Chapter 100: Follow Teacher Lin
Zheng Guo left, and after confessing the truth to Lin Weimin, he left without any psychological burden.
Lin Weimin looked at his back with a relaxed smile on his face.
He just said that he had guessed that it was Zheng Guo who spread the rumor and it was pure nonsense. When Lin Weimin first heard Zheng Guo admit that the rumor came from him, he was indeed a little angry.
But when she saw Zheng Guo's cautious look, and thought of the jar of salted duck eggs that he gave her with great reluctance, given his character, he would probably feel painful for a few days this time. It can be seen that he was quite sincere in admitting his mistake and apologizing.
The anger in Lin Weimin's heart dissipated a lot.
After these days, the rumors had long since faded away. Lin Weimin had returned to his normal state of mind, except for being a little angry in the first few days.
In fact, if Zheng Guo didn't admit it, Lin Weimin wouldn't have found out that it was him who spread the rumor when he was drinking. His active admission of the matter at least proved that he was not a bad person and was someone you could make friends with, so there was no need for him to dwell on it.
Back in the courtyard, the drinking was coming to an end.
After a short while, everyone stood up one after another to say goodbye to Lin Weimin. Before leaving, they did not forget to clean up the table for Lin Weimin. Lin Weimin saw them out one by one.
Wang Shuo and Qu Xiaowei were the last to leave. Lin Weimin asked him, "How is your business research going?"
Wang Shuo said, a little drunk, "We've done the research. In a few days I'll go to Guangzhou with a buddy to buy electronic watches. The purchase price is 5 yuan, and I can sell them for 85 yuan."
"What a black-hearted person!" Lin Weimin cursed with a smile.
Wang Shuo laughed and said, "It's called one willing to fight, the other willing to be beaten."
"Okay. I wish you a prosperous business. If you can't make it in business, come back and continue writing for me."
"Fuck you, can't you just hope for me to be better?"
After chatting and laughing for a while, Lin Weimin sent Wang Shuo and Qu Xiaowei away.
After returning home, Lin Weimin looked around. Dozens of people had come to his house in the morning, and the house was in a mess. The kitchen was not cleaned up, so he had work to do in the afternoon.
After busy cleaning for a long time, the house was finally clean. Lin Weimin was exhausted. After returning the borrowed things to his neighbor, he returned to the bedroom and fell on the bed.
From now on, he finally had his own little home in Yanjing, and Lin Weimin couldn't help but smile.
The next day is a working day.
Lin Weimin went to work as usual. In the afternoon, a young face came to the editorial office of Contemporary Magazine.
Yu Hua walked into the editorial office of Contemporary with some trepidation, "Excuse me, who is Mr. Lin Weimin?"
Everyone looked up at the young man at the door.
When they heard him call Lin Weimin teacher, everyone showed an amused smile on their faces, as if they were watching novices fighting each other.
Lin Weimin was reviewing a manuscript. He looked up and could vaguely see a sense of familiarity in that young face.
He stood up and said with a smile: "You are Comrade Yu Hua, right?"
"Hello, Teacher Lin, I am Yu Hua." Yu Hua shook hands with Lin Weimin with a bit of shyness.
"Come on, sit down."
Lin Weimin poured Yu Hua a cup of tea and asked about his well-being.
Yu Hua was a little flattered.
When Lin Weimin heard that Yu Hua had stood all the way to Beijing, he said, "You are here to revise the manuscript and enjoy cadre treatment. You can buy a hard sleeper ticket. Forget about it when you come here, I will buy one for you when you leave."
Yu Hua was delighted. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. "Thank you, Teacher Lin."
After chatting for a while, Lin Weimin said, "It's not a hasty matter to revise the manuscript. I'll take you to meet the editor-in-chief first, and then arrange your food and accommodation."
Lin Weimin took Yu Hua to Qin Chaoyang's office. Yu Hua seemed very nervous. Qin Chaoyang didn't say much and asked Lin Weimin to take Yu Hua upstairs to arrange for him to stay.
Lin Weimin took Yu Hua to Room 301, which was now vacant and perfect for Yu Hua to live in.
"As I said earlier, you are here to revise the manuscript and enjoy the treatment of cadres. This is the guesthouse of our Guowen Society. You will live here from now on. You can eat in the cafeteria. In addition, you will receive a subsidy of two yuan a day."
This good news made Yu Hua happy again. He thought to himself, two yuan a day, thirty days a month is sixty yuan, which is much higher than his salary at work, and it also includes food and accommodation.
Within the first hour at the Chinese Literature Society, Yu Hua completely fell in love with this place.
At the same time, I silently thanked Teacher Lin for being my benefactor.
After arranging accommodation for Yu Hua, Lin Weimin said, "You should have a good rest today. You must have stood all the way to Yanjing. After you have rested, you can go out and buy some daily necessities."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Lin."
After making arrangements for Yu Hua, Lin Weimin returned to his office, feeling secretly happy.
After get off work in the evening, Lin Weimin came to the third floor, greeted his familiar colleagues and writers, and knocked on the door of 301.
Yu Hua was leaning against the bedside reading a book at this time. When he saw him coming, he immediately stood up and said, "Teacher Lin!"
"Don't be so restrained." Lin Weimin waved his hand and said, "Actually, we are about the same age, there is no need to be like this."
Yu Hua asked, "Teacher Lin, how old are you this year?"
"I'm twenty."
"ah!"
Yu Hua let out a cry in surprise. He had always seen Lin Weimin's name in magazines and subconsciously regarded Lin Weimin as a teacher. Although he felt that Lin Weimin was very young when they met, he did not associate him with age.
He never expected that Lin Weimin was the same age as him.
Looking at other people’s twenties and then looking at his own twenties, Yu Hua suddenly felt a little depressed.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Weimin asked when he saw that he hadn't spoken for a while.
"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to be so young."
The boy is really good at talking.
Lin Weimin smiled and said, "You are just as young."
Yu Hua scratched his head embarrassedly. Teacher Lin dared to say that, but he didn't dare to admit it. Compared with him, he was far behind.
"Let's go have a meal together."
"Ah?" Yu Hua was stunned.
Lin Weimin said, "I'll give you a chance to catch the wind. Besides, you finally come to Yanjing, don't you want to try the specialties of Yanjing?"
Yu Hua was a little shy at first, but when he heard Lin Weimin mention the characteristics of Yanjing, his eyes immediately lit up.
Lin Weimin took Yu Hua to Quanjude as if he knew the place well and treated him to a meal of Yanjing roast duck.
Yu Hua's mouth was full of oil after eating this meal, and he sighed in his heart that it was better to be a writer! Although Teacher Lin was the same age as him, he treated her to a meal of Yanjing roast duck without blinking an eye.
Yu Hua secretly vowed in his heart that he must become a writer like Teacher Lin in the future.
On this day, Yu Hua kept calling Lin Weimin "Teacher Lin", and Lin Weimin was secretly very happy.
The boy is quite smart and teachable. He should follow Teacher Lin from now on.
