Chapter 119: I Know It All
Wang Lijian said these words calmly, Zhuang Yan and Yu Hai were a little surprised, Yu Hai said: "Old Wang, although Tang Shenggong is in Yanjing, but his old man has never shown up much, and we can't catch his line." Besides, even if you can talk, people may not be willing to translate, as far as I know, Tang Shenggong has not translated domestic works in recent years, except for translating some foreign works. ”
"Just trying. Wang Lijian said, "Even if it doesn't work, it's not a big deal." ”
In fact, the reason why Wang Lijian has this idea is entirely because when he was in Cai Yuanpei's office before, Gu Hongming was still more protective of Zhuang Yan.
Yu Hai still felt a little unreliable, so he shook his head without speaking. Zhuang Yan sat next to him and didn't know what to say, listening to Wang Lijian's calm tone, it seemed that he knew Gu Hongming, but listening to Yu Hai's words, it sounded like Gu Hongming was very arrogant, and ordinary people couldn't catch up.
Zhuang Yan has known Wang Lijian for a long time, but he doesn't know much about his status in the literary circle.
Kang Youwei is okay to say that this impression of Zhuang Yan is very sociable, and he often shows up, not as mysterious as Gu Hongming. When "Alive" was published before, Kang Youwei also stood up and gave Zhuang Yan an assist.
Zhuang Yan didn't have any opinions, so he said: "Since that's the case, it's okay to try, if it doesn't work, let's find someone else." ”
Yu Hai sat crookedly on the sofa, squinted at Wang Lijian and said, "Yes, anyway, this matter is what Lao Wang said, whoever proposes it will solve it, and the matter of finding Tang Shenggong will be handed over to you." But I can tell you, you have to speed up this matter too, don't delay me, and finally come to me no, I have to find someone else in a hurry. ”
Wang Lijian said with a smile: "Okay, I propose that I solve it, you can rest assured, whether this thing is done or not, I will reply to you in the next few days, and it will definitely not delay your matter." ”
As he spoke, he turned to Zhuang Yan and said, "Ziyan, if you don't have anything to do, I suggest you go to tomorrow's signing venue in the afternoon." I heard that the last time you signed the sale, you made an oolong, this time you should learn a lesson to avoid this kind of thing from happening again. ”
Zhuang Yan rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'll go over in the afternoon and connect with that side." ”
Seeing that the matter was almost over, Yu Hai stood up from the sofa with the book, shook the book in his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go down to work first, since the typesetting is set, the specific publication time can also be advanced, if nothing else, next week." ”
Wang Lijian nodded, "Okay, then you go down to work." ”
Zhuang Yan also stood up with a smile, "I'll go down with you, it just so happens that I also have some things, and I will go to the bookstore later." ”
Walking out of the building of the literary and art website, Zhuang Yan looked around for a while, then took out his mobile phone and opened a navigation, ready to continue his plan and walk around Yanjing.
……
After Zhuang Yan and the others left, Wang Lijian returned to his office chair and sat down, thought for a while, picked up the phone on the table and dialed out.
The phone was connected, and Wang Lijian smiled: "Hello, is it President Cai's office...... I'm Wang Lijian from the literary and art website, and I don't know if President Cai is free now...... Oh, three o'clock in the afternoon yes, I see, thank you. ”
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Lijian came to Cai Yuanpei's office again, but this time it was different from the previous two times, this time it was just him.
Cai Yuanpei is wearing a suit and leather shoes today, and he looks like he has just returned from some formal occasion. He used to have a goatee when he was young, but since he became the president of Yenching University, he has cut off the beard that is more than a finger long on his chin.
"Zijian is here today, what's the matter?" Cai Yuanpei asked.
Wang Lijian sat on the chair and bent over and said, "I took the liberty to disturb today, in fact, because the English version of "Alive" was going to be published, so I came to trouble Principal Cai. ”
Cai Yuanpei touched his non-existent goatee and said: """Alive" is going to be published in English, what's the use of you coming to me, in terms of translation, you should go to Mr. Gu Hongming, he is good at this." ”
Wang Lijian said bluntly: "I have only met Tang Shenggong once, and I don't know how to open this mouth." ”
Listening to Wang Lijian's words, Cai Yuanpei laughed, "It turns out that you are here to find me as your middleman, in fact, you don't need to do it at all, Mr. Gu is a person with a temperament, if he wants to do it, he will naturally help you, if he doesn't want to do it, no one can persuade him." I can help you with a message, but don't get your hopes up, my face may not be easy to do with Mr. Koo. ”
Wang Lijian hurriedly said, "I only need Principal Cai to say it, and I don't dare to ask for anything else." ”
Cai Yuanpei nodded, "In that case, it's a trivial matter." Saying that, he looked at Wang Lijian with interest, and then said: "But Zijian, you are not very authentic, you didn't tell us the truth about Zhuang Yan before, or finally I watched the news before that I realized that Zhuang Yan was a young man." ”
Wang Lijian said innocently: "You didn't ask, I didn't deliberately hide it." ”
Cai Yuanpei laughed angrily at him, "You didn't deliberately conceal it, so what does it mean to deliberately conceal? Okay, don't say it, I don't blame you, but I heard that Zhuang Yan is going to sign it in Yanjing tomorrow?"
Wang Lijian nodded and said truthfully: "Well, it is scheduled to be signed tomorrow at the Zhonghua Bookstore on West Chang'an Street." ”
"Then he should be in Yanjing now, right?" Cai Yuanpei said with a smile.
Wang Lijian sighed in his heart, how could he listen to Principal Cai's words, what did he think of Zhuang Yan? This is not good, he had made a bold statement to Zhuang Yan before, saying that even if he wanted to see Principal Cai, they would not be able to see him. Wang Lijian said hesitantly: "This point should have arrived, and I still have to ask if it has arrived." ”
Syllable!
Cai Yuanpei slapped the table violently and said, "You, Wang Zijian, are running the train with your mouth full of me, obviously Zhuang Yan arrived yesterday, why, the shabu shabu at the old north gate only ate last night, and you forgot all about it today?"
Wang Lijian was startled by Cai Yuanpei's sudden slap on the table, and then listened to his words, sweating even more on his forehead, and said in his heart, Does this Principal Cai have clairvoyance and ears, and even know what they ate last night?
As if knowing Wang Lijian's doubts, Cai Yuanpei said: "Don't give me sloppy eyes, Yuanshan has already told me the matter." ”
Wang Lijian bit his back molars after hearing this, this Ma Yuanshan really tells people everything!
