Chapter 115: First Place

Ou Tongyang took the book, looked at the title of the book, and waited for Magnolia to ask what the book was, but she didn't ask. He had no choice but to say, "Ah Shu...... Is he calling? When will he come to Hong Kong?"

Since Magnolia came to Hong Kong, Ouyang Shu has not called, and Ouyang Shu has not called for a long time. Magnolia thought for a moment and said, "Thomson has been kidnapped, he is very busy now, and he won't come over in the short term." ”

Xiao Zhou's call came from the other side of the phone: "Boss, boss, Mr. Ou, are you inside, the director is here, looking for you!"

Ou Tongyang ignored Xiao Zhou's call and asked, "Are you still used to it in Yanyuan?"

Magnolia replied, "I'm fine, Madame is very good to me." You're busy, don't bother you. ”

Ou Tongyang continued: "Yanyuan has my room, but I haven't lived in it for a day, hehe, no way. I'm trying to go back in the near future to see the old lady, too...... Look at you, huh...... This is...... I promised Ah Shu. ”

Bai Yulan had already heard Xiao Zhou say: Boss, I know you're here, hurry, hurry! She didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly said, "Okay, call me when you come back." ”

Ou Tongyang put down the phone, only to feel that a bitter taste in his throat could not subside, he took a deep breath and walked out with Xiao Zhou.

Magnolia changed out of her professional attire during the day, put on a set of slightly more homely clothes, and came to Mrs. Ouyang's study.

Mrs. Ouyang hasn't arrived yet.

Magnolia picked up the manuscript on the table and found her name on the first page. In the upper left corner of the manuscript is a line of small print: The 13th Symposium Journal of the Chinese Literature Society, with a table of contents on the cover, and his own notes are in the first place.

Magnolia looked down, although she didn't understand the weight of this journal, but during the day, those people fought for the topic, which showed that they attached great importance to the journal that came out after the seminar, if they ranked themselves first like this, it would definitely cause everyone's dissatisfaction, which would make Mrs. Ouyang embarrassed.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm measured, they can't trouble me!" As soon as Mrs. Ouyang came in, she heard Magnolia's self-talk, and said, "Since it's already like this, we don't need to be timid, it's better to finish things all at once." Besides, I think you have the strength to do so. ”

Bai Yulan couldn't help but feel uneasy when she saw that Mrs. Ouyang was about to publish her notes in the journal of this seminar, she could imagine how much pressure Madame Ouyang was: "Madam, you don't need to bear so much pressure for me, I was just writing for fun, and I didn't expect anything to go, so..."

Mrs. Ouyang interrupted her: "I have a sense of proportion, don't worry, if everyone is against it, I will naturally not insist." Now it's up to people to see how well they understand your manuscript tonight. In short, don't worry. ”

The two men continued to organize the manuscript.

At this time, a slightly bewitching woman walked in: "Madam, complete the task, I am leaving." Keep practicing the way I said and your blood pressure will be under control. Who is this girl? She has a good figure and is suitable for yoga. ”

"Hehe, don't you teach Tai Chi? Why do you want to teach yoga again? How is Mama Chen's Tai Chi learning?"

The woman's expression was very rich, her thin eyebrows were raised, and she said exaggeratedly: "I teach Tai Chi, but I am also learning yoga." You let Chen's mother learn Tai Chi, it's too difficult for her, I have never met such a stupid student, it's better for me to teach you, you teach her, I really can't stand her nagging. Oh, ma'am, your face is a little gloomy, and you have recently had a comet in your way, and everything is unlucky, and I am afraid that your wish will not be fulfilled. ”

Mrs. Ouyang was incredulous: "Nonsense, it's obviously a flickering light, why didn't you say that my face was dark just now?"

The woman looked at it carefully and hesitated, "Maybe it's the lights that are shining, hehe." However, you have to be careful and watch out for girls, especially young girls. ”

She turned to Magnolia: "Girl, you just finished the call, right? This call makes you feel very bad, doesn't it?"

Bai Yulan was already a little upset when she heard her say that she asked Mrs. Ouyang to guard against the young girl, but now she was even more shocked when she heard her say that she had just called: "Did you hear that?"

The woman looked like a prophet: "How come? I see it! Even if the human behavior is over, the radio waves caused by the behavior are still there, and those who have the eyes of heaven can see what has just happened, of course, after a long time, they will not be able to see it." Look, it's disappearing little by little!"

She gestured with her hand as if she were caressing a piece of silk.

Mrs. Ouyang smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Wen, you are here again, last time I said that I would be in danger when I returned to the mainland, and I would be hospitalized, but as a result, I haven't returned to Hong Kong in good health? ”

Seeing that Mrs. Ouyang didn't believe it, Sister-in-law Wen defended: "Originally, there was a danger, but the person who could bring you danger died half a year ago, and the god of death left, and we were too far away to pass it on." In fact, it is easy to verify, you just need to find out if any of the people you know in the past died half a year ago. Forget it, let's not talk about the past, let's talk about this girl. I said girl, when you take the initiative to make the third call, the marriage is done, so don't be annoyed by the things in front of you, there are many excellent boys around you who like you!"

