1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 566 The Role of Flattery

As soon as Lin Weimin entered Cheng Zaochun's office, Cheng Zaochun said with a bit of worry on his face, "Things may change a bit!"

"What's going on?" Lin Weimin asked.

"Do you remember Yu Hongcai?"

Lin Weimin frowned and thought for a while before he remembered that this was a club leader who had been transferred away when he first joined the Guowen Club.

"How many years has he been transferred, what's the matter? Want to come back?"

Cheng Zaochun nodded, "Not bad."

Lin Weimin stared at Cheng Zaochun's expression, made a judgment in his heart, and asked, "Is he eyeing the position of editor-in-chief?"

Cheng Zaochun nodded again, "He was dismissed because he was too left in the last unit. I don't know which leader he left. The higher-ups are going to arrange for him to return to our old job. Our unit can match his level of position. Just three, I am the president and also the editor-in-chief, and it is just right to share them with him according to the meaning of the above."

Without waiting for his reaction, Cheng Zaochun continued, "Don't worry. I firmly disagree with his return. If I don't mention this position, I have communicated with the leader in advance to give it to you. His ideas alone are not in line with us. The current atmosphere of the Guowen Society, and this person's ability to work is not good, and his intentions are not right."

Lin Weimin frowned. He didn't think that Cheng Zaochun had to give him the position of editor-in-chief. After all, Cheng Zaochun couldn't decide this kind of thing alone.

But it would be a bit depressing to be squeezed out by the paratroopers just like that. Even if the agency raised a chief editor from among the many old comrades who met the requirements, he would accept it.

The most important thing is that, as Cheng Zaochun said, Yu Hongcai started his career from the left, and his ability is not good enough. He is a good player, so that this kind of person has become one of the leaders of the Guowen Society, which is tantamount to recruiting a scourge .

Lin Weimin thought of this and looked at Cheng Zaochun, "Leader, in fact, I can be the editor-in-chief or not, but it's not a good thing for Yu Hongcai to come back..."

Cheng Zaochun waved his hand, "I understand what you mean, it's not suitable for you to come forward about this matter, I called you here just to tell you, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"What are your plans?"

"The person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell." Cheng Zaochun read a sentence, and then said: "I want to talk to Comrade Junyi first, because she helped Yu Hongcai back then."

Wei Junyi was the editor-in-chief of the Writers Publishing House before joining the Guowen Society. In April 1961, the Writers Publishing House was merged into the National Literature Publishing House, and Wei Junyi served as the deputy director and deputy editor-in-chief.

At that time, when she first came to the Chinese Literature Society, she didn't understand Yu Hongcai's personality, and thought that he was a good comrade with progressive thinking and hard work, so she helped him to be the director of the editorial department.

Later, when turmoil broke out, Yu Hongcai's true nature was revealed, so he became the leader of the Guowen Society, and he often harmed the colleagues of the Guowen Society.After the turmoil is over, according to common sense, Hongcai and his group will be liquidated in the society.

But Yan Wenjing, who was the president at the time, was merciful and let Yu Hongcai and others go. These people were transferred from the Guowen Society one after another, and some even got promoted.

Wei Junyi has regretted promoting this person more than once, and has been brooding about it for many years.

After Cheng Zaochun finished speaking, Lin Weimin immediately understood what he meant.

Yu Hongcai was promoted by Wei Junyi, and the organization attached great importance to Wei Junyi's views when inspecting Yu Hongcai.

Furthermore, Wei Junyi is the former editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society, and Cheng Zaochun is also the current editor-in-chief. Now the higher-ups are going to arrange a new editor-in-chief for the Guowen Society, and the two have the most say.

Lin Weimin hesitated: "The old lady is not in good health now, why don't you bother her."

Cheng Zaochun glared at Lin Weimin angrily, "Benevolence of a woman! We are going to ask her to help me with a few words. Comrade Junyi's words are more useful than mine at this time, and her words carry the most weight in this matter. "

Lin Weimin rubbed his nose in embarrassment. Although he is usually the same as Lao Cheng, at the critical moment, he has to be an old man like Lao Cheng!

"That's all right, then let's go to her house to talk to her after work, and ask her to come out of the mountain?"

Cheng Zaochun picked up the clothes draped over the chair, "Hurry up sooner rather than later, go now!"

Lin Weimin followed Cheng Zaochun and felt that his fighting experience was not rich enough. Looking at the old Comrade Cheng, one could see that he had been battle-tested.

The two came to Dongzongbu Hutong. Wei Junyi saw Cheng Zaochun and Lin Weimin coming together, and asked, "Why did you two come together? What happened?"

"Comrade Junyi, I received news that Yu Hongcai is going back to our unit, and someone above plans to appoint him as the chief editor."

Cheng Zaochun straight to the point explained the situation, now is not the time to be polite.

Wei Junyi's expression changed suddenly when she heard Yu Hongcai's name, and she anxiously leaned on the armrest of the sofa and wanted to stand up. Lin Weimin hurriedly supported her, "Slow down."

"Why does he have the face to go back to the Guowen Society?"

