The editors felt that after a long time -- in fact, it was only a dozen minutes -- the perfect embodiment of Einstein's theory of relativity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was only a dozen minutes, Lu Zecheng had already thought about it very clearly. The position of editor-in-chief of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" is very famous in the circle, and it is a genius to be able to make achievements, and it is normal to not be able to do it. If you can't resign if you can't do it, no one will be too harsh. Only those who can't do anything and try to stay in this position will be accused of being a vegetarian meal.

If you can't do it now, the magazine will vaguely remind you to resign automatically in August to save your reputation and future. It's a bit embarrassing to quit because of this, but it doesn't matter if you look for a new job.

So if you gamble on yourself, in fact, the loss is not big, if you don't gamble, you will slip away, and if you lose the bet, you can also say that you have tried your best. In the eyes of others, it may be the last madness, but more people will think that it is trying their best and not being able to return to heaven. But once you win the bet, you will make a lot of money.

So what are you waiting for!

Having made up his mind, Lu Zecheng immediately said to Lu Ping very seriously: "Xiao Lu, you will be in charge of this Ange's manuscript full-time in the future." When we ask him for manuscripts, we use two articles a week, as long as he provides eight articles at a time. We published it at a price of 200 words per 1,000 words, and we also set up a special column for him, which was called 'Anger Fairy Tales'. ”

Despite being mentally prepared, all the editors were in an uproar when they heard the editor-in-chief say this—this is too generous. This is a newcomer, who is paid and started a column. Although this newcomer's fairy tale is recognized by the editorial department, it is still a question mark whether the market will accept it.

Everyone looked at the editor-in-chief in surprise, although no one raised any objections, but everyone understood very clearly - boss, is it too much to play.

Lu Zecheng looked at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone also knows the situation of our "Fairy Tale Kingdom", and now we can only give it a go. For a month, we fight hard, and if we don't succeed, we become benevolent. ”

The last sentence "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent" is categorical. Everyone understood what the editor-in-chief meant: I'll put the treasure on this Anger. A month, a month without change, I packed up my things and left.

The editor-in-chief gave himself a military order, and the editors couldn't help but sigh.

However, Lu Zecheng's words still had an effect, and everyone did not question it, and expressed their willingness to do their part - at worst, they should see off this fairly good editor-in-chief.

Lu Ping immediately wrote Lu Zecheng's decision into an email and sent it out.

At this end, Zhao Yiming stared blankly at the reply given to him by "Fairy Tale Kingdom" - a column request! A remuneration of 200 words per 1,000 words!

Although the conditions for offering eight articles at a time are somewhat harsh. But other conditions are definitely the treatment of well-known writers, and Zhao Yiming has checked the treatment of writers in this time and space before.

According to this treatment, not to mention anything else, the 6,500-word "Ugly Duckling" and the 5,600-word "Xiao Ming's Flowers" alone can bring Zhao Yiming 2,400 yuan in manuscript fee income. At this rate, it is not a piece of cake to accumulate enough experience points required to upgrade the first level of the system!

It's also shocking!

Zhao Yiming was very puzzled, he was still very self-aware, and being able to get such attention had absolutely nothing to do with a newcomer like him.

Could it be that the charm of a few fairy tales is really so great? No, it's just a few fairy tales, no matter how good it is, it won't make the magazine so excited! Zhao Yiming naturally didn't know that in addition to the high quality of fairy tales, the long-term sluggish background of "Fairy Tale Kingdom", Lu Zecheng's determination to give it a go, and several joint forces came together to produce such a result.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yiming, who could only attribute the credit to the charm of fairy tales, sent an email to "Fairy Tale Kingdom": The conditions of your journal are generous, and I basically agree. There is only one point, and I hope that the eight articles will be provided in several parts, so that we can build a relationship of trust between the two sides.

The meaning of this sentence is that you are treated so well, you will not be a liar. If you want eight articles, it's okay, I'll send them several times, you have paid for the first two articles, and we have established a relationship of trust.

No longer thinking about the weirdness, Zhao Yiming naturally has to focus on safeguarding his own interests.

After reading the call, Lu Zecheng naturally understood what Zhao Yiming meant. He was not annoyed, after all, it was the first time he cooperated with the other party, and it was understandable that others had reservations. Besides, the manuscript will naturally be paid only if you are satisfied with it, and you will not lose money.

"Tell him that we agree to his request." Lu Zecheng agreed without hesitation. Regarding the contribution and treatment, the two sides decided so happily.

At this point, the surprise at noon finally ended. Lu Zecheng found that it was past the meal, and there was not enough time to go to the restaurant, and it was estimated that there was only leftovers in the unit canteen at this time.

"I'm really sorry for everyone, the dinner party that I said was ruined." Lu Zecheng apologized and began to make amends, and he immediately instructed a young man: "Xiao Jia, you go and order a box lunch, count the number of people, and set it according to the best standard of the unit." ”

The crowd was naturally polite again, but no one mentioned making up for this dinner in the evening. Everyone knows that in addition to apologizing to everyone at this dinner at noon, I am afraid that the meaning of breaking up is even stronger. Maybe the editor-in-chief had planned to resign and leave after the meal.

