Reborn Scholar

Chapter 15

It is not an easy task to submit an article to country R.

First of all, Meng Shi didn't know the submission address.

That, though, allows the editors of the sci-fi world to help.

Secondly, she has to choose whether to contribute to a detective magazine in country R or to contribute to a serial in a newspaper in country R.

Of course, the one that pays the most is the newspaper serialization, and the price for magazine submissions is not high.

After much deliberation, Meng Shi still chose to contribute to the newspaper.

The reason can be said to be very simple. Mystery novels in country R are very developed, so many mystery novel lovers contribute articles to the magazine by themselves, and the magazine receives countless manuscripts every day.Her contribution is likely to be wiped out in a pile of manuscripts.

Also, she intends to submit manuscripts in Chinese. When the magazine is faced with so many manuscripts, it will certainly not take a Chinese manuscript too seriously.

But newspapers are different.

Because of the high requirements for newspaper submissions, many people would not submit long-form serial mystery novels to newspapers even if they had the mentality of trying it out.

All Meng Shi had to do was write an introduction to the manuscript, ask someone to translate it into Japanese, and then send it to a newspaper in country R along with the manuscript.

But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

It was too closed at this time. If it wasn't for the mystery novels of country R, ​​no one would understand what Meng Shi wanted to know.The editors in the sci-fi world she was familiar with couldn't help at all.

In desperation, Meng Shi had no choice but to choose another way.

She is going to W University in W City, the capital of the neighboring province.

She remembered that Yu Qian, a well-known mystery novelist in Huaxia, was a professor in the Department of Mathematics of W University.It can even be said that Yu Qian is well known not because of his status as a computer professor, but because of his status as the number one mystery novelist in China!

Yu Qian's mystery novels are also very, very popular in country R, ​​but this person has always been very low-key.

Meng Shi knew that he must have a way to submit articles to Country R.

Before, she thought that it would be difficult to get in touch with Yu Qian, so she thought it would be less troublesome.But I didn't expect that I still had to use this backup plan.

Going to W city is about the same distance as going to Z city in the province.

But it just so happened that the magazine sent her the manuscript fee for M Country A Magazine, of course, after sharing it with the magazine.

At that time, the prices were not high, more than 700 yuan, which was enough for her to do many things.

Going to W City is of course no problem, and you won't be unable to go because you are worried about spending money.

But how to go, what excuse to use, is really a problem.

Meng Shi told his grandfather about the matter, unexpectedly, his grandfather slapped his hands, "I'll go with you!"

Meng Shi was extremely surprised.

After the grandfather explained it in detail, she found out that the old classmates of the grandfather used to teach at the university in D county, just like the grandfather. Later, the university in D county was abolished, and the grandfather's classmates followed the transfer order. big.The two occasionally communicate by letter!
With grandpa going, Meng Shi naturally didn't have to make excuses.

It is said that the grandfather went to see his classmates, and took his granddaughter out to gain knowledge by the way.

It was only September, and school had just started. Meng Shi was not busy with his studies, but his family's farm work was busy.

Several batches of cotton have been picked, and the picked ones are in shells, piled up in the yard, picked during the day and peeled at night.If there is no time to peel it, it will be dried outside with the shell directly.

Not only cotton, but also the corn, peanuts, and soybeans planted are all ready to be harvested, so they are really busy.

Except for grandpa, there was really no one who could accompany Meng Shi there.

However, apart from some inflexible legs and feet, my grandfather is fine, so there is nothing to worry about when the two of them are together.

Instead of taking the train this time, take the car.

In order to attract more passengers, the car has to stop in every county and city along the way from N city to W city, and people are picked up and dropped off.

The journey that was supposed to take five or six hours was dragged down to ten hours.

When they arrived at the W city station, Meng Shi and his grandfather found a taxi and said directly to W University.

The fare cost more than ten yuan, and my grandfather felt distressed.This is almost as much as their fare from N City to W City.

Before coming here, my grandfather didn't tell his old classmates about it, so the two first found a small hotel outside W University to stay.

What Meng Shi meant was to go directly to Professor Yu Qian, and if he couldn't meet him, then contact him through grandfather's old classmates.Otherwise, it seems to be too utilitarian.

Grandpa said no, he had a very good relationship with that old classmate.

The next day, the two entered W University.

Grandpa's classmates were from the history department, so they went directly to the history department.

According to the street signs, it is not difficult to find, and on the way, I also asked my classmates.

