1987 My Era

Chapter 512: A Very Refreshing Press Conference
1988 9 Month 16 Day.

Today is the first time that Li Heng has appeared in public in front of the media since his rebirth.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining, which indicates that this festive day will have a perfect start and a successful ending.

At this time, the campus paths were even quieter than in the morning. I didn't meet anyone along the way. The huge campus was eerily quiet.

Li Heng couldn't help but whisper to Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe beside him: "Could it be that all the teachers and students in the school have gone to Xianghui Hall? Are they all waiting to see me?"

The wheat ears smiled tenderly.

Zhou Shihe also laughed.

Apparently the two women had the same idea.

Li Heng asked: "Where are Manning and Ye Ning?"

Mai Sui said, "They have reunited with Senior Ye, and should be in Xianghui Hall now."

Li Heng nodded and said, "I will not care about you guys anymore, you two can find a seat by yourselves..."

Halfway through his speech, he laughed and joked, "Today is my official debut day, maybe there won't be a spot. Alas, it's just that when you're too popular, there's nothing you can do about it."

The two women smiled and didn't say anything.

When Li Heng, Jin Yong, Mr. Ba, Editor-in-Chief Liao, Sister Xiaolin, Mai Sui, Zhou Shihe and the secretary arrived at Xianghuitang, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

It’s so crowded, there are too many people!

I thought there would be a lot of people before coming here, but I never thought there would be so many people.

At a glance, there were crowds of people, more than at the school gate in the morning.

The huge Xianghui Hall was now packed to the brim. Not to mention the seats, even the aisles and the back space were filled with tall and short men, women, old and young.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After more than two hours of broadcasting, all the students at Fudan University who slept in the morning knew who the writer December was! Out of curiosity, they all came to read it.

Moreover, not only students from Fudan University came to watch, but also students from several other nearby universities came running over. This resulted in the Xianghui Hall being packed with people.

It was very lively and noisy inside. Many students were chatting with their roommates while waiting for the protagonist to appear, and some were even eating snacks and cracking melon seeds.

As soon as we entered the door, we met Lin Shusen, Zhao Menglong and other members of the Student Union. It was obvious that they were waiting for Li Heng and his group to show up and to welcome and guide them.

Seeing them appear, Lin Shusen came over without saying a word, exchanged a few polite words, and then led them straight forward.

Zhao Menglong's eyes were always on Li Heng, with a conflicted expression on his face. He looked at him as if he had something to say but couldn't seem to say it.

Li Heng felt it, thought about it, took two steps and asked, "Senior, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Zhao Menglong hurriedly shook his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, you go ahead and I'll find you later."

Then the senior added: "Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe, come with me. The student union has reserved a place for you."

Mai Sui and Zhou Shihe looked at Li Heng, then said thank you and came down.

Li Heng said: "Then I'll go first, and we'll go home together for lunch later."

The two women nodded.

Just at this moment, someone shouted, "Look, Li Heng is coming," and then a strange scene appeared in the area behind Xianghui Hall.

The noisy scene just now suddenly became silent and dead silent.

Everyone turned their heads to look over here together, as if they had discussed it beforehand, with unified gazes and coordinated movements.

In an instant, those who were chatting stopped chatting, those who were eating snacks stopped eating snacks, and several girls put half of the melon seeds in their mouths, but they stayed at the corners of their mouths, as if time had stopped! The picture was frozen!
Hundreds and thousands of eyes fell on Li Heng, saluting him.

After a while, a small number of girls couldn't help but ask their companions quietly:
"He is Li Heng from your school? I have heard of him many times and finally I see him in person."

"How do you feel about it? Is it better than the Spring Festival Gala on TV?"

"Better looking? You are too superficial! With his status, I would be willing to give birth to a child for him even if he is ugly."

"Disgusting! You just want their fame and money!"

"Yes, I feel sick. If he suddenly came to you and said he wanted to date you, would you have the courage to refuse?"

