Chapter 355 Those Named to Participate
Cheng Xuyuan was really tempted to be an intern editor.
After all, this way, not only can he get a salary for free, but he can also get familiar with the editorial department.
Although he does not plan to work too seriously after graduation, nowadays, if you don’t have a job after graduation, others will look at you with prejudice.
So in the short term, Cheng Xuyuan still plans to find himself a less busy job.
Of course, the ideal situation is to be a full-time writer.
You don’t have to be bound by work and you can get paid on time.
Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan was a little moved, Liu Xinwu smiled and said, "Okay, then you think about it for two days and give me an answer before Sunday."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, that's settled then."
After the two chatted, Liu Xinwu said goodbye and left.
After watching his good friend leave, Cheng Xuyuan put the watch box on his desk and began to think about Liu Xinwu's proposal.
This suggestion sounds good, but are there any other requirements?
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about it, he heard someone shouting, "Xuyuan, phone call."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan quickly came to the large office next door.
After smiling at several history teachers who were reading, Cheng Xuyuan answered the phone.
The moment the call was connected, a mellow voice came from the inside: "Xuyuan, this is Zhang Guangnian, what are you busy with now?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan immediately understood who it was.
Although Cheng Xuyuan had little contact with this big shot of the Literary Association, he admired him very much.
Why is he calling now?
I didn't have much contact with him.
Although he was full of doubts, Cheng Xuyuan still smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
Zhang Guangnian smiled and said, "Why, can't you show some concern for the young people?"
"Of course you can!" Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "I have always been looking forward to your concern. I am a little flattered now!"
Zhang Guangnian said: "From what you said, it seems that I don't care about you enough!"
The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Guangnian said, "Xuyuan, our Cultural Association is going to send a group to southern Xinjiang to interview and study. I think you should go there."
"As a representative of young writers, and having written so many spy novels, I believe you can also show your strengths this time."
Listening to Zhang Guangnian's proposal, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you let me think about it?"
"After all, I still have studies to do here."
As soon as Cheng Xuyuan said this, Zhang Guangnian smiled and said, "Xuyuan, don't worry about this. I have already communicated with your school about the study matters in advance."
"Your school also strongly supports your visit this time."
"Your Academic Affairs Office will not treat it as a leave of absence, but will count it as an internship."
My goodness! Now, even his last way of retreat is blocked.
Cheng Xuyuan certainly knew what had happened in southern Xinjiang. Although the main operations had come to an end, sporadic incidents still existed.
But Cheng Xuyuan was also very excited to go there and take a look.
He groaned and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your consideration. I will accept this mission."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's cheerful agreement, Zhang Guangnian was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll have someone contact you later. Your group will depart by train the day after tomorrow."
"Xuyuan, I believe you can come up with something that will impress everyone."
Cheng Xuyuan thanked Zhang Guangnian twice and hung up the phone.
"Xuyuan, was it Mr. Zhang who called you just now?" asked a teacher who was reading a book.
Cheng Xuyuan has always been very respectful to the teachers present.
When he heard this question, he said honestly, "It was Mr. Zhang who called."
"Xuyuan, you have a bright future ahead of you, as you have Mr. Zhang calling you personally." The teacher asked, "What does Mr. Zhang want to talk to you about?"
There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Cheng Xuyuan said, "Mr. Zhang said that the Cultural Association is planning to organize a study tour group to go to southern Xinjiang. Since I'm young, they included me in the group."
Hearing this, the teacher pondered for a moment and said, "Xuyuan, this is a good thing."
"But you also have to pay attention to your own safety."
"After all, that place isn't too..."
Cheng Xuyuan understood what the teacher meant, and he said gratefully, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Cheng Xuyuan was just about to return to his office when the phone rang again.
A teacher picked up the phone and said something, then turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, I'm still looking for you."
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the phone and heard Meng Dezhi's voice.
"Xuyuan, did you receive Mr. Zhang's call?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, it seems that I can't hide anything from you. I just put down the phone."
Meng Dezhi said: "Mr. Zhang called me before he called you. Naturally, he couldn't hide this from me."
"How is it? Do you accept Mr. Zhang's arrangement?"
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I also wanted to go and take a look, so I accepted Mr. Zhang's arrangement."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan accept it, Meng Dezhi laughed and said, "It's right that you accept it!"
"Let me tell you, everyone from top to bottom takes this matter very seriously. They asked you to go because they nominated you. They hope that you can write something inspiring when you go."
"Xuyuan, this opportunity is rare, you must prepare well."
