1978 Synthetic Writers

Chapter 188 This team is easy to lead

Beijing Industrial Family Compound.

Doctor Liu poured a cup of tea for Zhu Lin's aunt Liu Tianxiang.

Liu Tianxiang held the teacup and gulped it down. "I told her mom, this time you picked another one for Linlin."

Doctor Liu frowned and interrupted, "Forget it, her aunt, let's not talk about this. I asked you to introduce a few people to Linlin. The first time you introduced a short guy, the second time you introduced a bald guy, the third time you introduced a lame guy, and the fourth time you introduced a paraplegic who smelled of urine. What kind of people did you introduce? Are you her real aunt? Why are you harming her like this?"

Liu Tianxiang looked apologetic, "This time it's really different. He's my uncle's colleague. You know my uncle's unit, it must be better than the previous ones."

"Okay, okay, okay." Doctor Liu waved his hands. "Don't worry about it. Linlin already has a partner, and they are both planning to get married."

"When did it happen?"

Liu Tianxiang was surprised. "I haven't heard of him. Where is he from? What does he do at home?"

“They are engaged in culture.”

"Cultural work? Cultural center?"

"Not from the Cultural Center, write something."

Zhu Hong interrupted with a proud look on her face, "My brother-in-law is a great writer."

Before she finished her words, the door curtain was lifted, and several workers carried the air conditioner indoor unit into the house.

"Hey, hey, hey? Who are you?" Doctor Liu suddenly became nervous and instinctively wanted to find a place to hide.

How can he be so casual just walking into the house without even saying hello?

So many years have passed, and you are copying things again?

"Mom." Zhu Lin followed in, carrying a bunch of things in her hands, and smiled, "This is the master Jiang Xian hired to install the air conditioner for our house."

"Air conditioning? Installing air conditioning at home?" Liu Tianxiang couldn't sit still, "We don't have air conditioning in our company!"

Doctor Liu was also confused. "Where's the air conditioner? Where did he get the air conditioner? Where did Jiang Xian get the air conditioner ticket?"

"He wrote articles for Hong Kong and earned some foreign exchange coupons. These air conditioners were imported from Japan, and he bought them with the foreign exchange coupons." Zhu Lin put down her things and explained to Dr. Liu with a smile.

"That will cost more money, right?" Dr. Liu was flattered.

People nowadays are not unfamiliar with air conditioners, as they have existed since the 60s. They were still very old-fashioned at the time, and looked like a wooden cabinet. The household penetration rate was extremely low. It was a big deal even for a unit to install one, let alone a family.

Not to mention that Jiang Xian made such a beautiful split air conditioner. Haier only made a split air conditioner in China in 1985. Later, Huabao made a split air conditioner. Did Huabao know about it? "Huabao air conditioner, always leading the way."

Zhu Hong was so excited that she jumped over to the group of teachers to take a closer look. "Brother-in-law is so nice! None of the students in our class have air conditioners at home!"

"Let alone your class, no one in our family compound has this at home." Doctor Liu sighed.

Looking at the reactions of her family, Zhu Lin couldn't help but feel excited and proud of the little man she had chosen.

“This thing is actually quite troublesome. I heard that to install it, you have to pay the power supply station.

Besides, we are all doctors in the family, don’t we know the truth? In the dog days of summer, we need to steam and sweat. You said that the electric fan will make you uncomfortable if you use it too much. Can it be good for your body if you use it for a long time?"

Liu Tianxiang muttered to herself, her eyes turning red and her feet ache.

Did he find something? What did he write? He just filled in the numbers with some money?!

"Yes, your aunt is right, you can't use the air conditioner all the time, hahaha." Doctor Liu couldn't suppress the smile and warned them with an occupational disease.

Every time she smiled, Liu Tianxiang felt her heart contract.

I must tell her brother-in-law about this matter today when I get home. In all these years, he has never given her an air conditioner, let alone an electric fan.

"Aunt Liu."

Jiang Xian walked in majestically and greeted Doctor Liu, "Is Uncle Zhu not here?"

"He went out to play chess and will be back soon." Doctor Liu slapped his forehead, "Oh, Zhu Hong, go and call your father back, and go to your uncle Wu's house."

"Hey."

Zhu Hong stood in front of Jiang Xian coquettishly, called out "Hello, brother-in-law", and then went out happily. Soon, she and Professor Zhu entered the room one after another.

As soon as Professor Zhu came in, he found the center of the room.

"This blanket is made of wool, woven by hand, stitch by stitch. Feel the material and look at the color."

Jiang Xian, like a popular girl, introduced the blanket in his hand to Dr. Liu and sister Liu Tianxiang.

