She felt that she really should check the almanac before going out. Why did she always run into these people every time she went out?
In fact, she is not thin at over 110 pounds. She looks thin with her small frame, but her body and face have flesh, just the right amount of fullness. From behind, her back and waist are thin and slender, and her exposed wrists and ankles seem like they will break if pinched, but she has standard big breasts and a plump butt.
Her plump oval face and excellent bone structure make her look more like a rich lady who was raised in a boudoir. She has thin eyelids, watery almond eyes, a slightly fleshy nose, and lips like a ripe peach, with a natural red lip color that seems as if you could suck out the sweet juice if you bite it.
Guo Huaiqiang was stunned: "This... is this Su Luo?"
Su Lili, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw him like that, and said sarcastically, "Su Luo, why did you suddenly lose weight? Could it be that you have fallen for some man again and want to take action against him?"
She had a serious expression on her face, ready to cast a spell.
Su Luo interrupted him: "It's none of your business."
Su Lili was choked, her face turned pale: "How do you talk like that?!"
Guo Huaiqiang quickly said: "We are all friends who grew up together, so let's be tolerant of each other."
"How vulgar!" Su Lili looked her up and down with contempt. "You stay in the countryside every day and learn dirty words all day long. It's no wonder. Although we all grew up together, you only finished elementary school, while we finished junior high school and worked in the factory, which is different from you. How can I put it otherwise? We are in different circles. You and us just can't fit in."
Su Luo couldn't help but sneered: "Does studying in junior high school make you feel superior? It's not that I don't fit in, but the people I fit in with don't include you at all, Su Lili."
Su Lili was confronted by her. Guo Huaiqiang beside her tried to pull her back but failed: "It's so funny. You are a country woman who gave birth to a bunch of kids with a man before getting married. You don't know how to behave. Who would be willing to be with you in your lowly circle?"
She pointed at Guo Huaiqiang next to her and said, "Brother Qiang is a reporter in the newspaper. He knows all the editors and chief editors in various newspapers. The people we hang out with are all well-known figures in the town. Brother Qiang also knows a big editor in the county and has the hope of being transferred to the county to be a reporter. Your circle? It's so funny!"
"It's none of my business." Su Luo looked at them with amusement, showing three parts of sarcasm, three parts of disdain, and three parts of indifference appropriately, as if she didn't take them seriously at all.
When faced with people who show off with a mean face, the more disdainful their expression is, the more indignant they become and the more likely they are to feel uncomfortable all over.
Guo Huaiqiang thought she was pretty, but anyone would feel uncomfortable if looked down upon by a beautiful woman.
He couldn't help but boast, "It's really nothing big. I just got a short article selected for publication in the Jingjing Newspaper Weekly and received 5 yuan in royalties. Do you know Jingjing Newspaper? It's the newspaper that serialized the novel "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"."
Su Lili burst out laughing: "Brother Qiang, can she understand what you are saying to a country girl like her? She may not even recognize all the words in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
Su Luo twitched her lips slightly but didn't respond.
Su Lili thought she had hit a sore spot, and finally felt proud: "You may have never heard of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, right? This is a martial arts novel, which has become very popular recently. Our factory director and almost all the cultural people in the factory are reading it. If anyone doesn't know Duan Yu and Qiao Feng in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, they will be laughed to death. People who don't keep up with the trend will be left behind, right?"
As he was speaking, Zhou Mubai came out of the cinema, followed by a mature middle-aged man.
Guo Huaiqiang was the first to see Zhou Mubai coming out. He recognized him as the top editor of Jingjing Newspaper. He wanted to show off in front of Su Luo, so he quickly approached him and said, "Editor Zhou! What a coincidence! You're here to watch a movie too?"
Zhou Mubai walked to Su Luo's side and looked Guo Huaiqiang up and down in confusion: "You are..."
Guo Huaiqiang raised his right hand quickly: "Hello, I am Guo Huaiqiang, a reporter whose short article was accepted by your weekly magazine last week. It is about the work of the workers in the steel plant."
Zhou Mubai then remembered that there was such a person, but the manuscript of this person was not accepted by him, but by another editor.
He even had an argument with another editor about this.
Their weekly magazine was extremely popular because of the serialization of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". The more people read it, the more they had to be selective in selecting other articles in the magazine and raise their standards to meet the literary needs of the public. This report on the steel plant was positive throughout, but it was too formal, with a pedantic official tone and was not down-to-earth enough.
This kind of article that reflects the hard work of the working people should use down-to-earth language to narrate the story so as to make the article more down-to-earth, rather than using rigid official language and flowery praises throughout the article.
This kind of manuscript is not written for ordinary people to read, but more like a report written to superiors.
He originally did not agree to accept it, but another editor preferred this kind of official-language articles, so he finally accepted it.
It also made him feel depressed for a long time.
Guo Huaiqiang wanted to show off in front of Su Luo, and he was reckless and tried to find something to say in front of Zhou Mubai: "Editor Zhou, what do you think of my manuscript? Is there anything inappropriate?"
Zhou Mubai is a very serious person about literature. Since he asked, he naturally had to say this: "The whole article is full of official rhetoric and too pretentious."
"..." Guo Huaiqiang's modest smile froze on his face, "Ah, so that's how it is. Then I do have room for improvement."
