Chapter 525 It's not easy for Xu Yuan either
If you want to have a big meal at Changzheng Restaurant, you basically don’t have to think about ordering dishes.
Since there aren't too many dishes prepared, just order one portion of each.
For example, in this meal, in addition to the braised beef, Cheng Xuyuan also ordered braised spare ribs and clear-boiled chicken, plus a few stir-fried dishes, which cost him a total of ten yuan. It can be said that he was very sincere.
Cheng Xuyuan ordered beer for himself and Li Tuo, while Feng Xiaoxia, Fang Yuqing and the other three girls each ordered a bottle of orange soda.
When chatting, it was basically Feng Xiaoxia and the other three who were chattering, while Cheng Xuyuan was chatting with Li Tuo.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan felt that it was fortunate that he had Li Tuo, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if he were alone.
While chatting with Cheng Xuyuan, Li Tuo secretly looked at Fang Yuqing and Feng Xiaoxia.
Although both girls had smiling faces and their expressions were full of smiles, he still felt that this meal was a little awkward.
As for what's awkward, it can only be understood but not expressed in words.
"Xuyuan, let's have a drink." Li Tuo raised the beer in the glass and said to Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan picked up the wine glass and drank it with Li Tuo without saying much.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked depressed, Li Tuo said with a smile: "Xuyuan, your crisis is over this time."
"You are truly a blessed person."
"But, too much of this blessing isn't a good thing!"
"So, you must control yourself!"
Cheng Xuyuan understood a lot from Li Tuo's words "control yourself".
He looked at the serious Li Tuo, smiled and said, "Thank you, Old Li, I know what to do."
"That's good." Li Tuo smiled and said, "You have finished writing about your cultural journey. What are you going to write recently?"
Cheng Xuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I am planning to write a long novel, but I haven't figured out how to write it yet."
When Li Tuo heard Cheng Xuyuan say that he wanted to write a novel, he immediately became interested.
He smiled and asked, "Do you have any writing direction?"
"When I was in my hometown, I often heard that in the past, if people from our area couldn't make ends meet, they would go to Kanto to try their luck!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I've heard a lot of stories about going to Guandong, so I want to write about it too."
"But I'm not too familiar with the Northeast, so I need to prepare as much information as possible about the area before I start writing."
Crossing Guandong! And it was in the past, Li Tuo's mind instantly arose the life scenes of that time.
He suddenly felt that what Cheng Xuyuan was going to write this time might have a big purpose.
"Xuyuan, I'll have to wait and see."
Cheng Xuyuan drank a glass of wine with Li Tuo and asked casually, "Old Li, what are your plans next?"
Although Li Tuo seemed very casual when he asked Cheng Xuyuan, his face suddenly turned red when Cheng Xuyuan asked him this.
The reason for this is that he has been busy lately with all kinds of miscellaneous things, and he has no writing plans at all during this period of time.
So when faced with Cheng Xuyuan's question, he really didn't know how to answer for a moment.
In the end, he could only laugh and say, "Haha, I haven't figured out what to write in recent times."
After hearing what Li Tuo said, Cheng Xuyuan was smart enough not to ask any further questions.
It would be embarrassing to ask again! After the meal, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing sent Feng Xiaoxia and the other person to the bus. As for Li Tuo, he went to chat with Chen Jianxun.
Looking at the bus going away, Fang Yuqing said with a touch of emotion: "Xuyuan, Xiaoxia helped a lot this time."
"Otherwise, I really don't know how to solve this matter."
Looking at Fang Yuqing, whose face was a little red, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "If you want to thank her, why not treat her to a meal after the matter is settled."
"Besides, this matter is mutually beneficial for us and Ueda Xiaoya."
"Let's go. We've eaten a lot. Let's go find a place to hang out."
Fang Yuqing smiled, took Cheng Xuyuan's hand, and walked towards the school gate.
In the past, when two people entered the school gate, they basically walked side by side. This was the first time they held hands.
So much so that when the two people entered the school gate, the two young gatekeepers from the security department widened their eyes.
These two students are quite bold. The school does not encourage dating.
However, after the two looked at each other, they simply chose not to see the situation.
When strolling around the school, the first choice was naturally the lakeside. The two sat in the shade by the lake and chatted for a while. When they were about to return to the dormitory, they saw Xu Simou walking towards them in a hurry.
"Xuyuan, I finally found you."
The moment he saw Cheng Xuyuan, Xu Simou's voice was filled with emotion.
There seemed to be a lot of resentment in that look.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Simou, what's the matter?"
Recently, Xu Simou has been trying to get an opportunity to study abroad, so he has spent most of his time studying.
However, studying abroad is not easy, especially for students in the history department.
The only good news for them is that Cheng Xuyuan is not planning to study abroad.
