Mixed in 1980

Chapter 15 Official Media Speaks Out
After the garden tour, the three of them changed their destination and went to eat mutton hotpot.

This time, Chen Fan did not rush to pay the bill, so Xu Jinqiu finally got his wish to treat the guest.

After paying the money, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Fan could see that, although this girl was willing to argue with him, she was also a very clear-headed person with a temper.

It was already past three in the afternoon when we returned to Nanluoguxiang. There was a newsstand next to the bus stop. Xu Jinqiu suggested, "Why don't you go and look through the newspaper to see if the people who scolded you have calmed down?"

"Comrade Xu Jinqiu, why do I feel like you are gloating over someone else's misfortune?"

"Be more confident, you are just gloating over other people's misfortune." Xu Jinqiu snorted, her kindness being taken for granted.

When he walked to the newsstand and took a look, Xu Jinqiu was stunned.

The words "The Most Beautiful Youth" appeared in the headlines of many newspapers, but the content was no longer attacks and insults, but more like praise.

The Most Beautiful Youth: Salute to the Reforesters in Saihanba, This is the Youth We Should Pursue

The Most Beautiful Youth: Planting Trees in the Desert, the Times Needs People Who Go Against the Flow

The Most Beautiful Youth: Saihanba Spirit is Curbing Sandstorms

……

After one night, the wind direction changed?
Look at these newspapers again, they are all published with the Chinese character "国" in their titles.

The content of the article is written in great detail, elaborating on the efforts and contributions made by the people of Saihanba Forest Farm over the years, as well as the current status of greening in Saihanba.

Not only Saihanba, but also the entire Three North Shelterbelt Project was introduced.

From the 1960s to today, the Three North Shelterbelt Project has begun to take effect, and the frequency and intensity of sandstorms have been decreasing.

Once the trees grow, sandstorms will become less frequent and weaker.

There are very few words introducing the book "The Most Beautiful Youth" in the article, but for this book, it is enough to be published in a major national newspaper.

"What kind of good incense are you burning? Good things have come after bad times. I will go and pay my respects to you later."

"The tablet of the ancestors of the old Chen family."

Chen Fan was also very surprised. It was just a war of words and he had no intention of getting involved. How come a major national newspaper would stand up for him?
I'll have to ask Editor-in-Chief Wang Wei later, there must be something I don't know about this.

"Fuck you, you're taking advantage of me again."

"I'm not lying to you. You'll know when you pray to it. It's super effective. Whatever you pray for will be granted."

"I don't want to bother with you." Xu Jinqiu snorted and walked away with Zhao Yuanyuan. This guy really never misses any opportunity to take advantage.

Whatever you wish for will be granted, as if the tablet of your ancestors is Aladdin's magic lamp.

Chen Fan bought a few newspapers, paid the money and quickly caught up with them, sending the two girls back before returning to Yard No. 46.

As soon as I entered the gate, I ran into Zhang Jianjun again.

Looking at the newspaper in Chen Fan's hand, Zhang Jianjun raised his lips slightly: "Chen Fan, are you going to buy a newspaper? Have those people who scolded you shut up?"

He looks like "good brother is worried about you" again. If you don't know, you would really think that the relationship between the two is very good. This is very Zhang Jianjun, smiling on the surface, but worried in his heart.

Without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, Zhang Jianjun suggested: "We can't keep this to ourselves. We should find a magazine and write an article to scold them. We'll kill them."

"It's too late." Chen Fan sighed.

"Too late? The magazine won't listen to those people and take your novel off the shelves, right? Grandma, this is intolerable. Let's go to the magazine and ask for justice."

“What a dramatic actor!”

Looking at Zhang Jianjun's indignant expression, Chen Fan almost laughed out loud.

Who doesn't know how to act? "You're thinking the wrong way. Look at these Chinese newspapers, they are all praising "The Most Beautiful Youth". It's not appropriate for me to write an article to curse at people now."

"Um……"

Zhang Jianjun felt as if someone was choking him, and it took him a while to react: "That's great, with these big newspapers supporting us, those people are just yelling nonsense and wasting their energy."

"Of course not. They helped me gain some fame and didn't ask for anything in return. They are all good people."

"It really is!"

Zhang Jianjun forced a smile, said he was going out to buy something and left. As soon as he walked out the door, he couldn't help but slap himself in the face, grimacing in pain.

Am I a good person?
"Why do you keep looking at me?"

When he returned to the dormitory, Zhao Yuanyuan seemed very abnormal and kept staring at him. If science was not advocated these days, Xu Jinqiu would have suspected that this girl was possessed by evil spirits.

"I'm looking for something."

