After more than ten seconds of trance, Han Jimei finally came back to her senses.

She never expected the ending to be like this......

The lady sold her beautiful long hair and bought a gold watch strap for her husband, while the husband sold his favorite gold watch and bought the long-awaited hair comb for his wife.

They sacrificed their family's most precious possessions for each other, but the gifts they gave each other lost their original value at the same time.

It's too much to say that such an ending is cruel, but it always makes people laugh and cry -

And in such a witty contradiction, the love of Mr. and Mrs. is vented on the paper, showing it vividly!

What a yearning for love.

Han Jimei closed the magazine thoughtfully.

She suddenly thought:

Such a good story should have appeared in the literary section of the tribe, just like Chu Mad's "Artificial Beauty".

"Why did you end up missing Chu Madness?"

Obviously, he chose our platform at the beginning.

Han Jimei's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and she pressed the green button in the upper left corner of the desk: "Editor-in-chief plenary meeting in five minutes." ”

Why has the literary section of the tribe been tepid?

Because the quality of the stories in the literature section is not as good as the magazines on the market.

In the final analysis, the reason is that the literature section of the tribe is not attractive enough for good writers!

How can you change that?

It's very simple, that is to grab the story, grab the author!

An excellent author like Chu Mad is worthy of tribal literature, and Han Jimei believes that he can finally impress such an excellent writer as Chu Maan.

With this in mind, Han Jimei began the editor-in-chief meeting.

The first question she posed at the conference was: "Why isn't tribal literature the first platform of choice for writers?"

This is actually the most important question.

The editor-in-chief on the right-hand side smiled: "In addition to the fact that the literature section is relatively special as an online publishing platform, the most important reason is that we do not pay the authors enough compensation. ”

Writers also need to be just right.

It's not enough to rely on the tips of the online platform.

Han Jimei got up, pressed her hands on the table, and lowered her body slightly: "I will apply for funding from above, do you know what you should do?"

"Dig people!"

The editors-in-chief understand.

Han Jimei smiled slightly: "I'm going to see the list of targets you want to poach people tonight, the number of writers in the first batch must not be less than thirty, let's play a big vote." ”

"It looks like we're going to grab people from the major magazines. ”

The editors-in-chief smiled, they have no shortage of writers' connections, and if they have enough funds, it is not difficult to find good writers.

"Good. ”

Han Jimei straightened his waist: "It seems that you all have a goal to dig, I will recommend someone to your poaching list first." ”

"Who?"

"Chu madness. ”

The editors-in-chief were stunned, thinking that Han Jimei had made a mistake: "This short story writer should not be considered famous, he writes youth fantasy novels, and the last "Artificial Beauty" was just a small short story he occasionally wrote, although it was not bad......"

"Then look at this one. ”

Han Jimei put "Fun Reading" on the table, and then glanced at everyone: "It's up to you to decide who you want to find, but Chu Mad is the first goal I want to strive for." ”

......

As the first article on the cover of the magazine, "The Gift of the Magi" was not only noticed by Han Jimei, but also read this story by many magazine buyers.

Nearly a week later, a thorough discussion began online.

The first platform in the hot discussion is the official website message board of the magazine section of the Silver Blue Library.

This message board works similarly to a fiction forum.

"The quality of this issue is very high, especially 'The Gift of the Magi's), I really like it, it's very touching. ”

"It is worthy of being the highlight of the cover, and it did not disappoint!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a good story, and 'The Gift of the Magi' is excellent. ”

"During the Chinese New Year, I was fortunate enough to read "Artificial Beauty" on the tribe, and I remembered a writer named Chu Mad, but I didn't expect to read his new work so quickly, it was as wonderful as ever, and I even thought it was more exciting than the previous one. ”

"Such a good short story, it turned out to be written by Chu Yan......"

"After checking Chu Mad's information, I found out that this is a novelist who writes youth fantasy themes, which is too rare. ”

"As a reader who loves both youth fantasy and short stories, and seeing Chu Yan's works in two fields at the same time, the experience is really amazing, and I have become a fan of him. ”

“......”

Soon the tide of discussion began to spread, and "The Gift of the Magi" was unsurprisingly well received.

As a direct consequence of this, the sales of the latest issue of "Fun Reading" in the first week were 50% higher than the previous issue!

Perhaps the follow-up sales of "Fun Reading" this month are also worth looking forward to.

And the pen name Chu Mad has entered the field of vision of short story lovers for the first time.

Even some writers in the field of short stories secretly remembered the pen name Chu Mad by borrowing "The Gift of the Magi".

At this time, Chu Mad was beginning to become famous in the circle of short stories.

Some people say, didn't Chu Mad write "Artificial Beauty" before?

That's true, but Chu Mad at that time was still labeled as a youth fantasy writer, and the title of "The King of the Net" covered the excellence of that short story to a certain extent-

This will happen when a certain identity shines brightly.

So it wasn't until Chu Mad created a short story for the second time that everyone really realized:

It turns out that Chu Mad still has such a talent.

However, it is undeniable that whether it is in the field of short stories or youth fantasy, Chu Mad is a newcomer.

He still has a long way to go.

However, the number of people who are looking forward to this is gradually expanding.

Someone else might say that "The Maggie's Gift" is not a very famous short story on the planet, and the reader is shocked and finished?

This assumption is understandable.

However, in reality, it is actually difficult to achieve the sky in one step.

Countless classics that have been regarded as masterpieces by later generations can only cause a momentary discussion when they are just released, and when you hear that a certain work is a world-class masterpiece, you must first think about how long it has been since this work was officially released-

There are too few contemporary gods.

Unless they were very influential at the time.

More often than not, it's time that brews classic stories.

And when these classics were just born, the creators actually only had the potential to become gods, and they may be one Nobel Prize away from being truly gods, or many classics of the same level.

Or ...... Short of one death.
