Chapter 439 2 People Like You
Chapter 439 Two People Like You
In order to complete the task assigned by his superiors, the chief military officer also wanted to make a contribution, so he worked hard. But things did not go as he wished...
The four writers born in the 4s are probably in their sixties. Currently, the top writers in the literary world are also in this age group.
These four have either won the Mao Dun Literature Prize or other heavyweight awards.
"Teacher Gu Lu has a different view on the current situation of young people from other teachers, so Teacher Gu Lu suggested that we build a platform on Bilibili and hold an exchange meeting. Teacher Bai, do you have time to participate?" Director Wu's wording was very polite and his attitude was very humble.
"Oh, a discussion like the one in '锵锵三人行'? Sorry, I'm busy writing a new book recently and don't have much time."
"I'm sorry, I've been sick and in the hospital recently, so I don't have time."
"I personally wanted to discuss this with the young writer, but my house is being renovated, so it's really not appropriate."
All rejected!
Teacher Chi refused the invitation on the grounds that the kitten at home was about to give birth and the kitten could not give birth if he was not around. After the refusal, he also asked some strange questions.
"Xiao Wu, let me ask you a question. I am participating in this discussion activity. Will there be a dinner party at that time?" Teacher Chi asked.
Wu Ju answered on the phone, "Of course we will. When all the teachers come, we will definitely entertain them."
"Oh...that is, if you have a dinner party, you can give me a call. I can make time. Okay, that's it." After saying that, Teacher Chi hung up the phone.
Fuck! Not participating in the event, but thinking about having a dinner? The most outrageous thing is that the mother cat can't take the kittens to the veterinary hospital after giving birth? Wu Ju couldn't understand it, because the writers and teachers were obviously quite talkative before.
Take Mr. Dong, a post-80s writer who won the Zhuangzhongwen Literature Award, as an example. After he hung up the phone with Director Wu, a smile appeared on his lips, three parts of ridicule and five parts of indifference.
"Can you please wake up? I don't believe that you can carry out this activity." Teacher Dong thought to himself.
Just one thing, Gu Lu dared to criticize some sensitive points during the interview, would Teacher Dong dare to do so? No!
Gu Lu is a "national writer" - a writer who specializes in writing for the country. The relevant units cannot deal with Gu, but Teacher Dong is very self-aware and can deal with himself.
"Even the senior literary masters like Mr. Chi and Mr. Bai are not worried about this factor and will not argue with Gu Lu. Gu Lu can represent Chinese youth to a certain extent, and it is recognized by the country. But we cannot represent our respective age groups..."
Hey! Wait, can I get to know Mr. Gu Lu through Bilibili?
It's not about flattery or anything, it's mainly about learning from the education model that writer Gu Lu has been using since childhood, so that I can educate my own children in the same way. It's also reasonable to chat and make friends.
Teacher Dong felt that he was a little too shameless. His predecessors would definitely not do this, but as a person born in the 1980s, he was still young.
On the other hand, the chili on the plate right now is much thicker than Teacher Dong's face.
Gu Lu stretched out his chopsticks and took two bites of the spicy chicken. Ninety percent of it was spicy.
Old Xing was the youngest person at the party, so he was the one who poured drinks (Gu refused to drink) and arranged for more dishes.
As for the small path next to it, it is not yet qualified to entertain guests.
"Teacher Gu Lu, I see that you like this dish very much. Would you like another serving?" Old Xing asked immediately.
“No need,” Gu Lu saw that the other party was still preparing to hire a waiter, so he explained more clearly, “When there were a lot of chicken nuggets at the beginning, I didn’t want to take them when I could grab them with my chopsticks. When I needed to find a needle in a haystack of peppers, I wanted to see if I could find the rest. I didn’t like it much anyway.”
"A writer is a writer. What he says is very philosophical." Director Li immediately responded and praised him highly.
It was just - a little awkward. Gu Lu was just saying it casually, but the meal was almost over, so to ease the awkwardness, he took the initiative to talk about serious matters.
During the banquet, he kept waiting for the ferry district to ask him about it, but it seemed that the purpose of the meal was just to keep him company and he didn't mention it at all.
"Director Li Minghai, do you remember the surprise I mentioned when we met last time in Sijiu City?" Gu Lu said.
"Of course I remember that. Our entire ferry area is looking forward to Teacher Gu's surprise." Li Minghai responded immediately.
He was relieved. Without drinking, he couldn't figure out when to speak.
If you drink, judge by the difficulty of the situation, such as "I don't know if I can say some things", "Let's be honest", "I used to..." as signals.
Old Xing touched Xiaolu with his toes, and Xiaolu noticed that everyone at the table had put down their chopsticks and was listening attentively. Xiaolu, who was attending this kind of banquet for the first time, immediately put down his chopsticks quietly.
