Chapter 495 A Gift for My Son
Seeing the situation in the house at this time, Cheng Xuyuan reacted immediately.
Shen Yumo's colleagues haven't left yet.
Whatever the reason, they are here.
And it was just a coincidence!
What should I do?
At this time, what should I do? Cheng Xuyuan quickly glanced at these people, hoping that there were no acquaintances among them.
Because acquaintances are most likely to reveal their identities.
Fortunately, from his perspective, the people in front of him were people he had never seen before.
At this time, I was still wearing the black-framed glasses, and the shape of my head had also changed slightly.
In fact, it was not only Cheng Xuyuan who was panicked at this moment, Shen Yumo was also frightened.
She also didn't expect that Cheng Xuyuan would come back so early.
But to be honest, it’s not Cheng Xuyuan’s fault that he came back early. It’s because her colleagues came an hour late due to work reasons.
So, he met Cheng Xuyuan who had returned.
But these colleagues arrived late and she had no way to notify Cheng Xuyuan.
She didn't know the phone number of Shanghai Film Studio, and at this time, if she wanted to make a call, she would have to go to the post office two or three miles away.
"Hello everyone, I am the father of Shen Yumo's child. I am an engineer. You can just call me Engineer Cheng." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile after hesitating for a moment.
After hearing Cheng Xuyuan's self-introduction, the colleagues returned to normal.
A woman in her forties said, "Engineer Cheng, you must take good care of Yu Mo during this period of time."
"This child is so good-looking."
Having said this, she glanced at her colleagues around her and said, "It's getting late, let's let Yu Mo rest early."
With her suggestion, everyone else stood up as well.
Cheng Xuyuan said quickly: "We are very grateful that you can come to see Yu Mo. It's getting late now, let's go out and have a simple meal."
"Engineer Cheng, please don't be polite. Please take good care of Yu Mo."
"We will come back to bother you when the child is over a hundred days old." The speaker was the woman in her forties, and she said it very gently.
Her words provoked others to respond: "Engineer Cheng, when the child is 100 days old, we will definitely bother him."
"Let Yu Mo have a good rest once you enter."
"The child may be hungry, you take care of the child first."
…
Although he was afraid of exposing himself, as things had come to this point, Cheng Xuyuan still held up his black-framed glasses and sent everyone downstairs.
After watching everyone leave, he went upstairs.
At home, Wang Yian was helping to sweep the floor, while Shen Yumo was holding the child.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan coming in, Shen Yumo said softly: "The editorial department had something urgent to do, so they came an hour late. They didn't expect to run into you."
"I'm so sorry."
Hearing Shen Yumo say this, Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "You don't want this kind of thing to happen."
"This is what happens when man proposes, God disposes. There is nothing to apologize for."
"What's more, they just think I'm Engineer Cheng now, so they probably didn't recognize me."
"This shows that my glasses are still good."
Wang Yian looked at Cheng Xuyuan who looked complacent, hesitated for a moment and said: "When you wear these glasses, you are indeed different from Cheng Xuyuan."
"Without glasses, Cheng Xuyuan is full of positivity."
"You give me the feeling of being old-fashioned and inflexible."
Wang Yian was speaking the truth when he said this.
Cheng Xuyuan was not angry about Wang Yian's comment. He smiled and said, "If you feel this way, then other people who are not familiar with me may feel this way even more."
Wang Yian curled his lips and was about to say goodbye and leave.
The main reason she came here this time was to help Shen Yumo deal with her colleagues.
Now, Shen Yumo's colleagues have left, Cheng Xuyuan has returned, and her work is naturally done.
After glancing at the time, Cheng Xuyuan said, "Yian, you've been busy all day, so Yu Mo and I will treat you to a meal."
"Thanks. I won't refuse if Yu Mo invites me to dinner, but I think I'd better forget about the meal with you, the great writer Cheng." There was a hint of persistence in Wang Yian's words.
From Wang Yian's words, Cheng Xuyuan felt a hint of resistance towards himself.
Cheng Xuyuan felt that the reason why Wang Yian acted like this might be related to the relationship between himself and Shen Yumo.
Looking at Wang Yian who was about to leave, Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly: "Yian, I'm inviting you to this meal, and I need your help with something."
"Let's talk while we eat."
Although Shen Yumo didn't know what Cheng Xuyuan was going to say, at this moment, she still said, "Yian, let's eat first before we leave."
