Literary Master 1978

Wang Meng is an airborne soldier and has no foundation in People's Literature. To reform the editorial board, he is also seeking support from external forces to a large extent.

After all, if the new editors are all brought in by him, his weight in the magazine will naturally become greater.

Before Lin Chaoyang, Wang Meng had contacted many writers, including Ru Zhijuan, Xu Huaizhong, Chen Rong, Huang Zongying, Jiang Zilong, etc.

Wang Meng also plans to add several old people in the editorial department to the new editorial board.

After dinner, when Wang Meng left, Tao Yushu told Lin Chaoyang about Wang Meng's plan and methods. After listening, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but admire him.

"It's a pity that he is an old fox and doesn't become an official!"

"Why are you saying bad things about him behind his back?"

"Am I saying bad things about him? I'm obviously praising him!"

The next day was the graduation ceremony for the 79th undergraduate class. Tao Yumo hung a camera on his chest and looked for people to take photos with.

At noon, a classmate of theirs went to a restaurant outside the school to have a farewell dinner. Tao Yumo asked Lin Chaoyang to go with her, not to treat him to a meal but to let him be a tool for taking photos.

A class of 52 people squeezed together to sit at five tables, each of which was filled with exquisite dishes, which was a rare high standard for students in four years of college.

Four years ago, this group of students gathered from all over the world to Yanjing, and now they will be scattered all over the world again.

Lin Chaoyang listened to these people discussing their assignments, most of whom were assigned to various local political and legal institutions.

If it were placed in the future, college students would probably wake up with laughter if they had such an assignment opportunity.

But what Lin Chaoyang heard most from these people was complaints, just like the assignment of the Chinese Department of the Class of 1977 last year.

Among them, there were those who were not satisfied with their blessings, and those who were confused and lacked confidence in the future.

Many others envied Tao Yumo and Cha Haisheng, who were assigned to the newly established University of Political Science and Law.

In the eyes of these students, becoming a university teacher after graduation is a better job than working in a political and legal institution.

Listening to the envy of her classmates, Tao Yumo said carelessly: "What's so good about it! I went to the Changping campus, which is more than 40 kilometers away from Yanjing."

As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted the criticism of her classmates, who criticized her for not knowing how to appreciate her blessings.

Happy times are always short. In the midst of toasting, Tao Yumo's college life ended. When she said goodbye to her classmates, she burst into tears. Lin Chaoyang took the opportunity to take a few ugly photos of her.

Tao Yumo graduated, and her family naturally wanted to celebrate for her. Tao's father planned to take his family to a restaurant in the evening.

The weather was hot in July, and it was too troublesome to go into the city, so Tao's father decided to celebrate at the Long March Restaurant outside the school.

Lin Chaoyang and his wife came to Langrun Lake Apartment after work to meet up with their family and saw Zhu Guangqian at home.

After saying hello, Lin Chaoyang quietly asked Tao Yumo, "Why did Lao Zhu come at this time?"

Tao Yumo was playing Tao Xiwen's game console, and replied to him without blinking, "I came to exchange books."

"Exchange books? What books?"

As Lin Chaoyang asked, Tao Xiwen, who was waiting anxiously on the side, hugged Tao Yumo's thigh, "Aunt, you have been playing for fifteen minutes, it's my turn, it's my turn!"

"Aunt is the elder, play for five more minutes."

Tao Yumo didn't bother to answer Lin Chaoyang's words, and comforted her impatient nephew.

Tao Yushu snatched the game console from her hand and scolded: "You are going to work, and you are still snatching toys from children, you are so shameless!"

The blood suppression from the eldest sister made Tao Yumo dare not act rashly, and she remembered Lin Chaoyang's question.

"The set of martial arts novels you gave to my eldest brother is in great demand now. People come to borrow books every day."

Nowadays, people lack entertainment means. Even novels like "War and Peace" can make many people enjoy reading, let alone martial arts novels.

Just the pirated serialization of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by "Wulin" has cultivated at least tens of millions of martial arts novel fans in China.

But this thing has not been introduced to the mainland for a long time. It was criticized as DC two years ago. Although there are many readers, there are few reading materials. Often, if someone has a martial arts novel in his hand, he will become a "mobile library" for people around him.

