Chapter 35 New Works

  Yu Dong woke up in the latter half of the night. For some reason, he always felt that the person sitting opposite looked at him in a strange way.
“Friend, what’s the matter with you?” Yu Dong couldn’t help but ask.
The man shook his head and said nothing.
Yu Dong frowned and thought for a while, suddenly thought of a possibility, and quickly opened his backpack and checked it.
 In the end, everything was there, including the clothes, the manuscript of "One Day", and the more than 100 yuan in the pocket.
 He breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he was really a fool, and he was too suspicious.
Thinking about it, it's right. He didn't bring much money with him when he went out this time. Even if a thief wanted to steal, he wouldn't steal it from him.
Not far away, Ruan Xiaohu saw Yu Dong wake up and turned away silently. He was going to find Fei Qiang, and then told Fei Qiang that he no longer wanted to work with him.
As for what he wants to do, he hasn't decided yet, but he believes that since he has hands and feet, he will definitely not starve to death. Even if he does... he will die.
He originally wanted to go to the handsome young man and ask him what his name was, where he was from, and whether the novel in the bag was written by him... But he didn't dare.
 …
Yu Dong felt like he was falling apart after sitting in the car for more than thirty hours. After getting off the car, he took a deep breath. He had never felt that the air outside was so fresh, as if he had crawled out of an abyss.
When we arrived in Rongcheng, it was already past one o'clock at night. We definitely couldn't go to Yang Xiao and the others at this time, so Yu Dong found a place to sleep first, and then took the bus to the magazine office early the next morning.
The editorial office of the magazine is in a six-story building on Renmin South Road. Yu Dong stood downstairs with his bag on his back and looked at the building seriously. This building is of great significance to Chinese science fiction. He said it
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the place where Chinese science fiction is revitalized.
 “Hey, where are you looking for?”
A voice came. Yu Dong looked towards the door and saw an old man walking over with a teapot in his arms.
“Uncle, I’m looking for the Science Fiction World Editorial Department, is it in this building?”
The old man heard that Yu Dong spoke Mandarin and tried to speak Mandarin, "They are on the sixth floor. Are you here to find a job?"
It was probably the backpack on Yu Dong’s body that made the uncle guess this. Yu Dong did not explain, but said with a smile: “Thank you, uncle.”
 “Thank you, let’s go quickly.”
Yu Dong nodded and ran towards the stairs. There was no elevator on this floor, so he had to climb up.
He was young after all, and he went up several floors without any trouble.
As soon as he got to the sixth floor, he saw the sign of "Science Fiction World" and there were thoughtful guidance signs on the wall. Yu Dong found the location of the president's office at a glance.
Following the map, he walked to the southernmost office door. Yu Dong knocked lightly, and the originally ajar door was opened.
But Yang Xiao was not in the office. There was only a young man in his twenties who was organizing the documents in the cabinet.
Hearing the movement, the young man turned his head and looked over.
"Who are you?"
“Is this President Yang Xiao’s office?”
 Young man nodded, "Yes, are you looking for President Yang? She just went out, she should have gone to Editor Tan's place."
“Can I ask where the editor-in-chief Tan’s office is?” Yu Dong was just looking for the president’s office, but didn’t pay attention to where the editor-in-chief’s office was.
"Of course, I'll take you there. The editor-in-chief's office is on the other side." The young man was quite enthusiastic and took the initiative to put down the work at hand and lead Yu Dong to the editor-in-chief's office.
Yang Xiao was indeed in Tan Kai's office, and the two were talking at this time.
 The young man knocked on the door and said, "President Yang, someone is looking for you."
Yang Xiao and Tan Kai turned their heads at the same time.
Seeing Yu Dong at the door, Yang Xiao was in a daze for a moment, then stood up with a face of surprise and ran towards Yu Dong.
“Teacher Yu, I didn’t expect you to come.”
Yu Dong gently shook Yang Xiao's outstretched hand and said with a smile: "President Yang, didn't you ask me to come?"
“Haha, that’s not what I meant. I didn’t expect you to come so quickly.”
 Tan Kai, who was originally a little confused on the other side, heard the conversation between the two and immediately reacted and ran over quickly.
Before Yu Dong stretched out his hand, Tan Kai "snatched" Yu Dong's hand and held it tightly: "Teacher Yu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Oh, you don't know me yet, let me first
Let me introduce myself, I am Tan Kai, the editor-in-chief of the magazine."
"Hello, Teacher Tan." Feeling the strength of Tan Kai's palm, Yu Dong pursed his lips, "Teacher Tan must have been exercising regularly. His hands are quite strong."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Tan Kai quickly let go of Yu Dong's hand and said with a smile, "I'm excited for a while, I'm excited for a while."
Yang Xiao on the side glanced at the bag Yu Dong was carrying and said, "Let's stop hanging at the door. Put down the bag and let's sit down and chat. Xiao Li, could you please help Teacher Yu get a glass of water?"
 The young man who led Yu Dong in nodded blankly: "Oh, okay."
Yu Dong smiled and nodded towards Xiao Li: "Thank you very much."
 “You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
 While Xiao Li poured water for Yu Dong, he looked at Yu Dong who was surrounded by the president and editor-in-chief, with big doubts written on his small head.
On the way here just now, he was guessing who the young man was. He thought he was a distant relative of President Yang or something. When he got here, the reaction of the president and others was amazing. One teacher on the left and the other on the right shouted.
This young man looks to be about the same age as me. Apart from being pretty, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him.
After Yu Dong and others sat down, Yang Xiao spoke first: "You should have told us earlier that you were coming, so that we could pick you up."
“No, I know the address too. You are all busy, so there is no need to waste time picking me up.”
“It’s not that close from Jinling to here, so it won’t be an easy journey.”
Yu Dong shook his head, "It's okay. Although it takes a long time, I can still sleep in the car. When I came, it was drizzling in Jinling and the weather was a bit cold. But here in Chengdu, the sky is clear and clear.
The temperature is also higher.”
“Teacher Yu, if you like Rongcheng, you can stay here for a few more days. President Yang and I will accompany you around.” Tan Kai said with a smile. The smile on his face has not stopped since Yu Dong came in just now.
“Yes, I’m not boasting, the local food in Chengdu is definitely worth trying. To say that Jinling or Yanjing also have Sichuan cuisine, it may not be authentic,” Yang Xiao said.
 At this time, Xiao Li came over with tea, and Yu Dong took the tea cup and said, "Thank you very much."
Then he said to Yang Xiao and the others: "Thank you also to President Yang and Editor Tan for their kindness. I came here this time to ask for leave from Principal Wu. It only lasts four days in total. I have been delayed for two days. I will be here this afternoon.
Drive back."
"So." Yu Dong pulled the backpack next to him in front of him, unzipped it, and took out his briefcase, "I'm going to get right to the point. I came here this time to talk about "Second World" on the one hand, and on the other hand
