In the next two days, Shen Xiaobei, Duan Donglin and the other six went to their respective schools to register.
Shen Xiaobei was studying journalism. Two days into the semester, she hadn't seen Qin Yapei in class. However, one day at noon when she went to the cafeteria for lunch, she was lucky enough to run into her there.
“Qin Yapei!”
"Are you, Comrade Shen?"
“Yes, my name is Shen Xiaobei. You can call me Xiaobei from now on. Do you still remember me?”
"Haha, I remember. A few days ago, my aunt told me that you were also admitted to the Communication University, and your house in Beijing is not far from my home. She also gave me the address you wrote. I was thinking that if I can't see you at school these few days, I will visit you at your place."
"I was also thinking that if I didn't see you at school these few days, I would visit you at your house!"
"Haha, it seems we really are in sync."
"you do not say!"
When old friends met, they had a very pleasant chat.
After finishing their meal together, they chose an empty table and sat down facing each other.
"Xiaobei, I've read your articles and books. You're amazing!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Abbott. I heard from your aunt that you had excellent grades in school, especially your writing skills. I'd love to have the chance to read your work!"
"Haha, those are all old memories from my school days, not worth mentioning. Besides, I've never published any work in any publication."
"Then you can also submit your article to a publication. It's very simple. Once it's accepted, it will be published soon."
"I know it's easy to submit, but I've been out of school for so many years now, and I'm still not confident in my writing skills."
"Are you afraid of rejection? Rejection is nothing. Which great writer hasn't experienced rejection? If you get rejected, just keep writing and keep submitting. As long as you persist and don't give up, there will always be a day when your submission will be successful."
"Haha, Xiaobei, I don't have your courage. I usually don't do things that I'm not sure of."
She is really a cautious girl, and also a girl who cares about her reputation.
Shen Xiaobei smiled, and stopped encouraging her to submit her work without any scruples like her, and then chatted with her about other things.
Qin Yapei majored in radio and television. She said she wanted to be a TV announcer in the future, and Shen Xiaobei supported her ideal very much.
Then the two talked about joining clubs. Shen Xiaobei said she was planning to join the school's literature club. Qin Yapei was also quite interested and said she wanted to join as well.
After that, the two often met in the literature club.
Shen Xiaobei has already gained a certain degree of fame in the literary world, and some students, like Qin Yapei, have read her works before.
So as soon as she joined the literature club, she was very popular and had good relationships with others. She soon became a celebrity in the club and, with everyone's unanimous recommendation, became the vice president of the club.
Shen Xiaobei was doing well in college, and her academic and club tasks were a bit heavy, but she did not forget to write the manuscript.
As soon as the three-month deadline was up, she submitted a refined novel manuscript to Editor-in-Chief Ni as promised.
Editor-in-Chief Ni, as always, was very optimistic about her work and confidently predicted, "The new book published this year will definitely sell very well!"
Shen Xiaobei smiled and didn’t listen seriously.
Unexpectedly, Editor-in-Chief Ni has such a strong market acumen.
Her fourth book was sold out as soon as it was released in bookstores, and the publishing house quickly contacted the printing factory to print more copies overnight.
Shen Xiaobei discovered that the reason why this book sold so quickly was because the college entrance examination was relaxed, and this year there were nearly 300,000 more college students in the country.
College students generally love reading, generally value spiritual food, and generally are interested in new things.
Therefore, once a new book is released on the market, especially a new book published by a young female writer with some fame like her, it will naturally be sold out quickly by them.
After the publication of his fourth book, Shen Xiaobei's fame in school skyrocketed.
Some classmates would bring books to her for her autograph when they met her on campus.
Shen Xiaobei was not blinded by the prosperity, fame and fortune, and was still able to calm down and continue to write his fifth book.
Under her influence and that of the literary society, Qin Yapei also started writing as an amateur. However, she was not good at writing long stories, so she wrote short stories.
During the first semester, she also published several short stories in several newspapers and magazines.
When Qin Yapei received the manuscript fee from the newspaper for the first time, she excitedly treated Shen Xiaobei to a big meal to thank her for opening a window in her life and adding a colorful touch to her university life.
In addition to Qin Yapei, under the influence of Shen Xiaobei, several boys and girls in the literature club also started submitting their works.
Looking at Qin Yapei and the group of literature-loving classmates in the literature club, Shen Xiaobei had a bold entrepreneurial idea in mind before the end of the first semester.
However, it is not the time to implement this idea yet.
She plans to wait for more than half a year until the wind of reform and opening up starts blowing, and then start implementing it at the beginning of next year.
When Shen Xiaobei had written one-third of the manuscript for his fifth book, summer vacation came. Duan Donglin and Gao Hongmian decided to stay in Beijing during the summer vacation, hoping to make some money during this summer vacation.
Deng Yuliang and Ye Zhicheng both have wives and children in their hometowns. They both missed their families and went back as soon as they had the holidays.
Neither Ma Deliang nor Du Wenli went back. They both decided to find a temporary job during the summer vacation to earn some living expenses. So after the vacation, they had no place to live for a while, so they both came to Shen Xiaobei's courtyard with a bag of luggage.
