The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

"Miss An?"

"It's okay." An Yujing realized his gaffe, and shook his head, "It's all a long time ago. My main task now is the drama club, and I really don't have any thoughts about getting married."

Seeing that An Yujing didn't want to say anything, Xie Yan had no choice but to press the topic. Everyone has their own secrets, and some things are destined to be faced alone. Just like Xie Yan, he probably will never tell anyone about himself in his life. origin.

Xie Yan and An Yujing followed Wen Heng to the first floor. Wen Heng's study room on the ninth floor was located in the center of the whole building, with a carved lacquer door, which looked very dignified. Wen Heng stepped forward and knocked on the door. Come sound let them in.

This is the first time for Xie Yan to meet Wen Jiulou. This well-known ship tycoon in Hankou is in his 40s this year. He is the most mature and courageous age for a man. His appearance is not the same as Wen Heng's two brothers. The demeanor between them is exactly the same, and the arrogance of the superior can be seen at a glance.

"Master Wen." Xie Yan calmed down and said hello politely.

"Are you the gentleman that Shuangxia invited for Yan girl?" Wen Jiulou didn't know the relationship between Xie Yan and Wen Heng, so he just nodded when he saw this, and looked at the old man on the sofa by the window, "Mr. Wen, Everyone has already come, so don't be too secretive, just tell me what's going on mysteriously."

Xie Yan turned her head to look at the old man sitting by the window, with white hair and white beard, wearing a simple long gown, and a walking stick beside him, sitting by the window.

Hearing Wen Jiulou's words, the old man smiled cheerfully, looked at Xie Yan and his party, "Miss An, is the person next to you the Mr. Discovery?"

Seeing this, Xie Yan already understood that the old man was the old Mr. Wen Qibing who praised him in the newspaper in the morning. Hearing the words, he didn't dare to take it too seriously. What is the old man looking for me for?"

"Hahaha, young talent, young talent." Unexpectedly, Mr. Wen glanced up and down at him, and instead of answering the question, he stroked his beard and laughed, "When I look at you, I think of a friend who forgot his age and made friends with him. He stood in front of me a few years ago, although he didn't look like him, his temperament was almost carved out of your mold."

"It's a pity..." Old Mr. Wen thought of something, stopped smiling, shook his head and sighed.

"Miss An should have told you about my love for Hankou Qiyuan just now, and the main purpose of my trip is to find out who the author is." Mr. Wen quickly recovered and said, "Besides, I have one more thing I want to ask you about."

"Hankou Qiyuan?" Mr. Wen said this, before Xie Yan could answer, Wen Jiulou interrupted, "Hankou Qiyuan was written by you?"

"I wrote it. Where has Mr. Wen heard of this book?" Xie Yan was puzzled. Hankou Qiyuan has not been published for a long time, and Wen Chuanwang really doesn't seem like someone who has time to listen to books.

"Hi, I've found someone." Wen Jiulou laughed and walked up to Xie Yan, "The workers on the Hankou Wharf have spread the news all over the past few days, whether it's Aisha or a doctor. Even the cripple who cooks can say a few words, and I wait by the river every day to see if I can catch a foreign girl, but I have listened to it."

Wen Jiulou was in a happy mood, and stretched out his hand like a cattail leaf fan to pat Xie Yan's shoulder, "I said Xiao Xie, right? You know I don't have time to listen to books, so tell my uncle what the story behind it is?"

This is uncle?Feeling Wen Jiulou's enthusiasm, Xie Yan twitched the corner of her mouth, and for the first time intuitively recognized the popularity of his story.

But Mr. Ship King, considering his current small stature, can't your hand strength be a little smaller?

Xie Yan helplessly felt her numb shoulders from being slapped several times, and was about to think of a way to calmly remind him, but someone beside him directly grabbed Wen Jiulou's hand.

"Father, Xie Yan is the gentleman invited by my mother. Don't be too rude. Let my mother know that you need to take cultural lessons." Wen Heng moved Wen Jiulou's hand away and smiled faintly.

"..." Wen Chuanwang saw that his second son moved out of his wife, so he could only rub his nose, and withdrew his hand resentfully.

Well, this little Mr. Xie's body really couldn't stand a few shots, he was negligent for a while, but why did he always feel that something was wrong——Wen Heng, this kid, has the face of turning his elbows out of his father of it? !

Xie Yan didn't know that the weird son in Wen Chuanwang's heart couldn't help his father when he grew up. Seeing Wen Heng stopped Wen Jiulou, he heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "I have written the story of Hankou Romance into a novel. It will probably be finished in a few days, if uncle wants to know the plot, he can just read it then."

Just now Wen Jiulou mentioned Uncle, Xie Yan called too. He still has to work in the Wen family for a long time, so of course there is no need to turn down the ready-made opportunity to get closer to the head of the Wen family.

Wen Heng glanced at him suddenly, and looked away before Xie Yan noticed.

"Xie Xiaoyou, don't forget to give me a copy too." Mr. Wen hurriedly said aside, for fear that Xie Yan would forget him.

"Don't worry, my manuscript will be given to Ms. An when I finish writing it. Mr. Wen will ask her for it." Xie Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and finally understood why An Yujing would comment on Mr. Wen's old child.

