Summer in Beijing is extremely hot.

In the editorial department of "XX Literature", in the editor-in-chief's office, the editors suddenly heard the exclamation of editor-in-chief Xie Cun coming from inside, and then they heard someone crying.

Several male editors were shocked and rushed in together. Everyone saw Xie Cun with his head lowered and lying on the table, crying.

"Mr. Xie, what's wrong with you, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Cun raised his head and glanced at a few people, waved his hands and said:

"Get out, all out!"

Several people exited together, and Xie Cun buried his head again and cried again.

After a while, the door to the editor-in-chief's office opened, and Xie Cun came out with red eyes. Deputy editor-in-chief Ma Chengcheng hurried back from outside and asked Xie Cun what was going on with great concern.

Xie Cun shook his head and said:

"It's okay, it's okay. I was moved by reading a novel. I couldn't help but want to cry! After crying this time, I felt refreshed and open-minded..."

"Novel? What novel is so well written?"

Xie Cun sighed and said:

"It's a full-length novel, and it's really well written. It's a pity that we at "XX Literature" can't cooperate with it. We are a short and medium-length magazine."

"By the way, Mr. Ma, please keep an eye on me. I'm going to the Writers' Association. I want to recommend this book to the teacher! I believe that with the teacher's connections, he should be able to help!"

Xie Cun was the editor-in-chief of "XX Literature" in her early thirties. In addition to her own excellent business skills, the key was her unfathomable background.

Putting aside her own family background, her teacher Sun Xiaowei is a famous writer, and now serves as a leader of the Writers Association. He has status in literature and politics. Looking at the country, there are not many people like him. .

Xie Cun was very excited to go to Sun Xiaowei this time. Along the way, she was thinking about whether she really had a special preference for a certain literary style.

For example, she has published three articles of Cao Rui's works in the publication, and they have been published continuously. Many of the editors below actually complained. After all, "XX Literature" is not an ordinary publication. This publication is very popular in the literary world. Have huge influence.

It is unique for a young writer in his early thirties to have his works continuously published in "XX Literature".

Now Xie Cun has seen "Xiaolu" again. She cried after reading this book. She was touched every line of the book, and the most touching thing was the reunion between Xiaolu and Yang Erbao.

Cao Rui's brushwork was so delicate yet careless, and the focus did not seem to be on these two children, but these two children moved everyone present.

The Peach Blossom Shop in the book is a paradise-like place. Cao Rui did not describe the scenery of this place in detail, but after reading the novel, a picture naturally emerged in the reader's mind.

There are terraced fields, small rivers, loaches, and hillsides, with rows of houses, the sound of chickens and dogs, and the curling smoke of cooking stoves. This kind of beauty is like a landscape painting.

Have you ever seen such beauty? Xie Cun thought she must have seen it before, because although she was young, she had traveled extensively and seen the world.

However, Xie Cun had never seen this kind of scenery and the humanities in the book, let alone imagined such a madly beautiful love between Chen Xiaolu and Yang Erbao.

There is also the female editor Guo Ling, and Guo Ling's own life choices, which give this novel a very strong tension.

What is a good novel? Xie Cun has heard many opinions before.

Some people say that a good novel must have a good story and be addictive to read. Some people say that a novel must have good writing. It is important that the writing is pleasing to the eye. Some people say that the novel must have a bizarre plot...

Xie Cun now feels that a good novel must be like "Little Road", which makes people ignore the text of the novel and the writer's skills. Anyway, the reader enters the world of the novel in an instant and can never get out.

No matter what, Xie Cun was determined to recommend this book to his teachers.

Good things must be shared, but it is difficult to find people to share literature with. Even in a place like Beijing, how many people really understand literature?

Even among people in the circle, everyone has a different understanding of the work. If Xie Cun wants to share a book, he still needs to take the subway for more than an hour...

……

The weather is getting colder.

Wan Peng, director of the Propaganda Department of the Yongping County Party Committee, had just arrived at work. Before he could arrange his work, the phone on his desk rang.

He grabbed the phone and asked:

"Hello, Wanpeng of the Propaganda Department!"

"Wan Peng, is there a writer named Cao Rui in your county?"

Wan Peng was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and said: "Are you... Minister Xie?"

Director Xie Erping of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, Wan Peng’s immediate boss.

"Minister, there is Cao Rui, the director of our Party History Office? Do you... know him?"

Xie Erping said:

"I don't know him. If you are like this, you go find this person, and then you all go to the city together. Let's go to Shahe City. There is a Writers Week event in Shahe City. This is an event organized by the Chinese Writers Association. It is very important. …”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away!"

Wan Peng hung up the phone and immediately arranged for someone to find Cao Rui. As soon as he assigned the task, he immediately said:

"Okay, okay! I'll go find Cao Rui myself!"

Wan Peng and Cao Rui are old acquaintances. When he was the deputy county magistrate, Cao Rui happened to be the director of the Tea Office, and the two had a lot of interactions.

It's just that now the work of the two people doesn't have much overlap, and Wan Peng and Cao Rui have less contact.

Wan Peng didn't know why Minister Xie Erping suddenly wanted to see Cao Rui. Cao Rui was a bit talented and usually wrote something. It was said that he was a member of the Provincial Writers Association, but other than that, I didn't hear that Cao Rui had any other outstanding talents. Where?

Wan Peng suppressed his curiosity and went to the Party History Office in person. After meeting Cao Rui, he said directly:

"Cao Rui, come with me! Go to the city, there are leaders in the city who want to see you!"

Wan Peng's attitude is very positive. This is a task assigned by his immediate superior, Minister Xie. Minister Xie is a parachuted leader from the province. Before he came down, he worked as a secretary to a major leader in the provincial party committee. He has a very solid relationship background.

The key is that Minister Xie is still young, only in his forties, and it can be said that he has a bright future.

Wan Peng has always wanted to find an opportunity to establish a relationship with Minister Xie. Now that the opportunity has finally come, can he not be active?

Cao Rui asked him what was going on.

Wan Peng said:

"Oh, Cao Rui, this must be a good thing! Why do you ask so many questions? Just follow me!"

The two of them rushed all the way to the Municipal Committee, where Xie Erping was already waiting.

After Cao Rui and Wan Peng got off the bus, Wan Peng introduced him to Xie Erping. Xie Erping shook hands with Cao Rui and said in surprise:

"So young?"

"In this way, we will take a car and go to Shahe immediately..."
