Chapter 57: The Joining of a Literary Master – An Unexpected Delight

Yu Hua is a renowned contemporary literary writer.

His representative work, "Still Alive," has won numerous important literary awards both domestically and internationally.

He is also a visiting professor at several top universities and can be considered a literary giant.

When I saw this name prominently displayed on the resume.

Even Yang Qian, who is usually calm and collected, was taken aback.

However, the shocks didn't end there.

"Director Yang, Ms. Yu Hua is currently waiting for you in the company's meeting room."

Miriam Yeung: "!!!"

Submitting a resume is one thing, but showing up in person is another!

What is this big shot trying to do?

Without any hesitation, Yang Qian immediately got up and strode towards the reception room.

Pushing open the door, I saw a middle-aged man with some gray hair, slowly sipping tea from a disposable paper cup.

He stared intently at the poster of "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen" hanging on the wall of the reception room.

"Hello, Teacher Yuhua! Welcome to the Land of Light!"

Yang Qian immediately stepped forward, his attitude respectful.

"Hello, Mr. Guang, I've heard so much about you."

Yu Hua put down the paper cup and shook hands with Yang Qian with a smile.

He was calm and approachable.

"Teacher Yuhua, you're too kind. Please don't call me teacher. In front of you, I'm just a primary school student. Just call me Xiao Yang."

Yang Qian quickly replied that he dared not be disrespectful in front of this true literary master.

After exchanging a few polite words, the two took their seats.

"Teacher Yuhua, I'll be frank."

Yang Qian got straight to the point.

"What's going on with your resume?"

He pointed to the printout that Su Xiaoran had placed on the table.

"Aren't you a professor at Beijing Normal University? And with your achievements and age, why would you think of applying for a job at our small animation studio?"

It's worth noting that Yu Hua is not far from retiring.

Upon hearing this, Yu Hua's face revealed a mischievous smile.

"Looking for a job? What, Director Yang, don't welcome this old man?"

Yang Qian was both amused and exasperated.

"Teacher Yuhua, please stop making fun of me."

"If the news that a great writer and scholar like you is seeking employment in the Land of Light gets out, I'll be drowned in a sea of ​​online criticism."

"I really want to find a place to continue contributing my remaining energy."

Yu Hua suppressed her smile slightly and became more serious.

"real?"

Yang Qian still found it hard to believe.

"real."

Yu Hua nodded affirmatively.

Then, he raised his hand, index finger pointing upwards, and gently pointed to the ceiling.

Yang Qian understood instantly.

"Because of 'That Rabbit'?"

He asked tentatively.

Besides this work, which carries special significance.

He couldn't think of any other reason why someone like Yu Hua would come in person.

"More or less."

Yu Hua did not deny it, her tone carrying a hint of emotion.

"Some veteran comrades were deeply moved after watching the sample video and attached great importance to it."

"They believe that in this new era, it is very important to tell our story and convey our spirit in a way that young people like."

"So let this old guy who's about to retire come out and do his part, see if I can help with something practical."

He paused, looking at Yang Qian.

Is this considered a response to the delayed retirement policy?

Yang Qian was amused by Yu Hua's slightly teasing tone and relaxed a bit, so she followed up with a joke.

"That's great. We're actively responding to the call and can get two salaries."

Yu Hua: ...

Why does it feel like this kid has turned the tables on me?

Since he was sent by his superiors to make the most of his remaining years, Yang Qian had no reason to refuse, nor did he dare to refuse.

"Teacher Yuhua, regarding your joining the Land of Light, should I keep this information strictly confidential, or can I disclose it appropriately?"

Yang Qian sought opinions.

Yu Hua thought for a moment: "Let's keep it a secret."

"But don't expect me to do too much work. Just pretend I'm temporarily dead."

Yang Qian: "..."

A true master is a master; even his way of speaking is so unique.

However, he obviously didn't really believe Yu Hua was dead.

It's a waste to leave such a literary treasure trove unused.

That would be a terrible waste of resources and would be punished by heaven.

"Teacher Yuhua."

Yang Qian put on a sincere expression.

"Medical experts now recommend that older adults should engage in some mental work. Not using your brain often can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease."

"Although our Land of Light produces animation, the work of screenwriters requires a deep foundation in literature and profound thought."

"Perfect for you to exercise your mind."

Yu Hua: "???"

This guy is indirectly arranging a job for me, and he even says it's for my own good?

Yang Qian gave Su Xiaoran a wink.

"Xiao Ran, you go ahead and do your work. I need to talk to Teacher Yu Hua alone."

"Okay, Director Yang."