"What is that?" Xu Jinqiu looked around herself and found nothing strange.

"Look for your wise brain."

"Screw you."

"Sure enough, my brain is running away."

Zhao Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "What are you thinking? Are you really attracted to Chen Fan?"

Xu Jinqiu thought about it and said seriously, "It's not to that extent. I just think he's quite interesting. I might try to get in touch with him."

"Listen to my sister's advice. It's best not to get in touch with her. If you get in touch with her too much, you will definitely fall into it." Zhao Yuanyuan took out a towel and washed her face. "This guy has too many tricks. He's like an old fox. If he really wants to get his hands on you, he can eat you up completely without leaving any bones or scraps for you."

After hanging up the towel, he added, "Anyway, I think the risk is too great and not worth it."

“Basically agree!”

Xu Jinqiu nodded. After two encounters, Chen Fan had too many labels: slick, talkative, overbearing, scheming... He was truly a strange man.

"So there are some who disagree?" Zhao Yuanyuan sat in front of Xu Jinqiu.

"He's quite down-to-earth."

"What's going on?"

Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Do you have any misunderstanding about the word 'real'? This person speaks in a flowery way, and doesn't seem like a serious person."

"You don't understand." Xu Jinqiu said with a smile.

"Then you should talk about it."

"He doesn't pretend."

"Uh……"

Zhao Yuanyuan was speechless. There was really no way to refute this.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhao Yuanyuan has seen too many suitors, of all kinds.

Some are gentlemanly and polite, some are gentle and considerate, some are upright and dignified... Each one is like a peacock spreading its tail, trying to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

Chen Fan is the most different. He says whatever he thinks. Even if it is a routine, he will admit it openly and not pretend at all.

Even if it is said that he was attracted by beauty, he would just say: A beautiful love begins with appearance, falls in love with talent, and is sustained by three values.

He didn't deny at all that he was attracted by her beauty first.

"I'm really not pretending. What does this have to do with being real? Maybe this is also a routine."

“It’s just a routine.”

Xu Jinqiu smiled and poured herself a glass of water: "Show your true self. This is the attitude you should take when looking for a partner."

"You are trapped in it, and you will take the initiative to defend him." Zhao Yuanyuan was still not convinced. That man was good at verbal sweet talk and making jokes, which was not real at all.

Xu Jinqiu smiled and didn't explain.

She understood clearly. Although Chen Fan looked at her with a passionate look and an attitude that said, "I must pursue you," he was actually just testing her the whole time.

After several contacts, we never talked about any in-depth topics.

Chen Fan never asked a single question about his work, family, etc., nor did he mention his own work and family.

These are exactly the topics that strangers must talk about when they go on a date.

It's like a blind date.

Chen Fan is not like that. He just shows his true self and uses various languages to try to understand his personality and judge whether he is the right person.

Only after understanding people will he be interested in understanding other things.

Maybe in Chen Fan's view, things like work, income, and family are not important; people are the most important.

Chen Fan's first impression of me was my appearance, but my appearance only determined that he wanted to contact me. Without knowing me well enough, he would not take the next step.

Xu Jinqiu really appreciates this style.

Much better than those who appear polite on the outside but are beasts in reality.

When they were on a date, she didn't pretend. She would joke when necessary and retort when necessary. She was also testing Chen Fan and trying to understand him.

Only if you have the right personality and the right values will there be a possibility of taking the next step.

It's still early.

Xu Jinqiu was very sure that she had a good impression of Chen Fan, but it was only a good impression at the moment. There was still a lot she needed to understand before she could move forward.

I believe Chen Fan has the same idea.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yuanyuan sighed helplessly: "I'll talk to my elder sister later and ask her to check it for you, otherwise I won't be at ease."

"It will take some time."

The eldest sister is a sister living in a slum.

She is only 20 years old this year, but she is already the mainstay of the dance troupe. Xu Jinqiu and Zhao Yuanyuan were able to join the dance troupe thanks to the help of the "big sister".

The two of them have been playing behind their eldest sister since they were young. They can be said to have been raised by their eldest sister. If we really talk about their relationship, there is not much difference between them and biological sisters.

"It can't be too long. I'm afraid you'll get stuck in it soon. By the way, are you going home today?"

After resting for a while and recovering her strength, Zhao Yuanyuan began to pack her clothes.

Their home is not far from Nanluoguxiang, and they can ride a bicycle back and forth every day. Zhao Yuanyuan lives in the dormitory because she is too lazy to go back and forth.

"You have to go back. There's no place to live at home. Otherwise, who would live in the dormitory? Only a lazy bum like you likes to stay in the dormitory." Xu Jinqiu teased.
