Chapter 318 Auntie, your house is quite big, don't mind putting more beds(1/2)
Liu Sijun was a little surprised. Why did there be a man around her daughter? She was not old, so why did the two have anything to do with each other? Liu Sijun felt a little shocked and looked at Li Dong secretly, saying that Li Dong was dressed well.
She has a stand-up collar and leather shoes, and is similar to Jet Li’s Chen Zhen’s style. She has a straight figure and a handsome pussy, which mainly has a good temperament.
But as soon as Li Dong opened his mouth, Liu Sijun felt bad suddenly. What's the matter? Who's the mother? He doesn't have such a big son. "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm used to calling him."
"Puff"
Huang Shengnan couldn't help laughing. Li Dong was really funny at this time. Why did he forget to tell him that my mother was very serious?
"Mom, why are you here in person?"
“Just do business around.”
Liu Sijun nodded at Li Dong. "Who is this?"
"Li Dong, my friend, came to Beijing to do business."
Li Dongxin said, Huang Shengnan's mother doesn't look like Huang Shengnan at all, she is too serious.
Originally, Li Dong was planning to make a joke and liven up the atmosphere, but when he saw Liu Sijun's serious expression, it's okay to make a joke with a young man, but you're joking with a friend, no problem.
It’s okay to be familiar with people and jokes, but it’s okay for strangers to have good personalities, but when they encounter a serious elder who jokes, that’s a joke.
"Oh." Liu Sijun was a little alert, but didn't say anything.
"Shengnan, let's go, Li Dong, right? Come to the house to sit there when you have time."
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll visit you and grandpa."
Although Li Dong is an honest child, he often practices climbing trees and poles, and climbing smoothly. As for whether he is polite, Li Dong feels that people in this era are really simple and not polite. These are all real expressions of emotions.
Maybe because of her good temperament, handsome appearance, and outstanding character, Aunt Liu could tell her excellence at a glance.
Liu Sijun was stunned for a moment, nodded and took Huang Shengnan's bag, and was about to leave.
Li Dong was about to say that when he walked slowly, George and Mary came over. "Li, it's such a coincidence."
"George, Mary."
Li Dong didn't expect to meet two more again. He thought he had left long ago. After chatting for a few words, Liu Sijun was a little surprised. There are quite a few foreigners now, but he didn't expect Li Dong to know foreigners. Huang Shengnan waved to Li Dong.
Following Liu Sijun to the front of a Shanghai-branded sedan, Huang Shengnan was surprised. His mother actually drove into the car. This was quite surprising. "I will borrow the company's car, Xiao Zhang, thank you for your hard work."
"Director Liu, what are you talking about?"
Li Dong glanced at Huang Sheng's mother, who was amazing. She was not an ordinary person who could ride a car these days.
"Mom, give it to Li Dong."
Huang Shengnan waved to Li Dong standing on the side of the road. As a man, Li Dong would never let women wait for a long time. He ran over with two boxes and two handbags and two canvas bags and ran at a speed of 100 meters.
"Thank you aunt."
Speaking, Li Dong had quickly stuffed the box into the trunk. The car was quite retro. He pulled the co-pilot and sat down. It was the first time he took a car like this. "Master, please trouble you."
“No trouble.”
It was the first time that Liu Sijun and the driver saw a man of such speed. The guy didn't react and got in the car. "Master, you can drive."
"Let me give it to Comrade Li Dong first."
"Thank you aunt."
"Comrade, where are you going?"
"People's Literature Publishing House."
This was quite surprising to Liu Sijun, but he didn't ask much. After a while, Li Dong thanked him. "Auntie, thank you so much. I'll visit you after finishing my work."
After closing the car door, Liu Sijun looked at Huang Shengnan with a serious expression. "Tell me, who is this Li Dong?"
Huang Shengnan introduced Li Dong, and Liu Sijun heard that she had settled in the production team. "If you settled in the production team, you have no relatives at home." The more you heard, your brows became tighter. Generally, single young educated youth thought of ways to return to the city.
"What's your relationship?"
"friend."
Liu Sijun stared at Huang Shengnan for a while. "What's he going to do?"
"publishing."
"publishing?"
People's Literature Publishing House, Liu Sijun still knew, how old is Li Dong to publish? This is probably. "Are you sure?"
It’s not like Liu Sijun, who is well-informed, Li Dong is not very much like a writer, but like some people who are cheating in some institutions.
"Mom..." Huang Shengnan promoted some of Li Dong's achievements.
He also has some skills, writers, Deng Gong proposed to develop science and technology culture, and the status of a group of literary and artistic workers has improved, and writers have become popular professions. However, Liu Sijun is a little unbelievable that Li Dong can become a writer at such a young age.
When Li Dong arrived at the People's Literature Publishing House, he happened to meet Wang Meng when he went out. "Comrade, is this the People's Literature Publishing House?"
"Who are you?"
Wang Menggang saw a Shanghai-branded car parked, and then walked over to take a look. He thought it was the leader who came over, but who would have thought that a young man would come down?
Wang Meng has just worked in a publishing house recently and is one of the editors. There are rumors within the relatively senior editor that the next editor may be Wang Meng.
