Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 142 National Award ( words!)

"This is the first time I've become curious about an author because of a literary work. Don't forget that the Little Prince comes from a very, very small planet. That planet, which is not much bigger than a house, is his whole world."

“After seeing President Jian’s strong recommendation, I read the book with hostility: ‘I just want to know how good it is.’ It is indeed excellent. Even though the book has many shortcomings, as a book that touched me, all the shortcomings are unimportant.”

"Really important things are invisible to the naked eye. It's a very good book. At the end, I have a small question. The protagonist is set as a pilot. If he wants to meet the little prince in the desert, there are too many ways. Is there any special meaning?"

"I would like to call The Little Prince a machine for producing golden sentences. Although this book not only has many golden sentences, but also contains a lot of deep thoughts, this author is good at writing sentences. My favorite is 'The stars shine, isn't it so that everyone can find his own star one day?' It is a sentence full of imagination and healing."

Under President Jian’s Weibo post, most of the first batch of feedback from people in the industry were positive.

However, some people discussed my identity as a pilot.

Some people believe that as a "pilot", he can travel to many places and meet many people, which contrasts with the little prince's lonely situation on planet B375.

Some people think that it has no meaning and the pilot is just a random design by the author Gu Lu.

Some readers also judged that "pilot" is a symbolic profession because many children dream of becoming a pilot when they grow up.

The discussion was heated and it was probably another unsolved case, because even if Gu Lu was interviewed, he would not explain it clearly.

Readers who were recommended the book by President Jian on Weibo also talked about "The Little Prince" in their own circle of friends, mainly because it is very popular. Just like entertainment news, hot topics easily become topics of conversation.

No. 8 Middle School is currently enjoying a temporary peace because reporters have not yet swarmed in.

"Thank you for your hard work," Principal Chang said to Director Hu.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Director Hu said quickly, "I feel that my literary literacy has improved after being able to talk more with a talented writer like Xiao Gu."

Principal Chang's insincere greetings were mainly due to Director Hu's concurrent role as an instructor at the publication company, which meant he was working two jobs for one salary.

However, the principal did not expect that Director Hu would become a hands-off boss.

The instructor of the basketball club is a retired basketball player, and the instructor of the Shuren Literature Club is an experienced writer with more than 20 years of writing experience. Compared with students, they do have something to teach in terms of professional knowledge.

But Director Hu of the publishing company... has no experience in publishing, and can't teach Gu Lu anything about literature. To sum up, it would be wisest to let go.

"What privileges did Xiao Gu gain?" asked Principal Chang.

Director Hu informed Principal Chang of the two privileges granted to the publication company, and the latter frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

It’s not because of the club’s funding. There is only so much funding each semester. Principal Chang has other reasons for his dissatisfaction.

"We already have the Time Club and the Literature Club, so adding a Publications Club is actually meaningless." Principal Chang commented scathingly, "Even if Gu Lu uses his popularity to make the school magazine a success, what will happen after he leaves? Who can take over his job?"

The meaning of the words is quite clear. It is destined to be a short-lived product and has no publicity effect on the school. There is no need for a writing talent like Gu Lu to spend time on it.

Director Hu didn't respond, and it was obvious that the principal in front of him was thinking.

"That's right. No matter how good Xiao Gu is, he is still a high school student." Principal Chang pondered for a while and finally understood. "High school students have to use their youth to hit the wall."

"Principal Chang's summary is very insightful." Director Hu immediately took over the conversation, "Besides, there is another small reason. Student Gu's creative ability is too strong. It's only the end of the first semester of the first year of high school, and he stopped coming for evening self-study and morning reading so soon..."

"That makes sense." Principal Chang nodded. If all the privileges were redeemed so quickly, what would be given in the future?
"Also, Principal, we are investigating and found that there will be some minor issues next year..."

Important matters were being discussed in the principal's office.

In the classroom, students from Class 10 are taking a test.

Teacher Gao, who is known as the "Witch" (nicknamed because she sometimes gets very absorbed in reciting poetry), is serious in her teaching style and tries her best to strike a balance between test points and extended knowledge.

