Qian Dexu is the vice chairman of the Beijing Writers Association and the editor-in-chief of the People's Daily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the last time he and a few old guys jointly spoke up for a young man named Yu Bai, Qian Dexu's life has been quite comfortable, because he feels that there is still a future in the Chinese literary world. Because he had long been tired of meeting endlessly and discussing literary matters that had been abandoned by the times.

But he is in an important position, but he can't avoid it.

The two intersect, I am afraid that only a new author like Yu Bai, who is full of fighting spirit and passion, will make him feel a little gratified.

The life of the newspaper is day after day, Qian Dexu is very satisfied with his current job, and he is also trying his best to do this job well.

After dealing with the day's affairs, he really wanted to go home quickly, because today he asked a few old friends to drink tea and play chess together.

Just as I packed my things, there was a knock on the office door.

At this time, it stands to reason that the newspaper is the busiest, because he has to summarize the day's work, and he also has to prepare what needs to be done the next day, and even some people have to review the manuscripts that need to be done the next day, so he wonders who is knocking on the door at this time.

"Come in." After speaking, Qian Dexu sat back in his seat.

When he opened the door, he actually saw Uncle Ge in the mailroom, which surprised Qian Dexu and was very puzzled.

"Brother, ...... you are"

Uncle Ge is a generation older than Qian Dexu, he was the backbone of the newspaper before, and later after retirement, he didn't want to be idle at home, so he worked in a mailroom in the newspaper.

"Editor-in-chief Qian, I don't have anything to do, I just want to come over and talk to you."

"This ......"

For a while, Qian Dexu was even more confused, although Uncle Ge is easy-going and popular, he has always been a loner, not to mention who he deliberately befriended, he did this job completely out of love for the newspaper.

Although Qian Dexu didn't understand it, Uncle Ge still sat opposite him.

"Has something big happened to Lao Qian recently?"

"Big deal?"

Qian Dexu thought for a while, then shook his head, "It's not a big deal, the people are healthy, the country is prosperous, what's wrong with you, brother?" If you want to have something, just say it, you are an old hero of our newspaper. ”

This is not unreasonable, because in Qian Dexu's opinion, Uncle Ge must have something unspeakable, otherwise he would not have come here.

So he said something to be honest, like Uncle Ge, if it wasn't something out of the ordinary, he would really help with it, who didn't have one or two things to ask for.

But Uncle Ge was still not in a hurry, and while sighing, he took out a neat manuscript that he folded from the pocket of his jacket.

Then he carefully opened it and put it in front of Qian Dexu.

"Although I am old and have not been out of Beijing City for more than 20 years, I know that the way of the world has always changed, and now those high-rise buildings, I am worried that if they collapse one day, something happens, how many people will suffer." After Uncle Ge finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the manuscript, "I don't know who took this manuscript, so I threw it on the table at the door of the newspaper, but fortunately, I found it, what was written in it, I think it should be useful to you, you can also take a look, worry about it, and help if you can." ”

When he saw Qian Dexu nodding and opening the manuscript and starting to read it, he got up and left with his hands behind his back.

"People are like this when they are old, they can't see others suffer, they can't listen to others' complaints, Yu Bai, this child...... Pretty good. ”

Although Qian Dexu held the manuscript in his hand, to be honest, he hadn't read a word yet, but when Uncle Ge mentioned Yu Bai before leaving, he suddenly chuckled in his heart.

Yu Bai? What's wrong with Yu Bai!

Immediately, I didn't care about anything else, quickly opened the manuscript, and read it.

"Literature is dead, there is something to burn paper! Author, Yu Bai. ”

Qian Dexu, who was about to drink water from a water cup, was suddenly stunned because of these four words, and then the hand holding the water cup was withdrawn, and he looked at the manuscript with both hands very attentively.

The whole process didn't last long, but after watching it, he frowned.

After a good meeting, I just stared at the manuscript in my hand, and I don't know whether to sigh or be excited.

"Yu Bai...... You've got a problem for me! ”

……

Let's ignore Qian Dexu's convulsions and melancholy, because there is another person who has lived quite comfortably recently, and that is Cao Qianchen.

Since returning to Changsam City, even if he has drastically rectified and merged, he has always had a pimple in his heart, and this pimple is Wang Tansheng.

Because it was this person back then who left him with nothing and made him leave his homeland.

So in any case, pull this person off the horse.

The result?

The result is that he did it, not only did it, but did it quite beautifully, without leaking, and it can be said that no one would suspect him.

But there is a good saying, cut the grass and remove the roots.

Yu Bai, the little guy who didn't know what to do, actually rejected his solicitation, not only refused, but he also got the news that he wanted to expose himself, which was ridiculous!

After getting the news, Cao Qianchen only made a few phone calls, and the entire Hunan Province, the whole of Huaxia, this person called Yu Bai, was in the land of no cone. And this is the reward that Cao Qianchen has made over the years, he has connections, he has friends, just a remnant, if you don't cooperate with me, you will taste the bitter fruits you planted.

