Chapter 506 Hypocrisy

 Xiaoxia hates her coworker very much now, just that pretty boy!

 Colleagues from the editorial department had a dinner together, and it was my grandson who suggested eating spicy hot pot.

certainly.

She couldn't resist the temptation and focused on the top and ignored the bottom.

She made a little loud noise when eating, so for the past two days, she sincerely apologized and prayed to Uncle Kikube every day.

However.

Uncle Kikube was not moved at all.

 Even—

 “If you don’t do it any better, I’ll cut you!”

 Faced with such a severe threat, Mr. Kikube still went his own way.

 Xiaoxia says the strongest words but does the weakest things. She really didn't dare to have an incision. One of her best friends had ruthlessly operated on her. Not to mention the shame of lying on the operating table, the key point was that it really hurt.

 My best friend cried and called mom every time during the few days after her surgery.

  She later told Xiao Xia in a tone of death that she had to undergo the operation because her brain was in a state of turmoil.

certainly.

If the pain of hemorrhoids is so severe that it affects defecation, it is not far from the possibility that something will enter your head.

and-

Xiaoxia heard that hemorrhoids are easy to recur, and pregnant women who are pregnant and giving birth are also extremely prone to hemorrhoids.

In this case, Xiaoxia thought, should we stop insisting?

 It will be settled once and for all.

But now.

 Xiaoxia found it difficult to persevere.

As the editor of a science fiction magazine, her first job is to sit in front of the computer, read the manuscripts from authors, and conduct a preliminary review. If she thinks the manuscript is good, she will send the manuscript to the editor in charge of the respective section for a second review, and finally hand it over to the editor-in-chief for final review. .

As the first step to get into the magazine, her task of reading manuscripts can be imagined to be multiple.

Such a heavy task, but I got hemorrhoids.

Xiao Xia is restless now and has to read the manuscript. He is quite helpless.

and-

She also has to give good suggestions when rejecting manuscripts, because after they correct them, they may become the next famous author. Jiang Yang, who might be the future, would be born in his own hands, so Xiaoxia had to patiently write a reply with suggestions.

 This patience is even more torturous.

 Xiaoxia couldn't sit still now, so he stood in front of his desk and read the manuscript for a while.

Mr. Orange might have woken her up by asking her to close the curtains, "Xiaoxia, why don't you lie down there and rest for a while?"

Xiao Xia felt miserable and could only say: "I'm not tired. I'll read the manuscript for a while."

Mr. Chengzi praised Xiaoxia’s dedication and asked Xiaoxia if he had seen any good manuscripts.

"Um-"

Xiao Xia was enjoying the hardships, and when he was fighting against Uncle Kikube's restlessness, he figured out a set of theories:

 Just one manuscript, and if she can’t read it even while standing, she should definitely be killed;

 Ask her to read while standing. This manuscript has some highlights, but if it fails, she will give detailed suggestions for revision.

and-

 A manuscript that allows her to read while standing and then sit down is a qualified manuscript and can be passed;

Let her sit and read it carefully, temporarily forgetting the painful manuscript of Mr. Kikube. It is definitely an excellent manuscript.

pity.

 So far, most of the manuscripts are the first two.

  There are very few manuscripts that can be seen by Xiaoxiao while standing, and then sat down to read.

As for the manuscripts that I sat down to read, there were only one or two articles.

 This is also normal.

 She is in charge of the submission mailbox, which is equivalent to an audition. It would be good if she can select a few articles that allow her to stand and sit down.

 Really high-quality authors submit their manuscripts directly to editors.

 Their works will not appear in this submission mailbox at all.

so-

Xiaoxia thought for a while and told Mr. Chengzi that there were two excellent manuscripts and they had been sent to his mailbox.

 That is, excellent.

 It’s not amazing.

 It’s a pretty average manuscript, with no errors or brilliance. It’s scientific, fantasy, and bright. It looks like an Internet celebrity. It’s pretty but beautiful. It looks good when you read it, but you can’t remember it after reading it. It’s about this level.

Xiao Xia feels that it is still far behind Jiang Yang’s novels.

Jiang Yang’s two science fiction novels are equivalent to the Big Devil standing there in amazement. The difference is evident from this.

