"Mr. Ji, remember me? I'm Zhang Mingguo. ”

Zhang Mingguo is the only one who knows that ABC is Ji Zhuo, the author of the dog.

Ever since he found out about it, he's been a fungiver.

Every time he saw and heard readers with ABC and dog authors arguing with each other, he couldn't help but be happy.

Quite a few of his old friends and even his wife are dog authors and ABC readers.

Every time I listen to them say that ABC's work is better than that of the dog author, or vice versa,

He couldn't help but have a smile on his face,

Several times his wife looked at him with some bewilderment.

Naturally, he kept it a secret for Ji Zhuo.

He promised Ji Zhuo to keep it secret, and naturally he did what he said.

However, every time I think about it, when ABC's identity is revealed,

Thinking about the reactions of those readers, he found it interesting.

"Remember...... Is there anything wrong with Mr. Zhang? ”

Ji Zhuo, who followed the call, had already returned to the house.

Closed the living room.

But listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, he always felt that every time this Zhang Mingguo was found, there was nothing good.

"It's not a big deal, it's the Shuren Literature Award, do you know, Mr. Ji?"

Listening to the voice, you can hear that Zhang Mingguo seems to be laughing,

Ji Zhuo listened, but was silent,

This is the second time he has heard the name of this award today.

It's a very bad feeling.

"Hmm...... Know. ”

"Coming soon?"

"Yes, after the discussion of the jury today, this year's winning works have been determined."

"Mr. Ji, you should be able to receive an official email notification in a moment, but I still volunteered to call Mr. Ji, for fear that you will ignore the email."

Since it's mentioned, it must be which of Ji's works won the award,

But listening to Zhang Mingguo's tone, there must be something wrong.

"Well, okay, I'll read the mail later."

"Hmm...... Mr. Ji, since I have called you, I will tell you about the award. ”

"There are a lot of good works that have emerged this year. After a heated debate, the jury decided to award the works of multiple writers at the same time. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Mingguo, a happy person, has already been happy,

Ji Zhuo had already roughly guessed what the result was, and his scalp had begun to tingle.

"The jury selected three works to win awards, two of which are Mr. Ji's "Kite" and "ABC's Shadow Empire......"

“……”

Sure enough, just as he expected, the work of the dog author and ABC won the award at the same time.

Ji Zhuo was silent, and then listened to say that there were three works that won awards at the same time,

I feel even worse, and I asked one more question,

"Hmm...... I know. Whose work is left? ”

"The rest of it, it's I's work, and it's the "Ordinary and Great" that can barely be compared with Mr. Ji's work now."

“……”

Ji Zhuo was even more silent.

Zhang Mingguo is still happy there,

I don't know my identity, but his main focus is still on ABC and the dog author's works won awards at the same time.

It's a bit of a big deal to see the excitement,

"Mr. Ji, do you think you are still accepting the award via video link this time? Can I inform the award committee for you? ”

Zhang Mingguo asked with a smile,

It is impossible to divide Ji Clumsy into two halves and go up to receive the award,

The point is, the same award is awarded,

And ABC and the dog author obviously can't appear at the same time.

“…… When I voted, I had already suggested that the other jurors should choose a work, but the noisy jury couldn't make a choice. ”

"In the end, Mr. Ji, your two works will be awarded together."

Listening to Zhang Mingguo's words,

Ji Zhuo's whole body was numb.

Zhang Mingguo is a fun person here, but he doesn't know that I am also him.

If Ji Zhuo participated in receiving the award, it would not be to divide him in half, at least to chop it into three.

"Hmm...... Let's join the video link to claim the award...... By the way, the award in the name of the dog author is received by the publishing house. ”

"Okay, I'll tell them that."

Zhang Mingguo finally smiled and ended the call.

Ji Zhuo put down his mobile phone, sat on the sofa in the living room, looked at the dark night outside the window, his eyes were straight,

Feelings, mixed feelings.

……

“…… Well...... Is it possible, you say...... I is ABC? ”

University Residence Hall, Great Britain.

Xi Yuan flipped through "Shadow Empire" again, raised his head, and said to his roommate with some uncertainty.

And his roommate, with "Ordinary and Great" spread out on his legs, facing the lit computer screen, is fiercely confronting netizens.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

The roommate was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and looked at Xi Yuan in surprise,

"Xi Yuan, why did you make such an outrageous guess? I was arguing with people on the Internet just now, and some people even think that I is ABC. Is the style of their work similar? Is there any need for ABC to post on another account? Not long after the release of "Ordinary and Great", "Shadow Empire" was published again, is there so much time? ”

The roommate said quickly,

Sounds like a bit of a word, Xi Yuan is even more uncertain,

"I just finished reading "Shadow Empire", thinking about what you said before, and other readers on the Internet guessed, so I thought of it."

"That might be your delusion."

The roommate said.

“…… No, it's possible. ”

Xi Yuan listened to his roommate's denial, but he was a little more firm, shook his head and said,

"At least, it's reasonable to say that the dog author didn't release a new book so quickly, but ABC released a new book quickly, and it's not impossible to release a new book before the release of "Shadow Empire", which is empty for more than a month."

"In addition, if you want to use the purpose, is it possible to compete with the dog author this time? The dog author's new books are serialized all over the world this time, and when "Shadow Empire" was released, they also chose to publish works such as "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" and "Star Dream" overseas.

You know, it was said that this book was going to compete with the dog author, but ABC said it!

In fact, "The Ordinary and the Great" is the back hand he prepared, maybe even the dog author doesn't know about it.

He hid the identity of I from everyone, and waited for the results of "Ordinary and Great".

Zaigou author said, look, the results of "Ordinary and Great" are also good, hey, it's mine too! ”

Xi Yuan said, but the more he spoke, the more firm he became.

And his roommate was stunned when he heard it.

“…… That, Xi Yuan, your guess seems to make sense...... But in terms of preconditions, I is how to be ABC, isn't this too far-fetched. ”

The roommate swallowed his saliva and said again to the radiant Xi Yuan.

Xi Yuan listened, and his face showed some hesitation.

It's too far-fetched to guess so,

Although it is reasonable, but if you guess so, anyone can say it.

“…… Actually, it's mainly a feeling...... I feel that the type of work and the style of writing are very close. ”

"Although I couldn't find any obvious writing features...... But when I watched "Shadow Empire" and "The Ordinary and the Great", I could feel the kind of smooth writing, that is, the feeling that I don't use many complex words, but each word is used extremely appropriately, and the writing is extremely fluent......"

“…… Of course, perhaps, it could also be my preconceived delusion. After all, I made my judgment after hearing you say that some people on the Internet guessed so. ”

Xi Yuan had some speculation and some self-doubt.
