Chapter 378 The Dawn of Divorce
Mr. Wan knew that the person he saved was Shen Yumo, and Cheng Xuyuan was not surprised by this.
After all, this matter cannot be hidden from those who are interested.
What's more, Mr. Wan is his teacher.
Given his current position, basically nothing he wants to know can be hidden.
Now that the teacher asked about himself and Shen Yumo, Cheng Xuyuan did not hide anything.
He said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I think we still have to get divorced."
"I saved Shen Yumo purely because I couldn't just stand by and watch him die."
"But the two of us can only be friends."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was calm, Elder Wan sighed and said, "Xiao Cheng, you are very clear about the distinction between public and private matters."
"Now, as the number of divorces increases, some regulations are also being prepared to change, and the obstacles that stand in your way of divorce are slowly disappearing."
"Since you have decided to divorce, do it as soon as possible."
"I'll help you lobby for this matter later."
"It's not good to always put off some things."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher."
"In fact, you don't have to show up for this matter. As you said, as those obstacles disappear, everything will fall into place naturally."
Mr. Wan knew that what Cheng Xuyuan said was true.
If the current trend continues, Cheng Xuyuan's obstacles to divorce will become smaller and smaller.
Everything will slowly disappear.
He hesitated for a moment and did not respond to Cheng Xuyuan's words immediately. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Cheng, what did you gain from this interview?"
"I wrote a novel." Cheng Xuyuan didn't hesitate, after all, he had already finished it.
Mr. Wan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his student, who had been lying in the hospital for half a month, actually wrote a novel.
"What is written?" asked Mr. Wan in a deep voice.
Cheng Xuyuan then gave a brief account of the content of "Soldier Assault".
Listening to the main content of "Soldier Assault", Mr. Wan couldn't help but nodded and said, "Xiao Cheng, the entry point of your work is very good."
"Bring the novel over here later so I can take a good look at it."
Cheng Xuyuan chatted with Mr. Wan for half an afternoon, and then had dinner at Mr. Wan's home before saying goodbye and leaving.
When Cheng Xu left, he had in his hand a remittance slip in addition to the letter from Mr. Miller.
It is still the dividends from the performance of the drama "The Pursuit of Happyness".
As a screenwriter, Cheng Xuyuan signed a performance profit-sharing agreement, so he gets a share of the income from every performance of "The Pursuit of Happyness".
This is another month's share.
Looking at the remittance slip of 15,000 US dollars, Cheng Xuyuan's biggest feeling was that the money-making ability of "The Pursuit of Happyness" was really extraordinary.
The next morning, after attending a class, Cheng Xuyuan was about to ask Qin Wenhui for help in exchanging the remittance of 15,000 US dollars, but he received a call from Zhang Guangnian, asking him to go to the Literary Association.
Cheng Xu's trip to southern Xinjiang was all arranged by Zhang Guangnian.
Cheng Xuyuan is full of respect for this literary predecessor.
He immediately rode his bicycle to Zhang Guangnian's office.
"Xuyuan, I'm sorry to have scared you this time!" Zhang Guangnian said enthusiastically when he saw Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan shook hands with Zhang Guangnian and said, "Thank you for your concern, I am doing fine this time."
Zhang Guangnian looked at Cheng Xuyuan and found that Cheng Xuyuan not only had a rosy complexion, but also looked very good. He felt relieved.
He smiled and said, "Xuyuan, the reason I asked you to come here this time is not only because I wanted to see how your body is recovering, but also because I have something I want to discuss with you."
At this point, he picked up a manuscript and asked, "Did you write this?"
When Cheng Xuyuan took the manuscript, he saw that the cover was titled "Wreath on the Mountain", and the authors were him and Li Cunbao.
"This novel was mainly written by Li Cunbao. I just provided him with an outline."
"Brother Li insisted on writing my name on the list. I refused several times, but I didn't expect that he would add it in the end."
"I think, when publishing, I should just write Brother Li."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan speak so frankly, Zhang Guangnian smiled and said, "Xuyuan, you gave me a big surprise!"
“When I was reviewing the manuscript yesterday, do you know what I encountered?”
"There are only two manuscripts that I need to look at. One is written by Cheng Xuyuan and Li Cunbao, and the other is also written by Cheng Xuyuan."
At this point, he laughed and said, "From the perspective of writing articles alone, it is right to ask you to go to the south."
Cheng Xuyuan thought of how Zhang Guangnian looked when he read the two manuscripts, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm glad I didn't disappoint you."
"Disappointed? You have a big surprise for me!"
As he spoke, Zhang Guangnian raised the manuscript in his hand and said, "I asked you to come here this time because I wanted to talk to you."
