Shoulder to shoulder

May I?

What a difficult question to answer.

When his heart was on fire, Jian Xuezhou would rather not have such a problem.

There is no need for reason, no respect, impulsiveness is presumptuous, and it is okay to be overbearing.

Would she, Jian Xuezhou, do things she didn't like?Since she didn't refuse or dodge, there is no need for such a pause.

But after all, after all, she is not a worm in her belly, and even when she holds on to her wolfish heart, she can't erase some subtle upper and lower classes.

Jian Xuezhou is her idol, the author she respects, and her boss, so she is so superfluous.

In the warm arms and breathing, Jian Xuezhou looked down at the girl in front of him.

The distance was too close, and the night was too dark, Bi Guo's eyelashes flickered, like a faint light that was out of focus.

Jian Xuezhou blinked, and rubbed against Bi Guo's cheek, the small friction was like the cold wind at night caressing bare|exposed skin.

Bi Guo's breathing became hotter, Jian Xuezhou's lips moved, and he answered her in a low voice: "No."

Bi Guo raised his eyes suddenly, and Jian Xuezhou's shadow came down, and he gently sucked at the corner of her lips.

Before Bi Guo could go further, Jian Xuezhou had already escaped from her control, turned around and strode forward.

Not far behind was the light and shadow of the flashlight shaking, Bi Guo followed quickly until the two got into the car.

The car door was closed, there was no embarrassing silence, Jian Xuezhou said three words, and the car turned around and drove forward.

"Seat belt," she said.

Bi Guo was extremely frustrated, clutching the seat belt with his fingers, thinking about what he had done.

What does Jian Xuezhou's current attitude mean? Is that not allowed at the beginning, or is it a further step.

Her impulsiveness made Jian Xuezhou sick?Angry?Still excited?

Every question is very important, but Bi Guo's head is full of mud, and he can't think about any of them.

She still didn't dare to look at Jian Xuezhou beside her, even out of the corner of her eye, for fear of getting a sad answer.

The distance from the river to the house was not too close, halfway through, Bi Guo's cell phone vibrated.

She fumbled out of her pocket in a hurry, and saw several unread WeChat messages, but at the moment it was a call waiting to be answered, with the note "He Xiang".

Bi Guo quickly picked it up, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke: "Hello, Sister He."

He wanted to ask her straight to the point: "Are you home yet?"

"On the way." Big Guo paused, "We'll be there soon."

"Oh, that's good." He thought, "Everyone is almost here. If I didn't reply to your message, I'll call and ask."

"Thank you, Sister He, for your concern. I just... went shopping and didn't look at my phone."

"Well, go home and have a good rest, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the car fell into an eerie silence again.

Taking the opportunity, Bi Guo glanced up at Jian Xuezhou and explained: "Our team leader called and asked me if I was home."

"Yeah." Jian Xuezhou responded softly, "We just moved the things over, and we are the team leader?"

It is the most commonly used tone of voice when talking to Bi Guo on weekdays. It is deliberately mixed with some subtle misunderstandings to make fun of, so that Bi Guo can relax and talk more.

Bi Guo quickly laughed, looked at Jian Xuezhou, and said, "From the day I promised to have me, I have been my team leader."

Jian Xuezhou smiled: "You really hate Wang Ze so much?"

"Sister, do you like her very much?"

"I don't like it." Jian Xuezhou paused and said, "I don't really like many people."

Having said that, the car is almost at the gate of the community.

When they get home later, after washing up, they will go about their own affairs, and it will not be easy to pick up this topic.

So Bi Guo muttered a few times before asking, "Then sister, do you hate me?"

The car drove into the community, and the house shared by the two was in a position that could be seen by looking up.

The car body bumped uphill twice, and Bi Guo's heart wobbled to the point of breaking apart following the rhythm.

She stared at Jian Xuezhou, for fear of missing a subtle expression.

Jian Xuezhou's expression was smiling.

Even in this kind of smile with crooked eyebrows, Bi Guo saw the fine lines at the corners of Jian Xuezhou's eyes, which were beautiful and real, like the large unknown flowers blooming on the bank of the river.

When the car went up the slope, Jian Xuezhou turned his head to look at Bi Guo, and said, "It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi."

This is said abruptly, and if there is a slight deviation in memory, one will not be able to understand the reason.

