No one paid attention to Zhou Daoli's expression, and the judges involved were glad that they had escaped, while the judges who were not involved were pleased that their group's books had increased their winning rate.

"Alright, let's all disperse. In addition, the selected books will be announced, and the representatives of the selected books will be reminded not to forget the selection and award ceremony at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Director Zhang gave a few words and left.

The staff at the bottom hurriedly sent the results to the participating units, reminding the participating units to send people to attend tomorrow's ceremony.

The "Canon of Chinese Studies" was submitted by Kaixing Culture Publishing House, so the notice was sent to the publishing house.

The boss of Kaixing Culture is sitting in the publishing house and worrying, the performance of their publishing house is getting worse and worse this quarter, and it seems that it is about to make ends meet. If it can't be profitable within a year, I'm afraid it will have to declare bankruptcy.

Suddenly, the sound of Didi sounded on the work computer, and when I clicked on it, it was an email from the National Book Award jury.

"Coming out so soon?" The boss of Kaixing Culture was a little stunned.

Originally, he didn't really want to click on it.

Who would go out of their way to read the failure notice again after knowing that they had lost a game?

That's not looking for abuse!

But the ghost makes the gods bad, and the boss of Kaixing Culture today is like taking the wrong medicine, and he doesn't want to abuse himself.

Then, he clicked on the email, and a small buffer icon appeared on the computer screen.

The boss stared at the buffer icon, waiting for the out notification that popped up a moment later.

At that moment, there should be a different kind of pleasure, right? Just like a person who likes to masochist, the first knife is a little painful, but the second and third knives go down, and the pain will evolve into a perverted pleasure. The current Kaixing culture is like this, the whole body is sore, and you still care about one more out notice?

brush, buffered, the whole page suddenly lit up, covered with a bright red color.

"Now even the out notice is so gorgeous?" The boss of Kaixing Culture was stunned.

Subconsciously pulled down the mouse, and then saw a line of big words that made him stunned in the red of the screen.

"Congratulations to your society for winning the second place in the classification of books of Chinese culture! And qualify for the 'National Book Award'! Please go to the Bird's Nest Sports Venue on time at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon to participate in the selection and award ceremony. ”

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" The boss read the text over and over again in disbelief.

Then he slapped himself hard.

Syllable!

The slap is crisp and the pain is intense, but it's real! Not a dream!

"Oh my God! Mr. Wang's book actually made it to the finals! Miracles, miracles! The boss of Kaixing Culture jumped up and shouted excitedly.

An editor who stayed behind to work overtime heard the boss's words and looked dazed.

When he saw the big red notification on the computer screen, he was also ecstatic, and a line of tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's saved, our publishing house is saved! Regardless of whether "Canon of Chinese Studies" can win the highest award or not, just reaching the finals has already proved its quality! This book, however, will never lose money, and it can even make a small profit! The editor was delighted with some incoherent words.

"Hurry up and inform Mr. Wang! Such good news has to be shared with Mr. Wang as soon as possible. The boss instructed the editor, but within a second, he changed his mind. Forget it, I'll do it myself! ”

After speaking, he took a deep breath, picked up the phone and dialed Wang Yong's mobile phone.

At this time, Wang Yong was having a video conference with the members of the editorial board of "The Canon of Chinese Studies".

Chiba Mashi, Lee Jae-sen and others have already sorted out the Oriental and South Korean editions in the past few days, and they have contacted the publishing houses in their countries, and they will be officially released immediately.

Compared with others, Wang Yong's publication and distribution in Huaxia is much more bumpy.

And Li Zaixian and Chiba Zhenxi finally found an opportunity to make fun of Wang Yong, constantly lamenting that Wang Yong could defeat them, but he couldn't defeat a few clowns in China.

Wang Yong was speechless.

At this time, when the mobile phone rang, Wang Yong connected it, and after listening to the words on the other side, his expression suddenly became bright.

Li Zaixian and Chiba Mashi, who were across the computer screen, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Wang Yong's expression change.

"Hey, Wang Yong, we were just joking just now, you don't have to give up on yourself. Your smile is a little oozing, so you won't have a psychological problem, right? ”

"Wang Yong, you want to open something! The problem of the release of "The Canon of Chinese Studies" in China does not mean that it also has problems in other countries! South Korea, Dongyang, Wanwan, Xinjiapo, Europe and the United States, there are many places. If Huaxia can't be issued, it can't be issued! It's gold that shines everywhere, so don't worry too much! ”

Listening to Li Zaixian's persuasion with Chiba Zhenxi, Wang Yong smiled more and more brightly.

"Well said! It's gold that shines everywhere! I used to think it was a bit irresponsible, but now I believe it completely! "Wang Yongshen is mysterious.

Li Zaixian and Chiba Zhenxi were both confused by Wang Yong.

Wang Yong: Is this really mentally abnormal? Not really, right?

Just when the two were secretly suspicious, they saw Wang Yong suddenly pick up his mobile phone and shake it in front of the computer camera.

"See? "The Canon of Chinese Studies" has been selected as a finalist of the National Book Award! In other words, our book is about to win the highest book award in China! Wang Yong said firmly.

