When the higher authorities announced that "Nian Nu Jiao: Remembering the Past at Chibi" and "Ode to Chibi" would be included in the textbooks, countless students had already lost all desire to live.
"What did I say? Don't be too happy too soon. Look at this!"
"I thought the high school students would get away with it, but damn, it just happened to be their plan!"
"Go find Chen Muyang, it's all his fault!"
"Yes, this matter can't be resolved peacefully without a few novels!"
A group of students rushed to attack Chen Muyang's comment section.
A five-star hotel in Jiangxia.
Chen Muyang was having breakfast with his grandmother and others in the hotel restaurant.
"Mu Yang, officials from the Hubei Provincial Government will come over to thank you in a while."
Huo Tingting walked over with her cell phone and said.
"Is this necessary? We will all be back to Yuzhou soon." Chen Muyang said after finishing a crab roe bun in two bites.
"They said they had to come." Huo Tingting shrugged.
"Then wait for them for a while, Sister Ting, you can sit down and eat something too."
"good."
......
Outside the hotel.
Two black cars with Hubei Provincial Government license plates stopped at the hotel gate, and several men in suits got out of the cars.
"Xiao Li, bring the gift."
Said the leader, an elegant middle-aged man in his fifties.
This person is the second-in-command of Hubei Province. In ancient times, he would be a real frontier official.
"Miss, which room is Mr. Chen Muyang in?" The second-in-command came to the front desk and asked.
"I'm sorry, sir, the guests' rooms are private and I can't tell you. If you need it, I can call to confirm for you." The receptionist said politely. She didn't even recognize the person in front of her.
"Okay, thank you for your help then." The second-in-command nodded and waited in the lounge in the hall.
Hotel restaurant.
Huo Tingting received a call from the front desk. She had been told in advance that if anyone was looking for Chen Muyang, they should call her.
"Mu Yang, they are here."
"Then let's go down, Zhu'er, you guys continue eating." Chen Muyang nodded and wiped his mouth.
Then he and Huo Tingting came to the hotel lobby.
"Leaders, it's just a small matter. Why bother coming here?" Chen Muyang stepped forward and shook hands with everyone.
"Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? You have made such a great contribution to our province, how can you not come and express your gratitude?" The second-in-command smiled warmly and winked at his driver Xiao Li.
Xiao Li put a bunch of gifts or souvenirs on the table.
"These are our little gifts, some local specialties and souvenirs. I hope Mr. Chen doesn't mind."
"The leaders are too polite. It was unintentional. There's no need to take it to heart."
"Well, you can't say that. Your unintentional action has greatly increased the popularity of our Chibi, and it's all thanks to Mr. Chen."
Chen Muyang didn't know what to say.
"Then I'll be grateful to you for making the special trip."
"That's right. I won't disturb Mr. Chen's schedule any longer. I'll take my leave now."
The second-in-command asked someone to put the things down and then left.
Chen Muyang was still wondering as he watched the car leave. Did he really come all the way here to express his gratitude? He thought there was something else.
"Put your things away, we have to catch our flight."
......
Chen Muyang sent his grandmother and Song Zhuer home, then returned to Yuzhou to continue filming "The Sun Also Rises".
When I had nothing to do, I checked my phone and saw my Weibo, only to find that the comment section had been occupied by students.
Then edited a Weibo post:
"There will be a novel, but before I publish it, I had some thoughts after visiting Yueyang Tower a few days ago, so I'm sending you a copy of 'Yueyang Tower Record' as an appetizer. Don't thank me, it might even appear in your textbooks. Please come and enjoy my humble work."
"In the spring of the fourth year of the Qingli reign, Teng Zijing was exiled to Baling County. The following year, the government was in order and the people were harmonious, and all things that had been abandoned were revived. He rebuilt the Yueyang Tower, adding to its original structure and engraving poems and fu by Tang Dynasty and contemporary writers on it. He asked me to write an essay to record this."
"I have seen the beauty of Baling, and it is in Dongting Lake. Embracing distant mountains and swallowing the Yangtze River, it is vast and boundless. In the morning sun and in the evening shade, the scenery is magnificent. This is the grand view from Yueyang Tower, which has been fully described by those who have gone before. However, it connects Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the south. Many wanderers and poets have gathered here. Wouldn't their feelings about the scenery be different?"
"When heavy rain falls, the moon doesn't break, the wind howls, the waves surge, the sun and stars disappear, the mountains recede, merchants and travelers cannot travel, masts and oars are broken, the dusk is dark, tigers roar and monkeys cry. Climbing this tower, I feel homesick, worried about slander and ridicule, and my eyes are filled with desolation and sorrow."
"In spring, when the weather is warm and the sea is calm, the sky is a vast expanse of blue, seagulls fly and fish swim, and the shores are covered with lush green reeds and orchids. Or when the mist clears, the moon shines brightly, floating lights shimmer like gold, and still shadows sink like jade. Fishermen sing to each other, and what joy is this? Climbing this tower, I feel relaxed and happy, forgetting all honors and disgraces, drinking wine in the breeze, and feeling extremely happy."
"Alas, I have sought the heart of the ancient sages, and have found them somewhat different from the two. Why? They are neither happy with things nor sad with themselves. In high positions, they worry about their people; in remote places, they worry about their rulers. They worry when they advance, and they worry when they retreat. So when can they find joy? They must say, 'Before the world worries, I worry; after the world rejoices, I rejoice!' Alas! Without such men, who would I go home with?"
After editing a lengthy article titled "Yueyang Tower Inscription", Chen Muyang clicked "Send" with a sly smile.
Now, the comment section exploded again.
"Oh my god, someone please take care of this guy."
"Brother Yang, please don't, we are wrong."
"I shouldn't have scolded you. Put away your magical powers!"
