Chapter 263: The network of human connections, Nanako’s Writers Association father (monthly ticket plus updates)
After hearing Chen Kaige's words, Fang Yan and Meng Jimin looked at each other in unison.
They didn't expect that someone from the Writers' Association would be there on Sunday.
When Chen Kaige went to the study to report, Meng Jimin asked in the dialect:
"How about it? Can you take it out?"
"If it doesn't work out, let's find another chance."
Fang Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said:
"No, it doesn't hurt to let him see it."
Meng Jimin reminded in a low voice:
"He also came to see Chen Huaikai to read the manuscript. If this person comments a few words...don't forget, writers look down on each other, and colleagues are enemies."
Dialect had a different view, he said:
"It's not as serious as you think. How old must be a person who can be called uncle by Chen Kaige? The writing is definitely not the type of educated youth literature."
Meng Jimin thought about it, thought for a while and said:
"It seems to make sense..."
Dialect said:
"So don't worry so much. Take a step back and say, even if he messed up this matter, we can't find someone else."
"Without Director Chen, there are still Directors Zhang and Li, and there are so many publishing houses."
"If you care, you will be confused. Don't think too much. You will treat him well later. I will take care of the rest."
After hearing the dialect say so, Meng Jimin didn't have much to say.
He nodded and responded:
"Okay, then I'll listen to you."
At this time, Chen Kaige also walked out of the study. He said to Meng Jimin who was sitting on the sofa in the living room:
"Brother Meng, my dad asked you to go in and help him treat him right now."
"Okay." Meng Jimin nodded, then stood up and said casually to Fang Yan:
"Old Fang, let's go in together."
Fang Yan nodded, but Chen Kaige had no objection at all and even made a gesture of invitation to them all.
When he walked into the study room, Fang Yan's first impression was that the study here was much smaller than his own study room. There was only a desk, two bookcases, and two sofas in it. It seemed that the space was a bit tight.
But it is definitely much bigger than the house in the BIT Family Courtyard.
He moved his eyes behind the desk, where two people were sitting, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked very similar to Chen Kaige.
This is director Chen Huaikai.
The other middle-aged man with a high nose and deep eye sockets should be Uncle Cai from the Writers Association that Chen Kaige mentioned.
Fang Yan felt that this man looked familiar, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
As soon as Meng Jimin entered the door, he smiled and said hello to Chen Huaikai at the desk:
"Comrade Chen."
Chen Huaikai stood up with a smile and greeted him:
"Jimin, it's really hard for you to travel on this big weekend, but to be honest, you came just in time. My neck and waist happened to be uncomfortable today."
It can be seen that the two of them are indeed familiar with each other.
Chen Kaige now wisely told everyone that he would pour tea and then exited the study.
Meng Jimin was now chatting with Chen Huaikai.
After saying a few words, Meng Jimin turned his eyes to the middle-aged man aside, and Chen Huaikai hurriedly said:
"Let me introduce to you. This is Professor Cai Yuping from the School of Economics. He is also a comrade of our Writers Association and is an old friend of mine."
"The little Haixia in "Haixia" was played by his daughter."
When Fang Yan on the side heard this, he finally remembered who it was.
The man in front of him turned out to be Nanako's father.
At this moment, Cai Ming should be only sixteen or seventeen years old, still a little girl.
After hearing the introduction, Meng Jimin hurriedly greeted:
"It turns out to be Professor Cai, disrespectful!"
Then Chen Huaikai solemnly introduced Meng Jimin.
They talked about how long they had known each other, and who was mentored by Meng Jimin, and who his father-in-law was in the army...
After hearing this, Professor Cai also stood up, shook hands with Meng Jimin and talked for a long time.
You can guess the dialect. Meng Jimin's father-in-law must be of high status.
Then Chen Huaikai saw the dialect behind Meng Jimin, so he asked curiously:
"Jimin, who is this behind you?"
Meng Jimin hurriedly said:
"Oh, this is my friend and an expert from our Dongzhimen Hospital, Comrade Fang Yan."
"He won two medical achievements at the Ministry of Health Conference this year and was nominated by the newspaper as one of the eight outstanding medical figures."
After hearing this, Chen Huaikai stretched out his hand and shook Fang Yan:
"I have admired you for a long time..."
