Chapter 462 Wen Leyu is the Boss
With the fall of the third heavy snow, the footsteps of 1985 quietly came to everyone.
Li Ye arranged the way for Pei Wencong, asking him to prepare for the electronics factory step by step, and then he returned to school to get busy with "real business".
The first thing was his own final exam.
The final exams for the first half of the junior year are approaching, and the study atmosphere in the class has become more intense. If you want to find a seat in the library in the evening, there will be queues.
The reason for this situation is closely related to the rumor that "test scores are linked to job assignments".
If college students from the classes of 1978, 1979 and even 1980 were all popular candidates among departments at all levels in big cities, then Li Ye's class of 1982 would be much inferior. Perhaps more than half of them would have to leave Beijing.
But who is willing to leave the capital?
Three years ago, when everyone gathered in Beijing from all over the world, perhaps many people still had the idea of returning to their hometown after graduation, but after their junior year, most people no longer had that idea and just wanted to stay in Beijing.
Although Li Ye didn't care much about the issue of graduation assignment, a good academic record is still one of the important traces in life. Therefore, as a goalkeeper in the top ten of the class, Li Ye had to focus most of his energy on reviewing his lessons.
Junior year is no longer freshman year, and it is no longer possible to get full marks just by relying on the powerful memory function of the biological hard drive.
The second thing Li Ye needs to solve is the issue of the next "leader" of the Lone Army Literary Society.
When Li Ye first joined the Lone Army Literary Society, Li Huaisheng was the main person in charge and Yang Yumin was the first writer.
When Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin reached the second semester of their junior year, they gradually handed over the burden to Li Ye. After their senior year, Li Ye officially took over the daily management of the literature club.
According to convention, the same thing will fall to Li Ye after the Chinese New Year, so now it is basically necessary to determine who will be the successor.
But the current situation of the Lone Army Literary Society is different from the previous two sessions.
In the past, Li Huaisheng was in charge of various liaison matters with the school, Yang Yumin was responsible for literary affairs, and Li Ye was just the "outline writer".
When Li Ye took over, he was still the one who wrote the outline, and the liaison and coordination matters with the school were basically done by Mu Yuning.
And Mu Yuning is still the top writer in the literature club.
The army may change but the camp remains the same. Every year new students join the Lone Army Literary Society and every year some students leave. However, Mu Yuning's identity as a teacher has the special attribute of a "camp", which makes him special.
The Youth League Committee has discussed with Li Ye several times whether Mu Yuning can take up the responsibility of the Lone Army Literary Society.
Li Ye did not say yes or no, but simply listed several of the best candidates and objectively stated their advantages.
Mu Yuning's advantage lies in his excellent organizational skills, his status as a teacher, and his writing skills are also one of the best.
But whether to change the previous rules and transfer the burden of the literature club from the students to the teachers is up to you to decide!
In the end, the school decided to select the next president of the literary club through "democratic voting".
One day in late January, the school notified all members of the Lone Army Literary Society that an internal vote would be held.
"Brother, who should we choose today? Teacher Mu?"
On the way to the literature club, the younger brother Sun Xianjin started to "collude" with Li Ye.
"It's up to you. I chose Mr. Mu anyway."
"Then I will choose Mr. Mu too."
Li Ye looked at Sun Xianjin and said with a smile: "Aren't you getting along well with Chu Yusheng? Why don't you consider choosing him?"
Sun Xianjin shook his head and said, "Chu Yusheng's literary talent is certainly good, but his temper is too soft, and he can't control the situation. His management ability is not a little bit worse than Teacher Mu. Besides, what is the relationship between Teacher Mu and us? It's better to promote the virtuous without avoiding relatives!"
Mu Yuning is the class teacher of Li Ye and Sun Xianjin. Given the influence of Li Ye and Sun Xianjin in the literature club, plus the family groups of Bian Jingjing and Wen Leyu, today's vote feels like a formality to avoid suspicion.
Even Wen Leyu, who had a mediocre impression of Mu Yuning, had to admit that Mu Yuning's advantages were obvious.
But when Li Ye and Sun Xianjin arrived at the voting site, they heard an unexpected news.
Mu Yuning has already submitted his resignation to the school, and will no longer be a teacher at Peking University after the end of this semester.
Now that she is no longer a teacher, what are all the advantages she had before?
Li Ye saw Mu Yuning talking to the Youth League Committee members, and it was not convenient for him to go over and ask, but he immediately saw his girlfriend Wen Leyu, who was making eye contact with him.
Well, when Wen Leyu pays attention to some people or things, he is still well-informed.
Li Ye walked over, and Wen Leyu whispered to him, "Yu Lichen has returned to Peking University and started as a teaching assistant. It is said that he went to Teacher Mu's office this morning and gave him a big bouquet of flowers."
When talking about "a big bunch of flowers", Wen Leyu, who has never been materialistic, waved her arms to make a big heart shape. This shows the special status of flowers, something that looks good but is not edible, in the hearts of girls.
