Chapter 147: The Time to Come Has Finally Come

",,!" Qian Xiaozheng, who was sitting next to Wang Yong, didn't even say three swear words, but it was not enough to express the shock in his heart.

At this moment, Qian Xiaozheng's face has no expression, only his round eyes and wide mouth are left, and he is alive and well with a freshly unearthed terracotta figurine.

It's just that the audience in the live broadcast room didn't have time to laugh at Qian Xiaozheng, because their expressions at the moment were the same.

"The Canon of Chinese Studies seems to be Mr. Wang's book, right? I'm not mistaken? Whoever pinched me, I think I'm sleepwalking. ”

"I seem to be sleepwalking with you, and the book with the lowest approval rating got 119 votes? I don't believe in the world anymore......"

"You people, what's all the fuss? I just ate a bottle of fast-acting heart pills, it's just good!"

"666666! At this time, only this number can represent my mood! Teacher Wang is big!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was full of shock and admiration.

Compared with these live broadcast viewers who like Wang Yong, Weibo netizens are much calmer.

"I didn't expect to get 119 votes for the "Canon of Chinese Studies", which was really unexpected to us. These judges are really on the wrong side!"

"It's a bit too much to say that the sword is on the side, and the quality of the book itself is indeed high enough. Compiled by scholars from five countries, it is called the most popular book in recent years. I don't think there's anything wrong with those 119 votes. ”

After all, 119 judges voted. It's just that it's still not as good as "Differential Dynamical System", right? In the end, eighty percent of the last two votes were for "Differential Dynamical System." ”

"Although I am looking forward to winning an award for a book on Chinese studies, I have to admit that "Differential Dynamical Systems" is a grade higher than "Canon of Chinese Studies" in terms of scientific value and academic level. Mr. Wang can only say that although he is defeated, he is still glorious. ”

Weibo netizens are still not optimistic about Wang Yong.

On the judges' bench.

After hearing that the book that received 119 votes was "The Canon of Chinese Studies", Zhou Daoli's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

For a moment, he almost shouted, "Impossible." ”

It was thanks to the fact that this was a public place, and Minister Cao was in charge, so he forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart.

"How could it be him? How could it be him? 119 votes, this must not be true......" Zhou Daoli muttered to himself, a little distracted.

And Du Ruhui, who was not far from Zhou Daoli, was smiling at the moment and didn't say a word, just brushed and wrote a few words on the straw paper in front of him.

"Justice is at ease in people's hearts. ”

Obviously, Director Zhang and Minister Cao both expected the reaction of the audience.

They did not rush to announce the results of the two votes, but looked at the audience and let the audience talk about it.

After a long time, when all the discussion in the audience gradually disappeared and the audience gradually accepted this fact, Director Zhang spoke leisurely.

"Let me announce the remaining book votes. 30 votes for "Concise General History", 10 votes for "Value Distribution Theory", 9 votes for "Huaxia Grottoes", and 10 votes for "Collection of Ancient History of Southeast Asia". plus the 120 votes for "Differential Power System" and 119 votes for "Canon of Chinese Studies", as well as the two unopened votes in my hand, a total of 300 votes. Not a bad vote!"

The number of votes in this selection was not evenly distributed, and most of the votes were concentrated in "Differential Dynamical System" and "Canon of Chinese Studies".

This is something that most people don't expect.

What is even more unexpected is that the previous awards were all science and technology books, and Chinese studies books have never won awards, and they have never even entered the finals.

Even if the "Canon of Chinese Studies" was unfortunately defeated in the end, it also created a record.

Thinking of this, many people's eyes looking at Wang Yong changed a little.

Several scholars who were originally sitting behind Wang Yong and had previously laughed at Wang Yong's "conceit" also put on a smiling face and handed Wang Yong a business card.

"Teacher Wang, contact me more in the future! Master Hongjin is the Chinese scholar I admire the most, and there is no one. ”

"Teacher Wang, my daughter is studying at Jinghua University, I will go back and ask her to apply for your graduate school, I must give me a lot of advice!"

Wang Yong did not refuse, but everyone who showed favor responded with a smile. In the blink of an eye, I had an extra handful of business cards in my hand.

And Lao Qin, the author and publisher of "Differential Dynamical System", saw this scene and his face turned pale.

couldn't help but feel a hatred for Wang Yong.

If it weren't for Wang Yong, they would have received the award and accepted the praise and flattery of these people!

And now, the final result has not yet been determined, but Wang Yong has enjoyed this treatment first.

"Let you be proud for a while, and the results will be announced later, and see if you can still laugh!" Lao Qin lowered his voice and said angrily.

Then he turned around and wanted to go back to his seat.

Originally, he heard the award notice and should have come to the stage to accept the award. But now that there are variables, it is not appropriate to go on stage again, so I can only go back to my seat first.

But he hadn't taken two steps yet, but he heard Director Zhang on the stage suddenly say, "Mr. Qin, please stay." Although the results have not yet been announced, I think that no matter which book wins the award, both sides are the pride of the Chinese book industry, and it is the highlight of this year's National Book Award. After all, this is the first time that two books have received more than 100 votes at the same time. Come to the stage together and let's announce the final results, okay?"

"Good!" shouted the audience.

So, Wang Yong walked to the stage with the boss of Kaixing Culture.

Lao Qin and the author of "Differential Dynamical System" also took the stage.

The personnel on both sides stood on both sides, and just a standing posture was filled with a faint smell of gunsmoke.