"Good stuff, really good stuff, you can feel it out just by touching it." Doctor Liu was so happy.

"This blanket is good, but it's not breathable. It makes people feel hot and feverish in the middle of the night." Liu Tianxiang said sourly.

Zhu Hong: "Why not just turn on the air conditioner?"

The technician from the Friendship Store installed the air conditioner quickly.

As soon as I turned it on, the air conditioner started to run, and a cool breeze hit my skin comfortably, and the July heat disappeared instantly.

"Wow, it's so comfortable?" Doctor Liu was surprised. "This feeling is really different from that of an electric fan!"

"That, that's not good for your health either," Liu Tianxiang reminded quietly. Her skin felt cool from the breeze, but her lungs felt as if there was a balloon inflating.

She didn't have any bad intentions, she was also happy for Zhu Lin's family, but human nature is like this, a child would be more anxious and want to cry if he had one less candy than others, as for the lethality of this air conditioner at this moment, it's hard to describe how great it is.

"Xiao Jiang, how is this appropriate?"

Professor Zhu listened to Dr. Liu's explanation and felt ashamed. "This is too expensive. It's not appropriate, not appropriate."

"Uncle Zhu, it's already been installed. I can't let them take it down again. Besides, we're a family from now on. This is just my and Linlin's way of showing filial piety to you two." Jiang Xian's little mouth was so sweet.

"It's okay, Mr. Zhu. The child is so kind." Doctor Liu persuaded.

When he gave Professor Zhu the chicken blood seal, he was so satisfied that he couldn't be more satisfied.

He held the stone in his hand with a smile on his face, playing with it for a long time, and refused to put it down. "Let's have dinner at home tonight. Let your Aunt Liu cook some delicious dishes, and we can have a good drink together."

The family here is so happy that the neighbors outside can't sit still.

"Mr. Zhu, your family knows how to enjoy life. Why do you even have an air conditioner?"

"Where did you get the ticket?"

"This looks pretty good, it's a split type, and this technology is not available in China yet."

The neighbors looked at the indoor unit, then went out to look at the outdoor unit. Professor Zhu was beaming with joy. These neighbors were all colleagues from his school. After asking around for a while and making a fuss at home for a long time, they left, looking back every few steps, their eyes red.

The Zhu family heard every word and every sentence clearly. They wanted to take a notebook to write it down, go back and study it repeatedly to find out what mistakes were and expose them to his family.

Doctor Liu naturally thought of these things and faced them calmly. If you have the ability, you can let your daughter find a man like mine. Apart from anything else, your daughter must be as beautiful as mine.

"Have you two set a date?" Professor Zhu tasted the Remy Martin that Jiang Xian brought him. It tasted a bit strange and he couldn't get used to it.

"The end of this month, right?" Jiang Xian looked at the date and it was July 1980, 7, which was June 31th of the Gengshen year.

It is suitable for marriage, matchmaking, engagement, learning skills, engagement, bed preparation, and bathing.
"it is good."

"Uncle Zhu, when the time comes, let's go to Quanjude and have a meal together."

"No problem. I haven't seen your parents for a long time."

Nowadays, people don’t make such a big deal about it. There’s no fuss. A wedding is just a quiet meal between the two families.

Jiang Xian discussed some details with Professor Zhu and Doctor Liu. This was considered a "discuss". The two elders were very happy and satisfied.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I wish you a happy marriage." Zhu Hong was drinking Coca-Cola. She couldn't get used to it. It was like medicine to her, but the more she drank, the more she got addicted.

Professor Zhu, Doctor Liu and Liu Tianxiang also raised their glasses to express their congratulations.

Jiang Xian and Zhu Lin looked at each other with delight on their faces, and unconsciously clasped their hands under the table.

Zhang Leping's illustrations were finally sent to him. Jiang Xian took a look and thought he was truly a master, with very good drawings. He would definitely keep these dozen original manuscripts as treasures after Renwen Publishing House had used them up.

Renwen Press was also shocked. Li Jingfeng slammed the table and clapped his hands, "You even got an appointment with Zhang Leping? You're going to ask Huang Yongyu to write your next book?"

"It's not that we can't give it a try." Jiang Xian nodded seriously.

Huang Yongyu was Qian Zhongshu's neighbor and Shen Congwen's cousin. Even the pen name Huang Yongyu was given to him by his uncle Shen Congwen. He also participated in the design of the famous "Gengshen Year" Monkey Stamp.

This is also an old naughty boy from "Xiangxi", very interesting. He is over 90 years old. He writes articles in the morning, paints in the afternoon, watches "If You Are the One" on weekends, and drives a Ferrari.

