Chapter Ninety-One
Zhu Ziqing once again submitted the paper ahead of schedule, and behaved the same as in the fourth round. But the attention received is very different, and everyone's opinion on the matter is different from last time.
Last time, almost everyone thought he couldn't solve the problem and gave up. Young people, especially those of seventeen or eighteen years old, have too little experience after all. It's normal to don't know much about feelings, let alone about monks' feelings.
Who knew that just when everyone was not optimistic about him, he once again unexpectedly wrote such a famous sentence as "The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to the truth".
The most incredible thing is that Zhu Ziqing handed in the paper in less than forty minutes. In other words, after he saw the title, it only took him more than 30 minutes to write this popular poem. Once again, his talent was confirmed.
When the reporters broadcast the news of Zhu Ziqing's early submission of the file again, it unsurprisingly attracted everyone's attention.
"Zhu Ziqing submitted the paper ahead of schedule, and more than the last time. It didn't even take half an hour to come out. Seven steps into a poem is probably to this extent. ”
"Seven steps into a poem or something, let's not talk about it for the time being. Let's talk about what article he wrote this time, okay. I guess it's poetry. ”
"Zhu Ziqing has great talents and urgent talents, and is especially good at composing poems on the spot. This point has been recognized by everyone through the three poems "Heavenly Market", "Jiangnan" and "Untitled". He came out so early today, and I guess nine times out of ten it was another poem. ”
"It must be poetry. I couldn't even finish an 800-word essay in more than 20 minutes. There can be nothing other than poetry. ”
"Don't say it upstairs so sure, what if it's a word."
None of the chatters noticed a single question, and their topics all revolved around what article Zhu Ziqing wrote, and no one questioned whether Zhu Ziqing could win the first place.
Not only netizens think so, but even most media are like this. Most of their reports were submitted by Zhu Ziqing in advance, guessing what the subject of this time was. There are very few media reports on topics like 'can he win the fifth round' and 'can the miracle continue'. It's as if he's the number one in the right sense.
There can never be only one voice in this world. There are people who like Zhu Ziqing. Naturally, there are those who hate him. Some people think that his works are well written, and some people think that they are worthless and depend on hype.
As Zhu Ziqing continues to create one miracle after another. His works are loved by more and more people. In attacking his works, it seems that his level is too inferior. Instead, they began to target him personally.
"Zhu Ziqing submitted the papers in advance, which was too disrespectful to other players and Wensai. The Essay Contest is the highest literary competition in China, and the whole people pay attention to it. Each player is treated with the utmost reverence.
He actually submitted the paper in advance twice in a row, one earlier than the other, did he think about other people's feelings? . Four consecutive championships have already made him fluttering. Lost his devotion to literature and lost his respect for the other contestants. ”
"I've been discovering this for a long time. I used to be a fan of him, and I chased him crazy for a while. also formed a 'Seven Nights Support Group' to cheer for him.
We can't be happier that he came to Pearl City. I wanted to invite him to one of our fan events. But he repeatedly refused. People who don't put fans in their eyes like this can have a better character. I decisively turned black. ”
"What's more, I made a bet with Jin Linqi that time. Everyone has already admitted defeat, and his fans have been clinging to it, forcing a senior in the literary world to not even dare to go out. If you want to say that there is no shadow of Zhu Ziqing in this, I absolutely don't believe it. ”
These remarks are also quite marketable, especially when he bet with Jin Linqi to get something. His fans shouted online for Jin Linqi to come out and cash in on the bet. is believed by many to be behind him. It's just that there has been no evidence, so the fire didn't burn on Zhu Ziqing.
No matter how Zhu Ziqing's fans and the media appealed, Jin Linqi was like an ostrich and didn't come out. And the most important thing in this world is the 'Holy Mother', and there are many people who denounce it. Instead, these people began to sympathize with Jin Linqi.
They feel that Zhu Ziqing's fans and media are too much, even if others are at fault, you can't hold on like this. Where has the forgiving heart of being a human being gone?
But fortunately, there are not many such people. Otherwise, Zhu Ziqing would have begun to doubt the three views of people in this world.
……………………………………………………………………………
Du Xipeng is an executive of a foreign-funded company, and his family is happy and happy. The work is also very smooth and happy. But few people know that he is also a lover of mystery novels.
"The Devotion of Suspect X" caused an uproar in the mystery fiction world, and it is impossible for him not to know it. It's just that there is no "Southern Metropolis Evening News" in his city. I can only ask some classmates and colleagues to buy it and take photos and send it to me.
It was in this way that he read the whole story. I've been crazy about this story ever since. He solemnly saved those pictures in a special USB flash drive, and took them out and flipped through them when he had nothing to do.
People who love to read books know that reading e-books and reading physical books are two completely different reading experiences. People who really love to read like physical books with more texture.
Du Xipeng is no exception, just watching the electronic version can no longer satisfy his spiritual enjoyment. He desperately wanted to have a hard copy. However, at that time, there were no single books on the market. Only newspaper serialization.
But this is not difficult for a true book lover, who bought a whole series of newspapers serializing "Dedication" on the Internet at a high price. And he's not alone. As far as he knows, there are not a few people who do this online.
The sales of the "Southern Metropolis Evening News" itself are not very high, and there are not many people who really own it. So much so that later there was a situation where there was no market.
An expired newspaper sold for tens or hundreds of times the price. There are even cases where money can't buy it. Zhu Ziqing has set a new record.
