Chapter 93: You want me, but you don’t want this son-in-law (please vote)
“Xiao Cheng, do you come to the symposium, does your father-in-law and mother-in-law know?”
The flesh on Lao Qian's face twitched violently a few times, and he couldn't directly point it out to this silly boy, so he could only ask in a roundabout way.
It’s true that Lao Feng and his wife didn’t explain anything before going out today?
But I can understand it!
Who would have thought that their son-in-law would be so stupid. They were just being polite, but they really took their stupid son-in-law seriously!
Braving such heavy snow, riding a bicycle to rush here, my whole face was almost purple eggplant color from the cold.
"You know! Before they went out, they told me not to be late!"
How could Cheng Xuemin know Lao Qian's mentality? He jumped out of the car, pushed him and walked side by side with Lao Qian, and replied!
“I knew you were still allowed to come?”
"You still told me not to be late?! Your father-in-law and mother-in-law really said that?"
Lao Qian was dumbfounded again when he heard this. It's okay for a fool's son-in-law to be ignorant. How can he be so ignorant when he is the mother-in-law?
Li Qingquan was obviously polite that day, but did you really take it seriously? The whole family went out?
Li Qingquan is not treating guests to dinner, but holding a symposium! If you are not well-known in the industry, who has the qualifications to come here?
The old Feng family was lucky. Not only did they let their son-in-law come over, they also specifically told them not to be late!
What do they think?
Do you really think Li Qingquan’s Yanjing Literature invited you to a restaurant for a feast?
"Mr. Qian, how can this be true or false!? It's windy and snowy outside, let's go in and warm up first!"
"There seems to be heating here at Yanjing Literature, right?"
Cheng Xuemin didn't take Lao Qian's doubts seriously, and now he just wanted to get into Yanjing Literature. It was really cold outside!
"There should be heating, right? Yanjing Literature is part of the Cultural Affairs Bureau compound. They are all courtyards of large institutions, and they all have central heating!"
Lao Qian nodded and took two steps faster!
In the late 1970s, central heating was not widely available in residential buildings in Yanjing City, but there was heating!
However, the heating targets are all large government units, as well as the courtyards of large government agencies, or some apartment buildings close to large institutions.
For example, ordinary residential buildings, courtyards, courtyards, and tube buildings rarely have heating!
The courtyard house where Cheng Xuemin lives now, owned by Mr. Qian, has no heating.
This is why Cheng Xuemin and his wife, Feng Jiayou, wanted to buy a house with better conditions.
At least it has heating in the winter and no need to empty the chamber pot in the summer, so it’s perfect!
"Old money, old money, here, here?! I'm really worried about the heavy snow, and you won't come if you don't give me face!"
Seeing Lao Qian appear at the gate of the compound, Li Qingquan's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to compliment him.
"I promise you, don't talk about this bit of snow, even if it's a knife, I'll do it!" Lao Qian glanced at Li Qingquan angrily, this kid just likes to toss!
You just have to tell me clearly what the surprise is, why did he run over unimpeded by the wind and snow to praise Li Qingquan?
Then he also asked: "Has the author of "The Wrangler" arrived?! Has Ding Ling arrived?! Don't you kid tell me that none of them came and the symposium has been cancelled!"
"It's coming, it's coming! You'd better go inside and warm yourself up first!" Li Qingquan said quickly and flatteringly.
In fact, this is really a true god. In the past, even "People's Literature" might not be able to invite him.
Who would have thought that this time he, Li Qingquan, was provoking him so much that he actually came!
Surprise, surprise, and excitement!
"That's good!" Lao Qian nodded and turned around to explain to Li Qingquan, "The son-in-law of the old Feng family..."
"We know each other, Xuemin, you came here with Lao Qian, right? You're not freezing, right? Come in and warm yourself up. It's rare for us to have central heating here!"
While talking, Li Qingquan greeted Cheng Xuemin again, showing concern!
"Well……"
Lao Qian was a little confused, and he had to ask Li Qingquan to arrange an inconspicuous position for the son-in-law of Lao Feng's family. Don't let Lao Feng and the others be too conspicuous!
But who knows!
Li Qingquan, an old boy, seemed to greet the old Feng family's son-in-law more enthusiastically than he greeted him.
If you want to explain the old money you made later, there is no way to go on!
"Old Qian, Xuemin, our symposium is in the conference room on the second floor! Why don't you come to my office first? Teacher Ding is already here!"
Li Qingquan followed the greeting and said.
"You just make the arrangements, but I want to see what you kid is up to!"
Lao Qian nodded, and Li Qingquan could arrange it as he pleased!