"... "

"... "

The movement in the rear area was soon noticed by other areas.

So the next moment, an unforgettable scene appeared in the entire Xianghui Hall.

Tens of thousands of people were like puppets, all their heads turned backwards, all their faces turned backwards, all their eyes slanted at the corners, shooting at Li Heng like countless rays.

The scene was like a scene from a horror movie, making one's scalp tingle.

These gazes were pervasive, inside and outside, of all shapes and sizes, as if they wanted to eat him, as if they wanted to cut Li Heng into pieces and eat his body.

But who is Li Heng? He is a veteran. For him who has lived two lives, this kind of scene is just a drizzle. He is not afraid at all.

The school leaders and reporters in front also noticed something was wrong and stopped chatting and got busy, some taking pictures and some greeting people.

Today, not only Li Heng is here, but also Jin Yong and Mr. Ba. These are all masters who cannot be neglected, and Principal Sun is here personally.

With lightning and sparks all the way, the group walked along the aisle.

The aisle, which was originally packed with people, was suddenly emptied out, and the boys and girls in the middle of the aisle automatically moved to the sides.

He was a little surprised that many unexpected people came to the scene today.

For example, Aunt Shen Xin was accompanied by a middle-aged woman who was dressed very appropriately.

For example, Huang Zhiyun and Wei Quan.

For example, the sisters Li Wang and Li Xi.

For example, Quexinyan and Yangcheng, they are a small group. A quick glance at them shows that there are eight or nine of them, all of them are from the class of 87 of Shaoxing No. Middle School who came to Shanghai to study at university.

Wait, Xiao Han and Zhang Haiyan are among them.

Li Heng paused, and then, under the gaze of everyone, he stepped aside and came to Xiao Han and asked:
"Wife, when did you come?"

The word "daughter-in-law" brought a smile to the dark-hearted face.

In this situation, Xiao Han felt a little restrained for no reason. She smiled sweetly and said, "I just got here not long ago."

Li Heng looked at her, half believing it.

Zhang Haiyan, who was standing next to him, testified: "Great writer, Hanhan and I did just get here. We were originally not free today because Professor Wen Yan called us to the hospital to observe an operation. But after hearing the news from you, Professor Wen arranged for someone to send us here."

Li Heng asked, "Why didn't you come to Lushan Village to find me?"

Xiao Han cleared his throat and said crisply, "I was afraid that I would run out of time, so I didn't go to Lushan Village and came here directly."

Li Heng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. However, this was not the right occasion and he couldn't afford to waste time, so he gave careful instructions and left.

Li Heng left, but many people's eyes remained on Xiao Han.

These eyes scanned up and down, like infrared rays, as if trying to dig out all the secrets of Xiao Han.

Student Union area.

Ye Ning, who was unaware of the situation, said to Mai Sui with an indignant look on his face: "Sui Sui, you can't do this anymore. You have to work harder, otherwise Li Heng and Xiao Han will be completely tied together."

Although the distance was far, I couldn't hear clearly what Li Heng and Xiao Han were talking about?
But in front of so many people and on such an important occasion, Li Heng, who was late himself, still ran to say hello to Xiao Han. This treatment was too generous, too special, and too enviable.

Even Ye Ning, an outsider, felt envious when he saw it.

Sun Manning had the same idea as Ye Ning, but she didn't say it out loud because she knew that even if she squeezed out Xiao Han, it would never be Mai Sui's turn to take the first place, so she could only stare blankly.

Mai Sui smiled and seemed quite cheerful.

Zhou Shihe looked at Xiao Han in a simple black and white manner, then looked at Teacher Yu who was walking with Li Heng. She then retracted her gaze, with a calm expression, but suddenly in her mind popped up the scene of the two of them living together in the capital, and the scene of him calling her name in his sleep.

She was smart and knew very well what it meant when a man called her name in his sleep. It went without saying.

