Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 289 It turns out that connections will find you on their own
When she heard the knock on the door, Li Yan thought it was Xiaopang or the cleaning lady.

He walked towards the door and asked loudly: "Who is it?"

"Su Siqing, I'm here to visit Brother Tang Fei."

Then Li Yan was petrified in front of the door.

Wow, are you serious? Is our communication really good enough to warrant a visit?
But the person was already at the door and the question had been asked, so saying "Tang Fei is not here" was really too rude.

Well, Teacher Su, please be prepared to be shocked.

Li Yan opened the door.

This was the first time Li Yan saw Su Siqing up close. Compared with the photo in the encyclopedia, he looked a lot older.

His hair is gray, his face is long and thin, and he looks skinny.

He particularly has the temperament of an old scholar and a cultured person.

Su Siqing, who was wearing a Tang suit, was stunned for a moment.

It’s nothing. This kid looks like he’s in the third year of junior high school or the first year of high school. He should be Tang Fei’s son.

He was about to speak when he suddenly realized that the boy in front of him looked very familiar.

"Your name... is Li Yan?"

"That's right, Mr. Su, please come in."

Is it such a coincidence?

Su Siqing showed an expression that was half puzzled and half surprised.

This room is more than enough for Li Yan and Lin Zhiyuan to serve as a secret base, but it is still a bit tight when guests come.

"Mr. Su, please take a seat. We don't usually receive any guests here. There's nothing here..."

"I came too suddenly," Su Siqing waved his hands, "I came here to meet Brother Tang Fei. Let's get to know each other first, and then invite Brother Tang Fei to talk."

Li Yan nodded, sat in the living room, and poured a glass of water for Su Siqing.

The atmosphere was very strange.

Su Siqing constructed the most understandable situation in his mind: Tang Fei, an outstanding scholar and writer, raised a son, Li Yan, who was also outstanding in writing.

"I don't have Brother Tang Fei's contact information. He came suddenly today. Is he out?"

“Before you leave the house, what is far away in the horizon is right before your eyes.”

Li Yan actually wanted to tell Su Siqing in a gentler way, but the way it was expressed in the end only heightened the drama.

"Are you Tang Fei?" Su Siqing asked directly.

"It's me." Li Yan cupped his hands. "I have benefited a lot from communicating with Mr. Su."

Su Siqing had a complicated expression, and even stroked the hair on his temples. I wonder if he was sweating from the heat from walking all the way.

"You are the... kid who received the award at the Shangjing Publishing House Summit at the end of June?"

"Yes, that was me. Mr. Su was in the audience at the time, but he was in such a hurry that there was no chance for us to communicate."

Su Siqing laughed dryly. "It gave me some buffer. Zou Yang kept nagging me about you, saying that you were only... you were only in the first grade?"

"It's almost the second year of junior high school." Li Yan nodded.

"Young and promising." Su Siqing pondered, "It's hard to believe. I always thought Tang Fei... was at least 40 years old and above, with the ability to see through the world and a lot of life experience. How could you..."

"Maybe I read too many books."

"No matter how much you read, your mind is... That's it, I'm just being clichéd." Su Siqing said with a smile, "Since I chose to be a pen pal, it was to put aside prejudice and just have a pure exchange about writing."

"I really appreciate what Mr. Su did."

However, Su Siqing stared at Li Yan for a long time without being able to speak, and finally sighed, "It is still a shock. If I had come to his house rashly today, and it turned out that another kid I have never met opened the door and told me that he was Tang Fei, I would probably find it more difficult to accept. Zou Yang told me more about you. You are indeed a rare genius. It is more or less understandable that you can write those words."

Li Yan nodded silently, letting the old man digest it himself.

"Your performance at the award ceremony was full of youthful spirit. It was quite different from the mature writing of 'Tang Fei'." Su Siqing realized something was wrong after he sighed, and quickly tried to make amends, "I definitely didn't doubt your intentions..."

"I know, Mr. Su, people are complex, and we should not think that if there is one side, there is no opposite side."

"Okay." Su Siqing took a sip of water and paused. "Li Yan... I remember Zou Yang mentioned to me that you are still Yang Chengzhang's disciple?"

"it's me."

