After ten seconds of trance, Han Jimei finally recovered.

She never expected the ending to be like this...

The wife sold her beautiful long hair and bought a gold watch strap for her husband. The husband sold his favorite gold watch and bought the hair comb the other party had longed for.

They sacrificed the most precious family property for each other, but the gifts they gave each other lost their original value at the same time.

Such an ending is too cruel, but it is always dumbfounding—

And in such a humorous contradiction, the love between husband and wife is vented on the paper, showing it vividly!

It's a longing love.

Han Jimei closed the magazine thoughtfully.

She suddenly thought:

Such a good story should have appeared in the tribe's literary section, just like Chu Kuang's "Artificial Beauty".

"Why did you miss Chu Kuang in the end?"

Obviously he just started choosing our platform.

Han Jimei's eyes flashed, and he pressed the green button in the upper left corner of the desk: "The editor-in-chief plenary meeting in five minutes."

Why has the tribe's literary section been tepid?

Because the quality of the stories in the literature section is not as good as the magazines on the market.

In the final analysis, the reason for thinking is that the tribal literature section is not attractive enough for good writers!

How can I change this situation?

Very simple, that is to grab the story, grab the author!

Outstanding authors like Chu Kuang are worthy of tribal literature. Han Jimei believes that she can eventually impress outstanding writers like Chu Kuang.

With this idea in mind, Han Jimei started the editor-in-chief meeting.

The first question she asked at the meeting was: "Why is tribal literature not the first choice of writing platform for writers?"

This is actually the most important question.

The editor-in-chief on the right hand side smiled: "Apart from the fact that the literary section is relatively special as an online publishing platform, the most important reason is that we did not pay the authors enough compensation."

The writer also wants to have a meal.

Relying on the rewards of the online platform is not enough.

Han Jimei got up, pressed her hands on the desk, her body slightly bowed: "I will apply for funding from above, do you know what to do?"

"Hogging!"

The editors understand.

Han Jimei smiled slightly: "I'm going to see the list of targets you want to dig tonight. The first batch of writers must be at least 30. Let's play a big one."

"It seems we are going to grab people from major magazines."

The editor-in-chief smiled. They are not short of writers. If they have enough funds, it is not difficult to find outstanding writers.

"well."

Han Jimei straightened up: "It seems that you all have goals to dig. I will first recommend a person to your digging list."

"Who?"

"Chu Kuang."

The editors were stunned, thinking that Han Jimei had made a mistake: "This should not be regarded as a famous short story writer. He writes youth fantasy novels. The last time "Artificial Beauty" was just a short story he occasionally created. Although not bad..."

"Then look at this."

Han Jimei put "Interesting Reading" on the table, and then glanced at everyone: "Who you want to find is up to you, but Chu Kuang is the first goal I want to strive for."

...

As the first article on the cover of the magazine, "The Gift of the Magi" was not only noticed by Han Jimei, but many magazine buyers also read this story one after another.

Nearly a week later, a thorough discussion began on the Internet.

The first platform for hot discussion is the official website message board of the magazine section of Yinlan Library.

The function of this message board is similar to a novel forum.

"The quality of this issue of the magazine is very high, especially "The Maggie's Gift". I really like it very much and it is very touching."

"It's worthy of being a key recommendation on the cover, and it didn't disappoint!"

"It's been a long time since I saw such a good story. "The Maggie's Gift" is excellent."

"I was fortunate enough to read "Artificial Beauty" in the tribe during the New Year. I remembered a writer named Chu Kuang. I didn't expect to read his new work so quickly. It was as exciting as ever, and even selfishly thought it was more exciting than the last one. "

"Such a good short story turned out to be written by Chu Kuang..."

"After checking Xia Chu Kuang's information, I realized that this is a novelist who writes about youth fantasy. It's too rare."

"As a reader who loves youth fantasy but also loves short stories, seeing Chu Kuang's works in two fields at the same time, the experience is really amazing. I have become his fan."

"..."

Soon this wave of discussion began to spread, and "The Maggie's Gift" was not unexpectedly widely welcomed.

The direct consequence of this is that the sales volume in the first week of the latest issue of "Fun Reading" is 50% higher than the previous issue!

Perhaps the follow-up sales of "Fun Reading" this month are also worth looking forward to.

The pen name of Chu Kuang is the first time that it has entered the eyes of short story lovers.

Even some writers in the field of short stories secretly remembered the pen name Chu Kuang by borrowing "The Gift of the Magi".

Chu Kuang at this time, in the circle of short stories, can be regarded as first famous.

Some people say that Chu Kuang has written "Artificial Beauty" before?

It was true, but at that time, Chu Kuang was still labeled as a youth fantasy writer. The title of "Net King" covered the excellence of the short story to a certain extent.

This will happen when a certain identity is more dazzling.

So it was not until Chu Kuang made a short story for the second time that everyone really realized:

It turns out that Chu Kuang still has such talents.

However, it is undeniable that Chu Kuang is a newcomer in both the short story field and the youth fantasy field.

He still has a long way to go.

However, the number of people who keep looking forward to this is gradually expanding.

Someone might say, "The Maggie's Gift" is not a very famous short story on the earth, and the readers are just as shocked and finished?

This taken for granted view is also understandable.

However, artistic creation in reality is actually very difficult to achieve in one step.

Countless classics that have been regarded as masterpieces by later generations can only arouse temporary discussions when they were just released. When everyone hears that XX’s work is a world-class masterpiece, first think about how long it has been since this work was officially released— —

There are too few conferring gods today.

Unless they had a high influence at the time.

More often, time is brewing classic masterpieces.

When these classic masterpieces were first released, the creators actually only had the potential to conjure gods, and before they were truly consecrated to gods, they might still be short of Nobel recognition, or many classics of the same level.

Or... just one death.
