Chapter 2 Interview Harmony
Life is not as good as imagined, nor is it as tragic as it is in tragedy. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info plain to the right place, and gentle to no sadness or joy.
At four or five o'clock in the morning, I helped my mother go to Xiguan Vegetable Farm in Qiaoping County, and bought the vegetables sold today from the vegetable seller before returning home. This is also the only time of the day when Yu Bai can come out for activities, and the rest of the time he is really afraid of being caught by a reporter on the road and asking a lot of questions.
In fact, like this, it is still more subtle, and there are more rough ones, without saying a word, seeing Yu Bai himself is taking pictures, and then saying a lot of words that he doesn't understand, and then he walks away, and after two ****, you can see some things reported by a media on the Internet that "Yu Bai dictated". For these, Yu Bai is not unfazed, but a little unaccustomed.
But fortunately, many things have a heat, just like when Yu Bai studied in high school, and the heat will end after three minutes.
It is also a truth to put it on Yu Bai, and after a few days, everyone seems to be tired of hearing the word Yu Bai and related reports, so there are fewer interviews, or even almost none. This made Yu Bai's life return to normal, and without the harassment of those external factors, Yu Bai's life would be much calmer.
In the morning, he helped his mother pull vegetables, and sometimes he went to help sell them during the day, although his mother often urged him to go home to read and write, Yu Bai would still stay for most of the day.
In addition, the neighbors in the street will not hesitate to praise Yu Bai, and even regard Yu Bai as a role model for their children, such as when they meet on the road, they will preach to their son who is only a few years old; See, this is the brother Yu Bai who is in the newspaper every day, and you will have to follow your brother's example in the future and be a promising person.
In this regard, Yu Bai can only smile, right, someone who has a future?
He may not be qualified enough, and he is also a little scared of the role model, because in his bones he is a person who wants to eat, drink and have fun, chat with the people he likes, drink and talk nonsense with his buddies, or accompany his family to eat and watch TV, do the work he likes by the way, and write a few articles that he wants to write.
Such a person does not say that mediocrity is extreme, ordinary is true.
So many times, Yu Bai would shake his head at the children who called him a great writer, saying that he was nothing.
Today's Yu Bai is the most handsome and free day in the holiday, with clean and fresh hair, neat clothes, and a face that has been washed with soap several times. Then he sat down at the desk and looked at the book, which was taken from the shelf casually, and he didn't pay attention to any name, but he read it anyway to kill time.
Because soon Wang Tansheng will come to Qiaoping County, Yu Bai's original intention was to go to Zhongzhou to meet, after all, an authentic southerner in Hunan Province, there are many opportunities to come to the north, but if you want to say that it is not very possible to come to Qiaoping, a small county, maybe you haven't even heard of it before.
But Wang Tansheng insisted on coming over in person, and said that he would meet with literary geniuses, and this sincerity still needs to be there.
Yu Bai could only reluctantly accept this, pack himself up, and wait for the upcoming meeting.
About two hours later, calculating the time, the other party should also transfer from Zhongzhou City to Qiaoping County, so he was about to call, but coincidentally, as soon as the mobile phone was in his hand, it showed an unfamiliar number and called in.
The display hesitated for a few seconds before picking it up.
"Hey, who's that?" The reason for this hesitation is that he is completely frightened by those omnipotent reporters, but fortunately, the unfamiliar number is not called by the interviewer, but by Wang Tansheng himself.
"Brother, where is your house?"
"Arrived? Where are you I'm going to pick you up, the station or somewhere? With that, Yu Bai put the book on the table and stood up.
But there were bursts of laughter from the other party, "Brother, don't worry, I didn't come by bus, it just so happened that there was a friend in Zhongzhou, I heard that I was coming to Qiaoping, so he sent me over by the way, where do you live, we will drive over directly." ”
Yu Bai didn't push it, so he told the address of his home.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Bai patted his forehead, a little helpless.
I thought I would see you outside, and when the time comes, I will find a random restaurant or other place to talk about things, but I never thought that I would be at home, and I looked around at my simple but tidy little home, and Yu Bai had no idea of cleaning up again.
Just see it, I was originally a person from a small place, and I was originally a poor child, so there is no need to pretend to be a literary and artistic celebrity just because of a contract, I can't do it at all.
That is, simply sweep the floor and clean up the messy things in the living room.
Halfway through the process, the doorbell rang.
opened the door and looked at Wang Tansheng, who was a little tired and his face was slightly tired, but his spirit was extremely excited, and Yu Bai was a little stunned for a while. Because in his imagination, Wang Tansheng, whether it is his name or the other party's words, makes Yu Bai think that the other party is a gentle and elegant person, even if it is not the case, at least he is a literati with a pair of eyes and a moderate demeanor.