"That's good." Mr. Wen stroked his beard in satisfaction, "Junzhi came to tell me the story of Hankou Romance that day, but stopped me from going to the teahouse to listen. He begged me to follow up."

"Junzhi?"

"Gu Junzhi is one of my students." Old Mr. Wen smiled, obviously despite his distaste on his lips, he was very satisfied with this student in his heart, "He is currently working under Fang Xunxuan, in charge of education, Hankou He is in charge of the new schools that are newly opened today."

Gu Junzhi?Xie Yan felt that the name sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, he finally found this person in his memory. Isn't this the big customer who comes to the teahouse every afternoon to listen to books?It seems that he was the one who first asked Mr. Shun about the author of Hankou Romance.

In this way, Mr. Wen’s explanation made sense after hearing Hankou Qiyuan before. Xie Yan sighed in his heart, the guests brought to the teahouse were also hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The favorite student of Mr. Wen Lao, who has been reused by reading.

"Speaking of Junzhi, the second thing I said about looking for you, actually has something to do with him." Mr. Wen brought the topic back.

"Please speak."

"You haven't been in Hankou for a long time, so you probably don't know much about the new school plan launched by the Huguang Education Bureau."

"New school plan?" Xie Yan had never heard of it.

"Huguang is rich and prosperous. The economy has been developing well in recent years. The government has a lot of budget. A strong country must first develop the wisdom of the people. Fang Xunxuan plans to spend a large amount of money on education. He will open a new school modeled on a Western-style school, so that everyone in Hankou Everyone has the opportunity to learn."

"In addition to the Huguang new-style school that Ms. An attended, which is equivalent to foreign universities, there are also new-style middle and primary schools for teenagers, and schools for adults. Junzhi has been busy with these things these days."

After Mr. Wen finished speaking, Xie Yan remembered one thing. The son of the money-grubbing Aunt Wang he met with Li Quan when he just traveled here, isn't he just going to be admitted to some new school?According to what Mr. Wen said, the son should have been admitted to a new-style middle school. I don’t know if he passed the exam.

However, this Fang Xunxuan is not greedy for money, nor does he spend all his budget on armaments, but is willing to waste such a lot of effort on developing education, which Xie Yan admires very much.

It is really a blessing for the people to have such a long-sighted ruler in Huguang.

"This plan can benefit the country and the people. I think there will be no objection, and the inspection has approved the funds. I wonder if there is anything else I can help with?" Xie Yan didn't understand why Mr. Wen wanted to tell him about the school.

"The several kinds of schools in the new school plan, the universities already existed, and many people signed up after the tuition fees were reduced for the elementary and middle schools. There is no need to worry about the source of students. It's just that this is a school for adults..." Mr. Wen didn't know what to do. How to explain the situation.

"But they feel that studying is very troublesome, and they don't understand it and don't need to learn it, so the school has been unable to recruit people?" Xie Yan expressed her understanding.

"Yes, I admit that their reasons are all reasonable, but we still feel that as an adult who is the backbone of the country, we have to read and understand." Mr. Wen insisted, "At least let them have enough knowledge. He will no longer be muddled, and will no longer follow what those in power say."

After Mr. Wen finished speaking, Xie Yan didn't speak immediately, but fell into deep thought. It is true that Mr. Wen's thoughts and actions are not unreasonable, but those adults who don't want to study have done nothing wrong.

After all, for ordinary families, on the one hand, the working income of adults is the source of income for the whole family. They can send their children to study, but they don’t have the courage to put down work to study; on the other hand, for these people, Their life has been fixed, unlike children who have a future, instead of wasting time studying, it is better to earn more money.

Given these two practical reasons, it is not surprising that the adult schools sponsored by the Huguang government cannot recruit students.

"Does the adult school teach all day long?" Xie Yan confirmed.

"No." Mr. Wen shook his head, "We know that adults need to work to support their families, and they don't have time to go to school full-time, so we adopted the model of free class. There are three classes a day for the same class, and you can choose your time to listen freely. But it didn't do much."

Then the problem is mainly that adults feel that their own reading is useless, Xie Yan nodded, and probably understood why Mr. Wen was looking for him.

"Mr. Wen, do you want me to write a story similar to Hankou Qiyuan to promote the adult school?"

"Yes." Old Mr. Wen nodded with a smile, "I found that the audience of your story coincides with our student source target very much, since you can promote Western medicine in the book and let them accept and try this new treatment method, Then it will definitely change their minds about reading.”

In other words, Mr. Wen wants Xie Yan to help write a popular and interesting soft article to publicize the new adult school run by the Education Bureau, so that people will be willing to learn and accept new knowledge.

Seeing that she had guessed right, Xie Yan scratched her head helplessly. Mr. Wen had already reached this point, and of course he couldn't refuse such a thing that benefited the country and the people.

It's just that he is an elite lawyer with a three-inch tongue. After time travel, from storytelling to drama clubs and now writing promotional soft articles, why hasn't he been able to do his own job, but instead has everything to do with entertainment?

The author has something to say:

Wen Heng: I didn't turn my elbow outward, but turned it in, thank you.
