Chapter 312 Crazy Capital

Madam Song is a Chinese named Song Huaigui, a Chinese manager that Pi Lao relied on. Her husband is Wan Man, a Bulgarian meritorious artist and world-renowned wall hanging artist. They are the first foreign-related marriage in China.

The reason why the misunderstanding between Lin Weimin and Xiao Heiyangzi on the campus of Yenching University had such a big impact was because of the trouble the couple had caused in the 1950s. At that time, Song Huaigui was in love with Wan Man, who was studying in China. It alarmed the top leaders for a time, and finally it was Mr. Zhou who approved the couple's marriage.

When Song Huaigui heard Lin Weimin's name, he immediately became enthusiastic.

After chatting for a while, Song Huaigui asked to have a meal together. Lin Weimin smiled and said with a little distance, "No need, we can just sit here."

Song Huaigui was not at all displeased by the direct rejection. She said hello to Liu Xiaoqing and went to another place.

Continuing with her meal, Tao Huimin listened with great interest to the man at the next table explaining everything about Maxim's. It seemed that every tree and blade of grass in this restaurant had a story to tell.

After hearing the end, even Lin Weimin admired this guy a little. It would be a waste of your talent if you didn’t become a writer!

After finishing the meal, Lin Weimin wiped his mouth, listened to the piano music quietly with Tao Huimin for a while, then got up to pay the bill and leave.

Unexpectedly, Song Huaigui appeared again. "It is a great honor for us to have Teacher Lin come to our restaurant. How about taking a photo together and leaving an autograph?"

Lin Weimin glanced at Song Huaigui and said, "No need, we are here just to eat."

To be honest, the food and environment of Maxim's are really good, that's the atmosphere.

It's a bit inappropriate to say that he is worshipping foreigners, after all, his boss is a foreigner, but it's true that he has a sense of arrogance in his bones, which makes people hard to like him.

In this era when the country had just opened its doors, Chinese people have always been very tolerant of the secret operations of foreigners and do not think there is anything wrong with it.

Manager Song’s actions are even more confusing.

It's true that I'm a celebrity, but since I've paid to eat here, do I have an obligation to take photos with you, get autographs, and promote your restaurant?

After all, she thinks she is superior to others and believes that everyone has to cooperate with her.

After being rejected mercilessly twice in a row, even Song Huaigui, with his high emotional intelligence, felt a little embarrassed.

She wanted to say a few polite words to ease the atmosphere, but Lin Weimin left her there. He called the waiter to settle the bill, and then Lin Weimin went to say hello to Liu Xiaoqing.

"Let's go." Lin Weimin said to Tao Huimin after coming back.

Tao Huimin stood up and observed secretly. Song Huaigui, who was left there, had a hint of anger on his face, but he still managed to restrain himself.

After the two of them left, she tried to calm down and returned to Liu Xiaoqing's table.

Liu Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Did you bump into each other's noses?"

"Isn't this Teacher Lin too arrogant?" Song Huaigui finally couldn't control his emotions in front of his acquaintance.

"What's the big deal? You don't even know how crazy this guy was when he was on the Spring Festival Gala crew."

Song Huaigui was intrigued by Liu Xiaoqing's words. He didn't care about being angry and asked, "How crazy is it?"

Liu Xiaoqing showed a gossipy expression that only women have, "Don't we have a program review team when we perform on the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Review team?"

"Yes, the review team will review every program. If there is even a little problem, the program will be terminated, no matter how much you ask."

"Doesn't that mean you have the power of life and death?"

"Yes, even the director's words are not as powerful as theirs." Liu Xiaoqing sighed.

"Then what?" Song Huaigui asked.

Liu Xiaoqing continued: "At that time, he produced two skits for the Spring Festival Gala program team, one of which mentioned the issue of 'triangular debt'..."

"I know that one, 'Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren'." Song Huaigui said.

"Yes, it was Yang Bailao and Huang Shiren. The review team watched the show and said it was not acceptable. Do you know what this person said at the time?"

When Liu Xiaoqing said this, the words "ask quickly" were almost written on her face.

Song Huaigui was tickled by her and asked cooperatively, "What did he say?"

Liu Xiaoqing suddenly became serious and pretended to learn.

"Dear leaders, I just want to ask, does the problem of triangular debt exist? Can we discuss the problem in the program of our party, or do we just need to sing praises?"

