Chapter 532 President Wang Didn’t Dodge
Chapter 532 President Wang Didn’t Dodge
It’s great to be a freelancer. You can go wherever you want.
"No, the premise is not that I am a freelancer, but that I have money."
Gu Lu corrected his thoughts and traveled in China, having been healed by "To Live". His destination was Jiuzhaigou.
"President Wang, the book has been sent to my mailbox. I'm traveling and may not be able to answer your call in time." Gu Lu sent this message when he arrived at the place.
I informed my friends in advance, especially Zhou Lin, and told them to contact me in other ways. On the surface, King Guru wanted to have a peaceful vacation without being disturbed by work, but in reality...
President Wang of the New Youth Publishing House, which is thousands of miles away from Jiuzhaigou, went home early because something special happened at home today. He even went around the supermarket for a while.
When he saw Gu Lu's message, he was already carrying a bag of food back home.
After arriving home, President Wang thought about taking a look first before processing the ingredients and downloading the attachment "To Live". The internet speed was very fast and it downloaded in a flash.
At first, President Wang's eyes were full of anticipation. After all, it was Gu Lu's new work, so how could he not be looking forward to it!
"It really is the 1970s and 1980s. Professor Chen is right." President Jian was a little surprised.
Write in the first person.
First person, second person and third person all have their own advantages and disadvantages. First person is the most immersive narrative... To Live must be "I".
I have to say, Yu Hua is really considerate. Zhang Yimou's film adaptation is also considerate and not so cruel.
Starting from: "Madam, the master seems to be cooked", President Wang realized that something was wrong.
When the fruit is ripe, it can be picked; when a person is ripe, he dies.
Then my mother died.
Everyone died on the battlefield.
Jiazhen (wife) died, Fengxia died, and son-in-law (Erxi) also died.
My son Youqing died, and my grandson (Kugen) died...
Seriously speaking, President Wang is well-informed, but no matter how well-informed you are, you can't play like this!
A few years ago, he just cried when he watched Flowers for Algernon, but now——
President Wang completely forgot about preparing the ingredients.
On the other hand, in the community, the good-for-nothing boy Wang Ban has arrived with his daughter-in-law.
"Brother Ban, will we meet the parents now? Will we..." Xiaohui became nervous as she stepped past the community guard.
She was admitted to the city from the countryside, and even before that she was able to study for a master's degree, she did it by working part-time and with the help of her boyfriend.
As for my boyfriend’s family, his father was the president of a publishing house and is currently a TV planner. His grandfather was the founder of the journal “Northern Literature”. Is it okay to say that they come from a family of scholars?
The status gap is too big.
Wang Ban also realized that his girlfriend was really nervous. Usually, they called each other "Ban Ge" and "Lu Ren Hui", but they only did so when they were nervous. By the way, the latter was because his girlfriend looked like the anime character Kato Megumi.
"Don't worry, my dad - even though he likes to cheat his son, often goes out to eat good food with my mom and leaves me at home, or they go traveling without telling me, he is still very kind."
"Do you like to trick your son?" Xiaohui was curious.
"Didn't I tell you?" Wang Ban said, "When I was in college, he liked to discourage me. I told him I wanted to publish a book, and he agreed, on the condition that I surpassed the level of a high school student."
“It’s not too much…” Xiaohui seemed to understand something, and she asked, “Gu Lu when he was a high school student?” With a deep sigh, Wang Ban seemed to want to spit out all the depression he had felt before.
"It's too much to ask a college student like you to compare yourself with Gu Lu when he was a high school student." Xiao Hui said. She thought to herself that her future father-in-law was quite sinister.
That was indeed too much. Not to mention Gu Lu in high school, even Gu Lu in junior high school was beyond most writers. It felt like his father was suppressing him. Wang Ban had a deep memory of it.
“But——” Xiao Hui’s tone changed, “Uncle comparing you and Gu Lu together is a recognition of your strength!”
Huh? This angle is a bit new. Wang Ban thought about it carefully, and it was true. Can ordinary people be compared with Gu Lu? No!
The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived home. Wang knocked on the door for a while, but found no response. He thought the person must be in the kitchen, so he used his fingerprint to unlock the door himself.
"Dad, Xiaohui and I are back, you..."
Wang Ban was holding his girlfriend's hand, and before he could finish his words, he saw his father in tears.
There were obvious tear marks and bloodshot eyes, and there were many crumpled tissues on the ground.
It was basically certain that President Wang was crying his eyes out. To be honest, Wang Ban had never seen his father like this before. His mother was fine, but he was fine, could it be that...
"Dad, have you found out that there is something wrong with your body?" Wang asked semi-filially.
Xiaohui was confused when she saw her future father-in-law like this as soon as she entered the room. Then she heard what her boyfriend said - her eyes widened, she was at a loss, looked around, and awkwardly tried to find something to do, so she poured herself a glass of water.
The laughter brought President Wang back to his senses. When he came back to his senses, his first reaction was that he had not prepared the ingredients yet. "Well, I am in good health. I just saw a very good work, which was very healing, so I couldn't help but be moved."
Huh? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Dad, do people become more sentimental as they get older? If his girlfriend wasn't there, Wang Ban would definitely say something.
"Is it really so exciting?" Wang Ban managed to say.
I feel that my future father-in-law is not as sinister as my boyfriend said, he is quite emotional, Xiaohui thought to herself.
You can tell whether the food is dry or loose just by looking at your own kid's butt - this may sound a bit harsh, but President Wang probably knows what Wang Ban is thinking.
"Have you heard of Gu Lu's new work?" President Wang cleaned up the mess.
"Of course, the ads are all on DingTalk." Wang nodded. "I'm a little curious, how much does the DingTalk App splash screen ad cost? I've never seen other publishers put ads there."
"It's Gu Lu's new work, written to heal college students." President Wang said as he picked up the toilet paper on the floor. "You were once a college student, come and take a look."
"Uh - a new work?" Wang Ban came to see that it would definitely be good to be able to see Gu Lu's new work in advance.
"Xiao Hui, right?" President Wang showed a gentle smile. "Xiao Hui is a doctoral student now? That's equivalent to being a college student. This is what Gu Lu wants to encourage your creation. You and Wang Ban can read it together."
Xiao Hui was a little tempted, "No, this hasn't been released yet..."
"It's okay, it's okay, let's take a look." President Wang took out the tablet he often used.
Letting his son read the manuscript on the computer while Xiaohui used the tablet made it impossible for the two to refuse.
"Look, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the dishes." President Wang cut the vegetables and washed them so that his wife could go home and cook directly.
President Wang walked into the kitchen and called Gu Lu immediately. He wanted to know if "To Live" could be called a healing work?!
No one answered the call when I made it.
I remembered the message you sent me before, that I was going out traveling.
"I'm afraid the trip was fake, but the purpose was to avoid the phone call." President Wang put down the phone and glanced at his son and future daughter-in-law. Fortunately, someone was stabbed with him.
