Originally, Su Chenyu planned to take a good rest during the Spring Festival, but he didn't expect that he would be busier than usual during the Spring Festival. In addition to the necessary visits to relatives and friends, there are many things to do in the new year.

Of course, in addition, Su Chenyu also has to do ideological work for Tian Xiaolu, and only by coaxing this little aunt can next year's trip be successful.

Su Chenyu almost racked his brains and wore out his mouth to do ideological work for Tian Xiaolu, but fortunately, this effort was not in vain, and in the end Tian Xiaolu reluctantly agreed. After that, Su Chenyu couldn't help but sigh that it didn't take so much effort to persuade the puppet army to surrender back then.

Finally finished the warm and peaceful Chinese New Year's Eve, and spent the first day of the new year in the family reunion, Su Chenyu relaxed a little in the past two days.

However, on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tian Mingli called Su Chenyu's family over with a phone call.

Now Su Zhenbang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and Tian Mingli's position is getting higher and higher, and Su Chenyu has also begun to "wander" around the world, so there are fewer and fewer opportunities for them to get together to plan things.

Obviously, the Spring Festival is a perfect time to gather, so this time Tian Mingli will call Su Chenyu and Su Zhenbang over on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Two men and a big boy sat in the study, spitting clouds and discussing important matters. Su Chenyu was also an old smoker in his previous life, but after he was reborn, he decided never to touch cigarettes again, so he was innocently smoking second-hand smoke.

"Godfather, you have to pay attention this year, in addition to doing a good job in economic work, the most important thing is to do a good job in ideological work. Su Chenyu said with a stern face.

As an official who is sensitive to politics and the current situation, Tian Mingli obviously felt something unusual, so he particularly recognized and attached importance to Su Chenyu's reminder.

Tian Mingli played a cigarette, and then said: "Yes, I also exchanged opinions with Secretary Wang some time ago, and he also had a feeling that he couldn't speak. ”

"No matter what? As the main leader in charge of ideological work, you have to pay 12 percent attention to this. Su Chenyu emphasized.

Su Zhenbang has seen a lot of things in the past two years, and his political sensitivity has also become very high, so he continued: "Be careful, and focus on stability." ”

"Dad, the development of all our businesses has slowed down temporarily this year. Su Chenyu turned to Su Zhenbang and said, "By the way, after the fifteenth, you can go to the Soviet Union with me." ”

"Go to the Soviet Union?" Tian Mingli asked with some surprise: "What are you doing there?"

Su Chenyu didn't answer directly, but asked Tian Mingli: "Godfather, what do you think of the Soviet Union's Goshi reform?"

On the whole, his thinking should be correct, that a country that is so big should indeed be reformed. However, it is said that there are many problems, but this is also the only way to reform. Tian Ming thought about it and said.

Obviously, Tian Mingli's thoughts should be the thoughts of most people in China now, but they don't know that such a huge country has embarked on a point of no return.

Su Chenyu shook his head, and then motioned to Su Zhenbang to speak.

Su Zhenbang was not hypocritical, and said directly: "Big brother's reform has already had a big problem. If nothing else, the officials of the Soviet Union have almost all become moths of the state, and a large number of privileged classes have formed huge interest groups. On the contrary, the life of ordinary people in the country is becoming more and more difficult, and there is a severe shortage of living materials in society, and the whole Soviet Union is panicked. ”

Tian Mingli was really shocked at this moment, but he reacted quickly, so he hurriedly asked, "How do you know that you are so strict?"

"Since the beginning of last year, Xiaoyu has asked some of my comrades-in-arms to start a 'trading business' on the Soviet side, exchanging grain and other daily necessities for some of the other side's industrial products, including some arms. Su Zhenbang did not hide it, and said directly.

Tian Mingli didn't expect the father and son in front of him to be so bold, and now they are actually reselling arms, so he said with a somewhat angry face: "You are so bold, you dare to resell arms?"

"Godfather, don't be angry, don't talk about the situation in China, you know. Do you know how many people are active on the border of the Soviet Union? Every day, countless people cross the border between the two countries, from a cotton coat or a bag of rice to a wagon of daily necessities, to the Soviet Union, so as to obtain industrial products there. Su Chenyu said lightly, you must know that just this year, there will be a sensational event such as "reversing the plane" that will cause a sensation across the country.

