Chapter 187: Blame Cheng Xuyuan's novel
"Lush"! This should be the novel that Cheng Xuyuan wrote for Liu Xinwu.
Chen Jianxun also heard about this matter.
He was still quite curious about what Cheng Xuyuan was writing, and since he had nothing to do, he just picked it up and took a look. In just three minutes, he was completely immersed in the story.
Although the story has just begun, the plot is full of ups and downs and fascinating!
Our undercover personnel were in the enemy's secret service agency, and then were sent to Nanjing to carry out the mission. During the process, their superiors were sacrificed...
Just when Chen Jianxun was fascinated by what was happening, Cheng Xuyuan walked over.
"Jianxun, are we leaving now?" Cheng Xuyuan saw Chen Jianxun flipping through his novel, but he didn't care.
After all, he writes novels for people to read.
Chen Jianxun and I have a good relationship, so it's normal for him to read the novel he wrote.
Chen Jianxun said: "Xuyuan, I'll watch for a while."
"Why don't you go eat first?"
Eating, won't it take half an hour? You came here in a hurry, wanting to drag me away as soon as you came, and now you want me to eat by myself.
Although he found it ridiculous, Cheng Xuyuan still obediently prepared to eat.
"Jianxun, how about we go get something to eat together?"
"I've already eaten, you go eat first." Chen Jianxun said without raising his head.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Xuyuan could only go eat by himself.
Because he had been writing until midnight yesterday, Cheng Xuyuan was a little hungry, so he immediately rode his bike to the bun shop he often went to.
At the bun shop, Cheng Xuyuan ordered five big buns, drank a bowl of egg soup, worked up a sweat, and immediately felt refreshed.
Although it was Li Tuo who took the initiative to invite me to his house this time.
But if you go to a friend's house empty-handed and don't take anything, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Cheng Xuyuan strolled around the street and in the end could only buy some snacks.
It’s not that Cheng Xuyuan was reluctant to spend money, but he had money but no tickets, so there were some things he could only look at but not buy.
When I got home, more than an hour had passed.
When he opened the door, he saw Chen Jianxun holding the manuscript in both hands with a serious expression. He just glanced at him and didn't care at all about his arrival.
"Jianxun, it's time for us to go." Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice.
Chen Jianxun said: "Xuyuan, don't worry, I'll watch for a while before leaving."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Jianxun who seemed obsessed and felt helpless.
He is well aware of the appeal of Insidious.
The first time he watched this TV series, as soon as the day's episode was over, he felt as if there were countless little claws in his head, making him unable to stop.
Although my novel is not as three-dimensional as the TV series, its appeal through language description is no less than that of the TV series.
Since Chen Jianxun wants to watch it longer, let him watch it longer.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't feel like writing anything else at the moment, so he just picked up a book and started reading.
In the blink of an eye, the time on the watch had already pointed to half past ten.
Although I don’t know how far away Li Tuo’s house is from me, it would be a bit rude if I don’t go as a guest at this time.
Cheng Xuyuan immediately said to Chen Jianxun: "Jianxun, it's already half past ten, we have to leave quickly!"
Chen Jianxun's eyes were still on the book.
Without even raising his head, he responded, "Xuyuan, don't worry. They haven't prepared the meal yet. We can just wait until it's ready and eat!"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Jianxun, who looked like he was saying "don't disturb me while I'm reading", and could only continue waiting.
Half past ten, eleven, half past eleven...
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to persuade Chen Jianxun to leave for the fifth time, there was a knock on the door suddenly from outside.
When Cheng Xuyuan opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties, with a dignified appearance and an imposing manner, standing at the door.
He was stunned when he saw Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan asked in a deep voice: "Who are you looking for?"
At this time, the man had already seen Chen Jianxun, who was reading a book. He seemed to understand something and asked, "Hello, are you Xu Lingyun?"
Cheng Xuyuan was slightly stunned.
Since he went to college, everyone calls him by his name more often, and now he is called Xu Lingyun less often.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I am Cheng Xuyuan."
"I'm Li Tuo." The man said with a smile, "I'm currently working at the Yanjing Literary Association."
Hearing this person's introduction, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said quickly, "Hello, Teacher Li."
"Don't call me teacher. As the saying goes, a wise man is a teacher. On the road of literature, we should say that you are the teacher."
At this point, Li Tuo turned to Chen Jianxun and said, "Jianxun, I asked you to invite Teacher Cheng, why haven't you invited him yet?"
Chen Jianxun glanced at Li Tuo and his eyes fell on the manuscript again.
He grumbled with a hint of impatience: "Why go to your house so early? The meal is not ready anyway."
"Besides, what's the point of eating."
"Just do your thing and don't disturb me while I'm reading."
Hearing this, Li Tuo was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at the manuscript in Chen Jianxun's hand, which he had already read more than half of, and his eyes fell on Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "Jianxun is looking at my new work."
When he heard the word "new work", Li Tuo was obviously stunned.
He is also an author, and one who has been writing for many years.
It is very clear how fast an author writes new works.
Generally speaking, it is considered very fast for an ordinary author to write a novel of more than 200,000 words a year.
