Chapter 144: Jin Ping Mei and Journey to the West
Zhu Ting nodded shyly, bit her lip and said, "Take a look." After that, she turned around and returned to the small office.
Du Fei found it interesting, took a sip of hot tea, and opened Miss Zhu Ting's manuscript...
At this time, Zhu Ting was in the small office. From time to time she stretched her neck and looked out, and found Du Fei reading her manuscript. Her heart was beating for no reason, as if she was back in her childhood waiting for the teacher to mark the papers after taking an exam.
Section Chief Qian, who was sitting opposite, was still holding his copy of "Arsenal of Immortal Machines" and his glasses were placed under the bridge of his nose. Seeing Zhu Ting's appearance, he joked, "Girl, have you recruited that guy Du Fei again?"
Zhu Ting was stunned, glared at Section Chief Qian and said, "What do you mean by recruiting him! Old comrade, please pay attention to your wording."
Section Chief Qian laughed and said, "Girl, are you serious, do you have a crush on our Xiao Du?"
Zhu Ting suddenly blushed and said, "Comrade Qian, what are you talking about!"
Section Chief Qian curled his lips and said deliberately, "There is no best! Let me tell you, girl, pretty boys like Xiao Du don't have any good intentions..."
"Comrade Lao Qian! I'm going to get angry if you keep talking nonsense." Zhu Ting tried her best to keep her face straight, but the blush on her cheeks revealed her obvious lack of confidence.
"Alas~" Section Chief Qian sighed, imitating the tone of Peking Opera's recitation, "Oh~ loyal words are hard to hear~ ah!"
Zhu Ting glared at him again.
Outside, Du Fei read several pages at a glance.
Needless to say, Zhu Ting’s pen writing is so beautiful! The structure of the font has just been improved, the strokes are sharp and full of charm.
In comparison, Du Fei's handwriting is much worse.
By the time it was almost lunch break, Du Fei had already read most of what Zhu Ting had written.
As someone got up and walked out, he also raised his head and stretched.
Zhu Ting came out of the small office and came up to her and said, "Hey~ what do you think?"
Du Fei nodded and said, "Sister Zhu, your hard-pen calligraphy is really good!"
"Who asked you this..." Zhu Ting was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Speak to me properly, don't be so arrogant, is my writing really that bad?"
Du Fei consoled him, "It's actually not that bad. At least the punctuation marks are used correctly."
Zhu Ting was immediately furious, clenching her fists tightly, wanting to go up and beat Du Fei into a mess.
However, she still had to maintain her leadership image in the workplace, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Du Fei, you'd better explain it to me! What's wrong with mine? Otherwise..."
Du Fei instantly felt a murderous aura, but he was very serious and curled his lips and said, "This is what you asked me to say, don't cry later."
Zhu Ting took a deep breath and resisted the urge to strangle Du Fei. "Say it!"
As a literary young woman who graduated from Yan University, this bastard in front of me actually questioned her literary dream!
It is unbearable!
Du Fei was not in a hurry to go to dinner and had time to say, "First of all, hero, what kind of unlucky name is this? Zhan Taiming, why not just call it Zhan Taiming? Why do you want to use such an uncommon compound name? In addition to increasing the number of readers, What's the use of obstacles? I also explained to people many times in the book that my surname is Zhan Tai, not Zhan. Isn't it embarrassing? "
Zhu Ting flattened her mouth.
Du Fei added, "And the murderer, why did he make such a low-level mistake right from the start? He is not like an experienced enemy spy at all. Will the protagonist's defeat of such an enemy show that the protagonist is powerful?"
Zhu Ting was a little speechless.
Du Fei continued, "Think of Professor Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes! Powerful, insidious, cunning, and ferocious! That's the temperament a villain boss should have."
At this time, Zhu Ting could no longer hold her little fist, and she asked without confidence, "Is it really that bad?"
Seeing her pitiful look, Du Fei couldn't bear it, so he calmly said, "Sister Zhu, be more confident and remove the '?'."
Zhu Ting blinked and realized, "You...are so angry with me!" She reached out and grabbed the book on Du Fei's desk.
Du Fei quickly held it down and said with a smile, "Hey~Hey~Sister Zhu, please calm down!"
But inadvertently, my elbow hit something softly~
Zhu Ting took a step back, her face flushed instantly, and she didn't care about grabbing the book. She pouted, stamped her feet, turned around and ran away.
Du Fei reached out and touched his elbow, thinking to himself, "Holy shit, it's really unfathomable!"
After thinking for a while, he picked up the manuscript paper on the table and followed it out.
Du Fei took a few steps into the courtyard and caught up with Zhu Ting. He chuckled and said, "Sister, why are you really angry?"
Zhu Ting's cheeks were still slightly red. She glared at him. When she saw the manuscript paper, she stopped and stretched out her hand and said, "Give it back to me!"
Du Fei said, "Don't worry! I haven't finished reading it yet!"
Zhu Ting snorted and said, "What else are you looking at? You've made me worthless."
Du Fei said, "Why is it worthless? The description of the scene is really good! From far to near, from near to far, it is very picturesque, and the vocabulary is also quite gorgeous. He is worthy of being a top student of Yanda."
