Chapter 29 Teacher Zhang, I have something against you
In the 1970s, food coupons were distributed in fixed quantities to each person.
For people like Qin Yewei who use their brains, the monthly ration is only more than 30 kilograms of food.
So when you invite someone to dinner, you can pay for it, but the person being invited needs to prepare their own food coupons.
What's more, in the South City District, food coupons are basically distributed on the 24th. Now it is two days before the food coupons are distributed, and everyone is tightening their belts.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally had no objection to Qin Yewei's treat.
But treating others to dumplings seems a bit hard to accept.
After all, I just had dumplings at noon today! But seeing Shi Xuehong and others so excited, Cheng Xuyuan decided not to say anything.
After all, everyone wants to eat dumplings, and if you insist on being special, you will be targeted.
Cheng Xuyuan was silently waiting for his dumpling dinner, but at this time in the editorial office of "Yenching Literature and Art", Shen Yumo was flipping through the catalog of Yenching Literature and Art works to be published in the next issue.
There is no "The Pursuit of Happyness".
This shouldn't be the case! She has read three or four of the manuscripts here. In her opinion, although the quality of these manuscripts is good, there is still some gap compared to "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Why were these manuscripts published, but "The Pursuit of Happyness" was not?
If someone else encountered this situation, most of them would choose to remain silent.
After all, as a newcomer, the first thing to do when you come to a new unit is to learn.
As for things like having opinions, you have to keep them to yourself.
After all, you just came to this unit.
But Shen Yumo is different. She is extremely serious about her work, and she is used to speaking to people’s faces.
For example, when she and my husband agreed to marry me and spend three years to develop their relationship, she said it to my face.
If you agree, then get married. If you don’t agree, then break up.
When she returned to the city this time, she also made her decision clear to her master's family.
I can help Cheng Xuyuan change his rural household registration to non-rural, and I can help Cheng Xuyuan find a good job, but the divorce happened in half a year.
Divorce even if you disagree.
This time, she was ready to do the same.
So she went straight to Zhang Dening's desk without saying a word.
Zhang Dening was writing something. When he saw Shen Yumo coming over, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Yumo, what's the matter?"
"Teacher Zhang, I would like to ask, why is "The Pursuit of Happiness" not included in the first issue of "Yanjing Literature and Art" in the new year? " Shen Yumo did not hide anything and asked directly.
If Cheng Xuyuan, who is gradually turning evil, saw this behavior, he would definitely cover his face with his hands and pretend not to recognize her.
Sister, you can’t be so direct when communicating with others.
You should be more technical.
For example, Teacher Zhang, I think there is an article called "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" which is well written, but this time, it was not selected for publication. Can I ask about its flaws?
Or Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask you to guide me...
These statements are much better than directly questioning! Although Zhang Dening is called a teacher by Shen Yumo, she is actually less than 26 years old. The reason why she is asked to teach Shen Yumo is entirely because Shen Yumo is close to her age.
Zhang Dening also has some understanding of Shen Yumo's temper.
So Zhang Dening was not angry about her question.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shen Yumo had given her a manuscript of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" some time ago, but she was so busy that she forgot to read it.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Dening told the truth: "Yu Mo, I was a little busy and didn't have time to read the manuscript you gave me."
"I'll look back at this."
"Even if I can't catch up with this issue, it won't be too late for the next one!"
Shen Yumo was originally planning to debate with Zhang Dening about the merits of the manuscript "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even read it! Moreover, the other party's reasons seemed to be justified. After all, there were only a few people in their editorial department, so it was normal to be busy.
"Teacher Zhang, I think you should take a look at it as soon as possible."
"If you really don't have time, I'll go find Teacher Zou."
"I think this manuscript should not be delayed."
Shen Yumo's insistence left Zhang Dening speechless.
This young girl, how could she be so stubborn! When I first entered society, I didn't seem to have the energy she has now.
Well, I just finished my work, so I told her why I don’t use this manuscript now.
"Yumo, I'll take a look at it right away. Let's talk about the manuscript you mentioned later."
While Zhang Dening was speaking, he found the article "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" on his desk.
Looking at the vigorous and graceful running script, Zhang Dening felt more favorable towards the author.
Apart from anything else, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, which is really good.
Xu Lingyun, this is an unfamiliar name.
As an editor, Zhang Dening has some understanding of some famous authors.
She didn't remember seeing Xu Lingyun's work.
But after she quickly flipped through two pages of the manuscript, she slowed down.
The male protagonist, who was born unlucky, firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, happiness would knock on his door.
This kind of firm belief, coupled with the changes of fate...
The protagonist's efforts have brought him the girl who likes him, the life he expects, and the happiness he expects! Cheng Xuyuan's novel combines the persistence of pursuing happiness in When Happiness Knocks on the Door with the background of the movie version of The Wrangler.
Not only does it bear the imprint of the times, but the whole article also expresses a positive spirit.
A spirit of persistent pursuit of happiness.
After turning the last page, Zhang Dening felt his heart was deeply shocked.
She wanted to stand up, but in the end, she started to read the manuscript again.
This is a novel of more than 20,000 words, which can be read through in just over ten minutes for an experienced editor.
But the second time, Zhang Dening watched it for half an hour.
She hoped to find some places to modify, but after reading it, she felt that every word seemed to have been carefully crafted, every sentence was just right, and everything was good.
He placed the manuscript on his desk, looked at the catalog of the next issue of works at his side, and made a decision in his mind.
Although Shen Yumo was a bit rash just now, she was right in saying one thing, which is that such a good manuscript should not be delayed.
"Yu Mo, 'The Pursuit of Happiness' is indeed a high-quality manuscript." Zhang Dening came to Shen Yu Mo and said solemnly.
“I watched it twice, it was very good.”
Shen Yumo was not surprised that Zhang Dening agreed with her opinion. She was not confident in herself, but in the novel "The Pursuit of Happyness".
“I was really negligent about this manuscript.”
Shen Yumo said: "Teacher Zhang, this manuscript has deeply touched me, so I really hope that more people like me can see this work as soon as possible."
"My attitude just now was a bit too reckless, please forgive me."
"What's the point of forgiving or not forgiving?" Zhang Dening patted Shen Yumo's shoulder and said, "Let's go find Teacher Zou and ask her to take a look at this manuscript."
"Can you please make an exception and let this article be published first?"
“I also hope that more people can see it as soon as possible.”
Shen Yumo felt a little uneasy when he heard Zhang Dening say this, "Teacher Zhang, has this happened in our magazine before?"
Zhang Dening said: "Never before."
"Because Mr. Zou can't decide on this matter himself."