In fact, Gu Lu doesn’t like so many rules at all.
"During the event, I invited many voice actors and cartoonists to come and travel." Gu Lu said, "It should attract quite a few tourists."
Note the wording, it is "tourism", which means that because of the relationship between Gu Lu and the Dukou District departments, there is no need to spend any money.
It's not that Director Li is stingy. The ferry district, which has always been the poorest of the main urban area, really has no budget, and the city's finance department will not approve money unless there are concrete results.
This forms an endless cycle: to get results you have to spend money, to get money you have to get results…
"Really?" Li Minghai was a little excited.
"Of course, Fujimaki Tadashi is the manga artist of Kuroko's Basketball, and Tsukuda is the manga artist of Food Wars!. They are both very popular in China, so the public facilities and tourist facilities in the ferry area must be built well." Gu Lu reminded, "In addition..."
"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem. We have specially invited the person in charge of Hongyadong tourist facilities to give us guidance, and there will be no problem." Li Minghai stood up excitedly, "Teacher Gu Lu, thank you for your contribution to the Dukou District. We in the Dukou District will always remember you!"
Regardless of whether Director Li was sincere about the Dukou District, he went to Sijiu City alone to talk to Gu Lu for the "Little Prince Activity Day", which was a huge achievement.
"Teacher Gu doesn't drink alcohol, so I'll offer a glass of tea to Teacher Gu." Li Minghai said, and gulped down the tea in the cup.
Should I tell him that the animation production team of From the New World, Hegemony Society, is also coming to take a photo? Gu Lu looked at Li Minghai's excited expression and felt that he should slow down.
During the drinking party, Gu Lu got up to go to the bathroom. He drank too much tea.
In the box, Li Minghai was discussing with other staff members of the temporary command center.
"Old Xing, you and Xiao Zhang did a great job today. Teacher Gu Lu really likes the food here."
"We don't have as much luck as Zibo, but we have Teacher Gu Lu. We must firmly grasp this overwhelming wealth."
There are only a few upscale restaurants in Dukou District for dinner. Mr. Xing chose one with a better environment.
The hall was bustling with people, most of whom came here to ask for favors.
"Brother Hu, what do you think about my family's affairs..." Fan Xiaotian asked hurriedly when he saw the other party put down his chopsticks.
"Look, you're anxious again." Section Chief Hu drank his tea. "Did you invite me to dinner today just for this matter?"
Nonsense, what else? Such an expensive meal, how could I treat a pig like you if I didn't have something to do?
Fan Xiaotian said, "Of course not, I mainly want to chat more with Brother Hu."
"Then let's talk about something else." Section Chief Hu said, "Now the safety management in Fog City is very strict. Your case is not big, but it is not small either. It depends on how you handle it."
You don't even open the box, and you don't even bring good wine, and you want to get things done? You can't do anything. Section Chief Hu sneered inwardly.
He had a little power, so he had to use it. Otherwise, wouldn't all the hard work of studying for ten years be in vain? "Brother Hu, you know I have old people and young children to take care of." Fan Xiaotian said in a small way, "Please help me, Brother Hu. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell me directly, and I will never say no."
What good is your favor? Section Chief Hu said that he got the meal for free, but he would not help even if he was busy.
"not good……"
Section Chief Hu was interrupted by a male voice that suddenly interrupted him, "Fan Xiaotian, is that Xiaotian?"
Fan Xiaotian and Section Chief Hu turned their heads and looked at the sound of the scolding, and saw a fresh young man.
"Who are you?" Fan Xiaotian actually felt that the person looked familiar, but before he could think about it, the words had already come out of his mouth.
"I'm Gu Lu," Gu Lu said, "We were classmates in junior high school."
"Oh, Gulu!" Fan Xiaotian smiled. "Gulu, I remember you went to study in Sijiu City, right? Why are you back to Fog City?"
"There's an event in Wudu, so I asked for leave from school and came back to take a look." Gu Lu said.
"That's great. How many days will you stay? We'll have time to eat hotpot." Fan Xiaotian said.
"Hey, Xiaotian met an old classmate. You two can chat about the past. I'll leave after I'm full." Section Chief Hu said. He was very upset and thought it was rude to leave him alone.
What was even more frustrating was that he was interrupted while he was showing off. It was definitely a very frustrating moment for him to be interrupted while he was playing a game.
"I'm sorry, Brother Hu. I'm really sorry." Fan Xiaotian apologized quickly, "Brother Hu, let me introduce you to..."
"No, there's a generation gap between you and me. I won't get involved in your conversation."
A college student, haha. Section Chief Hu stood up and was about to leave.
Fan Xiaotian didn't stop him, and just watched him leave. Damn egg white, he had wasted his meal.
