Chapter 11 Night Talk
A lot of things seem to be going off course, some good and some bad, some sad and some happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just like Lou Yuanming's matter made Yu Bai decadent for a few days, just like Geng Qiankun's matter made Yu Bai happy for a few days.
But life goes on, and it goes on.
Despite this, Yu Bai made a decision after that, that is, to adjust the current state as soon as possible, how to adjust it?
Get your feet up to speed!
Because Yu Bai had to admit one thing, because of him, this originally familiar and strange world has begun to gradually produce a butterfly effect.
Even if it's only subtle, he still has to do what he needs to do before the familiar things change.
And the most important of them is the sale of "Triple Gate", August 8th, quite auspicious day, in the words of Wang Tansheng, the yellow calendar is printed on the market today, trading, weddings, funerals, and marriages.
At this moment, Yu Bai was already sitting on the train from Zhongzhou City to Changsam City, the purpose was to participate in the two signing meetings of "Triple Gate", originally he could take a plane, after all, the manuscript fee for the scarlet serialization on the fireworks has been received, and the cost of the scarlet publication has also been received.
Even so, he still chose the train, although Wang Tansheng repeatedly suggested taking a plane, because it was fast, because he arrived in Changsam City, and he had to discuss the details of the signing meeting.
Yu Bai stubbornly got on the train, this time Yu Bai's mother didn't come to see him off, because during this time, all the neighbors and friends were praising Yu Bai, and he became an adult and a celebrity overnight. Except for the night before leaving, my mother repeatedly told me to see him off.
After a ten-hour trip from Zhongzhou to Changsam City, Yu Bai finally regretted this decision after arriving at the station, because this time was surprisingly difficult. It's not because he was recognized, because he is not a star, and he is not famous to that extent, but because he has to do a signing that he has never done in two generations, he is a little urgent, so he will inevitably feel tormented.
After arriving at the station, he was picked up by Wang Tansheng, who had been waiting for a long time, the car was a Santana, neither new nor old, and Wang Tansheng who was driving seemed very active.
kept pointing at the building next to him, pointing and talking.
"Now we are walking on the North Second Ring Road, and we see that there is no one, it is the highest building in Changsam City, the Telecom Building."
"By the way, the one in front is the 10,000-person square, not long after it was built, and it is crowded with people every night."
"Also, if you want to go out and go out for a walk in the past two days, Huangxing Road and Zhongshan Road are all commercial areas, and there are some other places, such as Dongtang Business District, Yuanjialing ......."
“……”
Seeing Wang Tansheng driving and talking endlessly, Yu Bai hurriedly stopped, "Don't introduce me, brother, I'm here to work, not to travel, so I'm not so particular." ”
"Hehe, that's good, brother won't talk about it, let's go to the hotel where we will stay later, you put your things there to take a shower, and then go to dinner together, just a few friends also want to see you."
"Well, work is important, you said that I am a poor student, and I don't know how to go shopping, even if I really go, I won't buy it, what a waste of feelings."
Immediately, both of them burst out laughing.
The place to stay is a fast hotel, which Yu Bai requested, because he didn't want this not easy old brother to invite him to live in the stars in order to receive him, there was no need.
Half an hour later, Yu Bai and Wang Tansheng sat in a rather chic private restaurant, the geographical location is quite remote, the decoration is quite meticulous and stylish, it is hard to imagine that in the high-rise Changsam City, there can be an elegance hidden in reinforced concrete.
In the seat, he may have seen Yu Bai's thoughts, Wang Tansheng put his suit jacket aside, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't look at the business here is not good, but ordinary people in this place really can't find it, that is, me." ”
"What do you mean, open the door to do business, since the elder brother respects this place so much, the reputation is not bad, but how can you eat at only a few tables?"
Yu Bai said, skimming around, this restaurant does not have the appearance of a restaurant at all, there is no so-called single room, there is no so-called restaurant layout, and even any bit of commercial atmosphere can not be seen, the whole is a large courtyard, mountains and rivers pavilions, surrounded by flowers and plants, one table at a time, just like in a private manor. But this place is obviously more intimate, because it is night, most places are hung with red lanterns, in addition, there are landscape paintings, pieces of porcelain are placed.
