1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 447 Treatment of Honest People
Naturally, Lin Weimin didn't know what Cheng Zaochun was thinking, even if he knew, he would at most spit at Cheng Zaochun, and then looked disgusted.

"Leader, your guess is really accurate!"

Of course, his recommendation of Wang Yangchen was not purely flattering Cheng Zaochun, but also a bit of complaining for honest people.

Cheng Zaochun told Lin Weimin about Wang Yangchen before, which left a deep impression on Lin Weimin.

Lu Xun's works were reedited in the 70s, and this is already the second edition.

At that time, Wang Yangchen had just taken over the Lu Editing Office, and the pressure was very high.

In order to compile the "Collected Letters of Lu Xun", I specially advertised in newspapers and periodicals to collect the letters of Mr. Lu Xun and his friends, and at the same time printed the collected catalog into a book, and invited experts from all walks of life to supplement.

Once, Cheng Zaochun and Wang Yangchen went to visit an expert together. Wang Yangchen asked him to read the list of letters. The expert only glanced at it and said that he had missed at least 30 letters.

This made Wang Yangchen very anxious, and begged experts to provide him with clues.

But the expert said, "I can't provide it. I'll wait for the book to come out."

Wang Yangchen believed it to be true, and said so much good things in front of this person that he almost knelt down to him.

When Cheng Zaochun said this, his expression was very unbearable, "That man is a jerk! He didn't even blink his eyes when he panicked. Sun Yong and Lin Chen in the agency had contacted him before, and told me about him. bug."

"At that time, I gave Lao Wang a wink, but he didn't understand. He didn't even bother to pull the hem of his clothes, and kept begging him. It made me so depressed!"

When Cheng Zaochun said this, Lin Weimin couldn't help sighing: "No wonder you are the president of the company, Mr. Wang is still the director."

Cheng Zaochun couldn't tell whether Lin Weimin scolded him or praised him for a moment, and in the spirit of not scolding him for nothing, he scolded Lin Weimin back.

Lin Weimin smiled.

He has seen too many honest people suffer in later generations. Sometimes not only bad people bully honest people, but even those who you think are upholding justice also bully honest people.

Don't ask, asking is "fighting each other"!
In fact, it's just because the cost of bullying honest people is the lowest.

Apart from the two factors of professional ability and honesty, Lin Weimin also felt that Wang Yangchen was also worthy of this recommendation in terms of character.

Anyone who has worked in the editorial office in the agency knows that the people there are upright and the atmosphere is upright. When many colleagues praise the good atmosphere of "Contemporary", they will bring a comment about the editorial office, which is similar to being the director of the editorial office. Wang Yangchen is inseparable from the relationship.

The atmosphere in the conference room was silent for a moment, everyone had different thoughts, only Cheng Zaochun, the president, nodded.

"That's right. Then, do you have anyone else to nominate?"

Everything is difficult at the beginning. With the first person to speak and the recommended candidate, others will naturally have no pressure.

Everyone chattered for a long time, talking about several people.

Among them were two leading comrades, both of whom were deputy editor-in-chiefs. Cheng Zaochun said again: "I don't think our leading comrades should participate in this award selection."

One sentence extinguished the possibility of the two leading comrades winning the award.

When it comes to offending people, Lin Weimin's self-conscious flattery can't match President Cheng.

But in all honesty, with this responsibility, it's no wonder he can be the president!
At the end of the discussion, the only suitable candidates were Wang Yangchen and Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu is a well-known translator in China with a good reputation. He has translated many works such as "Memoirs of Literature", "Star", "What to Do?", "History of Russian Literature", "On Literature", "Memoirs of Banayeva" and so on. Well-known literary works of the Soviet Union.

In terms of popularity alone, Jiang Yangchen was a hit after recording.

It stands to reason that everyone's support for the two should be very different.

However, due to some unexplainable subtle psychology, the supporters of the two were evenly divided.

Whenever this time comes, the authority of the top leader is particularly prominent.

Cheng Zaochun pondered for a long time, "Jiang Lu is a well-known translator and has a good reputation outside. But Wang Yangchen is only known to insiders, not to the public. In my opinion, this spot should be given to Wang Yangchen!"

After Cheng Zaochun said this, everyone was not too surprised.

When Lin Weimin nominated him just now, Wang Yangchen looked surprised and puzzled.

During the discussion, he remained silent.

Now that Cheng Zaochun had made the final decision, Wang Yangchen still couldn't believe it.

The recommendation quota in the agency really determined me?

Wang Yangchen stood there in a daze, and did not move until the meeting was over.

Lin Weimin came over and patted him, "Teacher Wang, let's go!"

Wang Yangchen, who finally came to his senses, looked at Lin Weimin with gratitude in his eyes.

"Weimin, thank you!" His voice was dry and low, as if he was embarrassed.

"You're being polite, I'm just saying it casually. Everyone can nominate, it's all because of your excellent work and good popularity." Lin Weimin said in a relaxed tone.

Wang Yangchen didn't think so.

Having been an honest person all his life, how could he not know what an honest person deserves?
I can't get away with hard work and tiring work, and I have to take the blame from time to time, but I don't have a share in any good deeds.

