Chapter Thirty-Seven: Playing in Shanghai

The next day, although Gogarin repeatedly told him that he knew the way to the magazine, he should not be left alone in the morning. But early in the morning, editor Xiao Wang still arrived at the guest house on time and beckoned Gao Jialin and his wife to have breakfast.

Gao Garin was very embarrassed, "Editor Wang, you are too polite. When we moved in, the waiter had already told us where to eat, and we could go there completely. Why bother you to make a trip? ”

"Teacher Gao, it's okay if you call me Xiao Wang." Editor Xiao Wang was very polite, "During your time in Shanghai, it was my job to take care of your food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I was derelict in my duty yesterday and was criticized by the leadership." You're not going to let me be scolded by the boss again, are you? ”

"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Gao Jialin had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness, "That's it, I'm younger than you, just call you Brother Wang, you just call me Xiao Gao." We're not all that polite. ”

Editor Xiao Wang still felt that he should be called Mr. Gao, the two argued, and finally each gave way, Gao Jialin called him Brother Wang, and he called Gao Jialin "Teacher Xiao Gao".

After breakfast at the guest house, editor Xiao Wang asked about the itinerary of the two.

Gogarin naturally went to the editor-in-chief's office as agreed to continue to discuss the follow-up outline of "Harry Potter".

As for Liu Qiaozhen? Xiao Wang's editor means that if she wants to go shopping or go out to play, she can find a lesbian to accompany her.

Liu Qiaozhen waved her hand again and again to refuse his kindness, she didn't want to go out shopping with strangers, it was too embarrassing.

"Comrade Wang, you don't have to worry about me, I still have books to read, I've been playing in the past few days, and the books haven't been read properly. I've got to make it up. ”

Gao Garin added with a smile: "Your brother and sister didn't go to school much originally, and she was delayed by her family. I started learning from scratch after I stayed with me, and now I'm in the fifth grade. It's fast! She is very diligent, and when she comes out to play, she also carries her textbooks with her, and she learns wherever she goes. Let's leave her alone and let her study hard in her room. ”

Editor Xiao Wang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your lover's learning spirit is so admirable!" Compared to her, I am much slack. She is so diligent, and she is also the edification of Teacher Xiao Gao, from your extensive knowledge, you must be very diligent and have read a lot of books. It's not easy to grow up in such a remote and backward environment! I will follow your example in the future! ”

People in the 80s were just impassioned and moved by all sorts of things. In front of him, editor Xiao Wang was moved by Gao Jialin and his wife.

Gao Jialin was a little embarrassed, only he knew whether he could learn well or not, if he wasn't forced to do so, he would definitely choose the most trouble-free and profitable way, but there was no way. If you travel to the big city, or in the 90s, you will definitely take shortcuts and make a lot of money from the memories of later generations. But he just crossed over in 84 years of Gao Garin, except for writing, there is no second way to make a fortune, so it can only be like this.

However, in order to cover up his plagiarism, Gogarin did read a lot of books. Take this time as an example, Gogarin spent half a year looking through all the books he could find about Britain, and took notes on all the books he cited in which books he could find, which can be regarded as painstaking. Therefore, if Xiao Wang edits, he can also afford it.

Liu Qiaozhen went back to the room, and Gao Jialin and Xiao Wang came out of the guest house and walked slowly along the road, chatting and moving slowly. The guest house is very close to the magazine office, which is about ten minutes away. Gao Jialin's chatting ability is also leveraged, in just these ten minutes, Xiao Wang's editor has become familiar with him, and his speech is no longer "you" or "you", less polite and more cordial.

Xiao Wang took Gao Jialin all the way to the "Juvenile Literature and Art" magazine and came to the office of the editor-in-chief of Qian. Editor-in-chief Qian was already waiting, and came out to greet him warmly, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting and sat down on the sofa. Editor Xiao Wang found a chair to sit down, took out a notebook and began to record.

This time, Gogarin specially brought the manuscript of the follow-up outline of "Harry Potter" and handed it to the editor-in-chief Qian. Editor-in-Chief Qian hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully.

Gogarin's outline was written in considerable detail. Each person who appears, his name, family, origin, and basic experience, are clearly written. The settings for each of the magic, the depiction of magical creatures, the setting of a Quidditch match, the evolution of the magic broomstick, the legend of the Deathly Hallows, and the setting of the twenty-eight pure-blood families are also listed. It can be said that Gogarin drew a detailed and rigorously constructed magical world, rather than being plot-driven and writing wherever it goes.

In terms of character settings, Gogarin also wrote quite clearly. Voldemort's life, his upbringing, the basic experiences of his men. What a Death Eater is and why there are so many Death Eaters are explained in detail. On the decent side, Dumbledore's life and experience, his calculations and plans against Voldemort, the people around him, the various members of the Order of the Phoenix, etc., are all depicted.

Of course, the things that bothered Gogarin the most were those things that were closely linked to British history, some of which were really hard to find. Folklore such as basilisks and roosters, ghosts of historical figures from Hogwarts, legends about Merlin, butterbeer and British specialties. For these things, Gao Jialin wrote down his own knowledge points, but if the editor-in-chief Qian asked where he saw it, he could only say that he couldn't remember it.