Zhu Ting's eyelids were drooped, with a 'you lied' expression on her face.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Don't stand here, let's talk as we walk."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Zhu Ting agreed or not, and walked forward on his own.
Zhu Ting stood awkwardly for a second and then followed.
Du Fei waited for her to come to the side, stopped teasing Menzi, and said seriously, "Sister Zhu, is this your first time writing?"
Zhu Ting said "hmm".
"Actually, as a beginner, these problems in you are nothing." Du Fei continued, "If you can get into Yanda, you must be very good at composition, and you should also be good at poetry and prose. But it is different from these. The essence is to tell a story. As long as the story is told clearly and wonderfully, it doesn’t need to be fancy or fancy, and it can still become an excellent book.”
Zhu Ting pouted and asked, "Tell me, how can we tell the story well?"
Du Fei said concisely and concisely, "If you want to be fascinating, you must have ups and downs."
"Ups and downs?" Zhu Ting frowned.
Du Fei paused, waiting for her to think about it.
Zhu Ting thought for a moment and said, "You mean the plot has twists and turns?"
Du Fei nodded, "It's like the scene in "Jin Ping Mei" where Ximen Qing marries Li Ping'er..."
"Bah~" Zhu Ting's cheeks turned red immediately, and she raised her hand and slapped Du Fei's arm hard, "You don't learn well! What a useless book to read."
Du Fei curled his lips and thought, "You haven't read it and you know it's a bad book?"
However, I also realized that I was a little bit arrogant, so I changed my words and said, "Then the three fights with the Bone Demon in "Journey to the West" are typical ups and downs."
Zhu Ting fell into thinking.
Du Fei said, "Go back and take a good look at Three Strikes of Bone Demons, and change your plot according to that model and see if it's much better."
Zhu Ting had already listened and nodded silently. Zhu Ting nodded shyly, bit her lip and said, "Take a look." After saying that, she turned around and returned to the small office.
Du Fei found it interesting, took a sip of hot tea, and opened Miss Zhu Ting's manuscript...
At this time, Zhu Ting was in the small office. From time to time she stretched her neck and looked out, and found Du Fei reading her manuscript. Her heart was beating for no reason, as if she was back in her childhood waiting for the teacher to mark the papers after taking an exam.
Section Chief Qian, who was sitting across from him, was still holding his copy of "Arsenal of Immortal Machines" and his glasses were placed under the bridge of his nose. Seeing Zhu Ting's appearance, he joked, "Girl, have you recruited that guy Du Fei again?"
Zhu Ting was stunned, glared at Section Chief Qian and said, "What do you mean by recruiting him! Old comrade, please pay attention to your wording."

Zhu Ting took a step back, her face flushed instantly, and she didn't care about grabbing the book. She pouted, stamped her feet, turned around and ran away.
Du Fei reached out and touched his elbow, thinking to himself, "Fuck, you are really unfathomable!"
After thinking for a while, he picked up the manuscript on the table and followed him out.
In the yard, Du Fei rushed a few steps and caught up with Zhu Ting, laughing and saying, "Sister, why are you really angry?"
Zhu Ting's cheeks were still slightly red. She glared at him, saw the manuscript, stopped and stretched out her hand and said, "Give it back to me!"
Du Fei said, "Don't worry! I haven't finished reading it yet!"
Zhu Ting snorted and said, "What are you still reading? You have devalued it to nothing."
Du Fei said, "Why is it worthless? The scene description is really good! From far to near, from near to far, it is very vivid, and the words are also very gorgeous. You are worthy of being a top student of Yanda University."
Zhu Ting drooped her eyelids, with an expression of "you are lying".
Du Fei smiled and said, "Don't stand here, let's talk while walking."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Zhu Ting agreed or not, and walked forward first.
Zhu Ting stood there awkwardly for a second, but followed him.
Du Fei waited for her to walk to the side, and stopped teasing her. He said seriously, "Sister Zhu, is this your first time writing?"
Zhu Ting said "hmm".
"Actually, as a beginner, these problems are nothing." Du Fei continued, "You can be admitted to Yanda, so your composition must be very good, and your poetry and prose should also be well written. But it is different from these. The essence is to tell a story. As long as the story is told clearly and brilliantly, the words do not need to be too gorgeous, and it can still be an excellent one."
Zhu Ting pouted and asked, "Then tell me, how can you tell a good story?"
Du Fei said concisely, "If you want to be fascinating, you must have ups and downs."
"Ups and downs?" Zhu Ting frowned.
Du Fei paused and waited for her to figure it out.
Zhu Ting thought for a moment and said, "You mean the plot should have twists and turns?"
Du Fei nodded, "Like in "Jin Ping Mei", the part where Ximen Qing married Li Ping'er..."
"Bah~" Zhu Ting's cheeks immediately turned red again, and she raised her hand and slapped Du Fei's arm fiercely, "You are not a good student! What a crappy book."
Du Fei curled his lips, thinking, you don't know it's a crappy book if you haven't read it?
But he also realized that he was a little reckless, and changed his words, "Then let's take "Journey to the West" and the three fights with the white bone demon, which is a typical ups and downs."
Zhu Ting fell into thought.
Du Fei said, "Go back and take a good look at the three fights with the white bone demon, and change your plot according to that model to see if it is much better."
Zhu Ting had listened to it and nodded silently.
