Watching the two of them talking and laughing as they returned to the Youth League compound, Tian Jinbu's thoughts slowly surfaced.
After entering the educated youth compound, Tian Jinbu, who was sitting on the kang for the male educated youths, pulled Zhong Yuejin aside with a sneer on his face, and when no one was around, he spoke directly:
"Brother Zhong! You have made a fortune now. By copying Lin Huowang's poems, you can return to the city early and even work at Poetry Magazine, becoming a great poet admired by young literary men across the country.
But I still have to work in the fields in this poor rural area for a few work points.
How come there is such a huge difference between our fates? "
When Zhong Yuejin heard Tian Jinbu say this, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew that he was becoming mentally unbalanced.
So he quickly tried to persuade him kindly: "Old Tian, what you said is true. Aren't we good brothers? I can go back to the city, you should be happy for me!
Besides, after I return to the city, it will also be beneficial to you..."
As he said this, Zhong Yuejin immediately took out all the money and food coupons he had on him.
He stuffed all the money into Tian Jinbu's hands and said generously: "Take this money first and use it to improve your food.
When I return to Beijing and get my salary, I will send you some money every month.
You are my good brother and you helped me so much, I will never forget you."
"Who cares about your triviality? Zhong Yuejin, do you think I should follow you to the county tomorrow?
In front of the editor of Poetry Magazine, I reported that your poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" was plagiarized and that the real author was actually Lin Huowang.
So, will all the beautiful future that you and Zhao Huan are looking forward to become a mirage?"
Tian Jinbu's expression suddenly became extremely ferocious and terrifying, and he threatened Zhong Yuejin.
Zhong Yuejin's expression changed immediately. He glared at Tian Jinbu fiercely and shouted: "Tian Jinbu! If you really want to do this, at worst we will both die together. I can't go back to Beijing, and I don't want to live anymore.
But before I die, I will definitely drag you down with me, so you can try it.”
"Hey! You're still angry, you want to kill people to silence them?
Do you have the guts? Zhong Yuejin, let me tell you.
You guys go back to the capital and enjoy the good life, but you want to leave me here alone? Forget it!"
Tian Jinbu was not someone who would be easily scared off, and he spoke more firmly.
Anyway, the initiative is in his hands now, and it is Zhong Yuejin who should be worried about being exposed.
really……
After Tian Jinbu's tough words, Zhong Yuejin immediately softened like a paper tiger. He bit his lip and asked, "Old Tian! Then just speak frankly. What do you want? What should I do to satisfy you and stop exposing me?"
With this said, Zhong Yuejin is basically raising the white flag.
In this negotiation, he no longer had any bargaining chips.
No matter what conditions Tian Jinbu put forward, he had no choice but to agree to them.
"Hey! Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier?"
Tian Jinbu smiled proudly and said, "What I want is very simple, just two points in total.
First, you and Zhao Huan are together, and I haven't tasted the taste of a woman yet! Zhao Huan, this bitch, actually when I first went to the countryside, when Liu Rumeng hadn't come yet, I fell in love with Zhao Huan.
I didn't expect that she was such a utilitarian woman. It's just right, you go and persuade Zhao Huan to let her sleep with me tonight..."
"What? That's impossible. Even if I agree to it, Zhao Huan won't agree to it."
With his eyes wide open, Zhong Yuejin did not expect that Tian Jinbu would actually make such a request.
"If you don't try, how do you know Zhao Huan won't agree? Based on my understanding of women like her.
She just needs to know that if she doesn't agree to me, her dream of following you to the capital will be completely shattered.
Believe me, she will agree."
Tian Jinbu said confidently.
"Well... okay! I'll go talk to her about it later."
Zhong Yuejin exhaled and nodded, "What's the other condition?"
“There is another condition, which is that after you return to the capital, you become the editor of Poetry Magazine.
I don't care whether you spend money or use connections. You must transfer me from here to the capital within a year.
I don’t want to stay in this countryside any longer. I want to go back to the city, preferably the capital.”
Tian Jinbu made another request.
"This... this is even more impossible. If I go to Poetry Magazine, I can only be an ordinary editor, not a leader.
How could they have such great power to transfer you from a rural area in the Northeast to the capital?"
Zhong Yuejin said again with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Old Zhong, you have to believe in the power of a nationally renowned poet. When you return to the capital, use your name to build relationships.
Is it possible that you still don’t recognize the leading cadres? Do you know how many young literary people and leading cadres like your poem “Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms”?
Tian Jinbu put his arm around Zhong Yuejin's shoulders affectionately and said with a smile, "Now, go call Zhao Huan out! Just tell her that I'm waiting for her in the shabby house behind the grove, lighting a fire..."
