1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 166: First Encounter with the Fairy Mother

The night after tomorrow, Xu Yuexin went to Donglaishun in advance, ordered the hotpot base and several famous dishes, and then waited for Wang Chaoyin and the leaders of the Workers' Stadium to arrive.

Many state-owned units these days do not serve individuals.

Take the Workers' Stadium for example. Previously, only public art troupes and art troupes were allowed to hold concerts here.

The star concert at Workers' Stadium in 1980 was also held in the name of a public institution.

If you want to hold a concert in your own name, you really have to work hard.

"Yue Xin, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Not long after, Wang Chaoyin's voice came from the door, waking Xu Yuexin from his thoughts.

Xu Yuexin raised his head and saw Wang Chaoyin walking into the gate of Donglaishun, followed by a thin middle-aged man who looked very smart and capable.

"No, I just arrived too."

Xu Yuexin stood up and said politely.

Wang Chaoyin began to introduce the two parties.

"This is the great writer Xu Yuexin I told you about. His works have sold tens of millions of copies."

"This is Director Xu Yingxu, last year's city model worker."

"Hello, Director Xu."

"Hello, hello. Nice to meet you, great writer."

"No, Director Xu is so polite..."

……

After warm and friendly greetings, the three of them sat down.

At this time, the waiter brought up the hand-cut lamb, sliced ​​roast duck, and the meat and vegetables for the hot pot, and the three of them ate while chatting.

"Old Xu, Yue Xin invited you here mainly to discuss the venue leasing with you."

"I know. We have discussed this on the phone. This is a good thing."

Xu Ying smiled politely, "Of course. If you have to say there is any obstacle, it's that our venue has never taken business from individuals. In the past, it was always for companies."

What does the other person mean?
Doesn't sound like a rejection?

Xu Yuexin thought about it briefly and felt that Xu Ying should still be open to hosting the concert.

As for the difficulties mentioned later, they are also facts. People raised them probably because they wanted to get a suitable response from him.

"There shouldn't be any regulations restricting individuals from renting venues, right?"

"No, mainly because there is no precedent."

"Then let me set this precedent. I will be personally responsible for any problems that arise during the event."

“This can be added to the contract.”

"As for the ability to bear the consequences, I have no shortage of it either."

"To be honest, I have saved some money in the past two or three years of writing."

"That's great. I feel relieved when you say that."

In just two or three sentences, Xu Yuexin reached a consensus with Xu Ying.

Because Xu Yuexin knew what Xu Ying was worried about. It was nothing more than fear that after setting a precedent, an unexpected situation would occur at the event and he would be held accountable.

As long as Xu Ying can let go of this worry, the problem can be solved.

Wang Chaoyin smiled when he saw that the two had reached an agreement.

"Come on, stop talking and eat your food."

He raised his chopsticks and called Xu Yuexin and Xu Yingdao.

During the meal, Xu Yuexin and Xu Ying agreed on the venue rental.

The venue will be rented for two days and two nights. The first day will be used to set up the concert venue, and the concert will start in the afternoon of the next day, which is scheduled for twenty days later.

The total rent was 3000 yuan. The Workers' Stadium was responsible for the arrangement of all facilities except the audio equipment. Xu Yuexin first paid them 1000 yuan to purchase the facilities, and the excess would be refunded or supplemented.

Even if converted according to purchasing power level, the current rent of Gongti is much lower than that in the future.

Xu Yuexin thinks this is because there are few activities of all kinds at the moment and a lack of competitors, which results in rental costs for various venues not being able to be raised.

After the meal, Xu Yuexin went to the counter to pay, and Xu Ying insisted on paying his share.

Xu Yuexin couldn't persuade Xu Ying, so he had to let him do what he wanted.

"Director Xu has always been impartial."

On the way back, Wang Chaoyin said when only he and Xu Yuexin were left, "He was like this when we had dinner before."

"I see……"

Xu Yuexin nodded and said that he admired this man very much.

He also likes to deal with people who stick to their principles.

After reaching an agreement with the Workers' Stadium, Xu Yuexin came to Tuanjie Lake the next day and told Chen Yixiu the good news.

"So fast?"

Chen Yixiu was quite surprised. She thought it would take a long time.

"Well, I've told the venue that I'll be responsible for any problems that arise."

Xu Yuexin said straightforwardly, "The next step is to sign the contract and prepare for the concert."

"Make a list of your requirements for audio equipment and other equipment and give it to me. I'll go shopping for them later."

If he hadn't taken responsibility, the venue issue wouldn't have been resolved so quickly, right?
He is indeed a responsible man...

Chen Yixiu listened quietly beside Xu Yuexin, with a look of immersion and admiration.

"There shouldn't be any accidents. Even if there are any, we will both bear the responsibility."

Chen Yixiu expressed her opinion after he finished speaking.

“Hey, as long as you plan the event well, there will be no surprises.”

Xu Yuexin said lightly, "Make a list quickly."

Chen Yixiu nodded, stood up from the sofa and walked to the bedroom, took out paper and pen, returned to Xu Yuexin and started writing seriously, thinking about it from time to time in the middle.

"These are all you need to buy. Take a look."

"The ones in brackets are replacement models. If I can't find what I want, I'll buy the replacement ones."

After a moment, Chen Yixiu handed the list to Xu Yuexin.

