Chapter 211 The blame falls from the sky, but the original intention remains unchanged
In Cheng Xuyuan's opinion, Xu Simou accidentally bumped into the bench but blamed himself, which was the biggest blame he had to bear today.
But he didn't expect that this pot was just the first one of the day.
In the afternoon, Cheng Xuyuan, who had no classes, was dragged by Fang Yuqing to attend Zhu Guangqian's lecture.
Since most of the exams have been over, everyone has plenty of time and a lot of people came to the lecture.
When Fang Yuqing and Cheng Xuyuan arrived, Jin Yuanying had already helped to reserve a seat in advance. Seeing the two people, she joked with a hint of resentment: "You two are so affectionate, and you have the nerve to ask a girl to help you reserve a seat!"
"Cheng Xuyuan, I'm not criticizing you."
"When other people are in a relationship, their boyfriends usually help the girls save seats, but you actually asked your girlfriend's roommate to help save seats."
"How dare you do such a thing!"
Listening to Jin Yuanying's complaints, before Cheng Xuyuan could say anything, Fang Yuqing had already smiled and begged for mercy: "Yuanying, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're right, he's too busy today!"
"Well, let him treat us to a meal later!"
"That's better." A smile appeared on Jin Yuanying's face.
Just when a few people were playing around, Zhu Guangqian walked in with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Guangqian had nothing in his hands. He walked to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote on the blackboard: "The topic of our lecture today is: You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of fish..."
As a master of his generation, Zhu Guangqian's classes have always been popular.
Not only students from this department, but also students from other departments would come to audit the classes.
Cheng Xuyuan had already remembered Zhu Guangqian's book in his mind, but at this moment, listening to the old man's story and confirming it with the book, he felt that he had benefited a lot.
“That’s wonderful!”
Just when Zhu Guangqian was talking about the exciting part, a loud shout suddenly sounded from below.
Hearing the roar, Zhu Guangqian stopped teaching and looked at the student who was shouting loudly.
Cheng Xuyuan and others also looked at that man.
The man seemed to be looking at something, without even looking up, with a look of fascination.
Anyone could see at this moment that this student's applause was not directed at the teacher.
When Zhu Guangqian looked over, the classmate next to him patted his shoulder, but the classmate didn't seem to react at all. Instead, he muttered, "Don't disturb me while I'm reading."
"What book is so interesting?" Zhu Guangqian asked with a smile.
"It's Xu Lingyun's "Undercover". It's so well written, I..." The student who was reading the book suddenly realized something before he finished his thoughts.
He looked up instinctively and saw Zhu Guangqian's half-smile.
Facing this look, the young student was stunned for a moment, then said: "Professor Zhu, I... I couldn't help it just now, I was wrong!"
"It is the greatest virtue to correct one's mistakes."
Zhu Guangqian smiled and said, "But from now on, you have to concentrate on everything you do."
"If you want to read a novel, read it first with a calm mind."
"You can't be indecisive. In the end, you won't be able to read the novel well and your studies will be delayed."
Hearing what Zhu Guangqian said, the student said with shame and gratitude: "Thank you, Professor Zhu. I will pay attention to it next time."
"Well, you just said that you were reading Xu Lingyun's "The Hidden Corner". Is it really that wonderful?" Zhu Guangqian asked with a smile.
The student scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Professor Zhu, it's really wonderful."
"I originally wanted to listen to your lecture carefully, but as I listened to you, all I could think about was the plot of the novel."
"I couldn't help myself and read the book."
After hearing what the student said, Zhu Guangqian said to Cheng Xuyuan who was sitting below: "Xu Lingyun, did you hear what happened to this classmate?"
"He was absent-minded in class because he blamed your wonderful handwriting."
Zhu Guangqian's teasing left Cheng Xuyuan speechless.
The classmates around him burst into laughter at this moment.
Although they felt that Zhu Guangqian's complaint was a bit far-fetched, when they thought about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.
It's not that we don't study hard, it's that your writing is too tempting.
Facing the gazes coming at him, Cheng Xuyuan stood up helplessly.
He waited until all the students finished laughing before he said in a deep voice: "Professor Zhu, although I feel a little wronged, but since you said so, I accept the responsibility."
"But Professor Zhu, let me say something here."
“When I started writing, all I wanted was to give the best stories to my readers.”
"My original intention will not change now and will not change in the future."
"Also, I would like to thank the classmate just now for recognizing my novel."
Following Cheng Xuyuan's words, a round of warm applause broke out.
Jin Yuanying looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was smiling, and whispered to Fang Yuqing: "Cheng Xuyuan looks honest, but he is actually very cunning."
"On the surface, he said he accepted Mr. Zhu's criticism, but a closer look revealed that he would definitely not change."
Fang Yuqing laughed quietly and defended her boyfriend, "Professor Zhu's criticism of Xuyuan is totally unreasonable."
"He can accept criticism, which shows respect for his teacher."
