Chapter 134 Yu Mo, you must provide good service at this seminar
A symposium on the work "The Pursuit of Happiness" was held in the conference room of the Yenching Writers Association.
If we were to say who worked the hardest at this seminar, it would be Zhang Dening.
Although she was not the one who made the decision in this matter.
But it was she who ran around, she was responsible for contacting the famous people attending the conference, and even she was responsible for contacting the restaurant for dinner.
Among these famous teachers, some were not in Yanjing, and she was the one responsible for picking up these teachers and booking hotels.
At eight o'clock in the morning, after having breakfast with several famous artists who came to Beijing and inviting these bigwigs to the Yenching Writers Association, Zhang Dening was so tired that he was about to collapse and temporarily returned to the office.
She looked at Shen Yumo who was packing up the meeting supplies and complained, "Yumo, what do you want to do most now?"
Shen Yumo was surprised for a moment by her words, and then raised his head slightly.
She really wanted to tell Zhang Dening that there was only one thing she wanted to do most right now, which was to take a leave of absence today.
Today is a seminar on Cheng Xuyuan's works. As a young editor of Yenching Literature and Art, her task is to do miscellaneous work with Zhang Dening.
She wanted to resist this arrangement from the bottom of her heart.
It’s not that she had any opinion on Cheng Xuyuan, she just simply didn’t want to participate.
But you have to participate! Hold a seminar for the authors! It seems that the authors are famous, but in fact, the magazine will also benefit a lot.
This kind of work seminar is actually a manifestation of the magazine.
A display of one's own strength.
Therefore, every editor in the magazine is busy.
Veteran editors like Zou Yanlai are responsible for connecting, communicating and building relationships with familiar celebrities.
As for up-and-coming editors like Zhang Dening, they are responsible for all kinds of chores and are so busy that they enjoy themselves.
As for newcomers like Shen Yumo, they are responsible for logistical support.
Although this security work sounds easy, it is actually not peaceful.
It can be said that there is one job for each person, which is why she is embarrassed to ask for leave.
Because once she takes leave, her responsibilities will fall on others.
This dedicated girl is always conscientious and passionate about her job. Sometimes she reads manuscripts until late at night.
She follows all the rules, requirements and tasks at work in an exemplary manner and completes them conscientiously. She will never cause trouble to others because of her own reasons.
So, even though her heart was churning like raging waves, she still stayed at her post as always.
"What do you want to do?" Shen Yumo calmed himself down, put his wild thoughts aside, and asked Zhang Dening.
Zhang Dening said: "What I want to do most now is to drag Cheng Xuyuan here and give him a good stomp."
“This is a discussion meeting on his works.”
"But this guy didn't arrive until after eight o'clock."
"Isn't that infuriating? His seminar starts at nine o'clock!"
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "It's indeed a bit irritating. How about you give him a good scolding later?"
Zhang Dening hesitated for a moment and said, "Today is a great day, I will give him some face."
"After the seminar is over, I will definitely give him a good scolding."
At this point, she seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "By the way, did you get the sample book for this issue?"
Shen Yumo said: "I got it."
"That's good." Zhang Dening said, "Teacher Zou said that although we don't have enough time to let everyone comment on Desire this time, in a few months, when Desire has formed its influence, the people who came this time will gather here again and hold another seminar."
"For 'Desire'."
Shen Yumo has finished watching "Desire". She feels that it is more immersive than "The Pursuit of Happyness".
There is also a little more recognition.
In terms of writing, Shen Yumo feels that "The Pursuit of Happyness" is not inferior to "Desire".
But deep down, she prefers "Desire".
She even had a vague feeling that she seemed to be able to find a trace of herself in "Desire".
"Can "Desire" also hold a seminar?" A young editor came over and asked Zhang Dening with a hint of curiosity.
Zhang Dening waved his hand and said, "Xiao Liu, it's not like you haven't read Desire."
“Do you think it’s bad?”
The editor, known as Xiao Liu, scratched his head and said, "'Desire' is of course good, but I like 'The Pursuit of Happyness' more."
"I……"
"Okay, stop talking." Zhang Dening said, "I asked several male editors, and most of them like The Pursuit of Happyness."
“But we female editors, even Teacher Zou, like Desire.”
At this point, Zhang Dening said to Shen Yumo: "Yumo, you said that Cheng Xuyuan's description of Liu Huifang is very vivid. How did he do it?"
Shen Yumo was speechless for a while. She really didn't know how to answer this question.
"De Ning, Yu Mo, you two are here."
"Xiao Yuan, who is in charge of the meeting, has something urgent to do. When the meeting starts, you two will be responsible for bringing in the fruit plates. Also, regularly pour water into the guests' teacups."
Zou Yan came over and spoke hurriedly to Zhang Dening and Shen Yumo.
Before the two people agreed, Zou Yanlai walked in another direction.
It can be seen that she was busy like a top in this seminar.