Su Xiaoran understood, left the reception room, and gently closed the door behind her.

At this moment, only Yang Qian and Yu Hua remained in the reception room.

Yang Qian picked up his personal tablet, unlocked it, brought up an encrypted folder, and pushed it in front of Yu Hua.

His expression was solemn.

"Teacher Yuhua, here are some preliminary project outlines and script outlines that I have planned for the future of the Land of Light."

"Some of these are still just preliminary ideas. Since you're here, why don't you take a look and offer some suggestions?"

The tablet contains excellent scripts that he redeemed from the system's points shop.

These are the future ammunition he is stockpiling for the Land of Light.

The only downside is...

These scripts need some localization adjustments.

Previously, it was Yang Qian who was doing it.

If a literary giant of Yu Hua's caliber could join in and lend his support...

Yu Hua initially just swiped the screen casually.

But as he watched, his expression gradually became serious, even showing a hint of surprise.

Half an hour later, Yu Hua slowly raised her head, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yang Qian was completely different.

"The younger generation is truly formidable..."

Yu Hua sighed sincerely.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that such a young animation director could exist.

My mind is filled with so many wonderful stories.

I have to admit, I might really be getting old.

"I'll take this job."

Without further hesitation, Yu Hua accepted Yang Qian's invitation.

"However, you'll have to give me a title like chief screenwriter consultant."

I don't participate in specific administrative tasks.

"No problem! Thank you so much, Teacher Yuhua!"

Yang Qian was overjoyed.

However, Yu Hua then made another request.

"Director Yang, I have one condition for taking this job."

"Please speak!"

"I think there's someone more suited for this job than me, at least in certain areas."

"I want to recommend him to join the Land of Light. Together, we might be able to do even better."

"Oh? Who is this expert?"

Yang Qian was curious.

"Tiesheng, Shi Tiesheng."

Yang Qian: ? ? ?

Tiesheng? Shi Tiesheng?!

Holy crap?!

In his mind, hadn't this person already passed away from illness many years ago?

Is Teacher Yuhua joking?

Suddenly, Yang Qian realized something was wrong.

This is a parallel world!

The fates of historical figures and contemporary figures can be completely different!

If Yu Hua wasn't joking...

"Teacher Tiesheng?"

"Is it the same Tiesheng who wrote 'Me and the Temple of Heaven' and 'Random Thoughts from a Sickbed'?"

"It was him."

Yu Hua affirmed.

Will he agree?

Yang Qian felt this was a bit surreal.

"He will agree."

Yu Hua's tone was very confident.

"He has always been interested in expressing his thoughts in new ways, but his physical condition has limited him."

"But the situation is a little different now."

Yang Qian's curiosity grew even stronger.

"Excuse me, Ms. Yuhua, what has Mr. Tiesheng been busy with lately?"

He needed to confirm whether the Shi Tiesheng in this world was healthy.

Yu Hua smiled slightly and said.

"Recently, Lao Mo, Tiesheng, and I, along with a few other old guys, formed a senior citizens' soccer team and play once a week."

"He's probably practicing on the court right now."

Yang Qian suddenly realized.

It turns out that Teacher Tiesheng in this world has both legs intact.

Therefore, he did not die prematurely due to complications such as uremia.

No wonder Yu Hua said the situation was somewhat different.

"That's good too; moderate exercise is good for your health."

Relieved, Yang Qian casually asked.

"I wonder if Coach Tiesheng plays center forward or striker?"

"Judging from the energy in his writing, he'd be quite good at charging into battle."

Yu Hua shook her head.

"goalkeeper."

Yang Qian nodded in understanding.

"Goalkeeper is good because the amount of exercise is relatively small and the range of activity is fixed, which is suitable for the health maintenance of the elderly."

Yu Hua glanced at Yang Qian and added.

"Yes, he uses a wheelchair, so the goalkeeper position is the most suitable for him."

Yang Qian: "???"

In a wheelchair?!

play soccer?!

goalkeeper?!

The teacher Tiesheng in this world seems to be even more formidable than he imagined.

No, it should be Teacher Yuhua who is more fierce.

[Tiesheng: Only Yu Hua didn't treat me like a disabled person, nor did he treat me like a human being!]

……

After seeing Yu Hua off, Yang Qian sat quietly alone in his office for a while.

Looking at the park scenery outside the window, I couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart.

"The world is wonderful, full of unexpected surprises."

The reason why Teacher Tiesheng did not pass away as early as he remembered is because...

Thanks to the world's more advanced medical technology and healthcare system.

However, the problem of paralysis in both legs still seems to be a medical challenge.

