Chapter 34 The man in the mud pit
In addition to exchanging opinions from a few people in this meal with the author circle, Yue Qingyan did know a lot of people. He is now a famous new best-selling author, and the number of single-item prints even exceeds that of old authors such as Miwu and Du Xiao. It is really no problem to say that he is in the limelight now.
But such an existence is a bit annoying for some young authors. The list of dinners in the author circle was not decided by Yue Qingyan himself. After all, except for a few people, he basically didn't know anyone. The number of phone numbers added to a meal was exchanged for more than in the past few months.
Even the invited young authors would be a bit chewy when they looked at the interactions between well-known authors such as Yue Qingyan, Mi Wu, Du Xiao, Ganxu, and Kaka, let alone those who were excluded.
A few days later, A Yue, the literary director of the company in Mingqian, heard some strange words circulating in the author circle from his friends:
Yue Qingyan has no ability, just the company in Mingqian is holding...
"Yinying" has no style in popular literature and science fiction novels. Yue Qingyan is willing to fall into depravity. He was beyond help before the Ming Dynasty, and he could do anything for sales...
Yue Qingyan came out through the essay competition, either to write online articles or to make more money...
A Yue is a very vigilant person. These strange words that were passed around immediately aroused his alert. The better thing is that everyone in the author circle is rules, and these words are just spread in some small groups and have not been circulated online to form a trend. Of course, A Yue speculated that it was because these people themselves had no appeal, and they were afraid that once they were online, they would be torn apart by the fans of "Yinying" gathered together in the feast.
But this sign is too bad. A Yue feels that he must do something, otherwise once these remarks ferment, it will not have a good impact on the company in the past Ming Dynasty.
"Do you want to notify Xiaoyue?" After the company's operation editor learned about this situation, he also notified Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying directly asked A Yue about this matter.
"Who made it?" A Yue asked.
"I asked the editors to study chat records in the author group to see who caused trouble first."
"Are the author of the essay contest?"
"Not necessarily, it may be the young people who have dealt with them before. Also, Jingzhe might have some influence on young authors." Xu Yingying's answer is fair. In the current situation, these strange words are circulating in the author circle, and it is difficult to really find out the culprit. No one is stupid. The original source must be the broken mouths when eating and drinking, and no one will admit it.
"Don't tell Xiaoyue. Now what Xiaoyue gives us are articles such as "Your Name", "Broken Soul Gun", "Red Rose and White Rose", "Broken Story Heart", "Legend of the Galaxy Hero", "Stories of Your Life", and "Eight Minutes of Warmth"?" A Yue thought for a while: "The Story of Your Life" and "Eight Minutes of Warmth" have not been published yet, right?"
"Yes, there is a public announcement on the competition page, but isn't the manuscript of the essay contest going to be compiled?"
"The collection of essays has been almost completed, and the book number process is in progress. In this way, the "Stories of Your Life" and "The Warmth of Eight Minutes" are serialized in two issues, and all the public accounts are posted. Find someone to write comments. Don't look for Miwu and Du Xiao, you can make an appointment with Shenxu. Then send "The Broken Soul Gun" and let Mr. Lian write comments. "Red Rose and White Rose" are serialized in four issues, and please ask Dong Shiqiu to write comments." A Yue said firmly: "In addition to the company's operation information, we will post his novel serialization."
"Is this... OK?" Xu Yingying was a little scared. The company's official accounts in Mingqian include Weibo, WeChat, and Zhihu.
"Our public account is very casual." A Yue snorted coldly: "It's just a statement. Don't write the pseudonym incorrectly. Two pseudonyms can confuse people who don't know the past, and it won't seem too abrupt."
"Just show it to those authors?" Xu Yingying understood the meaning: "That means we will support Xiao Yue to the end before Ming Dynasty, right?"
"This is one, and in addition, I will really feel the quality of his writing." A Yue said: "If you can't write it, shut up and go back to practice."
