Chapter 146 - 136_2
Chen Jian Country already kind of idolized Yan Zhen Guo, so when he heard that even Yan Zhen Guo’s wife had attended, he felt instantly proud and nodded, asking Chen Bajin to go and inquiring if she had the travel expenses covered.
Of course Chen Bajin had the travel expenses. She carefully arranged her hair and then walked out with a backpack.
Gu Fuqiao had explained to Chen Bajin how to get to the author’s gathering, so Chen Bajin followed the route provided by Gu Fuqiao and took the bus over.
After getting off the bus, she remembered Gu Fuqiao saying the place was still a distance away from the bus station, so she needed to take a cab to get there.
Just as Chen Bajin was about to wave down a rickshaw after getting off the bus, a bicycle suddenly stopped in front of her. She looked up and found it was Wang Yunqing.
"Mr. Yun Zhonghe, what are you doing here?" Chen Bajin looked at Wang Yunqing with some surprise and delight; she hadn’t expected to encounter her idol even here.
Wang Yunqing chuckled and said, "I happened to be passing through here; you’re attending the meeting too, right?"
Chen Bajin nodded and said, "Yes, I’m going to the meeting as well. I was just about to get a rickshaw."
Wang Yunqing quickly told Chen Bajin not to bother with a rickshaw, saying she could sit on the back seat of his bicycle. Chen Bajin originally felt a bit embarrassed, but after Wang Yunqing insisted, she found it hard to refuse and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
As Wang Yunqing pedaled the bike, he talked to Chen Bajin about writing matters; Chen Bajin was just starting in writing and didn’t understand much. Listening to Wang Yunqing’s advice made her think even more that Wang Yunqing was quite the expert.
Chen Bajin wanted to discuss writing techniques further with Wang Yunqing, but that part of the journey quickly passed.
After stopping the bicycle, Wang Yunqing told Chen Bajin to go inside first, and that he would come in later.
