Gu Biao couldn't figure out how to arrange for Mina for a while, but fortunately, there were at least a few months left to discuss this matter in the long run, so if you don't understand, think about it slowly.

He thinks that when he goes to France during the Christmas season, he can find an opportunity to call Mina to get together and talk about it in the long run—it should be impossible for her to stay in Afghanistan until Christmas, after all, Lucia also has Christmas, and Afghans don't. So at Christmas, even if Mina is busy with business, she may be in Moscow, and it will not be difficult to go around Paris at that time.

It's Xiao Sui's side, after coming this time, the two relived their old relationship, and also learned about each other's details and hole cards. Now that Xiao Sui has made a decision in his heart, some preparations can be done in advance.

For example, Gu Biao is now going to invite people from the cultural circles of Xiangjiang to have a small gathering and celebrate Xiao Sui's winning of the Contradictory Literature Award, so he can change the tone.

When the time comes, only talking about meeting friends with texts is Gu Biao's spending a lot of money for his confidante, and dilute Xiao Sui's original image of "Gu Biao's fiancée", which is also to pave the way for each other not to hurt each other's face and to divide and merge in the transition stage.

This kind of thing is really common in the cultural and media circles of Hong Kong. Many people were still in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship the day before, and they broke up when they said they broke up in the middle, and suddenly said that they were going to get engaged a few days later, which is commonplace.

Two days later, led by Mr. Cong Cha and Ni Kuang, writers from all walks of life in "Ming Pao" and "Dagong", as well as leading figures in the media circles, gathered in Baijiadao Gu Garden.

In the all-through banquet hall on the first floor, the long banquet table extends for dozens of meters, and there is a small cocktail table next to it, which is very decently arranged and has a spacious atmosphere.

The only side of the ballroom that does not have large glass floor-to-ceiling windows is the side that has its back to the Taiping Mountain. But the décor is still very elaborate and atmospheric. There is a tea and wine kitchen bar surrounded by a whole circle of bars, and the milky white curtain wall behind it seems to be an ordinary wall from a distance, but it is actually a walk-in wine cold storage - that is, the entire wall on this floor can be opened, and it is filled with refrigerated or frozen wine desserts.

Such an elegant high-end decoration is a bit avant-garde in the homes of the top wealthy in Xiangjiang, and other elderly rich people generally don't do this. But it also gives it a little more of the charm of young cultural pioneers holding cocktail parties.

Like the salons of the marquises of Paris in the 19th century, they are not necessarily the most luxurious, but they are the most flavorful in the eyes of the literati.

In addition, music performances have always been indispensable in literary salons, so pure female singers such as Zhou Huimin, who was newly supported by Tiankun Records this year, naturally also came to the salon to create an atmosphere.

It's just that unlike the vulgar arrangement of dancing and drinking with others at the rich cocktail party, the beautiful girls in the literary salon only need to perform.

When Gu Biao said the opening remarks, Zhou Huimin sat on the side and played the piano in a very non-existent and low-key manner, the music was also semi-classical light music, and he was wearing a banquet evening dress with suspenders, and the atmosphere suddenly became dignified and elegant.

"It is really my honor for the guests to appreciate the light. Today, it was originally my close friend Xiao Writer / won the Mainland's Contradictory Literature Award last month. Her award-winning work is also Acura of my charity and environmental protection in the northwest, we are reasonable, and we should appreciate and congratulate together, but it is troublesome for everyone to take the time to go to the cold house. ”

The host Gu Bi was polite and generous, and it was completely a gesture of communication with friends.

Of course, he himself is not a literati, and judging from the reason he stated for his celebration of Xiao Sui's cocktail party, it is more because "Xiao Sui praised his deeds and won awards for it".

Therefore, the senses of the writers are like Lorenzo Medici, the father of the Renaissance, who gave Michelangelo a reception with friends, and the reason for meeting friends with literature was "please appreciate the artistic level of this portrait that Michelangelo carved for me (Lorenzo)".

Of course, the "everyone" in charge of evaluation must not be Leonardo da Vinci or Raphael, after all, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael are also servants of the Medici family and serve their family, and they must be evaluated by outsiders. (This is just a humble title, in the Renaissance era, those artists wrote letters to the princes, dukes and marquis who provided for them, and they all wrote "Whoever serves you", after all, there were nobles at that time, and everyone was not equal)

The guests naturally knew how to give Gu Biao a long face.

Mr. Cha, the big boss of the "Ming Pao" department, pretended to read the manuscript temporarily, then put it down, picked up his wine glass and talked about it:

"Miss Xiao's works have also been read, and the writing does not matter. The old man is quite interested in Gu Sheng's environmental protection charity in the northwest. I don't know how the cause is progressing at present, and whether it has achieved any results? After all, the deeds in the book are old news from nearly a year ago. ”

Gu Futian smiled lightly: "Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, this is a matter of planting trees and enjoying the shade of the predecessors, how can it be so quick to achieve results." At the moment, my first $20 million budget has not been spent, and the afforestation is only a few million acres. The main species are Saxon and Salix.

In the past few months, Populus euphratica, which requires more water and is more difficult to survive, has been replanted on the land that has been initially renovated for a year. However, in this way, I can ensure that I do not do useless work, and completely control the land that has been fixed in the sand - if I count the area, I have also eliminated the desert equivalent to the entire area of the Xiangjiang River in more than a year. ”

The entire land area of Xiangjiang is less than 1,000 square kilometers, so Gu Biao said that it would take him 50 years to eliminate one desert in Xiangjiang in a year, and it would take 50 years to eliminate Mu Us on the border between Shaanxi and Mongolia. It's just that in fact, there is still a national team contributing, and the national team is the main force, so it can be eliminated in this life within 20 years.