Later, he seemed to remember it again, and asked, "Aren't Lao Feng and Teacher Gu here yet? Do they know that their son-in-law is here?"
"This is what Lao Qian is like. Lao Feng's Chinese literature comes from Lao Yang, and Lao Feng's side happens to be unable to get away from it!"
"On Teacher Gu's "October" side, only Lao Liu came over. Teacher Gu really didn't give me Li Qingquan face, so he didn't come!"
Li Qingquan smiled bitterly. He was originally waiting to give her Gu Xueqing a big surprise!
Who knew!
None of them came, but their "Wrangler" son-in-law came!
"Both of them didn't come?!"
Lao Qian was completely dumbfounded when he heard this, and said anxiously, "We met this morning, and they didn't say they wouldn't come today?"
"He even urged me to come here, reminding me not to be late!"
"These... old Feng family couple, who are they?"
Originally, Lao Qian's speech had been written, and he had to criticize it more deeply at the symposium in front of Lao Feng and his family.
But who knows, the audience didn't come, so why is he still criticizing me? !
Should he continue to criticize this kind of thankless manuscript that made his host unhappy?
"Haha! It's okay, it's okay! If you have old money, it's fun to come! If their scholars come, it'll be fine!"
Li Qingquan thought that it was a good thing that the two of them were not here, so that they could hide the fact that their son-in-law was Lao Xu, the author of Wrangler.
As long as you secure your old money today and don't talk nonsense to them when you go back, everything will be fine!
"It's not interesting enough, Lao Feng and the others are not interesting enough! If I had known they wouldn't come, why would I rush to your Li Qingquan place so early in the morning?!"
Lao Qian shook his head and kept talking, not afraid that Li Qingquan would be unhappy after hearing this. He had the capital and confidence.
If Li Qingquan dares to say that he is unhappy, try it!
"Scared! Mr. Qian, are you really here?! I also said that Mr. Li was bragging and deceiving us!"
Entering Li Qingquan's office, October's Liu Xinwu was the first to see it. He couldn't help but stand up and greeted Lao Qian warmly.
"Old Qian, long time no see, I didn't expect you to come too!"
Ding Ling, who was sitting there, also stood up and greeted his old friend with a smile.
"Hello, Xiao Liu! I heard that you and Teacher Gu made an atomic bomb and wanted to blow it up for us, right?"
Lao Qian came in and joked with Liu Xinwu first. "Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. Qian, you are joking!" Liu Xinwu waved his hands quickly and said.
Lao Qian narrowed his eyes and stopped talking to him. He nodded to Ding Ling and said with a sigh: "Li Qingquan said before that you would come too. I was really surprised!"
"I didn't expect you Ding Ling... to still be so unconventional. Just come back. Just come back!"
What Lao Qian said about not taking the usual path should be referring to today's symposium. An article written by a new author actually alerted her to Ding Ling coming over in person to participate.
"Lao Qian, aren't you here too!"
Ding Ling glanced at Lao Qian, with an expression on his face as well, and stepped aside and said, "Old Qian, please sit here!"
"Xiao Cheng, come here, sit here with me! Why are you frozen like this? Your face is all bruised!"
Farewell to Lao Qian, Ding Ling became enthusiastic again and greeted Cheng Xuemin.
"Hello, Teacher Ding, hello, Teacher Liu!"
Cheng Xuemin also quickly followed Lao Qian and greeted the two of them.
"Why, Xuemin, do you, Teacher Ding, and Lao Liu know each other?!"
Ding Ling directly greeted Cheng Xuemin without waiting for his introduction. And Cheng Xuemin also followed not only to say hello to Ding Ling, but also to Liu Xinwu!
What's going on?
Li Qingquan, who was preparing to introduce him next to him, was dumbfounded and confused!
Even Lao Qian was very surprised. He looked at Ding Ling and asked, "What? Ding Ling, do you also know Teacher Gu's son-in-law? I was about to introduce him to you!"
The fact that Ding Ling knew Lao Feng's son-in-law really surprised Lao Qian. After all, Ding Ling had just returned to Beijing not long ago and was living in seclusion without communicating with the outside world.
After returning, in addition to voicing Li Qingquan's "Wrangler", today is also her first public appearance since her comeback.
Generally speaking, one would definitely not know the son-in-law of Gu Xueqing and Mr. Feng!
After all, the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Lao Feng is not only naive and stupid, but also has no outstanding features. How can he be recognized by Ding Ling?
“No! Mr. Qian, whose son-in-law did you just say that Xiao Cheng was?”
