Chapter 22: The First Intimate Encounter (3)
Zhang Weida felt that although he was unknown in the literary world, as the leader of the Hedong Writers Association, he was promoting Tang He by writing a preface to Tang He. But after reading "The Legend of Wukong", I realized that if he really wrote the preface, then he himself may be the one who really benefited.
With the level of "The Legend of Wukong", and then think about the age of the author Tang He, I think there will be a large number of literary giants who are willing to write the preface.
Zhang Weida's face was uncertain, and he put the printed manuscript of "The Legend of Wukong" in his hand on the coffee table, and turned his head to look at Tang He.
The young man in front of him is really too young.
Under some messy hair, those eyes are as clear as water, coupled with some delicate faces, at first glance, they are as simple and bright as Jian Ning in the recently hit TV series "Seventeen Don't Cry".
"Mr. Zhang, this is the agreement faxed to me by the magazine "Ancient Legends......"
Zhang Weida subconsciously took it, but he didn't read it seriously, with the level of "The Legend of Wukong", publication is the meaning of the title.
"Teacher Zhang, you ...... Can you write a preface for me?"
Looking at Tang He, who was a little twisted in front of him, Zhang Weida nodded subconsciously.
"Great! Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhang......"
"It's okay, it's okay. "The Legend of Wukong" is very well written, even if you don't look for me, if you want to come to the "Ancient Legends" magazine, I will come forward to help you contact some ...... of predecessors in the literary world."
Zhang Weida cleaned up his mood and said reluctantly.
"It's different, you are the leader of our Hedong Writers Association, and you don't know me, I came here, you can be so enthusiastic......" Tang He shook his head and exaggerated Vida.
"By the way, you said that you are a student, a student of Erlongshan University?"
Zhang Weida suddenly thought that he would write a preface to Tang He, and when "The Legend of Wukong" was published in the future, he would inevitably be thought to be discerning, and he was digging out Tang He's Bole, and it was necessary to understand and care about Tang He's situation.
The big fish has finally taken the bait!
Tang He was excited in his heart, but with a hint of respect and careful teaching on his face, he leaned forward slightly and said, "No." I am a high school graduate of Heyin No. 3 High School, and I am 17 years old this year,...... By the way, I applied for Erlongshan University. ”
"Oh, you applied for Erlongshan University, yes, I hope to see you at Erlongshan University next semester, talented students like you, we are very welcome at Erlongshan University!"
"Well, because my home is in Hedong, I want to be closer to home when I fill in the volunteers. ”
Tang He said, and then with a hint of embarrassment and urgency, he asked Zhang Weida: "Mr. Zhang, the agreement signed between "Ancient Legends" and me stipulates that I want to create more than three literary works for "Ancient Legends" magazine that meet the publication standards. If...... If I am admitted to Erlongshan University, can I come to you often to ask for advice in the future?"
Zhang Weida was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but carefully look at the agreement in his hand.
"Ancient Legends" magazine actually attaches so much importance to Tang He's talent?!
Think about it, 17-year-old Tang He wrote "The Legend of Wukong", and when he is a little older and his creative level is a little more mature, the future of this young man is completely worth looking forward to.
"Haha, no problem. As long as you don't dislike me, my level is limited. ”
Zhang Weida put down the fax of the agreement in his hand and happily agreed.
Chatting through "The Legend of Wukong", the conversation between the two became more and more harmonious. Tang He has always put on a pious appearance of being a latecomer, while Zhang Weida is the kindness of a predecessor in the literary world, and the two complement each other well.
Chatting and chatting, Zhang Weida saw that the water cup on the coffee table in front of Tang He was empty, he stood up and refilled a glass of water for Tang He, and then suddenly groaned and asked Tang He: "By the way, Xiao Tang, how did you do in the college entrance examination? Do you feel sure that you will be admitted to Erlongshan University?"
Tang He was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhang Weida to be so direct.
What does Zhang Weida mean by this?!
Could it be that he has been so active because he has been in love for many years?
No, I can't.
In Tang He's plan, the goal of today's first meeting with Zhang Weida is only to connect the two sides. Then he will work with Wu Wei to desperately contact Zhang Weida in the next few days, and then when the heat is about the same, he will open his mouth to make a request to Zhang Weida. No matter how Zhang Weida answered, as long as Zhang Weida refused unclearly, he and Wu Wei had been here during the time when the college entrance examination scores had not been announced.