Then Meng Jimin talked about his father-in-law in dialect and his relationship with the Zhu family. When he heard that he was the son-in-law of Lao Zhu's family, Chen Huaikai became enthusiastic and even said that his future was limitless.
Fang Yan understood. If he didn't have this status blessing, people probably wouldn't care too much. Sure enough, the world is full of sophistication and connections...
The person carrying the sedan chair also said to Chen Huaikai in dialect:
"Hello Director Chen, I like your work very much. Knowing that Jimin knows you, I have wanted to come and meet you for a long time."
After hearing this, Chen Huaikai laughed repeatedly and said how could he be so good?
At this time, Meng Jimin also intervened and said to Chen Huaikai:
"Dialect's medical skills are very powerful. I heard that I was coming to see you today, so I said that I wanted to come and see you. By the way... I also have some works that I would like you to see and give me some advice on."
Hearing Meng Jimin's words, Professor Cai beside Chen Huaikai was startled. Only then did he realize that he was still holding a document bag in his hand. Chen Huaikai asked curiously:
"Huh? Doctor Fang is also engaged in literary creation?"
Fang Yan handed over the document bag smoothly:
"No, no, it was written by my brother. He wanted me to find professionals in the industry to take a look. I happened to know that Jimin was coming over today, so I shamelessly followed him. I want you to help take a look."
< br>
Chen Huaikai took the document bag and said with a smile:
"Comrade Fang Yan praises me so much, so I have to see everything I say first!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Meng Jimin said:
"We are treating and watching at the same time, so we don't waste time."
"Okay, that's the best." Chen Huaikai nodded repeatedly.
Now Meng Jimin took advantage of the situation and pushed Professor Cai aside, as if he was afraid that others would see him.
Fang Yan was secretly amused when he saw this scene.
Next, Chen Huaikai took off his clothes and turned off the electric fan in the room. Then Meng Jimin started to apply needles on his back.
While being treated, Chen Huaikai opened the document bag and took out the manuscript inside.
When he saw the manuscript copied on the carbon paper, he paused, but didn't say anything.
Then after he saw the title, he couldn't help but asked in dialect:
""Love in Black Earth"...Is this your first time writing a novel?"
"That's right, it's my first time writing." Fang Yan nodded.
Chen Huaikai didn't say anything. Professor Cai, who was originally curious, was no longer curious now, and his eyes returned to the manuscript he brought.
After a while, Chen Kaige came in with tea, and Fang Yan sat on their sofa, drinking tea while observing Chen Huaikai's expression.
It was obvious that this person was dismissive at first, but after reading the first paragraph, he immediately became serious.
Then gradually fell into the plot.
At this moment, Chen Kaige took out his cigarette and asked Fang Yan:
"Brother Fang, do you smoke?"
Dialect shook his head:
"No, thank you."
In fact, Chen Kaige was born in 1952, three years older than Fang Yan.
Calling him Brother Fang was completely wrong, but the dialect was not corrected.
The future Director Chen smoked cigarettes for himself and called him brother. How awesome is this.
Then Chen Kaige went to give Professor Cai another one, and then started smoking in the room.
It can be seen that his family's control over him is quite loose. It's no wonder that he has so many strange hobbies.
After Meng Jimin received acupuncture, he began to retain the needles.
This time leave the needle on for half an hour.
He took the tea and drank it next to Chen Huaikai.
After about ten minutes, Chen Huaikai stood up abruptly and asked excitedly:
"What about the content at the end? Why did it suddenly disappear?"
Professor Cai suddenly showed a surprised expression when he saw Chen Huaikai losing his composure.
He couldn't help but ask:
"Well written?"
Chen Huaikai excitedly held the manuscript and said:
"Lao Cai, isn't this great?"
"This is a new theme, a theme that has never been seen on the market!"
"And this author has made rapid progress, and his growth can be clearly felt in the three stories."
"I can't even imagine how far he can write in the future!"
Professor Cai was startled and said hurriedly:
"Old Chen, show me!"
PS: The monthly ticket has increased by 100, so I still owe everyone 41,000 after finishing this chapter.
No more today, please be early tomorrow.
Lao Feng worked hard to prepare for tomorrow.
