Chapter 63: The Divine Text Posted to the Wrong Place
New Year's Day is approaching and the new issue of the magazine has started printing. As an editor of "Yenching Literature and Art", I start to relax at this time.
After all, nothing big happened before the New Year.
The next thing they do is to slack off.
Read a book, drink some tea, and occasionally look at some works of art, it’s all fine!
Zhang Dening sat at his desk, flipping through the first edition of the New Year's issue of "Yenching Literature and Art".
Although this issue will not be released until after the Chinese New Year, for editors like them, is there anything wrong with getting the printed sample in advance? Although I have read "The Pursuit of Happyness" several times, the feeling of reading the book in my hand is just different.
After reading the last page, she couldn't help but say to Shen Yumo who was sitting opposite her: "Xiao Shen, this "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is really well written."
"What on earth was going on in Xu Lingyun's head that he could write such a good work?"
Shen Yumo also held the latest edition of "Yanjing Literature and Art" in her hand, but she did not read "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Facing Zhang Dening's question, she calmed down and said calmly: "There are always some people who have talents in certain aspects that ordinary people can't reach."
"Didn't Editor Zou say that Xu Lingyun is such a person?"
Zhang Dening smiled and said, "That's true, but this guy seems a bit lazy."
"Take away the manuscript fee and the subsidy for editing the manuscript, and don't mention it anymore."
"Tsk tsk, if he falls into my hands next time, I will definitely not pay him so generously."
Shen Yumo knew that his master was joking, so he didn't say anything.
Zhang Dening continued, "Next time I see him, I have to urge him. Even though it's the New Year, he can't forget to write his novel!"
"After all, young people are about writing."
Just as the two were chatting, a chubby figure walked in.
It was Sister Chen who was in charge of logistics at the magazine. Although this sister was in charge of logistics, she was very important to Shen Yumo and others.
After all, all the wages and food coupons had to be obtained from this elder sister.
"Tomorrow is the city's art performance. We'll be given two tickets each, and we can bring our families." Sister Chen said this in a louder voice, "I heard from Mr. Feng, who is in charge of issuing tickets at the city cultural center, that there will be a good show this time."
“It would be a shame if we missed it.”
After hearing what Sister Chen said, Zhang Dening immediately became interested and asked, "Sister, have you heard about the show?"
"Old Feng didn't say it, but he said he watched it during the rehearsal and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop. Now, he's planning to watch it again!"
Sister Chen handed the mimeographed ticket on red paper to Zhang Dening and Shen Yumo, and said with a smile: "Although Lao Feng likes to brag a bit, he is quite reliable in some matters."
"You guys don't have anything to do anyway, why not go and take a look."
Shen Yumo took the ticket without saying anything, and Zhang Dening said, "Okay, just because you praised me like that, I'll go take a look."
"I seem to have heard that Elder Wan and the others will also be there!"
When Shen Yumo heard this, he also became interested. After all, this was Mr. Wan!
She had long heard of his name, but had never seen him.
It seems that my sister also wants to go and see it.
I wonder if the good program that Sister Chen mentioned is the one that I praised?
Just as all kinds of thoughts were surging in his mind, a man in his thirties knocked on the door and walked in excitedly.
"De Ning, I'm going to show you a masterpiece." The man came to Zhang Dening's desk and said with excitement in his voice.
In the editorial department, a situation often occurs where people will recommend good works to each other.
Seeing this person's excitement, Zhang Dening said happily: "Why, have you found a good manuscript?"
As an editor, the greatest joy is to find good manuscripts and publish them in magazines.
The visitor said, "That's not the case. I just found a good article. Take a look."
As he spoke, the man handed a magazine to Zhang Dening.
Zhang Dening glanced at the cover of the magazine and was stunned for a moment and said, "Old Du, are you kidding me?"
“Is this a history magazine?”
"You didn't take the wrong one."
Shen Yumo also saw the cover of the magazine and saw the words "Learn from History" written on it.
Seeing this situation, she also had a feeling that Teacher Du had taken the wrong magazine.
Although the chance of this happening is rare, Mr. Du is well-known in the magazine for his carelessness.
"I didn't get the wrong one. It's this magazine. Look at the last article, 'Things about the Ming Dynasty'. It's really well written."
"It's such a shame to publish it in this history magazine."
Although he was somewhat skeptical about Mr. Du's style of doing things, Zhang Dening still had great faith in his vision.
She immediately picked up the magazine and started reading it seriously.
"Things about the Ming Dynasty", Dangnian Mingyue.
Looking at the pen name, she suddenly said, "Someone said a few days ago that fewer people use pen names now."
"Our magazine has only encountered one Xu Lingyun recently, and there is one in this history magazine as well."
“How interesting!”
Lao Du said: "History magazines are basically papers about history, but I don't know what to attribute this article to."
"Hurry up and watch it. Let's discuss it after you finish watching it."
Zhang Dening stopped talking and looked at the magazine seriously.
As a literary young woman, Shen Yumo also appreciates good articles.
At this moment, she was extremely curious about this article.
What kind of articles should be published in this history magazine?
She carefully observed Zhang Dening's expression and saw that she was sometimes solemn and sometimes smiling. It was obvious that she was attracted by the content of the magazine.
"Why hasn't it been published yet? Zhu Yuanzhang's story has just begun."
Zhang Dening put down the magazine and asked Lao Du anxiously.
Lao Du chuckled and said, "Isn't there an introduction at the back? Will it be published slowly?"
"And I guess his article won't be short."
"It's called "Things About the Ming Dynasty". Now it only writes a little about Zhu Yuanzhang. I think he will write about other emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the future."
"For example, Emperor Yongle, Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Chongzhen..."
Zhang Dening put down the magazine in his hand and said, "I've read so little and you're not letting me read anymore. What a bummer."
Shen Yumo reached out and took the magazine. She opened the first page and saw some historical research introductions that gave her a headache, so she turned directly to the last article, "Things about the Ming Dynasty."
Looking at the author's name, this sounds more like the author's name than Xu Lingyun.
Then she couldn't help but keep reading.
We start with a dossier...
As Shen Yumo flipped through the magazine, she realized that she had reached the end. But what would Zhu Yuanzhang do next? She felt extremely anxious.
It's really annoying.
She looked up and wanted to look at Zhang Dening, but found that Zhang Dening had gone somewhere.
There was no choice but to put the magazine on the table and continue with her own work.
At the end of the get off work day, Zhang Dening hurried over and said, "Yumo, bring me that history magazine. I want to show it to my family. There are also exciting works in this magazine."
Shen Yumo looked at the anxious Zhang Dening and handed him the magazine on the table.
In fact, if Zhang Dening didn't come back, she was also going to take the magazine home and let her family take a good look at it.
