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

Chapter 26: Did you write this? My dull mind suddenly came to its senses (Please read on)
No. 51 Dongxinglong Street, Chongwenmenwai, is the office location of October magazine.

Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, parked her bicycle and saw their editor-in-chief, Liu Xinwu, from a distance. She greeted him and said, "Old Liu, good morning!"

"Good morning, Teacher Gu!" Liu Xinwu nodded to Feng's mother and politely replied. He also parked his bicycle and asked casually, "By the way, Teacher Gu, was your Jiayou's manuscript really rejected?!"

When the edition of this issue was officially finalized yesterday, Liu Xinwu asked Gu Xueqing if the manuscript of her Yanda top student had been revised yet? !
If he didn't revise it, he would miss the publication of this issue. But Feng's mother told him that it was rejected and he would not continue writing for the time being!

At that time, several of their colleagues who were optimistic about the outcome were all shocked.

You have to know that Gu Xueqing is well-known for her pride in her unit. Originally, the manuscript of her top-achieving daughter was almost acceptable.

It is because of her pride as a mother that she has high demands and must strive for perfection in everything she does and cannot allow outsiders to gossip about her using backdoors to get her manuscript published!

Really, it's not that exaggerated. In fact, it was able to pass. Although it is not an excellent level, it is definitely up to the passing line. After all, he is a top student from Yanda University, so how bad can his writing be?

But Gu Xueqing insisted on being strict and sent the manuscript back to her daughter to revise it.

With this change, there will really be no follow-up!

When I asked him about it yesterday, he just said he was killed! ?

It's dead!
A manuscript that was above the passing line and could actually be published was rejected just like that?
As the editor-in-chief, Liu Xinwu was so busy finalizing the manuscript yesterday that he had no time to ask about the situation in detail.

Don't say that the mother and daughter had a quarrel. They were just talking in anger, right? !

Liu Xinwu came back to his senses and asked again with concern to confirm.

"Kill it! She is totally not focused on this right now. The manuscript keeps getting worse and worse. I just killed it!" Feng's mother Gu Xueqing nodded. When it came to the debt collector in her family, she was really pissed off to death and didn't want to say more.

"That's a pity indeed!" Liu Xinwu followed into the office and continued to talk with Feng's mother. "In fact, sometimes, Teacher Gu, you can't be too harsh on Jiayou. After all, she just came back from northern Shaanxi, and this is her first time to submit an article to us. We should encourage her enthusiasm!"

“It’s a good thing to be too strict. I’m afraid it will backfire and make the children feel resistant. They may even think that our October submission requirements are too high, and they may be scared and not submit to our October submission, but to Yenching Literature instead!”

Liu Xinwu knew that Gu Xueqing's daughter, Feng Jiayou, had just been admitted to the Chinese Department of Yanjing University. If he set too strict requirements, it would not only scare her daughter, but also her classmates in the same department.

They are all from the Chinese Department, and are the reserve forces of these magazines. If they are really scared by their requirements for manuscripts, and if the news gets out, they will all run to Yenching Literature, and then it will be too late to cry.

"Huh?! Lao Liu...you're right!"

Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, was stunned. This was her immediate superior, otherwise she would have definitely said, "How dare she!"

But in fact!

The debt collector in her family had threatened to submit his article to Yenching Literature more than once or twice.

Maybe, as Lao Liu worried, the debt collector in her family would not dare to submit her manuscript to Yenching Literature without her knowledge, but her classmates would definitely be concerned about whether her manuscript was accepted?

You must know that her manuscript was rejected several times by their "October" magazine, and it just couldn't be passed no matter how many times it was revised. Would that have scared her away and made her submit to "Yenching Literature"?

Or even directly challenge People's Literature.

After all, among Yenching’s magazines, the national-level "People's Literature" is definitely far ahead, with the highest requirements for manuscripts. The next ones are the ministerial-level "Yenching Literature" and their "October"!