Li Dong quickly took out his letter of introduction and handed it to the staff of the People's Literature.
"Li Dong?"
"Are you Li Dong?"
Wang Meng was really surprised. He just came back from the border and read some recent people's literature journals and participated in some review of manuscripts. He thought he could write such a charming prose and essay at a young age. Unexpectedly, he was a young boy, and Wang Meng was a little surprised.
"Do you know me?"
Li Dongxin said, "I'm so famous, are you too handsome? It's not right. I didn't send photos to People's Literature casually."
Waiting for Wang Mengyi to introduce his identity, Li Dong was stunned. Wang Meng, I heard of this. "Teacher Wang, I really didn't expect it to be you. I am your fan."
"fan?"
"reader."
"Oh, why are you here?"
"A friend sent me."
Wang Mengxin said that the young man is quite capable and has a friend who drives a car in Beijing. "I'll ask someone to send you to the guesthouse to settle down first, and we'll talk about it in detail."
Li Dong murmured in his heart, always feeling something was wrong. By the way, it is the beginning of 1979, and this person has not come back in the middle of the year. "Forget it, don't worry, this person is a real boss."
I really didn't expect to meet this person. Li Dong was still quite excited, but the guesthouse was really not very good. There was a bed, a table, a chair, a face rack, a washbasin, and a thermos.
The toilet had to run to the other end of the corridor, and don’t think about taking a shower. Li Dong sighed helplessly. The conditions were more difficult, but the quilt was OK, at least it would not be cold to sleep at night. Li Dong tidied up his luggage and gave him a cent of the gift.
Five copies are not enough. Editor Wang said that he is also his idol, so he should give one. It is not difficult to divide the five gifts into six. After cleaning up, Li Dong took a break and discussed the publication with Renming Literature in the afternoon.
Actually, there is nothing to talk about. The contracts are not formal this year. I have to draft a simple contract. Li Dong added some of his own requirements and signed it after discussing it. "Teacher Wang, I'm so troubled. Take some specialties in my hometown to try it."
"Comrade Li Dong, you are so polite."
Teacher Wang is not as serious as he is. He has been training at the grassroots level for many years and is still pretty good. After treating Li Dong to dinner, Li Dong did not expect that it would be so simple to meet him when People's Literature invites him over. Signing a handwritten contract is over.
The royalties are eight hundred, Li Dong didn’t know what to say, but people’s literature is still stingy as usual. Eight hundred is eight hundred, and the cash is okay, and I will brag about more than one thousand. But in which year or month, it was really a lot of 800. At that time, China’s per capita income was less than two hundred.
This money can be bought in a remote place in Beijing. You should know that the small courtyard house is only a few thousand or tens of thousands of yuan now, and the best second ring road is only a little over 20,000 yuan. Unfortunately, Li Dong doesn’t have that much money, and there are not many courtyard houses for sale now.
I didn’t have time to inquire, and Li Dong still had a lot of things. “I’ll visit Huang Shengnan’s mother tomorrow to learn how to trade with foreign friends. It’s not easy to earn foreign exchange.”
Unfortunately, Mr. Wu Guanzhong was not in the capital and went to sketch, which made Li Dong a little disappointed. Fortunately, Mr. Qi Gong was in the capital. Li Dong asked and found an opportunity to interview him. The guesthouse opened for a few more days and had plenty of time.
It’s the first time I’m here to come to the background. People’s Literature also understands that I have issued a certificate to Li Dong, and I still have plenty of time.
After resting for a night, Li Dong packed his gifts the next morning and came to Huang Shengnan's house in a tricycle.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
Li Dong looked at it and said it was good. Huang Shengnan's house turned out to be a courtyard house, not a slum. "Li Dong, come in so early, come in quickly, and have breakfast."
"This won't bother you and your aunt."
"fine."
Huang Shengnan was quite happy to see Li Dong and asked how Li Dong was talking about publishing. "After the negotiation, I also signed a publishing contract with Renming Literature."
"contract?"
However, Liu Sijun was a little surprised when she heard Li Dong's words. What is the contract still in China? It's infancy, and few people understand this. Liu Sijun has also talked to Huang Shengnan about Li Dong these days. He knows that Li Dong has published a lot of articles and is still quite a successful writer.
Another one, Li Dong, who is good at English, made Liu Sijun curious about Li Dong. It is quite surprising that an educated youth settled in the countryside has such great ability.
"Hello auntie."
Li Dong whispered to Huang Shengnan, saying that grandfather was not at home. Liu Sijun thought that this grandfather Li Dong was calling him more smoothly than Shengnan. Such a person is quite suitable for foreign trade. He is good at English, shameless, and is also a cultural person.
It really fits the same. Of course, it’s better to be a son-in-law. A shameless cultural person is too terrible. Liu Sijun thought very clearly about this. "Grandpa lives in a Beijing hotel."
"Beijing Hotel."
Li Dongxin said that Huang Shengnan's grandfather seemed to be doing well in the United States. Otherwise, ordinary overseas Chinese would not live in their daughter's house when they returned to Beijing. Besides, the yard of their daughter's house is not small. This yard can be considered within the Second Ring Road, and it will not be worth hundreds of millions in 40 years.
