Chapter 38: Fame and Fortune
In 1999, the National Day, the first Golden Week was born, and the rare 7-day holiday made many Mei'an citizens begin to have the experience of traveling with a group for the first time.
However, watching the big military parade and traveling with a group has nothing to do with the current Lin Weidong, mainly because he has no idea of traveling, and he doesn't want to go to the crowded scenic spot to queue up.
On the morning of October 1, Xie Zhigang's family of four went back to their hometown to visit relatives and visit graves, while the Red Ant Internet Cafe was jointly guarded by Lin Weidong and Wang Taoxin.
It is impossible to let Wang Taoxin cook, and she can only call for fast food or simply eat instant noodles when she eats.
After eating instant noodles and fast food for a day, Lin Weidong thought that he couldn't go on like this, he felt that no matter whether he had money or not, it was always right to be kind to himself.
So, early the next morning, Lin Weidong went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and came back to cook.
A stir-fried meat with yuba, a stir-fried greens, and a pot of delicious fish head to cook soup, a simple meal that can't be simpler, but it makes the two of them eat with relish.
There are not many people surfing the Internet in the Internet café, and after eating and drinking, Lin Weidong and Wang Taoxin make tea at the cash register, and live an extremely happy and leisurely life.
Wang Taoxin took a sip of hot tea and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Weidong, why does your boss trust you so much? He is not afraid that you will take advantage of him to go home and move all the computers in the store?"
Lin Weidong smiled and quipped: "Do you think that these computers can be moved if I want to? Let me tell you, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, my household registration is fine, and our boss knows better than anyone else." ”
Without waiting for Wang Taoxin to answer, Lin Weidong paused, and then said: "Besides, my Lin Weidong has a bright future, I have nothing to do if I am well fed, I can't think of committing any crimes, can I commit it." ”
Wang Taoxin sneered and said: "Fart, you have a fart future, after graduation, you won't go back to the countryside to teach like me, and you will receive at most three or five hundred yuan a month, maybe it is better to be a network administrator with a high salary, at least there are free computers to play." ”
Lin Weidong put on a sanctimonious appearance and persuaded: "Tao Xin, you can't think so, teaching is a sacred profession, it is to burn the candle to take care of others, we not only have to teach, but also educate people......"
Regarding Lin Weidong's remarks, Wang Taoxin obviously disagreed, and sneered: "Holy fart, if it weren't for my parents and my parents' superstitious belief that teachers are iron rice bowls and can eat public meals, I wouldn't have come to study teacher training at all." ”
Lin Weidong asked curiously: "Then if you don't study normal, what do you want to study?"
Wang Taoxin said naturally: "I think it is very promising to study computer software and other majors, and when I earn money in the future, I will open an Internet café by myself, sit in the store every day to collect money and play games, and I can repair the computer by myself if it is broken, how practical it is!"
Lin Weidong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You really have no ambitions, dare to love your dream in this life, which is to open an Internet café to play on the computer?"
Wang Taoxin smiled and nodded: "Yes, isn't it good to be the owner of an Internet café? ”
After chatting with Lin Weidong, Wang Taoxin consciously cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then went upstairs to wash the dishes.
And Lin Weidong is not idle, in addition to fulfilling the responsibility of network management, he also has to spend time maintaining the navigation website Hao123, and devote himself to the creation of "e-network love".
It is worth mentioning that the division of labor between Lin Weidong and Wang Taoxin is very clear, the relationship is good, and no one can just eat and not work.
Of course, Lin Weidong did not treat Wang Taoxin badly, he ate and lived every day, and gave him half of his salary.
After being busy for a while, Lin Weidong stood up, stretched his waist, and moved his muscles.
Hearing the coughing sound coming from the OICQ, Lin Weidong reflexively sat back in front of the computer to see who was sending him a message.
Lin Weidong doesn't have many friends on OICQ, including Wang Taoxin, there are only more than 10 in total, and there are a few chat rooms, but the most often chatted is his girlfriend Wang Sijia.
Lin Weidong thought it was a message sent to him by Wang Sijia at home, but when he sat down and looked at it, he realized that it was the editor Baby Anne under the banyan tree.
Baby Annie: "Night Lonely Orange, are you interested in participating in a literary contest?"
Lin Weidong was a little curious, and replied: "What kind of literary competition?
In Lin Weidong's impression, the most famous literary contest is the New Concept Essay Contest, because from the New Concept Essay Contest came out of the post-80s writers such as Zhang Yueran, Han Han, and Guo Jingming.
Baby Anne: "It's not a new concept, it's the first online original literature competition, funded by our Banyan Tree Company. ”
Lin Weidong was not interested, so he asked her: "Editor-in-chief, I want to know...... Is the prize money for this tournament huge?"
Baby Anne: "With all due respect, you are too blind, you can't just stare at the money, let me tell you, if you can stand out in this competition, it will be very helpful for your future development in the literary world." ”
Lin Weidong was a little disappreciative of Baby Anne's statement, he didn't quite agree with Baby Anne's point of view, he felt that money is the fuel that drives the operation of all things, fame, fame and fortune, fame and fortune are beneficial, the so-called is conducive to the development of the literary world, in the final analysis, it's not for money?
After a while, Baby Anne sent another message: "If you are interested in participating, I will help you sign up." ”
Lin Weidong politely refused: "Editor-in-chief, thank you for your kindness, I think it's better to forget it, it's too far, I'm in Guangdong, you are in Shanghai, the plane ticket is a bit expensive, I'm still a student......"
Baby Anne: "That's such a rare opportunity, you really don't think about it, if you can't afford to fly, you can try to talk to your parents, they should support you." ”
"Another thing I forgot to tell you, the judges we invited this time are all heavyweight judges, and these judges have a weighty position in the entire Chinese literary circle. ”
Lin Weidong asked curiously, "Who are the judges?"
Baby Anne: "Do you know Wang Shuo?"
Lin Weidong: "Know, you must know! Are you saying that Wang Shuo will also go?"
"Yes, he will also come, in addition to Wang Shuo, there are also Wang Anyi, Jia Pingwa, Yu Hua, A Cheng, ......"
To be honest, Lin Weidong is a little tempted, but he feels that the distance is a little too far, and the prize money does not seem to be rich, it is not easy to go back and forth, and even if he goes, he may not be able to win the award.
And Baby Anne invited Lin Weidong to participate in the first online original literature contest, completely out of love for talent, and felt that this little brother who serialized "e-Net Love" under the banyan tree was a material that could be made, and he did not have any selfish intentions.
However, Lin Weidong didn't say anything, but just promised Baby Anne that he would seriously consider her suggestion.
