That's right, what Zhu Ziqing said was the masterpiece "Ugly Chinese" by Mr. Bai Yang, a writer from Taiwan Province in his previous life.

The book is a collection of dozens of essays by the author, the main content of which is to criticize the inferior nature of the Chinese. Of course, Mr. Bai Yang is not really denying the Chinese people. Instead, he pointed out some bad phenomena in society with an attitude of "hating iron does not make steel." The fundamental purpose is to serve as a wake-up call to the world to remove these bad things from our culture.

This book had a profound impact on previous lives, and it has been reprinted in one edition. Translations into Japanese, German, and English are also available.

This suggestion was not made on a whim, but was well thought out. He roughly flipped through the current reviews published by Liu Xiaoping over the years. It was found that this man was quite aware of the problems of the day, and he never denied these shortcomings.

But unlike the cent, he acknowledges these shortcomings while pointing out that the state has been trying to improve its shortcomings. And list the changes in the past years and the current for comparison, and vividly tell everyone about these changes. This unabashed attitude only makes his current review more convincing.

This kind of calm attitude is very suitable for writing this book in Zhu Ziqing's opinion, so he came up with this idea. Of course, he didn't forget to search the Internet to see if there were similar works in this world.

In addition to expanding his personal connections, there is another reason why he took out the idea of this work and threw it to Liu Xiaoping. That is, no matter how far-reaching the idea and impact of the book is. They can't get rid of the essence of 'criticism'.

Not everyone can face up to their own shortcomings, and China has always emphasized that 'family ugliness should not be publicized' since ancient times. The more deeply the book is written, the more likely it is to arouse everyone's disgust. When the time comes, a large number of readers will be disgusted with him, which is not what Zhu Ziqing wants.

The more serious problem is that in case of angering the people above, the person who wrote the book will definitely not have good fruit to eat. In more serious cases, it is possible to be banned. In the previous life, this book was banned in the mainland for more than ten years.

The average author definitely can't afford this price, but Liu Xiaoping can. Master Jia Qigong, as the Taishan Beidou of the domestic literary world, has absolutely no problem protecting his apprentices. So Zhu Ziqing came up with this idea and also meant to lose the burden.

But looking at the ecstatic expressions of the two brothers opposite, you can know how willing they are to carry this burden. But from their point of view, it's not a burden at all.

"Brother Zhu, thank you, thank you so much. ”

Liu Xiaoping was still immersed in his own spiritual world and did not come back to his senses. Xiao Jinguang has experienced too many winds and waves, and quickly got out of the surprise. Grabbed Zhu Ziqing's hand tightly and shook it again and again, which showed how excited he was.

People who have not experienced it will never be able to understand their feelings at the moment. There is no greater pain for a writer than not being able to write something he likes. Liu Xiaoping has profound literary skills, and his writing is far beyond ordinary people. It's just because there are too many distractions that I can't write works that resonate with my heart.

This does not mean that he can't write, relying on his skills and writing, like most writers, he can still write something casually. But he was a proud man and didn't want to write for the sake of writing. This is also one of the sources of Liu Xiaoping's pain today.

Master Jia and others have tried a lot of ways, but Liu Xiaoping has invested too much time and energy on the road of 'self-doing five'. His brain was full of these things, and he couldn't isolate them at all.

On top of that, he himself was not willing to weed them out. After all, he has been fighting for it for more than ten years. And he does think that someone should stand up and reverse some people's abnormal perception of society.

This creates a dead knot, a dead knot that leaves everyone helpless. Zhu Ziqing's creativity just perfectly solves this problem.

Zhu Ziqing didn't know this himself, but he could still feel Xiao Jinguang's excitement. That kind of sincere affection can't be faked.

So he has a better impression of Xiao Jinguang and Liu Xiaoping. In this era where interests are paramount, such a brotherhood can still be maintained, which shows that these two people are still very desirable.

"Brother Xiao is too polite. The idea also came about by accident. I tried to write about it, but I couldn't write the feeling I wanted because of my experience, so I put it down. A few days ago, I read Xiaoping's current review, and I felt that this idea was simply prepared for him. So I took the liberty to mention it today, but I don't know if it will be successful. Zhu Ziqing said politely.

"My brother is too modest. Although your brother Xiao is not good at writing, he still has a level of appreciation, and this idea is very good. The paragraph you just read is also very profound, it can be described as hitting the nail on the head, and if you continue to write, it will definitely be very promising. You can take out this idea and share it with Xiaoping, I have written down this love, Brother Xiao, and I will use it in the future to open my mouth. Xiao Jinguang's attitude was obviously much more enthusiastic than just now.

Next, the two had another exchange on this idea. Mainly Zhu Ziqing elaborated on some key points and precautions. Xiao Jinguang played a good role as an audience. As for Liu Xiaoping, he continued to be immersed in his own world and could not extricate himself.

Zhu Ziqing and Xiao Jinguang did not disturb him, and at the same time consciously reduced the interference caused by others.