As she thought about it, Zhou Shihe pouted her clever little mouth, looked up at Li Heng again, then her eyelids drooped, and she slowly closed her eyes to take a nap, clearing away all distracting thoughts.

After a short meeting, Mai Sui noticed her condition and asked with concern: "Shihe, are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Shihe said quietly: "No."

Mai Sui asked, "Are you tired from cooking?"

They got up very early this morning and cooked a lot of dishes, working for several hours straight. Even Mai Sui felt her legs were a little tired from standing.

"Fortunately."

Zhou Shihe responded, smiling gently and changing the subject: "After lunch, accompany me to Jing'an."

In fact, she was just trying to be considerate and give Susu a way out.

Xiao Han came suddenly, and with Sui Sui's non-competitive personality, she naturally made room for the two of them.

But people are made of flesh and blood. When it comes to relationships between men and women, who can truly remain calm?
No matter how selfless you are, it is inevitable that you will have emotional fluctuations when you see your loved one with another woman.

Zhou Shihe was afraid that her best friend would feel uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to distract her.

Mai Sui knew her good intention and agreed.

When he saw Xiao Han, Shen Xin frowned slightly; but when he saw his daughter and Li Heng walking together, Shen Xin's brows relaxed again.

Unlike her biological mother, what Yu Shuheng was thinking at this moment was: we must shut up these journalists and media and prevent the photos of Li Heng and Xiao Han's meeting from being circulated in the newspapers.

Although the conversation between Li Heng and Xiao Han just now was very normal, she also believed that the reporters and media in front could not hear the word "wife".

But we are not stupid, we can all use our imagination.

There were so many people around, but Li Heng ignored everyone and chose to talk to Xiao Han. What's more, Xiao Han's facial features were so delicate and beautiful, which made her even more worth talking about.

Of course, Yu Shuheng wanted to prevent the photos from leaking out, partly for the sake of his reputation.

Because the boy and Song Yu were already a recognized couple in Peking University, if the news of him dating Xiao Han came out now, not only would he be embarrassed, but Song Yu and Xiao Han would also be embarrassed.

The Song family of Dongting Lake was equally embarrassed.

In addition, it is undeniable that Yu Shuheng also had selfish motives, as this man was the husband she wanted to marry in the future. Due to some unavoidable special reasons, she could turn a blind eye to his current philandering, but she could not make his emotional affairs public to the outside world too early, as this would be disadvantageous to her.

Huang Zhijun stared at Xiao Han for a long time. Although she knew of Xiao Han's existence and had seen her photos before, she had to admit that she was more beautiful and feminine in person than in photos.

Although Huang's mother is no longer in danger of death and has woken up, she is still lying on a hospital bed, waiting for further observation.

The second sister Huang Zhiyun came today to find an opportunity to talk to Li Heng and to have a frank talk with him about her younger sister.

Let’s see if there will be a turning point?

After all, my younger sister was stubborn and didn't want to cause trouble for Li Heng. So she had to find another way, starting from Li Heng, the source, and try to find a solution that the Huang family could accept.

At this moment, many boys and girls in Xianghui Hall were looking at Xiao Han. Especially the girls, they were almost envious and jealous, and they couldn't hide it. They were all thinking: There are so many women in the world, why is Xiao Han the only one with such a good life?
They caught a man like Li Heng before entering the school? If they don't give him a chance, will they let him live?
Girls with average conditions may just feel jealous.

But those girls who are well-off are feeling extremely uncomfortable. They wish they could replace Xiao Han and have a perfect partner like Li Heng.

Sensing the gazes from all around, Zhang Haiyan reached out and pulled Xiao Han's sleeve: "Hanhan, have you realized? You're almost becoming a public enemy."

Xiao Han has always been a pretentious girl with outstanding grace, calmness and self-possession in front of others. She may be sad inside but appear calm on the surface. Fortunately, Mr. Li did not disappoint this beauty today.

The reason why she didn't go to Lushan Village was that she wanted to test it by showing up suddenly.