Mr. Lu Zhishen’s teaching style is a combination of enthusiasm and delicacy. His enthusiasm comes from his really rough voice, and his delicacy comes from his very careful personality.

As for Teacher Xiao, she doesn’t have a nickname, always has a smile on her face, and her favorite things are in-class exams and tests.

If you ask Gu Lu which one he likes the most, it's probably Teacher Gao and the political teacher. The former is very responsible. Gu Lu often sees her staying in the office until the students get out of school even when she doesn't lead the evening self-study class. The latter can trigger the golden finger! Those who can trigger the golden finger are all good people.

To be honest, Gu Lu studied English very seriously. He didn't even have to do English homework and would occasionally practice on his own.

It is mainly for the future plagiarism cause!
“Interest is the best teacher for learning, and financial prospects are a better teacher than interest.” Gu Lu’s English grades are pretty good. While he didn’t do homework in subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, he made up for a lot of his junior high school English.

Teacher Xiao's clothes were simple yet fashionable. She sat on the podium, smiling at the students who were writing at their desks. She looked at her watch from time to time, revealing a sense of calmness.

According to gossip from classmates, Teacher Xiao is rich and white but not that pretty, and she comes to class just to kill time.

To be honest, the words "beautiful, rich and beautiful", "tall, rich and handsome", "poor, short and ugly" all come from the Li Yi Bar. The Li Yi Bar has created too many memes.

"There are five minutes left before the class ends. Let's exchange our homework with our deskmates," said Teacher Xiao. "I'll quickly go over the answers and mark any mistakes."

This method is to test the friendship of classmates. According to Mr. Xiao's previous habit, wrong questions must be copied 20 times, so many classmates are in collusion...

Gu Lu and Qi Caiwei were still relatively normal and didn't do anything sneaky. However, ever since the former said something rather harsh last time, their relationship had plummeted and they could only maintain a basic relationship as deskmates.

In five minutes, Teacher Xiao read out the answers quickly and finished them in twenty seconds before the get out of class ended.

The English teacher can also add, "Students, please copy down your mistakes 20 times, and also copy down the words you learned today and the phrases you are required to master. Read them 10 times and have your parents sign. For students who live on campus, just have your roommates sign for each other. These are today's homework."

Why is Teacher Xiao the most popular among students and she doesn't even have a derogatory nickname? It's because she never investigates whether the signature is read or not, or whether the deskmate falsifies when exchanging corrections. It all depends on the students' self-awareness.

Teachers are a bit like the app "Dingding". Many people hate the function of Dingding, but adults know why they hate it. Because Dingding is indeed effective. Unfortunately, students at this age don't know that a teacher who is so strict that they feel uncomfortable is the one who is really good for their studies.

"Brother Gulu, can you please sign an autograph for me? My niece read The Little Prince. I told her that the author was a classmate of ours, but she refused to believe me."

"I feel that the fox is better than the rose. Why did the little prince choose the rose in the end?"

After class, two or three classmates gathered around him. Recently, many people in the school asked him for autographs, including students in the second and third years of high school.

In reality, many people never read the book, but just feel very cool to have a book signed by the author.

"Gu Lu, do you want to be a pilot when you grow up?" my deskmate Qi Caiwei suddenly said.

This was the first time in a week or two that his deskmate had started a small talk with him. Gu Lu responded in all seriousness, "I actually want to be an astronaut more than a pilot."

"Astronaut? Then why is there a pilot in the book instead of an astronaut?" Qi Caiwei asked.

"If the adult is an astronaut, wouldn't that take away the little prince's business?" Gu Lu replied.

"I went back and read The Little Prince, and I also wrote a review. Take a look." Qi Caiwei also took out a copy of The Little Prince, as well as a newly bought notebook, in which she wrote seven or eight hundred words of reading experience.

[Theme: Looking at the adult world from a child’s perspective.

……

I feel that this book is not like a fairy tale novel, but more like a low-profile version of a philosophy book.]
It was a long article. Gu Lu read the beginning and the end. He was more concerned about another thing, "Who told you the theme of this book?"

"I read the book reviews online and picked one," Qi Caiwei responded, adding, "This book is selling like hot cakes, and there are a lot of discussions on Douban."

