In the blink of an eye, it is the tenth. When Anxi took the two children to Zhou's house, he met a kid selling newspapers on the road.

"Is there Ta Kung Pao? Give me a copy." Anxi asked.

"Yes, yes, a copy of "Ta Kung Pao", three cents." Hearing the question, the newsboy immediately pulled out a newspaper, raised his hands and handed it to Anxi, "Here you are, sir."

Anxi took it, glanced at the shoes on the newsboy's feet with a few toes exposed, handed over a dime, and let Shengzi drag him away without saying anything.

On the rickshaw, Anxi flipped through the newspaper. On the lower left corner of the third page, there was a section with a slightly smaller font but a concise and clear content, which was the Missing Person Notice.

The content of the announcement is based on what Anxi wrote, the situation of the person being sought, the known clues, the person looking for, and so on.

In such a small corner, it is easy to be ignored, but there is no way to do it. If the newspaper office is willing to publish a situation where there is obviously no benefit, such as a missing person notice, it is already humanitarian.

You can't let people's great articles not be published, and put a missing person notice in the middle, right?

Rolling up the newspaper, Anxi tapped on the heads of the two little guys, "I hope you are lucky enough."

When they arrived at Zhou's house, Mr. Zhou saw that Anxi was holding a newspaper and asked, "Is it published?"

Anxi nodded.

Elder Zhou comforted, "Don't worry too much, it will take time to find someone."

Of course this Anxi knew, Xiaoxiao didn't care, handed the two children to Mrs. Han, and left with Mrs. Zhou.

After arriving at the school, they sorted out the plans they had made in the past few days, and officially started work.

The first thing to do is to sort out the teaching plans for the courses Mr. Zhou is currently explaining. This is the most urgent thing.

Mr. Zhou has to attend classes every day. The original course for one semester has been formulated at the beginning of the semester, but now Mr. Zhou is a little dissatisfied with the content to be explained. He feels that it is not deep enough, and some places have cognitive biases.

Although this is due to the different angles of previous research and different judgments on the same thing, but when Mr. Zhou thinks that the current thinking is more reasonable, the previous understanding is a bit unsatisfactory.

Therefore, Mr. Zhou made a bold decision, that is, to temporarily change the teaching plan, adding the content that he and Anxi are currently researching, and explaining wherever the research goes.

Research takes time, and classes cannot be interrupted every day. When the teaching plan changes, not only must the teaching plan be prepared in advance, but also new learning materials must be prepared for the students, which is very troublesome.

Mr. Zhou would definitely not be able to handle so many tasks by himself, so he invited Anxi to be his teaching assistant.

As the most famous professor and one of the founders of Peking University, the principal and other professors all believed in Mr. Zhou's ability and vision. He felt that Anxi had real talents, so he must have them.

Although Anxi's academic qualifications are mediocre, and he hasn't even gone to college, but he is eclectic and talented. It can't be said that folk masters can't teach good students.

That's right, they all thought that Anxi had a teacher, otherwise how could he know multiple languages ​​given that he was young and had never been abroad?

Just because he can freely switch between several languages, he has already become a teacher at Peking University, not to mention that he is very familiar with the culture, history, and economic and political conditions of various countries.

What a rare talent this is!

Anxi thought for a while, but did not reject Mr. Zhou and the principal's proposal.

He hasn't figured out what to do in the future yet, and for the time being, he only has one goal of sending the two children home, so he might as well take this job first.

Although he won't be short of money in a short time after selling those watch perfumes, he can't just do nothing.

Joining a job can also help him integrate into this society and understand the thinking of people in this era.

In this way, Anxi became a teaching assistant at Peking University.

In name, he is a teaching assistant, but in fact he doesn't need to help Mr. Zhou in class.Mr. Zhou is a very responsible teacher, as long as he is healthy, he insists on doing it by himself.

So what Anxi does most is to do research with Mr. Zhou, helping him write lesson plans, writing students' learning materials, and... writing articles for newspapers.

That's right, it's an article.

Mr. Zhou has an agreement with "Ta Kung Pao" to publish an article in the newspaper every half month, the content is all about the differences between China and the West.

As a window for the common people to understand current affairs, the newspaper office is also a key outlet for many people to explore important news from the West.

It has been five years since "Ta Kung Pao" was established, and half of its content is about foreign news.

Two years ago, after Li Wenjin became the editor-in-chief of "Ta Kung Pao", he repeatedly persuaded Mr. Zhou to write an article on the differences between China and the West and publish it in the newspaper to guide the people to correctly understand the West and China.

Mr. Zhou refused to agree at first, but couldn't stand the students' persuasion, so he tried to write an article.

Unexpectedly, the article was well received as soon as it was published, and readers wrote letters one after another, saying that the article had benefited them a lot, and strongly urged the newspaper to open a special section dedicated to the differences between China and the West.

After Mr. Zhou knew about it, he thought it was a way to let more people realize the gap between China and the West. If it could inspire some people, it would be a good thing, so he persisted.