Find out the bottom!
How much good things about me my honey can still remember after I am no longer in Fudan University? Has she been completely corrupted by Mai Shuhe?
Obviously, Li Heng's performance just now was perfect and she could not find any fault with it.

The only thing that makes me unhappy is that Yu Shuheng is like a follower, following him wherever he goes. Hey, hey, hey! You are so shameless to cling to my man. Do you really have no shame? Does your father know?

She didn't mention Yu Shuheng's mother, because that old woman was even more shameless. The eight rules for chasing a husband in "Jane Eyre" were now in her hands.

In fact, Xiao Han is sometimes quite frustrated. It is obvious that he is her man, but she does not have a background like the Yu family and cannot give him much help in his career. This is her shortcoming.

It is also the shortcoming of Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Song.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, Li Heng walked like a star on the red carpet, and the aisle seemed particularly long.

It was actually very short, and I reached the front row in just over two minutes.

When passing by Statistics Class 2, Li Heng did not act aloof. Instead, he greeted his classmates with a smile on his face.

When passing by two dormitory rooms, fortunately, the things he was worried about did not happen.

The guys in dormitory 325 were still as cheerful as ever, and Li Guoyi still blew him a kiss shamelessly.

This caused laughter from those around.

Actually, think about it. Although his status is different now, and there is a gap between him and his roommates, how many professors at Fudan University these days are mediocre? Many of them are well-known in the country, right? We are used to seeing great people, so what's the harm in having one more great person?
Besides, he's a talented person from my dormitory, so I can't wait to curry favor with him. Only a fool would deliberately avoid him.

Besides, they were all top students of Fudan University, and they were all top students in various places. They all had their own pride. Life was long, and they could show their talents after graduation. They admired Li Heng from the bottom of their hearts, but they also had the spirit of not admitting defeat.

Li Heng's great achievements will confuse them and hit them in the short term, but after they adjust themselves, they will work harder and strive not to be the worst in the future.

This is the value of college students these days. They have all suffered since childhood. They have been poor, cold, hungry, sick, beaten by their parents, and looked down upon by others, but they are determined and have never thought of escaping.

Otherwise, China will usher in a technological blowout in the future, and will usher in China's rejuvenation and rise. It is because this generation of people has the spirit of tenacious struggle and enterprising spirit. In the face of difficulties, they are indestructible cockroaches.

Liu Yanling looked at him with a strange look in her eyes, and Li Heng, who had been involved in the business of playing around with women for many years, sensed it. But he pretended not to know, smiled at the girls in Dormitory 107, and walked away.

Wu Siyao also sneaked in. When she saw Xiao Han, she was not depressed at all, but felt a sense of excitement as if she had suddenly become enlightened.

She stood on tiptoe to look at Zhou Shihe, then at Xiao Han, and sure enough, it was the same as what she had inquired about: Zhou Shihe was not his girlfriend, but that woman was.

I heard that the woman was in Shanghai Medical University, which was far away from Fudan University, while Tongji University was very close to Fudan University. Does that mean she has a chance? If she works hard to poach people, she will have a chance?
Wu Siyao thought so and decided not to sneak on the bus to catch him anymore, but to chase him openly at Fudan University.

After hurrying for a long time, Li Heng and his group finally arrived at the front of Xianghui Hall and onto the stage.

At this moment, there is a row of seats facing the audience a little to the left of the stage. A rough count shows that there are 8 seats.

Li Heng is the protagonist today. This press conference was specially held for him. Naturally, he sat in the middle and occupied the C position.

He actually wanted to give way to Mr. Jin Yong, Mr. Ba, Editor-in-Chief Liao and Principal Sun, or to someone within his physical condition.

But they are all old hands who have been in society for many years, and they still have some knowledge. Li Heng's humility is a way of dealing with the world and he is giving them enough face in front of everyone, but they can't really sit down.