"Douban, is Douban very popular now?" Gu Lu asked.

"It's very popular. We were celebrating the number of unique visitors exceeding 100 million in a single month." Qi Caiwei responded, and then asked, "I want to read a book. I search for reviews online first, then find a topic and then read the book. Is this okay?"

What if it's a new book and there are no reviews? Gu Lu didn't say this, because the other party had indeed made progress and knew that he had searched, "No problem, it's definitely very smart!"

After getting Gu Lu's affirmation, Qi Caiwei seemed like the little girl who had bought a genuine magic girl wand.

She was so happy not because Gu Lu was a talented writer, but mainly because her deskmate had determined her "direction". She didn't know if it was a habit, but Qi Caiwei really needed the affirmation of such people. Being affirmed made her feel sweeter than eating honey.

The conflicts between students occurred inexplicably and were resolved inexplicably, just as Gu Lu and his deskmate had resumed their previous friendship of bringing snacks to each other at the convenience store.

In addition, what Qi Caiwei said was not wrong: "The Little Prince" is selling like hot cakes.

“The Little Prince: What is the magic of the fairy tale novel that is sold out in Xinhua Bookstores across the country?” —— Southern Metropolis Daily

The headline party knows how to attract attention. Originally, only some Xinhua Bookstores in small cities were sold out, but with such a report, it seemed as if all Xinhua Bookstores across the country were sold out.

"The Little Prince, written by the talented writer Gu Lu from Fog City, has been loved by people all over the country." - Fog City Daily

Do you understand? Genius writers are not important, and the Little Prince is not important either. What is important is that Foggy City literature is loved by people all over the country.

Don’t blame the Fog City for being so excited. After all, Sichuan and Chongqing are inseparable… But Sichuan’s modern literature is too strong. Four of the famous Five Old Men of Shu are from Sichuan. There is no vicious competition, but there can still be healthy competition in literature. Chongqing feels inferior.

"The fairy tale is written by a teenager. This is the most surprising fairy tale novel this year." - Youth Daily

The subtitle of the Youth Daily is: A work described by Yu Xinyao as a gift for adults.

"The national sales volume reached 10 copies in five days, making it the fairy tale novel that reached copies the fastest this year." - Yangzi Evening News

With the help of several factors, the sales of "The Little Prince" reached 130,000 copies in the first week!
It has caused ripples in the physical publishing industry across the country.

There was a roar!
Many publishing houses have noticed this writer named "Gu Lu".

It is too exaggerated to say that one writer can support a publishing house, but it is absolutely correct to say that a best-selling writer is the main artery of a publishing house.

As the saying goes, those who are good at investing will reap profits. President Jian has won a general for the Children's Publishing House.

On the day the publishing house received the first week sales report, it held a meeting and decided to invest more promotional resources in "The Little Prince".

"President Jian really has a keen eye for talent."

"Among the more than 200 books we published this year, The Little Prince could rank among the top five in sales. Who would have thought?"

"I feel that there is great potential for The Little Prince stationery, because I have seen a lot of feedback from the survey that the book covers are very popular among students."

"Before, I felt that giving a new writer 9% was too high. No wonder Old Jian is the president and I can only be the vice president. With our subsequent promotion, this may be another work with 500,000 sales."

……

At the meeting, everyone praised President Jian.

President Jian also deserved the praise, because he had been optimistic about Gu Lu since the Ye Shengtao Cup.

"Regarding the publicity in print media," President Jian picked up a lot of newspapers reporting on the Little Prince, "We still need help, and I also want a comparison item."

As soon as the three words "comparison item" came out, everyone present showed a mysterious smile.

Then they started nominating: "How about Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince? They are both princes." "How about Flanders' Dog and The Wandering Witch? They both have the flavor of road novels." "If you want to choose, choose the famous ones. The Beans at the Window is famous"...

It is obvious that the publishing house wants to copy the fairy tale that has been famous abroad for a long time.

For publicity's sake, it's not shabby.

"Oh!" Mao Sanning put down the Yangtze Evening News and sighed heavily.

