Literary Master 1983

Chapter 215 Yu Qie has a reporter accompanying him

Yu Qie has listed a complete plan, and whether he can raise tens of millions of yuan in donations will be highly related to his personal achievements.

Either mobilize the masses or rely on the rich to spend money.

There are currently few wealthy people in mainland China who can donate large sums of money, so we can only mobilize the masses, but the wealthy can turn to the Japanese.

The current economic gap between the mainland and Japan is too large, and this gap is more obvious in individuals. For example, in the China-Japan competition, the country generously donated money and offered the highest bonus of "10,000 yuan (some say 2,000 US dollars)" to Jiang Zhujiu, while the Japanese players on the other side are considering whether 8 million yen (500,000 yuan) is worth participating in the competition.

Because in Japan, the highest prize money for Go competitions has reached tens of millions of yen, and many Japanese players are persuaded to participate in the competition for honor rather than wealth. If you win, you don't make money, but if you lose, you will be embarrassed abroad, which is a thankless job.

Japanese people are very rich!

People in Beijing know about this probably because last year a sanitation worker accidentally inherited 30 billion yen in assets from his uncle, a traitor in Japan, which is equivalent to million yuan!
The amount was so huge that the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council personally urged the sanitation worker to go to Tokyo to sue (there were several impostors). After winning the lawsuit, the sanitation worker donated 24 billion yen of the money - you see, her inheritance alone is enough to vaccinate all the people born in the s in China against polio.

But how to mobilize the masses?

Write other novels, or make movies... But no matter what, individuals cannot raise large sums of money in the name of charity. This must be permitted and coordinated.

"Jingle Bell!"

Yu Qie rode his bicycle to the editorial office to find Zhang Shouren.

Zhang Shouren didn't read the novel, but said, "Yu Qie, we'd like to apply for a landline telephone for your residence, and our magazine will pay for it."

"Why do we need to install a telephone?"

Zhang Shouren said: "It's too slow for us to communicate through letters. Besides, I'm not as young as I used to be. It snowed in the past two weeks and I fell several times."

"Row."

Yu Qie no longer dwelled on this issue.

The last time Wang Shimin was hospitalized, it was Luo Yihe who notified him. In order to hurry up, Luo Yihe's feet were almost smoking, and he didn't know if he fell. Luo Yihe probably had a genetic history related to cerebral hemorrhage, and he couldn't stand falling and staying up late. In fact, he was not suitable for such hard work.

This is a very naive good brother. When his girlfriend asked him to marry her, Luo Yihe asked her, "Why should we get married? A marriage certificate is not a guarantee of marriage."

The girlfriend said aggrievedly: "I have no problem, it's mainly because my family doesn't agree."

Luo Yihe's father is the former director of the Planning Commission, and his girlfriend's father is the president of the State-owned Map Publishing House. He actually asked why we wanted to get a marriage certificate?

Then they rode their bikes, met their parents, had dinner and went to get their marriage certificate. There was no wedding and no wedding dress.

It is conceivable that Luo Yihe is not physically fit and his personality is not suitable, and he cannot correctly judge the risks of a matter.

Of course, compared with Cha Haisheng who practices martial arts every day, Luo Yihe is simply a perfect man.

Zhang Shouren still did not read the novel, but asked Yu Qie to wait for a while. Beijing Publishing House recommended a new editor-in-chief, who would come to meet Yu Qi soon to see if Yu Qi thought it was good.

Many editors value Yu Qie's opinions.

Unexpectedly, the editor-in-chief came soon. She was a female editor named "Su Yu". She was originally in the novel group, helping Zhang Shouren, and this time she became the editor-in-chief.

Su Yu was an acquaintance of Yu Qie. Not only was she a graduate of the Journalism Department of Yan University and a native of Sichuan Province, she had also worked as an editor of middle school Chinese textbooks and a reporter for the Ta Kung Pao. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or not, but she was almost tailor-made for Yu Qie.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Teacher Yu, do you approve of me being the new editor-in-chief of October?"

"Why not? You are absolutely suitable to be the editor-in-chief! I fully support the publisher's opinion!"

The editorial department made a quick decision and started voting immediately. Su Yu was eventually elected as the new editor-in-chief of October.

Yu Qie was very surprised and asked Zhang Shouren privately: "Old Zhang, why don't you become the editor-in-chief?"

Zhang Shouren shook his head: "I have already used up all my energy just to run your work. I think I need to recruit one or two more people!"

"If you're hiring again, you have to hire some pretty girls. There are too many Luohan in the editorial department!"

