Chapter 12 is amazing!

After finishing writing, Lin Xiao picked up his luggage and said, "I still have to catch a train, so I'll leave first."

Professor Bai Wanqing was still immersed in these few lines of poetry. After hearing Lin Xiao's words, she nodded and said, "Oh, okay, classmate Lin."

Then, Lin Xiao hurriedly left for the train station.

Professor Bai Wanqing looked at the master's and doctoral students of the Chinese Department below and asked, "Who else wants to come up and write?"

Dozens of students immediately shook their heads, and those who had already stood up sat back down.

I was eager to try it before, but now it would be a shame to go up there again.

Professor Bai Wanqing said: "Amazing, right?"

Dozens of students below nodded.

Bai Wanqing said: "You can't write a poem like this? He's only a high school student."

Dozens of people below nodded.

Bai Wanqing said, "I can't write it either. Modern poetry has much less requirements on format than ancient poetry, but it is the most difficult. First of all, emotions are something that can be expressed either way. And you have to condense your inner emotions with the best possible words, which is too difficult."

"Writing is something that really requires talent. It doesn't distinguish between the best and the worst based on age. It's very barbaric."

……………………

Before Lin Xiao got on the train, he bought a newspaper.

It was the National Day holiday, so the carriage was very crowded.

Lin Xiao did not take out his laptop to play. Firstly, he could not access the Internet and there was nothing fun to do.

Secondly, laptops were still rare items at that time, and if you took them out at this time, people would think you were showing off.

He opened the newspaper and flipped through it boredly.

Suddenly, an unforgettable name came into view.

Peking University’s first talented woman went bankrupt and died in the Internet industry.

Xia Xi!!!

The benefactor in the previous life who just stretched out a finger and dragged Lin Xiao out of the abyss and pushed him to the clouds.

Even Lin Xiao didn't know why she would help him.

Lin Xiao had no idea about her origins.

She is like a mystery.

It is not known whether the legend that she came from a wealthy family is true or not. Lin Xiao only knows that when she was in her thirties, she was already one of the shareholders of an international giant.

If she hadn't helped him in his previous life, Lin Xiao would have been completely finished.

At that time, he emptied out all his family assets, borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and even took out a lot of loans, and invested everything in this industry.

In less than a year, the capital chain broke.

The irony is that he had already seen the dawn of victory, but fell before dawn.

At that time, he really had no choice but to go to the rooftop. Not only could he not get back the capital he invested, but he also had so much foreign debt that he couldn't repay.

At that time, he really stood on the roof, but he didn't have the courage to jump down.

Just when he was completely in despair, Xia Xi reached out to him like an angel.

He easily helped Lin Xiao out of his predicament, and then gave him more traffic, allowing his career to grow bigger and bigger and make him rich.

Lin Xiao had only seen her three times in total.

Each time, more amazing than the last.

It's like being in the clouds, out of reach.

I didn't expect to see her name in the newspaper, and as a loser.

This piece of news briefly introduces Xia Xi's cheating life.

A talented girl, she won the first prize in the national Olympiad and the second prize in the International Olympiad.

He was admitted to Tsinghua University at the age of 15 and graduated with a Ph.D. from Peking University at the age of 24. He started two businesses during his college years and earned millions.

After graduating with a doctorate, she started an Internet business, lost tens of millions and failed completely.

The keynote of the whole article is about the tragedy of Zhongyong.

Xia Xi, maybe in this life, we will achieve each other's success.

In my last life, you saved me from hell. In this life, I hope I can pull you out of the depression.

If we were together in the cloud, maybe I could see you a little more clearly.

"Would you like some beer, peanuts, melon seeds, and instant noodles?" the conductor on the trolley came over and asked.

"Oh, no."

……………………

That night, Lian Zheng asked Lian Yi a lot of questions about Lin Xiao.

The family was originally going to stay in Hangzhou for two days before going home, but Lian Zheng slightly changed the plan and took his family to Shanghai to visit an old friend.

Shi Yin, vice dean of the School of Chinese Language and Literature at Aurora University.

Lian Zheng also graduated from the Chinese Department of Aurora University, and he and Shi Yin were classmates.

In the center of Shanghai, in the family compound of Aurora University.

The house is antique, sophisticated and full of age, heavy and elegant.

"Vice President Shi." Lian Zheng.

"Company head, oh no, it's the company secretary." Shi Yin.

“Blackheads.”

"Little white face."

Then the two of them laughed and hugged each other.

"Lian Yi, come and meet Uncle Shi." Lian Zhengdao.

Lian Yi came over, looked at Shi Yin with eyes full of spirit, and bowed politely: "Hello, Uncle Shi."

"Is this the little water drop? She is so beautiful, and I have a son..." Shi Yin said, "Forget it, he is not worthy."

Little Water Drop is Lian Yi’s nickname.

Several people sat down. Shi Yin waved his hand to send the nanny away, made tea for them himself, and then went to the refrigerator to get a bottle of purified water for Lian Yi.

"I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet." Shi Yin said.

Lian Zheng said: "The excitement has passed, now all I can do is worry."

Shi Yin said, "Tell me, what's your purpose? I know you very well. You don't even bother to come see me if you have nothing to do."

Lian Zhengdao said: "I want Xiao Shuidi to study economics at Aurora University, but her hobby is literature. But you and I both know that literature has no future."

Shi Yin said: "Yes, at least in this era, there is no future. Maybe there will be, maybe not."

