After the meeting, Wu Changxin took Yu Dong to his office to chat for a while, mainly caring about his personal life.
"The new dormitory is being built. When it is completed, you and Yanqiu can also share one."
"It's not urgent. Let's consider other teachers who are more in need first."
Wu Changxin said with a smile: "This is not the time to show off your style. Don't worry. The dormitory plan this time is very comprehensive. Everything that needs to be solved can be solved. Allocating housing to you is not for personal gain, but in accordance with the school rules and regulations.
of."
"Okay, I understand."
Wu Changxin nodded with a smile. He and Cheng Liye have known each other for many years and have always had a good relationship. Now that Yu Dong has become Cheng Liye's son-in-law, their relationship has become even closer.
However, Wu Changxin was also a little worried. After all, Cheng Liye was the deputy dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Jinling University. If he came to poach Yu Dong, it would be really troublesome.
Fortunately, Cheng Yanqiu is also in Jinyi.
"By the way, I heard from Su Tong that you were going to write an essay on the cucumber garden. This is a good thing. Why didn't you tell me?"
Yu Dong explained, "The matter hasn't been decided yet, so I can't tell you in advance. We have discussed that we will report to you after Yu Hua's manuscript has been approved by "Zhongshan"."
"It's not about reporting work. It's your own private matter. Let's talk about this matter together, not as a superior or a subordinate. I'm purely a friend or a reader who wants to know more about this matter."
"Actually, the main thing in this matter is that Yu Hua is carrying the banner, and I'm following behind to collect the heads."
"So, it's useful for me to invite Yu Hua to come over. Of course, you also played a role in this. I know that if you and Feiyu weren't here, Yu Hua might not come over, at least not at all.
You agreed so readily. When I chatted with your father-in-law last time, he also mentioned this matter. Their Jinling University also has the idea of ​​signing a writer-in-residence, but they are still hesitant. I estimate that after "Essays on the Cucumber Garden" comes out, they will let them
They are determined."
Speaking of inviting Yu Hua, Wu Changxin was quite proud.
He has made great strides in the past two years, but so far, it seems that every step he has taken is correct. Including the re-establishment of the Department of Drama, which has only been established for a year and a half, it has begun to take shape, and the entire major has begun to take shape.
My spirit from top to bottom is very good.
Moreover, the news about buying a script last time also gave them some reputation as a drama creator.
The two chatted for a while, and then Yu Dong left the principal's office.
After returning to the main office, Bi Feiyu told Yu Dong that Yu Hua's manuscript had been passed and would be published in March. What Su Tong meant was that Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu should take advantage of this period to write the manuscript.
Write one article for each, and it will be able to be combined into one column when the time comes, which will be more effective.
"I'm already writing my article. I think I'll finish it in the next two days. Now it's up to you."
"I'll wait until I finish writing the novel I'm working on. It should be in time."
"Here you have some snacks."
"It's all about your heart." Yu Dong smiled and said, "Didn't I say that for me, writing essays is as easy as eating and drinking?"
"Blow, blow hard." Bi Feiyu pursed his lips and said, "Let's go to the poetry reading club later."
"Why, I haven't heard anyone flatter you in the past two days. Do you feel uncomfortable all over?"
"Tacky, I just want to care about the cultural activities of the students."
"Okay, let's go there together later..."
While the two were talking, Hu Changqing walked in and waved to them, "You two happen to be here, come to my office."
"Am I going too?" Bi Feiyu asked in surprise, because Hu Changqing usually came to Yu Dong.
"That's right, come together."
The two looked at each other and followed.
Since Hu Changqing made money writing science fiction novels, his mentality has calmed down a lot. Now he has a lot of flowers and plants in his office, and he also got two small gourds that he usually plays with in his hands when he has nothing to do.
This is winter. If it comes to summer, all these flowers and plants will be in bloom, and entering his office will feel like entering a garden.
"Come, drink tea."
Hu Changqing poured a cup of tea for Yu Dong and Bi Feiyu, and then crossed his legs leisurely, as if he was not in a hurry to get down to business.
"There are no difficulties at work during this period, right?"
Yu Dong was relatively familiar with Hu Changqing, so he said directly: "Old Hu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Your demeanor makes the two of us quite nervous."
