Chapter 0040: I Can't Pick Your Turn!
The editorial department of Youth Digest runs a company.
Every Monday morning, it is a regular meeting that cannot be shaken.
Su Guangsheng arrived at the office very early and sat quietly at the top.
Su Guangsheng seemed to be in a good mood today, at least he didn't lower his head like he did last week, but looked at the people who came one after another from time to time, but there was no trace of impatience on his face.
In the past, there wasn't much time for him to wait for others.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
"Alright, let's start today's regular meeting. First of all, let's announce last week's sales results. Su Guangsheng looked at everyone, with a smile on his face, no need to say it, others can also see it, it should be a good thing!
"The week before, I said at the regular meeting on Monday that sales fell by nearly 50,000 that week, probably due to the influence of youth literature. And then last week we made up for it, and for that, first of all, we congratulate ourselves. ”
"Bang Bang ......"
After a few sparse applause, Su Guangsheng continued: "I want to hear everyone's opinions on the continuous increase in sales in the past two weeks. ”
Compared with the last time, it was obviously not moving, and many people were chatting very "happily".
There are sycophants who say that the leaders are well-organized, and there are also those who boast that their team members are wise......
Anyway, as long as the leader is happy, it is naturally easy to hear about anything.
Yu Zhengzhong is trying his best to praise Mohe, saying that it is because he can turn the tide or something.
"Okay, what everyone said makes sense, let's have a dinner together after work in the evening. Is there anything else you would like to report? Su Guangsheng stopped everyone.
"Nope!" The answer was very loud, as if it had been discussed, and the audience basically shouted these two words.
"Yes." Yang Lin shouted a word at this time, which was very discordant with the surroundings......
Everyone stopped, and their eyes were very unified to Yang Lin, not very kind.
The less time you spend in an office, especially in a regular meeting, the more fortunate it is, because less time means there are no extra things to attend to.
Yang Lin glanced at the editor-in-chief Zhou An, who nodded to him silently, and hugged the stack of letters in his hand in front of the editor-in-chief: "Editor-in-chief, this is a letter from readers, and many of them are related to the author named Mengxiao." ”
Su Guangsheng frowned, with his many years of experience, when he heard Meng Xiao's name again, he should know the content of these letters without reading it.
"Well, needless to say. If you don't talk about this, I want to talk about it. Well, after the meeting ends, you can contact the author named Mengxiao. If he wishes to change his pseudonym, we would be more than welcome from him. The manuscript fee is set at 500 words per 1,000. ”
He didn't want to lose such a talent, but this pen name had already been ordered to be killed by Mo He.
That morning, Lin Feng finally got his wish and became the same table with Ling Xiaolu again.
This time for fun, the day is full of fart, and there is no shortage of Xia Tianmo's eyes.
When he came home from school in the evening, he turned on the instant messaging and Lin Feng received two messages.
One of them was sent by the magazine before dawn, signed by Shi Zheng, who was Lin Feng's editor-in-charge.
"Hello Mengxiao, please contact me after seeing the message."
The other is a message sent by Yang Lin, a signed youth digest. The content of the message is not quite the same, but the meaning is the same, they all say that Lin Feng will reply after seeing the message.
"Hello, I'm here, what's the matter with me?" Lin Feng typed the same words under the two pieces of information, and continued to browse the web, because he found that the development of online literature in this world was also good, and there had been a lot of improvement.
After a while, a tick sounded.
It's the information of Shi Zheng.
"I'm Shi Zheng from the editorial department before dawn, and I'm your editor-in-charge. There are two things I want to tell you. ”
"Tell me." Lin Feng straightened his sitting posture and sent two words over, in his opinion, this should be something related to his book.
"That's the kind of Meng Xiao, first of all, I would like to thank you for submitting your article to our magazine, the quality of your book is very good."
doesn't talk about the manuscript directly, but he is filming his own sycophants here, which is a bit abnormal. Seeing these two innocuous words, Lin Feng suddenly felt some bad premonitions.
"Thank you, please tell me anything directly." Lin Feng simply sent such a message, my brother was busy preparing to invite the beautiful woman out to dinner, so he didn't have much time to brag about it with you here.
On the other side of the computer, Shi Zheng was stunned, obviously he didn't expect his meaning to be seen through like this, so he simply stopped carrying around.
"It's like this, classmate Meng Xiao, we read the article you sent very well. However, on behalf of the magazine, I would like to make a reluctant request to you. Don't be surprised if what I say makes sense to you. ”
"Is my manuscript not suitable for your content? It doesn't matter, just return it to me, anyway, I voted for six magazines at the same time and already returned five. Lin Feng mentioned these two sentences very directly.
"No, no, no, your article is very good. I want to say, Meng Xiao, can you change your pen name? After typing this line, Shi Zheng felt that something was not appropriate, and added, "If this is the case, it may be of better help to your future development." ”
Lin Feng was a little displeased when he heard this, and said in his heart, why do I submit a manuscript, and you still have to stipulate what name I use? The moment he replied: I wonder why?