Even though they did not put any pressure on Yue Qingyan, they digested and expressed their support on their own, Yue Qingyan now has many friends.
Ka Ka almost immediately passed the news to Yue Qingyan. Ka Ka Ka is also a young author, and naturally she is in that circle, and she has a good status. After all, she is surrounded by elders. But when Ka Ka collects the news, she is much more serious. When she sees someone saying Yue Qingyan’s strange words, she will take screenshots all the way and collects every work that says strange words.
It took Ka Ka several days to sort it out clearly before she found Yue Qingyan to repay her merits. She printed out all the materials, put a whole schoolbag, and arrived at Yue Qingyan's house at the time she made an appointment.
But Yue Qingyan did reply to her with a helpless look:
“Isn’t it good if you have time to read a few more books?”
Ka Ka seemed very wronged. "I spent a lot of energy."
Yue Qingyan took some time to read what the people she collected and wrote. Then he said, "Well, don't talk much with those people."
"Ah? Are you still angry? Those people..."
"No, it's too bad." Yue Qingyan said: "Even if you have typos, I don't have a lot of them. If you don't perform proofreading, you will be cheated to death by using the current input method. But... it's really hard to describe it, and it's very inexplicable. It's still in the stage of natural writing."
The natural writing stage is a level that every author has to pass. Ka Ka understands this. Now that Yue Qingyan has carefully read all the things she has written and published so far, she still asks her if she is willing to learn it well, which means that there is still a way to save her. Yue Qingyan’s reason is very simple: Ka Ka has passed the natural writing stage. Although she is not well written, she has no problem with her stylistic consciousness. Once she points out the problem, she can adjust and modify it herself, and has strong reading ability.
"It's because of poor writing?" Ka Ka was stunned for a moment.
"Of course. The author likes to lead the war, which is a very strange thing. It is true that there is no first-rate article, but there are always first-rate second-rate third-rate ones. Let me say that I don't write well, at least half of the probability that I don't understand it, and my reading quality is not high. Isn't this a boast?"
Ka Ka nodded. She read every article written by Yue Qingyan, and was surprised, scared and envious. She couldn't write any article. The most typical feature of the author who has passed the natural writing stage is to see if other people's works can be written and how far they can be written. Ka Ka's reading ability was actually enhanced by Dong Shiqiu. Dong Shiqiu was amazed by the two articles "The Broken Soul Gun" and "Red Rose and White Rose", saying that this was simply amazing. During his peak period, there might be several articles that could be compared with "Red Rose and White Rose", but if you want to talk about "The Broken Soul Gun", you are really dumbfounded and dare not think about it. Ka Ka even dared not compare, and you didn't dare to.
"If the things they write are first-class and second-rate, whether they say I write well or badly, I will think about it. But as long as I write like this, I can't even understand the stylistic elements. What should I say? Isn't it good to read more books with this skill?" Yue Qingyan said calmly: "And what can I do? Why do I jump into the mud pit when I walk cleanly on the side of the road?"
Ka Ka thought about it and then thought about it, and thought that Yue Qingyan was pretending to be good.
At this time, the doorbell rang. It was Moersheng who came. When Yue Qingyan was at home and was not writing anything, she would ring the doorbell and let Yue Qingyan open the door. Seeing Kaka, Moersheng smiled and said, "Your point is here."
"I just arrived for a while." Ka Ka said with a smile. Ka Ka's emotional intelligence was very high. After Yue Qingyan agreed to give her advice, she first did not make an appointment with Yue Qingyan, but instead looked for Mo Ersheng and exchanged contact information, explaining that she wanted to learn to write things with Yue Qingyan. Moreover, she had already started calling Mo Ersheng "teacher-wife" behind her back.
Ka Ka is cute and sweet. If she is mixed with Yue Qingyan all day, even if Moersheng is completely relieved, she will inevitably feel unhappy. But Ka Ka has reduced her seniority and reported on her own initiative. Before coming today, Moersheng made a promise. If Moersheng doesn't come, she asked Yue Qingyan to go to a cafe outside. Moersheng likes such a sensible girl.
