Chapter 105 Liu Xinwu's Invitation
Looking at everyone's reaction, Ms. Chu chuckled and said, "We have already obtained the information. Please take a closer look when you go back. In another half month, we will go Xiangjiang, please be prepared and gather in front of the Ministry of Culture Guesthouse on the morning of the 10th."
After the disbandment, everyone walked out.
Chen Jiangong said to Liu Hongmin: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a meal together at noon?"
Liu Hongmin nodded, "Come to my house!"
"Okay! Me too. I haven't seen Lao Ge and the others for a long time, so we just want to get together."
Liu Hongmin looked at Liu Xinwu who was hesitant to speak, and invited him casually: "Teacher Liu, let's have a meal together."
Chen Jiangong. Seeing that Liu Xinwu was still hesitant, he immediately said: "Teacher Liu, let's go together! The Hong people are hospitable, so you don't have to be polite."
Liu Xinwu sneered, "I just feel a little bad."
"That's because you don't understand Hongmin. You will know it when you go to his house."
Chen Jiangong pulled Liu Xinwu and followed Liu Hongmin out. The three of them rode bicycles and headed towards Shichahai.
"Hongmin, I'm afraid Teacher Liu wants to ask you for a manuscript."
Liu Hongmin turned his head and looked at Liu Xinwu.
Liu Xinwu glared at Chen Jiangong speechlessly, and then said to Liu Hongmin: "As long as you are an editor, you want to make an appointment with Comrade Weimin."
Chen Jiangong laughed, "That's a good thing. "Hongmin, if you often attend events, I don't know how many editors will ask you for manuscripts."
Liu Hongmin shook his head, "Please spare me! It's okay to let me eat and drink." I’m not good at communication between cultural people.”
“You’re just lazy!” Chen Jiangong said the truth.
Liu Xinwu looked at Liu Hongmin in surprise. He could write hundreds of thousands of words of novels a year, so how could he be a lazy person.
Chen Jiangong explained for him: "Hongmin has a lot of abilities, but also has a wide range of interests. He wants to do this and that, which makes him very tight on time. There is not much entertainment left. Time, he would rather drink and brag with his friends than engage in useless socializing."
Liu Xinwu suddenly said, "Comrade Hongmin is really a wonderful person."
"You can indeed be called a wonderful man."
"Wonderful Man" Liu Hongmin looked at the two of them speechlessly, "I have to say it first, no matter how nice you say, I will not agree. "
Chen Jiangong laughed loudly, "Teacher Liu, you were rejected!"
Liu Xinwu said in confusion: "Comrade Hongmin, I know that your work is in " "Contemporary" was published, but our "Famous Literature" is no worse than "Contemporary""
Liu Hongmin smiled and did not respond to him.
Chen Jiangong smiled and said: "Teacher Liu, Hongmin is more interested in relationships. He cooperates very well with "Contemporary" and will not change places easily."
"That's not right. ?" Liu Xinwu said: "Didn't Comrade Hongmin switch from "Beijing Literature" to "Contemporary" before? "
"Ahem!"
Chen Jiangong coughed twice, "Liu Teacher, don’t mention this again.”
Liu Xinwu looked confused and didn’t know what was going on.
"Old Chen, why are you so mysterious?" Liu Hongmin said calmly: "We have already talked about it, and this matter is over."
Liu Xinwu looked at Chen Jiangong in confusion, and Chen Jiangong whispered: " Hongmin dated a classmate of mine, and the female classmate had a good relationship with the editor of "Jingcheng Literature". Later, they broke up, and Hongmin moved to "Contemporary."
Uh... …
Liu Xinwu thought of many reasons, but he didn’t expect it to be like this. However, it is also understandable that sometimes there is no reason to talk about the relationship between men and women. However, in this case, he really had no hope of getting a manuscript from Liu Hongmin.
The three of them arrived at Shichahai. Liu Xinwu looked at Liu Hongmin's big yard and was surprised.
"So big?"
Chen Jiangong introduced it to him: "Hongmin bought it two years ago, relying on the royalties from the publication of "Young Bao Qingtian" in Hong Kong."< br>
Liu Xinwu said in surprise: "I heard that the remuneration in Xiangjiang was very high before, but I had no idea. Now that I see this courtyard, I realize how big the gap is."
"The gap is indeed not small. But it’s not as big as expected. When Hong Min was at his peak, he could get a royalties of 70 Hong Kong dollars for 1,000 words. According to the current exchange rate, it is only equivalent to 20 yuan for 1,000 words.”
Liu Xinwu shook his head, "You can't calculate it like this. Hong Kong dollars are foreign exchange."
"But for us, there is no difference."
Liu Xinwu nodded, then he pulled Chen Jiangong and asked in a low voice : "Jiangong, do I really have no chance to get a manuscript from Liu Hongmin?"
Chen Jiangong shook his head, "There is not much hope. I have just said that if there are no mistakes, Hongmin will not Changing magazines.”
Liu Xinwu was a little disappointed. He really wanted to make an appointment with Liu Hongmin.
"Teacher Liu, don't think about this. Come in first and let me introduce you to my classmates from Peking University."
Chen Jiangong pulled Liu Xinwu into the living room, where Ge Chaoguang and others were sitting.
"Old Chen, long time no see!"
Ge Chaoguang and others joked.
Chen Jiangong greeted them with a smile, and then said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Teacher Liu Xinwu, the editor-in-chief of "Famous Literature"."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up and said, "Welcome, welcome."
"Teacher Liu, I like your "Class Teacher" very much."
Liu Xinwu shook hands with the group of people, While smiling bitterly in his heart.
Chen Jiangong laughed on the sidelines, watching Liu Xinwu’s excitement.
Liu Hongmin went to the kitchen to take a look, and saw this embarrassing scene when he came back. He asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Ge Chaoguang and others shook their heads, and Liu Xinwu pointed out speechlessly. Looking at Chen Jiangong, Chen Jiangong said: "Lao Ge and the others just said that they like Teacher Liu's "Class Teacher"."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Teacher Liu, don't be surprised if you don't know. They have only read your book. Please understand."
Liu Xinwu shook his head helplessly, "I'm not that stingy. It's just this guy Jiangong who wants to laugh at me all day long."
Chen Jiangong spread his hands and said, "Who told you. Do you take this matter so seriously?"
Liu Xinwu slapped his leg, "You are not careful in making friends!"
Liu Hongmin said: "Teacher Liu, do you understand Lao Chen's true face now? You should have less contact with him in the future."
Chen Jiangong retorted, "Comrade Xiao Liu, stop pretending to be a good person here. The whole thing The people in the house are the worst."
Ge Chaoguang and others agreed: "That's right. He always uses us as free labor. This capitalist always wants to exploit us."< br>
Everyone immediately started booing and attacking Liu Hongmin.
Not to be outdone, Liu Hongmin started "quarreling" with them alone.
Liu Xinwu couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Liu Hongmin, who was quarreling with other scholars. He is indeed a young man, so energetic!
