the longest dream

Chapter 10
Magic City, Zhangjiang District.

The editorial office of "The Collection of Legendary Martial Arts in Modern and Ancient Times".

Veteran editor-in-charge Li Wei looked at last month's sales and reader letter feedback record form, and couldn't help "tsk tsk" and said: "Xiao Zhao, this month's progress is probably you again, I want to treat you."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiang endured and endured, but she still couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth and smiled, she said repeatedly: "It must be, it's pure luck, I came across a good book. Jin Yong's writing is really fast and good, I'm so happy."

An old man next to him laughed and said: "Xiao Zhao, you are still young, and you don't understand the truth that it is not always good to be fast. It seems that you have not experienced true happiness yet."

There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the editorial room. Zhao Qiang could only swallow her anger for this kind of office harassment. She knew that she still made people jealous.

But she can't do anything about it, she's already low-key enough, she doesn't even put on makeup when she goes to work, and eating and dressing are simpler, but it still hinders people's eyes.

But Zhao Qiang never imagined that when she really made people jealous, it was just the beginning...

"Little Zhao."

The editor-in-chief Zheng Tianye appeared suddenly, and after dealing with a group of veterans saying hello, he looked at Zhao Qiang and said straight to the point: "The editor-in-chief just said hello, and the publishing house has passed the review. "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be released this month." The book has been published, and it happens to be [-] words in series. The feedback from the readers is so enthusiastic, and the replies from the gatekeeper are all in sacks. You should contact the author as soon as possible and sign the contract."

Zhao Qiang was stunned when she heard the words. Generally speaking, only martial arts masters or at least well-known martial arts writers can publish books.Most of these writers are in the hands of the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief. Among the eight editor-in-chief in the editorial office, only Li Wei and another old editor named Qiao Ming are in charge of a writer who can publish a book.

She never expected, in fact, secretly imagined that she could also master such an author.

"Editor-in-Chief, Xiao Zhao is young after all, why don't I come to help?"

Huang Chao, the old editor-in-chief who had spoken poorly just now, suddenly said enthusiastically.

Zhao Qiang's complexion changed when she heard the words, and she hurriedly said, "No need, I can do it. If you really don't think carefully, you can ask the editor-in-chief. If the editor-in-chief is too busy, there is Brother Li, who has been a book editor."

Huang Chao didn't expect that Zhao Qiang, who never dared to fight back like a cat, would show his minions and slap Li Wei in the face to make him unable to get down.

Zheng Tianye smiled, and said: "Old Huang, hurry up and review the manuscripts yourself, and try to get one out." Then he said to Zhao Qiang: "You contact the author as soon as possible."

Zhao Qiang asked anxiously, "Editor-in-Chief, how much is the royalty?"

Zheng Tianye said: "Newcomers usually have four to eight points, you can decide for yourself."

Zhao Qiang nodded and said, "I understand. Editor-in-Chief, Jin Yong hasn't left a call. I'm planning to go to Jiangjing City in person."

Zheng Tianye smiled and said: "Okay, it's good if you have the courage. You go and come back quickly, waiting for your good news. Also, pay attention to safety."

"Yes!"

……

No. [-] Middle School of Jiangjing City.

Between classes, on the playground.

Zhang Qing and Qi Juan, who had been working on the problems for a day, came out to get some air and walked along the track.

"I heard that you are here to settle Wang Lei and the others?"

Qi Juan asked with a smile.

Zhang Qing was surprised: "You know all about this?"

Qi Juan said with a smile: "The school is only a little bigger? But you really scared them."

Zhang Qing shook his head and smiled: "No, they actually know that I'm bluffing people, but they dare not bet. Because they always believe that their lives are more valuable than mine, and that's enough."

Qi Juan said with a smile: "It's not that they believe it, it's that you reminded them. Boys of this age are really angry, what can't they do? They don't dare to lead them in this direction. I Dad praises you for being brave and resourceful."

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "It's a last resort. What does your mother say?"