But since Jian Xuezhou appeared in Bi Guo's life, every detail about this woman has been copied by her repeatedly, deeply engraved in her mind.

Especially those classic plots, Bi Guo will not only engrave them in his mind, but also write them into the novel.

For example, the seductive and unknowingly glamorous stunner asked her half naked, "Do you hate me?"

So it really was 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, the two of them went around in a mixed circle of public and private affairs, and each asked the same thing.

Bi Guo suddenly felt a subtle feeling in his heart, as if the balance was never tilted, but the identity was completely adjusted.

In the past Jian Xuezhou, no matter what he was wearing or what he was doing, he was always generous and open in front of Bi Guo.

So he dared to speak up, even dared to come no matter how ambiguous he was, provoking Bi Guo's small heart, frequent and long-lasting tachycardia.

And since when did it start, Jian Xuezhou's attitude towards Bi Guo began to become hesitant, taking three steps forward, and when he was almost on the verge, he could be pulled back.

Bi Guo stared at Jian Xuezhou, and suddenly understood that she was passionate about Jian Xuezhou from the very beginning.As for Jian Xuezhou, she crossed the boundary bit by bit.

What is the reason for the initial closeness remains to be seen.

But the current liking probably cannot be concealed, after all, this person waited for her to leave the dinner in the wind at night, and took her to the pavilion to look at the river and see the flowers blooming in the sky and on the ground.

The car stopped, Jian Xuezhou got out of the car, and did not continue the previous topic.

But Bi Guo had already got the answer, and the smile on the corner of his mouth hung up again, and he didn't need to press any more, and couldn't help jumping up the stairs happily all the way.

After she got the answer she wanted, she became that contented and happy Buddhist pursuer again, saying goodnight sweetly, and her lover was next door, but she just hid in the quilt and snickered.

When the morning sun shines into this hut again, the world has a new color, and Bi Guo pushes away his new start.

The Huoyan team doesn't look at distance or closeness. After the first review of magazine short stories and book novels in the hands of the editor, they are sent to the editor-in-chief's mailbox for an anonymous second review.

In this round, based on strength alone, two-thirds will be brushed down, and the remaining one-third will be sent to the group, and all editors will conduct a final review.

At this point, everyone collectively considered all the submission requirements, including the choice of subject matter, the promotion of the author's reputation, and the priority of authorization classification, etc.

It was rumored that the manuscript of "Flame" was sad, but the quality of the draft was really high.

Even though the sales of paper media are gradually declining, "Flame" is still at the cutting-edge level of the industry, which is inseparable from the work atmosphere of the entire Flame team.

He Xiang absolutely does not allow the manuscript to be unsightly, and also absolutely does not allow the interactive column to fail to keep up with the trend.

In this way, Bi Guo has been in the flames for two months, and he really felt what it means to be in chaos.

Bai Lu's new book was finally confirmed to be edited by her and Lin Xian. One is experienced and the other is enterprising. The cooperation between the two can ensure the success of this great god's new book.

After "Lovesickness" was released, the response was very good. Not only was the reprinted list handed to Bi Guo, but also the plan for the second part ordered by He Xiang.

He Xiang has always liked to create big IPs with sustainable development. Even if the sales volume of "Lovesickness" is still in the Huaze group, this does not prevent her from using this energy to firmly grasp future business opportunities.

On this point, she and Bi Guo have a tacit understanding, not only to try their best to build their own authors, but also to... piss Wang Ze off as much as possible.

In addition to these two key tasks, the daily acceptance and review of manuscripts in the group, after all, can't pull any of them.

Flame magazine has an AB version, and the number of books has always been far ahead in the company.In other groups, an editor who has two books in progress at the same time is already considered good, but in Huoyan, there are monthly submissions for short stories and monthly assessment standards for long stories.

Coupled with the need to edit the column manuscripts written by herself, and the official account operation on duty in rotation, Bi Guo felt that she was like a machine running at full speed, constantly rotating and unable to stop.

If you just want to be an ordinary editor, it would be much better to improve your efficiency.

But Bi Guo has never been this goal, even if she gets to the strongest group of White Oak, she still wants to be the best person.

Because only in this way can we be seen and get closer to the ladder leading to Jian Xuezhou.

During these busy hours, Bi Guo didn't have the energy to start his own new articles, but in the constant rotation of work, he found many new ideas about creation.

Looking at the creation from the editor's point of view, and then reflecting on it from the author's point of view, the defects and advantages of the article will be more clearly visible.

