Chapter 280 He is attending the class, I feel pressured
If Cheng Xuyuan was in high spirits at this welcoming party, then Shen Yunliang came back feeling very angry.
Although that stupid guy Lao Feng seemed to realize something in the end and stopped saying those irritating words to him, he was still filled with anger and couldn't vent it.
He even felt that the look in Old Feng's eyes when he looked at him was one of regret and sympathy.
He's not your son-in-law, why should you feel sorry for me?
And, do you know what happened? You are just scratching an itch with six fingers, which is unnecessary...
Thinking this in his mind, Shen Yunliang's mood could no longer be cheered up. As soon as the banquet was over, he hurried home as if escaping.
The house was quite lively. Not only were Chaoyun and Chaoxia there, but even the eldest daughter-in-law, who rarely showed up, was here.
Looking at Li Yufei and Shen Yumo teasing their two little granddaughters, Shen Yunliang's mood gradually relaxed a lot.
"Dad, I heard that the level of this banquet is quite high." Shen Yushu asked casually with a smile while pouring him a cup of tea.
Seeing his son's smug look, Shen Yunliang frowned subconsciously.
Shen Yushu is in charge of preparing the new department, and his position is becoming more and more important. Shen Yunliang feels that his son's level has remained the same, but he is obviously arrogant.
At this moment, he wanted to ask his son, do you remember how you got this position? "It's quite high." Shen Yunliang took a deep breath, tried to relax himself, and then said four or five names in a row.
Each of these people is highly respected.
Shen Yushu wanted to say something when he saw Shen Yulin and Ma Xiaoli pushing the door and walking in, talking and laughing.
"Dad, you don't know that the color TV that Uncle Li brought from Hong Kong is not only big, but the picture is also very clear."
"The TV has bright colors, much better than the color TVs sold at Friendship Stores."
"I heard the price is one thousand yuan cheaper than at the Friendship Store!"
Shen Yunliang and Mr. Li lived in the same building. In that era when anyone buying a tape recorder would attract neighbors to come and see what was going on, it was definitely big news when Mr. Li brought back a color TV from Hong Kong.
Shen Yulin and Ma Xiaoli both loved to join in the fun, so they ran over to take a look.
Shen Yunliang couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his second son's envious look.
Although his second son satisfied him in other aspects, he had no ambition!
All I want is to have fun.
He snorted and said nothing, while Shen Yushu asked with great interest: "Yulin, is it really that cheap?"
"If that's the case, next time we go to Hong Kong, our dad will also try to get a spot."
Ma Xiaoli said: "Brother, it's not enough to just fight for a quota, you also need Hong Kong dollars."
"I heard that this time, Mr. Li didn't bring enough Hong Kong dollars."
"There was someone in their exchange group who had a lot of Hong Kong dollars. He lent Mr. Li more than a thousand Hong Kong dollars, and that's how he bought this big color TV."
After hearing what Ma Xiaoli said, Shen Yunliang felt even worse.
Although Ma Xiaoli and others didn't know who this person was, he knew!
After all, after this welcoming banquet, he already knew most of the information about the exchange group.
So he turned around and walked towards his room.
And Shen Yushu said: "Dad, you went to attend the banquet to welcome the exchange group. Who is so rich that he can lend me one thousand Hong Kong dollars?"
Listening to his son's words, Shen Yunliang, who felt increasingly uncomfortable, said indifferently, "It's Cheng Xuyuan."
"His Ming Dynasty Stories and another book were serialized in Hong Kong newspapers, and he was given an advance of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for the manuscript."
"Got it? Anything else you want to ask?"
After saying this, Shen Yunliang went back to his room without looking back.
The living room, which had been full of joy, immediately became quiet.
Many eyes were looking towards Shen Yushu.
You are obviously asking for trouble. For a person like Dad who cares about his reputation, you are asking about Cheng Xuyuan. Isn't it like stabbing Dad in the heart with a knife? When Shen Yushu heard his father's answer, he realized that he had said the wrong thing!
But he couldn't explain it either. The more he tried to explain, the more unclear it became.
However, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Yumo. Looking at the indifferent Shen Yumo, he inexplicably felt a little more emotional in his heart.
If the two of them can continue to be together, then...
But this kind of thing can only be thought about.
It seems that Cheng Xuyuan already has a partner, so the possibility of getting him back is really too small.
When his elder brother looked at him, Shen Yumo's eyes met his brother's gaze.
However, she still pretended not to see it. Now, she has become completely accustomed to this man's brilliance.
Moreover, she was genuinely happy for this person's outstanding performance.
Of course, she also understood in her heart that some things, once missed, could never be undone.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know that he had once again affected the Shen family.
He attended the welcoming banquet and stayed at the Overseas Chinese Apartment at night.
Because it is already autumn, even though there is no air conditioning, the north-south layout still makes the room full of coolness.
After breakfast the next day, Cheng Xuyuan rode his bike to Muxidi as he had no classes in the morning.
He did not come here empty-handed this time, but with a portable ultra-thin radio purchased in Hong Kong.
This ultra-thin radio is only the size of two boxes of cigarettes and is a very suitable carry-on item for older people.
