Looking at the handsome Huo Yaowen and the other party's elegant temperament, Wu Liande suddenly felt good in his heart, and couldn't help but admire: "Huo Sheng wrote a good book at a young age, and even cooperated with the University of Hong Kong to reopen the University of Hong Kong Press. ”

When Wu Liande was looking at Huo Yaowen, Huo Yaowen was also looking at the other party, I have to say that Wu Lao doesn't look at him this year, he is already sixty and eight this year, but his body is very tough, his voice is loud, and he speaks with a lot of confidence, not like an old man in his last years at all.

Wu Lao praised, the younger generation is just a fluke, if you want to talk about Wu Lao, you are amazing, not only single-handedly founded Liangyou Pictorial, but also made it a national pictorial, sold at home and abroad. Huo Yaowen said modestly, then picked up the teapot on the table and added tea to the cups of Wu Lao and the teacher.

Zhang Chengyi took a sip of the cup full of hot tea, warming his heart and stomach: "Yaowen, how is the preparation of the publishing house?

"It's almost done, the office space of the publishing house has been rented, the factory will be completed by the end of the month, and I have asked the workers to start printing the ghost blowing lamp I wrote before, and preparing to start advertising it in the next few days. Huo Yaowen said this, glanced at Wu Lao, and said with a sneer: "But no matter how complete the preparation is, the publishing house will always lack one person, and there is a lack of an editor-in-chief like Wu Lao who coordinates the overall situation." ”

Wu Liande touched the beard on his chin, and laughed: "Huo Sheng, it's impossible for my old bones to coordinate the overall situation, but if your newspaper still lacks a person to eat idle food, I am quite suitable, I have been telling your teacher recently, my food has increased greatly, and my daily expenses of pension money are a little insufficient, and I am thinking about finding a job to eat dry food in the future!"

Huo Yaowen didn't expect Wu Liande to be so funny, so he chuckled lightly, and followed the other party's words: "That Wu Lao is just right, the position of editor-in-chief of the publishing house is for idle meals, and he sits there every day with a pen and writes and paints. ”

Wu Liande didn't think that the other party would answer his words, and he also said happily: "Okay, I like this kind of work of eating leisurely, going to work easily every day, and going home from work to sleep when I am full." ”

Zhang Chengyi watched interestingly from the sidelines, and said to Huo Yaowen: "Yaowen, teacher, I am about to retire, although the school has a pension, but you also know that I often go to the big theater to listen to opera, each ticket costs more than a dozen yuan, and when I am happy, I will buy a flower basket and send it to the stage, I am afraid that my pension is not enough to spend, and your job that lacks leisure food depends on me?"

Without waiting for Huo Yaowen to answer, Wu Liande on the side blew his beard and glared: "Lao Zhang, you are not authentic, your school has a lot of pensions, you have little food, why do you want so much money, didn't your son open a Chinese school in Australia? The last time I called back to Hong Kong and said that I would pick you up and go to Australia, you can go to your son's pension for the elderly." ”

Huo Yaowen glanced at Zhang Chengyi in surprise, although he knew that Mr. Zhang's son Zhang Qingyi was very promising in Australia, but he hadn't seen each other in person for several years, and he hadn't heard much about the rest of the family, he just thought that the relationship between father and son was not harmonious, but he didn't expect to open a Chinese school in Australia.

Perhaps sensing Huo Yaowen's surprised gaze on the side, Zhang Chengyi smiled: "I went to Australia once in my early years, although I also like the environment there, but there are a bunch of ghosts around, and there are no acquaintances over there, so I can really only care for the elderly at home and take care of the children." The Chinese school was also set up by him in Melbourne last year, saying that the Chinese school is actually a school that teaches people to speak English, Australia has a lot of land and resources, and the land is very cheap, so in recent years, many immigrants no longer go to the United States but to Australia, but it is easy to suffer in the case of language barriers, so Qingyi called me and hoped that I would go to Australia to retire while serving as the principal of the school, and teach some Chinese immigrants to Australia to speak English. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't think that Mr. Zhang's son was quite smart, so he knew how to do business, and he actually thought of opening a training school in Melbourne, Australia, to teach English.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chengyi probably didn't want to discuss his son too much, so he changed the topic and said: "Yaowen, where is the office of your publishing house? I went over with Wu Lao to see and know, and the next time I go to have a casual meal, it will be easy to find the way, so as not to get lost halfway." ”

Huo Yaowen chuckled and nodded, "Okay".

