The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 128 The truth is revealed, but people still have to express gratitude?

Anyone who has read "Dream of the Red Chamber" can more or less feel a sense of disconnection between the first eighty chapters and the last forty chapters.

Although there is still a lot of controversy in the Redology community about who wrote the last forty chapters.

But it is basically a consensus that the two were not written by the same person.

The beginning part of "Desire" was written by Jiang Hui, and the middle part was given to Zhu Lin.

Although the framework of the story and the plot of each chapter have not changed, Jiang Hui has been controlling the rhythm.

However, the content of each chapter was not written by Jiang Hui himself, and there will be obvious differences in the choice of words and sentences.

At the beginning, neither the readers nor the editor Ge Suhong may have had much reaction.

But as more content is serialized, the situation becomes different.

Especially in the latest issue, because the manuscript had enough words, "People's Literature" directly serialized 100,000 words, which pushed the plot to the second half in one go.

In this case, the differences between some of the texts can be clearly felt.

Ge Suhong and her editorial office have recently received a number of letters and even phone calls from readers asking if something had happened to the author of Desire, otherwise why there were such big changes between the beginning and the end?
"Xiao Ge, go to Jiang Hui today and trick him. Ask him why he hired someone to write for him."

As the head of the novel group, Cui Yongfang can now basically confirm that the current content of "Desire" was not written by the same person as the original one.

Either the beginning content was not written by Jiang Hui himself, or the current content is not.

Anyway, there must be something going on inside.

Otherwise it can't be explained.

"What if the other party gets angry and refuses to provide us with the manuscript?"

Ge Suhong obviously didn't want to ruin her relationship with Jiang Hui.

Although there are some obvious changes in the style of the first and second parts of "Desire", it does not mean that the writing level has declined.

On the contrary, she felt that the current chapters were written more delicately and the descriptions of some emotions were much more vivid than before.

Otherwise, the change in style between the beginning and the end was a bit obvious, and she felt that this change was the result of Jiang Hui's improved writing level.

"It shouldn't be the case. I met him last time and I think he has a pretty good ability to control his emotions."

Cui Yongfang recalled the scene when he met Jiang Hui, and felt more confident.

"Okay, I won't be able to sleep until this matter is sorted out."

"Instead of waiting for this matter to ferment, it is better to find out the situation in advance and discuss countermeasures."

Ge Suhong took a deep breath and prepared to pack up and go find Jiang Hui.

"I have also asked someone about his situation these days. He seems to be quite important in the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant and has a bright future."

"No matter what the actual situation is, you should communicate with him and think about the problem from his perspective."

Cui Yongfang obviously didn't want to drive such an excellent author like Jiang Hui to other magazines.

So I gave a few specific instructions.

"Yes, I know."

After saying this, Ge Suhong took some things and went out.

Along the way, she thought about the scene of coming here to pick up the manuscript during this period, and a bold guess came to her mind.

Manuscripts of this era were almost all handwritten, and there is a clear difference between Jiang Hui's handwriting and Zhu Lin's.

Now that I think about it, the writing style of Desire began to change, and it seems that it was when the handwriting first began to change.

It’s just that the style changes in the content of each chapter that time were very slight, and you can’t feel it unless you think about it specifically.

Is it possible that Jiang Hui did not ask Zhu Lin to help copy the manuscript, but directly asked Zhu Lin to write it for him?

After this thought came to her mind, Ge Suhong felt more and more that this should be the truth.

So when she arrived at the dormitory building of the clinic, she did not wait at the gate as usual, but went straight upstairs to Jiang Hui's dormitory.

Just like the first time he came, Zhu Lin left work early and prepared dinner in the dormitory alone. Jiang Hui's workplace was some distance away from here, so he would have to wait a while before returning.

"Editor Ge, you're here."

Zhu Lin was now somewhat familiar with Ge Suhong, so he was not surprised to see Ge Suhong coming to his house.

"Zhu Lin, it was a wise decision for Jiang Hui to give you the writing of Desire. I think the chapters you wrote are better than the ones he wrote before."

