Chapter 522 I Don’t Want to Become Someone in the Book
Unlike Shen Yunliang, Cheng Xuyuan didn't take the matter too seriously after the discussion.
Although many friends came to care about this matter, Cheng Xuyuan had no intention of changing his decision.
"Xuyuan, my uncle asked us to go to his house for dinner tonight." Fang Yuqing said softly to Cheng Xuyuan.
Ever since Cheng Xuyuan refused to cooperate with Yihe Publishing House, Fang Yuqing has been worried, fearing that this incident would have a negative impact on Cheng Xuyuan.
This time, Meng Dezhi asked Cheng Xuyuan to have dinner with him, and it was also thanks to her phone call.
Looking at Fang Yuqing with a smile on her face, Cheng Xuyuan grabbed her hand and patted it gently, saying, "Then let's go after school."
"Did your uncle let me come over to eat this time because he was annoyed by you?"
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Fang Yuqing's face turn a little red.
Although Cheng Xuyuan did not guess all the facts, he guessed about 80% of them right.
She smiled and said, "We'd better discuss this matter with my uncle."
"He has some experience in this area."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Then go and listen to what uncle has to say about this matter."
After class in the afternoon, Cheng Xuyuan rode his motorcycle and took Fang Yuqing to the small white building where Meng Dezhi lived.
On the way there, Cheng Xuyuan bought some snacks at Daoxiangcun.
Although Meng Dezhi's family is not short of these, this is the minimum courtesy.
If Fang Yuqing goes alone, it doesn't matter whether she brings a gift or not.
But now he was going there with Fang Yuqing, and if he didn't bring anything, it would seem that he was a little rude.
When I arrived at Meng Dezhi's house, Meng Dezhi had not yet returned from get off work.
Aunt Mo Yunqi was cooking. When she saw Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing coming over, her face was full of smiles.
"Yuqing, you two haven't been here for a few days." Mo Yunqi asked Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing to sit down, and complained: "Your uncle mentioned that you didn't come a few days ago, and said that he would settle the score with Xuyuan?"
Fang Yuqing took Mo Yunqi's hand and said, "Aunt, I was busy with my studies these days, so I didn't come here. It has nothing to do with Xuyuan."
"You, just spoil him." Mo Yunqi patted Fang Yuqing's shoulder and said, "You will have a headache in the future."
Mo Yunqi was talking while cooking, while Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing were helping her, and they were getting along quite well.
An hour later, Meng Dezhi came in carrying a bag.
When he saw Fang Yuqing, Meng Dezhi's face was full of smiles and he looked kind.
But when he saw Cheng Xuyuan, Meng Dezhi snorted and said, "Oh, isn't this Xu Lingyun? Your name has been well-known these past two days!"
Cheng Xuyuan knew what Meng Dezhi meant.
He and Meng Dezhi are old friends, and he knows that his uncle will always be on his side no matter what.
So he said with a smile: "Uncle, no matter how famous I am, I can't compare to you!"
Meng Dezhi snorted and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"Let me ask you, I've already asked Yuqing to inform you about this cooperation, why did you still refuse?"
Facing the serious Meng Dezhi, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, I am actually very willing to cooperate."
"After all, who doesn't want more people to see their work?"
"But that Sasuke Ichiro doesn't want to cooperate at all."
"The conditions they offer are not just deception, they are simply too much."
"If I sign this contract, I will become a joke among others."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan say this, Meng Dezhi's expression changed.
Meng Dezhi has always been very concerned about Cheng Xuyuan's affairs.
He said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the overall situation, it is normal to give up a little benefit. How can it become a joke in the mouths of others?"
Cheng Xuyuan had already thought about this, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, in my cultural journey, I wrote about the Taoist Tower and the Taoist priest."
"If I sign a contract with Yihe Publishing House for my work knowing that I am being cheated."
"Doesn't that make it seem like the Taoist priest and I are at odds with each other?"
Meng Dezhi frowned. He had never really thought about Cheng Xuyuan's reason.
However, after careful consideration, I felt that what Cheng Xuyuan said made sense.
If Cheng Xuyuan agreed to this obviously unfair contract with Yihe Publishing House, he would become the person described in his book.
Eventually, it will be criticized.
"You have some sense in doing this." Meng Dezhi said here, his expression suddenly became stern, "But don't think you can get away with this."
"I asked you, why didn't you contact me after what happened?"
"Do you not trust me, or are you too confident in yourself?"
Meng Dezhi's seriousness made Fang Yuqing, who had wanted to come over to cover for Cheng Xuyuan, dare not move.
She knew her uncle's temper. On some matters, the more people advised him, the more likely it was to have the opposite effect.
Cheng Xuyuan felt extremely relaxed at this time.
He smiled and said, "Uncle, I will never fail to trust you."
"I just think that I can handle this matter myself."
"Excuse me, that's killing a chicken with a butcher knife."
"Besides, both Yuqing and I have to grow up, and we will have to deal with our own affairs in the end."
"Although this matter is not big, it is not small either. It is a good opportunity for me to practice."
Cheng Xuyuan's words slowly brought a smile to Meng Dezhi's face.
"Okay, sit down and eat." Meng Dezhi took out a bottle of wine from the study and said, "We haven't had a drink for a while, let's have a good drink."
Looking at the good wine that Meng Dezhi took out, Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I came here on a motorcycle this time. We have plenty of time to drink."
As soon as Cheng Xuyuan finished speaking, Mo Yunqi said in a deep voice: "Xuyuan is not suitable for drinking while driving, so you should stop drinking too."
"You must take care of your body."
"During the physical examination a few days ago, the doctor told me to try to drink less in the future."
As he spoke, Mo Yunqi reached out and took Meng Dezhi's bottle of wine and said, "I'm happy that Xuyuan and the others are coming today, so I'll let you have two drinks."
Looking at the small cup in front of him, Meng Dezhi felt helpless.
Although he was still somewhat reluctant in his heart, he knew very well that his wife did this for him, so he could only say, "Okay, I'll only drink two glasses this time."
After saying that, he glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, if you don't come to me for this matter, is there any solution? If so, solve it as soon as possible."
"It will save you from more troubles."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "Uncle, I have already contacted someone about this matter. I believe there will be news soon."