After knocking on the door of Muxidi, Cheng Xuyuan greeted his senior sister Wan Fang who opened the door, and was then welcomed into Mr. Wan's living room.
Cheng Xuyuan is already familiar with this place.
Mr. Wan was sitting on a recliner reading a book. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan coming over, he put down the book in his hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, you're going to Hong Kong this time and you're showing off!"
"Recite the history of the Ming Dynasty backwards. This is the first time I know you have the ability to do this."
Cheng Xuyuan was not surprised that Mr. Wan knew that he had memorized the History of Ming Dynasty.
He smiled and said, "Teacher, I was forced into no choice at the time."
"Although I wrote "Those Things About the Ming Dynasty", I don't think I would necessarily win the debate with that history professor from Hong Kong University."
"After all, the records in history books are not necessarily correct. Everyone has some truth in what they say."
"But I didn't want him to step on me to become famous, so I took the opportunity when he mocked me for not having read the history of Ming Dynasty and simply taught him to recite a few passages."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked innocent, Elder Wan said with a smile: "You little bastard, it doesn't matter if you recite these few paragraphs, but you ruined the reputation of others by beating them up!"
"But you're right. In this situation, we can't look ahead or behind."
At this point, Elder Wan continued, "Do you really have the ability to remember everything you see?"
Hearing this question, even Wan Fang, who was busy pouring water for Cheng Xuyuan, looked at Cheng Xuyuan with curiosity.
After all, the ability to remember everything at a glance is extremely rare.
She really wanted to meet someone who had a photographic memory.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Teacher, my memory has always been good, but I don't have the ability to remember everything I see."
"I like Ming History because I have read it many times, so I can memorize it, just like the old oil seller. It's nothing special, but I just got used to it, hehe!"
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan being so modest, Elder Wan smiled and said, "Having read it so many times, you can clearly tell which page has a few words. This is a very impressive skill."
"But a good memory is just a talent. If you want to go further, you still need to study hard and practice more."
"You are studying at Yenching University now. This is a very good opportunity."
"It will be good for you to ask your teachers and professors for advice."
During the conversation, Mr. Wan took the ultra-thin radio brought by Cheng Xuyuan, turned it on and listened. The clear sound made Mr. Wan very satisfied.
After praising Cheng Xuyuan, Elder Wan said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xiao Cheng, even if you don't come this time, I will ask Lao Lan and the others to call you over."
"My old friend, Mr. Miller, will come to our place next month."
"He wants to bring a play over from us. I have already written to him about your adaptation direction of combining The Pursuit of Happyness and Death of a Salesman."
“He was very interested in this.”
"You should finish this script as soon as possible. If he likes your adaptation, this will be a rare opportunity."
Cheng Xuyuan has not put too much energy into the drama these days.
Although he discussed his ideas with Mr. Wan, he did not elaborate on the idea because he had written too much.
But now, Mr. Wan said that Mr. Miller was coming, and Cheng Xuyuan immediately took it seriously.
After all, the two sides are now strengthening exchanges, and if their adaptations can be introduced over there, both fame and profit will be significant.
"Teacher, I will write it when I get back, and I will be able to finish it next week."
This is not Cheng Xuyuan bragging. After all, his fusion of "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Death of a Salesman" is actually the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" in his memory.
So Cheng Xuyuan is absolutely sure about this.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was full of confidence, Mr. Wan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your manuscript."
"But don't set too many time limits for yourself. Writing requires careful polishing."
After discussing his ideas with Mr. Wan, Cheng Xuyuan had a meal at Mr. Wan's home. After the meal, they chatted for another half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
While pedaling his bicycle, Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about the plot of "The Pursuit of Happyness" in his mind, and before he knew it, he arrived at Yenching University.
After parking his bicycle, Cheng Xuyuan walked towards the classroom.
However, when he walked into the classroom and hadn't yet sat down, he saw Zhu Guangqian walk in.
Although Zhu Guangqian did not teach Tu Xuyuan and his classmates, the students still respected this old professor very much.
"Professor Zhu!" Cheng Xuyuan greeted Zhu Guangqian quickly when he saw him.
Zhu Guangqian had no time to exchange pleasantries with Cheng Xuyuan, so he said directly, "I heard that Mr. Cha gave you a set of his complete novels when you went for the exchange this time?"
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Where is the book?" A hint of excitement suddenly appeared on Zhu Guangqian's face.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I'm at home, what's wrong?"
"Lend it to me for a few days." Zhu Guangqian took Cheng Xuyuan's hand and said, "Let's go get it now."
"I have to go to class soon, so I'll bring you a set tomorrow!" Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the time and responded with a smile.
Zhu Guangqian looked at the lecturer who had come to class and said in a deep voice, "I'll take Cheng Xuyuan out to do something."
"You can take him with you. He can even recite the History of Ming Dynasty backwards. It doesn't matter whether he listens to my lectures or not." The lecturer in his thirties smiled and spread his hands, saying self-deprecatingly, "What's more, if he sits here and listens to the lecture, even if he doesn't say a word, I will feel pressured when I give the lecture on the stage!"
