Chapter 135: The First Formal Encounter
I’m sorry, this one is really familiar.
The familiar person is not Cheng Xuyuan, but the memory that the owner gave to Cheng Xuyuan.
He looked towards the person who was speaking, and saw Shen Yumo, who was holding a tray, with a look of panic on his face.
But her eyes on her delicate face widened a little.
She didn't expect that the person she almost bumped into just now was Cheng Xuyuan.
To be honest, Shen Yumo was not surprised to meet Cheng Xuyuan this time.
After all, this work seminar was held for him.
However, she felt somewhat surprised to meet Cheng Xuyuan under such circumstances.
Just when she was at a loss, she heard Zhang Dening say, "Yu Mo, tell him you're sorry."
"He's the one who should say sorry!"
"This seminar was held for him."
"We are just doing this out of obligation. Let alone running into him, even if we spill something on him, he can't say anything."
Looking at Zhang Dening who looked like he was asking, "What can you do to me?", Cheng Xuyuan smiled helplessly.
I quickly said, "Editor Zhang is right. I should be the one to say sorry."
When Zhang Dening heard Cheng Xuyuan say this, a smile appeared on his face.
He pointed at Shen Yumo and said, "Cheng Xuyuan, let me introduce you, this is Shen Yumo."
"She has been in charge of your affairs recently."
"More than half of your readers' letters were answered by her on your behalf."
"You, please thank our Yu Mo in the future."
At this point, she said to Shen Yumo: "Yumo, this is Cheng Xuyuan, also known as the famous teacher Xu Lingyun."
"You should keep in touch and get to know each other more often in the future."
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a moment while listening to Zhang Dening's introduction.
He knew that Shen Yumo should know that he was Xu Lingyun, but he never expected that Shen Yumo was actually his editor.
Although he communicated with Zhang Dening on many things.
But...but this incident still made him feel extremely surprised.
For a moment, Cheng Xuyuan was a little at a loss.
"Teacher Cheng, why are you staring at Yu Mo?"
"Let me tell you, although our Yu Mo is pretty, you can't keep staring at her. It's impolite."
Zhang Dening looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was staring at Shen Yumo blankly, and teased with a smile.
In Zhang Dening's eyes, the two people are of similar age.
And they are both talented and beautiful!
There is no need to mention Cheng Xuyuan's talent, and judging from his appearance alone, he doesn't seem to be annoying.
These two are quite a good match.
She had also thought about introducing the two of them before.
But for some strange reason, I never got to see him.
Now, the two finally met! And from the look of Cheng Xuyuan, it seemed that he was very concerned about Shen Yumo.
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet my editor in this situation."
"Hello Shen Yumo, I'm Cheng Xuyuan!"
Facing Cheng Xuyuan's outstretched hand, Shen Yumo also hesitated for a moment, then gently stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Cheng Xuyuan, I'm Shen Yumo."
"Nice to meet you."
When the two people's hands were finally held together, Zhang Dening felt that this scene, which should have been very harmonious, was actually a bit stiff.
Meeting such a rare young talent, shouldn't she be so happy that her eyes sparkle? However, looking at Shen Yumo's expression, why is she a little embarrassed? Without thinking too much, she said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xiao Cheng, the standard of this seminar is very high. I heard that Mr. Wan will come."
"When you speak later, be bolder and don't get so excited that you become speechless."
After hearing what Zhang Dening said, Cheng Xuyuan could only say, "Don't worry, Dening, I know what to do."
While the two were talking, Zou Yanlai hurried over. Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, her eyes lit up and she said, "Xiao Cheng, I was just saying let De Ning look for you!"
"Let's go, Mr. Wan wants to see you."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded at Zhang Dening, glanced at Shen Yumo, and followed Zou Yanlai towards a lounge not far away.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was leaving, Zhang Dening said, "Cheng Xuyuan is lucky this time."
"With the support of Mr. Wan, the standard of this seminar will be greatly improved."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't care much about the seminar. He followed Zou Yan into a spacious reception room and saw Mr. Wan and Meng Dezhi sitting on the checkered sofa.
Next to them, there were a few people talking.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming over, Meng Dezhi said directly: "Xiao Cheng, I'm not criticizing you."
"There's a seminar for your work, why didn't you come earlier and let Mr. Wan wait for you here."
This sentence attracted all eyes to Cheng Xuyuan.
Not only because this work seminar was held for him, but also because of what Meng Dezhi just said.
Apart from anything else, the fact that he could get Elder Wan to come in person to help shows how extraordinary Cheng Xuyuan is.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally understood what Meng Dezhi meant. Although he had some thoughts in his mind, he still thanked him at this time: "Thank you, Mr. Wan and everyone for coming. I am late this time, please forgive me."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was apologizing sincerely, Meng Dezhi wanted to say something, but Elder Wan smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng is late, so it is forgivable."
"He just reported to Yenching University."
"As a college student, he already has a lot of schoolwork to do, not to mention that he just started school."
