Chapter 54 Submission and meeting an acquaintance

When he arrived at the editorial department, Li Kang felt a little regretful.

Why do you have to come to the magazine headquarters to read the manuscript?

Wouldn't it be better to just email it directly?

Of course, the response time may be very long.

It can be as short as a week or as long as a month.

At this rate, my dad has already accepted it several times.

In two months, he has to earn as much money as possible.

No matter when, you will feel safe only when you have money in your hands.

Having nothing in his hands will only limit his performance.

"Meixia, there are a lot of people here, why don't you go to the cafe over there and sit down and drink some juice."

“It’s hot standing outside in line.”

Meixia shook her head like a rattle, "No, I want to go with you."

"But it's very hot now that you're sticking to me like this." Li Kang's arms were sweating from being grabbed by her.

This little girl hasn't felt it yet.

Meixia quickly let go of her hand, a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Brother Kang. Let me wipe the sweat off your face."

Holding a tissue in his hand, he wiped the sweat off Li Kang's forehead.

But why does the sweat get hotter the more I wipe it off?

Because when Meixia wiped his sweat, most of the little rabbit was exposed, how could he not be hot.

"No!" Li Kang couldn't bear it anymore.

I have to bear with the outfit I chose for Meixia.

"Meixia, go buy two iced drinks. It's no use just wiping the sweat off."

"I'll give you the money. Buy whatever you want to eat."

"Brother Kang, I still have some money on me. You can keep the money on you for now."

That’s great, I’m already thinking about him.

Li Kang was quite touched. "Then be careful, don't get abducted by human traffickers. You are so beautiful, you must pay attention to the vehicles on the road. Stay away from vans if you see them."

"It's easy for a group of people to get off the bus and kidnap beautiful young girls."

"I know." Lin Meixia skipped out like an elf.

Li Kang didn't look away until she entered the store. He continued to queue up among dozens of people waiting to see the editor.

Those queuing up are basically Shanghainese, college students, and retirees.

Only this group of people have time to queue up during the day.

They all dream of becoming famous with one book and living a life of fame and fortune.

The reality is that most people just try their luck.

"Your manuscript is not good. The writing is too poor. It's like an elementary school student's composition. I suggest you study it more."

"Editor, please take a look at mine. This manuscript of mine is about what happened in the Ming Dynasty."

Editor Zhu, just after taking a sip of water, the next manuscript was handed to him.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to read it. It's just that the theme of your manuscript is not suitable for our "Harvest". You can take a look at the excellent works in our previous issues. See what is written on them. Pay attention to the emotional tone. You can go and learn from "Scars"."

It is said that online novel authors like to follow the trend, but in fact, following the trend is also a very common thing in literary novels.

"Scars" became popular, and a large number of novels writing scar literature followed.

It can even be said to be a scar school.

The novel "To Live" is actually a representative work of the post-scar literature era.

A group of literary writers have been following the trend and creating scar literature for decades.

This led to readers born in the 1970s, 1980s, and even some 1990s.

Many of the works I have watched have left me with many regrets.

Some readers even felt traumatized after reading it.

As one of the four little beauties of the literary magazine, Harvest has very strict requirements for accepting manuscripts.

It’s difficult for newcomers to stand out.

But there is also an advantage, which is that they accept works regardless of the author's fame.

Just look at the strength of the author's work.

A famous author may be chatting with the editor-in-chief in the lounge right now.

The treatment is good here.

An unknown new author may just be reviewed by an ordinary editor, and then several editors will collect a bunch of their works and eliminate them again.

It's actually not very friendly to newcomers.

The reason why a famous writer is a famous writer is because he has strength.

How can newcomers compete with them?

Without the support of royalties, there is no way to support one’s literary career.

Therefore, many talented writers will submit their manuscripts to multiple publications. The best choice is to submit to People's Literature, which places more emphasis on cultivating new talents.

It will give newcomers a chance to come forward.

And once the manuscript is accepted, you will gain both fame and fortune.

As for "Contemporary" and "October", every newcomer who voted was killed.

"Your manuscript is pretty good. Leave it here for now and wait for further notice."

As for the editor, those who have passed the manuscript are still waiting for notification.

When the college students heard the news, they jumped for joy.

It means that his literary dream has hope.

If you can leave an impression in the eyes of the editor of "Harvest", your manuscript will be directly accepted by the lesser magazines such as "Huacheng".

Li Kang felt helpless.

"It seems that my initial thinking was wrong. If I want to make quick money, I can't invest in a magazine with such a big reputation."

But time did not allow him to take his time.

Dude wants to make fast money, big money.

In order to submit the manuscript today, he turned down an invitation from a company to be a simultaneous interpreter.

Now I feel a little regretful.

"Dangdang~"

"Can you please guess who I am?!"

A pair of cold, water-stained hands suddenly covered Li Kang's eyes from behind.

"Meixia, do I need to guess besides you?"

Li Kang grabbed Lin Meixia's hand and pulled her into his arms as if he was used to it.

But I feel that Meixia is a little heavier than before.

"why you?"

"Why can't it be me!" Ye Yuqing was still in Li Kang's arms at this moment.

Her cheeks were flushed and her white jade-like earlobes also turned red.

Li Kang asked why Meixia had gained a lot of weight.

It turns out to be the more developed Ye Yuqing.

He couldn't help but secretly admire Ye Yuqing's outfit today. The white skirt set off her plump and white thighs. Paired with a light-colored plaid shirt, she would turn people's heads wherever she went.

"Your university is not here, why are you here too?"

Ye Yuqing broke free from Li Kang's arms. Today she came here to accompany a foreign female tourist.

When I entered the coffee shop, I happened to see Meixia buying iced juice.

"Brother Kang, the juice was bought by Sister Yuqing."

Ye Yuqing rolled her eyes at him.

When she saw Meixia, she knew that Li Kang must be nearby.

"What about the foreign tourists you brought? Not following her?"

"Stop talking," Ye Yuqing said in distress, "That foreigner kept belittling us. He said we were not good here, not good there, the roads were messy, and the pedestrians had poor quality. Then he said all of us had poor quality. This was the first time I saw such an uncultured tourist. It broke my filter on foreigners."

"So you fired her?"

Ye Yuqing took a sip of juice and nodded.

Looking at the surrounding environment curiously.

She didn't expect that Li Kang would come to such a place.

"Why are you here?"

"Could it be your father?" Guessing this, Ye Yuqing became a little excited.

Although she doesn't pay attention to the Chinese literary world.

Those who study foreign languages ​​generally study foreign literature.

But it was also nice to meet someone from “Harvest.”

Sometimes, to see whether a man has potential, you can look at the places he hangs out.

You can’t see it in school, but once you leave school, the difference is huge.

Seeing her eyes shining, Li Kang said unhappily: "You are wrong. I am just an ordinary author who came here to submit an article."

"Submit an article? You don't want to submit one." Ye Yuqing leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Foreign literary works, right?"

At that time, there were not many studies on foreign literature in the mainland. Some countries' literary works were simply unheard of, but they were very famous in their local areas.

Some authors may plagiarize such works and publish them in the country as their own works.

"Of course not. I wrote it myself."

Ye Yuqing took the manuscript from Li Kang and started reading it herself.

Just now, I didn’t really care what good works a high school student could write.

However, as she read deeper, Ye Yuqing was unconsciously pulled into the world of a young boy by Li Kang.
