Chapter 467: Sweet Dreams Are Always Breakable
PS: I saw the update vote cast by the sister of Changjing, 9000 words of update vote, it seems that you can reach it with your hand, but unfortunately, there is still a lack of spare energy, I think I am still stable two more 6 or 7 thousand words a day, so that it can flow for a long time. I'm so busy at work, I can't rest for two days in a row on the big weekend, and I have to work in the office, which is really tiring. Book friends, give a subscription to a recommendation and a monthly pass, thank you.
As soon as Zhou Chao walked to the front of the teaching building, he saw Zheng Xingyu and several students standing there talking.
Zheng Xingyu and the others obviously saw Zhou Chao, but a few people just glanced at Zhou Chao, and they didn't mean to say hello at all, so they were talking to themselves.
Seeing this situation, a wave of anger rose from Zhou Chao's heart.
Since Zheng Xingyu left the hotel private room that night, he has never said a word to himself, and the relationship between the two is strange.
"What a dog who tends to be hot and sees the wind and steers the rudder!"
Zhou Chao said viciously in his heart.
He was curious about what they were talking about, so he stood aside and listened to them.
"Look at today's Huaxia Youth Daily, right?" Zheng Xingyu said with a smile.
"What's the news in the Youth Daily?" One student asked.
"The preliminary pre-order results of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have come out, do you know how many copies of this book are pre-ordered?" Zheng Xingyu sold a pass.
"How many copies?"
Zheng Xingyu glanced at Zhou Chao, this look was full of contempt.
"The preliminary pre-order of this book has reached more than 2.6 million copies, which is the highest number of pre-orders in the past, and more than 1.1 million copies more than the pre-order of the first volume of the best-selling novel "Notes on Tomb Robbery" by the owner of Mengbi Zhai some time ago! Who said that our history has no future and no way out? If only we could be like Xiao Fei. If you write a book and sell two or three million copies, you can make millions of dollars. How good it is to become famous and rich! Zheng Xingyu said loudly.
He said. While shaking a copy of the "Huaxia Youth Daily" in his hand, he made a loud noise.
"Oh my God! Are there really that many? More than 2 million copies, and only preliminary reservations, this is against the sky! ”
"I really didn't expect that writing history and popular science can also be popular."
"Doesn't that mean we can really give it a try?"
"I think we can try to write, Xiao Fei's pen power we will definitely not be able to reach, but we can also imitate it and write the history of other dynasties."
"Don't say it, it's really a way out."
"I'll see. What is written in the newspaper, Huaxia Youth Daily will never lie, this newspaper is worthy of our trust. ”
A group of students were talking about it, and they were all as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The career path of history students is really not very broad, and a few may dedicate themselves to historical research and grow into experts in some kind of history, but most of them either go to school to teach or change careers. After graduating, I didn't do the work of a history major.
But now, the fire of Xiao Fei's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has opened another new door for these students: to be a historical science writer!
That's the main reason why these students are so excited.
When Zhou Chao on the side heard that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" had more than 2.6 million copies prescribed, his mind went blank.
That's a staggering number.
Zhou Chao didn't want to believe it. However, if this news is published in the "China Youth Daily", then Zhou Chao can't believe it.
"Huaxia Youth Daily" is a national-level newspaper. It's a very serious newspaper, and it has no gossip potential. Every piece of information in this newspaper has been carefully verified.
How can you book so much?
As soon as this figure came out, it proved even more that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was loved by the majority of readers! I bite this book and Xiao Fei to death. Indeed, it can be piggybacked.
However, Zhou Chao knows that if he stands on the opposite side of the broadest masses of the people and criticizes this book, it is estimated that even if he is famous, he will be notorious, right?
What's the use of being infamous for him?
And Zhou Chao is also self-aware, he knows that the remarks he made in the second interview with Jinghua Xinbao are just a kind of sophistry!
It seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact it is not worth refuting at all!
A discerning person can see at a glance that he is changing the topic, arguing with strong words, and pretending to be a defender of history to cast cold arrows! In one sentence, that is: villain behavior!
Xiao Fei and his mentor Lu Zelin may not respond to him, right?
What's the use of talking about it yourself, no matter how lively you are?
The news that I have worked so hard to hype up is at most a bubble, and then people forget about it, right?
Zhou Chao knows very well that even if the hottest news is not continued with more popular content, the period of attention will only be one week at most.
For such a short period of shining, he actually lost the literati style he had maintained for many years, and completely broke off with his teacher.
Is it really worth it?
I was still too impulsive before.
It was jealousy and hatred that carried away his mind, he didn't think too much about it at all, his brain was hot, and he was bewitched by the reporter of Jinghua Xinbao, so he blocked people's guns.
What good can you do in the end by making such a fuss?
Maybe you've lost more than you gained, right?