If there are two novels by Jin Yong or Liang Yusheng, the threshold of the house will be trampled.

The whole set of Jin Yong's martial arts novels that Lin Chaoyang gave to Tao Yucheng is as lethal as nuclear weapons today. No martial arts novel fan can resist this temptation.

"My eldest brother has been shaking recently!" Tao Yumo said sourly.

Lin Chaoyang glanced at his sister-in-law. Your elder brother is popular, why are you so jealous?

In fact, Tao Yumo was not jealous of her elder brother Tao Yucheng, but of her gift that she did not choose correctly.

Her elder brother's set of Jin Yong novels, which he could read by himself, became popular with everyone.

But her electronic watch was not popular except for a few classmates who envied it in the first few days. It was not as good as Tao Xiwen's game console. She regretted it when she thought about it.

Lin Chaoyang ignored Tao Yumo and ran to chat with Zhu Guangqian, "You also read martial arts novels?"

"What? I can't read it?"

"Look at you, I just asked casually, let's go to dinner together later!"

"What dinner? Don't delay me from reading novels!"

Zhu Guangqian had no awareness of "don't forget the well digger when you drink water". When he opened his mouth, he still had a familiar taste. He really became more rebellious as he got older.

"Read less martial arts novels. Your temper is caused by reading martial arts novels."

The two mocked each other. At this time, Tao Yucheng took out a copy of "Swordsman". Zhu Guangqian didn't care to scold Lin Chaoyang anymore. He took the novel and left.

Lin Chaoyang looked at the stubborn back of the old man and couldn't help sighing. A good master of aesthetics was ruined by martial arts novels!

"Martial arts novels are harmful to people!"

Tao Yushu patted him lightly, "Uncle Zhu is so old, why are you still joking with him?"

"You said it was a joke!"

After staying at Tao's house for a while, the family went out together and came to the Long March Restaurant outside the south gate.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, there was a large still of Cong Shan in "The Shepherd" on the wall, and next to it were Tang Guoqiang in "The Peacock Princess" and Zhang Yu in "Lush Mountain Love".

There were several tables of guests in the restaurant. Some men wore jeans with zippers in front, some women wore leggings, and some women wore bell-bottom pants and had big curly hair, which was very fashionable!

Tao Yushu looked around and couldn't help sighing, "Young people nowadays really wear all kinds of strange clothes."

As a person who can see patriotic sentiments when watching ballet, she naturally looked down on the fashion pursued by many young people in the past two years.

"Sister, they are fashionable, you are so old-fashioned! Besides, they are not necessarily younger than you."

You dare to talk back just after graduation, how can this be tolerated?

Tao Yushu's eyes made his sister shut up obediently.

Tao Yumo graduated today, and Tao's father and mother were the happiest. All three children graduated from college and joined the workforce. This success rate is also counted in the Langrun Lake Apartment area.

Speaking of graduation, it is inevitable to talk about work. Tao's father and mother are very satisfied with their youngest daughter's work.

Becoming a university teacher after graduation is also considered to be inheriting her father's legacy, but Tao Yumo is not happy when talking about work.

What she said to her classmates yesterday at noon was not a lie. In fact, it was a good job to be assigned to the School of Political Science and Law, because the old School of Political Science and Law is near Yanda University.

If she works here, Tao Yumo doesn't even need to live in the dormitory of the unit.

But there is always a gap between ideals and reality. The reason why she and Cha Haisheng were assigned to the School of Political Science and Law is because the School of Political Science and Law has just been established. Due to limited school building conditions, another campus is to be built in Changping, and a group of young and energetic teachers are needed to go to Changping as pioneers.

The new campus is still under construction. In order to make the employees not resist moving to Changping, the School of Political Science and Law first bought two buildings with more than 200 houses on Xihuan Road in Changping as welfare houses and dormitories for the school's cadres and young teachers.

Then they were mobilized to live in Changping, and school buses were specially arranged for this purpose to pick up cadres and teachers from Changping and Xueyuan Road every day.

