Chapter 141: The Waiter at the Military Control Shop
December 12th is the day when the latest issue of "Human Name Literature" is published.
Mr. Wang arrived at the office early in the morning and watered the flowers and plants in the office with a kettle.
"boom!"
A young man hurried in, "Uncle, Human Name Literature has been published."
The old man surnamed Wang said with a smile: "I know. Why? Can't wait to see your work?"
The young man said eagerly, “I don’t see my work on it.”
"What?" The old man surnamed Wang frowned and turned back, "How is that possible? I saw with my own eyes that the manuscript was sent to the printing factory."
"Uncle, can I lie to you? If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself!"
The old man surnamed Wang took the magazine handed over by the young man, opened the catalog and saw that there was indeed no novel written by the young man. He scanned the catalog again and immediately found the work that replaced the young man's work.
Infiltration…………Liu Hongmin.
This name, which is very popular in the eyes of countless people, is particularly eye-catching in the eyes of the old man surnamed Wang.
"It's that bastard again!"
The old man surnamed Wang stood up suddenly and took the young man directly to find Liu Xinwu.
"Liu Xinwu, what do you mean? Why did you temporarily replace Song Zhuo's work?"
The young man is called Song Zhuo, a junior who is very close to Mr. Wang. Song Zhuo has some talent and his works are also very good. However, he has been writing tofu-block articles in newspapers before. This is his first time to write a novel, so he asked Mr. Wang for help. Mr. Wang not only helped him check, but also personally instructed him to make some changes.
So, Liu Xinwu replaced Song Zhuo's work, which was equivalent to replacing the work of Mr. Wang. Moreover, it was replaced with Liu Hongmin's novel. How could Mr. Wang accept this?
Liu Xinwu didn't care. When he decided to replace Song Zhuoxiao, he had already expected the current situation to happen.
"It's Mr. Wang! Sit down and talk!"
"Why are you sitting?" The old man surnamed Wang rushed to Liu Xinwu's desk angrily and slammed the magazine in front of Liu Xinwu.
"Tell me what's going on? Why did you replace Song Zhuo's work with Liu Hongmin?"
Liu Xinwu smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, what did I say when you sent me the manuscript?"
The old man surnamed Wang was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
Liu Xinwu: "Did I say that Song Zhuo's work is still a little immature, and if there are no other alternative works, I will arrange it in this issue?"
"Yes!" The old man surnamed Wang nodded, "That's what you said at the time."
Liu Xinwu spread his hands and said, "Now that there is a replacement work, I will take out Song Zhuo's. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
When Song Zhuo heard this, he looked at the old man surnamed Wang in silence. The old man surnamed Wang waved his hands quickly, "Song Zhuo's manuscript has been sent to the printing factory, how can you change the manuscript at this time?"
"Hasn't it been printed yet?" Liu Xinwu said with a smile, "Besides, this is Liu Hongmin's novel. Mr. Wang, you can go to other magazines and ask if they would publish Liu Hongmin's novel?" The old man surnamed Wang said dissatisfiedly, "I know he is a little famous, but you can't be so unruly."
Liu Xinwu reminded him, "Mr. Wang, Liu Hongmin's novel is very interesting. You probably haven't read it yet, right?"
When Mr. Wang heard this, he really stopped pestering her. He grabbed the magazine and left Liu Xinwu's office angrily.
Song Zhuo followed him and returned to the old man surnamed Wang's office. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, what should we do now?"
The old man surnamed Wang comforted him, "It's okay. Since Liu Xinwu has accepted your manuscript, he will definitely publish it. But when it will be published depends on luck."
When Song Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
"I'm responsible for this!" said the old man surnamed Wang, "You go back first. I want to see what Liu Hongmin wrote."
Song Zhuo knew that the old man surnamed Wang hated Liu Hongmin, so he had to leave first.
After he left, Mr. Wang couldn't wait to open the magazine, found the page of "Infiltration" and started reading. After reading one page, he threw the magazine on the table.
"This bastard, he's provoking me!"
That's right, Liu Hongmin was provoking. Not only was he provoking the old man surnamed Wang, he was also provoking the people and forces behind him.
"Infiltration" is not very literary, but it is full of entertainment. The humorous style and dialogue are too friendly for ordinary audiences. It has a strong storytelling nature, and reading it feels like watching "Story Club". But what you can see in this novel is not comparable to "Story Club".
The main character Xu Zhongyi is portrayed very well, and many readers are deeply impressed by this waiter in the military control shop. They thought Xu Zhongyi had a prototype, but when they searched the history of the liberation of Fengtian, they found no similar ancestor Ge Min.
Many articles commenting on "Infiltration" were published in newspapers. Some people said that Liu Hongmin's article was full of jokes, anger and scolding. However, those who opposed it thought that Liu Hongmin was just making fun of himself.
Liu Hongmin didn't care about these comments. He handed "Infiltration" to Beijing University Press and asked them to print it as soon as possible and sell it nationwide. Then, through Director Wang, he sent "Infiltration" to radio stations in major cities and asked them to make it into a radio drama or radio novel for free.
Before the New Year, the whole country was full of "Infiltration". The nickname of the Military Control Office Waiter had become a hot word. If someone didn't know it, they might be despised.
The reason why people are so concerned about the nickname "Military Control Shop Waiter" is because Xu Zhongyi's ability to make money is very consistent with the current era. People who have been poor for a long time want to make a lot of money and change their lives. If Xu Zhongyi's way of making money is not unsuitable for the present, I'm afraid someone would have done it.
With such a large scale, the corruption of the Green Party was fully exposed to the people of the country. Even the illiterate people knew about the corruption of the Green Party.
What the Chinese people hate most is corrupt officials. After watching "Infiltration", they all cursed the Green Party. Then they would praise our party for liberating the whole of China and establishing a new China.
People like the old man surnamed Wang were so angry that they wanted to discredit "Infiltration", but in the midst of public outcry, they dared not say too much for fear of being exposed.
They would not sit still and wait for death, so they urgently looked for Liu Hongmin's flaws and wanted to discredit him. Now that Liu Hongmin has become a representative of patriotic literati, destroying the symbol of Liu Hongmin has become a top priority.
So, they began to smear Liu Hongmin, writing articles to imply that Liu Hongmin was a waiter in a military shop according to their own writings. Liu Hongmin made so much money, he must have used illegal means, and they found out the truth after checking.
This statement is still popular among those who do not know the truth. Many people become hostile to the rich after being poor for a long time. We are all the same people, why do you make so much money?
Some people even directly reported Liu Hongmin, hoping that the country would punish him as a "corrupt official."
Liu Hongmin was so angry when he saw the news. These people really racked their brains!