But what about reality?
Gentle and elegant has nothing to do with him at all, the whole person is very burly, maybe because he went out on business, he wore a suit, at the moment due to the hot weather, put the coat on his hand, only wore the short-sleeved shirt inside, and the leather shoes below were probably stepping on something on the garbage heap downstairs, stained with unknown objects.
Seeing the other party with such an image, Rao is Yu Bai still couldn't help laughing out loud after decades of psychological experience.
Seeing Yu Bai laughing, Wang Tansheng was very interested, and his two feet deliberately rubbed back and forth on the ground at the door a few times, and his face was also smiling.
"Brother, come in quickly, it's been hard along the way."
"Hey, it's not hard."
At this moment, Yu Bai felt in a trance that he was a big brother, of course, this was just a momentary thought. Soon he found his identity and position. poured a glass of water for Wang Tansheng, who was sitting on the sofa, and then opened the floor fan next to him and blew it.
The greening of the community is good, this is also the only place where Yu Bai has a good impression of his living environment, the three-story plane tree, just let Yu Bai's house have shade, so the house does not feel too hot.
There were no guests and hosts seated, Wang Tansheng sat on the sofa, Yu Bai sat on the stool opposite, and the two of them were separated by a coffee table.
Wang Tansheng drank the cool white open in his hand and looked around.
Yu Bai said lightly, "The conditions at home are not good, the air conditioner is useless, and my brother will forgive me." ”
Waving his hand, Wang Tansheng put down the water cup that drank the remaining half, "No matter how bad the conditions are, they are stronger than when I was a child, let me tell you, my hometown used to be a rural area in southern Hunan, and that guy was like a sauna in the summer, you are quite good, at least there are trees, and the senses are not so hot." ”
Either to say that communicating with someone who can chat will not make people feel tired, this is not unreasonable.
Let's not talk about the authenticity of Wang Tansheng's words, although the two knew each other before, they didn't know each other very well, even if they cooperated, their impressions of each other would still be scored. Don't underestimate this communication, if the other party is really the kind of person who judges people by their appearance, they will cry out to death as soon as they come up, why don't they even have an air conditioner, they dislike this and dislike that.
I'm afraid Yu Bai won't even pour this glass of water, so he will kill people.
And at this moment, when Wang Tansheng said this, the little embarrassment in Yu Bai's heart was completely eliminated.
The conversation is also a little casual, which can be felt.
"That's good, brother, you're a guest from afar, you can't be lazy." After Yu Bai finished speaking, he saw that he loosened his neckline again. And the feet under his feet were still rubbing against the ground, as if the things on the shoes hadn't been removed yet.
may have felt Yu Bai's gaze, Wang Tansheng immediately laughed again, "Brother, don't laugh at brother, although I don't have any literati, but I am a practical person." ”
"I really believe that." Yu Bai nodded, "Just look like you, brother, and this style, if you weren't a person who can do practical things, I really can't think of the reason why you can get to where you are today." ”
Then the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Okay, it's not early, my friend is still waiting for me in the car, let's talk about business."
"Well, the manuscript is in my bedroom, I'll get it for you."
After speaking, Yu Bai turned around and went back to the bedroom to get the manuscript of "Triple Door", but as soon as he took the manuscript in his hand, he turned around and almost bumped into Wang Tansheng, who didn't know when he came in.
"Brother, you don't have to be so impatient."
It was originally a joke, but Wang Tansheng didn't have the previous easy-going, but shook his head very seriously, "Work is work, joke is joke, you can't mix it up, not to mention that your "Triple Gate" is the root of whether I can turn over." ”
It wasn't until this moment that Yu Bai understood a little, the person in front of him was the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, not an elder who came to chat with him.
At this point, Yu Bai also nodded, "Yes, then brother, you can take a look at it first, this book has a total of almost 210,000 words, let's see if it suits your appetite." ”
The moment Wang Tansheng got the manuscript and suddenly became serious just now, his meticulous expression and impatient movements all showed how much he valued this "Triple Gate".
At first, Yu Bai thought that he was just looking at it casually, but who knew that Wang Tansheng didn't turn it back at all since he got the manuscript, but read it word by word from the first page, not fast or slow, but he could detect the progress of his reading from the shift of his gaze.
After reading and turning the page, Yu Bai waited patiently for a minute or two, and saw that he still had no intention of stopping.
Feeling the sweat running down his spine, he didn't bother, so he got up and turned on the fan in the bedroom, while he sat on the chair next to him and looked at the book that had been placed on the desk earlier.
