Chapter 523 Feng Xiaoxia's Unintentional Help
Cheng Xuyuan did not lie to Meng Dezhi.
After this incident came out, he called Dong Cheng in Hong Kong and asked him to help him contact Ming Pao.
See if there are any other small publishing houses that can publish his cultural journey.
But now, Dong Cheng didn't reply to him.
After having a meal at Meng Dezhi's house, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing rode their motorcycle back to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.
Although at the beginning, Meng Fanjin kept a close eye on Cheng Xuyuan, fearing that Fang Yuqing would not return home on time.
But no matter how tight the defense is, there will always be times when it is lax.
Over the past six months, Meng Fanjin's defense against Cheng Xuyuan had unconsciously become weaker.
Even gradually, it became a formality.
For example, this time, the two of them quietly returned to the Overseas Chinese Apartment.
After returning home, Fang Yuqing tidied up the clutter in the living room and asked Cheng Xuyuan, "Xuyuan, how are you going to solve this matter?"
"My uncle said that the longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more uncertain it will be."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing with eager eyes and knew that the reason why she attached so much importance to this matter was because she was afraid of suffering losses.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already contacted Ming Pao and asked them to help contact the publisher of Xiao Ri Zi."
"I believe there will be news soon."
"Isn't it just selling the works to Xiao Ri? That's easy."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuyuan held Fang Yuqing in his arms and said, "Don't worry about this, let's talk."
When Fang Yuqing heard the word "talk", her face suddenly turned red.
She and Cheng Xuyuan have been together for such a long time, so she naturally knows what he means by "talking".
However, although Fang Yuqing blushed, she did not object to Cheng Xuyuan's request to speak.
The next morning, the two returned to school as if nothing had happened.
They went to the cafeteria together to get breakfast, and then hurried to their respective classrooms.
The teachers basically no longer care about Cheng Xuyuan's professional courses.
According to some teachers, he should have applied for graduate school long ago. Taking classes here is just a way to get by.
While listening to Professor Li's lecture on the history of the Five Dynasties, Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about whether he should call Dong Cheng after class to ask about their contact situation.
Just as all kinds of thoughts were surging in Cheng Xuyuan's mind, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.
Cheng Xuyuan had just watched Professor Li leave when he saw Li Tuo standing at the door waving at him.
Cheng Xuyuan still values his friend Li Tuo very much.
But he has his own job, so he seldom comes to see Cheng Xuyuan unless necessary.
How come this guy comes here while I’m in class?
Many thoughts arose in his mind, but Cheng Xuyuan still quickly came to the door.
"Old Li, what brings you here?" Seeing Li Tuo, Cheng Xuyuan asked with a smile.
Li Tuo said seriously: "Xuyuan, I have something important to talk to you about this time."
Having said this, he looked around and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to talk."
Normally, Li Tuo and Cheng Xuyuan would always be laughing when talking to each other, but now they looked so serious, it was obvious that they had something important to do.
Cheng Xuyuan guessed that it was probably related to the publishing of Culture Journey.
"Come on, let's go for a walk by the lake."
Weiming Lake is not big, but there are many places to chat everywhere.
Cheng Xuyuan and Li Tuo came to an inconspicuous place by the lake and asked, "Old Li, what makes you so serious?"
"Xuyuan, it's still about your cultural tour."
"Your cultural tours are selling like hot cakes right now."
"I wonder how many people will be jealous and envious of me?"
Li Tuo said seriously, "Yesterday I heard from a friend that someone has threatened to put a damper on your arrogance."
"You are ignoring the overall situation and only caring about your own small interests, forgetting the greater good."
"Some people even suggested that you should be specifically criticized for this behavior."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally understood the intentions of some people. He smiled faintly and said, "Some people still like to use the old way of thinking to deal with problems."
"Lao Li, thank you for your reminder, but these people can't cause any trouble."
Looking at the confident and calm Cheng Xuyuan, Li Tuo couldn't help but feel anxious for him.
Cheng Xuyuan is good in everything, but he is a little too confident in this matter. This kind of confidence is not a good thing.
As someone who has been through this, I want to let Cheng Xuyuan know the seriousness of this matter.
"Xuyuan, I know you are selfless and have a broad mind, but some people can't get things done, but they are good at messing things up."
"You can ignore these people, but you can't underestimate them."
"Because once you despise them, the consequences will be..."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Lao Li, I know."
"I'm trying to figure it out now, it should be ready soon."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's confident look, Li Tuo felt a lot more relieved.
