Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 115 Goodbye Sprout
"It's time to let you know that the world is dangerous. Don't think that the world will become kind after you travel through time."

Gu Lu had experience in a factory in his previous life. There was a colleague in the factory who loved to tell tales, causing others to have their wages deducted for nothing, although he did not get any money and others did not offend him.

There is no need for a reason to trip someone up. Gu Lu made some inferences, but was still unwilling to easily assume the worst of others. Perhaps it was not a 100% editing problem, and there might be other factors.

But if he couldn't afford to offend, he couldn't avoid it? Gu Lu decisively used his connections in the circle. Not long after, Lao Li, the deputy editor of "Story Club" who had a wide range of social connections, gave him a new place to go.

[Mu Ziyi: Are there still problems with these two stories? When did Mengya become so elegant in aesthetics? Submit it to Youth Digest. I know the deputy editor-in-chief of Youth Digest.]
[Juchang: Youth Digest is a literary magazine, right?]

If Gu Lu remembered correctly, this publication was sponsored by Hua Xia Qing Tuanzi, with the purpose of "focusing on promoting advanced culture and serving and guiding young people."

Lao Li knows all about other magazines. Youth Digest has columns "Reading Club" and "Heartbeat Theater". The former collects imaginative writings, while the latter collects science fiction, suspense, and horror stories. Both columns can accept "Yesterday's Park" and "Moonstone".

Indeed, this involves Gu Lu's blind spot in knowledge. He has always believed that publications such as digests are mainly literary.

[Mu Ziyi: Actually, Mr. Gu, if you had submitted the short story you submitted to Story Club to Youth Digest, you might have had a chance to set a record.]
Isn't he an undercover agent sent to Story Club by other magazines?
But then again, if given another chance, Gu Lu would still choose "Story Club" because the third review of other magazines is too slow.

Even though Story Club has three reviews and one discussion, which is more steps than other magazines, its review speed is still far ahead!

At that time, the first priority was to make money to support my life.

Gu Lu continued the conversation following what Lao Li said, "Is it about creating a record of having a work published in Youth Digest?"

[Mu Ziyi: The youngest... I don’t think many people have counted this. I’m talking about the color version of the cover.]
The color edition and the regular edition are twins, but the color edition's cover is very important. The editorial department will invite famous painters to paint the cover, and the themes are the most prominent writers, scientists, athletes, cities, topics, etc.

In other words, before the digest turned to WeChat public accounts in 2016, the influence of the color cover of Youth Digest was equivalent to the cover of the Chinese version of "Time" magazine.

Gu Lu also searched online. To be on the cover, one must appear in one of the three columns of the magazine: "Color People", "Color Focus" and "Fashion Color".

"The character in the last color version was Li Xueling, the founder of YY Voice." Gu Lu also used YY Voice when playing games before.

Going back, the previous writer to be interviewed was Liu Zhenyun... Feeling the pressure, the current Liu has already written "Cell Phone", "A Lot of Nonsense" and "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences".

Mr. Holmes and The Little Prince were published one after another. If I am lucky enough to win The Strange Man in the World, can I compete? Gu Lu thought to himself.

[Mu Ziyi: From a story writer to a cover character of Youth Digest, I just want to ask who else!]

Old Li watched Gu Lu move forward step by step, so he was very confident, even more confident than Gu Lu himself.

Young man, become a great writer!

The reason why he is so confident in it is that after working as an editor for so many years, a sentence in "Guan Zi" is the one that left the deepest impression on him.

"Some pilots got here by somersaulting their planes from a precise location in the Bermuda Triangle. Some housewives got here by climbing through the backs of kitchen cupboards; some mathematicians discovered ..."

Going to heaven, according to the secular understanding, means dying. However, Guanzi does not comfort people by saying "It doesn't matter if you die, you can go to heaven and enjoy happiness", but rather "You don't need to die to go to heaven, there are all kinds of strange passages", which has a kind of decadent warmth.

Combined with what Lao Li knew, Teacher Gu's family environment was not good. He lived in a gutter, and even though he had never seen the sun, he kept telling people how warm the sun was.

Whenever he thought of this, Lao Li was deeply shocked.

"It's a pity that I didn't stick to this style of writing. The subsequent articles..." At this point, Lao Li hit himself on the head with a lump of skin, quite hard.

"It's all your fault. You talked about storytelling and made a good style of writing disappear! Li Jiangyue, Li Jiangyue, you are the biggest executioner in the literary circle!" Old Li scolded himself.

Gu Lu was chatting with Lao Li, and he didn't know that Lao Li was hitting himself. "Send! If I can become a contracted writer for Youth Digest, I don't have to go to evening self-study anymore." Gu Lu was a little happy, and his legs were curled up in the chair.

"Moonstone" and "Yesterday's Park" were submitted to Youth Digest's deputy editor-in-chief Qu. There is no need to reveal who introduced them to submit the articles, because if they did, it would give the impression of trying to gain fame.

It is impossible to revise the manuscript, and it is impossible to change the logic of the work in this lifetime.

Gu Lu is no longer serving me, see you in "Mengya"!
All six articles in "Selected Works of Zhuchuan Mototo" can be serialized, and it is the most utilized short story collection so far.

"Ding ding ding--" the cell phone alarm rang, and Gu Lu's expression changed.

"Oh no, it's too late." Gu Lu didn't even have time to reply and ran out of the house in a hurry.

A new hotpot fish restaurant opened near my home. When it opened, they hired a gong and drum team, which included waist drums, big drums, small gongs, large cymbals, and other instruments.

There was a parade with drums and gongs, and some people were holding "billboards". Gu Lu remembered the time of the grand opening sale, with a 3.8% discount on all items. He was going to give it a try. One has to live a good life alone and not let himself be wronged.

The hotpot fish restaurant closes at 12:30 at night. It was almost ten o'clock when Gu Lu got home. He chatted with Lao Li, and half an hour passed in a flash.

The hotpot fish is delicious.

Tonight, Gu Lu slept later than usual because he ate more. Sleep will not disappear for no reason, it will be converted into game time, food...

The next day, early Friday morning.

"Here, this is a little flower for you. This flower has a name, it seems to be called Guiren." Lu Ping's hair was soaked with sweat. He would take one day every week to come to school early, he was indeed self-disciplined.

He took out a small potted plant from his bag. In the potted plant was a sweet-scented osmanthus flower, which looked extremely beautiful.

"?" Gu Lu silently took a step back.

What's going on? What do you think when a man gives osmanthus flowers to another man? I have to say that he is a little scared.

The key point is that the honey badger didn’t lower his volume, so the whole class heard it, and all the eyes he cast were full of curiosity.

What's the matter?
"My dad went back and told me how awesome you were. My mom scolded me first, and then my dad said he had made an agreement with you to teach me how to write essays." Lu Ping said, "Then my mom found out and asked you to bring me a gift to thank me."

Gu Lu thought about it. He had a few words with Mr. Lu after the parent-teacher meeting yesterday. At that time, he thought it was just a polite remark, but he didn't expect that he would send him a gift the next time. It shows that he is very proactive.

"My family runs a flower shop, and the sweet osmanthus flowers happened to be in bloom recently, so my mother asked me to bring them to you to congratulate you on your academic success." Lu Ping explained.

It would be inappropriate to give money directly as gifts to children's classmates, and snacks would not seem serious, so Lu's mother chose osmanthus, which has special meaning.

Adults are very particular.
