Chapter 307 You Should Beg Me!
As December approaches, the weather in the north becomes freezing cold, and universities are also in the final stage of exams.
University is different from elementary and middle school. Failing an exam is not something that will make your parents angry.
So no matter whether you are a sports expert or a romantic poet, you should hold on to the book and read it carefully, so as to avoid accidentally making mistakes and really affecting your destiny.
The library was crowded and the heating in the dormitory was intermittent, so the Lone Army Literary Society was suddenly packed with people.
Because the literature club had a "secret fund", they burned the best anthracite without restraint, and even wearing a sweater was too hot.
Moreover, there is always a large steel pot stewing on the stove, which contains either thick eight-treasure porridge or beauty-enhancing pig's trotter and radish soup, which anyone can drink.
Given these conditions, anyone who came in during the winter would not want to leave. For a time, the Lone Army Literary Society was more popular than the library.
Li Ye, the person in charge who can "attract business", is naturally becoming more and more popular. No matter what, whoever can bring benefits to everyone will be supported by everyone. This has been the case since ancient times.
Li Ye scooped out half a lunch box of eight-treasure porridge from the big pot on the stove and handed it to Zhou Zhihe, the eldest son.
"Old Four, this book 'The Longest Day in Chang'an' hasn't been finished yet! You don't have to rush to learn the script. Review your lessons more. Don't be like last semester, when you almost failed."
Although "The Longest Day in Chang'an" has few words, it is very suitable for TV adaptation, so Li Ye decided to make a film and television adaptation plan from the beginning.
So Zhou Zhihe collected a lot of scripts and learned from them, and he was not in a hurry to review his lessons even now.
Zhou Zhihe took the lunch box, slurped a sip, let out a satisfied "ah", and then pouted his face and said, "Can we not talk about this? I was careless last semester.
You see, I will study hard for the last ten days. If I don’t get into the top ten, I will write my name upside down.”
"Okay, okay, you're awesome! I'm so talented, but I can't even say I can get into the top ten!"
Li Ye stopped arguing with Lao Si. He knew that this guy was actually very smart. As long as he was given half a month, he would definitely pass the exam, even if he didn't get into the top ten.
Li Ye walked to a table in a corner of the literature club.
This is the dedicated position for the "chief writer", it is somewhat quiet and somewhat lonely.
When Mu Yuning saw Li Ye coming, he handed him a few sheets of manuscript paper on the table.
Li Ye picked it up, looked at it, and made several marks in pencil at several places.
"I feel it's a bit dragged out here. Reduce a few dozen words. The description of Zhang Xiaojing here is too feminine. He is a rough but delicate person. He is rough on the surface and not that delicate."
Mu Yuning's writing ability is very strong, her words are gorgeous and her writing is delicate, but she is a woman, and when writing a novel like "The Longest Day in Chang'an", it is inevitable that there are many inappropriate places.
Li Ye didn't treat her as a teacher either. Whenever there was something that "didn't look right", he would point it out directly and ask Mu Yuning to change it.
After listening to Li Ye's words, Mu Yuning took it back and marked the modification requirements with a red pen without showing any displeasure.
This has been the basic way the two of them communicated during this period of time, and they would do so without talking if possible.
In the literature club, Mu Yuning is not a teacher but a "writer", and Li Ye is the "editor-in-chief". The two of them should talk as little as possible to avoid awkwardness.
But today Li Ye talked a lot.
He took out a note and gave it to Mu Yuning: "Teacher Mu, I need to take a day off tomorrow. This is the note. Also, I will not be returning to the dormitory tonight. I want to report this to you first."
Mu Yuning took the note and signed it, but after signing it, he suddenly asked, "You're not coming back tonight? What are you doing?"
Li Ye said, "Tomorrow a senior of mine is getting married, and I have to go over to help him tonight. It's not convenient if I live in school."
Mu Yuning asked: "Is it Zou Mengcheng or Peng Rui?"
Li Ye replied: "It's Peng Rui."
Mu Yuning nodded slowly, agreeing to Li Ye's request, and then picked up the pen and started writing the novel.
However, Li Ye caught a moment of loss in her eyes.
People who have been heartbroken are most afraid of seeing someone they once knew getting married, especially since Peng Rui is two years younger than Mu Yuning.
. . . . . .
At nine o'clock in the evening, Li Ye repeatedly reminded Sun Xianjin to close the literature club at eleven o'clock at the latest, and then he hurriedly left the school and returned to Zaojun Temple.
Seeing the lights on in the east wing of Zaojun Temple, Li Ye asked, "Sister, is the car full of gas?"
Li Yue opened half of the window and said, "It's full. The trunk has the wine and meat you requested. There are also two sets of women's clothing that just arrived on the back seat. They are the bridal outfits you mentioned. I don't think it's too late to deliver them."
Li Ye was delighted and asked, "It's here so soon? What do you think of the clothes?"
Li Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It's really nice, but the color is too bright. I can only wear it once in my life. It's not practical and a waste of money."
Li Ye carefully observed his sister Li Yue's expression, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the point of wasting money? When you get married, I'll design you a suit that the queen can wear."
"Alright, alright, don't worry about my sister's affairs, just go and do your own thing!"
"Pah~"
Sister Li Yue closed the window and interrupted Li Ye before he could finish his words.
