This is an interesting woman. She is not highly educated and doesn’t like to study, but she is very smart. Old Valentino never mentioned divorce, so he probably loves her very much. But for a bad man, loving you is one thing. Looking for a mistress
It is also unambiguous, known as "separation of body and mind."
Vanessa also followed the same example and took care of the little wolfdog without hesitation.
She is not in the United States, and the American media has let her go. There is basically no news about her. She is very happy.
Zhang Wenya admires her very much. Women, if you want to be kind to yourself, don't get divorced. There is nothing wrong with spending the man's money to get better enjoyment. The media is vague, but it seems that the prenuptial agreement was signed for Fan.
Nisha is more advantageous. The smelly old man will suffer a lot if he gets divorced, so he won't get divorced.
Vanessa is also self-aware, she has no abilities and cannot support herself, and a vicious vampire man is not bad either.
Charlie was a bit insensitive to Vanessa's dramatic and exaggerated style, but he did not criticize his mother. He would even joke with his mother, saying that if the little wolf dog didn't behave, he would get rid of it quickly.
The newsworthy thing has always been little Kenneth, not Zhang Wenya. She went shopping and eating with Vanessa, had a date with Charlie for dinner, and went to watch a musical on Broadway, but there were no paparazzi to photograph her at all.
A week before Harvard started school, Zhang Wenya finally finished writing a report on abortion rights.
It is a report rather than an article. It objectively compares the current status of abortion rights in China and the United States. However, it is relatively shallow because there is not much information on Greater China.
After reading the article, Mr. Bate said: "The writing is very good, but it is still not comprehensive. I mean, there is a lack of data on China. I think there is no problem in other aspects, it is very good."
"Can it be published?" Zhang Wenya was excited.
"You can choose part of it."
marvelous!
"Where's the signature?"
"Full signature rights." Mr. Bate smiled helplessly, "Don't be too happy, you are not an American. It may be better or worse, no one can say. Are you afraid of being scolded?"
Hey! This is a question! No matter how ugly the insult is, can it be worse than Ji Qingqing?
She shook her head, "I'm not afraid. If you want to speak to the public, you must bear the objections, even if the objections are ridiculous. If you back down, it will be a victory for the other party."
Mr. Bate was surprised by her answer, "You are absolutely right! As media people, we should speak out for the people instead of being timid."
Mr. Bate revised the article for her and published it in a newspaper issue next month as one of a series of reports on "women's rights." Greater China's family planning system that ignores women's right to choose has instead created a group of people who have received higher education.
Being an only child was something that the people who made the system did not expect.
She has a special perspective. After the article was published, it caused a lot of discussion. Many readers wrote to the newspaper. Some female readers said that her article was very interesting and made them pay attention to the plight of women in countries across the ocean. Women in the world
We should pay attention to the most basic rights of women regardless of race or nationality.
In addition, a very small number of extreme readers cursed her as an "atheist who deserves to go to hell." Sigh! This is a completely false proposition! Since everyone is atheist, how can there be hell?
On the fourth Monday of January, Harvard’s spring semester begins.
Back on campus, the weather is refreshing.
Seeing Susan, the two of them busily exchanged their thoughts on the internship.
Susan’s thoughts are: The magazine club is so interesting! But it is also very tiring!
She didn't go to any fashion magazine, but to a literary magazine. How should I say? It was actually a mainstream literary magazine, "American Literature", which mainly published poetry and short and medium stories. Long stories needed to be serialized.
There are a lot of young literary and artistic people in the United States. Her job as an intern is to check the submissions in the e-mail box and classify them. Most of them are directly treated as "junk", some are "to be determined", and very few are "
Forwarded to an editor".
A topic selection meeting is held in the first week of every month, usually on Wednesday; a progress meeting is held every week, usually on Friday; the content of the magazine needs to be prepared three issues in advance, which means it is still January, but the manuscript has been scheduled
It's April.
The topic selection will determine what articles will be included in the current issue of the magazine. The editor will give comments, and then the number of words. The number of words will determine the page number; first decide whether to be a medium or long article, and then fill the middle page numbers with short stories, poetry, and prose, and that's pretty much it.
Then there are advertisements. Each issue has a fixed number of advertising pages, and the selection of advertising content is also very important.
Literary magazines also have an important section, which is the monthly book reviews of new books. For book publishers and authors, book reviews in magazines and newspapers are very important, almost equal to advertising. After all, thousands of book reviews are published a year, and there are no book reviews for advertising.
It’s difficult, especially for newcomers. Famous writers are already well-known and relatively less dependent on them.
The magazine has its own group of book reviewers. The more cunning the book reviewers are, the more popular they are - but not mean, because being mean is not very interesting. Book reviewers who are both cunning and humorous are very popular.
