Chapter 177 Professor Li’s Proposal
Although Lin Yuzhu and Zhao Yanshu were somewhat disappointed that the novel could not be published, they soon recovered.
After Zhao Yanshu cheered up, he continued to write some short articles and submit them to newspapers or magazines to earn royalties.
Maybe it’s because I put a lot of effort into writing “Going Home” before, so I’m not in a hurry to start preparing for a new book now.
Lin Yuzhu observed for a while and found that he quickly focused on his studies, so she felt relieved.
However, after returning from school that day, Zhao Yanshu told her something.
"Professor Li from our college came to me today and told me something."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Professor Li knows Editor-in-Chief Tian. Maybe Editor-in-Chief Tian told him about the novel I wrote, so Professor Li wanted to ask me if I could show it to him."
Lin Yu didn't think much about it and said directly: "That's great, Professor Li must be very good, right? You can ask him to help you see if there is anything that needs improvement."
"Well, I'll show it to him tomorrow."
…
As a result, when he returned home the next day, Zhao Yanshu told her another thing.
"After reading my novel, Professor Li thought it was well written. He also knew the reason why the publishing house rejected it. He told me that if I wanted, he could find someone to help me publish it overseas and in Hong Kong."
"Ah?" Lin Yu was surprised. "Professor Li, do you have connections abroad?"
"Well, Professor Li once studied in the United States. Besides being a professor of ancient literature in our major, he is also an English teacher at the School of International Politics."
Lin Yuzhu was even more surprised after hearing this. "Ah, he is so amazing! But he went abroad to study. How was his life in the ten years before that?"
Zhao Yanshu nodded. "Very good. Professor Li has a family background in education. Both his parents were diplomats. He went abroad with his family, who were also ambassadors. Editor-in-Chief Tian is a friend of Professor Li's parents."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Lin Yuzhu was a little surprised, "So, this Professor Li is not very old?"
"Yes, Professor Li is 30 years old this year? What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I originally thought that Professor Li knew Editor-in-Chief Tian, so he must be quite old. I didn't expect that he is already a professor at the age of 30. It's amazing!"
Zhao Yanshu also nodded, "Professor Li is indeed amazing!"
"So what do you think? Are you willing to publish it abroad first?"
Zhao Yanshu shook his head. "I don't know. If it can be published, it would be a good thing. I just think it would be very troublesome, and it would all require Professor Li's help."
Lin Yuzhu also nodded. "That's right. Although Professor Li is a good person, we can't trouble him so much. After all, this is not an easy thing to do. So did you refuse?"
"No, Professor Li just asked me to come back and think about it. I haven't told him the decision yet."
“I see.”
Lin Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if this novel will be popular abroad. Do foreigners like to read this kind of book?"
Zhao Yanshu didn't quite understand. "I don't know. The country publishes few books abroad now, but it imports quite a few. There are all kinds of novels, but most of them are from great writers and have educational significance."
Oh, Lin Yuzhu hasn’t seen it either.
To be honest, if Zhao Yan's book could be published abroad, it would be a glory for the country!
But she thought Zhao Yanshu didn't want to trouble Teacher Li, so she didn't plan to make any suggestions.
Just let him make his own decision!