Both of them hold high positions and would definitely not say such things in public, but they have a close relationship, so they can speak freely.

Shi Yin continued, "I've read Xiao Shuidi's article, and it's quite well written. So I called you a while ago and asked her to participate in the New Concept Essay Competition, but you rejected it."

Lian Zheng said: "Yes, I hope she will do her best to prepare for the college entrance examination, and her grades are not a big problem. But a small incident happened yesterday, which made me change my mind a little bit."

Shi Yin asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lian Zheng told Lin Xiao everything that happened yesterday.

Shi Yin said: "He is quite an interesting kid."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lian Zheng said: "Unfortunately, he is a poor student and has poor literary cultivation. Without the support of inner qualities, relying on cleverness is too weak. Then I couldn't help but think of Lian Yi. She likes literature, but her mother and I deliberately suppressed her and focused on letting her study science and economics."

"Economics is about dealing with numbers, which is another kind of boring. If you only deal with numbers, wouldn't your life be very dull? The key is that if you deal with numbers too much, your thinking will become narrower and narrower, and the sharper you are, the less you will be broad."

Shi Yin said: "You are right to think so. Now the economy and GDP are the most important things. Money has become the mainstream of the story, and the whole society has lost its romance."

Lian Zheng said: "I thought that Xiao Shuidi also needs to coordinate the arts and sciences. We can't stifle her hobbies and talents in this area, so I brought her here."

Lian Yi is indeed very talented in this area. Her grades are absolutely top-notch and her Chinese is also amazingly good.

After leaving school in her previous life, she picked up her hobbies in her spare time and wrote several novels, all of which were published. One of them was even shortlisted for the Lu Prize. Of course, she was already an associate professor at Aurora University at that time.

Shi Yin said, "Little Water Drop, did you bring your article?"

Lian Yi took out a manuscript from her arms and handed it over with both hands.

She is very smart. During exams, she always follows a standardized test and gets very high scores.

However, the article prepared this time is fanciful and full of imagination.

Shi Yin read it carefully and nodded, "Good, very good!"

He was quite surprised. It was really good and unexpected.

"I will hand it over to the organizing committee of the New Concept Competition tomorrow."

The manuscript was submitted personally by the vice president of Aurora University, so it is quite a heavy document.

Of course Lian Zheng did not intend to take this shortcut, but if Lian Yi really participated in the competition without telling Shi Yin, it would hurt their friendship.

Being needed by others can actually scratch that itch.

Especially when both of them are in high positions, this simple human interaction can best enhance emotional connection.

"Little Water Drop, uncle will take you around the campus of Aurora University, and bring you to the competition organizing committee in the evening so that you can get to know some of the faces there."

Then, Shi Yin enthusiastically took Lian Zheng and Lian Yi for a stroll around the campus of Aurora University.

……………………

At this time, in front of the office building of Linshan No. 1 Middle School, the teachers of the senior Chinese language group were holding a ceremony.

Guan Wen, the most famous talent at Linshan No. 1 Middle School, has finalized his work for the New Concept Writing Competition.

This composition has been read by almost all the Chinese teachers in the school, and they have also given their opinions.

Everyone was full of praise.

Guan Wen held the email in his hand, and several teachers looked at him. His essay carried the hopes of all the teachers and students in the school. After all, he had represented the school in many essay competitions and won many awards.

"Guan Wen, I wish you a great success." said the head teacher of Class 7.

Then, Guan Wen solemnly put the letter into the mailbox.

A dozen teachers behind him applauded.

"Guan Wen, I wish you a successful start and more honor for the school."

……………………

After getting off the train, Lin Xiao immediately went back to the classroom, took out paper and pen, and started writing furiously.

He rewrote the five essays he had submitted for the New Concept Writing Competition.

"A Crack in Time", "The Second Moon", "Rebecca", "The Metaphor of the Sun", and "Burning".

The last one, "Burning", is his original work, which draws on a lot of works, including "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", "Shame" (a classic work by Nobel Prize winner Coetzee), "The Crowd", etc. It mainly explores the self-destructive tendency in human genes and the irreversible law of increasing entropy. It can barely be considered his own work, although it shamelessly quotes many famous quotes, atmospheres, and theories from classic data.

He first wrote these five essays by hand and copied them neatly.

It took me a whole afternoon to finally finish transcribing the five essays. Then I carefully filled out the registration form and finally put it in a large envelope.

He first took the composition manuscript to the school office and found his class teacher Li Mingchao.

"Teacher Li, I have also written an essay and would like to participate in the New Concept Essay Competition. Can you help me take a look at it and give me some guidance?" Lin Xiao said seriously.

Li Mingchao was packing up after get off work and said, "Put it down. I'll read it when I have time."

"Also, have you written a public self-review for the whole school? Have you reviewed your homework? The monthly exam is the day after tomorrow. Have you thought about how to face your true results and your parents?"

After packing up, Li Mingchao left the office directly without paying any attention to Lin Xiao.

After all, Lin Xiao did not leave any manuscripts on his desk, so he asked just out of social etiquette.

After a moment, Lin Xiao left the empty office.

After leaving school, I headed to the post office.

"Hello, I'm sending a courier."

"Twenty-seven dollars!" The postal clerk inside didn't even raise his head.

Lin Xiao held the thick mail in his hand for several seconds, then handed it over.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiao left the post office and the sun was setting outside.

Five articles were sent out.

To be honest, he just wanted to show off and gain fame, he didn't mean to make Lian Yi cry.
