Chapter 263 Big Bosses Gathered
Li Yan arrived at the 12th floor of the hotel amidst Comrade Alpha’s praises as a “young talent.”
In contrast to the trendy and modern appearance of the building, the interior decoration focuses on classical luxury.
Li Yan thought it would be an elegant and frigid style, but she didn’t expect that even the carpet had complicated patterns.
The lamps in the corridor also have bronze bases. The house numbers have a British style and are made of heavy mahogany. The carvings on them are obviously Chinese style.
Hodgepodge.
Anyway, guests are told everywhere that this hotel is very rich.
What makes Li Yan speechless is that the decoration in the room is very modern.
Large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, cold black window frames, simple furniture design...
In short, it can be said to have touched the hearts of those rich and powerful middle-aged people. Look upstairs The clothes are high-end, the entrance is distinguished, the corridors are elegant and beautiful, and the rooms are simple and elegant.
The area is very large. In addition to the common bed and TV cabinet configurations, it is also equipped with a desk with a lamp, a noble and elegant red velvet chair with a large backrest, and a recliner, and even a large elastic chair. ball.
Li Yan has never stayed in a hotel above three stars in her previous life, and there are some things she really doesn’t understand.
All kinds of small items are very complete, even small toothpastes are provided with three brands, and there are even a few bags for clothes-who stays in a hotel and does laundry.
After Li Yan put away her suitcase, she couldn't wait to walk to the floor-to-ceiling window and completely opened the heavy curtains.
Unfortunately, the floor is not high enough and there is no river next to it.
But it's interesting to be able to observe a strange city.
On the desk are hotel business instructions, as well as several very exquisitely made "meal tickets."
Li Yan was lying on the bed, flipping through the conference agenda materials.
"It's also interesting...the list of guests attending the conference also uses pseudonyms." Li Yan smiled.
Su Siqing and Zou Yang, chairman of the Linjiang Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, are indeed here. Judging from the ranking of guests, they are quite good.
But the cards are limited.
The standards of this conference were much higher than Li Yan expected.
The competent departments and mass organizations of the cultural industry in Shangjing have come to have many management members, including the deputy director of the Shangjing Propaganda Department, the deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, the chairman of the Shangjing Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the chairman of the Writers Association.
Shangjing is a municipality directly under the Central Government, so we should pay enough attention to it.
A few people from local media, radio and television bureaus, writers associations, and federations of literary and art circles also came here, probably based on their relevance.
For example, Zou Yang came here because Li Yan won the first prize.
This publishing joint summit, in addition to awarding awards, is actually a conference for mutually beneficial business cooperation.
Therefore, there were also a large number of people from the business community. The general managers and editors-in-chief of the four major publishing houses all appeared.
The relationship between Shangjing Literature and Art and Shangjing Propaganda Department is very close. Minister Mo, who is at the top of the guest list this time, is probably here to give Shangjing Literature and Art some face.
Huada Publishing House naturally invited the leaders of Huada, but for some unknown reason, only the dean of the School of Liberal Arts came, and the school leaders did not attend.
Supernova Publishing itself is a public institution. Among all the people who have come to the publishing house, their president Ma is the most important one. The man who presides over the editing of "Hua Xia Encyclopedia" has a very high status in the publishing industry.
But the most noteworthy thing is actually Huaxin Publishing House...the Huaxin Group behind it.
The largest comprehensive enterprise group in China, the existence of giant.
The general manager from Huaxin Publishing House is a newbie in the industry, but Huaxin Group itself sent a deputy general manager, which can be regarded as an expression of great importance.
What’s even more exciting is that Huacai Group, which provides sponsorship and hotel support, also has a deputy general manager.
Although you can tell by looking at their names, except for the four major publishing houses themselves, these units basically send people with the smallest positions in the management.
But they were sent here, and they represented the Big Macs themselves at this meeting.
“No wonder the conditions are so good...the specifications are quite high.”
The most interesting thing is that one of the founding team members of Origin Chinese Network is also here.
The ranking is relatively low. Obviously, traditional published literature is still very unpopular with online literature.
There were various cultural celebrities, famous writers, commentators, etc. behind them. Li Yan actually didn’t recognize many of them, so he just went through them hastily.
Although in the "Writer" column, Su Siqing, who has the bonus of "scholar" status, ranks second, only the great writer Kong Liyan, who has more achievements than him, is qualified to rank first.
But these two are probably not qualified to sit in the first row.
After reading the list, Li Yan understood why they were required to arrive before 14:00 for the welcome dinner that only started at 17:00 in the afternoon.
On the one hand, for high-standard conferences, sufficient buffer should be left.
Omissions are absolutely unacceptable to both the organizer and the hotel.
On the other hand, with so many big bosses here, they naturally have to leave plenty of space for them to communicate privately.
But this has nothing to do with Li Yan.
This group of big guys may only appear at tonight's dinner and tomorrow afternoon's awards ceremony, such as the joint exhibition of 10 years of achievements tomorrow morning, the publication negotiation tomorrow night, and the leap Dragon Boat Festival the day after tomorrow - I really want to Try your best to organize programs - ancient city tours and farewell banquets, but the leaders may not attend.