Of course, Editor-in-Chief Qian will not ask Gao Garin to the bottom like a prisoner, and his suspicions of Gao Garin's plagiarism have long since disappeared. Such a fine piece of children's literature, if it really existed in itself, would have swept the entire Western world a long time ago, where could it be the turn of a young man from a remote mountain village like Gao Jialin to plagiarize! This idea in itself is nonsense!

Editor-in-Chief Qian saw that he fell into it, and in his mind, a huge and perfect magical world was drawn by the outline setting of Gogarin.

He seemed to see all kinds of beautiful and magical magical structures, all kinds of strange and magical creatures roaming in them, and the evil Death Eaters dressed in black robes, turned into a puff of black smoke, and rushed towards innocent passers-by with a smile. The brave protagonist and his companions, riding magic broomsticks, waving magic wands, shouting, fight evil.

Editor-in-chief Qian read it for a long time, and sometimes saw that the back turned back and turned back to the front, and flipped the more than a dozen pages of Gogarin's outline back and forth several times before stopping.

"Xiao Gao!" Editor-in-Chief Qian looked serious, "Your outline is set quite perfectly, and I won't be able to give an opinion for a while." Well, let me study it for two more days, and we'll talk about it. ”

Gogarin listened, nodded, it was the same sooner or later, he didn't care.

Editor-in-Chief Qian turned to Editor Xiao Wang and instructed: "Xiao Wang, in the past two days, you will accompany Xiao Gao and his wife around and have a good time." By the way, I'll call the president and borrow the company's car for two days, so it's more convenient for you. ”

When Gogarin heard this, he hurriedly tried desperately to stop it. In this era, automobiles were extremely valuable, and only the president of the magazine had a bus. Playing and borrowing the president's car by yourself, the face is a little too big, right? This is absolutely unacceptable!

Seeing that Gao Jialin was strongly opposed, the editor-in-chief Qian could only give a compromise suggestion, borrowing two bicycles for Gao Jialin and his wife, and letting Xiao Wang ride a bicycle to accompany them to play.

Although Gao Jialin felt that he could play as a couple, he didn't need Xiao Wang to accompany him. But for the other party's enthusiasm, I can't refuse, so I have to accept it calmly.

In the next two days, Gao Jialin and Liu Qiaozhen, accompanied by editor Xiao Wang, visited all the big and small attractions in Shanghai.

They went to Nanjing Road, and Liu Qiaozhen also watched the movie "Good Eight Companies on Nanjing Road", and her deepest impression of Shanghai came from this movie.

Nanjing Road has always been known as the first commercial street in China, known as "Ten Mile Nanjing Road, a pedestrian street", and the roadside is full of various time-honored shops and shopping malls in Shanghai. Every holiday, it is always crowded with people, and it is a lively and prosperous scene.

Further on, the most prosperous buildings in old Shanghai were located here, especially the most famous of them, the Yangtze River Hotel, where Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling were married. Walking along Nanjing Road, there is the famous scenic spot Bund, where you can see the panoramic view of the Bund of the Huangpu River.

Gao Jialin walked along Nanjing Road, and had the illusion of time traveling. Nanjing Road has been very well preserved and has not undergone large-scale reconstruction. Therefore, the Nanjing Road where Gao Jialin came in later generations is almost exactly the same as now. Nanjing Road is a bustling variety of shops, Liu Qiaozhen's shopping genes were instantly activated, and they went over one by one. Whenever she looked at it a few more times and put it down, Gogarin did his best to help her buy it. made Liu Qiaozhen complain.

It was not until he walked out of Nanjing Road and arrived at the Bund by the Huangpu River that he could see the towering landmark buildings such as the Oriental Pearl, the Jin Mao Tower, and the International World Financial Center in the future, and he was still in the 80s, when he was in ruins and ready to be rebuilt.

Then they went to the Yu Garden and the City God Temple.

Yu Garden is located in the northeast of SH City, adjacent to the Shanghai Old Town God's Temple in the southwest, and is a famous classical garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Yu Garden was originally a private garden in the Ming Dynasty, which was built in the Jiajing and Wanli periods, and has a history of more than 400 years. The pavilions here are uneven, the mountains and rocks are grandiose, the trees are verdant, they are good at being quiet and beautiful, they are exquisitely clear, they have the characteristics of seeing the big in the small, and they reflect the unique charm and beauty of the garden buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Liu Qiaozhen is also the first time to see this kind of Jiangnan garden, which is completely different from the northern garden in XA City, which also makes her feel new and reminisce.

The legend of Shanghai City God Temple was built by Sun Hao, the lord of Wu during the Three Kingdoms, and it was rebuilt as the City God Temple during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. The front hall is dedicated to the Jinshan God Han General Bolu Hou Huo Guang Divine Lord, the main hall is for the four products to show the blessing of the city god to be made Qin Yubo Imperial History, and the apse is the sleeping palace. There is a torii built in 1535 in front of the current gate, and the stage was built in 1865. The hall building of Shanghai City God Temple belongs to the southern style building, red wall and mud tiles, the main building in the temple is composed of the square in front of the temple, the main hall, the Yuanchen Palace, the God of Wealth Palace, the Cihang Palace, the City God Palace, and the Niangniang Palace.