Like other influential magazines such as Youth and Contemporary, they are still in preparation for resumption of publication and have not yet resumed publication.

If you really look into it, the influence of their "October" is much less than that of "Yenching Literature".

However, if it is rumored that the requirements for manuscripts are higher than those of Yenching Literature, it will indeed have a certain impact on their manuscript acceptance.

After greeting her colleagues who had arrived earlier, Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, returned to her office, put her briefcase on the table and opened it, intending to take out the documents inside. She also took out the manuscript that her debt collector had given her today.

I didn't have much hope at first, but her wild husband said that it took him two nights to revise it, so I want to see what it looks like.

Looking at this way, more than half an hour has passed without realizing it!

"Die!"

Suddenly, Feng's mother, who was sitting quietly in her seat, jumped up and muttered something, which instantly attracted the attention of other colleagues in the editorial department, and they all looked at her in surprise!
"Teacher Gu, have you discovered another masterpiece?"

What their editorial department does is to review the submissions mailed in from all over the country and find the ones that can be used.

As the chief editor, Gu Xueqing is in charge of the review process!
Normally she was such a quiet and proud person, but suddenly she was screaming and mumbling in such an abnormal way. Obviously she had discovered something great, right? !
"I'll go find Lao Liu!"

Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, didn't bother to chat with her colleagues and quickly got up to find the editor-in-chief Liu Xinwu, who was in charge of the final review.

I’m going to die, that hateful debt collector at home!

When did it suddenly dawn on me!?
The manuscript was so well revised this time, why did you hide it and wait until she asked you to show it to you today? !
She was just telling Lao Liu that the manuscript had been rejected, but the debt collector turned around and sent her such a big satellite?

"Teacher Gu, what are you doing..."

Seeing Gu Xueqing rushing into his office, Liu Xinwu asked in confusion.

"Old Liu, take a look at this manuscript first!"

Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, directly slapped her daughter's masterpiece on Liu Xinwu's desk and said.

"There's a masterpiece?!"

Gu Xueqing's extraordinary reaction also made Liu Xinwu's eyes light up. This seemed like a masterpiece!

"Isn't this still the same article written by Jiayou?!"

But when he picked it up and took a look at the manuscript, he found that it was the manuscript written by her daughter. Wasn't it said that it had been rejected?

This...what is going on between these mother and daughter?
"It's her article. Old Liu, please help take a look!" Feng's mother, Gu Xueqing, nodded and motioned Liu Xinwu to continue reading.

Enlightened!

The debt collector at home really came to his senses overnight. He was able to make such a change, which elevated her rubbish manuscript to several levels!
"Okay!" Liu Xinwu said no more, just stood there and started to look back. His expression changed from confusion at first to more and more astonishment later, until he couldn't help but blurt out "Okay!"

"Old Liu, do you also think that this change of hers is good?!" After getting Liu Xinwu's approval, Feng's mother Gu Xueqing's eyes lit up, full of relief!
"Teacher Gu, Jiayou's revision is very good this time! The idea of ​​the manuscript has gone from just passing to excellent!" Liu Xinwu nodded repeatedly, and immediately picked up the pen on the table and wrote on the manuscript, "Approved, published in this issue!"

"Old Liu, the edition of this issue was finalized yesterday, and the royalties have all been mailed!" Feng's mother was pleased and happy to see Liu Xinwu finish the manuscript and publish it in this issue, but she also reminded him.

missed!
If the debt collector had taken out the manuscript yesterday, he would not have missed the publication of this issue!
"Take down my article and publish it later! We old folks should make room for the young people and give them more opportunities!"

Liu Xinwu said very readily again.

"Let her wait for the next issue! You have already finalized the draft!" Feng's mother Gu Xueqing said embarrassedly. No one can squeeze out the masterpiece written by the editor-in-chief!
"Let's just book this issue! I'm afraid if I don't publish it, all of her Chinese classmates will go to Yenching Literature!"
