Liu Zelai is the responsible editor of the Baihuatai supplement of the Z City Evening News, he graduated from the University of H Province in 90 years, and after graduation, he went to the Z City Evening News and took over the Baihuatai supplement.

That's six years.

Liu Zelai is a workaholic.

He spends a long time every day opening free letters.

There are fifty or sixty free submissions like this every day. If you change to other editors who are not very responsible, it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to read ten lines at a glance.

But Liu Zelai spent at least two hours reviewing the manuscript. He reads it very carefully, and as long as there is even a little bright spot in the manuscript, he will carefully consider whether there is value in revision, and how much potential the author will cultivate.

His conscientiousness and responsibility are well known throughout the Z City Evening News.

Baihuatai supplement is published 5 times a week, and it is the main supplement of Z City Evening News, with one or two editions published every day. Z City Evening News is a four-open newspaper, and each supplement page needs seven or eight articles of 1,000 words, and the amount of manuscript is still quite large.

But seriously, they really don't have a shortage of manuscripts.

This lack of manuscripts refers to the fact that there is no shortage of manuscripts that are of sufficient quality for publication.

Z is the provincial capital, and most of the well-known literati in the province are gathered here, these people have to write articles every day, and they all regard the supplement page of the Z city evening newspaper as their own place.

If the manuscripts of famous writers in this province are published in the newspapers of this city, they will naturally be published first, and they will have to pay much more generous manuscript fees than ordinary authors.

There are so many famous families in this city, hundreds of them are certain, if one person gives one manuscript a week, that is, there are 100 manuscripts per week for only famous families.

That is to say, if the editor wants to save trouble, then he only needs to send a famous manuscript, and ordinary authors don't need to read it!

But Liu Zelai still spends a lot of time every day reviewing the manuscripts of ordinary authors.

Liu Zelai has such a sense of mission in his heart, and he is eager to cultivate more talented new authors.

He thinks that those so-called famous people vote for him with a strong smell of decay, and even if they dare to write a thousand words and vote for a little boring thing, they are not afraid of losing their own people?

If boring little things can really write unusual fun and artistic conception or something, then that's fine!

The point is that there is no merit at all, and he still thinks arrogantly that his manuscript must be sent, and if he doesn't send it, he won't give him face.

Just fool the reader with this bullshit stuff.

Are you an old man, do you still have a face?

On the morning of 14 July, Liu Zelai had just made a cup of tea and sat down at his desk, when the person in charge of sending and receiving letters from the newspaper office brought him a large bundle of letters.

This bundle of letters is full of 100 letters.

Liu Zelai began to open the letter and read the draft. In fact, about half of these letters are from readers, and they are divided into sub-categories after review, and the valuable ones are left for later processing.

His main focus is on submissions.

Recently, he always feels a bit mediocre in the manuscript of his layout, there is no eye-catching manuscript, Liu Zelai eagerly hopes to find one or two excellent manuscripts from today's manuscript to supplement the layout.

He noticed that there was a letter that was particularly thick, and the envelope used was also the kind of large brown paper envelope, which was quite heavy.

He took the letter in his hand, opened it carefully, and took out a wad of manuscript paper inside.

At the top of the manuscript paper is a text message.

After a little reading, this is a self-introduction of the author. The author, who is only 19 years old this year, is a junior in high school, and has just taken the college entrance examination this year.

This author's name is Xiao Fei.

According to the author, he sent a total of 10 1,000-word manuscripts this time, centering on one theme, that is, "anti-chicken soup".

In the letter, he also listed the ten deadly sins for Chicken Soup, what to confuse readers, secretly change concepts, generalize, make up inventions, and so on.

The term chicken soup for the soul originated from the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series edited by American Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen.

Liu Zelai is naturally familiar with this.

He also knows that types of articles such as sentiment and inspirational that are popular on the pages of domestic supplements belong to the category of chicken soup for the soul.

As a supplement editor, Liu Zelai has naturally compiled and distributed a lot of chicken soup articles.

He has always believed that articles such as chicken soup for the soul have the effect of purifying the hearts of readers and getting rid of the impetuousness of human nature, which is of great benefit to the society.

Now, Liu Zelai unexpectedly found that some people were against this.

At first, he was unimpressed.

Liu Zelai thinks that a nineteen-year-old child is just immature in his thinking, and he can have any profound views and understanding, but he is just a little clever and wants to grandstand.

Before reading the draft, Liu Zelai had actually sentenced the child's manuscript to death.

But he was a conscientious editor, so he decided to take a cursory look at the submissions to see what the kid was talking about.

Looking at this, Liu Zelai found that he seemed to be wrong.

The first manuscript he read was "Chicken Soup for the Soul or Spiritual Opium", which recounted in a satirical tone the reflections of a guy suffering from chicken soup addiction on the chicken soup text.

The chicken soup addict in the article found that the way the chicken soup article motivates people is very brain-dead, it will not analyze things for you in an all-round way, but only chooses a partial and comprehensive perspective, telling you that you must do this, as long as you do this, you will be able to do it; For example, in the face of success, if you want to succeed, you need to have perseverance, persevere, and you will definitely be able to see the light, which is the argument of Chicken Soup Text, but in fact? If you want to succeed, you need to be well prepared and take a flexible approach, and perseverance can sometimes lead to failure, for example, sticking in the wrong direction.

The patient also found that he often used to spray chicken soup by grafting flowers and trees. For example, in a widely circulated chicken soup article, a billionaire is on vacation by the sea and meets a young fisherman who is fishing. The rich man showed the fisherman a way to get rich: borrow money to buy a boat to go to sea to make money, make more money, buy a big boat and hire more people to increase production, then buy more boats to set up an aquatic company, then open an aquatic processing plant, and then list his company, well, now you can use the money from the stock market circle to do big business, such as real estate, then, you can eventually become a billionaire like me.

How did the fisherman react?

The fisherman asks the billionaire, what happens after becoming a billionaire?

The rich man said, then you can go to the seaside for a vacation like me, bask in the sun, fish, and enjoy life.

The fisherman smiled incomprehensibly, and at that moment, the fisherman seemed to have turned into a hermit who saw through the red dust, and the fisherman asked rhetorically: Isn't the life I am living now the end result of the processes you are talking about?

In this famous chicken soup article, if the fisherman is not the son of some of the world's richest people, then he must be a self-deceptive and unwanted failure in life.

The author uses this article to promote the philosophy: "The things that others have spent their whole lives pursuing, it turns out that small people like me have already owned them, but we don't know it." (To be continued.) )
