1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 272 You Are Not Human If You Don’t Write

Brother Pingtou reappeared in the editorial department of "Contemporary" after more than a month, and the decadent look of the previous few times disappeared from his brows and eyes. It should be nourished by love.

"What's your situation? I thought you'd absconded with the manuscript!" Lin Weimin teased.

Wang Shuo sat down familiarly, "I'm running away, buddy is busy!"

"What about the manuscript?"

Wang Shuo curled his lips, he didn't say he cared about his own life and death after not seeing him for such a long time, and he asked for a manuscript when he came up.

There are not many people like this who are exhausted.

A stack of manuscript paper was thrown on the table, and Wang Shuo's face was filled with embarrassment.

"Pour the tea yourself."

After Lin Weimin said something, he read the manuscript.

His relaxed humor resolved the embarrassment of Wang Shuo and Shen Xujia.

A few days later, Lin Weimin sent Wang Shuo an invoice for the manuscript.

"Other colleagues have to take a look."

Wang Shuo was sweating from eating, Shen Xujia wiped his mouth with a paper, and smiled at Lin Weimin in embarrassment.

Love has always been costly, and a useless cost at that.

Normally, when Lin Weimin boasted so much, Wang Shuo would say a few words wildly, but this time he showed a little shyness rarely.

A total of 400 yuan, the moment he received the manuscript fee, tears filled Leng Jiefang's eyes.

Wang Shuo got up to go to pay the bill, but Lin Weimin held him down, "Come on, I'm almost out of food. If I let you treat me, you won't be able to poke me in the back later?"

"Don't worry, you can use it first." Lin Weimin said.

Order first when you enter the door, and the atmosphere is still normal when you wait for the food to be served.

Wang Shuo scolded with a smile: "You can't expect me to order well?"

Wang Shuo only noticed Lin Weimin when he raised his head to pour meat into the copper hot pot.

"Eat quickly, don't be polite!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Weimin was puzzled.

After Shen Xujia got his salary this month, the bonus that had been delayed for two months was finally paid. Shen Xujia proposed to invite Lin Weimin to have a meal.

"Where is so much nonsense, hurry up and write the manuscript, hand in the manuscript and pay back the money!"

Among the things stolen, the most valuable thing was the watch.It was just bought by Wang Shuo from the trust shop for Shen Xujia, a plum blossom female watch, the new watch is [-], the trust shop is a second-hand watch, no ticket, [-].

"For the people, you are welcome, eat!"

Leng Jiefang's manuscript was finally finished. The manuscript was handed in the day before yesterday, and the manuscript fee was received yesterday.

Lin Weimin feigned anger and said, "How many times have I told you that I have a girlfriend!"

"It's okay, I'm not too hungry, you two eat first."

Seeing that there was not much money in his hand, Wang Shuo didn't dare to spend any more, and held back for almost a month.

"It's not that I am improving fast, but my girlfriend is improving fast!"

"Fuck it! Your few manuscripts are not enough to deduct the money you owe me!"

He and Shen Xujia have empty wrists now, and they have to ask others if they want to know the time outside.

He needs to find some motivation to write the manuscript. It just so happens that Wang Shuo just mentioned that Shen Xujia lost his watch.

"Medical examination? What is the medical examination for?"

Lin Weimin was a little surprised, "I haven't seen Ganqing for more than a month, you've given me a hard time!"

Lin Weimin raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "It's eight o'clock! It's almost time, let's move out."

He calculated in his mind that Wang Shuo should be able to get 60 yuan for the novella "Stewardess", and the latter novella called "Floating from the Sea". If it can be published smoothly, it will cost 400 yuan. There must be a dollar.

Looking back on the two months in the small black house, everything was worth it!
"Go, I'll take you to the station!"

"Look at you, I didn't say anything, what are you in a hurry for?"

Wang Shuo said something, before he had time to speak, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick the mutton in the copper hot pot.

"Look at you, I'm in a hurry again. Maybe you can do it, but I can't say it?"

"You are really good. Have you ever bought a second-hand watch for your girlfriend?"

"Got it!" Wang Shuo said helplessly.

Wang Shuo knew that Lin Weimin was afraid of increasing his burden, so he said warmly, "Farewell. It's not me asking you, it's my girlfriend asking you. If you didn't lend me money, I don't know how to survive. "

Lin Weimin said embarrassingly: "Look at the trouble, why don't you go in?"

"Don't mind, or I'll always be thinking about it, and I won't be able to do it!"

Lin Weimin said angrily: "Hold the watch, the receipt is in the watch box, a total of three hundred and sixty, the money is foreign exchange certificates, next time the manuscript fee will be deducted!"

