Chapter 178: Fame brings trouble
After seeing off Sister Chen, Cheng Xuyuan's forehead was covered with sweat.
Although the chicken soup from his previous life had managed to instil such a warm-hearted Sister Chen into a state of confusion, he himself was also under a lot of pressure!
After all, the attack power of this big sister level is extremely strong.
In order to relax his nerves, Cheng Xuyuan decided to take a good rest.
However, just as he arrived at the library and was reading leisurely, Chen Jianxun came to him.
"Jianxun, is there something wrong?" Cheng Xuyuan asked quietly after glancing at the classmates who were reading seriously around him.
Chen Jianxun replied in a low voice: "It's about the literature club. We wrote a letter to an old schoolmate, and he wrote back to congratulate us on rebuilding the literature club."
"So we reported this to the higher-ups, and they agreed that we should rebuild the literature club in the near future."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "This is a good thing!"
Chen Jianxun said: "We have discussed that we need to invite some writers and editors to rebuild the literary club."
"We can invite some people, but with some, we don't have a very deep relationship!"
"But you are different. You are very popular now and have a great reputation. So there are a few people I hope you can help invite."
Cheng Xuyuan did not refuse this matter.
After all, he is the honorary president now. Even if he is not in charge of things, he still needs to try his best on some work.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Make a list of the people you want to invite, and I'll see how many I can invite."
Seeing that Cheng Xuyuan agreed so readily, Chen Jianxun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Cheng Xuyuan would become a hands-off boss. Cheng Xuyuan's invitation was much more powerful than theirs.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan is very popular now.
The publication of the second half of "Desire" brought Cheng Xuyuan's reputation to a new level. Now when young people who like literature get together, they will bring up "Desire" and criticize it.
But being scolded is also a kind of reputation!
Most people don't want to be scolded to this level!
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Jianxun, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said with a smile: "Anything else?"
"One more thing."
Chen Jianxun said: "The school also gave strong support to the establishment of the literature club this time."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't say anything. From Chen Jianxun's words, he felt that this old man had other intentions, so he just listened to him continue.
"Therefore, there is a vice-president in the school who will also serve as our honorary president. This will be more conducive to the work of our literature club."
After saying this, Chen Jianxun looked at Cheng Xuyuan with an embarrassed expression.
After hearing what Chen Jianxun said, Cheng Xuyuan knew why Chen Jianxun was hesitant and looked embarrassed.
Because he had promised the title of honorary president when he invited Cheng Xuyuan, and he felt a little embarrassed to bring it up again now.
As long as it doesn't involve money, Cheng Xuyuan doesn't care about false reputation.
He smiled and said, "Jianxun, it's not easy to restore the literature club. Everything should be done to benefit the development of the literature club!"
"This is a good thing. I fully support it. You don't have to feel embarrassed about it."
"Besides, as a student, I should respect my teachers."
"Don't worry, even if I'm not the honorary president, I will do my best to support you all."
Chen Jianxun quickly waved his hands and said, "Xuyuan, you misunderstood. What I meant was that our literature club will have two honorary presidents."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard Chen Jianxun say this, he couldn't help but laugh.
There are two honorary presidents, what's wrong with that? Putting him together with the vice-president is also a kind of affirmation of him.
"Jianxun, I fully support this matter." Cheng Xuyuan patted Chen Jianxun on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan calm and unconcerned, Chen Jianxun felt more at ease.
He was not an ordinary student. Before going to college, he worked in a factory for ten years.
He has seen too many people fighting to the point of bloodshed for a little fame and fortune.
However, Cheng Xuyuan remained very calm in the face of this kind of thing, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Just because of this mentality, I am much more insightful than my peers.
"Thank you, Xuyuan. I won't say anything else. I'll treat you to a meal later." Chen Jianxun has been working for many years and also went to school with pay.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and joked, "Okay, then we'll go to the Long March Canteen."
Just when Chen Jianxun was about to leave, Hou Shimao walked in with a smile on his face.
Compared with some time ago, Hou Shimao at this time seemed more energetic and high-spirited.
He smiled and greeted Cheng Xuyuan, then stood aside waiting for Cheng Xuyuan and Chen Jianxun to finish their conversation.
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the classmates around him who were studying hard, put down his book helplessly, and walked out of the library.
Although the conversation with Chen Jianxun just now was quiet, it also affected other people's studies.
Now Hou Shimao is here again. If we continue to whisper, the other students will probably be dissatisfied.
Chen Jianxun and Cheng Xuyuan came out of the library together and saw a lot of students sitting in groups of three or four on the grass in front of the library, some reading books and some discussing some issues.
This kind of situation really makes people yearn for it.
"Old Hou, why are you here?" Cheng Xuyuan greeted Shi Mao with a smile as he walked out of the door.
Hou Shimao smiled and said, "Teacher Cheng, I came here specially to give you the tickets."
"'The Pursuit of Happiness' has been rehearsed. Dean Yu and Teacher Lan are going to have a trial performance first, so that everyone can give their opinions first."
"Ms. Lan sent me specifically to deliver the ticket to you."
As he spoke, Hou Shimao handed over five thin pieces of paper with red stamps on them.
