Chapter 95 Yu Mo, you will be responsible for Xu Lingyun from now on
Li Yufei and Liang Xiaolu left the Chengnan District Cultural Center in disappointment! Although Cheng Xuyuan had a great chance of attending Yenching University and becoming an alumnus with Li Yufei, they came with high hopes but left disappointed.
"Yufei, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor." After hesitating for a while, Liang Xiaolu suddenly spoke.
Although Li Yufei was disappointed because she didn't see Cheng Xuyuan, she still agreed to her good friend's request generously: "There's no need for us to be polite. Just say whatever you want to say!"
"Do you still remember my cousin Liang Xiaofei?" Liang Xiaolu asked, "The one I met at our house last time?"
Li Yufei thought for a moment and said, "Isn't he tall? He seems to be working at... Beijing Film Studio?"
"Yes, it's him!" Liang Xiaolu said, "He helped us watch the internal movie a few days ago!"
"He met your second sister some time ago and wanted to treat her to a meal." Liang Xiaolu asked, "Can you help make an appointment?"
"Let me tell you, Liang Xiaofei is pretty good."
Li Yufei frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Lu, I'm afraid I can't help you with this right now."
"These past few days, my second sister has been very impatient for some reason. Anyone who talks to her about meeting her will be rebuked."
"Even my sister-in-law was criticized once, let alone me!"
At this point, she hesitated and said, "My second sister-in-law said that it might be related to my second brother-in-law who is about to divorce."
"Are your second brother-in-law and your second sister really just married but not together?" Liang Xiaolu leaned close to Li Yufei and whispered with a hint of curiosity.
Li Yufei said: "Yes, my second brother-in-law is a good person."
"When my second sister married him, she proposed to spend three years to cultivate their relationship, and he agreed without hesitation."
"It was for this reason that our family used all our connections to transfer him to the city, find him a job, and arrange for him to have a city hukou."
"However, my family doesn't want my second sister to spend her whole life with a rural person who has no common language with her."
Liang Xiaolu thought for a moment and said, "I agree with your family's idea. With your second sister's pretty face, if she gets married, her life will definitely be full of flowers and colorful clouds. It's really not a good match for her to live with a big and strong country man."
"I think someone like your second sister should be paired with a... a talented man."
"Like... a talented person like Xu Lingyun."
When Li Yufei heard what her good friend said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense." Liang Xiaolu said with a smile: "A talented man like Xu Lingyun should be paired with a beautiful woman like our Yu Fei, right?"
"Alas, the Weiming Lake, the talented men and beautiful women, it's a pity that I can't see such a beautiful scenery, what a pity."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to hit you!" Li Yufei said, pretending to be angry and wanting to hit Liang Xiaolu.
"Oh, Cheng Xuyuan, why are you back?" Liang Xiaolu suddenly exclaimed.
Li Yufei, who was rushing towards Liang Xiaolu desperately, stopped instantly. She gently lifted her hair and turned her head embarrassedly to look in the direction Liang Xiaolu was looking at.
But it was empty, there was no one there.
Not to mention Cheng Xuyuan! "I'm going to tear your mouth apart this time!" Li Yufei said as she rushed towards Liang Xiaolu again.
Compared to just now, she seemed even angrier now.
The fight between the two girls attracted a lot of people to watch.
After Liang Xiaolu begged for mercy twice, Li Yufei let her go.
"Yufei, what's the name of your second brother-in-law?" Liang Xiaolu asked casually after tidying up his slightly messy hair.
Li Yufei said: "I didn't notice."
"At home, everyone calls this second brother-in-law 'he'."
"The only time he came to my house, I was not at home and I didn't see him."
"Maybe there will be no chance to meet again in the future."
Liang Xiaolu nodded and said, "Once he and your second sister are divorced, there will be no possibility for you to interact with each other, and naturally there will be no chance for you to meet."
"Let's go to Xinhua Bookstore and see what new books there are."
Li Yufei sighed and said, "Okay."
The two girls chatted and laughed as they walked towards the Xinhua Bookstore. Shen Yumo, whom they were talking about, was looking at the letter in front of him with a melancholy face.
This letter is written to Cheng Xuyuan!
To be precise, this letter was written to Xu Lingyun by an unfamiliar female reader.
In the letter, the female reader not only wrote about her understanding and appreciation of "The Pursuit of Happyness", but also expressed her hope that one day she could have a discussion about literature with Xu Lingyun on the grassland at sunset.
Of course, this is written very subtly.
But I couldn't hide my admiration for her.
After seeing the letter, Shen Yumo felt a little uncomfortable.
Although... although she and Cheng Xuyuan agreed to divorce, the two of them have not yet obtained a divorce certificate.
This... this letter was obviously filled with ambiguity, and it made her eyes feel hot. This was really too much.
But she had to read it! As a new editor, one of her main tasks was to read readers' letters to the editorial department.
Most of these are readers' opinions on a certain work, and are also a standard that the editorial department refers to when assessing the quality of the work.
So this matter cannot be taken lightly and must be read letter by letter.
And for some things that are considered important, you need to reply.
