Chapter 7: Deliberately making things difficult
Next, Liu Qing was patient again, and asked Mr. Li a few questions on the side, and the other party either pretended not to hear, or just cherished the words like gold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, Liu Qing has completely figured it out, and it seems that the other party really has an opinion about himself - and the opinion is still very big.
"It's strange, I didn't provoke him, why should this surnamed Li target himself?"
Liu Qing was puzzled.
At noon, Liu Qing finished eating, did not return to the office to rest, hid in the corridor where no one was there, lit a cigarette and smoked.
“…… Lao Zhao, I'm angry with you today. ”
"Well, Lao Li, I thank you."
"You're welcome, we've been friends for many years, who's with whom, besides, Liu Qing's kid, I felt unpleasant when I saw him the first day......"
Liu Qing had already heard it, and these two voices were clearly Zhao Zhiqian and Teacher Li.
"Damn, so that's the case, no wonder the guy surnamed Li pulled a face at me, as if I owed him 200 yuan." The doubts in his heart were swept away in an instant.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Zhao Zhiqian and Teacher Li were talking while walking, and after turning a corner, Leng Buding saw Liu Qing, who was quietly silent, standing in the corner of the corridor smoking a cigarette, and the two were startled and a little embarrassed on their faces.
"I always thought that the two teachers had a more vicious review eye, but I didn't expect that when you talked about others behind your back, this tongue skill was also quite good."
Liu Qing smiled and threw down a sentence, "Admire and admire." ”
Zhao Zhiqian and Mr. Li have been engaged in editing work for more than ten years, and they can be regarded as out-and-out literary and artistic workers, generally speaking, literati.
Generally speaking, literati are more face-loving, and these two are no exception. was sarcastically ridiculed by Liu Qing, and the faces of the two were embarrassed and angry.
"Hmph."
Teacher Li coughed, looked at Liu Qing with a displeased face, and said, "Is eavesdropping a very glorious thing?" Only a villain would use such a trivial method! ”
"Haha, Mr. Li, you thief shouts to catch the thief, and your ability to fight a rake can be regarded as cultivating to the point of perfection."
Liu Qing sneered.
"Liu Qing, you, you, you don't want to wronged a good person." Zhao Zhiqian stammered as soon as he was excited.
"Hey, whether it's wronged or not, you know it in your hearts." Liu Qing glanced at the two of them, didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, turned around and returned to the office.
After a while, Mr. Li and Zhao Zhiqian came back with the smell of smoke.
"Liu Qing."
Teacher Li threw a USB flash drive on Liu Qing's desk, and said with a straight face: "There are five manuscripts here, and I am in a hurry, so be sure to take out your opinions before getting off work today." ”
Liu Qing was immediately happy, now there are four hours before he gets off work in the afternoon, and the manuscripts reviewed by the editorial department of the Oriental Publishing House are all martial arts and romance, while the male editors are usually the chief reviewers of martial arts novels.
The shortest martial arts novel is about 300,000 words, and Mr. Li deliberately asked him to read these five books before getting off work, which is obviously an impossible task.
"Do you want to make things difficult for me on purpose?"
Liu Qing smiled, looked up at Teacher Li, and said lightly, "Okay, no problem." ”
"What?"
Teacher Li was stunned, that's right, just like Liu Qing thought, he was deliberately making things difficult for Liu Qing, and the purpose was naturally to let Liu Qing know that it was still easy for him, the master, to clean him up at work.
If this kid is not stupid and has a little bit of knowledge, it is best to apologize and admit his mistakes with a good understanding, otherwise, he has the means.
It's just that Liu Qing's reaction and answer were completely beyond Mr. Li's expectations.
"I said no problem." Liu Qing plugged the USB flash drive into the computer, opened one of the drafts and looked, "I don't need to get off work before I get off work, I can give a review opinion within two hours." ”
"Good! Good! ”
Teacher Li laughed angrily, "I want to see how capable you are." He glanced left and right, pulled over a chair, and sat next to Liu Qing.
With the increasing number of martial arts novels, when the publishing house reviews them, the requirements have been increased accordingly, and the creativity, writing, and plot have been improved.
This is actually a test of the editor's review skills.
Even experienced editors such as Mr. Li and Wang Zhigang would never be able to review five martial arts novels in just four hours.
So Mr. Li naturally wouldn't believe that Liu Qing had that ability, and he was just waiting to see Liu Qing make a fool of himself and make jokes.
Liu Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, cheered up, and seriously read the book called Haoyue Heroes, after reading the first 30,000 words, he directly pulled it to the end of the manuscript and gave a review opinion.
"The plot drags on, there is too much nonsense, it is recommended to return the manuscript, Liu Qing!"
In this way, it only took Liu Qing about half an hour to finish reading a book.
Mr. Li was speechless when he boarded, is this also called reviewing? Just look at the opening tens of thousands of words, the plot content of the whole book, has not been fully rolled out, so it is recommended to reject the manuscript?
It's just so irresponsible!
Next, Liu Qing concocted the same method, and each book only reads the first 30,000 words, and even some books, after reading a chapter at the beginning, he just doesn't read it.
The evaluation given in each book is almost exactly the same, the plot drags on, there is too much nonsense, it is recommended to return the manuscript!
"Hehe, this Liu Qing is simply dying by himself!"
Seeing the end, Mr. Li couldn't help laughing, as far as Liu Qing's review level was concerned, at most one month, and after the probationary period, he was directly dismissed.
"Mr. Li, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that Mr. Li had been sitting next to Liu Qing, an editor passing by couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, I'm learning how to review manuscripts from Liu Qing, the most 'innovative' teacher of our Oriental Publishing House." Mr. Li said with great irony, especially the two words of innovation.
The editor was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "Your old level, in our editorial department, is one of the best, didn't you say that you were considering being the editor-in-chief recently?" You learn from him...... Isn't that a joke? ”
"I'm not kidding." Teacher Li said seriously: "Teacher Liu Qing's speed and vision of reviewing the manuscript are really worth learning from me, it is less than two hours, and I have completed the review of five books in one go, tsk, I am ashamed of myself!" ”
"What?"
When the editor heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and exclaimed incredibly: "Two hours, reviewing five books? Mr. Li, are you mistaken? Even if you read it, you will never be able to read five books! ”
