Chapter 20: Mei Wenhua: The world's number one Wei Ming fan!
Seeing that everyone present was stunned by him, Mei Wenhua couldn't help but feel proud, even a little arrogant.
He pointed at them one by one, from Mi Qing, to Editor-in-chief Xiong, and even Liu Zhenyun who was hiding behind Zhang Dening.
"You Peking University talents, count one by one, including Chen Jiangong who isn't here, none of you have published articles in 'Harvest,' right? And you still have the nerve to look down on this, look down on that. You simply underestimate the heroes of the world, I spit!"
He spoke righteously, with an expression of disdain to be associated with these people, feeling like Qiao Feng in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils."
Mei Wenhua thought these people would lower their heads in shame, but after a brief silence, they actually laughed again.
They were all high-quality people and generally wouldn't laugh unless they really couldn't help it.
Mi Qing directly wrote disdain on her face: "Just you, publishing articles in 'Harvest'? I think you're having a delusion."
The crowd, who were originally covering their mouths and laughing, laughed even louder, and some even started holding their stomachs and laughing.
Mei Wenhua was stunned and hurriedly said: "I didn't say me, I'm talking about the brother in our dormitory. His novel has already been recognized by 'Harvest,' and they even wrote him a letter asking him to go to the Magic City to revise the manuscript!"
Everyone still didn't believe it, and the laughter continued.
Seeing them like this, Mei Wenhua was furious. Is what I say so unconvincing!
"Don't laugh, be serious! This brother of mine has received manuscript fees before, he is very powerful!"
In order to regain his face and prove that there are capable people among gatekeepers, Mei Wenhua spared no effort to become Wei Ming's trumpeter.
"He is really that kind of genius writer. He finished the first short story in one night, didn't change a word, and it was published directly. And this time, a novella, he finished it in one week! The editor of 'Harvest' blew it up in the letter!"
The crowd still looked like they didn't believe it. Looking at their expressions, Mei Wenhua finally felt the huge communication barrier brought by status. They didn't believe a word he said.
At this time, someone even suggested that if this security guard continued to pester, they would call the security guards.
In this situation, Mei Wenhua felt extremely aggrieved, and his eyes turned red.
Just as he was about to walk out of this sad place, he suddenly heard someone shout "Wait a minute," and it was two voices!
Liu Zhenyun and Zhang Dening looked at each other, and the two spoke in unison.
Liu Zhenyun hurriedly said: "You speak first."
"Okay," Zhang Dening looked at Mei Wenhua, "Since your colleague writes so fast, finishing a novella in a week, does he have any unpublished works now?"
Mei Wenhua was overjoyed that someone actually believed him. This editor really has an eye for talent!
"Yes, yes, he is writing a novel about a cow. Before he wrote about a donkey, now he is writing about a cow, and it's almost finished. Believe me, you won't be wrong. He is very powerful, much stronger than these Peking University Chinese Department students who have names but no reality!"
Zhang Dening: "Uh, actually I also graduated from the Peking University Chinese Department."
Mei Wenhua: "..."
"Senior Sister, don't believe him, this person is full of nonsense."
"Right, right, he doesn't look honest at all."
"Sister Ning, I know you are short of manuscripts, but you can't go to the doctor in a hurry."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt to go and see," Zhang Dening then looked at Liu Zhenyun, "Little Liu, do you have anything to say?"
Liu Zhenyun had only one question: "This comrade, is the colleague you mentioned named Wei Ming?"
The eyes behind Mei Wenhua's glasses widened, and then he took a few quick steps and held Liu Zhenyun's hand: "You've heard of his name?"
Liu Zhenyun was a little embarrassed by this guy, but still nodded: "We know each other."
Hearing that Liu Zhenyun actually knew this person, everyone was very surprised.
Several girls in his class also reacted: "Liu Zhenyun, is it the Nanmen security guard you know?"
"The one who is tall and handsome, comparable to Ken Takakura?" "No, he's better looking than Ken Takakura!"