If there is a chance, Jiang Xian would also like to make friends with him.

"How about coming to Film Creation to be the deputy editor-in-chief?" Jiang Huaiyan asked him seriously.

"Me?" Jiang Xian couldn't believe it. "This is too careless."

"Director Wang and I have discussed this in detail, and we both agree that Film Creation can be developed into the next Popular Film in your hands."

"Forget it." Jiang Xian frowned and handed Jiang Huaiyan a Marlboro cigarette. "I have too much to do, and the deputy editor-in-chief has to take care of daily work and review scripts. I can't handle it."

Jiang Huaiyan had been abroad and smoked Marlboro before. Seeing that Jiang Xian was smoking this kind of cigarettes, he felt helpless and asked, "Would you really not consider it?"

"I just can't figure it out."

"Think about it carefully." Jiang Huaiyan said earnestly, "You don't have to be responsible for the daily work. You can exercise the editor-in-chief authority. I will leave the entire Film Creation to you. You can arrange for your subordinates to do the review and manuscript compilation work."

Jiang Xian hesitated for a while, "Then let me discuss something with you."

Jiang Huaiyan was overjoyed to see that he finally gave in. He nodded repeatedly, "Go ahead!"

"."

After Jiang Xian finished making his request, Jiang Huaiyan laughed a few times.

"You don't even need to discuss this little thing with me. I'll arrange it for you. But you have to accept the position of deputy editor-in-chief!"

He was very puzzled.

Is our "Film Creation" a magazine that is not worth mentioning?
Is our deputy editor-in-chief a hot potato?

If I ask you, Jiang Xian, to take up a position, do you have to make the head of the literature department kneel down and beg him?
The formalities were completed quickly, and the editorial office of "Film Creation" was located on the east third floor of the main building of the Beijing Film Studio, next to the Department of Literature.

Jiang Xian was dressed more formally, with his hair combed like an adult. Led by Jiang Huaiyan, he went to the editorial department. There were seven or eight people in total, and several of them also served as editors of the literature department.

Jiang Huaiyan called all the editors over.

"Come, let me introduce you to the new deputy editor-in-chief of our Film Creation, Comrade Jiang Xian."

He was a celebrity in the Beijing Film Studio. Even if Jiang Huaiyan hadn't introduced him, several editors of Film Creation basically knew him.

"Comrade Jiang Xian!" Several comrades shook hands with him.

Jiang Xian took a look and saw that the expressions of these people were enthusiastic and clear. It was obvious that they were just blockheads who were incapable of ideological struggle and were unfamiliar with political construction.

Well, this team is easy to lead.

Since he agreed to take charge of Film Creation, he certainly doesn't want the magazine to decline.

Let’s set a small goal first, to make Film Creation, a magazine that is getting worse every year, half the size of Popular Film.

By then, his voice in the entertainment industry will also increase.

Jiang Huaiyan introduced several editors to him, "This is Comrade Shan Fengchun, this is Comrade Tang Jinchi, this is Comrade Liang Xiaosheng, this is Cao Hongxiang, and this is Mr. Chen Che, the art editor and layout designer."

Ok?
It seemed as if some extraordinary figure flashed by.

Jiang Xian looked at one of the men who was thin and slightly bald.

Liang Xiaosheng's representative work is "The World". "The World" is a reproduction of his life journey. The prototype of the protagonist Zhou Bingkun is his fourth brother.

Not only him, there is also a younger-looking Cao Hongxiang, whose representative work is "Kyoto Ball Hero", played by Chen Peisi.

He quickly called them over to talk about work and asked about their well-being.

Cao Hongxiang has just graduated a few years ago and has no future for development. It will be enough for Palu to write scripts for him.

Liang Xiaosheng has a lot of work experience, is older, and is a steady person. His family is in financial difficulty, and it's obvious that he has a strong desire to improve himself, making him worthy of Jiang Xian's key training.

He also seconded Zhong Acheng, an unemployed young man, to the editorial department of "Film Creation".

This incident made Acheng's mother, Deputy Secretary Zhang, very grateful. Although Acheng was her son, she had no way to solve his employment problem.

Jiang Xian certainly made a huge profit this time. The character Zhong Acheng is an SSR in the game.

Not to mention reviewing manuscripts and writing scripts, once he arrived, he could do all the work of art editing and page layout design. He could also be a reporter because he could take pictures, and even write film reviews because his father Zhong Dianwei was the best film critic in the country.

With him and Liang Xiaosheng as his two generals, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Jiang's work became much easier.