A few seconds later, Mao Sanning picked up the newspaper again. "The Little Prince by new writer Gu Lu was praised by many writers before it was published...Young people nowadays are getting more and more scary. On the surface, they are harmless, but in fact, they are ready to cause a big stir once they make a move."

You know, the sales of "The Missing Element", which Mao Sanning was so proud of, were only 80,000 in the first month, but brother Gu Lu surpassed it in the first week.

Currently, a book is considered a bestseller if its sales exceed 150,000 copies. The Little Prince is definitely a bestseller, and there is a high probability that it will even achieve that status in just ten days.

"It was launched with the strong support of industry leaders, and Yu Xinyao gave it a good review. If I were given this treatment..."

Mao Sanning wanted to say, if I were given this treatment, I could do it, but then he calmed down and thought about it carefully.

Forget it. Just with Yu Xinyao's mouth, his novel is worthless.

"Besides, even though he had the help of the big guys, it was also won by little Gu's own strength. What is there to be jealous of?" Mao Sanning murmured to himself. He and Gu Lu had met once, and even if his observation skills were not strong enough, he could tell from the fact that he bought a mobile phone that Gu Lu did not come from a very wealthy family.

[I saw the book "The Little Prince" you wrote, it's really awesome. When you come to Tianjin, I will take you, the great writer, to visit.]
After sending the congratulatory message, Mao Sanning took a deep breath and said, "I have to work hard too. Little Prince, I can still comfort myself by saying 'there is no need to compare in different fields', but if Mr. Holmes is published and becomes even more successful, then I will completely become a veteran."

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front of them, and Cat Sanning will always stand on the crest of the wave!
The excited cat San Ning said immediately, "I must write the beginning of the new work today. Write 5,000 words!"

The intermittent confidence lasted until eight o'clock in the evening.

"Forget it. I'm really hungry. There's no rush to write. Besides, I've gained a lot today."

Mao Sanning didn't know whether he had let himself go or indulged himself. Anyway, he dragged his tired steps and prepared to go out to eat "horse sand".

Let’s look at the word count on the computer word document: 216
As night falls, the sky darkens.

During the day, Cat Sanning was envious and jealous, but in the end he was relatively calm. But some people really, really can't be calm!

"Old Gao, you really are not a good friend. You are really not a good friend at all." Shima Mei, vice president of New Star Publishing House, accused, "No wonder you disagreed when we offered 8%. It turns out you have a back-up plan like this."

"If you are so confident, just say it directly. How many years have we been working together? Do you need to hide it like this?" Vice President Shima Mei said, "You are being petty to me, right?"

in fact……

Editor Gao of Time Reasoning opened his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say. He couldn't say that he had no confidence in fairy tales, right? The reason why he supported Gu Lu was that he didn't want to discourage the child's enthusiasm.

"We have been friends for so many years, how could I be petty with you?" Chief Editor Gao explained.

"You even invited me to dinner on purpose, saying that the child's studies are the most important thing, and that the publication of Mr. Holmes can wait for a month." Vice President Shima Mei was angry, "You're using the Thirty-Six Stratagems on me? You're sneaking around, right?"

Editor-in-Chief Gao couldn't explain how he could have thought that Gu Lu was better at writing fairy tales than detective novels?
"Lao Mei, it's my fault, it's my fault, I apologize." Editor-in-Chief Gao stood at attention and took the beating. "Just tell me, can two meals make up for my mistake?"

"Two meals is not enough, at least three." Dao Mei changed the subject, "Lao Gao, I'm not kidding anymore, can 10% sign Mr. Holmes?"

"...It's difficult, because I heard that The Little Prince is nine points." said Editor-in-Chief Gao.

Indeed, "The Little Prince" has become a hit, so it would be insincere to increase the price by only one point.

Although fairy tales and mystery are two completely unrelated fields, there is a bestseller that is of a different level. Look at the bestseller on earth, Keigo Higashino, who writes things that have nothing to do with mystery, but his royalties are also high!
"Can we try 11%?" asked Shima Mei.

It’s not that Xinxing Publishing House is stingy. Based on the market conditions in 2012, royalties over 10% were considered very high. Even if someone could reach 15%-18%, they would be writers with multiple best-selling books.

