Chapter 75 Newspaper
After Ye Qian left the post office with a smile on her face, she put the passbook into the space.
I was in a really good mood today. I walked to the state-owned restaurant with brisk steps and humming cheerful songs.
Today on the blackboard there are the long-missed honey-glazed lamb chops. I had this dish last year and it tasted really good.
Ye Qian ordered a lamb chop and a white flour bun as the main course.
After paying the money and the ticket, I found an empty seat and sat down. Soon, the food was served. I was in a good mood and my appetite was naturally good. Usually I could only eat half of the food, but today I was able to finish it all.
When Ye Qian was about to leave, she really couldn't hold on any longer.
Then he continued to sit down and rested for a while before leaving the state-owned restaurant with small steps.
Ye Qian was too full, and the Grain Bureau was not too far away and could be reached on foot, so Ye Qian did not take the bus.
After walking slowly for more than half an hour, we arrived at the Grain Bureau.
The security guard also asked Ye Qian why she came back so late, saying it was not safe for girls to go out at night.
Ye Qian told the old man not to worry, that she didn't go out every day, but she just had something to do today.
After returning to the dormitory, Ye Qian went to bed early.
Have a good night.
The next day.
The newspaper office sent a newspaper to Ye Qian and left it at the guard post. Ye Qian was planning to go out and buy one herself, but the guard stopped her and gave her the newspaper.
Ye Qian opened the newspaper and flipped through a few pages before seeing the novel she had written. It had 10,000 words, and including the layout, the entire page was filled with her novel.
Ye Qian took the newspaper back to the office and read it slowly. When she reached the end, the last name was her own name, Ye Qian from the Grain Bureau.
Ye Qian then remembered that the newspaper had asked her what name she wanted to use. Ye Qian couldn't think of any notes at the moment, so she just asked the newspaper to use her own name. But why did the newspaper also include her work unit? Although she didn't intend to hide it, it would be too arrogant to write it out directly. Besides, she was not a formal employee of the Grain Bureau, so she must make a note next time she wrote a letter.
The morning passed in a flash. At noon, Ye Qian went to the cafeteria to eat. At this time, Li Yue came to her side and said, "Have you read the newspaper? That was written by you, right? Don't tell me that we have the same name. The security guard has already spread the news about the newspaper sending you a letter."
Ye Qian exclaimed: "What? It's spread everywhere."
Li Yue said excitedly, "You really wrote this, didn't you? This novel is so well written. I was so excited just after reading the beginning. How much have you written? Tell me more."
Ye Qian rolled her eyes: "It's all spoilers, why bother reading it? It will affect newspaper sales. If you want to read it, just buy the newspaper."
After Ye Qian finished speaking, she thought of Li Yue's words: "What do you mean by 'the security guard spread the word for me'? What does that mean?"
Li Yue replied, "No one knew who Ye Qian from the Grain Bureau was. The security guard heard everyone was asking about Ye Qian and asked why they were looking for her. Then everyone said something you wrote was published in the newspaper, but no one knew which department Ye Qian was from. So the security guard said you were from the trade union and that the newspaper had written to you before, and he was the one who delivered it to you."
Ye Qian asked doubtfully, "Then how did you know that?"
Li Yue smiled and said, "Because the person who asked who you were was a boy from our logistics department, I just happened to hear it! And everyone knows that we came here together, and they all asked me about you."
Ye Qian was confused: "What is there for me to ask?"
Li Yue said, "I'm just curious about what kind of girl can write such a good novel. You're really good. Just the beginning of each issue can make everyone like it so much."
Isn't this nonsense? The most important thing in writing a novel is the golden three chapters that open and close the novel. Only if the first three chapters are well written will people want to read the following plot.
Ye Qian was a little upset because the Grain Bureau was added to the novel's title, so she asked Li Yue, "I originally planned to write Ye Qian directly when attributing it, but I didn't expect the newspaper to add the unit as well. But after all, we are not employees of the Grain Bureau. We are just here to learn. I am worried that it is not good and I am a little worried."
Li Yue only noticed these things after hearing Ye Qian's words: "Indeed, why don't you tell them to change it and not to belong to the Grain Bureau next time."
Ye Qian said, "Write a letter and send it to them. I guess they've already published the next issue."
Ye Qian's eyes lit up when she said this: "By the way, I can call them. They have a phone. Okay, I'll call them after dinner."
The two people who were talking were already queuing up at the window. When Li Yue was about to reply to Ye Qian, the security guard appeared.
The security guard walked up to Ye Qian and shouted, "Hey, aren't you Ye Qian? I read the newspaper today, and the novel you wrote is really good."
The security guard spoke so loudly that even in the cafeteria, others could hear him.
Most of the employees in the cafeteria were discussing which department Ye Qian from the Grain Bureau was from and who this person was. They were originally a little curious about who Ye Qian from the Grain Bureau was, but now they all looked towards the voice of the security guard.
Ye Qian turned around and found that everyone was staring at her. She felt so desperate, but she still smiled and thanked the old man: "Thank you, uncle. I'm glad you like it."
After saying that, he hurried to get his food. If he didn't run away and stood here, he didn't know how long he would chat.
After finishing her meal, Ye Qian realized that everyone's eyes were still following her. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, so she turned around, pulled Li Yue, and found an empty table to sit down.
Li Yue whispered to Ye Qian, "You've become quite the sensation."
Ye Qian whispered back, "I don't want to either."
The two finished their meal and left quickly. Ye Qian also returned to the dormitory and continued to work hard.
The secretary beside Gu Jinyan saw everything that happened at noon clearly. A novel? A newspaper? Something interesting?
What do you mean? Ye Qian wrote a novel, and it’s very good. Everyone knows it.
What exactly happened in this morning?
The secretary asked the colleague at the opposite table what novel it was. The person opposite told the secretary that it was a novel written by Ye Qian, which was serialized in XX newspaper. The first issue was published in the morning and it was very good.
The secretary quickly finished the meal in the bowl, and did not forget to pack it for Gu Jinyan, then returned to the office to look for the newspaper that his colleague had mentioned.
After searching carefully, he found Ye Qian's name and quickly sent the newspaper and lunch to Gu Jinyan.
Gu Jinyan was a little hungry and should have gone downstairs to have lunch, but every time he went to the cafeteria, there were some women staring at him, which affected his appetite, so he usually asked his secretary to bring him food. When he saw the food brought by the secretary and was about to eat it, he found that the secretary had not left yet and seemed to have something to say to him.
Gu Jinyan asked the secretary, "What's the matter?"
The secretary handed the newspaper to Gu Jinyan: "This is Ye Qian's novel. The first issue was just published today."