He was sure that if Lin Weimin hadn't been the first to call out his name today, no one in the club would have nominated him.

Also, what Lin Weimin said when recommending him seemed inconspicuous, but it was somewhat credited with setting the tone.

In any unit, there are people who are not active in their work, and one person is more active than the other in grabbing benefits.

What Lin Weimin said greatly reduced the possibility of this kind of person being nominated because of his interpersonal relationship.

We are all in the same unit, and we usually don't see each other when we look up, and we don't know who we are.

Do you have the nerve to nominate someone like that?
"For the people, thank you!"

Wang Yangchen shook Lin Weimin's hand tightly, sincerely.

Wang Yangchen is not a person who is good at maintaining interpersonal relationships. After a few dry words of thanks, he didn't know what to say.

Lin Weimin smiled, chatted with him a few words, and left the conference room.

On the way back to the back building, Tan Chaoyang teased, "You can do it, you can understand the leader's thoughts thoroughly!"

"Comrade Old Qin, we have a good relationship, and if you dare to slander me, I will sue you as well!"

"Come on, I don't know you yet? Did you get through with the president in advance?"

Lin Weimin was silent, he was thinking about a very serious question.

Since when did I become, in Comrade Lao Tan's heart, a flatterer who only knows how to opportunistically and seek flattery?
After thinking for a long time, he came to a conclusion.

This matter has nothing to do with me, it's because Lao Tan is too dirty!
"Your heart is really dirty!"

When the two were bickering, Cheng Zaochun sent someone to call Lin Weimin.

Comrade Old Qin had an expression of "I've guessed it", and it seemed that Lin Weimin wanted to give this old...comrade a big blow.

He came to the president's office depressed, and when he entered the door, he complained: "Leader, why did you call me here at this time? How inappropriate are the plums in the melon field?"

Cheng Zaochun looked relaxed, with a bit of a smile on his face, "Yo, you also know about plums in the melon field!"

Lin Weimin looked at him without speaking.

Cheng Zaochun laughed, "Okay, I'm mature, I know how to avoid suspicion."

"You didn't come here just to praise me, did you?" Lin Weimin asked.

Cheng Zaochun then said: "I'm just curious, why did you think of recommending Lao Wang?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Weimin was puzzled.

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, Cheng Zaochun explained: "I went to a meeting a few days ago, and the old president talked about the Taofen Award, and he used Lao Wang as an example, saying that such a person should be nominated. I don't think so. It’s easy to speak, I didn’t expect you to speak first.”

When Cheng Zaochun mentioned the old president, Lin Weimin knew that he was referring to Wang Ziye, who was still in office, the current leader of the publishing bureau, and had served as the editor-in-chief and president of the Guowen Society in the 60s.

Lin Weimin said, "Look, we have a tacit understanding with the leader!"

"Don't be poor!" Cheng Zaochun scolded him.

Lin Weimin said sternly: "Leader, I don't recommend Teacher Wang because of someone's instruction, it's all because I admire Teacher Wang's character and professional ability from the bottom of my heart."

Cheng Zaochun nodded, "It's okay, I'm just asking you."

Lin Weimin pouted in his heart, I believe you are the one to blame.

Talking to you group of leaders, there are not [-] minds that have to be played to death by you.

Cheng Zaochun laughed again: "Wei Min, this time I thank you on Lao Wang's behalf."

Lin Weimin waved his hand, "It doesn't have much to do with me, it's because Mr. Wang is usually very popular."

"Actually, about the Taofen Award this time, the Cultural Association even greeted me. They meant that they wanted to lean towards the editorial department of People's Literature," Cheng Zaochun said.

"Their faces are big enough!" Lin Weimin said openly.

Cheng Zaochun glared at Lin Weimin, but he didn't criticize him this time, apparently he also had a problem with the Association's dictating.

"Okay, let's not talk about it."

Cheng Zaochun stopped this topic, and said another thing to Lin Weimin, "Your "Hunting", put it back later!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Weimin immediately jumped up and said, "Old Cheng, you don't keep your promise!"

Cheng Zaochun's face darkened again, and the monkey grandson really couldn't change his temper anytime soon.

"Shut up! Listen to me!" Cheng Zaochun snapped.

Frightened by the coercion of the president and editor-in-chief, Lin Weimin suppressed his temper, but the expression on his face was angry.

It seemed that if Cheng Zaochun didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he seemed to be planning to make a "havoc in heaven".

"Old Tan is leaving!"

Lin Weimin was surprised when he heard this sentence, "Old Tan is going to retire? Why didn't I know?"

"Are you his leader? He still has to report to you?" Cheng Zaochun said angrily.

Lin Weimin said awkwardly: "I didn't mean that. Isn't this a comrade in arms fighting in the trenches? You have to say hello to me in advance, right? Otherwise, you won't be mentally prepared at all."

"Leave me no big or small!" The more Cheng Zaochun looked at Lin Weimin, the more he disliked Lin Weimin, and he continued to maintain a stern tone, "Old Tan is about to retire, and the position of director is vacant. You are the most suitable candidate. At this time, thousands There must be no mistakes!"

"Can you understand me?"