"Try it, but I can't guarantee success." Editor-in-Chief Gao said, "Xiao Gu is very opinionated."

"..." After thinking it over, Shima Mei said, "Why don't you introduce him to me directly? I will talk to this young writer with my sincerity."

Editor-in-Chief Gao agreed, and then the two of them discussed where to hold the two meals.

Ten minutes later, Editor-in-Chief Gao hung up the phone.

"In fact, I should have thought of this a long time ago. He made Sherlock Holmes so pitiful and tragic in Mr. Holmes. Writers who are good at writing about tragedy must be good at writing about beautiful things." Editor Gao muttered to himself. Because tragedy is to tear beautiful things into pieces, but if you don't know how to describe beauty, how can you tear it into pieces?

I don’t know if Gu Lu will write more mystery novels in the future. Will “Mr. Holmes” become his last work?

Whether there can be another long reasoning depends mainly on what is triggered. Gu Lu’s two current synthesis lists are full again, and the six labels are vague.

[Amazon's best-selling book in 2017] [Central Publication Award for Literature] [Atypical representative work]

[Too absurd and bizarre][Winning with "weirdness"][Master of imagination]

"Could the first label be "The Wind Rises"? Please don't let it be "The Wind Rises", we are not suitable!" Gu Lu prayed in his heart, and then he saw the head teacher walking into the classroom.

It was rare to see a smile on Teacher Gao's cold face. She was standing on the podium, so there must be some good news.

It was not until the bell rang and the students ran back to the classroom that Teacher Gao spoke, "The results of the Fog City Essay Contest [Chinese Culture: Wine Culture] are out."

Zeng Jie won this time. He successfully suppressed the urge to speak by willpower.

"Congratulations to our classmate Gu Lu and Li Guyuan for winning the first and third prizes respectively." Teacher Gao held up two certificates and said, "Come to the office after class to collect your prize money."

In the city essay contest, there were 3 first prizes, 5 second prizes, 10 third prizes, and 8000 outstanding works. The number of winners was less than that of the district essay contest, but the prize money was much higher. If Gu Lu remembered correctly, the first prize was as high as yuan.

Teacher Gao led the applause. "Li Guyuan's "Three People in the Shadow" is a very good essay. It starts with seeing her father drinking alone, then connects it to Li Bai, and finally rises to the wine culture. It's great!"

Starting from small things, yes, this is Li Guyuan's writing style, this style will be very real, more immersive. But there are also disadvantages, because it is from a point to the whole, the height of the rise will not be enough.

It’s like writing about wine culture. Wine and emotions are enough, but the cultural description is not enough. This is probably the reason why Li Guyuan only got the third prize despite his good writing skills.

After the students finished clapping, Teacher Gao continued to speak, "Liquid Fire is very bold. It takes a different approach by using a modern poem to participate in the competition."

"The teacher will post both articles on the blackboard at the back after class. You can go and take a look and learn." Teacher Gao said, "Learn more about Li Guyuan's way of writing articles, how to write in a scattered manner without losing the spirit. But don't learn the modern poems written by Gu Lu, which requires some hard work."

It’s no wonder that Teacher Gao was so happy. All the high schools in the city signed up for the city’s essay contest, and many high schools might not even have one winner. But Class 10 had two winners, so how could she not be happy?

Whether it is for students or for your own career.

"I also want to praise Gu Lu," said Teacher Gao. "Qi Caiwei's writing has improved significantly with Gu Lu's help. I only learned about this yesterday when Qi Caiwei told me herself."

The classmates looked at Qi Caiwei, who was not only able to take off by herself, but also able to take others with her!

Many students who were poor at writing essays, such as Lu Ping, looked moved. His mother even gave Gu Lu a pot of osmanthus and asked Gu Lu to teach them how to write essays.

Gu Lu taught seriously. After listening for a while, Lu Ping felt it was boring, but he didn't expect it to be so useful.

No, I have to ask my mom to get a plate of osmanthus flowers and send it over. I have to renew the subscription under this circumstance!
"Students should learn from Gu Lu and help each other." After saying this, Teacher Gao started the class.

