"Did you buy the new issue of StoryDiary?"

"Well, the short story "Go of Light" that was published last time won an award, and I voted for it, so it's great to win the championship."

"Ah, I voted too."

"It's quite fresh in a story full of fights and kills, and I heard that the winner of the script contest will be serialized on Fantasy next."

"Hey, isn't it on StoryDiary? I don't read fantasy magazines very much. ”

"My brother buys every issue, I can ask him to borrow it."

"Hey, then what should I do, if Liangyu's "Go of Light" is serialized, I'll buy it."

Ignoring the girls chattering around, Chen Nan, who was carrying a duffel bag, reached out and took a StoryDiary that was sold on the counter of the security booth, paid the money to the boss, and turned around and left.

Chen Nan usually doesn't have the habit of buying StoryDiary, which is half comic and half fiction magazine, and the reason why he bought it is because of the phone call from editor Guo Pinyuan not long ago.

She recently used the money from her part-time job to buy a cheap mobile phone for a few hundred yuan, after all, if she quit her part-time job at a convenience store and focused on drawing at home, she would not be able to check her email online, and buying a mobile phone would make it easier to contact the editor. But Chen Nan didn't think that the first call she received from the editor was to tell her the news of Liang Yu's award.

Listening to the editor's explanation, she can roughly understand the current situation, and the partner she managed to find may be robbed by other guys.

"So I want to find a time for you to meet and discuss this matter together," Guo Pinyuan said on the phone: "Of course, the tickets and accommodation will be prepared for you." ”

"Understood, I'll come!"

It was for this reason that Chen Nan came to Qiunan City by bullet train from Gaoyang.

On the other hand, Guo Pinyuan was also very busy, because Chen Nan was coming to Qiu Nan for the first time, so he had to be responsible for picking up people at the train station, and then taking Chen Nan to meet Liang Yu.

Generally speaking, editors don't do this, although the success of the writers trained by them will be credited to the editor, but so far I have not seen any editor who would do these chores by himself. Sometimes Guo Pinyuan will ask himself if it is necessary, but he has a voice inside him firmly telling himself that he is looking forward to the pair's performance in Fantasy in the future.

This is not driven by profit, but an emotion of sustenance.

Once upon a time, Guo Pinyuan also wanted to be as young as Liang Yu and Chen Nan, dreaming that he would one day become a cartoonist who would draw masterpieces, but his dream was shattered, and his enthusiasm was ultimately unable to defeat the barrier of talent, but his inseparable love made him finally become an editor.

The word dream is beautiful, but the more you peel off the beautiful sugar coating and look inside, the more you will find that this is a game that belongs to adults to the extreme, only children will innocently say the word dream, and for those who are no longer young, they see red. Naked reality and helplessness.

He didn't want Liang Yu and Chen Nan to become like him, bowing their heads in the face of cruel reality, at least Guo Pinyuan saw in them the shining point that he didn't have, this may be a kind of selfishness, a kind of favoritism, but Guo Pinyuan still tried his best to hope to match them and let them all succeed.

Thinking like this, Guo Pinyuan clenched his fists and got out of the taxi.

In front of Qiunan Railway Station, there was a sea of people, Guo Pinyuan dialed a phone to go out, and the other party quickly said that he had arrived at the gate of the station. Guo Pinyuan looked around, quickly screened the target in the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on a small figure wearing a T-shirt and cropped pants, Chen Nan, who went out today, wore a baseball cap to cover his face and carried a big bag, I don't know where I thought the elementary school students came from.

"You're classmate Chen Nan, right?" Guo Pinyuan walked over, and the other party raised his head and glanced at Guo Pinyuan.

"Are you Editor Guo?"

"It's me," Guo Pinyuan nodded and said directly: "Then let's go, Liang Yu is still waiting for us." ”

"Okay." Chen Nan is not a person who talks much, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

Guo Pinyuan led Chen Nan to stop the car at the crossing and went straight to the café near Liang Yu's house.

Half an hour later, Liang Yu and Chen Nan, the pair who had never met, finally met, and looking at each other's appearances, both of them were surprised at the same time.

Liang Yu was surprised that the person who drew such a tense cartoon turned out to be a girl, Guo Pinyuan did not deny this, if he hadn't called Chen Nan in advance, it is estimated that he would have the same expression when he saw Chen Nan.

And Liang Yu's situation Chen Nan consulted with the editor in advance, knowing that this was a girl who was one year younger than herself, but what she didn't expect was that the other party was so beautiful, even as a person of the same sex, she couldn't help but look at it for a few seconds.

"Sit down." After greeting each other, Guo Pinyuan opened the chair and beckoned to the waiter: "Feel free to order anything, I'll treat you." ”

"Bring me a cup of coffee."

"I don't need to." Liang Yu pointed to the cup in front of him.

Guo Pinyuan nodded: "Mocha coffee, thank you." ”

handed back the ordering book, Guo Pinyuan didn't drag it anymore, and went straight to the topic of today's conversation: "I already know what I told you two before, right?" ”

Liang Yu and Chen Nan both nodded.

Guo Pinyuan glanced at the two of them, thinking that after all, they were still middle school students, and it would be better for him to take the lead here, and said, "Classmate Liang Yu, what do you think of Chen Nan's painting?" ”

When asked like this, Chen Nan also fixed his eyes on Liang Yu, who was sitting opposite.

"The drawing is very good, to be honest, I am surprised, obviously someone of the same age as me can draw so well, so I am very grateful to Editor Guo for recommending the candidate to me, and I also ask Chen Nan that you can form a group with me, and then work hard to create comics on Fantasy Magazine."

Although he still looks like a junior high school student, Liang Yu is already a social person after all, and since he has decided to cooperate with the other party, Liang Yu is very clear about what to say and what not to say. When she said this, Guo Pinyuan was naturally full of joy, because in the final analysis, the current Liang Yu is the one who stands in front of the leader, and after she expressed her position, this matter will be half successful.

Sure enough, Chen Nan's reaction was the same as Guo Pinyuan, and he was flattered in one word. Although she agreed to the editor's request to come to Qiu Nan, she knew very well that she was the weaker side of the group. After all, the other party has proved her strength through the award of the script competition, and although her editor's evaluation is good, she only stops there, and she can't even get a single work that can be published in the magazine, so the uneasiness that accompanies her along the way is only known to Chen Nan herself, in case the other party is a rather mean guy, what should I do?

Simply Liang Yu's words dispelled the scruples in her heart, and this time Chen Nan also hurriedly said: "It's my honor to be able to cooperate with you, and I will ask for more advice in the future." ”