Lin Weimin looked at the manuscript, and then at Wang Shuo.

After working as an editor for several years, Lin Weimin's vision became more and more vicious.

"Come on, I don't know you yet. Later, I'll ask the accountant to quickly issue the manuscript fee bill, so that you won't starve to death!" Lin Weimin said angrily.

You wrote it with your girlfriend?Wouldn't it be putting gold on his face?
"What kind of eyes do you have? We really wrote it together!" Wang Shuo emphasized.

Wang Shuo's two novels are about to be published, and if this product gets the manuscript fee and starts to waste again, a few hundred dollars can be spent for a long time.

Lin Weimin shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not your problem. You don't know that before, he and Xie Jing speculated and made a lot of money. After working for two years, he didn't save a penny. He is a money-loser. "

"You kid is making rapid progress!"

While talking, he took out another stack of manuscript paper from his bag, "Let's take a look!"

Only now did he have time to explain a few words to Lin Weimin.

Without the money borrowed by Lin Weimin, the two would not have progressed so fast.

After a few jokes, Lin Weimin took out another box.

"What is this?"

"That's it!" Wang Shuo raised his chin with a proud expression.

Not bad.

Wang Shuo said: "Let's go, don't be busy, I invite you to dinner!"

Shen Xujia is a dancer of the Oriental Dance Troupe. Although there is no obvious gap between various industries in this era, girls from the stage troupe have no worries about being chased by others.

Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, turtles match cuckoos.

"it is good."

When it was almost time to get off work, I finally finished reading it, and said, "Not bad, it's finally changed to look like it."

After hearing the experience of the two, Lin Weimin silently took a mouthful of mutton.

Lin Weimin's meaningful expression made Wang Shuo's teeth itch with hatred.

It took less than an hour since Wang Shuo entered the door, and she has been standing here.

Lin Weimin boasted to Wang Shuo: "You are blessed to have found a woman like sister-in-law!"

Falling in love costs a lot of money, and chasing Shen Xujia is even more expensive. It just so happens that Wang Shuo has no money, so Wang Shuo met Tian'er and Lin Weimin at the gate of the Guowen Society in early August.

Shen Xujia said: "The editorial department is so busy, you are all talking about work, I will wait here for a while."

"Isn't it?"

Wang Shuo was quick-witted, and immediately understood Lin Weimin's ridicule, and cursed: "Your uncle!"

Shen Xujia was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I don't blame him. It's because I didn't know his financial situation at first. If I knew it earlier, I would definitely not let him spend that money."

"Didn't you have a bad stomach? Didn't the doctor tell you to eat something soft?"

Wang Shuo sneered, "I knew you had to say that!"

He squeezed the thickness of the manuscript, and it was another novella.

Wang Shuo took the box and opened it, and a brand new shining plum blossom female watch lay quietly in the watch box.

The manuscript of "Stewardess" was used, and the manuscript of "Surfacing" was also used, and the manuscript fee was increased by one yuan. The total manuscript fee of the two manuscripts was over seven hundred.

"Don't be too polite. Aren't you two in a tight situation right now? When you have enough money later, please come back. Say yes first, then I will have to eat twice, or I won't be able to get back my money!"

"What happened to the second-hand ones? It costs hundreds of dollars!"

Isn't this an excuse?
What is a good editor?
It must be thinking about what the author thinks, and being anxious about what the author is anxious about.

I ran into Leng Jiefang who was carrying a big bag head on.

Yo!

"Mr. Lin!" Leng Jiefang greeted Lin Weimin.

Wang Shuo said angrily, "If it wasn't for paying him a fine, I would still have a lot of money now."

Authors who have subjective initiative are good authors. Don’t be urged by the editor, and submit the manuscript on your own initiative.

Wang Shuo was impatient and helpless, he was always unforgiving, but he couldn't take advantage of Lin Weimin every time he met Lin Weimin.

This means that they have been together for several months. If Wang Shuo had just fallen in love with Shen Xujia, he would have to rush to settle the bill even if he tripped Lin Weimin.

Waiting for the grandson to pay back the money, it is better to sell the copyright of his novel.

Lin Weimin really wanted to ask, the clothes look like dogs, did you two escape from the famine?
After finally waiting for the sixth plate of mutton to be cooked, the rhythm of Wang Shuo and Shen Xujia finally slowed down.

Some time ago, Wang Shuo's business failed completely, and his best friend Xie Jing also squatted on the fence. He entered the trough of life, and it was at this time that he met Shen Xujia.

Wang Shuo squeezed the watch box with some strength, his eyes were sore, and he said after a few seconds: "Damn, if you use this method to chase girls, the children can be soy sauce, and they won't be a bachelor now Son!"

