Chapter 3 Differential Treatment
Xiao Wang is the intern editor of the editorial department of Zhenwu Magazine, and it is not easy for him to enter this kind of big magazine, a newcomer who has just graduated and has no work experience, so Xiao Wang is also very serious about completing his work every day.
As soon as he got to work today, Xiao Wang opened his mailbox and prepared to look at the manuscripts assigned to him for review.
Xiao Wang is not satisfied with reading two novels in a row, the plot is old-fashioned, the surnames of the characters are not distinct, and he will only blindly pile up gorgeous sentences, why not write prose and what novels to write at this level, so Xiao Wang directly killed these two manuscripts.
Stretching his waist, Xiao Wang is ready to read the third article.
"Chang'an Rebellion"?
Could it be a novel that took place in ancient Chang'an? Does chaos mean strife in the rivers and lakes? Is it another kind of extremely clichΓ© martial arts novel?
I wanted to kill him directly, but Xiao Wang, who aspires to be a responsible editor, still took a deep breath and forced himself to read it.
After watching it for less than two minutes, Xiao Wang's complexion had changed, and he was no longer the initial boredom, but extremely serious.
The manuscript is only 5,000 words, and Xiao Wang quickly finished reading it, and after reading it, Xiao Wang was a little unsatisfied.
It is simply impossible for an editor to read a manuscript and see that he is still unsatisfied, because all editors will have a scrutinizing eye when reading the manuscript, but Xiao Wang must admit that he seems to have fallen into the world described in "Chang'an Chaos".
Xiao Wang knew that he had dug up a big treasure this time, and he had to send it to the editor-in-chief immediately.
Xiao Wang glanced at the author's contact information at the bottom of the manuscript, was slightly stunned, and then showed a trace of shock on his face: "No, it's actually a sophomore in high school, this ......"
Suppressing his shock in his heart, Xiao Wang immediately ran to the editor-in-chief's office, and when he opened the door, he found that the editor-in-chief was hugging a new female secretary, and as soon as the female secretary saw Xiao Wang rushing in, she hurried out of the editor-in-chief's arms like an electric shock, and then quickly left the editor-in-chief's office with her head down.
After the female secretary left, the editor-in-chief's face was very ugly: "Xiao Wang, why are you so impatient!" β
As soon as he talked about this, Xiao Wang's heart was so excited that he didn't hear the anger in the editor-in-chief's tone at all: "Editor-in-chief, I just found a very good novel, and I want to ask you to ......"
"Oh? Very good novel? Did Mr. Jin Yong or Mr. Gu Long write it? The editor-in-chief sneered, his tone full of mockery.
"Well, it's neither, it was written by a high school student."
"Huh?" The editor-in-chief almost laughed when he heard this, and then mocked with a cold face: "What can a high school student write, Xiao Wang, I now regret how I recruited you into the editorial department!" β
β¦β¦
Different from the editor-in-chief of the real martial arts editorial department, Xu Changtian, the editor-in-chief of the Wulin Fengyun editorial department, directly convened a meeting of the editors of the entire editorial department as soon as he got the Chang'an messy manuscript.
"Everyone has seen this Chang'an chaos, let's talk about what you think!" Xu Changtian propped his hands on the conference table, looked around and said.
"This is a very peculiar novel, the author uses witty penmanship to tell readers about a different martial arts, it subverts the traditional martial arts novels in the clear distinction between love and hate, making people can't tell what is chivalry and what is theft."
"Yes, and the author is very bold and creative, although Shaolin and Wudang are still authentic martial arts, but for their own selfishness, they gather people to fight, and they will steal; There are also many modern elements in martial arts, such as pawnshops also have passwords, and one of the main functions of the antidote is actually to make money. β
"The humor may seem nonsensical, but it can be thought-provoking, and the meaning is so rich that I can't believe it could have been written by a high school kid!"
All the editors have already read this manuscript, so they have expressed their opinions on this novel, and the editor-in-chief Xu Changtian heard it, pondered for a while and finally made a decision.
"Lan Li, this is the manuscript you found, it's up to you to negotiate with this little author, you must sign this novel!"
