This morning, the editor-in-chief Feng of "Happy Forest" had just come to the office when he heard the secretary report: "Editor-in-chief, there is a person named Fang Hongjian who wants to meet you and came over early in the morning. ”

"Fang Hongji?" Editor-in-Chief Feng repeated the name, and then immediately reacted: "Oh, it turned out to be the Dr. Fang who saved people at the Sufu drinking party that night, it seems that he said that he had a novel to submit that day." Okay, let him in. ”

In fact, Editor-in-Chief Feng guessed correctly, the purpose of Fang Hong's gradual arrival today is to submit, because this is the easiest way to earn the first pot of gold in his plan, but he did not dare to copy "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the Republic of China like those literary copyists, he chose a work that was a fire during the Republic of China, that is, "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" that Mr. Lin Yutang will start creating a year later.

In fact, this book was originally written in English by Mr. Lin Yutang, and his original intention was to enable foreigners to introduce Chinese society correctly, comprehensively, and in detail, it sold more than 50,000 copies in just six months after its publication in the United States at the end of 1939. In 1975, the work was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Such a classic naturally conquered Editor-in-Chief Feng at the beginning, so much so that he couldn't even care about being rude, until he buried himself in reading the first three chapters in one go, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Yao is finally in a desperate situation." ”

At this time, he realized that Fang Hongjian was still sitting beside him, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm really embarrassed, Mr. Fang, your book is so wonderful, it is really unbearable to release the volume, please bear with me for the rude just now." ”

Fang Hong hurriedly said politely: "Actually, your state just now is the biggest compliment to me as an author. Then he paused and asked, "Eh, Editor-in-Chief Feng, do you have any hope that my book will be published in your journal?" ”

"What does it mean to be hopeful? This book must be published in our "Happy Forest", and if such a classic is missed, it will be a dereliction of duty on my part as the editor-in-chief! Mr. Fang, don't worry, I'll let them arrange the layout. With that, Editor-in-Chief Feng was about to stand up.

Fang Hong hurriedly stopped him and said a little embarrassedly: "Editor-in-chief Feng, we haven't talked about the manuscript fee yet." ”

Editor-in-chief Feng slapped his forehead and blamed himself: "Oh, look at my brain, I actually forgot about this important matter." Then he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Fang, although I have only read the first three chapters, your "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" gives me no less than Mr. Zhang Hatshui's "Laughing Karma", but after all, you are not as famous as Mr. Zhang, so I plan to discount half of his standard as your remuneration, that is, four yuan per thousand words, what do you think?" ”

Editor-in-chief Feng said that Zhang Hatshui was the most famous novelist during the Republic of China, and his two classic works "Laughing Karma" and "The Family of Gold Powder" were not only popular all over the country at the time, but also popular even after being adapted into a TV series and put on the screen in modern times, so his remuneration was almost the highest at that time. And the reason why Editor-in-Chief Feng did this is because this "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" is really well written, and secondly, just like last night's mentality, he plans to make friends with this prospective son-in-law of Su Mansion in advance.

Faced with this much higher remuneration than he expected, Fang Hongjian was naturally overjoyed, and even claimed to be grateful: "Oh, this, this is really thank you to Editor-in-Chief Feng." ”

"If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and create the plot behind, to be honest, I can't wait to see it now."

After coming out of "Happy Forest", Fang Hong hurriedly rushed to Zhongshan Hospital, because today was the big day for the first trial of penicillin, but to his surprise, he did not see Mr. Tang, the patient who tried penicillin this time, in the clinic, but a very beautiful white girl.

Seeing Fang Hongji's puzzled expression, Ying Yuanyue pulled Fang Hongjian aside and explained in a low voice: "Hongji, that's the case, as soon as this guy heard that he was going to use a new medicine, he was afraid of death and didn't dare to come. He said that we should give medicine to this Russian girl named Natasha first, and if her illness is cured, then he will come and treat her. But don't worry, I've already talked to him about the price, and he'll pay a premium for both treatments, but only if the treatment is effective. ”

"Oh, that's what happened, but why is Mr. Tang so sure that as long as we can cure this Miss Natasha, then we can also cure his illness? Could it be that this Miss Natasha also has syphilis? Fang Hong asked with some puzzlement.

Ying Yuanyue snorted disdainfully and replied, "Of course he is sure, because Old Tang's syphilis was infected by this Natasha." To tell you the truth, this Natasha is actually a high-ranking Russian chronicle, and Old Tang was infected after doing that with her, so he also caused this to himself. ”

After learning the situation, Fang Hong, who gradually sighed in his heart, "Your circle is really messy", invited Natasha to the consultation room, checked it briefly, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because Natasha's condition is not too serious, and it is only a stage of syphilis, so even the penicillin that he is currently making in the laboratory should be cured.

Although he was not worried, it was obvious that Natasha was not relaxed, and after seeing Fang Hong's examination, he asked with an anxious expression: "How is it, Doctor Fang, can my illness be cured?" ”

Fang Hong gradually thought for a moment, and then replied: "Well, as long as your body does not reject my new medicine, I think it will definitely be effective within half a month." ”

"So that means I'll be able to work again in half a month? Whew, that's great, Dr. Fang. Natasha said happily.

As soon as he heard her say this, Fang Hong suddenly felt very speechless, and persuaded: "Miss Natasha, even if this disease is cured, I advise you to change your job, after all, your job is too easy to contract this kind of disease, and I am resistant to this medicine, which means that after you inject this medicine many times, your body will gradually get used to it, so the effectiveness will slowly decrease." ”
