My boss betrayed me

"Investment?" Li Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Your euphemistic explanation is good. It will be easier for others to accept."

"Poverty breeds evil, while wealth breeds conscience."

"With my meager income, if I just work part-time, I will have no future in my life."

"I'm still a little scared. You'll regret your decision today." Xia Muchu said seriously, "If everyone keeps being so impetuous."

“I really don’t know whether this is the sadness of the times or the glory of the times.”

Li Yichen asked: "Indeed, people nowadays are very impetuous. If you let Nangong Yue write a book in such an environment, will he be able to have a future in the literary world?"

"I hope Nangong Yue will always be herself and not follow the crowd." Xia Muchu sighed, "He has read so many 'sage books', he must be a gentleman."

"Before, teachers always taught us to apply what we learned, but now what we learned is of little use."

"The drawbacks brought about by social progress and the rapid development of science." Li Yichen said earnestly.

After chatting with Li Yichen for a long time, Xia Muchu looked at the time and felt that it was time to leave.

He went to the train station as planned, ready to buy a train ticket to Shengjing.

The train station is still crowded with people from all over the world. There are always people queuing at the ticket window, and occasionally you can see some people selling scalper tickets.

In this age of mobile payments and online train ticket purchases, it is rare to see people scalping tickets.

Xia Muchu was in a hurry and paid double the price to buy a train ticket to Shengjing.

People who scalp tickets have very wide networks of contacts. As long as you are willing to pay, theoretically there is no ticket that you cannot get.

Xia Muchu came to the taxi pickup area and chose a taxi that looked relatively new.

He sat in the passenger seat and asked the driver to take him to see the land of the dragon bone pile. Xia Muchu liked this piece of land.

Then Xia Muchu continued to think about his plan in his mind.

The piece of land that Xia Muchu liked had a very good geographical location. Xia Muchu and Li Yichen used to come here often to play.

But before that, Xia Muchu needed to eat something, so he asked the driver where the food was delicious.

The driver took Xia Muchu to a noodle shop that specialized in selling noodles.

This noodle shop was introduced by the driver, who said he had not eaten yet and went to queue up with Xia Muchu.

This noodle shop is doing very good business, with crowds of people, comparable to the waiting hall.

There is also a rule that drinking and eating fried dishes are not allowed, only noodles are allowed. Because business is so good, they need to make room for people in need to eat noodles.

This is the first time Xia Muchu has seen such a noodle shop in his life. There are thousands of noodle shops in Longgudui, but only this one is so special.

Xia Muchu and the driver waited in line for a long time before they could eat noodles. Perhaps because of his curiosity about the noodle shop, Xia Muchu did not get annoyed even though he had to wait in line for a long time.

After quickly finishing the noodles, the two left the noodle shop. Today's bowl of noodles was the most delicious noodles Xia Muchu had ever eaten in his life. No wonder the restaurant dared to set so many rules.

Afterwards, the driver took Xia Muchu for a stroll nearby.

Under Xia Muchu's guidance, the taxi circled around the land.

Then he circled the land several times, gradually expanding the radius.

Xia Muchu asked the driver to stop the car, then smoked on the side of the road, as if he had thought of something.

After finishing his cigarette, Xia Muchu got back into the car and said to the driver, "Please follow the previous route and go back one more time."

Xia Muchu wanted to confirm his thoughts from the bottom of his heart. Although he was not sure yet, his thoughts gradually took shape as time went by.

Xia Muchu met Li Yichen in Longgudui. They went to school and worked here together for more than ten years and had feelings for this city.

And all signs indicate that Wang Long and Zhang San want to do business with Xia Muchu again.

Then he had to pay attention to the activities of these two people, because they were also part of his plan.

By the time Xia Muchu took a taxi back to the waiting hall, there were only 15 minutes left before driving. He is truly a master of time management.

Xia Muchu slept on the train for a night and arrived in Shengjing the next morning.

Before getting off the bus, Xia Muchu took out his toiletries from his luggage and started washing.

Then I walked out of the Shengjing Railway Station exit and took a taxi to a museum.

This museum in Shengjing is quite famous in the whole Longteng Kingdom. After Xia Muchu paid the taxi fare.

He took out the notebook he often used and took a look at it.

Then we walked towards the museum, where there was a gold medal editor who, although retired, was still well-known in the industry.

Xia Muchu walked into the museum and found the person he was looking for inside the museum. Then Xia Muchu walked over and said hello.

"Hello, are you Mr. Su?" Xia Muchu asked.

"Hello, this is me. What can I do for you?" Su Lundao replied.

"Hello, Mr. Su, my name is Xia Muchu, and I've heard a lot about you." Xia Muchu said.

"I didn't expect that someone still remembers me." Su Lundao said.

Afterwards, Su Lundao brought Xia Muchu to his office. Looking at the size of the office, one could tell that the editor in front of him had a high status here. "

Because it is different from the small cubicles of those small editors, this place seems very quiet and grand.

Su Lundao is a little old and thin, but he is very famous.

Xia Muchu said straight to the point: "I came to Shengjing from Menfengkou specifically to ask you to look at a manuscript. The author of this novel didn't dare to come because it was her first time writing a novel."

"I don't dare to come to visit an editor as famous as you in the industry."

“I’m worried that my work won’t be acceptable to you.”

"She was very worried that her manuscript would not meet the requirements and would be rejected."

Su Lundao glanced at Xia Muchu and found from his eyes that the person who came to see him was not simple.

So he said, "Mr. Xia, please sit down and close the door. I'll make you some tea."

"You are the first person to come to see me since I came to this museum to retire."

Xia Muchu closed the door, sat down opposite Su Lundao, and took out the manuscript of his novel.

Said: "This manuscript is more than 30 words, describing a novel about cultivating immortals. The author will not publish it in Shengjing."

"I just want to hear the opinions of an authority."

"Because only after the estimates by industry authorities and your review can we find the best way to deal with it."

"In the literary world, there is a saying that depends on the payment for the article. If you are willing to help, please tell me your conditions. This is a private matter and will be paid."

Su Lundao asked: "Mr. Xia, you want me to comment on this manuscript, right?"

Xia Muchu shook his head and said, "You don't have to make any suggestions, just give some pointers."

"Because the author of this book focuses on content, not form."

Su Lundao was silent for a while, then said, "Since you don't plan to publish it here in Shengjing, it's a purely private matter. I can help."

"As for the manuscript fee you mentioned, I think it's up to you to decide."