Zhang Dening sighed and said, "Yumo, have you noticed that when Teacher Zou is too busy to handle something, he will ask the two of us to take over."
Shen Yumo felt helpless at this moment.
In fact, she is more awkward than Zhang Dening.
Originally, she was already uncomfortable doing odd jobs behind the scenes at Cheng Xuyuan's work seminar.
Now I have to serve tea and water, this...
However, Teacher Zou has always been very good to me. Not only did he give me a lot of help in my work, but he also took good care of me in daily life.
At this critical moment, she couldn't just give up and say she couldn't do such a thing.
"What can I do?" Shen Yumo expressed his helplessness in these few words.
Zhang Dening clenched his fists and said ferociously, "After this seminar, we must give Cheng Xuyuan a good beating."
"He must pay us both a little for our service to him."
Just when Zhang Dening was getting angry, he heard someone say, "Xinwu, you're finally here."
"Come on, come on, go to my office and have a glass of water first."
"These past two days, an old friend in Hangzhou mailed me some local Longjing tea. How about you try it?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dening looked outside and said with a hint of emotion: "I didn't expect that even Liu Xinwu is here!"
"Isn't it normal for him to come?" Shen Yumo asked curiously.
"Let me tell you, many people are comparing Cheng Xuyuan's The Pursuit of Happiness with Liu Xinwu's novels."
Zhang Dening smiled and said, "We only invited their editorial department when we sent out the invitation letter this time. I didn't expect him to come in person."
Shen Yumo said a little worriedly: "He won't have other ideas, right?"
Zhang Dening gloated: "It's good to have talent. If the work seminar is just good all the way, I think it's boring."
Just as the two were mumbling, a middle-aged man suddenly said, "De Ning, you two should go to the meeting room and get ready."
"Mr. Wan will be here soon."
Zhang Dening was stunned for a moment and said, "Team Leader, have we invited Mr. Wan to this seminar?"
The middle-aged man said, "I sent an invitation. I originally thought that Mr. Wan would not come, but I just got the news that Mr. Wan is coming."
"By the way, contact Cheng Xuyuan immediately and ask him to come over quickly."
"Also, several big guys from our literary association are coming too, so prepare a few more stools."
After the middle-aged man left in a hurry, Zhang Dening said, "Master Wan is here. Cheng Xuyuan is really lucky."
"It's not enough to kill him once. We must kill him twice."
Just as Zhang Dening and Shen Yumo were hurriedly preparing, Cheng Xuyuan rode his bicycle into the office building of the Yenching Writers Association.
Although he was the protagonist of this seminar, he was not nervous.
It doesn't matter if you're nervous, you won't have to pay more, so what's there to be nervous about?
After locking his bicycle, Cheng Xuyuan went to the editorial office of "Yenching Literature and Art" first. However, there were not many people in the editorial office. People he was familiar with, such as Zou Yanlai and Zhang Dening, were not there.
An editor who was familiar to him led him out of the meeting room.
Just as he was about to walk into the conference room, he heard someone say, "Chen Jianxun."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment.
I thought to myself, why is Chen Jianxun here at my seminar? He turned his head and saw a familiar figure standing not far away.
The old man I met while exercising at Weiming Lake today, why is he here too! "Chen Jianxun, why are you here if you're not in class?" The old man asked sternly when he saw Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan thought this should be his school teacher and said with a smile: "I came here to do something."
"What's your name?"
When Cheng Xuyuan asked him who he was, the old man suddenly frowned and snorted, "Don't ask me who I am. Go do your thing."
"After you finish your work, go back to class."
"I'm telling you, if you dare to skip classes casually, I'll tell your dean."
Well, you are awesome!
Cheng Xuyuan didn't dare to provoke this old man with a somewhat strange temper. He immediately agreed and quickly walked in another direction.
"Teacher, why are you here?" The middle-aged man who came with the old man came from another direction and said, "The people from the Literature Association went to the reception room to look for you, only to find that you were not there."
The old man snorted and said, "I just came out for a stroll."
"By the way, remember one thing. Go back and ask Chen Jianxun from the Chinese Department of the Class of 1977 whether he has taken a leave today."
"This kid was running around during class time, and I just caught him."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he felt helpless and wondered how this student named Chen Jianxun had offended his teacher and left such a deep impression on him.
"Okay, I'll ask when I get back."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know that he had planted another bomb for Chen Jianxun.
Not knowing who to look for, he soon came to a meeting room with an open door. Looking inside the door, he saw a banner hanging on it with a line of words on it: "The Pursuit of Happiness" Works Seminar.
This should be it!
Just as Cheng Xuyuan stepped in, a man carrying a tray walked out.
The two people almost collided with each other.
In just a moment, Cheng Xuyuan nimbly avoided the collision.
But just when he was about to say sorry, the woman opposite him had already said, "I'm sorry!"
Today is the second update. Please support me. If you have votes, please give me two tickets! (End of this chapter)
