Chapter 251 How could it be Cheng Xuyuan
Shen Yumo didn't think there was anything wrong with Zou Yanlai's decision.
It can be said that she strongly agreed with Zou Yan's decision.
Shen Yumo was one of the first to read Cheng Xuyuan's new work.
Moreover, she has already memorized all of Cheng Xuyuan's works.
Before Cheng Xuyuan proposed holding a symposium on his works, she had a feeling that these works of Cheng Xuyuan could be brought together as a series to hold a symposium on his works.
However, she is still a newcomer in "Yanjing Literature and Art", so she does not have much say in such matters.
What's more, she has always been very low-key and didn't say this out loud.
Now that Cheng Xuyuan took the initiative to propose it and even said the word "reflection", she felt that they shared the same views as Cheng Xuyuan.
While she had this feeling in her heart, she also felt more admiration for Cheng Xuyuan.
Reflection! These two words are so appropriate!
After comforting Zhang Dening who was still a little unwilling, Shen Yumo began to review the manuscripts. With the establishment of the manuscript fee system, more and more people are submitting their manuscripts.
However, having more people submitting works does not mean there will be more good works.
After all, there are more newcomers among the investors.
Shen Yumo would basically give a reply to the manuscripts of these newcomers as long as he found that there was potential for training.
Although it’s not much, it’s encouraging.
The day's work ended with the careful review. Zhang Dening, who had returned to normal, took her home from get off work chatting and laughing.
"In the future, maybe our editorial department won't be so relaxed." On the way home, Zhang Dening suddenly sighed.
Shen Yumo was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yumo no longer had any demands on her relationship with Cheng Xuyuan, but she was still very concerned about the changes in her unit.
Zhang Dening said: "I heard that the higher-ups are going to send a person in charge to our editorial department."
"Really?" Shen Yumo had been working at Yenching Literature and Art for such a long time that he was already very familiar with the situation of the magazine.
In the current "Yenching Literature and Art", the top leader is called "person in charge", but there has been no person in charge in recent times.
At work, it has always been Zou Yanlai and others who have been discussing and pushing forward.
"Have you heard who it is?" Shen Yumo asked in a low voice.
Zhang Dening said: "I don't know who it is yet, but I heard it's coming soon."
The two chatted and laughed, and then went their separate ways home.
Shen Yumo rode his bicycle back to the white building. Although the distance was not long, he still broke out in a sweat.
No one can do anything about this situation. After all, this is what August in Yanjing is like.
"Yu Mo is back!"
"Yumo, do you have any good works in the next issue of Yanjing Literature and Art?"
"Hello, Sister Yumo!"
…
There aren't many residents in the Little White Building, so most of them know each other. In this hot weather, many people are still used to staying in the shade in front of the building to cool off.
With Shen Yumo's return, the neighbors gradually got to know her, so more people came to greet her.
Responding to neighbors' greetings along the way, Shen Yumo returned home.
Mother Li Xueling was cooking, but father Shen Yunliang had not come home yet.
Unlike my job and others, my father's job is quite busy, so the time he returns home is usually uncertain.
"Yu Mo, I have something I want to ask you."
My sister-in-law Ma Xiaoli was picking vegetables. When she saw Shen Yumo, she smiled and said.
Shen Yumo still respects his second sister-in-law very much.
She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"I heard today that an overseas student wanted to exchange a house in an overseas Chinese apartment for the copyright of a book. Did you know about this?"
Ma Xiaoli's words surprised Shen Yumo.
The first reaction in her mind was, is there such a bizarre thing?
Maybe this is just a rumor.
Shen Yumo had also heard about the houses in the Overseas Chinese Apartments.
I heard that the houses there are only sold to overseas Chinese, and the prices are ridiculously high.
How is it possible to exchange a house for the copyright of a book?
Shen Yumo said: "Sister-in-law, where did you hear this news? It can't be false, right?"
"It came from the real estate department. I heard that one of their older sisters heard it with her own ears."
Ma Xiaoli sighed repeatedly: "I wish I could write a book like this someday!"
Shen Yumo chuckled but didn't respond.
After all, this sister-in-law is daydreaming.
Ma Xiaoli seemed to know that what she said was impossible.
So she said to Shen Yumo: "As for our family, there is no hope for me, but there is still hope for you and Yufei."
"After all, one of you is from the Chinese Department of Yenching University, and the other is an editor."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's unlikely for me either."
“Editors are not authors.”
Just as the two were chatting and laughing, Li Yufei, wearing a floral dress, pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing her little daughter, Li Xueling glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Where have you been? You haven't been home all day!"
"I'm warning you, if you run around again, I'll lock you up!"
Li Yufei heard her mother's complaints and said coquettishly with a smile: "Oh, Mom, I went to play with Xiaolu and the others. They just finished the college entrance examination and were very excited. I accidentally played for a little longer!"
