Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 43 Zhong Kui
"Hello, what's the matter?" Teacher Li was still a little wary because the person on the other end of the phone still hadn't revealed his identity after saying so much.

The other party reported his identity, and then Teacher Li’s expression became more and more abstract.

"Oh," "Really?" "I see," Teacher Li responded, observing his student with a very strange look.

After more than three minutes, Teacher Li hung up the phone.

Gu Lu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, "What?"

"Just now, a judge of the Ye Shengtao Cup jury, who is also the president of the Children's Publishing House, called me and told me that you submitted an article to "Youth Literature and Art"? " Teacher Li suspected that it was a question, but he had the answer in his heart, because President Jian who called just now wanted to ask for an article.

Is the world so small? Gu Lu was confused. How come this guy was exposed before he even evolved into his full form?
Rather than saying that the world is small, it is better to say that the publishing and education circle is a small group of people standing at the highest point.

"That's what happened. I had some inspiration, so I submitted some manuscripts." Gu Lu said, "Then one of my manuscripts, "Smashing the Piglets," was selected by "Youth Literature and Art." That's why I said I have money. It's all my money from the manuscripts."

Teacher Li thought of the interview with the Young Pioneers a few days ago, in which Gu Lu said that his dream was to become a writer, and he never thought that he had already started to realize it.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Teacher Li said several "OKs" and he said happily, "Keep the money for your high school education. You must let me treat you today, hahahaha."

The laughter was hearty and loud, attracting the attention of tourists around. Teacher Li was happy from the bottom of his heart. Gu Lu had an impression of this kind of happiness. Last time when Chen Na ranked first in the grade, Teacher Li also laughed so happily.

No. 37 Middle School is a bit strange. From the first to the third year of junior high school, no student can occupy the first place.

"If you have an idea and are capable enough, you can try to sign a contract with the Youth Literature and Art magazine." Teacher Li said, "Of course, I am just making a suggestion. You can consider the details yourself. I will give you President Jian's phone number later."

"I will think about it carefully." Gu Lu nodded. What he was thinking in his heart was that "The Little Prince" would come out soon!
Let’s go back to the zoo, or the garden, Gu Lu thought.

Teacher Li happily bought two tickets and also bought marshmallows as rewards for the students.

"Wow, marshmallows, thank you teacher!" Gu Lu thought about his original body's memories. The last time he ate marshmallows was three years ago.

He took a bite, and it was as sweet as he remembered. The happiest thing in the world was to be able to restore the taste in his memory. Gu Lu began to think, if he won the award, would he take the certificate to the admissions office of the high school, or what? He had no experience, really no experience.

The teacher and student had a very pleasant trip to Chengdu as they looked at the animals in the aquarium.

It was already past nine o'clock when Gu Lu arrived at his kennel. Teacher Li sent him downstairs before leaving, which was a very good thing for a teacher.

From a business perspective, it was a little too late, so Gu Lu thought he should call Jianshe tomorrow.

For me personally, it is too early to go to bed now, which is a bit disrespectful to the weekend, so Gu Lu decided to pick up "White Deer Plain". Seriously, when there are no obstacles such as Douyin, Bilibili, games, online literature, and film and television dramas, Gu Lu will still choose to read books.

In fact, many online writing styles are derived from physical books. For example, the famous "A Study in Scarlet" uses the common online writing routine from the beginning to the end: "Others question (Watson), and then the protagonist (Holmes) proves himself." The first sentence of "White Deer Plain" is also explosive in the online writing circle, "Bai Jiaxuan later took pride in having married seven women in his life."

Next, the author begins to introduce the seventh wife. This is different from the online novel. Through the experience of the seventh wife, the author briefly describes the background of the Bai family.

Then there is Yu Hua, whose "The Seventh Day" tells the story of how if a person dies and is not buried, his soul will go to a place called "No Burial Place for the Dead", a typical creative idea.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is no Yu Hua in this world. After Gu Lu read for an hour and a half, it was almost time to go to bed.

A whole day passed in the blink of an eye...Except for getting up to pee at night, Gu Lu drank too much water the first day.

Go to bed again - "Hey, what is this?"

He then noticed that there were some things written in pencil on the wall: [Buddha Tathagata, Monkey King, General Fei Peng, Invincible Suppression, Invulnerable to Gods and Ghosts!]
Thinking about it carefully, this memory is a bit vague. It was written about two years ago. At that time, the original body was afraid of sleeping alone, so all the lights in the house were turned on, including the toilet. The crooked words were written to comfort myself, but the witty Gu Lu also discovered one thing, "The Fairy Sword series also exists in this world!"

When the original body wrote these, it was during the three great fires of the Immortal Sword, so Fei Peng appeared.

“If it’s to ward off ghosts—” Gu Lu got out of bed, took a pen, and wrote [Zhong Kui]. Perfect!

This time I slept until dawn.

After getting up, Gu Lu went outside to eat some glutinous rice cakes and fried dough sticks, and had a cup of soy milk. It was around ten o'clock before Gu Lu called President Jian.

"Hello, is this President Jian from the Children's Publishing House?" Gu Lu said immediately after the call was connected. "This is Gu Lu."

"Student Gu Lu, I've been waiting for your call for a long time." President Jian said.

"The main reason is that I got home too late yesterday, so I thought about playing today," said Gu Lu.

"Young people should go to bed early and get up early to stay healthy." President Jian said straight to the point, "Student Gu Lu, you have great writing skills, so are you interested in becoming a contracted author for Youth Literature and Art?"

"The most direct benefit of becoming a contracted author is that your royalties will increase, and there will also be some resource support," said President Jian.

"Resource help?" Gu Lu was curious.

"It's not a very impressive resource. It's just participating in an event held by a children's literature research association and registering for awards after the book is published. That's basically it." President Jian roughly explained the advantages of signing the contract.

"If a minor becomes a contracted writer, he doesn't need a guardian, right?" Gu Lu asked.

"Just an ID card and a parent's signature will do." President Jian thought the other party was worried that his parents would not support him if they knew about it, so he added, "Our Youth Literature and Art magazine is known as the cradle of writers. Many famous writers have come out of us, and the social recognition is still quite high, so student Gu Lu doesn't have to worry."

"Okay, President Jian, I'll think about it carefully and let you know the result as soon as I get it."

The novel has not yet been synthesized, so Gu Lu has no confidence.

President Jian did not continue to persuade him upon seeing this. He really admired Gu Lu.

I just had something simple for lunch because I forgot to buy some groceries.

I came to the fat boss's store in the afternoon. Even though the high school entrance examination was approaching, there were still many students playing games on Sundays.

After some research, Gu Lu found out that as long as one won the Ye Shengtao Cup, there was no need to take the results to the admissions office in person. In fact, the admissions offices of good high schools and universities knew the results of the competition earlier than the students themselves.

So the admissions office will take the initiative to find you.

"Then I feel relieved." Gu Lusong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why hasn't "Years of Mystery" been approved yet? It's really slow compared to the story conference." Gu Lu muttered.

"Years" is slow, but time is not slow. Before we knew it, the June issue of "Youth Literature and Art" was released.

That’s right, it’s the issue that published Gu Lu’s works!
