Chapter 35: Criminal Buster Wei Ming

After reading this novel, Professor Qu said: "Just change a few minor details and it can be published directly."

"Okay, you say."

After revising, Wei Ming let Sister Chen Chong look it over. She had many emotions; sure enough, talent was needed to write novels!

Her own talent was a bit worse; she only caught a glimpse of the path at the age of 40. She didn't know when her eldest son, who also loved literature, would be able to get started.

"It just so happens I've almost finished revising too. The two of us have been burying our heads in writing manuscripts these past few days. Why don't we go out and play tomorrow?"

Professor Qu said: "Count me in. I don't have a meeting tomorrow."

In addition, Professor Qu said she had borrowed a camera from her maiden home and could take pictures for everyone.

"And they are color photos."

Hearing this, Wei Ming got energized. He hadn't even taken a color photo yet!

In fact, there weren't many black-and-white ones either. His family was struggling, and every time they took a photo, it was almost a big event. Before coming to Jingcheng, he had participated in fewer than ten photos, and he only had one solo photo.

"Tomorrow is tomorrow's business. Let's talk about the submission first. Who should I submit such a small article to?"

"The level of this text might be difficult for *Harvest*. It's not that it's not good, it's just that *Harvest* is the bridgehead of serious literature, and this novel is too cheerful. Moreover, you are already in line at *Harvest*, so at least they won't publish your articles again recently. But *Jingcheng Literature* and *Modu Literature* shouldn't be difficult," Chen Chong said.

Professor Qu laughed: "He is also in line at *Jingcheng Literature*. Actually, I think it's worth considering newspapers."

"Newspapers?"

"Yes." Professor Qu returned to her room and brought over a copy of *Wenhui Daily*.

This *Wenhui Daily* could be considered one of the top newspapers in Shanghai. Now the circulation of each issue was around 500,000, and it had a very long history. It had been suspended many times due to its anti-Japanese stance and opposition to the civil war, and later restarted.

In the middle, it had also split off a *Wenhui Daily* in Hong Kong. Although the two were not affiliated now, they were of the same origin. The Hong Kong *Wenhui Daily* and *Ta Kung Pao* were also the two major left-wing newspaper giants in Hong Kong.

In recent years, besides promoting policies, *Wenhui Daily* had also published some very weighty literary works. *Scar*, which defined scar literature, was first published in *Wenhui Daily*.

In addition, *Wenhui Daily* was also the first major newspaper to stand up and support commercial advertising. Its newspaper style had always been very open and inclusive.

It was precisely because of *Wenhui Daily*'s stance on advertising that Professor Qu felt that submitting to *Wenhui Daily* would definitely pass.

"And aren't you short of money? *Wenhui Daily* has one issue every day, so the arrangement might be faster."

Wei Ming accepted Professor Qu's suggestion: "That's it!"

In order not to let middlemen earn the price difference, he directly borrowed a bicycle from the guesthouse and ran to *Wenhui Daily* to submit the manuscript face-to-face. Besides the Beijing address, he also left the guesthouse's phone number.

Then the next day, Wei Ming, Professor Qu, and Sister Chen began a one-day tour of Modu.

Jingcheng, Peking University.

Zhao Debiao counted the days. Brother Ming had been gone for how many days? Oh, the fourth day.

Without Brother Ming, the days were truly like years. Even Mei Wenhua wasn't as active as before.

At this moment, he was still at his post, but his heart had already flown to the Great Modu with Wei Ming, and flown to Jin Yong's martial arts world.

Suddenly, he saw Mei Wenhua dressed brightly and beautifully, pushing a bicycle to go out, and his hair was greased until it shone. At a glance, one could tell he had used Brylcreem.

"Melancholy beautiful man, just finished the night shift, what are you going to do?" Mei Wenhua's poetry manuscript had been snatched back by him and spread among colleagues, so "Melancholy beautiful man" became his code name.

Mei Wenhua shook his hair: "There is a poetry recitation meeting at Yuyuantan Park today; I have to go participate!"

"No, you haven't given up on poetry yet?" Biaozi was amused.

"It's not writing poetry, just reciting. My voice foundation is still quite good," Mei Wenhua said, "And isn't there Wei Ming's *Ideal*? Once this poem comes out, it will definitely suppress the whole audience!"