Although the piece of paper is thin, it is the ticket for the drama of the People's Art Theatre at that time, not to mention that it is a ticket for the trial performance of "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Cheng Xuyuan took the drama ticket, took a look at it, and thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Lao Hou, for making you come all the way here."
"Okay, I'll definitely go and take a look then."
Hou Shimao said, "Teacher Cheng, if it weren't for you, I would never have been able to perform in this play, let alone be seconded by the People's Art Theatre now."
"If you want to say thank you for giving me a ticket, then I don't know what to say!"
Cheng Xuyuan patted Hou Shimao on the shoulder and said, "Old Hou, the reason you can stay here is because of your own strength. It has nothing to do with me."
“I just recommended it.”
"It's gold. You can't hide it anyway."
"There will always be a day to shine."
Although Hou Shimao kept nodding his head at Cheng Xuyuan's words, he did not agree with them in his heart.
He felt like he was a piece of gold, but without Teacher Cheng's recommendation, he felt that he would never be able to play the leading role in the drama "The Pursuit of Happyness" no matter what.
Gold is important, but if it is buried in the sand and no one finds it, it is of no use.
Although Mr. Cheng is young, he has good manners and is not arrogant. This is really rare.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for giving me the opportunity. I will definitely work harder."
"By the way, this is some rock tea from our area that my old colleague brought me. You can try it." While speaking, Hou Shimao took out a paper bag from his bag.
Although he said it was brought by a colleague, Cheng Xuyuan knew that it was definitely sent by Hou Shimao specifically.
But Hou Shimao had already said so, and in front of Chen Jianxun, Cheng Xuyuan could only say, "Then I'll try it. Thank you, Old Hou."
"It's almost noon now, let's eat together."
"I also want to ask you about the rehearsal of "The Pursuit of Happyness"."
Hou Shimao is very smart. Cheng Xuyuan is a screenwriter, and he is asking about the arrangement of a drama. He is looking for an excuse to keep him for a meal.
I took out half a pound of tea and Cheng Xuyuan treated me to a meal. This was also a form of reciprocity.
Although he felt that Teacher Cheng was a bit too polite, he couldn't refuse. After all, Cheng Xuyuan had also found a reason.
Moreover, he sincerely hopes to get closer to Teacher Cheng.
After all, there are already rumors from the People's Art Theatre that they are preparing to adapt Cheng Xuyuan's new work "Desire".
Although it is a bit difficult for him to play Song Dacheng, Wang Husheng still feels that there is hope for him.
Although Wang Husheng is a character that is criticized by others, as an actor, who cares whether the character is criticized or not? "Then I will take advantage of Teacher Cheng for once."
Cheng Xuyuan glanced at Chen Jianxun, who was standing aside and didn't seem to be ready to leave, and said, "Jianxun, it's time to eat, let's go eat together."
Chen Jianxun was not embarrassed and said, "Xuyuan, I'll just take advantage of Brother Hou."
The three of them chatted and laughed, and walked towards the southwest gate of Yenching University.
When leaving the school gate, Chen Jianxun suddenly slapped his head and said, "Xuyuan, I suddenly thought of something."
"Li Tuo found me yesterday and said he wanted to treat you to dinner on Sunday."
Li Tuo!
Cheng Xuyuan's mind raced and he immediately figured out who this person was.
In the literary and artistic circles of Yenching, this person seems to be very active in the future and is good at making friends.
Although Cheng Xuyuan had never dealt with this person before, since he took the initiative to greet him and invite him to dinner, Cheng Xuyuan naturally would not refuse.
After all, more friends mean more paths.
"Did Li Tuo say anything?"
Chen Jianxun smiled and said, "He didn't say it, but from what he said, it seems like a good thing."
"By the way, this time we're going to have dinner at his house. How about Saturday night?"
Cheng Xuyuan shook his head and said, "Jianxun, how about Sunday morning? I have something to do on Saturday night."
Chen Jianxun nodded to show his understanding. After all, it was normal for Cheng Xuyuan to be busy when "Desire" was at its peak.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and then came to the Long March canteen.
There were many people coming to the Changzheng canteen to eat, and the arrival of the three people attracted a lot of people's attention.
Not to mention that Chen Jianxun himself is a person who likes to make friends, Cheng Xuyuan is even more famous in the entire Yenching University, and although Hou Shimao is not from Yenching University, he is indeed outstanding in appearance.
Cheng Xuyuan went to the counter and ordered a dish of beef with coriander and another dish of braised liver tips. Seeing that there was pickled fish in the cooked food area, Cheng Xuyuan ordered one, and then ordered a dish of stir-fried meat with garlic sprouts.
The meal, which included four dishes and a bowl of noodles for each person, cost Cheng Xuyuan more than five yuan. The beef and pickled fish were mainly expensive.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan bought the meal and walked towards the seats where Chen Jianxun and his partner were sitting, he heard someone greet him, "Xu Lingyun, do you still remember me?"
Hearing this greeting, Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment.
He turned his head to look at the girl and found that she looked familiar. Before he could respond, the young girl took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Liang Xiaolu. I was beside you when you were writing poems for Li Yufei."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Changzheng canteen suddenly became quiet.
This is the first update today, it’s a little late, please support me!
