Chapter 257 You are too jealous
The seminar was very successful, which was of course inseparable from the careful organization of the October editorial department.
However, this is also due to the quality of the work "Insidious".
If the work is not good enough, even if people want to praise it, they won’t find the place to do so.
An excellent work of art looks like a mountain range when viewed from the front and peaks when viewed from the side; it looks different from different distances and heights. No matter from which angle you analyze it, there are many noteworthy points!
In addition to the well-arranged meeting venue, the dining area is also of high quality.
As the protagonist of this seminar, Cheng Xuyuan's work is not over after the meeting. He must pour a few more glasses of wine on the table.
Except for some elderly gentlemen, most of the participants in the seminar will finish their meal before leaving.
After all, it would be inappropriate not to have a few drinks when old friends meet.
Whenever Shen Yunliang encountered such a thing in the past, he was willing to go with the flow.
But this time, he didn't want to stay any longer.
He was afraid that when others talked about Cheng Xuyuan, he would be speechless and very embarrassed.
So, I told a few old friends that I had something going on at home and walked out of the hotel.
After leaving the hotel, he felt a lot more relaxed.
After all, although the weather outside was hot, Cheng Xuyuan was not there to protect her.
However, just as he was about to leave, he saw someone walking towards him with a smile.
"Uncle Shen." Cheng Xuyuan greeted him gently.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yunliang was very reluctant, but he still smiled calmly and said, "It's Xuyuan, congratulations, this time it will take your career to a higher level!"
Looking at the smile on Shen Yunliang's face, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shen."
"I came here to wait for you this time. In addition to thanking you for attending this work seminar in person, I also want to talk about the house."
"I think housing will become increasingly tight for some time to come."
"Yumo might as well keep that house."
"After all, this is a guarantee for her future."
Looking at the sincere Cheng Xuyuan, Shen Yunliang actually felt a little guilty.
He felt that something was wrong with his mood when he faced Cheng Xuyuan.
No matter what, I have been through a lot in my life. What kind of scenes have I not seen? What kind of people have I not experienced?
Facing a junior like Cheng Xuyuan, one can remain completely calm.
For example, now, Cheng Xuyuan talked about this matter entirely from Shen Yumo's perspective, without any emotional outburst.
Why can't I stay calm? "Thank you, Xuyuan. I will think about this matter."
"By the way, come over to uncle's house and play when you have time. Like I said before, even though we can't be relatives, we are still friends at least."
Cheng Xuyuan watched Shen Yunliang leave and shook his head silently.
Although Shen Yunliang's words seemed watertight on the surface, Cheng Xuyuan knew in his heart that he and the Shen family could never go back to the way they were before!
When Cheng Xuyuan saw Shen Yunliang at the seminar, two little people were fighting in his heart. One said, just turn a blind eye; the other little person advised him: just go over and say hello to Shen Yunliang, what's the big deal?
Turning a blind eye is the simplest approach, but it is a bit too cold-blooded.
In order to save Shen Yunliang's face, Cheng Xuyuan deliberately waited for Shen Yunliang outside while seeing someone off, so as to leave some face for his former father-in-law.
Returning to the venue, Cheng Xuyuan greeted a few familiar people and came to the room where Mr. Wan was resting.
Mr. Wan was drinking tea at the moment. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan come in, he smiled and said, "Someone told me today that Cheng Xuyuan has been the center of attention in the literary world this year!"
Mr. Wan is not just saying this, it is the fact.
Apart from anything else, Cheng Xuyuan held two work seminars a year, and each one was of higher standard than the last.
In addition, the matter of exchanging copyright for housing in Overseas Chinese Apartments has become a hot topic.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Cheng Xuyuan is the most popular person in this year's literary world.
Facing Master Wan, Cheng Xuyuan said in fear: "Teacher, if you praise me highly, you will be criticized severely. I really don't want to be in the limelight."
"I originally wanted to buy a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment, but I didn't expect that Li Xuezhen would want to exchange it for the copyright of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". I..."
Elder Wan waved his hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, although it is not good for young people to show off, you still have to prove your strength."
"You must write your "Things about the Ming Dynasty" well. After all, it is to popularize our history and also to provide some people who don't know much about history with an additional channel to learn about history."
"I went to a meeting a few days ago, and many people praised you for this!"
“Do a good job!”
Seeing how serious Mr. Wan was, Cheng Xuyuan also understood the weight of his words and hurriedly said, "Thank you, teacher."
"Go ahead and do your work. I'll be back soon too."
"If I stay here, everyone will be constrained when eating. I might as well leave and untie everyone!"
At this point, Mr. Wan added: "I have also read your book Our College Entrance Examination, which is very well written. It is great that you can maintain your literary creation while writing Ming Dynasty Stories every day."
"But you also have to pay attention to your body."
“Don’t rely on your youth to work overtime and write blindly. It will be too late to regret it if you ruin your health!”
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Mr. Wan who seemed to care about him, and felt touched.
