Chapter 459 How did I bribe you?
After dinner, I returned to my room to rest for a while before the symposium began. Admittedly, some people in the Writers' Association were quite bureaucratic, but the symposium was truly informative. Several established writers shared their own insights and techniques on writing, and Gu Siqing benefited greatly from it.
Therefore, you can still join the Writers Association.
Just as Xie Jihua said, writers must enter the cultural circle. Otherwise, everyone is active in the same circle, and you stand on the periphery, not knowing the situation inside, and it is difficult to achieve great success.
Gu Siqing began to consider joining the Writers Association, but she felt it would be better to wait until graduation.
The next two days were spent enjoying the beauty of the mountains and holding discussions, and they were quite pleasant. After returning home, she went to Xia Ying's house and told her that she would introduce her to several well-known writers.
Xia Ying agreed immediately. Gu Siqing said, "I attended a symposium held by the Writers Association two days ago and learned some things."
She mentioned that someone in the Writers Association might have exchanged interests with certain organizations, and then said, "You should pay attention to this matter as well."
Xia Ying sighed, patted her head, and said, "Xiao Si! Do the higher-ups know about these things?"
Gu Siqing hadn't thought about this question and could only remain silent.
Xia Ying continued, "The higher-ups know about this, but we can't forcibly ban this kind of thing. It's not like feudal society where we could just resort to literary inquisition. Now everyone has freedom of speech. If someone advocates for the West, what can we do to them? Arrest them and put them in jail?"
What we can do is strengthen our own culture and enhance our people's confidence in it. However, the Western economy is stronger than ours, so our confidence is still a little weak."
It's more than just one thing. Many people think that everything abroad is better than in China.
"Are we just going to let it go?" Gu Siqing said.
Xia Ying thought for a moment and said, "I'd better ask the old comrades about this kind of thing. I don't know either."
"It seems that I was overthinking it." Gu Siqing sighed.
"It's good that you can find the problem."
While they were talking, Xia Qingzhang came back. Xia Ying took Gu Siqing to the study and told him what happened. Xia Qingzhang looked at Gu Siqing and said with relief:
"Our Xiaosi people have a different ideological consciousness. Intellectuals are the disseminators of ideas and must uphold a high level of ideological consciousness, but we cannot force intellectuals to export certain things or not.
Moreover, we are now in the process of reform and opening up. The country is open, and while good things can come in, bad things will also come in. All the higher-ups can do is control the overall situation.”
"Then don't care about it?" Gu Siqing said.
"Of course I care. Of course I care." Xia Qingzhang looked at Gu Siqing seriously and said, "I'll leave the task to you. Find the person at the top, and don't worry about the rest."
Gu Siqing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to complete the task."
Xia Qingzhang laughed heartily and added, "Don't take any risks. You can even identify a few suspicious individuals. Then the relevant departments will investigate them."
Gu Siqing nodded, then left the study with Xia Ying. Xia Qingzhang sighed deeply. People like him, corrupted by Western ideas, weren't just in the Writers Association; they existed in every walk of life. The bottom line was, he wasn't strong enough.
With the strengthening of economic and military strength and the enhancement of national self-confidence, many problems have been easily solved.
Gu Siqing was sent home by Xia Ying, feeling quite uncomfortable. She was not a black-and-white person, but she was very angry when she saw those people who were trained by the country, earned money from the country, but had their hearts set on foreign countries.
After I got home, I lay down on the bed and took a nap, and when I woke up I wasn't as angry anymore.
The International Diving Championships were to be held in a week, and Gu Sanjing had already departed with the team on a chartered flight. This time, Gu Siqing, Gu Jianguo, and Wang Yueju were going as part of the family and friends group, along with Han Zhengping, who would be joining them in Australia.
"Let's go there early so we can spend a few more days there." Gu Siqing said to Gu Jianguo, "You can be said to be taking my mom on a world tour."
"Okay, let's go there early." Gu Jianguo immediately asked his assistant to buy plane tickets.
Gu Siqing communicated with Han Zhengping over the phone about the time of arrival in Australia and asked him to go there early.
On this side, Gu Sanjing and his friends arrived at the Australian airport and ran into an acquaintance, Xu Yusen, at the exit.
Gu Sanjing was surprised to see him, "Are you here on business?"
"No, I came to watch your game." Xu Yusen smiled, looking handsome.
People who are good-looking have advantages, at least they are pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Gu Sanjing no longer knew what he was thinking, she was really naive. Looking at Xu Yusen who was smiling happily, she said: "Then you must put your wallet away carefully this time, don't let it be stolen again."
Xu Yusen chuckled, "Okay."
At this time, the coach came to urge Gu Sanjing to leave. Xu Yusen smiled and waved goodbye to her. He rushed here so early just to see this brief moment.
But it's worth it.
Back at the hotel, Xu Yusen picked up the phone, dialed a number, and asked the person on the other end, "When will you arrive?"
The person on the other end said, "One day later."
Then he hung up the phone and started booking a room.
As soon as Gu Siqing and the others got off the plane, they saw Han Zhengping and Xu Yusen.
"When did you arrive?" Gu Siqing was surprised that the two of them were together, but didn't ask.
Xu Yusen took the luggage from Gu Jianguo and said, "It arrived yesterday."
Gu Jianguo nodded, and then they all went out to get a taxi. They called two cars, Xu Yusen, Gu Jianguo, and Wang Yueju in one, and Gu Siqing and Han Zhengping in the other.
"Did you tip him off?" Gu Siqing asked Han Zhengping.
Han Zhengping interlocked his fingers with hers. "It wasn't really a tip-off. He asked me what time I would arrive, and I told him."
Gu Siqing looked at him with a half-smile, "How did he bribe you?"
Han Zhengping immediately said, "No, I just think he's a nice guy and a good match for San Jing."
Gu Siqing: "That's not a good reason. Make up another one."
Han Zhengping had no choice but to take out a small rectangular box and hand it to her, "I asked him to buy it for me."
When Gu Siqing opened it, she saw an exquisite necklace inside. The pendant was a teardrop-shaped pink diamond. It was simple but beautiful.
Gu Siqing took a look and closed the lid. "This won't happen again."
Han Zhengping smiled: "Okay."
"Do you like it?" Han Zhengping asked.
Gu Siqing nodded and said, "I like it very much."
