Chapter 105 Ji Min's Thoughts on Destroying the House

"Your little courtyard is quite nice."

After Wang Jing entered the door, she looked around for a while and said, "Although the yard is not big, I don't have to squeeze in with other people. It's much better than a slum."

"Qiu'er, boil some water."

Chen Fan turned on the fan and brought out the tea set: "This yard is really nice. I'm just lucky to have come across it."

Wang Jingyi hummed: "I've been looking recently, but there are really few houses available. I went to see one a few days ago, but I wasn't satisfied, so I didn't buy it."

"The house is bad?"

"It's tattered and the price is high."

"It doesn't matter if it's shabby. I won't live in it anyway. What matters is that the price is right."

"Anyway, take your time. There's no rush."

Wang Jingyi is not short of money. He is the editor-in-chief of a publishing house. His monthly salary, plus subsidies, adds up to more than 100 yuan.

My husband's income is higher than mine.

In other words, the houses in Tuanjie Lake are too expensive, one set costs 30,000 yuan. Otherwise, she would have wanted to move to an apartment with its own door and collective heating, which is much better than a courtyard house.

The ideas provided by Chen Fan are also very good.

Just buy a courtyard house, whether it is a small courtyard or a large tenement house, and wait for it to be demolished.

Although I don’t know when the house will be demolished, I don’t need to worry as I have the house. There are so many people who lack houses these days, and I can cash in at any time.

"Your brother Wang also bought a small courtyard, which is about the same size as yours."

"He's pretty quick."

"No, he's been busy renovating the house recently and was planning to move in. His wife got so angry that she had a big fight with him. He originally planned to save money to buy a house."

"Isn't my sister-in-law going to blame me?" Chen Fan joked.

"That's hard to say."

Wang Jing smiled and took out an invitation from her canvas bag: "Let's talk business first. The time for the first seminar on "Awakening Age" has been set. It will be this Friday."

Today is September 9nd, which happens to be Tuesday!

Wang Jing handed over the invitation letter and added, "The Ministry of Culture and the Writers Association will send people to attend this seminar, so you must treat it seriously."

"And professors from your Kyoto University's School of History who study modern history will also participate."

"The specifications are so high?" Chen Fan was surprised.

Wang Jing shook his head and said, "Not high, not high at all. Don't you think about what kind of people and events are written in the book "Awakening Age"? "

"Once a book like this is published, it will form a certain characterization of historical figures and events in the minds of the public, and every detail must be treated with extreme caution."

"This is just the first seminar. If this seminar is passed, more big names will appear later. It is impossible to make a decision easily."

“That’s why I say, if you can finish this book, ten or twenty years later, you will feel that you are amazing and it will be worth remembering for a lifetime.”

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you down." Chen Fan said solemnly.

To make this happen, Wang Jingyi and Wang Wei, as well as the publishing houses and magazines behind them, must have put in a lot of effort, and even had to use a lot of favors.

I can't retreat now!

Don’t say discouraging words, it will only make people feel disheartened!

Chen Fan got up and went back to his room, and took out the five chapters he had written recently: "These are the five chapters I wrote recently, more than 50,000 words, take them away later."

Wang Jing took it and roughly flipped through it: "It would be great if there is a new manuscript. I will have someone mimeograph some tomorrow and send them to the participants so that we can discuss it together."

"The water is coming!"

Xu Jinqiu came in with a kettle and helped make tea: "Sister Jingyi, have some tea."

"Thank you Qiu'er!"

Wang Jingyi took the teacup and asked, "Have you signed up? You're about to start your college life. I really envy your generation."

"Sister Jingyi, you also went to college, so it should be the same, right?"

"How can they be the same? We were still in school at that time, but we were directly arranged to go to the countryside. I went to the Construction Corps in the Northeast." Wang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh.

Not all college students went to the countryside at that time, only a part of them.

Wang Jingyi was one of the unlucky ones.

After talking about some things that happened during college, Wang Jingyi stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he told Chen Fan to be prepared.

The two of them sent Wang Jingyi to the car before returning to the courtyard. Xu Jinqiu picked up the registered letter and said, "It should be from Sister Ying. Let's open it and take a look."

"The only person who can write to me from Hong Kong is Sister Ying."

Chen Fan took the envelope, opened it directly, and took out the contents. In addition to a letter, there was also a stack of photos.

The photo was taken downstairs of the office building of "Hong Kong Magazine".

There was a group of triad members gathered around, holding banners and signs and causing trouble, and there were also scenes of vandalism and looting.

"Brother San made such a big fuss?" Xu Jinqiu took the photo and widened her eyes.

"You're being pushed into a corner!"

Chen Fan opened the letter with a smile. Li Hongying said in the letter that Chen Fan had really pissed off Asan this time and he was irritated, so his reaction was even more intense than last time.

Not only that, the Indian consulate in Hong Kong also notified the matter, lodged a protest, and demanded that Hong Kong Magazine and Chen Fan himself make a public apology.

Xu Jinqiu was sitting beside him, reading the letter with him: "Is it that serious, Third Brother?"

"It's really that serious!" Chen Fan couldn't help laughing. That extra chapter hit Ah San's sore spot.

It's not as simple as just a few curse words.

The whole article is about just one point: Third Brother's credibility. It also describes all the ways in which Third Brother did business and cheated people in later generations.

