"You don't have to talk if you don't know how to speak! You start to slander Xia Xia because you are not as capable as her? Xia Xia is speaking with her strength!

You and Xia Xia both occupied the best sections of the New Evening News, but the sales of the issue with your work were not as good as the one with Zhao Di. Also, do you know what you are writing recently? In order to make the protagonist feel at ease with the boss's daughter, you actually wrote Xiu Xiu to death!

Xiuxiu is such a good girl, she helped the protagonist so much, she even carried the unconscious protagonist over a mountain in the cold winter to find a doctor to save his life, but she ended up being a stepping stone for him to have a better life? The sales and reader feedback are very bad, and some readers even sent dead mice to our newspaper. If you have the time to be jealous, you might as well polish your plot!"

Before Li Xia could say anything, Qiao Ran slammed the table in anger.

Originally, Qiao Ran didn't want to invite Chen Tao to today's celebration party, but Chen Tao was studying at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in Eastern Province, and his editor insisted on inviting Chen Tao.

"That was just a normal plot. There will always be some unexpected things in life." After being confronted by Qiao Ran, Chen Tao's tone was no longer as arrogant as before.

Li Xia looked at him and found out that he was the author of "My Years as an Educated Youth".

She had no interest in the novel and had not even read it. When she heard Qiao Ran's words, she just found it ridiculous. The old routine of getting promoted, getting rich, and then the wife's death was indeed from the hands of a man.

She stood up, stared at Chen Tao and said, "Vested interests naturally cannot see the plight of women, nor can they see the rise of women.

My readers all saw Zhaodi's tenacity and perseverance, and were also inspired by her to strive for progress. But you, however, said that "Zhaodi" relied on selling misery.

It is because of people like you that we need more works like "Zhao Di" to encourage women to not fear hardship and to walk their own path. I never wrote "Zhao Di" to create any opposition between men and women. I never deny those excellent gay men, otherwise there would not be excellent gay men like Teacher Chen in the book, but I have to admit that there are many gay men like you.

It is precisely because of people like you that I want to write more. If everyone can empathize with women like the gay men who like to read "Zhao Di", then there will be no need for works like "Zhao Di" and there will no longer be "Zhao Di" in the world! "

Li Xia's words were powerful and everyone present, both men and women, applauded her.

Even Chen Tao's editor, who had previously disagreed over "Zhao Di" and "My Years as a Youth in the Educated Youth", joined in the applause.

Before, Qiao Ran had always looked down on "My Years as an Educated Youth" and was not convinced when people said that "Zhao Di" was better written. But now after listening to what Li Xia said, he could really see the difference!

When Chen Tao saw that his editors were applauding Li Xia, he lowered his head and was unable to say a word. However, one could tell from his expression that he was not convinced.

Li Xia and Qiao Ran ignored Chen Tao and started to eat after the dishes were served. After Li Xia came to Eastern Province, he had only eaten dishes cooked by Chen Dongju and Gu Hongjun. Now he was eating dishes cooked by the chef of the state-owned restaurant and thought they tasted quite good.

Throughout the dinner, except for the unexpected Chen Tao, Li Xia got along quite well with others. They discussed many writing issues and gained a lot.

Because of Chen Tao's inappropriate remarks, no one spoke much to him during the entire dinner.

Li Xia also received a box of five Hero brand pens from the newspaper to encourage her to keep writing.

Someone asked Li Xia: "Comrade Li, I heard that you also published articles in the Jinghua Military Newspaper. I wonder which one is your pen name?"

"Yes, we are very curious. In fact, I think Ping An's writing style is somewhat similar to yours. However, I have read every article written by Ping An no less than five times and concluded that her age should not be less than 35 years old. She is really not your age."

When Li Xia heard what this man said, she couldn't help laughing.

I watched it no less than five times, and I came to the conclusion that her age could not be less than 35 years old?

I don't know where I saw it from...

When Qiao Ran heard her colleague's remarks, she said with both anger and amusement, "Is it possible that your conclusion is wrong? Because Xia Xia is Ping An."

Li Xia smiled and did not deny it. Instead, she asked the man, "I wonder where you got the conclusion that I am no younger than 35?"

"Well... didn't the military newspaper publish an interview with you before? I saw that you wrote that your lover is the regiment commander, and I thought that the regiment commander should be quite old, and you should be about the same age as him, so..." She scratched her head embarrassedly.

Chen Tao, who had been silent the whole time, stood up as if he had caught Li Xia's handle and said, "So you married an old man. The article you published in the military newspaper must have been published through the back door, right? Otherwise, how could you have published an article in the Jinghua Military Newspaper! You just said it so high-soundingly, but in fact, you relied on a man..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Xia was not polite this time and directly splashed the water in the cup onto Chen Tao's face.

He said angrily, "Your mouth stinks, you should wash it! You are such a despicable person yourself, don't put these dirty things on others."

"That's right! It's generally acknowledged that Xia Xia writes well, stop slandering her here!"

"We have all read Comrade Li's article, it is very well written. You are really going too far by saying this. You are not only insulting our Jinghua Military Newspaper, but also insulting the People's Liberation Army!"

…

At this moment, Gu Weicheng, who was "not young anymore", was waiting for Li Xia outside the box with An An.

"Dad, I seem to hear someone arguing inside." An An said.

As a soldier, Gu Weicheng's hearing was naturally more acute than that of a child like An An. He vaguely heard the words "old dog" and "Jinghua Military News", and thought that this might be related to Li Xia.

Even if it had nothing to do with Li Xia, he was afraid that Li Xia would get hurt if there was a quarrel inside.

Thinking of this, Gu Weicheng pushed the door open and walked in.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the two, one big and one small. They saw a cute little boy wearing a tiger-head hat and a red cotton coat, and next to him stood a tall, handsome man in military uniform.