Of course, Tian Mingli understood what was going on, but he still didn't agree with this kind of behavior, so he said to Su Zhenbang: "Zhenbang, aren't you afraid of getting yourself involved, you must know that now you are a famous entrepreneur in the country." If this matter is exposed, the blow to you will be absolutely immeasurable. ”

"Don't worry. I was in charge of this from beginning to end, and my dad didn't get involved in it at all, he just knew the inside story. And all along, I have pursued as low-key as possible, not to mention that there are so many people who are facing us in the open, and nothing will happen at all. Su Chenyu said confidently.

"Do what you want. Tian Mingli glanced at Su Chenyu, he knew that he couldn't persuade this child at all, although the big boy in front of him was only a teenager, but once he decided on something, no one could persuade him.

"I know. Su Chenyu readily agreed: "However, godfather, I feel that you can focus on the reform of the Soviet Union." ”

Obviously, Tian Mingli knew the meaning of Su Chenyu's words, and if this matter was handled well, he would definitely give a big bonus in front of the high-level management.

From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the 15th Lantern Festival, except for some necessary visits to friends, Su Chenyu basically wrote quietly at home. There was no way, on the first day of the new year, Zhong Cheng called to pay New Year's greetings and told him that he hoped that after the Lantern Festival, Su Chenyu could go to Shanghai with him and visit Ba Lao.

After hearing the news, Su Chenyu was really happy for a while, you must know that Ba Lao is his favorite writer, and Yi Ba Lao's status, prestige and personality are undoubtedly revered.

Su Chenyu had already discussed with Su Zhenbang, he first went to Shanghai to visit Ba Lao, and Su Zhenbang went directly to the capital after arranging the things here. In a few days, Su Chenyu went to the capital to meet Su Zhenbang, and then went straight to the polar bear's den.

Su Chenyu has been excited since he got on the train, you must know that Ba Lao is Su Chenyu's most respected writer, and he can be called his "spiritual mentor". So Su Chenyu was naturally honored to meet Ba Lao this time, so on the train, he kept thinking about what to say and do after meeting Ba Lao.

Zhong Cheng came a day earlier than Su Chenyu, so Su Chenyu bumped into him when he arrived at the guest house agreed on the phone by the two, and the two naturally had a good conversation.

Zhong Cheng told Su Chenyu that "Bright Sword" and "The Sky of History" not only delivered an astonishing sales, but also won praise from many people in the literary world, which can be described as a double harvest.

In addition, Zhong Cheng also happily told Su Chenyu a good news, and Su Chenyu's version of "Huanzhu Gege" also achieved very good results, especially among women and young students.

However, these don't seem to be what Su Chenyu is most willing to know, and the things he wants to know most are obvious.

Seeing Su Chenyu like this, Zhong Cheng no longer "reported" those things, and said directly: "Xiaoyu, the main reason for seeing Ba Lao this time is because the last time I went to visit the old man with the president, the old man specifically mentioned that he wanted to meet the mysterious Chen Shiyu. Therefore, our president would like me to ask for your opinion and then take you to visit Pa Lao. ”

"I didn't expect that Ba Lao would want to see me? Su Chenyu asked in surprise.

Zhong Cheng said with a smile: "You may not know that you are now a well-known person in the literary world." You must know that you set off a big debate in the literary world last year, and so many literary masters participated, Ba Lao naturally noticed you. ”

"Then what should I say then?" Su Chenyu suddenly asked like a child.

Zhong Cheng looked at Su Chenyu and smiled, and then said: "The old man is very easy-going, just talk casually, and say whatever he wants." For young writers, Ba Lao has always been very supportive and encouraging. ”

Zhong Cheng took Su Chenyu to Ba Lao's apartment and met this literary giant who was respected by everyone. Ba Lao is over 80 years old, but he is still in good spirits and in good health.

