1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 102 No, Lao Liu, you guys won’t release the atomic bomb in October? (asking for monthly votes)
Oh shit!

Zhang Guangnian, the editor-in-chief of People's Literature, was still eating melons nearby and didn't take it seriously. When he heard Mr. Wu say that October was not good and that he should take over People's Literature!
He jumped up from the sofa in an instant and rushed to express his opinion, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, we at People's Literature have been working overtime all night and will be able to publish a sample issue tonight. We will send it to you for review tomorrow morning and make sure it is published the day after tomorrow morning!"

There is such a good thing. Zhang Guangnian’s excited face is really amazing!

Isn't this like a big pie suddenly falling from the sky and hitting him on the head?

"As for the royalties for Comrade Xuemin, I will remit them to Lao Liu as soon as I get back!"

Isn't it just a little bit of royalties?

How can they not afford to publish in People's Literature? I will send the money to Lao Liu as soon as I get back!

"Lao Zhang, you really can't steal my manuscript like this! I, I, I...we will do this in October...I will obey the organization's arrangements!"

Originally, Liu Xinwu wanted to fight for it. Why was the influence of their "October" not as good as that of his "People's Literature"?

But if you think about it, there is really no comparison!
But Mr. Wu really wouldn’t play it like that. The author of “The Horse Shepherd,” Lao Xu, was found by their “October” magazine with great difficulty!
The manuscript in my hand has already been scheduled for their October issue, but when it really comes time to publish it, will it be published in People's Literature instead?

Don't be such a bully!

Liu Xinwu couldn't go back to explain to Teacher Gu and all the staff of October.

How to explain?

Just say that Liu Xinwu came over for a meeting and threw away all the atomic bombs in his house?

Seeing that Mr. Wu's expression was solemn and did not seem like he was joking, Liu Xinwu did not dare to act presumptuously. He could only stand at attention and accept the organization's arrangements.

What could they do if they didn’t accept it? Mr. Wu didn’t discuss it with them. Instead, he gave instructions directly to October and People’s Literature.

"I know your awareness, Xiao Liu!" Mr. Wu nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Go back and work hard, and try to increase the influence of October!"

“After the New Year!”

"After the New Year and the beginning of spring, Xiao Liu, submit the materials for your bimonthly magazine October to apply for a monthly publication. The most important thing is influence. Can you work harder?"

I stole a manuscript from Liu Xinwu's October magazine, so as an old leader I must compensate him in some way.

Changing from bimonthly to monthly is Mr. Wu’s current verbal compensation!
Whether it can really turn around after the New Year will depend on its strength and influence.

"Okay, okay! With your words, old leader, I will definitely do a good job in Mr. Gu's ideological work and provide logistical support for Comrade Xuemin!"

When Liu Xinwu heard Mr. Wu's verbal promise, his face, which had been as pale as death, instantly became energetic and he made promises repeatedly!

"Well, that's great! Xiao Cheng's logistical support work really needs to be done well!"

Mr. Wu nodded, then reacted and asked, "What's going on with this Teacher Gu?"

can not tell!

Mr. Wu is also very good at gossiping, which is why Liu Xinwu specifically emphasized and mentioned Teacher Gu, and Mr. Wu had no choice but to ask!

"Is such that……"

Liu Xinwu wanted to explain, but Ding Ling beside him was amused and quickly helped him out, "Mr. Wu, you really stole Teacher Gu's heart. Xuemin will have a hard time explaining himself when he returns home!"

Really, Ding Ling still didn’t know that Mr. Wu would actually do such a thing!
Ding Ling was really amused by what he heard!

"Okay! Ding Ling, tell me, what's wrong with you, Xiao Cheng? Isn't it easy for him to go home and report to you?"

Old Wu was also confused by the two people singing the same tune!
I am really curious. It is just asking Liu Xinwu to make some sacrifices and publish it in People's Literature. How does it have anything to do with this Mr. Gu?
And who is this Teacher Gu?

"Xuemin, come and talk to Mr. Wu yourself!"

Ding Ling was not afraid of trouble and asked Cheng Xuemin to talk to Mr. Wu himself!

It was also at this moment that Cheng Xuemin came to his senses! In his mind, the same thought flashed through his mind!

