Chapter 15: The Backbone

This morning, after Wen Xun asked the head teacher Li Yiwen for a leave, he was ready to go to the school gate to wait for cloves. After Lilac told her about the editor's appointment the day before, the two made an appointment to meet at the school gate of Kaixian No. 1 Middle School, and then went to the city to meet the editor together.

However, after asking for leave, Wen Xun didn't plan to go back to the classroom to pack his things at all, and he didn't pack his things at all before he came to ask for leave. It turned out that after the last time she used the toilet to release the puppy pigeon, the girl now didn't believe Wen Xun's words at all. In the words of the girl, it is, "Wen Xun, you are a natural liar, and anything that comes out of your mouth cannot be trusted!" ”

So after Wen Xun asked for leave, he didn't go back to the classroom at all, lest he be caught by the puppy for various reasons to invite him to dinner, and then followed him all the way to the city - this still didn't let him live when he heard the news? After sneaking out of the school gate, he didn't wait long, and Wen Xun saw a car parked beside him. When the car door was opened, he saw Lilac waving to him from inside the car.

"Wen Xun, come on, come on, get in the car."

After getting into the car, Wen Xun looked at the interior of the face curiously, he really hadn't been in a van since he was so big. A few years ago, when the living standard of the family was okay, there were no such taxis in the county. When the noodles appeared, his wife fell ill.

It didn't take long for the noodles to drive to the bus station. Wen Xun and Ding Xiang got on the bus from the city to the city again, probably because it was a weekday, there was no one on the bus at this time, and the two of them found a middle position and sat side by side.

"Wen Xun, you said that the editor came to us this time, it should be to talk about the publication, right?" Not long after sitting down, Lilac began to ask Wen Xun uneasily.

Hearing Lilac's words, Wen Xun was stunned for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Lilac curiously for a few seconds, until Lilac's heart was about to get hairy, he smiled, and said in a low voice and very slowly: "Not necessarily, maybe people just look at what I write to have a little meaning, but there are too many things that need to be changed." Because if a book is usually going to be published, the author will be asked by the editor to constantly revise the manuscript, and in the end, the spirit is about to collapse, and he will be surprised to find that the manuscript in his hand is not like what he wrote......

When Lilac heard Wen Xun say this, she only felt as if she had found the backbone. I don't know what's wrong, although the book is Wen Xun's, but probably because she Lilac has made too much effort in this submission process, she is even more nervous than Wen Xun. Even Wen Xun, a little friend, should have been anxious and asked her to comfort her, but now it is completely reversed!

Suddenly, Lilac seemed to react to something, and she turned her head in surprise and kept looking at Wen Xun, as if Wen Xun was a Namek in a boy's skin. "What?" Wen Xun was uncomfortable with her view, so he asked.

"It's nothing ......" Lilac opened her pink lips and said only one sentence at the end. It turned out that Lilac was surprised why Wen Xun, a teenager, was so calm, and even became the backbone of her Lilac. But the moment she opened her mouth, she felt that she had found the answer - if her family was in the same situation as Wen Xun's family, it is estimated that she would have matured by now, right? Hey, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and when their peers in the city are still grinding their parents to buy computers and play games, Wen Xun has already begun to use his brains for the family's economic income.

"Eh, by the way, why do you seem to be familiar with publishing?" Lilac suddenly thought of another question. She, the former literary beautiful girl, doesn't know the specific details of the publication, how can Wen Xun, a child in the ravine, know so well?

However, Wen Xun just smiled and didn't speak. When Wen Xun was 12 years old, he read too many martial arts novels, so he simply wrote a martial arts novel, would he tell others casually? And after writing it, he also showed the manuscript to the professional, will he tell others casually?

Wen Xun didn't answer, but it aroused Lilac's curiosity even more - she felt more and more mysterious about Wen Xun, if other things could be explained by the children of poor families who were in charge early, then why did Wen Xun seem to be so familiar with everything?

But no matter how curious Lilac was, Wen Xun didn't talk about it, he just talked to Lilac about some other things. After a bumpy ride, the two finally arrived at the teahouse at 3 p.m.

Yuqing is different from other places, the long-term tradition is well preserved, and even the teahouse culture in the early years has not been destroyed. They made an appointment that this teahouse was not far from the publishing house, which could be regarded as making it more convenient for editors.

After entering the teahouse, the two went up to the second floor, found a random table by the window and sat down. Now there are still ten minutes before the agreed time, and the editor has not yet come, but there are a few old people in the teahouse who are drinking tea and setting up a dragon gate array.

