"Aunt Han, Aunt Sun, I'm really sorry for making your trip go to waste."
"Don't say that. Your aunt is so embarrassed right now that she is causing trouble for you every day. Okay, don't give it away."
"Then you guys go slowly!"
At the gate of the Chu family, after sending Aunt Sun and others away, Chu Heng and his wife turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Xiao Ni held her husband's arm, rubbing it, frowning slightly, and sighed: "Hey, I didn't help at all, why do I feel so uncomfortable?"
Chu Heng turned his head to look at his depressed wife, shook his head helplessly, and said comfortingly: "What's so uncomfortable about this? The prerequisite for helping others is that you don't feel embarrassed, right? As for today's matter, I really want to agree to it.
, do you believe that we two have to be scolded to death?"
"Too."
Ni Yinghong nodded, quickly put the matter behind her, and ran to the main room to watch TV.
And the troubles between the couple have only just begun.
Not long after Sun Mei and others left, another guest came to the Chu family. It was an employee of the Grain Management Office, named Zou Xiaozhong. Needless to say, the purpose of the visit was for the five places.
This person did not have the right to participate in the lottery because of insufficient qualifications. Therefore, his purpose in finding Chu Heng this time was not to ask for a house directly, but to participate in the lottery. For this reason, he also bought two large front doors and
Two bottles of Xifeng wine as gifts.
But Chu Heng didn't even agree to an old relationship with Sun Mei, so how could he agree to it?
Therefore, he was not polite to the other party, and directly drove the person away with a sullen face, and threw the gift away.
In the next few days, Chu Heng and his wife never stopped. People came to their door to ask for help, either to ask for connections or to send heavy gifts. The purpose was either to get one of the five places, or to
I just want to participate in the lottery despite not being qualified enough.
Ouch.
This couple is so annoyed that they almost want to hit someone.
This day.
In order to avoid harassment, Chu Heng hurried out of home after eating early in the morning and ran to the dormitory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to hide.
At this moment, in a clean and bright office, Chu Heng was concentrating on reading a manuscript. There were four more copies on the desk in front of him.
So far, the gunner's selection activity is coming to an end. He has finally selected five out of more than a hundred manuscripts. All he has to do is to pick one out of these five.
That’s it.
However, this job is not easy. The five manuscripts he finally selected are all very good in terms of writing skills and plot control. They just have their own advantages and disadvantages in some other aspects, but no matter which one they are
, are all available.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to choose for a while.
Time passed by unconsciously, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
Chu Heng finally finished reading these five manuscripts. He frowned and put the manuscripts in his hands on the table, his eyes wandering over these manuscripts, hesitating.
"Who should I choose?"
"Crunch!"
Just when he was worried, the office door was pushed open, and Jiang Fanghao, Che Xiaobao, and Qian Jiefang walked in. The former two each carried several lunch boxes containing meals packed from state-owned restaurants, and the latter
He was carrying two bottles of Erguotou.
"It's time to eat, team leader."
Several people sat down around the desk and put the things in their hands on the table.
"How's it going? Team leader, have you been elected?" Jiang Fanghao asked Chu Heng curiously as he opened the lunch boxes one by one.
"That's almost it."
Chu Heng breathed out and reached out to take the chopsticks handed over by Qian Jiefang.
"You should hold on tight." Che Xiaobao put a glass of wine in front of him and couldn't help complaining: "If you didn't make a good choice today, those people will not be able to settle down all day. Now everyone has no thoughts.
It’s created, and I’m waiting for any news from you.”
"How about you teach me how to do things?" Chu Heng glanced at this guy.
Che Xiaobao shrank his neck in fear and quickly picked up the wine glass: "No, no, how dare I? Drink, uncle, I respect you."
"I think you really need to take care of yourself!"
Chu Heng turned his head with an unkind look on his face, and did not give him any trouble. After holding the wine glass and clinking it with a few people, he chatted and ate and drank.
After almost half an hour, several people had eaten and drank enough.
Che Xiaobao and Qian Jiefang took their lunch boxes and went out to wash, while Jiang Fanghao also ran out to find a place to rest.
Chu Heng continued to flip through the manuscript, making difficult choices.
It wasn't until the lunch break was over and others started working that he finally made a decision and selected a manuscript.
This manuscript was written by the author of the science fiction novel that was highly praised by Qian Jiefang. His name is Ao Tongshu. He is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has the experience of studying abroad at Oxford University, where the sun never sets. He specializes in gynecology.
master……
I don’t know what this guy thinks, but in this relatively conservative era, he actually studied gynecology.
But this has nothing to do with Chu Heng, and the reason why he chose Ao Tongshu's manuscript was because his writing style was very similar to the original work.
"Okay, that's it!"
After making the decision, Chu Heng no longer hesitated. After putting away the other four copies, he got up and walked outside the office. When he was about to go to the warehouse to find someone, he saw Jiang Fanghao coming out of a room yawning.
"Lao Jiang." He immediately shouted: "Go and bring Ao Tongshu to me."
"Have you made your choice?" Jiang Fanghao suddenly became energetic.
"right."
Chu Heng turned around and went back to the office, lit a cigarette, and waited quietly for someone to come.
Not long after.
Jiang Fanghao brought Ao Tongshu. He looked very thin and a bit frail. He wore a pair of thick glasses, his skin was slightly dark, and his beard was sparse. He was wearing a suit full of patches and his hair was washed.
White blue overalls.
"Come, sit down." Chu Heng took a look at Ao Tongshu, who looked quite excited, and pointed to the chair next to him with a smile.
"well!"
Ao Tongshu hurriedly came forward and sat down, looking at him with deep eyes without blinking, feeling nervous and expectant in his heart.
Chu Heng took out another cigarette and handed it over, then said calmly: "I just finished reading your manuscript. It is indeed very good and meets my requirements, so I plan to give this novel to you.
Write, are you okay?"
"No problem, I didn't ask for pictures!"
Ao Tongshu was immediately ecstatic and stood up with a roar. He pulled Chu Heng excitedly and said hurriedly: "Thank you, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not let down your trust!"
"Don't get excited yet, listen to what I have to say." Chu Heng smiled understandingly, asked him to sit down again, and then continued: "This book is of great use to me, so when it is published, I can't
Add your name in the author column, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
"No, absolutely not." Ao Tongshu shook his head vigorously. He had suffered so much and had nothing else to think about. He just wanted to reunite with his family and live a peaceful life. The author's false reputation didn't matter at all.
Forget about not taking him with you, it doesn’t matter if you change his name to a dog!
