Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liu Qingyan excitedly took a document she had just received, knocked on the door and walked into the office of Editor-in-Chief Hou Jianhua.

"Editor-in-chief, great! The publication number of "The Condor Heroes" has been applied, and I have already proofread and typeset the manuscript, so let's ...... it now You can arrange for the printing plant to start printing right away. Is the first printing the 200,000 copies that we originally discussed, or is it ...... Can you add some more? ”

These days, Liu Qingyan has been working day and night, almost nothing has been done, just running specifically for the publication of "The Condor Heroes"!

The normal process of applying for a book number is not so fast, but Liu Qingyan insisted on completing all the formalities and procedures within a week.

Now just wait for a word from the editor-in-chief and a stamp, you can let the printing house start construction immediately, and let the marketing and publicity department start planning some special book lists.

However, when Liu Qingyan ran into the editor-in-chief's office with enthusiasm, she was overwhelmed by a basin of cold water from the editor-in-chief Hou Jianhua: "Xiaoliu! This "The Condor Heroes", I'm afraid our publishing house can't publish it. ”

A simple sentence, but it seemed to be a downpour, which made Liu Qingyan feel cold.

"Why? Editor-in-chief, the copyright of "The Condor Heroes" was finally obtained by contacting the volcano. Moreover, you yourself are also watching "The Condor Heroes"! Knowing how wonderful this book is, how many readers on the Internet are eagerly waiting for its publication! ”

For the first time, in the five or six years since she worked at the Writers' Pioneer Publishing House, Liu Qingyan slapped the desk on the editor-in-chief's desk and said sadly, "Moreover, in order to match our publishing cycle as much as possible, Volcano has even deliberately slowed down the serialization speed on the Internet." It's the same with fans of volcanic mud, who would rather read less now and wait to buy a physical book for publication......"

"Calm down, Xiaoyanagi, I know all these situations you said." Hou Jianhua had long expected Liu Qingyan to react like this, so he persuaded her.

"I can't calm down in this situation. Editor-in-chief, you have to give me an explanation why you didn't do it. Liu Qingyan's eyes were red with anger and she glared at the editor-in-chief, Hou Jianhua.

Hou Jianhua is also very embarrassed! He can't just say why, can he?

Therefore, he could only say hesitantly: "This one is actually not particularly in line with the publishing style of our publishing house, so let's hold it off!" It doesn't matter if the ISBN comes out, press it there first, and talk about it later. ”

"Press?"

Liu Qingyan sneered, and then instantly understood, "I know!" Editor-in-chief, did Mr. Qiu hear the news of the publication, and then came to put pressure on you? ”

"Oops! Xiaoyanagi, this kind of thing, it's good that you know it yourself, don't say it openly. Hou Jianhua said a little helplessly, "This "The Condor Heroes", in fact, I really want to do it very much, after all, this will definitely be a phenomenal work with more than one million sales." ”

"Mr. Qiu is just the vice chairman of the Writers' Association, can he still manage the publishing business of our publishing house?" Liu Qingyan asked puzzled.

"That being said, Elder Qiu doesn't have any authority to control us, but isn't this relationship like this? It's really hard for me to refuse Elder Qiu's request......"

Shaking his head, Hou Jianhua finally said, "So this matter, Xiaoliu, can only be put on hold." ”

"Then I'll take the book number and go to another publishing house."

Without hesitation, Liu Qingyan turned around directly and was about to leave.

"No! Now the more well-known publishing houses have all received Qiu Lao's orders, and even I, the editor-in-chief of the Writers Pioneer Publishing House, can't resist Qiu Lao's meaning, Xiaoliu, do you think it's okay to go to other publishing houses? You have to know, how many things do those publishing houses ask for Qiu Lao, the vice chairman of the writers' association, every year, how can they offend Qiu Lao in order to publish a best-selling book? ”

Hou Jianhua smiled helplessly, comforted Liu Qingyan and said, "If you want to blame, you can only blame the bad luck of the volcano, who is not good, but it happened to provoke Qiu Lao that day." In the Chinese literary world, the most difficult person to offend is Qiu Lao! ”

"Humph! Could it be that the literary world of our country can still be covered by him alone? Editor-in-chief, you don't need to say any more. In short, no matter what, no matter what publishing house it is in, I must have made up my mind for the part of "The Condor Heroes". ”

After saying these words, Liu Qingyan slammed the door and left, and returned to her seat in a huff.

Although the editor-in-chief denied the publication of "The Condor Heroes" and said something to her, Liu Qingyan did not give up, and immediately took out the contact information of the editors of the publishing houses she knew, and tried to call them one by one.

However, almost all editors replied that the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" did not fit the publishing style of their publishing house, so it was not considered for publication for the time being.

What does it mean to be out of style?

is the same old-fashioned and prevaricating rhetoric, but it made Liu Qingyan's heart cold little by little.

"What to do? Are you going to give up? ”

"There is no publishing house that dares to publish "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"

"Why? How difficult it is to publish such a wonderful book? ”

"Is this the literary world I've always loved?"

"Is it really not going to work? How am I going to give an account to the volcano, to the countless volcanic mud? ”

……

"Sister Liu, just now a package was delivered by courier and put it under your table."

Just when Liu Qingyan was disheartened, and even a little discouraged, Xiao Zhou, the editor in the seat next to her, suddenly reminded.

"Package?"

Unwrapping the package under the table, Liu Qingyan was surprised to find that inside was actually a box of thousands of paper cranes folded with various kinds of paper, and then each thousand paper cranes had some words of thanks and blessings written on them.

"Sister Qingyan, thank you for your sponsorship, so that we have books to read."

"I miss you so much, Sister Qingyan, when will you come to the mountains to see us again?"

"I want to go to the outside world, I want to find Sister Qingyan, so I will definitely study hard."

……

Hundreds of thousands of paper cranes, Liu Qingyan, who was in an extremely angry mood, saw the words on these paper cranes, and suddenly calmed down, and tears of emotion unconsciously slipped down from the corners of her eyes.

These paper cranes were all sent by the children of a hope primary school that she donated. Liu Qingyan has been to a small mountain village in the mountains, almost more than 20 natural villages, thousands of households, but there are not even a few literate people, and it is almost impossible for the children to go to school, because they have to rush to the town primary school at least 50 kilometers away to attend classes.

Liu Qingyan also discovered this backward village during a camping trip, and saw the innocent and eager to learn children in the mountain village with big eyes, and finally she took out all her savings without hesitation to build such a hope primary school for the children in the mountains.

At the same time, every month after that, he continued to take out his salary and manuscript fees to buy various books and school supplies for the children in the mountains. Through his influence, he summoned college students and intellectuals to take turns to teach in the mountains.

There are beautiful mountains and rivers, and the people there are simple.

More importantly, the children there have an incomparable thirst for knowledge, and a belief that they must go out of the mountains and will not give up.

No matter how hard and tired they are, no matter how bad the conditions are, they are working hard to persist in learning and never give up.

Their eyes are full of yearning and pursuit for the beauty of this world!

Their hearts are looking forward to a more wonderful life and world after walking out of the mountains!

Hang on!

Step up your game!

Don't give up!

At this moment, this moment with blurred tears.

Liu Qingyan's heart also suddenly ignited, as if resurrected, completely ignited, she grabbed the book and document approved by the "Condor Heroes" on the table, rubbed the ground on the stool and stood up, her eyes were blazing, full of unwavering hope, and she said in a sonorous voice: "I will not give up!" ”
