Chapter 469: Former Father-in-Law is also Father-in-Law

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Cheng Xuyuan still came to the seat reserved for him at the main table.

Although this position was not at the main seat in the middle, it was quite close to it. He was right below Shen Yunliang.

Just as Cheng Xuyuan sat down with a smile, he heard the old man sitting in the middle say with a smile: "Xuyuan, you can't just communicate with young people, you have to talk more with us old guys."

"Maybe we have something in common."

Cheng Xuyuan, who was thinking about how to start the conversation, smiled and said, "I have always been learning from you seniors, so of course we have something in common."

"The reason I went there is because I felt that as a student, I should stay with my classmates."

Although Cheng Xuyuan did not emphasize the word "student", he deliberately prolonged the pronunciation a little.

This is to tell everyone present that I am just a student and it is very normal for me not to sit with you.

The old man sitting in the middle laughed and said, "Xuyuan, you are so dishonest even though you are young."

"You probably don't even know who we are, yet you say you have been learning from us. If this isn't just fooling us old comrades, then what is this?"

The old man's words caused a burst of laughter.

Shen Yunliang, who was sitting next to Cheng Xuyuan, hurriedly introduced him to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, this is Master Wu Gang, he is now..."

In one breath, Shen Yunliang introduced quite a few titles.

Among them is the current person in charge of the harvest.

Although Mr. Ba has always been the editor-in-chief of Harvest, Harvest magazine is now mainly managed by Mr. Wu.

After hearing the introduction, Cheng Xuyuan's mind suddenly appeared the content he had read about this senior in the past.

He said without any fear: "Hello, Mr. Wu."

Old Wu smiled and said, "Xuyuan, I always like to speak my mind. Yun Liang just introduced me to you, so I want to ask you, what have you learned from me?"

I don't think I have offended anyone, so why is this old senior keeping picking on me?

Cheng Xuyuan knew that if he tried to defend himself at this moment, it would probably have a counterproductive effect.

But if you keep silent, people will look down on you.

As thoughts flashed through his mind, he suddenly had an idea, and he smiled and said, "Master Wu, let me tell you what I have learned, and you can see if I have learned it correctly."

Everyone at the main table now set their eyes on Cheng Xuyuan.

Although they didn't know why Mr. Wu wanted to compete with the young man Cheng Xuyuan today, this was also something they liked to see.

After all, as a senior, it is also a pleasure to give guidance to the newcomers.

They really wanted to know what Cheng Xuyuan had learned from Mr. Wu's works.

At this time, Cheng Xuyuan said in a loud voice: "The earth is laughing.

The wheat seedlings are growing vigorously, and the fields are green. The grass and trees have sprouted green buds and leaves, and peach and apricot blossoms are in full bloom in the valleys and fields, emitting a fragrant aroma. The clear stream is gurgling, like a beautiful ribbon on a fairy, stretching from the high cliffs to far away places. On the cliffs, in the air, and among the trees, warblers, thrushes, larks, swallows, yellow finches and other birds are flying and singing proudly, and the birds' singing and the sound of the stream are gently echoing in the spring breeze..."

Many people present were stunned when listening to what Cheng Xuyuan was reciting.

At this time, some students stared at Cheng Xuyuan with wide eyes, wondering what was wrong with this guy? Why did he recite the description of the environment in front of these seniors?

This description is good, but isn’t it a bit too childish to recite this in front of so many seniors?

After all, everyone present was engaged in literature, so it was too easy to make a description of the environment.

However, they didn't know the cause of the incident, so even though they were confused, they had to keep it to themselves.

However, Shen Yunliang and others who were sitting at the same table at this time noticed that Wu Laogang's face seemed to be lost in thought.

These words seemed to resonate with him.

This works too!

Just as Shen Yunliang was thinking about what happened, he heard Cheng Xuyuan continue: "... the spring breeze blew her clothes and the hair hanging on her cheeks, the spring sun bathed her youthful face, and her shadow was reflected in the clear and transparent stream, clean..."

Before Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, he heard Wu Gang say, "The man from the east is busy picking water chestnuts, and the girl from the west is washing her headscarf.

Throw the headscarf to the east bank of the river, Alang, give me a handful of water chestnuts! The headscarf is wrapped with a handful of water chestnuts, and the water chestnuts contain Amei’s heart…”

As Wu Gang spoke, a gentle-looking woman sitting below him suddenly said, "Editor-in-Chief Wu, what Cheng Xuyuan just recited was your..."

The woman didn't say anything before everyone else reacted.

They have also read the famous works of Editor-in-Chief Wu.

They know the general plot, but asking them to recite it is really difficult.

After all, it was just too much.