As she spoke, Li Yufei turned to Shen Yumo and Ma Xiaoli and said, "Sister-in-law, sister, what are you discussing?"
Shen Yumo didn't say anything, but Ma Xiaoli smiled and said, "We are talking about the possibility that you may have the opportunity to earn a house by writing a book in the future!"
"What's going on? Did any writer get a house?" Li Yufei asked with a smile while changing her shoes.
Ma Xiaoli smiled and said, "That's not the case."
"There is a homeowner of an Overseas Chinese Apartment who is planning to exchange a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment for the copyright of a book."
“I told your sister that you two are the only two in our family who have hope, and we will encounter this kind of thing in the future.”
"Your brother and I, there's no hope for us!"
After hearing what Ma Xiaoli said, Li Yufei immediately became interested.
"Sister-in-law, do you know what book is so popular?"
Ma Xiaoli shook her head and said, "I don't know. I just heard about it, but I don't know who it was."
Li Yufei stretched out her snow-white fingers and said, "Actually, this can be counted."
“There are many writers nowadays, but not many of them can be called famous.”
"I think, apart from those old gentlemen, the most likely person is..."
Li Yufei mentioned four or five names in one breath, each of which was well-known. Shen Yumo had seen the works of all these people.
At this moment, Li Yufei paused, as if she had finished speaking, but after a pause, she suddenly said: "In fact, it is not impossible for him."
Li Yufei did not say the name of this "he", but Shen Yumo knew who his sister was talking about.
Ma Xiaoli also knew who Li Yufei was talking about. She was impressed that this little sister was really brave enough to say that, and said, "Yufei, stop talking nonsense."
"Although he is quite famous now, he is still far behind those old gentlemen."
Shen Yumo didn't say anything. She couldn't believe that this was true, so she naturally wouldn't discuss whether Cheng Xuyuan might be the person.
People who got off work went home one after another.
Shen Yulin, Shen Yushu...
The family sat together, still talking about exchanging the house for copyright.
Shen Yushu also heard about this matter, but he didn't know what the book was.
Because of this, it was not spread.
"Yufei, go downstairs and check. Why hasn't your father come home yet?" Li Xueling, who had already prepared dinner, glanced at the clock on the table in the living room and said to Li Yufei.
Li Yufei agreed and prepared to go out.
But just as she opened the door, she saw Shen Yunliang walk in with a serious expression.
"Why did you come back so late?" Li Xueling asked a little dissatisfied.
Shen Yunliang said: "There was something urgent so I had a meeting."
After helping Shen Yunliang take the bag and diligently bringing her father a pair of slippers to wear at home, Li Yufei said, "Dad, just now my eldest brother and sister-in-law said that someone wants to exchange a house in Huaqiao Apartment for the copyright of a book. Is that true?"
When he heard Li Yufei's question, even Shen Yulin, who didn't care about such things, widened his eyes.
They had just discussed this matter, and although they felt that it might be true, they didn't know who the lucky person was.
Now that Dad is back, maybe he knows who this person is.
Shen Yunliang hesitated for a moment, but still said in a deep voice: "This matter is true."
"We just had a meeting and we talked about this."
"Dad, whose book is it that is so favored by others?" The person asking the question was Li Yufei. She was always the most lively one at home.
Looking at his little daughter whose eyes were full of expectation, Shen Yunliang hesitated and said, "It's "Things about the Ming Dynasty."
Who wrote "Things about the Ming Dynasty" is no longer a secret in the Shen family.
When they heard the name of this book, everyone in the Shen family fell silent.
They had heard that Cheng Xuyuan was planning to buy a house, and at that time they thought that Cheng Xuyuan was a little too ambitious.
However, no one would have thought that the person for whom the landlord had exchanged copyright for the house was actually Cheng Xuyuan.
Ma Xiaoli and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
In the end, it was Li Yufei who spoke up. She asked with a hint of trepidation, "Dad, have you changed it?"
"It hasn't been changed yet." Shen Yunliang said lightly.
"What's the matter? Does the person who wants the copyright think that the book is not finished yet?" Li Yufei asked anxiously.
Shen Yunliang shook his head and said, "No, it's because Cheng Xuyuan doesn't want to change."
“He would rather just buy the house.”
If exchanging the copyright of a book for a house in the Overseas Chinese Apartment is enviable, then Cheng Xuyuan's refusal was beyond everyone's expectations.
For a moment, everyone in the Shen family was speechless.
They really couldn't believe what they heard was real.
"Okay, stop worrying about other people's business and let's eat." Li Xueling suddenly spoke, breaking the strange atmosphere at home.
Following Li Xueling's words, Li Yufei and others became busy again, some holding bowls and some holding chopsticks.
However, the Shen family had this meal in an extremely peaceful manner.
Almost everyone was a little absent-minded.