At this time, on the other side of the same city, something happened that was closely related to Zhu Ziqing.

Qian Mingen is the vice chairman of the Writers' Association, and one of the most powerful vice chairmen. So I'm usually quite busy at work. Today coincided with the end of the project, so I came back very late.

As soon as I got home, I found that my son, who had never seen anyone, was honestly sitting on the sofa watching TV, and asked curiously:

"Yuanhao, why did you go home today? Shouldn't you be at school at this time, it's not good to skip class all the time. ”

Yes, this is Qian Yuanhao's family, and Qian Mingen is also his father.

I saw an ugly smile on Qian Yuanhao's face, and said with a flickering eye: "No, there is no class this afternoon." Didn't you miss you and my mother, just come back and see. ”

"Miss me? I'm afraid not. Let's be honest, isn't there any trouble again?" Although Qian Mingen said this, a relieved smile still appeared on his face.

"Dad, how can you say that about me. When have I ever caused you trouble since I was a child? The one who has caused trouble since he was a child is Xiaobao of Uncle Wang's family next door. Qian Yuanhao keenly captured the expression on Qian Mingen's face, and immediately began to sell cute.

"Pull it down, you've caused me less trouble since I was a child. But you're not bad, although you make small mistakes, you never annoy you. It's much stronger than Xiaobao of the old Wang family next door. Qian Mingen said with a laugh.

"Dad, you're thirsty. This is the tea that a friend of mine specially asked me to bring you, the best Mingqian Longjing. You taste it to see if it's authentic. Seeing that his father was happy, Qian Yuanhao immediately took out a porcelain jar from under the coffee table and said earnestly.

"Give it to me?" Qian Mingen instantly grasped the point of his words, and stretched out his hand to stop Qian Yuanhao, who was about to open the jar: "This tea will be drunk later." First of all, tell me why your friend brought me tea, or I won't feel at ease drinking. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that he's heard that you like tea. So ......" Qian Yuanhao looked at his serious father, his head drooped lower and lower, and his voice became smaller and quieter.

"Tell me, who is this person, what did you give me the picture of tea. Qian Mingen said lightly.

“…… This tea was given by Jin Linqi, and he wanted to make more contributions to the Writers' Association. Qian Yuanhao whispered.

"Jin Linqi? hehe...... I knew this tea was not delicious, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. You don't know what his situation is now? You dare to accept his gifts?" Qian Mingen said mockingly:

"Originally, I thought he was quite successful in the literary world, and I was ready to promote him. Who knew that he had recently made a series of faint moves, first provoking Zhu Ziqing for no reason, and then making trouble with indecent female reporters. His reputation has become insignificant, and there is nothing I can do to help. I can't afford to drink this tea, so you better give it back to him. ”

"Dad, it's not that serious. Indecent female reporters are simply nothing, just explain it clearly. Zhu Ziqing is just a newcomer, what can he do if he offends. Qian Yuanhao was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said.

"It's nothing? People even have photos, how can this be explained by ironclad evidence? Zhu Ziqing is a newcomer, but he is not a nobody. He's been on the news twice. I haven't been to your dad in so many years......"

"Twice? Isn't it just the first place in the Wensai? When did he go on again?" Qian Yuanhao said rudely interrupting his father.

Qian Mingen glared at Qian Yuanhao fiercely, but he also felt the same for his shock. When he first heard the news, he was also stunned for a while.

"Have you forgotten Sun Shouqing's paintings? The day before yesterday, the Palace Museum welcomed "Jiangnan" into the museum, and this matter was broadcast on the news. The painting was written by Zhu Ziqing's poem, and the news network also gave him a brief introduction. There are very few people in the entire literary world who can enjoy this kind of treatment. Qian Mingen took a breath and continued:

And he has a great relationship with the two masters, Sun Jia. What do you say will happen if you offend him? If the consequences are not serious, will Jin Linqi be so frightened that he will not even dare to participate in the third round of the competition? It is a pipe dream to still want to be an assistant director. ”

Qian Yuanhao was also taken aback by his father's words, and only then did he realize that Zhu Ziqing, who was not taken into his eyes, was so difficult to mess with. I felt a lot of regret in my heart.

But regret is useless, things have already happened, and Jin Linqi was dragged into the water by himself. If he dares to abandon him at this time, then he will definitely bite himself out when he is cornered. When the time comes...... It was too scary to think.

Qian Yuanhao could only bite the bullet and say: "The matter should not be so serious." And Jin Linqi has always been very respectful to you, and he will express it every New Year's holiday. It would be too hurtful to sentence him to death like this. What would others think? ”

Qian Mingen did not speak, but looked at his son with scrutinizing eyes. It wasn't until Qian Yuanhao lowered his head weakly that he withdrew his gaze, and said in a tone mixed with disappointment:

"Does Jin Linqi's smearing of Zhu Ziqing have anything to do with you?"
