Chapter 617: Drink this bowl of chicken soup
Although Cheng Xuyuan only made simple preparations for this meeting, it was not a big problem for him.
Because Cheng Xuyuan himself has very rich experience in this area.
His mind is filled with various literary articles, and each of them can basically be used as a speech draft.
Therefore, at this meeting, Cheng Xuyuan's opening speech drew rounds of applause.
But after the speech, the next step is to ask questions.
Although Cheng Xuyuan felt confident about this, he still had to cheer up.
After all, no one can guess what the questioner is going to ask.
"Choose me, Cheng Xuyuan, I have a question for you?"
"Teacher Cheng, I would like to ask you about your writing skills?"
"Cheng Xuyuan, I saw your soldiers charging and I had some thoughts in my mind..."
Standing in the crowd, Feng Yu was already moved by Cheng Xuyuan's speech.
During the question-and-answer session, he raised his hand quickly.
At this time, he also had many questions and wanted to ask Cheng Xuyuan.
Faced with these enthusiastic students, Cheng Xuyuan could only randomly find someone to ask questions.
"Cheng Xuyuan, I am a literature lover. But after reading your Crossing the Guandong, I feel that there are quite a few flaws in your book..." The boy who was chosen first stood up and said.
As soon as he said this, the meeting room, which had been a little noisy, suddenly became quiet.
Many people looked at the person who asked the question with surprise.
But soon, everyone turned their attention back to Cheng Xuyuan.
After all, someone was finding fault with him.
Cheng Xuyuan never expected that the first questioner he met this time would point out the mistakes in his work.
But he was not afraid of this.
He smiled and said, "This student raised a very good question. I think that every work actually has some shortcomings."
“The same is true for my work.”
"But I think we should look at the flaws you mentioned dialectically..."
Cheng Xuyuan's words were not only humble, but also refuted the views of the person who asked the question.
And the rebuttal was well-reasoned! Feng Yu stood in the crowd, listening to Cheng Xuyuan's words, and couldn't help but admire him a little more.
Although he also felt that the person who suggested that there were problems with crossing Guandong was nitpicking.
But he felt that if he were faced with such a question, he would definitely not be able to respond as easily as Cheng Xuyuan did.
Cheng Xuyuan's answer convinced him from the bottom of his heart.
It was precisely because of this conviction that he was eager to ask Cheng Xuyuan some questions.
So, he tried to stretch his hands high, trying to let Cheng Xuyuan see him.
But unfortunately, he was not selected.
When the staff who selected the questioners said that they would select the last person to communicate with, Feng Yu felt a little desperate.
He felt that this time, he had no chance.
But he still quickly stretched out his arms, hoping to be chosen once.
"Student, do you have any questions?"
Hearing the host's clear voice, Feng Yu knew that he had no chance this time.
Just as he was about to retract his arms in disappointment, he suddenly noticed that many eyes were looking at him.
Not only were there these looks, but someone also said, "Brother, it's your turn to ask."
"Brother, can you help me ask about my novel writing techniques..."
"Ask a question quickly!"
After hearing these words, Feng Yu finally realized that he was the one chosen to ask the question this time.
He was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"Cheng Xuyuan, I'm very bad at math. Do you think I can get into college?" Feng Yu asked Cheng Xuyuan loudly in excitement.
Cheng Xuyuan had actually seen Feng Yu a long time ago.
Seeing that face, which was full of youthfulness compared to later generations, his heart was filled with emotion.
In fact, it was no coincidence that he asked Feng Yu to ask questions.
But a thought suddenly came to his mind, that is, he wanted to see what this person was going to ask him.
But I didn't expect that the person asking was actually about getting into college.
His question surprised Cheng Xuyuan a little.
But what was even more surprising was the students in the lecture hall.
These students are basically college students.
Although there are some, they are not from our school.
But they are all college students.
Basically, you don’t have to worry about whether you can get into university.
When they heard the last question was asked by a high school student, they were stunned for a moment.
While Cheng Xuyuan was laughing, he also thought about this person's college entrance examination results.