Otherwise whoever sits on it is an idiot!
After Li Heng took his seat, Jin Yong, Principal Sun, Mr. Ba, Editor-in-Chief Liao, Yu Shuheng and two people from the system sat in a row.

Wow! This lineup is quite luxurious!
There was only one thing: Yu Shuheng stood out quite a bit. But those in the know knew that she had the right to sit there.

Why? Why?
Because his last name is Yu, isn’t that enough?
Because all along, Teacher Yu has been Li Heng’s external spokesperson to some extent. Is that enough?

Today's host is not a student, but a young female leader of the Youth League Committee, who looks very dignified and friendly.

Due to the tight schedule and the fact that Li Heng and his group were half an hour late, the host was afraid that the journalists and students would be resentful, so he tactfully gave a brief introduction to the situation in the opening remarks.

Then the whole focus shifted to Li Heng.

The hostess invited Li Heng to the center of the stage, handed him a microphone, and asked him with a smile: "December? Can I formally call you December now?"

"Oh, don't call me 'you'. It's too embarrassing. I'm still young. Teacher, just call me by my name." Li Heng first apologized to the audience and journalist friends for being late with a good attitude, and then continued the conversation humbly.

The female host laughed heartily, "Okay, then let's be straightforward and skip the word 'you'. I'll just call you December."

"Well, I'll listen to the teacher." Li Heng agreed readily.

The female host smiled at the audience, "Did you hear that? The person next to me is extraordinary. It is none other than the legendary writer Shi Er Yue who wrote To Live, The Big Troublemaker, Cultural Journey, and White Deer Plain in the past two years..."

As they were introduced one by one, there was thunderous applause from the audience, just as expected.

After the applause, the female host noticed that Li Heng looked a little strange, so she asked carefully, "December, you have a weird expression. Was there something wrong with your introduction just now?"

Li Heng asked back: "I wrote "The Big Troublemaker" secretly, how did you know? Who betrayed me?"

"Hahaha…"

There was laughter from below again.

The host looked at Editor-in-Chief Liao cooperatively.

Li Heng then turned to Editor-in-Chief Liao, pretending to be a bit hostile, and fired off a barrage of questions: "My most beloved senior, is it you? You stabbed me in the back like this? Where's your credibility? Did you eat the dog?"

"Hahaha…"

The audience laughed.

Every seat had a microphone. Editor-in-Chief Liao picked up the microphone and said, "Last night, Fudan University came to me to find out about your situation, and I accidentally let it slip."

In order to lighten the mood, Li Heng didn't want to let him off like this, but instead held on to him and said in a sinister tone:

"I reached an agreement with your company at the beginning. The Big Troublemaker cannot disclose my identity to the public, even if you kill me. My dear senior brother, is this true?"

Everyone looked at Editor-in-Chief Liao, wanting to see how he would explain.

Editor-in-Chief Liao said awkwardly, "It's my fault. How about I drink three cups of wine at noon as punishment?"

Li Heng waved his hand, "How is that possible? Three glasses of wine are free? Drinking for free? Just wait for the court summons."

Editor-in-Chief Liao immediately looked bitter.

This time, the entire Xianghui Hall was not just happy, but crazy with joy!
The leaders on the stage were happy, and the teachers and students below were even more delighted.

In just a few moments, Li Heng's image suddenly became clearer. In everyone's mind, he was not so cold and unattainable. Not only did they forgive him for being half an hour late, but their liking for him increased greatly.

After the laughter, the topic returned to the female host.

The host asked curiously: "Honestly speaking, if Editor-in-Chief Liao hadn't mentioned The Big Troublemaker, we wouldn't have known there was such a book.

I flipped through this book last night and it's quite interesting. Why don't you want to admit it?"

Everyone at the scene was curious about this question.

Li Heng said: "Teacher, since you have read it, you should know the difference between "The Big Troublemaker" and my other three books, right?"

The female host said: "Yes, the words, tone and writing style are completely different. Why is that?"

Li Heng lowered his head and sighed: "This is not a very glorious past. I don't really want to talk about it."