The result is obvious, in just one day, Cao Qianchen received more than a dozen phone calls, from Lao Tzu's major newspapers across the country.

It is said that Yu Bai wrote a manuscript without his strength and wanted them to publish it.

The people who were invited by these people to say it, in addition to asking Cao Qianchen to thank them for what they had done, naturally they had to laugh at Yu Bai's incompetence again.

Although Yu Bai did this passively, in their eyes, there was no difference.

And Cao Qianchen is still living his nourishing life, thinking about the dream of sitting in the Chinese publishing industry.

……

The first time she asked to see her failed, Pu Lizi tossed and turned in the hotel all night without sleeping, and on the second day, she stared at the dark circles under her eyes and came to the People's Daily office early.

In his opinion, Yu Bai had already left disappointed, so he must not go with him.

This time, I just entered the newspaper office, and I was lucky that no one stopped me, but I was beckoned by a smiling old man.

"Are you calling me?" Urariko stepped forward and pointed to herself and asked.

"There's no one else at the door, of course it's calling you." After speaking, the old man looked at him not at all like looking at a stranger, but like looking at a very appreciative descendant, "You brought the manuscript yesterday, right?" ”

"Manuscript? What ......" just wanted to ask what the manuscript was, Pu Lizi remembered that he had done something left over from the manuscript written by Yu Bai, and now when he heard someone in the newspaper mention it, he was naturally excited, "Yes, yes, I left a manuscript here." ”

"Haha, that's right, Yu Bai is honest, I'm so old, I can see someone say those words again...... Not bad, not bad. It's just that you're much smaller than I thought you were, how old are you...... Twenty? ”

Although Pu Riko was happy that Yu Bai's manuscript was read and appreciated, he soon realized that the other party had recognized the wrong person, because the real author, Yu Bai, did not come.

Hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I think you misunderstood, I'm not Yu Bai." ”

"What's not Yu Bai?" The old man looked a little surprised, "You took the manuscript, why aren't you?" Where is he ...... Yu Bai?"

Just when the two of them were communicating with each other, Qian Dexu, who had just arrived at the newspaper office to work, was stunned.

"Yu Bai is here?"

Speaking of which, since Qian Dexu saw the article "Literature is Dead" written by Yu Bai yesterday, not only did he not go to drink tea and play chess with his old friends, but he didn't even have a good rest last night, he thought about Yu Bai and his manuscript over and over again.

As the editor-in-chief of the People's Daily, he has seen too many manuscripts of this kind and that, but he has never had a manuscript that has allowed him to reach such a point.

Talk about literature, talk about phenomena, talk about the past, talk about the future.

In short, there are too many things in this short manuscript that make Qian Dexu empathize.

But then there were a lot of troubles, because he didn't know what Yu Bai meant by sending this manuscript over, was it for himself to be corrected? But what can I correct. Let yourself help him publish? This was a bit of a dilemma, because he could fully anticipate the energy of the manuscript, and he could even imagine what kind of controversy it would cause once it was published.

So, he hesitated and hesitated.

But I couldn't think of a reason for it, so I thought about returning to the club today to ask Uncle Ge where Yu Bai was who sent the manuscript, and I could find him for an interview.

With an idea, Qian Dexu came earlier than usual, but as soon as he entered the door of the newspaper, he heard such a conversation.

When he walked closer quickly, he didn't see Yu Bai's figure at all, so he asked again.

"Uncle Ge, what about Yu Bai?"

Qian Dexu asked in a hurry, and he didn't notice the existence of Pu Lizi next to him.

And Uncle Ge had never seen Qian Dexu in such an urgency, so he immediately pointed to Pu Lizi in front of him.

"Ask him, I'm looking for Yu Bai too."

Later, Qian Dexu noticed Pu Lizi next to him, a person with a tired face but a humble attitude.

"Yu Bai didn't come with you?"

Pu Lizi is a little uncertain at the moment, because he hasn't figured out the situation until now, he doesn't know who this uncle is, and he doesn't know who the person in front of him is.

"Young man, don't be stupid, he is the editor-in-chief of the People's Daily you are looking for, if there is anything, tell him, yes."

Uncle Ge's words woke up Pu Lizi, and for a while, he was rejected by more than a dozen media, and Yu Bai was blocked, and the torment of the past few days disappeared in an instant because of Qian Dexu's emphasis on Yu Bai, because he could feel that he had come to the right place in Pound City this time.

Immediately said to Qian Dexu with a moving expression.

"Yu Bai...... Yu Bai he was blocked, I came from Changsam City to find you, I hope you can help him. ”

Feeling the difficulty of Pu Lizi in front of him, Qian Dexu immediately patted him on the shoulder and led him to his office.

"It's okay, it's going to be fine, come with me, let's have a good talk."
