1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 88: It is better to provoke than to please, but it is not that exciting!
"Old Feng, are you and your family going out again?!"

"Look, Li Qingquan from Yanjing Literature came to visit me and invited me to his place, saying that he wanted to hold a symposium on The Shepherd!"

"I'm busy all day, how can I have the time to go and sit with him?"

After giving Li Qingquan a cold look, Mr. Qian, who was too concerned about his reputation, looked at Mr. and Mrs. Feng who were coming over and greeted them with a smug look on his face!

"Really, Old Qian? Old Li came to invite you to a symposium!? I said it shouldn't be a quarrel! Old Li came to visit you, and Old Qian, you can still quarrel with him, right?"

Feng's mother spoke sharply to Lao Qian, saying that this guy was famous for being too concerned about his reputation.

"Teacher Gu, you are joking. How can you make a scene when you are a guest?"

Mr. Qian's face turned red with shame, and he kept waving his hands to explain, "It really wasn't a quarrel just now, right?"
At the same time, he quickly glared at Li Qingquan and asked, "Why are you silent now, old man?"

It would be good to repeat those flattering words you just said!

No better!
Call the woman from the Feng family "Mr. Qian" again!
"No, no, no! Teacher Gu, Old Feng, are you guys going out?! I'm just here to visit Old... Old Qian, to see him!"

Li Qingquan was put on the fire rack by Lao Qian again, and he quickly followed and greeted him.

"I really have to pay you a visit! Old Qian has been talking about you a lot before, Old Li!"

Mother Feng nodded and said in agreement.

"what?!"

Li Qingquan was stunned again. Has Old Qian been talking about him, Li Qingquan, a lot these days?
This, this, this... there must be something bad going on here!

No wonder as soon as he arrived, Old Qian treated him with indifference and almost chased him out with a broom.

Mother Feng wanted to continue to play tricks on Old Qian. She was really angry at the old man for criticizing her, Gu Xueqing's son-in-law, so much!

However, she was secretly stopped by Feng's father who was standing next to her and shook her head secretly, saying that it was enough!

They are all well-known figures in the cultural circle. There is no need for them to "come to the rescue" just because of an article!
If Feng's mother continues to provoke and provoke like this!

Whether it is Li Qingquan from Yenching Literature or Lao Qian in the courtyard, they must be offended to death.

"Oh, right, Lao Li! Lao Qian just said that you came here to invite him to your Yenching Literature Forum?!"

Mother Feng shook off the corner of her clothes that was being held by Father Feng, and continued to ask Li Qingquan with a smile.

"Ah! Teacher Gu, I came here today specifically to invite Mr. Qian to visit our Yanjing Literature Club!"

Li Qingquan followed what Feng's mother said and nodded repeatedly.

"That's right!"

Feng's mother nodded and said no more, which really made Li Qingquan feel unsure. What did she mean by "this is right"?

"Um... Mr. Gu, what do you mean by that? Shouldn't I come to invite Mr. Qian in person?"

Li Qingquan most likely gave Lao Qian enough face, not wanting him to lose face in front of Lao Feng.

Don’t be too flattering when calling him “Mr. Qian”.

"Do not care!"

Lao Qian shook his head and said that he still had to pretend when the time came!

"Oh! It's indeed what he should do! After all, what is Mr. Qian's status and position?"

"My Lao Feng is much worse!"

"Don't even mention waiting for your editor-in-chief Li from Yanjing Literature to come visit you personally. As far as I know, editor-in-chief Li hasn't even said hello to my old Feng yet, right?"

"And I, Gu Xueqing, am not qualified to be invited by Yanjing Literature in the magazine and newspaper industry!"

"what!?"

Li Qingquan was still dumbfounded. How could he wait for him here?!

"No?! You didn't invite Old Feng and Teacher Gu either? Are you, Li Qingquan, really drifting without a trace now?"

Old Qian just saw Old Feng helping him and holding his wife back.

Otherwise, a fast-talking and famous speaker like Mr. Gu would definitely have talked about the fact that he wrote an article out of anger to criticize Li Qingquan's "The Shepherd" of Yenching Literature.

Old Qian couldn’t understand why this woman from the Feng family was always so weird?

I provoked him before I reviewed "The Horse Wrangler", and now that he has reviewed it, I am trying to harass him!

