Climb out of the boss's coffin

"New Thinking" is a scientific magazine. Although it has only been established for more than ten years, it has already become quite influential in the industry due to its eclectic style and advanced conjectures about science.

At this time, Wang Dongsheng, the editor-in-chief of "New Thinking" magazine, was browsing the manuscript in the office.The section he is in charge of is the paper column of "New Thinking" magazine, which is dedicated to publishing contributions from some unknown newcomers.

Another lackluster article was eliminated. Editor-in-Chief Wang frowned dissatisfiedly, and was about to call and reprimand his editors for being too sloppy in reviewing manuscripts and handing over all the broken articles, when there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Editor-in-Chief Wang raised his head, a look of displeasure flashed across his face, but he still nodded to signal the people outside the door to come in.

"Editor-in-Chief, please take a look at this article." The person who came was one of his editors, a young man who just entered the industry this year, and because he was a relative of the editor-in-chief, he became the team leader as soon as he joined the magazine.

Editor-in-Chief Wang didn't like this kind of relationship at first, but now seeing this person blatantly stuffing manuscripts to him, he felt even more dissatisfied, and couldn't help scolding loudly:

"Editor Wu, this manuscript has only just been handed over now. It obviously didn't pass the normal review process of the editorial team. What do you mean by handing it to me now? Do you think you can do whatever you want because you are a relative of the editor-in-chief?"

Editor-in-Chief Wang glared at the person who came, and waved away the manuscript that this person handed over: "Take it back! I will not agree to publish this kind of manuscript, and avoid these crooked ways in the future!"

Seeing Editor-in-Chief Wang's attitude of not getting in, the visitor couldn't help cursing in his heart: This old man's temper is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, if you weren't really capable, who would be so willing to confess? you!

Even though he thought so, this person still knew the seriousness, swallowed his anger and explained in a low voice: "Editor-in-Chief, this paper was finalized by the Editor-in-Chief to be published, look..."

Editor-in-Chief Wang was taken aback for a moment, then stood up suddenly, still unconvinced, and said, "I'll ask the editor-in-chief..."

"Editor-in-chief, this article is not what the editor-in-chief wanted to publish, but someone from above sent a message..." The young man hurriedly stopped him, telling the truth reluctantly.

After hearing this, although Editor-in-Chief Wang was dissatisfied, he could only endure it.He took the manuscript and read it ten lines at a glance. He only saw half of it and couldn't help but slapped the table and cursed: "What kind of nonsense conjecture is this? Jiling reproduces on its own? Ha! What does he think science is? A fairy tale?"

Although the young man was at odds with Editor-in-Chief Wang, he was actually nodding secretly in his heart at this moment: Jilings have always grown from Jiling trees, and they have never heard of autonomous reproduction. It is indeed a bit taken for granted!

"No! If such an article is published, will the reputation of our magazine be lost? It will become the laughing stock of the industry!" Editor-in-Chief Wang endured it but still couldn't hold back, got up and walked to the editor-in-chief's office with the manuscript.

The young people didn't want this paper to be published either, so the two went to the editor-in-chief for the first time in unison.

Ten minutes later, Editor-in-Chief Wang came out of the office dejectedly.So, despite some twists and turns, Yu Yang's paper was finally published in the "New Thinking" magazine as scheduled.

Although the article was published helplessly, Editor-in-Chief Wang couldn't swallow it.

He thought and thought, and finally made a phone call to his old friend, Chen Wenjie, editor-in-chief of Huadu Daily: "Old Chen, I want to publish an article in your newspaper..."

Editor-in-Chief Wang's response to this matter is: publish an article in other media that specifically criticizes this paper, fight with its author, and at the same time expose the ugly behavior of "New Thinking" magazine's black-box operations.

Although the main job is to be the editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief Wang is quite well-known in the industry. Although Chen Wenjie was puzzled about his purpose, he immediately agreed.

Putting down the phone, Editor-in-Chief Wang cursed fiercely: That kid is really cheap!

By chasing and scolding the author so tit-for-tat, I was helping the author of the paper to hype it up, and I still don't need to pay for my voluntary labor.Originally, the readers didn't take him seriously, but if he did this himself, that little-known kid would immediately become famous.

Speaking of which, editor-in-chief Wang not only didn't vent his anger, but also helped his opponent, and finally ruined the reputation of his own magazine. No matter how you look at it, it is thankless.So why would he do it?

In fact, Wang Dongsheng himself is also very helpless. The reason why he is so successful in the world of literature and journalism has a lot to do with his reputation of being upright and selfless, and not afraid of the powerful. It can be said that he lives off of his reputation.

Although he was completely forced to publish such an unreliable paper this time, as the editor-in-chief of the column, he couldn't completely disentangle the relationship.

Once his reputation is tainted, it will definitely affect his glorious image in the hearts of the people, so Wang Dongsheng simply exposes this matter and saves his reputation first. As for the follow-up matters, he also has a countermeasure:

If the reputation of the magazine cannot be restored, he will just jump to a competitor of "New Thinking". Anyway, that company has been trying to poach him for a long time, and with this credit, it is impossible for them to treat him badly.

If this matter has the hope of dragging the editor-in-chief down, then find someone to continue to release his black material. I am quite popular in the magazine, and with the addition of this matter, it is not difficult to take advantage of this opportunity to plan for the position of the editor-in-chief , but also take advantage of the opportunity to put on a halo of saving the magazine, why not do it?