"By the way, if you have nothing to do tonight, come to my house and I'll ask your aunt to cook you a delicious meal."
Cheng Xuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, how about contacting Yuqing's mother and we meet in Shijingshan?"
"This way, I don't have to run back and forth."
Listening to Cheng Xuyuan's suggestion, Meng Dezhi snorted and said, "You don't want to run between the two sides, so you have the nerve to ask me to run?"
"Okay, let's do as you say."
"I'll call Yuqing's house right now."
After hanging up the phone with Meng Dezhi, Cheng Xuyuan and several teachers said goodbye and left.
Originally, he was still thinking about Li Xuezhen's proposal, but now, his mind was completely filled with this study interview.
This trip will take at least a week, so many things need to be arranged in advance.
After estimating the end of get out of class time, Cheng Xuyuan arrived outside the Chinese Department classroom.
Fang Yuqing, holding a book in her hand, had just walked out of the classroom when she saw Cheng Xuyuan standing downstairs of the teaching building.
"Go quickly, your prince is waiting for you!" Jin Yuanying, who was standing beside him, said with a smile.
This remark immediately caused a burst of laughter.
The love between Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing has been accepted by a large number of students at this time. In the eyes of many students, this is a match made in heaven.
As the relationship between the two became more and more public, Fang Yuqing no longer showed any shyness. She patted Jin Yuanying on the shoulder and walked quickly towards Cheng Xuyuan.
"Didn't we agree to have lunch together at noon? Why did you come here early?" Fang Yuqing asked Cheng Xuyuan with a hint of concern.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "There is something I need to report to you."
Hearing this, Fang Yuqing smiled. Although she knew that Cheng Xuyuan was joking, she still felt warm in her heart after hearing these words.
"What's the matter? Why are you so serious?" Fang Yuqing asked with a smile as she walked side by side with Cheng Xuyuan.
"I just received a call from Mr. Zhang Guangnian. He invited me to join an interview and study group in southern Xinjiang, and I agreed." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
"Southern Xinjiang?" Fang Yuqing's eyes widened immediately: "Is it dangerous?"
"There shouldn't be any problem. We are mainly learning how to interview." Cheng Xuyuan said: "The purpose of this activity is to let everyone collect materials for creation through on-site experience."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Fang Yuqing felt much more relieved.
But she still held Cheng Xuyuan's arm and said, "When you go there, you must stay with the others and don't run around by yourself."
"Also, when you come back, be quick. Don't delay."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's instructions, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I'm just going out for a while, look how nervous I made you."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"By the way, my uncle just called me. He is very supportive of my participation in this event."
"Also, he asked us to go home in the evening."
Fang Yuqing said, "Okay, I was just about to ask my uncle where the destination of this event is."
"How about we... why don't we go to the park this afternoon instead of going to class?"
Cheng Xuyuan naturally would not refuse Fang Yuqing's sudden proposal. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to Beihai Park and go boating together."
Although Fang Yuqing had no objection to Cheng Xuyuan's long journey, she stayed by his side until dinner, as if she was afraid that Cheng Xuyuan would go far away if she left.
The two of them had dinner and took a stroll in Beihai Park. When it was getting dark, they returned to their home in Shijingshan.
At this time, not only Meng Fanjin and his wife were at home, but Meng Dezhi and Mo Yunqi were also there.
When the two people came in, Meng Dezhi was chatting with Fang Gengsheng.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, Meng Dezhi waved to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, come and sit down."
In the past, at times like this, Fang Yuqing would take the initiative to help her mother in the kitchen, but this time, she followed Cheng Xuyuan to Meng Dezhi.
Without waiting for Meng Dezhi to speak, he quickly asked, "Uncle, is Xuyuan in danger this time?"
"How can there be any danger? They are in the rear." Meng Dezhi said, "It's okay, don't worry."
After hearing what her uncle said, Fang Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Dezhi no longer paid attention to his niece, but solemnly said to Cheng Xuyuan: "I let you go this time because I hope you can write a batch of works that can inspire people."
"What do you think about creation now?"
Cheng Xuyuan actually already had an idea, but he was not ready to say it out loud at this moment. After all, he had only received the news for half a day. If he knew what to write at this time, it would be a bit too outrageous.
So he smiled and said, "Uncle, I haven't thought about it yet."
"I think I should interview more people before I start writing."
Unexpectedly, this answer made Meng Dezhi nod and say, "Xuyuan, that's right."
"A good work not only requires careful polishing in the later stage, but also the preparation in the early stage is equally important. There is an old saying that goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."
"So, this time you must read more and remember more, and try to write a good piece of work."
