Chapter 419 A person without great ambitions
At Meng Dezhi's house, after seeing off Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing who had finished dinner, Meng Dezhi and Mo Yunqi chatted while packing up.
"This guy Cheng Xuyuan is really infuriating!"
"Nowadays, many people are crying and shouting to go abroad, but even a chance to go abroad for a trip will be fought over by others."
"But he is so good. Once he goes out, it's as if his life is going to be taken away. Not only does he make excuses, but he also looks like he is going to be executed."
"What great things can this guy accomplish?"
Mo Yunqi felt helpless when listening to Meng Dezhi's complaints.
She naturally knew that what her husband said was true.
In fact, she has also seen some people who have fought tooth and nail over going abroad, and even people who had a good relationship with each other ended up not seeing each other again.
But Cheng Xuyuan was unwilling to go to receive the award, and his travel expenses were paid for by someone else. This was really...
"Xu Yuan's current situation doesn't require him to have any big ambitions."
“As long as it’s honest writing, that’s fine.”
"After all, his current achievements have surpassed the lifelong efforts of many people." After Mo Yunqi said this, he glanced at Meng Dezhi.
Meng Dezhi carefully savored his wife's words, and he had a feeling that the many people his wife was talking about seemed to include him.
"This guy just doesn't want to make progress." In the end, Meng Dezhi ended the conversation between the two with one sentence.
Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing didn't know that after they left, their uncle actually gave Cheng Xuyuan such an evaluation.
In August, even though it is already night, the heat is still very strong.
Whether it is the streets or the alleys, they are full of people enjoying the cool air.
It’s not that people don’t want to stay at home, it’s just that the room is too hot, making people feel like they can’t stay there.
Although most people have fans at home, they are not only expensive, but also not very cool.
So most people prefer to stay outdoors.
"Xuyuan, I don't want you to go to the United States. I won't be able to see you for two weeks." Fang Yuqing held Cheng Xuyuan's arm and said reluctantly, "But what uncle said makes sense. Receiving this award will be of great benefit to you."
Cheng Xuyuan shook Fang Yuqing's hand and said, "I just simply don't want to go out."
"But now, since I can't hide away, I might as well go for a spin."
"Anyway, this time I go out, I basically just eat, drink and have fun, and do nothing else."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked lazy, Fang Yuqing smiled gently.
She was not at all unhappy with Cheng Xuyuan's behavior.
In her opinion, it was actually quite good for Cheng Xuyuan to take a leisurely stroll like this.
"By the way, if you want to buy something, you can tell me now." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "Although the prize is only one thousand US dollars, I still have some money from Mr. Miller."
"Just tell me what you like. You don't need a ticket to buy things there."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Fang Yuqing's heart was suddenly moved.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Two days ago, I went to the home of one of my father's comrades-in-arms. One of his little sisters had a small tape recorder in her hand. I liked it very much."
"If you come across this in the United States, why don't you buy one for me?"
When Cheng Xuyuan heard Fang Yuqing say this, he immediately understood what she was talking about, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll buy one for you when I get there."
"There are plenty of Walkmans in the United States."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked deeper into the alley.
As the street lights around them grew dimmer, the two people held each other's hands tighter.
As for the trip to the United States, Cheng Xuyuan didn't have to worry at all because Meng Dezhi and others stepped up to help him. The procedures were completed quickly.
When he got his passport, Cheng Xuyuan originally thought that he would have to travel to the United States alone, but he did not expect that before leaving, Meng Dezhi actually introduced him to several people who would travel with him.
To be precise, it should be Cheng Xuyuan who was traveling with them. There were seven or eight people going to the United States this time.
"Xuyuan, let me introduce you. This is Director Xiang from Xingzhou Chemical Plant. They are going out this time to discuss a chemical production line."
Meng Dezhi pointed at a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties with a dark face and said.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Hello, Director Xiang."
Although Cheng Xuyuan was not familiar with the Xingzhou Chemical General Plant, any plant that could be called a general plant was generally of a high level.
The directors of these large factories are all people who walk with the wind.
Although Cheng Xuyuan will not have any disputes with Xingzhou Chemical Plant, one more friend always means one more way out.
In response to Cheng Xuyuan's politeness, Director Xiang smiled and shook hands with Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Writer Cheng, you should just call me Old Xiang."
"I have long heard of your name."
"To be honest, I haven't read most of your works, but I have been following your story about the Ming Dynasty."
“That book is really well written.”
What he said to the factory director was extremely sincere, and no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like he was just being hypocritical.
After Cheng Xuyuan and Director Xiang exchanged a few polite words, the two sides got to know each other.
Then, the factory director introduced Cheng Xuyuan to several colleagues who were going to Xingzhou Chemical Plant, most of whom were technical personnel.
There was a hint of strangeness in everyone's eyes when they looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
As for this young writer, most of the people present had read his works. Seeing him in person now made Director Xiang and others shocked and surprised at the same time.
What's more, these days, many newspapers have been reporting on Cheng Xuyuan's soldiers' assault and the wreaths under the mountains.
These reports made Cheng Xuyuan's reputation even more famous.
Now, they finally saw the real person! After Cheng Xuyuan introduced himself to the factory director, he exchanged a few words with the other people who set out together, and had a preliminary acquaintance with the people he was traveling with.
As for the people from Xingzhou Chemical General Plant, after a brief acquaintance with Cheng Xuyuan, they began to whisper about Cheng Xuyuan's purpose of going abroad.
Receive your award!
Those who went to inspect the equipment and negotiate were all very nervous.
Cheng Xuyuan went to receive the award. Everything had been arranged by someone. He just went around leisurely and then came back with the award.
And he returned with honors. The gap is really too big.
After a brief exchange of understanding with each other, Director Xiang and others walked out of Meng Dezhi's office.
At the beginning, no one talked much.
But after leaving the building where Meng Dezhi worked, someone said with emotion: "This guy is really incomparable. We worked so hard to go to the United States to negotiate equipment, but we don't know if it will work."
"But Cheng Xuyuan not only has no missions, but also has prizes to win."
“This is really incomparable!”