In particular, Lao Qin and the author of "Differential Dynamical System" glanced at Wang Yong, which was full of provocation.

It seems that they think that they have already won this award, and Wang Yong is destined to be just a foil.

Wang Yong ignored the provocation of Lao Qin and the others, but his face was calm and calm.

It's the boss of Kaixing Culture, who is nervous.

Keep putting your palms behind your back and wipe your sweat on the back of your hands. A good piece of clothing, after a while, he wiped it full of wrinkles and sweat stains.

"What are you nervous about? It's that we can't run. Wang Yong reminded the boss of Kaixing Culture softly.

The boss of Kaixing Culture smiled bitterly: "The key is that I don't think it's ours!"

Wang Yong smiled and didn't speak again.

In the whole world, it is estimated that except for the compilation team of the "Canon of Chinese Studies", no one else will have confidence in the "Canon of Chinese Studies". Only the compilation team knows what kind of book they made.

"Wow, exciting times are coming. Is it my friend on my left or on my right hand who won the award? I would like to ask our Minister Cao and Director Zhang to open the last two ballots for us!" Wang Han said, standing in the middle of Wang Yong's two groups.

The two ballots were sent to Minister Cao and Director Zhang respectively.

Director Zhang walked to the microphone first, smiled, and said, "To be honest, I don't even know who is written on this ticket." I'm pretty nervous, too. I don't look at it, can I open it directly to you?"

"Good!" the audience responded.

Director Zhang raised the ballot, and then faced the audience, slowly opening the folded ballot.

"Wow!" the audience instantly exclaimed.

It's just that no one has revealed the name of the book on the ticket.

Wang Yong, Lao Qin and others couldn't see the handwriting on the ballot because they had their backs to the ballot.

Both groups were a little anxious.

Lao Qin even stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck, trying to distinguish the name of the book from the imprint on the back of the ballot.

It's a pity that it failed.

"It seems that our President Qin is very anxious! Director Zhang should stop torturing these four candidates, and tell them the answer quickly!" Wang Han said.

Director Zhang nodded, then turned the ballot back in front of him.

There is no need for Director Zhang to announce, Wang Yong and the others can already clearly see the handwriting on it.

It is the four words of "The Canon of Chinese Studies"!

"How is it possible?!" Lao Qin's body shook and his face turned pale.

The author of "Differential Dynamical Systems" is not good at words, but he also has a bad face and gloomy eyes.

With this vote, the votes for "Canon of Chinese Culture" and "Differential Power System" are equal!

It's all 120 votes!

And the vote in Minister Cao's hand has become a crucial vote.

Whoever is written on that vote will be the final winner!

For a while, not only the boss of Kaixing Culture was so nervous that he sweated, but even Lao Qin, who was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, and the author of "Differential Power System" also sweated on his forehead.

The audience seemed to empathize, and they were all silent, staring at Minister Cao, waiting for Minister Cao to announce the results.

Even in Qian Xiaozheng's live broadcast room, there was no barrage. It's all about nervous waiting.

Minister Cao's face was expressionless, and when he reached his position, it was impossible to make waves for this kind of thing.

It's just that for some reason, there is still a faint expectation in his heart, expecting a miracle.

A miracle that no one is optimistic about.

"The book for which this ballot is cast isβ€”" Minister Cao slowly unfolded his ballot.

He didn't face the audience, but the camera followed and showed Minister Cao's every move on the big screen of the stage.

When the vote for election was unfolded to one-third, a half-line of handwriting suddenly jumped out.

"It's the Differential Dynamical System!"

"That's right, it's 'Differential'! Differentials won! Differentials won the National Book Award!"

Sharp-eyed viewers can quickly judge the name of the book on the ballot from this half-line of words.

Lao Qin and the author of "Differential" couldn't help but tremble.

The painstaking people live up to it! It should be theirs, and it is still theirs! No one can take it away!

Lao Qin was in a stirring mood, and directly hugged the author of "Differential".

There was even time to send a provocative look at Wang Yong.

The boss of Kaixing Culture was weak, as if he had exhausted all his strength and was about to collapse to the ground.

Fortunately, Wang Yong's eyes were quick and he grabbed the boss of Kaixing Culture.

"Don't panic! it's not over yet!" Wang Yong said firmly.

The boss of Kaixing Culture is about to cry.

The half-line handwriting on the ballot paper was clearly the words "Differential Power System", and even he could see it. Why didn't Wang Yong panic? How could he still have confidence?

When Lao Qin heard Wang Yong's words, he almost burst out laughing.

Why is this Wang Yong so cute? He is still hard-mouthed when he dies, it's so funny!

But in the next second, Lao Qin was stunned, and his expression was lost.

Because, as the whole ballot unfolded, the ballot that was finally revealed was written with ten words!

The top line - "Differential Dynamical Systems".

The next line - "The Canon of Chinese Studies".

The only difference is that the top line is heavily drawn with a horizontal line!

In other words, this ballot was originally written "Differential", but later it changed its mind and changed it to "The Canon of Chinese Studies"!

Wow!

The audience was in an uproar, and voices were everywhere.

Lao Qin's hugging posture with the author of "Differentiation" stiffened in mid-air, like two ridiculous marionettes. The faces of the two were pale, as if they had lost their souls.

The boss of Kaixing Culture was carried away by the sudden surprise, and suddenly his body was crooked, and he fainted excitedly.

And Wang Yong didn't show a smile until this time.

It's time to come, it's finally here!
