Early in the morning of the sixth day of the first month of the first month of Ding Si, there were not many people in the Denglong Hall of the Yuanyi Hotel, only Ma Yinchu, Wang Lijian and Zhuang Yan sat around a table to discuss things.

"Ziyan, how many tables have you ordered?" Wang Lijian asked as he looked around the Denglong Hall.

"Fifteen tables have been booked, which should be more than enough. Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

When the two of them put together the list before, they only counted seventy or eighty people, and they may not be able to come all, so it stands to reason that a maximum of seven or eight tables is enough. However, just in case, Zhuang Yan still set twice as much.

Denglong Hall was originally not big, and the hotel told Zhuang Yan that even if this hall was full, it could put twenty-five tables, but it was enough for Zhuang Yan.

Wang Lijian nodded, "It's right to have a back hand, I estimate that there may be more people coming today than you think." ”

Zhuang Yan was puzzled: "That's not it, even if all of them come, there will be seventy or eighty people." Even if the whole family brought it over, I think I would be able to sit down almost immediately. ”

Ma Yinchu shook his head beside him, "I'm afraid that some people will come uninvited." ”

"Uninvited?" Zhuang Yan frowned, "Is there such a thing?"

"Absolutely. Yu Hai took over the conversation and said with a smile: "It can't be said that you come uninvited, generally such people come over and are famous." I'll give you an example, for example, I have a friend who knows that I'm coming to your banquet today, and he wants to come, so he begs me to bring him, and I agree to him, and in the end I become two people alone, and maybe even three people or four people. The part of the accident that Lao Wang said should refer to these people. ”

Zhuang Yan touched his chin, "Even if there is such a situation, it shouldn't be too much." ”

"We certainly hope that there will be fewer of that, but it's uncertainties and we need to take that into account. Wang Lijian said.

Ma Yinchu saw Zhuang Yan frowning, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, since you have set fifteen tables, it will be enough to deal with unexpected situations." ”

"I hope so......"

At this time, Yao Qian walked over with a notebook and said to Zhuang Yan: "The seats of some important guests have been arranged according to your wishes, and there are corresponding signs on each table, so you can just take them over when the time comes." ”

Then he opened his notebook and said, "In addition, your teacher, Mr. Liu, I have arranged a special car to pick them up." ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, "Well, I see." ”

Liu He came over on the fourth day of junior high school, and Zhuang Yan went to pick them up at that time, and after picking them up, he arranged for them to stay in the hotel where he lived.

"Also, there's one more thing. Yao Qian paused and said.

"What's the matter?"

Yao Qian pointed to the door and said, "There are a lot of media friends outside, and they should all come here." ”

Regarding this matter, Zhuang Yan was mentally prepared, so he smiled and said: "Regardless of whether they are coming for us or not, as long as they don't affect us, then we should not see it." ”

"yes, I see. Yao Qian nodded and went out again.

Seeing Yao Qian go out, Wang Lijian said with a smile: "Now these people who are engaged in the media have their noses like spirits, and they have mastered everything in their hands. ”

Ma Yinchu said with a smile: "How can you eat this bowl of rice without two brushes, but I'm also very strange, how did these people know about your acceptance of students so quickly." Who is receiving, the time of the banquet, and the place of the banquet, they know it clearly. That night, after we went home from the invitation, I saw the news on Solang. Who do you think is going to break this out?"

In fact, Zhuang Yan was also strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and said with a smile: "It's not a shameful thing for me to accept students, even if someone reveals it, it's normal, it's not a big deal." Okay, looking at this time, it is estimated that there will be guests coming in a while, so let's stop sitting here and go out and stand for a while. ”

It was already nine o'clock in the morning, and the banquet had officially begun at eleven fifty-eight o'clock in the afternoon, with an interval of three hours in between, but there were always people who came earlier for this kind of banquet.

As soon as a few people arrived at the aisle, they saw Liang Qichao's family surrounded by reporters.

Liang Qichao pushed the person blocking him a little impatiently, and said "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later" as he walked.

However, Liang Qichao's wife Li Huixian was quite suitable for being surrounded by people, and greeted reporters with a smile while pulling Liang Sicheng.

Liang Qichao, who was struggling at this time, finally noticed Zhuang Yan and the others here, and hurriedly pulled his wife and children to run this way. Those reporters surrounded them, and they couldn't really block the road, so they could only watch Liang Qichao run to Zhuang Yan and them.

When some reporters saw Zhuang Yan, they wanted to run over and interview with Zhuang Yan, but when they thought of what the man with glasses said just now, they couldn't help but be afraid.

Just now, Yao Qian gathered these reporters outside and told them that they could interview, but they couldn't cross the boundaries of Denglong Hall, and if anyone wanted to violate it, they would lose any opportunity to interview.

"Brother Zhuoru, you're here. ”

On the other side, looking at Liang Qichao, who was a little embarrassed, Zhuang Yan smiled.

Liang Qichao nodded, and complained: "These reporters are really like appendages, and it is really difficult to get rid of them." ”

Liang Sicheng next to him greeted Zhuang Yan and them one by one at this time, "Teacher, Uncle Ma, Uncle Wang, Uncle Yu, hello." ”

Zhuang Yan smiled, "Okay, since you're here, let's wait outside with us, sister-in-law don't want to sit inside?"

Li Huixian smiled: "Well, then I'll go in first." ”

The welcoming procession grew again, with six old and young people standing at the door of the Denglong Hall, and a group of reporters standing across the corridor, and the atmosphere was a little special.

After a while, the reporter team opposite several people suddenly made an uproar, and Ma Yinchu suddenly smiled and said, "It is estimated that there are guests coming." ”

Coming over, in less than a minute, a few people saw a lady with half-white hair and a few young people walking towards this side.

"It's Chairman Tie. Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan also saw clearly who the person who came, it was none other than Tie Yan, the chairman of the Writers Association.

"But I haven't seen who these young men behind Tie Yan are. Ma Yinchu wondered.

The others shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they also didn't know what the situation was.

However, Zhuang Yan had a premonition in his heart, a premonition that what Wang Lijian told him before was about to happen.