"Yu Qie!" Zhang Shouren said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The phone took two days to install, and Yu Qie moved into his "new" home with floor heating. This time it wasn't cold at all, and inside the house, he even felt weirdly hot even when he put on an extra layer of clothes.

At this time, it was close to the end of the year, and the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" was on vacation. Zhang Li came to Yanjing from Zhengding, and Yu Qi was very happy, but he didn't expect that she brought a burden, Chen Xiaoxu.

Oops! I got the MVP?

When Chen Xiaoxu saw the expression on Yu Qie's face, she was very happy: "Yu Qie, don't you like me coming? I want to come! Zhang Li invited me here, go find her!"

"This house is so warm! It's so luxurious!" Chen Xiaoxu really enjoys this courtyard.

Why is my wife wearing the same pants as Chen Xiaoxu... Ugh! It's a skirt!

Having elbows turned outward is not acceptable, even for a woman with elbows turned outward!

Zhang Li apologized to Yu Qie: "Brother Yu, Xiao Xu will only stay in Yanjing for a few days and then go home. Aren't we going home this year too?"

Yes, that being said...

Chen Xiaoxu's ears stood up: "You guys are going to go home this year? You guys want to meet your parents?"

"We are going to meet each other. We are living together. How can we not meet? Are you jealous again?" Yu Qi said.

Zhang Li blushed and said, "We don't really live together. Most of the time I'm somewhere else."

"It means living together." Yu Qie said.

Yeah, if this isn’t cohabitation, then what is it?
They lived together right under my nose!
Chen Xiaoxu was stunned, holding her chin with her hands. She felt a sour and bitter feeling. Her mind told her to congratulate the newlyweds, but her emotions made her shocked and confused.

In the end, she couldn't utter a word.

The rest of their lives turned into a pattern of Yu Qie and Chen Xiaoxu bickering, with Zhang Li interjecting and asking them not to be angry.

For example, Yu Qie never does housework or washes dishes. He is a complete master.

Zhang Li was used to it, but Chen Xiaoxu couldn't stand it: "Yu Qie, you are well-read, why don't you advocate equality between men and women?"

"No, no, no," Yu Qie had a twisted logic, "We each have our own responsibilities. I am responsible for making money, and Zhang Li is responsible for taking care of the family - of course, she is still filming now."

Chen Xiaoxu went to Zhang Li again and said, "You can't spoil him like this!" Zhang Li said, "Xiaoxu, Yu Qie is right."

He also advised Chen Xiaoxu: "You can't act like a spoiled brat. You have to be like this in the future."

Chen Xiaoxu was speechless and sulked to himself: Why are Chinese women so disappointing?
Even though Yu Qie was so outstanding, she had already completely acknowledged it, but even for such an outstanding person, could it be that he couldn't even maintain basic manners?

Zhang Shouren likes the novel "Little Shoes" very much. He thinks it is a new peak of Yu Qie's novels. There is no better response to the criticism that Yu Qie can only write about grand events but not about family matters.

"We are just like flapping our wings in the Brazilian jungle and bringing about a strong wind! Or throwing a snowball on the snowy mountains of Central Europe and watching it trigger an avalanche! Boom! Let all those who don't believe be buried in the wind and snow!"

Zhang Shouren was even more excited than Yu Qie!
He was so anxious that he immediately used the phone.

It was also the first time for Yu Qie to use a fixed home telephone from the 1980s. This phone was quite primitive, with no mute button, and muting was done by covering the receiver with your hand. If there was any disturbance, everyone in the house could hear it, and the ringing tone of the phone was extremely loud.

"This is Yu Qie, what's going on?"

Chen Xiaoxu and Zhang Li both put down what they were doing and listened to the phone call carefully.

"Yu Qie!" Zhang Shouren said, "We have passed the review and arranged to publish it in the February issue of October. Su Yu has an idea to make October a monthly magazine. We originally published a bimonthly magazine, which is a bit insufficient... From now on, your work will no longer have the embarrassment of having to wait a month to be published."

"I strongly support it," said Yu Qie.

"After October was published, we immediately granted the reprint rights to other magazines. I have already asked People's Literature, and they agreed. We want to spread the influence of your novel as much as possible!"

Yu Qie spread his hands: "I totally agree."

The two girls' eyes lit up when they heard this: Yu Qie was so impressive! The famous literary magazines were like broad beans in his hands, being distributed here and there.

Zhang Shouren finally asked, "Do you know Xu Chi?"

"The author of 'Goldbach's Conjecture'?"

