, Xu Yunyue was much more relaxed, but Zhou Lin was distressed again.

What if Xu Yunyue is really admitted to Pingjing Institute of Posts and Telecommunications?

Hey, let's take one step at a time, anyway, I won't let her run away in this life!

……

"We must not let this book run away, hurry up and call the author to finalize it, isn't the manuscript for the second week of June not finalized, and this "Mandarin Duck Knife" will be used for the 'short story selection'!" Geng Yunhe, editor-in-chief of the "Wuxia Weekly" magazine, said excitedly.

It's no wonder he's so excited, this "Mandarin Duck Knife" in his hand is really interesting.

The text is old and spicy, humorous and funny, and the words are full of irony about the martial arts story, which makes people laugh and have a lot of thoughts at the same time.

This kind of story is exactly what Geng Yunhe has been pursuing, and it is like a treasure after just a few glances.

"But the draft of the short story selection in the second week of June has already set a new article by Jiang Haichao, and I just confirmed with him a few days ago, isn't it okay to take it down temporarily?" said the editor with a bitter face.

"Jiang Haichao?" Geng Yunhe frowned slightly.

Jiang Haichao is a star author in the martial arts circle, and has published some short stories in "Martial Arts Weekly" from time to time, and has many die-hard readers.

On weekdays, Geng Yunhe would definitely not risk offending Jiang Haichao to withdraw the manuscript, but with such a wonderful novel as "Mandarin Duck Knife" in his hand, he seemed to have returned to his childhood, bought a new toy and wanted to show off to the world, how could he endure it!

Just hesitated for a moment, Geng Yunhe said: "Jiang Haichao has a good communication over there, and it's a big deal to give him an interview next week as compensation." This manuscript must be finalized immediately, and the author must not be allowed to submit it to other magazines! Xiao Zhang, if the phone call is not through, I will talk to the author personally!"

"The author didn't leave a contact number...... Zhang Zhifang said.

Then reply to the email, and he will agree to whatever the conditions. 500 thousand words, no, 1000 thousand words is no problem!" Geng Yunhe said loudly.

1,000 words for 1,000 words, one yuan per word? The editors looked at each other.

"Martial Arts Weekly" is not a big magazine, and it can only rank second-rate in the circle of martial arts magazines.

Generally speaking, the manuscript fee for new authors is between 50 and 100 yuan per thousand words, and for popular authors it is between 100 and 300 yuan. Those who can reach 500 words per thousand are all famous authors.

As for 1000 thousand words, it is a big price that can only be given by first-class magazines such as "Martial Arts Circle" and "Old Things of Martial Arts", and those who can get it are the top people in the martial arts novel circle.

"Mandarin Duck Knife" is well written is a common understanding of everyone. But as soon as I heard that the editor-in-chief was going to give such a high price to a little-known newcomer author, did everyone think it was too exaggerated?

Zhang Zhifang couldn't help but say: "Editor-in-chief, is this price a little too high? This Zhuyunfei is a newcomer, and I think the price of 300 to 500 is good." ”

Several editors chimed in.

Geng Yunhe glanced at them and said, "Do you know why you joined the magazine a few years later than me, but you have always been an editor, and I became the editor-in-chief?"

The crowd shook their heads.

Geng Yunhe picked up the strong tea on the table and took a sip before saying slowly: "This is called Zhuyunfei's old and spicy text, the story is exquisite, at first I suspected that he was the vest of a famous author, but later I found out that he must be a newcomer." ”

"How can you be sure he's a newcomer?" someone asked.

Geng Yunhe said: "First, his writing style is different from that of any famous author in ten years. I know the structure and vocabulary of these authors' stories clearly, and Zhuyunfei is different from them, and he is older and spicier than them!"

The editors thought silently, and no one refuted.

Although "Mandarin Duck Knife" is very short, the pen is very sophisticated, the text is accurate, and the meaning is profound.

Geng Yunhe continued: "Secondly, the level of his manuscript is extremely high, why don't you vote for "Martial Arts Circle" or "Old Things in Martial Arts", but vote for us? Because he is not familiar with martial arts magazines!"

Zhang Zhifang couldn't help but say: "Editor-in-chief, how do you know that he didn't vote, maybe he submitted like a net." ”

Geng Yunhe snorted coldly and said: "Even if he votes, with the arrogance of the editors of "Martial Arts Circle" and "Old Things of Martial Arts", will he take a newcomer seriously? Even if he thinks that "Mandarin Duck Knife" is good, can he give a price of 1000 words per thousand words?"

He added: "Our fame and sales are not as good as those of first-class magazines, and we can only win this article by making a fuss about the manuscript fee." With this ability to chase the clouds, as long as you have a good relationship with him and invite him to be our resident author, do you think it is still a dream for us to catch up with "Martial Arts Circle" and "Old Things in Martial Arts"?"

The editors finally came to their senses.

No wonder we are still ordinary editors after so many years, and everyone has become the editor-in-chief, and the things in our heads are just different!

"Why are you still stunned, hurry up and contact Zhuyunfei!" Geng Yunhe glanced at everyone and suddenly shouted, "Cheer me up, the manuscript is set to double the bonus this month, and if it can't be set, all will be deducted!" ******* there are some references in these two chapters, so writing 2,500 words in this chapter is compensation.
