Chapter 41 I Really Don’t Want to Be Famous!
"High School Literature World" is a magazine aimed at high school campuses. It is a comprehensive high school reading material led by the Shenhai Education Department and founded by Shenhai Education Journal and Shenhai Education Examination Office. It has been ten years since its establishment and has always insisted on providing spiritual services to students.
The articles in it are all from teachers and students of Shenhai High School, as well as contributions from the public, including some famous writers. There are also contracted writers of "High School Literature World", and the requirements to become a contracted writer are quite demanding. Not only must the articles be well written, but also a certain degree of fame is required.
Now that "High School Literature World" is looking for Chen Xiaoxin to become a contracted writer, the Chinese teacher was shocked for a moment, and his face was full of helplessness. This is not only an honor for Chen Xiaoxin, but also a highlight on his resume.
"Good good!"
"I will go find Chen Xiaoxin now and ask him what he thinks." The Chinese teacher replied quickly.
"Ok."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, the Chinese teacher still couldn't calm down. He kept taking deep breaths and trying to regulate his mood. But no matter what he did, the surging emotion deep in his heart was like a huge wave, constantly hitting the bank of his heart and stirring up huge waves.
"Lao Yang?"
"What's going on with you?"
A teacher in the group saw his excitement and asked in confusion, "Is your wife going to give birth?"
Teacher Yang rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Why give birth? How can you give birth when you are almost in menopause? I just received a phone call. Guess who called?"
"How should we know?"
"Alright, alright. Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us what happened." The teacher pursed his lips and replied indifferently.
Teacher Yang took a deep breath and said to everyone present earnestly, "I just received a call from the editor of High School Literature World, and they told me that they want Chen Xiaoxin to become a contracted writer for High School Literature World."
As soon as the words fell,
There was an uproar in the Chinese language office.
"A student becomes a contracted author for High School Literature World? This is unheard of! Could Lao Yang be a liar? If he asks you to pay a contract fee or something, you'd better check it carefully."
"Scammers are rampant nowadays, Lao Yang, don't be fooled."
"It's best to call their person in charge and ask."
It's not that these teachers are jealous. After all, there are scammers everywhere these days, and their tricks are all kinds of strange. It's just a phone call. It's somewhat fake.
Teacher Yang immediately called "High School Literature World" and after several twists and turns he finally got in touch with the person in charge, who told him that this was indeed the case.
"The article "Rose" written by Chen Xiaoxin has a particularly high literary value. It depicts the real dilemma and the status of students in just a few hundred words. Such literary ability is rare even among famous writers. Therefore, after careful consideration by the editorial department, we finally decided to invite him to become a contracted author."
After hearing the answer from the person in charge, Teacher Yang's breathing became a little rapid. He suppressed his emotions and said seriously, "I am very grateful to High School Literature World for giving Chen Xiaoxin a chance to show his talent. In fact, he is not only good at modern literature, but also excellent in classical Chinese, especially classical Chinese writing."
After that, Teacher Yang chatted with the other party for a few words, then hung up the phone silently. Looking at the eyes of all the colleagues in the group, he answered seriously: "It is confirmed that they really want to invite Chen Xiaoxin to become a contracted author."
"Oh my God! This is the first time I've ever seen a student from our school become a contracted writer for High School Literature World!"
"This is incredible! This is really incredible! This is the official campus magazine, it has far-reaching significance!" "Lao Yang! Lao Yang! Go and ask Chen Xiaoxin what he thinks, and make sure this matter is settled. If he doesn't want to, you must persuade him. If he becomes a contracted writer for High School Literature World, it will not only be a recognition of you, but also a recognition of our senior year Chinese language group."
"Yes, yes, yes! Lao Yang, go quickly."
Soon Teacher Yang left the office and hurried to the door of Class 2, Grade 3, then called Chen Xiaoxin out. The two were in a corner of the office building, and Teacher Yang narrated the matter seriously.
"what?"
"Invite me to become a contracted writer for High School Literature World?"
After Chen Xiaoxin heard this, he was instantly devastated. His composition was written like shit. Isn't this embarrassing?
"I submitted your article "Rose" to them, and then their editor saw it. After several reports, they held an internal meeting and discussed it. The final result was that they invited you to become their contracted writer." Teacher Yang said earnestly: "Chen Xiaoxin, this is a rare opportunity, you must seize it!"
"me."
Chen Xiaoxin was speechless and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't tell the teacher that the article "Rose" was written by a ghostwriter.
"What? Don't you want to?"
Teacher Yang saw that Chen Xiaoxin was a little hesitant, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Chen Xiaoxin, I know you are very good at math. The whole school is saying that you have the level of being in the top five in the national math competition, but...but don't give up literature! The power of words is no less than that of math!"
"Teacher, you misunderstood." Chen Xiaoxin replied awkwardly: "I am worried about myself. I don't have the ability."
"No, no, no!"
Teacher Yang smiled helplessly and said, "Don't be modest at this time. Chen Xiaoxin, listen to the teacher's advice. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is the first time in so many years that we have invited students to become contracted writers. The key is that this will be very helpful for your future. Your resume will look good. And I don't ask you to write every day. One article a month at most will be enough."
Seeing that the teacher had said so much, Chen Xiaoxin felt that it would be a bit too much if he didn't agree. In the end, he nodded helplessly and replied, "Okay. Then. I'll listen to you, Teacher Yang. When is the next submission?"
Hearing Chen Xiaoxin's agreement, Teacher Yang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know yet, I will come to you to ask for an article when the time comes."
"Oh"
"But I'm still studying. Why don't you let them contact you and then tell me." Chen Xiaoxin said, "I'll write the article and you can send it to them."
"That's fine." Teacher Yang nodded.
Chen Xiaoxin returned to the classroom and sat there in a daze.
Yan Xiaoxi secretly glanced at him, and seeing his serious expression, she couldn't help but feel a little curious, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
"Hey"
"The article 'Rose' you wrote for me was submitted by my Chinese teacher, and then 'High School Literature World' invited me to become their contracted writer." Chen Xiaoxin replied bitterly: "I'm going to be famous again... Actually, I really don't want to be famous!"
At this moment, Yan Xiaoxi clenched his fists tightly, veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes were full of murderous rage.
I. I am so freaking angry!!!
