Chapter 167: Try It and See

After class, Li Ye was about to leave, but was stopped by the monitor Zhen Zhen Rongrong.

"Li Ye, the class committee is having a meeting today, stay."

"Oh~"

Li Ye walked over with his schoolbag on his back.

She had experienced Mu Mu Yunning's decisiveness, and he had become a member of the class committee?

After the Youth League Committee meeting started, Li Ye listened silently to the discussions of other classmates and basically didn't speak much, but his strong observation ability quietly recorded everyone.

Zhen Zhen Rongrong, the monitor, is still very capable, thoughtful and decisive, and handled several class affairs quite reasonably.

Although it looks like just a few small things, but seeing the small and knowing the big, seeing the leaves and knowing the autumn, Li Ye believes that Zhen Zhen Rongrong's future is limitless as long as she encounters opportunities.

The last thing discussed was about the New Year's Eve party.

It is now mid-December of 1982, and the footsteps of 1983 are approaching. Suddenly, Li Ye has been in this world for more than a year.

Zhen Zhen Rongrong looked at her notebook and said: "There are only seven confirmed New Year's Eve programs now, and the estimated duration is less than forty minutes, so we need to mobilize the enthusiasm of students and encourage them to participate actively..."

The study committee member He He Dazhuang agreed and said: "This New Year's Eve party is our class's first formal class activity. We class committee members must take the lead, and everyone must have two programs."

Then, He He Dazhuang said to Li Ye very casually: "Li Ye, you are also a member of the class committee now, so you can't hold everyone back."

Li Ye nodded calmly and said: "Okay, I'll prepare."

Zhen Zhen Rongrong turned to look at Li Ye, obviously very surprised.

Because just two days ago, Zhen Zhen Rongrong encouraged Li Ye to report a program, but Li Ye refused without thinking.

Zhen Zhen Rongrong made a guarantee that "I will definitely not let classmates laugh at you," but Li Ye was unmoved and fell behind to the end.

But now He He Dazhuang said it casually, why did Li Ye agree? And reported two programs at once?

What? Is my Zhen Zhen Rongrong's words not as good as He He Dazhuang's?

Zhen Zhen Rongrong couldn't help but ask Li Ye: "Then what program are you going to report?"

Li Ye said without hesitation: "I'll write a script, and then the class will find someone to rehearse a short play. That counts as one. In addition, I'll think about performing something else when the time comes."

Zhen Zhen Rongrong was about to speak, but He He Dazhuang grabbed it and said: "Writing a script is not performing, right? Does that count as a program?"

Li Ye said lightly: "I think it counts. Why don't we vote on it?"

"..."

Everyone was stunned. Li Ye didn't speak for a long time just now, and everyone thought he was low-key and gentle!

It was only now that they understood that some people are born with hidden edges. Once touched, they are inevitably sharp.

He He Dazhuang's face was very bad. Li Ye had only joined the Youth League for a long time, and today he entered the class committee. He felt that it was "not meeting the conditions" in the first place, and now he was being embarrassed on the first day? What is this?

But fortunately, someone came in from the door and helped He He Dazhuang out of the siege.

"Li Ye, Li Ye, you are mysterious all day, and you made me look for you! Hurry up and go with me."

Li Yang Huaisheng came over in two or three steps and dragged Li Ye's arm away.

Li Ye smiled and said: "What's the rush? We are having a class committee meeting! If it doesn't work, I'll find you later."

Zhen Zhen Rongrong immediately said: "Today's class committee meeting is over, Li Ye, you go do your business."

"Go, go, go, everyone is waiting for you," Li Yang Huaisheng dragged Li Ye and said while walking: "I made an appointment with a few students from the school Youth League Committee today, you have to go and see them together."

Li Yang Huaisheng dragged Li Ye away in a hurry, but Zhen Zhen Rongrong and the others looked at each other, each with their own feelings in their hearts.

Li Ye didn't make a sound or show off on weekdays, but he didn't make a sound, and actually mixed into the school Youth League Committee.

How could his path be so wide?

Li Ye left the classroom and rode his bicycle.

Li Yang Huaisheng jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle and pointed to the direction of the school's south gate: "Target Zhao's Restaurant, advance."

Li Ye smiled: "Heh, how many people did you make an appointment with today! Do I need to go back to the dorm to get more bullets?"

Bullets are banknotes. Usually, everyone gathers for dinner, and Li Ye doesn't rush to pay the bill every time, but whenever the spending is relatively large, Li Ye will fill in some, or simply take the initiative to pay the bill.

You treat me to a meal, I treat you to a meal, so everyone feels comfortable.

