Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 639 What Are You Waiting For (Kang)
Yu Hua's "Gone with the Wind" is recognized by Yu Hua herself.

In fact, of course, this cannot be regarded as drifting. People's thoughts will change with the environment. Now that Yu Hua's books are selling so well and his reputation is so big, he doesn't take these things as seriously as before.

Yu Hua writes very few novels now, and after "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", he has not published any novels.

He usually doesn't want to write novelettes and short stories, so he always uses some essays to deal with the drafts of those magazines.

But Yu Dong didn't urge Yu Hua's manuscript like he urged Hu Changqing, because Yu Dong knew: it was useless.

"We don't need to care about the awards, but fame and fortune are what we need."

Yu Dong smiled and continued: "This time you go to Italy, I asked the company to arrange two book signings for you, a total of two days, one every day."

"What about you?" Yu Hua asked, "Aren't you going to hold the signing with me?"

Yu Dong curled his lips and said: "We are already tired enough from the signing event in the United States, let's go to Europe and have fun, and make up for the regret of not going to the World Cup before."

"Aren't I tired if I don't hold a signing event this time when I go to the United States?"

"It's okay if you're tired, you're usually too idle."

"You... are simply inhuman."

Yu Hua rolled her eyes at Yu Dong, stood up and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, she ran back and drank two cups of herbal tea.

After the herbal tea was finished, Yu Hua strode away.

Looking at the empty glass teapot, Yu Dong wondered if this guy came here just to drink his herbal tea.

……

On the day of departure for the United States, when the car passed by the gate, Yu Dong saw Xu Zechen in the reception room.

Regarding Xu Zechen, Yu Dong didn't ask much. While chatting with Uncle Zhou in the car, he said a few words to Xu Zechen by the way, and then they set off.

On the way, Yu Hua said: "Xu Zechen really fell in love with our school's communication office. He came here every day, and he was even more diligent than Xiao Fang and Xiao Li, the two regular employees who came here. I didn't know, I thought he was our school's newcomer. Recruit the guard."

"I have also seen him several times, all in the reception room." Bi Feiyu followed up and said, "I think Uncle Zhou likes him quite a lot."

"Uncle Zhou likes to read a lot. Didn't you see that Uncle Zhou catches young people like Xiao Fang and Xiao Li to read books every day, and he dislikes them for being uneducated. In fact, Uncle Zhou still hopes that young people can acquire more knowledge. " Mo Yan said.

Uncle Zhou really likes to stare at the young men in the security office and let them read books. This idea is good, but the result is not satisfactory.

Xiao Fang and Xiao Li have poor foundation and are getting old. Although Jin Yi's environment is very good, their rhythm of life has already been developed.

Usually, I go to work on time, leave work on time, and after I go back, I will eat, drink and play cards with my friends, so I don’t care about reading.

Uncle Zhou thought that although he didn’t read much, he was still somewhat educated, at least he had enthusiasm and awe for knowledge, so he always wanted to find a successor, not to mention better than him, but at least similar to him.

Later, he found that it was difficult to find, so he wondered if he could cultivate it by himself, but he found it more difficult to cultivate it.

During this period of time, Uncle Zhou and Xu Zechen were in the communication room every day. Although Xu Zechen spent most of his time reading by himself, and Uncle Zhou didn't bother him, the two still chatted together from time to time, and even discussed certain issues together.

Although Uncle Zhou doesn't read much, he loves to chat with learned people, and most of his knowledge is learned from others.

The two chatted and chatted, and they chatted about their feelings. During this time, Uncle Zhou often secretly regretted that if Xu Zechen was not a student of Jinling University, he would be able to recruit Jin Yi to support the facade of the reception room. Though narrow in thinking, it is very real.

Talking about Uncle Zhou's search for a successor, several people found it interesting. Wang Xiaobo said, "Hehe, if Uncle Zhou really can't find one, I'll apply for it. I should still meet his requirements."

Wang Xiaobo's words made Yu Dong curl his lips.

It has been more than a year since Wang Xiaobo came to Jinyi.

In name, he is staying at Jinyi, but in fact he has already settled down.

Li Yinhe used to go abroad for a literary exchange, and later saw that Wang Xiaobo went to Jinyi to be taken care of by Yu Dong and the others. She simply worked in the United States for a long time, and she probably would not come back in a short time. Wang Xiaobo went abroad to see her every time.

Now Wang Xiaobo's residence in Yanjing is vacant. Before that, Wang Xiaobo wanted to go back and have a look, but when he opened the door and smelled a musty smell, he left without even entering the door.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaobo lived in Jinyi, and Yu Dong never mentioned anything else, only letting him take care of his health.

A few months later, Yu Dong approached Wang Xiaobo and told Wang Xiaobo that he would just sign a contract with Jin Yi as a writer.

I don't know what Wang Xiaobo was thinking, and he didn't refuse. He kept saying wait, wait.

So at this time Yu Dong heard Wang Xiaobo jokingly said that he was going to apply for a guard job, so he turned his mouth away.

Yu Hua had a good understanding with Yu Dongxin, and she also jokingly said, "Xiaobo, I think you can sign a writer-in-residence with Jin Yi, and then you will have a place to work. Principal Wu puts your office in the reception room, Uncle Zhou will definitely welcome you, and will never blame you for taking his place."

Wang Xiaobo chuckled: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Bi Feiyu couldn't help asking: "We have asked you about this many times, and every time you said wait, what are you waiting for?"

"Yes, Xiaobo, what are you waiting for? Do you feel that the writer-in-residence is a kind of bondage for you?"

"No, no, absolutely not. In my opinion, Jinyi's writer-in-residence respects writers very much. Even Yu Hua, who hasn't published a book for several years, has never seen..."

Yu Hua twitched the corners of her mouth, "Ahem, don't pull on me."

Sitting next to Yu Hua, Chen Hong slapped Yu Hua's shoulder, "Is what Teacher Wang said wrong? You don't have as many works as I do now."

This made everyone laugh. Chen Hong is right. She has a light life burden now, and Haiguo has grown up. She usually has time to write scripts and essays. She has submitted to many magazines in the past two years. , and a lot of drafts have passed, which is indeed higher than Yu Hua's output.

Yu Dong didn't let them change the topic, and then asked, "Then Xiaobo, what's your reason?"

Wang Xiaobo grinned, "Actually, it's nothing. I've been waiting for Ruan Xiaohu to allocate a house. President Wu told me before that if I were a writer-in-residence at Jinyi, he would give me a house. Of course I think it's good." , but Xiaohu has been here longer than me, but he has been living in the single dormitory, if I move out first, it will be really bad."

Hearing Wang Xiaobo's words, Yu Dong's eyes almost popped out.

Before Wang Xiaobo declined him, he thought for a long time and thought of many reasons for Wang Xiaobo, but he never thought that Wang Xiaobo was thinking about Ruan Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaobo's mind is really hard to fathom.

Ruan Xiaohu didn't get a room allocation because Ruan Xiaohu wasn't married and didn't meet the conditions for room allocation.This time Ruan Xiaohu and Li Yu received the certificate, and Wu Changxin immediately approved the matter when he mentioned it to Wu Changxin.

Bi Feiyu laughed, "It's all right now, Ruan Xiaohu's house will be settled soon, so you can rest assured."
