Chapter 8: The Rejection of Lehi

After Chi Xi came out of Sophie's office, he saw Lehi holding the stack of manuscripts, arguing fiercely with Xiao Zhang, the front desk assistant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sound was so loud that the entire reception hall could hear it, and many people who came to contribute were curious to watch, pointing at each other and muttering, after all, this kind of love gossip is common to the whole people in the Republic or China.

"Look at this situation, it doesn't seem to work." Looking at the whispers of the people around him, Chi Xi shook his head helplessly and sighed.

In normal times, Chi Xi doesn't want to care about this kind of thankless work, it's not that he is an indifferent person, but this world is so cold that you can't be enthusiastic.

In his previous life, Chi Xi didn't know how many college students had been blackmailed by touching porcelain out of kindness to help the elderly who had fallen to the ground, and how many able-bodied people pretended to be disabled to win people's sympathy, so he tried to ignore this kind of thing as much as possible.

However, he is now a contracted author of Begonia Readings, and he is already a member of the magazine, and the contradiction in front of him seems to be caused by him.

Therefore, Chi Xi didn't seem to be able to stand by and watch the excitement, thinking so, his expression moved, and he walked towards Lehi with a slow step.

"Why do you want to return my manuscript, if you don't give me a satisfactory statement today, even if your Begonia Reading is a first-class magazine in China, I will still be finished with you."

Lehi held the manuscript returned by Sophie, his face hysterical.

Seeing that the manuscript he submitted was back in his hands, Li Hai almost lost his anger, and the manuscript that had already passed was actually returned by the editor, which was something he had never done since he started literary creation.

What's more, rejection can be a disservice to any writer with even the slightest reputation.

"Sir, I'm very sorry, our editor-in-chief said that your manuscript is indeed very good, but unfortunately the deadline for this issue of our Begonia Reader is full, so I'm really sorry for causing you unnecessary trouble."

Although he knew that Sophie's rejection was intentionally aimed at the person in front of him, Xiao Zhang still politely showed a hint of apology.

The manuscript is full!

Hearing this, Lehi almost fainted.

You have to make a draft before you lie, and now who in the publishing industry doesn't know that since the popularity of martial arts, the pages of Begonia Readings are less than one issue, and the manuscripts are going crazy everywhere.

You're trying to fool around when you're full of manuscripts right now, I'm really an idiot.

"No, I want to see Editor-in-Chief Su, my manuscript has passed her review, why did she return it again, if she doesn't give me a reason today, I will expose this matter, so that everyone will know about the scandal of your Begonia Reading Store." Lehi said unrelentingly.

Hearing that Lehi was going to expose this matter, Xiao Zhang's heart suddenly tightened, although she didn't know why Sophie wanted to return the draft that had already been passed.

But she understands that if this matter is exposed, readers who don't know the truth will definitely blame them one-sidedly for Begonia Reading, and then the entire magazine will face a crisis of trust, which is undoubtedly worse for the crumbling Begonia Reading.

But she is just an assistant lady in the magazine who specializes in receiving contributors, and she is soft-spoken, even if she wants to calm the anger of the other party, she is not qualified to do so, and now the only one who can stabilize this situation is the editor-in-chief Sophie.

But the editor-in-chief has been delayed in showing up, which really doesn't know how to be good!

Just as Xiao Zhang was anxious about this, a gentle and charming magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind her: "Assistant Zhang, leave the rest to me!" ”

The voice was like a pair of soft hands, which smoothed all Xiao Zhang's anxiety in an instant, and when she turned around, she saw the young man who was sitting in the editor-in-chief's office drinking coffee just now walking towards her.

"This boy is so good-looking."

Before, it was just a quick glance, Xiao Zhang didn't pay attention to Chi Xi's appearance, but now when he took a closer look, he found that this teenager was more handsome than some male stars in the TV series.

"It's you!"

Li Hai also noticed Chi Xi at this time, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face, he thought that the other party would always hide in the office and dare not, but he didn't expect Chi Xi to come out like this.

However, Li Hai was now upset by the rejection of the manuscript, and he didn't want to worry about any gambling appointments, so he waved his hand impatiently at Chi Xi: "Boy, you are lucky today, Lao Tzu doesn't have the heart to play with you now, hurry up and get out." ”

Chi Xi walked in front of Lehi, and when he heard this, he almost didn't laugh, it seems that the other party still thinks that he can't pass the draft.