When Zhu Ziqing announced that "Dedication" would be published in a single book, Du Xipeng was the group of people who were most looking forward to it. He could have ordered a copy online, but this time he didn't know what to think. He wanted to experience what it was like to buy a book in person. Then something went wrong.
Foreign-funded enterprises have good salaries, but the requirements for employees are particularly strict. Don't look at him as an executive, and don't dare to be late and leave early at will.
If it was a normal day, he took the time to go out for a walk and no one said anything. But it just so happened that the new book was released in the first few days. The head office sent people to inspect the work. He must be accompanied at all times.
The bookstore wasn't open when he went to work, and the books were sold out after he got off work. We can only wait for the next day. It dragged on for four or five days, and he didn't get the book he liked.
Today, the head office is finally gone. Du Xipeng breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the bookstore as soon as possible. In fact, there is no need for him to be in such a hurry, the situation of short supply only appeared a few days ago.
After so many days of release, most of the people who liked the book the most had already bought it. The rest is long-term distribution, which he can buy even when he goes from work.
He shouldn't be unaware of this. But who made him like this book so much? I don't want to be delayed for a moment. So while his superiors were away, he sneaked to a bookstore and bought a copy.
The moment the book arrived, his heart felt as if a big stone had been removed, and he suddenly felt refreshed. But when he returned to the office, he was not happy. Because he saw that his boss was looking at him with a solemn face.
"Aoki-san, why are you here. Did all the people from the head office send them away? Du Xipeng pretended to be very casual and said.
You read that right, this Aoki-kun is an island countryman. And the multinational company where Du Xipeng works is also an island-funded enterprise.
"Du Jun, I need an explanation." Aoki was not fooled by his disguise and said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, Aoki-san. I went out just now......" Du Xipeng hesitated. Decide to tell the truth. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the other party.
"Not just now. Du Jun, I'm talking about your performance in the past few days, which is really disappointing. The people at the head office are very dissatisfied with your work attitude. They suggested I replace you. Aoki said solemnly.
"Huh?" Du Xipeng finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly said: "Aoki-san, you know that I am not such a person. ”
"Of course I do. The two of us have been working together for a long time, and you are a serious and responsible person. If it weren't for something big going on, you wouldn't have lost your temper like this. So I categorically rejected the proposal of the head office. But now I need an explanation. ”
"This ......" Du Xipeng didn't know how to open his mouth for a while. Did you tell him that he was so distracted by a book?
"Du Jun. Is there anything hard to say? ”
"No, it was my personal mistake." I thought about it for a while. Du Xipeng still decided to tell the truth. If the other party accepts it, it's best, if not, they are thinking of other ways.
……
"You say it's all because of this book?" After listening to Du Xipeng's explanation, Aoki said in disbelief.
"Disappointed Aoki-san." Du Xipeng said embarrassedly, this reason is indeed a bit abnormal.
"Du Jun, I know you very well. I'm glad you didn't lie. But you have this reason...... I can't accept it. ”
"I'm sorry. It's embarrassing for Aoki-san. ”
"Can you tell me what kind of book this is? For Du Jun to be so fascinated, I believe it must be a good book. "For this book, my right-hand men can't work with peace of mind. Aoki inevitably became curious.
"It's a mystery novel. It's one of the best mystery novels I've ever read. Speaking of the content of the book, Du Xipeng couldn't help but get excited.
"Mystery novels? Which country wrote it? I haven't heard about a famous mystery novelist who has recently published a single book. It seems that Aoki is also interested in mystery novels.
"Of course it was written by a Chinese." Du Xipeng said proudly.
"Huaguo? Du Jun, IMHO, is there an excellent mystery novel in Huaguo? ”
Aoki's words are neither discriminatory nor demeaning. Rather, it is a statement of fact. There is no shortage of excellent mystery novels in China. But to compare it with the world, it will be embarrassing.
In this regard, the island nation has done a very good job, so to speak, very well. Its quantity and quality are among the best in the world.
It was precisely because he said the truth that Du Xipeng felt aggrieved.
"This novel is an exception, and I don't think he's worse than the island nation of Onosuke."
"Onosuke?" Aoki laughed and said, "Du Jun, you're not joking, are you?" ”
Ononosuke is the most famous mystery novelist in the island country, one of the three major mystery novelists in the world, and is the pride of the island country. Du Xipeng actually compared an unknown author with him, if it weren't for his demeanor, Aoki would have directly turned on the mockery mode.
"I'm not kidding. This book was written by the famous writer of our country, Seven Nights, a name that you may be unfamiliar with. But you must have heard of his other name, Zhu Ziqing. ”
"Zhu Ziqing? Are you talking about the Zhu Ziqing who won the essay contest four times in a row? ”
The Essay Contest is world-renowned, and the neighboring island countries of China, which are China, pay more attention to this competition. Zhu Ziqing has created a miraculous quadruple championship, not to mention Aoki in China. Even in the island country, there is no shortage of supporters.
"Yes, that's him." Seeing Aoki's surprised appearance, Du Xipeng felt a burst of pride in his heart.
"Du Jun, can you lend me this book?"
Knowing that this author was the author of the four-time consecutive championship of the literary competition, Aoki put away his contempt and became cautious. (To be continued......)
PS: This chapter is more than 3,600 words more than I expected, so I'm sorry to be late. I don't know when the next chapter will be finished, but there will definitely be another chapter to add. You don't have to wait. It's not too late to wake up tomorrow morning.
Anyway, I just looked at the collection, and it fell down with a bang. More than a hundred were dropped in one day. If the growth can catch up with this rate, I won't have to run naked to the shelves.
By the way, I ask for a recommendation ticket.
