Girls' dormitory, at the gate.

At this moment, a girl is anxiously waiting, she looks into the distance from time to time, as if expecting someone to arrive.

"Why haven't you come yet? Didn't they all say half-past four? It's 4:40 now, he won't stop coming, will he? ”

"Yunyan, didn't you say you were going to dinner with your boyfriend? Why haven't you left yet? At this moment, a slightly chubby girl with braids came over, and she asked Gao Yunyan with a smile.

"He's probably stuck in something, right?" Gao Yunyan smiled awkwardly and replied.

"Really? Then you keep waiting, I'll go first, by the way, do you need hot water at night? Why don't I bring some for you? The chubby girl seemed to remember something, and then asked Gao Yunyan again.

"No need, Shen Qian, I've already made hot water." Gao Yunyan shook her head slightly.

"Okay, then I'll go first." After speaking, the chubby girl turned around and left, leaving Gao Yunyan alone to stand in place and continue to wait.

"Yunyan! Yunyan, I'm really sorry, I forgot the time just now, you have been waiting for a long time, right? Not long after the chubby girl left, He Yun hurriedly ran over from a distance.

After panting and saying something to Gao Yunyan, he said, "Let's go now." ”

"Okay!" Hearing He Yun's words, Gao Yunyan, who was originally a little angry, instantly disappeared.

She is very aware of He Yun's habits, whenever he writes, he will devote himself to it, so that he often forgets time, just like today, she wanted to say something, but she finally "forgiven" He Yun.

.........

Half an hour later, near the school, in a newly opened restaurant.

"Boss, order!" After He Yun led Gao Yunyan to choose a clean table and sat down, he immediately shouted at the kitchen.

Hearing the voice, soon, an uncle in his forties ran out of the kitchen.

He wore a gray apron, a good jacket, and a very cleanly washed white rag in his hand.

"Eat, lad!" The uncle glanced at He Yun and the others, but immediately set his eyes on He Yun.

As a businessman, he could see the relationship between He Yun and Gao Yunyan at a glance, so he didn't think much about it, and directly gave He Yun the right to order food by default.

At the same time, the rag in his hand was not idle, and he immediately wiped it carefully on the table.

"Boss, don't you have a menu?" He Yun glanced around the walls, but found nothing.

"Menu? Yes, yes, I haven't had time to put a copy on the wall for a short time since this store opened, young man, you wait for me, I'll get it for you right away. As soon as the uncle heard He Yun's words, he immediately explained with a smile, and then turned around to take the menu.

A moment later, the uncle returned, and he had an extra piece of hard paper.

He Yun took a look and found that there were a lot of fly-headed letters written on it, and they were written with a brush.

That's right!

The menu is handmade, and at first glance it looks like someone has written it.

After all, this size of a small calligraphy is not something that ordinary people can write.

"Yunyan, what do you want to eat?" He Yun glanced at the menu, but set his eyes on Gao Yunyan who was sitting beside him.

Today, he agreed to Gao Yunyan and invited her to dinner, so he naturally had to ask her about this dish first.

"I ..... It's better for you to order, He Yun! Gao Yunyan hesitated, looked at He Yun and said.

"Okay! Then I'll order, boss, let's have a chili fried bacon, a chopped chili cabbage, and a ..... Is there tofu available? ”

When He Yun said this, he looked up at the uncle who was waiting on the side and asked.

"Yes, yes." Uncle nodded.

These are home-cooked dishes, and the store naturally prepares them.

In fact, as a newly opened restaurant, the uncle also crossed the river by feeling the stones, after all, there are still very few self-employed people like them at the moment.

"Okay, let's have fried tofu and meat dishes..... Just braised pork ribs, right? He Yun took the menu and said to the uncle on the side.

"Okay! Four dishes, wait a minute, I'll make them for you right away. The uncle nodded, smiled, and after replying, hurried into the kitchen.

Today's restaurants are basically opened by a family, the owner is also the cook, and the waiter is basically a family member, and rarely spends money to invite others.

Moreover, the restaurant is not very large, and it is often just a façade.