The text we are going to learn today is Su Shi’s "Red Cliff Fu".

Another forty minutes passed and the bell rang. When Teacher Gao posted the two essays, the students swarmed over. They were not there to learn, but simply out of curiosity.

Among them, Lü Ping, Ma Xuanyou and Zeng Jie, the three with the largest tonnage, were at the front. From time to time, you could hear a few words of praise, such as "Awesome, you can even write poetry now".

Nowadays, people have not yet gotten rid of the fascination with the identity of "poet". When it comes to writing poetry, they think it is very cool, and even feel that it is better than the identity of a writer.

It doesn’t matter. If you lower the poet’s value, future generations will just throw shit at him!

"What's your mood?" Gu Lu walked to Li Guyuan and watched him eating a lollipop.

He didn't come here to show off, but mainly because Li Guyuan had challenged him in front of the whole class. If he lost now, would he...

"Of course it's very good! I won the third prize in the city and can be included in the student's enrollment. I'm so awesome." Li Guyuan boasted.

Hmm? Gu Lu was a little surprised.

"You're not here to comfort me, are you?" Li Guyuan seemed to have discovered something. He said, "I often say that we are the twin stars of No. 8 Middle School. You don't think I'm serious, do you?"

Gu Lu looked at Tang Yuan and waited for the next sentence.

"Of course not. Your achievements in writing are far ahead of mine." Li Guyuan said, "But I must have been serious when I challenged you, because pressure brings motivation."

"When I wrote this essay, I was thinking, I have to work hard, I have to work hard, I can't lose too much, it would be embarrassing." Li Guyuan said, "The facts prove that I succeeded, I am very satisfied with this essay!"

That being said, if you think about it carefully, if Li Guyuan really believed from the bottom of his heart that the two of them were at the same level, he would not have taken the initiative to propose to set up a publishing house, and after the application was approved, he would not have taken the initiative to let Gu Lu be the editor-in-chief.

Taking the initiative to give up the position of editor-in-chief and put oneself in the position of right-hand man proves that one thinks the other party is much better than oneself.

"So, Gulu, you work hard and move forward. Your excellence will inspire my potential. After all, we are the twin stars of No. 8 Middle School." Li Guyuan patted Gu Lu's shoulder, which was quite convenient because Li was one of the tallest boys in the class.

Recognize the gap and use it to motivate yourself... Gu Lu feels that Li Guyuan is better than him, because if his friends are too strong, although he will not be jealous, he will want to give up instead of catching up.

"Everyone has his or her own strengths." Gu Lu feels that the students of No. 8 Middle School are all excellent. It's no wonder, after all, it is the best high school in the Fog City.

After Li Guyuan received the bonus in the office, he treated the whole class to lollipops. In this case, Gu Lu couldn't be stingy and gave everyone a green tongue ice cream.

Let me tell you a detail. When Teacher Gao gave the essay contest prize to the students, he notified Li's mother. After all, three thousand yuan is not a small amount of money, and the teacher's behavior would not be liked by the students.

As for Gu Lu's parents, Teacher Gao didn't even think about them. After the home visit, she just thought that Gu's parents were dead.

"Be frugal. If you have any problems with rent or daily life, feel free to call me." Teacher Gao just said this when handing out money.

Teacher Gao knew that Gu Lu ate at school, so she was mainly talking about the rent. Rent is the biggest expense for a person living outside.

Before the afternoon evening reading session began, Gu Lu originally wanted to go to a bank near the school to deposit 8,000 yuan. It was not safe to carry so much money on him, but something delayed his trip.

"Gulu, I want to ask you something." said Lu Yi.

Zebras who were not familiar with each other? Gu Lu nodded, and saw that the squad leader meant to discuss the matter in a place with fewer people.

The two of them came to the rockery one after the other. Gu Lu thought that the monitor was similar to his deskmate and came to ask how to write an essay. After all, he was praised by the teacher.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi opened his mouth and said, "Gulu, you are the most famous student in our class - oh no, in our entire school. Are you afraid of being noticed?"

"If it's good attention, then you won't be afraid." Gu Lu didn't understand, but from the other party's eyes, this question was quite important.