But Cheng Xuyuan directly recited the most exciting part, and judging from Cheng Xuyuan's appearance, he could continue reciting.

In other words, what he just said was not a humble remark, but the truth.

He had really seen the works of everyone present and had learned from everyone present.

After all, everyone has memorized your work, so how can they learn from you?

Old Wu stopped reciting and said with a look full of emotion: "Xuyuan, you just said you were learning from us, I think you are making an excuse."

"I think young people like you should speak your mind instead of being worldly-wise."

"This is not good for your creation."

"So I hope that you can experience a little frustration and realize that even if you can gain temporary benefits by taking shortcuts, it is still not as good as being down-to-earth."

"But now it seems that I thought too much."

At this point, Wu Gang continued, "Some time ago, Mr. Ba read the special issue of short stories published by Yanjing Literature and Art for you and said that you will be the leader of the younger generation in the future literary world."

"After meeting you this time, I feel that he is really good at judging people."

After hearing the comments conveyed by Mr. Wu, the people present looked at Cheng Xuyuan with even more different eyes.

After all, this evaluation is really very high.

But Cheng Xuyuan's performance is worthy of this evaluation.

Not to mention Cheng Xuyuan's works, just the things he just recited give people a stunning feeling.

Cheng Xuyuan quickly said modestly: "Mr. Ba really praised me too much. Although I have written some things, I feel that my creative journey has just begun."

"I still have a lot to learn. I am still just an elementary school student on the road of literature."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Cheng Xuyuan's modesty made the thirty-something woman who had just spoken laugh and said, "Xuyuan, excessive modesty is pride."

"If you can only be considered a primary school student, then what are we?"

"A kindergarten student?"

At this point, she said with a hint of emotion: "Xuyuan, my father wanted to see you very much, but he happened to be out for the past two days."

“I believe he will feel regretful when he comes back.”

Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan already knew who this woman was. Just when he was about to say that he would visit Ba Lao at any time, he heard the woman say, "So, why don't you write an article for our harvest, which can also make up for this regret."

I……

At this moment, Cheng Xuyuan really didn't know what to say.

Although he had received many commissioned articles, the one from Ms. Li was of such a high standard that he was speechless.

"I will submit the manuscript as soon as possible." Facing the gazes directed at him, Cheng Xuyuan really didn't intend to say anything at this moment.

It's no use saying anything else now.

With this episode, the meal ended in laughter.

Cheng Xuyuan received another commissioned article, and his talent also left a deep impression on everyone.

Especially the editors who came over, they were talking about Cheng Xuyuan at this time.

They had originally given a very high evaluation to the young author Cheng Xuyuan, but only now did they feel that the evaluation they had given seemed a bit low.

Those who came with Cheng Xuyuan also felt that Cheng Xuyuan was extraordinary.

It must be a great honor to be recognized by a big shot like Ba Lao as a leader of the future young generation.

Cheng Xuyuan had just returned to his residence when Shen Yunliang came to find him.

Because he drank a little too much, Shen Yunliang's eyes were a little red.

He said to Cheng Xuyuan: "What Elder Wu said at the beginning was all true."

"He has been feeling recently that young authors are a bit frivolous and need to get down to earth and polish themselves more."

"And you are a leader among young authors, so his expectations of you will naturally be higher."

"So, don't take it personally and think it's directed at you."

Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, being strict is a good thing. Besides, I didn't suffer any loss this time."

After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Shen Yunliang smiled and said, "Xuyuan, your memory is really admirable."

At this point, he said earnestly: "Xuyuan, you have achieved what you have now, and you are valued by your predecessors. You will have a bright future in the future."

"At times like this, you must also guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and be modest and prudent. Only in this way can you go further."

“Don’t ever think you are smart and look down on everyone else.”

After hearing this, the programmer was stunned for a moment. Why did he feel that the tone of Shen Yunliang's speech to him was a bit like that of a father-in-law?

Could it be that the former father-in-law is also the father-in-law? Just as Cheng Xuyuan was sighing in his heart and agreeing, he heard Shen Yunliang say: "Xuyuan, did you see Yu Mo this time? How is she doing?"

These two questions immediately pulled Cheng Xuyuan back from his wild thoughts.

This question is very important, and if you don’t answer it well, there will be problems.

So Cheng Xuyuan said quickly: "Uncle Shen, when I saw Yu Mo, she had just returned from the hotel by car."

"She feels very guilty about this situation, but in the final analysis, she just wants to see you so much."

"By the way, Yu Mo bought you a set of clothes and asked me to bring it back to you."

"She said that she will return to Yanjing to visit you and Aunt Li next summer at the latest."

After saying this, Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, everything he said was exactly the same as what Shen Yumo had said.
