The more I looked back, the more serious Teacher Tan's expression became.
Gradually, I even stopped drinking tea.
You’re not to mention.
The classmate Lu I recommended this time seems to be quite capable?
Teacher Tan put down the can and teacup, freeing his hands to read one page after another.
The further you look, the straighter Teacher Tan's back becomes.
Finally, he simply stood up with the manuscript in his hand, turning his head around and reading aimlessly.
Teacher Tan touched his forehead and smiled, his emotions were indescribably excited.
I wish I could rush to the English department right now and ask people carefully.
Were these manuscripts completed independently?
Fortunately, Teacher Tan had seen many big scenes and was able to hold it in.
The last time Director Ma came over, he said that Student Lu would not be able to be free in the short term.
Then let’s wait a little longer!
Don't worry...
We are from the same school, and there will be many opportunities to meet each other in the future.
I rarely stayed in the office before, so the desk was basically idle.
It will be different in the future. I'm afraid I'll have to come over occasionally. I should equip the drawers in the office with a few small locks.
Suppressing his excitement, Teacher Tan tidied up his desk with a smile.
On the other side, the English major class.
Li Yue came back from the office accidentally, hesitated for a long time, and finally stood in front of Lu Miao's desk.
She just stood there with a gloomy face and didn't say anything.
Lu Miao glanced up, rolled his eyes inexplicably, and continued to flip through the textbook:
"If you have to fart, just fart."
Li Yue pursed her lips and asked directly:
"Did Mr. Tan tell you about the National English Society?"
Lu Miao paused and looked at her suspiciously:
"How do you know about the British Society?"
"I asked you first!"
Li Yue's voice was sharp.
"You ask me and I have to answer?"
“…”
Li Yue was speechless.
Just as the class bell rang, she spat, glared at Lu Miao fiercely and said:
"Taking the backdoor is shameful!"
"Can you say that again?"
Lu Miao closed her textbook and stood up, but Guan Yangyang stopped her in time:
"The teacher is here."
"Damn woman!"
Lu Miao stared at Li Yue coldly and sat back at his desk.
Li Yue didn't dare to say more.
She has not yet cleared herself from the mistake she made last time.
Don't dare to do anything wrong in front of the teacher.
…
Li Yue didn't dare to cause trouble, and was worried that the gap between her and Lu Miao would become too big and she would really be surpassed.
For a period of time thereafter, Li Yue seemed to be possessed, studying English books day and night.
Li Yue gradually disappeared from the classroom, and her classmates were very surprised.
Even Guan Yangyang would occasionally pout at Lu Miao privately, asking Lu Miao to look at Li Yue:
"Are you really into books? Are you really going to do something great?"
Guan Yangyang's tone was ambiguous, and his remarks were mostly gossip.
Lu Miao shrugged and said indifferently:
"Who cares? It has nothing to do with me anyway."
The biggest shock is when the crazy woman is no longer crazy.
You never know what big move he's planning!
Lu Miao didn't bother to care, just keep her out of trouble.
"I don't have classes today, so I'm going home first. See you next week, Yangyang."
"Okay, see you next week!"
After finishing two classes in the morning, Lu Miao went home, had lunch, and cleaned up.
After sorting out the manuscripts from the past two weeks, she went to the publishing house in the afternoon.
The Chinese manuscript of nearly 30,000 words and more than 50 pages of manuscript paper filled the paper document bag bulging.
When Xu Hongmei took the heavy file bag, her eyes were full of disbelief.
"So many? So thick! What are these?"
"Fifty-six pages, exactly twenty-eight thousand words."
"Twenty-eight thousand words! Two weeks! Half a month!"
Xu Hongmei's eyes widened, the corners of her mouth twitched with excitement, and she almost jumped up from her chair while opening the file bag.
"How did you do that? Are you a machine? Even a machine can't do this. Aren't you still in school?"
Lu Miao raised his eyebrows, scratched his forehead playfully and helplessly, and said nonsense:
"Summer vacation is coming soon. The courses won't be as demanding, and I won't have to do voluntary labor before the exams. I'll have more time."
Xu Hongmei nodded, still finding it hard to believe.
Pulling out the manuscript paper from the file bag, Xu Hongmei carefully read a few pages. Then she thought of something and looked up to remind Lu Miao:
"Don't just think about the translation. Your studies are still important. You're about to take the final exam for the semester, and that will be recorded in your student file."
Lu Miao laughed dryly and nodded:
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Hongmei said "hmm" and lowered her head to continue reading the manuscript.
After all, I do this kind of work.
Even though she was fascinated by it, Xu Hongmei only took less than ten minutes to skim through the entire 28,000-word manuscript.
"I really regret it!"
"Um?"
Lu Miao looked puzzled.
What do you regret?
Xu Hongmei sighed deeply and helplessly told Lu Miao about Director Ma's frequent visits to this place.
"I should have said nothing at the time. Tell me, if I had kept you, how many problems would that have helped me solve?"
Lu Miao put his fist to his lips and smiled softly, saying jokingly:
"I didn't expect that I would become such a popular person."
Xu Hongmei looked at her reproachfully:
"Isn't that so?"
Lu Miao smiled even brighter.
Although her workplace is tortuous and always jumping around, it seems to make her feel a kind of cool life with a script in hand?
I have to say, the sense of security and comfort that comes from being recognized is quite refreshing.
Although Lu Miao doesn't take the initiative to make friends, she has a cheerful personality and can talk about anything.
The two of them joked around for a while. After Xu Hongmei finished writing her manuscript deadline list, she shook her hand and clapped it for a while:
"I originally thought you could stay under my wing for a while longer, but now it seems summer vacation is almost here. With your efficiency, that book probably won't be too difficult for you."
"But then again, let me be clear I'm not gossiping."
Xu Hongmei tapped the desktop and said seriously:
"The National English Society is not an ordinary place. The pressure is huge..."
"If you can't stay there in the future, this is your retreat. You're always welcome to come back."
This was the ultimate recognition of her.
Lu Miao couldn't help but become cautious and nodded seriously:
"I understand. Thank you, Editor Xu."
Xu Hongmei nodded and said with a smile:
"From now on, just call me Sister Xu when there are no outsiders around. Editor Xu, Editor Xu, it sounds strange."
Lu Miao smiled softly, his face full of warmth:
"Okay, Sister Xu."
"Why!"
After staying in the editor-in-chief's office for a while, Lu Miao received 120 yuan as settlement for the previous batch of manuscripts and went home.
I'll leave the work for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I haven't spent enough time with my kids for a while.
Lu Miao let Tang Mei rest, and he held one in each hand, with another following behind him.
A group of three, one big and three small, went out for a walk, carrying water bottles in their pockets.
Only in the shade of the alley did I teach the children to play the game of "radish squatting".
Then a young wife in her twenties or thirties came up and said:
"Oh, is that Xiao Fu's daughter-in-law?"