He smiled and said, "My math is very bad, so I'll work hard to improve it."
"I believe that as long as I work hard, my math scores will improve."
"I believe that as long as we set a goal and stick to it, we will achieve it."
“Then we will definitely achieve our goal.”
"Where there is a will, there is a way. The 120 Qin passes finally belong to Chu. Heaven will reward those who work hard. Three thousand Yue troops can conquer Wu!"
Cheng Xuyuan's answer made Feng Yu's eyes light up.
Because of his poor math grades, his family thought it would be difficult for him to get into college.
I advised him to give up and go to work.
But he was reluctant to give up on this matter.
Cheng Xuyuan's words made his heart feel like a flame was burning.
I can get into college too!
I was also able to improve my math grades.
However, just when Feng Yu was feeling excited, the staff member who hosted the meeting directly announced the end of the meeting.
Cheng Xuyuan, accompanied by several members of the literature club, walked out of the meeting room.
Although many students were reluctant to see him go, Cheng Xuyuan still walked out quickly accompanied by staff.
Leaving the lecture hall, in a conference room of Zhejiang University, several middle-aged people were waiting for Cheng Xuyuan.
They are all teachers in the school, and some are experts in their subjects. They are waiting here hoping to have a good chat with Cheng Xuyuan.
After careful consideration, Cheng Xuyuan agreed to this invitation.
In addition to the exchange of ideas on writing, Cheng Xuyuan was also invited to have a meal here.
When we got back to the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Just when Cheng Xuyuan was about to return to his residence to have a good rest, he saw Wang Yian and a middle-aged man walking towards him.
"Cheng Xuyuan, why did you come back just now? Editor-in-Chief Li has been waiting for you for almost two hours." Wang Yian said with a hint of complaint in his voice when he saw Cheng Xuyuan.
Of course, this was not a complaint, but a statement to Cheng Xuyuan.
In other words, they have been waiting for quite some time.
Cheng Xuyuan understood what Wang Yian meant, so he was not angry.
After greeting Wang Yian, his eyes fell on Editor-in-Chief Li.
He thought Editor-in-Chief Li looked familiar, but he couldn't figure out who he was for a moment.
Fortunately, after he said hello, Wang Yian introduced the identity of Editor-in-Chief Li, who is the head of Huacheng Magazine.
After hearing this introduction, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly understood.
After all, it took only two or three years to increase Huacheng's sales almost tenfold.
"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Li, I have heard of your great name for a long time." Cheng Xuyuan said politely.
Editor-in-Chief Li shook Cheng Xuyuan's hand and said with a smile, "Xuyuan, I must have heard of you for a long time."
"Haha, I asked Yian to introduce me this time because I wanted to have a good chat with you, Xuyuan."
Cheng Xuyuan would naturally not refuse such an invitation. After all, the other party did not mention any other purpose, he just wanted to chat.
At this time, Fang Yuqing and Wang Yian started chatting, and it was obvious that the two of them left the chat space to Cheng Xuyuan and Editor-in-Chief Li.
"Xuyuan, I have read most of your works."
"To be honest, I admire you very much." Editor-in-Chief Li said solemnly, "Especially your Crossing the Guandong, I even read it twice in one go."
“It’s really well written.”
He started praising himself right away, but Cheng Xuyuan knew that he was definitely not praising himself.
He was not in a hurry and just exchanged a few words with Editor-in-Chief Li with a smile.
After three or four minutes of polite words, Editor-in-Chief Li smiled and said, "Xuyuan, I came here this time to ask you for an article."
"As long as it's Xuyuan's new work, we will definitely pay you the highest price."
Cheng Xuyuan readily accepted Editor-in-Chief Li's invitation.
He was not just dealing with it, because he knew that the development of Huacheng Magazine would be very good in the future.
After waving goodbye to Editor-in-Chief Li, Fang Yuqing went back to her residence.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was about to wave goodbye to Wang Yian, he heard Wang Yian say, "Cheng Xuyuan, when I came here this time, I went to see Yu Mo."
