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

Chapter 72 Development Plan
Jump out...

Chen Yixiu's heart trembled when she heard Xu Yuexin's words.

She had heard people mention that singers in Hong Kong could earn tens of thousands of yuan from a concert.

In comparison, as a mainstay of the art troupe, she only earns less than 200 yuan a month.

To say that I am not envious is a lie.

And today, Xu Yuexin showed her another option.

"you're right."

Chen Yixue nodded gently and said, "But I don't know what to do after I get out."

"I can't imagine leaving the art troupe and arranging everything by myself."

“Can you help me plan?”

My sister-in-law regards herself as a life mentor.

Xu Yuexin leaned back in his chair and continued to give her guidance.

"Leaving doesn't mean leaving. You can keep your position in the Wen Gong Tuan, not receive a salary, work on your own, and occasionally help them out, so that you can have a way out."

"After you get out, you can first record songs and sell them to audio and video publishers. The advantage of doing this is that the cost of trial and error is low."

"When the policy allows individuals to hold concerts, you can perform on stage like the singers in Hong Kong."

"Singing a few songs for the art troupe occasionally will also help you maintain your popularity in society. When you officially debut as an individual, everyone will still remember you."

Xu Yuexin planned for his sister-in-law in an orderly manner.

Chen Yixiu was stunned.

He is a few years younger than me, yet he was able to make such careful arrangements.

In a short period of time, you can provide yourself with a detailed and feasible plan.

It's amazing.

"Just do as you say."

Chen Yixue immediately stated, "If there are any troubles later, I hope you can continue to give me guidance."

"We are all family, don't be so polite."

Xu Yuexin said, while at the same time not forgetting to comfort, "Don't feel any psychological pressure after you get out. Sooner or later, the arts industry will have to take the path of integrating with the market."

"You're just one step ahead of others."

"Well, I believe what you said."

Chen Yixiu smiled and nodded.

In her eyes, Xu Yuexin not only has strong planning ability, but also has very broad knowledge.

Xu Yuexin raised his hand and looked at the time: "It's getting late, let's go home."

"Well, when are you free next time? I want to talk to you again."

Chen Yixiu said reluctantly that she felt time passed too quickly.

"Five days later."

Xu Yuexin said, "See you in the morning."

After sending Chen Yixue home, Xu Yuexin returned to his home in Keyuan Community.

It was already late at night, and Xu Yuexin pushed the door and entered the bedroom.

On the table, the desk lamp emitted a warm orange light. Chen Qiaoqiao was sitting at the head of the bed not far away, with her hands on her knees and her eyes looking at the ground, as if she was worried about something.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xu Yuexin walked up to his wife, patted her shoulder and asked, "Are you wronged?"

Chen Qiaoqiao came back to her senses from her immersion, raised her head and looked at her: "I'm not wronged, I'm just worried about it."

"What are you worried about?"

Xu Yuexin sat down next to her, stroked her back and asked, "Can I help you solve this problem?"

"It's just that the summer vacation is almost halfway over, and I feel like I haven't done anything."

Chen Qiaoqiao said with a worried look on her face, "Some of my classmates are doing field research with their tutors, and some are doing internships in the ministry or the city. I am the only one who is sitting at home doing nothing."

My wife is striving for progress? That’s a good thing!

I must help her lead the way and cultivate a future female boss. "That's easy. You will go to the street office for internship starting tomorrow."

Xu Yuexin gave the answer immediately without hesitation.

"what?"

Chen Qiaoqiao was a little caught off guard.

My classmate went to work in a ministry, while she went to work in a street office. Isn’t the gap between them a bit too big?

Xu Yuexin saw his daughter-in-law's confusion and patiently answered her questions.

"You don't understand. This is called switching tracks and accumulating grassroots experience."

"After you have interned at sea, and then go to the grassroots level, your experience will be more comprehensive."

"Besides, everyone else is working in high-level institutions, and you are the only one working at the grassroots level. It will be easier to attract attention if you write it on your resume in the future."

"The most important thing is that I can be 100% sure that the national personnel orientation in the future will be to reuse cadres with grassroots experience. If you help the street for a period of time, you will get a lot of extra points in the future."

Xu Yuexin said with great certainty.

Chen Qiaoqiao was listening nearby, and took a while to digest what he said.

"You have a point. I will go to the street office to ask tomorrow."

After thinking about it, Chen Qiaoqiao agreed, "We still have to be prepared to prevent the grassroots work from being difficult."

"Fortunately, the people living here are all high-level intellectuals, so there won't be many troubles. Besides, you're a summer intern, so they won't give you any difficult tasks."

"I'll take you there tomorrow."

"Yeah, if you say that, I feel relieved."

Chen Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, the initial worry on her face having disappeared.

The next morning, Xu Yuexin took Chen Qiaoqiao to the Xueyuan Road Sub-district Office.

When they heard that they were both students of Yanda University, the street staff took the initiative to invite them to the secretary's office.

The secretary of the subdistrict office is a female comrade.

When Chen Qiaoqiao explained her purpose, she immediately agreed readily, saying that Chen Qiaoqiao could choose the content of the work at will, and she was so enthusiastic that it seemed as if she was afraid that Chen Qiaoqiao would go back on her word.

"I want to write articles because I majored in Chinese."

Chen Qiaoqiao said calmly and generously, "I plan to arrive at work tomorrow. From now on, I will work from Monday to Thursday, and rest from Friday to Sunday. Is this convenient for you?"

"Of course it's convenient. With a top student like you writing, our street won't have to worry about the writing work in the future."

The female secretary said with a smile, feeling very happy.

These top students from Yan University will work in key national agencies after graduation.

Today, someone actually volunteered to come to the subdistrict office for internship. The female secretary felt like she had struck gold.

……

The next morning, Chen Qiaoqiao went to the street office for internship as agreed, and Xu Yuexin went to the agreed teahouse to meet Ye Tianrong to discuss the publication of "The Wreath under the Mountain" in Hong Kong.

This negotiation involved the specific arrangements in the publishing process and the distribution of benefits, which was a big deal for Xu Yuexin. He even changed into a new set of clothes for this purpose.

On the way, Xu Yuexin went to the newsstand and bought a copy of today's People's Daily.

After flipping through the newspaper several times, he looked up at the old man in the booth and said, "Do you have yesterday's and the day before yesterday's newspapers? I want one."

"What a coincidence, there are still two left."

The old man searched in the newsstand for a while and handed the newspaper to Xu Yuexin.

Xu Yuexin took the newspaper, gave him a dime, and began to read it carefully again.

This time, Xu Yuexin found a report on the People's Literature Society's award ceremony in the newspaper.

And the photo above shows the scene when Mr. Mao was talking to him.

Very good, Xu Yuexin will take it to see Ye Tianrong.

After arriving at the teahouse, Xu Yuexin saw Ye Tianrong, dressed in a suit and tie, sitting down in the teahouse and waved to him.

"Long time no see. How are you?"

Ye Tianrong smiled politely and called the waiter to order tea.

After ordering tea, Ye Tianrong and Xu Yuexin exchanged a few pleasantries, then got to the point, "Have you inquired about the policies for publishing in Hong Kong and overseas recently?"
