"You, what do you mean by that?" Hua Manlou angrily pointed at Xiao Fei and asked.

"What do you mean, figure it out for yourself." Xiao Fei said with a smile.

Yuan Yan coughed at this time, knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Okay, everyone be quiet, we have something to do next." ”

He didn't even have the idea of summarizing Xiao Fei's work workshop now, and simply ignored it.

"Dean Yuan, you say, let's all listen." Han Li also said in a slightly flattering tone.

Only a few of the people who participated in Xiao Fei's work seminar this time were from outside the province, and the others were from this province, so naturally they were all very flattering to the president of Yuan Yan.

Yuan Yan smiled and glanced at the people present, and then said: "It's time for the annual 'Provincial Creative Outstanding Works Award' again, for the sake of fairness, here I have made a list of candidates with Chairman Zhang, I mean, list this list, everyone here can help, each person can check five names, and then hand in the results, let's count on the spot, the five people with the most votes will be selected for the award, what do you think?" ”

The Provincial Outstanding Works Award is an award set up by the Hexi Provincial Government, which rewards five outstanding writers in the province every year, with a bonus of 5,000 yuan each.

Every year around this award, it is a bloody battle.

The application for this award is generally submitted by the Provincial Writers Association and submitted to the Provincial Propaganda Department.

There has long been a voice in the circle of Hexi Province, saying. The application for this year's Provincial Creative Outstanding Works Award will be controlled by Yuan Yan.

Now, it seems that the rumors have come true.

Seemingly. Yuan's grim background is really very strong, and he has just taken the position. forced Zhang Yi, the chairman of the Writers' Association, to retreat and dare not take his edge.

"Good! It is our honor to witness the birth of the highest level of award in Hexi! ”

"What Dean Yuan says to do, let's do it!"

"Dean, you speak, where you point, we will fight!"

As soon as Yuan Yan spoke, there was a flood of words below, and Xiao Fei's hair stood on end, and he said in his heart, I am a Lige test! Why don't these people have the slightest literati discipline?

Xiao Fei remembered what Zhang Yi once said. I want to apply for a Hexi Provincial Outstanding Work Award this year.

If Yuan Yan comes to control it, then this promise is probably in vain.

Xiao Fei shrugged his shoulders and said in his heart, it doesn't matter.

A provincial award, in fact, is a little famous in the province, and if it is out of the province, it will have no influence.

Yuan Yan seems to be ready to do so.

Soon, people came in and began handing out photocopied papers with the shortlist, one for each person. There were more than twenty people in the conference room.

Xiao Fei also got one.

When he saw it, his name was on the list.

The others were also some of the province's well-known writers or rookies. There is generally an unspoken rule for awards like this, and that is: Those who have won this award will generally not participate in the selection for a few years after winning the award.

But now on this list, Zhang Yi, Yuan Yan and other so-called famous artists in this province who have won this award are also listed. There were seventy or eighty people on the list.

It would be too difficult to pick 5 of these seventy or eighty people.

But. It seems difficult for anyone else in the room.

Many people only took about ten seconds to check it and then handed it in directly.

Xiao Fei thought for a moment. Last year, that is, in 1996, the province published important works, and set off a certain influence on public opinion in the domestic literary circle, together with his own name.

He also handed it in.

Yuan Yan took a look at the results and was already sure in his heart.

It seems that the people I chose are still very good, and they almost come according to their own will.

According to this selection method, Xiao Fei will not be designated to win the award.

He called two staff members of the hospital over, explained on the spot, corrected the final results, and then instructed them to count the final results.

Twenty minutes later, the results were in.

Yuan Yan stood up with a smile in his hand, he looked at the people present, coughed and said, "The results have come out, let me announce it to everyone." ”

Everyone present looked at Yuan Yan.

"Yuan Yan, that is, myself, received 22 votes, and I was ranked first in the election." Yuan Yan read to the paper, even when he read his own name, he didn't feel the slightest awkwardness.

A well-deserved expression.

"Wow"

There was a warm applause from the audience.

"Dean Yuan is amazing, it's almost full, it's too good."

"It's a pity that who didn't elect Dean Yuan, there was one vote missing, and it wasn't a full vote."

"Congratulations, Dean! It is indisputable that you are the only one who won this award, and you are the well-deserved mainstay of our Hexi Province! ”

Accompanied by applause, it was a flood of rhetoric.

"Thank you, thank you." Yuan Yan tried his best to remain reserved, waving his hand to greet everyone.

Then he continued to read.

"Zhang Yi, with 20 votes, he is the second place in this vote, congratulations to Chairman Zhang." Yuan Yan applauded.

"Chairman Zhang is also worthy of everyone's expectations." Some people were talking about it, and the applause was much less momentum than Fang Cai.

The next thing that came out was the name of another vice chairman of the Writers' Association in the province, who was also one of the more important writers in the province.

The last two selected are two rookies.

One is called Li Qiuhang, and the other is Du Ruomei.

These two also have backgrounds. Li Qiuhang is said to be a relative of a big leader in the province, and Du Ruomei, known in Hexi circles, is a disciple of Zhang Yi.

This result is too intriguing.

It's almost the same as Yuan Yan and Zhang Yi dividing up the list of winners, and Li Qiuhang is still very close to Yuan Yan on weekdays.

The list is finished.

There was a cold silence in the conference room.

To be honest, even many of you here are very dissatisfied with this result.

Especially not very convinced by Li Qiuhang, Li Qiuhang is just a gentleman, basically he has not published many works, why did he win the award like this?

If he can win the award, everyone here thinks that he is also eligible to win.

"Ahem"

When Yuan Yan saw the cold scene, he couldn't help coughing twice and swept the people present.

Then, the audience burst into listless applause.

Yuan Yan raised his hand to signal, the applause stopped, he looked at Xiao Fei and pretended to be sorry and said: "Xiao Fei, it seems that everyone does not recognize you, you still need further efforts, I thought you would win this award, but I didn't expect that almost no one chose you, so it can be seen that there must still be a lot of shortcomings in your works, which is also the main reason why you failed to win the award......

He gushed in front of him.

It seems to be encouraging Xiao Fei, but in fact, every word is punishing.

"Huh! Dean Yuan, don't comfort me, in fact, what is the real situation, I think, you know best in your heart, if you really lift the lid and reveal the mess inside, I don't think you will look good on your face, right? You see, there are a lot of reporters on the scene, you don't think that they believe what you say, right? Journalists love to get to the bottom of things, you must not arouse their interest in the inside story of this provincial award for outstanding creative works, if you are unfortunate enough to arouse their interest, I think, you will be in big trouble. Hahaha! ”

Xiao Fei didn't wait for Yuan Yan to finish speaking, and then spoke quickly.

If you want to block me, I'm sorry, and I won't make you feel good.

These reporters who came to the scene will not listen to Yuan Grim, they are here to catch the news, Xiao Fei, who performed the most eye-catching last year, actually missed the provincial award for outstanding creative works, which is probably shocking!

ps: The third update, ask for genuine support, don't let the author feel cold. (To be continued......)