After Ge Suhong said this, Zhu Lin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, I just tried my best to fill in the details according to the framework and content he gave."

Zhu Lin thought that Jiang Hui had already told Ge Suhong about his ghostwriting of "Desire", otherwise why would the other party speak like that?

Little did she know that Ge Suhong was completely deceiving her.

"You should have told me earlier, so I wouldn't be so passive."

"Now some readers have noticed the obvious difference between the previous and the next paragraphs, and they have written to ask what is going on."

Ge Suhong suppressed her inner surprise and pretended that she had known it for a long time.

She didn't expect that it would be so easy to trick someone.

The beginning and the following content of "Desire" were actually written by Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin respectively.

This is a joke!

"what?"

"Has this been exposed?"

Zhu Lin was a little panicked.

Ge Suhong would know, and she was mentally prepared for this.

After all, the handwriting of each manuscript is no longer the same as the original one.

If people don't have any doubts at all, then it must be fake.

It’s just that the framework of the story has not changed, the climax has not changed, and there is no problem with the direction of the plot, so Ge ​​Suhong didn’t think too much about it.

"Indeed, many people have doubts, but we can also explain it by saying that the author's writing style is constantly evolving, so the problem is not that big."

Since the current content of "Desire" was written by Zhu Lin under the guidance of Jiang Hui, there is no need to worry too much about it.

In any case, the level has not declined, and the sales of each issue of "People's Literature" is still increasing.

There was even a private increase in the price of People's Literature, which first published "Desire", in the second-hand market.

This is definitely the greatest affirmation of "Desire".

The couple wanted to play like this, and there was very little Ge Suhong could do except helping to clean up their mess.

"Then I'll have to trouble Editor Ge. Jiang Hui is really too busy these days and has no time to write."

"I think it would be a shame if such a good novel like Desire suddenly stopped updating, so I asked him to tell me the plot and I will transcribe it in detail."

Zhu Lin directly took the responsibility of ghostwriting "Desire" on himself.

But Ge Suhong was a little frightened after hearing this!

Jiang Hui actually thought about stopping updating "Desire"?
Fortunately, this did not happen, otherwise she would be in big trouble.

So, I have to thank Zhu Lin?

"Jiang Hui is a technical backbone at the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant, so it's normal for him to be busy."

"But after get off work, does he still have to be busy with things in the factory?"

Ge Suhong felt that she needed to clarify the situation, otherwise she always felt that she didn't know when the thunder would burst. Besides, Jiang Hui hadn't come back yet, and the two of them had to find something to talk about.

Otherwise, we can't just sit there awkwardly, right?
"The First Ministry of Machine Building asked him to translate some foreign documents, so he couldn't be idle after get off work."

Ge Suhong was quite surprised when Zhu Lin said this.

"Is Jiang Hui good at foreign languages?"

In this day and age, except for those who study foreign languages ​​professionally, few ordinary people have a good level of foreign language proficiency.

This is true even for so-called college students.

"It's really good. He speaks English, Japanese and German very well. The translation materials provided by the First Ministry of Machine Building now include American, German and Japanese translations."

Zhu Lin would definitely not miss such an opportunity to "show off" her husband.

Her doing this also had another effect, which was to make Ge Suhong pay more attention to Jiang Hui.

Even if Jiang Hui no longer writes novels himself in the future, if he is willing to guide himself, then the couple will still be very valuable to People's Literature.

"Proficient in three foreign languages?"

This time Ge Suhong was really surprised.

If she didn't know that Zhu Lin had no need to lie to her about such a thing, she really couldn't believe that Jiang Hui, a worker-peasant-soldier college student, was proficient in three foreign languages.

Even though she was a top student at Yenching University, she didn't dare to say that she was proficient in a foreign language.

"It depends on how you understand the word proficient."

"If we only talk about oral communication and translation of documents, Jiang Hui is indeed proficient in three foreign languages."

Ge Suhong: ...

If we can communicate verbally and translate documents, what other methods of understanding are needed?
It seems that I still don’t know Jiang Hui and his wife well enough.

Fortunately, the two of them didn’t communicate for too long, and Jiang Hui came back.

