Knowing that Hu Hao could also play egg-cracking, Yu Hua and the others said that this trip to Yanjing would not be too boring.
In fact, when I go to the Writers' Representative Meeting this time, I am sure to meet a lot of people, both acquaintances and strangers.
Even if they want to play cards, there are a lot of people accompanying them, and Hu Hao will be the one to play in any round.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Please let Xiao Hu go. This time he is going to Yanjing on a mission. He has no time to play cards with you."
Mo Yan asked curiously: "What mission did Xiao Hu have this time?"
Hu Hao replied: "Isn't our company's annual meeting about to start this year? I happen to be going to Yanjing, so I will send the invitation letter to them by the way."
"Oh, that's it."
Mo Yan and the others had heard Yu Dong mention the annual meeting before, but they didn't take it too seriously. They were all in Jinling anyway, so they could just go there directly.
"I heard that the scale this time is even bigger than last year?" Su Tong asked.
"Well, that's the plan. Because we have started preparations early, everything will be better than last year. In addition to inviting more guests this time, most of the employees from Deep Space China will participate.
Many of my colleagues will also come.”
"There will also be people coming from the United States in deep space?" Mo Yan said in surprise: "In this case, the cost will be quite big."
"Yes." Hu Hao nodded and smiled, "We are all discussing privately that the boss is generous this time."
"Well, Jimmy is indeed very generous this time. Not to mention too much, even if there are only twenty or thirty people here, the money spent on employees alone must be hundreds of thousands." Yu Hua said with emotion.
"Not only that, this time at least more than a hundred foreign colleagues will come, and the cost for each person will definitely be more than ten thousand."
Su Tong exclaimed: "This is a big gesture, but with so many people, the Jinling Hotel will be a little cramped."
"We won't be at the Jinling Hotel this year. Jinling people heard that we were going to hold an annual meeting. They were very supportive and rented the Jinling Great Hall of the People to us. There's no problem for two to three thousand people."
Mo Yan and the others couldn't help but feel a little sad when they heard that they were going to the Great Hall of the People in Jinling. It had only been a few years since the deep space annual meeting had to go to the Great Hall of the People.
Last year, the Deep Space Company suddenly held an annual meeting, and the scale was beyond their imagination. They didn't expect that this year's scale would be even bigger.
From this point of view, Deep Space Company is indeed rich. The cost of this annual meeting is estimated to be several million. And most private companies in the country may not be able to earn so much money after a year of hard work.
But they were all taken to an annual meeting by the Deep Space Company.
Hu Hao looked at Yu Dong through the rearview mirror.
In fact, Ji was a little hesitant about whether his foreign colleagues would come to China this time. After all, there were too many people and it would cost a lot.
However, after Yu Dong heard about this, he immediately made the decision, emphasizing that his colleagues from the United States must come and take a look this year. Therefore, the one who is truly generous is Mr. Yu.
…
One of the disadvantages of traveling by car is that you can't play cards, and the road is not very good and bumpy, so after chatting in the car for a while, Yu Hua and the others fell asleep.
In fact, they can also travel by plane, but the current airport in Jinling has had many major accidents, and everyone is a little afraid. The new airport will not be opened until next year.
On the way, Yu Dong changed with Hu Hao several times, stopped for dinner twice, and arrived at the hotel in the middle of the night.
I arrived so late, so of course no one picked me up.
The accommodation for each group at this congress was arranged uniformly, and Yu Dong and others did not do anything special and followed the arrangements.
When checking in at the lobby, several people were already drowsy.
Although I slept a lot in the car during the day, the road was too bumpy and the sleep quality was not very good. The more I slept, the more tired I became. When I got off the car, I felt sleepy again.
Yu Dong is young and has made up a lot of work during this period. Although he has been driving for a long time, his condition is not bad. He looked at Yu Hua and the others: "The representative meeting will start the day after tomorrow. There will be nothing to do tomorrow. You can sleep a little longer.
."
Su Tong was closing his eyes to rest, but when he heard Yu Dong's words, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at him: "You still want to sleep in tomorrow? That's a good idea!"
Mo Yan said with a smile: "Su Tong is right, let's forget about sleeping in. Whether it's the Zhejiang delegation, the Shanghai delegation or the Jiangsu delegation, they all know that we are here today and will definitely be there tomorrow.
We are going to have a small meeting. There are so many acquaintances here in Yanjing, so they will definitely come to see us."
On the other side, Yu Hua was about to fall asleep. He turned over on the sofa and muttered: "Tomorrow morning, I won't knock on the door if anyone comes. Anyway, I will definitely sleep until noon..."
Before Yu Hua finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the hotel lobby: "Oh, Yu Hua, Mo Yan!"