......

A few days later, early in the morning, after the owner of the Kowloon Bookstore in Mong Kok opened the store, he took out a huge propaganda stand about one person high from the store and placed it directly at the gate.

I saw a color drawing hanging on the propaganda shelf, which painted a huge palace, which was steadily suspended in the dark air, the palace painting was very beautiful, and even the word "Heavenly Palace" written on the plaque above was also clear, and the three people below who could not see clearly were looking at the heavenly palace with flashlights, and there were three big characters written on the side, "Ghost blowing the lamp".

Those who have read the book Ghost Blowing the Lantern know that the book has been published after seeing this propaganda rack, and those who have not read it have become curious about this book when they see the attractive heavenly palace and the dark night in the pictorial.

Dozens of meters away from the Kowloon Bookstore, in an old car, Huo Yaowen sat in the driver's seat, watching the frequency of passers-by looking at the posters, and observed for more than ten minutes, basically everyone passing by would stop and take a look, although no one has entered the bookstore to buy books until now, but considering that it is more than seven o'clock in the morning, many people are rushing to work, there must not be that time, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

At this time, Ming Tsai hurriedly walked out of the Kowloon Bookstore, holding a ghost blowing lamp in his hand, opened the car door and sat in, and said to Huo Yaowen in the driver's seat: "Brother Yaowen, I asked the bookstore owner, and he said that I was the first person to buy this book today. ”

In the morning, Huo Yaowen took Lao Dou's car keys and was about to go downstairs to look for a bookstore, and happened to meet Ming Tsai who was going home, so he pulled him to reminisce about the old days, and found someone to accompany him by the way.

"Then you didn't ask him if you were the first person to go into the store today to buy a book. Huo Yaowen glanced at Ming Zai, from the opening of this bookstore to the present, they have been watching here, whether they have entered or not, Zhu Wenqing has no points in his heart?

"I didn't ask. Ming Tsai touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Why don't I ask again?"

"No need, you're the first to enter the store today!!" Looking at Ming Zai's stupid appearance, Huo Yaowen could only sigh, fortunately, he persuaded him to learn carpentry at the beginning, so as not to run out to be a horse boy, with his IQ and vision, it is strange not to be played to death.

Ming Tsai was surprised: "Brother Yaowen, how do you know?"

"I saw it with my eyes!" Huo Yaowen was really speechless to Ming Zai, I haven't seen him for a few months, why is this kid getting more and more stupid, not like this in the past.

"Hehe......" Ming Tsai came to his senses, and he also knew that he was too stupid to ask, so he smiled and said: "Haven't I been busy with work recently, making furniture and cabinets from wood every day." ”

Huo Yaowen didn't say much, just asked, "How is it to learn carpentry?"

As soon as he heard Brother Yaowen ask about himself, Ming Tsai was busy and said proudly: "Basically, the master also praised me for being smart and able to learn, I went home a few days ago and used some waste materials to make a dresser for my grandma, not to mention how happy she was." ”

Seeing that this Ming Tsai, who was a few years younger than himself, was finally sensible, Huo Yaowen was relieved: "That's good, carpenters have learned not to worry about food and clothing, and your grandma must be very happy to see that you can make cabinets." ”

"That's good, but Brother Yaowen, you said you want to help me get a good job!" Ming Tsai kept remembering that Huo Yaowen said that he would find him a fat job to do.

Huo Yaowen didn't expect Ming Zai to still remember this, and glared at him: "Didn't you learn carpentry?"

"Yes, but I don't want to do carpentry, it's boring to work with wood every day, and it's almost the New Year, and the master doesn't take any work anymore, so I go home to live. "Ming Tsai is only an eighteen-year-old boy, and he naturally has a big mind, always thinking about a good errand, and he naturally doesn't like the boring job of carpentry.

Huo Yaowen is a person who came over at this age, and he knows what Ming Tsai thinks in his heart, it is nothing more than that the work of carpentry is too tiring, and it is not a very decent errand, so he thought about it and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, if you have nothing to do recently, you will follow me, it just happens that there is no one around me now." ”

As soon as he heard that he was running errands behind Huo Yaowen, Ming Tsai happily bared his teeth and nodded with a smile: "Brother Yaowen!"