And the more platforms I come into contact with, the more authors, and the more works, it's like opening my eyes to see the world wider, my thinking becomes broader, and more inspirations may burst out in every gap.

Many readers are urging her for her new article, and Ji Lan will occasionally send a message to ask her how her new article is going.

Even Jian Xuezhou would suddenly ask about this at a certain moment of eating together.

But Bi Guo was not anxious, she quickly recorded all the inspirations, and then let them slowly accumulate and ferment in her mind.

The busier she is at work, the more confidence she has. This is a creative experience she has never had before, just like a real wealthy benefactor who is no longer afraid that her wealth will dry up.

In such a haste, half a day off for Christmas, Bi Guowo stayed at home and worked overtime.

The next day, the entire editorial hall was beaming, whispering and discussing what romantic or decadent things they did during the half day yesterday.

Lin first washed the apples from the company yesterday, brought them over, and pushed them in front of Bi Guo: "Fill your eyes."

Bi Guo looked away from the manuscript, picked one and gnawed: "In your eyes, everything can complement your eyes."

"I'm reminding you that if you don't rest, your eyes will go blind." Lin Xian clicked his tongue, "Think about how lively and lovely a werewolf killed a girl when I first met you, how come you have become a workaholic now .”

Bi Guo continued to nibble on the apple, and said with a smile, "Why, workaholics aren't cute anymore."

"Cute." Lin Xian raised his hand and squeezed her shoulder, "With you here, Bailu's book looks like it's been opened."

"No, no, it's because of you." Bi Guo said sincerely, "I really can't figure it out at the publishing house, the teacher has a really weird temper."

"Are you bragging about each other early in the morning?" Doudou poked his head out to look at the two of them, "You two are called two swords, don't be humble."

"Which sword?" Lin asked first.

"Hey you girl." Doudou shook her head with a smile.

In order not to miss important news, Bi Guo would wear an earphone to his ear when reading the manuscript.

The music is not played, just to listen to the message notification tone, which will be accompanied by Doudou's low laughter, and the button button will sound short and frequently. Bi Guo looks at the computer, and the personnel department in the company's large group has flashed a red piece.

It is to remind the list of programs for the New Year's Day annual meeting. Each group and each department must produce, and the programs of the entire company must be put together to make up the amount of a concert.

Generally, the company's annual meeting does not take so long, but White Oak has been like this for many years, a traditional custom.

At the annual meeting, not only all the employees of the company will be present, but also industry peers will be invited in a pretentious manner. In the past two years, new readers have been added to the lottery.

It was so lively, and everyone is not a professional performer, if something goes wrong, it will be too embarrassing.

So the personnel program has been urged for a month, and it has only been a few days since it came to an end, and it is still being urged.

The news in the small group also rang, and Bi Guo clicked on it, and saw Doudou brushing past one by one.

Grinning and complaining, and by the way, talking about the embarrassing things at the annual meeting in previous years, one person can make a group very lively.

After seeing that there was no important information, he decided to lower his head and continue to read the manuscript. Before his eyes could be lowered, an Aite jumped out.

Doudou@果果: Do you know that every two years, the boss still has to perform?

-Ok?

Bi Guo recalled a word and frowned with interest.

Doudou@果果: Come on, I don't believe you don't know, it's Mrs. Jane's turn this year, she hasn't talked to you about this?

Bi Guo answered honestly: No.

Lin jumped out first: Boss Jane must be shy.

Guoguo: If she doesn't want to, the personnel don't dare to force her, right?

Doudou: The personnel dare to force Mr. Jane to do something, but the company's activities, the leader always has to lead by example.

Lin Meili: Besides, usually, in order to alleviate the shyness, the boss will pull other people to perform together.

Doudou: Hey, beautiful, what are you implying?

Lin Meili: I didn't say anything.

After a while of quarreling, He Xiang came down from the meeting. Everyone was sitting upright, and there was no movement in the small group.

Bi Guo's manuscript was not very smooth to read, and in the end he couldn't hold back, and sent a message to Jian Xuezhou:

- Sister, are you ready for the show?

It wasn't until it was almost noon that Jian Xuezhou replied to Bi Guo: No.

Bi Guo happily continued to post: Shall I help you as a staff officer?

Jian Xuezhou replied to her with a smile: "Okay, come to my office for lunch."