That's how things fermented.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Editor-in-Chief Wang did nothing to hurt Yu Yang, and saved the cost of publicity, so Yu Yang didn't bother with it.

As a result, Yu Yang's thesis spread under the attack of editor-in-chief Wang. Many people sneered at his views, but there were exceptions.

Professor Lu Qingsheng is the exception. He is the vice president of the National Spiritualist Association and the honorary president of the prestigious Yunshan University. He has a lot of titles and titles.

On this day, he was recuperating at home and preparing to write a new book. It happened that his son came to visit him and brought him the new issue of scientific magazines and newspapers.

As soon as Lu Ying entered the door, she went straight to the bathroom. Professor Lu gave him a speechless look, picked up the magazine brought by her son, and read it.

After a while, Lu Ying walked out of the toilet comfortably, and complained, "I'm suffocating! There are so many cars in Kyoto, I even avoided the morning rush hour, and they just stuck me in the traffic jam." Almost three hours on the viaduct!"

While Lu Ying was talking, she suddenly saw his father holding the new issue of "New Thinking" in his hand, shaking his head and smiling while reading it. Lu Ying immediately knew from experience that he must have read that paper.

"Dad, do you also think that paper is too ridiculous?" Lu Ying patted her head in embarrassment, walked over and said, "I was just about to tell you! Oh, now "New Thinking" has also begun to compromise with capital, Sure enough, just as Mr. Wang Dongsheng said, another good magazine is about to go downhill!"

"I don't think so!" Lu Qingsheng looked up at his son, and unexpectedly objected: "I know Wang Dongsheng, he has impeccable personal virtues, and he has done a good job over the years-but if he is too perfect It seems fake. Just look at it, this time the matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface!"

"Dad, do you disagree with Mr. Wang's point of view?" Lu Ying's eyes widened in surprise: "Do you also agree with the author's point of view of this paper?"

Faced with his son's question, Lu Qingsheng just smiled and said: "Scientific conjectures, naturally there are right and wrong. No one knows whether it is true or not before it is put forward. The author of this paper dares to put forward this hypothesis , we still have to affirm his courage!"

After hearing this, Lu Ying was relieved, knowing that her father was not affected by the author's nonsense, her tone immediately relaxed: "Courage is commendable, but in such a serious scientific journal, it's better not to talk nonsense. "

"Before a conjecture is proved to be a fallacy, who can be sure that it is false?" Lu Qingsheng said meaningfully, with a childlike eagerness suddenly showing on his face: "Give me two copies tomorrow." Send the spirit over here, I want to see if this thing is reliable!"

"Isn't that dad? Do you really want to try?" Lu Ying hurriedly tried to persuade her father to give up, but Professor Lu obviously made up her mind, and after saying this, she drove her son away under the pretext of taking a rest.

a few days later.

Professor Lu squatted in front of a Jiling, with a frustrated look on his face: "How should I operate it? If Jiling is regarded as a living object, how should it reproduce? Viviparous or oviparous? Yes Similar to the reproduction method of seahorses, or like kangaroos..."

After thinking about it for a while without success, Professor Lu stepped forward and opened Jiling's limbs to observe, muttering something in his mouth: "Well... if you want to reproduce, you need a genital opening... Is this here? No, no, these two places are excrement. The exit of the waste, it can't be here... the mouth and nose? It's not right... the nasal cavity is too small, the mouth is connected to the stomach... as expected, this is the most likely place..."

Professor Lu finally found the correct answer based on experience, but the next question came up again, where to get the genetic information?How can a fertilized egg be bred?

"According to the description in the paper, the organs for cultivating embryos are here!" Professor Lu touched Jiling's belly: "But how does the genetic information from the outside world enter here? Naturally...or artificially injected? Mature larvae Where will it be born?"

It’s also difficult for Professor Lu. There are no humanoid animals like gorillas and monkeys in Lingwu Star, and there are no animals that adopt such a strange reproduction method as the spirits and spirits, where the juveniles are combined with the shells born on plants, so Professor Lu really has no one to refer to for a while.

Lu Ying watched from the sidelines for a long time, seeing that her father had tossed the spirits into disrepair, and finally couldn't help persuading: "Dad, you don't have to try, I think that Yu Yang is just a whimsical idea, and he probably has it all by himself." I haven't tried it on the spirit..."

"You said that you are not a full-time spiritual master, what are you messing about at home!" Lu Ying was a little impatient and felt sorry for her father, and suggested: "Why don't I find a senior spiritual master over here, and you can discuss it. ?”

"Hey!" Professor Lu stood up helplessly, and wiped the dirt on his hands: "As expected, I still think too simple, I can find the key so easily, and the problem of sending spirits won't bother the spirits much." Ten years!"

"It's a pity that there is no detailed description in the paper about the steps for the reproduction of spirits..." Professor Lu said with some disappointment, and suddenly came up with an idea, and told his son: "Xiaoying, you call the "New Thinking" magazine. See if you can get the address or contact information of Mr. Yu?"

"Dad, what are you doing?" Lu Ying asked in surprise, suddenly having a bad premonition in her heart.

Professor Lu put his hands behind his back, ignored his son's shock, and smiled slyly like a child who succeeded in pranking: "Me? I want to meet this Yu Yang in person and ask him how Jiling reproduces!"
