Marvin is an editor at Harvest magazine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This morning, he went to the magazine office as usual, went to the communication room to pick up a large stack of newspapers sent by his office today, and then came to the office, took a few thermos and finished boiling water, and then cleaned up.

He was the youngest in the office, as the first college student after the resumption of the college entrance examination, he was assigned to the "Harvest" magazine after graduation, starting from the most ordinary employee, and now he is a very experienced review editor.

"Marven, the editor-in-chief said to let you go to him, he has something to look for you."

Hearing someone shouting to himself, Marven glanced at it, it was one of his colleagues, he nodded, and said, "Got it, I'll go right away." ”

Marven sighed helplessly.

He's the youngest and the least qualified, and he's often called by the leader to do other things, he's actually the same as other people, and he also has a mountain of manuscripts to review, although he doesn't want to, but who makes you the least qualified.

Come to the editor-in-chief's office.

"You're looking for me?"

Marven asked respectfully, he saw that the editor-in-chief was seriously looking at a letter, and after hearing his voice, the editor-in-chief glanced up, then smiled and said, "Xiaoma, are you here?" ”

As he spoke, the editor-in-chief paused slightly before speaking.

“…… That's right, I have a manuscript here, which was sent by a friend of mine, and the manuscript is not my friend's, but my friend has spoken highly of this manuscript on the phone and on this letter......

As he spoke, the editor-in-chief waved the letter he was holding in his hand to Marven.

“…… I trust this friend of mine very much, and I have a good eye, so I'm also very interested in this manuscript, but I'm going to BJ to attend a conference soon, and there are too many things to do, so I guess I don't have time to read it, so you can read it first, and if you think it's good, you can publish it in the latest issue of the magazine first......"

After saying that, the editor-in-chief took out five thick notebooks from the drawer, which were the kind of hardcover notebooks that were very common.

And Marven's expression was extremely shocked.

Although the editor-in-chief's words were a little vague, he still heard the underlying meaning of his editor-in-chief, that is, the friend who recommended the manuscript was a very important and high-status friend.

And his editor-in-chief doesn't want to offend the other party, he is afraid that after he reviews the manuscript himself, he will feel that the manuscript is not very good, if he lets this manuscript go to the magazine, it will damage his reputation, if not, it may offend his friend who he doesn't want to offend, and as for why to go to BJ for a meeting, there is not much time.

Not to mention the rest, from SH to BJ, I can read a lot of drafts during this time just by train, where is the saying that there is not enough time.

The meaning of letting yourself review this manuscript is also obvious.

I have little qualifications, even if the quality of this manuscript is not too high, when the time comes to the magazine, you can also put the responsibility on yourself, young people, sometimes it is normal to make a little mistake.

And the last sentence of his editor-in-chief has been obvious, that is, as long as the quality of this manuscript is not too bad, it doesn't matter if it is in a magazine.

However, five notebooks of this thickness, if they were all manuscripts, would probably be a novel of three or four hundred thousand words, and although their "Harvest" magazine would also publish such a long novel, generally speaking, the number of times is very small, and if it is such a long novel, it must be of high quality.

"Editor-in-chief, it's not appropriate for such a long novel to be published in its entirety, right?"

Marven, who took all the five notebooks and flipped through them casually, asked tentatively.

After the editor-in-chief heard Marven's words, there was also a look of hesitation on his face, he reached out and touched his chin and thought for a while before nodding.

“…… That's why I need you to take a look, if the novel is really good, you can let Lao Sun and Su review it together, and it really reaches the level of full publication, then full publication is also possible, if not......"

Speaking of which, the editor-in-chief paused slightly.

“…… Then you should work hard and find a few excerpts from this novel to make an excerpt and publish it......"

Hearing what his editor-in-chief said, Marven was also relieved.

After Marven left, the editor-in-chief picked up the letter and read it again, then smiled and said to himself: "Old Song, it's not that I don't believe you, you originally made me so tempted by what I said, so I was interested in this novel, but you told me that it was written by a high school student, how can you let me believe you......"

After saying that, he shook his head again.

“…… But I can't say, Lao Song is the best face, if the quality of the book is really not good, I guess he doesn't have the idea of writing to me, otherwise he will be uncomfortable to death if I laugh at him......"

"Hey, don't worry about it for now, I'm going to take the train to BJ in the afternoon, I'll let Xiaoma see this manuscript first, he is the youngest among several editors, Lao Song said that this is a mystery novel, and young people should also like this kind of manuscript......"

Marvin returned to the office.

When his colleagues saw that he was holding five thick notebooks in his hands and had a listless expression on his face, he immediately guessed what the editor-in-chief was looking for him.

"The old man asked you to review the manuscript again?"

Su Wenchang, the eldest in the office, came to Marven's three-drawer table with a cup of steaming tea, first glanced at the five notebooks, and then asked with a smile.

"yes......"

Marven nodded helplessly.

"It's still a long article, it looks like it's at least three or four hundred thousand words, I'm still squeezing a lot of manuscripts to read, read this first, I guess I don't have to do anything else today......"

"It is estimated that it was sent by the old man's relation, and he is not easy to refuse, so let us take the blame ......"

Sun Sheng is also clear about this kind of thing.

Hearing Sun Sheng say this in the office, they all nodded one after another.

"That is, the articles written by those related households, the articles written so poorly, and they have to be published in the journal, but we are scolded by readers for being blind, damn it, is this what we want!"

Someone also scolded at this time, obviously, he had done something similar to what Marven is going to do now.

"Don't make any noise!"

Su Wenchang asked everyone not to get too excited.

He smiled.

"Actually, not all the articles of related households are not good, didn't there be a few good ......ones before," he said, he took the initiative to pick up a notebook and opened it.

Then his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Don't talk about the content, but this word is really delicious!" ”

Hearing Su Wenchang say this, Marven also leaned over to take a look, and he really didn't pay attention to the words when he turned it over just now.

Unexpectedly, at first glance, he was also a little admired.

"Not bad, indeed."

Seeing such beautiful words, this made Marven have a little confidence in this manuscript, in his heart, if he can write such beautiful words, his literary accomplishment will definitely not be too bad.

It's too bad to have a chance to practice calligraphy.

Su Wenchang was also attracted by this word, so he continued to flip through.

Then he saw the Man Jianghong written at the beginning.

"Good words!" After reading it silently, Su Wenchang, who was a little shaken, couldn't help but sigh again.
