Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 461 Do you want to sneak in for a meeting?
Knowing that Hu Hao can also play tricks, Yu Hua and the others all said that going to Yanjing this time would not be too boring.

In fact, going to participate in the representative meeting this time, I will definitely meet many people, both acquaintances and strangers.

Even if they want to play cards, there are a lot of people accompanying them, which round will Hu Hao play.

Yu Dong said with a smile: "Leave Xiao Hu alone, this time he went to Yanjing with a mission, so how can he have time to play cards with you?"

Mo Yan asked curiously, "What mission did Xiao Hu have this time?"

Hu Hao replied: "Isn't our company's annual meeting going to start this year? I just happened to go to Yanjing, so I'll send them the invitation letter by the way."

"Oh, that's it."

About the annual meeting, Mo Yan and the others had heard Yu Dong mention it before, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, they are all in Jinling, so they can just go there when the time comes.

"I heard that the scale this time is bigger than last year?" Su Tong asked.

"Well, that's how it was planned. Because the preparations have started a long time ago, all aspects are more organized than last year. In addition to inviting more guests this time, most of the employees from Deep Space China will participate. Many of my colleagues will also come.”

"Some people will come from Deep Space America?" Mo Yan was a little surprised: "In this case, the cost is not small."

"Yes." Hu Hao nodded and smiled, "We are discussing in private that the boss is rich this time."

"Well, Jimmy is really generous this time. Not to mention too much, even if only 30 to [-] people come, the money spent on the employees alone will be hundreds of thousands." Yu Hua said with emotion.

"Not only that, let's say that more than 100 foreign colleagues will come this time, and the cost of each person must be more than [-]."

Su Tong was speechless and said: "This is a big deal, but with so many people, the Jinling Hotel is a bit cramped."

"This year we will not be at the Jinling Hotel. Jinling heard that we are going to hold an annual meeting, and they are very supportive. They have rented the Jinling Great Hall of the People to us. There is no problem with going to two or 3000 people."

Hearing that they were going to the Great Hall of the People in Jinling, Mo Yan and the others couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. It's only been a few years, and the annual meeting of Deep Space is going to the Great Hall of the People.

Last year, the Deep Space Corporation suddenly held an annual meeting, the scale of which was beyond their imagination. They did not expect that the scale would be even bigger this year.

From this point of view, Deep Space Corporation is indeed rich. After this annual meeting, the cost is estimated to be several million.Most of the domestic private companies may not be able to earn so much money after a year of hard work, but they are all spent by Deep Space Company on an annual meeting.

Hu Hao looked at Yu Dong through the rearview mirror.

In fact, Ji is always hesitant about whether his foreign colleagues will come to China this time. After all, there are too many people and it costs a lot.

However, after Yu Dong heard about this, he immediately made a decision, emphasizing that his colleagues from the United States must come over this year to take a look.So, Yu Zong is the one who is really rich.

……

When traveling by car, there is a bad thing, that is, you can't play cards, and the road is not good and bumpy, so after chatting in the car for a while, Yu Hua and the others fell asleep.

In fact, they can also travel by plane, but there have been many major accidents at Jinling's current airport, and everyone is a little scared. The new airport will not be opened until next year.

On the way, Yu Dong and Hu Hao changed several times, stopped to eat twice, and arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night.

Arrived so late, naturally no one picked up.

The lodging of all the delegations at this congress was uniformly arranged, and Yu Dong and the others didn't do anything special, and followed the arrangement.

When checking in in the lobby, several people were already groggy.

Although I slept a lot in the car during the day, the road was too bumpy, and the quality of my sleep was not very good.

Yu Dong is young, and he has made up a lot during this time. Although he has been driving for a long time, he is still in good condition. He looked at Yu Hua and the others: "The representative meeting will start the day after tomorrow. There is nothing to do tomorrow. You can sleep more. .”

Su Tong was originally resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard Yu Dong's words, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at him: "You still want to sleep in tomorrow? It's a good idea!"

Mo Yan said with a smile: "Su Tong is right, let's not even think about sleeping late, no matter it is the delegation from Zhejiang Province, Shanghai Delegation or Jiangsu Province Delegation, they all know that we are here today, and we will definitely be there tomorrow." Let us go to a small meeting. And Yanjing, with so many acquaintances, will definitely come to see us."

On the other side, Yu Hua was already about to fall asleep, turned over on the sofa, and muttered, "I won't knock on the door if anyone comes tomorrow morning, anyway, I will sleep until noon..."

Yu Hua's words fell silent, and suddenly a clear voice rang out in the hotel lobby: "Oh, Yu Hua, Mo Yan!"

Yu Dong first turned around and saw a 40-year-old curly-haired young woman in a black coat walking from the entrance of the hotel with her hands clasped, followed by about a dozen men and women.

