Chapter 175 A little thump
Zhao Yanshu started school the next day. While he was busy with school matters, he submitted the manuscript he had compiled.
However, it was more than half a month later that I received no reply to the submitted manuscript.
Zhao Yanshu was a little nervous. Although Lin Yuzhu comforted him and told him not to worry, he was still a little anxious. After all, the publishing houses he had submitted his manuscripts to were all in Beijing, and normally there would be news within two or three days. But now he hadn't even received any news of rejection, and he didn't know what was going on.
In fact, Lin Yuzhu was also a little worried. Did she really lose the election?
Fortunately, within two days, Zhao Yanshu came back from school and excitedly told her, "The editor-in-chief of the publishing house called the school today and asked me to go to their office tomorrow to discuss it in detail."
Lin Yuzhu was also very happy for him after hearing this, "Really? What did he say?"
"Not much. The call was made to the teacher's office. The teacher told me to go to the publishing house tomorrow. He didn't say much."
Lin Yuzhu was not disappointed. "That's good too. It should be a good thing for you to go. I happen to have a day off tomorrow. Do you want me to go with you?"
"If you want to go, then come with me. I'm a little nervous going alone."
Lin Yuzhu smiled as soon as she heard it, "Okay, then I'll go with you!"
…
So the next morning, the two of them packed up early, changed into clean clothes, and Lin Yuzhu even wore the skirt and leather shoes that Zhao Yanshu bought for her.
Then the two of them went to publishing together.
Only after she arrived did she find out that Zhao Yanshu had submitted his paper to the famous People's Literature Publishing House.
She couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but seeing how calm Zhao Yanshu was, she quickly controlled herself and didn't show it.
Wow, it looks like their family is going to produce a great writer!
After the two arrived, they soon met Editor-in-Chief Tian who had called Zhao Yanshu.
Editor-in-Chief Tian looks quite old, almost 50 years old. As the editor-in-chief of a state-owned enterprise, she seems very easy-going.
After seeing the two, he smiled and said, "I finally met our great talent. I didn't expect that the author of such a good novel like "Going Home" would be so young."
"Going Home" is the name of the novel. Lin Yuzhu became excited when she heard it.
Oh my God, even the editor-in-chief of People's Publishing House praised Zhao Yanshu for his talent. It seems that today should be a good result.
Zhao Yanshu was actually very nervous and excited, but he tended to get nervous easily, so he looked very calm at the moment, "Editor-in-Chief, you're too kind. Compared to others, I'm still far behind."
Seeing how humble he was, and not arrogant, Editor-in-Chief Tian smiled even more deeply.
"You are too modest. Young people with talent should be praised. Besides, your novel has caused a stir in our unit recently!
But I have to be honest with you, your book is indeed well written, but people who have read it have different opinions. That is why we have been struggling and have not contacted you for so long. "
Hearing this, both of them were startled and had a bad feeling.
Director Tian sighed and continued: "This "Going Home" is the best novel I have read in all these years, but kid, don't you think its plot is too gloomy?
We have so many wonderful things in our socialist country, why should we write about suffering?
But I have to say, it’s about suffering, and you wrote it very well. After reading it once, this story has been on my mind for the past few days!
Undoubtedly, your novel is a success, but as I just said, its plot is too dark!
This is also the reason why those who oppose it have this problem, so we are also struggling with it.
Tell me, what do you think? You have the talent to write a good story, right? Don't doubt it, we can publish it directly. Why do you insist on taking a harder path?
So I called you over here to ask you if this novel can be modified. I don’t want to change the whole story, but only the ending, so that the protagonist’s niece is alive and admitted to the university, and the uncle and niece live a good life in the future…”