"Yes, that's him. He is a reportage writer and the editor-in-chief of Foreign Literature Research. Have you ever submitted a manuscript to this magazine? The Writers Association invited him to write a reportage for you, just like he wrote a reportage for Chen Jingrun."

"Is he going to follow me all the time?"

"Yes, until you go to Japan."

"I'm already famous now, so I don't think I need Teacher Xu Chi to write a report for me, right?"

"That's wrong. Aren't you going to promote the sugar pills and get people to donate? We'll let you promote as much as you want this time!"

After hanging up the phone, Yu Qie asked Zhang Li: "Did you hear what I just said? A reportage writer is coming to see me, who is equivalent to my accompanying reporter."

Zhang Li said: "I heard it, it seems like he is a very good author."

"You don't understand! Reportage takes a long time to write. In order to write about Chen Jingrun, Xu Chi became friends with Chen Jingrun and lived with him for more than 40 days. He managed to break Chen Jingrun's heart! They even said they fell in love with each other. Do you understand now?"

Zhang Li came to her senses.

That is to say, they can't go back together this year. Xu Chi came to record the writer Yu Qie, not a loving couple.

How powerful is the article "Goldbach's Conjecture"? To some extent, it has shaped the group of "civilian scientists" in China. The protagonist "Chen Jingrun" in the article was originally a low-key mathematician, at most a little introverted - not even necessarily introverted, maybe just because he was bullied and didn't like to be in the limelight.

However, in Xu Chi's writing, Chen Jingrun became a mathematical genius who was ignorant of the world and a very charming saint-like figure. Chen Jingrun was harmless and innocent, devoted to the pursuit of truth, and embodied all the truth, goodness and beauty of an intellectual.

After reading Goldbach's Conjecture, many leaders tried to meet with Chen Jingrun, saying, "It would be great if China had a thousand Chen Jingruns! They should be cherished and praised!"

What a high and wonderful evaluation.

Hey! Who knows... this time my bridge practice was not in vain!
It would be better to call Ma Shi Tu as well. Yu Qi may not be able to release the water at the right time, but Ma Shi Tu is really bad at playing cards!
So, the plan of the two going home together fell through. Zhang Li looked extremely disappointed but still insisted, which made Chen Xiaoxu very upset. He said, "Come back home with me! We don't need to rely on him at all!"

Zhang Li was somewhat moved by what she said.

In the following days, Chen Xiaoxu took her around Beijing to wander around and have fun. Chen Xiaoxu also wanted to let Zhang Li ride a motorcycle, but unfortunately she gave up because she was too petite. However, they found that Yu Qie's helmet was missing. They asked Yu Qie: "Where is your helmet?"

Yu Qie said helplessly: "It was taken away!"

Zhang Li's eyes lit up: "Brother Yu, I'll go to Ancheng to see if I can get you a helmet."

Yu Qie asked, "Where can I buy foreign helmets in Ancheng? Is there a Friendship Store in Ancheng?"

"Yu Qie! Don't underestimate our Ancheng. We are very developed and have everything!" Chen Xiaoxu said angrily.

Since they said so, it means they are really going to celebrate the New Year together. I am afraid that the relationship between these two people in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the previous life was not as good as it is now. They are already as close as real sisters.

Yu Qie touched Zhang Li's head and said, "Go ahead, and be careful on the road."

Chen Xiaoxu was about to say, "What are you worried about! I will protect Zhang Li!" But Yu Qie said to her, "You too."

What is you too?
He cares about me too!

Chen Xiaoxu grinned and said, "Hey! We are all fine!"

In early February, Yu Qie’s novel "Little Shoes" was announced, and at the same time, the new National Excellent Short Story Award was announced: a rare thing happened in this year's short story selection!

It has never happened before that Yu Qi's novels "Letter from the Fiancée" and "Big Scatter" were selected at the same time.

This award was judged by the Writers Association. As mentioned earlier, the Writers Association's office was located in the Literary Gazette. They were crowded in the same building, separated only by an aisle. Letters from readers flooded the editorial office, making it difficult for the judges to make a decision, and these two novels received the top two votes.

Fourth place is the novel "Together with You", also written by Yu Qie.

The seventh place is "Kiss of Death".

Ninth place is "The Two of Us".

The other novels can be ignored and adjusted appropriately, but how can the top two be ignored?
The incredible result of one person winning the first two places made some writers feel unbalanced. Why should the cotangent be special? I have nothing.

They went to the Writers Association to make a fuss, and the association gave a readers' voting ranking: the results showed that the balance has been taken care of at present.

Well, I can only leave in shame.
