1987 My Era

Chapter 175, I Don’t Refuse (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

There are four full classes in the morning.

I had just finished class and was about to go to eat, but unexpectedly I ran into editor Zou Ping and editor-in-chief Liao as I left the classroom.

To be exact, Zou Ping and Editor-in-Chief Liao had already come to Fudan University, but because he was in class, they did not go in to disturb him.

Li Heng hurried over and said, "Uncle Liao, Old Zou, why are you here?"

Because there are many students around him, he changed his previous title of "Editor-in-Chief Liao".

Editor-in-Chief Liao was well-versed in human relationships. He saw through his simple change of address and immediately said with a smile, "I was passing by and came to see you."

The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and Li Heng asked later: "You haven't had lunch yet, right? Let's go eat."

Editor-in-Chief Liao and Zou Ping did not refuse and followed him to a small street restaurant outside the school.

After ordering 5 dishes, Li Heng asked, "Would you like some wine?"

Since they were all acquaintances, Editor-in-Chief Liao was not so polite and shook his head bluntly: "I have something to do later, let's drink next time."

"to make."

As the editor-in-chief of a magazine, he must be busy during the day. The best time to drink is usually after get off work in the evening. Li Heng ordered three bottles of soda, and the three of them ate while chatting.

Looking at the overly young face in front of him, Editor-in-Chief Liao said with emotion and relief: "Thanks to you, Harvest is now thriving, and I am proud to go out with my face."

How can there be no light on your face?

In terms of journal sales, "Harvest" has surpassed "People's Literature" three times in a row. This is an unprecedented feat and it really makes us proud!
Who in the industry isn’t jealous of Harvest magazine right now?
Who wouldn’t envy Harvest magazine for having a popular writer like December?
Harvest became popular again! Harvest surpassed People's Literature. This was a very hot gimmick. There was a lot of noise outside. The name of December appeared in news reports again and again with Harvest magazine. It was very glorious.

As more and more reports came out, as Harvest magazine became more famous, and as Cultural Journey was serialized, Li Heng was now in the limelight and became a literary legend. It was because he was hiding his real name that the gate of Fudan University would have been trampled by reporters.

Even so, from time to time someone would use money to pave the way for information from Harvest magazine, making Editor-in-Chief Liao and Zou Ping feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they had to raise Li Heng's confidentiality measures to several levels.

Li Heng used soda instead of wine, clinked glasses with the two men, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, I have deep feelings for Harvest."

Hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Liao and Zou Ping were in a good mood. At least in the short term, they didn't have to worry about Li Heng being poached.

To be honest, in order to build a good relationship with Li Heng, Editor-in-Chief Liao even tried to sound out Mr. Ba, asking him if he wanted to meet Li Heng.
As a result, Mr. Ba’s reply was: Let’s wait until "Cultural Journey" is finished and published as a single volume.

The publication of Cultural Journey was expected by everyone in Harvest Magazine, because it was so popular! Even more popular than To Live.

Do you think Harvest magazine is stupid for leaving such a huge fortune unused?
Let's take a step back and say that even if Harvest doesn't have this intention, the readers' letters that come in like snowflakes every day keep asking when the book will be finished and when the book will be published.
This is God’s will and cannot be defied!
Even though Li Heng knew everything about the single volume of "Cultural Journey", he never mentioned it. One reason was that it was not the right time.

Second, he is still considering whether to raise the price.
Although there were few people at the meal, the three of them enjoyed it very lively. Towards the end of the meal, Editor-in-Chief Liao started talking about business. He took out two tickets from his briefcase and handed them to him.

Li Heng took it and took a look, and saw a washing machine ticket and a plane ticket.

The flight is at 9 am tomorrow.

Li Heng looked at it carefully twice, put it in his pocket and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liao."

Editor-in-Chief Liao glanced at Zouping, who tactfully stood up to pay the bill, and then did not come back, but went to wait outside the restaurant.