"He Yun, will there be too many dishes for four, can we finish eating?" After the uncle entered the kitchen, Gao Yunyan on the side was a little worried.

"Not much, not much at all, Yunyan, if you finish eating, you won't waste it, if you can't finish it, let's pack it!" He Yun shook his head slightly.

"Packing? Oh well, I've broken the bank today. ”

"What's the matter, I still can't eat this little thing." He Yun smiled and said.

..........

Half an hour later, four dishes were served one after another.

And just as He Yun and the others were eating, they saw two men walk in.

They looked like people who had come to eat.

At first, the two of them didn't attract He Yun's attention until they spoke, and the extremely conspicuous Cantonese Mandarin made He Yun can't help but look at them more.

"From Guangdong Province? Or is it from Xiangjiang? ”

"It should be from Guangdong Province, right? But what are they doing in a small place like our Silver City? ”

Although He Yun was very curious about this, he didn't think much about it.

However, what the other party said next made He Yun stunned for an instant.

"Lao Liu, I heard that there is a very young writer in your Yincheng, and he once appeared in the People's Daily."

"There is indeed such a person, it seems to be called He Yun, right? How? Lao Zheng, why are you asking this? The person who replied was clearly a local, and he spoke Mandarin with a distinctly Yincheng accent.

"It's nothing, just ask casually, you know, my old classmate I transferred to the "Wulin" magazine, and I am naturally more interested in some excellent writers."

"Really? Lao Zheng, didn't you work as a teacher in middle school before? How do I get to Wulin Magazine? ”

"I've long since retired, besides, aren't you the same, I remember you used to work in Baling? Now that he has been transferred back to his hometown as the head of the propaganda section, this should be regarded as a high promotion. ”

"What is not promoted, I will retire next year, I want to live closer to my children, I just have this opportunity, I applied to be transferred back, by the way, you shouldn't have come to Yincheng to see me this time, right?"

"Of course not........."

........

He Yun listened to the chatter of the two while eating the dishes, but he fell into deep thought.

"Martial Arts Magazine? What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet their editors here. ”

At this moment, He Yun couldn't help but think of his first part.

At that time, it was after the rejection of "Ancient Legends" that "Wulin" magazine sent him the first remittance slip, and this was also the first manuscript fee he received in his life.

............

Early the next morning, taking advantage of the lack of classes in the morning, He Yun immediately began to proofread the science fiction "Sea Prison".

But after a while, he was interrupted by two people who came to his door.

"Director Li, this is ......"

Glancing at Director Li, who came to the door again, He Yun couldn't help but set his eyes on another person.

Because at this moment, he already recognized the person in front of him.

"How could it be him?"

That's right, the person standing next to Director Li is the same person from Guangdong Province he met in the restaurant yesterday.

"Xiaohe, let me introduce to you, this is Zheng Xiangrong, the editor of the "Wulin" magazine in Guangdong Province, and he is here to find you today."

"Looking for me? Hello! Editor Zheng, I'm He Yun, do you have anything to do with me? ”

Seriously, when he said this, He Yun was a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he had a "black history".

It is precisely because of this that he did not continue to contribute to "Wulin" later.

"You are Comrade He Yun? Hello, hello! Seeing He Yun so young, Zheng Xiangrong was also taken aback.

Although he had long heard that He Yun was very young, he was still very surprised when he saw He Yun himself.

"Comrade He Yun, I don't know if you have any plans to submit articles to our "Wulin" magazine? Our "Wulin" magazine, now each issue of sales as high as millions, as long as you submit to our magazine, once adopted, our magazine will definitely give you a very considerable remuneration. ”

Zheng Xiangrong's words made Director Li on the side echo and said: "Yes, Xiaohe, the sales of "Wulin" magazine are still very high. ”

"Ugh....... Editor Zheng, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer you now, because I'm writing one now, and this one, I've already promised magazines such as "Contemporary" and "People's Literature", so ......."

"Yes, yes, yes...... Comrade Xiao He is now a columnist for several magazines such as "Contemporary" and "People's Literature", and he is indeed quite busy. Hearing He Yun's answer, Director Li on the side was obviously relieved.