It would be fine if he only tried to flatter Li Qingquan, but Mr. Gu, his sworn enemy, would definitely be unhappy with him.

But this time he chose a critical angle and severely criticized Li Qingquan.

Isn't this what Teacher Gu wants?
How come the nose isn't a nose?!
Could it be that the criticism was not profound enough and Teacher Gu was not satisfied with his manuscript?
That’s okay too!
Didn’t Li Qingquan invite him to some stupid symposium?

Anyway, aren’t we all going to go to his Yenching Literature Academy and attend Li Qingquan’s symposium?

Then I will criticize you harshly at the symposium in front of you, Teacher Gu. The criticism will be on point and profound, leaving you, Teacher Gu, speechless!

but!

What's the situation now? Li Qingquan didn't even invite Lao Feng and Teacher Gu?

This... shouldn't be the case!?

Teacher Gu, she is a well-known editor in the magazine and newspaper industry, and a sharp commentator in the review circle. Why don’t you invite her to your Yenching Literature symposium?

There is no need to mention Lao Feng, the chief editor of "Chinese Literature" of the Foreign Languages ​​​​Public Administration. If you want your articles of Yenching Literature to become famous overseas and earn foreign exchange coupons, you must first ask Lao Feng if it is possible!
But you, Li Qingquan, lost contact with the couple after having sex with prostitutes, and neither of them invited anyone?

awesome!

No wonder Old Feng's words were so sharp when he came over just now. It seems that he still has something against you, Li Qingquan!

"Teacher Gu, Lao Feng, didn't our Yanjing Literature invite you?"

Li Qingquan was indeed dumbfounded. It seemed that he had indeed avoided the old Feng couple and did not dare to invite them.

Teacher Gu invited Liu Xinwu, the editor-in-chief of October, and Chinese literature also invited a team editor.

Now being asked so sharply by Teacher Gu, Li Qingquan looked at Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou with an extremely miserable expression, meaning, they are your own father-in-law and mother-in-law, so do you want to invite them or not?

If he invites them, they will definitely explode when they go together, and everything will be exposed; if he doesn't invite them, it seems that he can't even get past Li Qingquan now. I really admire Cheng Xuemin and his wife, they can still keep their composure until now, are they really hiding it? !

"No, no! Even Lao Feng can invite me to this forum. Is this the standard? You, Li Qingquan, invite me to go?"

After hearing what Li Qingquan said, Lao Qian seemed to be humiliated again and waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to go.

Even Mr. and Mrs. Feng were not invited. Anyone who wants to attend a symposium of this scale can go, but Mr. Qian will definitely not go.

It would be embarrassing and shameful to go there!

and!

Even Teacher Gu wasn’t invited, but Old Qian really went. Who knows what will happen to him later!

"Uh……"

Li Qingquan simply looked at Cheng Xuemin for help.

"No, why are you staring at someone's son-in-law all day? Does he have a flower on his body? Aren't you staring at him enough?!"

He also noticed that the looks between Li Qingquanmao and Cheng Xuemin were too obvious, and Old Qian asked in a "clever and weird" manner.

Feng’s mother almost died of laughter!

Why does Li Qingquan always keep a grudge against her son-in-law? Old Qian, you are right. Her son-in-law has a flower on his body, and Li Qingquan treasures him very much.

"No, no, Mr. Qian, please don't not go! Aren't you still waiting to know who the author of our "The Shepherd" is?"

"When you go there, I'm sure you will be astonished and pleasantly surprised as you are!"

Li Qingquan quickly retracted his gaze and quickly calmed Old Qian down. At the same time, he looked at Feng's mother and the others and said, "Old Feng and Teacher Gu, the same goes for you. I was planning to come to your house in person today and invite you all together!"

"Look, I still have time to go to the backyard and say hello to you two!"

"Next Wednesday, we at Yenching Literature will hold a symposium for the author of The Horse Herder. Teacher Feng and you can go together, and we will definitely give you a big surprise!"

"By the way, I just told Lao Qian that Teacher Ding Ling will also be there!"

The formal invitation was made by Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiayou, who secretly winked at Li Qingquan and nodded.

Li Qingquan's heart skipped a beat. This was the beginning of a showdown with his mother-in-law.