Writers talk about themselves with the publishing house, and leaders may change the venue to talk about theirs.
He charged his cell phone and went to the window to look at the scenery for a while. Decided to go downstairs for a walk first.
I can’t hold back my burning pretense spirit!
I took my meal ticket and entered the elevator. There were quite a few people going downstairs.
Business at the Jinghua Hotel is usually very good. This time, it made room for conference participants, but there were still many other guests.
For example, the family in the elevator right now.
Only two floors down, someone else wanted to come in. The elevator was quite full. The man opposite who was wearing a close-fitting blue shirt and was listening on the phone was stunned for a while, but he entered the elevator directly.
Then I heard him anxiously communicating with the person on the other side of the phone: "I just confirmed it with the leader of the Education Department. His name is Li Yan, and he is really 1.8 meters tall. He said it himself. I won the first prize, right? Someone from our Linjiang area did win the first prize, called Fenda. I know your concerns. You don’t need to tell me on the phone. I’ll go down and see for myself.”
Li Yan. Make a quick judgment, stay calm, and wait for the hot-tempered middle-aged man to take a few steps out of the elevator -
"Chairman Zou?"
"Eh?" The man looked back and his expression changed rapidly, "You..."
"I am Li Yan from New Taipei No. 1 Middle School."
Zou Yang's hair was only a little longer than a short hair. His short hair is already slightly gray, and there is nothing memorable about his appearance or figure. If I must say, it is a rare feature for a middle-aged person to not have a beer belly.
After hearing what Li Yan said, his puzzled expression instantly turned into a smile, and he decisively stretched out his hand to hold it firmly.
With such thick palms, it looks like someone doing farm work is actually the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
"Oh," Zou Yang's voice was naturally a little hoarse, "I have heard of your name. You are the most popular junior high school student in Linjiang. You got perfect scores in all subjects and published your works in Linjiang Literary Weekly. Unexpectedly, You can also write mystery novels!"
"Thank you, Chairman Zou, for your compliment."
"You have made a name for yourself in the Linjiang literary world this time." Zou Yang shot. Patting Li Yan on the shoulder, "Teacher Su Siqing Su is also here to attend the meeting this time. You must have heard of it, right?"
Not only heard of it, she is here as a pen pal.
Still very sympathetic to each other.
"I've heard of it. He's very insightful about literature and has a lot of affection for cultural inheritance. I've read both "Research on South China Culture" and "The Remaining Sound of Ancient Architecture"."
"Good boy," Zou Yang said very happily , "To tell you the truth, I came here this time just because of you."
"Oh? Like this?" Li Yan pretended to be stupid.
“Long Tang of the Provincial Department of Culture told me that he knew Supernova’s President Ma and talked about the address of the first prize winner in New Taipei. When I heard this, I directly said that we would do it no matter what. Someone needs to come. In fact, we here in Linjiang mostly cooperate with publishing houses in the south. This summit has little to do with us. You are the link."
Li Yan is really embarrassed. , "This, I'm honored, I'm honored."
"Linjiang really gave birth to a baby," Zou Yang laughed, "I really never thought it would be you. Today the hotel told the organizing committee that there was a minor, and I immediately thought of you."
There is a lot of polite words, and there is something really good about his words.
Li Yan was thinking about another thing entirely. He was wondering whether he should confess to Su Siqing.
"I am Yushi Yumeng and Tang Fei, and especially the author of "Nangong Boy", the ultimate three-in-one."
However, Zou Yang's statement quickly dispelled him I thought, "Let's have dinner together tonight. I don't know many people here."
"Are you following Mr. Su?"
"He's a charlatan. He was chatting all the way when he came here, but he stopped seeing people when he got to the hotel. He doesn't know how to eat this kind of buffet. He's so healthy. Very, I’m afraid I’ll go out and find an authentic shop to eat.”
It’s very consistent with the image of Su Siqing in Li Yan’s imagination, and it’s something he can do.
“It’s really very personal.”
“This is my business card. If there is no seat arrangement tonight, just take one. By the way, what are you going to do here?”
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Li Yan always felt that Zou Yang's eyes were... a bit kind.
Just like a father looking after his son.
Damn it, I’m treated like a son every day.
There are also those who watch it as a grandson.
Although everyone means "I only hate those who are not my children/grandchildren"...forget it, even if I am 24 years old, I am still a junior in front of this group of people in their 40s and 50s.
"I... was bored in the hotel room, so I came down for a walk."
"Okay, then you can go shopping, I have some people I want to meet over there." Zou Yang returned to the elevator in a hurry.
It seems that the leaders do have their own social activities to be busy with.
The second floor of the hotel is actually a small shopping mall with a hollow atrium and the lobby on the lower floor.
Let's just go shopping in the mall. Li Yan turned around and went up the escalator.
Over there, Comrade Alpha, who was sweating with anxiety, had just led the receptionist to look through the guest registration information form in the secret room, but he still didn't wait until the impatient distinguished guest arrived.
He looked at the word "Li Yan" on the list and was confused.
The little girl next to him smiled and said, "Minister, do you think this guy looks like the protagonist of the story?"
"Call him a young talent." Minister Alpha was very serious.