This eliminates a powerful opponent.
If Cheng Xuyuan goes abroad to study, then there is no doubt that the already limited number of places will be reduced by one.
Xu Simou looked at Cheng Xuyuan's smiling face and said in a deep voice, "Xuyuan, the teacher from the Academic Affairs Department just came to our dormitory and asked you to answer a phone call in twenty minutes."
"They said the call came from Hong Kong, and the surname seemed to be..."
Xu Simou couldn't remember it for a moment, so he was a little anxious.
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly asked, "Is your surname Dong?"
Xu Simou slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, the last name is Dong!"
"Xuyuan, please go over there quickly, don't keep the teacher waiting anxiously."
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the time and was about to speak when Fang Yuqing said to him, "I'm going to the library. Xuyuan, don't worry about me. Go answer the phone first and see if there is any news from Mr. Dong."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded and followed Xu Simou towards the nearby office.
Someone was already waiting in the office. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan coming, he smiled and said, "Xuyuan, Mr. Dong on the other end of the phone said he would call back in an hour. There are still seven or eight minutes left. Please wait a moment."
Cheng Xuyuan naturally expressed his gratitude for the help.
The waiting teacher asked with concern: "Xuyuan, Xiangjiang called, what's the matter?"
Cheng Xuyuan did not hide this and said, "I asked Mr. Dong Cheng to recommend me some other publishing houses in Xiaorizi to publish my book."
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, the teacher immediately understood.
He looked at the young student Cheng Xuyuan and couldn't help but gently gave him a thumbs up and said, "Xuyuan, no matter what people say outside, the teacher supports you."
It was exactly seven minutes later that the phone rang.
Cheng Xuyuan answered the phone, and Dong Cheng's voice came from it: "Mr. Cheng, when can you come to Hong Kong?"
"We're planning on having a book signing, it depends on your time."
The cooperation between Cheng Xuyuan and Ming Pao is quite pleasant.
Whether it is the things about the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xian, or the current cultural journey, Ming Pao has made a lot of money.
Mr. Cha was particularly delighted by the popularity of "Things about the Ming Dynasty".
Mr. Cha naturally likes Cheng Xuyuan, the god of wealth who can make money.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Dong, why don't we wait for the book signing event? I'm still in school now, so I should go during the summer vacation."
When Dong Cheng heard that Cheng Xuyuan was coming over during the summer vacation, he was speechless.
You are already a famous writer, why are you still staying in school?
You might as well just drop out of school?
There are writers who dropped out of school! Although Dong Cheng thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it, after all, he was using the school's phone number.
"Xuyuan, then I will welcome you during the summer vacation."
At this point, he continued, "I have good news for you. Your cultural journey has opened up a sales channel to Formosa."
“It should be available for sale in the next few days.”
"Believe me, this time, you may make a lot of money again."
A lot of Cheng Xuyuan's stories about the Ming Dynasty were sold in Taiwan, earning Cheng Xuyuan a lot of royalties.
Now that Culture Journey has entered Taiwan again, sales will definitely not be low.
After all, it was reprinted many times in the previous life.
"Editor-in-Chief Dong, this is really good news. You have worked hard. When I go to Hong Kong, I will treat you and Mr. Cha to a meal."
Cheng Xuyuan's words were very sincere.
"Xuyuan, you are too polite. You have entrusted the work to us, which shows your trust in us." Dong Cheng said with a smile, "We must live up to your trust in us."
"Mr. Cha said that when you come over, he will treat you to a nice meal."
"Let's go to Zhen Bao Fang to eat seafood."
After chatting with Dong Cheng for a while, Dong Cheng said, "Xuyuan, I recommended the sales of Culture Journey at Xiaorizi to several friends."
"The editor-in-chief of Xiaotan Publishing House is very interested in your cultural journey. After reading your book, he has sent someone to Yanjing."
"You can have a good talk with them."
When he heard that Xiaotan Publishing House had sent someone over, Cheng Xuyuan smiled even more.
He knew very well that all eggs should not be put in one basket, and when it comes to business, he has to negotiate with multiple partners.
So Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Dong, you helped me a lot this time."
"Thank you, it's just a small favor."
"What's more, recommending good works to our peers is also one of our jobs." Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Xuyuan, I hope you have a pleasant cooperation."
After chatting and laughing with Dong Cheng for a while, Cheng Xuyuan hung up the phone this time.
Xu Simou, who was standing nearby, asked, "Xuyuan, have you found a new publishing house?"
"Found it, and not just one." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
When Cheng Xuyuan answered the phone, Zuo Chengyilang was sitting in the hotel and said to the phone: "We are full of sincerity for this cooperation."
"But Mr. Cheng Xuyuan doesn't seem to be willing to accept our kindness!"
