Chapter 76 "The Heroes of the Jianghu"
Hearing Luoyang said that he wanted to submit a manuscript, Luo Dashan couldn't help laughing and said: "Stop making trouble, you should study hard. The second uncle knows that you want to help the second uncle, but the rules and regulations are not as simple as you think. , you’d better graduate safely and find a good job in the future.”
This preaching tone was exactly the same as that of his mother. Luoyang did not refute, but just smiled and said: "Okay, I understand."
After ending this topic, the two of them chatted about some trivial matters in life. Most of the time, Luo Dashan was talking and Luoyang was listening. It can be felt from Luo Dashan's language that Luo Dashan is still very fond of Luoyang, his nephew. of.
Five minutes later, the uncle and nephew found a restaurant for dinner. Not only did they order a table of dishes, Luo Dashan also added a bottle of liquor with a high alcohol content.
"Have a couple of drinks with your second uncle?" Luo Dashan pointed to a bottle of white wine on the table and said with a smile.
Luoyang nodded, opened the bottle cap, took the initiative to fill up his second uncle's wine glass, and then poured a glass himself: "Second uncle, I'll do it first as a token of respect."
After saying that, Luoyang drank the wine in the wine glass without blushing or out of breath.
"You can drink well. When did you master it?" Luo Dashan was surprised to see Luoyang drink a glass of white wine easily without losing breath.
"I usually drink with my classmates." Luoyang said casually.
"Drink less from now on. You are the most promising boy in our family. You must never be like me in the future." Luo Dashan became habitually talkative again.
"I will pay attention." Luoyang responded. In fact, Luoyang has never met anyone who drinks more than him.
Luo Dashan weighed the liquor, raised his glass, and drank it in one gulp.
However, Luo Dashan's drinking capacity was obviously not as high as Luoyang's. After drinking a glass of wine, he immediately took a breath and a blush quickly appeared on his face.
Seeing that Luo Dashan's drinking capacity was average, Luoyang was about to persuade him to drink less. Luo Dashan had quickly refilled his glass and said to Luoyang: "Come on, come on, have another drink."
Luoyang had no choice but to pour wine and continue drinking with him.
For a while, the uncle and nephew didn't eat a few bites of food, but drank a lot of wine.
After a few glasses of wine, Luo Dashan's head began to feel confused, and he began to stutter when speaking: "Luoyang, when you enter the society in the future, you must remember to be cautious. This society is really evil... "
Luoyang seemed to hear something unspeakable, and subconsciously asked: "Did something happen to my second uncle?"
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, or because of Luoyang's calmness, that Luo Dashan suddenly started chatting: "It's not just the company's troubles. If someone hadn't interfered with it, my uncle and I wouldn't have been in such a miserable state. Finally, I was transferred to a branch that is facing the crisis of disbandment at this moment."
"Branch?" Luoyang was slightly stunned.
He originally thought that Xiake Magazine was just a small workshop founded by one person, but he never expected that it would be a branch of a certain magazine.
"Although our "Xia Ke Magazine" is not well-known, if we talk about "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", you should have heard about it, right?" Luo Dashan took a bite of fried pork, and then said with a big tongue.
Luoyang nodded.
This is the first time I heard about "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", but Luoyang is no stranger to "Xia Ke Jiang Hu".
"Xia Ke Jiang Hu" is a large magazine that specializes in serializing martial arts novels. Its annual sales volume has even reached the top three in the Dragon Kingdom. However, as the martial arts novels declined, it gradually declined.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the sales of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" have plummeted in recent years, it is still a famous magazine in Long Kingdom. Those martial arts novel lovers still have great expectations for this magazine. emotion.
Luo Dashan said: "Our "Xia Ke Magazine" is a magazine under "Xia Ke Jiang Hu"."
"This..." Luoyang didn't expect that behind this shabby "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", there was such a big guy as "Xia Ke Jiang Hu".
"The works serialized in "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" are all long-form martial arts, and readers are very sticky, while our "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" specializes in serializing short martial arts stories. Unfortunately, few people can write wonderful short martial arts stories, so now "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" "Xia Ke Magazine" is getting worse day by day and is facing disbandment at any time," Luo Dashan explained.
Only then did Luoyang understand the reason.
It seems that "Xia Ke Jiang Hu", a magazine that once had a high sales volume, also has a lot of ambitions. It actually founded a separate magazine focusing on short martial arts.
It is a pity that long-form martial arts is not difficult to write, and anyone can write a dozen chapters at will, but few people can write short martial arts works well.
With the gradual decline of martial arts, long-form martial arts have begun to lose popularity, let alone short-form martial arts that are difficult to shine, so this is destined to be a failed attempt.
"Then who pushed you into such a thankless branch?" Luoyang asked again.
"Actually, it's not considered exclusionary..."
Luo Dashan's face suddenly turned red. He didn't know whether it was because of the wine or because he was ashamed. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "When I was provoked by someone, my head felt hot, so I volunteered to come here..."
Luoyang couldn't help but smile.
Or should we say that everyone who likes martial arts has this kind of second degree in their bones?
"Then...Second uncle, do you want to go back?" Luoyang asked, but received no answer.
There was a slight snoring in his ears. Luoyang took a closer look and found that Luo Dashan had fallen asleep drunkenly on the table at some point.
"This alcohol tolerance is really drunk." Looking at Luo Dashan sleeping soundly, Luoyang smiled bitterly. He had encountered similar things more than once. The last time, it seemed that Liu Qin got drunk in front of him...
Or is it a mistake to have a good alcohol tolerance?
Roughly estimated, Luo Dashan's body is at least more than 160 kilograms. If he is drunk like this, should he carry him back by himself?
Well, although the task is a bit difficult, Luoyang still used all his strength with the help of the hotel waiter to lift Luo Dashan into the taxi.
As soon as he returned to the run-down small magazine, he met the editor-in-chief who had scolded Luo Dashan before.
"Why is he drunk?" The editor-in-chief hurried over and supported the shaky Luo Dashan with Luoyang.
"I didn't expect that my second uncle had such a poor alcohol tolerance and kept asking me to drink." Luoyang rubbed his sore shoulders and smiled bitterly.
"Ah." The editor sighed: "He must be depressed. In fact, your second uncle is capable, but he has to give in here."
"You..."
"My name is Zhou Hai." The editor said.
"Hello, editor Zhou, please take care of my second uncle." Luoyang said politely. He could feel that this editor named Zhou Hai was a good person.
Zhou Hai nodded and said: "I just received an order from the headquarters. If our magazine does not improve next month, it will be forcibly disbanded. I have resigned now. Your second uncle will become the new editor here, but it is estimated that he will only be the editor for a month... Then you can persuade your second uncle more."
Luoyang was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded thoughtfully.