Although he and Cheng Xuyuan had not been friends for very long, he knew that this young brother was not only resourceful but also very steady.
If he says there is a way to solve it, then there must be a way to solve it.
But he still warned: "Xuyuan, you must be careful!"
“This is not a small matter.”
"Especially now..."
Li Tuo did not say what was happening now, but the meaning of his words was very clear.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to respond, a male classmate came over hurriedly and said, "Xuyuan, two female classmates from the Normal University are here to see you."
"They are waiting for you in the library!"
Normal University, female classmates? Or two? Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan thought of Feng Xiaoxia.
The female classmate I knew from the Normal University seemed to be Feng Xiaoxia.
He immediately said to Li Tuo, "Lao Li, a friend is looking for me. If you don't have anything else to do, we can talk later."
"You really value women over friends."
"I came here eagerly to help you, but you threw me aside when you heard about the female students from Normal University. That's not okay." Li Tuo said with a smile, "I want to check Fang Yuqing to see if you are honest."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't take Li Tuo's words to heart.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know why Feng Xiaoxia came here, so he immediately headed towards the library.
While chatting with Li Tuo, Cheng Xuyuan came to the library and saw Feng Xiaoxia wearing a plaid skirt from a distance.
The graceful Feng Xiaoxia seemed to have grown a little taller, which made her more attractive to boys.
So many boys passing by the library couldn't help but look at her, and some bolder ones even went over to say hello.
Of course, more people just looked at it silently.
However, after Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Feng Xiaoxia twice, his attention shifted to the girl standing next to her.
Although this girl is much inferior to Feng Xiaoxia in appearance and height, her dressing style is much more fashionable than Feng Xiaoxia's.
Apart from anything else, skirts that don't cover the knees are extremely rare.
Therefore, many people will also focus their attention on her.
"Xiaoxia, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan walked over and greeted Feng Xiaoxia.
Ever since Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing got engaged, Feng Xiaoxia has had less contact with him.
This semester was the first time the two met.
Feng Xiaoxia looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who looked calm and composed, and she felt relieved.
She was still a little worried that Cheng Xuyuan would never recover because of this kind of thing.
Now seeing Cheng Xuyuan's peaceful appearance, she was sincerely relieved.
Deep down, she didn't think Cheng Xuyuan had done anything wrong.
"Why, I can't come to see you?" Feng Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly smiled and said, "We are good friends, you can naturally find me."
"If you don't come to see me for a long time, I will go to find you."
Hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Feng Xiaoxia snorted and said, "You're still talking about coming to find me? I haven't seen you this semester."
Having said this, she seemed to feel that her tone was wrong.
Because of the tone of voice just now, I felt like a nagging woman. How could I do that?
They already have a partner.
And I have friends around me.
She glanced at Li Tuo, then introduced him to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, let me introduce you. This is my classmate, and also an international student from Xiaorizi, Ueda Xiaoya."
"This time she came here because she has something to talk to you about."
She is an international student living a simple life. She wants to talk to me about something.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was puzzled, Ueda Xiaoya said in fluent Mandarin: "Mr. Cheng, it's really nice to meet you."
"I have always loved your cultural tours and stories about the Ming Dynasty."
“Especially your cultural tour, I’ve watched it three times.”
“Every time I watch it, I gain different insights and feelings.”
Hearing others praising his work so highly, Cheng Xuyuan had to show some humility no matter what their purpose was.
After a brief greeting, Cheng Xuyuan introduced Li Tuo who was beside him.
Although Feng Xiaoxia was not very interested in literature, she had heard of Li Tuo's name.
When she heard that the person standing next to Cheng Xuyuan was Li Tuo, she had some understanding of Cheng Xuyuan's current situation.
"Xiaoxia, you said that classmate Xiaoya wants to talk to me about something. What is it?" Cheng Xuyuan started talking about business.
Feng Xiaoxia said: "Let classmate Xiaoya tell you about this matter."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't force it and turned his gaze to Ueda Xiaoya.
Ueda Xiaoya bowed slightly to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Mr. Cheng, before I came here to study abroad, I worked at Jiying Publishing House for a year."
"Some time ago, I saw Mr. Cheng's Cultural Journey and I thought it was a rare good article, so I recommended your work to Jiying Publishing House."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cheng Xuyuan's face.
This is really the case of trying to plant flowers but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident and they grow into a shade.
I tried to contact Ming Pao myself, but to no avail. I never expected that Feng Xiaoxia would bring me such a partner.
I just don't know how they will pay the royalties.
This is the most important thing! (End of this chapter)