"Ah this..." Gu Lu asked, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, did this delay the big business?"
"What are you sorry about? It seems like Hu San didn't want to help me from the beginning." Fan Xiaotian told his problem.
One thing that can be a big or small thing is riding a bike through a red light and getting caught... then you have to pay a fine, and your motorcycle driver's license may be revoked or something.
"Don't motor vehicles get penalized for running red lights?" Gu Lu was surprised why it was so serious.
"That's why there is a strict inspection. I actually didn't know about it. There are many people who don't obey traffic regulations in the ferry area. I'm just unlucky." Fan Xiaotian showed a bitter face.
"I happen to be having dinner with some leaders from the Ferry District. I'll ask for you." Gu Lu led Fan Xiaotian back to the box.
After Gu Lu went to the box, he asked Xiaotian to tell him what had happened.
Director Li and the others looked at each other.
"Is that Hu San your real name?" Li Minghai asked.
"My real name is Hu Kou." Fan Xiaotian responded immediately.
"Director Li, I know this Hu Kou. He is from the district detachment." Old Xing said immediately.
Good man, Hu Kou is a good man, sacrificing himself to illuminate others. This is what Li Minghai thinks in his heart.
I was just worrying about not being able to find an opportunity to repay Teacher Gu Lu, and now the opportunity has come, right?
"Comrade Fan Xiaotian, don't worry. We will give you an explanation on this matter." Li Minghai promised, "We will not allow any violation of laws and discipline to occur!"
After dinner, Gu Lu did not ask Lao Xing and Xiao Lu to send him back to the hotel. Instead, he took a walk with his old classmates.
Gu Lu didn't like showing off in front of his old classmates. He hoped that his old classmates could live a smooth life.
What a pity that life is so smooth.
"No, you started to give up at the age of 22? What should I do when I'm 23 years old?" Gu Lu looked at Fan Xiaotian.
He hadn't seen his best friend Xiaotian for a long time. He couldn't remember why they had lost contact after graduation. Gu Lu would return to Fog City every year, but he never thought of meeting up. If it weren't for this opportunity, they would probably have been lying on each other's list.
While walking, Gu Lucai observed from the corner of his eye that Xiaotian's face and stomach were "swollen". Maybe he often stayed up late, so his skin was a little oily even though he was so young.
“If you don’t give up when you are young, do you have to wait until you are old and in poor health to start giving up? Enjoy life while you can, this is my motto.” Fan Xiaotian’s current job is a food delivery boy.
It’s not that the delivery boy’s job is bad, it’s just that Fan Xiaotian’s work attitude is like working for three days and drying the net for two days.
Now Gu Lu and Fan Xiaotian meet again after several years, but their relationship is no longer such that they can say whatever they want.
"Have you found a girlfriend?" Gu Lu changed the subject.
"I dated someone before, but we broke up because our personalities were not compatible." Fan Xiaotian seemed reluctant to mention his ordinary life in front of this successful person.
"You must have a lot of girlfriends, Brother Gu, a great writer like you." Fan Xiaotian said, "In our school, there were two girls who liked you. You were popular in junior high school."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Gu Lu stopped him, "Two people like me? Is this true? Who is with whom?"
In fact, Gu Lu had almost forgotten the names of his junior high school classmates.
"What's her name... the cute one is called Zhao Juan. And Zhou Lin, these two like you." Fan Xiaotian said, "Don't you know?"
I know nothing. But when he heard that Zhou Lin had a crush on him since junior high school, Gu Lu was very happy.
"Who told you that?" Gu Lu asked.
"Need I say this? Go back and look at the birthday present Zhao Juan gave you. Also, Chen Xue took the school uniform and asked Zhang Yudong to sign it for her, where the school badge should be. I asked Chen Xue at the time, the school badge is on the left chest, so signing in that place is closest to the heart." Fan Xiaotian said, "Did Zhao Juan ask you to sign in that place?"
"It seems so..." In fact, Gu Lu was more concerned about the girl with super strength.
As for Zhao Juan, her impression is that of a little kid who is in love too early and an idealistic good person.
"Then what?" Gu Lu saw Xiaotian stopped talking and couldn't help but ask.
"Then, oh? You're talking about Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin chased you and was admitted to No. 8 Middle School. Damn, it was like a Saiyan's burst. Based on her previous grades, she would definitely not have been admitted. If this is not love, I would rather eat cabbage." Fan Xiaotian said.
"That makes sense." Gu Lu responded perfunctorily, because he knew that the girl with super strength was admitted to No. 8 Middle School in order to get Zhou's father to pay more attention to her.
The two chatted about their student days, but other than that, Fan Xiaotian was very evasive.
Suddenly, Fan Xiaotian said, "Brother Gu, do you want to go to the fat boss?"