Before Yu Hua sat up from the sofa, the woman walked towards them with a smile on her face, and said as she walked, "I was chatting with someone on the road just now. It's so late, and I don't know if I can meet someone I know. Really. Unexpectedly, I actually met him."

Mo Yan smiled and stood up, "Chairman Tie, you guys just arrived."

"Just arrived, just arrived. Why are you alone, and the others?"

At this moment, Yu Hua also stood up, and explained: "We came here by ourselves, unlike you, wherever we go, we always hug each other, and there is a big burst."

Tielin couldn't help curling her lips: "What you said, I think you, Yu Hua, are too noble, and you wouldn't be happy if someone wanted to get closer to you."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Yu Dong and Su Tong again, "Who are these two?"

Mo Yan introduced with a smile, "Su Tong, Yu Dong, this is Tielin, the author of "Gate of Roses."

Tielin raised her eyebrows, stroked her palms and said, "I've heard about these two great names for a long time, today I can see a real person."

Yu Dong and Su Tong also greeted Tielin with a smile, "Long admiration, long admiration."

To Dong and Su Tong, Tielin is considered a senior in the literary world. She began to publish works in the 70s. Although she has no outstanding works, she is still very recognized in the literary circle.

In addition to some attainments in literature, Tielin is also doing well in the Writers Association, and is now the chairman of the Beihe Provincial Writers Association, and there is news that after this writers' congress, she will be transferred from Beihe to Yanjing.

Yu Dong knew that the news was true. Not only was Tielin transferred to Yanjing, but she would also be the chairman of the Chinese Writers Association.

After chatting with Yu Hua and the others, Tielin went to check in with those people who brought their provincial delegation.

After Tielin left, Yu Hua looked at the group of people in Beihe and rubbed her eyes, "It seems that few of them know each other."

Mo Yan laughed, "You have trouble seeing, I saw Tan Ge."

"Really?" Yu Hua looked again, curled her lips and said, "It's too far away, I can't see clearly, and he didn't even say hello to us."

"I'm not familiar with them, so I'm sorry. But I didn't expect to see them after such a long time. Beihe is so close, and they didn't arrive until midnight." Mo Yan said.

"It's close, so I can come whenever I want, maybe I just ate dinner and then came here in a bus." Su Tong yawned, "Okay, Xiao Hu is here, Let's go to the room first, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning, Yu Dong heard a knock on the door next door.

The knock was repeated many times, getting louder and more impatient.

Later, Yu Dong heard someone shout, "Yu Hua, come out."

It sounds a little Xiangjiang accent, quite hearty.

"Yu Hua, come out."

"Yu Hua..."

The person calling the door probably shouted seven or eight times, but Yu Hua didn't answer the door, and Mo Yan who was opposite was quarreled.

Yu Dong heard Mo Yan's voice in the room, "Why are you here so early, Yu Hua must be sleeping."

The person calling the door was a little surprised and said, "It's okay, it's the same when looking for you."

……

Then, the sound of knocking and talking disappeared, and about 10 minutes later, there was a knock on Yu Dong's door.

Yu Dong was already half awake from the previous barking, but now someone knocked on the door, he got up reluctantly, "Who is it?"

"Me." It was Mo Yan's voice.

Yu Dong sighed, and ran to open the door, "Old Guan, you'd better—"

Just halfway through speaking, Yu Dong saw a man standing behind Mo Yan. He was medium-sized, slightly fat, with a bit of tooth loss. He seemed to be in his early 40s, but he could already see a lot of gray hair on his temples.

Before Dong asked, the man reported his family name, "Hi Yu Dong, I'm Han Shaogong."

Yu Dong smiled, it turned out to be Han Shaogong, no wonder he looked so familiar.

Han Shaogong is the chairman of the HAN Provincial Writers Association, and he also cooperates with Shenkong. The "Maqiao Dictionary" he published this year was operated by Shenkong.

Yu Dong was not surprised that Han Shaogong and Mo Yan knew each other. There was a common word between the two of them that tied them together, and that was "seek the root".

Ten years ago, when root-seeking literature caused a trend, there was no definition for this trend. Later, Han Shaogong wrote "The Root of Literature", which is tantamount to a manifesto of root-seeking literature.

Since then, people began to refer to the literary works of Han Shaogong, Mo Yan and others as root-seeking literature.

Han Shaogong would knock on Yu Hua's door, and Yu Dong was not surprised. Leaving aside the fact that Yu Hua and Mo Yan are old friends, let alone the relationship between Yu Hua and Li Tuo, he and Han Shaogong knew each other well. Of course.

Li Tuo was an early advocate of "literary root seeking", and he and Yu Hua had a very good personal relationship.

