Chapter 72: Really Pregnant
The manuscript needs to be continued, Gu Fuqiao considered revising the short story a bit for resubmission, but the little poems can still be submitted because there’s nothing major wrong with them. The journal she previously submitted to is a core journal, which has low requirements for stories but high ones for poetry and prose.
After modifying two articles, Chen Bajin came to her. Chen Bajin invited her to go to the bookstore to buy books together because she felt she hadn’t read enough books, making it hard for her to get published. Gu Fuqiao just remembered the bookstore she visited last time, so she nodded in agreement.
She went to the same bookstore as before with Chen Bajin, the bookstore staff seemed to remember her. As soon as they saw her, they came over and said, "Comrade, finally you’ve come."
Chen Bajin was a bit surprised, "Are you a regular here?"
Gu Fuqiao shook her head and said, "No, I just came once before when I wanted to buy a book."
"I see." Chen Bajin nodded and then looked around the bookstore and said, "The variety of books here is really comprehensive, even has some foreign books."
"Indeed, our collection is very complete because upstairs is directly the Writers Association." The young man said proudly and then addressed Gu Fuqiao, "Comrade, last time I asked our Brother Mo for you, and he said there’s no problem!"
With his reminder, Gu Fuqiao recalled that she was interested in a book at the time, but the staff told her it was an internal exchange book by the Authors Association and not for sale.
"Is that so? Then thank your boss." Gu Fuqiao went to the shelf from before and took down the book she wanted last time.
Chen Bajin leaned in to take a look and was a bit shocked after catching a glimpse of the content. "The perspectives in this book are really... sensational!"
