Chapter 420: Cheng Xuyuan, whose house
is crowded with people With Fang Yuqing reluctant to let him go, Cheng Xuyuan boarded the plane to Hong Kong.
The reason I went to Hong Kong first was because I was going to New York and needed to transfer in Hong Kong.
Because Meng Dezhi wanted Director Xiang and others to take care of Cheng Xuyuan, he bought Cheng Xuyuan's ticket together with Director Xiang and others' tickets.
Cheng Xuyuan sat next to Zhuang Wuying, a technician from Xingzhou Chemical Plant.
Zhuang Wuying is thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old. He is a technician in the factory. He graduated from college more than ten years ago and is now highly valued in the factory.
In Xingzhou Chemical Plant, he is considered a middle-level manager.
Along the way, the two chatted and felt like they were soulmates.
Although most of Zhuang Wuying's topics are about the factory and technology.
But he discovered that, in his eyes, Cheng Xuyuan, who should have been a liberal arts student, understood all of this.
He could even say something new and refreshing in some aspects of chemistry.
So when the plane landed, he felt that it was a pity that with Cheng Xuyuan's abilities, it was a pity that he did not go to Xingzhou Chemical Plant to be a technician.
After all, many technicians in his factory seemed not as good as Cheng Xuyuan.
Because the connecting flight has to wait until tomorrow, I arranged a hotel for one night in advance.
The trip of Xingzhou Chemical Plant had already been arranged, so someone came to greet them as soon as they got off the plane.
After exchanging a few polite words with the factory manager and the person who greeted him, he boarded an old-looking bus and left the airport.
Cheng Xuyuan was sitting on the bus, watching the passing scenery, feeling emotional.
Compared to when he came to Hong Kong last year, there seems to be a lot of changes.
After just over ten minutes, the car stopped at a small hotel. Not only was the store old, but the surrounding environment was also a bit noisy.
"Director Xiang, this place is a bit difficult to live in. Please bear with me."
The young man in charge of reception said, "The prices in Hong Kong are really too expensive. Just the room rate here costs dozens of Hong Kong dollars a night."
Director Xiang and others, who were used to staying in hotels for one or two yuan a night, were all displeased when they heard that this shabby hotel would cost dozens of yuan a night.
They have never lived in such an expensive house.
Of course, the condition of this house is a bit too poor.
He thanked the factory manager: "Xiao Chen, we are very grateful that you can give us a place to rest."
"We are all used to hardship, and it's nice to have a house to live in here."
"Come on, let's check in first, get ready, and then find something to eat together."
Although Cheng Xuyuan didn't like this harsh environment very much, he had no choice but to follow the group.
He and Zhuang Wuying lived in a standard room together. After putting down his luggage, Cheng Xuyuan heard a knock on the door.
When Zhuang Wuying opened the door, she saw a strange man standing at the door.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Facing a stranger, and who seemed to be a local stranger, Zhuang Wuying's expression was full of vigilance.
The visitor glanced at Zhuang Wuying, then smiled and said, "Hello, sir. I am Dong Cheng from Ming Pao. Is Mr. Cheng Xuyuan here?"
As an engineer studying chemical engineering, Zhuang Wuying was not very familiar with Ming Pao.
But looking at Dong Cheng's expression, he guessed that this person should be a successful person.
And he is a very good and successful person, otherwise he would not be so well-dressed and have such an extraordinary demeanor.
"Please wait a moment." As he spoke, he shouted into the room, "Xuyuan, someone is looking for you."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan came out. Seeing Dong Cheng, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Dong, why are you here?"
Dong Cheng smiled and said, "Xuyuan, I heard from a friend that you were going to the United States to receive the award. You happened to be in Hong Kong for a layover today, so I reported it to Mr. Cha."
"Mr. Cha is very happy. He has wanted to meet you for a long time."
"So let me come over and invite you to a simple meal."
Having said that, he glanced at the room where Cheng Xuyuan lived, and then said in a deep voice: "Xuyuan, this place is too far from the airport."
"Why don't we go somewhere closer so we can talk more."
When Zhuang Wuying saw the two people greeting each other, she was sure that the visitor knew Cheng Xuyuan.
Just when he was about to stop interrupting the two people's conversation, he heard Dong Cheng's words and was speechless for a moment.
After all, this place is only a dozen minutes' drive from the airport, how can it be far?
Cheng Xuyuan understood what Dong Cheng meant, smiled and said: “Mr. Dong, thank you very much for Mr. Cha’s kindness, this place is actually not bad.”
"It's just one night anyway, so there's no need to bother."
"Besides, we came here together and are going to the United States together, so there's no need to bother."
Dong Cheng smiled at Zhuang Wuying and said, "Xuyuan, those who came with you can also go together."
"Mr. Cha is still very hospitable."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, it's nice here."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's determined expression, Dong Cheng did not try to persuade him.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Let's go eat, Mr. Cha should be here by now."
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Dong Cheng and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go tell my friend."
"After all, I'm not alone this time."
Dong Cheng understood what Cheng Xuyuan said. He smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, I'll wait for you downstairs."
