Chapter 38 Do you want to publish a book?
Lin Anan shook her head a little embarrassedly. "I have finished the first draft, but it has not been organized yet. I came here to inquire about the publishing house first. If there is hope, I will organize the manuscript carefully and try to meet the publishing standards."
Pang Linong stopped pacing and walked up to Lin Anan. "Translator Lin, I do have a familiar publishing house. Can I introduce it to you?"
“That’s a good feeling.”
Pang Linong nodded and said, "Wait for me, I'll make the contact."
As he walked, he instructed, "Books published in two languages are very competitive. You have to hurry up and get the manuscript ready. Now is the time."
Lin Anan nodded quickly.
"Wait."
"Okay~"
After everyone left, there were only two people left in the office.
Chu Mingzhou looked at Lin Anan with inquiry in his eyes, "You want to publish a book?"
Lin Anan smiled sweetly and leaned towards him. "My writing is pretty good. I just write for fun when I have nothing to do. I happened to find it a few days ago, so I wanted to try to ask you. I'm not sure yet, so I didn't dare to tell you."
She moved closer and closer, her words were flattering and her tone was full of pride.
Chu Mingzhou gently put his arm around her shoulders, his lips slightly raised with a doting smile, "I've never heard you mention this before, it turns out you are so talented."
"That's because you don't understand me well enough."
"Hmm? What exactly did you write?"
Lin Anan tilted her head and thought for a while, "They are just some small stories from life, as well as some of my own insights and imaginations, all kinds of things, even love stories."
Chu Mingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well, I'll take a look then."
"Huh?"
"how?"
"no problem."
Before Pang Linong came back, Chu Mingzhou let go of his hand and helped him sit down.
"Translator Lin, good news. I have contacted Yuanying Publishing House for you. It is the best publishing house in Northwest China and a state-owned company. They are very interested in bilingual books. Here is their contact information."
Pang Linong handed over a detailed address and a phone number.
"If you have the manuscript in order, you can come over anytime."
"Okay, thank you so much." Lin Anan thanked sincerely.
Lin Anan deeply felt the enthusiasm of the people in the Northwest.
By the way, it explains the saying that more friends mean more paths...
When Pang Linong learned that Lin Anan not only knew Japanese and English, but also other languages, his jaw almost dropped!
"Oh my god, Lin the Translator, you, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Of course, I graduated from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and I have a good talent for languages. Learning to master them is just a personal interest and hobby."
Lin Anan has long understood the ways of the world. When necessary, she has to be appropriately high-profile and not let others look down on her.
As expected, Pang Linong patted his chest and promised that he could guarantee Lin Anan's future publication. However, he also made a request that if Xinhua News Agency encountered an urgent need for translation in the future, he hoped that Lin Anan could help.
Lin Anan agreed immediately, and considered it as a way to establish a relationship for herself and find a part-time job at the same time.
Chu Mingzhou watched Lin Anan handle the situation with ease, with a slight smile on his lips.
After leaving Xinhua News Agency, the publishing issue began to take shape.
Chu Minglan saw them coming and leaned out of the car, "Sister-in-law, how is it? Is everything going well?"
Lin Anan got in the car, unable to hide her good mood, "It went smoothly. Sister-in-law will take you to the Xinhua Bookstore."
Chu Mingzhou started the car and turned the car around. "Let's go eat first."
This was Lin Anan’s first time stepping into a state-owned restaurant.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the unique aroma mixed with the fragrance of food. There are many square tables in the lobby. Many people are already sitting there. Everyone is talking and laughing. It is very lively.
The waiters, wearing royal blue uniforms, were busy moving between the tables, serving food to customers and clearing away dishes.
Chu Mingzhou and the other two found an empty seat and sat down. After a while, the waiter came over and pointed to the backboard behind them, "Comrade, what do you want to eat? Today we have braised pork, hand-pulled lamb, potato dumplings, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and tomato and egg soup. They are all special dishes."
"I want braised pork, hand-pulled lamb, stir-fried vegetables, and tomato and egg soup."
After the waiter took note, he smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll arrange it for you right away."
While waiting for the food, Lin Anan looked around curiously.
"Pah~"
"ah!"
There was a slapping sound, accompanied by a woman's cry of pain.
The lively atmosphere in the hotel suddenly became silent...
Lin Anan frowned slightly and turned to look over.
"Get up! There are so many people here, I don't have the heart to argue with you."
The man hit the woman hard and she was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up.
The man had his back to Lin Anan, so she couldn't see him clearly, but the woman on the ground...
Lin Anan recognized it at a glance.
She had seen this man before, at the door of Professor Liang's office in the hospital that day.
Tears as big as beans fell on the concrete floor. "Xu Wenbo, you actually want to divorce me? Do you still have a conscience? Our Hu family treats you well. Do you still remember how you promised my father..."
“Bang!”
Another hard slap.
The woman's voice suddenly stopped and she fell to the ground, not speaking or moving.