"Are you still nervous?" Hu Changqing laughed, "I just want to ask your opinion on something. The communication room has been responding to us, and the media outside the school are becoming more and more enthusiastic. Their target is you.
Two, but we have never arranged any interviews here, that is, the last time "Yangtze Evening News" came over and did an exclusive interview."
"You mean, arrange an interview for us?" Yu Dong asked.
Hu Changqing waved his hand, "This is not the point. Whether you accept the interview or not depends entirely on your personal wishes. The school will not interfere. The problem now is that there must be a department in charge of the interview. The communication room will handle it.
The problem was fed back to the Security Department, which in turn fed the problem back to the Propaganda Department of our Youth League Committee, but my colleagues in the Propaganda Department of the Youth League Committee each have their own affairs, and the work is not easy to divide, so I cannot be asked to handle it personally every time."
"so……"
"So I want to allocate people from various departments to form a team specifically responsible for connecting you with the media outside the school. Regarding the specific work of this team, I want to hear your opinions. In addition, I want to bring Fu Jing to this team.
Yu, as a family member, you can also share your views."
Yu Dong spoke first, "That's good. Even without us, as the Internet develops in the future, the external news department will be indispensable. As for specific work, Feiyu and I don't have much experience, so why not hire one?"
Professional journalists come here to provide business guidance."
Hu Changqing immediately smiled and said: "This is a good idea. How about Shao Tianjun from "Yangtze Evening News"? You are familiar with him. Can you help me make an appointment?"
Yu Dong was stunned. How could Lao Hu react so quickly? As soon as he said these words, he thought of Shao Tianjun without any hesitation. Why did he seem to be deliberately setting a trap for him?
It seems that Lao Hu is still Lao Hu. He likes to talk in a roundabout way. He has to wait for others to speak first when he has clearly thought about things.
But this is not a difficult task. Yu Dong nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will make an appointment for you later."
"Then I'll trouble you." Hu Changqing smiled and asked Bi Feiyu: "Feiyu, what do you think about Fu Jing?"
Bi Feiyu scratched his head, "I can't make the final decision on her matters."
Yu Dong couldn't help but give Bi Feiyu a little finger sign. This guy usually brags more cheerfully than anyone else, and he also admits defeat faster than anyone else when things get tough.
"It's okay. I know your attitude. I'll do the work on Xiaofu's side. After our group is formed, if you are willing to accept media interviews, just contact the group directly. They will help arrange it. I will take care of things later.
Report to him, I will definitely use the lecture hall in the future."
Bi Feiyu didn't hear the underlying meaning in Lao Hu's words, but Yu Dong sensed it. Lao Hu was hinting that they should conduct some interviews as soon as possible so that the newly established group could get up and running quickly.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble the Youth League committee later."
…
More than a week later, the Youth League Committee's external news team was formally established with the assistance of Shao Tianjun.
Yu Dong and the others were quite interesting. As soon as the group was established, they did some work for them. Yu Dong, Bi Feiyu, and Yu Hua each accepted exclusive interviews from a newspaper.
Fu Jing and the others were busy contacting the newspaper, arranging the venue, and designing the interview process.
In fact, they are all personal interviews, and there are no special arrangements. However, the external news team attaches great importance to this event. As the first stop after the formation of the team, they certainly hope to have a good performance.
…
When Ma Xiaohong walked to the gate of Jinyi, she breathed a long sigh of relief. She did not expect that the task of coming to interview Yu Dong would eventually fall on her.
She just started working this year and has only been working for half a year now. She is a real rookie reporter.
But it's the end of the year, and their "Xinmin Evening News" is really busy. Even the editor-in-chief has been tasked with interviews recently, and this time Jin Yi's notification of arranging interviews was quite sudden, leaving them with no manpower available. There is no way,
We could only send Ma Xiaohong over.
Ma Xiaohong has also done many outings, but this time she was going to face Dong Dong, and she was still very nervous.
"Uncle, I am a reporter from Xinmin Evening News. My name is Ma Xiaohong. I made an appointment with the school for an interview."
Ma Xiaohong walked to the reception room and showed her work ID to the guard.
Uncle Zhou was quite surprised when he saw a little girl coming.
"Wait a moment while I look at the notice."