Although Wang Yian was somewhat reluctant in her heart, she did not want to make Shen Yumo unhappy at this moment, so she agreed.
"Master Cheng, what are you going to treat me to?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Of course I'll treat you to a good meal."
"I just saw that the restaurant on Front Street allows you to bring in your meals."
"I'll go over there later and buy some of their braised pork and fish, and we'll have a good meal."
At a time when meat supply required tickets, meat dishes in restaurants basically only required money.
But this costs a lot of money.
However, Wang Yian would not save money for Cheng Xuyuan. After all, she knew very well that the royalties Cheng Xuyuan earned were extraordinary.
"Okay, I'll wait then."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled at Shen Yumo, then left the residence. Half an hour later, Cheng Xuyuan brought two dishes in a small pot and a lunch box.
One is braised pork, and the other is steamed fish in a small pot.
Smelling the fragrant braised pork, even Wang Yian, who had a grudge against Cheng Xuyuan, felt a little salivated.
After Cheng Xuyuan brought over the plates and bowls, the three of them gathered around the small table to eat, and the child, whose nickname was temporarily confirmed to be An An, was now lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
After eating two bites of the braised pork, Wang Yian asked Cheng Xuyuan, "Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Cheng Xuyuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, opened his suitcase, took out a stack of manuscript paper and said, "These are some children's stories written by Yu Mo, take a look."
Wang Yian was stunned for a moment, then started flipping through the pages.
Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf! Wang Yian flipped through a few articles and his expression suddenly became serious.
Although she focuses her main energy on writing, her current job is as an editor of a children's magazine.
She has a very strong judgment on the quality of a work.
Based on the two or three stories she had read, she felt that as long as the following stories could maintain this level, they would definitely become classic children's stories.
"This is..." Wang Yian looked at Cheng Xuyuan.
"We've talked about this before, I plan to let Yu Mo become a full-time writer." Cheng Xuyuan said: "I thought about it and decided to let her write children's literature."
"Not only is this an easy job, but it's also suitable for telling stories to children in the future."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "I can't write these, they were all written by Cheng Xuyuan."
"I said you wrote it, Yian also said you wrote it, and when it's published under your name, it's naturally yours."
Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "Yian, what do you think?"
After Wang Yian read two more articles, he said solemnly, "After I go back, I can apply for a serial."
"Cheng Xuyuan, according to my estimation, your fairy tale is likely to attract many readers and make you more famous. Do you really want to give it to Yu Mo?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Yian, if I didn't do this, I wouldn't have taken it out."
"What's more, this is also the best option for Yian to become a full-time writer as soon as possible."
"After you return, I hope to arrange for publication as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, I'll look for another magazine."
As an editor, Wang Yian also has the pressure of finding good manuscripts.
Although everyone is very interested in writing now, there are very few authors who write children's stories.
Many times, they have difficulty in compiling manuscripts.
Cheng Xuyuan's serialized stories, which are extremely attractive, have great appeal to them.
"Don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible and will never delay anything."
"But you have to promise that once this story becomes popular, you won't stop writing." Wang Yian put the manuscript directly into his bag and said to Cheng Xuyuan in a very serious tone.
Cheng Xuyuan said affirmatively: "Of course."
After Wang Yian asked some questions about Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, he quickly finished his meal and left in a hurry.
She had originally asked for leave today, but Cheng Xuyuan gave her these manuscripts and asked her to go back and review them carefully.
Looking at Wang Yian who left in a hurry, Shen Yumo couldn't help but say: "Looking at Yian's expression, this story may cause quite a stir."
"It's better to publish it under your name."
"It will be better for your reputation this way."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "For me, this is just icing on the cake, but for you, it can make you a full-time writer."
"And in the future, the royalties from this story will make your life better."
"If you feel embarrassed, just think of it as a gift from me to my son."
"If you don't feel comfortable using your own name, just use a pen name and let everyone know it's your pen name."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan mention the pen name, Shen Yumo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xuyuan, do you know? Nowadays, most people use their own names when they write."
“There aren’t many people who use pen names anymore.”
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I just like to use a pen name."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's just..."
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to say something else, a child started crying. Cheng Xuyuan immediately rushed into the bedroom and took the child out.
The young parents, who were originally discussing fairy tales, became flustered in dealing with their children. Although both of them were busy for a while, they also enjoyed it.
Shen Yumo looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was clumsily changing the baby's diaper, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But how long can such days continue?
He still has to leave after all! (End of this chapter)
