Chen Qingdong and Chen Zhongning chatted very devotedly and happily, and the time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was already half past eleven. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

At this time, Chu Mingyuan's mobile phone rang, and he walked to the balcony to answer the phone.

Chen Qingdong looked at his watch and said, "Professor Chen, it's not early, I've disturbed you all morning, we should go back." ”

Chen Zhongning said: "You are here to visit me, how can you disturb me! Qingdong, you have come to me, if you don't dislike it, just stay here for a meal, and let me do my landlord's friendship, okay?"

Chen Qingdong actually wanted to stay here to eat, not because he still had anything to talk to Chen Zhongning, but mainly because he saw that Chu Mingyuan had no intention of leaving, and he should also stay here to eat, so he could have more contact with Chu Mingyuan.

After this morning's exchange, having another meal together will inevitably have the effect of icing on the cake, and an intimate relationship with Chu Mingyuan has been initially established, and it will be much easier to maintain and consolidate this relationship in the future.

However, of course, Chen Qingdong couldn't show this, otherwise he would seem to be too utilitarian, so he still said: "Professor Chen, your body has just recovered, you still need to recuperate, and you can't be tired, let's go back first, and when we find a time, we will definitely come over to visit your old man!"

While talking, Chen Qingdong also stood up.

Seeing Chen Qingdong stand up, Chen Lu and Wang Fang of course also stood up.

Chen Zhongning said anxiously: "Qingdong, you sit down! You have to stay here for a meal at noon today! Don't worry, this won't bother me anything, and it won't tire me." To be honest, I'm not very good at cooking, so I asked the owner of a restaurant downstairs to prepare the food and send it to us, I know him well, just give him a call!"

Then, Chen Zhongning looked at Chu Mingyuan, who was still talking on the balcony, and said: "Mingyuan also stays here with me for dinner today, Qingdong, Chen Lu, you may not be easy to contact a leader of Mingyuan's level, and today I take this opportunity to have more contact with Mingyuan, which will definitely be of great help to your future work!"

After Chen Zhongning broke the idea in his heart, Chen Qingdong felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to talk about it anymore, if it was self-defeating, it would be really crying and laughing!

Chen Zhongning continued: "Qingdong, you will stay for a light meal at noon today, we still have a lot of details that have not been discussed! These days, my old man lives here alone, and it is really deserted! Finally, you all came over today, and we happened to be lively and lively together, which can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes, okay?"

Hearing Chen Zhongning's words, Chen Qingdong took the opportunity to go downhill and said: "Professor Chen, since this is the case, then we might as well be respectful and obey our fate!"

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Chen Zhongning smiled happily and said in a loud voice: "Okay! Okay! Great! I'll call the restaurant right now and ask him to deliver the food!"

Chen Qingdong said: "Professor Chen, otherwise don't call, I'll let Wang go down and buy the vegetables." ”

"No, no!" Chen Zhongning said, "I am very familiar with the owner of the hotel, usually when there is a guest at home, I call him and ask him to send it up, which is very convenient, so you don't need to let Wang Fang go down, you sit down and drink tea first, and I will call." ”

As soon as Chen Zhongning's words fell, Chu Mingyuan, who had finished making the call, walked over from the balcony and said apologetically: "Professor Chen, I'm really embarrassed today! Originally, I was going to have lunch with you here, but just now Director Wang of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee called me, and he didn't know where he knew that I was in Jingjiang, so he insisted that I go to have a meal at noon, as if Minister Qu still wanted to participate. Professor Chen, I'm so embarrassed!"

Chu Mingyuan suddenly couldn't stay here to eat again, which made Chen Qingdong a little disappointed, but since he had promised Chen Zhongning to stay here to eat just now, of course he couldn't change anymore.

Chen Zhongning said: "It's okay! It's okay! Mingyuan, your work is important, just go! Qingdong They stayed to eat with me, anyway, there will be some excitement today!"

Chu Mingyuan said to Chen Qingdong: "Qingdong, then please accompany Professor Chen to eat today!"

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Minister Chu, go and get busy, we will definitely be able to take care of Professor Chen." ”

Then, because Chen Qingdong didn't see Ao Chu Mingyuan bring him over, he asked again: "Minister Chu, how did you come over?"

Chu Mingyuan said: "I came by taxi. ”

Chen Qingdong said: "Minister Chu, we are here by car, otherwise let Wang let go of the car and send you over?"

Chu Mingyuan looked at his watch and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome." The time we agreed on is almost up, and I have to go over a little early, otherwise it will be bad for Minister Qu to wait for me. Then he said to Wang Fang very politely: "Then please trouble you to run!"

Wang Fang immediately said: "Minister Chu is polite!"

Chen Qingdong told again: "Wang Fang, you must pay attention to safety on the road, you know?"

Wang Fang said: "Yes, Secretary Chen!"

After Chu Mingyuan said goodbye to them, he went downstairs with Wang Fang, and Chen Zhongning also called the restaurant to order food.

While they were waiting, Chen Qingdong was about to learn more about Chu Mingyuan's situation, so he asked, "Professor Chen, Minister Chu is your student?"