In fact, if it weren't for the other party's insistence on coming to He Yun, Director Li wouldn't have brought him here at all.

After all, "Dongting Literature" has just been launched, and he is currently waiting for He Yun to be free to write for "Dongting Literature".

If he was "cut off" by "Wulin" magazine, wouldn't he have lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.

Fortunately, He Yun didn't agree in the end, which couldn't help but make him secretly relieved.

"That's right...... Well, Comrade He Yun, this is the contact information of our "Wulin" magazine, if it is convenient for you, you are welcome to contribute to our magazine. ”

Zheng Xiangrong didn't give up, he couldn't help but take out a note and handed it to He Yun, which was written the contact information of "Wulin" magazine.

But in fact, He Yun already had the contact information of "Wulin" magazine, but now he can only pretend not to know, after taking the note, he said: "Okay, if there is a suitable opportunity, I will definitely submit it to your society." ”

"Good! Okay, then I'll go first. ”

"Then I'll send you two!" As soon as He Yun heard this, he immediately said a word and sent the two out of the dormitory.

Soon after, Director Li and the others turned around and left.

After sending Director Li and this editor Zheng away, He Yun couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

He was afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he would be exposed.

Thankfully, he persevered.

"I'd better write my Archaeological Notes." He Yun muttered, but shook his head slightly.

..........

Fast forward and days passed.

The days of writing manuscripts are always short, no, on this day, He Yun just sat down and was about to take out the manuscript in the drawer, when he saw the senior Li Hanming appear at the door of the dormitory.

"Senior, why are you here? Come! Come in and sit, have something to do with me? After He Yun welcomed him into the dormitory, he hurriedly asked.

"He Yun, I have a manuscript here, I want to ask you to ...... Help me see. When he said this, Li Hanming was obviously a little squirming, and he looked obviously embarrassed.

"Oh...... Senior, you said let me read the manuscript for you? This.... Not quite right, right? Why don't you show it to Dean Yu. ”

He Yun knew that Li Hanming was also a writer, but it is said that he usually wrote prose and poetry, and his works were not published many times.

"Dean Yu is on a business trip, He Yun, you can help the seniors take a look, you are a writer who has won three literary awards, and you have published so many works, you can help me give advice."

"Uh...... That that.... Okay, senior, if I have something wrong, please bear with me. He Yun smiled and reluctantly agreed.

After he took the manuscript handed over by Li Hanming, he just glanced at it, but he was stunned.

"It's ..... Martial arts? Senior, how did you think of writing about this kind of literary theme? He Yun looked at the other party very puzzled.

Although martial arts is indeed popular in popular literature at the moment, for Chinese students like Li Hanming, poetry and prose are their dreams.

As for martial arts, it's just popular literature, and it can't be put on the stage!

"He Yun, don't ask about this, you can help me take a look, by the way, I plan to vote for "Ancient Legends", what do you think?"

"Legends of the Ancients? Do you mean that magazine in Hubei Province? He Yun said immediately.

"Yes!" Li Hanming nodded.

"I remember that "Ancient Legends" is a martial arts magazine, especially if it likes to publish traditional martial arts romances, you ..... Let me see..... The subject matter is suitable, it's ....."

He Yun couldn't help but pause when he said this.

Seeing him like this, Li Hanming suddenly became anxious, and he urged: "What's it?" He Yun, if you have anything to say, I won't mind. ”

"Senior, it's better to do this, I can't finish reading it in this short time, why don't you wait for me for a day or two, and I'll give you an answer?" He Yun hesitated for a moment and said.

"Okay, okay, that's it, I'm.... Go first, then trouble You Yun. Li Hanming seemed to be waiting for He Yun's words, and after he said a word, he left happily.

Looking at his distant back, He Yun was a little crying and laughing.

He, a somewhat "arrogant" senior, finally lowered his head.

It's just that he doesn't understand, why did his senior suddenly think of creating martial arts?

"It can't be stimulated by anything, is it?" He Yun muttered in a low voice, took the manuscript, and turned back to the table.
