Chapter 99 The friend you mentioned...

After agreeing to go to Yanjing with Su Tong, Yu Dong originally said that he was going to buy a train ticket, but Su Tong told him no.

Su Tong said that he would help solve the ticket issue. As for how to solve it, Yu Dong didn't know, but since Su Tong said so, Yu Dong didn't worry anymore.

Not long after returning to the dormitory with the manuscript, Hu Changqing suddenly came to visit.

Seeing Hu Changqing, Yu Dong was stunned for a moment. Although they all lived in the same building, Hu Changqing usually didn't come to the dormitory to find him.So Yu Dong was a little surprised by his arrival.

And Hu Changqing also looked very strange. When he came in, he was obviously watching around, as if he wanted to do something that no one could know about.

"Secretary Hu, who are you?" Yu Dong couldn't help asking.

Hu Changqing looked sideways at Yudong's room for a while, then coughed lightly, and said, "It's nothing, I'll come and see you."

"Then I'll make you some tea."

"No, I just came here after drinking tea, and my stomach is full of water." Hu Changqing said with a smile, and then saw the manuscripts piled in the corner and asked, "Has Teacher Yu been writing any new works during this time?"

Hearing Hu Changqing say this, Yu Dong couldn't understand what he meant, so he said, "I'm preparing."

"Is it science fiction?" Hu Changqing asked in a low voice.

Yu Dong saw Hu Changqing's cautious look, and thought to himself that he had come to persuade himself not to write science fiction again?

It shouldn't be. Now both students and teachers in the school basically know that they are writing science fiction novels, and this is no secret.

And since knowing that he has made a lot of money because of science fiction, the attitude of the teachers has obviously changed.

Hu Changqing did persuade himself to keep quiet before, but now that the matter has been made public, he no longer needs to persuade himself in this way.

Yu Dong thought about it and said, "Science is also preparing."

"oh, I see."

Hu Changqing nodded and looked at Yudong's dormitory again. After a while, he took out a stack of manuscript papers folded together from his pocket, "Small, that's right, I have a friend who also Wrote a science fiction novel. He used to like reading science fiction novels very much, but this is the first time writing science fiction novels, and he has no experience, so I asked me to show it to you to help him read.”

Yu Dong took the manuscript from Hu Changqing's hand with a strange expression, "Secretary Hu, the friend you mentioned..."

"Ordinary friends, and I don't know you." Hu Changqing said immediately.

Seeing him like this, Yu Dong held back a smile and opened the manuscript.

There are not a few pages in total, it is a short story.

Yu Dong quickly read the manuscript again, and then looked at Hu Changqing a little unexpectedly, not to mention, although Lao Hu has a very awkward personality, this novel is well written.

The novel tells that there is an alien who can mimic the spaceship passing by the earth. Because the energy of the spaceship is exhausted, it has no choice but to land on the earth.

Because he landed in an uninhabited forest, the alien thought that the most advanced species in the world was a monkey, so he imitated a monkey and became a monkey. He wanted to lead the monkey to develop technology and strive for local technology. Raised to the point where it can power the ship.

In this way, about 50 years later, when the aliens were leading the well-trained monkeys to engage in engineering construction, they encountered human beings who came to explore.

These humans were particularly surprised to see a group of monkeys constructing fortifications in a decent manner, so they took pictures of them up close with their cameras.

Facing these humans who obviously have higher intelligence, the aliens suddenly realized that they had wasted more than 50 years in vain, and immediately felt sad and wailed in front of them in the form of a monkey.

This is not a very hard and grand science fiction novel, but it is quite interesting to read, and the aliens described in it use brainwave frequencies to communicate with monkeys and the shuttle shape of the spacecraft. It can also be seen that Hu Changqing is indeed there. Read science fiction.

Of course, this story cannot be further studied. According to the description in the novel, the humans that the aliens encountered later were obviously modern humans. In this case, it is impossible for the aliens not to find any traces of humans during the past 50 years.

But these are all minor details, and as a short story, it is already very qualified.

"Little, I... how is this friend's writing? Is there a chance to publish it in "Science Fiction World"?" Hu Changqing asked eagerly.

Yu Dong nodded and said with a smile: "I think it's pretty good, but can I pass the draft? I'm not the editor, so I can't give you an answer. I suggest you try to submit it, if you can pass, they will soon will give you an answer."

Hu Changqing thought for a while, and said, "I would do you a favor and vote for my friend."

Yu Dongwei asked, "I can help with this, but I can agree that even if I help you vote, the rate of submissions will not increase."

Hu Changqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my friend has never submitted a manuscript and has no experience."

"That's fine, I'll send it for you when you come back. But you need to keep your friend's information for a while. When you go back to the manuscript, you need to sign it when you publish it, and you need to remit the manuscript fee."

Hu Changqing pondered: "Remit the manuscript fee to me, can I use a pseudonym for the signature?"

"Okay, what is your friend's pen name?"

"I think about it." Hu Changqing scratched his head and thought for a while, and said, "His pen name is Fushui."

"Covering water that is hard to catch?"

Hu Changqing nodded, "That's right."

Yu Dong wrote down the two words Fushui, and then wrote Hu Changqing's information again. After confirming with Hu Changqing, he said to him, "Well, I'll send it to your friend later, and I'll let you know when there is news."

"Okay, okay, then I will trouble you about this." Hu Changqing said with a smile that he was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and told Yu Dong, "By the way, Xiao, please help keep this matter a secret, My friend doesn't really want people to know."

"Don't worry, Secretary Hu, I won't tell you."

……

After Hu Changqing left, Yu Dong still felt amused when he looked at the manuscript in his hand.The main reason is that Lao Hu's acting skills are too clumsy, and he almost couldn't hold back in the middle.

And look at the words on this manuscript, although Lao Hu deliberately wrote it neatly, but in some small places, his style can still be seen.Especially in the word "shi", he always wrote the radical as "cai" instead of "円".

This habit has never been corrected in the early days. After all, it is difficult to see if it is not very careful. Later, when someone sees it and mentions it to him, it will be difficult for him to change it.

"Old Hu, Lao Hu, when can we stop being so awkward."

Yu Dong shook his head and smiled, and put Hu Changqing's manuscript into the envelope.
