Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

After the call ended, Zhou Rong thought for a moment before putting the receiver back.

Seeing the old man looking over, Zhou Rong said, Dad, Huihui has decided to go back to Shanghai to study for graduate school.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou's slightly wrinkled face showed a long-lost smile, and he said good three times.

evening.

Zhang Xuan, who came back from the classroom, was pulled by Du Shuangling to the third floor for dinner as soon as he entered the room.

During the dinner, Zhang Xuan secretly observed Wen Hui for a while and found that she was the same as before, nothing strange about her.

This relieved him.

Du Shuangling said to Wenhui and Zou Qingzhu: Sister Tao and Editor-in-Chief Hong are coming, so I have to ask you two to help entertain them.

Wen Hui smiled and responded: Okay.

Zou Qingzhu asked one more question: Do you have any special favorite dishes this time?

Zhang Xuan chatted: Don't worry, no. People are tired of eating big fish and meat, so just make some home-cooked food. They like to eat home-cooked food.

After dinner, the somewhat guilty old man left the third floor alone, planning to go for a walk and come back to practice boxing. Well, this would be a perfect day.

Just when I got down to the first floor, I met a female teacher who was bending over to identify the medicine residue.

Seeing Zhang Xuan coming over, the female teacher waved to him and asked him in a low voice: What disease does Deng Daqing have? Why does he keep taking this kind of medicine?

Over the past few years, everyone who looked down or looked up had become acquaintances, and Zhang Xuan also pretended to recognize them.

Then he said: Old Deng seems to be fine. Isn't this just ordinary Chinese medicine? Teacher, do you see something is wrong?

Female teacher gossips: Didn't you hear?

Zhang Xuan looked confused at that moment: What did you hear?

The female teacher glanced in the direction of the door of Lao Deng's house and lowered her voice: Everyone is saying that Rooney is the reincarnation of Su Daji and cannibalizes people in bed. Deng Daqing is not going to live long.

Zhang Xuan: .

This is the fucking rumor, it’s so fucking outrageous!

He wanted to laugh so much, but he held it back!

Zhang Xuan asked: Why do you say that? I see that Teacher Deng's face is rosy and does not look like a sick person.

The female teacher pointed out to him: They are all spreading rumors behind their backs, saying that these are traditional Chinese medicines for treating men's vitality, and the ingredients are very heavy. They are probably serious medical treatments.

At this moment, Lao Deng walked out of the room. The female teacher immediately stopped talking and left quickly.

Looking at his retreating figure, Lao Deng came over and asked, Is this old woman talking bad about me again?

Zhang Xuan walked around Lao Deng and said, They are all saying that Qian is alive and well, with a rosy complexion, and that this medicine is easy to use.

Speaking of medicine, Lao Deng helped his eyes: It's okay. I haven't been so strenuous in the past two days.

These words succeeded in making Zhang Xuan laugh, and he couldn't help but pat Old Deng on the shoulder: Old Deng, take it easy. If we can't, we will retreat to Xiangjiang. Our lives are at stake.

Lao Deng was furious, pointed at him with his finger, and said only three words with a constipated look on his face:

You boy!

Tao Ge came, and with him was Chief Editor Hong.

These sisters were very impatient. As soon as they met, they asked: Is the food ready? I'm very hungry.

Du Shuangling held Tao Ge's arm with a smile: Okay, the food has been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for you to come. There are Huaiyang dishes that you like, Sister Tao, and chicken fungi brought from home.

Okay, sister, eat first and read later. Tao Ge might have been really hungry, so he directly pulled Du Shuangling up to the third floor.

After saying hello to Editor-in-Chief Hong, Zhang Xuan asked, Can I still have some wine now?

Editor-in-chief Hong is currently quitting drinking due to health reasons. He waved his hand: No, I won't be able to drink anymore. Do you have any drinks? Get some drinks to go with the food.

As for drinks, I have them at home, but there is only Coke. Are you used to drinking it? If not, I will go out and buy it now. Zhang Xuan opened the refrigerator and checked it, and said truthfully.

Coke is good. Coke is good. You can't drink alcohol. This is a good thing. Chief Editor Hong reached for two bottles.

third floor.

I've been to so many places, but I still love to eat dishes made by Huihui and Qingzhu. Tao Ge, who had recovered from half a bowl of rice, expressed his love.

In fact, Zhang Xuan could tell that these sisters preferred Wen Hui's dishes because they couldn't eat too spicy food.

Wen Hui just smiled and didn't say much.

Zhang Xuan can see it, and Zou Qingzhu can naturally see it, but since she came to Guangdong Province, she can understand how people who can't eat spicy food are afraid of chili peppers, so she doesn't have any grudges in her heart.

