Chapter 197 It was not a pleasant meeting
"This Cheng Xuyuan is such a bastard!" After Meng Dezhi left after eating and drinking, Fang Gengsheng could not help but slam the table.
It's no wonder Fang Gengsheng feels bad. He has a daughter, and it's one thing that made her find a divorced man, but the key point is that this man can't get a divorce.
What is this?
And the reason why my brother-in-law came to talk to me so seriously was not just his own idea, but also the ideas of other people.
That is, this is not a decision made by one person.
The thought of this gave him a toothache.
"Okay, stop banging the table. If you had any objections at that time, why didn't you tell him?" Meng Fanjin walked out and said in a deep voice.
Looking at Meng Fanjin who looked calm, Fang Gengsheng said, "You are not angry at all about this matter."
"How can I not be angry, but can being angry solve the problem?"
Meng Fanjin said this, glanced at Fang Gengsheng and said, "You can't solve the problem by getting angry."
Fang Gengsheng took a deep breath and said, "How about we find a way to separate the two of them?"
"I have a friend in Donghai. How about asking him to help Yuqing transfer to another school?"
Meng Fanjin glared at him and said, "What a stupid idea! How can you transfer schools like this?"
"Transfer your daughter from Yenching University to Donghai? You're so smart!"
"Also, even if you are willing, what if your daughter doesn't want to?"
Fang Gengsheng said: "My daughter doesn't want this trouble, you solve it."
"You should do more to persuade her. Once the distance between the two of them is widened, she and Cheng Xuyuan will naturally break up over time."
Looking at Fang Gengsheng who looked determined, Meng Fanjin said calmly: "If you want to do this ideological work, you should do it yourself."
"Don't you understand your daughter's temper? I'm afraid you'll end up making things worse. This will have the opposite effect."
"Besides, Xiao Cheng is a very good person."
"Let's not talk about him as a person, let's just talk about what big brother said. He and Shen Yumo just got a marriage certificate, but in fact, nothing happened between the two of them."
"It's a bit of a stretch to say that this is a second marriage!"
Hearing this, Fang Gengsheng stiffened his neck and said, "If other girls don't like someone, does our girl have to like him?"
At this point, he angrily said: "Is our daughter worse than other people's daughters?"
Meng Fanjin shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Since you have determined this truth, then you can tell your daughter yourself."
"By the way, you said you wanted Cheng Xuyuan to come to your house for dinner, but I think you shouldn't eat now."
Fang Gengsheng slapped his head and remembered that he had told his wife some time ago that he would invite Cheng Xuyuan to dinner this week.
How can I invite him? But if I don’t invite him, how can I let Cheng Xuyuan answer the questions in my mind?
For a moment, Fang Gengsheng was in a dilemma.
Cheng Xuyuan would naturally not hide the fact that he had written a divorce letter from Fang Yuqing, but Teacher Ding asked him to wait, and there was still no news after two days.
On this day, Cheng Xuyuan was going to see Teacher Ding, but Qin Wenhui came to the school instead.
When he saw Qin Wenhui, Cheng Xuyuan immediately thought of the agreement between the two of them.
Qin Wenhui said that their company's manager wanted to see him about something, and he agreed.
"Brother, I'm going to ride a bike." Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice after greeting Qin Wenhui.
Qin Wenhui waved his hand and said, "Xuyuan, you should leave your bike there. I drove here, so you can just take a bus there."
In that era, being able to drive was a very prestigious thing.
In general units, whenever people go out to eat, the driver will sit at the table.
Qin Wenhui's attitude towards Cheng Xuyuan has changed from his usual coldness and he seems very easy-going.
Not only because he came specifically to invite Cheng Xuyuan this time, but also because of the report in the daily newspaper.
He knew very well that once this report appeared, the benefits to Cheng Xuyuan would be self-evident.
Cheng Xuyuan is already a famous author, and I'm afraid he will become even more famous in the future.
Since there was a car to ride, Cheng Xuyuan was too lazy to ride his own bicycle.
The car Qin Wenhui was driving was the black sedan, whose name Cheng Xuyuan couldn't remember, but it was produced by Big Brother back then.
Qin Wenhui opened the car door with the key and was just about to greet Cheng Xuyuan when he saw Cheng Xuyuan casually open the car door and then naturally sat in the passenger seat.
The reason why I sat in the passenger seat was entirely out of respect for Qin Wenhui.
After all, he is Fang Yuqing's brother-in-law, and I can't treat him as a driver.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was sitting there leisurely and calmly, Qin Wenhui couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever ridden in this car?"
The word "sitting there" was almost spoken by Cheng Xuyuan.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and said calmly, "I rode in a jeep some time ago. Is this car any different?"
"How can a jeep compare to my car? It's a high-end sedan."
"Let me tell you, in Yanjing, very few people can get a seat like this."
Looking at Qin Wenhui who was a bit cocky, Cheng Xuyuan really wanted to give his brother-in-law a blow, after all, the car was not his.
He's just a driver, nothing more.
But Cheng Xuyuan didn't say it in the end. This kind of emotional dispute was really unnecessary.
