Chapter 253: "Dead Water"

A group of people left the Poetry Association and went to a hotel next door.

Through Zhao Liren's introduction, Lin Li knew that the Poetry Association and even the Federation of Literary and Art Circles would come to this hotel for dinner.

The hotel is not a good hotel, but the environment on the second floor can be placed with seven or eight tables, and at this time there are three tables, which seems very empty.

You don't have to think about it to know that the people of the Poetry Association must have come to eat and drink often, and there is enough oil and water, enough for the boss to remove other tables for them.

After all, today is not a New Year's holiday, and Friday night is not the peak of dining, the first floor is enough to cope, and the hotel owner is naturally willing to give them the treatment of a whole floor.

There are also two waiters standing upstairs waiting for you.

After Lin Li and the others arrived, they waited for a while, and a few more people came.

Zhao Liren pulled Lin Li to introduce him, they were all some leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and those people were very polite when they saw Lin Li, but Lin Li was a little cold.

The dishes in the hotel were obviously ordered and prepared long ago, and everyone began to serve them together.

Lin Li and Zhao Liren followed several leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles at one table, and the others sat at the other two tables, which happened to be full.

After the dishes came up, Lin Li found that the dishes on his table were good, chicken, duck and fish, but if it was calculated according to the standard of 20,000 tables, this dish would be very ordinary, and the other two tables were much less than his own table, which was a little cold.

Lin Li even suspected that the hotel had a kickback, otherwise, it would be impossible for them not to say anything if the hotel was so bad, and they would come often, which was too unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Lin Li was disappointed again.

Today, since he entered the Poetry Association, Lin Li has not had a moment to feel that he has entered the Poetry Association, and this group of people does not look like poets at all, but more like businessmen who drill camps.

Flattery, wise and self-protecting, these people just regard this as an ordinary job to mess around, how can they have the arrogance and ambition of literati.

During the meal, everyone staggered and drank, Lin Li didn't drink, and those people were not easy to persuade, so they took care of them and drank.

This group of people was heartbroken when they spoke during the day, but they were not ambiguous at all when they ate wine, Lin Li found that this group of people were quite able to drink, I don't know if they were born with a good amount of alcohol, or they practiced after arriving at the Poetry Association.

After a while, the other two tables began to toast Lin Li's table.

After all, Lin Li's table is full of leaders, and those people still know how to count etiquette.

"President Gao, I have come to respect you...... I did it, you feel free! ”

"President Yang, come, I'll do it, feel free!"

"President Zhao, I respect you!"

"President Lin, I respect you, you don't have to drink, I'll do it!"

…………

After the two tables toasted, they were all a little drunk.

Everyone was also full of food and drink, so the senior president of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles proposed: "Everyone is happy today, how about I propose that everyone write poems to help the fun?"

The leader spoke, and everyone naturally agreed, and it seems that there are many such poems and entertainment programs on weekdays.

Everyone drank up, and it seemed that their true nature was beginning to be exposed, and they lost the cautious feeling they had before.

Chen Hualiang picked up the wine glass and took the lead in saying: "Let's come first, the leaders will come last, otherwise we will be embarrassed to read the poem after you finish reading."

Another person said, "Yes, yes, let's come first, this is called throwing bricks and attracting jade!"

President Gao smiled and said, "Okay, then our President Lin will come last, we all know that President Lin's poems are a must!"

"Yes, yes, President Lin will come last, otherwise we will all be embarrassed to read it."

Lin Li's poetic name seems to be more than his prestige.

Lin Li glanced at the group of drunken people and said, "Okay, I'd love to hear your poems."

Chen Hualiang smiled: "Then I'll be ugly first!"

The crowd applauded, and many of them were clearly already drunk.

Chen Hualiang walked around the wine table with a wine glass for a while, and read slowly:

I don't want to be grateful for the poor

Although poverty has taught me to be thrifty

I don't want to be thankful for the ordeal either

Even if the tribulation makes me grow

I don't want to thank those who look down on me

Even though you have made me stronger

Me at the moment

I just want to thank the Poetry Association and all the leaders

Let me be helpless in my time

Full of power

Brave the way forward

After Chen Hualiang finished reading, he smiled and said, "See you laughing, everyone, I made it temporarily, everyone bear with me."

