The magazine released the first five chapters of the entire story in one go.

Of the first four chapters, the first introduces the plight of Charlie's family.

Chapters 2 and 4 introduce Willy Wonka, the candy wizard, and his mysterious chocolate factory through conversations between Charlie and the four elderly people in his family.

At the beginning of Chapter 5, Charlie's father came back from the toothpaste factory with good news.

Mr. Willy Wonka revealed in the newspaper that he would show the secrets of the chocolate factory to the outside world, but only to five children.

After the visit, the children will receive a special gift: they can enjoy chocolate for life.

The method of selecting these five lucky winners is also very simple.

Next time the factory produces chocolate, there will be a golden ticket underneath the wrapper.

Whoever gets this voucher is eligible.

Everyone in Charlie's family was discussing this matter, and only Charlie was depressed.

Because he can only get a piece of chocolate on his birthday, there is definitely no chance.

But Grandpa Joe told him that Charlie's birthday was in a week and he also had a chance.

The story ends abruptly.

Obviously, this is just the beginning.

As a fairy tale classic, the story of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is undoubtedly outstanding.

The author's writing style, character design, plot structure, and highly immersive writing style all have a fatal appeal to children.

The magazine also created beautiful illustrations for the main characters and the main scene, the chocolate factory, to serve as background for the text.

All this effort was not in vain.

The quality of the article itself, coupled with the early preparation, has received an excellent response.

One week after the magazine was published, on May 18th, the editorial department held a summary meeting.

"As of yesterday, online subscriptions to the magazine had increased by 0.9 percentage points compared to last month, and according to survey results, this figure is expected to increase further next month."

"The main reason is the content upgrade. Most of them want to read the sequel to the new series 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. Some of them also have a more strange reason, saying they want to support Xiaolu."

When Xiao Yin from the marketing department said this, there was a puzzled expression on his face.

"Maybe it's a mistake. It's Lu, right? Our young writer is not very old."

Lao Qian said happily, and everyone else nodded in agreement.

Only Yang Xiuxiu understood the truth, but she would not discuss such matters with these people.

"Then there's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Young readers have a very high recognition for this story. During this period, the customer service department has received many online inquiries about the follow-up."

"good."

In the conference room, except for Chu Hongmei who still looked a little awkward, everyone else felt relaxed.

The publishing house promotes the Rising Star Program through collaboration across all departments, with the editorial department being the most important link.

Because they are responsible for the most important content review.

Without a good story, the entire plan is meaningless, so the entire editorial department is under great pressure from top to bottom, not to mention that they had failed once before.

The current success becomes extremely precious.

"Everyone has worked hard during this period, especially Comrade Xiao Yang. He has made great contributions and unearthed such a gem for us. He should be commended."

Yang Xiuxiu is very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

"It was mainly due to Editor Qian's recommendation and the decision-making of Editor-in-Chief Wang and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Cai. I just did what I was supposed to do."

"Comrade Yang Xiuxiu, no one can take away the credit that belongs to you, so don't be so modest."

Deputy Editor-in-Chief Cai joked.

"Yes, meritorious service should be rewarded, and faults should be punished. Old Qian has his merits, and you are also truly responsible for bringing this young writer to our magazine."

Wang Weimin came to a conclusion.

Yang Xiuxiu didn't say much.

Excessive humility is pride.

"But we can't relax. I think everyone has read the book 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. The market response shows that it has huge potential. We must continue to promote this book."

"Xiao Yang, ask Lu Qingfeng if he has time to take advantage of this momentum and go on another show."

"Um, I'm afraid not. He went to Beijing."

"Peking University Literature Cup?"

Lao Qian stopped spinning the pen in his hand and looked up and asked.

"Correct."

……

Lu Qingfeng was currently on the high-speed train heading to the capital, naturally to participate in the Peking University Literature Cup.

He traveled light, bringing only a few changes of clothes and some necessary items, so he was the first to get on the high-speed train after it stopped.

“8a, 8a, this is it.”

His seat was by the window, so he put down his bag and sat down.

After a while, an aunt who was almost sixty years old came over with a train ticket and luggage.

After searching around, I stopped next to him, put down the bag on my back, and then sorted out the trolley case and put it on the luggage rack.

Seeing that she was not tall enough and had difficulty lifting the object, Lu Qingfeng quickly stood up and went over to help her.

"Thank you, young man."

Aunt thanked me repeatedly.

Lu Qingfeng smiled and sat back down.

My aunt sat down next to him and asked enthusiastically.

"Where are you going, young man?"

"capital."

"Then I'll get off with you. You seem young and still in school, right? Why are you going to the capital?"

"I'm going to take a composition exam at Peking University."

Lu Qingfeng replied.

"Oh, that's amazing."

My aunt certainly doesn’t know what the so-called essay test is, but the two words “Peking University” carry a lot of weight in the hearts of Chinese people.

Getting into Tsinghua University or Peking University is a phrase that many parents often say.

As we were talking, a young couple sat down at this seat.

The couple was sitting right across from him. The girl with long hair glanced at him and then spoke to her boyfriend as if nothing had happened.

After saying a few words, he glanced over as if nothing had happened.

My aunt burst out laughing.

The young man opposite pulled his girlfriend in dissatisfaction, and the girl's ears turned red.

Lu Qingfeng smiled politely.

At this time, another couple got on the bus.

The couple's seats were separated by an aisle, so the husband wanted to switch seats with his aunt.

Lu Qingfeng took the initiative to switch with the other party and get out of this embarrassing situation.

After sitting down again, he thought about it and found it quite interesting.

There is actually nothing to be embarrassed about. It is human nature to pursue beautiful things.

A simple incident that did not affect him.

It takes about five and a half hours to get from Sucheng to Yanjing, and Lu Qingfeng did not waste such a long time.

Take out "Rain" and read it.

This is the second part of Mr. Ba Jin's love trilogy

The trilogy "Fog", "Rain" and "Lightning" is ostensibly about marriage and love in the old society.

In fact, the main theme is still to explore the path of young people pursuing their ideals and beliefs.

He finished watching the first part, "The Fog", some time ago, and has just started watching this one, "The Rain".

Two years have passed in the timeline, and the protagonist has changed from Zhou Rushui in the previous work to Zhou Rushui's friend Wu Renmin.

Lu Qingfeng rarely had the patience to read these literary masterpieces before.

Life was too hard before, so I just wanted to take it easy. How could I read these works full of bitterness and hatred?

When he comes here, he forces himself to read these books in order to write.

As I read on, I found some fun.

Now, I do it for the purpose of learning.

In a word, the persona he created for himself was real.