Well, a lot hasn’t happened yet!

Chen Fan didn't care about that. If Asan could hire a ghostwriter to make up a rumor that he was being kept by a rich woman, then Chen Fan could naturally write something nonsense too.

It’s not really random writing, some of it has already happened, and some just haven’t happened yet.

The future is bound to happen.

After such an article was published, it was obvious that life was not easy for San Ge, who lived in Hong Kong. Many people would naturally be a little wary when they saw San.

In addition to Ah San's story, Li Hongying also said in the letter that "God of Gamblers" has been filmed and has been officially released in Hong Kong.

"Isn't this too fast?" Xu Jinqiu was surprised.

I came back from Hong Kong on August 8nd, and the script had just been finalized at that time. Today is only September 2nd, so it’s only been a month in total.

Including the time for mailing the letter, it was less than a month.

"Hong Kong is different from ours. The production cycle of a movie is usually within one to two months," Chen Fan explained.

The movie "God of Gamblers" only took about twenty-five days to shoot in my previous life.

There are even faster ones, like Young and Dangerous: Way of the Dragon, which only took 12 days to shoot; Gunfire, which only took 19 days; and All's Well, Ends Well, which only took 13 days to shoot.

The main point is just one word: fast!

After getting the investment, they would quickly make the film and then take it to the market to make money. This resulted in the fact that although Hong Kong films have produced many classics, most of them are of a crude production quality.

"Sister Ying invited us to watch a movie? Do you want to go? After all, it's you who wrote the story."

"No, I'm going to school." Chen Fan shook his head.

I've seen it in my previous life.

As for the films shot nowadays, Chen Fan doesn’t think they will be better than those shot in the future. Classics are not so easy to surpass.

"Speaking of school, I have something to say."

Xu Jinqiu put her hand on Chen Fan's waist and squinted her eyes slightly: "Student Chen Fan is really amazing. There are fans of his books all over the school, and even female fans are chasing after him."

Chen Fan said with a sullen smile, "Classmate Qiu'er, we don't do that. Our books are all bestsellers, so it's not unusual to run into book fans."

Xu Jinqiu smiled and exerted a little force on her hands: "Is this normal? Today, Ji Min looked at you with a bright look in his eyes."

Chen Fan began to feel pain in his waist, but he endured it and said with a wry smile, "Qiu'er, we can't control others, right? I can only control myself. Anyway, I've chosen you for my whole life, and I won't even look at anyone else."

"Just coax me."

Xu Jinqiu let go of her hand, gave Chen Fan a coquettish look, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "My roommate Fan, I'm going to make sure you don't have any evil thoughts today."

This girl is a real witch sometimes!
But Chen Fan likes it!

……

Kyoto University, Department of Literature female dormitory building!
Ji Min was lying on the bed, holding a copy of People's Literature, and happened to turn to the column "Chen Fan Sees the World": "Qi Yue, what do you think of Chen Fan?"

"Student Ji Min, you're not going to have any other thoughts, are you?" Qi Yue glanced at his roommate.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ji Min was helpless and rolled her eyes: "When I read his articles before, I felt that he must be the kind of person who lives a very transparent life."

"Then what?" Qi Yue asked.

"I realized that it wasn't the case until we met. This guy laughs and scolds all the time. He doesn't look like a writer, but more like a crosstalk performer." Ji Min said with a smile.

"It's really funny. In the words of Beijing, it's poor. But no matter how funny it is, it belongs to someone else's family. Don't think too much about it." Qi Yue reminded.

"What are you thinking? I just like his books and have had some fantasies in my mind, that's all. Even if I had any ideas, I have no more ideas after meeting Xu Jinqiu."

Speaking of Xu Jinqiu, Ji Min couldn't help but sigh: "Sisters have always felt that they are beautiful women, right? Standing next to Xu Jinqiu today, sisters feel a little inferior."

"That girl is so beautiful, and her temperament is so pitiful that I feel sorry for her."

"You're right, it's true. With my sister-in-law's looks, she would be recognized at a glance if she stood in a crowd." Qi Yue agreed.

"There's more. Haven't you noticed? Why did Xu Jinqiu come here? She came to declare her sovereignty. I guess she will come here often in the future." Ji Min affirmed.

"Haha... Chen Fan probably has to go to Beijing Normal University more often."

Hearing this, Ji Min was stunned.

Chen Fan is a writer with a unique style who is very popular among young people. Once his name spreads in Peking University, there will probably be many girls who are attracted to him.

Xu Jinqiu's situation is even simpler. Her appearance, figure, and temperament are all perfect. As long as she walks around the campus, she will have no shortage of suitors.

If I were Chen Fan, I would go to Beijing Normal University every day to make the moat wider and deeper, and never give anyone a chance to take advantage of it.

It’s interesting to think about it this way!

Ji Min raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Do you think Chen Fan will join the May Fourth Literature Society? If this guy joins the club, I think Xu Jinqiu will never be able to sleep well in the future."

In universities these days, if you find a rich partner, no one will envy you, but if you find someone talented and gifted, it will definitely be more prestigious.

The literary club is where girls focus their attention.

"I'll go find my brother. He's a member of the literature club. He knows Chen Fan is in our school, so he will definitely invite Chen Fan to join the club." Ji Min got off the bed, put on his shoes and ran out.
