Arthur Ness walked into the newsroom of the First University newspaper with a buckskin paper bag.
He was wearing Alpha's white robe, with a silver watch chain hanging on his chest, his hair was neatly styled, his expression was indifferent, his attitude was distant, and he seemed to be in two different worlds from the lively atmosphere in the editing room.
Fatty Xin noticed him at a glance.
Not only was Arthur Ness's temperament inconsistent with the editorial department, but more importantly, Arthur Ness had direct conflicts with Zheng Qing twice, and during the second conflict, Fatty Xin was present.
If Fox Five Hank hadn't called out that voice, Fatty doubted that he would have exploded on the spot, raised his fist and smashed the pretty boy into a little cake.
Therefore, Fatty Xin was very impressed by Arthur Ness.
"What do you want?" A red-robed clerk in the newsroom quickly noticed the uninvited guest.
"I'll hand in the manuscript." Arthur Ness looked calm.
"Submit the manuscript?" The clerk was obviously a little confused. He looked back at the busy people behind him and paused for a moment before replying: "Okay... then leave the manuscript to me."
Normally, very few authors come to the editorial office to submit manuscripts in person. Especially for school newspapers. Most manuscripts are collected by monitors or club leaders at class meetings, then submitted to the editorial office, and then the best ones are selected for publication.
Many students at First University don't even know where the editorial office of the school newspaper is.
Looking at the outstretched hand of the red-robed officer, Arthur Ness did not hand over the deerskin paper bag in his hand. Instead, he looked around and looked at it carefully. After a long while, he said: "Who is your person in charge?"
The red-robed officer suddenly looked a little confused.
Fatty Xin lowered his head and almost laughed out loud. Although the atmosphere in the school between Alpha and Jiuyou was a bit tense, in an organization like the editorial department of the school newspaper, which is mixed with four-color academic robes, harmony and stability are still very important.
.
In particular, the school newspaper's mainstream reporting has always been muddled. On topics involving internal conflicts within the college, it resolutely remains neutral and impartial, and strives to discuss the matter as it is, lest its own editorial office is attacked by those irritable students before it is attacked by its own editor.
The department was smashed to pieces by the furious reporters and editors.
I know Fatty Xin, the red-robed wizard who spoke to me, and he is also a first-year student. He usually calls himself "just" and likes to criticize Jiuyou Academy before commenting on Alpha. When he is kind to Alpha, compare it with
Jiuyou has a lot of students. Fatty Xin thought about it in private, always suspecting that this colleague was a student of Alpha College in his previous life.
Seeing him being ignored by Arthur Ness at this moment always gave me an indescribable sense of relief.
Another man in white robe in the editing room immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice slightly: "Arthur? What are you doing here?"
They seemed to know each other.
Seeing that nothing happened to him, the red-robed officer walked away angrily.
"I'll submit the manuscript." Regarding the same white robe, Arthur Ness's expression finally seemed a little kinder: "It's a manuscript that Mr. Serprano has reviewed...ask me to help deliver it."
Bai Gong's originally somewhat contemptuous expression immediately became serious.
"Sir... Sir?" He took the deerskin paper bag in surprise, looked at Arthur Ness, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Does Sir know about this?"
This is exactly the ultimate purpose of Arthur Ness coming to the editorial office this time.
He needs to let others know that he is still Sir Friedman's man. This manuscript has nothing to do with "party disputes" and is the "great cause" of the academy.
"I know." Arthur Ness first confirmed the other party's question, and then added: "Your Excellency Serprano is the vice president of the Alpha College Student Union and has the right to arrange for any student to do what they need to do."
This answer is quite satisfactory.
Baipaozi understood and weighed the paper bag in his hand: "What aspect is the manuscript about? Can it be revised? When will it be published in the newspaper?"
"The manuscript mainly analyzes some recent cases inside and outside the school to support some knowledgeable people in Jiuyou College. As editors, of course you have the right to make appropriate modifications to the manuscript. But we hope that the purpose of the manuscript will not change. As for the publication time...
Arthur glanced at the paper bag and said succinctly: "The sooner the better."
The white robe showed a hint of toothache.
What Arthur Ness said sounded like trouble.
…
…
Zheng Qing followed a golden horned wasp and carefully spied on it.
This was the thirteenth bee he was following. After the previous twelve bees flew for a long time, they all found a flower and dropped it to collect honey. They didn't look like they would get lost.
Hoping that this bee could bring him a little surprise, the wizard sighed secretly in his heart. He originally thought that this job was simple, but he didn't expect it to be so tedious. He ran back and forth countless times between the fields, but he still couldn't find it.
Not where those missing bees went.
The noteboard in his arms was still blank. Zheng Qing felt that when others saw him, he always felt like he was cheating. But with all his conscience, he really followed from beginning to end and was not lazy at all.
He raised his head and glanced at the few classmates squatting in the distance cleaning the smelly thorns. The boy was a little envious. He also hoped that he was not empty-handed and looked like he had done something.
While he was thinking wildly, the golden horned bee flying not far in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Zheng Qing was stunned for a few seconds, wiped his eyes, and then looked down at a wooden talisman on the noteboard. The red dot on the talisman used to mark the location of the bees had disappeared without a trace.
"Gone?!" the boy yelled, his voice full of disbelief: "He just disappeared!"
The 'temporary school workers' working nearby straightened up and looked at him curiously.
While talking, Zheng Qing walked a few steps and rushed to the place where the horned bee disappeared. It was a rolling mist several meters in radius. He followed the place where the bee disappeared and scratched a few times, but did not catch the bee.
I caught a small green-yellow flower.
Soon, Professor Li rushed to the scene of the incident.
"This is a field of Penglai bananas, planted in a mist that simulates summer. Now is not the season for their budding and flowering, and the fog is not thick; the lightning reed on one side and the platycodon on the other side are not either.
Flower season.”
"The horned bee has a docile temperament, hates cold weather, avoids light, and likes water, so it's not surprising that it flies into this fog."
"The strange thing is that I found such a flower in the place where the golden horned bee disappeared." Zheng Qing followed Professor Li step by step. While introducing his discovery to him, he honestly handed over the green and yellow flower.
Alternate little flowers.
It is said to be a small flower, but it is about the size of a cat's paw. The petals are heavy and wrap around the stamens. It is obviously a flower that has not yet opened.
Professor Li glanced at the flower a few times and suddenly changed color.