Su Siqing slowly put the water cup back on the table, "Yes, I heard that you are a rare all-rounder."

Suddenly, he remembered something, "Tianxing Literature Award..."

"Yes, it was me too, but like you, I chose to have the award ceremony held in Beijing, so Mr. Guo Qiwen accepted it on my behalf."

"Zou Yang insisted on taking me to Beijing... It's not important."

No, I'm letting you digest it, why do you keep looking for shocks?
"It's really amazing. My trip today is worthwhile." Oh, it seems that Mr. Su is very satisfied with this.

"Since Mr. Su has come to visit, I will also express my sincerity." Li Yan smiled and said, "I am Meng Shengyoushi."

Fortunately, Su Siqing brought the cup of water to his mouth, otherwise he would have choked on that sip.

"The one who wrote 'Iron Dragon Chang Heng'?" He suddenly clapped his hands again, "I was saying that when Zou Yang was nagging me about you, I was still regretting that you started 'Stern City Fireworks' but failed to turn it into a series. Fortunately, someone continued it."

It was obvious that Su Siqing had not yet been able to smoothly put the several images together in his mind.

"I was still lamenting that it was too difficult to ask a junior high school student to write an essay on the city. I didn't expect that it was actually written by you... After all, New Taipei is also where you studied, so I can understand that. Does this Changheng City have any connection with you?"

"As for the origin... I have a roommate who lives over there." Li Yan looked much more relaxed than Su Siqing. "As I said before, you can read books. But you wrote in your previous letter that you need to experience the city in person. I feel the same way, so I haven't updated the series yet."

"Okay..." Su Siqing hesitated to speak.

"Actually, Mr. Su," Li Yan decided to make a big revelation, "Do you still remember the online novel "Nangong Shao Nian"?"

"Of course I have. I paid to read it. I used to think that writing several thousand words a day was too much, but now I want the author to speed up the update. I wish he could finish the whole story in one go. People's appetite is really whetted..."

No, that's not important.

Su Siqing looked at Li Yan and narrowed his already small eyes:
"Are you the author of this book?"

"it's me."

Even someone as calm as Su Siqing couldn't help but reveal a frantic expression.

He even stood up for a moment, then froze for a few seconds before sitting back down again.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" He shook his head repeatedly, his face out of focus, "What else have you written?"

Then we have to ask Wei Yunzhi, she is more prepared than anyone else.

Of course, Li Yan is not going to show off with numbers. For a person of Su Siqing's level, the number of publications is nothing.

"The others are not worth mentioning. I basically only use these three accounts to write now, one for prose, one for commentary, and one for online writing."

"I think it would be a good idea to just sign your name as Li Yan in the future."

"Pen name and real name are the same in the end." Li Yan smiled, "What's important is the text itself."

Only at this time did Su Siqing finally focus on Li Yan himself.

"Are you packing? Oh yeah, school is starting, right?"

"correct."

"Is this... your home? I heard you are from Rin City? Where are your parents?"

"They are in Rin City. This place was just bought by my friend. I sometimes tutor him here on weekends."

"Friend? Also a junior high school student? Buy here?"

"I recommended it to him. His family is relatively wealthy."

“Why would you recommend this place?”

"The price will go up in the future, and it seems to have gone up a bit now."

"..."

This child is difficult to understand and very mysterious.

But it is precisely because of this that perhaps communicating with him will be more interesting.

Su Siqing always thought that today either he would be turned away because no one was at home, or he would chat about life with a buddy in his forties or fifties.

"Who would have thought that I would meet a friend of different generations today?" Su Siqing laughed a few times and shook hands with Li Yan. "I still keep my promise to Tang Fei. I will invite you to eat at some of my favorite restaurants and introduce you to some old guys." "For a talent like you, I have to think about which publishing house is suitable and recommend them."

"It is also a great honor for me to be able to communicate and discuss with Mr. Su..."

"Hey," Su Siqing waved his hands repeatedly, "We are close friends regardless of age, so don't call me old sir. I feel uncomfortable when you, who is so young, call me old old old."

"Teacher Su..."

“There is still aging.”

"Lao Su?"

"..."

"I'm talking to Siqing..."

"Just call me Brother Qing." Su Siqing made the decision.

Who is taking advantage of whom in this case?
