Chapter 8 What is the experience of being scolded by the editor-in-chief
Pang Shibi, who has lived in Jinmen for a long time, works for the "Jinmen Evening News". This person is not only an editor, but also the chief editor.
Even though Fei Jingting was very thick-skinned, he blushed with shame. He was afraid of being notorious, so he hurriedly invited Pang Shibi to his home. After making tea and sitting down, he asked: "Editor Pang, since what I wrote... is very...
Oops, how can you pay it back?"
Pang Shibi sighed, put down his tea cup and said, "If your writing hadn't been so innovative, I wouldn't have bothered to come to you."
At this time, thanks to Beiyang's advocacy of martial arts to strengthen the country, martial arts novels had begun to emerge. The authors did not know what martial arts was, so they followed their own fantasies, and they still could not escape the framework of chivalrous novels.
Fei Jingting plagiarized "Tian Long Ba Bu", which is different. The martial arts are very fantastic, the characters jump out of the traditional categories, and the plot twists are also very exciting. However, the writing style is comparable to Meng Tong. Pang Shibi was beating the knots and cursing while watching, and his emotions were complicated. It was really
The two heavens of ice and fire.
After reading the beginning of the 30,000-word chapter, Pang Shibi couldn't sit still. He not only wanted to know the subsequent plot, but also wanted to scold the author in person, so he left the newspaper office early and blocked the door waiting for Fei Jingting to come home.
Fei Jingting secretly cursed that the editor of the Republic of China had such a bad temper that he would come to his house to scold him if he couldn't write well... It was already very difficult for him, an engineering student who wrote code, to be able to pick up a pen without forgetting his words. As for literary talent? Why don't we do it?
Let’s talk about Bose-Einstein condensate magnetons… and how to cultivate immortality without talking about it?
Fei Jingting poured tea for him: "The writing is vulgar and makes Mr. Pang laugh."
"I didn't laugh, but I was angry all afternoon."
"Mr. Pang, please forgive me. I have been studying abroad since I was a child and am good at engineering. Naturally, my Chinese studies skills have fallen behind."
"You're not left behind, you're not there at all."
Ouch! This guy’s mouth is too poisonous!
Perhaps seeing Fei Jingting being choked and speechless, Pang Shibi sighed: "What a great idea, what a pity... I came here this time to ask Mr. Fei if you can leave this idea to me so that I can polish it."
The text will be jointly signed after it is published, and all the royalties will be given to you, what do you think?"
That's a good thing.
Fei Jingting agreed: "Okay. But the royalties should be split in half."
Pang Shibi stared for a long time and then said: "You are really happy. You agreed before I even said a lot of words."
"I'm not good at words either, but I still have a lot of creative ideas. Instead of leaving them in vain, I would rather leave them to Mr. Pang to polish and publish them."
Pang Shibi was excited: "Okay! Then Mr. Fei will write out the subsequent plot and hand it over to me as soon as possible."
After saying that, Pang Shibi stood up to leave.
"Eh? Mr. Pang stays and has a meal before leaving."
Pang Shibi had already walked out a long way, waving his hands and saying: "No, no, I'll go back and write out the previous plot quickly. Otherwise, when I think back to what you wrote, I will feel blocked!"
Editor Pang left in a hurry, leaving Fei Jingting alone and messy at the door of the room.
Tsk...what the hell is this!
Come on, the road to literature is cut off, but I can still make some royalties. Cultivating Taoism pays attention to the foundation, character, and the law of wealth. Fei Jingting has the foundation and character. He also has cheating Taoism techniques, and the rest are all
The most lacking thing right now is obviously the first one: money!
It's quite enough for a good time traveler who cultivates immortality to live as a watch.
After gathering his thoughts, Fei Jingting got up and walked around the house for a while. The rice vat was empty, and there was only half a cabbage in the vegetable basket. Come on! Let's go out for dinner.
The sound of soft footsteps gradually approached, but it was Ni Qiufeng who walked in holding a pile of clothes.
"That man is gone? He was far away and I couldn't hear him clearly. Why do I feel that you two were quarreling?" Ni Qiufeng asked.
Fei Jingting smiled bitterly and said, "We're not arguing, we're just talking about something."
He didn't even say anything back, so how could it be considered a quarrel? At most, it was Pang Shibi's unilateral insult.
"Oh, that's good." Ni Qiufeng put the folded clothes in the cabinet, turned to look at Fei Jingting and said resentfully: "You didn't come back last night."
He went to catch monsters last night, but it was obviously inappropriate to say so.
"I went to a friend's house last night and got drunk, so we just spent the night together."
"Oh... please drink less." Ni Qiufeng glanced at Fei Jingting shyly, turned around and walked out of the room with small steps.
The beautiful girl glanced at him affectionately. How could Fei Jingting, a normal man, be indifferent? But he wanted to become an immortal and couldn't get close to women for the time being.
Distracted thoughts arose in his mind, and Fei Jingting hurriedly performed meditation exercises to calm them down. Opening his eyes again, Fei Jingting thought, it would be better to find an opportunity to explain clearly.
…………………………
There was nothing to say all night, and it was early the next morning.
