Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Reading Session Participants Are All Interested in...
All participants in the reading session expressed high recognition for the short stories provided by the organizers - although the direction of their recognition was somewhat different.
Zhou Zhu, who had waited the entire process anxiously, breathed a sigh of relief that he had not been discovered.
"Then which one should I submit first?" Zhou Zhu looked at several stories and began a new round of dilemma.
There are quite a few stories, and which one to submit first has become the most important issue at the moment.
Wen Qian narrowed his eyes, thought rapidly, and his decision-making difficulty suddenly struck, causing his brain to freeze.
"How about this one?" Loren took out one of the pages, placed it on the table and tapped it lightly.
"The setting of this story is very similar to our college. Perhaps it will help students feel more involved."
Loren smiled and said, "And I always feel that this story is strangely familiar."
Lin Huai took a glance and silently looked away.
He remembered that this article was about the bell tower summoning the dead. How could he not be familiar with it? It was the one where they pretended to be ghosts before.
"This article is good. Why don't you submit this one first and submit the rest later." Seeing someone made a choice, Wen Qian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhou Zhu.
Zhou Zhu, who was hesitant between several stories, nodded heavily.
She walked aside, took out the college daily, and prepared the email by comparing it with the submission requirements at the back of the story column.
Loren: "Wen Qian..."
"Wen Qian, do you have time during the holidays?" Chu Lingyu interrupted him. He walked to Wen Qian, just separating her and Loren.
The air in the room was subtly quiet for a second. Loren's smile faded slightly. Lu Yanbai, who was sitting at the table, looked up. The eyes of several people fell on Wen Qian at the same time.
Chu Lingyu skillfully ignored others.
"Do you want to go see the movie we talked about during our last chat together during the holidays?" He leaned against the wall, his tone casual, his eyes focused on Wen Qian, trying to catch her reaction.
"This weekend?" Wen Qian thought for a moment.
As soon as she opened her mouth, not only Chu Lingyu became nervous, but everyone else's breathing also slowed down.
Although they were all waiting for her answer, the three of them had different moods.
"No way."
Chu Lingyu was disappointed, but the other two were just the opposite.
Wen Qian's next words made them nervous again.
"Chu Lingyu, you're a step late." Wen Qian said casually, "Someone has already made an appointment with me. I don't have time during the holiday."
Someone asked Wen Qian to go out during the holidays. Who was it?
Chu Lingyu looked at Loren and Lu Yanbai suspiciously. Their expressions remained calm, making it impossible to tell what they were thinking.
He frowned slightly. Could it be that one of them had made an appointment with Wen Qian in advance?
Lu Yanbai and Loren didn't say anything, but they had the same thought in their minds.
Who did Wen Qian make an appointment to go out with this weekend?
Loren looked up and met Lu Yanbai's gaze, who happened to be looking at him at this moment. Seeing the other person's cold expression, Loren kept smiling.
Is it Lu Yanbai? Or is it Wen Qian's neighbor?
After sending the submission email, Zhou Zhu's heart was in his throat for the next two days. He looked at the mailbox from time to time, looking forward to receiving the email, but also worried that it would be a rejection email.
Wen Qian tied a net to a small wooden stick and waved the stick to catch the experience value bubbles in the activity room. Seeing Zhou Zhu looking out the window absent-mindedly, she put down the stick and walked to her side.
"Don't be nervous, it will definitely be approved." Wen Qian said confidently.
"The news agency is very busy lately. They will email you back when they are done."
Zhou Zhu half-lay on the table, listlessly saying, "I'm just worried that the manuscript won't be accepted."
"Impossible." Wen Qian's tone was very certain.
She would never make such a mistake in her work. Of course, she would only organize a reading club to encourage Zhou Zhu to submit his work if she was absolutely sure.
——Before the reading session started, she secretly took several stories that Zhou Zhu had finished drafting to the vice president of the news agency and asked her privately whether these stories could be approved.
What if Zhou Zhu didn't inquire about the situation in advance, and submitted his manuscript confidently after the reading session, but was rejected in the end?
She only has this one little bamboo, and she can't let it wilt.
The end result was good, almost too good.
It is known that the news agency was short of manuscripts, and she brought a large number of manuscripts to their vice president.
The vice president quickly flipped through the manuscript she brought, and for the first time, a smile appeared on his serious face: "Since you're here, don't leave."
"ah?"
"I'm talking about these manuscripts."
Wen Qian looked down and saw that the vice president's hand was tightly gripping the manuscript. She tried to pull it away, but it didn't budge.
“So all of these can be approved?”
"Of course." The vice president nodded with satisfaction. They had been short of manuscripts for such a long time. In order to avoid gaps in manuscripts, they sometimes had to ask people in the society to fill in. Now the relief grain from the court has finally arrived!
"President Wen, I didn't expect you to be so concerned about the difficulties of our news agency." The vice president secretly exerted force, trying to snatch the manuscript from Wen Qian's hands.