"But attention with negative emotions is definitely uncomfortable." Gu Lu said, "Which kind are you talking about, zebra?"

"It should be attention without any mixture of good or bad," said Lu Yi.

"I joined the dance club for some personal reasons, and then a lot of people paid attention to me," Lu Yi said. "That put a lot of pressure on me."

"Are you asking me how to get rid of all this attention?" Gu Lu said, "If so, you can only leave everything to time. If you quit the dance club now, it will probably be fine after a summer vacation."

"Oh." Lu Yi nodded silently.

This answer seemed to make the other party dissatisfied. Lu Yi thought for a long time before saying, "I seem to be a very awkward person. I want people's attention, but I am afraid of excessive attention."

In fact, this sentence is not something that classmates would ask, but should be a conversation between good friends.

If Gu Lu asked, Lu Yi would say that it was mainly Gu Lu's achievements that made her feel that she was better and more capable than adults. At the same time, they were of the same age, so she came to ask for advice and told him her unknown secret.

"No wonder you worked so hard to practice dancing, but quit at the school celebration. That's why," Gu Lu understood. "But I want to correct you. This is not awkward. You want attention but are afraid of too much attention. Most people have this thought."

Gu Lu added in his mind that in the era before he traveled through time, many people made friends on the Internet like Mengchangjun with three thousand friends, but in reality - they were even afraid to contact people.

It’s okay to be followed online, but it can’t be linked to reality. Gu Lu has seen a lot of this.

"Ah?" Lu Yi was surprised. Others were also surprised?
"So the effect you want is that all classmates know about this person, but they don't pay attention to him. Is this understanding okay for me?" Gu Lu asked.

Lu Yi thought about it for a long time, found that Gu Lu’s description was very appropriate, and finally nodded.

Gu Lu suddenly lost his focus and thought Cui Jian was awesome. One line of the lyrics perfectly captured this situation: "I want people to see me, but not know who I am."

"I also wanted to be the moderator of the No. 8 Middle School forum, but failed." Seeing Gu Lu lost in thought (distracted), Lu Yi added.

As the moderator, many people in No. 8 Middle School knew her, but they didn’t know who she really was. Lu Yi felt that it was okay.

"Of course Tieba can't be successful. So many adults are playing it. The chance of a student like you becoming the moderator is too small. You should build a campus wall!" said Gu Lu.

"Campus wall?" Lu Yi was confused.

Hmm? Gu Lu came back to his senses. The campus wall or confession wall seemed to have first appeared in 2015 or 2016. Of course, it didn't appear in the present era.

Accidentally making history, Gu Lu said, "You play QQ Space, right?"

"Of course for fun." Lu Yi said that most girls like to decorate their space.

"We can use the feature of QQ space that can be accessed without adding friends to it, and build a campus wall for No. 8 Middle School," said Gu Lu. "Let the students of No. 8 Middle School browse it and post any new events in the school, or if they want to confess their love to a certain student, or if they have lost something and need to find it, they can post it there."

"You have an account logged into the wall of No. 8 Middle School. There must be a lot of people paying attention to it, but their focus is on the messages posted on the wall rather than the account itself. Does it meet your requirements?" said Gu Lu.

Good - what a magical idea! Lu Yi was stunned. If there was such a space, she would definitely log in occasionally to take a look.

Because of the timeliness and convenience of the dynamic space, it is definitely easier for students to accept than Tieba.

The only question is, "How do we let all the students in No. 8 Middle School know?" Lu Yi asked.

But without Gu Lu's answer, Lu Yi drew inferences from what he had learned and found the answer, "The first step is to advertise on Tieba, and then... then you can ask Time Radio for help, or even promote it in every class."

The more I talk about it, the more I think it's very feasible.

"Gu Lu, you have a really great imagination. You just thought about it and created something comparable to Tieba." Lu Yi couldn't help but say, "Are all writers' imaginations so great?"

Keep a low profile, Gu Lu said, "I am just providing a plan, the main push is up to you, Zebra."

"If it really works, which I think is very likely, our campus wall model will definitely be imitated," Lu Yi said. "In a broader sense, it will change the way students across the country communicate."