Yu Dongxian turned around and looked. A young woman about forty years old, wearing a black coat and with curly hair, waving her hands and walking in from the hotel door, was followed by about ten men and women.
Before Yu Hua sat up from the sofa, the woman walked toward them with a smile, and said as she walked: "I was chatting with someone on the way just now, but it's so late and I don't know if I can meet anyone I know. Really.
I didn’t expect that I actually met him.”
Mo Yan stood up with a smile, "Chairman Iron, you have just arrived."
"We've just arrived, we've just arrived. Why are there only a few of you, where are the others?"
At this time, Yu Hua also stood up and explained: "We came here on our own, unlike you. Wherever we go, there is a huge crowd."
Tie Lin couldn't help curling her lips: "What you said, I think you, Yu Hua, are too aloof. If someone wants to get closer to you, you won't be happy."
After saying that, she looked at Yu Dong and Su Tong, "Who are these two?"
Mo Yan smiled and introduced, "Su Tong, Yu Dong, this is Tie Lin, the author of "Rose Gate"."
Tie Lin raised her eyebrows, stroking her palms and said, "I've heard about these two great names for a long time, but today I can see them in person."
Yu Dong and Su Tong also smiled and greeted Tielin, "Long time admirer, long time admiration."
For Dong and Su Tong, Tie Lin is considered a senior figure in the literary world. She began publishing works in the 1970s. Although she has no outstanding works, she is still very recognized in the literary circle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition to some accomplishments in literature, Tielin also did well in the Writers' Association. She is now the chairman of the Bei Ha Provincial Writers' Association, and there is news that after this Writers' Congress, she
He will be transferred from Beihe to Yanjing.
Yu Dong knew that the news was true. Not only was Tielin transferred to Yanjing, but she would later become the chairman of the Chinese Writers Association.
Tie Lin chatted with Yu Hua and the others for a few words, then went to check in with the people from their provincial delegation.
After Tielin left, Yu Hua looked at the group of people in Beihe and rubbed his eyes, "It seems like I don't know many of them."
Mo Yan smiled and said, "You have bad eyesight. I saw Tang Ge."
"Really?" Yu Hua looked at it again and curled his lips and said, "It's too far away to see clearly, and he didn't say hello to us."
"I'm not familiar with them, so I'm sorry. But I didn't expect to see them now. Beihe is so close, and it took us until midnight to arrive," Mo Yan said.
"They're so close. You can come whenever you want. Maybe you just had dinner and then wandered over on the bus." Su Tong yawned, "Okay, Xiao Hu is here.
Let’s go to the room first, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow if there’s anything else.”
…
Early the next morning, Yu Dong heard a rumbling knock on the door next door.
The knock on the door rang many times, getting louder and louder, and more and more impatient.
Later, Yu Dong heard someone shout, "Yu Hua, come out."
He has a bit of a Xiangjiang accent and is quite cheerful.
"Yu Hua, come out."
"Yu Hua..."
The person who called the door probably called seven or eight times, but Yu Hua didn't answer the door. Mo Yan who was sitting opposite was quarreled.
Yu Dong heard Mo Yan's voice in the room, "Why are you here so early? Yu Hua must be sleeping."
The man who called the door said with some surprise, "It's okay, I'll do the same to you."
…
Then, the knocks and voices disappeared, and about ten minutes later, there was a knock on Yu Dong's door.
Yu Dong was already half-awakened by the previous call at the door. Now someone knocked on the door. He reluctantly got up and asked, "Who is it?"
"I." It was Mo Yan's voice.
Yu Dong sighed and ran to open the door, "Old manager, you'd better——"
As he was about to finish speaking, Yu Dong saw someone standing behind Mo Yan. He was of medium height, slightly fat, with a bit of missing teeth. He looked to be in his early forties, but he could already see a lot of gray hair on his temples.
Before Dong could ask, the man introduced himself, "Hello Yu Dong, I am Han Shaogong."
Yu Dong smiled, it turned out to be Han Shaogong, no wonder he looked so familiar.
Han Shaogong is the chairman of the HAN Provincial Writers Association and also cooperates with Deep Space. The "Maqiao Dictionary" he published this year was operated with the help of Deep Space.
Yu Dong was not surprised at all that Han Shaogong and Mo Yan knew each other. There is a common word between the two of them, which is "root seeking".
Ten years ago, when root-seeking literature became a trend, there was no definition for this trend. Later, Han Shaogong wrote "The Roots of Literature", which was tantamount to the manifesto of root-seeking literature.
Since then, people have begun to refer to the literary works of Han Shaogong, Mo Yan and others as root-seeking literature.
Yu Dong was not surprised that Han Shaogong would knock on Yu Hua's door. Not to mention that Yu Hua and Mo Yan were old friends, and let's talk about the relationship between Yu Hua and Li Tuo. He and Han Shaogong knew each other.