Fei Jingting opened his eyes and muttered "sign in" silently.
"Ding! The sign-in reward host is a 'Permanent 28 Big Bang Bicycle', which has been stored in the portable space."
Bicycle? This thing is great, it saves you having to walk later.
Fei Jingting had a lot to do today, including writing lesson plans, teaching materials, and an outline for a novel. After all, 996,007 has been through it all, so there is nothing to complain about.
I went out to have breakfast, and when I came back I started writing at my desk. Referring to the "Physics" written by the Japanese, I first extracted the definitions and formulas, divided them into chapters according to force, heat, light, electricity, and magnetism, and then recalled what I had originally learned.
Learn and write slowly bit by bit.
When I get tired of writing, I change my mind, recall the plot of Tian Long Ba Bu, and make a concise outline.
Feeling hungry at noon, Fei Jingting stopped writing and planned to go out to buy some food.
At this time, I heard the second uncle in the courtyard shout: "Boy Fei, someone is looking for us again!"
Is there anyone else looking for you? Is Editor Pang so impatient?
He got up and went out, only to see the back of the second uncle walking away. Standing in the courtyard was a young man in green clothes and a small cap dressed as a servant. The young man looked at Fei Jingting carefully, stepped forward and said, "You are Mr. Fei Jingting."
?”
"Exactly."
"My young master invites you to come to the house tomorrow to have a chat. This is the invitation."
An invitation was handed over with both hands. Fei Jingting was dissatisfied with the neglect and quickly took it. When he unfolded it, he saw that it read:
"Sincerely, Mr. Fei Jian:
March 4th coincides with my wife’s birthday, so please
Welcome to visit us
Wilson Road Yuan Mansion
"
Fei Jingting was confused. Not to mention who this person was, what did his wife's birthday have to do with him?
Fei Jingting cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask who your master is?"
The servant said proudly: "Master."
"Eldest Young Master?"
The servant said: "Oh, besides my young master, who else in this world dares to call himself a eldest young master?"
After saying this, the servant gave a curt salute, turned around and left.
Fei Jingting stood there and thought for a long time, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out to be him."
But he had nothing to do with this cool guy, so how could he suddenly send him an invitation?
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know why. He couldn't even decide whether to go or not, so he simply didn't want to. He went out and found a noodle shop for a quick bite, and he kept writing after he came back.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Bendou ran around and saw nothing delicious. He pursed his lips and didn't even say "uncle". He turned around and ran out to play wildly.
I could vaguely hear Mr. Zhang Hu cursing endlessly, but I didn't know what was going on.
There was a knock on the door suddenly. Fei Jingting looked up and saw the owner of Buzhuang standing pretty at the door.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
"Can't I come?" Guan Xiyi stepped in, looked around, frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Fei is really simple."
"Oh, please sit down."
Although he didn't know why Guan Xiyi came to visit, Fei Jingting still got up to entertain him. After making tea and filling it, he asked: "Is the Guandong family coming to visit this time?"
"If nothing happens, can't I come to the door?" He glanced at Fei Jingting coquettishly, then smiled and said, "It's really something."
She said: "My mother had a close friend who came to my shop this morning to make clothes. I chatted with her for a while and mentioned your ability to catch monsters. Aunt Ma was surprised and then said that her family
Someone has contracted an evil disease. I will ask you to come over and check on him another day."
"Oh, whose family does this Aunt Ma belong to?"
"The eldest son's second concubine."
That's right! No wonder the treacherous and traitorous young master sent him an invitation. It turned out that he was asked to go there to see some evil diseases.
Seeing that Fei Jingting was thoughtful, Guan Xiyi said hurriedly: "Don't worry, with my Aunt Ma taking care of you, nothing will happen. Besides, her family is very rich."
It doesn't matter whether he has money or not. What matters is that Fei Jingting needs to catch monsters and ghosts in exchange for inspiration.
"I asked why the eldest son would send someone to deliver me an invitation at noon. So that's what happened."
Guan Xiyi suddenly said worriedly: "You...do you think I am nosy?"
"No, it's pretty good."
It's a good thing that someone is making a name for him. Once he becomes famous, people will naturally ask him to come and slay demons. All he needs to do is stay at home and wait. It's better than running around and visiting in the wind and sun.
I ran around a lot and didn't encounter any serious monsters.
"That's good." Guan Xiyi breathed a sigh of relief, turned her eyes smartly, and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"
I took a look at the sky and saw that the sun was setting in the west. Smoke was rising from the kitchen in the courtyard. It was already time for dinner.
"I've been busy writing and didn't look at the time. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."
"It's too expensive to go out to eat, why don't I buy some food and cook it for you."
"Too much trouble."
"No trouble, just wait, I'll go buy groceries now."
Unable to stop shouting, Guan Xiyi left in a hurry.
No matter how stupid Fei Jingting is, he still understands that the female owner of this cloth shop seems to be interested in him. She is a nice person and has good looks. The problem is... Guan Xiyi seems to be a widow too!
There was Ni Qiufeng in the front, Xiyi in the back, and his surname was Fei Jingting, and his surname was not Cao, so why were there so many widows posted there?