Magnolia shook her head and didn't speak.

Mrs. Ouyang patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, I won't keep you." I'll ask Lao Liu to send you, wait for my call next week. ”

"Okay, listen to your sister. Then I'm gone. Girl, remember, oh, three calls, two left!haha......"

Sister-in-law Wen left, and Mrs. Ouyang said to Bai Yulan: "She is like this, crazy and crazy, she has never been normal since I knew her." ”

Magnolia smiled, not squeaking.

The next day, the seminar continued, all the articles about Qin and Han had already been spoken, and Mrs. Ouyang asked Magnolia to be the last to speak.

Although she had made a lot of preparations last night, Magnolia was still very nervous, she took the manuscript and stood on the podium, her hands and legs were a little shaky: "Seniors, everyone...... Good afternoon!" It's broken, and the voice is shaking.

Mrs. Ouyang interrupted her: "Girl, you can briefly introduce why you read these books in the first place, and what you had in mind when you read these books, don't be nervous, everyone is very interested in your manuscript." She turned her head to the participants and said, "Everyone, I believe you have read the reading notes written by Magnolia yesterday, and when you listen to her for a while, I hope you will come to listen with questions, and you can ask her at any time if you have any questions." After speaking, he turned around and motioned for Magnolia to continue.

Mrs. Ouyang's interruption, just like the discussion of the manuscript between the two people in Yanyuan, made Bai Yulan's mind stabilize a lot, she no longer trembled, and said calmly: "At first, I read Qin and Han literature because I wanted to understand the history of our country and understand the origin, formation and development of literature. I look at Li Si ......" Magnolia took the manuscript, but did not read it from the script, but used more simple language to describe her feelings after reading and her understanding of the original text, and the people in the audience nodded one after another, and Mrs. Ouyang also showed a satisfied smile.

When Magnolia finished speaking, the audience was still unsatisfied, and someone asked: "Miss Bai, do you have any reading notes on literature from other periods?" I wonder if you can share them with us?" Another person asked: "You are not very old, why are you interested in such obscure ancient texts and understand them so deeply?" Some people said: "Miss Magnolia, you must have been guided by a famous teacher, right? Have your manuscripts been polished by famous artists?" A publisher said directly: " Miss Bai, I want to buy out the copyright of all your notes, I am the first to bring it up, and please give priority to Miss Bai. Everyone was gossiping, so that Magnolia had no way to answer.

Seeing that there was some confusion at the scene, Mrs. Ouyang stepped onto the podium: "Everyone, everyone, I originally hoped that you could ask some questions related to the manuscript, but now it seems that everyone has almost digested the manuscript yesterday, and there is no problem." Time is very tight, and tomorrow we will discuss the literature of the Republic of China, so today we are going to finalize the Qin and Han literary journals. I will give you the contact information of Magnolia after the meeting, and you can discuss with her separately if you have any questions. So let's now discuss the selection and order of the journals of the symposium. Before the discussion, I would like to raise my hope that the literary world never engages in seniority, respects eclecticism, and uses literature to judge talent, and this should be especially true in our seminar, if someone suggests that a writer has won any awards, so he should be ranked first, I will simply ignore such opinions, and we will only evaluate the manuscripts discussed at this meeting. Okay, now that we're going to start the discussion, let's break it up into small groups and put together the group's opinions. ”

Soon, the opinions of the five groups came out, and Magnolia's "On the Book of Han" was ranked third by three groups, one group ranked first, and one group ranked second. The conference began to discuss, and soon, the manuscripts in the front were rejected due to various issues, and they were ranked at the back, and Magnolia's manuscript finally came first. Mrs. Ouyang stopped speaking, but sat there watching, waiting for the next opinion.

When everyone was having a heated discussion, Du Huining sat there all the time, neither in favor nor against, but just submitted the results of their group, looking confident. After several rounds of discussions, the dust finally settled, and it was determined that a total of five articles were selected for the Qin and Han literature section of the seminar periodicals, and Bai Yulan's "On the Book of Han" came in first place.

Mrs. Ouyang stood up, smiled and thanked everyone, and hoped that everyone would make persistent efforts to successfully finalize the journal of Republic of China literature tomorrow.

On the way home, Magnolia received a phone call: "Excuse me, is this Miss Magnolia? I'm the editor of the New Perspective Literary Edition, we met at the seminar today, I want to make an appointment with you when you have time." ”

"Interview?" Bai Yulan looked at Mrs. Ouyang, pointed to the phone with her finger, and asked with her mouth what to do?

Mrs. Ouyang smiled and waved her hand, and made a fork with her two index fingers. Magnolia nodded and said into the phone: "I'm sorry, I have a training class to take recently, I'm afraid I don't have time for an interview, thank you!"
