Chapter 181 Noji’s small tower, the secluded bamboo and the green trees(2/2)
?Little apprentice, you are still young!
Fang Hanlin said: "It's useless for you to ask me to be noble. Potential new authors appear and everyone wants to grab them. Besides, if I don't contact him, won't other magazines target him? Didn't you say that he knows Hao Chengliang too?
Why don’t you ask him to do something noble?”
Ji Shaofei was originally feeling bitter, regretting that he had exposed the news with his mouth. When he heard Fang Hanlin say this, he became happy again. He turned back to look at Hao Chengliang and said, "He? He doesn't need it. Editor Hao has already treated him with dignity."
Hao Chengliang looked at him with a grimace, muttered "Don't talk" in a low voice, and shook his head at him quickly and slightly, but Ji Shaofei still couldn't hold it in.
"Don't you know? This manuscript was originally submitted to him, but he rejected it!"
Fang Hanlin was stunned: "Is there still such a thing?"
"Well! If you ask him, the news has gone crazy within the editor. I just wanted to ask him about the details of this matter!"
Fang Hanlin turned to look at Hao Chengliang: "Really?"
What Hao Chengliang had been worried about for a long time finally happened. He forced out a smile, which was uglier than crying.
"Ahem...His manuscript was indeed submitted to me initially, but then I read the version he submitted to "Get", and it was different from the original version..."
Ji Shaofei slapped his thigh and immediately became happy: "You really quit? Hey, this is so exciting! Old Hao, you are so awesome!"
He fiercely gave Hao Chengliang a thumbs up, but Hao Chengliang felt that every time his thumb hit the bottom of his lungs, he was about to vomit.
Fang Hanlin frowned and said, "Are you more cautious about rejecting manuscripts now? How do you know it was him who rejected the manuscript? The author said it himself?"
He is an old editor and has thought more about it. If the author said it himself, it means that the author's character is a bit arrogant and will retaliate, making it difficult to cooperate in the future.
Ji Shaofei shook his head: "No, I heard it from Yang Yin. We have a small group. Yang Yin complained in the group that he lost a manuscript in his hand and it made the headlines of "Get", so we ran to read it.
"
Fang Hanlin asked: "Who is Yang Yin?"
"He is the editor of "Yangtze River"."
"Why is there something about "Yangtze River" again?"
Shi Tonghe sat aside and listened more and more something was wrong, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
"This manuscript was first submitted to "The Ancient City", but Editor Hao rejected it. Later, it was submitted to "The Yangtze River". Because "The Ancient City" was withdrawn, "Yangtze River" was also under pressure, so it was rejected. I didn't expect that "The Ancient City" would be rejected.
"There's no pressure to get it, I'll give it to you. Right, Editor Hao, that's what it's about, right?"
Hao Chengliang almost shrank into a ball, and muttered: "...changes, there are changes, the changes are quite big...the original version is not..."
After hearing this, Fang Hanlin was also happy. Everyone would be happy to hear about the rejection of an earth-shattering manuscript, especially if it was rejected by another editorial department.
Shi Tonghe interrupted them and said: "Who wrote this "Fire in the Stone" you are talking about? What is the author's name?"
"Call Wang Zixu."
Shi Tonghe suddenly turned around.
He looked at Hao Chengliang again in a daze, and found that the other person's eyes were as moist as a camel staring at him. When they looked at each other, he understood the other person's eyes - it turned out to be a look for help.
He didn't understand it before.
Shi Tonghe swallowed, sat up straight, and said, "I haven't even finished reading the work. Isn't it too early to say yes? Ji Shaofei, aren't you usually so lax in reviewing manuscripts?"
Suddenly being slapped with a label, Ji Shaofei lost most of his flames and said: "This, this work "Getting" has made headlines, it must be very..."
"If "Get" is published, that's the matter of "Get". Do you, professional editors, want to follow others' opinions? Isn't "Get" wrong?"
Fang Hanlin said thoughtfully at the side: "Xiao Ji is indeed a bit unreliable. To evaluate a work, you must look at it as a whole, at least after reading it. However, "Getting" is indeed rare in such a long series.
Sometimes..."
Shi Tonghe realized that he had gone too far, straightened himself up, and said: "I will also look for this work and have a look. I hope it will be as good as you said. Today's younger generation can write good works."
There are a lot of them, but the soil is different from what we had back then, and there are a lot of abnormalities, so it’s easy to be unsure of the general direction.”
Ji Shaofei looked at him, feeling a little cursed in his heart. He said that he had to watch it before he could evaluate it. This old guy made an evaluation before he even read it.
Shi Tonghe said to Hao Chengliang again: "Xiao Hao, you don't have to blame yourself. Rejection is the right of every editor. If you reject it, just reject it. Don't take it too seriously."
Hao Chengliang looked up at Shi Tonghe with gratitude, only to find that his eyes were cold, devoid of warmth, and even extremely cold. His scalp went numb and his heart skipped a beat.
Only then did he realize that Shi Tonghe's intention was not only to rescue him, but also to warn him not to lead him into the water.
At this time, there was a burst of human voices at the door. He looked towards the door and was shocked again: he saw two beauties entering the door one after another, and Wang Zixu exposed his majestic head at the door.