But he really wanted to tell the teacher that he was just a copyist and he didn’t feel tired at all when writing four thousand words a day!
"Teacher, don't worry, I promise not to stay up late." Cheng Xuyuan put his feet together and promised seriously.
After seeing off Mr. Wan, Cheng Xuyuan went to the dinner place with Liu Xinwu and others. Although he controlled his alcohol tolerance, Cheng Xuyuan still drank too much.
When he sobered up, he found himself sleeping on the bed in the hotel.
There was a glass of boiled water at the bedside.
Cheng Xuyuan felt his throat was a little smoking, so he gulped down the water in the cup and then got up from the bed.
After coming to this world, Cheng Xuyuan felt that his body had improved a lot, but he still felt uncomfortable if he drank too much.
After a simple wash and pouring himself a glass of water, Cheng Xuyuan felt a lot more relaxed.
Just when he was about to take a break and go home, he saw Liu Xinwu staggering in.
Judging from his appearance, he had drunk quite a bit.
"Xiao Cheng, you performed well today. Your fighting ability is still very strong. I estimate that you drank about 8 liang."
Liu Xinwu smiled and said, "Our editor-in-chief said that you might have to sleep until tomorrow morning. I don't think you can sleep that long."
"Young people are still in good health. They recovered so quickly."
"How about some more tonight?"
Facing the smiling Liu Xinwu, Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Old Liu, please forgive me!"
"At least for the next two or three days, I don't plan to drink."
"How's everyone else?"
Liu Xinwu smiled and said, "They are not the protagonists, they didn't drink that much, and most of them have already gone home."
"Do you know why everyone gave you so much wine this time?"
Cheng Xuyuan shook his head and said, "I really don't know about this."
"Because you are such an enviable guy. The copyright of a book for five years can be exchanged for a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment. Do you know that the rest of us have been living in a slum for most of our lives?"
Liu Xinwu said this with a chuckle, "It would be fine if I didn't have the chance normally, but now that I have this chance, I must let it out."
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a while, thinking that no wonder everyone was more enthusiastic about this work seminar than the last time.
Despite his repeated refusals, he still had to drink some of the wine.
Just when the two were chatting happily, they heard footsteps. Cheng Xuyuan looked towards the door and saw Fang Yuqing and Qin Wenhui walking towards them.
Fang Yuqing was in a hurry, with a hint of worry on her face.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly asked, "Yuqing, Brother Wenhui, why are you here?"
Fang Yuqing looked at Cheng Xuyuan carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard that you were drunk, so I asked my brother-in-law to bring me over to see you."
"You, please stop trying to be brave and drink so much!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I accidentally drank too much today, be careful next time!"
As he spoke, he turned to Qin Wenhui and said, "Brother, it's all because of me. I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip."
Qin Wenhui said: "What kind of talk is that? We are all family, there is no need to make trouble."
When Liu Xinwu saw Fang Yuqing coming, he said goodbye with a smile, and Qin Wenhui also very tactfully left with Liu Xinwu, leaving the space to Fang Yuqing and Cheng Xuyuan.
After Fang Yuqing and the other two left, she took out a bottle from her bag, poured some water into it, shook it, and then handed it to Cheng Xuyuan, saying, "Here, this is the honey my mother keeps at home. Every time my dad drinks too much, she makes some honey water for him."
"Try it, it will make your stomach feel better!"
Cheng Xuyuan felt warm in his heart as he watched Fang Yuqing handing him the honey water.
After drinking the honey water with the scent of locust flowers, he smiled and said, "The water is so sweet that it immediately sweetens my heart! I think it will be sweet for the rest of my life!"
As a student majoring in Chinese, how could Fang Yuqing not understand what Cheng Xuyuan meant.
She rolled her eyes at Cheng Xuyuan and happily poured him a glass of honey water.
After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's account of the seminar, Fang Yuqing snorted and said, "How dare so many people bully you."
"When they hold their seminar later, you must toast them a few more times."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely come over to pay my respects when the time comes."
The two exchanged sweet words for a while, and Qin Wenhui knocked on the door and walked in. He said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Xiao Cheng, how was your rest? I think it's getting dark outside, how about I take you home?"
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Wenhui."
Fang Yuqing was chatting enthusiastically with Cheng Xuyuan, and was a little unhappy to be interrupted by Qin Wenhui, but she could only swallow her anger.
Since he just slept in the hotel, Cheng Xuyuan didn't have anything to pack.
After getting in the black car, Qin Wenhui asked, "Xiao Cheng, where do you want to go back to? To the Nancheng District Literary Association's family compound, or to the Overseas Chinese Apartment?"
"I heard that the house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment has been given to you now."
Cheng Xuyuan said, "Let's go to the Wenxie Family Quarters. I plan to move to the Overseas Chinese Apartments tomorrow. After all, there's still a lot of things to pack up there!"
"Okay, I'll help you move tomorrow." Qin Wenhui said this, hesitated for a moment and said: "Xuyuan, there is one more thing I want to ask for your opinion."
This is the second update today, please support me.