Everyone shouted one after another, Lin Li smiled, and said in his heart that Chen Hualiang said that it was really ugly, and it was a rare time to be honest.

Chen Hualiang listened to the applause of the crowd, thanked everyone embarrassedly, and then said: "Fang Yongjian, you have a song!"

The person named Fang Yongjian in the Poetry Association stood up with a smile and said, "Hualiang, you are asking me to be a green leaf for you, yes, I will fulfill you."

After speaking, Fang Yongjian also thought for a while, and then read it.

If encountered

It takes a distance of snow

I am willing to climb over the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

If you know each other

Need a good conversation

I'm willing to stay up all night

If grateful

It takes a thousand words

I am willing to say all the praises of the whole world

President Gao

It's you who let me know that this world is so wonderful

It was you who made me realize how small I am

Thanksgiving, no regrets in this life!

Fang Yongjian applauded again after reading it, and the senior president of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's exaggerated."

The words were reproachful, but the tone couldn't hide the happiness.

Fang Yongjian said excitedly: "It's not an exaggeration, it's all from the bottom of my heart."

Lin Li said: "It's really vernacular."

Everyone didn't hear that Lin Li was saying that this was not a poem, they all thought that Lin Li had also blended in, but they laughed even more happily.

Ye Shengqiang saw that Lin Li also integrated, and after three glasses of wine, he became bolder, and said, "I'll come, I'll come."

Everyone quieted down and listened to Ye Shengqiang.

Ye Shengqiang looked at Lin Li, cleared his throat, and read in a passionate voice:

First time I knew

What it looks like to be stunning

It's also the first time I know

The true meaning of life

First time I knew

Life is worth loving

First time I knew

The future is worth looking forward to

First time I knew

The beauty of poetry is so detailed

It's also the first time I know

There are many, many better poets than I write

……

yes

So many firsts

It's all because of you

That person is you

President Lin!

Ye Shengqiang is the director, if this poem was written on the spot, according to his conscience, it would be much better than the previous two.

At least it looks like a poem, and it is full of poems mentioned, and the arrangement is not bad.

After listening to it, everyone also understood that this poem was a praise for Lin Li, and they applauded and looked at Lin Li.

Lin Li never thought that a group of them would use their poems to please themselves, a big man, especially to himself with affection, so many times for the first time, it really made Lin Li a little crying and laughing.

When this group of people saw Lin Li and wanted to laugh, they all thought that everything was all right, and they attributed Lin Li to their own people, so they boasted that they were even more energetic.

Then a few more people recited the poem.

However, in Lin Li's voice, these people's beautiful poetry recitation is no different from a sycophant competition.

Reading back and forth, it was either to thank the Poetry Association, or to a certain leader, and a few people also thanked Lin Li with poems by the way, which made Lin Li almost laugh angrily.

After the two tables finished reading the poem, it was Lin Li's turn to read it.

The Poetry Association belongs to the management of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and according to his position, Lin Li, as the vice president of the Poetry Association, should be the first to read it, but before Lin Li could speak, the senior president said: "Lin Li is the last, our group of people are from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, writing poetry is not a strong point, if you read poetry, we are embarrassed to read it."

Lin Li nodded after hearing this, and said, "That's right, after I finish reading this poem, you must be embarrassed."

Everyone was stunned when they heard Lin Li say this, and President Gao's face also changed, and then he reacted, Lin Li was joking, but his facial expression didn't change when he was joking, so he smiled and said, "Haha, what President Lin said is right, then let's come first!"

Zhao Liren said: "I'll come first, I'll come first."

After Zhao Liren finished speaking, he got up and read a poem, but to Lin Li's ears, it couldn't be considered a poem at all, just a sentence, divided into several paragraphs.

