Chapter 299 is still well preserved
Lou Xiao'e looked at him, her brows slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little wary. She didn't say anything, but her eyes revealed a kind of vigilance.
Liu Guangtian noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and explained with a smile: "I know you may have some doubts about me, but I am here to deal with some work matters. I want to discuss some cooperation opportunities with Xiaodang. I heard that you are preparing a new work?"
Xiao Dang felt a little relieved after hearing his explanation. She looked at Su Ming and said, "Yes, we are indeed planning to write a novel together. However, we are still in the preliminary stage and have not yet determined the specific content and direction."
Liu Guangtian nodded and said with a smile: "That's great. I heard about your cooperation before and I think it is a project with great potential. I also hope to be able to provide you with some help and support in this process."
Su Ming was slightly stunned when he heard him say this. He knew that Liu Guangtian had a certain influence and resources in the literary world. If they could get his support, it would be a great help to their creation.
Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e's expression eased a little. She asked calmly: "Mr. Liu, what kind of support do you want to provide us?"
Liu Guangtian smiled and said frankly: "I can help you publish and promote more smoothly, and I also have some resources and connections for your reference. Of course, we can slowly discuss the specific details of the cooperation to ensure that both parties can obtain the greatest benefits."
His words revealed a kind of sincerity and truthfulness, which made everyone present feel his sincerity. Su Ming and Xiao Dang exchanged glances, and both of them were a little hesitant.
Finally, Su Ming said, "Mr. Liu, we will consider your suggestion. But we are still in the preparation stage and need time to decide the most appropriate way of cooperation. I hope you can understand."
Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. I will wait for your decision. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me."
He left his business card and left Xiaodang's apartment. He smiled as he left, but both Lou Xiao'e and Su Ming could sense the underlying impact and uncertainty he left behind.
Back in the living room, the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xiao Dang sighed softly and said, "I was a little surprised by Liu Guangtian's appearance, but his proposal sounds quite tempting."
Su Ming nodded and said seriously, "But we can't rush to accept his help. We need to think carefully. Literary creation is our original intention, and any external factors should not affect our creative direction and principles."
Su Ming grew up in Beijing and has a special feeling for the old Beijing courtyards. This feeling comes from the good times he and his grandfather spent in the courtyard. Su Ming's grandfather, Mr. Su, is a typical old Beijinger with a cheerful personality and a kind heart. Their family lives in an old courtyard deep in the alley. The courtyard has been repaired and maintained by several generations and is still well preserved.
The layout of the courtyard is very particular. The main room is north-south and faces south, with east and west wing rooms on both sides. In the middle of the courtyard is a small garden with several osmanthus trees and a pomegranate tree. In autumn, the osmanthus tree blooms, filling the courtyard with fragrance, and pomegranates hang on the branches, with red fruits that are very attractive. There is also an old well in the corner of the courtyard. The well water is clear and sweet. In summer, my grandfather often uses the well water to cool Su Ming down.
Su Ming spent his childhood in this courtyard. Whenever the sun sets, his grandfather would sit on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, fanning himself and telling Su Ming stories about old Beijing. From the prosperity of the imperial city to the trivial life in the alleys, from the snacks of old Beijing to the architectural features of the courtyard, Su Ming gained a deep understanding and strong interest in the history and culture of old Beijing through his grandfather's narration.
As time went by, Su Ming grew up and his love for the Siheyuan became deeper and deeper. However, with the development of the city, the Siheyuan in old Beijing was gradually replaced by high-rise buildings. Su Ming watched the Siheyuan being demolished one by one, and his heart was filled with regret. He was determined to protect his own Siheyuan and guard this precious cultural heritage.
After graduating from university, Su Ming chose to stay in Beijing and became an architectural designer. He hopes that through his efforts, he can integrate the elements of the Siheyuan into modern architecture so that more people can feel the charm of old Beijing. In his spare time, he also actively participates in various cultural relics protection activities and is committed to protecting and restoring the Siheyuan in old Beijing.
One day, Su Ming received a strange phone call from someone who claimed to be a staff member of the Beijing Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau and wanted to invite Su Ming to participate in a project to protect the old Beijing courtyard houses. This project aims to restore and protect a number of courtyard houses with historical value. Su Ming was excited and thrilled when he heard the news, and he agreed without hesitation.
After the project started, Su Ming led his team to start the restoration work on these courtyard houses. On the basis of maintaining the original style, they used modern technology and materials to carefully repair the courtyard houses. Every time Su Ming saw the restored courtyard houses glowing with new vitality, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
During the restoration process, Su Ming met many friends who also loved the Siheyuan culture. They came from all walks of life, but they all had a common goal, which was to protect and pass on the Siheyuan culture of old Beijing. They often got together to discuss how to better carry out restoration and protection work and share their experiences and insights. Through these exchanges, Su Ming learned a lot and made many like-minded friends.
However, the restoration work was not smooth sailing. Once, when they were repairing a century-old courtyard house, they found many unexpected problems. The old building structure was fragile and many parts were rotten, making it extremely difficult to repair. Su Ming and his team felt very difficult to deal with these problems.
Just as they were racking their brains, an old craftsman in his seventies found them. This old craftsman had been engaged in building repairs for generations and had rich experience in repairing courtyard houses. The old craftsman carefully inspected the courtyard house, gave many valuable suggestions, and personally participated in the restoration work. With his help, Su Ming and his team finally successfully restored the courtyard house and brought it back to life.