Of course.
Li Tuo was an early advocate of "seeking the roots of literature", and he had a particularly good personal relationship with Yu Hua.
"Come in and sit down." Yu Dong smiled and invited Mo Yan and Han Shaogong into the room, and then said with some embarrassment, "I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth. It's ridiculous."
Han Shaogong smiled heartily, "What's the point? There's another one next door. No matter how hard you knock on the door, you won't wake up."
Yu Dong knew he was talking about Yu Hua and smiled, "Mo Yan, you chat with Chairman Han for a while, I'll go wash up."
"Don't call me Chairman Han, just call me Lao Han."
Yu Dong nodded and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
Before he finished, he heard Yu Hua come in cursing, "Han Shaogong, it was you who knocked on my door just now."
Han Shaogong said, "It should be me."
"It's so early in the morning, it disturbs people's dreams." Yu Hua muttered, then stretched his head to the bathroom to look at Yu Dong, "Were you woken up by him too?"
Yu Dong had water in his mouth and muttered, "It should be him."
Han Shaogong smiled and said: "I'm not quarreling with you. I met Tielin when I was eating in the restaurant just now. She said that you had already arrived, and I just came. She also said that she would come to see you soon. This lesbian
If I don't wake you up first, it will definitely be a lot of inconvenience, so you should thank me. In addition, the hotel's breakfast ends at the hotel. It's already past eight o'clock. If you don't hurry up,
, I didn’t even have to eat breakfast.”
"I think you just have nothing to do." Yu Hua teased and walked over to chat with them.
By the time Yu Dong came out of the bathroom after washing up, the three of them were already holding a cigarette and puffing away at it.
Seeing Yu Dong come out, Han Shaogong stood up and urged: "Go and eat quickly."
Yu Hua looked at the time and said, "It's still early, why are you in a hurry?"
"Let's go see Tiesheng together later."
Hearing Han Shaogong mention Shi Tiesheng, Yu Hua and the others said nothing more.
"You go first, I'll call the senior brother up." After saying this, Yu Dong ran out.
Han Shaogong asked in confusion from behind, "Who is his senior brother?"
"Su Tong." Yu Hua said.
Han Shaogong suddenly realized, "It turns out they are still brothers."
…
Shi Tiesheng was also a representative of this representative meeting, but he seemed to have no intention of participating. When Yu Dong and his party arrived at his home, he was in the living room near the door, holding a book and reading.
He was quite surprised to see Yu Dong and the others, "Are you here?"
He raised the book in his hand again and smiled: "What a coincidence, Yu Dong is reading your "The Crowd" right now."
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Shi Tiesheng's condition seems to have deteriorated a lot. On the way here, I heard Han Shaogong say that he had come to see Shi Tiesheng a few days ago.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shi Tiesheng's kidney disease continues to worsen and is likely to develop into uremia.
If uremia really develops, he will need to continue dialysis in the future.
As a result, on the one hand, the body will suffer greater pain, and on the other hand, the family will also be severely damaged. After all, the cost of treating uremia is not a small sum.
However, after seeing Shi Tiesheng, Yu Dong discovered that he was more optimistic than he thought. It seemed that illness could only destroy his body, but not his will.
Chen Ximi was also very happy when she saw guests coming to her home. She wanted to make tea for Yu Dong and others, but Shi Tiesheng waved his hand: "Stop being busy, I'll go for a walk with them."
These days, Shi Tiesheng rarely goes out, so Chen Ximi is naturally happy and tells them to come back for lunch at noon.
After going out, Yu Dong pushed Shi Tiesheng and everyone walked towards the altar of earth.
Not long after leaving, Shi Tiesheng took out a pack of cigarettes and gave them to Yu Hua and the others, "The place at home is small and there is no room for your pipes, so we have to come out."
After several people lit up their cigarettes, Shi Tiesheng turned to look at Yu Dong again: "I heard you say on the phone before that you and Yu Hua haven't completed the procedures for joining the Writers' Association yet? There will be a meeting tomorrow, is there still enough time?"
Yu Dong shook his head, "I don't know, the Writers Association said they don't want us to worry about it."
"That's okay." Shi Tiesheng nodded.
Han Shaogong took a puff of cigarette beside him and looked at Yu Dong and Yu Hua with a smile: "You two haven't been members of the Chinese Writers Association for a long time. You want to sneak in and hold this meeting?"
Shi Tiesheng said: "I think the relationship between them and the Writers Association is quite good now. There is no conflict and it shouldn't go too deep."
"The implication is that the relationship between me and the Writers' Association is not good?" Han Shaogong said.
"You know, that's not what I meant."
"I'm kidding you." Han Shaogong laughed, "You are also a representative this time. Do you want to go over and have a look?"