However, this does not diminish the brilliance of a great writer's thoughts in the slightest, and may even make his words more vibrant.

I'm in a good mood now that I've dealt with this important matter.

Yang Qian casually picked up another resume left by Su Xiaoran.

He decided to make a trip to the office of Li Lin, the park manager.

It's always better to give someone a heads-up beforehand; it makes you feel more at ease.

Before leaving, Yang Qian casually took a few of the new official merchandise items from Tianma Toys Factory from the sample cabinet in the corner of the office and stuffed them into an inconspicuous cloth bag.

"Manager Li, I'm here again to deliver specialties from the Land of Light to you."

Yang Qian walked into Li Lin's office with practiced ease and put the cloth bag on the table.

Inside the bag were the Evangelion Unit-01 figure, the Beta Magic Wand, and the SPD license.

The total is 79.6 yuan.

Upon seeing the familiar cloth bag and the familiar words, Li Lin remained calm.

He skillfully took a hundred-yuan bill from the drawer and pushed it over.

"Here's 100, keep the change."

Yang Qian didn't stand on ceremony and took the money.

"Manager Li, I'm here today mainly to consult on something."

Have you ever heard of an entertainer named Hu Pangbin?

Li Lin recalled for a moment.

"Hu Pangbin? The one whose ex-girlfriend earned 208 million yuan a day?"

"Yes, that's him."

Yang Qian nodded.

"Our Land of Light recently received a resume from him, applying for a voice actor position."

"I just want to ask, given his current situation, is it possible for us to consider hiring him?"

Are there any policy risks?

Li Lin glanced at Yang Qian.

I knew you wouldn't come knocking on my door to deliver local specialties unless it was something important.

However, seeing that Yang Qian rarely took the initiative to discuss such sensitive personnel issues with him, instead of making a rash decision on his own, he was quite pleased.

Li Lin was quite pleased, as it showed that Yang Qian was becoming more composed.

"Wait a moment, let me make a call and ask about the details."

Li Lin did not refuse. In front of him, he picked up the internal phone and dialed a relevant department for consultation.

Five minutes later, Li Lin hung up the phone and said to Yang Qian.

"You can hire me."

"The investigation has revealed that the evasion of huge sums of taxes and the signing of dual contracts were the personal actions of his ex-girlfriend."

"The two are not married and have no legal relationship of joint property or joint liability."

"Hu Pangbin himself appears to be implicated in this matter, but his personal tax situation has been verified and no major issues have been found."

"Of course, his public image and commercial value have indeed suffered a huge blow."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian felt a huge weight lifted from her shoulders: "That's wonderful! Thank you, Manager Li!"

"but."

Li Lin added with a serious expression, emphasizing it deliberately.

"There is one thing you must pay special attention to, and you must write it into the contract."

"Please speak," Yang Qian said seriously.

"Any future projects he participates in in the Land of Light, whether it's voice acting, singing theme songs, or other forms of collaboration."

Its content and the values ​​it conveys must strictly meet the requirements; absolutely no deviation is allowed!

"This is the red line!"

Li Lin stared at Yang Qian.

"Your Land of Light is now a target of great attention and is being given high expectations; you absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes on such matters of principle!"

Yang Qian nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Manager Li, that's perfectly fine."

"Products from the Land of Light are always of the highest quality, and values ​​are always our top priority."

Don't you trust us on this point?

Looking at Yang Qian's calm eyes, Li Lin felt a little more relaxed.

But I still couldn't help but mutter to myself.

Trust means having faith in the quality of your work and your character.

But I'm worried about your tendency to cause trouble and your overly stubborn nature...

……

The following day, in the reception room of the Kingdom of Light.

Hu Pangbin sat there with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

He was much thinner than before, and his brows had lost some of their former arrogance, replaced by a more composed demeanor.

When Yang Qian pushed the door open and came in, he immediately stood up.

"Hu Pangbin?"

Yang Qian sized him up.

"Director Yang, hello."

Hu Pangbin nodded somewhat reservedly.

Yang Qian didn't waste any time on pleasantries; he went straight to the opposite side of him and sat down, getting straight to the point.

"I've seen your resume and clips of some of your previous work. You have a good voice and potential."

"I have only one question."

"Director Yang, please ask."

"Do you engage in behaviors that damage your voice, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, or eating spicy food?"

"Director Yang, as a former singer, I still have these professional qualities."

Hu Pangbin emphasized.

Being a singer is his biggest dream.

He has never done anything to harm his own career.

"Okay, I understand."

Yang Qian nodded.

"Congratulations, you have passed the review. Now, join the Kingdom of Light."

Hu Pangbin: ? ? ?

So fast?!