China is too big, and this merit is nothing.

However, most of the people of Xiangjiang are used to living in cramped places. In the eyes of those who don't go far away, a year of greening is equivalent to a barren land in the area of the Xiangjiang River, which is already the energy of a super tycoon.

"It wasn't like planting a tree, putting on a show, and then turning around and dying. That's really doing real things. ”

At the beginning of the year, Professor Yao induced everyone to resist the development of Daguling, saying that Gu Biao was destroying the greenery. Now that I have a comparison, I know that Gu Biao really does not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, not only to protect the environment, but also to seek well-being for the poor in the city, so that housing prices can be lower, and the home owners have their own houses. ”

"I'll just say, the land in Xiangjiang is so precious, why do you have to support the greening by your own people? Anyway, the atmosphere, water, and climate will all circulate, and the air will not be worse if there are fewer native trees. ”

Other Xiangjiang writers represented by the writer surnamed Ni have whispered like this.

As they talked, the writer surnamed Ni took the lead and asked: "Gu Sheng said that everyone's blood is boiling, I don't know if there are any relevant photos of the recent situation, so that everyone can open their eyes and intuitively know Gu Sheng's feats." ”

Gu Biao turned his head and was about to tell the secretary to look for it, but Xiao Sui spoke, and got up and took out something from his bag:

"Mr. Ni and Mr. Cha can take a look at these photos, they were all taken by me in the northwest, and some of them are in the last two or three months. ”

After saying that, she beckoned, called the secretary Li Wantong who was waiting next to her, and ordered in her ear: "Bring the videotape of the suitcase in my room." ”

Li Wantong immediately answered the call to get it, and after a while, it was cast on the large projection screen in the salon living room.

"This is my own souvenir, I didn't look for a photographer, don't be surprised if the technique is not good. Xiao Sui explained with a smile.

In the past year, in addition to literary creation, because she has been in the northwest for a long time, she will naturally cultivate some expensive hobbies. Literary and artistic young women, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and photography are easy to get involved.

Photography is a thing that is easy for rich people to play well, after all, the cost is too high. In the 80s, those seats and directors of the National Photography Association, which one was not a child of the family.

Other people have this interest, talent, and don't have the money.

The literati present, as well as some of the leading figures in the Shaw Brothers screenwriting circle, were a little picky about the quality of the photography, and everyone else could just watch it.

As the photos were circulated and the videos were played, everyone felt the difficulty and boldness of engaging in environmental charity thousands of miles away in the northwest.

In several videos, Xiao Sui personally set up the camera, and personally appeared with the microphone, making a cameo appearance as the host of the commentary.

The content of the explanation is nothing more than where she was shooting, indicating on the map, and then showing what the place behind her has just been afforested for a year, what kind of trees are of the trees, and the main data.

It is also indispensable to capture some scenes of engineers and peasants working, and close-up of the palms of those rough working people, which is very deep into the masses at a glance, and has a bit of the grandeur of a documentary.

After all, Xiao Sui has been a screenwriter for several years, and when he was a graduate student in the Faculty of Arts, he also took the time to teach himself to write and direct, so this "self-made documentary" did a really good job.

With her connections and historical achievements in these places in Jingying, as long as she is willing to learn these things, she will definitely be able to easily find someone who is willing to teach them sincerely.

Anyway, Xiao Sui won't rob them of their jobs, and the mainland media circle eats together, who doesn't want to make friends with her. This is the value of the circle brought out by Gu Ao, as long as Xiao Sui enters this circle, he will be able to snowball by himself in the future.

The interest of the writers who talked about things in the salon circle also shifted from simple literary criticism to photography and documentary works. gave a high evaluation from the bottom of their hearts, and by the way, they touted Gu Wei's merits of Wei Wei, and said that they would play up these deeds in their own media when they went back, so they wrote it as news.

"Eh, this is not for the citizens of the city, don't promote this kind, we are also really for the environment, not for fame. Gu Biao was very calm and humble, and asked everyone not to be high-profile.

He originally held a celebration party for Xiao Sui to meet his friends with literature, but he didn't let everyone pat him on the back. Why is the rhythm deviated with it?

In order to stop this rhythm, Gu Biao saw that the time was almost meal, so he signaled everyone not to talk about literature and documentaries first, and then instructed the secretary to organize the maids to serve the food, and everyone chatted while eating.

Just when the maids were dispensing the dishes, the female secretary Li Wantong answered a phone call, then went out to look at it twice, and came back to report to Gu Biao: "Boss Li, Boss Zheng, Boss Yang, they also sent someone to accompany the gift, I originally informed them that they would get together next time, but they also invited their media people to be brokers, and brought the gifts, but they didn't come in person - I have let them in." ”

Gu Biao was a little awkward: "Why bother, it's not that I didn't invite them before I went to France, and I gave them one more salute, and it made people think that I Gu Biao was asking for their thank you!"

"How could Gu Sheng think so, who in Xiangjiang doesn't know Gu Sheng's personality. Xiangjiang has no gift that is so heavy that Gu Sheng cares. Mr. Zha was the first to speak and relieved Gu Biao of this siege.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