Why did it suddenly change to "People's Literature"?

Old Liu didn't mention his mother-in-law, and Cheng Xuemin didn't react for a moment. He felt that it was very unexpected that Old Wu did not play by the rules!

But when Liu Xinwu mentioned his mother-in-law, Cheng Xuemin also felt overwhelmed. He was doomed!
If he goes back, how will he explain to his mother-in-law?

We had agreed to give the manuscript to my mother-in-law's October magazine, but Mr. Wu intervened and asked her to publish it in People's Literature instead. What should I do?
You have to know that neither his mother-in-law nor Old Liu in front of him should be too arrogant about his manuscript.

At the symposium the day before yesterday, Lao Liu managed to regain his position!
Just wait for their "October" to be published and then drop the "atomic bomb" to blind everyone's eyes.

But now the atomic bomb belongs to People's Literature?

"Xuemin, I'm calling you to speak!"

Seeing that Cheng Xuemin was still in a daze, Ding Ling added another sentence to urge him.

"Ah! Oh!"

"Mr. Wu, Teacher Gu is my mother-in-law. She is the editor-in-chief of October and is considered my responsible editor!"

Cheng Xuemin answered concisely and without any exaggeration!
"Mr. Wu, yes! Mr. Gu is the editor-in-chief of our October magazine and the editor-in-charge of Xuemin!"

"That's the guy who came with me last time!"

"This manuscript...Teacher Gu attaches great importance to it!"

Liu Xinwu also quickly added that he hoped that Cheng Xuemin would return the manuscript to October because he would not be able to report to his mother-in-law.

"What?! The female comrade who came last time was your mother-in-law, Xiao Cheng?"

After hearing what Cheng Xuemin said, Mr. Wu was so dumbfounded that he exclaimed, "Did he steal the manuscript from the mother-in-law of this young comrade Cheng Xuemin?"

No wonder Comrade Cheng Xuemin was so frightened that he couldn't recover for a long time.

This is really troublesome!

"Mr. Wu is Xuemin's mother-in-law! Teacher Gu has been in charge of this manuscript from the beginning to the end!" "Just give it to Lao Zhang now. I... I... Xuemin and I can't explain to her!"

It was Old Liu who had to play the role of a pity and a good boy. He was familiar with this job and must have done it a lot. After all, the crying child gets the milk, and Old Liu knew this well.

"You little Liu!"

Mr. Mao, who had been watching the show on the side, saw Old Wu turning his gaze towards him. He knew it was his turn to say something and express his opinion!

He smiled and said to Liu Xinwu, "I won't make it difficult for you. When you go back, just tell Xiao Gu that this is the unanimous opinion of me and Old Wu!"

"If she really wants to have any emotions, she can come to me, an old guy!"

As a leading figure in the literary world, Mr. Mao’s words are definitely beyond doubt!
Today, the old leaders came out and gave special instructions to their cultural department. They cannot let their important cultural affairs be ruined just because of a mother-in-law!
Besides, Xiao Gu is also an important member of the cultural circle. Mr. Mao believes that his mother-in-law should be aware of this and will not get upset because of a manuscript and embarrass her son-in-law.

"Ah?! No, no, no, no, Mr. Mao and Mr. Wu, we at October will obey the organization's arrangements and will not complain or get upset!"

Liu Xinwu knew that he was being a bit too arrogant. What Mr. Mao said was very serious. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he quickly expressed his opinion. Then he just shut up without saying another word!

Zhang Guangnian, who was standing next to him, was so upset that he felt so happy!

"it is good!"

Suddenly, the brief silence in the office was broken by Ba Lao's cheers!
"Mr. Ba, do you also think that Xuemin's article is well written?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Ba Lao again, and Wu Lao asked with a smile.

"Old Wu, you are really amazing! You got this manuscript so quickly!?"

"I got it, I got it! With this manuscript leading the charge, we will know how to follow suit!"

Mr. Ba nodded repeatedly, saying that this manuscript was indeed fully in line with the core theme of the spirit of this meeting.

