Chapter 1118 Start Reading the Manuscript
Remember in one second【】
After hearing this, Eiji Aoyama pondered for a moment and said: "Opportunities will always appear. This time, the Chinese media and the Internet did not create public opinion or criticism that was not conducive to Li Fan. It does not mean that it will not be the same next time. . Moreover, even if Li Fan does not accept the invitation to participate this time, we still have a lot to do. As long as we do it well, we will still achieve good results."
Nagao Kazta nodded and said: "That's right. Li Fan doesn't accept our invitation to participate. No matter what the reason is, we can create many reasons for him. Damn it, the effect will be very good indeed. For example, we can do this..."
Nagao Kazuta and Aoyama Eiji struck while the iron was hot and began to discuss how to make a fuss about Li Fan's refusal to participate and achieve the most satisfactory results?
The two were discussing vigorously when the assistant knocked on the door and came in and said: "I'm sorry, President, I just received the email and Li Fan's entries have been sent."
The assistant's words made Nagao Kazuta and Aoyama Nagaiharu both stunned at the same time. We were discussing how to make a fuss here, and the kid's entries were passed over? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Nagao Kazta confirmed: "You mean Li Fan's entries have been sent?"
The assistant replied: "Yes, President."
Nagao Kazta and Aoyama Eiji looked at each other, Nagao Kazta said: "Aoyama, what do you think?"
Aoyama Nagaji reacted quickly and laughed: "Nagao, this is a good thing! Aren't we always looking forward to him being able to compete?"
Nagao Kazuta thought to himself, "Yes, haven't we been waiting? Now the good news is here. However, what we just discussed is of no use. Well, it's a pity."
I was thinking it was a pity, but I said to my assistant calmly: "Please ask the translator to translate Li Fan's manuscript as quickly as possible, and then print it out after the translation is completed. , just print 20 copies. After printing, take it to the conference room and notify the editors responsible for reviewing the manuscripts of this competition to come to the conference room for a meeting."
"President, I don't think a translation is needed because Li Fan's submission is written in the island language," the assistant said.
"Written in island language?" Nagao Kazuta was a little surprised, "Did he specially find someone to translate the manuscript before submitting it? This actually saved us a lot of time. If so, let's just print it out. "
"Okay, president, I'll do it right away." The assistant agreed and left.
After the assistant goes out,
Nagao Kazuta smiled and said: "It seems that that boy has his heart and saved us a lot of time. But, what we just discussed is useless."
Qingchun Yongzhi said: "It doesn't matter, now a better opportunity has come, we can do better things."
Nagao Kazta nodded and said: "That's true. However, there is no public criticism in China. Li Fan still participated in the competition. This is actually a bit beyond my expectation."
Aoyama Yongji said: "After all, he is still a young man, and he is very competitive. To be honest, this makes me look down upon him."
Both of them were in a good mood. About ten minutes later, the assistant knocked on the door again and said: "President, Li Fan's submission has been printed out and placed in the conference room, and the editors have also passed by. "
Nagao Kazta nodded and said to Aoyama Nagaji: "Aoyama, let's go there too."
Aoyama Nagaji nodded, got up and walked to the conference room with Nagao Kazuta.
In the conference room, more than 20 editors responsible for reviewing manuscripts for this competition were all sitting, talking quietly at this time.
"It's a bit surprising that Li Fan of China actually submitted the article. I wonder what era and background he chose for this time?"
"You don't need to look at it to know that it must be based on ancient China. The quality of those products is indeed good. It's just a pity that they are not very popular in our island country. This time, Li Fan is going to be embarrassed. Alas! Why come to compete? ?”
"Perhaps he is confident enough to win this competition. He does have this ability, but it can only be said that he doesn't know much about our island people's preference for mystery novels."
"Yes, in fact, even if Li Fan loses to our island country this time, we are not qualified to laugh at others. It's just a pity that many people and some media don't think so."
"Shh! You have to keep your voice down. It won't be good for it to spread."
"..."
While the editors were discussing, Nagao Kazuta, Aoyama Eiji, and Nagao Kazuta's assistants walked into the conference room.
The editors immediately fell silent.
After Nagao Kazuta and Aoyama Eiji sat down respectively, there was no opening remarks. Nagao Kazuta said directly: "I think everyone knows the purpose of this meeting, so I won't say more. Zesheng, please send the manuscript to everyone. .”
The assistant agreed, picked up the manuscript he had placed here before, and sent it to each editor.
Nagao Kazuta and Aoyama Nagaji naturally also had a share.
After receiving the manuscript, the first reaction of the editors was to be stunned, why is it so thick? Is it a long story?
So far, they have received no long-form submissions.
Of course, it's not impossible to use a long novel. After the editors were stunned, they looked at the title of the book, "The Devotion of Suspect X". Well, it was a little weird.
However, the editors did not pay attention and continued to read the text.
"At 7:35 in the morning, Shi Shen walked out of the apartment as usual. Even though it was March, the wind was still quite cold. He buried his chin in the

In the scarf.
Before walking onto the road, he glanced at where the bikes were. There were a few cars parked there, but there was no green bicycle that he cared about.
…”
At first, there was nothing interesting about it, but soon, the editors were surprised.
They discovered that Li Fan's novel called "The Devotion of Suspect X" was actually set in the modern day of the island country.
Moreover, it looks a bit like the island country in the 1990s.
Is this really the product of Li Fan from China? The editors couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Nagao Kazuta and Aoyama Nagaji naturally had the same doubts in their hearts.
Nagao Kazta frowned slightly and said to his assistant: "Zesheng, is this really the manuscript submitted by Li Fan of China?"
The assistant replied with certainty: "Yes, President, you will never go wrong."
Nagao Kazta nodded and said: "Let's continue reading. The reason why Li Fan chose the 1990s in my country as the background of the novel is that he also knows the Chinese people's preference for mystery novels. This is not surprising. "
The editors nodded. This was indeed not a big deal.
However, in order to cater to the preferences of the people of their island country, Li Fan deliberately set the background of the novel in modern times, which he is not good at, and it is also the modern times of their country. Is there really any problem with this?
Is there anything attractive about this long novel with a lot of words?
The editors shook their heads. They did not think that Li Fan made the right choice.

Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
