Chapter 19 I rely on my ability to make a living
Although he had guessed it in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan still felt a sense of emotion when he heard these words from Niu Changqing.
My father-in-law is so proactive! What we just decided at dinner yesterday was implemented today.
Cheng Xuyuan did not refuse this housing.
I'm making a living by my own ability, why should I refuse?
"Director Niu, Director Peng, I...I will always remember the concern you two have for me and will never forget it." Although he knew very well that this matter was done with the help of his father-in-law.
But words of gratitude don't require money. Cheng Xuyuan, who had already made up his mind to become a little more evil in his previous life, did not hesitate to throw these words at Niu Changqing and Peng Xueli.
Niu Changqing and Peng Xueli looked at each other, and the smiles in their eyes became even more intense.
Especially Peng Xueli, he knows the most about this matter.
I already knew about the house before Cheng Xuyuan came here.
He knew more clearly who had contributed the most here, but even in such a situation, the other person could still say these words with great gratitude. He couldn't help but look up to Cheng Xuyuan.
This is a young man who is both smart and emotionally intelligent.
It won't do you any harm to socialize more.
Niu Changqing said seriously: "Xiao Cheng, it is our responsibility as the two curators to solve your housing problem."
"Haha, it would be awkward to say thank you."
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Director Niu, it is your responsibility to care about the lives of our employees, but being able to help me solve the housing problem so efficiently is a special care you two directors have for me."
"I won't say any more words of gratitude. When I move to my new home and warm up the pot, I'll toast you two with a few glasses."
"When the time comes, you must have fun with the people no matter what you say. Don't refuse!"
The smile on Peng Xueli's face became more friendly. He felt that Cheng Xuyuan's words sounded so pleasant to his ears and he felt very happy about it.
This young man is really good! Originally, according to Peng Xueli's estimation, this conversation would only take four or five minutes to finish, but the three of them kept talking for more than 20 minutes before Cheng Xuyuan left with a housing application form.
Niu Changqing waited for Cheng Xuyuan to leave before he said with emotion: "Little Cheng is not bad!"
Peng Xueli nodded and said, "He is neither arrogant nor impatient. He is a good seedling."
Cheng Xuyuan took the watch and did not return to the office, but went to his residence.
It’s better not to show off something as good as applying for housing.
After all, I just arrived. If I apply for housing all at once, I don’t know how many people will be jealous. It is better to fill out the form low-key, and then move in low-key after the houses are allocated.
This also saves some variables.
After filling out the form with a fountain pen, Cheng Xuyuan made a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.
From today on, I will join the ranks of homeowners, and homeowners in Yanjing. This feeling...
I want to reward myself today, how about a chicken drumstick?
You can order stewed chicken in the cafeteria, but it costs more than two yuan per piece. Cheng Xuyuan frowned as he touched his thin wallet.
There is still seventy-four dollars and twenty-eight cents left in my wallet now!
In later generations, this is just the money for a meal.
But at this time, it is still a considerable amount of money.
But the money is getting less and less, and I feel a little anxious! Meng Dezhi took the manuscript away, and now he hasn't said where the publication is going, so naturally he hasn't said anything about the royalties.
As for Yanjing Literature and Art, there is no news either.
I don’t know when I’ll get my royalties!
As for the salary payment time, it is on time, on the 15th of next month, which is almost a month away! Otherwise, write another one? After all, casting a wide net will catch fish as soon as possible.
What to write next?
Sitting at his desk, Cheng Xuyuan began to think about the works he had seen in his previous life.
Otherwise, just write about desire!
Since TV dramas in later generations have attracted so much attention, if we could excerpt some of them, we should be able to publish them.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of water, Cheng Xuyuan quietly thought about how to adjust the subsequent plot. Of course, the most important thing here is to adjust the development of the protagonist...
After planning a perfect story, Cheng Xuyuan did not start writing immediately.
He still needs some time to think it over.
Feeling a little tired, Cheng Xuyuan picked up the completed housing application form and went to Niu Changqing's office again.
This time, Niu Changqing was drinking tea alone.
Seeing the form handed over by Cheng Xuyuan, Niu Changqing said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, your handwriting is very good."
"I feel like there aren't many people in our cultural center who write better than you!"
Cheng Xuyuan said modestly: "Director, you are flattering me too much!"
"I have seen your calligraphy. If we were to say who has the best calligraphy in our cultural center, it would have to be you."
"I will have to ask you for more advice in the future!"
Niu Changqing smiled complacently, he didn't have any hobbies except writing and drawing. Although his handwriting was average, he liked others to praise his good handwriting the most.
"Then let's learn from each other more in the future." Niu Changqing said with a smile: "Your calligraphy is unique in structure, really good!"
After discussing calligraphy with Niu Changqing for a while, Cheng Xuyuan said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, Niu Changqing smiled and said, "Young man, get ready to move. I estimate that it should be approved in less than four or five days."
Being able to live in your own house in just four or five days is certainly something worth celebrating.
Cheng Xuyuan returned to the writing group's office with a hint of excitement. He didn't want to show off, but to show up so as to avoid being accused of slacking off for a long time.
As soon as Cheng Xuyuan opened the thick curtain of the office, he felt a cloud of smoke in front of his eyes.
If it weren't for the vague figures in the smoke, Cheng Xuyuan almost thought there was a fire.
“Cough cough cough!”
Shi Xuehong coughed and used the magazine in her hand to fan away the smoke in front of her eyes, but there was too much smoke and her action was basically in vain.
Looking at his colleagues smoking, Cheng Xuyuan quickly came to Shi Xuehong and asked, "What's going on?"
There was also half a piece of wasted manuscript paper next to Shi Xuehong's hand.
She glanced at Ma Boyuan and others who were smoking, and whispered, "Isn't it almost New Year's Day? The city is going to hold a cultural performance."
"The skit that our cultural center submitted was taken down because it was said to be not very entertaining."
"Director Niu has issued an order requiring our writing team to write a highly entertaining skit within two days."
"Lao Qin called all the people who were collecting folk songs over and asked them to work overtime to write."
“When you finish writing, you can leave work.”
Listening to Shi Xuehong's words, Cheng Xuyuan felt that it had little to do with him.
He smiled and said, "What about the two of us?"
"It's the same for both of us. Think about it, if your colleagues don't leave work, how can you feel comfortable leaving get off work?"
Cheng Xuyuan returned to his seat quietly. Chatting and talking about everything when everyone was overwhelmed by the tasks would only make him feel boring.
We all have deep hatred and deep suffering, so we have to stand on the same front with everyone.
Otherwise, it will arouse public anger!
Picking up the pen and casually writing a few words on the manuscript paper, Cheng Xuyuan's mind fell on Shi Xuehong's words just now.
A short play that is entertaining to watch, isn’t this a skit?
It’s not easy to write two sketches by yourself.
But why should I write? I am just a slacker.
"Lao Ma, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just too bitter and resentful. It's the New Year, we need to make everyone happy! We need to liven up the atmosphere!"
Qin Yewei's voice was filled with annoyance: "Use your brain, the curator said that whoever's short play is selected will be rewarded with a bicycle coupon!"