"Xiao Zhong, is it a little late for you to come to pay New Year's greetings now?" said jokingly after seeing Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng hurriedly said: "Ba Lao, it's time to pay New Year's greetings to your old man." ”

"Happy New Year, Ba Lao. Su Chenyu also hurriedly followed.

Ba Lao looked at Su Chenyu, and then said thoughtfully: "This is the mysterious Chenshiyu, right?"

"Ba Lao, I am Chen Shiyu, I didn't expect your old man to know me. Su Chenyu hurriedly said.

The old man looked at Su Chenyu carefully, obviously a little surprised by such a young Chen Shiyu. However, after all, Ba Lao is an old man who has gone through nearly a hundred years of spring and autumn, and he has never seen anything, so he is only slightly surprised.

"It's really a hero out of a teenager, and the future is terrifying. Ba Lao motioned for Su Chenyu and Zhong Cheng to sit down, and then sighed.

"Comrade Chen Shiyu, your work is very good. Only the articles that are closest to the lives of our people are good articles, not bad. Ba Lao said solemnly: "It's not like some people who make things that ordinary people can't understand at all. ”

After listening to Ba Lao's words, Su Chenyu hurriedly said: "Ba Lao, you can call me Xiao Su, my real name is Su Chenyu." ”

The old man looked at Su Chenyu, who was a little nervous, and then smiled and said, "Xiao Su, don't be so nervous, just when we are two people who love literature and are discussing problems." ”

Su Chenyu was indeed a little nervous when he first saw the "spiritual idol", but he slowly calmed down, and now that Ba Lao still said so, he was completely relaxed.

Slowly, the conversation between Su Chenyu and Ba Lao became deeper and deeper, from ordinary small talk, to Ba Lao's works, and then to the current literary world. Su Chenyu relied on his experience, knowledge, and information in his previous life to be able to talk to Ba Lao, a wise old man, which had to make Su Chenyu even more admired.

At the end of the conversation, Ba Lao asked, "Xiao Su, you are not a member of the association yet, are you?"

Zhong Cheng beside him kept glancing at Su Chenyu, but Su Chenyu completely ignored it and said to himself: "No, I just like literature and writing, and it doesn't matter if I join the Writers' Association or not." ”

After listening to Su Chenyu's words, Ba Lao naturally understood the meaning, and he no longer dwelled on this topic, but Zhong Cheng next to him was disappointed. Ba Lao continued to ask Su Chenyu, "Are there any new works recently?"

"Recently completed a new novel. I came to see Ba Lao today, and I specially brought it, please criticize and correct it. Su Chenyu said and took out a notebook from the schoolbag beside him, and then respectfully handed it to Ba Lao.

Ba Lao took the novel, and then quickly flipped through it, it was a long novel of more than 100,000 words—not too long. Ba Lao quickly finished reading it, then put the novel aside, and said to Su Chenyu: "Very good, I'll write the preface when your book "Alive" is published." ”

Su Chenyu and Zhong Cheng were a little shocked, and Ba Lao wrote the preface, which was undoubtedly a great affirmation of Su Chenyu. Zhong Cheng couldn't wait to know what this "Alive" was about, and kept complaining with his eyes that Su Chenyu had good works and was still hiding them.

"Thank you for your kindness. Su Chenyu hurriedly thanked.

Su Chenyu naturally knew the classic of "Alive", but he didn't expect Ba Lao to give such a high evaluation.

Su Chenyu and Zhong Cheng stayed in Ba Lao's apartment all morning, and when it was close to noon, Ba Lao asked the two to stay for dinner, Su Chenyu was naturally cheeky and respectful, rather than obeying his fate.

In the afternoon, Su Chenyu and Zhong Cheng left Ba Lao's apartment, and before leaving, Ba Lao also told Su Chenyu that he had time to come often.

Until he left Ba Lao's apartment far away, Su Chenyu still felt like in a dream, he couldn't believe that he actually saw Ba Lao, a great man in the literary world, and had lunch with the old man, and Ba Lao also promised to write a preface for his new book.

Zhong Cheng naturally understands Su Chenyu's feelings, and believes that everyone who is engaged in literature will have Su Chenyu's reaction when they see the literary giant Ba Lao for the first time......