She spoke quickly, "If possible, we will arrange for one article to be published in the next issue, and the remaining articles will be arranged later."
"Thank you for your appreciation, but I can't give it to you for the time being." Wen Qian smiled and nodded, his hand holding the manuscript motionless.
The two of them were talking and smiling on the surface, but a tug-of-war was secretly going on with their hands.
The vice president suffered a crushing defeat.
The scene of the manuscript defense battle flashed through his mind. Wen Qian looked at Zhou Zhu and said solemnly, "Xiao Zhu, if this manuscript is accepted, you must send the next one as soon as possible!"
"Huh?" Zhou Zhu was confused.
You haven't even received any news this time, but you're already thinking about next time?
Wen Qian repeated it, asking her to submit her work as soon as possible - if she didn't continue to submit her work, the vice president would really come to her!
The phone on the table beside him popped up an email message reminder. Zhou Zhu immediately lowered his head to look at the phone when he heard the sound, and Wen Qian also came over.
"Open it and take a look!"
[Congratulations... Please add the contact information of the person in charge...]
"I've passed the manuscript..." Zhou Zhu was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. "Wen Qian, I've passed the manuscript!!"
Lin Huai happened to push the door open at this moment. Hearing the movement in the room, he walked over quickly: "Has the manuscript been approved?"
"Passed!" Zhou Zhu showed the email he had just received to Lin Huai.
"So don't worry, you will definitely pass." Lin Huai nodded and said.
The clanging sounds nearby attracted their attention. Turning around, they saw Wen Qian squatting beside her pile of miscellaneous items, looking for something with his head down.
"Wen Qian, what are you doing?" Lin Huai put down his bag and walked to Wen Qian.
"Lin Huai, please help me find it. I remember there is a photo frame in here."
"Photo frame, is this it?" Lin Huai took out a photo frame from the cabinet under the display stand and handed it to Wen Qian, "What are you looking for this for?"
"After Xiaozhu's story is published, hang it up in the college daily newspaper for that day!"
Zhou Zhu's expression froze in excitement. Wait a minute——
"Hang it on the wall to our left, in the very center. It's the most conspicuous place and you can see it at a glance."
"Then I'll go wash it."
He looked at Zhou Zhu's shocked and stiff expression, paused, and smiled, "Let's plan a space for that. Other daily newspapers that pass through can also hang their articles there in the future."
Zhou Zhu: Wait a minute!!
The story is scheduled to appear in the college daily newspaper next Monday.
On the weekend, Wen Qian opened the door of Jiang Zhi's house as if he was familiar with the place.
"Why did you get up so early today?" Jiang Zhi asked. His voice sounded a little hoarse as he had just gotten up.
He looked down at Wen Qian and noticed that she was dressed differently from usual, his eyes moved slightly.
"Want to go out?"
"Yes!" Wen Qian said cheerfully, "I made an appointment with others to go out and play together."
She took the cake and paused as she took her hand back.
Jiang Zhi handed the cake to Wen Qian and had no intention of letting go. His eyes fell on Wen Qian.
"With whom?"
"Classmate."
classmate.
Jiang Zhi pursed his lips, and when he saw Wen Qian looking at him in confusion, he slowly let go of his hand.
He lowered his voice: "Wen Qian, are you and your classmates the only two people?"
"Yes." Wen Qian nodded.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Zhi's aura became even heavier.
He watched Wen Qian's back as he left, and only withdrew his gaze when he could no longer see his figure.
Jiang Zhi's face darkened. He had just asked tentatively if they could go together.
Wen Qian refused, even though she had never cared about such things before.
So who is it?
Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes, and names flashed through his mind.
At the same time, the other three people who knew that Wen Qian had an appointment this weekend were also thinking about this matter.
"Wen Qian, here, here, come here quickly!"
Wen Qian's eyes lit up and he quickly ran to the man who was waiting for her on the street.
"Xiao Zhu, do you want some cake?"
"Okay." Zhou Zhu walked beside Wen Qian, "Then let's find a place to sit first."
The two found a coffee shop and discussed their next itinerary.
"Let's go to the notebook market first, and then stroll along that road." Zhou Zhu said, "It's a pity that Lin Huai has something to do this week and can't come out to play with us."
"He said before that he had guests at home this weekend." Wen Qian cut the cake and handed half to Zhou Zhu. "It's okay, I'll bring him next time."
"What a beautiful cake! Let me take a picture!" Zhou Zhu came close to Wen Qian and took a picture of the cake.
"Wen Qian, do you want it? I'll send it to you."
"sure."
The moment Wen Qian updated his status, Jiang Zhi's face instantly darkened when he saw the content.
Wen Qian actually shared the cake with others?
Who is it? His eyes sank slightly, Loren, Lu Yanbai, or - Chu Lingyu?
