068. Black Cat and Glass
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the alarm clock woke up the five watches who were immersed in the work on time.
Rubbing his somewhat sour eyes, Wugen Liuli stood up, stretched lazily, and then involuntarily yawned.
Along with it, there were some crystal tears that had nothing to do with Fengyue oozing from the corners of his eyes.
Gently wiping away the tears that the nasolacrimal ducts had to release from their eye sockets due to the increased pressure in the nasal cavity, which caused the nasolacrimal ducts to temporarily stop working, Wugen Liuli sighed tiredly and silently packed up his things.
There aren't many people around who are still working, after all, according to the regulations, the end time of the Immortal River Bookstore is 5 p.m.
Wumore Liuli can be regarded as one of the last few people to go. It won't be long before security personnel come to check and lock the door.
In many cases, the so-called 9-to-5 may just be an ideal state. Who hasn't had the time to work overtime in the dark?
Although the difficulty of the editing work is not high, because the task is heavy and cumbersome, many young people who have just joined the company are a little stumbling.
Most of the experienced editors are able to complete their work on time, but many still need more rest time outside of work to complete their own work.
As a newcomer to the workplace, it is naturally impossible for Wumore Liuli to accept any major tasks, and the daily work is just to review and review.
Most of the manuscripts reviewed are works submitted by new authors in the past two months, and the previous ones have long been assigned to other editors for review.
Especially because the newcomer award is about to start, there has been a small explosion in submissions, and all the submissions in recent days have been reviewed by several newcomer editors such as Wumore Liuli.
Now in the face of some similar and god-like works, the five more glasses can know where the next plot breaking point is with their eyes closed, or how the protagonist will lock the blood next and output wildly, and complete the plot development of the anti-killing.
A first-class publisher in an island country, such as the Immortal River Bookstore, submits a lot of manuscripts every day. Especially because of the developed ACG industry in the island country, many young people have dreams and send their first manuscripts.
And in general, the level of new authors...... Perhaps it can only be said that it is uneven?
After all, among the many new authors, there are also many people who became instant hits in their debut and finally became top writers.
And in general, what is the mentality of rookie authors......
The ancients said that the literati were light, perhaps the best embodiment here.
Faced with the state that their own work cannot be passed, and other people's works can get a big prize, most newcomers just complain, thinking that the editor has no eyes.
However, few people seriously study why their works cannot pass the selection of the publisher's newcomer award.
Luckily, she has studied a lot of novels because she has tried to submit manuscripts before, so she has developed a certain speed reading ability.
Rao is like this, even if it is just as a rookie editor who is still in the probationary period, Wumore Liuli is still exhausted every day by these heavy work.
Of course, there may also be a reason why it is the period of the Immortal River newcomer reward.
And thanks to the care of the editor-in-chief Machida, Ruri Gosan can sometimes hear some news that the editor-in-chief of Machida has revealed to her, intentionally or unintentionally.
For example, the above attention to this newcomer award is completely different from before, and the publicity and reward have also been raised to a higher level.
This made Gojo Ruri very grateful to Machida Enko. After all, not every newcomer to the workplace can meet a boss who appreciates and takes good care of him.
looked at the remaining five or six manuscripts, and sighed that even if he worked overtime for an hour, he still couldn't complete the work, and his face showed a helpless look, ready to take these manuscripts home for review.
After copying the last few manuscripts from the office computer, the five watches were packed up.
After thinking carefully for a moment about whether something had fallen, and after getting a negative answer, the fifth watch Liuli walked slowly towards the house with steps that seemed a little weak because he had been sitting for a day.
Passing through the bustling business district, the shops gradually turn on the lights, blending with the dazzling neon lights. In the midst of all the colors, Goyoshi Ruri seems to see herself who resolutely came to Tokyo from Chiba to attend university.
With all kinds of reverie about Tokyo, I didn't expect to be hit by the price. After that, I studied and worked diligently, and I was even more tired every day than I am now.
And now let's ...... Settled down, right?
Wumore Liuli walked along the street, thinking of this, his brows wrinkled unconsciously, and a confused look appeared vividly on his fair face.
She didn't know if she was one of the best metropolises in the world.
Looking up at the sun that was gradually sinking in the west, the five watches quickened his pace. After all, she also needs to prepare dinner for herself.
……
After settling the matter of dinner and bathing, Wugen Liuli lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. The black cat at home also jumped down from his nest, jumped onto the bed again, and lay down next to the cheek of the fifth watch.
One hand of the five more glasses blocked the light that was too dazzling for her now, and one hand was softly resting on the back of the black cat.
The black cat meekly rubbed the warm palm of the five watches, closed its eyes slightly, and made a strange "purr" sound.
With a soft sigh, Wumore Liuli suddenly stood up from the bed, and the black cat opened its closed eyes and made a puzzled "meow" sound.
Wugen Liuli turned on the computer and said in an apologetic tone to the black cat: "I'm sorry, Curry, I still have something to do......"
The black cat seemed to understand the words of the five more glasses, and after making a few small calls, he went straight back to his nest and closed his eyes on his stomach.
Wugenliuli transferred the manuscript copied in the afternoon to his computer and began the review work again.
The first few works are still uninteresting, which makes the already quite sleepy Wumore Liuli yawn, and even closed his eyes and nodded again and again from time to time.
Finally arrived at the last manuscript, Wugen Liuli wiped the tears that flowed from the yawn, supported his head with one hand, and manipulated the mouse with the other hand to browse.
Then the eyes of the five more glasses gradually brightened, and after a cursory sweep of the previous plot, he quickly glanced at the document name directly above: There is really something wrong with my youth love story.
After silently chewing on the title of the book in his heart, Wugen Liuli laughed rarely, and looked back at the composition written by the author with the hand of the protagonist at the beginning, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
After using less than half an hour to quickly read the document, Wugen Liuli showed a surprised expression.
To be honest, the quality of this submission was beyond her imagination, and it was the most outstanding work of all the submissions she had read, even compared to all the best-selling light novels she had read in the past.