"Then whether we can change the whole country depends on your ability to take action, Zebra," said Gu Lu.

"Huh - thanks to all the attention I've received recently, my social skills are pretty good. I'll try to work on my own," Lu Yi said. "If that doesn't work, I'll seek help from outsiders."

The foreign aid she mentioned is Qi Caiwei, who is beautiful and has an extroverted personality.

Watching the zebra's Bu Bu Bu leave.

The campus wall might actually have been started by him... Gu Lu couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.

"In our Class 10, there is a student writer who has published several articles in "Youth Literature and Art" and the founder of Campus Wall. There are many hidden talents here." Gu Lu thought.

Two flowers bloomed, and the other one is in another school.

The other two winners of the first prize in the wine culture essay contest are students from Bashu Middle School and Yucai Middle School.

The two were in different schools, but both heard similar words.

The teacher of Class 6 of Grade chose Wang Mingjie from Yucai Middle School as the representative, and announced it in the classroom, winning applause from the classmates.

"Among the high school students participating in this essay writing competition in Fog City, there is a rather special person." The head teacher whetted the appetite of the whole class and continued, "Gu Lu from Class 10, Grade , No. Middle School."

What's so special about a freshman? The senior thought to himself, but the name is familiar.

"Gu Lu is a student writer who often appears on TV and in newspapers." The head teacher did not keep the secret, "Not long ago, it was reported that his novel sold 10 copies."

After hearing this, the students suddenly understood.

"Old Wang, you are so awesome to be on par with this kind of person," "Student Xiao Ming, you are invincible," "Dad is very pleased that you have such performance," "Why don't you work hard and start writing a book?" and so on. The classmates were talking about it.

That’s right, in the eyes of classmates, winning an award together with a legendary figure like Gu Lu is something worth showing off. At least in the students’ minds, it is more impressive than having it written in the student records.

"The Little Prince" really brought Gu Lu a lot of fame, especially in the foggy city.

Of course, The Little Prince is a bestseller, and the publisher’s promotions are in place…

The second issue of New Reading was also released in November, announcing the results of the first round of mailed questionnaires, and all four champion articles successfully defended their titles.

However, judging from the voting patterns, "Ghost Girl" only has a slight lead in the votes, and "Detective Pu Songling" also does not have an absolute advantage.

The authors were excited.

[Try hard to win 5,000 yuan] Some people in the group are very excited!

12twelve12: "Look! Look! With only a few dozen votes missing, my "Chi Yan: Dragon's Wrath (Part )" will definitely take the championship title. Hahahaha, let me tell you, nothing is unbeatable!"

Graffiti is not a crow: "When did you change the group name? I'm confused. Besides, is this group name serious? Try your best to get 5,000 yuan. We don't need this money, right?"

Lan Yi: "The group name was changed this morning, and Twelve went crazy in the afternoon."

12twelve12: "Who is crazy? My Dragon's Fury Part is about to surpass the champion of the [Three Terrors at Midnight] section."

Clearing the fog and seeing the light: "I submitted an article last time to test the waters. I think it's okay. [Liao Zhai Zhiyi] is not so impossible to surpass."

12twelve12: "It turns out that [Tomorrow Will Be Bright] is your vest."

Zhu Twelve and Guangming talked a lot and started to discuss, such as the five thousand yuan must be won, and the champion Wen was not that strong.

Those who can join the group are all capable people, and with the addition of commercial praise for each other, it's really embarrassing to watch.

Until one group member couldn't stand it anymore and broke the harmonious atmosphere.

Lan Yi: "The competition articles on Xinrui Reading are just like this - you never mention "Iron Pillar" and "Singing to the Moon in a White Room"!"

Suddenly, Zhu Twelve and Guangming stopped talking.

What? In the last issue of the readers’ poll, these two novels were ahead by a wide margin, especially Iron Pillar. It is no exaggeration to say that they were ahead by a huge margin.

Ordinary people don't play with perverts.

Penetrating the darkness of time: "Speaking of which, Gu Lu, the stubborn champion of New Reading, has the same name as the author of The Little Prince who was very popular a few days ago. Are they the same person?"

This statement has triggered a new round of discussion.