In just a short period of time, Cheng Xuyuan not only wrote "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but also wrote "Desire".
Shouldn't it be time to rest and recuperate now? Why did he have a new work?
"Teacher Cheng, what is your new work about?"
Cheng Xuyuan asked Li Tuo to sit down and said with a smile: "I write about spy wars."
Li Tuo was stunned for a moment! In his imagination, what Cheng Xuyuan was going to write should be something like "The Pursuit of Happyness" or "Desire" that reflects real life.
But I didn't expect it to be a spy war.
He hesitated for a moment, but still said with a smile: "Teacher Cheng, the types of subjects you cover are really quite wide."
As he spoke, he came to Chen Jianxun again and said, "Jianxun, my wife has already prepared the meal. If you don't go now, it will get cold!"
Only then did Chen Jianxun look up at Li Tuo.
As if he had thought of something, he patted his head and said, "Lao Li, Xu Yuan's work is really well written."
“I couldn’t bear to put it down after seeing it.”
"How about we go over there later? I still have a hundred pages to finish."
Listening to Chen Jianxun's pleading, Li Tuo felt that Old Chen was really unreliable.
I asked him to treat the guests, but he actually asked to stay a little longer.
This is really outrageous! "Jianxun, let's take a look later. The food is ready. If you don't eat it, it will go bad." Li Tuo patted Chen Jianxun and said, "After dinner, come back with Xuyuan."
Because he felt guilty towards Li Tuo, Chen Jianxun could only temporarily put aside his desire to continue reading the novel.
He said with a hint of regret: "Then come back and watch again."
"Oh, this time it's all Xuyuan's fault. This novel is really well written."
"I was just planning to flip through it and take him to your house."
"But I didn't expect that I couldn't let it go after seeing it."
At this point, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xuyuan, let me ask you, how is Yu Zecheng going to steal the city defense map?"
Cheng Xuyuan was not unfamiliar with this. When he was about to answer, Chen Jianxun waved his hand and said, "Xuyuan, stop talking."
"I'd better watch it myself."
"If you tell me, it will disturb me."
Looking at Chen Jianxun who was in a dilemma, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said nothing.
And Li Tuo asked curiously: "Jianxun, is he really that attractive?"
Chen Jianxun said: "Liu Xinwu has found a treasure this time. Wow, this novel will definitely attract a lot of attention."
Li Tuo glanced at the manuscript on Cheng Xuyuan's desk and shook his head slightly.
He is an author and knows very well how important a manuscript is to an author.
Although he really wanted to read it, he could only do so after the manuscript was published.
"Let's go to my house for dinner."
Li Tuo's home is in a courtyard house in a small alley. Li Tuo and his wife occupy two rooms in the courtyard.
When the three people arrived, Li Tuo's daughter-in-law Zhang Nuanxin had already prepared the meal.
When she introduced Cheng Xuyuan, her expression was still a little distant.
This kind of alienation is very subtle, but people can feel it.
Chen Jianxun also noticed this, and he understood why Zhang Nuanxin was like this.
After all, it was already agreed upon, but Cheng Xuyuan didn't come and had to be invited by two people. Moreover, he arrived at this time, which inevitably made Zhang Nuanxin, who was gentle on the outside but tough on the inside, complain.
"Sister-in-law, this is all my fault."
"I read Xuyuan's new manuscript at his home, and I couldn't put it down. If Li Tuo hadn't come to find me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to finish it in one go!"
Chen Jianxun smiled and said, "Because of this, Xuyuan urged me four or five times."
Zhang Nuanxin was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it really that beautiful?"
"That's right. If Li Tuo hadn't called me, Xuyuan wouldn't have been able to drag me away!" At this point, Chen Jianxun said to Cheng Xuyuan, "I'll go back with you after dinner."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled, handed the snack in his hand to Zhang Nuanxin and said, "Sister-in-law, my book is not that good, it's just that Jianxun personally likes it more."
After listening to Chen Jianxun's explanation, Zhang Nuanxin immediately looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a higher opinion.
She smiled and said, "Xuyuan, don't be so modest. Although Jianxun looks very modest, he is actually quite proud."
"Since he said that, your book must be very interesting."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and did not continue the topic. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, on the way I asked Teacher Li why he asked me to come over, but he didn't tell me."
"Now that I'm home, can you tell me?"
Zhang Nuanxin glanced at Li Tuo and said, "Actually, there's nothing to hide. I'm asking for a friend to see if your "The Pursuit of Happyness" can be adapted into a movie."
The adaptation of "The Pursuit of Happyness" was something Cheng Xuyuan naturally had no objection to.
He smiled and said, "Of course it can be adapted into a movie, but I want to know, who is this friend of my sister-in-law?"
"It's Director Xie Jin. He called me a while ago and asked me to ask for him. If you agree, he can have someone start adapting the film."
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I have no objection to it being adapted into a movie, but I still want to adapt my own work."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Zhang Nuanxin hesitated for a moment: "Xuyuan, Director Xie still prefers to find a screenwriter he trusts to adapt the film."