Uncle Zhou found the interview form given by the Youth League Committee and indeed found "Xinmin Evening News". He said with a smile: "Yes, I made an appointment today, and I am still interviewing Teacher Yu."
"That's right, that's right, I'm interviewing Teacher Yu." Ma Xiaohong nodded repeatedly.
"Although we have an appointment, we still have to register according to the rules."
"Ok, no problem."
When Ma Xiaohong lowered her head to register, Qu Aiguo came out of the school. Uncle Zhou smiled and asked, "Xiao Qu, where are you going?"
"Go get some copies of "Science Fiction World"," Qu Aiguo said.
"Didn't you ask the boss to deliver it? Why don't you make a trip?"
Qu Aiguo waved his hand, "Hey, the boss is probably busy right now and doesn't have time to deliver them. I just have time, so I'll go get two copies and go back to take a look."
After Qu Aiguo left, Uncle Zhou said to Ma Xiaohong: "Didn't you interview Teacher Yu? This was Teacher Yu's student just now. He is also the president of the school's science fiction association."
"Really?" Ma Xiaohong said with surprise: "Is it the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association?"
"Yes, there is only one science fiction association in our school." Uncle Zhou looked at the registration book and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go in. Going around the building in front is the Government Affairs Building. I'll see you when you get in.
People can just ask where the Propaganda Department of the Youth League Committee is."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Ma Xiaohong carried her bag into the school, but did not rush to find the Propaganda Department of the Youth League Committee. Instead, she took a few photos in front of the big stone in front of the library, then waited for a while, and finally waited for Qu Aiguo who came back with the magazine.
.
"Hello, classmate."
Qu Aiguo was flipping through a magazine intently when a little girl suddenly jumped out and startled him.
If Ma Xiaohong hadn't been so beautiful, he could have breathed the magazine into people's faces.
"Girl, you can't be so scary in broad daylight." Qu Aiguo stared at Ma Xiaohong. Although she was very young, she had a camera hanging around her neck, so she was not a student at the school.
"Are you a reporter?"
"Yes, I am Ma Xiaohong, a reporter from Xinmin Evening News."
"Oh." Qu Aiguo patted his head, "You are looking for Brother Dong, right? His office is in the government affairs building at the back."
"Don't worry, classmate, I heard from the guard that you are the president of the Cucumber Garden Science Fiction Association. Can I waste some of your time and ask you a few questions?"
When he heard that he was about to ask a question, Qu Aiguo put his hands behind his back and said pretentiously: "Actually, our association also has association rules. Normally, if you want to interview me, you need to contact our publicity department first."
"Ah?" Ma Xiaohong was stunned. Isn't the Cucumber Garden Association a student organization? It is so strict?
"Of course, it's not easy for you as a little girl in this winter, so I'll make an exception for you. I'm willing to accept your interview. In this way, if you can't arrange a good venue at the moment, you can go to the base camp of our association.
"
Ma Xiaohong wanted to explain something, but she heard Qu Aiguo say: "I will give you a good introduction to our association when you go, and I know Teacher Dong very well. It can be said that he himself doesn't know him as well as I do."
"Oh well……"
In this way, Ma Xiaohong followed Qu Aiguo to the Science Fiction Association activity classroom in a daze.
When he arrived at the activity room, Qu Aiguo distributed the magazine to several members present, then found a table and sat face to face with Ma Xiaohong.
"Reporter Ma, should we check the manuscript first, or should we start directly?"
"Let's get started..."
Ma Xiaohong didn't know why the situation turned into this. She originally only wanted to ask a few questions, but why did it become like an exclusive interview?
Is this guy in front of me really a student?
Not only did he look very old, but he also had an old-fashioned style. If the guard had not introduced him before, Ma Xiaohong would never have thought that he was still a student.
But now that it's here, make peace with it, maybe you can dig out some good materials from here.
Ma Xiaohong straightened her body, took out a pen and paper, and asked: "First question, what is your name?"
"My name is……"
Qu Aiguo was about to speak, but then he thought of something and waved to the members present: "Xinmin Evening News arranged for reporter Ma to conduct an exclusive interview with our association. You guys should also come and listen, and gain insights.
"
When several members heard that Xinmin Evening News was giving an exclusive interview to the association, they immediately gathered around.
Darling, the association is so powerful now that even Xinmin Evening News came to interview it.
Chapter completed!