Thinking of this, Chi Xi deliberately raised his voice in a joking tone: "Mr. Li Hai, what you said is very right, my luck today is really good, and what I wrote was accidentally passed." ”

"Humph! Since you kid knows that you don't get out quickly, Lao Tzu is very busy now, you ...... Wait a minute! Lehi's eyes widened violently: "What are you talking about, your manuscript has passed." ”

It's over! How is this possible, although he is the internal response sent by martial arts to make trouble with Begonia Readings, but at least he is also a senior writer, and even what he wrote has been returned, the other party is just a rookie who has just entered the literary world, how can what he wrote be too much.

"Yes, not only did it pass the review, but it was also favored by the editor-in-chief, and it was accidentally selected as the main magazine." Taking in Lehi's stunned expression, the smile on Chi Xi's face was even worse.

Although he doesn't like to slap his face very much, he has to admit that this feeling is indeed very refreshing, and it is no wonder that so many people yearn for this mode of pretending to slap his face.

"How is it possible, your novel can be in the main magazine, I have submitted so many times and I have never been published, this is impossible...... Suddenly, Lehi, who was hysterical, seemed to think of something, and his originally somewhat hideous face gradually regained his calmness, staring at Chi Xi, who was calm, Li Hai sneered: "You lied to me, how can you be on the main hit with a newcomer who is nothing, it must be that you failed to submit, and you are afraid of fulfilling the bet between us, so you said it on purpose." ”

Thinking of this, Lehi suddenly admired his wit, how could he believe the lies of a newcomer without evidence.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Hai, Chi Xi didn't lie to you, his works have indeed been included in the main journal by our Begonia Readers, and it is expected that the next issue will be published." At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind hit, and Sophie, who was in beautiful professional clothes, didn't know when Chi Xi's side appeared.

"How is this possible, that kid is just a newcomer." Sophie, the editor-in-chief of Begonia Reading, came out to confirm that even if Lehi quibbled, he had to believe it, but he could not accept the fact that a work that he looked down on as a newcomer was selected as the main magazine.

Because as we all know, the most important section of a magazine is the main magazine, and the quality of the main magazine can even affect the sales of the magazine, so the stories that usually appear in this kind of section are either famous works or micro-novels with unsuccessful results.

And the young man in front of him, who has no fame and no background, why can his works be on the main magazine, Li Hai was full of jealousy of Chi Xi for a while.

Although Begonia Reading is no longer as brilliant as it was at the beginning, it is still a first-class newspaper, with nearly 10 million readers, and all the works that are in the main magazine can receive wide attention, and then even the author's fame can soar rapidly.

Now so many people are following the trend to write martial arts, but why is he still writing romances that no one cares about, to put it bluntly, he is running for the main hit, and wants to make a lot of popularity from Begonia Reading.

But now not only did he not even earn half a cent of popularity, but even the manuscript that he had worked hard for several nights was returned, if it was just that, it would be okay, the key and most important thing is that the chivalrous culture asked him to carry out the task of suppressing newcomers has not been completed.

If you really let Haitang read more new authors, then his 5,000 yuan per month labor fee will be gone, and the guarantee he made in front of the editor-in-chief of Chivalry Culture has become ****.

The kid in front of him was literally slapping him in the face, and it was a particularly loud one.

"It's impossible, I said a long time ago that I would definitely be sentenced, but you don't believe it." Chi Xi shrugged his shoulders, and then continued: "In addition, your manuscript was rejected at my behest at my behest to come to me if you want to find a ballast, don't embarrass a little girl." ”

"You ......" Hearing that the manuscript would be rejected because of Chi Xi, Lehi rushed up with anger and blood, and almost didn't run away.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, you should know better than anyone else the current situation of Begonia Reading, the role of a good manuscript is very large for the sales of your magazine, do you reject the good manuscript sent to the door because of my personal grudge with this kid?" Lehi turned his head to look at Sophie next to Chi Xi, he knew that the only person who could change all this now was the woman in front of him.

Sophie smiled: "Yes, it's true that as you said, our Begonia Reading Materials are currently short of high-quality manuscripts, and your manuscripts are indeed very good, and it is more than enough to be in our magazine." ”

Sophie said this, and a smile finally appeared on Lehi's face, it seems that no matter what, in the face of a serious lack of manuscripts for Begonia readings, high-quality manuscripts are always the most important.

Sophie's voice changed: "However, no matter how short we are, we will not accept the manuscript of a person with a bad character, because for our Begonia Readings, this is not a matter of sales, but a precious quality that a magazine insists on, and what you, Lehi wrote, is not worthy of being included in our Begonia Readings." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lehi's unstretched smile completely stiffened on his face.
