Moonlight Variations

After receiving the interview result notification, Chuli was asked to start work immediately on the first day of the following month. She spent the remaining half a month finding a place to stay in this city—a location a bit remote for more than forty flats but better than a clean bachelor apartment...and then looked forward to it like a bride to be married. The arrival of April 1st.

The night before I officially entered the job, I didn’t sleep well at the beginning of the night. I notified all my friends and relatives that I had joined the Yuanyue Club. I also knocked on the little Bailian who she has been a fan of for ten years. The best book

In short, the circle that is full of longing for, finally has the joy of stepping into it.

…

At the dawn of the next day, Chuli jumped up to wash and clean up, and then followed the route that she had checked and reviewed several times in silence, and hurriedly rushed to the building that she had just visited not long ago.

When passing by the exhibition cabinet of Yuanyueshe works in the lobby on the first floor, Chuli could not help but slow down and glanced at it more: a publishing house, only the fine books produced are eligible to appear on the display cabinet-Chuli Li hopes that one day, there will be one or several self-made books on it.

………Although she saw the skinny of reality within an hour after making this wish—

Chuli gathered in the meeting room with other newcomers who passed the interview, and when she waited for the heads of the various departments of the Yuanyue Club to lead the people, she was a little excited-at this time, she still seemed to be dreaming and couldn't believe that she was about to be like this. Become the editor of Yuanyue News Agency—until she found that people around her were called until their names were taken away, and finally she was left alone, and when she began to feel uneasy about this, she finally saw a person not far away stepping on high heels, slowly Pushed the door and walked in.

When he saw that person’s face clearly, Chuli’s little excitement was replaced by "whatsthef*ck"—the person was not someone else, and it was the person who was very anxious and went home for dinner that day and asked her if she could do it at 1,800 yuan a month. Dry lady.

It is worthy of April 1st, and the scene in front of me has a corresponding holiday effect—I saw that the lady who was late at this time did not seem to be surprised that there was only one person left in the conference room looking up at her stupidly, she was not in a hurry Slowly walked to Chuli: "Chuli?"

Chuli jumped up from the chair with a "wow": "Hello, I am—"

Ms.: "My name is Yu Yao. I am the editor-in-chief of the new issue of "Moonlight". Welcome to join our editorial team."

Chu Li was stunned: ""Moonlight"?"

Not "Star Trails"?

Yu Yao picks and draws delicate eyebrows.

Chu Li: "Moonlight! So happy!"

Yu Yao lowered his eyes and ignored the strange ending sound, handed out the contract, turned the first page, and said in a flat voice, "The trial period is tentatively set for two months, and both parties will stop it at any time. Right-you can leave at any time; I can also decide whether you are converted at any time. The monthly salary during the internship period is tentatively set at 2,500 yuan, the full attendance award is 100 yuan, and the daily meal supplement is 10 yuan. After all, the sunset industry is difficult to earn, you is that OK?"

Chu Li was full of black question mark faces, and Mr. l’s brainwashed "I'm going to close down, I'm going to close down, I'm going to close down", and while accepting the contract, he smiled forcibly, "......no problem." , Really, "Moonlight"! So happy!"

The contract was signed in this way.

Because Chuli was already so poor that he couldn't afford it, he immediately fled home and hugged his mother's thighs to become the train ticket that didn't want to go up and waste.

…

Ten minutes later, Chuli stood in front of the office at the end of the corridor where he had lost his way and bumped into the fox-the small blackboard is still the small blackboard, but the office is no longer empty at this time, and there are scattered about five people sitting inside. six people.

There is a fish tank at the entrance of the office. There are more than a dozen parrot fish in the fish tank. When Yao entered, he dumped a scavenger fish that had been kept in a separate tank for a period of time to adapt to the environment. Chuli felt that it had fallen into a pile of parrot fish. The trembling scavenger fish resembles the newcomer-

…Uh.

Seeing the arrival of new colleagues, although the people in the office seemed uninterested, they barely lifted their eyelids to greet Chuli—

"Ah, is there a newcomer? I didn’t even know that this time I’m hiring people, I’m going to cram people here? Really, it’s already crowded enough. It seems that the position next to me has to be contributed. Where can I put it? Fendi, who came back on the purchase order only on weekends!"

a: Lao Miao, the deputy editor-in-chief, a **** and **** man who is in a very bad mood today. He is in his early thirties and looks good at dressing up—Lao Miao is the main person in charge of novel manuscripts in "Moonlight" magazine. He introduces himself. The authors under his team include Shu Chuan, Heng Suo, Hippo, Nian Nian and other great gods... Lao Miao sits under Yu Yao’s eyelids, next to Chu Li;

"Is it a literary editor? I'm an American editor, Ah Xiang, um, that's it."

b: The American editor Axiang, wearing glasses to be silent, loves to giggle, looks patient.

"My last name is Li, just call me Lao Li."

c: The American editor Li, male, looks pretty old-fashioned when he is thirty years old and up.

"Rookie... I'm half a rookie too, just call me a bird!"

d: A half-new editor Xiaoniao, who joined Chuli for a month and a half earlier, has long curly hair, a Mori girl, speaks very quietly, and blushes easily;

The new colleagues have different styles, the only thing in common is that they are very cold.

everyone.

-This is probably a magazine that will make people with social phobia feel more warm.