From now on, it will be impossible for Yanjing Literature to monopolize the horse shepherd Lao Xu!
However, he also knew that they were, after all, the father-in-law and the son-in-law, and he couldn't keep it a secret for much longer. Seeing them nodding secretly, Li Qingquan quickly smoothed over the words and invited them again and again.

So what happens?
The symposium they held on Wednesday seemed to be getting more and more lively. I just wonder if Teacher Gu would beat up her son-in-law on the spot when she found out that he was the author of The Wrangler, Lao Xu?!

"Lao Li, your invitation is... so insincere! Should Lao Feng and I go or not?"

"If you are sincere, I will treat you, Mr. Gu and Mr. Feng, to a meal later!"

Now that it is going to be made public, if you want to get the manuscript of the horse shepherd Lao Xu in the future, you will have to rely on the mood of his mother-in-law. You must not offend her and must please her.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Li Qingquan hurriedly spoke.

"Old Qian, you can come along too, and we can have a meal together!" he quickly added.

When Lao Qian heard this, he thought that this was almost right and he felt much better.

"Eat!? I think you are planning to eat our lunch first, Lao Li!" Feng's mother glanced at Li Qingquan and said, "It just so happens that Lao Feng is inviting our whole family to a restaurant at noon, Lao Li and Lao Qian, you two can also come along, right?"

"Uh... this is great, this is great. It's a rare occasion that Mr. Feng Gu invites us to a restaurant. I, Old Qian, will definitely go and show up!"

When Old Qian heard about such a good thing, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay... well... why don't I treat you? I've just invited Mr. Liu from October, Mr. Li Shuguang from Renwen Press, and Mr. Zhang from Renmin Literature!"

Of course Li Qingquan thought about it. Since Mr. Gu and Mr. Feng were treating him to a meal, he had to go!

But thinking about it, he already had an appointment with Lao Liu and the others at noon today, he couldn't break it!

How about just grit your teeth and invite them all together?
"Mr. Li, why did you suddenly invite Mr. Liu and others to dinner?" Teacher Gu asked puzzledly.

"Yeah! You invited those three but didn't invite Mr. Feng Gu? It's a pity that Mr. Gu took the initiative to invite you, Li Qingquan, to dinner?"

Lao Qian also continued to stand up for justice and output!

"No, no, Old Qian, please don't speculate too much. I'm just curious about what they are doing together."

Feng's mother glared at Old Qian and asked him to stop making excessive assumptions.

"What else can I do?!"

"Isn't it the one that you and Liu Xinwu talked about last time, Teacher Gu? I'm really curious and want to know. I've asked about it several times, but you guys kept it a secret and didn't let anyone know!"

"Don't I want to get Li Shuguang and Lao Zhang together to give your October Lao Liu a good drink?!"

"It's just right anyway. I'm short of a meal for you October!"

At this point, Li Qingquan blushed with embarrassment. He just asked Liu Xinwu, who was from October, to come out alone. According to the old rules, he would force him to drink until he vomited.

"OK, Lao Li, you are really good!"

Mother Feng was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that Li Qingquan would be so ruthless in order to find out their October satellite!

"But Old Li, I have to remind you that it's best not to ask too much. Old Wu will be unhappy and he might even get angry. You should be more careful!"

Li Qingquan himself said that he had inquired several times but still could not get any clue. Doesn't this explain the problem?

He, Li Qingquan, is the editor-in-chief who is in charge of the daily work of "Yenching Literature" and a well-known writer under Mr. Wu. He tried every means to find out but couldn't get any information. Doesn't this explain the problem?
This guy is so stubborn that he even wants to get Lao Liu drunk and get things from him that he would never tell even if he is beaten to death. Li Qingquan is really good and awesome!
"what!?"

After being reminded by Feng's mother, Li Qingquan seemed to react belatedly!
But the more this is the case, the more it proves that the big satellite that "October" is creating is really not simple.

"No, what are you talking about again? Teacher Gu, you are also going to launch a satellite in October, am I right in understanding that?"

Lao Qian next to him was confused and asked a question without quite understanding.
"It's not a satellite, it's an atomic bomb!"

"Old Li, if you want to keep asking, go get Old Liu drunk and try to get him to tell you something!"