"Let me see."

Mr. Orange said, first making himself a cup of wolfberry.

At this moment, the pretty boy came back from the toilet, with a smooth and comfortable look on his face, which made Xiao Xia very envious.

 This also reminds Xiaoxiao.

 She should go to the toilet at public expense.

 But the little shrimp has a shadow in his heart, and it still hurts. Let’s do it again—

 “That’s it!”

Xiao Xia advised himself that if he extended his head, it would be one strike, and if he retracted his head, it would be two strikes. He would die early and be reborn early.

 She ran to the bathroom fearlessly.

 In a short while.

The little shrimp came back with a bloodless face, so that Mr. Orange had to ask with concern: "Xiao Xia, are you anemic?"

"hehe."

 Xiaoxia gave Mr. Orange a bitter smile.

 Can she not be anemic?

 Let's stop talking to relatives once a month. Now there is an extra glass shard.

 It’s a miracle that I’m alive at all.

 She returned to her desk, took a sip of water, and did not dare to sit down. Instead, she stood and read the manuscript.

Can-

Xiao Xia gets annoyed when he reads this manuscript.

 Although there are not many requirements for magazine submissions, there are also formats. At least you must write in the subject of the email which column of the magazine you are submitting to, the title of the work, and the name of the author, so that the editor can see it clearly when reading, and the work will be done with half the effort.

 But this manuscript is just an article title.

 You can tell at a glance that the contributor didn't do his homework. He sent it as soon as he saw the submission email address in the magazine.

 Xiaoxia sighed.

"Why."

  She encounters many such manuscripts every day, but this time it is particularly annoying because she——

  Stop talking about it.

 She opened the manuscript.

The pretty colleague heard her sigh and said, "What's wrong, Xiaoxia? I saw some manuscript that I can't read."

"yes."

As soon as Xiaoxia saw the title, "Bring Her Eyes", she felt that it was related to love, not much better.

However-

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly widened.

What did she see? !

 Xiao Xia couldn’t believe it, so he sat directly on the chair, pulled up the chair, closed the distance, and stared at the two very small words on the screen, trying to read them intently, fearing that he had read it wrong.

Then.

 She blinked and looked again.

　　It is indeed true that -

Jiang Yang!

 “Fuck!”

Xiaoxia finally confirmed that these two words are correct!

The pretty-faced colleague laughed and said, "Xiaxia, what have you seen that will shock the heavens and make the gods cry?"

His words obviously followed what he said just now, and he was making fun of the poor writing.

Xiaoxia didn’t answer her.

  She was thinking, wouldn’t this be the same person with the same surname?

 This is easy to verify.

 Xiaoxia read on.

　　The story begins with a social animal taking a rest and planning to travel. The director asked him to go with a pair of eyes.

Eye?

Xiaoxia originally wanted to correct the typos, but when I thought about the title, I had my doubts.

The owner of the eyes is described later. He looks like a young girl who has just graduated. She is wearing a space suit and seems to be in space. However, the communication delay is very short, so short that she should be in low-Earth orbit. Then the little girl’s space suit is also very strange. , thermal insulation and cooling are extremely developed.

 Ouch!

 It feels a bit suspenseful.

 As a science fiction editor, Xiaoxia is well-informed and began to speculate. According to the description in the book, there is a weightless pencil next to the little girl. She should still be in space, but she may have smoothed out the delay with the help of some kind of technology.

 Could it be aliens or future humans?

Xiaoxia put aside his doubts and continued reading. He saw the seriousness of the little girl in choosing a travel destination. She seemed to be deciding whether to live or die, as if the earth was about to explode after a short trip.

 The next chapter is when the little girl saw the grassland, she was almost pathologically fond of it.

She named each little flower and remembered their names; she was almost excited to feel the wind blowing through her wet hands, and was pleasantly surprised by the white clouds she saw, and even by an unexpected breeze, a sudden breeze in the wind. The fragrance of green grass will make her cry -

Xiao Xia was confused, what exactly was this girl’s setting?

 Born in outer space?

 If you were an Earthling—

 It’s a bit too pretentious.



It's running at full speed.

wait for me