Noticing something was wrong, Li Heng sat up straight and said, "Uncle Liao, is there something wrong?"

Editor Liao stared at him for a while, then sighed and said with a complicated expression: "Actually, someone has bought a new washing machine for you. It's in the van."

Li Heng was stunned, and a woman's figure immediately appeared in his mind.

After a while, he asked, "If I don't accept it, what will Uncle Liao do?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? Of course I should send it back the same way. She told me not to force you."

The two words "don't force it" made Li Heng feel inexplicably relaxed. He was not afraid of being admired by others, but he was afraid of being pestered by others. This sense of propriety greatly increased his favorability.

Li Heng pondered for a while, then looked up and asked, "Uncle Liao, do you think I should accept it?"

His question was both a test and a way for Editor-in-Chief Liao and the woman he had never met to save face.

Editor-in-Chief Liao said seriously, "Just accept it. I understand her character. She won't ask you for a favor just because of a washing machine."

Now that things have come to this, Li Heng has to give Editor-in-Chief Liao some face, and he immediately nodded without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Editor-in-Chief Liao showed a relieved smile on his face and followed him out of the restaurant.

The three of them got in the van and went to Lushan Village. After carrying the washing machine into the house, Li Heng asked half-seriously, "Do you want me to return the washing machine ticket?"

Editor-in-Chief Liao waved his hand and said, "Don't bother. Keep it. If anyone needs it in the future, you can give it away."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Li Heng responded, poured a cup of tea for the two, and then chatted on the sofa for a while before leaving.

Editor-in-Chief Liao did have something to do in the afternoon, so he left after staying for half an hour.

Li Heng did not rest either. He first read a book in the study, then packed his luggage to prepare for leaving tomorrow. When it was time, he ran back to the classroom for class.

Originally, there were only 6 classes on Monday, but the English teacher had to adjust the schedule, so the th and th classes in the afternoon were temporarily occupied by the English class.

It felt like going back to the crowded days of high school. Fortunately, Li Heng had a different mindset. Instead of rejecting it, he even enjoyed it.

After the 7th class, Li Heng took the opportunity to go to the Finance and Accounting Class 2 across the street to look for Mai Sui, but he came back empty-handed as there was no one in the classroom.

Aren’t there any classes?
With this in mind, Li Heng searched around the front of the classroom and finally found the class schedule posted on the wall. After searching, he found that seven or eight classes were actually empty.

It was because he was so busy that he forgot. It had been more than a week since the class started, but he didn't even check Mai Sui's class schedule.

Back in the classroom, Hu Ping swapped seats with Zhang Bing on his left and quietly asked him, "Lao Li, do you have a crush on a girl?"

Li Heng turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Hu Ping was afraid that the girls in the front row would hear him, so he lowered his voice again: "This afternoon, Liu Yanling came to ask me about this matter."

Some words were easy to understand, so Li Heng did not hide anything: "Yes."

Hearing this, Hu Ping felt secretly happy. When he learned today that Wei Xiaozhu said that she didn't like him smoking, he had already made up his mind to quit smoking.

After the eighth class, Li Heng handed the book to Zhang Bing and went straight to the downstairs of the No. 12 girls’ dormitory.

"Auntie, please help me call Mai Sui from dormitory 211." Li Heng said to the dormitory manager.

The dorm aunt looked at him, turned on the small speaker and started shouting:

"211's wheat ear, 211's wheat ear, someone is looking for you downstairs."

"211's wheat ear, 211's wheat ear, someone is looking for you downstairs."

After shouting twice, the dormitory manager turned off the speaker and said to him, "Hey, male student, you have to be prepared. The girl may not come down."

Li Heng was a little confused, then he came to his senses and asked, "A lot of boys are looking for him?"

The dorm auntie ate melon seeds while looking at him. After a long while, she finally said, "A lot. Every day, there are all kinds of excuses. But how can they fool my sharp eyes? I have never seen them succeed. You should give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Li Heng didn't care about being teased: "I'm different, I'm her high school classmate."