The workplace was changed from the University of Political Science and Law to Changping. When Tao Yumo thought about the three-hour commute to and from get off work in the future, she felt hopeless in life.

Listening to her daughter's complaints, Tao's mother scolded her for not appreciating her blessings.

Tao Yumo was not angry and hugged her sister's arm and said, "Sister, your job is still good. The work is right at the doorstep."

Tao Yushu said, "It's not possible now. I forgot to tell you that I was transferred to People's Literature."

After she said this, the Tao family was full of questions.

Tao Yushu's job was transferred? When did it happen? How come they didn't know?

Nowadays, jobs are not like those in later generations, where you can change jobs at will. Most people spend their whole lives in the same unit. Tao Yushu has only graduated for more than a year. How can she be transferred to another unit?

Tao Yushu patiently explained a few words. The Tao family didn't know about the twists and turns within People's Literature.

But everyone understood that Tao Yushu's transfer there proved that she was valued by the leaders, and they were very happy for her.

It was already past seven in the evening when we finished eating. When the family came out of the Changzheng Restaurant, they saw that the lights in front of the newly opened laser halls not far from the south gate of the school had already been turned on.

In the past two years, there have been several dance halls in front of Yanda, including disco and various social dances, and most of the customers are college students from several nearby schools.

The ticket is two or three yuan, and you can play inside for a whole night.

This price is a luxury for most students, but many students still flock to it.

Many of the young people in strange costumes who had dinner at the Changzheng Restaurant just now went into the dance hall after dinner.

Tao Yumo's eyes lingered at the entrance of the laser hall for a few seconds, and Tao Yushu noticed it keenly, "You should stay away from such messy places."

"I didn't go!" Tao Yumo replied, and then mocked her sister, "Sister, you are really old-fashioned!"

Tao's father said: "Your sister is for your own good. Don't you understand the principle that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall?"

Tao's father is not an old antique who doesn't know how to adapt, but the public security in society has indeed become worse and worse in the past two years, which makes people have to worry. Places like dance halls should be kept away as far as possible.

"I know." After being scolded by his father, Tao Yumo became honest.

The students were on summer vacation, and the work in the library became easier. Lin Chaoyang began to consider resigning.

But when he thought of Xie Daoyuan's care for him, he couldn't open his mouth.

That day, he finally made up his mind and found Xie Daoyuan's office.

"What? Do you want to ask for leave?" Xie Daoyuan asked this question when he saw him coming.

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyang was a little embarrassed, "It's not about asking for leave."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Chaoyang hesitated and said, "I want to resign!"

Hearing these four words, Xie Daoyuan's originally relaxed expression immediately became serious, his eyes stared at Lin Chaoyang, and his eyebrows twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character.

He stood up and walked to the sofa, pulled Lin Chaoyang to sit down, and asked seriously, "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

The tone was similar to that of a junior high school student caught by the teacher for premature love, full of anger.

"It's not sudden. The main reason is that I can't balance my work and creation in the past two years. I'm asking for leave from the museum every two or three days, and I feel embarrassed."

Xie Daoyuan listened to his words, his eyebrows stood up, and he was intimidating without anger.

"I heard someone gossiping? Who spread it? I'll deal with him for you."

Lin Chaoyang hurriedly said, "No, no. I get along well with my colleagues. It's my own fault. I still want to focus more on creation."

Seeing Lin Chaoyang say this, Xie Daoyuan frowned, his face full of concern for the younger generation.

"Chaoyang, in fact, our library work is not that busy. Whether it is work or creation, it is essentially for life, and we can't put the cart before the horse.

I see that you have been under too much pressure recently. Why don't you go home and have a good rest during the summer vacation anyway, and come back to work when you are in a good mood.

You are just too demanding on your work!"

I am too demanding on my work?

Lin Chaoyang didn't know how to deal with Comrade Xie's confusing words.

Seeing that his tone was so earnest, Lin Chaoyang didn't know how to reject the proposal bluntly.

"Director, this is not appropriate, right?"

"What's inappropriate? I am the director, and I say it is appropriate!"

Xie Daoyuan's domineering speech almost made Lin Chaoyang bow down.

Or you can be the director!
