Ma Youwei's temper is very bad, which is obvious to the entire magazine, but since he knew Chen Beiming's identity, no matter how dissatisfied he was in front of Chen Beiming, he endured it and didn't dare to get angry.

But today he couldn't help it.

In the past few days, Chen Bei's meditation on rushing to the grand prize has somehow spread in the magazine, and many people immediately cast sarcastic and disdainful glances at him Ma Youwei, and behind his back, many people secretly discussed.

"Have you heard, Ma Youwei still wants to win the grand prize?"

"Huh? No way? Does he really want "Bright Sword" to win the grand prize? ”

"Yes, I heard that he has been taking Chen Beiming everywhere in the past few days to visit the judges!"

"Holy! This guy is too ignorant of the sky, right? The grand prize is also something he can compete for? ”

If it was just these discussions, he would have endured it, but the problem was that this incident also alarmed the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief personally asked today: "Pony, how did I hear the people below say that you want "Bright Sword" to compete for the grand prize?" Don't mess with other people's hills! He's still young, he has a lot of potential, you don't want to take him to do anything and ruin a good genius writer! ”

Ma Youwei heard it and was anxious.

It was Chen Beiming's idea to compete for the grand prize, and he mentioned it at the beginning.

But if the editor-in-chief really thinks that he is the one who picked up this matter, then he will not be able to mix up in the magazine in the future.

So he hurriedly defended: "Editor-in-chief, this is not my idea!" ”

But before he could continue to explain, the editor-in-chief sneered: "Come on, Ma Youwei, we have worked together for so many years, I still don't know who you are?" How could someone as innocent as Xiaoshan think about competing for any grand prize? It's not that I haven't talked to him, he is a soldier, pragmatic, serious, and down-to-earth, but he won't do such unrealistic things! ”

Get!

All the pots were carried by Ma Youwei!

So he was in a bad mood.

What's even worse is that just now, when Li Mingyu's editor in charge met him on the road, he sneered: "Yo? Mr. Ma, I heard that you are preparing to hit the grand prize, is it true, you are so bold, dare to think of this kind of thing? ”

Ma Youwei and that mother-in-law have always been at odds with each other, and now they were sarcastically ridiculed, and they almost exploded their lungs with anger.

So at this moment, when he heard that Chen Beiming was still entangled in this matter, he couldn't help but get angry.

But as soon as those words were said, he regretted it, hurriedly took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said to Chen Beiming seriously: "Xiaoshan, I was a little excited just now, I'm sorry, don't care, you know, my interests and yours are tied together, so it's absolutely impossible for me to do anything that harms your interests, just compete for the grand prize, you really don't think about it anymore, now, everyone is looking at our jokes, okay, now everyone thinks I'm prying on you, but if others know that this is your intention, So what will everyone think of you? They will think you are unrealistic and pompous......."

Ma Youwei persuaded him earnestly, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and poured a basin of cold water on him: "Also, Xiaoshan, you really should recognize the reality, yesterday we did a survey in the club, and the results showed that 40% of the judges are still inclined to Li Mingyu, and the reader questionnaire survey also shows that 30% of the readers still support Li Mingyu, and the support of the judges of "Bright Sword" is only 10%, and as for the readers, it is only 5%. Xiaoshan, you said, what are you fighting with Li Mingyu, people have worked hard for decades, have contacts with every judge, and are inextricably linked with magazines, how can you compare with others! Why did the magazine award you the grand prize? ”

These words made Chen Beiming speechless.

What can he say?

This is indeed true.

But just give up?

How is that possible!

If he can't get the grand prize, the system is afraid that he will be chopped off!

But.....

He's already used all the methods he can use!

What else can I do?

Thinking of these questions, Chen Beiming's mood was extremely heavy.

On this afternoon, according to the plan, Chen Beiming and Ma Youwei were going to attend a readers' meeting organized by October Magazine.

The meeting was held in a teahouse not far from the magazine.

There were a lot of people who came, seventy or eighty, all of whom were carefully selected and loyal readers of the magazine, and a few days ago, Chen Beiming also wrote back to everyone one by one.

When they saw Chen Beiming's real person, many readers were surprised, especially female readers, who were even more excited and screamed, everyone shouted around Chen Beiming, and held up the magazine in their hands: "Teacher Xiaoshan, sign my name." ”

Chen Beiming smiled and signed autographs for everyone, and had a simple conversation with everyone to shorten the distance between everyone so that people could support him.

The signing session was followed by a Q&A session, where readers asked questions and Chen Beiming answered.

Everyone's questions were varied, some were about works, some were about individuals, Chen Beiming answered them one by one, everyone listened to them, they were very happy, and the readers' meeting quickly reached a climax.

Because the atmosphere of the scene was very good and lively, so unconsciously, some passers-by who passed by were also attracted in, and there were more and more people, gradually reaching one hundred and thirty-four, Chen Beiming immediately seized the opportunity and worked hard, so soon some people became his readers.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ma Youwei signaled that Chen Beiming's readers' meeting should be over.

Chen Beiming took the microphone to make a final summary and thanks: "Dear readers and friends, thank you all first, thank you for participating in today's event......"

After a summary, Chen Beiming said: "Finally, I hope everyone will support me a lot, and support my work "Bright Sword", everyone knows that "Bright Sword" participated in the essay competition of "October" this time, so I hope everyone can vote for "Bright Sword", okay?" ”

The readers' emotions have risen to the point of being incomprehensible, and everyone immediately shouted when they heard Chen Beiming's words.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiaoshan, we will definitely support you!"

"Mr. Xiaoshan, I will definitely let the people around me support you!"

"Mr. Xiaoshan, you are the best, "Bright Sword" will definitely win the award this time!"

"Gotta win! "Bright Sword" must win the grand prize! ”

"Yes, you have to win the grand prize!"

Everyone's emotions are getting more and more excited.

But at this moment, a friend in the crowd who was not a loyal reader of Chen Beiming muttered: "How can "Bright Sword" win the special prize, the special prize belongs to my teacher Li Mingyu!" ”

Chen Beiming's readers were in a passionate mood, and when they heard this, they were not happy: "What did you say? You say that "Bright Sword" can't win the grand prize? "Bright Sword" is the best in this essay competition, don't you understand? ”

"The best? You haven't seen a good work, have you? Can "Bright Sword" also be considered excellent? Can I have the excellence of my teacher Li Mingyu? ”

"Li Mingyu? Which is Li Mingyu? Why haven't I heard of it? I haven't even heard of it, and he can still win the grand prize! Let me tell you, the grand prize belongs to our teacher Xiaoshan! ”

"Is that possible? The grand prize belongs to our teacher Li Mingyu. ”

"The grand prize can't be Li Mingyu's, the grand prize should be our "Bright Sword", is Li Mingyu's novel as good as our Xiaoshan teacher? Have it? ”

"Why not? Mr. Li's novel is much better than "Bright Sword", at least 10,000 times better! "Bright Sword"? What's that? That's a piece of! ”

"What do you say? You say it again! ”