Now, the situation has changed abruptly, and the stupid will mention it.

The crowd dispersed, and they all returned to their seats.

Lu Zecheng quietly walked to Lu Ping's side, and whispered while everyone was not paying attention: "Xiao Lu, you must keep this author's information confidential, don't say anything to anyone except me, even if the editor-in-chief of our "Juvenile Weekly" comes, you can't leak it." If it leaks out, I'll ask you! ”

Watching Lu Ping's eyes widen, looking at herself with an incredible gaze. Lu Zecheng realized that the little girl in front of him had only graduated for a year, and he patiently explained: "We call it 'the heart of guarding against others'." You know that our fairy tale circle is not big, and there are exchanges between peers. In case a colleague who understands the situation says that he leaked his mouth, confess this author. When the time comes, the speaker has no intention, but if he listens to the heart, maybe we, the author, will be pulled away by others, and then we will only have to cry. ”

Saying this, Lu Ping nodded in understanding. Just now, she thought that the editor-in-chief said that there were ghosts in the editorial department.

Lu Ping was relieved, but Lu Zecheng secretly shook his head: Xiao Lu is still young and simple. Even if there was no ghost in the editorial department before, but with this author, maybe there will be. People's hearts are unpredictable, he Lu Zecheng is a good person, but he is not a bad person, he knows many things.

"Alright, let's eat. I went to call the finance and asked him to call the manuscript fee for "The Ugly Duckling" and "Xiao Ming's Flowers" first. By the way, Anger's other fairy tales were forwarded to me as soon as they arrived. ”

After a few last words, Lu Zecheng returned to his office.

In the editorial department, Lu Ping felt a little impatient after a long time. Because from time to time, people come to ask curiously about the author's information. Lu Ping, who was told by the editor-in-chief, was naturally tight-lipped like a bottle. Some people left without asking a smile or smile. But others pestered for a long time, trying to ask something, but they couldn't get any answer before they left.

Lu Ping is simple and inexperienced, but she is not stupid, and she soon realized that the editor-in-chief's concerns were not unfounded.

Think about it! She made some changes to the author's submission form, put the form on the desktop in an open state, and then changed the password of the mailbox and exited the mailbox. Finally, she got up and hurried to the bathroom.

Unbeknownst to her, shortly after she left, two people inadvertently walked past her computer and both stayed for a moment. In the office, most people don't notice this. As for the few who noticed, they just bowed their heads.

What happened in the editorial department of "Fairy Tale Kingdom" Zhao Yiming had no idea. Not long after getting the reply from "Fairy Tale Kingdom", Zhao Yiming's mother came home Mingxiao, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, he ran directly to the kitchen.

The braised potato and beef have long been stewed in the pot, the winter melon pork rib soup is also cooked, and the rice cooker for cooking rice naturally has a yellow light. Zhao Yiming only waited for his mother to come back, and then he could have lunch by stir-frying a few dishes, soeasy.

Seeing that his son was really cooking well, Mingxiao was naturally very happy. She took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick bucket, and without boiling water, she reached into the pot of braised potatoes and beef, picked up a piece of beef, blew it slightly, stuffed it into her mouth, and then closed her eyes and chewed intoxicated.

"Son, you can! It seems that you don't have to worry about finding a daughter-in-law in the future. Mingxiao said happily.

Zhao Yiming used to think that it was his father's Wen Qingfan who moved his mother, but he didn't know from his father's leakage yesterday that his mother was actually a foodie.

Now that he heard his mother say this, he was even more sure of the authenticity of his father's statement.

Alas, foodie mom! Do you think that today's girls are still as innocent as you were back then? The too young, too simple Tucson is broken!

Zhao Yiming silently complained in his heart. But he complained and complained, and he was happy to see his mother eating so happily. However, he watched his mother destroy the beef piece by piece, and his face suddenly darkened again: Mom, you are really ...... eating with a pot

Fortunately, after eating a few bites, Ming Xiao finally noticed his son's strange gaze, and couldn't help blushing a little. She immediately pretended that nothing had happened and began to plate the braised potatoes and beef, and then served the winter melon pork rib soup.

Zhao Yiming had to secretly say, Mom, you can do it, I have to hurry up and stir-fry, in case the dishes are all killed by your old man before the meal starts.

Slightly busy.

Braised potato beef, lettuce stir-fried meat, tomato scrambled eggs, fungus stir-fried vegetables and winter melon pork rib soup, all four dishes and one soup with all colors and flavors are on the table.

Coupled with the steamed white rice from the Northeast newly bought at home, Zhao Yiming enjoyed a happy lunch with his mother. Zhao Yiming is happy because he earns a manuscript fee for submitting fairy tales, and he is happy because of the food and his son's ability. The reasons are different, but who's to say that their happiness is different?