After learning these words, Liu Xiaoqing's expression relaxed. "Do you know that the people in the review team are all the heads of various ministries?"

Song Huaigui imagined the scene at that time, and the picture in his mind overlapped with the scene that had just happened.

Finally, we came to a conclusion that, judging from Teacher Lin's temper, he seemed to have been very restrained just now.

"This guy is too arrogant!" She squeezed out a sentence dryly.

Liu Xiaoqing said quietly, "He has the capital to be arrogant! You know that his novels are published in the United States and Japan, right?"

Song Huaigui nodded, "I know. Didn't they say that the royalties are worth a million dollars?"

"In fact, it's not just the United States and Taiwan, but also Hong Kong. I was promoting "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" in Hong Kong before. His novel was serialized in the Sing Tao Evening News, which is one of the major newspapers in Hong Kong."

Song Huaigui exclaimed: "That's pretty impressive!"

"Do you think this is the end?" Liu Xiaoqing kept the suspense again.

Song Huaigui said angrily, "Can you finish what you want to say in one breath?"

Liu Xiaoqing then continued to ask with a smile: "Do you know Arthur Miller?"

"Arthur Miller? The Death of a Salesman performed by the People's Art Theatre last year was his work, right? An American playwright?"

"That's right! He is one of the most famous playwrights in the United States. He was the one who received him when he came to Yanjing last year. When he was leaving, he took his play The Intouchables away, saying that he was going to perform it on Broadway in the United States."

Song Huaigui's face was full of surprise, "Going to the United States to perform?"

Nowadays, if domestic products can be sold in the United States, it is considered a glory for the country.

Song Huaigui prides himself on being well-informed, but he is still extremely surprised that local dramas can be published in the United States. This surprise is even greater than when he first heard that Lin Weimin's novels were published in the United States. After all, dramas are much smaller than novels.

"Did the show take place?"

Liu Xiaoqing shook her head. "It is said that it was performed, but we don't know the news from the United States."

Hearing this answer, Song Huaigui felt a little regretful, as if he had not heard the end of the story.

At this time Liu Xiaoqing said: "You know his teacher is Mr. Wan, right?"

"I know, his master is from a famous family!" Song Huaigui's tone was a bit sarcastic.

"There is such a teacher who has done well and has written so many good works. At a young age, he has become the deputy editor-in-chief of a magazine of the same level as Contemporary. So tell me, does he have the capital to be so arrogant?"

Liu Xiaoqing asked Song Huaigui.

Everyone has a tendency to admire the strong. When Song Huaigui claimed to be the manager of Maxim's Western Restaurant and the right-hand man of clothing tycoon Pierre Cardin, she looked down on Lin Weimin and naturally there was no respect for him.

But when she listened carefully to Liu Xiaoqing's narration and analysis, she suddenly realized that Lin Weimin's influence in this country was far beyond her imagination.

What’s even scarier is that he’s only in his twenties, but his influence has already begun to transcend nationality restrictions. If he is given a few more decades…

Song Huaigui had to admit that the other person did have the capital to be so arrogant.

At the same time, she also felt a little regretful for her reckless behavior just now.

I should have been more cautious earlier. If I could make friends with such a person, it would definitely help my future development in the country.

What a pity.

Song Huaigui's heart was full of regrets.

After coming out of Maxim's, Tao Huimin asked Lin Weimin, "I see that you seem to dislike that Manager Song?"

"It's not just her that he dislikes, Maxim doesn't like her either."

"Why?" Tao Huimin, a native of the city, found it difficult to understand the feelings of Lin Weimin's soul in the later generations.

"I come to earn your money and act like a boss!"

After hearing what he said, Tao Huimin thought back to when she was having dinner in the restaurant just now, and it seemed that she really had this feeling.

"Then we won't go there anymore!"

The girlfriend said.

Lin Weimin couldn't help but laugh and kissed her on the face.

"What a determined little girl!"

Tao Huimin wiped her cheeks and looked around. Fortunately, it was night. Then she rolled her eyes at him coquettishly and said, "Hateful!"

This one glance is full of charm.

Teacher Lin's heart was beating fast. He couldn't wait to get on his bike and speed up.

The evening breeze of Yanjing City blew on people's faces. The air was damp after the rain, warm, soft and moist, just like the love of a lover embracing him.

The airflow generated by the friction between the speeding motorcycle and the air wraps around the body, making people unable to help but sink into it.

The wind is too strong!