Tao Ge tilted his head and asked Du Shuangling: I heard that you were studying for a postgraduate study before. My sister has been so busy that she almost forgot about it. Is it done?

Du Shuangling said with a smile: Thank you, Sister Tao, for your concern. It will be confirmed in late September.

Tao Ge picked up the Coke and said, Come on, let's have a drink. Congratulations on achieving your wish.

Yeah. Du Shuangling didn't have much of a problem with Tao Ge.

The main reason is that Tao Ge did not express his desire to attack.

Moreover, Tao Ge helps take care of many of his man's things.

Of course, Du Shuangling knew her man well, and Tao Ge's beauty and temperament did not pose a threat to him.

In her heart, there were always only two people who could pose a threat: Mi Jian first and Wen Hui second.

After finishing the drink, Tao Ge asked about Zou Qingzhu and Wen Hui without caring about one thing or the other.

Zou Qingzhu was a little regretful that he could not succeed in guaranteeing the research. After all, there are only so many admissions requirements for each major. Competing with people with big backgrounds like Du Shuangling, Wen Hui and Xiaoxiao, Zou Qingzhu has no temper at all and can only take the exam on his own.

However, she is not worried about not passing the exam. First, she has been confident after preparing for so many years. Second, Zhang Xuan had already vaguely promised that he would definitely help her.

With these two insurances in place, Zou Qingzhu didn't show much frustration even when he learned that he was defeated.

As for Wen Hui, she told her today's decision: I plan to return to Shanghai. If Sister Tao comes to Shanghai, I can entertain you.

Zou Qingzhu reacted the fastest: Huihui, have you made a decision?

Wen Hui hummed.

Zou Qingzhu's face was full of regret, and his heart suddenly felt half empty.

She has always regarded Shuang Ling and Wen Hui as real sisters, or rather, real sisters are not worth her efforts.

Although she knew that Wen Hui was considering it before, she still held out hope that Wen Hui would stay. She, her two actors, and Zhang Xuan were here.

Hearing Wenhui's decision, Du Shuangling had mixed feelings.

Du Shuangling understands that the most dangerous thing is when many things are out of sight.

Just like every time Zhang Xuan goes to the capital, he knows that he will go to see Mi Jian, but he can't stop him publicly.

In the same way, there are so many industries in Shanghai, including mobile phones and shopping malls. If he often goes to Shanghai, he will not be able to follow him every time.

The reason why she is happy is that Wen Hui has proved with her actions that she does not want to get involved with her feelings.

The reason for worry is that Wen Hui is more dangerous when out of her sight than under her own eyes.

At CUHK, Wenhui would have scruples, and she could play the emotional card herself, but once she went to the Shanghai stock market, everything would be out of control.

Du Shuangling's thoughts were changing, but he didn't show it. Instead, he sincerely comforted Wenhui to think about it again.

Zhang Xuan just glanced at Wen Hui, feeling neither happy nor worried, because he already knew that she would choose this way from the moment she left the classroom.

After dinner, Zhang Xuan, Tao Ge and Editor Hong went downstairs to the study.

Zhang Xuan took out all the manuscripts, spread them out on the table and said, Look at it and give me your opinions after reading it. I always feel that there is room for improvement.

When he saw the manuscript, Editor Hong didn't talk nonsense to him anymore and couldn't wait to start.

Tao Ge was not in a hurry, there was no point in hurrying, she had to wait until Chief Editor Hong finished the first volume before it would be her turn.

Seeing this, she took Zhang Xuan directly to the living room without disturbing Editor Hong's review.

As soon as he sat down, Tao Ge looked at him with a playful look.

Zhang Xuanbai glanced at him: Don't look at me like that. If you have anything to say, just say it.

Tao Ge asked in a low voice: Wen Hui was succeeded by you, right?

Zhang Xuan didn't bother to pay attention, just lay on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing him pretending to be dead, Tao Ge glanced at the door and put her long legs on his crotch.

One twist, one turn!

Zhang Xuan immediately trembled and sat up, Don't overdo it.

Tao Ge stopped and said, Satisfy sister's curiosity.

Zhang Xuan said angrily: Is Wen Hui that kind of person?

Tao Ge laughed and said, The Mi Jian and Xi Jie that I know are not that kind of people, but what's the result?

Zhang Xuan paused: Mi Jian and Wen Hui are different.

Tao Ge asked: Why is it different?

Zhang Xuan made a metaphor and said: If the world is going to be destroyed, and I can only save three people, they must be my mother, Shuang Ling and Mi Jian.

Tao Ge stared at him with dangerous eyes: Sister, you won't help me either?

Zhang Xuan waved his hand and answered simply and neatly: If you don't save me, I don't even plan to save myself, so why should I save you?

