PS: The last chapter was a hand error, it was Ahsan's "It's Been Quiet", sorry.

May 12th.

In the editing room, under the dazzling light, Liu Yuchuan slowly sipped a sip of rich tea, looked at the computer, and clicked on a submission from thousands of miles away.

He is the editor-in-chief of Luoshui, the top prose magazine in China, and is 43 years old this year.

In terms of literary literacy, Liu Yuchuan has good attainments, especially in prose, and even he himself is an extremely famous essayist in the past few years. I was invited by someone to come and become the editor-in-chief. In normal times, I like to read prose manuscripts while drinking tea, and I feel a little at ease.

Slowly reviewing the manuscript on the computer screen, the essayist's slender eyebrows began to converge in the middle, a displeased expression, and the cup kept touching his lips, the tea moistened his lips, but few drops could reach his throat.

After scanning the whole article, Liu Yuchuan's brows relaxed, sighed, crossed off the manuscript, and did not continue to review, but took a sip of strong tea and gave himself a few minutes to rest.

The review of this draft really made him physically and mentally exhausted.

If it is really based on his critical eyes, these submitted prose can also be called good, well-organized, and smooth, meeting the needs of scattered and undispersed, but it is still a little short of his needs.

After all, he has been immersed in the genre of prose for many years, and if even his own level is far from perfect, then why choose that prose to write it himself?

After closing his eyes and being silent for a moment, letting the fragrance of tea circulate on the tip of his tongue for a long time, Liu Yuchuan's spirit was much better and he opened his eyes. I clicked on a submission again.

And the name of this essay is very peculiar, called "Dujiangyan".

Dujiangyan?

Wasn't that built by Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County of Qin State, and his son?

Looking at the author's name again, it is the world-famous teenager, Gu Yang.

Didn't this person travel with Master Ye Qian? Is it a travelogue essay?

Thinking like this, he clicked on the article.

"Still. In my case, fame is not a top priority, I only care about the quality of the article. ”

With this thought, Liu Yuchuan's palm was still holding the cup of tea, it was still warm, and his eyes fell on the first line of handwriting.

Immediately, the article burst into view.

"I thought that the most exciting project in Chinese history was not the Great Wall, but Dujiangyan.

The Great Wall is, of course, also very great. No matter how Meng Jiangnu wept bitterly and looked at it from a distance, this suffering nation actually used manpower to build a barrier of 10,000 miles between the wild mountains and deserts, leaving a kind of pride of human willpower for the planet we live in. The Great Wall has no taste in the Badaling area, but in the Gandong, Shanxi, Fanxi, and Nameng areas, the strong cold wind is whistling among the intermittent ruins of the wall, and the faint sunset and the desolate wilderness dissolve into one breath, making people devote themselves to the great horror of history, time, and nation. It feels much deeper......"

As he read deeper, he involuntarily put down the teacup in his hand. Read it word by word.

When the full text was finished, the self-proclaimed extremely critical essayist was still unsatisfied and read through the whole article again.

I have to say, this is really a splendid article!

From the beginning to the end, the whole article is overflowing with a faint text charm, which makes people very comfortable to read. Even Liu Yuchuan, who thinks he has seen countless good articles, has to praise it from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Yang, although he is very famous, Liu Yuchuan only feels that he is famous, but his substantive talent is somewhat lacking. Now that such a "Dujiangyan" has come out, it is full of humanistic care, and his writing skills are extremely profound, and his opinion of Gu Yang has changed immediately.

He is really a real talent!

"This article can be placed in the blockbuster recommendation of "Luoshui", and it would be better if there were more haode essays that could be published in magazines in the future."

Thinking like this, a thought immediately rippled in Liu Yuchuan's heart, and immediately asked someone to find Gu Yang's contact information, and then called.

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Gu Yang? I am Liu Yuchuan, the editor-in-chief of Luoshui magazine. ”

"Oh, hello, it turned out to be Mr. Liu Yuchuan, who has admired the name for a long time, is there anything you are looking for me?"

A calm and restrained voice came from there, and the words were appropriate and polite, which made Liu Yuchuan feel good immediately.

"That's the case, I've read "Dujiangyan", I personally like it very much, it's very layered, I don't know if you have any other haode prose works, can you continue to contribute to our magazine?"

"So that's the case, well, this is naturally okay, I still have two manuscripts here, and after the rest is finished, I will send them over, I have been traveling with Mr. Ye Qian, and I will stay for a period of time in every place, if there is any more creation, then I will vote for you again."

Hearing this, Liu Yuchuan did not answer immediately, but groaned in his heart.

There's also a manuscript.

In this case, if there are three articles, I am not in a hurry to post several articles in a row, so you can plan carefully.

According to Gu Yang's current fame, if they can create a column in their magazine, it will have a good progressive effect on the sales of the magazine. Before, with the serious spirit of literature, Liu Yuchuan didn't expect this, and now that he has accurately certified the talent of the other party, then while sticking to his own bottom line, he should consider increasing the sales of the magazine, which is also what an editor-in-chief should do.

However, this is just an idea, and the quality of the other party's article still needs to be reviewed.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuchuan pondered his words for a moment and replied, "Mr. Gu Yang, can you give me those two essays first?" ”

"There's no problem with that."

Gu Yang naturally agreed very happily, and a few minutes later, two more essays were sent.

After carefully reviewing it, Liu Yuchuan couldn't help but nodded.

The absolute boutique article is not inferior to the one "Dujiangyan".

The quality of the prose is guaranteed, then the conditions can also be discussed.

"Mr. Gu Yang, I have read all three of your creations, I appreciate it very much, I like it very much, if I am lucky, the magazine here can create a column for you, I don't know if I would like to write it? If there is enough space, then it is even possible to publish a collection of essays in the future. ”

There was silence for a few seconds, and then he replied.

"Haode, yes, no problem, but I can't guarantee this speed."

"Ha, don't worry, haode literary works always need time to brew, this time, I can afford to wait, as long as it is not far away, at least three have been published, and it is still no problem in the past two months."

"Thank you very much for your leniency, Editor-in-Chief Liu."

"It's also our magazine's honor to publish your work in our magazine, but what is the name of this column? Let's talk about it first. ”

"Let's call it 'Cultural Journey'."

"Well, it's a very haode name, and it's very charming."

After laughing and talking for a few more sentences, he hung up the phone, and Liu Yuchuan, who had been reviewing the manuscript for a long time, was in high spirits, walked out of his office with his head held high, and shouted to the people in the editorial department: "There is something big to do, everyone!" ”

On the other side of the phone, Gu Yang also put away his mobile phone, was stunned for a moment, and laughed silently.

Since his travels, he and Ye Qian have traveled to a lot of places, seen a lot of scenery, greatly increased their experience, and can't help but think of Mr. Yu Qiuyu's travel essay "Cultural Journey" in his previous life.

One by one, day by day, he is not only publishing excellent cultural works from his previous life, but also cultivating his own literary heart.

In a few days, I can also try to mix my own works in this transportation to see if I can be selected, and this is also a test of my current strength.

With the future in mind, he stepped out of the room he was in and looked out.

It was a calm blue sea.

The golden sand, the undulating waves, the boundless blue sky, a few white birds are flying around in a low undulating air, and the slightly humid wind is paving the surface, bringing the boy a faint sense of comfort.

Facing this magnificent scene, there is an indescribable joy and eagerness in my heart.

After watching for a long time, Gu Yang shouted from his heart, and his voice was not completely eliminated in this wave of sound, but became more and more shocked.

"I, facing the sea, are blooming in spring." (To be continued......)