Wang Shuo took Qian Xi's hand and smiled. He spat on his thumb and counted the money, and then handed some of it back to Lin Weimin.

"Yo, Liberation, did you go back today?"

After accepting this watch, don't you work hard to write a manuscript for Mr. Lin?

Qu Xiaowei's description is very accurate. Shen Xujia is a beautiful dancer, probably because of her occupation. She has a tall and straight figure, and her long windbreaker sets off her outstanding temperament.

Lin Weimin never dared to think that Wang Shuo could pay back his money.

When Dong Laishun Wang Shuo asked the time that day, he had an idea.

With just one sentence, Lin Weimin could see that this was a generous woman who knew the general.

I rolled my eyes, and the quality is surprisingly good.

It was only when Lin Weimin came to the corridor that he realized that Shen Xujia, Wang Shuo's girlfriend, had been waiting here for a long time.

After chatting for a while, Lin Weimin left.

Fortunately, Lin Weimin extended a helping hand in time, and the more than 400 yuan allowed Wang Shuo to spend the most difficult days in the early stage of their relationship.

I thought I could make some quick money by writing, but I didn't expect that my success would be unfavorable.

"Oh, I finally had a decent meal." Wang Shuo said.

The good times didn't last long. Last month, Shen Xujia performed in the theater of Yanjing Exhibition Hall. After the performance, she took a shower backstage. Unexpectedly, her clothes, watches, and bags were all stolen. The loss was not small.

"Yes."

Humming a little tune all the way, Teacher Lin's motorcycle drove into the compound of the Chinese Culture Society.

After a few seconds, Lin Weimin said cheaply, "Did you go to the hospital for a physical examination?"

The two were in a passionate relationship again, Wang Shuo slapped her swollen face to pretend to be fat, and took her to restaurants when he had nothing to do, and the money in his hand was spent quickly.

Shen Xujia is a dancer. She eats a lot of fortified food in her daily diet. Most of her salary and bonuses for a month are eaten into her stomach.

"Can it be published?" Wang Shuo asked.

Wang Shuo buttoned the watch box, and he said that he wanted to send the watch box back.

Cannibals are soft and short.

Lin Weimin lent Wang Shuo more than 400 yuan, more than half of which was spent on the watch alone.

Lin Weimin refused to answer it, and said: "Take it, that watch can be regarded as a token of love between the two of you no matter what, it's a pity to lose it like this. I can't get it back if I look for it. It just so happens that this watch is newly bought. A token of love will not lose points!"

Riding a motorcycle, he hummed a little song.

"Where is it? Why didn't I look at it?"

"You, come on and write, how many novels do you have to write to spend your time with such an outrageous method?" Lin Weimin said.

Wang Shuo forced the money into Lin Weimin's hands, and Lin Weimin said: "Okay, you can speak again when you need it again."

Wang Shuo didn't take it to heart. He has been to "Contemporary" so many times, and he also understands the working habits here. Anyway, Lin Weimin said that it is almost the same, so it should not be a big problem.

Wang Shuo chose Donglaishun as the place to treat guests. As the weather gradually cooled down, Donglaishun's business started to boom again.

Wang Shuo spat: "I knew you couldn't do without this!"

With a total of more than 600 yuan, it may not last for many days.

If you don't write, you are not human!
"Golden Shield~
Made with passion~
Show your skills in times of crisis, show your skills~"

After waiting for the mutton to be served, Lin Weimin looked at Wang Shuo and Shen Xujia who were devoting themselves to cooking without raising their heads, and silently put down their chopsticks.

"Poor!" Lin Weimin stabbed Wang Shuo, and then said, "Forget it, let me treat you."

"Why not?" Wang Shuo pulled Lin Weimin, "I'll tell you more about it when we have dinner."

Wang Shuo was not angry either, and said with a playful smile, "Thank you!"

Lin Weimin settled the bill resolutely, Shen Xujia kept saying sorry, she was the one who wanted to treat guests, but in the end it was Lin Weimin who paid the bill.

"take me Out to eat?"

He really doesn't like this pair.

The three of them ate and chatted. After a while, they felt that their food was almost finished. Wang Shuo asked Lin Weimin, "Weimin, what time is it?"

"This novel was written by me and my girlfriend."

While joking, when it was time to get off work, the colleagues in the office packed up their things and prepared to leave.

"What's the matter? I can't treat you to dinner without money?"

"When will the manuscript fee be paid?" Wang Shuo asked.

"No, I'll just take the bus."

"You're welcome, hurry up."

Lin Weimin dragged Leng Jiefang to the train station, and returned to the Guowen Society after lunch time.

He was planning to find a place to settle for lunch before returning to the office when he heard someone calling his name on the street.
