Chapter 113 A bit strong
Chapter 113 A bit strong
"Mengya" is qualified to be proud of itself in the domestic magazine industry. It was founded in the 50s and even established the domestically renowned "New Concept Composition Competition".
However impressive the resume is, it cannot be the reason for the editor Qi Bian to be arrogant towards the author. Having been in Mengya for a long time, he equates the reputation of the magazine with his own ability.
What’s the difference between this and working as a salesgirl or salesman in a luxury store and thinking that you are superior to others?
"Why are you rushing me?" Qi Bian frowned. Who is not an experienced author who sent the private email to him? Stories should be read one by one. Why are you rushing me? He is not sensible at all.
[The story logic is not very strong, please pay more attention to the logic of the characters. Teacher Gu Lu, please revise it again. I look forward to your next manuscript.] Qi Bian's reply was quite polite. He has not been fired from "Mengya" until today, so he must have something.
In fact, Qi Bian didn't even look at the two stories Lu submitted. He just wanted to torture the author and asked him to revise the manuscript twice before approving it.
However, Qi Bian, the editor-in-charge, also knows that the stories most writers write the first time are the best.
"Let me let you revise it twice." Qi Bian thought, he also didn't want to miss a good manuscript.
It was already around 11pm when he got a reply from Qi Bian, the editor-in-charge of Sprout. Gu Lu put down his phone after chatting with his sister at around 10pm.
Current mobile phones don’t have any fun games or TikTok, but Gu Lu can still beat them!
In the past, I used to watch Tik Tok, which was a way to kill time, but the more I watched, the more anxious I became. However, reading a book requires courage to open it, but I don’t feel anxious.
Thursday, October 2012, 10. Be careful not to be stubborn even when you are dead. It is better not to fight back when you are beaten or scolded.
Because No. 8 Middle School is holding a parents' meeting for senior high school students today, the classroom is reserved for parents and teachers for two classes in the afternoon.
"Mom, you're late. The event is about to start." Qi Caiwei said anxiously.
"There's a traffic jam on the road, and there's a lot of things going on at the dance troupe. It's okay, we'll make it in time." Mother Qi explained.
Qi Caiwei didn't want to hear this either, so she led her mother into the classroom. When she opened the door, she saw a mess of students and parents mixed together. She took her mother to her seat and left the classroom, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure as she left.
Among the parents in the classroom, Qi's mother stands out because she started dancing at a very young age and achieved some success, becoming a provincial-level dancer. Even though she is 42 years old this year, her skin looks quite young.
However, this time everyone's attention was more focused on Gu Lu. Mother Qi looked at the student who was standing upright beside her.
"Are you Caiwei's deskmate?" Mother Qi started by asking a question she knew the answer to, and then asked the real question, "Don't parents have time? Even if they don't have time, they should still come to the parent-teacher conference."
Although everyone is curious, Gu Lu also felt that Qi Caiwei's mother was a bit overbearing since she asked too many questions when they first met.
"Yes, we just changed our seats after the monthly exam. Qi Caiwei and I sit at the same table." Gu Lu responded.
It seemed like a response, but it also seemed like no answer. Qi's mother didn't ask any more questions, and she muttered to herself that it was really difficult to communicate with young people nowadays.
The attire of parents attending parent-teacher conferences can generally reveal the family background of their children.
Some parents are dressed in suits and look like successful people; some parents are dressed casually, and most of them are clean.
Not including - Dou's father. Because before he came to the parent-teacher conference, he had just been hanging on a high building to install an air conditioner for a customer. The window was limited and it was difficult to install. It took some time and he didn't have time to go home to change clothes. The stains on his work clothes and the sweat stains on his T-shirt were quite obvious.
"He has had a talent for sports since he was young, so he chose the path of track and field. I told him that he must run well and win honor for me." Dad of Lu Ping (Flat-headed Brother).
"The kid is hard to control when he grows up. If I say one thing, he will say ten things back to me." Zeng Jie (Zeng Haer)'s mother.
"He's just like his dad. He won't listen to anything I say." Li Guyuan's (Tangyuan) mother. "During the holidays, he plays on the computer at home and doesn't study. He doesn't take classes seriously at school." Wei Lili's (Zhenghuo Master) grandfather.
Parents were chatting in the classroom, and the density of "moms and dads" was too high. Gu Lu didn't have much in common with the parents around him. He didn't see anything in front of him, but he was listening carefully.
I don’t know why, but when most parents talk about their own children with another parent, they will first belittle them, even though the parents will obviously show off their children’s achievements.
When the school bell rang, the parents' voices gradually became lower. No matter how old their children are, the school bell is lethal.
Two minutes later, Teacher Gao walked into the classroom with a blue folder in his hand. He looked around and seemed quite satisfied.
The head teacher makes the phone calls himself to avoid having to ask grandparents to attend parent-teacher meetings. Communication must be practical.
Unless the parents can’t come, like Wei Lili.
"Here is a report card for our entire class." Teacher Gao took out a stack of printed report cards from a folder.
Send it down——
［卢艺：语文：138、英语：148、数学：150、化学：90、物理：100、历史：94、政治：93、地理：95，总分……］
Gu Lu took the call and took a look at the grades of the students he was interested in. The class monitor Lu Yi didn't seem to have a good memory. Apart from English, the other subjects that required memorization, such as chemistry, history, politics, and geography, were not top-notch.
"It seems that her good English skills may be due to family reasons? Her parents are junior high school English teachers." This is the information Gu Lu just obtained from listening to various sources.
After a while, every parent had a report card for each student in Class 10, and the tables were sorted according to the current desk positions.
"We arrange the seats based on the principle that classmates can help each other. Students who are good at science help those who are poor at science, and students who are good at liberal arts help those who are not good at liberal arts." Teacher Gao explained the reason for adjusting the class seats.
"I hope that the students can make progress together." Teacher Gao said, "If parents have any questions, please ask them now. Our main purpose today is to communicate."
"Teacher, is Ma Xuanyou naughty in class? Huang Lu has trouble concentrating." asked the female student's parent.
Teacher Gao said, "Student Ma Xuanyou, the class will not affect the classroom discipline, please rest assured, parents."
"That..." Zeng's mother also raised her hand.
Hmm? Teacher Gao frowned slightly. Are you still asking if your son Zeng Jie will be affected? She often gets a spike in blood pressure because of Zeng Jie's reply.
"Will Zeng Jie influence other students?" Zeng's mother said.
Very good, it’s my biological mother.
"Occasionally he is made to stand in the corner as punishment, but now he rarely affects class order," responded Teacher Gao.
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher." Zeng's mother said. She knew too well what kind of person her child was.
"Teacher, I have some opinions." Mother Qi raised her hand first, and then said to Gu Lu beside her, "First of all, I don't mean to target you, my classmate. It's just that this classmate Gu Lu's Chinese is not very good, and his other liberal arts scores are just above average, while my Caiwei's science scores are quite good. If we are talking about helping each other, shouldn't we also find someone of equal ability?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many parents in the classroom looked at the report card. This student was the only one who held a parent-teacher meeting for himself. He was quite weak in science and did not have any particular advantage in liberal arts.
On the contrary, Qi Caiwei is ranked seventh in the class!