After observing him carefully, this is something Tao Ge has never figured out.

Among these three people, Ruan Xiuqin is better off because she is his mother after all.

But Du Shuangling and Mi Jian?

It would have been okay if Wenhui hadn't appeared. One was a childhood sweetheart and a real girlfriend; the other was a ceiling in temperament and appearance. There were irreplaceable reasons.

But Tao Ge felt that if he were a man, he would most likely choose Mi Jian and Wen Hui.

She believes that although Du Shuangling is a generous and virtuous woman, it does not mean that Mi Jian and Wenhui cannot do this.

In her opinion, Chacha Mijian and Wenhui are also good family wives, and they are simply men's treasures.

Of course, Tao Ge only thought about these words in his heart and would not say them out loud.

She had always had an intuition that if she hadn't been the one to arrange Du Shuangling's work, the man in front of her would definitely draw a line between him and her.

After being together for so long, Tao Ge can feel the special weight of Du Shuangling and Mi Jian in his heart.

This special weight cannot be replaced by other women.

It was precisely based on this judgment that Tao Ge did not force him to marry him, and did not use any means to get him.

Otherwise, she is attracted to this man, she is attracted to him, and she will definitely want him. Not to mention exclusive possession, at least she will find a way to get the position in the household registration book.

But just because he realized that he could not replace Du Shuangling and Mi Jian's position, Tao Ge always restrained himself. On weekdays, when he couldn't help himself, he would rather go to the bathroom to solve the problem himself than go to his bed.

Tao Ge asked: Why?

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling: I can't tell you.

Seeing how tight-lipped he was, Tao Ge wisely stopped asking questions, put down his hair and got down to business:

Some time ago, the American ABC TV station found me again, hoping to book the film and television rights for your next series of novels.

Zhang Xuan was delighted, You haven't given up yet?

Tao Ge nodded: Of course. If you are in China, you don't know how popular Game of Thrones is in the United States. ABC TV station is naturally extremely jealous.

Three days ago, HBO TV's finance department checked some accounting details with us. Last quarter, you were able to distribute approximately US$43 million in dividends, and this money will be paid in early January 1997.

Zhang Xuan calculated: 43 million U.S. dollars, which is 4 million U.S. dollars more than last time. Couldn't HBO have exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars in sales this season?

Tao Ge replied: It is estimated to be more than 1 billion US dollars, so ABC is jealous.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and said, If ABC TV is willing to wait, let me think about it after I finish working on The World.

Tao Ge raised his head: Do you have an idea?

Zhang Xuan murmured: I am a talented writer, and I am never short of good points.

The two chatted for a while, and then Du Shuangling, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu came down after finishing their work with dishes and chopsticks. The two of them became five people and they talked happily for a long time.

After 7 o'clock in the evening, Editor Hong finished reading the first book. Tao Ge immediately stopped communicating with a few people, got up and went to the study.

Zhang Xuan followed him inside and found that Tao Ge and Editor-in-Chief Hong were minding their own business watching The Human World and ignored him at all, and then walked out lifelessly.

The Human World is a long novel with a total of 1.1 million words. It took Chief Editor Hong and Tao Ge five days to read it.

Seeing the two people put down the last volume, Zhang Xuan asked nervously: How do you feel?

Tao Ge was still immersed in the world of the book and said nothing.

Editor-in-Chief Hong took a sip of hot tea and said quietly: Okay! It's rare to find a good work. This is completely at the level of the Mao Dun Literature Award.

Editor-in-Chief Hong means what he says sincerely.

He was surprised. He did not expect that Zhang Xuan could write traditional literature in such a profound and connotative way at such a young age.

After all, The World is different from The Rumor and Latent in terms of subject matter, story and writing techniques. This is a real effort to build hard power.

You must know that in China, traditional culture and this common people's life theme have long been mature. In other words, they have been written badly by many writers. Without a profound foundation, it is really difficult to stand out.

It is precisely for this reason that the rumours and lurking in the past two years have been criticized and criticized by some traditional scholars.

Hearing this comment, Zhang Xuan's heart finally dropped. Although the original work Human World itself is a Mao Dun Literature Award-winning work, it has very high attainments.

But I know my own affairs, and the works I have written now are far from the original works. It is not that the level is far different, but that there is a big difference in content.

Although they all describe the life history of ordinary people under the background of the big era.

But the original work takes place in the Northeast, and the story unfolds against the background of the Light Word Film in the civilian community.

The story of his work takes place in the south of the Yangtze River, using rural towns to describe the great changes in Chinese society and the beautiful qualities of tenacity, active struggle, and eternal optimism displayed by ordinary people when facing difficulties in life.