"Little An An has grown a lot taller in the past two days."
Hearing Wang Yian's sentiment, Cheng Xuyuan felt inexplicably touched.
He knew in his heart that Wang Yian was telling him all this at this time to actually convey news about Shen Yumo to him.
He smiled and said, "Has little An An been naughty these past two days?"
"When I'm done with this period of time, I'll go to the East China Sea to take a look."
Wang Yian looked at Cheng Xuyuan who had a calm expression, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was about to leave, Wang Yian suddenly asked, "I heard that you and Fang Yuqing have already obtained a marriage certificate, so that's why you live together?"
Cheng Xuyuan didn't expect that Wang Yian would actually ask this question.
However, he was not going to hide this matter.
After all, many people know about it now.
He said calmly: "Yes, isn't it almost graduation time? Yuqing and I got a marriage certificate first."
Wang Yian was initially skeptical about the news.
Now hearing Cheng Xuyuan's response, I immediately knew that it was true.
From a friend's perspective, she really hopes that Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo can reconcile.
But now that Cheng Xuyuan is married, the chances of reconciliation are probably slim.
"You...does Yu Mo know about your marriage?" After a slight hesitation, Wang Yian asked Cheng Xuyuan again.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "I haven't officially told Yu Mo yet, let's talk about it when we meet."
Wang Yian looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who had a peaceful expression, and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only say: "Fang Yuqing has a good personality, I think she is a good match for you."
"But you still have to deal with it..."
Wang Yian didn’t say what was dealt with in the end and just left.
Looking at Wang Yian leaving, Cheng Xuyuan wanted to give him some advice, but in the end, he said nothing.
The following days were somewhat routine for Cheng Xuyuan.
He had to attend seminars, stroll around various tourist attractions with Fang Yuqing, and also attend several meet-and-greets he had promised.
After all these things were completed, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing, who was somewhat reluctant to leave, flew back to Yanjing.
When sending Fang Yuqing back to Shijingshan, Cheng Xuyuan met Meng Dezhi who was visiting Shijingshan.
Cheng Xuyuan has always been very respectful to Meng Dezhi.
This time is no exception.
Meng Dezhi seemed to no longer care about the fact that the two of them got their marriage certificate, and he even joked with Cheng Xuyuan while eating.
But when leaving Fang's house, Meng Dezhi said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, you and Fang Yuqing have already obtained the marriage certificate, so it's time to think about what to do with the wedding."
"I think, since summer vacation is about to start, you can ask your parents to come over and talk about the wedding."
"This matter cannot be delayed any longer."
Cheng Xuyuan has also thought about this issue.
When Meng Dezhi proposed this, he smiled and said, "Uncle, I am also going to contact my parents after I go back to see when they are free to come to Yanjing."
Meng Dezhijian saw Cheng Xuyuan's cooperation and smiled, "Well, this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later."
"The wedding can be later, but this, it's not suitable to be later."
At this point, he suddenly glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Your reputation is extraordinary now. I think the more so, the more you should pay more attention to your image."
There are many implications hidden in Meng Dezhi's note.
Cheng Xuyuan understood what these meant.
Old Meng was warning himself not to have anything to do with Shen Yumo.
However, as long as Meng Dezhi didn't say it clearly, he would never admit it.
"Don't worry, uncle. I will pay attention to my own image."
"Also, uncle, I have a friend who has been working at the district cultural center. He has very good abilities..."
Cheng Xuyuan quickly changed the subject. What he said could actually be done by himself without Meng Dezhi's involvement.
But at this time, it became a tool for him to change the subject.
Meng Dezhi looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a serious expression. Although he understood what Cheng Xuyuan meant, he did not mention Shen Yumo's issue in the end.
The two chatted all the way, and after sending Meng Dezhi home, Cheng Xuyuan began to think about the wedding.
It seems that the matter of bringing my parents over can no longer be delayed.
After all, he and Fang Yuqing had even obtained their marriage certificate.