The one called Lan Li is a young woman who looks about twenty years old, with a ponytail neatly tied behind her head, looking very refreshing, and with a delicate and beautiful face, not to mention in this editorial department, even if she goes outside, she is also a first-class beauty.
And the beautiful editor was also very happy at this time, and said to Xu Changtian: "Don't worry, the editor-in-chief will definitely complete the task!" β
β¦β¦
Besides, Lin Nan was called to the office by the head teacher Fan Haidong as soon as he arrived at school in the morning.
Fan Haidong glanced at Lin Nan, squinted his small eyes and said, "I heard, you were sick yesterday afternoon?" β
"Ah, my stomach hurts!" Lin Nan had a sincere look on his face: "Really, I didn't lie to you!" β
"Oh, well, you can go back to class!" Fan Haidong was very generous this time, which greatly surprised Lin Nan, making the method he originally thought of dealing with Fan Haidong useless.
After Lin Nan left, a sneer flashed on Fan Haidong's face, absenteeism is absenteeism, and I am sick, you are a fool to me?
So Fan Haidong directly dialed Lin Nan's mother's phone: "Hey, are you Lin Nan's mother?" Ah, I'm his homeroom teacher Fan Haidong, your child......"
Poor Lin Nan didn't know at this time that Fan Haidong had already called his mother, and he was still lying on his stomach in class and pretending to be dead.
finally stayed up until he came home from school, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the house, Lin Nan smelled a very ominous atmosphere.
When I opened the door and went in, I found my mother looking at her with a cold face.
"Uh, Mom, what are you looking at me like this, I don't have flowers on my face, right?"
"Your homeroom teacher called me today and said you didn't go to class yesterday afternoon, why did you go?" Lin Mu asked in a cold voice.
As soon as Lin Nan heard this, he immediately greeted Fan Haidong a hundred times in his heart, why are these teachers all virtuous, and they will complain to their parents!
"Well, first of all, I have to admit that I didn't go to class and stayed at home, and secondly, I want to make it clear that I didn't go to class because I was lazy or playful......"
"What's the reason for that?" Mother Lin frowned at this time
"Actually, I'm doing a big ...... Affair! Lin Nan deliberately dragged the big characters very long.
"What's the big deal?"
"Write a novel!" Lin Nan nodded at Mother Lin with a serious face.
Mother Lin was slightly stunned after hearing Lin Nan's big event, and then said angrily: "Aren't you not doing your job, studying is what you should do now!" β
"How can this be called not doing business?" Lin Nan made an aggrieved expression: "Mom, listen to me, reading is indeed a very meaningful thing, but your son and I now, my ideological realm has been sublimated, and I have already done something more meaningful - writing books!" Mom, don't you think writing a book is much more meaningful than reading a book? β
"You don't talk to me poorly, you want to fly before you learn to go? It's only the second year of high school, and you have a sad face to write an 800-word essay, like a woman giving birth to a child, you can't hold it back for a long time, so you still say that you write a novel! Mother Lin was already a little annoyed when she heard this.
As soon as Mother Lin's words came out, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Lin Nan's face, but there was no way to refute it given that what his mother said was indeed the truth.
But this is not to say that Lin Nan's level is really so bad, but the composition of high school, everyone who has written it knows, if it is good, it is called composition, and if it is unpleasant, it is 800 words, whether it is from the proposition of the educator or the normative writing of the educated, it is extremely boring and boring, so not only the person who writes is tired, but also the person who reads it, everyone is deeply affected.
But now is obviously not the time to start a seminar with his mother on this issue, Lin Nan can only pretend to be aggrieved, hoping to get his mother's sympathy: "I'm really writing a novel, and it's all sent to the editorial department!" β
"What newsroom would ask for something written by a child?" Mother Lin was already very angry at this time, she decided that Lin Nan was lying to her, what can a high school student write?
Just when the two of them were at a stalemate, the phone at home suddenly rang, and after glaring at Lin Nan fiercely, Mother Lin temporarily let Lin Nan go to answer the phone, and the trace of that glance was very clear: When I finish answering the phone, I will clean you up!
Seeing this, Lin Nan could only lament that his fate was unlucky, and he was silently ready to be educated, he already had little hope of convincing his mother, after all, he knew his mother too well.
