In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

As Christmas and New Year's Day approach, the University of Hong Kong's festive spirit is getting stronger.

As in previous years, this Christmas, the University of Hong Kong will still hold a Christmas party that is not particularly grand, but it has become a customary Christmas party.

Huo Yaowen participated in three sessions, and in his memory, he found that the annual Christmas party seemed to be more and more grand, especially this year's Christmas party, perhaps to sweep away last year's sluggish situation, the school had notified the deans and directors of various departments as early as a month and a half ago to arrange the deployment of the party.

The Faculty of Arts is no exception, although Fok Yaowen is only a lecturer for elective courses, he is still arranged by Director Huang for some simple preparatory work.

At this time, in the Hong Kong Auditorium, dozens of people are arranging the preparations for the Christmas party, some are arranging some Christmas totems, and some are hanging some banners or slogans on the stage of the auditorium.

Huo Yaowen sat there a little bored, silently watching the students happily arranging there, in his memory, the opening of the Christmas party every year seemed to herald the coming of the winter holiday.

A male student from the Faculty of Arts walked quickly to Huo Yaowen, who was sitting in the audience, and happily pointed to a huge Christmas banner hanging on the top of the stage and said, "Teacher Huo, how do you see the decoration here?"

Huo Yaowen glanced up, saw that the banner was symmetrical, and there seemed to be nothing that needed to be changed, so he nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's hanging very right." ”

"There's nothing to move, is there?"

"No, that's good. Huo Yaowen got up, pointed to the pattern on the wall behind the stage and said, "Do you also hang a little on the stage wall?"

"Prepared. The male student smiled and nodded, "We want to put white paper on the back wall, and then contact the classmates who know how to draw some Christmas patterns." ”

"Very good idea, have you reported to Director Huang?"

Don't look at Huo Yaowen is here to supervise the work, but the layout of everything here has already been set, Huo Yaowen came here just because the school arranged for him to watch these first-year freshmen decorate the auditorium, as long as nothing goes wrong, there is basically nothing wrong.

The male classmate nodded: "It's been reported, and the pattern has been designed, Director Huang said yes." ”

"That's fine. Huo Yaowen glanced at the busy students in the auditorium, glanced at the male classmates, and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"No need Teacher Huo, we can do it!" the male classmate smiled, then took his leave and continued to get busy.

Just when Huo Yaowen was a little bored and was about to go out to breathe, several female students who looked a little introverted walked over.

Looking at these girls in the mood for love, Huo Yaowen grinned: "What's the matter? ”

In the face of Huo Yaowen's sudden opening, several girls turned obviously red, glanced at each other, and all expected each other to answer the teacher's questions.

But after grinding for a while, no girl dared to open her mouth to speak first, and in the end, a short-haired girl stammered and asked, "Old... Teacher, did you write a book called "Sweet Honey"?"

"Have you seen it?"

"Is it really what you wrote, teacher?!" The short-haired girl was suddenly excited, and several female classmates next to her were also smiling.

"Hmm. Huo Yaowen nodded lightly.

Since Huo Yaowen's photo was printed on the last page of "Sweet Honey", he doesn't know how many times he has been recognized by students, and most of the people who recognize him as the author of "Sweet Honey" are female students, which makes Huo Yaowen feel the popularity of celebrity writers.

"Ah......" Listening to Huo Yaowen's affirmative words, the short-haired girl was overwhelmed with excitement, and hurriedly took out an ink pen and a booklet from her pocket, and said excitedly: "Teacher, we all like your "Sweet Honey" so much, I wonder if you can help us sign it?"

"Okay. Huo Yaowen agreed, took the ink pen and booklet, opened it, and found that it was a notepad, remembering a lot of words such as the party layout and the opening of the emcee, looking up in amazement, and asked, "Are you the emcee of the party?"

Li Wenjing said excitedly: "Yes, teacher, I am a freshman this year, serving as the freshman master of ceremonies, my name is Li Wenjing." ”

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen nodded slightly, added Li Wenjing's name on the last page of the notepad, wrote a congratulatory word, and at the same time helped the two female classmates behind him to write a short message.

"Thank you, teacher!!"

After Li Wenjing took the booklet and ink pen, she bowed slightly and thanked her, and then excitedly took the two people behind her to continue to decorate the auditorium and practice the emcee's manners.

After the others left, Huo Yaowen was just about to turn around and go out to breathe, when he heard Teacher Zhang's laughter behind him.

Zhang Chengyi approached with a smile and said, "Yaowen, you have really become a great writer now, and many female students in the school are your book lovers." ”

"Teacher, don't make fun of me. Huo Yaowen grinned and said, "Where am I a great writer." ”

"That's humble. ”

Zhang Chengyi said with a smile: "I often see you signing autographs for some female students, and I have also asked some people that I heard that your new book has sold 100,000 copies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is not something that ordinary writers can do." ”

Zhang Chengyi received Huo Yaowen's new book "Sweet Honey" before, but he himself didn't like to watch the Mandarin Duck Butterfly Pie, but his wife read it every day, and often cried when he looked at it, and Mr. Zhang was also a little confused, and later learned that Huo Yaowen's new book was selling well in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"It's okay, it's not a big writer. Huo Yaowen said a few words modestly, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything the teacher is looking for me?"

"Oh, I'm here to tell you good news!"

"Yes......"

When Huo Yaowen heard this, he was puzzled at first, and then immediately asked excitedly: "Did the school agree?"

"Hmm!"

Zhang Chengyi nodded heavily, grinning happily: "Director Huang and I communicated with the president and several deans, and we all think that the University of Hong Kong should have its own publishing house, so that whether it is printing exam papers or some tutorial materials, it is much more convenient and can be unified." But before the school press was not operating well, so several school leaders were not very confident, I pushed you out, in your name to tell them about the cooperation, they thought about it, and then agreed to your application, I think that in a few days, I will let Director Huang contact you and officially sign the cooperation contract. ”

After listening to this, Huo Yaowen secretly clenched his fists, and the cooperation with the school was reached, so the rest of the publishing house could continue.

"But ......"

But before Huo Yaowen could be happy, Zhang Chengyi said with some melancholy: "But the school thinks that you have a little too much of 50% of the shares, so I only decided to give up 45% of the shares." ”