Shi Zheng replied: "This, don't get me wrong, it's not that we don't think your name is bad, but to give an opinion, if you can change your pen name, you will get better results." You can think about it, and if that doesn't work, we can return your manuscript to you. ”
Lin Feng smiled miserably, what kind of logic is this?
Let me change my name without even saying a reason, and reject the manuscript if I don't agree?
This is not a celebrity looking at the face, is it against feng shui to just have a name?
"Okay." Lin Feng sent two words over.
"Great, what name would you like to change?" Shi Zheng thought that Lin Feng had compromised because of his rejection.
"I mean, you can just return the manuscript to me, or just throw it in the trash."
"It's... Don't you think again? Shi Zheng was a little anxious, he was reluctant to throw away such a good manuscript.
"Di Di Di ......" another message came.
Lin Feng opened it and saw that it was sent by the person who claimed to be Yang Lin - Hello, I am Yang Lin, the editor of Youth Digest, and the manuscript you submitted to our Youth Digest last time was included in me, is it convenient to talk about it now?
Seeing this gentle tone, Lin Feng felt that the anger just now had subsided a little, and he directly clicked off Shi Zheng's window and ignored it anymore, he didn't want to pay more attention to this kind of bandit logic.
"I'm here, do you have anything to say?"
"Hello, there is something I would like to talk to you about. You have a good relationship with Lan Ruo, I think it was Lan Ruo who helped you submit the manuscript last time. ”
Lin Feng was a little speechless, why did these two people talk like this tonight?
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"That's right, we saw your article, it's very good, and our magazine can offer a price of 300 or even 500 words per 1,000 words, but we have a request, can you change your pen name?"
Seeing such a manuscript fee, Lin Feng felt that this treatment was not bad. If you press 500 words per 1,000 words, a manuscript is 2,000 to 3,000 words, and four articles a month, so that you can earn 4,000 to 6,000 yuan in just one month's manuscript fee, although it is not a lot for him, but for a writer, it is already a lot.
But in addition to the manuscript fee, what caught his attention more was the last half of the sentence.
asked himself to change his pen name again, and Lin Feng finally felt that something was wrong.
I submitted this manuscript to Youth Digest once, and then it was rejected, and then submitted to six other magazines, and in the end, only two magazines were willing to contact me.
And then just these two people, all of them asked themselves to change their names.
Isn't there anything wrong with this name?
"Can I ask why?" This time Lin Feng didn't directly refuse, he wanted to know why.
"Well, I can't say. I can only tell you that the scolding war on the Youth Literature Network that day had a not very good impact on you. What do you think of my proposal? ”
"Not good, goodbye." Lin Feng directly typed these words and returned the instant messaging.
Speaking of which, no matter how stupid Lin Feng is, he should have thought of it, this should be a good thing done by the "old-timer" named Mohe.
If you don't take it, don't accept it, there will always be a time when you regret it.
Now Lin Feng can only comfort himself like this......
I came up with the name myself, how could I change it because of those few hundred dollars? I can't pick it up yet!
Muttering this in his heart, Lin Feng called out to the two beauties who had just changed their clothes and went to the dinner table outside together.
As I walked, I thought about it, even if this road didn't work, there were more roads. If you don't write a physical book, don't you still have an online article! The sea of masterpieces in the previous life is gone! Why hang on this one way out.
After returning home that night, Lin Feng began to implement his second plan - to enter the online text.
In his previous life, Lin Feng liked to read novels very much, and when he was just in junior high school, he set up a book rental card, and when he didn't have classes, he usually had one book a day, which was fine.
Later, in the second year of junior high school, online literature began to rise gradually, and e-books became fashionable.
remembers that at that time, his favorite thing to watch was "The First Close Contact" by the ruffian Cai.
The poetic moments, poetic pictures, poetic sorrows, and poetic dialogues in the text are matched with the flowing words and sentences, without a sense of disobedience.
These are deeply imprinted in his heart.
The light dancing and flying in the text, together with the song "Light Dance and Flying Yang" of Shuimu Nianhua at that time, were blended together, which made him feel extremely suitable and beautiful.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng thought, well, let's take the book "Covering the Sky" of the great god of Chendong in the previous life and copy it.
Singularity Chinese Network is the world's largest online literature station, so Lin Feng decided to post the book here.
Create an account, upload articles, a series of operations, he won't ...... any of them
With the help of Lan Ruo, he created a name for himself "Sword Wind", because Lan Ruo said, you speak cheaply, this name is the most suitable. Well, the main thing is that Lan Ruo, with Lin Feng's "help", has become a joke.
Two hours later, the three chapters were coded, I chose to upload, and with a small expectation, I went back to the house to sleep......

Well, it's three o'clock, alas! I'll tell you, I'm asleep in the yards!
