The interview ended, and the reporter left.

Editor-in-chief Zhao locked himself in his office and couldn't help but laugh three times.

He felt that his decision to invite Xiao Fei to do the "New Concept Essay Contest" was a wise move. He originally thought that co-sponsoring the award-winning authors with seven first-class universities and submitting them to Peking University, Tsinghua University, and domestic first-class writers to form a blockbuster review jury would be an important gimmick for the competition he strongly organized.

However, what he didn't expect was that the matter of inviting Xiao Fei to be a review committee suddenly sparked a great controversy in China.

Because of this, the intensity of the news dissemination of the "New Concept Essay Contest" was much greater than he expected.

In just a few days, the event has begun to have a national impact. By the time the announcement of the contest in the second issue of the magazine before the Spring Festival is released, this event will definitely be highly watched and the participants will flock in.

The self-breakthrough of "Sprout" magazine is about to succeed.

It's no wonder he's not excited.

On January 28, 1997, the twentieth day of the lunar month of the old calendar, on this day, two news reports were published in the Beijing Evening News and the Xinmin Evening News.

The title in the Beijing Evening News was: "Meng Lao said, it is a good thing to let young people mature early!" 》。

The title in the Xinmin Evening News was: "Sprout confirms position: support Xiao Fei, opponents can leave!" 》。

This is equivalent to the director of the review committee of the "New Concept Essay Competition" and the organizer Sprout Magazine have stood up and given Xiao Fei the strongest support.

As soon as these two pieces of news came out, they caused an uproar in China.

Writers and readers who support Xiao Fei are overjoyed, believing that such a clear statement is long overdue.

It's not too late, though.

But the opponents in those circles were hit hard, they didn't expect that Meng Lao would take the initiative to support Xiao Fei, and they didn't expect that Meng Ya would not hesitate to offend a group of well-known old writers in order to support Xiao Fei.

Meng Lao's interview has been extended and interpreted by many people.

In the two days that followed, many articles were published in newspapers around the country.

Without exception, these articles attacked the narrow-mindedness and dark inner thinking of certain writers: they tried to dominate the literary world and establish a cultural order that acted according to their own will. Let the up-and-coming young people act in accordance with this order, even if they are talented, if they want to get ahead, they have to line up and slowly work on their qualifications.

At this point, public opinion suddenly completely reversed.

Those who spoke out criticized Xiao Fei. Those who wanted to suppress Xiao Fei were fiercely criticized.

Dongyuan Provincial Writers' Association, Fang Wenjie's office.

He sat behind a large desk with two newspapers and a Xinmin Evening News. A Beijing evening newspaper.

Fang Wenjie looked at the two news articles in these two newspapers.

He'd seen it no less than ten times.

His face was pale, his brow furrowed, and he was in a very bad mood.

Is it true that he has long been outdated and abandoned by this era? Otherwise, why is the sense of presence so weak? Just a small magazine "Sprout", he dared to humiliate himself like this, and if he said that the teacher who couldn't figure it out would leave, he would not keep it.

Isn't that what you're saying to yourself?

How could he be so fearless?

In any case, Lao Tzu is a powerful writer who has been famous for decades! He slammed the table hard, how could they look down on themselves so much?

And Wang Meng, this old boy, what's so great about you? Wouldn't you just be a little lucky? Climbed a little higher, have you been a minister of culture for a few years?

In terms of qualifications, you're not much older than me, are you?

Think back then, when I was famous and majestic, what were you doing? You're cowering like a ground mouse licking your wounds in an unknown corner, aren't you?

It's good now, you're going to step on me as a blessing, I'm sorry!

Fang Wenjie took a sip. But there was still nothing to be done. Now he is compared with Wang Meng, and his status and prestige are indeed too far away.

He had to recognize that fact.

Fang Wenjie had been thinking about it for a long time, and he found that he didn't have any good way to reverse the decline he was facing.

He wanted to make a statement in anger. Saying that I am no longer a judge, I am leaving.

However, he hesitated, and felt. It won't be of any use to make this character by himself, and people won't care about his departure at all!

Just like at the beginning, when he was invited to be a judge, he casually mentioned it to himself, and he didn't force it to be.

Leave, Fang Wenjie is unwilling!

I really just left in a gloomy way. That also left in the image of a loser!

It's better to continue to be this judge, and then I want to see how evil this young man named Xiao Fei has become!

Fang Wenjie thought twice and made this decision.

Hexi Provincial College of Literature, looking at the news on the table from several newspapers with huge domestic influence, Yuan Yan was also a little anxious.

He found that his name had been criticized several times.

And his friend, Liu Changjiang, the new editor-in-chief of the Central Plains Evening News, also complained to him several times, saying that the interview with Xiao Fei last time was a bit reckless.

Many readers called the evening newspaper and asked the evening newspaper why it suppressed Xiao Fei, a young writer in this province? How many years has it taken for this province to produce such a talent, why can't it be cultivated and protected, but try to harm him and destroy him, what kind of wolf heart and dog lungs are stored in the evening newspaper?

Also, after Xiao Fei's column was stopped, it was also strongly opposed by readers.

There are even many readers who clearly stated to the evening newspaper that they will not subscribe to the evening newspaper again!

The most realistic, the retail volume of the Central Plains Evening News in the market is plummeting, and the retail volume of the original evening newspaper can reach about 100,000 copies per day in the city, but now? That's a drop of more than 20,000 copies!

This puts too much pressure on Liu Changjiang.

Only then did Liu Changjiang realize how huge the price he had to pay for helping Yuan Yan regardless of it!

As soon as Yuan Yan finished Liu Changjiang's complaining phone call to himself, he received another call from Dong Liubin, deputy director of the Provincial Propaganda Department.

Dong Liubin reprimanded him again, warning him that he was not allowed to make trouble against Xiao Fei in the future! If he finds out something like this again, he will be very disappointed in Yuan Yan!

This made Yuan Yan startled.

hurriedly expressed his remorse, saying that he would pay attention to the overall situation in the future and would not make mistakes again.

In the middle of winter, Yuan Yan answered the phone and found that he was sweating profusely.

He thought in frustration, could this Xiao Fei be the nemesis of his life? Why is it that every time he faces him, he loses everything?

Before the news of Xinmin Evening News came out, Editor Fei had already called Xiao Fei, so Xiao Fei knew in advance about "Sprout" to the end.

He was very pleased with this.

This shows that the eyes of the budding editorial department are still bright, knowing who is declining and who represents the brilliant future.

After seeing Meng Lao's exclusive interview with the Beijing Evening News, Xiao Fei knew that he was about to win a big victory in the confrontation with the old order this time. (To be continued.) )xh123