Lee Zaixian and Chiba Maki were dumbfounded.

They were making fun of Wang Yong just now, why did such a dramatic change happen in a blink of an eye? China's highest book award?

If it is true, then "The Canon of Chinese Studies" can be said to have fired the first shot!

As a result of this snowball, Huaxia, South Korea, Dongyang, Xinjiapo, Europe and the United States all won a similar award, what extent will the prestige of "Canon of Chinese Studies" be pushed?

Not to mention that there are no ancients before and no one after them, at least there is no book in the past hundred years that can reach it!

"What a great news! It's just that you said that "The Canon of Chinese Studies" only entered the finals, and it seems that it is uncertain whether it can win the award in the end, right? Chiba asked suspiciously.

Wang Yong didn't care: "Do you still need to ask?" It's definitely our book that won the award! Could it be that you are still looking forward to others winning awards? ”

"I'm not looking forward to others, I'm trying to be rational......"

"Well, that's right, be rational and let me calm down." Wang Yong nodded approvingly.

Then, two seconds later, Wang Yong spoke again: "I'm done calming down, I still feel sure that we will win the award." ”

"......" Chiba Zhenxi and Li Zaixian's confidence in Wang Yong's mystery has nothing to say.

After the video conference, Wang Yong began to call Yao Xingchen, on the one hand, to tell her the good news, and on the other hand, to ask her to prepare a formal suit for herself.

After all, it is a person who is about to win the National Book Award, and it is unseemly to wear a slipper vest to accept the award on stage.

And Yao Xingchen's self-confidence in the face of Wang Yong's mystery was not as polite as Li Zaixian and Chiba Zhenxi, so he directly scolded the two words "sick" coldly, and then hung up the phone.

The next day, Yao Xingchen, who said that Wang Yong was sick, still sent Wang Yong a set of fitted formal clothes early in the morning.

After Wang Yong put it on, he changed his lazy temperament and became energetic.

Even Yao Xingchen, who has read countless people and has seen many international celebrities, can't help but light up his eyes.

"It's a waste of this body and face, you should go to the entertainment industry to develop." Yao Xingchen muttered.

Wang Yong pouted: "I, a people's teacher who sacrifices myself to illuminate others, wouldn't it be misguided to develop in the entertainment industry?" I still have the ambition of 3,000 disciples in my heart! Don't talk about any entertainment stars at that time, even the President of the United States and the Secretary-General of the United Nations are all my students! That's called a cow pie! Therefore, you women just have long hair and short knowledge, and you don't have any strategic vision......"

Yao Xingchen listened to Wang Yong's boasting, laughed angrily, smashed the bag in his hand towards Wang Yong, turned around and left.

"Go for your big autumn dreams! There are 3,000 disciples, and you may not even be able to win the National Book Award! Do you really think you're invincible? ”

"What if I get it?" Wang Yong asked rhetorically.

Yao Xingchen's footsteps froze, and then he turned around: "If you really get it, you can do whatever you want!" ”

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed maliciously: "Does it include some indescribable behavior?" ”

Yao Xingchen gritted his teeth: "Including!" I'll bet you won't get it! ”

"It's a deal! Remember to wait for me at night! Wang Yong said to Yao Xingchen narrowly, so angry that Yao Xingchen's face turned red and he slammed the door and left.

It's no secret that the list of shortlisted books for the National Book Award has been picked up and reported by major media outlets as early as last night.

And netizens did not show much surprise at the finalization of "Canon of Chinese Studies".

After all, although the "Canon of Chinese Studies" caused some controversy some time ago, it still has extremely high academic value, and if it can't even be shortlisted, it can only mean that the selection of the National Book Award is shady.

However, most netizens are not optimistic about whether "Canon of Chinese Culture" can win the highest award.

The main reason is that books in Chinese studies have never won the National Book Award, and most of the books that have won this award in the past are books with high application value in the field of science.

Rejuvenating the country through science and education has always been a constant and unchanging purpose in China. Science and technology are the primary productive forces that people recognize, and the likes of Chinese culture can cultivate sentiment, but they cannot be transformed into real national strength. As a result, most people tend to win awards for science books.

"I think it is quite likely that Professor Qian's "Bridge Engineering Mechanics" will win the award this time. Because China's infrastructure strength has been too strong in recent years, especially the bridge, which has set several world firsts. Foreign netizens were dumbfounded when they saw those unbelievable bridge projects. If Professor Qian's book wins an award, it will certainly be convincing at home and abroad, and there will be no controversy. Some netizens speculated.

"I think Academician Zhao's "Laser Application" has a high chance of winning the award, which is cutting-edge science. Although the theory in it is a little lagging behind, it does not prevent him from having a profound impact on the development of laser applications in China! ”

"I think 'The New Oracle Collection' is the most likely to win. You must know that this is a major archaeological and cultural discovery, and similar books have been awarded in previous editions of the National Book Awards, which shows that the jury has a certain preference for this kind of book. ”

……

Everyone is expressing their own opinions, and everyone is proposing books that they think may win awards, but no one mentions the "Canon of Chinese Studies", and no one mentions Wang Yong.
