1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 173 Betrayal of G's order

After work this day, Lin Weimin ran into Wang Shuo who hadn't shown up for a long time. He came to find Lin Weimin specially.

"Hey, isn't this Master Shuo? I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you died in the south." Lin Weimin said sarcastically.

Not to be outdone, Wang Shuo retorted, and after a few jokes, he finally expressed his intentions.

This kid followed Xie Jingnan to buy electronic watches last year, earning some serious money, and recently planned to open a restaurant.

The restaurant will open tomorrow, and I plan to invite Lin Weimin to join in the show.

"I said, why do you go back more and more? Opening a restaurant is hard work!" Lin Weimin said.

"Why don't you work hard? Turning around electronic watches is not a long-term solution after all, am I just looking for a regular business?"

"That's right, we haven't seen each other for so long, we've grown up!" Lin Weimin patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder.

"Fuck you, uncle. Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, the restaurant will be in Shawoer, called Tianfu Restaurant."

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."

After agreeing to Wang Shuo, Lin Weimin rode a motorcycle at [-] o'clock the next morning, bought two flower baskets, and then went to Wang Shuo's restaurant.

Shawo is not far from Wukesong, and it belongs to the West Fourth Ring Road in later generations.

Lin Weimin searched along both sides of the road for a while, and finally found the Tianfu Restaurant that Wang Shuo mentioned.

The building is a very common residential building along the street these days, which has been converted into a restaurant, and the decoration is in line with the characteristics of this era.

The first private restaurant in Yanjing City was opened in 80, so now it is a legal business for individuals to run a restaurant.

Lin Weimin came in with a flower basket. Wang Shuo and Xie Jing were already busy in the store. They were very enthusiastic when they saw Lin Weimin. He was the first one to come today.

The restaurant just opened its doors at this moment and recruited a Sichuan chef and two waiters, counting Wang Shuo and Xie Jing, that's all.

Wang Shuo and Xie Jing are partners in the restaurant, and they didn't stop the business of electronic watches.Now the two work together, one person looks after the store, and the other goes to Yangcheng to buy goods, so there is no delay in the exchange.

The happiness 250 parked at the door was also jointly bought by the two, from which we can see the relationship between Wang Shuo and Xie Jing.

While the few people were chatting, many friends came to Tianfu Restaurant, all of whom were Wang Shuo and Xie Jing who grew up in the courtyard.

Lin Weimin, the so-called "big boss in the Beijing circle" who is familiar to later generations, has not seen any of them, and Wang Shuo at this time is not that famous ruffian writer.

Lin Weimin was the biggest guy he could invite today. He introduced Lin Weimin to the group of Fa Xiao who grew up together, and he gained the enthusiastic support of everyone. Wang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little proud.

After setting off the firecrackers, a group of people crowded at the entrance of the hotel to take pictures, and Wang Shuo arranged for Lin Weimin to be in the middle.

He can come today, it can be regarded as supporting the scene for Wang Shuo.

After the photo was taken, Tianfu Restaurant was officially opened.

Xie Jing scrambled to share tables for everyone, and Wang Shuo went to the back kitchen to help. On the first day of the restaurant's opening, it was very lively, and the big guys helped to boost popularity.

After a long time, the food and wine came to the table one after another. Wang Shuo and the two waiters kept passing the dishes. Lin Weimin joked: "When someone opens a restaurant and prints a business card, he is the manager anyway. Why did he change to the waiter at your place?"

Wang Shuo smiled happily today, "We don't care about that, it's all our own business, why pretend to be a grandson!"

"Come, come, eat quickly! Eat quickly! Don't be polite, everyone!"

Wang Shuo tried his best to get everyone to eat and drink to enliven the atmosphere. On the first day of today's opening, he had to fool around with a few tables of guests.

As a result, the shop was bustling, and the shouts of these young men could be heard on the street, but no one dared to come in to eat.

It is said to be a restaurant, but it sounds like a steamed stuffed bun shop, who dares to enter?
Lin Weimin didn't know everyone well, so he said goodbye to Wang Shuo and Xie Jing after dinner, Wang Shuo sent him out, Lin Weimin gave him a big union, but Wang Shuo insisted not to accept it.

"How can you do business like this? You are open for business, even if your own father and father come, you have to pay, or you will lose all your underwear."

Wang Shuo didn't take it seriously, "We're all friends. If you help me, I'll help you. If you take money, it will hurt your feelings."

Lin Weimin didn't insist anymore, but patted him on the shoulder, "Come and find me on the day when you lose all your underwear, I'll treat you to a treat!"

"Go to hell!" Wang Shuo cursed with a smile, and waved his hand to say goodbye to Lin Weimin.

Fast forward to May, and the third issue of "Contemporary" magazine this year has just been released, and the atmosphere in the editorial department is relaxed.