"Come in and sit down." Yu Dong invited Mo Yan and Han Shaogong into the room with a smile, and then said a little embarrassedly, "I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth. I'm laughing at you."

Han Shaogong smiled heartily, "What's the matter, there is another one next door, and it won't wake up no matter how much you knock on the door."

Yu Dong knew that he was referring to Yu Hua, so he smiled, "Mo Yan, chat with Chairman Han for a while, and I'll go wash up."

"Don't call me Chairman Han, just call me Old Han."

Yu Dong nodded, and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

He hadn't finished with this when he heard Yu Hua come in cursing, "Han Shaogong, you must have knocked on my door just now."

Han Shaogong said, "It should be me."

"It's early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams." Yu Hua muttered, then stretched her head into the bathroom to look at Yu Dong, "You were also woken up by him?"

With water in his mouth, Yu Dong muttered, "It should be him."

Han Shaogong laughed and said, "It's not that I'm bothering you. When I was eating in the restaurant just now, I met Tielin. She said that you've already arrived, so I came here. She also said that she will come to you in a while. This lesbian If you want to come over, if I don't call you up first, it will be very inconvenient, so you have to thank me. In addition, the hotel's breakfast ends at the hotel. It is already past eight o'clock. If you don't hurry up , I don’t even have to eat breakfast.”

"I think you just have nothing to do." Yu Hua teased, and went to chat with them.

When Yu Dong came out of the bathroom after washing up, the three of them were already holding a cigarette and puffing.

Seeing Yu Dong come out, Han Shaogong stood up and urged, "Hurry up and eat."

Yu Hua looked at the time, "It's still early, what's the hurry?"

"Let's go and see Tie Sheng together in a while."

When Han Shaogong mentioned Shi Tiesheng, Yu Hua and the others didn't say anything.

"You guys go first, I'll go and wake up my brother." After saying a word, Yu Dong ran out.

Han Shaogong asked doubtfully from behind, "Who is his senior brother?"

"Su Tong." Yu Hua said.

Han Shaogong suddenly realized, "So they are still brothers."

……

Shi Tiesheng was also the representative for this conference, but he didn't seem to want to participate. When Yu Dong and his party arrived at his house, he was in the living room near the door, reading a book.

Seeing Yu Dong and the others, he was quite pleasantly surprised, "Are you here?"

He raised the book in his hand again, and smiled: "Coincidentally, Yu Dong, I'm reading your "The Crowd"."

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Shi Tiesheng's condition seems to have deteriorated a lot. On the way here, I heard from Han Shaogong that he came to see Shi Tiesheng a few days ago.

Shi Tiesheng's kidney disease is still deteriorating, and he is likely to develop uremia.

If he really develops uremia, he will have to continue dialysis in the future.

In this way, on the one hand, the body will suffer greater pain, and on the other hand, the family will also suffer heavy losses. After all, the cost of uremia treatment is not a small sum.

But after seeing Shi Tiesheng, Yu Dong found that he was a little more optimistic than he imagined. It seemed that illness could only destroy his body, but not his will.

Chen Ximi was also very happy to see guests at home, and wanted to make tea for Yu Dong and the others, but Shi Tiesheng waved his hand: "Don't be so busy, I'll go out with them for a walk."

These days, it was rare for Shi Tiesheng to go out, Chen Ximi was naturally happy, and told them to come back for dinner at noon.

After going out, Yu Dong pushed Shi Tiesheng, and everyone walked towards the altar of the earth.

After leaving for a while, Shi Tiesheng took out a pack of cigarettes and gave way to Yu Hua and the others, "The house is small and cannot accommodate a few of your smoking guns, so I have to come out."

After several people lit their cigarettes, Shi Tiesheng turned his head to look at Yu Dong again: "I heard from you on the phone that you and Yu Hua haven't completed the formalities for joining the Writers Association yet? The meeting will be held tomorrow. Is there enough time?"

Yu Dong shook his head, "I don't know, the Writers Association said they don't want us to worry about it."

"That's fine." Shi Tiesheng nodded.

Han Shaogong took a puff of cigarette at the side, and looked at Yu Dong and Yu Hua with a smile: "For a long time, you two are not members of the Chinese Writers Association, do you want to sneak in for this meeting?"

Shi Tiesheng said: "I think the relationship between them and the Writers Association is quite good now, there are no conflicts, and they should not be too deep."

"The implication is that the relationship between me and the Writers' Association is not good?" Han Shaogong said.

"You know, that's not what I meant."

"I was just joking with you." Han Shaogong laughed, "You are also the representative this time, do you want to go and have a look?"

Shi Tiesheng looked up at the sky: "It depends on the situation."
