Chapter 60: Consensus

That's it for the New Concept Essay Contest?

The preliminary round is too easy, right?

While Xiao Yuan couldn't believe it, such a thought flashed through her mind.

Didn't Mr. Su say that the preliminary round of this essay contest was the most difficult to pass, and the judges were very picky.

Ms. Su also gave examples of several composition masters she had coached.

Some of them won the national grand prize of the "Language Newspaper Cup", and some broke into the finals of the "National Innovative Essay Contest for Primary and Secondary School Students", went to the capital to participate in the competition and finally won the first prize, but their essays could not pass the preliminary round of the New Concept Essay Contest.

These examples all gave Xiao Yuan an impression of the New Concept Essay Contest, and she only felt that those outstanding seniors couldn't pass the preliminary round, and she definitely couldn't pass it.

As a result, now she was informed that she not only passed the preliminary round, but her work was about to be published in "Sprout" magazine, and she even had a manuscript fee!

When others participate in essay contests, they all have to spend a lot of money.

Although many essay contests advertise that there is no entry fee, in fact, you have to buy the newspaper and magazine that holds the essay contest to get the entry form, like to participate in the New Concept Essay Contest, you first have to buy a copy of Sprout magazine.

Of course, Xiao Yuan didn't buy it, and the registration form she used was taken down by Su Yinmeng from the "Sprout" magazine she subscribed to.

No matter which essay contest it is, even if you enter the finals and invite you to participate in the competition, you will basically not be reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses.

It's okay for the New Concept Essay Contest, and it will reimburse 500 yuan for transportation expenses.

Because of this, students who can go to the on-site competition can at least get a finalist, third prize, or second prize, at least they can't let the students who spend so much money to compete on the spot go home empty-handed.

Xiao Yuan didn't spend a penny now, and she still earned 800 yuan, which makes those students who spent a lot of money to participate in the essay competition, but only won a consolation award in the end, how can they be embarrassed?

800 yuan is definitely a huge amount of money for a high school student, and she didn't expect that the first money she earned was earned from writing, which she was not good at.

"Teacher Su, am I so lucky that I passed the preliminary round so easily?" Xiao Yuan wondered.

"What kind of luck is this, this is strength! I'll just say, you're super talented at writing, you don't know what ridiculous things happened to the editor of "Sprout" after contacting me that day! ”

Su Yinmeng was originally talking to Xiao Yuan at the window, but now she walked directly into the classroom, sat on the empty seat next to Xiao Yuan, and then talked to Xiao Yuan with great interest.

Obviously, she is more excited than Xiao Yuan, the party who passed the preliminary round.

And Su Yinmeng's actions attracted the attention of many students in the mathematics competition class, after all, the other party is a rare teacher in the school who has both talent and good looks and a gentle personality.

She is even the goddess teacher in the minds of many little boys, maybe boys of this age think that more mature women are more charming and charming.

Su Yinmeng then told Xiao Yuan how this incident made her laugh.

It turned out that the editor actually believed all of Xiao Yuan's articles as true, relying on her years of reading experience and literary literacy, she felt that only an author who had really experienced all this could write so many real details and a perfect sense of picture!

Therefore, the editor even wondered if the author was still in a predicament, she tried all kinds of openly and secretly, cautiously knocked on the side, as long as she felt that something was wrong, then she would call the police as soon as possible!

Even this female editor named Qin Lei doubted Su Yinmeng's identity, and the other party said that she was the author's instructor, so could it be a member of the trafficking group that controlled the author?

I have to admit that Qin Lei's brain hole is very big and there are a lot of dramas, and in the end, Su Yinmeng directly told her own family background, and asked Qin Lei to directly Baidu who her parents were, and Qin Lei gradually let go of her doubts.

Su Yinmeng also told Qin Lei that the "Stray Orphan" written by her student is basically fiction and fantasy, and the only part that may be true is the beginning of the article - Lin Yun was indeed beaten and scolded at home.

She also sent Xiao Yuan's previous full-score essay "Facing Difficulties" to prove what she said.

Qin Lei only felt that she couldn't accept the fact that she was deceived by a fictional novel by a high school student!

She couldn't even believe it was a novel, as if she had watched a documentary that she thought was true, only to be told in the end that it wasn't a documentary at all, but a fictional movie.

In the end, Qin Lei could only reluctantly admit that this child's writing talent was too strong, and he could write fake things so realistically, and even the details were made up seamlessly!

But then again, does this kid have serious psychological problems, otherwise how could he have imagined that under such a terrible plot, he would have broken his legs and been blinded......

Is it really appropriate for a high school student to paint such a real and cruel picture in an understatement tone?

Qin Lei couldn't help but care about Xiao Yuan for a few words, but this actually resonated with Su Yinmeng, and then she began to talk about what happened to Lin Yun, and suspected that Lin Yun was too deeply injured and had not healed yet, so she paid all kinds of attention and care to each other in school, hoping to give each other the warmth of home.

Qin Lei was greatly moved by these words, and she said that she must meet this talented female author who has suffered serious psychological trauma and is extremely depressed in person to see if she can do anything to help Xiao Yuan.

Of course, Su Yinmeng and Qin Lei's later "consensus", she didn't tell Xiao Yuan, she only said the various drama actions after Qin Lei believed this article before.

In fact, Qin Lei's direct letting "Sprout" magazine publish "Stray Orphans" is already an unconventional operation, which shows her appreciation for this article and this genius author.

Generally speaking, the publication of new concept essays is a special supplement of "Sprout" to assemble and publish, rather than directly in the original magazine.

It's just that most of the new concept essays that pass the preliminary round are not high enough to be published in this journal.

But obviously, Qin Lei believes that the standard of "Stray Orphans" has met the requirements of this journal's publication, which has also been recognized by other editors.

Even Hu Weiying, deputy editor-in-chief of "Sprout", said that if the other party can write such high-quality works again, "Sprout" magazine will welcome the other party's submission!

"By the way, do you know the time and place of the semi-finals of the New Concept Essay Contest?" After Su Yinmeng finished talking about the gossip, she finally got back to business.
