Chapter 88 Signature
It is no secret that Chen Qiming, a master of Chinese studies, is in a bottleneck. He himself has said similar things in public several times. It has also been reported in the media, and a search on the Internet will give you a lot of relevant information.
It's just that everyone has always paid little attention to the information in the literary world, so most people don't know about this matter. But the one present is not a famous person in the literary world, so he naturally can't understand this matter.
Since a few years ago, Chen Qiming has been looking for people to communicate with everywhere, intending to find inspiration. At first, most of the people he looked for were famous people in the literary world, but he didn't gain much.
Since it is a celebrity, it must be a character who has been famous for a long time. The thoughts of these people have all been written in the book. And Chen Qiming has read most of those books, and he already has some understanding of their thoughts.
Later, he targeted up-and-comers. I don't know how big the effect is, anyway, he still hasn't come out of the predicament, everyone knows.
Unexpectedly, he actually found Zhu Ziqing. You must know that the 'rising stars' that Chen Qiming looked for in the past just wanted to be for himself.
He is over seventy years old this year, and those rising stars are all in their thirties and forties, and they have been in the literary world for more than ten years.
How old is Zhu Ziqing? No more than 20 years old. Many writers are still in major newspapers and magazines at this age. And he has already established himself in the literary world.
However, what shocked everyone was not that Chen Qiming was looking for him to communicate, after all, with the results he has shown now, it is not impossible for Chen Qiming to find him. What really made everyone unbelievable was that he actually made Chen Qiming gain something.
It's a real test of their cognitive abilities.
"Is what Brother Demin said true?" asked Chen Liulin in surprise.
"At first I didn't believe it. It wasn't until the friend who told me about it brought out the photos and the details of the conversation that I had to believe it. Cheng Demin replied.
The two of them had several academic exchanges with Chen Qiming, so they had a more personal understanding of his profound knowledge. The shock came heavier than anyone else.
In addition to the two of them, the most shocking one was Jia Qigong. As masters of the same level, although the two have no conflict of interest.
But perhaps because of the fact that the literati were light, their relationship was not good. To put it properly, it's like a stranger, and even secretly exchanged hands a few times. Half of the winners and losers.
There's a good saying. The one who knows you best is your opponent. The two have been fighting secretly for so long, and they can't understand each other's situation.
Because they get along at the same level, he understands what Chen Qiming needs better than others. That's not something that can be solved by one or two novel highlights. What he needed was a systematic new idea.
Now that Cheng Demin said that Chen Qiming got inspiration from Zhu Ziqing, doesn't that mean that Zhu Ziqing has formed a set of his own understanding in terms of knowledge?
Again, he was too young. A threshold that most writers in the literary world can't touch in their lifetime, and he touched it at such a young age?
It is said that after an exchange, Chen Lao is still unfinished. and Zhu Ziqing will recount the date. It seems that Ziqing has something to refuse. I don't know if it's true?" Cheng continued.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen's generous advice, how could I be willing to miss such a good opportunity. It's just that it's really mundane, and I have to listen to the teachings another day. Zhu Ziqing replied in a crepe manner.
"Is that true?" Cheng Demin suddenly became excited: "Then it's true that Ai Jiange said that you are going to give a lecture at Wuhan University for a while to explain the Analects?"
"Uh!!" Zhu Ziqing didn't know what to say.
Once a secret is known by a second person, it is no longer a secret. There were more than one or two people present when he communicated with Chen Qiming. Anyone with the potential for them to leak the news out.
So when Cheng Demin talked about it, he was not surprised at all. But he never expected that it was Dean Ai Jiange Ai who leaked the news.
Lao Ai, you are really tireless. Zhu Ziqing complained in his heart.
"Ziqing, is what Demin said true?" Jia Qigong finally couldn't help but ask.
"At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and I wanted to ask for leave, but Dean Ai didn't approve it. In the end, he was forced to sign the covenant under the city. Zhu Ziqing put all the blame on Ai Jiange without any guilt. Whoever let the matter be caused by him, don't look for him to blame for whom.
"That's true. Are you ready?" Jia Qigong didn't ask if he could speak. I don't ask him what he says. Instead, he asked him directly if he was ready. Apparently thinking he has the strength.
The other writers in this room, even if they have doubts in their hearts, will not speak out at this time. can be recognized by Chen Qiming, Zhu Ziqing must have his extraordinary.
Moreover, Ai Jiange is the dean of the Faculty of Arts of Wuhan University, and he is much better than them in teaching. He must have a certain degree of certainty to let Zhu Ziqing open the lecture. They say too much and it's just annoying.
"We already have an idea, but it will take time to sort it out. That's why I don't dare to go to school until now. Zhu Ziqing smiled bitterly.
"Just have a score, don't be in a hurry and think slowly. It's got to be the best it can be. Jia Qigong instructed.
"I understand. Thank you Mr. Jia for your concern. ”
"By the way, I heard Ai Jiange say that Old Chen will also go. Cheng Demin added.
……
"Seniors. We are here today to congratulate Brother Xiaoping on his exit. I don't know if you've seen his works?" Zhu Ziqing seized the opportunity and quickly shifted the topic to Liu Xiaoping.