Wang Tansheng shook his hand, picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups, Yu Bai got up and took his cup in front of him.
After taking a sip of tea with considerable enjoyment, he said slowly, "This Hunan cuisine private restaurant was opened by a strange person, why is it said to be a strange person, because he didn't open this restaurant to make money at first." If you think, a business that is not for profit will naturally look different from other places, but not to mention, there are strange benefits. If you look at the scenery here, it's really much better than the restaurants outside. ”
Nodding, Yu Bai listened to a rough idea, although he didn't know it yet, but he didn't ask, after all, this is not the point of today.
Then he asked, "By the way, brother, you said that you have friends coming today, who are they?" ”
"No one, an old friend of mine and a young writer, you'll find out when we come......"
Before he finished speaking, there was a hearty smile in the distance, and following the laughter, Yu Bai looked over and saw two big men striding over.
Wang Tansheng got up and greeted him with a smile, and the next thing was to greet each other.
Taking advantage of this effort, Yu Bai saw the two of them clearly, the age of the leader was not confused, and the younger one next to him was twenty-five or sixteen. Yu Bai also stood up and looked at the old and young with a smile.
After Wang Tansheng's greetings were over, he pointed at Yu Bai and said in a loud voice, "Come, old man, let me introduce you, this is Yu Bai, who has recently become famous." ”
After speaking, he looked at the two people next to him and continued, "Yu Bai, this is a senior at work, I won't mention the name, I don't know you either, the one in his early twenties behind is his student Pu Lizi, you two should know each other well." ”
Just when Yu Bai racked his brains to figure out the identity of the old man in front of him and who this student in his early twenties with a strange name was, the old man suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
Yu Bai also reached out to respond without hesitation, the two hands were held together like this, and the first thing Yu Bai felt was the strength, the strength was very strong, which was not like the hand strength that an old man in his fifties should have.
"Fan Youwei, meet for the first time, bear with me."
He said this with a smile, and Yu Bai hurriedly replied, "You're polite, boy Yu Bai, but please take care of me." ”
Before tonight, Yu Bai naively thought that this was just a friend of Wang Tansheng, a senior, until many days later, a chance aid, he understood that Fan Youwei is a well-known writer in China, and now the editor-in-chief of Xiangjiang Morning News.
As for the other one...... Yu Bai is quite familiar.
After taking a seat, the food banquet slowly went up, and the two old ones seemed to deliberately leave space for the two small ones to talk, and the two of them drank and chatted happily, but Yu Bai looked a little deserted here.
Yu Bai is actually not a self-acquaintance, on the contrary, he has some inferiority, even if this inferiority complex is slight, but the easiest way to do it in front of strangers is to remain silent.
So for a while, the cold atmosphere between the two and the lively conversation next to them seemed a little cold and fiery.
Yu Bai carefully looked at the man in his early twenties next to him, he looked a little delicate, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, long hair, he was neither restless nor impatient, but drank tea very quietly, looked at the scenery behind him from time to time, and occasionally left the equally quiet Yu Bai.
At this point, Yu Bai smiled helplessly, knowing that the two of them had met, if it was really a meal, if he didn't say it, he wouldn't say it, it would really be a bit of a disappointment to Wang Tansheng's kindness.
Then he coughed, adjusted his sitting posture, and said in a deep voice, "Are you a student of Mr. Fan?" ”
Obviously, Pu Rizi seemed to have been waiting for him to speak, and when she heard the question, she didn't think about it, so she replied, "No, because he never admitted it from beginning to end." ”
This made Yu Bai a little surprised, seeing Yu Bai's expression, Pu Lizi smiled, "Maybe his old man thinks I'm not qualified." ”
Yu Bai shook his head in his heart, strange things happen every year, especially this year. A somewhat old-fashioned old man, a somewhat wooden student, is really a perfect match.