Liu Yin took a newly bought "Zhong Shan" and threw it on Lin Weimin's desk, "Comrade Weimin, you have betrayed G's life!"

Lin Weimin smiled and said, "I'm infiltrating into the enemy's interior, and I have consulted the leader for instructions."

He is the editor of "Contemporary", and it is impossible to publish works on "Contemporary" to avoid suspicion, but "Contemporary" belongs to the Guowen Society, so can his works be allowed to flow to outsiders?

This time the work was published on "Zhong Shan", he specifically told Tan Chaoyang that "Zhong Shan" had kindness to him, so this time it should be considered as reciprocating the favor.

Open "Zhong Shan", his latest novel "Speak Well" is on it, which is the novel he promised Yu Zhaohuai before and wrote for another half a year.

Zhu Changsheng said at this time: "Wei Min, I just finished reading your novel."

"How?" Lin Weimin asked.

"It's different from your previous novels."

"That's right. Just tell me how you feel?"

Lin Weimin changed Zhang Yimou's "Speak Well", the movie was set in the 90s, Lin Weimin changed it to the 80s, and the plot has also been greatly changed, but the core has not changed.

"It gives me the feeling that it's small but fine, and it's obviously a long story..." Zhu Changsheng's face was a bit tangled.

Yao Shuzhi interjected, "I think your writing is so-so this time. It's just a trivial matter. It's too thoughtless to talk about it over and over again."

Lin Weimin nodded noncommittally.

At this time Rong Shihui put down the pen in his hand and said, "I disagree with Xiao Yao's opinion."

The eyes of several people looked at him, and he took off his reading glasses, "I think Weimin is a very bold attempt this time. In recent years, our literary creation seems to have fallen into a strange circle, either praising something or criticizing something What, profundity, soul, and thought are all such words, which make people dazzled and seem profound, but in fact they are divorced from reality and blindly pursue superficiality."

"And Weimin's "Speak Well" just breaks the inertia of this false emptiness and returns the novel to the essence of narrative."

Yao Shuzhi said: "Mr. Rong, it is not wrong to pursue grand propositions and criticality. You are overgeneralizing when you say that."

"It's certainly not wrong, but it misses the essence of fiction."

"The essence of fiction? What is it?"

"The word novel was first seen in "Zhuangzi Foreign Objects": It is difficult to get big fish if you are tired of uncovering poles, interested in flooding, and guarding salamanders; it is far from great to be a county magistrate.

"County" is the ancient word "hanging", high; "Ling", beauty, "dry", pursuit.That is to say, holding a small fishing rod and fishing line, running between irrigation ditches, you can only catch small fish like loach, but it is difficult to get big fish.

Zhuangzi's remarks back then were naturally suspected of being far-fetched when used to explain the meaning of "fiction", but they just pointed out the essence of fiction.

The meaning of trivial and superficial remarks and small principles is exactly the proper meaning of a novel as a novel.

I am not opposed to grand narratives, nor to the so-called profundity and criticism, but these things must be built on a solid foundation, or else they are superficial, castles built on the beach, exposed when the sea comes changed his true colors. "

In terms of understanding of novels, Yao Shuzhi's flattery can't compare with Rong Shihui, who has been an editor all his life.

Lin Weimin laughed heartily at this moment, and said, "It's still Mr. Rong who has a high level, and his words are allusions, and he taught us another lesson."

Rong Shihui smiled and said, "How come I don't sound like you are complimenting me?"

"Mr. Rong, this is because you are overthinking, but I am sincere."

The two bickered, and the atmosphere of the slightly serious discussion just now became more relaxed.

Regarding the evaluation of Lin Weimin's "Speak Well", the opinions of the editorial department are not uniform.

This phenomenon is similar to what Lin Weimin expected. Each type of work has its different audiences. He does not insist that his works must be popular.

With the popularity of "Zhong Shan", "Speak Well" has received more and more attention. This work is completely different from Lin Weimin's previous works, and it has impressed and impressed countless readers.

In the early 80s, when scar literature was popular in the literary world, the absurd and delicate stories like "Speak Well" are like a clear stream, exuding a unique temperament.

Because of the gimmick of "Lin Weimin's latest masterpiece", the sales volume of the latest issue of "Zhong Shan" has been rising steadily, and the momentum is obviously much stronger than previous issues.

This is great news for "Zhong Shan", which has just undergone a revision at the beginning of this year.

Far away in the editorial department of "Zhongshan" in Jinling, Yu Zhaohuai couldn't close his mouth when he looked at the subscription information collected by post offices and bookstores from all over the country.

The editor-in-chief Hai Xiao praised: "Zhaohuai, you have made a great contribution to our editorial department this time."

"You should thank Xie Lin Weimin. Without his burst of inspiration, writing the short story that promised me into a long story abruptly, would not have such a good result."

"Haha, you're right!"

　Riwan, the last day of the month, ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass.
