Chapter 31 Mask
After sitting in Su Tong's office for a while, Yu Dong stood up and left, "Brother, you are also busy, so I won't disturb you."
Su Tong was really busy, so he didn't stay with Yu Dong. He just said: "If you have another manuscript, just submit it to "Zhongshan". It's close here and it's always faster than other agencies. It won't matter whether you can pass it or not."
You’ll get feedback soon.”
Although Su Tong didn’t specify it, Yu Dong also knew what the “other societies” he meant.
"Okay, I remember." Yu Dong nodded and pointed to the next door, "I saw Editor He when I came here just now, so I'd better go and have a look."
“Go.” Su Tong took out a cigarette and lit it.
Yu Dong smiled knowingly and walked out of Su Tong's office quickly. It was obvious that he had influenced Su Tong to smoke while he was there.
Probably Wang Anyi mentioned it last time, so now Su Tong is a little wary when smoking in front of Yudong.
The deputy editor's office door was open, and Yu Dong raised his hand and knocked.
He Yongle, who was writing something at his desk, looked up and saw Yu Dong, and stood up with a smile: "Have you finished talking to Editor Su?"
“He is also very busy and I dare not waste too much time on him.”
“The club has been really busy recently.” He Yongle walked to the cabinet and took out a water cup and asked Yu Dong: “What do you want to drink, white tea or melon slices? I’ll just take these two kinds of tea.”
Yu Dong waved his hand quickly: "Editor He, you're welcome. I had a big meal at Editor Su's place just now, and now my stomach is still shaking when I walk."
Hearing what Yu Dong said, He Yongle put the water glass back, "I'm not a polite person, so don't be polite when you come to me."
“Just natural.”
"Sit down." He Yongle pulled Yu Dong and sat down on the sofa, "I came here today to ask about the early publication of "Mending the Sky", right?"
“Editor-in-Chief Su told me that he moved “Mending the Sky” to this issue due to space considerations.”
He Yongle said with a smile: "This is only part of the reason, there are some other reasons."
“Oh, there are other reasons?”
He Yongle looked at the door, then lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you meet Ye Zhaoyan when you left last time? He came here just for this matter. He was probably afraid that "Mending the Sky" would be too long and crowd them out.
There are several chapters in length, so I suggest you divide this article into two."
“Ah, really?”
Yu Dong made a surprised expression and stared at He Yongle.
The deputy editor is about forty years old, a little chubby, and has a natural smile on his face. This smile is like a mask on his face, and all other expressions are completed on this mask.
.
Yu Dong didn't expect that he called him here just to talk about this matter. Whether what he said was true or not, Yu Dong felt that it was somewhat credible.
The reason why Su Tong didn't tell him about this matter was probably because he was afraid that he would think too much and end up having an affair with Ye Zhaoyan.
But in fact, Yu Dong doesn't really care whether this matter is related to Ye Zhaoyan. To him, Ye Zhaoyan is just an acquaintance who he has met twice and is not even a friend.
Yu Dong is not willing to devote his time and energy to fighting with such people.
As for He Yongle, Yu Dong had already made a cross for him in his heart. He told himself that this was definitely not out of good intentions, but maybe to sow discord between himself and Ye Zhaoyan or between himself and Su Tong.
The latter is more likely.
After He Yongle finished speaking, he kept staring at Yu Dong's eyes. After making sure that he only saw surprise, the smile on the outside of the mask became even brighter, "Hey, don't be surprised, it's the literary world. Don't blame Editor Su, either.
He is also doing it for your own good, because he is afraid that you will have objections to Ye Zhaoyan if you find out. After all, Ye Zhaoyan has been in the Jinling literary world for so long, and there is no benefit in offending him."
After hearing this, Yu Dong nodded sincerely and said: "Editor He, you are right. I really have to say thank you to Editor Su later. He really considered it for me. And he compared "Mending the Sky" to the rest of them.
Separating the articles is also a good thing for me. After all, I am a newcomer, and my works will definitely be overshadowed by those of everyone else."
He Yongle was stunned. He didn't know whether Yu Dong was really stupid or a coward. He had already made it so that Yu Dong didn't even have any anger at all.
“Ahem, it’s good if you can think like this, that’s good.” He Yongle didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Yu Dong smiled secretly and said, "Editor-in-Chief He, I still have something to do at school, so I'm afraid I have to go back early."
He Yongle didn't expect Yu Dong to leave so soon. He was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, okay, I'll see you off."
Yu Dong stretched out his hand to stop him: "Editor He, stay here."
Walking out of the "Zhongshan" magazine, Yu Dong couldn't help but look back at this three-story building. From the front to the back, countless outstanding works in the Chinese literary world have come out from here in the past few decades.
And in this small area, there are also discords.
After being in contact with He Yongle today, Yu Dong already understood why He Yongle, who was now in his forties and now in his forties, did not become the editor-in-chief after staying in the company for more than ten years, but Su Tong, who was less than thirty years old, became the editor-in-chief.
Already.
Looking back, Yu Dong looked at the time and said, "Hey, it's really late."
Muttering something to himself, Yu Dong hurriedly found his bicycle and rushed to school.
What he told He Yongle was not entirely an excuse. There was indeed something going on at the school.
For the "Decoration Design" competition, class monitor Qu Aiguo is planning to organize a discussion meeting with the students who are going to participate in the competition to share their knowledge and strive to produce good works.
After hearing this, Yu Dong was particularly happy. He was very willing to see students having such autonomy, so he told Qu Aiguo that he would also be present when they organized seminars.
It was scheduled to start at 5:40, so Yu Dong hurriedly arrived at the classroom at around 5:30.
There were a total of eight people from Gongmei91 participating in the competition this time, but there were more than just people coming to participate in the discussion. Basically everyone in the class was here. Although other students did not participate, they also wanted to be there to watch.
When Yu Dong walked to the door, he heard the noise in the classroom, and various voices were mixed together, but he couldn't make out what they were saying.
After he entered, the classroom suddenly became quiet.
But it was only quiet for a few seconds. When the students saw Yu Dong, they gathered around happily. Especially the girls, they were babbling and talking non-stop around Yu Dong.
The boys consciously leaned on the outer circle and looked at Yu Dong with bright eyes.
Since Yu Dong became "famous in some areas" in Jinyi, the students of Gongmei 91 are all so proud that they want to hold two signs on their heads when walking on the road, one sign says "Gongmei Class 91" and the other sign
