The Cannon Fodder of Time Traveling in the 90s

Chapter 16

Inside the provincial capital newspaper, the editor-in-chief Wang Cheng was holding a stack of manuscripts and giving lectures to the review editors.

"Xiao Liu, you have been in the newspaper office for so long, and you have been working as a review editor. Let me ask you, what criteria did you review, and did you review according to the regulations?"

Xiao Liu is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He lowered his head and said nothing before. Hearing this, he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mr. Wang, the manuscripts I have approved all conform to the regulations of the newspaper. .”

"It's all in line with the newspaper's regulations." Wang Cheng looked at him coldly, "Because your manuscripts are reviewed directly by famous authors who have already been published in newspapers. You don't even read the manuscripts of other newcomers. Yes. If someone hadn't seen this manuscript this time, I would have been fooled by you."

As soon as he heard that his hole cards were seen by others, Xiao Liu panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, I also sat here to select a manuscript that is more in line with the regulations, and to make things more efficient. Yes, please give me a chance."

"Opportunities don't come often. You should pack up your things and go to the logistics department first. You don't need to use your brain for things there. You should get used to it first. Maybe it suits you."

He didn't listen to his explanation, so he kicked him out.Then he took the phone and dialed the extension number.

"Li Quan, come in."

Li Quan is a newcomer who has only been in the newspaper for two years. He is the intensive editor of the newspaper and is usually in charge of publishing.This time I was called in, and I was a little nervous.

As soon as he entered the editor's office, Editor Wang threw the manuscript in front of him.

Li Quan took a look, wasn't it the "Biography of XX Heroes" that he found out from many discarded manuscripts of martial arts novels?No wonder it disappeared when it came this morning. It turned out to be from the editor-in-chief.

He smiled awkwardly, and was about to admit that he stole discarded manuscripts during working hours.

"Let's put aside the things you are doing recently, and help me get in touch with this author named Jin Yong."

"Huh?" Li Quan was taken aback.

Editor-in-Chief Wang said: "He writes well. I have read so many martial arts novels, and our newspapers have serialized many of them, but there is no writing style like his. Look, those martial arts novels are fighting back and forth, that is, It’s just a martial arts. If you look at this article, although the beginning of the article is only tens of thousands of words, it has already covered the Central Plains, Mongolia, and Liao. I believe that if the story behind this is well developed, it will definitely be a masterpiece."

Hearing such a compliment from Editor-in-Chief Wang, Li Quan finally understood. It turned out that Editor-in-Chief Wang took a fancy to someone else's manuscript, so he asked him to contact him to continue publishing.

He hurriedly said, "I thought so too. When I took a look at it, I couldn't put it down."

"Well, you still have to help pick up the work on Xiao Liu's side now. After I have a personal transfer in the past few days, you will return to the post of intensive editor. Of course, first put this Mr. Jin Yong Get in touch and talk."

"This is no problem, the envelope has an address on it." Li Quan rubbed his head in difficulty, "I just don't know how to determine the remuneration for this manuscript?" Xiao Liu was in charge before, but now he is not sure.

Editor-in-Chief Wang thought for a while and said, "Now the national unified standard is 30-120/thousand characters, and her article..."

"60?" Li Quan tentatively asked, after all, he was praised by the editor-in-chief, so he couldn't lower it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Editor-in-Chief Wang gave him a cross-eyed look, "He is a newcomer, he is praised too much at the beginning, his vanity is easy to rise, and it is easy to cause psychological changes. What should we do if the things he writes change when the time comes. Besides, it was too high all of a sudden, how will it be praised in the future?"

Hearing this, Li Quan hurriedly said, "Be taught, be taught."