Throwing the letter aside, Shen Yumo took out another one from the thick pile of letters next to his desk.
She glanced at the recipient and saw that it clearly said "Yanjing Literature and Art" for Xu Lingyun.
Seeing this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
But in the end, he tore it open with force and read it quickly.
One, two, three...
It took Shen Yumo an entire afternoon to finish reading only a small portion of the pile of letters.
She rubbed her sore eyes, feeling helpless.
Although most of these letters discuss works and literature, there are still some letters whose contents make people uncomfortable.
In particular, someone actually included a photo in the letter.
This is a bit too much! "Yu Mo, have you finished reading the readers' letters?" Zhang Dening walked in and asked with a smile.
Shen Yumo rolled his eyes at Zhang Dening and said, "Teacher Zhang, the summary meeting went well, didn't it?"
"Hehe, it's very good." Zhang Dening said with a smile: "Several old comrades said that the manuscript of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is very good. You haven't even seen it. Teacher Zou laughed from beginning to end."
At this point, she glanced at the letters piled on the table and asked, "Why are there still so many?"
"The gatekeeper just told me to go get the mail. He said there are more mail this time than last time, two large sacks."
Shen Yumo felt his head buzzing.
She had been reading letters for the whole afternoon and felt a headache. Now she hasn't finished reading all the letters and there are a lot more of them coming. When will this end?
"Teacher Zhang, can you please ask Teacher Zou to give me an assistant?"
“I just can’t see it myself.”
Looking at Shen Yumo who was full of resentment, Zhang Dening said helplessly: "Okay, I will mention it to Teacher Zou later."
"But I feel like it's useless to mention it. In the end, it's up to the two of us to decide."
At this point, she smiled and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this unhappy thing. I'll tell you something happy."
"We just reprinted this issue of Yenching Literature and Art. Xinhua Bookstore called again and said that more than half of the reprints were sold as soon as they were shipped out."
"I guess that's not enough. Let's print another 50,000 copies."
"This way, the sales of our Yanjing Literature and Art will hit a record high!"
"So, we should keep a close eye on Xu Lingyun in the future. If he has any new works, let him publish them here."
There didn't seem to be anything wrong in staring at Xu Lingyun.
Although the high sales volume nowadays can only bring praise to editors like them at most, who doesn’t want to achieve some results in their work?
"Yu Mo, Teacher Zou originally gave this matter to me."
"But I think you are the most suitable one."
"First, you were the first to discover The Pursuit of Happyness; second, you just started working, and it's time to show results."
"As long as we keep a close eye on Xu Lingyun, then the results will be easy to come by, right?"
Let me keep an eye on Xu Lingyun! Let me keep an eye on Cheng Xuyuan! This... this...
Shen Yumo looked at Zhang Dening, who looked as if he was wondering if he was loyal enough, and didn't know what to say.
In the end, she still tried to decline tactfully: "Teacher Zhang, I don't think I'm suitable for this matter."
"After all, I'm too young. If I... let me be in charge of Xu Lingyun, will Xu Lingyun feel that our editorial department doesn't value him enough?"
When she said the words "not enough attention", this quiet girl felt her face redden all the way to her ears.
What's wrong with me? How could I say such a thing! But, I absolutely cannot be responsible for Cheng Xuyuan!
If I become his editor-in-chief, then...
"Yu Mo, you can't underestimate yourself."
Zhang Dening smiled and said, "Although you have only been working for more than a month, your ability and attitude are obvious to all."
"When I suggested that you keep a close eye on Xu Lingyun, all of our old comrades agreed."
"What's more, he has no reason to be dissatisfied with you, a beautiful lady, being Xu Lingyun's editor."
"Let me tell you, Xu Lingyun is just a newcomer who has just joined the workforce. Although he has made some achievements, he won't be too cocky."
"Just rest assured."
"If you can't deal with him, I'm still here. This matter is settled."
At this point, Zhang Dening glanced at the sky and said, "By the way, Xu Lingyun has returned to his hometown. I heard that he may not be back until after the New Year."
"Write him a letter tomorrow, mainly introducing the attention that The Pursuit of Happyness has received. Also, ask him politely if he has any new works recently."
"That's it. I'm leaving now."
Without waiting for Shen Yumo to object, Zhang Dening quickly walked out the door.
Looking at the thick stack of letters on the desk, Shen Yumo's heart was full of hesitation.
Let her be Cheng Xuyuan's editor-in-chief! Let her follow Cheng Xuyuan closely! Let her write to Cheng Xuyuan and ask him politely if he has any new works?
If she didn't know that Zhang Dening didn't know about her relationship with Cheng Xuyuan, she would have doubted whether Zhang Dening was targeting her on purpose! Life is so incredible. As far as she is concerned, returning to the city means that she is completely separated from her previous life, and she has no relationship with Cheng Xuyuan, who is about to divorce.
But who could have thought that fate would bring her and Cheng Xuyuan together again? She didn't know how to define or judge them, or what to expect from their future relationship.
How should she write this letter to him? Thanks to the old uncle is me for the reward, and thanks to all the big guys for their support. The second chapter is here!
