Chapter 425: Sick Leave
Two days later, Miyuki Kitagawa, who received a call from Mustard Press asking her to take the time to come, needed to go to the hospital on the pretext that she was suddenly unwell, so she asked the school for half a day off. She acted quite well, but she really deceived the teacher in the school infirmary.
Ishikawa Shia, who thought she was really sick, was so anxious that she couldn't even skip class, so she had to accompany her best friend to the hospital. I am not under the banner of "friendship first", so as to make excuses for boredom in school and skip class. Although he is not smart, but he works hard, Ishikawa has always been a person who would rather give up eating than study. Therefore, the fact that he willingly made such a heavy sacrifice is enough to prove that Kitagawa Miyuki's status in his mind is extremely important.
Kitagawa Miyuki, who didn't need Ishikawa to accompany him to the hospital at all, pulled the other party aside, and quietly told her the truth: "I'm fine, I'm not sick at all, but I'm just going to go to Mustard Press for a trip." ”
"What are you going to do there?" Ishikawa Nisaki, who couldn't understand it at all, looked at his best friend Dao with a puzzled face.
After looking at Miyuki Kitagawa, who was empty, she smiled with confidence and said, "If you promise me to keep it secret, you will tell you that you know." ”
Realizing the importance of the matter, Ishikawa Shia, who nodded frequently at her, the three fingers of his left hand were already erected and said, "I swear, I will never reveal a word to anyone else." It's a secret between the two of us. ”
"I excused myself for being sick for nothing other than to go to Mustard Press. If nothing happens, a single book of my first novel will be available in the near future. Miyuki Kitagawa was full of anticipation in her expression, and her tone was filled with cheerful joy.
"Really?" It's unbelievable, Ishikawa Nia, with his hands clenched into fists on his chest, really rejoicing for her.
Miyuki Kitagawa, who tapped her head hard. He still looked at her with a smile and said, "You have to keep this secret for me." ”
Ishikawa Nia, who nodded her head again and again, was full of anticipation to get her book. She didn't envy, jealousy, and hatred, and thought that this qiē was natural and natural, after all, Kitagawa Miyuki's father was a national writer. What's more, since the two met in elementary school, I knew that each other's unswerving dream was to become a writer.
"I won't tell you more, I'll leave." Miyuki Kitagawa waved at her. Suddenly I felt a light walk. She walked with the wind when she walked, and she turned back again with a smile.
After walking out of the school gate, she went directly to the mustard publishing house. Miyuki Kitagawa, who walked into the front desk of the company hall, did not go to the front desk lady to "report" like the vast majority of people, nor did she wait to see the editor, editor-in-chief, and editor-in-chief like the group of people sitting in the hall......
She took out her mobile phone from her bag, flipped to the number that called her, and directly refuted it: "Hello, I'm Miyuki Kitagawa ." Right now. I've arrived in your downstairs hall. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll have someone pick you up." The president of Mustie Hui Publishing House naturally knew that she was the daughter of Takeshita Kusa and the goddaughter of Sakai Chie, so he treated her with a gentle voice.
Miyuki Kitagawa replied with a "thank you", and only then hung up the phone. She felt that it was always not good to stand here, and when she saw an empty seat on the other side, she walked straight over. Think to yourself, as long as there are people coming out of the staff entrance. Then just go over. Then, she went upstairs with the other party.
"You're here in person. Or see editor? "A young woman about twenty years old, with a very average appearance and small eyes, took the initiative to talk to Miyuki Kitagawa as soon as she sat down.
"Someone called me and asked me to come over. It wasn't made clear on the phone. This should be for me to meet the editor! "Miyuki Kitagawa said truthfully. Just talk to the other party like this.
It's true that there is no young woman who takes her seriously in her heart, although she wears the uniform of a prestigious school, but the clothes show that she is just a middle school student. What's more, the mustard press is known in the industry for its high standards and strict requirements, and ordinary manuscripts here are completely hopeless.
This scripture will inevitably receive higher than the market standard. The manuscript fee shall not be less than twice the market price. Money is not the most important and attractive, but the most important and attractive is that the platform is good. If you are talented, capable, talented, and powerful...... People who dream of becoming writers, whether they write strict literature or popular literature, will not be buried, after all, the editorial team is strong, and there are many marketing channels and outlets...... That's the absolute No.1 in the industry. What's more, there is also the famous national writer Mr. Takeshita Kusaoji personally in charge.
"To tell you the truth, I also received a call from the editor here, so I came here. If it hadn't been for the accident, my short story would have been published in the main popular literary journal of the Mustard Press. The young woman smiled proudly.
As soon as the voice fell, it was accompanied by the people around him who said "It's amazing" in unison. After all, in their opinion, this is the stepping stone to recognition. There will be a first, there will be a second, and countless times after that.
"As for being so happy? Isn't it just a short story officially published? There was a female Wenqing who was quite unconvinced in her heart, and suddenly blurted out out of shape: "I'm sorry, I lost my words." ”
"Let's be a layman! I don't understand! Don't underestimate the fact that it's just a short story. I think that at the beginning, the famous work "Rashomon" by the National University writer Mr. Takeshita Kusa was a short story. Fiction is not about short stories, medium stories, long stories, but about touching the hearts of readers. The young man who interjected and talked eloquently flicked his glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained: "If this can be published publicly, it means that there is a chance." If your novel has received a lot of praise from readers, it's time to celebrate it a little. At that time, it is very likely that the editor of Mustard Press will take the initiative to sign a long-term contract with you. This means that you are professional, and you will officially debut in the form of a single book in the future, and you will finally get through. At that time, they will package you in various ways and put promotional resources on you...... Once it becomes popular, it is just around the corner to become a popular fiction writer. If there are any more novels that are remade into film and television dramas, or anime...... Just steal the fun! (To be continued.) )