If he said that he was not sure, would it make Zhang Weida vigilant and even see his scheme?
If he said that he was sure, what would Zhang Weida think when he made a frank announcement to Zhang Weida in a few days? Will he refuse?
Tang He quickly thought about how he should answer Zhang Weida's question and the impact that such an answer might have.
It's just that time waits for no one, and Tang He can't be allowed to think too carefully, so he has to take the risk of telling the truth.
"I can't say for sure. Because I like to write, I spend all my time reading books, and my academic performance can only be regarded as midstream. ”
"That's ......"
Putting the thermos back on the coffee table, Zhang Weida was noncommittal.
Tang He was in a hurry, but he couldn't explain too much, so he had to forcibly change the topic to another side.
"Mr. Zhang, are you also speculating in stocks? I see that these books on your coffee table seem to be stock trading magazines. ”
Obviously, these words hit Zhang Weida's sore spot, and he still had a smile on his face, even if he knew from Tang He's mouth that Tang He might not be able to be admitted to Erlongshan University. But hearing Tang He's words, Zhang Weida's face quickly turned from sunny to cloudy.
"Why don't you have research on stocks?"
"No, no. Tang He waved his hand again and again, eager to slap himself a few times.
Looking at Zhang Weida's appearance, it was obviously his own words, which made him feel bad.
There's no way, and if you say it, you have to hold on.
"This time I came to Bingzhou with a classmate. My classmate was trading stocks at his house, and I heard my classmate talk about it on the train, saying that the recent stock market doesn't seem to be very good. By the way, my classmate's uncle works at the stock exchange at the south gate of Bingzhou. This time, he came to ask his uncle to find out if there was any inside story......"
"Oh, did your classmate inquire about anything?" Hearing Tang He's words, Zhang Weida actually became a little anxious.
Zhang Weida didn't suspect that Tang He was opening his mouth.
Since last year, the Chinese stock market has been like a rainbow. The Shanghai stock market has soared from more than 500 points at the beginning of the year to 1,258 points, and the Baoan stock market has rushed from more than 900 points at the beginning of the year to 4,200 points, and more than 100 stocks have risen more than 5 times that year.
Inspired by the wealth effect of the stock market, the number of accounts opened by Chinese investors began to increase sharply, and soon exceeded 21 million. It is said that in order to speculate in stocks, some farmers in the north actually sold their cattle.
Since the middle of last year, Zhang Weida has been instigated by friends to speculate in stocks. In the end, he couldn't hold back the greed in his heart, opened an account to enter the Bao'an stock market in November last year, and bought the high-performance stock "Qiong Minyuan" that was highly recommended by friends.
And Qiong Minyuan's situation is as his friend said, becoming the biggest dark horse in the Bao'an stock market, bringing Zhang Weida a lot of profits.
At the beginning of this year, after Qiong Minyuan published his annual report in the Securities Times, the stock price soared to 26.18 yuan per share.
But who knew that after waiting for March, Qiong Minyuan was reported to the Securities Regulatory Commission, saying that he had published false information, and then suspended trading. made many retail investors, including Zhang Weida, deeply trapped in it, wanting to cry without tears.
Qiong Minyuan used Zhang Weida's salary savings over the years. After being trapped, Zhang Weida was unwilling to lose such a large sum of money, so he took out his daughter-in-law's salary to speculate in stocks. As a result, the bear market caught up again, the stock market plummeted, and finally the general ledger was calculated, and Nima lost again.
So it's okay not to mention stock speculation usually, but when it comes to stock speculation, Zhang Weida has a heartache and liver pain.
"Well, I haven't been to see my classmates yet. ”
Zhang Weida nodded when he heard this, and said kindly, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you just now, how many days do you plan to stay in Bingzhou?"
"A week or so. This time, I made a special trip to Bingzhou to ask you for advice, and my classmate also applied for Erlongshan University, and in addition to helping his family inquire about the news of the stock market, he also wanted to come to Erlongshan University to see the environment. Tang He said.
"Ha, what a coincidence? In this way, I'll work overtime for the past two days, read "The Legend of Wukong" carefully, and strive to write the preface within a week, remember to come and get it before you leave. ”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhang. Tang He had a look of surprise on his face.
"By the way, remember to call your classmate when the time comes, he doesn't want to see the environment of Erlongshan University. It's best to let his uncle come with him, how can you tell the quality of a school from a child's family......"
