Govin walked out of the Shanghai railway station in the afternoon, and as soon as he got off the train, he went home in the dust.

Because Lin Yiming didn't know that he was coming back today, at noon that day, Gowen was alone at home for a casual moment, and after lying with his head covered for more than an hour, he went directly to the editorial office of "Harvest".

Govin himself was a little ashamed of his actions, he was the in-service editor of Harvest magazine, and received the salary of Harvest magazine, but he himself had not carried out his work as a reviewer and editor except for the first few months in the editorial department. First, he was busy taking care of Ba Jin, and after Ba Jin went to Beijing for a meeting, he stayed at home and was busy with his own creation because of the science and literature dispute in science fiction literature.

It's a bit unreasonable.

On the way to the editorial office of "Harvest", Govin recalled his performance these days, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

The editorial office of "Harvest" is still no different from before Govin left, the small courtyard is quiet, except for a few editors who come in and out talking to each other to discuss topics, there is no movement.

Seeing Govin appearing at the gate, the two logistics editors in charge of marketing suddenly paused, and then they stared at Govin with a very strange look as they walked, and when they walked past Govyn, they forgot to say hello.

Govyn was uncomfortable being stared at by the two men.

Could it be that when I came home and cleaned up, there were dirty spots on my clothes?

He couldn't help but lower his head to check, and then he realized that there was nothing wrong with him.

When Govin was a little strange and a little amused to ask the two editors what was going on, the two editors had already walked out of the newsroom.

Looking back at the two editors who had disappeared around the corner, Govin couldn't help but shake his head.

What a strange look

The hallway was empty, but the offices on either side were filled with a cacophony of sounds so familiar and intimate that it made Govin feel at home. U-point

I'm about to go to editing again

Govin walked into his office with some excitement, and then he noticed something that was usually different-

Originally, his desk was full of various manuscripts, and an unknown editor was crouching over it to read the manuscript.

Govin couldn't help but be surprised.

Has the newsroom been restaffed again?

At this time, Li Yu, who was diagonally opposite the desk, had already seen Gowen walking in, he stood up happily, and said with a smile: "When did Gowen come back?" How was it in Nanjing? Have you ever played with guns? The army is a great place to be! ”

Hearing Li Yu's machine-gun-like question quickly shoot out of his mouth, Govin couldn't help but feel a little big. He put down the doubts in his heart for the time being, smiled and came to Li Yu's desk, took out a cigarette and handed it over, and said while lighting it for Li Yu: "I just returned to Shanghai in the morning, no, I squinted for a while at noon, and I hurried to the editorial office to report the arrival." ”

After lighting a cigarette for Li Yu, Govin turned around and handed a cigarette to the middle-aged editor sitting at his desk, and when he saw that the editor waved his hand and said no, he took it back.

"Gewen, this is Li Wei, the newly transferred editor of our magazine..., Li Yu suddenly introduced this middle-aged editor to Govin as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Hello." Li Wei shook hands with Ge Wen very warmly, "I have long heard that there is a big writer in the editorial department of our "Harvest", but I didn't expect to be so young, it's really terrifying!" ”

This Li Wei is very good

Hearing Li Wei's praise, Ge Wen couldn't help but have a great impression of him, so he hurriedly humbly joked: "No, in the end, I don't have a good job." Haha..."

Hearing Ge Wen admit that he was not seeking a proper job, a trace of astonishment suddenly appeared on the faces of Li Wei and Li Yu, and then they glanced at each other, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces at the same time. U-point

Govyn noticed this, and he asked the two of them with some confusion, "What's wrong with you?" By the way, why did I come back today and feel that the atmosphere in our editorial office is a little weird? ”

Li Yu shook his head with a wry smile, then grabbed Gowen's arm, and turned back to Li Wei while walking outside the room: "Li Wei, you work first, I have something to say to Gowen." ”

"Uncle Li, what's going on?" Govyn kind of realized something was wrong.

"Let's talk about it later."

Li Yu pulled Gowen and walked towards the courtyard of the editorial office.

When the editors passing by in the corridor saw Gowen, they all stared at him strangely, and there was a hint of expression on their faces that they didn't know what it meant, and Gowen's greeting was only exchanged for some smiling nods.

"Uncle Li, what the hell is going on?" As soon as he reached the edge of the lawn in the courtyard, Govin couldn't help but ask eagerly. He wasn't stupid, and the reaction of the crowd had already made him aware that something was wrong.

