Chapter 238: One person attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven!
Chapter 238: One person attains the Tao, a chicken and a dog ascend to heaven!
Made an appointment with a reporter from the Literary Gazette.
At the same time, Gu Lu also declined Xiangchuan Society's invitation twice.
When signing the contract, "the author will do his best to cooperate with the book promotion in addition to his studies" was a special request from Gu Lu.
This was told to him by Lao Li, the editor of Story Club, because most contracts require the author to cooperate unconditionally in publicity.
"Come to think of it, I haven't chatted with Editor Li for a long time." Gu Lu found Lao Li's Penguin account and took the initiative to start a chat.
He is this kind of person who doesn't usually maintain friendships, but when he suddenly thinks of someone, he will take the initiative to chat.
It can be considered as "zombie-style dating".
After chatting for a while, Gu Lu learned that Lao Li was about to be promoted from deputy editor to chief editor.
"Congratulations, congratulations. With Editor Li's qualifications, I feel he should have been promoted a long time ago." Gu Lu chatted on the phone. Good news requires verbal congratulations.
"Hahaha, congratulations. I can get my promotion thanks to Teacher Gu." said Lao Li.
"Huh?" Gu Lu was confused.
"I haven't been in touch for a few months, but Teacher Gu has even been published in People's Literature," said Lao Li. "I am ashamed to say that the company has recently promoted me as an editor who discovers talented writers. I guess they attributed part of Teacher Gu's success to me, so I got promoted."
Gu Lu seriously suspected that Lao Li should have been promoted long ago, but was blocked from doing so because he had been introducing authors to other magazines for a long time.
And now with the gimmick of Gu Lu walking out of "Story Club", Lao Li was promoted.
"I was able to succeed because of Editor Li's help, whether it was the convenience in contract, quick review, or introducing me to other magazine channels," Gu Lu said. "All of these were very crucial helps."
Well, hearing what Gu Lu said, Lao Li was moved, but also a little embarrassed, "I just did what an editor should do, so I don't deserve this promotion, Teacher Li deserves it."
Junior high school teacher Li Riyao? Gu Lu asked hurriedly.
After all, Gu Lu was planning to go back to junior high school on Teacher's Day this year.
Then according to what Lao Li said, I learned that the editor-in-chief had previously requested to interview Teacher Li specifically. The Wudu Education Bureau awarded the Wudu (provincial) Outstanding Teacher title and even nominated him as an advanced worker in the national education system.
Because of its strong coverage, "Story Club" sometimes carries out some official propaganda tasks.
For example, in the past few years, it was very popular that if a city wanted to promote tourism, it would cooperate with "Story Club" and publish the "Essay Contest on Historical Stories of Thirteen Dynasties" in the April 07 issue.
It begins with a long article praising Chang'an's scenic spots, followed by the conditions for the essay submission. It is normal to go to such occasions.
Old Li went on to say that because of this kind of honor, No. 37 Middle School directly promoted Teacher Li to the head of the teaching and research group.
"Teacher Gu, if you can do something big this year, Teacher Li will really be able to be awarded as an advanced worker in the national education system next year." Old Li said.
“Then I’m really going to work hard.”
After chatting for a while, Gu Lu hung up the phone with a clear conscience. Well, today's communication task has been completed.
At the same time as hanging up the phone, he saw the invitation letter from President Yukou on his computer, once again inviting him to the book launch in Neon - this guy is really annoying.
Gu Lu was speechless.
Old Li on the other side put down his phone and muttered, "Does this count as one person's success bringing prosperity to the whole family?"
As a well-informed person in the industry, Lao Li was well-informed and naturally knew that Gu Lu's works were opening up overseas markets.
Hope it will work.
The influence of a writer who is famous in other countries and a writer who is only famous in his own country are at two different levels.
"I don't know if Teacher Gu can go that far." Lao Li continued to work. He is currently the person in charge of the red version.
After getting a promotion and a pay rise, Mr. Li began to work harder and squeeze himself out. The next day, the weather was good.
"It's hard to call Fog City a first-tier city. The tourist facilities are too poor. I went up to the third floor of this airport, but it's still the first floor?! With such a complicated terrain, can the guide signs be clearer?"
"Who told you that the fog is all over the place? And what's not clear? This is L1, this is B1, this is LG, this is M. What's not clear?"
The above conversation is from Mu Xue and her classmate Zhao Mingming.
"...Do you want to listen to what you are talking about?" Zhao Mingming was speechless.
"The floors in the foggy city are meaningless. Just look for a place where you can go out and get out." Mu Xue said.
Zhao Mingming asked, "What should I do if I take the wrong road?"
"If we don't go the wrong way, we won't be able to find the way, so does it matter whether we go the wrong way or not?" Mu Xue said.
What he said made a lot of sense. Zhao Mingming found herself speechless.
Finally, the two got into a taxi.
In Fog City, taxis are also called "tow-baby-car" and "antelope". The former comes from the red Otto in the 90s. Fog City loves to repeat words and pronounce "erhua", so it evolved into "tow-baby-car".
As for the Antelope, it also comes from a car brand. After the millennium, the fog turned into a green Antelope car, and the Avalon car also came from this.
Now in 2013, the green antelope has been changed to yellow, which is the yellow Ferrari of later generations.
"Can you succeed? I heard that many classmates have failed." Zhao Mingming took out his mobile phone and showed it to his companion. It was a text message.
[Chuncheng No. 3 Middle School refused to agree at all, even if I promised not to write bad information, they still refused. The school must have some tricks up their sleeves to make it so strict.]
"It's understandable that the school doesn't agree. After all, it's quite troublesome." Mu Xue said.
"I think so too. Erliang is just angry and confused. He applied to two schools and was rejected by both." Zhao Mingming said, "Xiaoxue, is the cousin you are looking for reliable?"
"What are you thinking? My cousin is just a high school student. How can you think a high school student can influence the school's decision?" Mu Xue said, "Just ask him to help introduce."
That’s right, Zhao Mingming nodded, then worriedly, “Then you…”
"Don't worry, I have a secret weapon!" Mu Xue was full of confidence.
What's the secret weapon? She is prepared to donate 100,000 yuan in exchange for the opportunity to investigate.
We can tell two things from the trump card Mu Xue prepared. First, her family is indeed rich, and second, her ideas are very naive...
The possibility of being rejected when visiting someone in person is very high, and this is similar in China and Japan.
"Teacher Miyazawa, are you in a good mood today?" Vice President Yukou came to visit again.
"The teacher is not at home today." The person who opened the door was Miyazawa's nanny Nana.
"Then when will you return?" Yukou smiled, "I can wait for Mr. Miyazawa to return..."
This blind man made Qiye so angry that he didn't even bother to save face and said directly, "As the president of a publishing house, why can't you understand? Don't you understand? Mr. Miyazawa doesn't want to see you."
Who is Mr. Miyazawa who can make the leader of Xiangchuan Society so humble?
His full name is Kenji Miyazawa. He is a famous fairy tale novelist in Japan. His representative works include "Crossing the Snowfield", "Night on the Galactic Railroad", "Cat Office", etc.
Because of his unique style, many of his works have been selected into primary, middle and high school textbooks. The Japanese literary world tends to deify him.
"Please help tell Mr. Miyazawa, Nanaya-san. I really have something urgent to visit you about." Yukou said.
Nanaba was unmoved, he had seen too many people like this who troubled Mr. Miyazawa with their problems.
"Please give this book to Mr. Miyazawa," Yukou had no choice but to take out the Japanese version of "The Little Prince".
He came here today just to ask Kenji Miyazawa to help him write the preface. If successful, it would be a great help!