Xu Yuexin took the list and took a look at it, and felt that most of the models should not be difficult to buy.

Even if some of them are in short supply, they should be available at Friendship Store.

Just as Xu Yuexin took the list, Chen Yixiu picked up an apple and a fruit knife from the coffee table and started peeling the apple for him.

When Xu Yuexin finished reading the list, Chen Yixue was still concentrating on peeling the fruit. Wow, when did I get to enjoy this treatment?

Xu Yuexin was happy to see this.

My sister-in-law is a beautiful lady, and when she concentrates on her work, she is even more dignified and peaceful.

Seeing his sister-in-law slightly lowering her head to peel an apple, Xu Yuexin was immediately attracted by it and couldn't bear to look away.

"Stop looking."

After peeling the apple, the sister-in-law handed it to Xu Yuexin and said gently, "Eat it."

“I’ll watch and eat at the same time.”

Xu Yuexin took the apple with a smile and pinched his sister-in-law's elastic thigh through the thin silk nightgown.

"It's a habit that can't be changed."

The sister-in-law said with a look of disdain, but she did not move away like she did in the past, "You are 22 years old, so be more stable."

"It starts from emotion and ends with etiquette."

Xu Yuexin said nonchalantly.

The sister-in-law looked at him with deep suspicion: Has he ever talked to her about etiquette?

After eating the apple, Xu Yuexin and his sister-in-law discussed the precautions for the subsequent concerts.

The two agreed that maintaining order among the people on the scene was the most important thing.

Of all the orders, the one most likely to have problems is the order at the end of the event.

It must have been late at night when the concert ended, and it was difficult to take a bus. It was quite cold in the autumn nights.

How to deal with this issue is the top priority of the entire concert event planning.

"I have a solution for this."

"I can find the city bus group and rent their vehicles to transport people, that's all."

After discussing with his sister-in-law for a while, Xu Yuexin slapped his thigh and said.

Of course this time he took a picture of his own thigh.

"That's a good idea."

The sister-in-law immediately agreed, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"No need, I can go find them by myself."

Xu Yuexin said.

In the following days, Xu Yuexin was busy at full speed.

Sign contracts, buy equipment, report activities to the public security bureau, contact bus companies to rent vehicles...

Xu Yuexin completed these matters as quickly as possible, and it still took him more than ten days.

My sister-in-law was contacting dancers for the concert and made some progress during that time.

"The dance troupe of Wuhan Song and Dance Theater is pretty good. I'd like to invite them to come dance with me."

When the elder sister-in-law met Xu Yuexin, she said, "We have contacted them by telegram several times, but nothing has been decided yet."

"What's the problem, the cost or the schedule?"

"Neither. The main reason is that this is a private event and we can't issue a letter of introduction, which means they can't stay in a hotel in Beijing."

"That's easy, just stay at my house."

Xu Yuexin said indifferently.

There are hotels that you can check into right now without a letter of introduction, but the prerequisite is that there aren't too many people.

For accommodation with a large group of people like this, a letter of introduction is still required.

This is when Xu Yuexin’s Duke’s Mansion can come in handy.

There are four courtyards and dozens of houses, so it is no problem to cram all the girls in the dance team into it.

"Yes, your house is so big."

My sister-in-law agreed, "Then I'll tell them that the accommodation problem has been solved?"

"Go ahead."

Xu Yuexin nodded and said, "Let me know when they are almost here and I will pick them up at the train station."

"It shows how much we value them."

"Ok."

The sister-in-law said.

……

A few days later, Xu Yuexin received a call from his sister-in-law, who said that the dancing team would arrive at the train station at 2 pm.

Since his sister-in-law was doing her final practice before going on stage, he went alone to greet the girls who were going to dance with him.

Xu Yuexin gladly accepted the task.

After finishing the call with his sister-in-law, Xu Yuexin changed into a newly bought black coat, polished his leather shoes to a shine, put on the Bulgari sunglasses he had brought back from Hong Kong, and prepared to go to the train station.

When meeting those beautiful girls in the dance troupe, your outfit must be brighter.

And if he remembered correctly, Liu Tianxian's mother Liu Xiaoli was at the WH City Song and Dance Theater at that time.

If only she was on the list of backup dancers.

Xu Yuexin thought secretly.

The main reason was that the dancers for the concert were entirely chosen by his sister-in-law, and he had never had much contact with Wuhan, so it would be awkward to make a rash recommendation.

Otherwise, he would have to mention Tianxianma's name no matter what he said.

Before leaving, Xu Yuexin made a sign out of cardboard and found a brush to write the words "Welcome Comrades from Wuhan Song and Dance Theater" on it.

In those days there were no mobile phones, let alone online communication, so everyone greeted strangers in this way.

Xu Yuexin tucked the sign under his armpit, and when he arrived at the train station, he walked to the exit and held up the sign.

Although it's not two o'clock yet, the trains are not always punctual these days, so it's better to raise your hand in advance to avoid missing the girls.

The big clock in the train station square moved forward little by little, and soon it was two o'clock.

More and more passengers were coming out of the exit, and it was obvious that a new train had arrived.

Xu Yuexin perked up and held up the sign. At this time, he saw about seven or eight girls walking out of the station in groups. The one leading them looked very familiar.

The goddess mother Liu Xiaoli.

She's really here!
Xu Yuexin took a deep breath and said.