Wei Junyi's face was full of anger. She was promoted to Hongcai back then, but Yu Hongcai turned back and retaliated, which made Wei Junyi brood.

Cheng Zaochun told Wei Junyi what he knew in detail.

Wei Junyi said anxiously: "Zaochun, Weimin, you carried me to the leader's office, I have an important matter to talk to him...they are simply unreasonable!"

Lin Weimin comforted him: "Calm down first, I'm here to ask you for help. If you don't help me if you don't help, then I will be offended."

"Yes, don't worry. I have communicated with the leader in advance about the people's affairs. This time he must have been pressured by the outside world." Cheng Zaochun said.

Wei Junyi shook her head, "I haven't advised or intervened once in the appointment of cadres in the agency since I left office. But this time the agency plans to arrange for Yu Hongcai to come back, so I have to take care of it. Yu Hongcai, he I can't control what kind of official I am outside, and I don't want to control it, but I definitely can't be the editor-in-chief of the Guowen Society when I come back.

Not to mention being the editor-in-chief, even an ordinary editor would not do.

This man, I am blind!Blind!That's how I helped him up.He must never come back, I know him too well..."

Wei Junyi was worried about Yu Hongcai's return to the Guowen Society, and told Lin Weimin and Cheng Zaochun a lot about Yu Hongcai. Lin Weimin joined the society late, and he didn't know most of these things.

Even Cheng Zaochun was not very clear about some of these things, after hearing what Wei Junyi had said, his attitude became more determined.

"Then let's not let him come back!"

Wei Junyi said in a loud voice: "That's right! He must not be allowed to come back! I'll go find Lao Yan, he knows what happened back then, he tolerated and raised traitors..."

Cheng Zaochun interrupted Wei Junyi's words, and persuaded: "Comrade Junyi, my idea is still for the two of us to come forward. If there are too many people, it will be easy to be self-defeating."

Wei Junyi rolled her eyes there, and immediately understood Cheng Zaochun's meaning. The two of them are the outgoing and current editor-in-chief, and they have a say in the appointment of the editor-in-chief.

But if Yan Wenjing is brought here again, if there are too many people, it will be suspected of forcing the palace and causing trouble. Once the rebellious psychology of the higher-ups is aroused, it will be bad.

Wei Junyi said with a smile: "When it comes to how to deal with these people, you have the most say."

Lin Weimin looked at Cheng Zaochun, and remembered that he sometimes chatted with Lao Yan, Lao Meng and others. According to these old comrades, the young old Comrade Cheng was also a thorn in the club back then!

No wonder he has so much experience in fighting!

"It's not too late for this matter, early spring, take me to the office, I must explain the situation to the leader, and we must not repeat the same mistakes!" Wei Junyi urged.

Lin Weimin said: "Then I will send you two there!"

Cheng Zaochun stopped him, "I'll call a car to take us there, don't show up."

"Early spring is right, you are not fit to show up."

Seeing Lin Weimin's embarrassment, he comforted him: "Don't think that we did this only for you, and we also did this for the society. The society has developed for so many years, and it is not easy to get to where it is today. You can't let Yu Hongcai do this again. The people who brought our team down."

Lin Weimin's face brightened when he heard the words, "Understood, just don't get excited when you go."

Wei Junyi smiled at him, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Cheng Zaochun used Wei Junyi's home phone to call his assigned car, and the two went to the office together.

Lin Weimin returned to the Guowen Society alone. When he was working, he couldn't help but think of Cheng and Wei, who went to the office to break heads with the leaders.

One is more than 50, and the other is more than 70. It is said that it is not for him, but most of the reasons are still for him.

Thinking wildly, Cheng Zaochun came back from outside before he got off work in the afternoon.

He called Lin Weimin to the office again with a relaxed expression.

"Is the old lady sent home? How is she doing?" Lin Weimin was concerned about Wei Junyi's body first.

Cheng Zaochun looked at Lin Weimin with some relief in his eyes, "I sent it back, it's fine, don't worry about her."

He went on to say: "Thanks to the last time I communicated with the leader in advance, I went to talk openly today. He prefers you to take over as the editor-in-chief. Yu Hongcai has not yet settled on this matter. He came through the original publisher. The leader ran this matter, but the leader couldn’t directly refuse because of his feelings. Today, Comrade Junyi and I went to find him, which can be regarded as an excuse for him to refuse Yu Hongcai.”

"So, there's nothing wrong with it?" Lin Weimin's face also relaxed.

"Until the last moment, no one can guarantee it. Don't be too happy." Cheng Zaochun reminded.

"I see!"

After talking about the business, Cheng Zaochun also relaxed, and said with a bit of teasing in his tone: "Usually flattering the retired old man and the old lady, it really works wonders. Today the old lady went to the leadership office, but for you Fight for it."

"Look at your envious and jealous look. It's okay. When you retire, you will have this kind of treatment."

The two chatted and laughed, Lin Weimin came out of the office, raised his hand and looked at his watch. When it was off-duty time, he went back to the office to pack his things, and then drove away from the Guowen Society.

He came to Wei Junyi's house again, sat with the old lady for a while, and then he left.
