Chapter 111. Literary Calling

One is a junior editor of the Reading Department of Yingxuetang Bookstore, with a monthly salary of 3.5K with meal allowance, reimbursement of cross-border communication expenses incurred due to official duties, a large and small weekly work system, and 5 days of paid annual leave every year.

The main travel opportunity for this job is to do the factual confirmation of the content of the manuscript.

Yingxuedo Shoten is a cross-border publishing house with a long history, and for many years it has been known for its high sense of social responsibility on both sides of the Kaigahara Kukai.

In order to avoid misleading readers, Yingxuetang Bookstore will confirm all non-fiction facts in the original manuscript before the publication of the new book.

Once the original manuscript of a new book contains non-fiction information that has not been approved by Lessons from the World, the Proofreading Department of Yingxuetang Bookstore will send editors to different worlds to confirm the facts.

For example, where are the eyes of Ma Wangye, can a rapper of Cerberus blood participate in the Yellow Springs hosted by Tongue Pulling Hell, can a pig-headed boy really dream of a mechanical bunny girl senior sister, is there meat floss in the meat muffin, is there a shady scene where the selection of the brave from the other world gives priority to Sakurajima male high school students, etc.

However, this job requires a high level of mental resistance on the part of the candidate.

Because there are many evil gods and strange writers who have signed contracts with Yingxuetang Bookstore, some of the original manuscripts submitted to the Proofreading Department for review are full of inexplicable chaotic knowledge, and just reading them will cause irreparable damage to people.

Therefore, the Proofreading Department of Yingxuetang Bookstore requires candidates to choose any one of the "Book of Necrons", "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Sutra", "Anonymous Sacrifice Book" and "The Secret of the Worm" in the interview process.

Liang De really didn't have much confidence in the spiritual resistance of his miscellaneous Yuan Shen, so the option of Yingxuetang proofreading and editing was placed last by him.

The second option in line is the salesperson of the Far Eastern Dimension Witch Department Store.

The monthly basic salary is 1.5K, and the commission is 10% according to the sales of the month, all year round.

The company does not reimburse any expenses, but the supplier sometimes provides some allowances and subsidies for the salesman, and the comprehensive salary of the white robbery salesperson is generally around 7K.

That is, to do more and get more, to do less and get less, all by ability, hand stop mouth stop.

For a young man like Liang De, who has nothing and doesn't need to sleep, it is a good job.

However, because the Spirit of the World No. 404 of the Blue Star Great System has entered the active period of the millennium, the overall economy on both sides of the Boundary Plains and the Sea is currently in a downward trend, and the investment of extraordinary biological groups tends to be conservative and prudent.

The Far Eastern Dimension Witch Department Store mainly sells all kinds of products that fulfill strange wishes, and almost does not do after-sales service, and the positive and negative reviews over the years are extreme, and in such an environment, sales and profit margins are declining every year.

Coupled with the influence of overly cautious pop culture, the financial report of the Far Eastern Dimension Witch Department Store last year was very unsightly, and the stock price has fallen several times in a row this year.

Although Liang De was also a sunset industry warrior in his previous life, if he had a choice, he didn't really want to go to this kind of dull traditional enterprise.

At present, Liang De's number one favorite position in his heart is the courier of Kukai Zhongzheng Express.

The basic salary is 2K, free four-season tooling and low-rent cross-border tricycles, and couriers can get 1.5 crystal clusters per ticket for receiving parcels in the offshore world on the other side.

In addition, the courier can get a certain commission according to the freight and the weight of the delivery, for example, when the weight of the delivery exceeds 10 tons, the courier can get a commission of 0.35 crystal clusters for every 1 ton exceeded. The monthly comprehensive salary is around 5K.

The most important thing is that the mortality rate is low, Zhongzheng Express is famous for its thousands of miles and wind, and the number of employees who die unexpectedly every year is very small, which is very safe.

The disadvantage of this job is that the express route is relatively stable, basically it is to go around in several prosperous worlds on the other side of the coast, and after being promoted, it will be transferred to a management post, and the opportunity for cross-border business trips will become fewer, which conflicts with Liang De's plan to return to his hometown.

Liang De lit a cigarette and leaned against the window of the cross-border bus and thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a clue.

Why don't you find a company for an internship first?

But every mature company will squeeze interns, and I am less than 200 yuan, so I am not suitable for being squeezed by others.

Annoying.

But luckily, someone is more annoying than me.

Liang De glanced at the eel-headed Anonymous not far away.

Since this product was forcibly bound to the cross-border communication premium package by Brother Mo Feisheng, he stared at the deduction record on his mobile phone every day, his two fish eyes were red, his mouth was full of words, and he walked crookedly, basically useless.

Another "-5 crystal cluster" deduction message was sent to Anonymous's mobile phone, and the eel head was like a camel that was pressed to the last straw, and slipped to the ground in a state of exhaustion, with a desperate sound in his mouth:

"This day, when is it a ......"

Liang De smoked a cigarette and looked at the fish, and suddenly remembered a short poem by Tianzhu.

"The feeling of a nameless day climbs on my heart, just like the green moss, climbing around the old tree."

Someone also read a short poem of Tianzhu next to him:

"Anxiety calms down in my heart, like twilight falling in the silence of the mountains."

Liang De looked away in surprise and found Tai Fengxian holding a glass of Dry Martini, looking out of the window with a melancholy expression.

"Teacher Fengxian, do you also like Robin Dranath's poems?"

"I don't like it, but my affection for Robin Denaat is more of a sympathy between literary scholars.

I don't like his style, but when I see his poems and see that this person is not under me, I understand that I am not a lonely singer.

You ordinary people read the classics to improve yourself, but writers like me read them just to listen to the songs of the same kind to relieve the loneliness in your heart. ”

"You're a writer?" Liang De almost thought he had misheard.

"I am a great writer, to put it simply, I am what you call a writer in the mouth of the general public.

Didn't I tell you, the Kukai Evil God is just my side job, and my main job is a literary and artistic worker.

When I was younger, I formed a band with my friends, and when the band broke up for various reasons, I decided to sing with the sound of the pen rubbing against the world. ”

Liang De looked at Tai Fengxian's shining bald head, and had a little faith in his words.

After all, writers generally have no hair, and Shakespeare, Goethe, Flaubert, Zola, Dickens and others are all Mediterranean, which may be the fate of writers.

It's too miserable, and the price a man has to pay to become a writer is too miserable.

Literature is like a ruthless razor, and the more serious the literature, the more bald it is.

Young people in their twenties who have achieved nothing often imagine themselves as writers, unaware that later in life, only their hairline will become more and more like the writer.

Liang De looked at Tai Fengxian's bald head and decided that he would never have anything to do with literature in the future, and then he heard Tai Fengxian say to him very solemnly:

"Mr. Liang, if you haven't found a satisfactory job, are you interested in becoming a literary and artistic worker with me?"
