This star is a bit cold

Chapter 8
"The protagonist, Gregor Samsa, works as a traveling salesman in a company. He travels around for many years and supports the whole family's expenses with hard work.

When Samsa was able to support his ruthless family with a meager salary, he was the respected eldest son in the family, his parents praised him, and his sister respected and loved him very much.

But when one day he turned into a beetle, lost his labor force, and no longer made material contributions to the family, his family changed their previous respect for him, and gradually showed indifference, disgust, and hatred.

His father beat him viciously with an apple, his mother fainted from fright, and his sister gradually grew tired of him.Gradually, Gregor stayed away from the society, and finally died silently and alone in hunger, while his family seemed to be about to start a new and happy life.”

Lao Wang is trying to figure out the general plot of the novella and the connotation that the author wants to convey in detail, but the more he analyzes Lao Wang, the more he feels that this novella really has too much to say , He alone is far from being able to fully describe the connotation and subtlety of this work.

And even though he had calmed down for quite a long time after reading it, the way of describing such incredible and absurd things as transformation in such a calm and peaceful tone still lingered in Lao Wang's mind. don't go.

Faced with a work of this level, of course, Pharaoh did not hesitate to leave a recommendation for it, and he also added his very subjective remarks "the best Chinese-language work I have seen in the past ten years." A novel!"

Frankly speaking, for a person like Lao Wang who still has a certain degree of literary accomplishment, seeing a good work is like a person in the desert suddenly drinking cool mountain spring water, although the theme of the work It is somewhat gloomy, but it still can't restrain Lao Wang's joy at seeing excellent works.

Although happiness is happiness, it has brought great trouble to Pharaoh's follow-up work.
"Fuck! What kind of rubbish did you write!"

In the originally peaceful office, Lao Wang's agitated voice suddenly sounded, causing several editors to look over.

After all, in an office, everyone knows what kind of temper Lao Wang has. He has been working in the industry for nearly 20 years, and it is said that he is already invulnerable to all poisons. Now that I'm in the state of cursing out loud, I can imagine how bad the work I've seen.
To be honest, although Huaxia Publishing House has a big family and a big business, it means that the salary is not low, but damn it, this job is really difficult
With a high reputation, there are naturally many authors who come to contribute, which means that you always see some garbage works that pollute your spirit.

The point is, you have to read the damn thing!
Some relevant evaluations should also be given to explain the reasons, and there will be a department in charge of this area to check afterwards.
Double the torture! This is it!

It’s better for the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief above, all you see are selected works, so you won’t suffer from all kinds of spiritual pollution
Thinking of this, looking at Lao Wang who suddenly went crazy, all the editors retracted their heads with sympathy and continued to review their manuscripts. If it drags down the progress of the entire essay review, then it's really over.
The other editors shrank back, but He Wu, who was sitting next to Lao Wang and had a good relationship with Lao Wang, came over and asked, "What's the matter, Lao Wang? Did you see some outrageous works? It's rare, it seems I've never seen you so upset before."

"It's not very bad, but it's a bit unbearable after a comparison." Lao Wang, who was a little depressed, took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but glance at the manuscript again. After savoring the thoughts over and over again, he turned his head to look at He Wu's desk and asked, "How is your manuscript review going? Is it almost over?"

"It's about the same." Speaking of this, He Wu felt a little bit emotional, "I've been reviewing manuscripts overnight these days, and I even refused some requests from my wife to discuss some things in depth. How easy it is."

Lao Wang, who knew He Wu quite well: "."

Are you really because you want to work hard and not because you really can't satisfy your wife?
As we all know, when people reach middle age, if they are out-and-out old fritters and suddenly start busy with work, most of the time, work is actually just an excuse
Opened his mouth, Lao Wang, who was surnamed Wang and lived near He Wu's house, didn't dare to say anything more, but with a slight movement of his eyes, he came up with a somewhat wicked idea.

"In this case, Lao He, why don't you show me this work?" It can even be said that Lao Wang picked up the manuscript carefully and handed it to He Wu, "Be careful, don't get dirty or anything. "

"Okay." Although he felt that Lao Wang's behavior was a little bit wrong, He Wu, who only thought that Lao Wang wanted to reduce the workload appropriately, did not refuse, but readily agreed.

Writer?

When seeing this pseudonym, He Wu almost frowned slightly like Lao Wang, but after a short moment, He Wu, who shook his head, opened the book and continued to read.

Thus, a new victim began to be born gradually
Of course, Ye Che didn't know about all that happened in Huaxia Publishing House. Of course, even if he knew, Ye Che would only take it for granted. After all, Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis" is worth nothing. People with a little bit of literary common sense are enough to know that this novella is almost a peak that cannot be avoided in the history of literature in the [-]th century.

Thanks to many readings in the previous life and the enhanced memory after time travel, Ye Che can be said to have written "The Metamorphosis" almost authentically. But what a great irony.

By the way, Ye Che certainly had considerations for choosing this one instead of Kafka's other works.

Speaking of it, "The Metamorphosis" is actually one of Kafka's works that is extremely easy to understand. No matter from that perspective, this work is not too vague or abrupt. If it were Kafka's For other works, the test for editors can be said to be torture.

After all, even Einstein said after reading Kafka's novels: "The human brain is not complicated enough."

Although it may not be really unreadable or just a little confused by the jumpy but reasonable plot, there is no doubt that Kafka's work is the most difficult to read among many writers.

Putting these aside, at this moment, Ye Che is sitting in the living room with Su Mo, preparing to watch the trailer and extras of the latest issue of "Looking for That Singer".

Speaking of which, your program team is a bit outrageously fast.
Is it edited in such a short time?
I would call you machine gunners