"Govine, Uncle Li can see your hard work and seriousness when working in the editorial department of "Harvest", not only the speed of review is fast and good, but more importantly, the use of the special punctuation marks you summarized is very practical, and now it has become a sharp tool for our "Harvest" review. Li Yu did not directly answer Govine's question, but praised Govern's work results.

Seeing Gewen nodding, Li Yu really didn't know what to say next, but there must be a way to solve things, and the paper never kept the fire.

So Li Yu said directly to Gewen: "Gewen, the editor Li Wei in our office is actually taking over your preliminary review work!" ”

"Well, I can see this." Govyn nodded.

Seeing that Govern still didn't hear the meaning of his words, Li Yu gritted his teeth and said simply: "Govine, you have been working in the editorial department of "Harvest" for almost a year, right? In the past nearly a year, except for the first two or three months of work, you basically don't appear in the editorial department much at other times, although you are sent by the senior editor-in-chief to take care of Ba Lao, but everyone is very prejudiced against you! ”

Seeing that Govin seemed to be aware of what he meant, Li Yu simply took out his words directly: "Many editors think that you have become an unstable factor in the editorial department, and they are very dissatisfied with you. Do you remember that last year, the editor-in-chief Gao dismissed a senior editor? In fact, at that time, there were already many logistics editors who were dissatisfied with you, and you often arrived late and left early when you worked, and now you are not working in the editorial office for a long time.........

Listening to Li Yu's words, Ge Wen was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would become a black sheep in the eyes of the editors.

"More and more editors are reporting your affairs to Gao Lin, and many people think that the editorial office of Harvest can no longer keep people like you in a good way, otherwise it will destroy the harmony of the editorial department. At the last all-editorial meeting, everyone raised this issue with Gao Lin...... Gao Lin was also very embarrassed, Ba Lao was not there, and he had the final say in everything, but he couldn't disobey the public! ”

Li Yu looked at Govin worriedly, for fear that he would not be able to accept the news for a while.

Only then did Govin understand why he felt some kind of inexplicable hostility in the eyes of everyone. It turned out that he was treated as a villain and abandoned

Govin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I rushed to the editorial office in a hurry, but I was not welcomed

But it's no wonder that other people will look at themselves unhappy, and they will continue to receive their wages when they don't go to work, and they will feel jealous and unfair in this kind of thing.

"What is the final decision of Editor-in-Chief Li Shugao?"

Seeing that Gowen calmly asked himself about the final result, Li Yu nodded in his heart, and Gowen's calmness was out of his surprise, "Gao Lin hasn't made a final decision yet, he has suppressed the matter." ”

"Is Editor-in-Chief Gao in the editorial office now?" Govin then asked.

"No, he went to Ba Lao to report the situation."

Hearing Li Yu's answer, Ge Wen nodded, then looked at Li Yu for a while, and then said to him seriously: "Uncle Li is in the editorial department of "Harvest", you have helped me the most, I thank you!" ”

With that, Govin bowed to Li Yu, and then he raised his head and continued: "Uncle Li, don't be too tired when you work in the future, this manuscript will never be completed......

Li Yu listened to Gowen's words, and couldn't help but get a little anxious: "Don't do stupid things like you kid!" Things haven't come to that point yet, since you've come back, let's all sit down together and discuss it when Gao Lin comes back...... In fact, the editors are still very good at heart, if you admit your mistakes to them, I think they will forgive you! ”

Li Yu's voice was eager and restless, obviously he saw that Govin wanted to resign, and couldn't help but quickly stop it. In his eyes, it is not easy to have a formal job, how can he say give up, this is an iron rice bowl

Li Yu's advice, Gewen naturally heard, but although he was moved by Li Yu's concern, he did not agree with Li Yu's views.

Maybe everyone thinks that it is not easy to become the editor of "Harvest" magazine, and it is very important to be proud of being able to guard an iron rice bowl, but Govin is very disagreeable.

Iron rice bowl?

In a few years, even the golden job bowl will be broken if it is broken

The reason why he came to become an editor was that he was initially just looking for a place to stay, and then he planned to become a writer, and the work of an editor helped with this, and as for the salary and so on, he had already looked down on him after he was able to make money from writing. The reason why I have been staying in the editorial department of "Harvest" is that on the one hand, I already have feelings for the people and things here, and on the other hand, it is because of Ba Lao.

Why did he refuse to serve as secretary of the Science Fiction Literature Committee? Why did he refuse Ba Jin's recommendation to join the Chinese Writers' Association? Isn't it just to be able to be more free, not to be able to do things according to one's own temperament, to arrange one's own time?

Actually, it's good to do what you want to do.