Qi Juan smirked and said, "You still care about what my mother says?"

Zhang Qing explained: "Because I think that Auntie is a very wise person and I hope to get her opinion."

Qi Juan laughed and said: "It's useless to tell me, I won't pass on your flattery. But let you down, my mother criticized you, saying that you shouldn't go to the playground at all, but should tell the teacher. Because Others may not be able to solve this matter simply by filing a complaint, but you are different. You are a student in the Xinjiang aid program, and you have a layer of political identity. Secondly, you are learning by leaps and bounds, and you are the seed player that the school counts on. The school will never sit idly by Something happened to you. It was reckless of you to go to the playground by yourself."

Hearing the words, Zhang Qing nodded repeatedly and said, "It makes sense, I've been educated."

Unable to hold back, Qi Juan kicked Zhang Qing and said, "I can't stand you! Who are you trying to please?"

Bright big eyes, more beautiful than the setting sun.

But after laughing, he said: "By the way, my mother wants to invite you to dinner, because I have indeed made great progress with your help."

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "That's unnecessary, right? You've also helped me a lot, thank you for your kindness on my behalf."

Qi Juan looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't think about it too much, my mother can't bear to let me marry to Xijiang, so I didn't invite my uncle."

These blunt words made Zhang Qing a little overwhelmed, and looked at Qi Juan speechlessly.

Seeing his embarrassment, Qi Juan laughed loudly, and said: "Not only you, but also Liu Shanshan and my best friend, Chu Tiantian, who are studying in the third middle school. In fact, after Tiantian heard about you, ten thousand Curious, I insist on seeing you. How about some face?"

No. [-] Middle School is also a key middle school, not far from No. [-] Middle School, and the competition between the two schools is fierce.

After all, Zhang Qing is a man from the Northwest. Hearing her mentioning this, she was not shy and nodded, "When?"

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Are you free this Saturday afternoon?"

Zhang Qing said: "Over there at the bar?"

Qi Juan joked: "Look at you, if you want to be in the bar, you can be in the bar, and if you want to go home with me, you can go home."

Zhang Qing shook her head helplessly, this proud girl of heaven, confident and sincere, just loves to joke.

Maybe it was because she could tell that Zhang Qing was always calm and sober...

"Ring Ling Ling..."

The class bell rang, and the two returned to the teaching building.

The sunlight hanging from the western sky slanted and warmly poured down on the campus, and even the edge of the green grass has been dyed a goose yellow color.

Seeing the two of them walking back and forth into the classroom, Su Meng quietly asked Zhang Li at the same table in the corner, "Is there really something wrong with the two of them?"

Zhang Li sneered when she heard the words, and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

Su Meng was dissatisfied and said: "I know that Zhang Qing's family conditions are very poor. Many people in the grade look down on the people from Xijiang, thinking that they are rural and rustic, and they are ignorant... But Zhang Qing is different? At least he almost He got the first place in the grade, and, don't you think he's actually handsome, but he's too tanned and dressed..."

Zhang Li sneered, and said, "Childish. So what if he studies well? It's amazing to pass the Qingbei exam, but it's different in university? His family's situation... the whole family is sick. After graduation, he Can you earn a thousand dollars? I’m afraid the thousand dollars will have to be sent home for people to take medicine.”

Su Meng was surprised and said, "You are too realistic, aren't you?"

Zhang Li shook her head and said, "That's what I said to you, to others... It's the last year of high school, who would waste time during this time? Especially people like Qi Juan..."

Hearing that her tone was wrong, Su Meng lowered her voice and asked, "How do you say, what kind of person?"

Zhang Li said softly: "She has a family background like her, and she is so smart, and she has a strong purpose in doing things."

Su Meng came to her senses and suddenly realized: "You said she was doing it to improve her grades..."

Zhang Li snorted, and asked back, "Otherwise? Is it really possible to fall in love with that local dog?"

When Su Meng heard this, she suddenly felt sympathetic to Zhang Qing, he was so miserable...