Susan kept encouraging her, "You should become a book reviewer. You must know that a well-known book reviewer can sell tens of thousands more books with a complimentary review! This is supported by data!"
"I don't believe it. Are you so strong?"
Susan nodded vigorously, "Have you heard of it? As long as you have more than ten famous book reviewers and brag about it in different magazines and newspapers, your book will immediately be on the best-seller list!"
"Then you also want your book to be really good, right?"
"Oh, of course. But I have confidence in you." Susan said with a smile: "When will your book be published? I have booked two book review writers for you, and they both told me that if you can keep New York
Times column level, then they are willing to write a good book review for you.”
Okay, you are an expert at pretending to be a public servant!
Zhang Wenya was so happy, "You are such a clever little kid!"
The New York Times also has a book review column, and she had already taken advantage of this internship opportunity to establish a relationship with the column editor and obtained the contact information of the book review writers.
This kind of thing is common, usually you need to get to know each other first, treat guests to dinner, or hold literary gatherings. What makes her better than others is that she became a columnist for the New York Times by being featured on the cover of Time magazine.
, so that the other party will more or less have heard of her name, and she doesn’t have to flatter her.
As we all know, flattery usually does not end well, especially for cultural people who think highly of themselves. This is especially true in the theater criticism circle. Broadway stars are afraid of negative reviews from theater critics. No matter how awesome you were before, this new movie will
Even if the drama is not favored by drama critics, it will still give you a bloody show.
Her columns are still very popular, but unpopular columns will be removed quickly. This is the reality of print media. With such a foundation, it should not be a problem to find a few book reviewers willing to write positive book reviews for her.
She writes e-mails to these book reviewers, first politely compliments them, and then asks if they are interested in reading her new book. She is about to publish her first English book in the United States. If you are interested, the publisher will mail him a copy after it is released.
Book.
Almost all book review writers responded to the email, saying that it is possible.
If you really become an American best-selling author, you will be full of character! Hehe!
Boston is an early British colony with a long history and mostly English architectural styles, especially the old buildings.
The Kenneth family's nineteenth-century Boston residence is now a high-rise building. It is said that the Kenneth family and the Fitzgerald family own a lot of Boston real estate.
The current ancestral home of the Kenneth family is in Hyannis, across a small strait from Martha's Vineyard. You can take a bus from Boston to Hyannis, which takes less than an hour.
Susan heard that Zhang Wenya had never been to Hyannis—actually he had been once, to meet Grandma Rose—and without further ado, she decided to take her on a sightseeing trip this recent weekend.
The Fosters are also Democrats, but they are not fans of the Kenneth family.
"Have you seen John recently?"
Zhang Wenya drove a Tiffany blue car, and Susan used a human map to navigate.
"No, he is very busy. He has been busy with court proceedings in Pennsylvania recently."
"Oh, yes, I read the report. What? Is he an attorney?"
"It seems so."
"You won't be so busy that you won't be able to come back all weekend, right?"
"I don't care if he comes back or not. Whether he comes back or not doesn't affect me and I can do whatever I have to do."
Susan hurriedly said: "That's right. Who cares!"
"I heard Hyannis is a small town."
"It's very small, it's a port. Because of President Kenneth, there are a lot of tourists there."
"Really? But what are you going to do? Just go and see the house?"
"I guess so."
"You haven't been there either, right?"
Susan chuckled, "No."
The Kenneth family residence is four houses side by side, the house of Joseph Sr. and Rose's grandmother, where the nine Kenneth brothers and sisters grew up. The girls got married and left respectively, but they were not too far away and came back every year.
Several times, family gatherings were attended by large numbers of people;
Next door to the ancestral home is the residence of President Kenneth. He and Jackie lived here for several months after they got engaged, and then came back every year to stay for about a month;
Next door on the other side is Uncle Bob's house, and beyond that is the house of current Massachusetts Senator Ted Kenneth.
Hyannis also has President Kenneth's personal museum, which is not far from his ancestral home because the town is really small.
It is an American tradition for outgoing presidents to have their own personal museum in their hometown.
Arriving in Hyannis half an hour later, Zhang Wenya and Susan first visited the Presidential Museum.
The museum displays many personal and family belongings, documents, and photos of Kenneth. John Kenneth, who was in his twenties, was youthful and energetic, with a high-spirited face and looked much more handsome than when he was in his forties.
Although young Jackie is not a great beauty, she is a good match for Senator Kenneth.
Susan then smiled and mentioned the letter of recommendation that President Kenneth used to apply for Harvard University. The letter was very short, only a few sentences, and not well written. Since he became president, he has to show it to the media every few years.
I made fun of him, saying that it was great to have a father who graduated from Harvard, and that he could get into Harvard even if he wrote so well.
There are also handwritten letters from President Kenneth and gifts from some national dignitaries.
He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, shortly after he was elected to the U.S. Senate.
Chapter completed!
