Chapter 416 This person is incomparable
Those who gathered at Cheng Xuyuan's house were all young authors.
Of course, the word "young" should also be put in quotation marks. After all, those who can participate in this seminar are all authors with a certain fame.
So, this young age can be set at around 40 years old.
Liu Xinwu, Chen Jianxun, Zhen Pingwa...
We were all drinking and chatting together, it was really a happy time.
After dinner, some people didn’t want to go back, so they stayed in Cheng Xuyuan’s courtyard and continued chatting.
Cheng Xuyuan came back late. After he and Li Cunbao attended the work seminar, they participated in a series of activities under the arrangement of Zhang Guangnian.
When we returned to the courtyard of the Yenching Writers Association, it was already around eight or nine in the evening.
But even so, he was still pulled by Li Tuo and Chen Jianxun to drink beer with Zhen Pingwa and others who stayed in his room.
After drinking, Cheng Xuyuan still felt a little dizzy when he woke up the next day.
Just as he was washing his face with water and preparing to take Li Tuo and others out to eat, he heard a scream in the room.
Hearing this scream, Cheng Xuyuan was startled.
He thought something had happened, so he rushed to the room where the scream came from.
The door was open. When Cheng Xuyuan walked in, he saw Chen Jianxun holding a radio in his hand with an excited look on his face.
A voice was still ringing on the radio: "...The New York Drama Critics Circle Award is one of the most important awards in the American theater world..."
"Jianxun, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Jianxun who was holding the radio, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but complain.
After all, scaring people can really scare them to death.
Chen Jianxun waved at Cheng Xuyuan without waiting for him to finish speaking.
Not only that, Zhen Pingwa, who was sitting next to Chen Jianxun, also waved quickly towards Cheng Xuyuan.
What I mean is, just keep quiet and listen to the radio.
The broadcast was still introducing the Drama Critics Awards, and it lasted half a minute.
Cheng Xuyuan knew all the contents introduced in the broadcast. After all, he remembered the things from his previous life very clearly.
After the content of the broadcast changed, Chen Jianxun let out a breath and then looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a strange look.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Jianxun and suddenly had a clue in his mind.
But he didn't ask, just looked at Chen Jianxun quietly.
"Xuyuan, I was chatting with Pingwa yesterday, and I said that we can't compare with people like you."
"Today you have proved it to us with your actions."
Chen Jianxun said: "This morning, I listened to the radio and there were two messages about you."
"The first one was yesterday's work discussion, which you took up for about a minute and a half, and then the Drama Critics Award just now, which you took up another minute and a half."
"Tsk, tsk, you took up three minutes for a piece of news!"
Zhen Pingwa also said: "Xuyuan, I was planning to go back today, but after hearing the news just now, I think I have to kill you again."
"You are really enviable to have won the American Drama Critics Award!"
Mr. Miller wrote to Cheng Xuyuan to inform him of his nomination.
However, Mr. Miller did not write to him with any follow-up information, so Cheng Xuyuan did not pay much attention to it.
Now looking at the expressions of the two people, it seems that I should win this award.
Cheng Xuyuan was naturally happy about winning this award.
When he heard Zhen Pingwa say this, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go buy some good food for lunch today and we'll have a nice drink."
Chen Jianxun said: "We can't just have good food, we also need good wine."
"Xuyuan, I admire you so much!"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Jianxun's thumbs up and smiled, "It was just a coincidence."
Just as Cheng Xuyuan and Chen Jianxun were talking, Li Tuo and others who were staying at Cheng Xuyuan's house also came over.
They were all sleeping, but after Chen Jianxun's shout, they all started yelling.
"Jianxun, what's wrong with you? Why are you shouting so early in the morning?" Li Tuo said to Chen Jianxun with sleepy eyes.
He had been chatting with Cheng Xuyuan and others last night, and they chatted until after midnight. He was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by a shout.
I thought something had happened, so I ran over in a panic, but I found out nothing happened. Naturally, I was rude to the person who ruined my dream.
Facing Li Tuo's criticism, Chen Jianxun smiled and said, "Lao Li, let me tell you what happened just now."
"After you listen to it, you will understand how I felt at that time."
Then, Chen Jianxun told Li Tuo and others the news that had just been broadcast.
Li Tuo and others didn't believe it at first, and then looked at Cheng Xuyuan with incredible eyes.
Yesterday’s work seminar was, in the eyes of many people, the pinnacle of a lifetime of achievement.
But now, Cheng Xuyuan had just finished the seminar and won Lao Mi’s award the next day. This was his second time winning the award.
this……
"Xuyuan, you really treated us well this time." Li Cunbao said with a hint of emotion.
Before Cheng Xuyuan agreed, Li Tuo said in a deep voice: "Without a few bottles of good wine, I can't heal my broken heart."
