After New Year's Day in 1979, Shen Xiaobei collected drafts written by thirteen students from the literature club for the sample issue of the magazine.

After receiving the manuscript, she asked Qin Yapei to come to the courtyard together, and the two of them reviewed it together and exchanged opinions.

This is the first issue of Qingshan Magazine, and it is related to whether Qingshan Magazine can be successfully run.

Both of them knew that they had to ensure that every manuscript, every sentence, and every word was expressed accurately.

Although Shen Xiaobei carefully selected the thirteen students, including Qin Yapei, all of them had outstanding literary talent.

However, for Shen Xiaobei, who had read a lot of modern youth magazines and literary books, these first drafts they wrote still had some flaws that she could clearly point out.

Every time she pointed out a point, she would add her own insights.

After listening to this, Qin Yapei nodded with approval and was very impressed by her profound literary attainments.

The two of them reviewed the manuscripts together for three days before they finished reviewing them all and annotating them in detail.

Then, Shen Xiaobei gathered the other twelve students to the courtyard again, explained it to them one by one, and asked them to hand in the revised manuscripts to her in three days.

During these three days, Shen Xiaobei was not idle either. She began to design the cover of the magazine and the illustrations inside.

We strive to design every detail of the sample magazine to perfection.

Three days later, Shen Xiaobei received the revised manuscript and reviewed it carefully again with Qin Yapei, and then asked everyone to revise some details.

Finally, after three reviews by two people, with the help of Duan Donglin, and four thorough proofreadings, all the manuscripts for the sample issue were finally finalized before the school's winter break.

After the manuscript was finalized, Shen Xiaobei immediately paid everyone their manuscript fees as promised.

Then he took out some rice, flour, grain, oil, pork, eggs and some dry goods from the space, divided them into thirteen equal portions in advance, and gave them to everyone as gifts.

"Xiaobei, didn't you say you were going to give us a small gift? Oh my god, how can this be a small gift? With so many, my family won't even need to prepare New Year's goods!"

"Yeah, Xiaobei, these things of yours are much more expensive than the manuscript fee. How can we accept them?"

The thirteen students in the literature club, including Qin Yapei, were all shocked by the generous gift that Shen Xiaobei prepared for them.

Everyone was embarrassed to accept such a generous and valuable gift.

Then a female classmate proposed: "We can only accept one of the two: the gift and the royalty. If anyone chooses the gift, they will take the initiative to return the royalty to Xiaobei. Do you agree?"

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"I don't agree!"

All thirteen students agreed to choose one of the two, only Shen Xiaobei objected.

These students will be the founding members of Qingshan Magazine. How could Shen Xiaobei treat them poorly? She knew that only by treating them well would they be willing to continue to work for Qingshan Magazine and work well.

So, she used her eloquence and finally won over thirteen of them, convincing them to accept all the royalties and gifts.

Finally, he happily took them to the Western restaurant where Kong Wanwan worked to have a Western meal.

I would like to reward them for their hard work and cooperation during this period, and wish Qingshan Magazine all the best.

Shen Xiaobei brought so many college students to the western restaurant for dinner, which made Kong Wanwan look very impressive in front of the manager and colleagues.

When her colleagues at the Western restaurant saw that she had so many college friends, they looked up to her even more.

"Xiaobei, thank you for bringing so many classmates to the restaurant to support me!"

Kong Wanwan thought Shen Xiaobei was helping her, so when she paid the bill, she whispered a thank you to her.

"Haha, you're welcome! The environment of this restaurant is indeed nice. Just keep working hard here."

"Yes, I will!"

Shen Xiaobei didn't come here specifically to support Kong Wanwan, as this wasn't her restaurant. However, since Kong Wanwan thought so, she went along with it and tacitly agreed to the favor.

Anyway, it’s not a bad thing as long as everyone is happy.

After rewarding the students in the literature club, Shen Xiaobei began to busy himself with the typesetting of the sample issue and other follow-up matters.

Qin Yapei's home is close to her courtyard house, and because the name Qingshan Magazine was given by Qin Yapei, she is also very concerned about the sample issue.

Every day, he would come over and work on typesetting with Shen Xiaobei.

After careful discussion and adjustment of each other's aesthetics, the layout was finally finalized and then sent to the printing factory introduced by Editor-in-Chief Ni for printing.

After printing, Qin Yapei accompanied Shen Xiaobei to meet Editor-in-Chief Ni.

Editor-in-Chief Ni saw that Shen Xiaobei had produced the sample issue of the magazine so quickly, and that both the cover and the articles inside were of such high quality, giving him a feeling of being at the forefront of the times.

He immediately and readily agreed to Shen Xiaobei that after the Spring Festival, he would definitely help her to open Qingshan Magazine.

Hearing with his own ears that this matter could be settled, Qin Yapei was even happier than Shen Xiaobei.

The two men bid farewell to Chief Editor Ni with gratitude. After they walked through the publishing house, Qin Yapei excitedly exclaimed, "Xiaobei, Chief Editor Ni is truly a great benefactor to Qingshan Magazine!"

"Yes, without Editor-in-Chief Ni's connections and enthusiasm for us, Qingshan Magazine would not have been possible, and I would never have had this idea."

"Xiaobei, you're also my benefactor! If it weren't for you, I'd be nothing more than an ordinary college student. How could I have embarked on the path of literature that I once only dared to dream of?"

"Abbott, you're serious! You're a piece of gold. Even without me, you'll shine on the path of literature one day."
