The editor-in-chief of "Gusu Evening News" who is responsible for celebrity gossip and novel serialization is named Zhou Qiyun, a middle-aged man with ordinary appearance and already bald.

Zhou Qiyun was also very curious about the pair of men and women who came here to find him, and thought that they wanted to advertise in the newspaper or something, but after hearing that they were here to contribute, he immediately lost his interest and just maintained a superficial politeness.

It turns out that even a general newspaper with a small circulation like "Gusu Evening News" will not easily accept contributions from newcomers, and those novels that have been serialized in the newspaper are not at all because of how well the novel is written, but because the relationship between the author and the editor is good.

Zhou Qiyun is in charge of this section, of course, he tends to continue to cooperate with those authors who have cooperated for a long time, because the selling point of "Gusu Evening News" does not lie in this section, and he does not have the intention of carrying forward this section, after all, he is not the boss of this newspaper, just an editor, and he can get a fixed salary of dozens of silver dollars per month, as well as the worship of those third-rate novelists, he is already very satisfied.

Zhou Qiyun looked at Wang Defu's aristocratic college student's dress, and felt that the other party must be that kind of scholarly character, maybe he is arrogant and arrogant, how could such a character be willing to give him a benefit fee?

However, after all, Zhou Qiyun is a figure who has been in the society for a long time, he still kept smiling, greeted Wang Defu kindly for a while, and also took the manuscript, after listening to Wang Defu say that this work is the work of his sister "Ms. Yiren", Zhou Qiyun said "Admire and admire, so that my sister does not let her eyebrows", but his heart was even more disdainful.

There are so few women who can make a name for themselves in the literary world these years, either in the imperial capital or in the magic capital.

These two places have even formed two major factions of writers, the Imperial Capital School and the Demon Capital School, Suzhou is certainly a more economically developed and open area, but it is far more than the God Capital and the Demon Capital.

In fact, there is a serious separation between the cities and the countryside in the whole country, and the cities seem to have become a modern capitalist country, while the countryside is still a feudal country ruled by the gentry, clans, and landlords.

"Then put the manuscript here first, you can leave me a contact address, if our newspaper accepts it, we will send the sample and the manuscript fee at that time." Zhou Qiyun said with a smile.

I have to admit that judging from his performance, it seems that he really attaches great importance to Wang Defu's works, which even makes Wang Moer, who thinks that he will not let his young master be deceived, secretly happy for the young master, thinking that this is done.

However, Wang Moer has never been in contact with cultural people, and she doesn't understand that they are different from those farmers and coachmen.

Wang Defu will not be perfunctory by Zhou Qiyun's social rhetoric, although this manuscript is lost, he still has a draft there, and it doesn't take too much time to copy it again, but what writer likes to see what he has worked so hard to write and be ignored?

And it's also an unpleasant thing to copy again.,It's just that there's no computer in this world.,Otherwise, just copy and paste.。

"Editor Zhou, why don't you take a look at it now, and if you can't meet the requirements of your newspaper, just tell me the results." Wang Defu insisted.

Wang Defu's insistence made Zhou Qiyun's smile freeze, and the communication between the two was also noticed by other editors in the office, and some idle and curious editors even came to watch.

In fact, it is rare for new writers to come to the editorial office in person to submit their manuscripts, and most newspapers and magazines will publish their own receiving addresses on them and accept manuscripts by mail.

"Old Zhou, why don't you take a look." A young editor named Du Shuhuan couldn't help but say.

Du Shuhuan is the editor-in-chief of the current review and social news section of the "Gusu Evening News", he is quite talented, and it is said that he has a relatively deep background.

Zhou Qiyun snorted coldly, and finally looked at the manuscript, but his mentality had exploded, he just read hastily, ten lines at a glance, and did not taste the beauty of the words of Wang Defu's works at all, nor was he attracted by those H descriptions, but instead made a conclusion about it, thinking that this is a "vulgar work".

"This work does not meet the requirements of our newspaper, and our newspaper is also a regular newspaper, not a tabloid, your work has passed the line." Zhou Qiyun said extremely seriously.

Rao is Wang Defu thinks that his temper is very good, and he is also very unhappy, his work, on the scale of H description, is not as good as the half-white and non-white ancient style H text serialized in the "Gusu Evening News", but the editor-in-chief actually said that his work passed the line, which is really unreasonable!

When Zhou Qiyun said this, Du Shuhuan couldn't help but take the manuscript and read it carefully, but he actually read it at once, and was stunned by the "Farewell Kangqiao" thrown out in the opening chapter - "Gently I go, just as I came gently; I beckoned softly, and made a cloud of the western sky. …… Quietly I went, as quietly I came; I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me. ”

What a modern poem! How catchy it reads!

In the contemporary poetry world, there are not many poets who can write such modern poems, right?

Du Shuhuan almost shouted "good poems, good poems", just with such a poem, you can see the author's profound literary heritage, but this week Qiyun actually rejected the manuscript directly, no wonder the literary world in Suzhou is almost a pool of stagnant water, a little talented author, all go to the magic capital not far from Suzhou, it is really a literary editor here, the quality is worrying!

However, Du Shuhuan couldn't accept Wang Defu's manuscript for Zhou Qiyun on his behalf, in fact, he still felt in his heart that a platform like "Gusu Evening News" was not worthy of the other party's work!

The manuscript fee of "Gusu Evening News" is not high, and the newcomer author is estimated to only be able to take the price of half a silver dollar for a thousand words, although it is equivalent to 50 yuan for a thousand words in later generations, but you must know that the minimum of ordinary private magazines in the magic capital is 1 silver dollar per thousand words, and the official magazines and literary periodicals in the imperial capital even start from 3 silver dollars per thousand words.

Du Shuhuan's heart moved, looking at the handsome face of Wang Defu, a young college student, and couldn't help but recall his high-spirited college career, but he was definitely not as talented as the other party.

Now this young man is so talented, he will definitely be able to stir up the storm in the Chinese literary world in the future!