"Didn't you say there is another author recommended it?" Mooresheng asked, "Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know. It was recommended by Teacher Du Xiao and Teacher Du. It's a boy." Ka Ka said: "I haven't seen it before. But I arrived half an hour earlier this morning. What's that guy's pen name? Guan Xi?"
The doorbell rang again. This time the two of them came together, but it seemed like they were just right. Because one of them was Peng Jinkang, the other was Guan Xi recommended by Du Xiao.
Guan Xi was a little shy, and she introduced herself for a while and then stopped talking. However, Ka Ka pulled him to ask about the situation.
After seeing that they introduced, Peng Jinkang immediately interrupted.
"Old Yue... I heard that someone is hacking you?" Peng Jinkang said carelessly: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay... why are you here?" Yue Qingyan was a little confused.
Peng Jinkang asked a little embarrassedly: "I want to ask, before... in Xintiandi, a lot of what you said was actually slandering me, right?"
Mooresheng immediately covered his mouth and turned his face to the side. The situation that day was so funny. Although there were many opportunities to go out with Yue Qingyan to play "human observation and experiment", it was really such a funny joke.
Yue Qingyan held back his smile and asked, "Why did you come and ask this for so long?"
Peng Jinkang said embarrassedly: "Actually, I was suspicious soon. But you didn't come to the school and it was hard to ask you. I rushed over and asked now if I had something to do. I was afraid that you would cause any trouble. There were other aspects in the school. I could still help me. I would like to tell me why I discovered it..."
Peng Jinkang rolled his eyes, thought about it carefully, and said, "What you said then had a great impact on me, and I basically remembered it. Later, I was anxious to chat with people, and throwing out almost the same problem, which made people confused. Later, I changed some of the words and tried several times, and they were all... very powerful. Some people were so angry that they wanted to fight with me."
"This is really awesome. A person with a good temper is so crazy when I asked him." Peng Jinkang said: "I'm not stupid, so I naturally know that you used the trick to get me in."
Ka Ka was confused and asked quickly to pull Moersheng's sleeve. After Moersheng said a little simpler, Ka Ka Ka twitched his shoulders and leaned on the table.
"Sister-in-law, don't bring such a person." Peng Jinkang looked at Moore Sheng and said with clear eyes. "Stop talking, okay, it's so embarrassing."
Moersheng sprayed tea on the table. If he hadn't bowed his head, he would have sprayed it directly on Peng Jinkang's face.
"What are you calling me?" Mooresheng didn't react at all.
"It's very suitable for you to be with Lao Yue. Although I know he's messing with me, I'm right. I've been reflecting on it."
Ka Ka raised half of her face from her arms and muttered, "I used to call her Ersheng, but now the new one is better than the old one, so I call her sister-in-law."
Mooresheng turned his head and stared at Kaka. This girl's temperament is afraid that the world will not be in chaos, so she really needs to be treated well.
Ka Kao coughed twice and quickly sat upright.
"Then what are you going to do for me?" Yue Qingyan shook his head slightly: "You can't help with the hacking of me, forget it."
"Teach me. The language...or whatever else. The professor said I have no problem with my technical skills and my cultivation is very problematic. Among the people I know, you are the most powerful in this regard." Peng Jinkang said sincerely.
This was completely beyond Yue Qingyan's expectations. Look at Ka Ka, Guan Xi, and Peng Jinkang. He thought that he would bring one person anyway, and he would bring a group of people, so he nodded.
Peng Jinkang seemed to have thrown a three-pointer into the net in the midfield, jumped and swung his fist to express his excitement. Then he turned to Mooresheng and said, "Sister-in-law, please give me more advice in the future."
Ka Ka silently broke the situation again: "It's fun but sister-in-law...oh!"