Chen Zhongning said: "Yes, he studied Chinese at Huai University, and I happened to stay on campus to teach at that time, and I was a professor in the Chinese department, so I took him for an academic year, it should be when he was a sophomore." Mingyuan is a very smart student, I remember that I assigned a paper at that time, and I still remember it very clearly, it was "Zhang Ailing's Tragic Consciousness". At that time, Zhang Ailing was already very popular, and a wave of Zhang Ailing fever arose. I was actually working on this paper on a whim because I didn't expect a group of sophomores to write anything that would satisfy me. In fact, after I laid down this article, seventy or eighty percent of the students didn't take it seriously, they were just perfunctory, and most of the students who took it seriously wrote nothing new, and most of them started talking about it from the center of the new women of the old era, or the inversion of the 'Oedipus complex', the analysis of dreams and the perverted psychology, which have actually been discussed by many other famous experts. But Mingyuan is different, he tries to put the islands created by Zhang Ailing into a new world structure from a new perspective, that is, the perspective of modern people, and he also writes very wonderfully, which can be regarded as a family statement!"

After talking about this topic, Chen Zhongning's joy was beyond words, and he continued: "After seeing this paper, I specifically found Mingyuan and had a good chat with him. I found that although Mingyuan was only twenty years old at that time, he was a young man and an old man, and his vision of looking at problems was also very unique, especially in literature! In addition, I also learned that Mingyuan was born in a poor rural family in Jiyang, they have a total of three brothers and sisters, he is the eldest, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister below, but the conditions of his family are too poor, and he can't afford to support three students to study, so his younger brother and sister dropped out of school one after another, and the family supports him to study alone, which is not easy!"

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Minister Chu still has such a poor background!"

Chen Zhongning said: "In fact, in the 80s, the university had not yet expanded its enrollment, and the college students at that time were still the real pride of the sky, and if they wanted to be admitted to the university, they had to carry forward the spirit of the ancients, and they had to study hard day and night in order to come out of the thousands of troops! Many urban children could not stand this suffering, so a considerable number of the college students were children from the countryside, and most of their conditions were quite difficult!"

Chen Lu, who listened very attentively, interjected at this time and asked: "Minister Chu's literary talent was so high back then, why didn't he write, but entered the officialdom?"

Chen Zhongning smiled at Chen Lu and said: "Actually, Mingyuan wrote it when he was in college, at that time I had some friends who worked in magazines, newspapers and other units, I took into account that Mingyuan's family conditions were so poor, and he had this talent, so I encouraged him to write, and then I recommended Mingyuan to those friends of mine, many of them were published, and some of them were also on the "Monthly Report", Mingyuan was also a little famous at that time, and these manuscript fees also solved some of his life problems. ”

"Actually, I have always admired Mingyuan's talent, after he graduated from college, I hope he can go to graduate school and continue to study in literature, but Mingyuan is a person with great ambitions, and in the later period, he has become less and less interested in literature, but hopes to go to politics to develop. Although I feel a little regretful, I also understand Mingyuan, after all, we are still an official-based country!"

In addition, the road of literature is really difficult to follow, and many famous writers just enjoy a clear name, and even if the works they write win any awards, they are still applauded, not to mention those writers who are not famous! Just like Chen Zhongzhong, when he wrote "White Deer Plain", life was very difficult, and he told his wife at that time that if the book could not be published, they would go to raise chickens together. There is also Lu Yao, although he wrote such a classic work as "The Ordinary World", Lu Yao's life has always been very poor, and even after he became famous, he couldn't even get the money for his illness and hospitalization! The downbeat life also led to Lu Yao's untimely death, which is a huge loss for our country! How many years does it take for such a literary giant to produce one? Therefore, if we insist on taking the road of writing, it is indeed difficult to support ourselves. ”

"At that time, college students were still assigned to graduate from the package, and with Mingyuan's academic qualifications and grades, although it was a little difficult to enter a large institution, it was still very possible to stay in the provincial capital. However, at the time of graduation assignment, I don't know how, Mingyuan was assigned to a township primary school in their hometown as a teacher according to the principle of nearby distribution. After Mingyuan got the news, he immediately came to me, hoping that I could help, I was also very anxious, isn't it a cheat in the school like this! After inquiring, I heard from a friend who works in the Personnel Department that the Personnel Department is recruiting staff who can write well and write materials, so I recommended Mingyuan to him. This friend of mine happens to be a small leader in charge of this area, and after reading Mingyuan's resume and looking at what he published, he left Mingyuan in the Personnel Department, and Mingyuan can be regarded as having embarked on a career as he wished. ”

After hearing this, Chen Qingdong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Professor Chen, in this way, you are definitely a noble person in Minister Chu's life! If it weren't for your help, Minister Chu might have been assigned to their hometown to be a teacher, and it would not be possible to have today's opportunity!"

Chen Zhongning smiled and waved his hand, and said modestly: "I'm not a nobleman, at most I just helped Mingyuan pull a line, Mingyuan's achievements today are completely the result of his own efforts, if his writing is not good, he can't publish those, or his understanding is not strong, and he can't get mixed up in the government unit, then he won't have today." ”

Chen Qingdong said with a smile: "Even so, if there was no Professor Chen for you to connect Minister Chu, I'm afraid that even if Minister Chu is a talented learner, there will be no stage to show it!"

Chen Zhongning nodded and said: "That's what you said! Mingyuan has always been very grateful to me because of this matter, in the past twenty years, he has often come to see me, and greeted me with warmth, just like half of my son! Mingyuan's character is definitely not to say, now I don't know how many people will be rampant once they get their ambitions, and people like Mingyuan who do not forget their roots are even more rare!"

Chen Qingdong even claimed that it was, but he said silently in his heart: "Professor Chen, as long as you help me to connect with Minister Chu, I will definitely be able to break out of the world with my own business in the future!"