Hearing these words, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
But at this moment, he could only agree with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go have breakfast first, and give everyone fifteen minutes to wash up." Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice.
Most people who get up in the morning feel hungry. When they hear Cheng Xuyuan talking about breakfast, they immediately get busy.
Twenty minutes later, Cheng Xuyuan and his group entered the Dongfeng Restaurant at the entrance of the alley. Each of them ordered a breakfast and started eating happily.
But just when everyone was discussing what to eat for lunch, Lan Tianye walked in.
He looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was eating and urged him, "Xuyuan, eat quickly. After dinner, let's go to the People's Art Theatre."
"Your teacher is waiting for you at the People's Art Theatre!"
Lan Tianye and Chen Jianxun were also old acquaintances. After he finished speaking, he sat down opposite Chen Jianxun.
Chen Jianxun looked at Lan Tianye, who was panting, and hurriedly said, "Lao Lan, have you eaten? If not, I'll get you some wontons."
“The wontons here are pretty good.”
Cheng Xuyuan also said, "Lao Lan, if you haven't eaten yet, eat something."
Lan Tianye said: "I have already eaten. It's past eight o'clock like you guys who are not having breakfast yet."
At this point, he glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Eat quickly, don't keep your teacher waiting for too long."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say anything and ate quickly.
Chen Jianxun said calmly, "Lao Lan, did you guys know about Xu Yuan's award?"
Lan Tianye said: "We also learned about this news from the radio."
"This news was passed on by our reporter in New York. It really caught us off guard."
"If I had known this news one day earlier, I could have added something to the seminar on Xuyuan's work."
Chen Jianxun chuckled and said, "This is also a good effect."
"At least, it shocked all of us."
It only took two or three minutes for Cheng Xuyuan to finish his breakfast. After all, the teacher was waiting, so he didn't dare to chew slowly.
"Jianxun, you guys take your time to eat first. I'll be back after I see the teacher." Cheng Xuyuan patted Chen Jianxun and said, "Help me entertain everyone first."
Naturally, Chen Jianxun would not refuse Cheng Xuyuan's arrangement.
"Just go with peace of mind. I'll take care of everything."
Cheng Xuyuan was extremely confident in Chen Jianxun's ability to do things, so he didn't say much and followed Lan Tianye out of the restaurant.
Watching Cheng Xuyuan and Lan Tianye riding away on their bikes, Chen Jianxun said, "People like Xuyuan are really incomparable!"
His words immediately resonated with everyone present.
Especially Zhen Pingwa, he said with a touch of emotion: "I won the short story award with Xuyuan this year. I don't think the gap between Xuyuan and me is that big."
"But the more I interact with Xu Yuan, the more I feel the gap between him and me is widening."
"In the future, I really need to learn from Xu Yuan."
Li Tuo said: "Pingwa, Cheng Xuyuan's talent is not something you can learn. I think, instead of sighing here, you should think about how to make a killing for him at noon."
"This guy is holding a seminar and winning awards. If I don't treat him well, it would be a shame to shock me this morning."
His words immediately distorted everyone's emotions.
For a moment, everyone's focus turned to how to give Cheng Xuyuan a good meal.
Just when everyone was discussing enthusiastically, Cheng Xuyuan came to the small conference room of the People's Art Theatre.
At this time, in the small conference room, Elder Wan and others were looking at a piece of news. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan coming in, Elder Wan smiled and said, "Xuyuan, you keep giving us surprises!"
At this point, he handed the message in his hand to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, this is the news that you won the award."
"By the way, I just received a call from Mr. Miller. He also told me about your award. He also invited you to the United States to accept the award and to discuss other matters related to The Pursuit of Happyness."
After hearing what Mr. Wan said, most people in the conference room looked at Cheng Xuyuan with envy.
After all, going abroad is something that countless people yearn for.
Especially for someone like Cheng Xuyuan, who goes abroad to receive awards, it is even more enviable.
To be honest, Cheng Xuyuan didn't have much interest in running outside.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher, can you contact Mr. Miller and ask him to find someone to help me collect the award?"
"I really don't want to go out. It's too tiring."
As soon as he said this, everyone, whether it was Mr. Wan or the others in the conference room, widened their eyes.
They never imagined that when faced with such an opportunity to go abroad, there are still people who use the excuse that it is too tiring and simply are unwilling to go.
Elder Wan hesitated for a moment and said, "Xuyuan, why don't you consider it again? Mr. Miller said that he can pay for all your travel expenses."
“It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”
"You are still young. It is good to go out and broaden your horizons occasionally."
After hearing this advice, Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Lan Tianye and others around him, and finally said, "Teacher, I'll think about it."