What Zhao Liren said is nothing more than the meaning of helping each other in the same boat and forging ahead together.

After that, several other leaders also recited poems, which also had similar meanings.

The more Lin Li listened, the more angry he became, this group of people, on their lips, was that the Poetry Association was now a difficult time, and everyone wanted to twist into a rope, as if it was for Lin Li.

As if to say, the Poetry Association is like this, you are also your own person, you must be of the same mind as us.

They blamed the problems of the Poetry Association on Lou Haojie and the others, and felt that Lin Li would stop if he knocked down Lou Haojie and these people, after all, they were now in the same boat.

They don't seem to be aware of the problems in them.

Maybe it's because of the authorities' fans, everyone in the poetry association is so flattering, and they get by, so that they feel that there is nothing wrong with this.

But Lin Li can't do it, he can't read the poems of flattering leaders, and he can't accept their work attitude, the Huaxia Poetry Association should be a gathering place for a group of idealistic and talented people, and it shouldn't be so smoky.

"President Lin, it's your turn."

Everyone finished reading the poem, and this made Lin Li read.

Lin Li stood up and glanced at everyone.

Lin Li's eyes were full of disdain and disgust for this group of people.

Everyone wanted to applaud, but they were a little overwhelmed by Lin Li's eyes.

They always felt that Lin Li had knocked Lou Haojie and the others down, even if his goal was achieved, now he is willing to join the Poetry Association, at least he has no opinion on them, and although Lin Li didn't talk much at night, everyone could see that he wanted to laugh just now, and he also said that everyone was embarrassed after reading the poem, which was obviously a joke.

Lin Li was unreasonable to be angry suddenly.

At this time, Lin Li spoke, his tone was the same as his expression, very cold.

"Today is the first time I've met you, but I seem to have known you for a long time, and you're like this every day, right? You want me to read a poem, okay, I just have a poem for you! ”

After Lin Li finished speaking, many people applauded, and some people felt that something seemed to be a little wrong, and their eyes revealed worry.

Lin Li said in a cold voice:

It's a desperate backwater,

The breeze can't blow the slightest ripple.

It's better to throw more broken copper and iron,

Splash your leftovers.

…………

After hearing this, everyone's faces changed, their smiles disappeared, and their expressions froze.

Stagnant water?

Still desperate for backwater?

Lin Li said that this poem was given to them, could it be that this stagnant water imagery refers to the Poetry Association?

The second floor, which was originally playful, was suddenly very quiet, and there was only the voice of Lin Li.

Maybe the copper will be green into jade,

A few peach blossoms rusted out of the tin can;

Let the greasy weave a layer of Luo Qi,

The mold steamed some clouds for him.

Let the stagnant water ferment into a ditch of green wine,

Bleached with pearl-like white foam;

The laughter of the little beads turned into big beads,

It was bitten by a flower mosquito that stole wine.

So a ditch of desperate stagnant water,

It's a bit distinctive.

If the frog can't stand the loneliness,

It was also a stagnant water that cried out and sang.

…………

Everyone was still a little confused before, but when they heard this, everyone understood, Lin Li was scolding them!

This poem is obviously saying that the Poetry Association is a pool of stagnant water, and they are broken copper and iron and leftovers in the four waters!

And Lin Li is the frog, the frog singing on the edge of the backwater.

The contrast is stark and the irony is strong, which makes them look like ashes for a while.

Lin Li finally turned into an angry voice and said in a loud voice:

It's a desperate backwater,

This is not where beauty lies,

It's better to let the ugliness reclaim it,

Look what kind of world it makes!

After reading the last sentence, Lin Li finally glanced at everyone and walked away!

Everyone looked at each other, and only then did they understand that Lin Li just said that everyone would be embarrassed after reading the poem, which originally meant that he would write such a poem.

If Lin Li had read such a poem early, they would have been embarrassed to read those sycophant poems.

Lin Li's poem was scolded mercilessly, scolded heartily, and they all blushed after listening to it, and they didn't know whether they were ashamed to memorize this poem or drink alcohol.