"Acquaintance, my name is Yu Bai, from Qiaoping County, Henan Province."
"I know you, the winner of the first prize of the new concept essay, I have read all three articles you participated in, and "Scarlet", which is quite distinctive, and is outstanding in your generation."
treats people who are not stingy and praises others, Yu Bai always treats him the same, "You are also a writer, right?" I don't know if you've published a book. ”
"Rarely, it doesn't seem to be, just occasionally writing essays on the Internet or something."
"Oh? And what is your pen name? Yu Bai became interested, after all, it was difficult to judge anything based on his appearance alone.
"Li stupid, have you heard of it?"
“……”
Yu Bai was a little dumbfounded for a while, he couldn't have imagined that the guy in front of him who was quiet and a little autistic turned out to be Li Silly!
Who is Li Silly?
People who don't know him really don't know, even if they have never heard of his name, but when you know, he was once called "Young Shen Congwen", and he was in the limelight at that time, once overshadowing Guo Jingming, Han Han and others, and then appeared in Time Magazine Weekly with a "Red X".
Known as the "leading figure in the post-80s literary world", he was once used to confront Guo Jingming's youth literature.
Thinking about it, Yu Bai suddenly realized that wasn't Li Silly at the beginning who became popular on the Internet? And then it got out of hand. Now he may still be in the fermentation period, because the Internet has not yet begun to prevail, and it has not reached the explosive rapid development state of later generations.
Thinking of this, Yu Bai was a little strange that such a character still had people who couldn't look down on him. At this, Yu Bai looked at Pu Lizi and Fan Youwei not far away, and was amazed in his heart.
"What's wrong? If you haven't heard of it, it's no wonder that many people say that I'm not writing material. ”
Yu Bai heard the taste of self-deprecation in his words, but who was he? He was born again, and for the man in front of him, who was a few years older than himself, he was very sure and certain that he was not only a piece of writing material, but also that he would radiate his unique light in less than two years.
If he knew what he would have achieved in the future, he would not have this unfortunate loss now. Yu Bai thought so.
With a "bang", Yu Bai suddenly slapped the table, and Yang Sheng asked.
"Is there any wine?"
The non-stop conversation followed, and then Yu Bai drank wine and drank with the somewhat depressed Pu Lizi in front of him.
"You're actually not a few years older than me, so how about we be brothers?"
"Whatever you want." Pu Lizi shrugged, and every time she drank, she would glance at Fan Youwei intentionally or unintentionally.
Yu Bai naturally noticed this, and for some reason, Yu Bai suddenly had the idea of wanting to be Bole, why? Because he came from the future, he can fundamentally change many things, such as Wang Tansheng's predicament, such as Pu Lizi's current ambition.
It's really not good, just learn from Guo Xiaosi to run a cultural company?
The thought flashed like lightning! Just like his strange appearance, there is no trace of it when he disappears.
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Yu Bai quickly dispelled this idea, not that he can't, but he can't.
It's not easy to live again, but choosing words and making sentences, writing and composing, is his strength, and it's the only place he is familiar with. But to start a cultural company, not to mention the cost, just the matters to be detailed can make Yu Bai annoyed, which is contrary to the junior high school of his two lives.
Then he shook his head and put this somewhat dangerous thought, "Yes, flowers will bloom sooner or later, and people will become famous sooner or later, when I am a brother, believe me, your name Li Silly will not only let everyone in China know, but also let people all over the world see it." ”
This sentence brightened Pu Rizi's dim eyes, but it was at that moment, "Then I will accept your auspicious words." ”
The two drank and drank, and talked and talked.
I drank beer, and I said things like a running account.
At the beginning, it was lively on Wang Tansheng's side, and now it is Yubai's side.
It wasn't until the drunkenness poured out that Yu Bai slowly said the words in his heart.
"Dude, when I get out, I'll give you a hand."
"No, like you said, people will become famous sooner or later, since they will be famous sooner or later, I don't mind being late for a while, what I mind is whether it is through myself to become famous."
After speaking, the two wine glasses collided again.
