Chapter 798 799. New Plans and New Novels

The father and son were sitting in the small living room talking. Cong Qiuhui also heard their conversation in the room and came out and said to Yue Wenxuan:
"Your father is highly valued by the leaders. He was mainly held back by me in the past. Now that I have resumed my work, he is not affected that much. If you talk to the leaders, maybe there is still hope for him to stay.

But it’s not the same for me. I can’t compare with others in terms of qualifications or ideas, so I can only accept the secondment obediently.

I hope this secondment won’t be too long and I can return to the company someday.”

Yue Wenxuan certainly didn't want his father to stay in the institute. After all, his father was not very valued in the institute and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything great in the future. If he was seconded to the university as a lecturer this time, he would have a great chance to stay and his future development prospects would be bright.

He began to think about how to convince his parents to accept his suggestion, and after a little thought he said:
"On the contrary, I think this is a good opportunity, and I think you should change your mindset.

Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed and the country has made such an important decision, do you think it is possible to return to the previous situation? "

Yue Xuchu immediately said, "Of course not. A country's education cannot stagnate for a long time. We have learned lessons from experience and will not make the same mistake again."

"Since you also think that the university will continue to operate, then how could the most important faculty in the school still be treated like the old ninth class?
You and my mother are intellectuals. We should have our own ideas and not just follow others. We should look ahead so that we can seize the opportunity when it comes.

I think this time, you two are seconded to a university as lecturers, which is a great opportunity.

You two are not valued in your workplace, and after you go to college, it will definitely not be the case now. After all, the college entrance examination has just been resumed, and everything is starting over. You can take advantage of this favorable situation and realize your own life value.

You have been working in colleges and universities for a few years. I think the professional title assessment will definitely be resumed in the future. Maybe in a few years, both of you will be Professor Yue and Professor Cong.

At that time, when students see you and greet you, they will call you Professor Yue and Professor Cong. Think about it, isn’t that exciting? "

Yue Xuchu laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, you actually learned to make big promises for us two. Your mother and I are not senile yet."

Cong Qiuhui also said: "Although your analysis is a little too rosy, it does make sense. I will think about it carefully with your father later.

Anyway, I wasn’t very happy in my previous unit, so this secondment might be a good opportunity.”

"Mom, do you have any definite information about which university you and my dad will be seconded to?"

Yue Wenxuan is quite concerned about the whereabouts of his parents. At this time, the gap between universities is not that big, but the gap will be too big in the future.

Cong Qiuhui said proudly: "Your mother is proficient in English, French and German. I have translated and published two monographs in the past few years. In terms of ability, I can be regarded as a first-class talent in the translation industry.

Many universities have sent me secondment letters, including Kyoto University, and I will most likely go to the Spanish Department of Kyoto University.

Your father's situation is similar to mine. After all, he is also a person with scientific research achievements, and many universities want to second him.

As for how to choose, we are not stupid. If we agree to be seconded, we will definitely give priority to famous universities. "

After knowing his parents' thoughts, Yue Wenxuan felt relieved. Even without his persuasion, it seemed unlikely that his parents would stay in their original unit. He believed that his parents would make a wise choice.

Yue Wenxuan knew that his parents were also people with ideals and ambitions. Due to the times, they had been in difficulties for so many years. If they could have a platform in the future that allowed them to fully display their abilities, their later years would surely be smoother and more fulfilling.

There is still about a week before the symposium, and Yue Wenxuan plans to write a novel he has just conceived in these few days.

In this newly conceived novel, Yue Wenxuan intends to write a hazy, beautiful and pure love story.

During this period, love stories were still a forbidden area for writing, but at the same time, they were also a subject that countless young people were extremely eager to write. Yue Wenxuan believed that if he could write this novel well, it might be more popular than the previous one.

The story he wanted to write was actually very simple, about the process of an educated youth and a rural girl from knowing each other to falling in love and then parting.

The educated youth belonged to the black class and suffered all kinds of discrimination, difficulties and different treatment in life and work. Only the rural girl Xiaofang gave her warmth and care.

Through their interactions in work and life, the two got to know each other and then fell in love. In this process, both of them felt the sweetness and beauty of love.

If there were no disturbances in their lives, the two might have had a happy ending.

But at this time, the protagonist's father resumed his work, and the story finally ended with the protagonist leaving the village.

The whole story is not complicated, even a bit dull. Writing this story well is a big challenge for Yue Wenxuan.

It took Yue Wenxuan a week and three revisions before he finally finalized the short story "Xiao Fang" of less than 30,000 words.

The day before the symposium, Qu Zhize once again stepped into the courtyard where Yue Wenxuan worked.

As soon as they met, he said to Yue Wenxuan: "You must bribe me today. I will do the thing you forced me to do for you."

"So, from now on I can get 7 yuan per thousand words, right?"

Qu Zhize said unhappily, "It's not even dark yet, what are you dreaming about? If you want to get 7 yuan per thousand words, you have to work harder. Now I can only get you 6 yuan per thousand words."

"So it's six yuan per thousand words." Yue Wenxuan's tone was full of disappointment. "Hearing your arrogant tone and actively asking me to bribe you, I thought you had accomplished something big. My expectations were in vain."

"I think you are just greedy and never satisfied. If it weren't for those two boxes of tea, I would never go along with you. Do you know what I paid to get this standard for you?"

Seeing Qu Zhize's painful expression, Yue Wenxuan said naturally: "It's just a waste of words at most. With your face full of profiteers, you will definitely not do a business that loses money. You will definitely be reluctant to share the two boxes of tea I gave you with your leaders."

