Gu Hongming looked Lian Liwen up and down, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, let's not talk about the Ministry of Civil Affairs today, let's just talk about the name change of Chadong." Do you think it's right or wrong, good or bad?"

He asked Zhuang Yan and them, but Zhuang Yan said that they look at me, I look at you, but no one spoke first.

Gu Hongming knew why they didn't speak, and said, "You all express your opinions, and you can say whatever you want." ”

Zhuang Yan: They are again, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks. Ma Yinchu has been poking Liang Qichao's thigh under the table, which means that you are usually the most upright, why did you coward at this time?

Liang Qichao looked at the tableware in front of him without changing his face, no matter how Ma Yinchu poked him, he didn't move, although he was upright and good, but he didn't get to the point of being stupid, now everyone knows that it's better to talk less.

Gu Hongming looked around one by one in front of them, and finally said hatefully: "Look at a few of you, you look timid, but I don't like it." ”

Ren Lian looked at the low-eyed appearance of a table of well-known figures in the outside world, felt a burst of amusement, thought for a while, and took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Gu, I don't think this is a bad thing, at least not for Cha Dong." I heard that the economic conditions of Chadong were not very good before, and the city was also very desolate, but since there was "Border City", their town has come to life. I went there last time, not to mention how lively it is now. I think, at least in the eyes of the Chadong people, the name change means a lot to them. ”

Gu Hongming didn't comment on any Lian's opinion first, but glanced at Zhuang Yan and them again, "Look, Lian girl is better than you all over the girl." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Ren Lian and said: "Your idea is right, but there is a problem with the angle of viewing, you only think about how Cha Dong is, but you don't think about the whole of China." Now that Chadong has changed a precedent, there will definitely be other places to follow suit in the future, and the name of the country has been changed in a mess, what kind of system has this become. Besides, place names are not the same as people's names, and this is not a matter of one person, nor is it a matter of a town. What if because of the change of place name, some prodigal sons who have gone out of their homes cannot find a home?"

"Uncle Gu is right, I am a little woman who thinks too simply, and her vision is too short-sighted. Ren Lian smiled.

"I think Tang Sheng, you don't have this problem, now the Internet is developed, the message transmission is very fast, today Cha Dong has changed its name, tomorrow people who are thousands of miles away will be able to know. And changing the name does not eliminate the past, people only need to look up on the Internet to know what a place is now called, what it used to be called. Lian Liwen said.

Before Gu Hongming could speak, Lian Liwen said again: "Let's talk about the emulation issue you mentioned earlier, the Ministry of Civil Affairs can definitely approve the name change as soon as the mind is hot, it must be approved after many trade-offs, thinking that Chadong has the conditions to change its name." In this case, if other cities follow suit, if the conditions are insufficient, they can be completely ignored. And the name of the place is not dead, and it is normal to change it. Take our Yanjing as an example, it used to be called Yanjing, and there was no such place in the past. In the whole Yanjing, some places have been called Jicheng, Zhuojun, and Youzhou. Why is it called Yanjing now?

"You have a point, but you don't convince me. Gu Hongming frowned and said, "You said that the Ministry of Civil Affairs didn't approve it as soon as the mind was hot, but I didn't see how they weighed it, how long has the book "Border City" come out, just over a month, there is a place because it has been renamed, and you still tell me that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has weighed it in many ways?"

Lian Liwen said, "More than a month is completely enough, I know more or less what work they have done, on-site visits, public visits, these specific things they are doing, and after integrating various factors, I can naturally come up with the answer." Tong Sheng, to understand more about government workers, you can look at them with a critical eye, but you must also ensure that you are objective enough. ”

"Okay, I'm not here to talk to you about government work today. Let's put aside the matter of changing the name of Cha Dong for now, Chairman Tie, let's start the banquet first. Gu Hongming said.

When they were talking just now, the dishes on the table had already been served, but because they were talking, no one had moved the chopsticks.

Zhuang Yan, Ma Yinchu and Wang Lijian glanced at each other, and they all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, listening to the conversation between Lian Liwen and Gu Hongming just now, I thought they would quarrel, but fortunately, Gu Hongming restrained it in time in the end.

The question that Gu Hongming asked just now, it was not that they couldn't answer it, but Gu Hongming had a strange temper, and they were afraid that they would inevitably be reprimanded after saying something wrong.

Zhuang Yan glanced in the direction of Ren Lian again, and Ren Lian happened to be looking at this side, so Zhuang Yan smiled at her. Just now, Ren Lian came out to save the scene, and although she was also reprimanded by Gu Hongming, she didn't care, this is the privilege of a girl.

After the meal, the activities of the writers' association did not start in a hurry, and they sat down at the dinner table and chatted again.

"Zhuang Ziyan, do you have an idea for your next new book?" Gu Hongming suddenly asked.

Lian Liwen laughed beside him, "You have nothing to say, his "Border City" has just come out, how can it be that the next book is conceived." ”

Gu Hongming waved his hand, "If it were someone else, I would naturally not ask this, but this Zhuang boy is different, from the beginning of his first book to the present, a total of four books have been released, but it has only taken less than half a year." At this rate, his new book should have taken shape, at least some ideas. ”

Lian Liwen patted his forehead, "It's also reasonable, this kid really can't be handled with common sense." Then I ask you, do you have any ideas for your new book?"

The eyes of the people at the table were focused on Zhuang Yan again, especially Ren Lian, her two big eyes were full of expectation, and she was expecting Zhuang Yan to give a positive answer.

Zhuang Yan saw the way they looked at him, smiled, and finally nodded: "Yes, it is almost finished." ”

Bite.

Suddenly, their space froze, and they could even hear the sound of a needle hitting the ground.

They originally expected Zhuang Yan to say his new book plan, or even just an idea was enough, but now Zhuang Yan revealed that his new book was almost finished.

I just wanted a sesame seed, but I threw a big watermelon all of a sudden.

Surprised, surprised?

Zhuang Yan said to himself, "Actually, I wrote the first draft before, and now I just want to improve it." ”
