Chen Qing looked up at Liang Han at the door, smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him, "I have something to do with you, please sit down."
After saying that, he walked towards the sofa. After the two sat down, Chen Qing said, "I know your habit of drinking tea, so I won't make you tea. Are you busy at the magazine these two days?"
The boss asked if he was busy at work, which was not easy to answer. It didn’t seem right to say he was busy or not, but Liang Han was an old man and said with a smile, "I can handle the work in the magazine, Mr. Chen."
What are your orders?"
"We can't talk about it, so I want to discuss something with you. The boss called me this morning and asked me if I could open a column in the magazine."
"Column? Is it for the boss's own use?" Liang Han's eyes lit up and he asked.
Chen Qing shook his head, "I didn't use it myself. I said a few students made an academic report. It was quite long."
Hearing that it was for students, Liang Han's enthusiasm dropped a lot, but he did not mince words about the column. He said truthfully, "Of course you can open a column, but the length of each issue cannot be too large, otherwise it will affect other works.
Publish. I haven’t seen these academic reports, but since they are recommended by the boss, there should be no problem. How about this, Mr. Chen, I will give you two pages at the end of the next issue, what do you think?"
"Okay, two pages are enough. For the time being, the manuscript fee will be three hundred per thousand words. You are only responsible for publishing. The editorial department at the headquarters will take care of other matters. Also, let me tell you, the column matter should not be
In the short term, maybe this column will become a regular column in "Zero Zero One", so be prepared." Chen Qing said.
Liang Han nodded, "I understand."

At the opening ceremony of Shizhong College, both Zhang Zhong and Wen Han went up and gave brief speeches.
The freshmen expected Zhang Zhong to say something inspiring, but to their disappointment, Zhang Zhong only said some commonplace things, which were nothing more than studying hard, making progress every day, paying attention to safety, and paying attention to unity.
The welcome party was organized by the students themselves, Zhang Zhong and the others did not attend.
On September 12, the new issue of "Zero Zero One" will be released.
Some readers found that this issue of "Zero Zero One" is a little different from previous issues because there is an extra column. The theme of the column is "Exploration", and the first issue of the column contains an article titled "The Holy Grail and the
The revealing article of "Holy Blood".
This article does not look like a novel, but like a documentary report, telling the story of several young people traveling across Europe to explore the secrets of treasures.
However, when reading, the focus of the article is not the treasure, but the subversive secrets involved in the treasure.
The content of the first issue was not much, and many people were not satisfied with it, so they went to the Internet to search for the meaning of the Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. After searching, they found out that the Holy Blood refers to the Holy Body and Blood of Jesus, and the Holy Grail is the Holy Body and Blood of Jesus.
Refers to the cup of Christ.
Many readers who have read "The Da Vinci Code" feel a little familiar after reading this article, because some of the things mentioned in it are closely related to the story of "The Da Vinci Code".
Coupled with the relationship between "Zero Zero One" magazine and Zhang Zhong, some people naturally connected this article with "The Da Vinci Code".
[Is this an extended interpretation of "The Da Vinci Code"? 】
[I think it should be a novel similar to a biography based on "The Da Vinci Code".]
[Upstairs is saying that everything in it is fictitious? 】
【Isn't it?】
【Looks quite real.】
[Didn’t you see the small preface written by the author at the front of the article? The content in the article is testable, and they found a lot of evidence for this.]
[Perhaps the short preface is also a literary device? 】
[Whatever, I think it’s interesting to watch.]
【It's quite interesting, and it would be even more interesting if it were true.】
[Do you think this was written by Zhang Zhong himself? 】
[Probably not, obviously Zhang Zhong’s writing ability is stronger. 】
[You can’t say that. After all, it is documentary-like literature, and it can be understood with some concise language. And maybe Zhang Zhong just doesn’t want you to think of him.]
[This is impossible, because I know all the authors. They are all my classmates. They are all in the same dormitory. After reading the article, I asked them. They did go to Europe and they all got tanned. 】
【It’s not Africa, why do you get tanned?】
[Aren’t you talking nonsense? It’s not like there is no sun in Europe. Try running around every day.]
【Which school are you from?】
【From Shizhong College.】
【Oh, no wonder.】
…
The publication of "Holy Grail and Holy Blood" caused a lot of heated discussion. Readers also figured out that these young people were students studying at Shizhong College, and also found out that the reason why they wrote this article was
Because Zhang Zhong had told them the Rosicrucian Manifesto in class before.
However, for the time being, this column has only attracted the attention of some Chinese readers and has not had a huge impact.
Moreover, Chinese readers themselves don’t know much about these mystical sciences in Europe, so they just watch the fun.
On September 22, "Holy Grail and Holy Blood" serialized into its second issue.
But people paid more attention to another novel in the magazine.
Zhang Zhong's new book "Yellow Card Man" is officially launched in the Chinese version and the English version "Zero One".
Before this short story was published in "Zero Zero One", there was no publicity at all. All Zhang Zhong's readers were still waiting for "The Wind-up Girl", but they did not expect that when they bought the new magazine, they found out that there was an article in it.
Heavy novel.
The protagonist of the story is an old man named Chen Fusheng, a yellow card holder.
A yellow card person, as the name suggests, is a person holding a yellow card. This is a small yellow book used by some Chinese to prove their identity.
After reading the whole novel, it makes people a little confused. It seems that nothing special is said, and there seems to be a lot of things that are not explained.
Moreover, people can feel that the world where Chen Fusheng lives should have a huge and complete world view, which cannot be explained clearly in a short story.
But people also discovered that "The Yellow Card Man" mentioned the clockwork man several times, and also mentioned a clockwork girl.
Apparently this short story is related to the upcoming "Clockwork Girl".
It seems that Zhang Zhong released this novel at this time in order to give people an appetizer before the big meal, so that everyone can understand "The Wind-up Girl" more quickly.
Some readers have tried to analyze the world view of "The Wind-up Girl" from this short story. Although "The Yellow Card Man" does not explain clearly, it also reveals many details, enough for readers with open minds to start their imaginations.
