Chapter 173 Betrayal of G’s life

After work that day, Lin Weimin met Wang Shuo, who had not been seen for a long time. He came to Lin Weimin specifically.

"Hey, isn't this Master Shuo? I haven't seen you for so long, I thought you died in the south." Lin Weimin said sarcastically.

Wang Shuo retorted not to be outdone. After joking for a few times, he finally expressed his intention.

This guy followed Xie Jingnan to sell electronic watches last year and made some serious money. He plans to open a restaurant recently.

The hotel will be opening tomorrow, and I plan to invite Lin Weimin to support it.

"I asked you, why do you keep working so hard? Opening a restaurant is hard work!" Lin Weimin said.

"Why isn't it hard work? Turning around with electronic watches is not a long-term solution after all. Aren't I also looking for a regular job?"

"Not bad, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, we have made progress!" Lin Weimin patted Wang Shuo on the shoulder.

"Get out of here, uncle. Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, the restaurant will be in Shawo'er, called Tianfu Restaurant."

Lin Weimin modified Zhang Yimou's "Speak Well". That movie was set in the 1990s. Lin Weimin changed it to the 1980s, and the plot was also greatly changed, but the core remained unchanged.

Lin Weimin laughed heartily at this time and said: "Teacher Rong is still very good. He speaks allusions and taught us another lesson."

When it comes to the understanding of novels, Yao Shuzhi’s success as an editor is not as good as Rong Shihui’s, who has been working as an editor all his life.

Lin Weimin came in with a flower basket. Wang Shuo and Xie Jing were already busy in the store. They were very enthusiastic when they saw Lin Weimin. He was the first one to come today.

Zhuangzi's remarks back then are naturally far-fetched when used to explain the meaning of "novel", but they exactly point out the essence of novels.

Lin Weimin smiled and said: "I am breaking into the enemy's interior. I have consulted with the leader for instructions."

The first private restaurant in Yanjing City started operating in the 1980s, so it is now a legal business for individuals to operate restaurants.

At this time, Rong Shihui put down the pen in his hand and said, "I don't agree with Xiao Yao's opinion."

After a long time, the food and drinks were served one after another. Wang Shuo and the two waiters kept passing the dishes around. Lin Weimin joked: "When someone opens a restaurant, he will be the manager after all when he prints business cards. Why did he become a waiter when he came to your place?"

The sand nest is not far from Wukesong, and in later generations it belonged to the West Fourth Ring Road.

"It's different from your previous novels."

Yao Shuzhi said: "Teacher Rong, it is not wrong to pursue grand propositions and criticality. If you say so, you are overgeneralizing."

Rong Shihui smiled and said, "Why don't you sound like you are complimenting me?"

Lin Weimin searched along both sides of the road for a long time, and finally found the Tianfu Restaurant that Wang Shuo mentioned.

The two started bickering, and the atmosphere of the slightly serious discussion became more relaxed.

"Okay, I'll be there tomorrow."

Time flies to May, the third issue of "Contemporary" this year has just been released, and the atmosphere in the editorial office is relaxed.

After agreeing to Wang Shuo, Lin Weimin rode his motorcycle at around eight o'clock the next morning and bought two flower baskets before heading to Wang Shuo's hotel.

Zhu Changsheng said at this time: "Weimin, I just finished reading your novel."

The restaurant has just opened its doors now and has hired a Sichuan cook and two waiters, including Wang Shuo and Xie Jing, that's all.

"Get out of here, uncle!" Wang Shuo cursed with a smile and waved goodbye to Lin Weimin.

This phenomenon is similar to what Lin Weimin expected. Each type of work has its own different audience. He does not insist that his works must be widely popular.

As a result, the store was quite lively, and the shouts of these young men could be heard on the street, but no one dared to come in to eat.

The happiness 250 parked at the door was also bought by the two of them, which shows the relationship between Wang Shuo and Xie Jing.

"The essence of fiction? What is it?"

"Come on, come on, eat quickly! Eat quickly! Don't be polite, everyone!"

"That's right. Just tell me how you feel?"

Lin Weimin was the biggest celebrity he could invite today. He introduced Lin Weimin to this group of friends who had grown up together, and received enthusiastic support from everyone. Wang Shuo couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Xian" is the ancient word "Xuan", which means high; "Ling" means beauty, and "Qian" means pursuit. It means holding a small fishing rod and fishing line and running between the irrigation ditches, and you can only catch loaches.

Small fish like this, but it is difficult to get big fish.

Wang Shuo and Xie Jing are partners in the restaurant, and they did not take over the electronic watch business. Now the two of them work together, one of them looks after the store, and the other goes to Yangcheng to purchase goods. In this way, they do not waste time.

.

"This is certainly not wrong, but it ignores the essence of the novel."

Trivial remarks and trivial meanings are exactly what a novel should mean.