At this moment, Zhou Chao suddenly woke up, and he realized that what he did a few days ago was extremely stupid, stupid to the point of being beyond measure.
He thought everything was too simple......
But the reality is brutal. Far from being influenced by one or two interviews published in a tabloid. The influence of Jinghua Xinbao is only a small part of Beijing.
Remorse gnawed at Zhou Chao's heart like a snake.
For a moment, his high head hung down, his straight waist bent down, his spirit collapsed, and his whole body became lost and depressed.
Zheng Xingyu and several people talked and walked towards the teaching building.
Zhou Chao heard their follow-up words.
"Did you hear that? Some time ago, our department got a major historical research project at the national level, and Professor Lu originally planned to hand over this topic to Zhou Chao to be in charge. It's a pity that he broke Professor Lu's heart at this time. It's still Zheng Xingyu's words.
"Ahh What is this topic about? ”
"For the study of the economic history of the Ming Dynasty, the state allocated more than 100,000 yuan for this topic. Now the teachers and doctoral students in the whole department are all red-eyed and staring at this matter. ”
"Zhou Chao is really a fool, you say that his brain is not pumping? I can't get along with my mentor, how dare I ask him to do it when he finishes his studies in the future......"
The voices of several people chattering became quieter.
Zhou Chao's whole body froze in place, and he was completely dumbfounded.
The national project of more than 100,000 funds is still about the economic history of the Ming Dynasty, which is simply a tailor-made topic for him!
This subject may have been applied for by Lu Zelin for him, right?
It's good now, for a moment's pleasure. He had lost such a major task.
Moreover, Zhou Chao originally planned to stay in school to teach, but now he has fallen out with Lu Zelin, so what is there left?
Zhou Chao stood there and sent a flute for a long time.
The teachers and students in the department walked back and forth, and everyone just glanced at him and walked over, and no one said a word to him.
Very suddenly, Zhou Chao howled. Raised his hand and opened his bow left and right in the face, and slapped him a few times.
"I'm a stupid fork!" He whimpered and ran briskly towards Lu Zelin's office.
He was going to apologize to Lu Zelin.
He wanted to win Lu Zelin's forgiveness.
He wanted to tell Lu Zelin that he was only bewitched by others before, and he was too simple. So it is taken advantage of. In fact, in this world, the person he loves the most is Mr. Lu. He loved Mr. Lu more than his parents.
He believes that it is for the sake of many years of teacher-student relationship. Lu Zelin may also forgive himself.
Zhou Chao strode to the door of Lu Zelin's office.
He knocked softly on the door.
"Come in!" Lu Zelin's deep voice came from the room.
Zhou Chao pushed open the door, and he saw it. Lu Zelin and Xiao Fei sat on the sofa, as if they were talking something.
Seeing Zhou Chao coming, a trace of surprise flashed in Lu Zelin's eyes, but he only glanced at Zhou Chao, and then didn't look at him again, but turned around and continued to talk to Xiao Fei.
Zhou Chao cautiously turned around and closed the door and came to Lu Zelin.
He didn't expect that Xiao Fei would be here.
It was an accident.
Originally, after he came over, if there was no one else here, he would have knelt down in front of Lu Zelin with a "poof" and begged bitterly.
But now, how did you ask him to plead with Lu Zelin in front of Xiao Fei?
He could only stand there sneeringly, he hoped that Xiao Fei would be more interesting and leave quickly, so as to give him a chance to plead with Lu Zelin.
Xiao Fei didn't expect that Zhou Chao would come to Lu Zelin here.
Moreover, looking at the look on this guy's face, full of grief like a mourner, it seems that he is a little awake, right? This stupid fork should play with his mentor, he wants to play the teacher's door, and even step on the teacher's position, he has committed too many taboos!
If Zhou Chao achieves this, Lu Zelin will choose to forgive him and continue to accept him, is there any reason?
"Xiao Fei, think about it again, this topic, I think you are quite suitable, you can write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", a book similar to the general history of the Ming Dynasty, then you must have conducted some in-depth research on the Ming Dynasty, do such a topic, plus with my guidance, you will soon be able to produce results."
Lu Zelin persuaded Xiao Fei bitterly.
"Teacher Lu, I'm real, I really don't want to do research, as soon as I do such boring research, my head hurts, I still like to write something lighter, just let me go." Xiao Fei excused.
This Lu Zelin actually wants to let himself preside over the research of a national-level topic of economic history research in the Ming Dynasty, this is too high for himself, right?
Moreover, Xiao Fei has no intention of doing academic research in history.
It was too time-consuming, and it was not the job that Xiao Fei wanted to do.
So, he's been trying his best to excuse himself.
Zhou Chao on the side heard it, Lu Zelin was planning to transfer the national-level project that was originally going to be handed over to Xiao Fei to do! (To be continued......)