Two minutes later, the dorm aunt pointed to the wall clock and said, "Look! It's useless. He didn't come down."

Li Heng thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, could you please call her again for me? Just say that a high school classmate named Li is looking for her."

Unexpectedly, the dorm auntie said, "A high school classmate with the surname Li? A boy used it before. I still remember the full name, Li Heng. The girl went upstairs again when she reached the door."

At this point, the dormitory manager added: "You know how I remember it so clearly? This is the only time Li Heng called this girl down."

Damn it! Li Heng was dumbfounded. Someone even used his name to impersonate him?

He didn't believe it was such a coincidence. They had the same name and were high school classmates?
It's obvious that someone has investigated the relationship between him and Mai Sui.

In fact, this investigation is not difficult. There were several times when the two of them took a walk on campus after dinner to digest their food. It would be very easy for someone to remember them.

He had thought that Mai Sui would be very popular, but he had not expected it to be so popular. Just as he was trying to get the dormitory aunt to open the trumpet again, someone came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said happily, "Master, why are you in the girls' dormitory? Are you here to see me?"

Without turning around, he knew it was Li Xian by hearing the poor Chinese and accent. Li Heng half turned around, nodded and greeted Zhou Min and Chen Guifen, and joked, "We'll meet in the classroom all day today, let me rest."

Li Xian's cheeks shrank cutely after hearing this. "Then who are you looking for, Master? Are you looking for that wheat ear?"

Li Heng's eyes lit up: "Yes, Mai Sui is in 211, can you call her for me?"

Li Xian didn't have any ulterior motives. She agreed after hearing this. "You can ask someone to help you. The errand fee is a bottle of soda."

Li Heng blurted out: "No problem."

Li Xian went in, and when she got to the corridor, she complained to Zhou Min and Chen Guifen: "Oh my, I also had guys pursuing me in Korea, but I stink like a pile of dog shit in China, oh my, I need to put on more perfume."

Zhou Min and Chen Guifen were amused by this and tried to comfort him by saying, "Li Heng is short-sighted and will definitely regret it in the future."

Arriving at dormitory 211, Li Xian pushed the door and found it was locked, so she raised her hand and knocked on it.

"Who?"

"It's me, it's me, the blonde woman you mentioned. I'm here to find Wheat Ear."

Hearing this, the girls in dormitory 211 looked at each other, and the next second they all laughed. The tall girl closest to them opened the door.

Li Xian leaned in and said to Mai Sui who was leaning against the window, "Mai Sui, my master is looking for you. Oh, you may not know who my master is. He is Li Heng."

Mai Sui said thank you, put down the book in his hand, put on his shoes and quickly left the dormitory.

It was very quick to get from the second floor to the first floor in a flash.

As soon as they met, Li Heng complained: "It's so hard to find you now."

Mai Sui smiled softly and came closer and said, "I heard it just now, but someone has been using your name in the past two days, so I didn't take it seriously."

"Yes, yes, it's okay not to take it seriously." Seeing that the dormitory manager's eyes were full of gossip, Li Heng left Building 12.

Mai Sui followed him for 50 meters, looked at his back and asked, "Are you angry?"

Li Heng asked back: "What if I get angry?"

Mai Sui smiled and said, "Then I'll go back to the dormitory. Call me again and I promise to be there as soon as possible."

Li Heng rolled his eyes: "Forget it, that's a waste of my time."

Mai Sui raised her head slightly, "Have you had dinner yet? How about I treat you to a meal?"

"I really haven't eaten yet. Come on, you treat me." Li Heng took the lead and walked towards the cafeteria.

Mai Sui asked, "Are you going to the capital to find me?"

Li Heng was stunned, stopped and asked: "Are you the roundworm in my stomach?"

Mai Sui said, "Given how much you like Song Yu, it's not hard to guess, isn't it?"

Li Heng gave a thumbs up.