Jin Yuanying snorted and said, "You have gone insane now. Whatever Cheng Xuyuan says is good."
"Okay, I'm going to ignore you. Professor Zhu is going to start his lecture. I'll continue to attend the class."
Fang Yuqing did not disturb Jin Yuanying anymore, but looked at Cheng Xuyuan. She saw that Cheng Xuyuan was still smiling and listening to Zhu Guangqian's lecture.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's face, Fang Yuqing couldn't help but think of Cheng Xuyuan's words that his original intention remained unchanged, and she couldn't help but be a little dazed! ...
For Cheng Xuyuan, the popularity of his novel is an achievement.
Although I am concerned, I am not too worried about gains and losses.
But for Liu Xinwu and others, the publication of "October" made them feel conflicted.
When the first issue had not yet been published, they were looking forward to publishing it as soon as possible so that they could announce the launch of their magazine.
But after they received the message, they felt even more conflicted.
Do people buy their magazines? What do people think of their magazines? Will more people buy their magazines? These have become their main concerns.
Although this is the first literary magazine to be launched recently, everyone is still unsure about it.
Liu Xinwu ran to Zhang Zhong'e's office while waving a palm-leaf fan in his hand, and saw him writing furiously, as if he was writing something.
"Old Zhang, what are you doing?" Liu Xinwu asked curiously.
After all, no one is interested in work now, so what is Old Zhang doing? Zhang Zhonge smiled at Liu Xinwu and said, "There is a manuscript. I think the content is OK, but there are still many aspects that can be improved."
"I'm going to discuss with the author what changes he should make!"
Hearing this, Liu Xinwu sighed and said, "Old Zhang, today is the day when our magazine publishes its first issue, can't you pay attention to this?"
“When is the review going to be needed?”
Hearing Liu Xinwu say this, Zhang Zhonge said, "Xinwu, you can't say that."
“Although we are a bimonthly publication, we still have to move this work forward so that we can finalize the manuscript for the next issue as soon as possible.”
"As for sales, I think we should keep a calm mind."
"If sales are good, keep going."
"If sales are not good, we will learn from the lessons and find ways to increase sales."
Listening to the words of this senior, Liu Xinwu felt admiration in his heart.
He is indeed an old senior, standing higher and seeing farther than us young people.
"Old Zhong, you are absolutely right. I will review the manuscript as well."
Just as Liu Xinwu was about to leave, Zhang Zhonge said, "Xinwu, you have a lot of friends. I think you should make use of your advantages in this area and invite more manuscripts..."
Just as Zhang Zhong'e was giving serious instructions, the phone suddenly rang.
When Liu Xinwu answered the phone, he heard someone on the other end say, "Is this October magazine?"
"Yes, it is."
"Hello, I'm from the bookstore. Too many people bought this issue of your magazine."
"Our inventory has bottomed out, and there are still many readers who want to buy."
"We're hoping to pull some more magazines in tomorrow."
When Liu Xinwu heard the voice coming from the phone, his heart beat faster.
At this moment, his heart was filled with joy.
The magazine sold very well.
There is a lot of reader support.
Moreover, bookstores have to increase their order quantities. All these combined together mean that the newly launched "October" has been a success.
After hanging up the phone, he told Zhang Zhonge the good news.
Zhang Zhong'e, who had been calm, put down the pen in his hand and asked excitedly, "Really?"
“That’s great!”
"The fact that it can be sold is enough to show that readers still highly recognize our magazine."
“I just don’t know how everyone will react next.”
Liu Xinwu said: "Teacher Zhang, I think the one that received the best response from everyone should be Xu Lingyun's "Lush".
"Some time ago, when I was watching Insidious, I was so absorbed in it that I forgot to eat and sleep."
Zhang Zhong'e smiled and said, "Xu Lingyun's "Lush" is very attractive, but Xinwu's novel is also good."
"I think you write better than Xu Lingyun about love."
Liu Xinwu smiled and didn't say anything else. At this moment, the phone rang again.
This time, just as Liu Xinwu was about to answer, he saw Zhang Zhonge had already picked up the microphone. After hearing the voice inside, he looked surprised.
"What did you say? You're sold out over there too?"
"I remember that because there were so many colleges and universities in Haidian, we specially arranged some extra magazines."
"Why, are they all sold out?"
After hearing the affirmative answer, Zhang Zhonge smiled and said, "Okay, you continue to watch. If there is anything, call me as soon as possible."
As he was talking, Zhang Zhong'e put down the phone and said, "Xinwu, please contact the printing factory and ask them to work more overtime."
“Not only do we need to print more, but we also need to ensure the quality.”
Listening to Zhang Zhong'e's arrangement, Liu Xinwu said, "Okay, I'll go over right away."
Looking at Liu Xinwu's serious expression, Zhang Zhong'e wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Because he knew that what was coming next was the most important moment for the magazine.
The fact that the magazine sells well is just a good start. How many readers can stay is the key to the success of the magazine.