Li Ye clenched his fists and dared not say another word, but he made a note of someone in his heart.
If you don't please me first, do you know the rules?
Li Ye drove onto the Volga and headed straight for the Xicheng Tax Bureau. After asking around, he finally found a three-story tube-shaped building and saw two red lanterns swaying in the cold wind.
Nowadays, all companies have trade unions. When there is a wedding or funeral, they will hang two lanterns for you, which shows their love and care for the glorious workers.
Li Ye parked the car, holding a box of mutton and two bundles of white wine, and following the festive noise, he climbed up the dim stairs to the third floor, and finally saw his two senior brothers and sisters whispering in the corridor.
Yu Xiufen had sharp eyes. She saw Li Ye before he even came over. She pointed at Li Ye and said, "Hey, look, look, I told you that Junior Brother would definitely come over tonight! And he definitely wouldn't come empty-handed."
Li Ye came over with a smile: "Senior Sister Yu, this place is so easy for me to find! Why don't you go into the house? Are you greedy for the cool outside?"
Senior brother Zou Mengcheng joked, "Yes, we just want to be cool outside. It's so cool that we can't wait to get shirtless. You're getting more and more talkative."
The taciturn Wang Zhiyuan smiled at Li Ye and said, "There are too many people here now. Peng Rui's colleagues will leave soon. We will stand outside for a while. It won't be a problem."
Li Yeda's eyes widened. He looked from the corridor to the window with the word "囍" on it, and he understood what Wang Zhiyuan meant.
The new house that Peng Rui was assigned was just a single room, only about 15 or 16 square meters at most. There was not much space left except for a cupboard, a table and a big bed.
At this time, more than a dozen friends and colleagues were crowded in this room, playing poker at two tables. There was not even a spare seat, so Yu Xiufen and others came out to the corridor to "get some fresh air."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "The Taxation Bureau is such a big organization, why is the newlyweds' dormitory so shabby? Who can live in just one room?"
"What do you mean by shabby?" Yu Xiufen scolded, "This is already a very good house, with complete ventilation, water and electricity, and a toilet right outside. Even if you work for the company for two years, you may not be able to get a house like this."
"And why are you so harsh in your words? It's okay if we're all familiar with each other, but if it's at work, you'll offend people with your words, don't you know?"
Li Ye blinked his eyes, looking at the toilet and public kitchen 20 meters away, and deeply felt the housing difficulties in the 1980s and the "happiness" of living in that era.
Although the company housing is small, you don't have to spend a penny. After a few decades, if you don't have a house of 180 square meters and don't have to pay decades of interest, how can you still find a girl to marry and start a family?
This is only possible if you look like Hu Ge.
"Okay, Xiufen, stop talking about him,"
Senior brother Zou Mengcheng looked at Li Ye and sighed repeatedly: "Haven't you heard? This kid just came to Beijing University on the first day and used the collective household registration to buy a house. He is different from us."
Not many people knew that Li Ye bought a house on the first day of school at first, and Mu Yuning kept it a secret for him.
But ever since his "30,000 yuan in royalties" was revealed at the debate, someone finally dug up his background. The logistics department is not an impenetrable wall, so Li Ye's identity as a "homeowner" was naturally revealed.
Yu Xiufen looked at Li Ye and also sighed.
"Ah, you're right, he's different from us. We can't even get a room no matter how hard we try, but he lives in more than a dozen rooms every day. It's really annoying to compare yourself to him!"
Li Ye glanced at Yu Xiufen and added fuel to the fire by asking, "What's wrong, Senior Sister? Is your marriage with Senior Brother Wang stuck on the house?"
Wang Zhiyuan was from the class of 1979. He stayed on campus after graduation this summer and was finally won over by Yu Xiufen. Li Ye knew about this.
Yu Xiufen rolled her eyes and said angrily, "I told you that you can't talk, but you still don't believe me? You're talking about something else, right? Everyone is stuck with housing problems. If your Senior Brother Zou didn't have a house, his children would be running around everywhere."
"Hey, hey, hey,"
Li Ye smiled complacently and said, "Senior sister, you are putting the cart before the horse and don't know how to appreciate kindness. It's useless for you to beg for help at work. How about you spend some effort on me?"
Yu Xiufen was stunned for a moment, and quickly waved her hands and said, "You don't understand at all. If we rent a house outside, the company will not allocate a house to us.
Besides, don’t think that you are only a sophomore, you will graduate in the blink of an eye, and that house will be used for marriage soon.”
"Well then!" Li Ye said with some regret, "Then I can only rent out my two houses. The rent is three or five yuan a month. I'll just give it to others at a discount."
"Wait a minute? How many houses do you have?"
Yu Xiufen grabbed Li Ye's sleeve and glared at him like an older sister questioning her naughty brother.
"Two sets, one in the zoo and one in Qingnian Lake."
"Why did you buy so many houses? Do you have money to burn?"
"What a joke! Are you studying economics?"
Li Ye said with disdain: "Do you know what inflation is? Do you know what high-quality assets are? Have you been taught by the teacher for so many years in vain?"
“.”
"Are you a bourgeois?"
If you ask them whether they know or not, Yu Xiufen and the others definitely know, but whether they dare to do so... depends on the individual.