After spending 4 cents on a meat and vegetable dish and sitting down in a corner, Li Heng asked curiously, "Why do you want to join the student union? This doesn't fit your image."

Mai Sui picked up the chopsticks, stared into his eyes and asked: "What kind of image do you have of me in your mind?"

Li Heng thought for a while and said, "I have always thought that you are similar to Song Yu. You like quietness and don't like crowded places."

Mai Sui's eyes flickered, "You prefer quiet girls, right?"

Li Heng did not deny this: "Almost the same. Song Yu and Xiao Han are both quiet types. Chen Zijin is relatively cheerful, but also limited."

Mai Sui listened, lowered his head and picked up some food to eat. Halfway through the meal, he spoke: "A roommate's sister is the vice president of the school student union. This year, I accompanied my roommate to interview for the student union. Her sister took a fancy to me and said that my image is quite suitable to be a campus host.

I originally wanted to ask you and Manning for advice, but I couldn't find you. Manning strongly supported it and said that college should be rich and colorful. He asked me to give it a try, so I gave it a try.

By the way, Manning also joined the Student Union and is in the Propaganda Department, and I am in the Cultural and Entertainment Department."

Li Heng agreed: "That's great. You can find something you are interested in while you are in school, which will make you more memorable after graduation. I heard that you are going to host the welcome party for the School of Management?"

Mai Sui hummed: "Liu Yue told you, right?"

Li Heng said: "Yes."

Mai Sui said, "Since your performance at the military training art performance was so popular, the student union gave us a task, which is to persuade you to be on the show, preferably playing the erhu."

Li Heng asked: "Then why didn't you come to see me?"

Wheat Ear said: "I knew you were busy, so I didn't look for you. And..."

Li Heng continued: "And Liu Yue will definitely look for me, right?"

Mai Sui pursed her lips, "Yes! When I was in the student union, Liu Yue often mentioned you to me, so I gave the opportunity to her."

Li Heng felt dizzy: "She did come to me twice, but the persuasion was not strong. She stopped asking after the first time, and the next time she still used your name."

Mai Sui was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Is that so? Did I misjudge? I thought she was interested in you."

Li Heng shook his head: "We've only known each other for a short time, not really, but that girl is not a good girl."

Mai Sui tilted his head, "Girl?"

Li Heng said: "I call naughty girls girls."

Mai Sui asked: "What category do I belong to?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Heng blurted out, "In a few years, you have the potential to become Su Daji."

Wheat Ear instinctively asked, "Bring disaster to the country and the people?"

Li Heng said: "No, it fascinates everyone."

It seemed as if bright azaleas blossomed on the wheat ears. His face turned red instantly. He quickly looked away and lowered his head to eat.

Only after she finished eating did she raise her head again and asked tenderly, "When are you leaving? Tonight or tomorrow?"

Li Heng said: "The flight is at 9 a.m. tomorrow, so we have to go to the airport early in the morning."

Mai Sui asked, "How many days?"

"How many days? It's hard to say." Li Heng told the story of his high school English teacher being sick and hospitalized, and then said, "If you have time during the weekend, go to Lushan Village for me. Well, if you stay overnight, it's best to bring Manning with you, otherwise I won't be at ease."

"it is good."

Mai Sui asked worriedly, "Is the teacher's condition serious?"

Li Heng pondered: "It's hard to say, it shouldn't be serious, otherwise Teacher Yu wouldn't wait until Friday to leave."

Mai Sui thought it made sense, so he took out all the change from his pocket, 81 yuan, and gave it to him, "Please buy me some fruit and a bouquet of flowers."

Li Heng didn't take the money. "You still have 500 here. I'll use it first and I'll pay you when I come back."

Mai Sui was not the kind of person who would hesitate, so he took the money back after hearing it.

After dinner, Mai Sui asked, "Are you busy later?"

Li Heng said: "It's okay, do you want me to invite you for a walk?"

Mai Sui raised his head and smiled: "I won't refuse."