"Teacher Gu? Which Teacher Gu?!"
Unexpectedly, Lao Qian asked Ding Ling this question. Before Ding Ling could answer, Liu Xinwu next to him said, "Fuck" and asked with extreme horror.
"Which Teacher Gu?! How many Teacher Gus do you have in "October"?! How many Teacher Gus does your Xiao Liu know?"
"Xiao Cheng, Lao Feng's son-in-law just came to our door! Don't you, Liu Xinwu, know about it? You shouldn't, right?"
Lao Qian sat down on his butt and glanced at Liu Xinwu angrily, "Who is Mr. Gu? How many Mr. Gu do you know?"
They all know Ding Ling who just came back, but you don’t know Liu Xinwu from October, how can you be a partner? !
"Oh! Xiaocheng, are you Teacher Gu's son-in-law? Her family's young lover?!"
Liu Xinwu slapped his thigh directly and asked with a confused and horrified expression.
"Teacher Liu...my mother didn't come with you today?!"
OK!
Cheng Xuemin asked this question and directly admitted that he was Teacher Gu Xueqing's son-in-law!
"No, are you really Teacher Gu's son-in-law?!"
"You, you, you...then you...give the "Wrangler" to Lao Li, but not your mother-in-law's "October"?"
It was really Teacher Gu's son-in-law. Liu Xinwu was not calm on the spot and became resentful!
What the hell is going on?
Teacher Gu and her son-in-law wrote the manuscript of "The Herdsman", but they didn't submit it to his mother-in-law's "October", which was Liu Xinwu's "October", but instead submitted it to Lao Li's "Yenjing Literature"?
No wonder!
Liu Xinwu finally realized why Li Qingquan called him out of nowhere that day to thank him for his kindness.
That’s why we co-authored it!
The son-in-law of their "October" magazine did not contribute to him, but instead gave him Li Qingquan a star. It is strange that he, Li Qingquan, is so talented!
"Ahem, Teacher Liu's question is too sharp... I, I, I... what my parents and I were thinking about at that time was to get the manuscript finished as soon as possible and get the royalties as soon as possible!"
"At that time, Teacher Liu, you had a manuscript stuck in your hands. We just...that's...Teacher Liu, you should understand, right?"
Cheng Xuemin sat upright, so embarrassed that he didn't know how to argue!
"Hi! I know it, I know it! We should have published the manuscript that your family wrote earlier!"
Liu Xinwu regretted that in the end, she still had her initial worries. Teacher Gu had strict requirements on her daughter, and it was reported that their October manuscript requirements were too high.
Not only did she scare away the new author from her daughter's school, Yanda, but now I know that even Teacher Gu and her own son-in-law were scared away!
Any son-in-law would be scared away by his mother-in-law, and instead switch to Li Qingquan’s Yenching Literature!
This, this, this...it’s okay if you don’t want this son-in-law!
Fortunately, he is not Liu Xinwu's son-in-law, otherwise I would really break his legs, which would be a huge disaster!
"No, Xiaocheng, you are Teacher Gu's son-in-law?! That day... why didn't you introduce me to Mr. Mao?!"
Ding Ling was equally surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the author of "Wrangler" Lao Xu, who was taken to the ministry by Teacher Gu that day, Xiao Cheng in front of him, turned out to be Teacher Gu's son-in-law!
That day, Teacher Gu was so calm that he didn't even mention it to them.
"This... Teacher Ding, you didn't ask about it at that time. My mother wanted to avoid suspicion, so she couldn't tell everyone!"
On the way here, Cheng Xuemin had already expected such a situation and had made plans. His mother-in-law also knew what was going to happen today, and she definitely couldn't hide it!
"This Teacher Gu! You don't avoid relatives when you promote talents, why should you avoid suspicion without avoiding suspicion!"
"However, Teacher Gu did recruit a good son-in-law!"
Ding Ling smiled and shook his head. The following words were said to Lao Qian!
"Xiao Cheng is indeed pretty good, but he's just a little..." Lao Qian was already stupid. He looked at Cheng Xuemin in astonishment and speechless. Listening to Ding Ling talking to him, he nodded subconsciously. To say it, he was a little stupid.
But he quickly came to his senses and asked, "No, Ding Ling, please don't tell me that Li Qingquan's "Wrangler" was written by Xiao Cheng?!"
"Teacher Gu and her son-in-law wrote "The Wrangler", is it real or fake?"
"Xiao Cheng, did you write this Wrangler?"
Lao Qian completely lost his composure and asked Ding Ling, Li Qingquan and Cheng Xuemin several times.