Old Wu fired the first shot with this article!
His vision is really sharp, fast, ruthless and accurate!
"Since you, Mr. Ba, have said yes, then it's settled!" Mr. Wu nodded, then looked at Zhang Guangnian and said, "Mr. Zhang, then you should publish a sample issue of People's Literature as soon as possible. This pioneering first shot must be fired beautifully!"

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Zhang Guangnian of People's Literature suddenly stood up, stood up respectfully and shouted!
Mr. Wu nodded, looked at Cheng Xuemin again, and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, keep up the good work and try to give your mother-in-law another manuscript before the publication next month!"

"Yes, Mr. Wu. I will try my best!" Cheng Xuemin expressed his opinion, thinking that this was the only way.

After some more communication, it was getting dark and Mr. Wu did not invite anyone to stay for dinner, so the meeting ended!
"Dad, Teacher Li, you guys haven't left yet!?"

When I came out, I saw Feng's father and Li Qingquan from Yenching Literature were waiting there and had not left!

Cheng Xuemin hurried forward and greeted!

"Xuemin, what good news is that?"

Li Qingquan asked impatiently when he saw someone coming out. He also saw Liu Xinwu with a bitter face and Zhang Guangnian with an excited face behind him, and asked in confusion, "Old Zhang, what's wrong with Old Liu? Why is he so bitter? Old Wu doesn't allow him to release the atomic bomb?"

The reason why Liu Xinwu and Cheng Xuemin from October were kept behind must be related to their atomic bomb.

Mr. Wu should be telling them how to release the atomic bomb!
Seeing Old Liu’s bitter face, Li Qingquan hesitated again. Could it be that Old Wu would not let him go again?

If he really wasn't released, then... Li Qingquan's face wouldn't be much better either.

but!

I would rather die than let my friend die. If Old Wu doesn't let Old Liu release the atomic bomb, then Li Qingquan will have to be happy!
Who asked Old Liu to be so proud in front of me?
Especially the symposium the day before yesterday, Li Qingquan even suspected that it was organized for him, Liu Xinwu, as he stole all the limelight.

"Well..." After leaving the leader's office, Zhang Guangnian felt a little sorry for Liu Xinwu. Facing Li Qingquan's question, he couldn't say that the atomic bomb must be dropped, but he just changed from Lao Liu's "October" to his "People's Literature"!

Zhang Guangnian was about to say something, but he swallowed it back, patted Lao Liu on the shoulder, and said soothingly, "Lao Liu, don't say any more, I'll treat you to dinner later!"

"Old Feng, Old Li, I have received an urgent task from Old Wu. Now I have to go back and arrange the personnel and work!"

"I won't say any more to you. Just drive slowly on the road. Now let's go!"

"By the way, Xuemin, remember to come to our People's Literature tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for you!"

After saying this, he quickly left. The manuscript in his briefcase made him walk carefully!

again!

Liu Xinwu, who originally had a bitter face, heard that Zhang Guangnian was so dishonest and took advantage of him, so he wanted to treat him to a meal! ?

Isn't this Li Qingquan's old lyrics? Why is he repeating it to him again?
He shouted at Zhang Guangnian's back: "Who cares about your food? I... am not feeling well. I am leaving!"

He didn't even bother to say hello to Feng's father and Li Qingquan, because he knew that if Li Qingquan knew that his, Liu Xinwu's manuscript had been stolen again, he would be so happy about it that he would be gloating over it!
Just turn a blind eye and walk away!

"Xuemin, what's going on?"

Li Qingquan was confused by the two of them one after another, even Feng's father asked Cheng Xuemin in confusion!
"The manuscript has been given to Teacher Zhang's People's Literature. Mr. Wu and Mr. Mao feel that October doesn't have enough influence and are afraid that it won't be able to make the first move!"

Cheng Xuemin tried his best to restrain his smile and spoke concisely!
"What? You gave your atomic bomb to People's Literature?"

"Old Liu was pried open again?"

As expected, Li Qingquan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he was so happy that he slapped his thigh and jumped up!

No wonder Lao Zhang's words "I'll treat you to dinner later" made Lao Liu collapse and go crazy on the spot!

"No, Lao Liu, wait for me!"

"Old Feng Xuemin, see you later. I have to go and comfort Old Liu!"

But looking at his old face that was broken with laughter, it didn't seem like he was chasing after Lao Liu to comfort him.
