Chapter 45 Director, I think I got into college
The silence in the air made Meng Dezhi react.
Because of the white mist in the air, he couldn't see Cheng Xuyuan's face clearly, but he could guess what this boy was thinking.
So he said in a deep voice: "What are you thinking about? I am used to going to the toilet after running in the morning, so what?"
He didn't want this kid to know that he usually went to the bathroom at home. The last time he met him was because he had diarrhea from running.
I must not let this kid know that the reason I come to squat in the toilet again and again is to listen to him talk about the 15th year of Wanli.
"This is your personal hobby and has nothing to do with me." Cheng Xuyuan said calmly.
Although Meng Dezhi was upset by this sentence, he was unwilling to continue, so he said in a deep voice: "Li Zhi, we have already talked about more than half of it, and we must finish it this time."
Although Cheng Xuyuan felt his feet a little numb at this time, he was still moved by Lao Meng's spirit of running so far to squat in the toilet.
After all, we're moving tomorrow, so it might as well be a good start and a good end.
Twenty minutes later, the two of them left the public toilet at the same time with their numb feet. During this process, although Cheng Xuyuan walked slowly, he could still walk.
As for Meng Dezhi, he had to hold on to the wall every time he took a step.
"Xiao Cheng, the last part is very interesting." Meng Dezhi said as he walked, "One leaf can tell the coming of autumn. From the microcosm of a few people, we can see the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are a great talent."
Cheng Xuyuan was about to say something modest when Meng Dezhi pulled out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "This is your manuscript fee, exactly one hundred and ten yuan."
"Take it and go buy something nice."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at the thin stack of big unity notes and felt excited.
I spent almost all of the money I earned from writing “The Pursuit of Happyness” yesterday on buying a bed and household items.
Now another 110 yuan has come all of a sudden, which is really a timely rain.
"Thank you, Lao Meng." Cheng Xuyuan thanked him as he took the money.
Meng Dezhi's legs and feet had almost recovered by this time. He said to Cheng Xuyuan, "Xiao Cheng, do you like to exercise in the morning?"
"What's up? Is there something wrong?"
"If you like exercising, you can get up in the morning and go jogging. We'll meet here." Meng Dezhi said, looking at the public toilet in the cultural center.
I'm sick, that's why I'm here to meet you! Cheng Xuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he smiled and said, "Lao Meng, my mother said that I'm weak, so I have to take a nap every morning."
"I'm leaving first."
This money is earned by me from my manuscripts, so please don't take advantage of it, Old Meng.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan leaving, Meng Dezhi seemed to have thought of something and said, "Xiao Cheng, don't take anything when you go to my house!"
"Otherwise, I won't let you in."
Cheng Xuyuan agreed to this request on the surface, but he decided in his heart that he must bring something with him and must not let Lao Meng look down on him.
He still understands the ways of the world.
When he returned to the house, Cheng Xuyuan discovered that the water in the Shuangliyu enamel basin had boiled because he had been squatting in the toilet for too long.
Using this water to wash your face is definitely equivalent to having a plastic surgery.
And four of the nine coal balls in the gas stove were extinguished.
It just so happens that I’m moving today, so I don’t have to keep the coal stove lit.
After washing his face with some cold water and listening to the news on the radio for a while, Cheng Xuyuan strolled off to have breakfast.
Passing by the communication room, Cheng Xuyuan greeted Old Li who was listening to the radio with great interest, and asked casually: "Uncle Li, whose family compound is that white building in front of us?"
Old Li, who had his eyes half-closed, suddenly widened his eyes.
He glanced in the direction of the White Building, and then said solemnly: "Xiao Cheng, don't hang out in the White Building if you have nothing to do."
"That's not the place for you to go."
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes again.
This old Li has made himself mysterious.
Cheng Xuyuan knew that Old Li was a bit stubborn. If he didn't want to say something, it would be useless even if you forced him.
So Cheng Xuyuan didn't waste time. After all, just because Old Li didn't say anything didn't mean that others would do the same.
There are no secrets from Shi Xuehong's mouth.
For a bowl of 3 liang plain noodles, Cheng Xuyuan not only spent 1 dime but also paid 3 liang of food coupons.
In fact, he no longer cared too much about money, what he cared about was the food stamps.
Of the thirty kilograms of national food coupons he brought with him, less than fifteen kilograms are now left.
Fortunately, food coupons will be issued today.
Unlike wages, food coupons are issued in advance.
Therefore, as a newcomer, Cheng Xuyuan was also able to receive food coupons from Yanjing today.
We are moving to a new house today, how about finding a place to celebrate? Just when Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about where to eat, he ran into Niu Changqing at the entrance of the cultural center.
Niu Changqing was wearing a black old-fashioned hat and a black briefcase was hanging on the handlebars of his bicycle.
When he saw Cheng Xuyuan, a smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Cheng, did you return the call?" Niu Changqing still liked this young man who brought honor to him and had great strength behind him.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Director, I came back too late. I was just about to go back now!"
"You have to go back quickly. Otherwise, your family will get anxious and send you a telegram. That would be a waste of money!" Niu Changqing said, waving his hand and saying, "Come to my office later and write an application for a phone call. You have to wait in line if you call from the post office. It's not as fast as here."
Cheng Xuyuan would naturally not refuse Niu Changqing's kindness. As a person, you need to show weakness at appropriate times, especially when facing your superiors, you have to take advantage of them, otherwise, how can you give the other party a chance to help you!
Moreover, the director Niu Changqing's move was clearly a kind of intimacy. If you refuse this kindness, how can you show the superiority of Niu who is high above you? After thanking Niu Changqing repeatedly, Cheng Xuyuan returned to the office of the creative team. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he started cleaning the office.
Twenty minutes passed, and Shi Xuehong, who was supposed to arrive soon, unexpectedly did not come on time. Cheng Xuyuan listened to the footsteps outside and felt that the time should be half past eight.
This is a good time to call.
When Cheng Xuyuan arrived at Niu Changqing's office, Niu Changqing was drinking water. He waved at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Come on, make the call first, and then fill out the form."
Only then did Cheng Xuyuan discover that there was an application form for making long-distance calls on Niu Changqing's desk.
Niu Changqing made preparations in advance, and naturally wanted to fulfill this favor to the end.
Cheng Xuyuan readily accepted the ladder that was handed to him.
He said several words of gratitude to Niu Changqing, then picked up the phone and called Cheng Jiadong's workplace.
I don’t know if it was because Cheng Xuyuan called early, but this time the call was successfully transferred in just over twenty minutes.
"Xuyuan, I'm your uncle. I'm telling you, you scored 342 points this time. This time, you're 100% sure to get into college!"
On the other end of the phone, Cheng Jiadong's voice was still full of excitement.
He said loudly: "I will call you when the physical examination is done. As for the other steps, you don't have to worry about them."
"Let me tell you, with your grades, people say you can get into Yanda or Shuimu."
Although this result was expected, Cheng Xuyuan was still excited when he heard the news.
He had just said "OK" when he heard Cheng Jiadong on the other end of the phone say, "It's almost a minute. I'll hang up first. Contact me if you have anything else."
As he was speaking, Cheng Jiadong hung up the phone.
Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless.
My uncle lives his life very carefully.
"Xiao Cheng, what's going on at home?" Niu Changqing asked with concern after seeing Cheng Xuyuan hang up the phone.
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Director, I think I was admitted to university."
It's a new day. Thank you all for your continued support. I won't say anything more. I just ask for your continued support. I will definitely update on time.
