Chapter 27: The turmoil continues
Early in the morning, I was still in a blurry sleep when I heard the sound of my phone ringing.
"Hey, okay, I'll be right there!"
As soon as I picked up my mobile phone, I connected the phone, and immediately lost the phone after listening to two sentences, and then put my clothes on my body with three strokes and five divisions, and quickly wiped my face with water without even brushing my teeth and ran out. The call was from Li Tingting, and it has been a long time since she received a call from Sister Tingting, who knew that something big had happened as soon as she answered it.
First, I'm going to work today, and I'm already two hours late; Second, Mr. Liu looked for me, and I had to arrive within half an hour, which didn't feel like a good thing; Third, there was a serious problem with the manuscript of my new book.
When I rushed down from the taxi in a hurry, and then I couldn't wait to push the elevator up to the company with the impact of the rocket, Sister Tingting stood directly at the door and whispered: Mr. Liu is waiting for you in the office. When I went in, I found that everyone in the editorial department looked at me strangely.
Nervously pushed open the door of Mr. Liu's office, when it was okay, Mr. Liu would not call someone easily. I've been here for so long, and I've seen Mr. Liu three times in total, one is the first time I met, and the other is when I participated in the competition with Liu Jing to present awards, and the first time is this time.
When Mr. Liu saw me coming in, he directly took a folder and threw it to me.
"Mingxuan, I've always been very optimistic about you, this time you made this mistake too careless and stupid, take a good look at it yourself"
I strangely opened the cover, which was a printout of my newly signed novel. I looked at Mr. Liu suspiciously
"What's wrong with Mr. Liu? I don't see anything wrong."
"Have you had any family affairs lately?"
I quickly shook my head in denial. He continued
"You just work, you must understand, don't bring your own mood into the work, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, I know!"
He lifted his glasses, this manuscript you submitted for review has not been proofread at all! Take a good look for yourself, and who is this Zhang Ruoxuan, you actually wrote your pen name and the four of the review signatures as Zhang Ruoxuan. And said it was fine! My eyes widened
"Mr. Liu, it's impossible, I read it carefully when I printed it, how could I make a mistake, and I sent it to Editor-in-Chief Su first."
"Then you can take a good look for yourself, I'm reminding you. Actually, I'm still very optimistic about you, there aren't too many things to do during this time, if you have any family matters, you can tell Uncle Liu, I asked Su Qin to give you half a month's vacation to deal with it. ”
After Mr. Liu said this, I responded with a sentence of receipt, and then withdrew from Mr. Liu's office with the manuscript, and I didn't even bother to eat lunch, so I went straight to the computer.
However, when I flipped through the folder sent to Su Qin yesterday on the computer, I found that my manuscript was really not proofread, and the computer stored the draft that I had written for the first time! And there are really several obvious mistakes in it, especially my pen name and the reviewer's signature, which are actually written by Zhang Ruoxuan, at that moment, in the office cubicle that is not hot, fine beads of sweat appeared on the top of my head.
I suddenly remembered that my nerves had been in a trance since I learned the news yesterday, but I clearly remembered that some things I had really done, and some of them didn't seem to have corrected them, but I still corrected all of them. It's been a few months since I came in, and I've always been cautious, especially for work, I always feel like I'm new, so I'm afraid of making mistakes. But now, I sighed, after all, it was a hundred secrets. Mr. Liu didn't blame me too much for my mistakes, but let me watch and deal with it myself, but disappointment was inevitable.
After being reminded by my colleague below, I called the printer, but the printer said that the novel was in a hurry, and it would have to be printed tomorrow morning at the latest.
So I began to slowly check it over and over again, reviewing the text chapter by chapter. Yesterday, in a state of nervous drift, I don't know how many things I corrected wrong, the original manuscript of the novel with more than 2,000 chapters and nearly one million words will be used tomorrow morning, and I can only start reviewing chapter by chapter. When it was time to get off work, I collapsed in my chair alone.
Li Tingting greeted me at the end of the day and said jokingly
"Mingxuan, do you want me to sit down and help you change it together."
"It's okay, you can go first, it's my fault, there's no reason for you to stay and help me bear it."
One after another, in the huge office, I was finally the only one left fighting alone in front of the computer. When I realized that I was hungry, my neck was already sore because I had been in one position for a long time.
From noon to now, I haven't eaten a drop of water. I slowly got up and poured myself a cup of hot water from the side, then sat down and continued to correct my mistakes. I thought that drinking some hot water would calm my stomach pain, but the stomach pain became more and more intense. In the end, I had to give up the revisions and lie down on the table for a while.
It was pitch black in the cold office, only the computer screen in my seat was still lit, and the cold wind blew in through the open windows and raised the curtains, making the night seem unusually quiet. There is still a song of Shuimu Nianhua playing on the computer, how many people have loved your young face, you can know who is willing to endure the ruthless changes of the years. I thought, it must be because the stomach pain is so intense, otherwise in such a scene, how could I feel so inexplicably so eager to cry? I suddenly understood a sentence I saw on the Internet, and I felt like a shadow, as if I was abandoned by the loneliness of this world!
Just when the sadness that appeared in my heart was uncontrollable, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and I immediately straightened up, and I felt a creepy feeling, because at this time, there would be no one in the office, could it be ......? A bad noun "ghost" suddenly flashed through my mind
At this time, the lights in the office suddenly turned on. I turned my head and saw Liu Jing standing by the switch. She didn't look surprised at all when she saw me, I thought that my eyes must be red at this time, so I quickly lowered my head, wiped my glasses as if it was okay, and greeted her.
"It's you, why are you here?"
Liu Jing walked up to me and glanced at my computer.
"Why are you so desperate, no matter how busy you are at work, you have to pay attention to your body."
As he spoke, he placed a box of biscuits and a bottle of milk on my table. I looked at her in amazement, how do you know I'm hungry and haven't eaten? Liu Jing smiled, this is the second time I have seen Jiang Yan smile. To this day, I still remember her smile, which reminds me of a sentence I had just revised in my manuscript at the time: the little spring wrinkle that could not be blown away, the clear and slightly sad smile, which I did not see for many years afterward.
The first time I saw Liu Jing laughing, it was that time the company wanted to participate in an advertising exhibition, Mr. Liu named Liu Jing to go with me, I thought to myself that I didn't show up in the company how to find me, and later I learned that Su Qin sold me, I also joked that she didn't let me have a good life, but she called Ouyang Mingxuan, you still bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, right, I finally helped you win the qualification to participate in the competition, you and Liu Da Beauty completed the work together, if you don't want to, I'll go and tell Uncle Liu right now that I won't let you go.
Then for the next half a month, I was basically busy with Liu Jing and this, and it was for this reason that Liu Jing, who I thought would not have an intersection, also intersected. Not surprisingly, with my university writing and speech skills and Liu Jing's natural voice, there is no doubt that we won the championship in the end. On the podium, that was the first time I saw Liu Jing laughing.
"Are you done? If not, I can help you, don't doubt my writing skills, but I also graduated from the language and literature major. Wait a minute, I'll find you something to say when you're done."
Liu Jing suddenly looked at me with a smile and said, with a little playfulness.