After Cheng Xuyuan sent Dong Cheng away, he said to Zhuang Wuying, "Old Zhuang, a friend wants to invite me to dinner. Why don't you come with me?"
At this moment, Zhuang Wuying's mind was filled with the requirements of his studies these days.
Cheng Xuyuan went out to eat with others, which seemed a bit against the rules!
He hesitated and said, "Xuyuan, should you report it when you go out to eat like this?"
"Um...Um, don't let it have a bad influence after we go back."
Looking at Zhuang Wuying's expression, Cheng Xuyuan immediately understood the concerns of this big brother.
Deep down, Cheng Xuyuan was very grateful for the reminder from this elder brother.
After all, they were doing it for his own good.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Lao Zhuang, why don't you go and tell Director Xiang."
"Okay." Zhuang Wuying knew what Cheng Xuyuan meant, which was that he was not under the factory director's supervision and they were just colleagues.
At that moment, Zhuang Wuying went to the corridor and went to the room where the factory director lived.
Director Xiang, who was washing his face, heard that someone was coming to have dinner with Cheng Xuyuan, and he didn't know what to do.
The reason why Meng Dezhi traveled with Cheng Xuyuan was not because of his face, but because of the request from above.
But he had no control over Cheng Xuyuan because he was not an employee of their factory.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
After explaining the situation, Director Xiang put down the phone, looked at Zhuang Wuying strangely and said, "Didn't Cheng Xuyuan invite you to dinner just now?"
"Then go ahead."
Zhuang Wuying couldn't believe his ears. He stared at the factory director with wide eyes and said, "Director, you want me to go to dinner with Cheng Xuyuan?"
He nodded to the factory manager and said, "Yes, you can follow me."
"Don't say anything you shouldn't say, and take good care of Cheng Xuyuan."
Hearing this greeting, Zhuang Wuying felt helpless.
He really didn't want to get involved in Cheng Xuyuan's affairs, but he had to obey the factory director's arrangements.
At the moment, I could only ask: "Director, do you have any other arrangements?"
Director Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "If you can come back early, persuade Xuyuan to come back early. After all, he has to take a plane tomorrow."
With the mission, Zhuang Wuying returned to the room.
He glanced at Cheng Xuyuan, hesitated for a moment and said, "Xuyuan, the factory manager asked me to accompany you, saying that we are unfamiliar with the place and we can take care of each other."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Zhuang to accompany me."
Zhuang Wuying sighed and went downstairs with Cheng Xuyuan.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw Dong Cheng talking to a middle-aged man. Both of them had smiles on their faces and they seemed to be acquaintances.
But when Cheng Xuyuan walked downstairs, the middle-aged man who was talking to Dong Cheng had already walked towards Cheng Xuyuan quickly and said, "Xuyuan, I heard that you passed by Hong Kong, so I hurried over from my childhood."
"I didn't expect that no matter how fast I rushed, I still couldn't get here as fast as the boss!"
Hearing these words with a hint of annoyance, Zhuang Wuying didn't know what to say.
He had seen the world map and knew that although his childhood home was not far from Hong Kong, it was not close either.
But now, this person actually ran over from his daily life just to welcome Cheng Xuyuan. This is too exaggerated.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, you are so polite."
"I'm going to the United States for a visit and will be back soon."
Lin Gengsheng took Cheng Xuyuan's hand and said, "Xuyuan, I know you are in a hurry, so I came here urgently."
"You won the American Drama Critics Award, which brings honor to us. I have to celebrate for you no matter what."
Before he finished speaking, Dong Cheng said solemnly: "Old Lin, I understand your feelings."
"But when we do things, there must always be a first come first served."
"Mr. Cha is already waiting. No matter how anxious you are, you can't be more anxious than Mr. Cha."
Looking at Dong Cheng who looked unquestionable, Lin Gengsheng rubbed his hands.
The reason why he was so anxious was that the stories about the Ming Dynasty were about to be serialized.
He wanted to finalize the new work with Cheng Xuyuan when Cheng Xuyuan passed through Hong Kong.
Only in this way can we guarantee the sales of Tonight’s Newspaper.
But now, Dong Cheng wants to take Cheng Xuyuan out for dinner, this...
"Boss, I haven't seen Mr. Cha for a while. How about I come over for the meal as well? It's my treat."
When Dong Cheng heard Lin Gengsheng's request, he thought to himself, "Do I need your meal money?" However, seeing Lin Gengsheng, who was determined to achieve his goal, Dong Cheng felt helpless.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Xuyuan said to Dong Cheng: "Old Dong, we are all friends, why don't we have a meal together?"
Dong Cheng looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked serious, and sighed, "Xuyuan, I'll listen to you."
"Who let me run into this kind of person?"
Lin Gengsheng pretended not to hear Dong Cheng's sarcastic words, and walked out of the hotel with him smiling.
When Zhuang Wuying saw this situation, he couldn't help but admire Cheng Xuyuan even more.
A famous writer, indeed extraordinary.
Just as they walked out of the hotel, they saw a black car driving towards them from a distance.
When he saw the car, an idea suddenly came to Zhuang Wuying's mind.
Isn't this also for Cheng Xuyuan? (End of this chapter)
