Chapter 175: The Original Couple and a Perfect Match
In the editorial department of Yenching Literature and Art, everyone felt a lot more relaxed with the publication of the magazine.
After all, this month's mission has been successfully completed.
As for what article to publish next month, we’ll talk about it later. At least I need to take a good rest today.
As the saying goes, an emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. Now the entire Yanjing Literature and Art is filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
"Yumo, I don't want to do anything today." Zhang Dening said to Shen Yumo sitting opposite him, "Say we should take some time off to go shopping in the department store. Will Teacher Zou agree?"
Shen Yumo glanced at Zhang Dening and said, "As long as you dare to ask Teacher Zou, I will follow you."
Zhang Dening looked at the smiling Shen Yumo, and finally waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I still want to live two more days!"
"By the way, has Aunt Chen been eyeing you these days? Why does she often come to you to talk?"
Shen Yumo was also helpless. She felt that Aunt Chen seemed to be targeting her and would talk to her whenever she had nothing to do.
To be honest, she really didn't want to have a heart-to-heart talk with Aunt Chen.
But sometimes, we have to not talk about it.
After all, Aunt Chen is not an ordinary person. Even if Zou Yan came, she would have to give in a little when facing this elder sister.
Not to mention these young people.
"Aunt Chen wants me to think more about my life." Shen Yumo said helplessly: "It's hard to refuse such kindness. What can I do if I don't listen honestly?"
Zhang Dening smiled and said, "I'll tell you a trick. No matter what she says, you should just say yes."
"When she finishes speaking, you leave without looking back!"
Looking at the smiling Zhang Dening, Shen Yumo thought to himself that this was the only method he could try.
Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.
Just as the two were talking and laughing, someone suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted loudly: "Where is Xu Lingyun? Get Xu Lingyun out here!"
Shen Yumo was startled when he heard the roar.
She looked at the person who was speaking, and saw a young man in his twenties waving a copy of Yanjing Literature and Art in his hand, and shouted, "What a crap novel Xu Lingyun wrote!"
"How could Liu Huifang be hit by a car? I think this author is a complete psychopath who only picks on good people!"
"Find him for me and ask him to rewrite it for me."
Upon hearing this request, Shen Yumo was speechless. He asked the author to rewrite it. It was amazing that this young man could come up with such an idea.
"Comrade, I am Zhao Jinjiu, the head of the novel group of Yanjing Literature and Art. What can I do for you?" At this time, Zhao Jinjiu walked in.
He smiled and said, "Come, sit down and take a rest first!"
The young man looked at Zhao Jinjiu, who had a kind expression, and his expression immediately eased a lot.
He raised the Yanjing Literature and Art in his hand and said, "Editor Zhao, I came here today mainly to look for Xu Lingyun."
"To be honest, I was already furious after reading the first half of Desire that you guys released."
"I didn't expect that Xu Lingyun, such a cruel guy, would let Liu Huifang get hit by a car."
"People like Wang Husheng are actually good people."
"I used my money to buy books and he still got bullied. I wanted to beat him up."
Hearing this, Zhao Jinjiu smiled and said, "I understand your feelings very well."
“To be honest, although I am an editor, I am also a reader first.”
"I also want to scold him and ask Xu Lingyun to rewrite it."
"But after I thought about it, I found that Xu Lingyun's writing was the best choice."
At this point, he turned to the young man and said, "Young man, you said you were so angry after watching the first half, why did you want to watch the second half?"
“And they lined up to buy it.”
The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "I...I like the characters in "Desire"."
"I hope Liu Huifang, Song Dacheng and others can live a good life."
“I feel like these people are living next to us.”
“So when I didn’t see the second half, I really wanted to see it.
Now when I see the second half, I want to hit someone."
Listening to the young man's emotional words, Zhao Jinjiu smiled and said, "What does this mean? This fully proves that you really like the work "Desire"."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way to our editorial office to voice your opinions."
"When we read a novel, we should look at what the author wants to express through this novel..."
After Zhao Jinjiu's explanation, the young man slowly calmed down.
After drinking a glass of water, he apologized and left.
However, before leaving, he still expressed his wish: he wanted to meet Xu Lingyun in person if he had the chance, and ask him why he had to write such a distressing thing.
At the same time, he also insisted on his own opinion, that is, if it can be changed, he must let Xu Lingyun change "Desire"!
After seeing the young man off, Zhao Jinjiu said with emotion: "It's great to be young. You don't have to hide anything you want to say. You can just say it all out loud!"
Shen Yumo said: "Editor-in-Chief Zhao, do you think we need to truthfully feedback this reader's opinion to Xu Lingyun?"
"Of course I have to tell him about it." Zhao Jinjiu said, "Although this novel is very well written, we also need to let him know everyone's opinions."
Just as Zhao Jinjiu was speaking, Zou Yanlai walked in.
