Historical fiction 'Qin Hu'... Economic fiction... Realist fiction 'Living'...
Hmm, it's pretty much the same list I compiled before... Wait, why isn't Master Zhuang's work on the list?
A sudden flash of inspiration caused the person who had just nodded to freeze instantly.
He immediately read through the ten works on the 'Annual Masterpiece List' again, but he didn't see Zhuang Qiu's 'Life's Bitter Journey' at all.
However, judging by genre, the one that best fits the list as "A Life's Bitter Journey" is a work called "Living," written by "President Xu"?
The man quickly came to his senses, his face filled with horror:
"Alive? Whose work is this? How come there was no word of it before it was listed?"
The fact that this work was able to surpass Master Zhuang's "A Bitter Journey of Life" shows that its quality is much better!
...
At the same time, more and more people have noticed the anomalies on the list:
"My God! Where is Master Zhuang's 'Life's Bitter Journey'? And what's with this 'Living'?"
"It's unbelievable! Master Zhuang's work was overtaken by this 'Living' film. How is that possible?"
"To be honest, I guessed all the genres except for realism, but 'Living'..."
"The author of this 'alive' novel has such a strange name, it's called 'General Manager Xu', which sounds like the CEO of a company."
...
"This is... a bit awkward. Master Zhuang's side has already started celebrating, and now this happens?"
"Yeah, it seems like the judging panel is up to something. They haven't given us any advance notice."
"Hahaha, this is going to be interesting. Master Zhuang, who thought he was sure to be on the list, has now unexpectedly failed to make the list."
"To be honest, this Master Zhuang has been a bit too high-profile lately, which makes me feel a little uneasy..."
...
"What? Zhuang Qiu's 'Life's Bitter Journey' didn't make the list? Phew, that's great, that's great!"
By the way, whose work made the list? It's not another one of our CEO Xu's rivals, is it?
Daxu Culture's side.
Feng Xiaoxia, who had been following this matter closely, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
However, he soon thought of another problem, since quite a few people in the literary circle were influenced by Master Zhuang.
Upon hearing this, the messenger's expression turned somewhat strange as he said:
"No, that's not it. The author of this 'Living' novel is 'President Xu,' that's our President Xu!"
"What?"
Feng Xiaoxia was stunned.
He stared intently at the person opposite him until the other person nodded repeatedly and said:
"Brother Feng, I'm not making this up. The works on the list were written by President Xu. You can check it out on Shuqie."
Below Mr. Xu's "The Condor Heroes," there's this "To Live," I don't know how it made it onto the list of best works of the year.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia immediately opened the Shuqie Novel app on his phone.
Soon, he clicked on the page he wanted to see.
"So this is what President Xu meant by already making a move. I never expected this, I never expected this at all, hahaha!"
I knew Mr. Xu would have a plan. Now that his work is on the list of masterpieces of the year, well…”
Upon seeing the desired result, Feng Xiaoxia felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.
The pressure that Master Zhuang and his literary circle had created for me vanished completely in an instant.
"It has to be President Xu. He managed to make such a big move without making a sound."
Master Zhuang originally thought he would be on the list, so he was sure he could suppress our President Xu.
But now that Mr. Xu has become the person on the annual list of masterpieces, the other party's strategy has become completely ineffective!
Feng Xiaoxia is not stupid; in fact, he is quite intelligent.
The reason he was a little flustered when faced with Master Zhuang's attacks was simply because he couldn't find a way to break through them from his perspective.
After all, who would have thought that Director Xu would be able to squeeze out Master Zhuang's spot before the annual list of masterpieces was even released!
Nobody could have thought of that!
...
Similarly, those in the literary world who pay the most attention to the annual list of masterpieces are also looking at the list.
A young writer browsed the list, muttering to himself:
"I wonder which other famous masters, besides Master Zhuang, will be on the list this year?"
But soon, his expression turned strange:
"What's going on? I don't see Master Zhuang's work on the list. Is there some mistake?"
Where did this work, "Living," come from? How can it replace Master Zhuang's "A Bitter Journey of Life"?
In fact, anyone who saw that Master Zhuang's "Life's Bitter Journey" was suddenly replaced by a previously unknown "To Live" would want to find out why.
However, they often find themselves unable to emerge from their "exploration" for at least half an hour.
Those who are more emotionally sensitive were even more moved by the heart-wrenching plot, with snot and tears streaming down their faces.
However, this also proves something from another perspective.
That's why there's a reason why "To Live" was able to replace "Life's Journey" on the annual list of masterpieces.
At least most people probably wouldn't be able to cry when reading Master Zhuang's "Life's Bitter Journey".
Once those who investigated thoroughly felt the fairness and impartiality of the list, they noticed a second problem.