However, when I found the office building of the History Department, I found out after inquiring that my grandfather's old classmate had gone to University B for an academic exchange and was not on campus.

Grandpa was a little frustrated.

Meng shi could understand grandpa's mood.

Looking at such a beautiful W University, and thinking about his old classmates who used to be like him, now they can go to B University for academic exchanges, but he has become a real farmer.This kind of psychological gap is really uncomfortable.

Meng Shi didn't know how to comfort grandpa.

In her previous life, she only knew that her grandfather was a well-known pen writer in the county, and he was very knowledgeable in writing articles, but she didn't know that his grandfather was such an excellent person.

"Grandpa, you still have me." After a long time, Meng Shi said such a sentence.

Unexpectedly, this sentence actually made grandpa laugh, "That's right, Shi Shi is right. Grandpa still has Shi Shi. How about relying on B University in the future? Grandpa wanted to go to B University back then, but he didn't take the exam." superior."

"Okay, Grandpa, I promise you, I will definitely go to B University."

"Good boy."

No one was found, and after resting on the bench outside the school for a while, Meng Shi decided to find Professor Yu Qian by himself.

"Grandpa, can you sit here and wait for me to come back? The Department of Mathematics is a bit far away. I will find Professor Yu Qian by myself."

Grandpa was obviously worried.

But Meng Shi said again, "Grandpa, this is W University. Look, there are a lot of security guards. There will definitely not be traffickers here like train stations and bus stations. Besides, the quality of the students here is very high. If you really meet Bad guys, let me yell, they will definitely not die, so don't worry."

Grandpa just nodded.

Meng Shi was also a little bit embarrassed, that is, in this backward and closed era, most people's hearts are so pure and flawless. When seeing grandpa and aunt who fell down on the street, the first reaction is not to worry about whether they will be blackmailed. When you see a thief, you will not turn your face away in silence, and even when you see a robbery, you will not stand by...

W is really big. She ran all the way to the mathematics department, and she felt that her feet were about to break.

There is no way, this kind of big campus should be visited by bicycle or battery car. It is really not suitable for transportation such as legs, and it is not suitable for the legs of a 9-year-old girl...

Walking downstairs to the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics, Meng Shi was a little tired.

Just in time, the bell rang, and it seemed that some students had finished class.

Today's students will not skip classes, and even wish they could listen to all the teachers' classes!
After the get out of class bell rang, they would not scramble to rush out of the classroom, but surrounded the teacher to find answers to their own questions.

Meng Shi waited for a while before someone came out of the building.

A girl who looks very gentle.

Meng Shi hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Hi sister, can you help me?"

Being polite is never wrong, the girl smiled immediately, "What's wrong with my little sister? Are you lost? Where's your family?"

"I would like to ask, sister, do you know Professor Yu Qian from the Department of Mathematics? I want to find him." Meng Shi said unhurriedly.

The girl was a little surprised, "Are you a relative of Professor Yu? Professor Yu just finished class and is answering students' questions right now. It's on the first floor. Let me take you there."

"No, I'll just go there by myself, thank you sister."

With that said, Meng Shi quickly ran up the steps and into the teaching building.

The girl smiled, said nothing, and left.

The target is easy to find.

There is a classroom where many students are discussing something intensely while walking out.

Meng Shi walked over and saw that there were not many students left in the classroom. There were various mathematical symbols, formulas and calculation processes on the blackboard.

On the podium, a professor in his forties, wearing a pair of glasses and looking refined, was answering questions for several students.

Meng Shi stood outside the door and waited.

During the period, it wasn't that no one was surprised, but Meng Shi just smiled and pointed inside. Everyone thought she was waiting for a certain classmate, so they didn't ask any more questions and left with a smile.

Finally, after the last student's question was answered, Professor Yu Qian packed up his lesson plans and prepared to leave.

The rest of the students in the classroom said hello and goodbye to Yu Qian.

Yu Qian replied with a smile, and left the classroom.

Meng Shi hurriedly followed Yu Qian's pace, "Excuse me, are you Professor Yu Qian?"

Yu Qian paused, looked at this strange little girl, and nodded, "I am, what's the matter?"

Meng Shi pursed his lips, and said bluntly, "I know you are an excellent writer of mystery novels, and I want to show you my works. I want to submit an article to country R, ​​but I don't have a channel, so I want to seek your advice." help."

As soon as this remark came out, Yu Qian was completely surprised.