"Lao Zhao, please contact the printing factory and ask them to prepare more prints."
"Xinhua Bookstore called just now and said that all the magazines in their warehouse have been sold out."
"Let's print more."
Zhao Jinjiu glanced at the time and found that it was just past eleven in the morning.
In other words, the magazine was sold out in just over three hours.
This is too fast.
Normally, although "Yenching Literature and Art" is not unsalable, there is basically no need to reprint it.
Now, in just three hours, the "Yenching Literature and Art" which had been printed a lot more than before was sold out in an instant.
If they continue at this level, doesn't that mean their sales have a chance to break one million?
"Okay, I'll contact them right away." Zhao Jinjiu said this, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Yan Lai, I think we should prepare for the work seminar."
The work seminar is an opportunity for authors to show themselves.
For the magazine, it is also a rare opportunity to show off.
After all, this means that the magazine has produced good work.
Zou Yanlai said, "We just held a seminar for the work of 'The Pursuit of Happiness'. Wouldn't it be too frequent to hold another seminar for Cheng Xuyuan now?"
Zhao Jinjiu said: "What's the big deal? If anyone has any objections, just let them produce a work like Desire."
“It’s not like we’re not letting them drive.”
Zou Yanlai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact Cheng Xuyuan later and ask him to make some preparations."
Looking at the two bosses rushing back and forth, Zhang Dening said with emotion: "See? This guy Xu Lingyun is about to explode!"
"How about we go to Yenching University to find him and ask him to treat us to a meal?"
"It can be considered as fighting against the local tyrants."
Shen Yumo waved his hand and said, "You go if you want to go, I have something else to do."
In the afternoon, almost the entire editorial department was talking about the second half of "Desire".
Although these editors have already read the full version of "Desire", they are still encouraged by the current success of the separately published version of "Desire".
After all, they edit the magazine.
Just before the end of the afternoon shift, Xiao Liu, who was in charge of chores in the office, walked in excitedly and said, "Dear teachers, just now, the People's Art Theatre sent us ten tickets."
"These are the premiere tickets for The Pursuit of Happyness. If you want to watch it, hurry up and register."
After hearing Xiao Liu's words, the editors who were about to leave work stopped immediately.
"The Pursuit of Happyness" itself is of very good quality and can resonate with people. Now that it has been adapted into a drama by the People's Art Theatre, it is even more exciting.
What's more, the script of this drama was adapted by Cheng Xuyuan.
Zhang Dening said, "Let's go and register as well."
Shen Yumo looked at the seniors who were eager to make a move and said, "De Ning, there are only ten tickets. Do you think it will be our turn?"
Zhang Dening said: "Why not? After all, we are both Xu Lingyun's editors!"
"How can we be left out of this kind of thing?"
"Xu Lingyun is going to be a big star. Look how popular Desire is and now the drama is going to be staged again."
“It’s really enviable.”
"I will write something good when I get back. Even if I am not as good as Xu Lingyun, I will try to adapt it into a play. I will be thankful and very satisfied!"
Shen Yumo smiled and didn't respond.
Riding his bicycle, Shen Yumo returned home with two copies of "Yenching Literature and Art".
As a magazine editor, it is normal to take two sample books home.
Don’t ask, asking is to learn and improve.
As Li Yufei lived on campus most of the time, the permanent residents of the Shen family became Shen Yunliang and his wife, Shen Yulin and his wife, and Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo had just parked his bicycle and was about to go upstairs when he met Ma Xiaoli who was getting off work.
"Yu Mo, are you off work?" Ma Xiaoli greeted with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, I just got home." Shen Yumo has always respected Ma Xiaoli. The two aunts and sisters-in-law have always had a good relationship because they are of similar age.
Ma Xiaoli smiled at Shen Yumo and said, "Yumo, this issue of your magazine is so popular!"
"Five out of the seven people in our office have bought this issue of your magazine!"
"But the author Xu Lingyun was also badly criticized!"
"If he were here, I would also want to scold him. What a nice Liu Huifang, she was hit by a car!"
"Although he arranged it this way for a purpose, I just don't like it."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, several readers came to our magazine today to express their dissatisfaction with the author Xu Lingyun."
"There is also a reader who insisted that Xu Lingyun change the ending."
"I don't want to change!"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoli couldn't help laughing.
She hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Yumo, Cheng Xuyuan is actually quite good. Not only does he write good novels, but he is also smart."
"If you go to college now, you can find a decent job when you graduate in the future."
"It should be better for you two to be together than to find someone new."
Shen Yumo didn't expect that his sister-in-law would say such words.
She knew that Ma Xiaoli was doing this for her own good.
But on this matter, she could only say: "Sister-in-law, let me think about it again."
Ma Xiaoli said: "Yumo, my mother is very worried about you."
"From what my mother said, she probably thinks Xiao Cheng is really good."
"Not only are you two a perfect match, but you are also a perfect match at work."