Today's gathering is for Master Jia Qigong to open up his eyes for Liu Xiaoping's new book, and what happened just now is indeed a bit noisy. Fortunately, they have a good relationship. If it had been someone else, I would have been angry.
But he can't rely on a good relationship to keep the topic of hegemony. Otherwise, this friend won't have to do it sooner or later.
"It's okay, it's okay, you talk. I'm not in a hurry. Liu Xiaoping said with a smile on the side: "When you talk about it, you are talking about me." Don't be afraid of being late, I have a lot of houses. If we can't finish reading it today, we can continue to watch it tomorrow. ”
His words caused everyone to burst into laughter, but the atmosphere in the living room finally recovered from the seriousness just now to a relaxed one.
"Good fellow, you won't give up if you don't achieve your goal. We're all on a thief ship. Zhu Mingfeng scolded with a smile.
"How dare I. All of you are well-known in the literary world. If you can't even write a book review, you won't be able to spread it. I'm also thinking about your seniors, isn't it? Liu Xiaoping continued to interject.
"Haha...... You kid. When you hear this, you know that you are not right. No wonder he went astray and suffered that sin. Zhu Mingfeng said with a smile.
Zhu Mingfeng's words are not sarcastic. It's a scandal to go astray, but it's a good story to get lost.
Although they have not yet seen Liu Xiaoping's work. But if Jia Qigong can start the front station a few months in advance, and today he invited so many channels to taste the book, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with this work.
can make Jia Qigong satisfied. This book won't be any worse. That's why Zhu Mingfeng is not afraid of offending people when he makes such jokes.
"It's good for young people to experience more setbacks. In the future, the literary road will be much less bumpy. Xiaoping's exit this time is bound to be a blockbuster. "Chen Jie is a woman, and her heart is more delicate. I was afraid that Liu Xiaoping would have a bad heart, so he added.
"You don't have to praise him, this kid's life's achievements will stop there. I don't have any other extravagant hopes for him, and if I do this series well, I can die blindly. Jia Qigong didn't save face for his apprentices at all.
"Jia Lao's words are a bit too much. Small children. Who can still not make mistakes. As the so-called prodigal son does not change his money, as long as he can correct it, he is still a good boy. Dang Lei persuaded.
This was the first time Zhu Ziqing had heard him speak. No matter how hilarious they were just now. Dang Lei just listened from the side and didn't say a word.
Originally, Zhu Ziqing thought that he was not good at talking, but now it seems that he should not.
Several other people also followed, saying that Jia Qigong's requirements were too strict.
"You don't understand. Jia Qigong shook his head and said: "If this pit is he who came out of it himself, then it is really possible to have a bright future as you said." It's a pity that it's not, this hole was filled by Ziqing for him. ”
"Huh?" Everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Ziqing.
It's him again, where is his limit? For Zhu Ziqing's magic, several seniors were a little numb.
"That doesn't mean that Xiaoping stopped there. Find your own path. Step by step, the achievement will not be low. Jia Lao, you are too demanding. ”
"I hope so. Jia Qigong said disapprehantly, but he did not continue to belittle his apprentice.
Just now, his master hit himself hard, and Liu Xiaoping couldn't object. I could only listen awkwardly to the side.
Seeing that the page was about to be closed, he hurriedly poured water into everyone's teacups as if he were courteous. Then he put down the teapot and said:
"This matter is indeed thanks to Ziqing. If he hadn't woken up, I don't know how long I would have been confused. ”
"The more you talk about it, the more curious I become, tell us what's going on. Dang Lei asked.
So, Liu Xiaoping told everyone about the cause and effect of the incident. At the end, he said to Zhu Qing:
"Ziqing, this idea is yours. So I made a decision without your permission. You're juxtaposed as an author. ”
"No, no, no, how can this work. I just had an idea. Books are written by you with a lot of painstaking work. How can I sign it. Zhu Ziqing hurriedly refused.
His reluctance to sign this time was not because he was afraid of getting into trouble. With his current status. Don't be afraid of trouble. But I really don't want to take advantage of this.
Because of the style, he is not interested in this theme, and it is useless to keep this idea. Taking it out and befriending Jia Qigong has already played its role.
This book was created by Liu Xiaoping after more than a year of retreat, and he never signed it.
"No, you have to sign it. Otherwise, I'd rather not have this idea. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoping's attitude was also very resolute.
One is adamant to give, the other is resolute not to. Things were at a stalemate for a while.
The others looked at each other in amazement. Okay, what are these two doing?
"Don't argue with the two of you, or else. This book is clear and will not be signed. But how about Xiaoping write the ins and outs of the matter in the preface?" At this time, Zhu Mingfeng stood up and persuaded him.
"No, I can't. Zhu Ziqing and Liu Xiaoping refused at the same time.
Although the words are the same, the meaning is diametrically opposed. Zhu Ziqing still doesn't want to take advantage of this. But Liu Xiaoping felt that this was not enough.
"Alright, let's decide. But it was Master Jia Qigong who made the final decision. Then he said angrily to Liu Xiaoping: "What are you doing stupidly." Why don't you go and take out the book and ask a few seniors to correct it. (To be continued.) )
