Chapter Twenty-Four: A Late Boy

Three days are fleeting.

Wang Qiushi arrived at the newspaper office, left the manuscript of "Xun Qin", and went to the competition site with Bai Ningyuan.

This is a big venue, and there is a rather huge banner outside, which reads: The semi-final venue of the first "Huacheng Cup" New Concept Novel Competition, in addition, there are many large and small advertising banners, which are signed by other magazines and newspapers.

The scene is very big and the momentum is very strong!

Walking into the venue, it was like walking into a huge conference hall, the seats and judges' seats have been arranged, many judges have arrived, gathered together to talk and laugh, most of the contestants have also come, ranging in age from young to old, fourteen or fifteen years old to twenty years old, all standing in the corner, waiting for the competition to start.

Wang Qiushi took a look at it, smacking his tongue, and felt like a young talent was in the middle of the admission.

"What about the two boys?"

Wang Qiushi asked.

Bai Ningyuan glanced at it, pointed in one direction and said, "Over there." ”

Wang Qiushi looked over, and sure enough, he saw Yin Xiamo with a mushroom head and Fu Xiaosi with a cold and arrogant face, the two were standing together, and they didn't speak, and they seemed to be looking at the other competitors in the field.

"How is it? Are they sure?" Wang Qiushi was a little curious.

"It should be about the same!" Bai Ningyuan spoke flatly, but he was quite confident.

The two stood for a while, then walked over to the judges' seat, and the judges over there saw it and began to greet each other:

"Editor-in-chief Bai is good!"

"Didn't Editor-in-Chief Bai come with Editor-in-Chief Tang?"

"Editor-in-chief Bai, your newspaper should have recruited a lot of good seedlings this time, right?"

……

Everyone was enthusiastic, as if they were acquaintances.

Bai Ningyuan also responded with a smile one by one, Wang Qiushi looked at this scene beside him, and couldn't help but quip: "It seems that Editor-in-Chief Bai is also a big man now, and he has entertainment wherever he goes!"

Bai Ning didn't speak, but she was also quite emotional in her heart, you must know that a month ago she was just a little-known editor, but now she is well-known and hot in the circle, when it comes to the new romance tabloid, who in the circle doesn't know her name?

Everyone greeted each other for a while, and finally someone noticed Wang Qiushi and said suspiciously:

"Editor-in-Chief Bai, this is ......"

Bai Ningyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of urgency, and he said solemnly: "Let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Wang Qiushi, the vice president and general consultant of our newspaper, and he is also the author of "Xun Qin Ji" and the plenipotentiary planner of this competition. ”

Everyone was in an uproar and began to talk nonsense.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wang!"

""The Story of Searching for Qin" was actually written by Mr. Wang, I really didn't expect it!"

"I've always heard that there is another person behind the reform of the Xinyan Intelligence Agency, and it seems that it is Mr. Wang!"

"Didn't you hear? Mr. Wang is also the sole planner of this competition......

……

Wang Qiushi's face darkened, this Bai Ningyuan was definitely deliberate, he had already reminded him not to reveal his identity as much as possible, but it was still exposed. But seeing so many people greeting him, he couldn't turn his face, he could only itch his teeth with hatred, and greeted with a smile:

"Editor-in-Chief Li, hello, hello! I've heard of your name for a long time!"

"Editor-in-Chief Huang, Haihan Haihan, come abruptly!"

"President Qian, I have been looking up to you for a long time, I have always wanted to visit you, and I will definitely cooperate in the future......"

……

Taking advantage of Wang Qiushi's busy entertainment, Bai Ningyuan leaned closer and whispered: "How is it? Your reputation is only bigger than mine, it seems that people value you very much!"

Wang Qiushi's teeth itched, and he finally understood that women could not be provoked.

After a while, Tang Yan was also late, he hadn't seen him for half a month, there was no change at all, he was still an expressionless face, and everyone seemed to be in awe and fear of Tang Yan, and they stepped forward to greet him politely.

Wang Qiushi was surprised, and Bai Ningyuan explained: "Who in Huacheng doesn't know the name of the cold-faced beauty?"

Seeing Wang Qiushi, Tang Yan walked over, and finally showed a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Wang, you have finally appeared, otherwise Editor-in-Chief Bai and I would have gone to the door to invite!"

Wang Qiushi was helpless and said, "Is this interesting?"

"Of course!"

Tang Yan's tone was exactly the same as Bai Ningyuan's.

The three of them chatted for a while, and it was time for the game.

More than 200 contestants entered the contestant seat and sat down, Wang Qiushi and the three of them also went to the judges' seat to sit down, without any opening session, the person in charge of the competition nodded, and the competition officially began.

The whole venue fell silent, and more than 200 contestants began to brush up and write, obviously all of them had already drafted.

Wang Qiushi's eyes swept all over the audience, and he also knew that there was an unfair mechanism in this kind of non-propositional competition, but after all, it was the first competition, and the main purpose was to make a name for himself, and the future games would naturally gradually standardize the mechanism and go on the right track.

The patrol officers in the field are also walking back and forth slowly, patrolling for cheating.

About half an hour passed, Wang Qiu was really bored, looked around, and saw that the other judges were whispering, and was about to squint and rest for a while, when he heard a faint noise outside the venue.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked at the door of the venue, and saw from a distance that someone seemed to be arguing.

Tang Yan and Bai Ning glanced at each other, immediately got up at the same time, and walked outside the venue, several other judges also stood up and followed, Wang Qiushi sighed, got up and followed.

The closer to the door of the venue, the clearer the quarrel and dialogue became, and I saw a young man's voice say:

"Please be accommodating, I didn't mean to be late. ”

And then what appeared to be the voice of a patrol officer:

"I'm sorry, you're half an hour late, and you're going in now to affect other people's games. ”

The boy's voice sounded again:

"Then can you ask the person in charge to come out and talk?"

The patrol officer refused:

"I'm sorry, but that's not on my purview. ”

……

Wang Qiushi walked out of the venue, and saw Tang Yan Bai Ningyuan and several judges frowning and standing on one side, and on the other side stood a long-haired boy about sixteen or seventeen years old, his face was calm, like a stubborn stone in the sea, and a young patrolman stood opposite the boy, wearing a uniform, with a helpless face.

"What's going on?"

Walking to Bai Ningyuan's side, Wang Qiushi asked in a low voice.

"The little one is late!"

Bai Ningyuan frowned.

"Well, do you mean you can't go in?" Wang Qiushi said in surprise.

"Yes!"

An eye-eyed male judge on the side said with a sympathetic face: "The rules of the competition are that being late means abstaining, this little guy is half an hour late, and according to the regulations, he can't participate in the semi-finals......"

Hearing the explanation of the glasses male judge, the long-haired boy's face became calmer and more silent.

Everyone present had a look of pity or sympathy, everyone knew the importance of this rematch, it affected the life of every contestant to a certain extent, presumably this long-haired boy regretted it extremely in his heart, but the charter is the charter, and it cannot be changed at will.

In the middle of the night, the long-haired boy bowed and turned to leave.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"I think we can be accommodating. ”