After Mr. Wan finished speaking, Yu Shizhi, who was sitting next to him, said with emotion: "Dean, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Xiao Cheng was a college student."
"Tsk tsk, Xiao Cheng is so enviable!"
Elder Wan smiled and said, "Xuyuan, don't stand there, sit down and talk."
As he spoke, he introduced the people next to him: "These are all seniors. You should learn more from them in the future."
"This is Mr. Feng. You should have read his novels."
"This is Mr. Jiang. We have been friends for many years. His specialty is..."
"This is..."
Zou Yanlai stood aside, listening to Mr. Wan's gentle introduction, and felt a little more envious of Cheng Xuyuan.
Although this work seminar is endorsed by their magazine, there shouldn't be any problems.
However, there might be some twists and turns.
Now that Elder Wan came out directly to help Cheng Xuyuan introduce someone, he was actually telling everyone present that this person is my junior, and everyone must be lenient when criticizing him.
Under such circumstances, I'm afraid no one would be so ruthless.
After a few introductions, Meng Dezhi said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Xiao Cheng, a few days ago, I was at Dean Yu's place and told him about your play The Pursuit of Happiness being adapted into a play."
"You volunteered to prepare a script."
"How's the writing going?"
Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice: "I was a bit busy these days because of the start of school, so I didn't finish it until last night."
"I'm bringing it with me this time, and I'm going to give it to Dean Yu after the seminar is over."
When Elder Wan heard this, he smiled and said, "Bring it here and let me see it."
Cheng Xuyuan immediately took out a stack of manuscript paper from his yellow cloth bag and handed it to Mr. Wan.
After entering university, Cheng Xuyuan found that this yellow shoulder bag was really useful, so he bought one from a supply and marketing cooperative not far from the school.
You know what, it really is a lot more convenient to carry this bag.
Cheng Xuyuan even felt like throwing his watch in there.
Mr. Wan took the manuscript paper handed to him by Cheng Xuyuan and started flipping through it.
At first, Mr. Wan looked at it quickly, but gradually, his expression became serious.
This time, Wan asked Cheng Xuyuan to adapt his work into a drama. He wanted to test Cheng Xuyuan and see how much talent he had in this area.
But after Cheng Xuyuan wrote the three-act play, he felt different.
It not only accurately expresses the traces of time, but also the desire for happiness. Some of the monologue lines made Mr. Wan's eyes light up.
"There will be bread, and there will be everything!"
"I know you can't bear to leave the children in your primary school, your fellow villagers, Guo Zi, Uncle Dong, and you can't bear to leave it either..."
Gently closing the script, Wan handed it to Yu Shizhi beside him and said with a smile: "Old Yu, this script is well written. I think it can be used after a few adjustments."
"Take a look."
Yu Shizhi was stunned for a moment. He knew very well that although the old dean was usually easy-going, he was very strict and even a little picky about scripts.
If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, you’ll have to wait.
Now that he gave such a direct evaluation, it shows that Cheng Xuyuan's script is very good.
Dean Du Yu assigned the task of adapting this kind of thing to Cheng Xuyuan, and he also thought it was a way to train this promising young man.
Although Cheng Xuyuan is the author of the original work, the script and the novel are two different fields.
Many novel authors may not be able to adapt their works into suitable scripts.
As he took the script, he said, "Dean, since you said so, I'll take a good look at it."
As he spoke, he picked up the script and started flipping through it.
It read: "Scene 1, in the alley of Donghai..."
Elder Wan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said to Cheng Xuyuan, "I saw your work at the last art performance, and I said I hope you can come to my place to chat more often."
"Now, I still say the same thing. When you have nothing to do, go and chat with me more often. We can exchange more views."
Hearing what Mr. Wan said, Meng Dezhi quickly winked at Cheng Xuyuan, and the meaning was obvious.
Cheng Xuyuan is also a smart man. The moment Meng Dezhi looked at him, he immediately understood what Meng Dezhi meant.
Cheng Xuyuan quickly picked up the teacup that Elder Wan had used, refilled it with tea, and said with a smile, "Teacher, please have some tea."
Cheng Xuyuan's movements were relaxed and casual. He seemed to be pouring tea, but in fact he was expressing his true inner thoughts.
Elder Wan looked at the tea that Cheng Xuyuan handed over, smiled and said, "You are really good at taking advantage of loopholes!"
However, even though he said this, he still picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the reception room became more harmonious.
Just at this time, Zhang Dening came over and said a few words to Zou Yan, who hurriedly said, "Mr. Wan, everyone, it's almost time, let's go to the meeting room."
Hearing Zou Yanlai's words, Elder Wan immediately stood up and said, "Let's go to the meeting room."
Cheng Xuyuan followed Mr. Wan and walked towards the meeting room not far from the lounge. There were already several people waiting in the meeting room.
Among these people, some turned their eyes on Cheng Xuyuan the moment he came in.