Qin Wenhui drove the car very steadily, and in just over twenty minutes, he pulled Cheng Xuyuan into a large courtyard.
"Xuyuan, this is the headquarters of our company. If you want to see me in the future, just come here." Qin Wenhui said with a smile as he led Cheng Xuyuan upstairs.
Arriving on the third floor, Qin Wenhui, who had been somewhat frivolous, suddenly became serious.
He knocked on the door twice gently, and when he heard someone coming in, he pushed the door open and went in. After just half a minute, he said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Xuyuan, let's go to the reception room first."
The reception room is right next to Qin Wenhui's office. Although it is only about 20 square meters, it is decorated cleanly and elegantly.
It is much better than the office of Yenching Literature and Art.
"Xuyuan, drink some water first. Our manager Wang will be here soon." As Qin Wenhui spoke, he picked up the teapot and prepared to pour water for Cheng Xuyuan.
But when he was about to take the tea leaves, he suddenly asked, "Xuyuan, have you ever had coffee?"
Coffee, Cheng Xuyuan really can't get used to this thing.
So he smiled and said, "I haven't had it, but I don't want to try it either. Brother Wenhui, please give me a cup of tea."
When Qin Wenhui heard that Cheng Xuyuan still wanted tea, he felt contemptuous.
This Xiao Cheng, after all, is from a small place. At the critical moment, he can't even show up...
Although all kinds of thoughts were surging in his mind, Qin Wenhui still poured a cup of tea for Cheng Xuyuan.
Just then, the door of the reception room was pushed open and two people walked in.
One of them had a serious expression and was dressed simply; the other was a middle-aged man in his forties, who not only had well-groomed hair but was also wearing a suit.
This was the first time Cheng Xuyuan saw someone wearing a suit since coming to this world.
"Manager Wang, this is Xu Lingyun, the author of 'The Pursuit of Happyness'." Qin Wenhui hurriedly introduced him to the serious-looking man.
Manager Wang smiled and said, "Xu Lingyun is indeed a young and promising man."
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Lin, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong Jinwanbao." Manager Wang said to this point, and then turned to Mr. Lin and said, "Mr. Lin, this is Xu Lingyun."
Mr. Lin was surprised at Cheng Xuyuan's youth. He smiled and said, "Xu Lingyun, I didn't expect you to be so young."
"I watched your play The Pursuit of Happyness yesterday. It was very good."
Cheng Xuyuan said politely: "Mr. Lin, you are too kind. My "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" still has many shortcomings."
"Mr. Lin and Manager Wang, please give us your advice."
After a few pleasantries, Manager Wang said, "This time Mr. Lin came here to compile a batch of manuscripts to be published in their newspaper."
“I recommended The Pursuit of Happyness to him.”
"Mr. Lin read it and praised your work, Xu Lingyun, and wanted to introduce it to his newspaper for publication. What do you think, Xuyuan?"
Cheng Xuyuan is naturally willing to publish his works on more platforms. After all, this also means more royalties.
He smiled and said, "Thank you Manager Wang for the recommendation. It's my honor."
"But how should the royalties be calculated?"
Manager Wang was stunned for a moment. He was not very familiar with this aspect, so he didn't think about the royalties at all.
His eyes turned to Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin was not surprised by this. After all, as a newspaper editor, he and the authors often discussed the royalties.
"Mr. Xu, we have regulations regarding royalties."
"Because this is not the first time your work has been published, we can give you three yuan per thousand words."
Hearing this standard, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
Three yuan per thousand words is really low, and this three yuan is money from Hong Kong.
"The Pursuit of Happiness" has more than 20,000 words, which means that Cheng Xuyuan can get more than 60 yuan.
This is really not much.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan frowning, Mr. Lin didn't say anything else. Judging from his appearance, that was it.
Now that he has a savings of 1,000 yuan in his pocket, Cheng Xuyuan doesn't care much about these tens of dollars.
So he felt a little uncomfortable, so he just smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I'll go back and think about it."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan looked at Manager Wang and said, "Manager Wang, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"There are still classes in school!"
Manager Wang felt helpless as he looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was about to leave.
He glanced at Mr. Lin, and finally said with a smile: "Xu Lingyun, then you go and do your work first, we will contact each other later."
As he spoke, he nodded towards Qin Wenhui.
Qin Wenhui didn't expect that the conversation seemed to be over in just a few minutes.
And the conversation wasn't very effective.
He also wanted to persuade Cheng Xuyuan, but seeing Cheng Xuyuan walking out, he could only follow him out.
Manager Wang waited until Cheng Xu left before saying to Mr. Lin, "Mr. Lin, young people are a bit arrogant. I will talk to him later..."
Before Manager Wang finished speaking, Mr. Lin waved his hand and said, "Manager Wang, let's talk about this later."
"I was in the hotel yesterday and read a strange book."
As he spoke, he took out a magazine titled "Using History as a Mirror" and said, "There is a serialized article in it called "Things about the Ming Dynasty."
"I think it's very good. Manager Wang, please help me find the author. I plan to visit him in person and introduce his article to our newspaper for serialization."
"I think if his article can be serialized for a long time, it will definitely greatly increase the sales of our newspaper."