"Mr. Zhang, please say something." Cheng Xuyuan looked at Zhang Guangnian's serious expression and said solemnly.
Zhang Guangnian said: "The higher-ups think that both manuscripts are very well written, so they plan to publish them separately."
“They were all published in People’s Literature.”
Being published separately in People's Literature is a sign of extraordinary importance.
Cheng Xuyuan was naturally happy about this honor, but then he thought of the manuscript of "Soldier Assault", which was given to Shen Yumo.
If it is published in "People's Literature", what should I say to "Yenching Literature and Art"?
"Mr. Zhang, I have already given this manuscript to Yenching Literature and Art. If it is published in People's Literature, then... I will not be able to explain to Yenching Literature and Art."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Zhang Guangnian smiled and said, "Xuyuan, this is not your concern."
"I'll talk to Lao Li."
"I believe that Lao Li will understand this."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that the Old Li that Zhang Guangnian was talking about was Li Qingquan.
Since Zhang Guangnian said so, Cheng Xuyuan did not insist any more. After all, for him, if his works were published in "People's Literature", it would be better for increasing his popularity.
What's more, the meaning of Zhang Guangnian's words has already been determined.
In the end, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Guangnian put the two manuscripts aside carefully, and then said, "Xuyuan, I asked you to come here for something else, which is your personal matter."
"Shen Yumo filed for divorce after he came back."
"I want to ask you, are you sure you want a divorce?"
If Cheng Xuyuan chose to be vague about the previous question, he could no longer be vague about this matter.
Cheng Xuyuan said to Zhang Guangnian solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, we submitted our divorce application last year."
"Now, we still ask for a divorce."
Zhang Guangnian hesitated for a moment and said, "Xuyuan, you just saved Shen Yumo, and I think you two are a perfect match. Won't you reconsider this matter?"
"I think that since you are willing to risk your life to save Shen Yumo, you two are not without feelings."
"If you can get to know each other better and resolve the knot between you, I think you still have great hope of continuing your relationship in the future."
After saying this, Zhang Guangnian looked at Cheng Xuyuan with expectation.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Mr. Zhang, saving people and getting a divorce are two different things. The two are not contradictory."
"I saved someone because I didn't want to stand by and watch when she was in danger."
"As for the divorce, it's because we both want to pursue our own lives."
"You may also know that we have already signed the divorce agreement."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's determined expression, Zhang Guangnian sighed and said, "You young people really don't know how to cherish."
After saying this, he continued to say, "Xuyuan, I still hope that you can reconsider it."
"After all, you should think twice before doing anything."
Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, I already have a new partner, and I really don't want this matter to be delayed any further."
Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan had made up his mind, Zhang Guangnian sighed and said, "Since you have decided this way, I don't care."
"You go back. I will push this matter forward according to your ideas."
Walking out of Zhang Guangnian's office, Cheng Xuyuan didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Although he had made up his mind, at this moment, when his determination became reality, he still felt a little reluctant.
After all, Shen Yumo and I are not without worries.
However, divorce now is the best option.
In the evening, Cheng Xuyuan came to the Shen family's housing estate again.
This time, he was holding two bottles of wine and a box of Daoxiangcun snacks in his hands.
Looking up at the small building under the orange lights, Cheng Xuyuan felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
If nothing unexpected happens, his visits here will become very rare in the future.
It's even possible that I will never come here again.
After all, after he and Shen Yumo divorced, an invisible gap would appear in the hearts of both of them.
Before entering the gate, Cheng Xuyuan saw Shen Yulin smoking at the entrance of the staff quarters.
"Brother Yulin, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan greeted Shen Yulin enthusiastically.
When Shen Yulin saw Cheng Xuyuan, a smile flashed in his eyes and he said, "Xiao Cheng, I'll come out to pick you up."
As he spoke, Shen Yulin looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a strange look, and then said: "Xiao Cheng, no matter what, thank you so much this time."
"If it weren't for you, my sister Yu Mo would have died this time!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Yulin, look at what you said, why thank you or not? Although Yumo and I are not destined to be together, we are friends after all."
"My friend is in danger, how can I not help him?"
"If you say thank you again, it will be too formal."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Shen Yulin reached out and punched Cheng Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Xuyuan, I don't need to thank you for your kindness."
"Let's have a couple of drinks today."
"You can't refuse this anymore."
Looking at Shen Yulin's sincere face, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Yulin, let's do as you said and have a couple of drinks."
"Come on, this is not the place to talk, let's go inside." Shen Yulin said, "My parents are waiting at home!"
Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yulin immediately walked towards the Shen family, one in front and one behind.