Li Ye thought about it and it made sense. This was the capital city in the winter of the 1980s, not the later times where flowers were airlifted in and flying all over the sky. A bunch of flowers in the middle of winter would definitely cause quite a stir in the school.
Li Ye said: "So Mr. Mu resigned because of this? It's not like he can't be offended, so why does he have to hide?"
"Maybe he finds it disgusting! The other day, Teacher Mu said that he felt sick just by looking at Yu Lichen. This time, he resigned without any hesitation. This pile of shit is disgusting no matter how you deal with it. It's better to just avoid it."
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye and suddenly said, "As for where Teacher Mu will go, you don't have to worry about her. Her family is able to find her a good job."
Li Ye looked at Wen Leyu unexpectedly, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Why do you think I would worry about her?"
"You just like to meddle in other people's affairs. You are too kind."
Wen Leyu curled her lips, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Li Ye's pushy attitude, but then she thought of the scene when she and Li Ye met, and felt that Li Ye's kindness was the matchmaker between the two of them.
If it weren't for Li Ye's kindness, which made him take the blame for stealing corn cobs, how could Wen Leyu get together with him?
“.”
The voting that day was quite competitive because Mu Yuning, the No. 1 seed, was not there.
The votes of several students from Class 83 and Class 84 were very close. In the end, Chu Yusheng from Class 83 won with the highest number of votes and became the candidate for the next president.
Everyone congratulated Chu Yusheng, and they were all laughing and joking, as if there were no grudges between them.
Only Mu Yuning had a calm expression, as if he had nothing to do with this warm little group.
Mu Yuning has joined the Lone Army Literary Society for nearly a year. The final version of "The Longest Day in Chang'an" has been delivered and will soon enter the stage of publishing and film and television adaptation. As the chief writer, she was already preparing for the harvest season, but now it seems that she has to leave quietly.
Perhaps noticing Li Ye's gaze, Mu Yuning hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards him.
"After I resign and leave, if there are any problems with the script or novel of The Longest Day in Chang'an and you need me to revise it, you can call me on this number."
Mu Yuning first handed Li Ye a note with a phone number and a mailing address on it.
Li Ye looked at the address on the note and asked, "Have you found a new unit?"
Mu Yuning shook his head and said, "I don't want to join a new company for the time being. I plan to try the profession of freelance writer to see if I can support myself."
Li Ye asked in surprise: "You want to become a full-time writer?"
Mu Yuning smiled and nodded, still feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Just like those who write online articles in later generations, those who had no jobs in the 1980s and only lived on royalties received mixed reviews in public and behind their backs.
Shuo Ye once said that when he first devoted himself to writing novels, he was regarded as "not doing his job properly" by people around him.
"Okay, Mr. Mu, if you want to submit an article in the future, you can contact Pei Wencong or Dong Yuejin. They are well-known in this circle and can recommend a publishing house that matches the style of the article."
Mu Yuning nodded slightly, said "thank you", and then walked out.
"Alas~"
Li Ye looked at Mu Yuning's lonely back and sighed.
Wen Leyu pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking. Half a minute later, she suddenly grabbed Li Ye's arm and chased after him.
Li Ye was being pulled to jog while asking, "Hey, Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
Wen Leyu said, "Since she wants to be a full-time writer, isn't that just right for our new novel?"
Li Ye asked in surprise: "You mean, you want to get her to join the group?"
Wen Leyu said: "At least she knows everything about me, has good literary literacy, and has no moral problems. My sister's new company needs such people, and she can be trusted to work with them."
“.”
Wen Leyu and Li Ye quickly caught up with Mu Yuning, and Wen Leyu told him their intentions.
Mu Yuning looked at Li Ye in surprise, and after a moment he finally understood that after Li Ye stepped down as the president of the Lone Army Literary Society, he would no longer lend his creative ideas to the students in the society, nor would he provide detailed outlines or detailed outlines for novels.
They already have a couple, why would they share their own things?
Mu Yuning thought for a moment before saying, "I roughly understand what you mean, but are you sure my writing style is suitable for your new novel?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "Our new novel, The Legend of Qin, is a large historical novel series with many stories about female characters. Your writing style is certainly suitable for it."
“.”
Seeing that Mu Yuning was a little hesitant, Wen Leyu added: "Yang Yumin will also be responsible for part of it. If you are interested, you can take a look at Li Ye's creative ideas and outline."
"I don't need to watch, I believe in Li Ye's talent and ability."
"Well, you're welcome to join us."
Wen Leyu stretched out her hand to Mu Yuning, acting very formally, as if she was the boss of this literary team.
Well, actually, this new company was initiated and founded by Li Yue and Wen Leyu. In the future, all the royalties of Li Ye and Yang Yumin will be under the supervision of Wen Leyu and Li Yue.