The phrase "swinging the dragon gate array" is a unique saying in the Shuchuan region, and if it is translated into Mandarin, it is Kan Dashan, or to put it vulgarly, it is bragging.13

"Wen Xun, you said that there will be no problem with the novel, right? The editor wouldn't be looking for us and saying he didn't like the manuscript, would he? Although she had been comforted before, when she arrived at the ground, she saw that the appointed time was getting closer and closer, and Lilac began to panic again.

"Why not? He may just see that I am still young, and thinks that it is very interesting for me to write a manuscript with so many words at my age, so out of the kindness of the juniors on demand, it is also possible to ask me to say a few words......" Who knew that at this time, Wen Xun threw out this sentence very easily.

These words directly startled Lilac, her eyes widened, and she stared at Wen Xun with her dark eyes, she couldn't believe what Wen Xun said. "Then why aren't you in a hurry?" She was surprised for two seconds, and then immediately questioned Wen Xundao anxiously. She felt that even if she didn't treat her works as her own children, Wen Xun's family would be so difficult, didn't he write books just to earn money for his family, why is he so breezy now?

"The more you want something, the more you can't rush, and being anxious can only do bad things." Wen Xun lowered his head and took a sip of the boiled water given by the teahouse for free, and said slowly, "And I know that if this book is published, the results will definitely be good, and I have this confidence......

Hey! Wen Xun's aura! It is said that Wen Xun is a high-ranking person, or that he is a big man who has seen the wind and rain, and some people absolutely believe it! How can a teenager say such a thing? A hairy young man in his twenties can't even tell! In Beijing dialect, it is "this style, absolutely amazing!" It's a master! ”

Now Lilac feels like this, she simply looked at Wen Xun with a kind of admiration and incredulous eyes, as if she had re-acquainted Wen Xun today. She couldn't believe how this little brother, who was six or seven years younger than herself, was born, how did he be taught at home, and why was he so good?

At a time when his peers are still worried about exam results, can this Wen Xun be so indifferent to the crucial issue of publishing under the pressure of such a family burden? This scene is simply the same as the sentence "Success? Oh, I've just hit the road" is just as lethal!

This scene of Fa Ge in the advertisement is definitely the charm of a middle-aged successful person who kills all women of childbearing age from adolescence to menopause, and even Pu Cunxin has to stand aside! And the "fan", this aura, and this tone that Wen Xun is showing now are definitely the same as those of Fa Ge!

Under the oppression of this aura, Lilac is already a little subdued - not that she is attracted to Wen Xun, but subconsciously directly regards Wen Xun as the "leader", and is directly suppressed by Wen Xun!

But what she didn't know was that Wen Xun's self-confidence, this kind of lightness, came from the fact that he had already seen the future of this book in a prophetic dream - since there are so many manuscript fees in a quarter, will there be a problem with the quality of the book itself? If the quality of the book is okay, do you have to worry about whether the editor has taken a fancy to the book this time? This editor is blind, so find the next publishing house! China is so big, and all the editors are blind?

What's more, Wen Xun had repeatedly verified the situation of this book in his previous dreams, and he didn't really care about reciting this book in his dreams! He also found the salesman of the bookstore in his dream, and found customers from all walks of life who read and bought books in the bookstore, and he already knew the future of this "Sha Seng Diary" well!

At this time, the sound of "Oooo The man was about 170 tall, quite thin, with a pair of oval-shaped flat glasses on his face. The eyes are not big, the eyes are squinting, but the shoulders are very high, and it feels as if the shoulders are higher than his ears, it is simply a thin version of Fan Zhiyi!

This thin version of "Fan Zhiyi" looked around the second floor of the teahouse, and then walked straight to Wen Xun and the two. When he walked quickly to the two of them, he asked directly, "May I ask if it's Wenxun and Lilac?" After seeing Wen Xun nodding, he directly introduced himself, "My name is Lan Yang, I am the editor of Southwest Normal Publishing House, and I asked you to ...... before."

When he said this, Lan Yang had just pulled a chair from the table next to him, and before he could sit down, he was suddenly surprised to find that Wen Xun next to him stood up and stretched out his right hand in front of him. The surprised Lan Yang immediately stood up straight at this time, and then stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Wen Xun. As soon as he shook hands, he found that Wen Xun's right hand was very advantageous, and just by shaking hands, he conveyed an impression that Wen Xun was very stable and reliable.

And that's not all! Who can be so familiar with business etiquette in these teenagers? Don't say anything else, it's just that Lan Yang forgot to shake hands when he just came up! Not to mention that Wen Xun stood up and shook hands so professionally!

"That's right," Lan Yang was slightly surprised for two seconds, and then began to talk quickly about his true intention to ask the two of them over, "I want to talk to the two of you, especially Wen Xun, about your book......