Li Yang Huaisheng said atmospherically: "Our manuscript fee has arrived today! Don't worry, the ammunition is sufficient."

"The manuscript fee has arrived, then we must celebrate, celebrate," Li Ye thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I originally made an appointment with a classmate to eat together today, why don't I take him with me?"

"You are really dawdling, hurry, hurry, hurry."

"Okay, sit tight, let you feel the speed of the wind."

Li Ye pedaled hard to the canteen, pulled Sun Sun Xianjin, who had already eaten half-full, onto the big beam of the bicycle, and went straight to Zhao's Restaurant outside the south school gate.

Zhao's Restaurant is also a family restaurant, but after two years of operation, it has begun to take shape. The dining environment and dishes are very good, and Jingda students like to come here to improve their food.

After arriving at the restaurant, Li Yang Huaisheng led them into a large room, where nine people were already sitting, seven of whom were from the Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Literary Society, and the other two should be from the school Youth League Committee.

Li Ye looked at one person who looked familiar, and after careful identification, his mood was agitated.

Fate is such a coincidence.

"Li Ye, you are finally here. If you don't come again, we will go to the girls' dormitory building to catch you!"

Yang Yang Yumin teased Li Ye as soon as he entered the door, which immediately enlivened the atmosphere.

"Hahahahaha~"

"We are jealous of this. He was born with a good face by his parents, and his brain is smart. What is Li Ye's word? Yes, envy, jealousy, and hatred."

"Hahahahaha~"

Li Ye pulled the restrained Sun Sun Xianjin to sit down and introduced: "This is the youngest in our dorm,

Because our grandfathers have some similarities, we usually get along well. Today, I happened to pull him over to help me block the wine. Don't mind, everyone."

Yang Yang Yumin smiled and said: "What's there to mind? It's not that we don't know Sun Xianjin, but we really don't know what similarities your grandfathers have."

Li Ye pondered for a while and said in a low voice: "My grandfather followed the team at fifteen, and Sun Xianjin's grandfather joined the Anti-Japanese United Army at eighteen,

It's just that my grandfather came back, and Sun Xianjin's grandfather didn't come back... so some of our ideas are relatively unified."

"..."

The room was silent for a while. Everyone who was laughing just now was a bit embarrassed, and then their faces were solemn.

Yang Yang Yumin looked at the other two, and the one at the head of the wine table raised his glass to everyone silently.

Everyone raised it, even the girl Bian Bian Jingjing poured a glass of wine.

"Respect, the heroic predecessors!"

"Drink it all."

"Dry!"

Sun Sun Xianjin drank the wine into his stomach in one gulp, tears blurred, and didn't know whether it was choked by the wine or missing the grandfather he had never met.

But after these two glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the wine table was not so heavy, and everyone soon discussed the development of the literary society, and everyone expressed their suggestions with responsibility, discussing very enthusiastically.

Everyone reached a consensus, that is, to firmly promote the unyielding will of the Chinese nation and enhance everyone's sense of identity as descendants of the dragon.

After all, whether it was thousands of years ago or decades ago, this nation had faced strong enemies and fought unyieldingly.

"Everyone gathered here today, first to discuss the next development plan of our literary society,

Second, our manuscript fee has arrived, so we must let everyone taste the fruits of hard work."

After three rounds of wine, Li Yang Huaisheng took out a stack of manuscript fees from his pocket and started discussing the distribution problem.

"After our discussion, we decided to distribute according to work. Yang Yumin and Li Ye contributed the most, and the rest were distributed equally..."

Li Yang Huaisheng finished the distribution plan, and everyone who participated in the creation of "Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Homeward" could get a sum of money.

And Li Ye got twenty yuan, which was one of the largest shares, and the rest only had a few yuan of symbolic meaning.

Li Ye immediately declined: "I don't want this money. The historical data was checked by everyone, the manuscript was written by Old Yang, and I just gave a few ideas. I am ashamed to accept it."

"Not ashamed at all," Yang Yang Yumin said affirmatively: "Since you listed seven suggestions last time, we improved them in the subsequent writing, and the reader letters have increased several times,

But there is not a single one that is scolding. You don't know how anxious I was at the time, but I have so much motivation to write now."

"Hahaha, this is true. Now Old Yang can write for six or seven hours a day, and that spirit is really vigorous."

Li Ye hurriedly said: "This won't work, Old Yang, you can't be so hard. You must arrange rest time reasonably, and you can't just write and delay your proper studies."

"No, no," Yang Yang Yumin said: "Every course of mine is in the top three in the class. I study history. Now while writing, I am also increasing my knowledge!"

