Chapter 713: The Father of Steampunk
"Xiaoxia!" The two of them waved to Tian Xiaoxia at the same time, and then the red tie looked at Shen Long in surprise, who was he? Why is it so familiar?
Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure, walked up to the two of them generously, shook hands with Shen Long first, and then shook hands with the red tie, "Come, let me introduce you to you, this is my boyfriend Sun Shaoping, who works in the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles; Shaoping, this is my colleague Gao Lang from the newspaper. ”
"Hello Reporter Gao." Shen Long stretched out his hand to him, and now he knew who the other party was, Gao Lang was a top student in the Chinese Department of Northwest University, and like Xiaoxia, he was a new reporter who had just joined the newspaper this year.
By the way, his background is similar to Xiaoxia, his father is the deputy mayor of the provincial capital, and his grandfather Gao Bujie is a member of an important committee of the Central Committee. In most people's eyes, he and Xiaoxia do the same job, and they are the right match, which seems to be a good match, but Xiaoxia has no idea at all.
Oh, by the way, they are still the only two newcomers admitted to the provincial newspaper this year, if only one can be said to be a coincidence, if the two are together, it means that there must be a problem here, Xiaoxia's classmates in Huangyuan Normal College guessed that it was not wrong, Xiaoxia can get this job and his father Tian Fujun is inseparable.
Maybe Tian Fujun didn't do anything, but obviously the provincial newspaper staff in charge of hiring already knew the identity and background of Xiaoxia and Gao Lang, hey, no matter what time it is, unfairness is everywhere.
"Oh, hello Comrade Shaoping." Shen Long waited for a while, Gao Lang came to his senses, reached out and shook Shen Long's hand, and it was a touch of the part, this news hit him hard, and the three words of boyfriend spit out from Xiaoxia's mouth were like three hammers, hitting Gao Lang's chest hard, making his chest feel stuffy for a while, and he was a little speechless.
At this time, Shen Long did not continue to speak, he knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would be regarded as the irony of the victor by Gao Lang, according to the description in Shen Long, he couldn't see anything wrong with Gao Lang, he was not as bad as some people from the same background, and even wrote several high-quality reports, there was no need to get along with him.
Moreover, to be honest, Shen Long can't be regarded as an opponent, whether it is his confidence in himself or his confidence in Xiaoxia, Gao Lang is not worth mentioning.
"Gao Lang, thank you for picking me up, but my boyfriend is here today, so I don't need to trouble you, when I go back to work, I'll invite you to dinner." Xiaoxia said that although she thanked Gao Lang, she only treated him as a colleague, and did not leave him room for reverie, nor did she make Gao Lang too embarrassed.
"Oh, it's okay, I took the plunge! Then I won't bother you, see you at the newspaper office on Monday. Gao Lang barely maintained his gentlemanly demeanor, it seemed that he was tempted for the first time, this blow was not light, looking at the way he walked, he was a little eager to disappear from Xiaoxia and Shen Long's sight immediately.
Shen Long and Xiaoxia deliberately slowed down, and when they got out of the airport, Gao Lang had already driven away, although he was only a young reporter who had just graduated, but with his father's connection, he could easily borrow a car from the city government.
After getting into Shen Long's car, Xiaoxia explained to him that there were only two college students who entered the provincial newspaper last year, and they were also in the city working group at the same time, so they quickly became familiar with each other.
The newspaper office has always been a unit that ranks seniority, and as "grandchildren", they can't help but have some bumps with the "old children" and "grandparents", so the relationship between the two peers has naturally become close.
It's just that not long ago, Xiaoxia sensitively realized that this guy was a little too attentive to her, and seemed to be about to express something, Xiaoxia was sent on a business trip before she could explain it clearly to Gao Lang, and then came back without informing Gao Lang, I don't know where he got the news.
"But that's fine, he should understand what I mean when he sees you." Xiaoxia looked at Shen Long, she also trusted the other party very much, and didn't think that this little episode would cause any misunderstanding.
"A girl as good as you would be surprised if no one pursued her." Shen Long said, and then the two of them put Gao Lang aside and talked about Xiaoxia's recent work.
After talking about her work, Xiaoxia asked about Shen Long's recent situation, and when she learned that "Yellow Earth" had been filmed, Xiaoxia was looking forward to it, "When the movie is released, let's go watch it together!" ”
The reunion between the two of them is because of a movie "The Prince's Revenge" dubbed by Sun Daolin, how long has it been before his work is about to be adapted into a movie and released, all this is too fast, right?
"It is estimated that it will take a while, and the movie is not only filmed well, but also the post-production is very labor-intensive." Shen Long popularized the common sense of film shooting to Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia listened very carefully, as a reporter has an urgent need for all kinds of new knowledge, who knows if she will arrange for herself to interview a certain crew next time, and it is also very beneficial for Xiaoxia to know the work status of the crew in advance, not to mention that this is still the work of her beloved.
The car drove into the city, and the two of them did not go to the "Black Swan" restaurant by the drum tower, but went directly back to Shen Long's residence, since Shen Long started cooking, Xiaoxia and his party rarely went out to eat; During the time when Shen Long was not in the provincial capital, Xiaoxia also ate a lot of high-grade restaurants, not to mention the hospitality she received during the interview, there may be very few things that Shen Long cooked so deliciously.
Whether it is out of appetite or personal feelings, Xiaoxia prefers to cook at home with Shen Long, but she doesn't need her help today, Shen Long has already prepared everything, and now she only needs to fry a few times.
The two chatted while eating, and this time the topic was changed to Shen Long's hugely controversial "Happy Hunting", although he deleted a lot of large-scale things, it still caused a lot of controversy, such as the combination of gods and monsters and science fiction, which has never been done before.
There is also the difference between Xiangjiang in the book and Xiangjiang in reality, at this time, people will not understand what a parallel universe is, let alone the steampunk world depicted in the book.
Even the concept of steampunk wasn't introduced by Jetter until 1987 to describe the work of three Californian authors, Tim Powers, James Blaylock, and Jettel.
"Happy Hunting" can be said to be the world's first steampunk science fiction work, and perhaps in this world, Sun Shaoping's title will be added to the title of the father of steampunk.