Chuli complained in her heart and sat down next to Lao Miao according to the instructions. What entered her nose was the smell of men's cologne. She turned her head to look at Lao Miao, and then met Lao Miao's gaze. Chu Li Sit up straight: "Associate Editor!"

Lao Miao: "Don't call me bureaucratic, just call me Lao Miao."

While talking, Lao Miao unceremoniously threw her a few URLs plus a unified account password, and told her that today’s job is to sort out the reader’s private messages from the official Weibo and the backstage of the "Moonlight" dedicated magazine mailbox, and select them. Valuable mails are organized and submitted separately.

Lao Miao: "If you don't understand, you can ask."

Chu Li: "Oh! Okay!"

Even if your tone sounds like I dare to ask, you dare to break my neck.

Chuli wanted to ask if the submission mailbox was used for submissions, but due to the attitude of Lao Miao, she still chose to shut her mouth obediently before doing the work, and swallowed the questions she wanted to ask: If the mailbox is full of manuscripts , What else can be called "valuable" mail, and what is called "no value" mail?

…But then she quickly understood the definition of the latter.

As soon as she opened the magazine’s exclusive mailbox, a number like "99" caught her eye, and she hurriedly scanned her eyes. Chuli found that the mail in the magazine submission mailbox was definitely more than just submission. On average, there would be 20 emails. There is a serious submission, and the rest are messy other emails. The types can be roughly divided into three categories—

The first type, simply ask the road-back cubs to find cubs:

"Hello, Dad, do I submit articles to this mailbox if I submit articles to the magazine";

"May I ask the magazine submission mailbox";

"Where can I submit a manuscript";

"What is your manuscript fee standard, and how do you submit it?";

"How to submit a manuscript";

—For this kind of people, Chuli kindly copied and pasted: Hello, just send the submission to this mailbox, thank you (≧w≦)! !

The second category, show off writing style:

"Hello, I am an author. Can I contribute to your magazine with writing like this: [In this sad and bright March, I stood by the classroom window and saw the sunset pouring in from the window, and the playground outside the window. As if isolated in the silence of another world, the fine dust was shattered in time]...";

"Hello, I have a sample at the beginning of the draft, I don’t know if I can get the editor’s advice: [A person will eventually become a person in his life, and I will eventually be left alone on this road. I hug With my precious memories, I walked and stopped all the way, remembering the beauty that he once had... But I was afraid that when I finally came to the end of this road one day, I found that the things I was afraid of forgotten had already been lost. I forgot. Fear swallowed me.]..."

"Hello, do you collect poems and essays here? Here is a poem: [Mingyue clears the moon and the shadow returns, a few people under the peony flower]..."

-For this kind of people, Chuli chose to ignore it from "wow" to "I fucking" to the end of aesthetic fatigue, numbness and expressionless expression.

The third category is to ask the author about life and death—this kind of angle is pretty tricky. Chu Li is not sure whether to reply or ignore it, so he has to ask the old seedling who sits next to her and gives the job to her without shame...

Chuli craned her neck and lowered her voice: "Lao Miao, let me ask you a question. It's like this reader said, "I am a big fan of Menglu, and the first issue of "Moonlight" magazine published our big short story. She never showed up again, may I ask where she went', how should I answer?"

Lao Miao's mouse clicked and clicked and stopped: "You can answer her, besides she wants to see the cute donkey, there is no other person who wants to see the author again, the cute donkey is no longer The reason for appearing in our magazine is probably because of this."

First gift: "..."

Chuli: "Then there is this. Ask Hiukawa, how high is Hiukawa? What books do you like to read? Is there a reading list for newcomers or middle school students?"

After Chu Li finished speaking, I don’t know why the entire editorial department suddenly became quiet. Everyone including Mr. Yao raised their heads and looked at Chu Li—as if what she just asked was the color of the underwear that Lao Miao was wearing today. .

Chu Li: "???"

Chu Li chuckles in his heart and feels that something is wrong. He smiled nervously and quickly added: "Are these questions okay? I heard that Mr. Hikawa is very good. Readers usually ask him about these questions on Weibo. He will occasionally reply, if it is a question from a magazine—"

Shouldn't it be answered more?

Before Chu Li was finished, Lao Miao let go of the mouse, and the swivel chair under his buttocks turned around to face Chu Li. The person sitting in the chair lifted Erlang's legs and looked up and down Chu Li. Then he smiled and waved to Chu Li: "You come."

Chuli stood up anxiously and came behind Lao Miao, then watched Lao Miao open his q, then found a person named "Zhou Chuan" and started typing—

[Meow meow: Teacher Hikawa, our newcomer has a question, please, I want to ask you, can you answer it? Mostly tall? What books do you like to read? Is there a reading list for new authors or middle school students? 】

Lao Miao finished typing and left the keyboard with both hands.

A few seconds later, the computer screen that Chuli was staring at □□ popped up in the dialog box—

[Hirukawa: Are you free? 】

[Zikawa: Understand black? 】

[Jiuchuan: Middle school students read the book list? "Dragon. Yang Eighteen Forms." 】

Lao Miao: "Look."

Chu Li: "……………………"

Look at the yarn.

Chuli: "This can't be Shirakawa."

Lao Miao's gaze at Chu Li instantly changed to a gaze that cared for the mentally retarded.