"It seems Zhenyun said it, his name is Wei Ming, and he quite matches our 'Weiminghu'."
Liu Zhenyun nodded, and he said fairly: "If this comrade is talking about Wei Ming, then it's true. I saw him submit his manuscript to 'Harvest' with my own eyes. I don't know if it was accepted, but he had already received manuscript fees before. He is a very powerful and talented young man."
"Oh right," he remembered something else and added, "Comrade Wei Ming's English level can fluently communicate with foreign students." Although he hadn't heard it, he blew it first.
Hearing this, the whole audience was silent, including Mei Wenhua.
Mei Wenhua: Good for you, Wei Ming, you didn't even tell me you could speak a foreign language. Did you not treat me as a brother!
Looking at Liu Zhenyun's face of being proud to know Wei Ming, Mei Wenhua was unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly said:
"That's right, our Wei Ming is such a low-key genius. He is good at novels, fairy tales, and foreign languages. Poetry is also not a problem, and he can even write scripts and lyrics."
Just blow it. Anyway, novels and scripts are about the same, and poetry and lyrics are not much different, but it sounds particularly versatile, and people particularly want to meet him.
Zhang Dening was completely energized. She didn't expect that such a great talent was hidden in the temporary worker team of Peking University!
She grabbed Mei Wenhua's arm and said: "Go, go, go, hurry up and take me to meet this Mr. Wei!"
"Weiminghu" editor-in-chief Old Xiong hurriedly patted Liu Zhenyun and asked him to follow: "Ask your friend if he is willing to submit to 'Weiminghu'."
!
After the three of them left, the people at the scene were silent for a while, and then someone started, and an enthusiastic discussion about Wei Ming broke out.
Once mentioned, it turned out that many people had an impression of the tall and handsome security guard at the Nanmen, but they didn't expect that under such a handsome skin, there was such a talented soul!
However, Mei Wenhua and his party didn't find Wei Ming at the Nanmen. They said he hadn't returned after leaving.
Instead, they met Captain Qiao, whose identity as the leader of the school security team confirmed that what Mei Wenhua said was true.
"Right, the leave has already been requested, and he is about to go to the Magic City."
Liu Zhenyun had to leave for the time being, but Zhang Dening decided to wait after asking about Wei Ming's shift time.
About an hour later, Wei Ming returned with a few books.
Without even needing anyone to point him out, Zhang Dening guessed it should be him.
Sure enough, he stood out from the crowd!
"Right, I am Wei Ming, and you are?" Wei Ming didn't know what had happened.
Zhang Dening first introduced her identity and background, and then briefly explained that she heard he was writing novels, had achieved some results, and had been favored by "Harvest," so she wanted to solicit manuscripts for "Yanjing Literature and Art."
Hearing that someone was actively soliciting manuscripts, Wei Ming was happy. Communicating face-to-face with editors can greatly improve the acceptance rate and also give room for negotiation on manuscript fees.
Although "Yanjing Literature and Art" cannot compare with "Harvest" and "People's Literature," it also has a long history.
The first editor-in-chief of this publication, which was later renamed "Yanjing Literature," was Lao She, and it was also the birthplace of Cao Yu's work "Thunderstorm." At the current stage, its fame is still above the new generation like "Contemporary" and "October," so it is definitely not a loss of status.
"But I'm sorry, I'm about to go on duty, and I'm not used to letting others see unfinished works."
"Then when can you finish writing?"
Wei Ming thought for a while: "Tomorrow."
Zhang Dening laughed: "Okay, then I'll come again tomorrow!"
Zhang Dening came again tomorrow, but Liu Zhenyun came at night, and even the boys and girls in their class came together, wanting to meet the great talent certified by "Harvest," and some people wanted to test his English level.
Unfortunately, they didn't come at the right time. Wei Ming was off duty and not in the dormitory.
At this time, Wei Ming was in Uncle Ping'an's house directing his aunt to step on the sewing machine, and Ping'an and Xile were also watching...