The host encouraged, "You can bring it up, everyone likes to hear it."

Li Heng asked: "Teacher, do you remember this sentence: If the enemy can go, I can go too?"

The host nodded: "Emperor Wu of Han said this when he was at war with the Xiongnu. What does this have to do with it?"

Li Heng said: "When I first wrote To Live, there was a person who kept complaining about me in the newspapers, saying that I couldn't write about the life atmosphere of the capital.

In fact, I know that person just wants to take advantage of my fame, blackmail me, and take advantage of me. At that time, my high school principal came to comfort me and told me not to worry about it, to write well, and to study hard for the exam. Originally..."

At this point, he paused, leaving the audience in suspense.

The host quickly asked, "You've whetted my appetite. Stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me the next part. What is it?"

Li Heng went on to say: "Originally I had let it go and didn't care about it. But who would have thought that the principal, who had just advised me to let it go, would suddenly change his attitude. He was so protective of his son that he immediately started a fight with that old man from Beijing and started a war of words with him in the newspaper.

The verbal battle was fierce and lasted for a long time. Both sides cursed for more than 20 days, but my high school principal didn’t win. So he asked two teachers to write articles to help him curse, but he still didn’t win…”

Before he finished speaking, there was laughter from both the stage and the audience. Everyone was laughing so hard that they fell down, and their minds automatically imagined the scene of the three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

Everyone laughed for a long time, almost half a minute.

When the laughter died down, Li Heng continued to speak under the host's questioning: "After learning about the situation, I felt that I couldn't let it go on like this. I couldn't watch three elders who loved me suffer this kind of bullshit, so I decided to change my pen name and write a down-to-earth novel to slap Beijing Lao Wang in the face."

The host nodded: "This is a unique form of communication among scholars. In order to vent the teacher's anger, he created "The Big Troublemaker"? "

Li Heng is right.

The host asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "What was the final result?"

Li Heng said: "The result? Didn't I say it before? If the enemy can go, I can go too. The offense and defense have changed. After I changed my pen name and published "The Big Troublemaker", that old Wang in Beijing kept praising me in the newspaper, saying that this was a novel written by a real man, and that it captured the atmosphere of Beijing.

Speaking of which, Lao Wang from Beijing is quite interesting. He deliberately compared "The Troublemakers" and "To Live" in the newspaper, praising "The Troublemakers" and criticizing "To Live".

He even called out to me, asking me to learn from the writer of The Big Troublemaker, saying that this is a true literary work.

"Clap clap clap..."

There was applause from the audience, everyone was laughing and clapping wildly!
Applaud Li Heng for his unyielding spirit and applaud Li Heng for venting his anger on behalf of the three teachers.

I even applauded Old Wang from Beijing. This guy is so funny. I didn't expect that he would be slapped in the face like this.

It is almost foreseeable that when today's press conference is published in the newspapers, the face of Mr. Wang from Beijing will be extremely interesting and he will be too embarrassed to face anyone.

What is wisdom? This is fucking wisdom!

I won't scold you like a bitch. Hey! I will write a book so that you can praise me in return and scold yourself and hit yourself in the face.

Xiao Han smiled sweetly and gazed at her honey, thinking she was so adorable.

Sun Manning whispered to Mai Sui, "Your man is full of lies, but I feel comfortable listening to them. I will call home and ask my dad and others not to expose the truth."

The three words "your man" made Mai Sui's ears feel a little hot. She inadvertently glanced at Xiao Han, who was in a large group on her left, and said nothing shyly.

Zhou Shihe's eyelids drooped slightly, and there was a faint smile in her pure and bright eyes.

The more Shen Xin in the audience looked at Li Heng, the more she liked him. This son-in-law was exactly what she wanted. Not only was he talented, but he was also very smart in his way of dealing with people.

The host asked: "Why is he called Beijing Lao Wang?"

Li Heng said: "They live in the capital."

Ps: Update first and then modify.
