Chapter 36 Mentor
It was already past three in the afternoon when Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei returned to Chaoyang District Committee D School from Shi Tiesheng's home. When they had dinner in the evening, they saw a group of people gathering around Jiang Zilong.
Lin Weimin came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't you know it's for the people?"
"Know what?"
"The institute will assign a mentor to each of our students."
"tutor?"
"Yes, just like those college students. Don't you know that our Cultural Association once applied to the Ministry of Education to award our students a master's degree after completing their training? Unfortunately, the Ministry of Education did not agree, saying that our conditions did not meet the standards."
Jiang Zilong's tone was full of regret.
Lin Weimin didn't take it seriously. With such school conditions, it would be impossible for the school to meet the standards. These leaders were really bold!
"So..." Gu Hua suddenly stared at Lin Weimin, "You are lucky!"
"What do you mean?"
"Have you forgotten? Mr. Wan asked for your manuscript today. I think it's likely that the teachers recommended you to him. He asked for your manuscript just to test you."
Lin Weimin realized it later. If it was true as everyone said, that would be great.
After two days of observation, the students also discovered that now every lecturer will be invited to the office by the teachers to have a chat after the lecture.
Sure enough, a few days later, after the last class in the afternoon, Tang Yuqiu walked to the podium.
"Students, today I have good news to share with you. After research by our leaders and communication with lecturers, each student in our class will be assigned a highly respected mentor based on their creative direction in the future..."
After hearing this, the students became agitated. Even though they had guessed it a few days ago, they still felt excited when Teacher Tang made the announcement.
In the early days of the Institute of Literature, students attended large classes and had few opportunities to meet and learn from the lecturers privately. Now the institute assigns a mentor to each student. For everyone, this is naturally a very precious learning opportunity.
"Teacher Tang, Teacher Tang, how are tutors assigned? Who is my tutor?"
"Teacher Tang, can I choose Mr. Nie Gannu?"
…
Before Tang Yuqiu could finish speaking, everyone started interrupting and the cafeteria was suddenly crowded.
"Be quiet!"
Tang Yuqiu shouted, clearing up the cafeteria, and then said, "As I said just now, the mentors are selected based on everyone's creative direction, and now they have been assigned. Now I will announce..."
"Huang Anyi, Qu Xiaowei, Guo Yudao, your mentor is Mr. Jin Jin."
"Qiao Yundian, Jia Dasan, Han Shishan, your mentor is Mr. Wang Yuanjian."
…
"Lin Weimin, the mentor is Mr. Wan Jiabao."
There were 34 students in the class, and the students in the front were all in groups of three. Only when it came to Lin Weimin, Mr. Wan Jiabao had only one student, and the students around him all looked at him with envy.
This kid is so lucky!
Lin Weimin also thinks so.
The status of "Thunderstorm" and Mr. Wan in China's literary and drama circles has been recognized for decades.
When the institute arranges students for tutors, it must first wait for the consent of all the teachers. The fact that Mr. Wan agreed to accept me proves that he is satisfied with me.
Lin Weimin thought again of the half-written manuscript that was taken away by Mr. Wan. Am I so good now?
He immediately warned himself, don’t be carried away, don’t be carried away, it’s all thanks to the original work, it has nothing to do with you.
After calming down for a while, Lin Weimin finally calmed down. Facing the envious eyes of his classmates, his face remained expressionless.
Especially at this time, the more we need to be calm, because we are people who have seen the world.
The tutor assignments were announced very quickly, and after Teacher Tang left, the class fell into complete chaos.
Everyone discussed their assigned mentors. The institute determined the mentors based on everyone's creative direction.
For example, the group of Huang Anyi, Qu Xiaowei and Guo Yudao all prefer children's literature. Huang Anyi's work for the lecture was the short story "Who is the Future Squadron Leader", and Qu Xiaowei's work was "Xiao Weiwei"...
Everyone was generally satisfied with the distribution results of the institute, but when talking about Lin Weimin, they could not hide their envy, jealousy and hatred.
What does it mean to be favored by the emperor? Just look at this kid and you will know.
The topic of assigning supervisors was a hot topic in the Institute of Literature and Research for a few days, and then students began to receive news from their supervisors one after another. Most of them were instructing them to go to their supervisors' homes to get to know them and listen to their teachings.
Lin Weimin waited for several days, but there was no notification from Mr. Wan Jiabao, and he felt a little disappointed.
Fortunately, he was not the only one in this situation. An Shishan, Jiao Yundian and Jia Dashan, who were assigned to Mr. Wang Yuanjian, had the same experience as him.
After waiting for several days without receiving a call from his mentor, An Shishan couldn't help but complain during his meal.
"It's so hard to wait like a fool. It's like a nagging woman. Then I think about the studies I've done in the past few months. It seems that I haven't made any progress. It's a mess!"
He was just complaining when Teacher Tang Yuqiu found him in front of everyone and said, "It's Shan, Mr. Xie Mingqing from the National Literature Publishing House wants to see you. He wants you to go to their place when you are free. He wants to talk to you."
An Shishan, who had a sad and complaining face just now, suddenly became energetic after hearing the news. He ate all the food in the lunch box in a few bites, got up and left in a leisurely manner.
There is a sense of pride and joy as if saying "I laugh out loud at the sky and go out, for we are not ordinary people".
Huang Zonghan looked at him and shook his head, "Old An's concentration is not enough!"
He turned to look at Lin Weimin, whose mouth was full of oil, shook his head, and sighed without saying a word.
Lin Weimin guessed that his general idea was that even Lao An has got in touch with the famous editor, but you haven't made any move. How shameful!
Old Huang, you are getting cocky again!
Lin Weimin does not have the anxiety that An Shishan has. Being chosen by Mr. Wan as a student is a good thing, but he also has to understand that some things are just icing on the cake, and it depends on himself to gain a firm foothold.
A few days later, news came from the institute that we were going to Beidaihe for vacation, and the students immediately cheered.
July is approaching and the weather in Yanjing is extremely hot. It is a perfect time to go to Beidaihe.
Before the leaders and teachers of the institute officially announced the news, the students had already taken action.
It is common for several people to go to Yanjing City in groups to buy travel supplies.
That morning, Lin Weimin and Qu Xiaowei made an appointment to go out together. Today was Shi Tiesheng's moving day, and they were going to help.
When they went out, they met Huang Anyi, Tang Kangmei and Ye Xin. The three of them also wanted to go out, saying that they were going to Wangfujing to buy some things for their vacation in Beidaihe.
Lin Weimin looked at the backs of the people, a little confused, "What should I prepare for a vacation?"
Qu Xiaowei once again felt superior to him, "You, you don't understand romance!"
Lin Weimin felt insulted, because the man was the one who was going to cut down the entire forest.
"You uncle!"
"You~ uncle!"