He had thought Wei Ming would write poetry, but he hadn't expected him to write so well! Compared to those misty poems that he felt "I could do it too," in his view, Wei Ming's poems, which were neatly matched and catchy to read, had technical content.

Mei Wenhua thought, taking advantage of the fact that this poem was only spreading in Peking University and Tsinghua University and hadn't spread far, he was determined to show off. At that time, he would say this was created by his little brother.

He heard that students from the Film Academy were also participating in this event. Those were all future actors, especially actresses. If things went well, he might be able to get a few contact numbers from them and then make friends through poetry.

He certainly wouldn't keep these contact numbers to himself. At that time, Wei Ming would get one, he would get one, Biaozi would get one, he would get one, Brother Feng would get one, he would get one.

Hehe~

Mei Wenhua rode away, leaving only a string of silver-bell-like laughter.

Just after he left, Liu Zhenyun came again.

This guy had been running three times a day for the past two days. No way, the girls were all waiting to receive guests.

"Brother Wei hasn't returned yet?"

"Not yet. It should take at least a week," Biaozi replied.

Liu Zhenyun could only leave regretfully. Just a few steps away, he saw Senior Sister Cha Jianying and her group, and they seemed to be in a great mood.

Cen Xianqing also told Liu Zhenyun: "Our protest was successful!"

!

Originally, the school newspaper decided to publish the poem *Ideal* tomorrow. This matter was known to the *Weiminghu* editorial department, so several female editors took the lead in protesting: This was clearly discovered by us first; why did you snatch our first publication rights!

Finally, a consensus was reached: the school newspaper would change to publish *Ideal* in the National Day issue on October 1st.

It just so happened that the first issue of *Weiminghu* was also officially released on that day, which could be considered a dual-publication debut.

Liu Zhenyun was also happy, and then found an excuse of "I have an 8 AM class" and ran away quickly.

Once he left, the girls remembered that the matter of eating with Wei Ming was still unresolved.

But it didn't matter. They were going to buy things at the Tiger Cave, and just passing by the south gate, they could ask Wei Ming's colleagues.

However, just as they walked to the south gate, they saw two people in military uniforms from afar, one old and one young, and they were carrying things.

After walking closer, they finally understood what was going on.

It turned out these two were from the military compound, one an old Red Army soldier and one an active-duty air force soldier.

A few days ago, the old man got sick, and the whole family was taking care of him in the hospital. Unexpectedly, it was hard to guard against family thieves; the daughter of this military brother was taken away by a distant relative while they were distracted, and she was going to be sold to the mountains.

Fortunately, they met Wei Ming on the train. He had sharp eyes and immediately saw that there was a problem with the human trafficker. Brave and resourceful, he successfully subdued the human trafficker and rescued the little girl.

Several female college students listened in a daze, their eyes shining. This Wei Ming was truly divine. The desire to invite him to dinner became even more intense.

Seeing that Wei Ming hadn't returned yet, the military brother said: "Then we will come again in a few days, bringing the child and her mother. Originally, our whole family should have come, but after the incident, her mother was so scared she fell ill. If it weren't for Comrade Wei Ming, I really wouldn't know what to do!"

Zhao Debiao held the gift and grinned foolishly. After sending the people away and dealing with the chattering female college students, he immediately called Northern Qiao Feng to inform him of this good news.

Northern Qiao Feng hung up the phone and ran directly to Wei Anping's office to report in person.

"Good! Good!"

After hearing this, Wei Anping excitedly slapped the table repeatedly. Didn't tomorrow's school newspaper cancel *Ideal*? Then replace it with this deed. Replace it now!

He had even thought of the title: "Peking University Guardian, Criminal Buster—Wei Ming!"

Wei Anping was a good hand at writing articles and often wrote manuscripts for leaders. This time, he was also prepared to write it himself.

No way, this big nephew was too credit-worthy for him. Even if he didn't mention it, the school would probably fight to give him a permanent position.

However, he didn't understand the situation very clearly, so he called the Modu Writers Association, prepared to ask Wei Ming about the details of this matter in person, and by the way, understand whether the manuscript revision work was going smoothly, whether the publication was finalized, and when he would return home~
