Chinese entertainment for engineering students

The living room is decorated somewhat like a small bar, except there is no bar counter. Some green plants, some decorations, and a few small tables and sofa seats fill up the small room.

Editor Yang arrived earlier than Wang Xu expected. Not long after Wang Xu had just sat down, he saw a man and a woman walking in. The man looked like he was in his 30s, and his clothes were a little old and had a sense of vicissitudes of life.

The woman looks quite young, with no makeup, tight skin, and dignified appearance. She should be under thirty years old.

As the name suggests, the reception room is a place for the studio to receive guests. The people who receive it look familiar even if they look up or down. If a stranger comes, he is usually a guest, let alone two.

Wang Xu quickly stood up and walked quickly to the door.

"Editor Yang, I am Wang Xu, and this is my girlfriend Wang Fei. Who is this?" Wang Xu greeted Yang Xinlan from a distance. It was the first time we met, so it was better to be warm.

He had spoken to Editor Yang, and he could still tell the difference between male and female.

"This is my colleague, editor Hong Qingbo, who is also my senior. He is also very curious about your article, so let's take a look." Yang Xinlan took two steps forward, shook hands with Wang Xu and Wang Fei, and then introduced her colleagues colleague.

"Hello, hello. Editor Hong."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Xu asked the two of them to sit down, while Wang Fei ran to the dessert shop to pick out desserts. Each studio will issue some dessert coupons every month as a company benefit.

Generally, studios are used to entertain their own clients. If it is not enough, then you have to pay for it yourself. At the beginning, this was to support dessert shops. Now, in fact, the dessert shops already have some names, and this little support is just a benefit.

There are not many varieties in the dessert shop now. The main reason is that if you do too much, it will go bad. But it is different every day, and there are many good ones. I like this one very much. I come here from time to time to have a bite. But the price is really impressive. I dare to come here. There are not many people.

However, there are a few foreigners who come here to drink coffee from time to time. They are brought here from the clothing store. They will also provide some desserts and snacks to the customers and leave the address of the dessert shop to interested customers.

This kind of diversion was not uncommon in later generations, but it has not become popular now, but Wang Xu has accumulated a lot of customers here by accident.

Birthday cakes have not become popular in the Imperial Capital these days, let alone dessert shops. Only some foreign-related hotels offer this service. It was only in the late 1990s that the people of the Imperial Capital were really willing to eat birthday cakes.

Milk tea, coffee, snacks, many of the guests here are engaged in literature and art. This kind of romantic atmosphere is particularly popular here, which gave this dessert shop with unaffordable prices the first batch of loyal customers. .

Wang Fei has also fallen in love with desserts since she was no longer afraid of getting fat. Desserts can naturally mobilize happy hormones, so since Wang Fei came back, she would come down to get desserts from time to time, and today was no exception.

Four beautiful small cakes and four cups of fragrant milk tea. The milk tea is also served in mugs, not like the drinking straws of later generations.

In fact, coffee, a purely Western-style drink, is not loved by people in the imperial capital. Even decades later, most of the coffee shops in the imperial capital have closed down. Here, coffee-flavored milk tea sells far better than coffee.

Wang Xu chatted wildly with the two editors, talking about the origin of the idea, the hardships of creation, and the real story. He didn't even bother to make graphene. It was a world-class achievement.

Hong Qingbo was very curious about why Wang Xu wrote this novel in an almost purely conversational way. This mode is really rare in this era of paper books.

It’s not impossible. At least Salue, a writer that Hong Qingbo likes very much, is famous for his dialogues. However, works using this mode rarely appear in the Chinese literary world.

This is one of the reasons why "The Legend of Wukong" has received a lot of praise in later generations. Of course, his middle-class temperament also makes many young people particularly admire him.

However, Wang Xu's version of "The Legend of Wukong" has more tragic aspects, while the second version has a lot less. After all, he added the part of "Journey to the West", and the funny and absurd elements have been expanded a lot.

In order to balance the rhythm and style of the entire book, Wang Xu's rewriting process was extremely difficult. Therefore, this version of "The Legend of Wukong" really cannot be said to be a ported work.

But Wang Xuzhen couldn't say that he had mistakenly boarded a pirate ship and therefore used the conversational style of writing, so he had no choice but to chat with Hong Qingbo about Salvador.

This Peruvian writer's works have been translated to China. I don't know if he has paid any copyright fees, but he is indeed a niche writer that is very popular among young people.

You have to know that in any era, niche people will have their own unique style, at least the people who love niche people will think so.

And the public who are ignorant of this will be sucked in from time to time and look up to those niche works.

Before the rise of the Internet, media writers who had the right to speak tended to favor various niche enthusiasts, so there was such a magical phenomenon. In the 1990s, the more niche something was, the more popular it was. high.

Salue is undoubtedly such a figure. In fact, he has won many international awards in this era and should not be considered a niche.

But not many people in China know him, and he has become one of the writers sought after by a small number of fans.

His "Long Talk in the Bar" was written in the form of a dialogue. Later, he even won the Nobel Prize for Literature for this book. Wang Xu only started to know him after winning the award.

But at this time, this book has not been translated to China. Later Wang Xu saw this book in the 21st century, and he had never read it. It was not for engineering students.

In this life, Wang Xu also looked for this book specifically for "The Legend of Wukong" and bought its English version in Xiangjiang.

Wang Xu didn't take today's meeting too seriously. It would be good if it could be published, but it didn't matter if it couldn't be published. He didn't really want to spend energy on literature now.

To be honest, the creative process of Wang Xu's "The Legend of Wukong" was not very beautiful, although he also enjoyed the pleasure of the final product taking shape.

Wang Xu was more communicating with two literary lovers. Both editors were well-read people. Wang Xu really rarely had the opportunity to communicate with such people, so today's chat was particularly speculative.

Wang Xu, who was enjoying the conversation, naturally asked Wang Fei to go upstairs and find the book. Then Wang Fei got up and obediently went to find the book for Wang Xu, then took it down and handed it to Wang Xu with a smile.

Wang Xu took the book and gently squeezed Wang Fei's hand. The beauty's feelings were all hidden in words. This girl really understands men.

After only sighing for a few seconds, Wang Xu handed the book to Hong Qingbo again. This is borrowing, not giving. Borrowing books between book friends is the best way. Haven't you heard a saying, you can't read a book unless you borrow it.

The two editors happily accepted. This is the etiquette among book friends. They recommend their favorite books to their friends, lend them to them, look forward to their feedback, and then discuss with each other.

This is the romance of the era of paper books, face-to-face communication, a book, two cups of tea, and a pack of cigarettes, two people can really chat for a long time.

In the era of e-books, the style of painting is completely different. The comment area is the battlefield for discussion. I can’t say which one is better, but they are indeed different styles.