"I was wondering why I heard the magpie calling when I went out today. It turns out that a distinguished guest came to visit."

Jiang Hui was familiar with Ge Suhong, so he was not surprised at all to see her sitting on her chair.

"Where did the magpie come from in the middle of winter?"

Ge Suhong rolled her eyes speechlessly.

It seems that the destructive power of my editing is a little small.

"hey-hey!"

"It's just a metaphor."

Jiang Hui put down the briefcase in his hand and sat opposite Ge Suhong.

Zhu Lin skillfully poured an enamel cup of water for Jiang Hui and placed it on his right hand side.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you asked Zhu Lin to help write "Desire"?"

"Now readers and team leaders are asking me questions, but I still don't know the situation."

Ge Suhong didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I just haven't found the right opportunity yet."

Jiang Hui was not surprised that Ge Suhong was able to guess that "Desire" was ghostwritten by Zhu Lin.

Of course, he didn't know yet that Ge Suhong had tricked Zhu Lin into revealing the truth with just one sentence.

"If this happened to an ordinary person, it would be a big taboo and your reputation would be ruined in all magazines."

"This time, Zhu Lin's writing is good enough. The general response from readers is that the later chapters are better and more delicate than the earlier ones."

After Ge Suhong said this, Zhu Lin felt a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, Ge Suhong praised her so much, and on the other hand, she realized belatedly that she had ghostwritten "Desire". It seemed that she had just admitted it on her own initiative, and Jiang Hui had not told Ge Suhong about it.

In other words, he had just been cheated and confessed everything.

"I can't help it. I'm really too busy. I won't have that much time and energy to write novels in the future."

“But it would be a shame if I didn’t share some good ideas with everyone.”

"I plan to let Zhu Lin write a novel on his own under a new pen name after Desire is finished. What do you think?"

"People's Literature" is considered to be the top-notch among all magazines, and it would be best if we could continue to cooperate with them.

Obviously, Jiang Hui is now asking Ge Suhong whether they still want to cooperate in depth with Zhu Lin in the future.

"I have seen Zhu Lin's writing skills."

"If you were here to help develop my ideas, I would definitely be able to write a new classic."

"We at People's Literature are very willing to be the publication platform for your new works."

Ge Suhong would definitely not reject Zhu Lin's manuscript.

Even if I want to refuse, I have to wait until I review your new works in the future.

If the quality of the work is very poor, even if she made any verbal promises today, it can be easily overturned.

It's nothing more than finding a few excuses.

Any promise made by anyone may be overturned.

If someone doesn't overturn something, it's often not necessarily because they are such good people, but rather that the matter is not worth overturning.

"I see that a number of new magazines have been established recently. I think the Chinese literary circle will become more and more lively in the next few years."

"Whether we can improve our lives depends on your support."

The main direction of cooperation was finalized during the conversation, and Jiang Hui naturally had to give some praise to Ge Suhong.

After all, they came here today with some intention of calling you to task.

In the end, not a single unpleasant word was said, but instead some promises for the future were made.

It can be said that Ge Suhong gave Jiang Hui a lot of face.

Of course, this is also because the level of "Desire" is high enough and its appeal and influence on "People's Literature" is great enough, otherwise the situation would not be like this.

If an author is not famous enough, he will have to admit defeat on a big platform.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"You are the only author I have who is worthy of my support. Whether the prize money will be large or not depends on whether you and your wife will give us your full support."

Ge Suhong exchanged pleasantries with the couple for a while, and finally left with satisfaction, holding the latest manuscript written by Zhu Lin.

As long as the quality is getting better, what does it matter if it’s ghostwriting?
What's wrong with a couple helping each other?
If other authors are capable, they can also ask their wives to write for them.

After sending Ge Suhong to the gate and watching her slowly disappear around the corner of the street, Jiang Hui and Zhu Lin turned back.

The ghostwriting of "Desire" has officially come to an end.

And there are plans to let Zhu Lin write novels independently in the future.

Once you have written your work, just submit it directly to Ge Suhong.

It is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.
