"Teacher Yu, you are serious in your words. I was just talking casually. I don't mean to persuade people to leave their hometown." Xu Wei said with a smile.
Being interrupted like this by Yu Dongyu, Xu Wei couldn't continue what he was going to say.
In fact, the reason why Xu Weiqian said this was because of his impromptu idea. A few days ago, their newspaper had just reached a cooperation with the School of Liberal Arts of Yanjing University of Humanities, and caught up with a wave of competition for talents. He took advantage of the situation and brought it up. If possible, he could
Zhang Zhongla came to Yanjing, and their Youth Newspaper had completed some hidden tasks.
Nowadays, the competition for talents in various localities is fierce. Since last year, 53 cities across the country, plus three provinces, have introduced more than 100 new policies to attract talents, with the second-tier cities being the most popular.
As the most prosperous city, Yanjing is also under some pressure. Although there is no brain drain at present, strategic preparations for rainy days are also necessary.
It wasn't long after Zhang Chong came back and he hadn't paid attention to the relevant news, so he was still a little confused when Xu Biao suddenly said this.
But they didn't talk about it again afterwards.
In the following time, they mostly asked Zhang Zhong some questions. Everyone present was quite curious about Zhang Zhong, after all, this was his first appearance.
After chatting for a while, the atmosphere at the table gradually became harmonious, and everyone was not as cautious as they were at the beginning.
During the meal, everyone had tea instead of wine. Not long after eating, people at other tables came over to propose a toast.
As Yu Dongyu introduced before, half of the people here are staff members of Youth Daily, and the other half are writers.
The staff came to toast, and although they were congratulating Zhang Zhong, most of their attention was focused on the leaders at this table.
Even if Zhang Zhonggang won the grand prize, in their eyes, it was far less important to them than the other eight people on this table.
Everyone knew it tacitly, so when they came over, Wan Shijie and the others didn't even bother to introduce him.
When those writers came over to toast, their introductions had to be more detailed.
Zhang Zhong had never heard of some of these writers at all, but there were also some whom, although he had never seen them, he had heard their names and read their books.
For example, there is a female writer in her early fifties named Chi Qing. When Zhang Zhong was in high school, he read her famous work "The End of Sorrow Is Sadness", which is a love novel. Zhang Zhong, who was young and ignorant at the time, read
It was also enjoyable to watch.
But apart from that book, Zhang Zhong never read her works again. Later, it was said that she had been writing campus love stories.
Some people criticized her, and their words were harsh and vicious, saying that it was really inappropriate for her to be an old monster at such an old age and still write campus love stories.
Zhang Zhong thinks it's okay. No one has stipulated that people can't write love stories when they are old. Looking at ancient and modern times, many of those who write about love and love are not young people. The Yan Jidao of the graceful school is already old, but he can still write it.
Write words like "I miss you for a long time, I miss you for a long time. If you ask me how long I'll miss you, it won't last until I meet you."
In addition to Chi Qing, there was another person who impressed Zhang Zhong deeply. His name was Zhao Re, who was only in his thirties this year.
When he was only seventeen years old, his novella "The Princes of Chaos" caused quite a sensation. It is said that the sales volume in that year exceeded 4.5 million copies.
However, it may be that becoming famous at such a young age inevitably hurt Zhongyong. Later, he released many works one after another, but none of them were as good as his debut. Some people ridiculed him and said that "the debut is the peak."
Zhang Ailing said that you should become famous as early as possible, but sometimes becoming famous early may not be a good thing.
Everyone comes to toast Zhang Chongjiu with a different mood. Some people are curious, some people just say a few irrelevant words, and some people look a little lonely, and Zhao Re is
The one who looks lonely.
"Zhang Zhong, congratulations." When Zhao Re came over to toast, his eyes were full of wine and smiles.
It seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine. When he walked up to him, Zhang Zhong could clearly smell the alcohol on his body.
"Thank you, thank you very much." Zhang Zhong said.
"I'm a little older than you. You won't mind if I call you Brother Zhang."
Zhang Zhong smiled, it seemed that Zhao Re was really a little drunk.
"Don't mind."
Zhao Re smiled and said, "Okay, brother Zhang, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drained the white wine in the glass in one sip. Their wine glasses were of the three-liang type. When Zhao Re came over, the wine glass was two-thirds full, so this sip was equivalent to two-liang wine.
Belly.
"Brother Zhao, please take it easy." Zhang Zhong said quickly.
Zhao Re waved his hand, "It's okay, my drinking capacity is okay, I don't take this drink seriously, your friend can do it, we will keep in touch in the future, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he staggered back to his table.
Yu Dongyu laughed at the side and said, "Zhao Re, he still looks like he is not stingy."
Zhang Zhong said worriedly, "He drank so much, is he okay?"
"It's okay. He does this often. Besides, Lao Wan and the others will take good care of him." After saying that, Yu Dongyu sighed again, "Oh, if he quit drinking, he would probably be a different person."
Zhang Zhong asked curiously, "How do you say this?"
In his opinion, the reason why Zhao Re is like this is because his literary career is not going smoothly, but according to Yu Dongyu's meaning, it's the other way around?
"He does have some talent, but the bad thing is that he started too high, which caused his morale to get high. Although his second book is not as good as the first, it is still a masterpiece. For a teenager
It can be said to be very good. But this is also due to the media at the time. The results of the second book were mediocre. There were extensive reports in newspapers and TV, saying that Zhao Lang had exhausted his talents and Wen Quxing had fallen. He was in his teens.
How can a child of 20 years old listen to it? As time goes by, it becomes like this." Yu Dongyu's tone was filled with regret, after all, such a good piece of jade was ruined like this.
Zhang Dian nodded and asked, "Is he still engaged in creation now?"
"Well, why don't you do it? But I usually write bounty articles to earn some subsidies."
"That's not true. He should have earned a lot of royalties from his manuscripts before." Zhang Zhong said with some surprise.
Yu Dongyu nodded and said, "It's indeed a lot, but it's not enough for him. When he drinks, he drinks high-end drinks. The previous month's drinking cost was more than ten or two hundred thousand. No matter how much the royalties are, it's not enough for him to spend."
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Zhong with a smile, "But your royalties should be enough. With more than 100,000 yuan a month for drinking, you should be able to drink for a lifetime."
Zhang Zhong also laughed, "Each other, each other."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The other people at the same table looked over, wondering why the two of them suddenly laughed.
But the laughter sounded real and refreshing.
Of course it was refreshing, after all, it was the laughter coming from two rich people.