Qu Zhize glared at Yue Wenxuan, "What I paid for was my dignity and integrity!" "Do you know how painful it is for me? For so many years, I have worked diligently and treated my colleagues with humility and kindness. The good reputation I have built up for so many years has been ruined in your hands.

Just because I fought for a higher standard of remuneration for you, my boss criticized me for not standing firm, and his impression of me plummeted. He might even make things difficult for me in the future. Just tell me how to compensate me?" Qu Zhize naturally recovered his self-confidence.

"At noon today, our store has improved the food. In addition to crystal jelly, the chef also stewed a large pot of lamb ribs. I would like to ask you, the editor, to stay and taste it. Is this sincerity okay?"

Qu Zhize's attitude immediately softened. "You're too polite. I never refuse anyone. Since you invite me so warmly, I'll stay for dinner."

"You didn't come here today just to get a free meal, did you?"

"I know you want to improve the food today, this is indeed one of the reasons." Qu Zhize said confidently, "The other is to inform you of the venue for tomorrow's meeting. I'm afraid you can't find the place, so I came here to remind you."

Yue Wenxuan ignored him, opened the drawer, took out a stack of manuscript paper and handed it to Qu Zhize, "This is a short story I just finished. Do you think it's good?"

"You have a new work so soon. You are really a quick shooter. After all, you are young and your efficiency is different."

Qu Zhize's face was full of joy. He took the manuscript and opened it to read without waiting for a moment.

He read it very seriously, but it was just a short story after all. When Yue Wenxuan came back from outside, he had already finished reading the novel and was thinking quietly.

Without waiting for Yue Wenxuan to ask, he exclaimed: "The story is very beautiful, the language is fresh and elegant, meaningful and ethereal, and it makes people feel refreshed when reading it.

Although it's about love and the subject matter is a bit bold, but under your writing, the whole story doesn't have the slightest sense of vulgarity, which is very good and rare.

Because you wrote this story so well and so touchingly, the ending is even more difficult to accept, but I think it is a very good ending.

I can already foresee that once this novel is published, it will definitely cause a huge sensation, and its influence may not be less than that of your previous novel.

Even the ending of the story will probably make countless people feel unhappy, and more readers will surely send letters to our magazine."

At this point, Qu Zhize couldn't help but start complaining: "We have already accumulated two sacks full of letters from readers about your last novel. If you don't take them away quickly, there will be no place to put them."

Yue Wenxuan said: "You know our housing conditions. We are almost out of space and have no place to store the readers' letters.

There are only a few rooms in our unit and space is also very tight. I really can't make any room.

Your magazine has such a big warehouse, so I'll keep them there for now. When I have some free space, I'll definitely bring them over."

"You are such a strange person. If it were any other young writer, they would be so happy to receive so many letters from readers for the first time.

How come you act like it's commonplace? I don't know how you developed this mentality?"

“If there were only a few letters from readers, I would definitely be very excited and would definitely be very proactive in replying to them one by one.

But when you first told me the news, you had already accumulated a sack of letters from readers. How could you make me excited?
My daily work schedule is full, but I still have to find time to write and prepare for the college entrance examination. How do you want me to read so many letters from readers?
I have to wait until the college entrance examination is over before I can spare the time to deal with this matter.

If you have some spare time, why don't you help me deal with it? After all, you are my editor, and I definitely trust you."

Qu Zhize shook his head like a wave drum, "I'm very busy every day, you should handle it yourself, I can't help you with this."

If he were a young man, he might have taken the initiative to help Yue Wenxuan solve this problem, but a middle-aged veteran like him had long passed the age of passion and impulse, and would definitely not take on such trouble.

When he thought of those sacks of letters from readers, he would never let himself get involved in this troublesome matter. If he really took on this matter, his hands would be swollen from opening the letters every day.

"Well, since you don't want to help, it should be okay for me to keep it for a while, right?"

Yue Wenxuan gave up and settled for the next best thing. Qu Zhize felt embarrassed to refuse and said generously: "Then put it in the warehouse for the time being. After you finish the college entrance examination, you still have to find a way to deal with it as soon as possible. After all, it is the enthusiasm of the readers, you don't want to disappoint them, right?"

Recently, the enthusiasm for study and work at Red Star Department Store has been high. Several people preparing for the college entrance examination study until late at night every day, and others also work overtime until late every day.

Yue Wenxuan, the black-hearted boss, felt somewhat guilty when he saw this situation. He couldn't continue to raise everyone's salary, so he could only give everyone some compensation in terms of food.

This morning, he came a little late, and found an excuse to bring more than 20 kilograms of lamb ribs for everyone. Yue Wenxuan specially selected the lamb ribs with large meat, so that everyone could eat more meat.

Ever since Cai Youliang put the lamb ribs into the pot, everyone seemed to work more enthusiastically, and everyone had a happy smile on their face.

Qu Zhize smelled the strong aroma of mutton, and his already dry stomach became even hungrier. He couldn't help but ask:
"Wenxuan, what time do you guys have dinner? It's almost twelve o'clock, isn't it time for everyone to rest?"

"Dinner will be served soon. Let's go to the kitchen now. I will make sure you have enough to eat today."

Considering that there were guests today, Yue Wenxuan specially took out two bottles of Moutai liquor from under his bed.

This was the first time that Yue Wenxuan entertained Qu Zhize, the big editor, in the company cafeteria, so he couldn't treat him badly.

When they learned that the editor-in-chief Qu Zhize would also be eating in the cafeteria, everyone was very enthusiastic when they saw him.

For the young intellectuals present, no matter what their literary level was, there was no one who did not like to read "People's Literature".

In this era, there are too few literary magazines that people can read. The status of People's Literature is irreplaceable in everyone's mind. And Qu Zhize, the editor of People's Literature, has a sacred status in everyone's mind.