Lin Weimin did not insist anymore, but patted him on the shoulder, "Come to me on the day when you lose all your underwear, and I'll treat you to a meal!"

Liu Yin took a copy of "Zhongshan" he had just bought and threw it on Lin Weimin's desk, "Comrade Weimin, you are betraying G's destiny!"

With the popularity of "Zhongshan", "Have Something to Say" has received more and more attention. The style of this work is very different from Lin Weimin's previous works, which has impressed countless readers.

After taking photos, Tianfu Restaurant is officially opened.

I am not opposed to grand narratives, nor to so-called profundity and criticism, but these things must be built on a solid foundation, otherwise they are just superficial, a castle built on the beach, which will be exposed as soon as the sea water comes.

His true colors."

Regarding the evaluation of Lin Weimin's "Speak Well", the editorial board's opinions are not unanimous.

In the editorial office of "Zhongshan" far away in Jinling, Yu Zhaohuai couldn't help but smile as he looked at the subscription information collected from post offices and bookstores in various places.

Several people looked at him, and he took off his reading glasses, "I think Weimin is a very bold attempt this time. In recent years, our literary creation seems to have fallen into a strange circle, either praising something or criticizing something.

What, words like profound, soul, and thoughts are all used in this way, which dazzles people. It seems profound, but in fact it is divorced from reality and only pursues vanity."

Xie Jing arranged tables for everyone, while Wang Shuo went to help in the kitchen. On the first day of the restaurant's opening, it was going to be very lively, so let everyone help to make it popular.

"How is it?" Lin Weimin asked.

Because of the gimmick of publishing "Lin Weimin's latest masterpiece", the sales of the latest issue of "Zhongshan" have been rising steadily, and the momentum is obviously much stronger than previous issues.

Lin Weimin nodded noncommittally.

It's said to be a restaurant, but it sounds like a human meat bun shop. Who dares to enter?

Lin Weimin was not familiar with everyone, so he said goodbye to Wang Shuo and Xie Jing after dinner. Wang Shuo sent him out, and Lin Weimin thrust a big unity sheet to him, but Wang Shuo insisted not to accept it.

The building is an ordinary street-side residential house these days, which has been converted into a hotel. The decoration is in line with the characteristics of this era.

"Weimin's "If You Have Something to Say" just breaks this false inertia and allows the novel to return to the essence of narrative."

After setting off the firecrackers, a group of people crowded in front of the hotel to take photos. Lin Weimin was arranged by Wang Shuo to be in the middle.

The fact that he can come today can be regarded as supporting Wang Shuo's situation.

Lin Weimin, the so-called "big boss in Beijing circles" who would be familiar to later generations, was not seen. At this time, Wang Shuo was not the ruffian writer who was famous all over the world.

Yao Shuzhi interjected: "I think what you wrote this time is average. It's just a trivial matter. It's too unthinking to talk about it over and over again."

This time the work was published in "Zhongshan", and he specifically told Qin Chaoyang that "Zhongshan" had been kind to him, and this time he regarded it as repaying the favor.

In the early 1980s, when scar literature was very popular in the literary world, absurd and exquisite stories like "If You Have Something to Say" were like a clear stream, exuding a unique temperament.

Wang Shuo was beaming today, "We don't care about that, it's all our own business, why are we pretending to be grandsons!"

"Teacher Rong, this is because you are overthinking. I am sincere."

Opening "Zhongshan", his latest novel "If You Have Something to Say" is posted on it. It is the novel that he promised Yu Zhaohuai to write for another half a year.

Wang Shuo disagreed, "We are all friends. You help me and I will help you. To accept money would hurt our feelings."

"It gives me the feeling that it is small but refined, and it is obviously a long novel..." Zhu Changsheng had a somewhat tangled look on his face.

"The word "novel" was first seen in "Zhuangzi: Foreign Things": The husband is tired of uncovering the poles, drinking water, and guarding the trout, so it is difficult for him to catch a big fish; the novel is decorated as a county magistrate, and it is also far away from Dada.

He is the editor of "Contemporary". To avoid suspicion, he cannot publish his works in "Contemporary". But "Contemporary" belongs to the Chinese Literature Society. Can his works be allowed to flow to outsiders?

This is great news for "Zhongshan" which just underwent a revision at the beginning of this year.

"How can you do business like this? If you open the door for business, even if your own father comes, you still have to pay, otherwise you will lose all your underwear."

Wang Shuo worked hard to get everyone to eat and drink, and liven up the atmosphere. It was the first day of the opening, so he had to trick a few tables of customers.

While they were chatting, many friends came to Tianfu Restaurant. They were all friends of Wang Shuo and Xie Jing who grew up in the compound.

Editor-in-chief Hai Xiao praised: "Zhaohuai, you have made a great contribution to our editorial department this time."

"You want to thank Xie Lin Weimin. Without his burst of inspiration, I would not have achieved such good results if I had to write the short story that I promised into a full length."

"Haha, that's right!"