In the past two years, Mr. Zhou has written two articles a month. It can be said that he has devoted himself to writing about all aspects of Chinese and Western content.

When he was struggling to think about how to write, Anxi gave him a new way of thinking, a new perspective, and a new direction of thinking.

After seeing Anxi's writing skills, he decided to entrust this important task to Anxi.

Anxi was speechless, did he go back to his old job?

It's just that what I wrote before was novels, and this kind of research article is really the first time.

Before taking on this task, he found and read all of Zhou Lao's previous articles, and found that Zhou Lao's style has obvious characteristics of this era, half classical Chinese and half vernacular.

It's not that Mr. Zhou can't write in classical Chinese, it's just that when it comes to Western content, vernacular is more helpful for understanding.

Besides, Mr. Zhou's original purpose was to let more people understand the differences between China and the West. If you just blindly write in classical Chinese, to be honest, it is estimated that many people would not be able to understand it.

"Mr. Zhou, I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll trouble you to prepare an article in advance. Don't let "Ta Kung Pao" open the window."

Anxi decided to write an article and see if the "Ta Kung Pao" could not pass it.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in his own writing, it's just that he decided to use all vernacular Chinese. If the other party doesn't accept it, there's nothing he can do about it, so Mr. Zhou has to prepare one first, and he can't entrust it all to himself.

Mr. Zhou had no objection and asked Anxi to write.

This is actually very simple. Anxi can finish several articles in one afternoon, because he has been to those countries and has indeed studied their culture and history.

Those who do language research must not only understand the local history and culture, but also understand their lifestyle, thinking habits, political atmosphere and other aspects.

Therefore, in his eyes, there are differences between China and the West. Even a simple modal particle can show the difference in thinking caused by the different expression methods between China and the West.

So writing such an article is a breeze for Anxi.

The only problem is that he came from a background in writing novels, so he wanted to add fun without knowing it, which is very different from Mr. Zhou's rigorous and report-like articles.

Perhaps "Ta Kung Pao" will not accept such articles in order to ensure the seriousness of the newspaper.

Of course, Anxi didn't feel that the readers could not accept it, it was just that the style of the newspaper was different.

Li Wenjin is a student of Mr. Zhou. Ever since he persuaded Mr. Zhou to write essays, he has been coming to pick up essays in person, rain or shine for two years.

It was the same this time, but this time he not only got Zhou Lao's article, but also a few articles written by Anxi.

Of course Li Wenjin understood what Elder Zhou meant and was not ambiguous, so he sat down and read it carefully.

Articles sent to newspapers are generally not long, because of the layout limitation, they are limited to 1000 to 3000 words.

Therefore, after reading several articles, it took less than half an hour. This is the result of Li Wenjin reading several articles over and over again.

After reading it, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, no wonder the teacher valued Mr. An so much.

Absolutely talented, this article was written so that he, an editor of more than ten years, couldn't help but reread it again and again.

Good writing, good writing, and good writing.

However, compared with his teacher, his style is too different.

After thinking for a while, Li Wenjin said cautiously, "Teacher, Mr. An's article is very well written. It would be our honor to be published in Ta Kung Pao. It's just that his style is very different from yours. It will affect the unity of this page."

Although his words were extremely cryptic, Mr. Zhou understood it as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing, "You also think that Anxi's writing is good? This is because you have seen better ones and don't want mine? "

Li Wenjin felt relieved, and couldn't help but apologized with a smile, "How can it be, Mr. An was recommended by you, and the article is so well written, it's enough to create a page for him alone, but your themes collide and need to be adjusted Time, just staggered newspapers."

Mr. Zhou shook his head, "The reason why I recommend Anxi to you is that I don't intend to write any more. It's time to open up new content for this forum. Anxi's articles are very good, with the same subject matter, but the content style is very different. Change. I helped you find such a talented author, how can you thank me, kid."

After listening to Li Wenjin, he knew that the teacher would not change after making a decision, so he did not persuade him, but followed the teacher's words, "Look at what you said, teacher, you are my teacher, so I need to thank you for helping me."

Elder Zhou laughed, "Thick-skinned boy, I'll let it go, you can't treat Anxi badly."

"Don't worry, Mr. An's manuscript fee is based on your standard, five yuan per thousand words." He said, and turned to Anxi, "here are four articles, with a total word count of about 9800. Based on 50 words, I will give you [-] yuan." Yuan. Do you see?"

Anxi has no objection. Didn't expect to make so much money writing articles in the Republic of China?However, this may be the reason for Mr. Zhou. A top scholar like Mr. Zhou should get the highest manuscript fee.

Li Wenjin gave him the same standard because of the teacher's introduction.Of course, it is also because his articles are worthwhile.

No wonder it is said that literati in the Republic of China were valuable, and famous writers could buy a courtyard house for a few months of manuscript fees.

Thinking that he earned fifty dollars this afternoon, how much more would he earn every month?

Forget it, being Lao Zhou's teaching assistant is my job, although that month's salary is not worth his afternoon's income!