"That won't work either!"

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "Why don't you help me buy some snacks, nutritional supplements, etc.? Put them in the activity room, and I can also replenish my physical loss when I go to participate in activities at night."

"You don't need to worry about this," Li Yang Huaisheng said: "We have already left nearly two hundred yuan of manuscript fees as the activity fund for the literary society, but when next month's manuscript fee arrives, we will still distribute a considerable manuscript fee to everyone."

Li Ye thought for a while and had to agree to accept the distribution plan.

He didn't care about these twenty yuan, but if he declined again and again, what would the rest of the people do?

The manuscript fee is available every month. You were "noble" this time, but you blocked everyone's "financial path."

And Li Yang Huaisheng proposed the distribution plan in front of the school Youth League Committee, which was actually seeking future benefits for everyone. Li Ye couldn't say it here even if he didn't want his share.

After everyone got their manuscript fees, Li Yang Huaisheng said: "We have saved enough money for our balance, and according to what Li Ye said, buying some snacks and nutritional supplements won't cost much,

I suggest using the remaining money to buy a bicycle as a public transportation tool for the literary society. What do you think?"

"Good, I support it."

"That must be agreed, we run around every day, and our legs are running thin."

Everyone agreed unanimously.

Don't look at Li Ye not taking his bicycle seriously, but Li Yang Huaisheng and the others envy it.

More than one hundred and sixty yuan, and a bicycle ticket. Although it is not absolutely unaffordable in 1982, university students live on campus, and most families will not equip them with a bicycle.

The difference between walking on legs and a bicycle is huge.

Li Yang Huaisheng smiled and said: "But we have saved enough money, we have to solve the bicycle ticket ourselves!"

The two Youth League Committee cadres looked at each other and smiled.

"I knew your Li Yang Huaisheng's wine is not easy to drink. Are you asking us for support?"

Li Yang Huaisheng was exposed, but he was not ashamed, and said without changing his face: "We poor students really have difficulties, can the school support us?

Anyway, we can't take this bicycle away. Passing it down from generation to generation is equivalent to school assets, right?"

The two Youth League Committee cadres discussed for a while and shook their heads.

Finally, they could only say: "It's basically impossible this year. We will try our best to help you apply next year. If it really doesn't work, I will pay for you to get one, okay?"

"How can I let you pay? We will find a way ourselves!"

Li Yang Huaisheng was actually hitting a pole with or without dates. The two Youth League Committee cadres were only two levels higher than him and had just started working, so they were not sure how much face they had.

Li Ye looked at it and had to say: "Actually, I can think of a way."

Everyone looked over in surprise.

Li Ye said calmly: "I often go to the Second People's Mall and participate in their discount promotion activities as a promotion staff member.

There is a fellow villager from Dongshan in the mall. I will go and talk to him another day. Buying a special car should not be a problem."

"Look, the little brother still has a way!"

"The little brother is really capable!"

Everyone praised Li Ye, and the two Youth League Committee cadres were also much more relaxed, looking at Li Ye with quite friendly eyes.

Li Ye smiled and said again: "Actually, if we think of a way, maybe it won't be difficult to buy a bicycle in the future."

"Think of a way, must think of a way, Li Ye, hurry up and think."

"Hahahahaha~"

Li Ye ignored Yang Yang Yumin's teasing and said with a smile: "Everyone should know that Seven-Inch Blade's 'Flying Wind' has already been serialized in Hong Kong magazines, so our 'Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Homeward' can also be!"

"..."

"Can this work?"

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work?"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes gradually brightening.

Li Ye agreed to Blue Sea's plan in order to land in Hong Kong as soon as

"."

"Will this work?"

"How will we know if we don't try?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their eyes gradually brightening.

At the time, in order to enter the Hong Kong market as quickly as possible, Li Ye had agreed to the plan from Blue Sea, accepting RMB as payment for his manuscripts.

But since the Solitary Army Literary Society is, after all, an official organization under the school, there is still some room for negotiation when dealing with Blue Sea Publishing.

"Then you all should give it a try. If you really can get your works published in Hong Kong periodicals, I will certainly report it to the school and strive for greater support for you."

"Let's try it then. We will all work together with one heart and spread our ideas to Hong Kong."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heated, filled with a fervor of rising to the challenge.

Yet, Li Ye, standing to the side, remained indifferent, not taking it to heart.

Later, he would have his routine call with Pei Pei Wencong and would mention it in passing—it shouldn't be a big problem.

Thanks to book friend "Xu Ruwang Xiang Shuijiao" for the 5,000-point tip. Thanks to the big boss for the support, truly, thank you very much!!!
